“You should be afraid,” says a twenty-four-year veteran officer of the U.S. State Department who is facing job termination for writing a book about what really went on in the Iraq war years. He has been stripped of his security clearance and diplomatic credentials. Blogging on TomDispach.com , Peter Van Buren is warning that President Barack Obama is “declaring himself above the law; he decides himself who lives or dies by death by drones.” This state department veteran writing in the liberal leaning Mother Jones Journals, is revealing yet another non-reported story about the Obama Administration.
An award-winning documentary producer James Spione goes on to point to Americans that “whistleblowing in the age of Obama is very troubling because the law is being selectively applied!” Continuing in the Mother Jones article are troubling incidents of being harassed on the job, serious charges of retaliation, even threats to one’s life.
Thomas Drake, a whistleblower who felt Obama’s sting, said, “This makes a mockery of the entire classification system where political gain is now incentive for leading and whistleblowing is incentive for prosecution.” Reporter Van Buren calls out selective leaking such as the Stuxnet Worm being dispatched to throw a monkey wrench into Iran’s nuclear fuel centrifuges allegedly being done at the President’s own directive! “Also drone attacks and kill list leaks were attributed directly to WH sources.” And who can forget the bold manipulation of facts surrounding the bin Laden raid appearing at very opportune political timing for Obama? Never mind that telling of classified and sensitive details very well could have been a major factor in the murders of nearly twenty SEALS and other American soldiers a short time later.
Now another glaring example of whistleblowers being attacked comes from the environmental green propaganda machine being unleashed to do Obama’s far Left attack on America, her citizens, and her once free land. “Eight government scientists were recently fired or reassigned after voicing concerns to their superiors about faulty environmental science used for policy decisions.”
The Townhall article questions whether or not some U.S. bureaucracies are “manipulating science to advance political agenda?” Here think global warming and carbon tax schemes which the new Obama regime tried along with Al Gore to foist on Americans soon after taking office the first time. Germany’s highly skilled propaganda czar Joseph Goebbels is quoted as stating: “Suppress the truth if it contradicts objectives of propaganda. If truth is important for the State to stop dissent, the truth is the state’s greatest enemy.” Observing what our newly re-elected President does to whistleblowers and truth tellers who rub him the wrong way will give us clues about how he will be treating each American citizen in the months and years to come.

With apologies to Forest Gump … “Tyrants are as tyrants do.”
Feinstein, Schumer, Obama, Holder, Bloomberg, Cuomo, and their whole gang are tyrant wannabes. To them, anyone who does, or might, oppose their control over every aspect of our lives, is “a criminal” because they said so.
To quote a few of their heroes, with explanatory comments in ( ):
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” – Mao
(They revere Mao and the way he ruthlessly grabbed power in China. The fact that he murdered about 100 million Chinese to do it is, to them, a “feature,” not a “bug.”)
“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves. … The only real power comes out of a long rifle. … Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. … We don’t let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns? … The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.” — Joseph Stalin
“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty.” — Adolf Hitler
(These psychopathic sociopaths in our government – and THEY ARE PRECISELY THAT, never make the mistake of doubting it – believe that they are anointed to be our rulers and that we are the equivalent of Hitler’s “subject races.”)
THOSE are the reasons why, and the sort of people who want to, disarm us.
These same people through DHS and other alphabet agencies have recently purchased over 1.8 BILLION rounds of ammo – enough to shoot every man, woman, and child in the country 5 times or more – ammo that’s illegal for military use under international law. Considering that you and I and all of the other US taxpayers are paying for all of this ammo, it’s frighteningly reminiscent of the story of political prisoners’ families being forced to pay for the bullets used to execute them … isn’t it?
If we allow these leftist control freaks to ignore and ultimately gut the 2nd Amendment, history will inevitably repeat itself. These “gun control” proposals have NOTHING to do with preventing crime, but EVERYTHING to do with CONTROL.
