The Elimination Has Begun: Ben Carson Caught Lying About His West Point Scholarship

First of all, let’s be clear. All of the Republican candidates are controlled one way or another. They’re all phony in various ways. This isn’t to say Carson is somehow better than the rest of them. He’s just not the Kony 2012 (as in, “the worst”) of candidates the media is making him out to be lately, either.

But check the news. Ben Carson is all kinds of under attack this week.

The latest is all about how he straight up lied about applying at, and be accepted into, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point — a key central part of his inspirational life story.

Via Politico:

The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

“In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process), then we would have records indicating such,” she said.

When presented with these facts, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false.

Oops.

But this West Point thing is only the latest in Carson attacks to hit the press this week.

He’s also been mocked for standing by a bizarre claim the great pyramids in Egypt were built by the biblical figure Joseph to store grain.

And just yesterday, it was reported Carson said the founding fathers had “no elected office experience”.

CNN also questioned him for claims he made in his 1990 autobiography — that’s right, a book he wrote a quarter of a century ago — regarding his great transformation from a violent teen who once attacked a friend with a knife. Carson said he used fictitious names on purpose to protect the identities of those involved.

“They are so desperate looking for a scandal it’s almost comical,” Carson said. “What they should be concentrated on is how are we going to solve the problems that we have. They can waste all of their time digging but they’re just not going to find anything.”

The character assassination has begun. All of this, even the West Point story, seems pretty piddly in comparison to some of the corruption oozing behind some of these candidates.

But here’s the thing. All of these things, all of this information, was there to be had by anyone at any time, obviously. Most of the events are so long ago, in one of them Carson is a teenager.

Why, do you think, all of this is coming out now of all times?

Could it be because… er, I dunno… Carson is leading in the polls in Iowa, a key state, as we speak? Because Monday he was leading the entire GOP race according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll? Because another poll came out Wednesday saying he was likely stealing black voters from Hillary?

I’m gonna go ahead and guess that’s why. Seems like the West Point lie is the biggest scandal they’ve got so far.

As if none of the other GOP candidates or Hillary have never lied. Give us a break. They all lie. They’re politicians.

Not that, by any means, I’d vote for Ben Carson. Of course he’s phony. He’s also been spotted sucking up to billionaire Sheldon Adelson just like almost all of them eventually do. Then again, I wouldn’t vote for any of these slick suits. American elections are all a complete sham anyway.

But for people who still somehow believe in this corrupt, bought-out, entirely manipulated dog and pony show, I’ve actually seen Ben Carson for President bumper stickers on the backs of cars in real life. I’ve never, not one time this whole year (not even during a road trip across the entire state of Texas), seen a Jeb! sticker on anything.

The bottom line is that Carson is an enemy to the unofficial American dynasty candidates. And that’s why he must be eliminated, Herman Cain-style. Are we going to find out Carson cheated on his wife next? If they’ve got pictures, you know what’s about to make headlines next.

You know somewhere the Bushes and Clintons have files inches thick on every single candidate. Looks like the time has come to start picking them off, one-by-one.
