This has got to be a test. It can’t possibly be anything else. The way this president and government overall is blowing it so royally on an everyday basis staggers the human mind, or at least the ones that are working properly.
I suppose in a pinch we could look at it as a comedy cocktail that would be produced if Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor, Rod Serling, Alfred Hitchcock and Alfred E. Neuman all got together to see how much horror the American people could stomach before we stopped laughing. This Twilight Zone Psycho definitely Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest one too many times.
I’m done laughing.

Yeah, Nugent pretty much nails it. BO is pathetic.
I don't know if it was a suckerpunch... because WE all saw it coming.
It will be a shame and near-criminal if the Republicans in DC find yet another way to bogie THIS advantage.
My comment on the WND piece:
America is in much greater danger than people realize. Read Atkisson’s “Stonewalled” to see how all of the pieces are being put into place for a coming dictatorship. If you don’t have time to read her book (and you should) please read my essay “Stonewalled in Obama’s Garden of Beasts,” that compares Atkisson’s book to Eric Larson’s 2011 bestseller “In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin.” Folks, dictators don’t start out with boxcars and concentration camps. First they subvert the media and make it an accomplice. They also install willing stooges and henchmen in all key positions. (DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA etc) and that is done.
Most worrying, it has been Team Obama’s M.O. ever since he ran for state senate to use blackmail and timely leaks of scandals to advance his career. This is how they controlled and then axed General Petreaus when he was DCIA. Blackmail is “the Chicago Way,” it’s in Obama’s DNA. Remember all the FBI files “found” in the Clinton White House? Do you think they are not being used today, and much more?
What if Roberts, Boehner or McConnel are under blackmail control? This is Obama’s specific M.O. Here’s what Atkisson had to say in Stonewalled:
“Allowing Clapper and other government officials to be in charge of solving their own surveillance controversies is like inviting the fox to guard the henhouse. Except the fox is also getting the keys to the henhouse and the recipe for chicken fricassee.
“In a fictitious world, one can imagine a meeting in which any member of Congress calling for Clapper’s head gets a closed-door visit from Clapper or his team. They slide a file bearing the name of the member of Congress or someone close to him across the desk, J. Edger Hoover-style. The file contains materials surreptitiously gathered under the auspices of a government leak investigation or surveillance program. The member of Congress opens the file. Perhaps his eyes flicker. Maybe his face becomes white. The materials are very...personal. The imaginary Clapper rubs his forehead with his four fingers. No words are spoken because no words are necessary. The file is closed and Clapper drags it back across the desk, never to be spoken of again. Unless necessary. Suddenly the member of Congress is no longer out for Clapper’s head.
“Or here’s another fictitious premise. CIA director Petraeus deviates from the Obama administration’s official line on Benghazi. Somewhere in a private room, a small group of government operatives culls through data to find out who Petraeus had been emailing and calling. Any skeletons in that closet? A review of his file reveals some unseemly contacts with his former biographer. That information could come in very handy.”
Does anybody not realize how we are checkmated if Roberts, Boehner or McConnell are being blackmailed into compliance?
Seems like the only thing that happened in the recent (s)election is that the gop-e won some more seats in the house and senate. Will it be beneficial? Kinda thinkin’ not but waiting to see. The ‘16 (s)elections aren’t that far off and there are a number of gop-e senate seat coming up for grabs so they best be very careful how they do things in the next 2 years. I sure wouldn’t want to see a new dhimmiokkkrat majority (s)elected that might never be unbroken once in place.
Travis, I got the book “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson from the library and started it last night.
Beyond fascinating, and non-fiction, too.
The parallels between 1933 Germany and present day America are downright scary.
Seems like the major concern for a lot of folks is what’s going to happen to honey boo boo’s family now that the show is cancelled or will the kardouchians buy a place in the hamptons or who will be kicked off the island next. The old “can’t happen here, the government would never do that” mind set is firmly in place. Sad, sad, sad situation.
I think there’s even more dirt on Petraeus than just a dalliance with the biographer. As far as Boehner and Roberts, I think there’s probably a big file on them. Not sure about McConnell.
Yes, thanks. The point of the comparison is not that Obama = Hitler. The point is that before the overt signs (boxcars, concentration camps) all of the media and govt levers are cut or subverted. Obama is well on is way to simply superceding the Constitution, with American Pravda’s approval, and bogus polls to back them up. If Roberts or Boehner or McConnell are under blackmail, freedom is done. And blackmail is 100% Obama’s M.O.
Yes, blackmail and the unsealing of sealed documents of opponents is how Obama rose through the political ranks to become Senator.
And it may be how he took the nomination from Hillary in 2008.
The book also portrays normalcy bias.
Sometimes, one does not want to believe what is happening right before one’s eyes.
If any one or more of those three are under blackmail (Roberts/Boehner/McConnell, we’re check-mated.
Yes it is. We are living in Idiocracy. The few of us who read books, for example, will not be enough to guide the screen addicts.
Crunch time might look like this.
“What I saw at the coup” (short fiction)
http://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/what-i-saw-at-the-coup/
Exactly right on all points.
Two out of three most likely are! McConnell is probably just a shithead. Catherine Austin Fitts has related the fact that a file is held on every politician of both parties and anyone who could be nominated for any court position in fedzilla. These are euphemistically known as ‘blackmail files’. The oligarchs don’t admit and allow to remain as a person into the power structure unless they have something for leverage over them ...
Several folks I’m acquainted with apparently hail from the Island of Moronica. A couple from Dumbassistan too.
Just read it. The chills are still on my spine! Too close to what we are watching unfold today. (Very good writing, BTW.)
Bookmark. Thanks for the summary.
