It seems to me Petraeus was being blackmailed..for sure...but he was being blackmailed by President Obama. That is the only thing which makes sense. It fits the circumstances and the necessary narrative for Obama.
The Obama style of fascism is to create crisis and introduce instability into the camps of ones political enemies. You can see this as Obama still struggles for absolute power within the democrat party, and BTW, he is no democrat, he is a fascist according to the established tests of history ( http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html )
Now the left is eating their own , the death of Stevens in Benghazi, a supposedly gay leftist who was funneling arms to Libyan freedom fighters ( in truth who are mujahadeen jihadists), has brought on a series of purges over the execution of various duties in Obamas cabinet, and damage and injury to various colleagues, among whom ordinary citizens are not counted, only fellow leftists.
So the cycle of a dictatorship is to seek lines of socioeconomic fracture, the fault lines of society, pursue them according to stated policies, initiated scandal and crisis and them purge those who do not make the grade as A TEAM fascists, those who are not loyal enough to el Duce Obama , for example, or those who have to be sacrificed when el Duce Obamas schemes fall through.
Now Clinton, Holder, Petraeus, and various military leaders are coming under the axe , having failed in their loyalty tests , or in their execution of thug duties behind the scenes.Its very much as if the mafia has taken over the government. This is standard fair in any society in which fascism has taken power, they work immediately at entrenchment and consolidation of power. Governance becomes a mask, a bed of camouflage to cover what is going on underneath.
It is laughable to see the left recite infidelity and breaking marital vows as condemning Petraeus. They could care less about it in fact. They want a public reason to be rid of a man whop would reveal the genuine agenda of the Obama fascist administration in Libya.Petraeus was given a way out, or alternatively he would have been executed by the fascists who now are in contol of our nation.
Obama was caught with his pants down in Benghazi, and the good general was about to sing like a canary.He has been given his walking papers under threat of death IMHO.That's how fascism works.
What we see now are peaceful liberal fascist purges. Next watch as democrats and leftists begin to disappear, have accidents, or who are executed outright.Traditional conservatives are not in disarray,BUT THEY must be ready to fight under a common definition of the fascist enemy we now face, many are still in denial, and as it was in every case in history,the fascists task now is that conservatives must be re-educated, or conquered socio-economically, before these fascists can take full dictatorial power here in our formerly free nation. Conservatives stand in Obama's way.They must be destroyed at all costs by any means possible. The numbers show that the election was rigged nationally, and now the fascists have succeeded in consolidating power.This is about destroying conservatives now.It is why the Tea Party must NOT disband or cease its work.
Obama is ready to start dropping his mask and we will see more of the fascist face of the regime that pretends to govern a free people.In fact they want to destroy America before reconstructing it as a dictatorship which has a surface image of freedom and democracy, when in fact it is a fascist state using Utopian ideals to subjugate a hitherto free people.
Now the economic destruction of America and the destruction of the entrepreneurial small business owners of America begins in earnest. Trillions more will be borrowed and crisis after crisis will occur until we accept dictatorship as a necessary mechanism to cope with the various machinations brought upon a fearful, insecure, economically poor America by these fascist thugs themselves. But the fascist will continue to live like Lords, and they will create a new class of fascist mandarins in government, who will be the new affluent class intended to replace the fast disappearing entrepreneurial class of our country.
Thats all hope and change. And America voted for it.
Here is todays face of the Republican party, a face of those who could have saved us, if they would have accepted the fact that our nations is threatened by fascism.This is the face of GOP which now enables and empowers fascism in our country:
We all should urge Petraeus to testify on Benghazi with the House Oversight Committee.It is crucial to unmasking the fascist Obama administration.Impeachment of Obama must commence forthwith.
Obama is about to beat America like a drum, after he consolidates his liberal fascist power, and perfects his rule by executive order, and its enforcement.The courts are cowed by Obama, Congress is cowed by Obama, and he now has free rein. This is when the knives come out, and Obama has drawn his in earnest, getting the drop on everyone.
