Using this week's racially combustible DOMESTIC events -- tragic as they might be -- as the main thematic element in a "NATO SPEECH" in Warsaw Poland -- our "Trojan Horse President" yet again humiliated the nation he has been privileged to lead ----
---- IN SO DOING PRESIDENT OBAMA FURTHER DEMEANED AND DIMINISHED THE STATURE OF THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY, AND ONCE AGAIN HE HAS DONE IT ON THE WORLD STAGE ABROAD
Real Americans need to >>> Speak-Out <<<
Real Americans need to >>> PUSH BACK HARD <<< against this latest iteration of OBAMA-ISM . . . . .

According to the CNN report of the President's most recent speech in Warsaw, Poland ---
"... [A]cknowledging a "tough week" in the United States after anxious days of shootings and racial tensions, President Barack Obama said Saturday that he did not believe the United States was 'as divided as some have suggested.'... 'There is sorrow, there is anger, there is confusion about next steps,' Obama said during a news conference in Poland.... 'But there's unity in recognizing that this is not how we want our communities to operate. This is not who we want to be as Americans.'... Speaking for the third time in Poland about the gun violence that's seized communities in the United States, Obama said the situation didn't resemble the periods of mass social unrest in the 1960s.
'You're not seeing riots, you're not seeing police going after people who are protesting peacefully,' he said...." (See "Obama says U.S. 'not as divided as some have suggested' " by Kevin Liptak, 7/9/16, CNN [ http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/09/politics/obama-says-u-s-not-as-divided-as-some-have-suggested/index.html]).
The CNN report went on to not that --- ".... [Obama] said the motives of the killer in Dallas were 'very hard to untangle' but called the shooter 'demented' and downplayed the potential political motivations he may have carried. The shooter allegedly voiced a desire to 'kill white people' ahead of the attack, authorities have said.... 'I think the danger is that we somehow suggest that the act of a troubled individual speaks to some larger political statement across the country. It doesn't,' Obama said.... Referencing last year's attack on churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, Obama noted, 'When some white kid walks into a church and shoots a bunch of worshipers who invite him to worship with them, we don't assume that somehow he's making a political statement.'... And he made another call for tighter restrictions on guns, saying if Americans are concerned about violence against police officers, 'you can't set aside the gun issue and pretend that that's irrelevant.'... "
OBAMA AGAIN SHIFTED THE FOCUS TO GUNS & GUN-CONTROL LEGISLATION --- THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY VERBALLY DIVIDED POLITICALLY OPPOSING GROUPS OF AMERICANS WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY
CNN continued, ".... He voiced frustration at the bitter political debate over guns, lamenting that 'even mention of it somehow evokes this kind of polarization.'... 'When it comes to the issue of gun safety, there is polarization between a very intense minority, and a majority of Americans who actually think that we could be doing better when it comes to gun safety.'..."
However, according to the CNN report, the president also acknowledged "... a ramped-up anxiety that's descended on Americans as they watch seemingly unfettered violence on urban streets.... 'Americans of all races and all backgrounds are rightly outraged by the inexcusable attacks on police, whether it's in Dallas or anywhere else,' Obama said. 'That includes protesters, that includes family members who have grave concerns about police misconduct, and they've said this is unacceptable. There's no division there.'... Obama didn't mention any critics by name, but on Friday, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said racial divisions in the country have 'gotten worse, not better.... The President pushed back on that notion, insisting that Americans of all races were disgusted by gun violence...."
OBAMA'S VIEWS OF AMERICA'S DOMESTIC SITUATION ARE SLANTED AND DIVISIVE POLITICALLY --- THEY HAD NO PLACE IN A SPEECH DELIVERED IN A FOREIGN LAND
I for one completely disagree with much of what the president said in his speech in Warsaw. In spite of Obama's use of some conciliatory words and ameliorative tone, his speech remained a partisan and radical screed.
Here are a few of my disagreements and/or contrary positions:
1. As "Americans," it is patently obvious that we are not "united" or "unified" behind any consensus on race, race relations or the standards for policing of our communities, except in perhaps using some very general of terms and definitions;
2. The President's views on gun-control were partisan and extreme and are intended to use these recent tragedies to advance a radical domestic political and social agenda --- as such, they had no place in an overseas speech where Obama should have been speaking for the nation;
3. Some national spokespeople for the Republican Party and/or conservative-minded patriotic Americans generally need to push back: a) on what the President said in Poland, and b) on the separate fact that he said it in Poland, while there for diplomatic purposes; and lastly
NOTICE: THE “BEWARE OF THIS LONE GUNMAN NARRATIVE COMING OUT OF THE DALLAS SHOOTINGS” EDITION
ReplyDeleteMICAH XAVIER JOHNSON MUST BE ONE HELLISH FIEND --- THAT’S IF YOU BUY INTO HE CURRENT EMERGING NARRATIVE COMING THROUGH IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
SUPPOSEDLY, THIS GUY ALL ALONE SHOT MULTIPLE POLICE OFFICERS FROM A HIGH PURCHASE IN A MULTI-LEVEL URBAN AUTOMOBILE GARAGE --- ALSO THIS VERY SAME MICAH XAVIER JOHNSON SALLIED FORTH FROM THE GARAGE WAS ENGAGED BY A DALLAS POLICE OFFICER -- AND THEN WON A SHOOT-OUT WITH THAT OFFICER GIVING THE OFFICER A MULTIPLE SHOT POINT-BLANK COUP DE GRACE --- ALL OF THAT ON GROUND LEVEL AND AWAY FROM THE GARAGE --- ALSO MICAH XAVIER JOHNSON, LIKE A NINJA, WAS ABLE TO MAKE A “TEMPORARY ESCAPE” FROM THE SCENE OF THAT SHOOTING AND RE-ENTER THE GARAGE WHERE HE WAS BLOWN UP HOURS LATER BY A ROBOT ARMED WITH A C-4 BOMB
Please, excuse my incredulity….. Micah Johnson had been an army reservist with an MOS as a carpenter/mason -- at least on his record, he was in no way trained as any kind of special operations soldier….. Contrary to many popular reports, he was not armed with an AR-15 or any of its variants; he was armed with a 1940s-50s vintage SKS semi-automatic rifle – most commonly the SKS is fitted with a 10-round internal magazine, which is reloaded by hand, one bullet at a time or from some type of multi-round stripper-clip. The SKS is roughly the equivalent weapon to the WWII version of the American M-1 Carbine – except that most SKS riffles are not nearly as well-made as any M-1 carbine.
In many ways, the SKS rifle used by Micah Johnson in his downtown Dallas shooting spree in 2016 was like a newer, semi-automatic version of the infamous Mannlicher-Carcano used in another famous downtown Dallas shooting, which happened in 1963 -- which also included that shooter sallying forth and shooting a Dallas Police Officer at point blank range. Just like the shooter in 1963, Johnson was able to perform tremendous feats of shooting prowess with minimal military training.
Both Johnson and the 1963 shooter had marginal military records with disciplinary problems. Also, according to some reports, Micah Johnson practiced certain of his “tactical” moves in his back yard in his chosen military garb and equipment. I wonder if we’ll soon get photos of Johnson in full battle gear just like the 1963 shooter and his Mannlicher-Carcano.
One difference between the 2016 shooter and the 1963 shooter --- the 1963 shooter lived long enough to tell the world that he was a “patsy”; he survived his shooting event by two days --- whereas Mr. Johnson was blown up at the crime scene within hours of the initial shootings.
The FBI says he was a lone gunman. Oh, and, FBI also said Hillarys ok.

