How many more Lies are we Really Willing to Accept from our Politicians?
USA Transnational Report ^ | April 26, 2016 | Wallace Bruschweiler & William Palumbo

By Wallace Bruschweiler and William Palumbo

The lies from this administration are well-known and numerous. Among only some of the most infamous: If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. ISIS is a non-threat, the “JV team.” The economy is in great shape after years of sustained recovery, and unemployment is at a de minimis 5%. Daily life over the past seven and a half years and the six o’clock news will relieve you of these fictions.

The Barack Hussein Obama administration’s deceit is deployed deliberately to assuage our deepest fears concerning the state of our country and the world. The administration’s disinformation campaign will continue at least until the election, meaning that the citizens have seven more months of utter falsehoods whose origin is their own White House.

In recent days, another three lies have made the headlines on television and other media outlets:

Obama has insisted on multiple occasions that he would not put boots on the ground in Syria. Yet now we learn that an additional 250 advisors are being sent to Syria, on top of the 50 advisors who are already there. Are 300 “advisors” not boots on the ground? U.S. involvement in Vietnam started with advisors.

Speaking of “Syria,” does the administration realize that Syria is no longer a country? - it imploded some time ago. Since the conflict began in 2011, after almost five years, the country’s southern border with Iraq has dissolved. The government does not control large parts of the country, which are dominated variously by terrorists in some areas, Kurdish groups in others, and the primarily foreign-composed ISIS. The media should have realize that “Syria” as a single country is a thing of the past.

This week, Obama went to Hanover to visit with German Prime Minister Angel Merkel. While there, the two destructive leaders perpetuated the lie regarding so-called “refugees.” Obama praised Merkel’s open invitation to these “refugees” to escape the conditions in various Middle Eastern and North African countries. But let’s examine for a second: what is a refugee? The real definition and decades of experience show these invaders are definitely not refugees, but could be considered a fifth column.

Legally, refugees must remain in the “first safe country” that can offer them asylum. “Refugees” from Syria must pass through Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, several Balkan and/or Eastern European countries before they reach Germany. Alternatively, they could seek refuge in neighboring Arab states, where the predominant culture is closer to their own than that of Europe’s or Germany’s.

Historically, refugees are mostly women and children. The men traditionally remain in the country in conflict to fight. However, according to a UN report the wave entering Germany (and more broadly, Europe, thanks to the Schengen Agreement) is 72% male. Once again, why is the media taking the three monkeys approach with refugees – see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil?

Finally, we come to the American presidential primary process. The culpability for this lie is on both sides of the political aisle. Regardless of the technical rules of the nomination process, the American people were led by the media (and the parties) to believe that by voting in primaries and caucuses they chose their parties’ presidential nominees. In this election season, we are all getting a rude awakening, as both parties are nakedly using their petty rules to nullify votes.

Of the 71 delegates up for grabs in the Pennsylvania Republican primary this Tuesday, 54 of them are completely unbound. This means that regardless of how the people of Pennsylvania vote, more than 75% of the delegates can vote for whomever they choose during the convention, or even before it with bribes or other considerations.

On the Democratic side, superdelegates were used to deny Hillary Clinton the nomination in 2008. This time around, they were touted to present Clinton as a fait accompli, the candidate who would be the nominee regardless of Senator Sanders’ popularity.

The approach used by our politicians is sometimes called the “salami technique,” reminiscent of the way a butcher slices a sausage meat – one thin slice at a time, until the entire salami is consumed by the slicer. Such is the way these lies have accumulated to the point where truth is scant to be found.

We recognize that constant abuse of public trust has a jading effect, and the people today rarely challenge blatant lies from their politicians (and media). We credit that to the salami technique.

Still, 2016 should be a time when we thoroughly reject the lies and demand transparency, truth, and accountability. Period.

If Hillary wins, the answer will be “an infinite number”.

King Obama, the communists black Muslim terrorists, has literally destroyed much of America. The Federal Government is totally corrupt and will take a miracle to correct, if ever.

Trump for President.

As many as it takes to remain fat and happy. Truth, particular if it’s not something you WANT to beleive, doesn’t stand a chance.

One of the things we’ve learned this season is how the party establishment (on both sides) has rigged the primaries to prevent a populist not beholden to them from threatening their control. This has been put in place over a long time, well before the advent of Trump, but now is the first time they’ve really had to use it, which mean it’s the first time most people knew it existed. They’re all corrupted.

Yep I’d say you’re right about that. “Oh, you didn’t know your vote doesn’t matter? Silly you. You should have read the 40,000 page rule book for your elections.”

None of it will be rectified with elections. Or was it electrified with erections.

But whenever Barry tells one of his whoppers, the GOP is right there, shoulder-to-shoulder, correcting him.
Right?

Hello?

Vote Trump.

Trump will form a non stop 24/7 convoy of manure trucks loaded with Washington Waste. All heading out to be disposed of.

I seriously believe it will be the best thing for America in over 50 years. It won’t be easy getting rid of the vermin, they have control of the pest control agencies themselves.

As my friend says, if Trump wins, invest in moving companies. There will be an Exodus from DC.

I was thinking of buying a used Peterbilt, with a larger sleeper, or a used ex race car hauler with living quarters and a shop and then heading to the southern border in hope of getting a better paying job for when Trumps Greater Wall starts going up.

We WILL hold him to his campaign promise.

I don't know about Trump getting rid of the graft and corruption. Isn't he kind of part of it giving "donations" (bribes) to politicians both D and R?

When asked a pc position he always takes the pc position first and then corrects later. I don't know if he knows where the corruption is, The State Department has just been busted for not turning over Clinton emails when FOIAed two years ago, how will he clean that cess pool out, does he know what they did?

That is what I am most concerned about, will he have the intestinal fortitude to take on the government employees? Remember all of them without exception are against the American dumb citizen and are running the show with all our personal records, IRS, Homeland Security, DHS, ready to come down on a dissenter like a ton of bricks. You can't fire a government employee, they are immune to responsibility of any kind, they are union.

Should we find it odd that you’ve been a FR member for 15 years and have a 2 page posting history?

Are you planning on going back into hibernation as soon as the election is over?

You surely should.

How many posts are on your page? I had counted six pages to get past February of this year, and kept going to well over a dozen pages of posting history for thirst4truth.

I did not get to the end of those posts.

Some people post more than others, too.

So are you trying to Alinsky someone who just might not deserve it?

Yeah, I find it real odd.

You need to learn to count.

I invite anyone that wishes to know which one of us is telling the truth here to check for themselves.

His entire posting history is on 2 pages with his first post dated

Could you have passed the 8th Grade in 1895?

And your point? Why does it matter how much I post or reply to someone else post? Really I don't know what you mean by saying I have a 2 page posting history? Is it because this has become a Trump supporting website? I noticed Jim R pulling the thread that made Trump look bad, he gave donations to McAuliffe, can't read about that, right Jim?

So I finally post a legitimate question to all Trumpons and get nuked due to not posting enough?

Answer my question, does Trump know enough of the inner workings of DC to clean out the trash and fire government employees?

All of them. At this point we beg politicians to lie to us.
