DID THE BUREAU DROP A DRAW?



Whether out of ego or distrust the local, state and federal law enforcements have an obligation to put aside their differences in order to combat both crime and terrorism to keep the American street safe.

Did they in the case of the Boston Marathon bombers? The answer appears to be both yes and decidedly no. Yes, in the aftermath of this cowardly terrorist act they seem to come together working well to capture the suspects. Yet, no they did not share information to local authorities about the older bomber who had been investigated by the FBI based on the Russian counter-terrorists request.

It leads to the same query Americans had about 911. Could the hijacking of 911 been prevented, or could the Marathon bombing been prevented?

Before 911 the FBI’s counter-terrorism division had the names of possible terrorists yet they did not share that list with INS and some of the hijackers brazenly walked into our country under the nose of our so-called security. The CIA blamed the FBI and the FBI blamed the CIA and both agencies blamed the National Security Agency who blamed the FBI and the CIA. 

We then had an independent commission (911 Commission) investigate the buck and blame passing to learn that every agency had to accept partial responsibility for dropping the ball. Moreover the number one reason why they failed their primary objective to keep America safe was that these agencies failed to have cooperative intelligence sharing.

There was a stove-pipe or turf entrenchment in these agencies that either did not trust one another or wanted to garner agency credit as though the CIA and FBI were competing sports teams. The report by the 911 commission indeed was an indictment against the bureaucratic culture in government.  

The solution by the Bush Administration seemed both then and now to be akin to making another cut in the patient when the previous blood-letting curative failed. Bush’s solution to bureaucratic anemia was to create another bureaucracy called Department of Homeland Security or DHS. 

Most Americans believed that the creation of another bureaucratic agency was not only an unnecessary expansion of government, but ridiculously expected bureaucracy to control bureaucracy while they ignored the real problem; bureaucratic paralysis . When you ignore any problem it grows, festers and becomes even harder to solve as its imperfection is accepted as the new normal.

Looking at the Boston Bombing incident we see déjà vu all over again. Arguably under the Obama administration our government’s policy of political correctness and multicultural blindness has made America more vulnerable than before 911. The vetting of those seeking asylum, visas or green card admission into America appears nonsensical at best and politically motivated at worst.  

The INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) granted asylum to the Tsarnaeva family in 2002 from Dagestan granting citizenship to the younger bomber Dzhokhar in 2011 all with DHS approval. 
 
We imported the Cleaver family into the United States where the mother June Cleaver or (Zubeidat Tsarnaeva) supplemented the family income by given facials in her home and shoplifting clothes from the Lord and Taylor department store. Ward Cleaver or (Anzor Tsarnaeva) was an auto mechanic that suffered ill health and eventual Ward and June divorced over rumored differences about fundamentalist Islamic beliefs.Ward (Anzor) returned to Dagestan leaving June (Zubeidat) to raise the Cleaver clan alone.


Wally (Tamerlan) was the older of the two brothers and made his parents proud by dropping out of school, going on welfare, getting a girl pregnant, marrying her, converting her from Christianity to Islam and slapping her around a bit as well. He also coincidentally found that his wife Katherine Russell shared the same passion as her mother-in-law; shoplifting. 

The Beaver (Dzhokhar) was the all American immigrant citizen attending college, by all accounts a bright kid that was failing his courses perhaps because he had a greater passion for pot smoking and dealing. 
Yes Wally (Tamerlan) was a great son and older brother for the Beaver (Dzhokhar) to look up to and emulate. You can hear it now can’t you? 

The Beaver (Dzhokhar) saying to Wally (Tamerlan);

“Hey Wally (Tamerlan) what happens if we get caught planting the bombs? Will Mom and Dad be upset? Do we really have to commit suicide? Can I smoke another blunt before we head to New York?  Hey Wally do I get to pick my 72 virgins from thousands of virgins or does Allah pick them for me?”