RESPONSE: THE "FBI SAID..." EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHE FBI SIGNED-OFF ON LEE HARVEY OSWALD'S BEING A LONE GUNMAN IN THAT 1963 SHOOTING CASE
LBJ wanted a "lone gunman" for the JFK-Officer Tippet shootings --- And what a President wants out of a government agency, a president usually gets out of a government agency.
On November 29, 1963 LBJ & FBI Director Hoover had a phone call in which they talked about there being no congressional hearings to review the FBI Kennedy Assassination findings, but instead there would be a group of significant people, with a small number of congressional people involved, that could be relied upon not to stir things up.

ReplyDeletePOLICE HEADQUARTERS IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS SHOT-AT OVERNIGHT
“Multiple gunshots struck the San Antonio Police Department’s public safety headquarters Saturday in an ‘alarming’ incident that follows several acts of violence against police in the country, authorities said…. Bullet marks were found on the Texas building and shell casings were left in a nearby alley, Police Chief William McManus told reporters. There were a ‘number’ of law enforcement officers inside the building when gunfire rang out shortly after 10 p.m., but no one was injured, the police chief said….” (See “Multiple Gunshots Fired at San Antonio Police Headquarters” by Melissa Chan, 7/10/16, Time [http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/multiple-gunshots-fired-at-san-antonio-police-headquarters/ar-BBu98fw?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp]).
If Homeland Security Boss Jeh Johnson says the Dallas shooter had no terrorism ties, bet as much money as you can on Micah X Johnson having plenty. Jeh Johnson is a clueless halfwit.

ReplyDeleteNow its JFK conspiracies about phone calls between Johnson and Hoover. What kind of wackjob is that. Were you listening in on the call?
Dallas has a history of lone shooters

UPDATE: THE " 'CONSERVATIVE' MEDIA DECIDES THAT IT NEEDS TO CENSOR ONE OF ITS OWN" EDITION
ReplyDeleteCONSERVATIVE PRINT & INTERNET MEDIA-TYPES GO AFTER THE "DRUDGE REPORT" FOR AN INFLAMMATORY HEADLINE
Newsmax is reporting that the "Drudge Report" has raised the ire of some "conservative" print and internet journalists and pundits with this headline:
"BLACK LIVES KILL
4 COPS SHOT DEAD IN DALLAS
...."
It was also noted that a later Drudge headline which changed the number of police officers killed to "5" and mentioned a claim of responsibility by a "Black Power Group" was similarly objectionable (See "Drudge Report Slammed For 'Black Lives Kill' Headline" by Newsmax Staff Writer, 7/11/16, Newsmax [http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/drudge-report-slammed-black/2016/07/11/id/738145/]).
