We were fortunate enough today to find a great presentation by Sharyl Attkisson who explains the subject of “Astroturf to Manipulate Opinion.

In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.

We strongly encourage everyone to watch this video as it sets the stage for a larger issue we have first hand experience with.

While Sharyl limits her discussion to a few pointed examples, we can factually share that an entire industry of social media manipulation exists whose entire purpose is to influence our opinion of any specific issue being highlighted. (more…)

When you won’t admit you have an enemy, and you won’t admit who the enemy is, it goes without saying – You don’t have a “Strategy”, let alone have a possibility of success:

The FCC Commissioner is alerting the public to President Obama’s internet regulation plan. The plan itself is concerning on many levels, however the decision by the White House to hide the regulatory plans from public review and sunlight is a key indicator of the deceit involved.
Hat Tip BigMamaTea – The White House is saying they have to implement the regulations for us to be able to see what’s in them:

WARNING – WARNING – WARNING

If you have followed our Benghazi research, and read the Benghazi Brief, it appears Gowdy has all the key players listed for interviews.    However, another key element for the interviews is going to be the sequencing.

Panetta must be interviewed first because it was he and Hillary who developed and executed “operation zero footprint” in Libya; Hillary should be questioned last.   This approach puts the primary constructionists, the “whys”, as bookends – the other interviewees fill in the details as to who, what, where and when.
Tom Donilon’s interview serves one primary function – he was the link between Hillary (state dept) and Obama (white house) – he was, and “is”, the last layer of plausible deniability protection from the president; Donilon was also Hillary’s designated contact to be liaison between what she was doing, and informing POTUS.
Tommy Vietor worked for  Tom Donilon, and it was Vietor and Donilon who were in the situation room on 9/11/12 conveying information to Denis McDonough, Obama’s Chief of Staff.  Hillary was in her DC office that afternoon when events erupted and told to stay away from the White House. 
Just like Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith, Hillary Clinton was out beyond the wire and Donilon/McDonough knew she was an immediate sunlight risk if she came to the White House.  Clinton was off the range, this was 100% her porcelain baby, when it crashed the White House told her she owned it.       
WASHINGTON DC – A special House committee looking into the deadly Benghazi, Libya, attacks in 2012 will interview a host of current and former high-ranking Obama administration officials as it speeds the pace of the investigation. (more…)

We often say ‘we accept the world as it is rather than as we wish it to be’. Because to do anything else only creates frustration from projecting our own perspectives, dreams, wishes and hopes into a situation that may not -heck, often doesn’t- evolve to provide a better outcome.
Today, Susan Rice delivered a speech outlining the Obama administration’s 2015 National Security Strategy. The full 35pg pdf. is available here and below is the introduction by President Obama himself.

Gee, ya think ?
The mere fact the White House is trotting out Susan Rice to share the non-security policy security policy, should tell you all you need to know.

Apparently Cotton has had enough with this GITMO as “recruiting propaganda” nonsense.
Fired up, and well done.

The CBC want nothing to do with hearing about terror threats from Iran…. “Jew Lives Don’t Matter” !!

WASHINGTON DC – Leading members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) are lining up to skip a coming speech by the prime minister of Israel.

Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the civil rights icon, and G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), the chairman of the CBC, said they won’t attend Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 3 speech before Congress to protest Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) decision to invite the prime minister without first consulting President Obama, according to The Associated Press.
“I think it’s an affront to the president and the State Department what the speaker did,” Lewis told the AP. (more…)

What the heck is President Obama trying to say here?
Good grief, did CAIR type this speech for his teleprompter? *Whiskey* – *Tango* – *Foxtrot*

…”Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place. Remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. And our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”…

Is he actually saying modern Christians are just like ISIS?

Despite the obvious don’t expect a tweet from Hillary Clinton admitting “the science is settled, the Earth is round, the sky is blue, and illegals are responsible for introducing expansive Measles infection”… Actually, expect the opposite – Carson is about to be savaged by the MSM for daring to point out the obvious.
(Via The Hill)  […]  Carson, a doctor considering a 2016 run for the White Hosue, said it’s a fact that people are entering the country illegally without being screened for measles.
While U.S. citizens who don’t get vaccinated are also a factor in this year’s rising number of measles cases, he said it’s “a combination of non-compliance [with vaccine requirements] and introduction into our society of people who perhaps haven’t been well screened.”
Carson said he wasn’t trying to speak in code when he was asked by CNN host Chris Cuomo if he was turning the measles debate into an immigration debate. (more…)
