More sobering than our last post, a sort of chortle of “we tried to tell you so” as regards public trust shifting against Obama in response to continued damning revelations about the Obama administration comes this referral and introduction from our Illustrious Senior Editor. He refers to an article today by Roger L. Simon, recently retired chief editor of PJmedia about all the accusations about Obama. What If It’s All True? DLH writes:
Roger Simon is not generally regarded as a conspiricist. He is an experienced respected journalist and editor. Consider his melancholy sort of view of the revelations: An excerpt:
But that’s only one area of accusation. What if they were all true — or, if not all, say thirty, forty or even fifty percent? What if this were actually demonstrated while he was still in office to the degree that the standard spin that all politician lie no longer applied? What if we could prove that it had gone well beyond that, beyond Nixon and Clinton far into the realm of an invented man? What it would that mean, exactly? Should his opponents rejoice? Would a new era and truth, beauty and prosperity be upon us?
Not likely. Great damage has been done. Consider for a moment that whatever theories we have about Obama, whatever prevarications and deceptions of which we are aware or unaware, are known equally to our adversaries — the intelligence agencies of China, Russia and Iran. Even if they were too dumb to figure it out for themselves, which they’re not, they read our newspapers and blogs.
These totalitarian — or near totalitarian, depending on how you want to parse it — states depend on lies for their existence. In Obama they have found a partner in crime, a semblable, as Baudelaire would say. They are currently exploiting this. In all likelihood our world will never be the same. This is no cause for celebration by any American.
