Under The Radar: What's Really Rankling Team Obama About The Wiki-Leaks Dump?

Here's The Right Side Of It ^ | November 30, 2010 | John L. Work

The Wiki-Leaks drama continues – replete with some major mis-direction. As I write this post, Drudge Report’s headliners are that Wiki-Leaks is currently under a massive cyber-attack – and that the leaks include revelations that Hillary Clinton sent some confidential messages requesting information on the psyche of Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

For instance, via Drudge from Tim Johnson of McClatchy Newspapers comes this lead-in:

“MEXICO CITY — Seeking a frank evaluation of Argentina’s president, the office of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires late last year to delve into her psyche.

“How is Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner managing her nerves and anxiety?” asked a cable dated Dec. 31, 2009, and signed “CLINTON” in all capital letters….”

Wow. Now, that’s some story right there – as if embassies are just now being used to gather intelligence on foreign leaders’ personalities, health issues and policies.

What I’d like to know more about is something the U.S. government and its friends in big media are never going to give us. It looks to me like the most embarrassing item for the United States on the Wiki-Leaks menu is another revelation of very ugly details about the duplicity of our supposed great ally – Saudi Arabia.

We sell arms to the Saudis. We buy oil from them. Our presidents show deference (in the most embarrassing ways) to them as friends of The United States and as partners in combating terrorism. That’s all very nice pabulum for public consumption.

But always look beneath the radar, says I. Where does the U.S. government want us to concentrate our attention during this Wiki-Leaks hysteria – and where would President Obama prefer that we not look too closely?

The Saudis engineer de facto purchases of major universities from us, via cash donations that are used to construct buildings dedicated to Middle Eastern studies (read that: Islamic studies). Cash never comes without expectations from the donor.

They fund the construction of mosques and export imams to our shores – Muslim leaders who preach Sharia, jihad and hatred for Western Civilization.

So what has really caused the greatest embarrassment and consternation among the Obama administration insiders? My best guess is that it is Wiki-Leaks’ spilling of the beans that the Saudis continue to provide financial support for the Al Quaeda terrorists who wage outright war against our best and bravest overseas – in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And that is the one issue that my money says is not going to appear on the mainstream media’s agenda for your consumption in the days and weeks to come.

Perhaps the documents are a mixture of information and disinformation, both from the government. That would mess up any attempt at interpretation. They also might include both accurate documents retrieved and forged “documents” inserted by the distributor. If both of these aren’t the case, perhaps the goverment should suggest they might be the case.

They essentially own all 6 TV networks in America. I will be attacked here because people love their TV, ball games, dancing contests, 24x7 propaganda.

Wiki leaks is Hussein.

I completely agree with your post/article — all of it. But what you fail to mention is the complete willingness of universities to accept the Saudi cash knowing full well of the expectations. Moreover, as long as the left in this country HATE everything Christian, such as displaying anti-Christian “art” in the Smithsonian, then they will look the other way. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the left encourages such Saudi donations as to them it represents a poke in the eye of Christians while falsly demonstrating their tolerance.

Dead on.

Excellent analysis, Marylander. At this point, what can any of us blieve as truth with so much disinformation and obfuscation thrown at us?
