Is America Now Officially A Banana Republic?

Barack Obama’s election, the events leading up to it, and the way the media has treated Obama, prove America has become a Banana Republic.

For example, take the election results. Not a word in the mainstream media about massive voting irregularities. Not a word mentioned that Romney won every state requiring voter photo I.D., or that Obama won in closely contested states that require no voter ID of any kind like Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Was there voter fraud? We don’t know. You’d think an investigative reporter somewhere might be interested in this story? Amazingly, the media says nothing.

Or, how about the impossible fact that in 59 voting precincts in Philadelphia, Mitt Romney got zero votes…none, nada, zilch. Statistically impossible. Yet it happened in 59 precincts in one city and 9 precincts in Cleveland. And, in inner city voting precincts in Florida, Illinois, and Colorado- battleground states wide open for fraud…Romney got zero votes. In many other inner city precincts it was 100 to 1, 450 to 1, 315 to 1. This just isn’t possible. Yet, The media says nothing.

Or, what about the historic correlation between voter enthusiasm and winning? In 2008 Obama had all the enthusiasm. Not surprisingly, he won. This time around, polls proved that conservatives had a huge edge in enthusiasm and intensity. The tables had reversed. Romney rallies attracted 20,000 and 30,000 enthusiastic fans, while Obama rallies attracted embarrassingly low numbers.

On a personal level, I had reports from hundreds of friends and fans who excitedly reported 3 to 4 hour lines to vote in suburban conservative and Christian areas across this country. Yet we are told Romney had about 2 million LESS votes than John McCain received in 2008. Impossible. In multiple states there were reports of electronic voting changing Romney votes to Obama votes. Something certainly appears wrong. Someone should at least be investigating. Yet, still the media says nothing.

Polls showed military members supported Romney by landslide numbers. So Democrats actively suppressed military voting, doing everything in their power to make it extremely difficult for soldiers to cast a vote. The media says nothing.

Hurricane Sandy decimates New York and New Jersey. FEMA’s response is pathetic, embarrassing, close to criminal. No food or water for days. No power for weeks. FEMA did not pre-position the most basic of supplies- like bottled water. They were completely unprepared…incompetent…invisible. This was Obama’s Hurricane Katrina. Yet while Bush was vilified, blamed and called “racist,” the media praised Obama and 15% of voters call his response significant in their decision to vote FOR him on Election Day.

Then there’s Benghazi, Libya and the U.S. Embassy disaster. President Obama was warned that our Libyan Embassy faced an attack on 9/11. He did nothing. The Embassy asked for beefed up security. He did nothing. Four brave Americans died- including our Ambassador. Obama’s administration lackeys watched in real time (with drones filming it all from above) from the comfort of the White House “Situation Room.” They did nothing. Seal teams begged for permission to rescue our boys. Obama ordered them to stand down. He not only left them behind, he watched them being murdered. Yet, The media says nothing. 

Then he covered it all up. CIA Chief General Petraeus reported to Obama declaring it a terrorist attack. But that reference to terrorism was removed. Obama, Hillary Clinton, and UN Ambassador Susan Rice spent 2 weeks falsely blaming a YouTube video. Obama referred to the YouTube video 4 times in a speech at the United Nations…2 weeks after the attack. This was clearly a coverup to save Obama’s re-election. This is Watergate with 4 dead bodies. The media says nothing.

Days before the election, out of nowhere, the Obama Labor Department extrapolated that 873,000 new part-time jobs were created in one month. This “miracle” allowed unemployment to miraculously dip below 8% after 43 consecutive months. Perfect timing for a politician trained in Chicago fraud politics.  The media says nothing.

Since the election, the terrible jobs numbers suddenly re-appeared. After the miraculous one-month recovery, unemployment is suddenly back up again. Still…the media says nothing.

Forget 7.8% unemployment. The Bureau of Labor & Statistics reports “Real Unemployment” (called U6) is 14.6%. Have you ever heard the media mention the 14.6% real unemployment number? Or have you heard that food stamp usage has jumped to a new all time record of 46,681,833? Or that food stamp growth was faster in Obama’s first term than job growth? The media mysteriously says nothing about those damning statistics.

Obama promised to cut the deficit in half, instead he doubled it, and presided over the first credit downgrade in U.S. history. Obama’s 43 consecutive months of unemployment above 8% was more than all the months over 8% from Presidents Truman to George W. Bush COMBINED. Did you ever hear the media mention that fact? During the campaign, the media said nothing. 

How about Obama’s secret tape about his love for “income redistribution” (the central tenant of socialism)? The media repeatedly pounded Romney’s 47% tape into every voter’s subconscious…but mysteriously ignored Obama’s tape for the entire campaign.

During the Presidential debates Obama lied…repeatedly. The biggest whopper was his claim he supported oil drilling. Facts proved drilling permits were down 60% under Obama. Two days AFTER the election, Obama issued a plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West originally slated for oil shale development. The media says nothing.

The media never mentions Obama’s schedule. We are in a Great Depression II. Our economy is in the worst crisis since 1929. The Middle East is in flames. Our ally Israel is under attack. And Obama’s entire year 2012 was filled with golf, basketball, fundraising, campaign rallies, and “morning zoo” media appearances. How is there any time left to deal with the economy? Well there’s not. Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors hasn’t met in over a year. The media says nothing.

Nothing to see folks. There is no story. Just move along.

The story I’ve just told you could be expected in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, or Zimbabwe. I would never have guessed in America that the mainstream media would take their marching orders directly from the President.

We are now officially living in a Banana Republic.
