'The world (that would be us) seems to disappoint him'

By James Longstreet

“The World Seems to Disappoint Him.’ Says Obama biographer David Remnick, an Obama biographer and the editor of the New Yorker.

The problem, looked at another way is thus. He has miscalculated the realities of the real world. He is the anointed one from the ivory tower of academia and community organizing, steeped in theories and politically chic notions. That old Constitution just doesn’t demand that the government do enough for the People. The Constitution seems to disappoint him as well.

The great disconnect between realities and “wishing it was so” is the pragmatic shortfall that seems ingrained into the liberal mindset. Ramifications from the implementation of “warm and fuzzy” policies just don’t seem to register.

Wind mills and solar panels, what a wonderful world it would be. But the math doesn’t work.

“Can’t we all get along, come on guys.” A Foreign policy based on that notion doesn’t float in an atmosphere in which there are those who wish us harm, and deliver.

Health insurance for all, but what of medical costs and doctors that choose to sit this one out? What is the impetus for those to enroll who will pay more? Details, details.

The climate is warming, changing, disrupting. We must curtail our carbon foot print. What is lost is that India and China choose not to do anything of the sort. For us to hamstring our own industries to perhaps make an infinitesimal impact on what may indeed not be a man made problem is folly. And one might ask, “where are all the scientists from India and China and Brazil that should be clamoring for their nations to curtail carbon usage?”

If indeed the President is disappointed in the world, then indeed he has miscalculated. It is his problem, his deficiency, his lack of observation. The broken campaign promises, and others, were never truly grounded in reality. No more earmarks, cutting the budget deficit in half, closing Gitmo, sitting down with the “bad guys” of the world and making them see things our way, and nuclear treaties that place us at a disadvantage all ring harmonic before the university crowds. They all fall flat outside the think tank.

The problem seems to be that the President believes that if he thinks it so, it therefore must be so. That is a curious manifestation of an over active self admiration. Those who point to realities, practicalities, and offer objections based on fact are met with accusations of obstructionism and even racism. Mr. President, if you are disappointed in the world, imagine how the world must feel.

Obama Tells Bel Air Donors ‘We’ve Got Public Opinion on Our Side on Every Issue’

By Bridget Johnson
President Obama told a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser in L.A. last night that the country is “not going to make good choices unless we break out of this cycle in which dysfunction breeds cynicism, and cynicism then breeds more dysfunction.”
“I’m in trouble at home. And the reason is, is because I told Michelle back in 2012 I had run my last campaign, but a couple months ago, I had to let her in on a secret, and that is, honey, I got one more campaign I got to run,” he quipped to a well-heeled audience including Barbra Streisand, James Brolin and Jeffrey Katzenberg. “I need to make sure we continue to have a Democratic Senate, and I need a Democratic House of Representatives in Washington. And I’m going to do everything I can to make that happen.”
Obama lamented that “despite the progress that we’ve made on issues that are important to everybody here, there’s still disquiet around the country.”
He talked up the minimum wage effort at the Bel Air home of Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn, where ticket prices ranged from $10,000 to $32,400.
“And we can debate a lot about whether the Senate rules need to be changed and are there problems with our media and campaign finance and there are a whole bunch of structural reasons why Washington isn’t working as well as it should. But the principal reason is that there is just a fundamental difference in what we as Democrats believe and what this particular brand of Republicans that we’ve got in Congress believes,” he said.
“…And the congenital problem that Democrats have is in midterms especially, we don’t vote. Our voters are younger, they’re more likely to be minority. And because they’re more likely to be struggling, they’re not always paying attention when the president — presidential candidate isn’t on the ballot. And so you’ve got a self-fulfilling prophecy — people who have the most at stake in a government that works opt out of the system; those who don’t believe that government can do anything are empowered; gridlock reigns and we get this downward spiral of even more cynicism and more dysfunction.”
The president tried to encourage his donors to have “a sense of urgency” about this election.
“This is my last campaign, and I’m going to put everything I’ve got into it, but I need you to feel that this is just as important — because we can’t afford to wait until 2016. And nothing is going to happen magically, by the way, that changes in 2016 if we still have the same kind of voting patterns and the same dysfunction that we’ve got right now in Congress. We’ll be stymied all over again,” Obama continued.
“The good news is we’ve got public opinion on our side if people actually turn out — on every issue. On minimum wage, on pay equity, on clean energy, on immigration reform — there’s not an issue in which we do not possess a majority in this country. But it has to manifest itself during election time, and especially during midterms.”