Yes our government imported the Cleaver family even though the Russians warned us that Wally (Tamerlan) might be a terrorist. Yes our government imported an Islamic mother June Cleaver (Zubeibat) that became more religiously zealous as she trolled the Boston stores for good buys to shoplift. Yes our government granted citizenship to the Beaver (Dzhokhar) that along with Wally (Tamerlan) planted bombs at the Boston Marathon that killed a handful of Americans and maimed and scarred for life hundreds of others. 

What has our government learned from 911, Fort Hood, Benghazi and now the Boston bombings?   
Nothing, because if we don’t demand our government to start profiling and getting serious about protecting Americans from Islamic Jihadists then we will be seeing more carnage on our streets.

We need to demand that Congress investigate and give us a full accounting of Benghazi and the Boston Bombings and stop pretending we are not at war with terrorists.

DING DONG THE SWITCH IS DEAD



Obama learned little from his 2010 “shellacking” as he campaigns to donors for money to return Nancy Pelosi to Speaker of the House. That ship has sailed, that house has fallen and outside of a small group of Nancy groupies no one wants her to hold a gavel ever again.

The President won his re-election in 2012 but it was not a landslide, not a mandate and the country has not embraced Obamacare or socialism as the President wants to assume.

In fact, Obamacare is more unpopular now than it was when Nancy made the famous brainless statement “We have to pass the bill to know what’s in the bill.” Well Americans don’t have to re-elect Nancy Pelosi as speaker to know what kind of Speaker she is, she is a discredited voice on every issue facing the nation.

Her arrogance coupled with her witless prescriptions for everything from more stimuli for the economy to her new campaign for universal child care. Americans are not foolish enough to be fooled again by giving Nancy the gavel to reconcile (force) her loony liberal socialists programs down our throats again. 

Obama’s failed Sequestration campaign and his current attack on America’s 2nd Amendment rights is exposing his political fallibility based on his mythical belief since his re-electing that the country has changed. The truth is not that America has changed as much as the American political party system still generates more hype than hope.

By Obama promising (more akin to threatening) the American people to a return to the good old days of Pelosi as Speaker he reveals his own misinterpretation of the nation’s sentiments. Pelosi is not just the poster child for the still widely unpopular Obamacare but even Democratic voters rejected how the Speaker made the sausage in the backroom that gave us this one-sided piece of legislation.

Equally, since she was in the spotlight for the healthcare legislation even the low-information voter that may have been ignorant before 2010 now know and equate Nancy Pelosi’s name with obtuseness and arrogance.
The Scott Brown campaign centered on the voice of the electorate wanting defeat of Obamacare to put Nancy Pelosi and those supporting that legislation to a halt. When Brown won his Massachusetts Senate seat he was lauded as the one Senate vote needed to kill the Healthcare Bill.

We all remember the anger, and incredibly disheartening news that Nancy Pelosi was going to use reconciliation, a parliamentary procedure intended to speed up the legislative process when all sides agree to legislation except for funding discrepancies or reconciliation. However, she was well aware that the Healthcare Bill did not fall into this category or was anything close to unanimous in approval.

Undeterred and with complete disregard for more than half the electorate in dissent she pushed this boondoggle legislation down America’s throat. The 2010 election was a repudiating of her Party’s tyrannical defiance of the Will of the People. 

Apparently Obama’s 2010 shellacking had little effect on his governance as he has continued to pursue a political course and discourse as partisan and as tone deaf as ever to his responsibility to be President of all Americans not just his liberal party. His appeal to his donors to return a one-sided partisan Congress with none other than the woman who asserted that Town Hall voters protesting Obamacare were anti-American is in a perverse way a help to his opposition.

If conservatives need help to rally the base to win congressional seats in 2014 then the President just helped the cause. Even the low information voter attention can be easily revived by “Look, you don’t want Pelosi back in charge do you?”




Of course in staying with my theme perhaps an hourglass and a wicked witchy cackle laugh would make a more successful foreboding image to the 2014 electorate. I and many Americans will not allow Pelosi to be able to ever say again to us “I’ll get you my pretty”.
