Front Page Mag published a very insightful article by Caroline Glick (columnist – Jerusalem Post) last Friday: Obama and the ‘Official Truth’. I believe I’ll subtitle it; “All opposition must be silenced” ~

With the flood of scandals now inundating the White House many are wondering if there is a connection between the cover-up of Benghazi, the IRS’s prejudicial treatment of non-leftist non-profit organizations and political donors, the Environmental Protection Agency’s prejudicial treatment of non-liberal organizations, and the Justice Department’s subpoenaing of phone records of up to a hundred reporters and editors from the Associated Press.
 
On the surface, they seem like unrelated events. But they are not. They expose the modus operandi of the Obama administration: To establish an “official truth” about all issues and events, and use the powers of the federal government to punish all those who question or expose the fraudulence of that “official truth.”
 

To establish their “official truth” they must suppress free speech. And we have ever-mounting evidence that that’s exactly what they’re doing ~
 
DOJ ~ Better referred to these days as Eric Holder’s Department of INjustice. Strong arm tactics started early with the failure to prosecute the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation in the ’08 election, followed up with the Fast & Furious debacle and subsequent cover-up, and continue with the determined effort to deport German homeschoolers.
 
EPA ~ Preferential treatment for Green groups. They get a pass on FOIA(Freedom of information Act) requests; everyone else gets to pay full freight. “EPA’s practice is to take care of its friends and impose ridiculous obstacles to deny problematic parties’ requests for information.”
 
DHS ~ The Department of Homeland Security has been demonizing conservatives since 2009:

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

The agency’s primary responsibilities – national preparedness and security – are apparently secondary to providing cover for Islamic extremists: Homeland Security guidelines advise deference to pro-Shariah Muslim supremacists
 
Spying on the Press ~ Obama Justice Department Secretly Monitored AP Reporters’ Phone Records. And of course they wouldn’t leave out Fox News.
“The Obama-Holder Justice Department is now prepared to treat the ordinary newsgathering actives of reporters to seek information from government officials as a possible crime.” ~ Brit Hume
 
IRS targets ~ Seems like we hear of a new one daily…
• Tea Party
• Pro-life & pro-family organizations
• True-the-Vote – a non-profit promoting fair and honest elections
• Christian charities
• Pro-Israel Groups
 
Glick’s article continues ~

By targeting (Israel’s supporters), the Obama administration completes the circle of an overall modus operandi of punishing those who oppose and expose the failures of his policies – domestic and foreign. The underlying theme that connects Benghazi to the Tea Party, to the subpoenaing of AP phone records, to Z Street, to Nakoula is that they all have challenged the administration’s “official truth.”

 
Can we trust anything coming out of the Obama White House? Probably not.
 

One can only hope that Obama’s thuggish creation and corrupt defense of his “official truth” will anger, disgust – and frighten – all Americans.

 
Yes, hope. And praying would be really good too. Pray that the country can survive almost four more years of deception, lies and tyranny…