Hitler disarmed the Jews and others, then murdered about 15 million.
Stalin disarmed the Russians, them murdered about 40 million.
Mao disarmed the Chinese peasants, then murdered nearly 100 million.
The Turks disarmed the Armenians, then murdered 1.5-2 million.
Pol Pot disarmed the Cambodians and murdered millions.
Rwanda disarmed its ethnic groups, then murdered millions.
The list goes on … about 262 MILLION people murdered BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENTS in the 20th century – AFTER they allowed those governments disarmed them. See: http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM
They ALL thought “It can’t happen here” – until they were disarmed and it started, then it was too late. Don’t make the same mistake. Don’t EVER let your government disarm you.
The Founders knew that government, if not constrained at every step, will continue to accumulate power and control until it becomes tyranny. That’s why they feared standing armies and insisted that the “right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Excellent post Carl!
@ carlwk3c , where did I read your post again , hmm ??????
Complete, accurate and informative ! Thank you !
This is to be expested. We aint seen nuttin yet!!
Bobmann, I think you have something there. AND I don’t think we will ever see another President because I believe that the stage is being set for no term limits for Presidents and if that dosen’t do it, Obammy will simply create a reason to declare martial law so he can stay in power.
Obama has the money and power backing him so all he has to do is what he is told. I believe he will remain in charge until his big money string pulling puppet masters are finished with him then he will somehow be eliminated. Due to voter fraud placing Obama in office 2 times I am sure the Democrats will take control of Congress after the 2014 elections. Then Obama will appoint his Supreme Court Justices and that will be the last nail in America’s coffin. I do not think anything or anyone can stop the Obama machine. I also believe the only reason he is sending planes and tanks to the Middle East is to help wipe Israel off the map. The US will be next.
Remember when he said: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
I believe the national security force he is talking about will be the Muslim Brotherhood, the people in the terrorist training camps, here in the US, the illegals who have been given amnesty and you can be sure he will give amnesty to anyone who comes here to join his army, along with about 100,000 Bolsheviks, Obama will make promises to give them more incentive. I belive he might even tell Mexicans “Come here and join my army and help crush the US he will you your land back we stole (bought).” The New Black Panthers will be directing traffic, handing out pamphlets as to where to go to get sworn into his army, get their battle gear and taken to a modern compound. There will be blood flowing in the streets of America in time!!!
@ bobmann101 , you say that you think that nobody can stop King Hussein . I think your wrong , Bob . What King Hussein is trying to disarm the citizenship , to become a dictator . But , there are a lot of people in this country , won’t stand by idle while he tries what he wants . A lot of people won’t hand over their firearms . And , a lot of people won’t hand over this country to him . This country got rid of ” royalty ” over 200 years ago . You think the our military won’t stand down if that happened ? I don’t think so . And , I’m one of those people who won’t hand over my firearms to a person who wants to become King of America .
That is why mentioned his national security force and why I said there will be blood in the streets.
History shows that tyrants always employ thugs, barbarians, and psychopaths. They are more willing and easily persuaded to commit the tyrant’s atrocities than normal people.
You got that right!
You might want to put your Obama quote in context. He was explaining that our national security does not rely solely in our military, but in a force of volunteers that work to make our country better and stronger. He wanted to expand our diplomatic corp to better represent the United States in other countries. He spoke of increasing the size of the Peace Corp so Americans could help others around the world. He wants to expand Americorp so young people can get practical training and be of service. Finally he spoke of increasing the Freedom Corp as an online resource to connect volunteers to opportunities to serve. His national civilian security force was an army of volunteers, not an armed gang of thugs devoted to a party or leader.
It is incredible how divorced from reality the anti- Obama crew is. Trust me you should be happy Obama supports the status quo If the progressives get control then you would see some real changes.
Obama quote context:
Obama, July 2, Colorado Springs, CO: [As] president I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots [from 75,000] and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals, like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their effort connected to a common purpose.