Clinton's State Department resisted labeling Boko Haram as terror group

The kidnapping of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls by radical Islamic terror group Boko Haram has drawn international condemnation, including that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"Abominable," is how she described the kidnapping, calling it an "act of terrorism" that merits "the fullest response possible."
But the State Department, under Clinton's leadership, repeatedly resisted and blocked efforts to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group. Those who pushed for the designation as early as 2011 are now saying the department missed a major opportunity to track and target the deadly organization as it grew.
"The delayed designation of Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization cost us two years of increased scrutiny of the group's activities and leadership," Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., said Thursday in a statement to FoxNews.com. "Boko Haram met the statutory requirements for the designation as early as 2011, but the State Department's delay has left us with fewer resources and less intelligence on an Islamic terrorist group with ties to al-Qaeda that is clearly destabilizing the region."
The State Department did label Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization in November 2013, under the leadership of Secretary John Kerry.
But Boko Haram had been killing people for years at that point, building ties with Al Qaeda sympathizers and orchestrating major terror attacks, including one on a U.N. compound in 2011.
...According to The Daily Beast, State Department officials now argue there was concern at the time that putting Boko Haram on the list would raise its profile and give it "greater credibility," in turn helping recruitment.
But one unnamed former U.S. official told The Daily Beast that everyone from the FBI to the CIA was urging the department to make the call, calling Clinton's recent comments "gross hypocrisy."

#SelfiesAgainstSlavers

By Jim Treacher
The Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram has been behaving like a typical Islamic gang, but for some reason, making a big show of criticizing them is becoming a cause célèbre.
As we know, the State Department has solved the crisis in Ukraine with a Twitter hashtag. And now FLOTUS is using the same powerful weapon against child slavers in Africa.

Well, that ought to do the trick.

Despite doomsday predictions, report finds only 1 layoff from sequester cuts

By Stephanie McNeal
Despite doomsday warnings from the White House and lawmakers on both sides that hundreds of thousands would lose their jobs as a result of the sequester, it turns out the budget cuts have only led to one job being lost among 23 federal agencies.
Now Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is demanding answers as to why the Obama administration repeatedly warned taxpayers that the $85.3 billion in spending cuts, which went into effect in March 2013, would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. The findings were revealed in a government watchdog report.
“Taxpayers expect us to root our predictions in fact, not ideology and spin,” Coburn said Wednesday in a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Matthews Burwell.
In response, OMB spokesman Steve Posner said in a statement to FoxNews.com there is "no question" the sequestration has had an negative impact on Americans, pointing out the report also states that employees had their hours reduced and agencies were forced to curtail hiring as a result of the cuts, among other examples.
The March report by the Government Accountability Office describes how 23 agencies and departments -- which appear to span most of the federal government -- complied with the cuts. Only one, the Department of Justice, decided to lay off a single employee in fiscal year 2013.
A spokeswoman for the GAO told FoxNews.com the DOJ reported that the laid-off worker was from the the U.S. Parole Commission, but they had no other information about the employee. Virtually every other arm of the government turned to tactics like cutting overtime, reducing employee travel and putting workers on furlough to avoid actual firings.

