False Job Numbers: Did The White House Know?

Did White House know about fabricated and manipulated job numbers before 2012 election?

Let me be the first to ask: Did the White House know that employment reports were being falsified?

Last week I reported exclusively that someone at the Census Bureau’s Philadelphia region had been screwing around with employment data. And that person, after he was caught in 2010, claimed he was told to do so by a supervisor two levels up the chain of command.

On top of that, a reliable source whom I haven’t identified said the falsification of employment data by Census was widespread and ongoing, especially around the time of the 2012 election.

There’s now a congressional investigation of how Census handles employment data. And we can hope that we’ll find out this was just an isolated incident.

In general, any action of such fundamental importance as that of reporting the latest job numbers certainly requires the highest possible governmental ranking at wherever the buck stops if these numbers have been deliberately falsified. What high end governmental official would take it on upon themselves to falsify job records in the absence of any higher up acknowledgement of just this very thing? To take it only upon themselves alone, without upper-governmental approval to do what would be found out nearly instantaneously? And what sort of motivation would some lone individual with a suicidal bent ever consider making such an egregious, ill-advised action solely on their own discretion? No. That sort of scenario defies any rationale.

In the real world in which anything that occurs is facilitated within an environment of governmental hierarchy that which starts at the very top. There is no understanding of the process of government without this realization of how government works within the chain of command.

Why would anyone in the lesser rung of the government chain of command take it upon themselves to falsify public records when the price of being caught in such an egregious lie is at the very minimum immediate loss of said position? No. The only one who would, could make such a move could be no one else other than the one at the very top.

Follow up this conclusion with all other incidents in which outright lying has been revealed as the general modus operandi of the way things work under the current administration, the query of whether the White House knew is a question that never had any reason to be asked.

In another day and age, not that long ago, or even under the scenario in which a Republican president would engage the same sort of blasphemous behavior that goes on every day, serving in government was once upon a time a vocation of duty, honor, principle, for the people, good of the nation to take on the what others cowardly shirk away from, in the face of criminality, behavior way below the threshold of minimum ethical standards, some of the wholesale criminality, illegality that the president makes a daily habit of doing would certainly have forced some sort of reckoning by a dauntless, upright individual of conscience of morality, despite the best efforts of the Democrats to threaten, cajole into pusillanimous silence and inactivity that characterizes those who shamelessly wear the label of GOP .

But except in name only, the Republicans, it's leaders, are very much complicit, standing aside cowering in fear, dissociative apathy as they sit by the wayside every bit the spectator in this tragicomedy of America in its final days of ignominy.

I doubt the Won knew and in fact, I think he had nothing to do with it the phony jobs reports. Obama is surrounded by pants sniffing droolers that will do and say anything to protect him. Obama didn’t have to ask and if some low level staffer had to fake the data to get Obama re-elected they would just do it like the loyal sycophants they are. I also don’t think Obama is smart enough to accomplish all these things on his own. If anyone in the white house knew they wouldn’t have told Obama because that would mean Obama’s own image of himself as the savior of the economy would be shattered. Methinks anyone who dares pierce the thin skin of the little boy king Obama is shunned and destroyed and that keeps a lot of people silent.
