James O'Keefe has produced documentation in his Project Veritas endeavor which has produced two videos that I know of to date (which can be found on Youtube as well, Part 1: Rigging the Election - Video I: Clinton Campaign and DNC Incite Violence at Trump Rallies and Part 2: Rigging the Election - Video II: Mass Voter Frauds.
I have watched these two videos, and the content astonishes me. But let me clarify that they do not astonish me the way they might astonish or startle many Americans, because the tactics are not new, I have seen evidence of this before, and being enough of a student of Liberalism to understand it better, I realize this is who they are and how they function.
I took the time to read Alinsky's work, and to read the books Obama has supposedly written as well to better understand the actions and tactics of liberals, and while absolutely none of it has surprised me, it has certainly disgusted me, particularly Alinsky, who is a demi-god to most upper ranking liberals today, significantly Obama and Clinton.
So, that doesn't surprise me at all that they are inciting violence, engaging in voter fraud, and breaking election laws left and right. As James O'Keefe says in the first video, there is strong evidence of criminality.
What surprises me is the level of smug arrogance the leftists in these videos exhibit, openly bragging about their activities, and the realization they feel obviously empowered to do this because they believe their backs are covered by the Administration, DNC, and other arms of the government populated under direct control of leftists "down with the cause" of liberalism and the tactics used to advance it. Arms such as the FBI, the DOJ, etc.
This is what the last eight years of Obama has brought to us.
The reason I am starting this thread is to discuss why this is not taking hold. It simply isn't because the news media is suppressing it, which they clearly are. It isn't because the candidates and national parties don't want to discuss it openly, which they don't. There is more to it. On the face of it, this should be exploding even with those factors.
the video is irrefutable. It is specific. It has times, places, and people.
It isn't video taken out of context, it is completely in context.
It isn't audio that might be faked. It is video of highly recognizable people, in expected locations, speaking on camera.
The people aren't nobodies, rogue operators, fringe players, autonomously operating on their own. These are two significant players who, between them, have visited the White House nearly 350 officially recorded times, and met PERSONALLY with the President of The United States 40+ times. Forty times. Watch the video, listen to what they say, and think about that. Nearly 350 visits overall in eight years to the seat of American political power, and met personally with ostensibly the most powerful political figure on earth. Again, watch the video, listen to what they say, and think about that.
When I saw this video, it impressed me as having the potential to be the most significant political developments in modern American political history. It should be generating a 9.6 earthquake on the political Richter Scale. Why isn't even barely registering, even taking into account the media and national party attempts to suppress it?
I recognize there are many factors at play, and it has only been a few days since this video was released. The Watergate scandal took several weeks to begin percolating.
I have also been told that these to key players, Robert Creamer and Scott Foval, are bit players, unknowns. My response to this is two-fold: First, these two men are not unknowns. They have been to the White House hundreds if times, Robert Creamer has even been photographed shopping with Michelle Obama. Secondly, in the past, people like Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James McCord, Eugenio Martínez, and Frank Sturgis were real nobodies, and that didn't stop a political tsunami.
So, lets talk. What is this, why is this, in a time when it should explode with shock waves to the top of the White House and DNC, is this quietly sitting there?
Main Stream (Lame Stream) Media is ignoring it all together. They are more focused on the women coming out of the woods to scream Trump assaulted them. That’s what the DNC has told the media to do. They faithfully obey directives from the Dems.
Let me guess:
You turn on CNN and go to Washington Post, looking for them to talk about it?
Toss a rock into a lake, and you wont see 5 foot faves, but the water is still moving.
Donald Trump said “pu$$y”...
dying...at the hands of lanestream media.
MSM is focusing on the edits.
Nobody else is commenting.
CNN cutting feeds whenever stuff like this starts being talked about.
Hugh Hewitt just said “4. discredits to a great extent charge that @HillaryClinton directly involved) but MSM needs to fully explore”
Those who claim to speak for conservativism do nothing but give support to the enemy.
Like other crimes, we have become numb. Remember when school shootings were shocking? Are they still?
No surprise here. The easy thing is to blame the media, which is nothing more than the PR wing of the Democrat Party.
However, I believe it runs deeper. An electorate which can vote for Barack Obama for two terms as President is one which has lost its way. The people have their bread and circuses.
“Why isn’t even barely registering, even taking into account the media and national party attempts to suppress it?”
The dumbing down of the masses has had its desired effect.
Srsly? You really have to ask or was that rhetorical. The lsm and clintoon campaign point out that o’keefe has already had to pay a fine for doctoring videos so he’s known to fake stuff therefore, anything he puts out is in question. As far as the lsm, 3 seconds coverage. Trump farts and you get about 25 minutes of coverage about the impact on glow-bull warming and how he’s a denier and should be run out of town on a rail.
They need to have some much smaller clips cut from the longer ones making points and going on YouTube
I noticed my niece during the debates caught Hillary giving the 4 minute timeline for nukes but said the two videos were too long.
Tells me they need to make shorter versions getting right to the meat.
A couple of O’Keefe’s earlier undercover operations didn’t turn out so well.
I share your outrage.
I realize now that freepers are very very different from average people.
We are natural News Hounds and we enjoy reading.
Most people are not like that, .most people probably do not even read a newspaper or watch a single news show in a week or maybe a month.
we are the ones who are unusual.
It was both asking and rhetorical. Did you watch the videos? What did YOU think of them, their content, and the context?
Do you think they are the work of a discredited crank? (THAT is a rhetorical question, by the way...:)
the under 30 are hearing about it by the Millions on social media. Take some solace in that. It may just swing the election. they are a self-righteous group and this and the cheating against Bernie, I think Hillary will do very badly.
It is communism, and half the country now support communism. It’s really that simple.
After 80 years of swallowing communism, little by little, we are now there.
Friends and relatives, behind close doors, would support beating people and killing people who don’t vote the right way, for Obama and Hillary. That is where we are.
I have also been told that these to key players, Robert Creamer and Scott Foval, are bit players, unknowns. My response to this is two-fold: First, these two men are not unknowns. They have been to the White House hundreds if times, Robert Creamer has even been photographed shopping with Michelle Obama. Secondly, in the past, people like Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James McCord, Eugenio Martínez, and Frank Sturgis were real nobodies, and that didn't stop a political tsunami.
Most Americans are stupid, apathetic, distracted or all of the above.
When you have corruption at the top level of govt along with massive censorship by the mediapukes well let’s ....just think NORTH KOREA...think RUSSIA...in 19 days we’ll know if we still have a republic, freedom or a dictatorship nation...I shutter to think...if we lose the mediapukes will be emboldened and NOTHING ON THE FACE OF THIS GLOBE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP THEM AND HITLERY.....with them in power consider our constitution toilet paper and W being the last republican prez !! GOD HELP US ....PLEASE HELP US!!
I looked to see what this was all about by looking in the MSM just to see what I’d find. Where it was reported they didn’t mention that anyone was fired or resigned and they said that O’Keefe is none for his ‘doctored’ videos.
