PRESIDENT OBAMA,
WITH HIS FALSE RHETORIC THAT 'TERRORISM IS DEAD', LULLED MOST OF THE AMERICAN
CITIZENS INTO THEIR FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT ALL IS WELL AND THEY CAN JUST
GO ON WITH THEIR LIVES AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY...IN THE
WORLD...WITH THE PEOPLE THAT HATE AMERICANS AND WANT TO KILL US.
In
his State of the Union address to the American people earlier this year, Barack
Obama declared that he was "confident" of achieving "our
objective of defeating the core of al-Qaeda".
Although
he acknowledged the need to pursue the "remnants" of the terrorist
group and its affiliates, the overall message was clear – al-Qaeda was badly
degraded, the tides of war were receding and the US was winning this fight that was
no longer even officially a war.
The
Boston bombings
would appear to present a fundamental challenge to that assessment and once
again bring the nagging uncertainty of terrorism back on to the American main
street.
They
(the Boston Marathon
bombings) bring home the complexity of
the global Islamist threat and the fact that it cannot be confined to wars in
distant lands, or fought at arm's length using drones, as the Obama
administration has quietly yet insistently led America to believe.
Mr Obama and his
intelligence community know the threat from al-Qaeda affiliates, but have
chosen to downplay it to the US
public.
My question is WHY is Obama refusing to
give credence to the threat these terrorists pose?
Jan. 14, 2013: President
Obama meets in the Oval Office with Saudi minister of interior.
Jan. 16: Homeland
Security Director Janet Napolitano signs "arrangement" with Saudi
minister bestowing "trusted traveler" status on Saudi student
visitors, shortcutting normal security screening procedures.
April 15: Saudi
college student Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi is seen near the Boston marathon finish line with two other
Saudis. He's tackled after fleeing the scene of one of the bombings.
Authorities question him.
April 15: FBI
agents search Alharbi's apartment, leave with bags of evidence. He's described
as a "person of interest" in attacks.
April 16: Secretary
of State John Kerry secretly meets with the Saudi foreign minister, locking out
reporters who initially were told the meeting would be open.
April 16: Saudi
ambassador phones several papers and insists neither Alharbi nor any Saudi nationals
are involved in the bombings. Saudi officials visit the well-connected Alharbi
at a Boston
hospital.
April 17: Officials
clear Alharbi, who's reportedly related to al-Qaida Gitmo detainees, as a
person of interest.
April 17: FBI
ID from photos and videos two Mideast-looking men with bags scouting scene of
bombings and circulate them among law enforcement. AP, CNN and even Boston Globe report one
arrest has been made. CNN describes suspect as "dark-skinned male."
Media swarm Boston
courthouse for arraignment.
April 17: Obama
has sudden unscheduled meeting with the Saudi foreign minister at White House.
April 17: Justice
Dept. scolds CNN for arrest report. FBI cancels press conference. Courthouse
bomb scare.
April 17: Terror
expert Steve Emerson reports ICE has been ordered to "deport" Alharbi
for "national security" reasons, out of reach of FBI questioning.
April 18: Napolitano
denies Alharbi will be deported.
Today the U.K. Mirror reports that the
FBI is seeking a “12-strong terrorist
sleeper cell linked to (Boston Marathon bombers) brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev” saying “police believe the pair were specially
trained to carry out the devastating attack”
A terrorist cell?? Here, in the United States? But didn't Obama say he had all that under control???
Oh, in case you haven’t connected the
dots yet, you will notice that all of the publications I have noted are not mainstream,
and two of them are from England.
The government-controlled-media-complex is complacently going along with Obama
and his deception of the American citizens.
So what about these nay-sayers that
terrorism is not an active threat to us?
The New York Times has your answer. No
surprise there.
A New York Times feature story on the suspected Boston terrorists showed
Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a sympathetic light, with the headline “Far
From War-Torn Homeland, Trying To Fit In” and a black-and-white picture of one
of the men.
Trying
to ‘FIT IN’???
Trying to “fit in” by
setting off bombs at a race finish line, killing and maiming innocents??
Trying to “fit in” by
walking down the street firing guns at police, throwing bombs at them,
including another pressure cooker bomb??
For all of you that were
lulled into complacence by the current so-called president’s denial of the
terrorism threat, it is time for you to open your eyes and pay attention to
what is going on around you.
Of course our daily lives
aren’t going to be interrupted and impacted like events such as these. But the
potential is there. Always.
It is time to stop
allowing the liars and deceivers to continue their rhetoric. It is definitely
time to stand up and say ‘Enough!’ The current
administration and all the other politicians are perfectly fine with ignoring
the situations that are broiling all over the world. All of them have blood on their hands.
The attack on the
American Embassy in Benghazi was essentially
ignored and pushed under the carpet, and those in Washington DC
that don’t agree with what is being done are equally guilty for allowing it to
happen. Four Americans were murdered!
There is a pattern to
what is happening today. Terrorism has not gone away. They are regrouping and
probably rejoicing in the fact that today’s Americans have short attention
spans and would rather watch the latest reality show than react to and demand a
response to the events that this administration refuses to address.
Effective antiterrorist action has also been thwarted by the
claim that—as the quip goes—"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom
fighter." That's a catchy phrase, but also misleading. Freedom fighters do
not need to terrorize a population into submission. Freedom fighters target the
military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial
regimes in power. Freedom fighters struggle to liberate their citizens from
oppression and to establish a form of government that reflects the will of the
people. Now, this is not to say that those who are fighting for freedom are
perfect or that we should ignore problems arising from passion and conflict.
Nevertheless, one has to be blind, ignorant, or simply unwilling to see the truth
if he or she is unable to distinguish between those I just described and
terrorists. Terrorists intentionally kill or maim unarmed civilians, often
women and children, often third parties who are not in any way part of a
dictatorial regime. Terrorists are always the enemies of democracy…
His
words still speak to today’s conflict of ideologies here. We cannot apply our
ideology to people that are born and raised to hate and kill us. The trainers
of these terrorists have embedded within their hearts and minds the hatred that
drives them to take these actions. But ignoring it, or sympathizing with it
will only make them more confident when they attack again.
War is not something we
wish for. None of us do. But when war is being waged against us, wishing for
happier days or more peaceful times is not going to make it go away. That
approach will only strengthen their resolve that we are weak. And weak we will
be, easy targets.
