MAINSTREAM MEDIA: TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 10:57 PM PST

Before anyone believes the mainstream media and their agenda to promote and protect progressive socialist democrats, perhaps they should be held accountable for not being more forthcoming on the 9/11 anniversary attack on Benghazi and why the President and his cadre of progressive socialist democrats put forth a demonstrably false narrative about a protest in response to a video when they knew the truth from real-time sources communicating with the White House Situation room.

The most fundamental questions relating to Benghazi remain hidden behind a comprehensive White House cover-up of the on-ground happenings.

Where was the President of the United States during a terrorist attack on an American diplomatic facility?
Did Valerie Jarrett, with no diplomatic, military, or foreign relations experience, substitute her judgement for that of the President of the United States?
Who issued the commands for military assets to “stand down” and not come to the aid of stricken Americans?
Why were wounded members of the government hidden from the United States Congress and asked to sign non-disclosure agreements?

Listen to Congressman Trey Gowdy as he asks other questions …

Bottom line …

Why would the media and/or any American citizen accept Hillary Clinton as the 2016 Presidential Candidate when she has been proven to be a corrupt liar pushing a socialist agenda? Perhaps having a vagina is as important as being black in the political calculus of the progressive socialist democrats.

Why would anyone listen to the mainstream media when they have demonstrably failed the American people as those who speak truth to power?

We need to throw the progressive socialist democrats out of office as they no longer represent America and Americans and appear incapable of protecting Americans, both in foreign and domestic public policies.

OBAMA BOWS AND SHAKES HAND OF DICTATOR--MURDERER--THUG RAUL CASTRO

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 05:44 PM PST

Is the White House spinning the story of President Obama’s handshake with Raul Castro?

Considering that much of President Obama’s Hollywood fundraising base openly regards murderous thugs like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara as socialist heroes and great leaders, it should come as no surprise that President Obama and his cadre of progressive socialist democrats would have the same mindset and worldview. With the recent actions of President Obama to disrespect our friends and “dialogue” with our enemies, one can easily believe that it was the President’s desire to seek some form of normalized relations with Cuba. First, to validate his empty Nobel Prize that was awarded without any form of achievement whatsoever. And, second, to burnish his credentials as a nominee for becoming the Secretary General of the United Nations, a corrupt international body that regularly disrespects the United States and fetes dictators, monarchs and Muslims.

Photo opportunities on the world stage are carefully pre-arranged and the handshake was no accidental encounter between a United States President and just another well-wisher …

Raul Castro Reaches Out to Obama, But Don’t Call It a Thaw
Tuesday’s greeting between Obama and Castro comes after six months of quiet diplomacy between the United States and Cuba—and Castro signaling he’s ready for bigger talks.
Since the Cuban revolution, the island’s ties with the United States have been marred by espionage, near war, sabotage, and deep distrust. But since President Obama came to office in 2009, Cuban leader Raul Castro has signaled that he is interested in a new relationship, according to current and former U.S. officials.
Earlier this year, Castro agreed to host peace talks between Colombia and the FARC, a Marxist rebel group that until recently Cuba and its most important ally, Venezuela, had supported. Last week, Obama praised the Cuban-brokered talksduring a state visit with Colombia’s president, Juan Manuel Santos.

The case could be made that Cuba was and is a state sponsor of terrorism throughout Latin America.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, U.S. and Cuban officials have held midlevel discussions in Havana and Washington on a range of issues, including direct postal service, migration issues, disaster response, and search and rescue at sea.
“The Cubans regularly say to people that they are ready for a different relationship,” said Dan Restrepo, who served as head of Latin America policy at the National Security Council during Obama’s first term.

Of course the Cubans are ready for a different relationship. One that relaxes trade sanctions and brings a flow of American dollars – and humanitarian support – into Cuba. Possibly to shore up a declining Marxist government dictatorship that sees its aging leaders dying off in the near future. Or to forestall another revolution when the Cuban people realize that their interests would be better served by allying with the superpower located 90 miles off its coast instead of taking socialist and communist handouts. I have a number of Cuban friends and they are a warm and friendly people – many of the older Cubans wishing to return to their beloved homeland under a banner of freedom.

Under what conditions does an American citizen maintain connections with a foreign enemy government?

Restrepo said the intermediaries who have delivered Castro’s messages are often U.S. citizens with connections to the Cuban government. But from time to time, other sources said, Latin American diplomats and leaders also have passed on the general message from Castro that he is ready for a bargain.
“There has been a string of emissaries, both private citizens and Latin American leaders, who have begun to nudge Obama forward on engaging in talks with Cuba and also carrying a message from Castro that he’s willing to talk,” said Steve Clemons, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation who has exceptionally close ties to the Obama White House and accompanied Vice President Biden on his recent tour of East Asia.

Are these people “useful idiots” or are they spies? I cannot see any benefit for an American citizen to maintain a relationship with the communist government of another foreign sovereign nation unless that person was motivated by ideology or money.

Human rights?

But despite these private signals and messages, the relationship may not be ready for a thaw. Indeed, on Tuesday, as Obama and Castro shook hands in South Africa, authorities detained about 20 dissidents in Havana who gathered to demonstrate on International Human Rights Day. While human rights have played no role in the U.S. outreach to Iran in recent weeks, they remain at the center of U.S. policy goals for Cuba. The 1996 legislation that codified the U.S. embargo of the island, known as Helms-Burton, explicitly says the embargo shall not be lifted until Cuba releases political prisoners and holds free and fair elections.
The Obama administration has addressed the human rights tract by deepening its engagement with the Cuban human rights community at the highest levels. In October, Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman met with Berta Soler, the leader of the Ladies in White, a Cuban human rights advocacy group.

There are no human rights in Cuba as long as Castro and his henchmen are in power. Your rights are dictated (ironically) by your value or threat to the government. If you represent neither, you live in a state of equality – everybody sharing equal misery and access to poor healthcare.

Bottom Line …

President Obama needs a foreign policy win – any foreign policy win – and it is my belief that he would sell out America and her citizens in a heartbeat if it advanced his personal and political agenda. Obama is truly an historic American President, possibly the first Marxist/Communist to ever hold the office, and the only President in history, including Jimmy Carter, where his loyalty and patriotism are suspect.

It is time that “We the People” attempt to restore the Constitutional checks and balances by dominating both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the coming 2014 congressional election cycle. Not only to restore honor to the Office of the Presidency and reverse America’s slide toward a European-style socialist democracy ruled by the oligarchs, the bureaucracy, and the unions, but also curtail the erosion of American freedoms that are being lost to petty (and not so petty) tyrants and bureaucrats.

The progressive socialist democrats have placed one-sixth of the American economy and the nation’s healthcare in jeopardy with their socialist drivel, it is time to kick these bastards under the bus.
