| What if ItÂ’s All True? |
| 2013-12-06 |
| I have never been much of a conspiracy theorist. For me it was always Oswald by himself from the Texas School Book Depository and nothing in the intervening fifty years has disabused me of this notion. For the most part, I’m an Occam’s Razor kind of guy — the most obvious explanation is likely to be true. Moreover, conspiracy theorists from Mark Lane to Jerome Corsi (more of him in a moment) have always seemed to me a little bit, well, off. ...Nevertheless, in the wake of the serial lies about Obamacare, Benghazi, the IRS, Fast and Furious, media surveillance, the NSA, Syria, Iran, etc., etc., I’m now prepared to believe many things of which I might initially have been at least somewhat skeptical. To put it bluntly, Occam’s Razor has moved. Things that were once possibilities now seem almost certainties to me. Principal among those is that Obama’s academic records are perpetually unavailable for a reason — and that reason is most likely that they reveal he received financial preferences, scholarships and/or loans, as a foreign student. They probably also reveal academic mediocrity, but that’s par for the course for many of our politicians (except it becomes embarrassing in Obama’s case where he has the reputation of being brilliant). 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? |

| #9 Nobody hides praise, academic or otherwise, especially when trying to develop a cult of personality. Must not be much praise out there on the the old "permanent record". |

| #8 "You have to ask, at this point, What difference does it make" My fellow Americans, you (51%) blew it. Whats done is done. There is no undoing it. All that is left is to see what can be salvaged from the ruins. |

| #4 O may have learned much during his early childhood in Indonesia: Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences." There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. From the Hadith: Bukhari (49:857) - "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar." Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means. From Islamic Law: Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) - "Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible and obligatory.." |

| #3 “Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche Obama has honed this concept to a fine art--Lying to justify stealing. "Social justice" is the means. Once a liar has lied, you cannot believe anything he or she tells you in the future. "O" has many accomplices around him supporting this artifice. |

| #2 Obama is a hybrid of the bowtie boys in Massachusetts and California..... and the ass cracks at Walmart. One wants to "distribute the wealth" and the other wants that free ride. Ever notice that Obama never gives cheering speeches to rooms full of Colonels? There is a reason for that. |
