The fun part of this whole "origins" discussion pretty much proves my earlier point.
The first and chief defense of the Obama Administration, and , in fact, the numerous criminal conspiracies which unfolded and continue to unfold as a result of that administration is this:
If you commit a crime, an unthinkable crime, so outrageous, so convoluted, so well covered up by corruption in key places, the ability to turn on whistle blowers and others who discover that crime and call them "conspiracy theorists" and "kooks" and a host of other derisions is the first and best line of defense--or just have them die in an unfortunate accident or a 'botched robbery' in which nothing of value was taken but their life.
Why, the very idea that some people in the DNC would conspire to have elected an unqualified person to the highest office in the land...
The very idea that the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA might all be compromised and fail to halt the scheme or warn Americans...
The very idea that State and Federal Officials might work to further the deception...
The very idea that that same group might move to Subvert the Constitution, destroy individual Rights, give aid and comfort to our enemies, (not to mention a planeload of cash), destabilize governments, to fundamentally change America just seems a little much for the average person to wrap their head around...all while holding high office in our own government...
The very idea that the major outlets of the media might work as a propaganda arm for this effort....
(Are you ready for the rubber room yet?)
There's just one small problem.
It happened.
We can nit-pick all we want about who did what (or didn't) to expose it all, from the gun running to Mexican Cartels, to shipping Iran pallets of cash, to the 'Arab Spring", and deny small bits of it, we can deny that anything pretty much which could stop American industrial development was done, and anything which might cripple entire economic sectors (how is your health insurance?), or that a SCOTUS justice rewrote legislation to turn a "penalty" we were all assured repeatedly by its authors was, indeed, a penalty and not a tax into the very thing we had been repeatedly assured it was not in order to uphold legislation which required Americans to purchase goods or services against their will, an act itself unthinkable--especially since the Court had to violate the Constitution to do so.
Aside from the very outrageous nature of these acts, there is the fact that there were so many of them, committed in such rapid-fire succession that those watchdogs of our way of life were overwhelmed by the volume and scope of them. Not just ordinary Democrat hijinks, but a full-on full-court press of multiple and ongoing offenses which reeks of malice and forethought and organizational planning. When those who ordinarily keep track of such things are overwhelmed by their scope, number, and intensity, the average schmuck doesn't have a chance. Their eyes glaze over, they know something is wrong, but they can't do anything....they're shell-shocked by that bombardment of outrage, they can't possibly keep up, and the media keep telling them everything is wonderful, even though they know it isn't. So, their eyes glaze over and they resort to the escapes of bread and circuses, provided they can afford either.
Lest we forget, "Community Organizing" was the claimed forte of the ringleader (at least the man standing in the center ring of that circus). From the Judiciary to the Congress, from the intelligence agencies to the media, to foreign assets having unprecedented access to classified material, some of which should not have ever been stored on computers with internet access, much less a private one unencumbered by security protocols, to the simple fact that the perpetrators have never been prosecuted for thousands of admitted offenses that would have (at the least) cost mere mortals their Government jobs, if they did not land in prison.
Where is the media? Either impotently shrieking from the corners or busy covering it all up.
We were told that everything from nasty yoga pants to breezeway upholstery prints were haute couture, while Americans who could barely afford their own phones provided them for millions, while people who worked hard were losing their insurance and being threatened with "taxes" for not buying it, or losing the jobs that had provided it, yet providing medical care for countless others who lived off their efforts, all while the Congress exempted itself from that very same law.
And that is just a few of the high points. We watched as the withdrawal date was announced from Iraq and IS formed, in the ruins of destabilized governments across North Africa and into the Middle East, at least one populated by cronies of people in Cabinet level office, and formidable evil was perpetrated across the region, to the shock and disbelief of America. Those paying attention saw the connection between the cabinet level official and the replacement President of one of those nations, a man later ousted by his own people.
And the whole time the "rich white man", a staple of the envious in identity politics, reeled from economic malaise, he was blamed for every ill which befell the country, and the media made it happen by materially altering the facts surrounding the incidents which became excuses to burn and loot areas of cities, and the Government let them, despite having studied how to quell such violence in the sixties. In a culture which had done more to do away with racism, it was revived, like Frankenstein's monster, and given a new and distorted lease on life which persists to this day, aided by a man who sat at the knee of another who preached "God D@mn America!" from the pulpit.
No, friends and neighbors, I would put little past that administration. No matter how outrageous it sounds, no matter how "crazy", the very fruits of their labors require an investigation of even the most outrageous and insane sounding possible plots, with an eye to finding out that they just might be true, because so many of them are.
