Let's Talk Conspiracy Theories


Personally, I love a good conspiracy theory. At least ones that make me think. Though usually, I’m thinking these people are nuts! I’m not talking about the “aliens did it” theorist. There is absolutely no way our government could ever keep secret, for so long, something of this magnitude. Think about the ass hats in Washington purporting to represent us. You can’t honestly believe that any of these complete dumbasses kept THAT secret all these years? I mean, evidence of extra-terrestrial life? Come on, you wouldn’t trust them with Grandma’s secret Sunday biscuit recipe, let alone something of this magnitude.

                I don’t mean our government can’t keep secrets. They can, just not very well. Usually, our government slaps a classified label on the information or “evidence” and that’s that. If the evidence is unusually controversial or explosive? Then it’s time for the miss-information and defamation campaign to begin.

Case in point, the terrorist attack on our embassy in Benghazi and murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens. You can read more about the details here. A lot, and I mean a lot, has been proposed by the talking heads dominating media coverage of this incident. Given that one of the presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton, was Secretary of State, and therefore in charge of security for our ambassadors and embassies around the world, I can understand the interest.

My problem with the coverage and dissection of this attack? Aside from the miss-information and defamation campaign orchestrated by President Obama’s administration? And jumped on by the talking heads? We’re missing the point!

This is the conspiracy bit here. Our current President, who I’ll refer to as “Professor Dumbass” and should not be confused with his predecessor “Cowboy Dumbass”, made a decision. What was the decision? Not to send help. He made the decision to sacrifice our ambassador and his staff. (A bit understated, I know, but what ya gonna do?) The rest is just “smoke and mirrors” to keep his decision from “blowing up” in his face. (See what I did there?)

Why do I think this? How do I know? Well, you cannot possible believe our government is so impotent they couldn’t orchestrate a rescue? This attack, initially called a “protest” over an anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims, lasted for hours. Hours people! Surely, we have the capability to respond with force in that timeframe. After all, while the Republicans protest the gutting of our military, the Democrats claim the administration was re-aligning our armed forces to address “current” or “modern” military needs. Such as the ability to respond to hotspots around the world. What happened with that? Did the administration just fail? NO!!!

Profession Dumbass made a call. It was a difficult and politically explosive call to make. Because we didn’t send in “the troops”, the situation didn’t escalate to all-out war. Not sending in “the troops” kept the bloodshed to a minimum. You don’t have to like Professor Dumbass’ decision, I certainly don’t, but we have to accept his call on the situation. He is our President, all of ours, something I think he forgets, a lot.

Unfortunately, and this is where I have a real problem, Professor Dumbass’ motivation wasn’t to keep the situation from escalating and the bloodshed from swelling into rivers. His administrations’ position on radical Islamic terrorism, not that they’d ever call it that, is we are winning. We’ve contained the Islamic terrorist state and they’re as good as finished. WTF? Delusional much? Because he wants to be the President of peace, good people were sacrificed! He won the Nobel Peace Prize for Christs sake! But to let good people die to further your agenda and pad your Presidential legacy and to allow radical Islamic terrorists to kill us without consequences, this is unacceptable! I know Professor Dumbass will never understand. It’s the problem all Ivory Tower Elites have, if it looks good on paper, it will work in the “real” world. While you and I understand this is almost never the case, the Ivory Tower Elites will never understand.

What about the two presidential hopefuls? Your guess is as good as mine. Sorry about that, but one was a major player in this conspiracy and has a track record that can only be looked on as suspect if not downright treasonable. She blamed an internet video for the “protest” knowing it was a planned attack. Later she took responsibility for the lack of embassy security in an interview with CNN saying “I’m responsible for diplomats’ security”. However, when questioned by the Benghazi House Committee she pulls a Sargent Shultz from Hogan’s Heroes and said “I know nothing, I see nothing”. So, what about the other one? He’s a mouthy blowhard who seems to speak in plain language, but doesn’t actually say much of anything. So, good luck with these two! We’re going to need it!

As always, this is just my opinion. You could be wrong!