People of all ages, stations and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem – they are the answer. So we are going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We’ll call on Americans to join an energy corps, to conduct renewable energy and environmental clean-up projects in their neighborhoods all across the country.
We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And we’re going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set.
We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We need to use technology to connect people to service. We’ll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer. You’ll be able to search by category, time commitment and skill sets. You’ll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities.
This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up.
If you want to believe that is your choice. I have learned not to believe 965 of what he says. Let me ask you this What has Obama done for you?
Hmmmm might want to look here for a start http://www.oregon.gov/recovery/Pages/StimulusReporting/ARRA_Projects.aspx all sorts of things being done here. Oregon Unemployment went from 11.6% when Bush got through trying to bankrupt America to 8.4 % today. My 401k is worth double what it was at the end of Q1 2009. These are real things not accusations and fantasies about the “Communist/Socialist Nigerian Muslim Hater of America” it is so funny to hear Obama described in those terms. He is nowhere near the progressive most Democrats want. Obama is hogtied by his race so many people are in fear of the “black” President he has to govern from the middle. Wait till 2016 when we put a true progressive in the White House backed with majorities in both houses. The GOP/TeaParty is the party of NO. No ideas, No actions, No progress. Keep their 1% lords and masters in control. It has become quite clear that the GOP will be content to fiddle while DC burns. The people will only stomach so much crazy.
Have another glass of koolaid … We’re not buying.
I agree with Philip. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike Obama. No need to take things out of context, all in the name of demonizing.
I agree with Carl. Have another glass of koolaid … We’re not buying.
I agree with you bobmann he is planing on wiping Israel out by sending weapons and planes to Egypt but the Benghazi murders was all to do with Stevens making plans with Turkey to smuggle chemical weapons out of Iran that was moved their out of Iraq, so we couldn’t find them they are short range missiles they can get them down in Syria far enough to reach anywhere in Israel. They didn’t send help to Benghazi because they didn’t want no survivors that knew what was being planed including Stevens and Hillary & Rice and the general all knew what went down and their life was threatened in Hillary case it was Chelsie’s life that was being threatened
I don’t see him finishing this term… like everyone is saying.. history repeats itself. We’ll see.. time will tell.
This OGuy is leaving a long string of enemies in his path to KingShip,,, he better manage it.. cuz the Serfs shall rise up an smite this Obanation down,,,, The Gates of Hell are Open Wide.. Inviting me to step inside,,,,
Remember ,,, Freedom begins with Death,, been there,, an I remember it Well…
Bring it on you prick. I’m not afraid of you or to die for my country.
Obummer has underestimated the United People of America.
I hope all those who voted for him… feels the STING of his wickedness. Only then will they wake up to the powers bestowed upon this black hearted black man.
Those that voted for him and support him are all enemies as far as I’m concerned this world would be better off with out them and we wouldn’t have to face them again
The devil is not in the details here. This is the devil. Hint to those that may be in the opposition. Turn off your cell phone as you travel .
If you think your stocks are great now. They are whisling past the graveyard. All smart money is getting out of the market. We have an unsustainable economy.
A marine friend of mine who was deployed twice to Iraq recently sent me a text saying Obama is asking military leaders if they would fire on U.S. citizens. I was horrified when I got this text! But honestly not surprised. This marine said this isn’t the first time this was asked. The Marines were asked in 1995. It’s called the Litmus Test of Leadership. However (my marine friend said), Obama is getting rid of people that won’t play ball. He told me about a week ago (I got the text on 1/29) Obama fired a Marine Corp General who was on the Joint Chiefs, fired him by letter! (My friend referred to Obama as a coward for not doing it face-to-face.) This General was my marine friend’s commander during Fallujah. He said they would have gone to hell and back for him! He said politicians like Obama don’t like warriors of his caliber. The U.S citizens need to be concerned and prepared!
