For those who aren’t familiar with the Obama administration I’ll provide a bit of the background so that you will understand how we got here. So let’s get started.
Transparency:
This is a place where, after three years on the back burner I really must do a bit of editing. As the great Robert Plant has said: “You know sometimes words have two meanings.”
The transparency he spoke of once not aimed at you and I. Not the common folk. It was aimed at governments and world leaders. That’s what we elect them to do. They speak for our interests on the world stage.
But it’s nice to imagine he cares.
Transparency really meant that the things he would do would be right there for the world to see and we did. Currently there has been discussion of changing over to a digital currency. Just to be clear it has nothing to do with germy money but it does have to do with laundering money and terrorism. President Trump has stated that he’s “not a big fan of unregulated crypto currencies like Bitcoin” and also refers to terrorism and money laundering. I think that, for government at least, the real revolution will be in tax collection. But will get to that later.
The real point is that Obama’s act of transparency involved blatantly delivering $4 million in gold and U.S. dollars by way of landing it in a plane in the world’s largest sponsor of state terrorism and our longtime adversary the Islamic State of Iran.
And we thought he was talking about being an honest guy with those who elected him.
Maybe he was, but that’s another conversation.
In any case it doesn’t look that way if you think it was us that got him into office. Here’s a few examples of their tactics and antics.
Nancy Pelosi says of the Affordable Care Act “We have to pass it first to see what’s inside away from the fog of controversy.”
Fact: If we can’t see inside it isn’t transparent. It’s a trick.
IRS targets conservative groups during the 2012 election.
IRS Commissioner Lois Lerner tells Congress her hard drive crashed
and the requested Emails are gone
IRS Commissioner Lois Lerner had a second personal email account that she used to conduct IRS business. The account was set up under the name "Toby Miles."
IRS Deputy Inspector General Timothy P. Camus said that 424 back-up tapes had likely contained Lerner’s Emails.
Commissioner Koskinen informed Congress that the backup tapes containing over 30,000 emails from Lois Lerner had been recycled.
Hillary R. Clinton defies Congress for 11 hours in Benghazi hearings refusing to answer questions and yells back at them “What difference at this point does it really matter?”
Hillary R. Clinton directs the destruction of over 30,000 US Government Emails and several unsecured electronic devices. Reports are that she used as many as 13 separate devices, possibly bought on EBay, and later destroyed them with hammers.
Hillary R. Clinton never even had a State.Gov email account.
Bryan Pagliano, IT director for Clinton's 2008 campaign is hired to manage her Email server in her home.
And……The IRS gives him immunity.
FBI interviews Hillary R. Clinton in the presence of her Counselor and Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills.
And…..The FBI gives Cheryl Mills Immunity.
You remember Cheryl Mills right? White House Counsel in the 1999 Bill Clinton Impeachment trial.
The 5 most likely aware, the 5 most likely guilty, are given immunity by the FBI
FBI Director James B. Comey states Hillary R. Clinton was guilty of negligence
FBI Director James B. Comey states that he was not part of the investigation
Attorney General Loretta Lynch meets with former President Bill Clinton privately on her private plane at Phoenix International just before the findings are released. This a former President of the United States, the husband of Hillary Clinton whom is under investigation. This is the same President whom when under investigation lied to Congress and the citizens of our country and was impeached for it and had his law license revoked.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch states publicly that the 30 minute meeting was social and the investigation was never discussed. Furthermore she stated that she expected to accept the recommendations of career experts in the DOJ.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch declines to prosecute Hillary Clinton and admits during hearings that she deferred to the judgement of “career prosecutors” and had not even reviewed the case.
Isn’t it her job as Attorney General to review cases especially those at this level?
DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz Emails with DNC staff show bias against Bernie Sanders who showed transparency by admitting on national TV that he isn’t a Democrat but an Independent Socialist. Had he been the democratic nominee I would be willing to bet the election turn out would have been much larger. He had the right message for the under 35 year old voter and not nearly the amount of baggage of the Clinton's. But Hillary was apparently pre-ordained.
I find it a bit amusing that Bernie Sanders really hasn’t noticed how different theses ideologies are and that being independent is not consistent with socialism? Apparently his supporters haven’t either. If you demand or are dependent on free food, free healthcare, and free college you are exactly the opposite of independent. Someone else is paying to support your needs and you will be required to follow their rules and maybe give up some freedoms. Bernie Sanders just really believes that that our whole system is wrong and that he’s the guy that ought to be pulling the levers of power in Washington D.C.
Fantasy however is not a “Future to believe in”
Also as the Commander and Chief of the military Obama instructed the Pentagon to take back enlistment bonuses given to former military personnel. Audits revealed widespread over payments by California Guard officials under pressure to meet enlistment targets.
Thousands of California Army National Guard soldiers volunteered to protect our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan and received reenlistment bonuses only to be sued 10 years later by the government they swore to protect. It's time the people start holding their officials accountable. Remember, each party entered into a contract voluntarily. The pentagon should direct their aim at those responsible. Instead, they turn those who have protected us into victims of government oppression. Ironically, this is what we strive to eliminate throughout the world.
