The White House is neck-deep in “phony” scandals according to Barack Hussein Obama.
Virtually all of them have to do with the government trying to “control” people and to take more “power” for itself.
Look at the growing list of just the “recent” scandals:
President Obama deciding to “ignore” laws he does not like, choosing not to “deport” illegal immigrants who would have been allowed to stay in the country “if” Congress had passed the “Dream Act.”
The FBI “admitting” it uses surveillance “drones” over U.S. soil.
The powerful Internal Revenue Service “targeting” the president’s enemies, mostly conservative and pro-Israel groups, to “suppress” their political involvement before the election.
The Justice Department secretly “seizing” the records of more than 20 Associated Press phone lines in what was called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion”—while the attorney general “claimed” to know nothing about it.
The Justice Department “illegally” monitoring the “phone lines and e-mails” of reporters.
The National Security Agency conducting “illegal, covert surveillance” programs in violation of the Fourth Amendment, keeping “phone and Internet records” of millions of Americans with the full cooperation of “nine” major Internet companies.
The revelations of these “hidden agendas” just keep coming.
The “Benghazi” issue wraps three scandals in one: “the administration’s failure to protect its people there; the cover-up, lies and change in talking points; and the White House’s refusal to reveal what the president did on the night of the attack.”
If you aren’t paying “attention” to this trend, you should be. Many people are trying to “pretend” like there is no real problem, and that those who are “concerned” are overreacting.
But this should “deeply” trouble every American! There is an unparalleled spirit of “lawlessness” behind all of these scandals!
And it is leading to an outcome “far worse” than most people believe.
Franklin Graham, the son of the famous preacher Billy Graham, said he believes two of his ministries were “targeted” by the IRS.
He believes a newspaper ad they ran supporting an amendment against “same-sex marriage” triggered an audit jeopardizing their “tax-exempt” status.
The process took more than “twice” as long as usual, and it wasn’t “finished” until just after President Obama was reelected. Many other conservative groups have told similar stories.
This indicates an “unprecedented” amount of political meddling! It seems this administration is “blatantly” manipulating the political process, and the nation is “too weak” to do anything about it!
The IRS has a “lot” of clout. And an administration that pays no “attention” to the Constitution when it doesn’t “match” its own agenda has “a lot” of power!
In June, we learned that the National Security Agency (NSA) has a “secret” data warehouse in Utah, a “billion-dollar epicenter” where it can store “massive” amounts of information. And the phone records, e-mails and other digital communications the government has been tracking include “yours.”
Microsoft, Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, YouTube, AOL, Skype and Apple have handed over “all kinds” of information about you, and claimed that they were “forced” to do so.
The Associated Press reported that this revelation “illustrates how aggressively personal information is being congregated and analyzed. ”
However, the NSA says you “don’t have to worry.” An agency spokesman said that “it’s operations will be lawfully conducted in accordance with U.S. laws and policies.”
Does that “reassure” you? Has this administration done “anything” to suggest that it is “careful” to follow the law?
When a ceremony was held in May to celebrate completion of the Utah data center’s exterior, it was “closed to the public—an exclusive, invitation-only gathering that barred even the mayor of Bluffdale,” AP reported.
“The NSA also rejected a request by city officials to take a group of visiting Utah mayors on a bus tour of the outside of the facility. The agency said all tours—even of the exterior—are prohibited.”
Why all the secrecy?
Washington claims it needs all this information for America’s “war against terrorism.” It is expanding the NSA’s powers exponentially using the “war on terrorism” as the rationale.
Yet at the same time, the president gave a speech in May telling us that “there is no war on terrorism. This war, like all wars, must end,” he said.
America shouldn’t be on “a perpetual wartime footing.” He claimed that the war is “winding” down, thanks to several “victories” by his administration.
If this is all true, “what does the government need that Utah facility for?“
Despite all the data the government is “collecting,” it did not stop the “Boston Marathon” bombers. The “underwear bomber” wasn’t stopped by the surveillance program “prism,” but by a tip from the would-be bomber’s parents.
How many “terrorists” is this program catching? Some analysts say “jihadists” tend to use online resources that popular search engines don’t even see. That means these “surveillance tools” are basically only good for gathering data on “law-keeping” citizens.
William Binney, a 32-year veteran of the NSA, was asked where the surveillance data was heading. He said: “It’s really a turn-key situation, where it can be turned quickly and become a totalitarian state pretty quickly. The capacity to do that is being set up.”
That is a “chilling” statement. It gets to the “heart” of the issue! Look at the potential “power” the government already has.
Fox News’s Bob Beckel, a Democrat, said the NSA data mining “is strikingly close to authoritarian rule that has no place in this country and no place certainly under our Constitution.”
Herbert Meyer served as an “intelligence” specialist in the Reagan administration, as “special” assistant to the CIA director and “vice chairman” on the National Intelligence Council.
This man has compared the “actions” of this administration to what the “Nazis” did under Adolf Hitler.
He didn’t say these “officials” are like the Nazis, but that they are going about their plan “the same way” the Nazis did.
Even the Germans have “severely” criticized President Obama for this NSA program! Some critics say he’s “acting” like the Gestapo.
The NSA is amassing “enormous power.” If it ignores the “laws” of the land, it can get practically “anything” it wants.
Imagine what a “tyrannical” government could do with all that information.
President Obama has repeatedly said how “transparent” his administration would be—yet “virtually” everything he has done has been in the dark.
Many journalists have “complained” that his is the most “opaque” administration in history.
In March, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was called before Congress and asked point blank, “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” Clapper replied, “No sir … not wittingly.”
That was a “lie,” and he knew it.
Attorney General Eric Holder has also “lied” to Congress about the “Fast and Furious” scandal, and about what his department did to reporter James Rosen.
Susan Rice “lied” five times on Sunday talk shows about Benghazi and been “promoted” since then.
As these scandals “pile” higher and higher, nobody can get administration officials to tell them “anything!”
They have “lied and lied and lied”—and have been “caught” in their lies!
This administration covers itself in a “cloak of deceit.”
Anyone who says there isn’t a “real” problem here needs to “open” his eyes!
We must see reality: “Something deadly dangerous has seized the country—far more than what people realize.”
