SUPPRESSION OF THE TRUTH
As you know, this blog is about freedom of speech...especially freedom of speech with regard to matters of faith. The last two months have been filled with news items about hinderances to free speech. I can't remember a period of time when speech has been so restricted as the past few months.
It is now clear that during a terrorist attack in Libya on 9/11/12, four Americans were killed unnecessarily due to the failures of the Obama Administration. Here are the facts as they have leaked out from under the blanket thrown over the news by the friends of the President in the media. There had been calls for additional security prior to 9/11 that were rejected by the powers that be in the State Dept.. Warnings abounded that there would be trouble on 9/11. But, security was actually lowered. When reports came in to Washington that the attack was under way, there was no response by the administration to rescue the Americans. Instead, the ambassador was captured, tortured, sodomized, and killed along with three others. The administration put out a fabricated report that the attack was spontaneous and due to a anti-muslim video when they knew that it was a well planned terrorist attack that had nothing to do with a video. But, the facts contradicted the President's campaign rhetoric that the war on terrorism had been won. Hence, the myth was quickly spread for weeks by the compliant media. The facts were muzzled by almost all the media so as not to harm the President's campaign.
When I heard the leaks coming out of other than main line media about the story, I said to a friend that, if this goes mainline, the President is done. But, the facts did not get out and the public was almost completely in the dark and the President and his administration suffered almost no negative press for their failures. The three main questions remain unanswered:
1. Who failed to provide the necessary security? Why?
2. Who failed to provide the necessary forces for a rescue? Why?
3. Who made up the myth about the video? Why?
The second blow to free speech was the admission by the IRS that they crippled and suppressed organizations that were not friendly to the President and his policies. In other words, the IRS used their power to deny funds and recognition to organizations that favored the President's opponent. It was part of the President's campaign strategy.
People keep asking who started the suppression. There is no question that those who benefitted from the activity were the source. Freedom of speech was denied to a whole segment of voters by the illegal activity of the IRS.
It's more clear than ever how critical freedom of speech is to our society. The mainline media and an aggressive federal agency denied us free speech and a crucial Presidential election was made into a farce. There is now real doubt as to who really won the election.
Daily revelations are telling us that just about every agency of our federal government is involved in wasteful spending, corruption, and/or total incompetence. Washington is in chaos. We have become a joke in international relations. Trust in federal bureaucrats is at an all time low. A leader has been appointed to head the NSA for strictly political reasons. They don't have anything on their resume to qualify them for the critical position. The new ambassador to the UN was appointed as a stick in the eye to Israel.
I know this blog contains my frustrations. But, it is frustrating to see our government collapsing and our freedoms crushed. This is no time to be silent. Keep the speech freely flowing.
