TAMPERING IN TAMPA

The latest scandal coming out of Washington is that CENTCOM censored and destroyed reports that were painting a more negative picture of the danger of ISIS terrorism and the growing instability in the Mideast. This was done to make the President's foreign policy (some might say, "What foreign policy?") look more effective. 

CENTCOM is short for the United States Central Command which is one of the six areas of the globe that the Pentagon divides up to analyze and track, for an accurate picture of real time threats and intelligence information for both our military and political leaders.

There are nine commands divisions, the six covering the world are CENTCOM, AFRICOM, (all of Africa except Egypt), EUCOM, (Europe and including Turkey and Israel), NORTHCOM, PACOM, and SOUTHCOM, while SOCOM, STRATCOM, TRANSCOM function as operational structure for the military.

The CENTCOM division headquartered in Tampa, Florida, covers twenty countries. These are; Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Uzbekistan and Yemen.

As most Americans know, the CENTCOM region is the hot zone for the ISIS growing expansion of terrorism, the Syrian civil war, the purging of Christian enclaves and the refugee crises. One would expect that information and analysis gathering in this strategic area would be void of politics, and equally empty of misinformation. After all, this is data and fact finding that vows to keep America safe by assessing national security threats before they materialize into deadly realities, and therefore it would be a dereliction of duty to whitewash facts, right?

Although the mainstream media is barely covering this story, the whistleblowers from CENTCOM came to Congress with allegations that reports from military analysts were being heavily edited, and that many were under pressure to write more favorable assessments by their Pentagon superiors. The whistle-blowing over undue White House influence over military intelligence gathering coupled with many rumors that the Obama administration has been purging generals based on their politics rather than their performance so as to replace them with administration friendly obsequious Pentagon pawns, has just found its walking legs.

The House Intelligence Committee, chaired by REP. Devin Nunes has recently revealed that files and e-mails regarding intelligent analysis of ISIS have been deleted at CENTCOM headquarters fueling the whistleblowers claims that Pentagon and White House pressured re-writes of reports, and then destroyed unfavorable drafts, all in the name of political narcissism. Obama's vanity will not allow Americans to know how ineffective are his foreign policies and how the threat of ISIS grows under his rudderless leadership. 

Let's see, the IRS can't find e-mails and files over the conservative targeting scandal because Louis Lerner's hard drive (inexplicably) crashed without backups. The White House has continued to stonewall as to the timeline of the Presidents movements and actions during the Benghazi attack. Hillary Clinton as Secretary Of State had a private non-secured server in which she deleted files and had the server wiped clean. Now we learn that CENTCOM in Tampa had files deleted. Oh but sure, this is just another routine leftist government mistake. At least, that is certainly how the corrupt mainstream media is treating this latest scandal under this morally bankrupt administration.

 Obama's White House spokesperson claims that this scandal matters little because it did not affect the outcome of Obama's foreign policy. Does that sound familiar? "What difference does it make?"

Americans should be furious that under the Democrats our government is operating like a corrupt leftist's orchestra, that plays the only tune they know, Chopin's Funeral March of our constitutional Republic. Since taking office Obama has appointed and promoted only the most obsequious office holders, that are far too willing to commit subterfuge and destroy evidence for their commissar of the White Dacha. 

Once again, our media buries the facts, in the by-the-way news coverage. They are unwilling to join the whistleblowers that have flown out of the government mine to warn us all of the noxious nature of the communists neophytes running the country headlong into its demise.        

Once again, the oversight of Congress is being foiled by the destruction of computer files, and the slow walking committee is chasing a cold trail of scandalous behavior by the most divisive and covert administration to ever hold the White House. 

Once again, no one will be fingered, no one will be charged, no one will be held accountable amid the feckless reckless and rampart reprehensible behavior of both this administration, and their enablers in Congress. 

Will a new Commander in Chief bring integrity to a government so embroiled in amoral fidelity to their political gods, named money and power?

The question most Americans should have, is not, is this administration corrupt, but rather, how broken is our government that so many military and civilian government personnel have forgotten their service oath, and are willing to be loyal to their temporary superior, Obama, rather than their permanent boss, the Constitution and the American people.
