Sinister Despotism

Watergate, 1972. The affair began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate complex on June 17, 1972. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) connected cash found on the burglars to a slush fund used by the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, the official organization of Nixon's campaign. In July 1973, as evidence mounted against the president's staff, including testimony provided by former staff members in an investigation conducted by the Senate Watergate Committee, it was revealed that President Nixon had a tape-recording system in his offices and he had recorded many conversations. Recordings from these tapes implicated the president, revealing he had attempted to cover up the questionable (and illegal) goings-on that had taken place after the break-in. After a protracted series of bitter court battles, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the president had to hand over the tapes to government investigators; he ultimately complied.

Nixon was trying to win an election and he lied about having done or been a part of any of this.

So now we are in 2013. That sort of thing doesn't happen anymore now does it?  Read the conversation between Senator Mark Kirk and our Attorney General, Eric Holder only four days ago.

"Mr. Attorney General, I want to take you to the Verizon scandal and -- which I understand takes us to possibly monitoring up to 120 million calls. You know, when government bureaucrats are sloppy, they're usually really sloppy. Want to just ask, could you assure to us that no phone inside the Capitol were monitored of members of Congress that would give a future executive branch, if they started pulling this kind of thing off, would give them unique leverage over the legislature?

Holder replied, "With all due respect, Senator, I don't think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss that issue. I'd be more than glad to come back in a -- in an appropriate setting to discuss the issues that you have raised," noting they were speaking in public.
Kirk, a Naval intelligence officer, was not satisfied with Holder's answer.

Said Kirk, "I would interrupt you and say the correct answer would be say no, we stayed within our lane, and I'm assuring you we did not spy on members of Congress." (Suntimes.com)

The top leadership in this administration must go. Feinstein, Holder, Obama and Biden -- they are defending all of their actions.  Eric Holder has more arrows in him than Custer did but HE is still alive (metaphorically speaking).  When is enough ENOUGH?  The Obama administration is so outrageously overreaching its authority that it is downright frightening…terrifying and infuriating.  Sure the Patriot Act followed 9/11 under the watch of George W. Bush.  It SEEMED appropriate then -- hindsight is 20/20.  We now have over a decade of hindsight.  In Obama's re-election speech he said that Al Qaida was on the run and dwindling.  Were that true why the massive expansion of the Patriot Act? Why so many things?  Hopefully you all knew when he was pandering for your vote that Al Qaida and all its spin offs were alive and well…  So that was a lie, one of so many. 

This is sinister and I am now willing to go into the dark thoughts and wonder what the big picture is.  They have taken away your privacy -- you might as well be micro chipped.  They want to take away our/your guns.  They control all your water with the EPA clean water act -- it ain't just about clean water folks, read the fine print and the EPA answers to NO ONE.  And they now control your food sources -- Monsanto owns you and what you eat.  Your meat is being process by Somalis and the Chinese's…it really and truly is. There are nations out there filled with people who don't like you or me.  Two of which are Somalia and China? You though the guy licking your taco shells at Taco Bell was bad?! I am NOT at ALL a conspiracy person -- but this is sick and treacherous…  It is very simple and very bad. It is an equation that adds up to really terrible outcomes.

Today folks your liberty is gone…GONE.  You have no privacy you have few rights against this sort of autocratic leadership.  How is it that he is able to still be the President of the formerly freest nation on the planet?  Was the Kool-Aid that good?  Why aren't you who voted for him outraged?  You should be more angry than I am.  He didn't fool me.  Don't you feel duped?  Do you feel a little regret? A lot?  You should feel partly responsible. Do you?  This is a dangerous man you handed the reins to.  He is dangerous, calculated and sinister.