Spiral: Two More Offices Accused of Falsifying Records, VA Chief Refuses to Step Down

By Guy Benson
The cancer is spreading -- or, more accurately, the cancer is being discovered to have spread. As we suspected would be the case. Beyond the longstanding allegations and evidence of widespread neglect and egregiously substandard care, various systems and facilities within the Veterans Affairs healthcare network have been accused of falsifying records in order to escape scrutiny and accountability for those failures. The first salvo came from a doctor who blew the whistle on the corrupt modus operandi within the Phoenix system. Top administrators there have been placed on leave. Nearly identical claims have since arisen in Colorado, and now two more apparent examples have cropped up in Texas:

A Department of Veterans Affairs scheduling clerk has accused VA officials in Austin and San Antonio of manipulating medical appointment data in an attempt to hide long wait times to see doctors and psychiatrists, the American-Statesman has learned. In communications with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, a federal investigative body that protects government whistleblowers, the 40-year-old VA employee said he and others were “verbally directed by lead clerks, supervisors, and during training” to ensure that wait times at the Austin VA Outpatient Clinic and the North Central Federal Clinic in San Antonio were “as close to zero days as possible.” The medical support assistant, who is seeking whistleblower protection and has been advised to remain anonymous by federal investigators, said he and other clerks achieved that by falsely logging patients’ desired appointment dates to sync with appointment openings. That made it appear there was little to no wait time, and ideally less than the department’s goal of 14 days. In reality, the clerk said, wait times for appointments could be as long as three months.

The dam has broken. The VA's endemic 'cover-up' culture is exposed. One incident can be fairly dismissed as isolated. A second begins to generate some smoke. Four and counting is a political conflagration that demands a thorough investigation and accountability; the inferno may end up bringing down Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki. Two Senators have now called for his resignation, as has Senate candidate Scott Brown in New Hamsphire. The American Legion wants Shinseki gone, too -- though the VFW is being more circumspect on that question, while expressing grave concerns over what's come to light. So far.

IRS audits 10% of Tea Party donors

By Rick Moran

When the IRS was targeting conservative groups seeking tax exempt status for special scrutiny, they demanded the list of donors supporting those groups in 17 cases. Despite assurances from the agency that the lists had been destroyed, a search requested by Congress revealed that at least 3 lists had survived. And of the donors on those lists, fully 10% of the individuals had been audited.

The rate of audits for ordinary Americans is about 1%.

Now, the House Ways and Means Oversight Committee is demanding that the Government AccoIRS intimidation on a whole other level.untability Office investigate the IRS to see why so many Tea Party donors were audited.

Washington Times:

“The committee uncovered new information indicating that after groups provided the information to the IRS, nearly one in 10 donors were subject to audit,” Rep. Charles W. Boustany Jr., Louisiana Republican and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee’s oversight panel, told IRS Commissioner John Koskinen at a hearing Wednesday.

“The abuse of discretion and audit selection must be identified and stopped,” he said.

Mr. Koskinen didn’t specifically address the accusations during the hearing, and the IRS didn’t respond to a request for comment late Wednesday evening.

[...]

Republicans said 24 conservative groups were asked for their donor lists. The IRS initially told Congress that those lists were destroyed, but when they went through their files they discovered three lists that weren’t destroyed.

Rep. Dave Camp, Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, asked the IRS to review the names on those lists to see whether any had been audited. The IRS reported back that 10 percent were audited — substantially higher than the average rate of 1 percent of average Americans who are audited each year.

Mr. Boustany said he has asked the Government Accountability Office, Congress‘ chief watchdog, to look at how the IRS Exempt Organizations Division decided whom to audit. He said the GAO review is underway and demanded that Mr. Koskinen offer investigators full cooperation.

“IRS has long insisted that Americans should not worry about political targeting at your agency because the IRS has layers of internal protections to guard against it. But in the course of our investigation, however, we found that Lois Lerner acted in defiance of these internal protections,” Mr. Boustany said.

So not only was asking for the donor lists in the first place a violation of regulations, the evidence strongly suggests that the IRS tried to intimidate Tea Party donors by auditing their tax returns.

FEC chair warns that conservative media like Drudge Report and Sean Hannity face regulation --- like PACs

By Paul Bedard
Government officials, reacting to the growing voice of conservative news outlets, especially on the internet, are angling to curtail the media's exemption from federal election laws governing political organizations, a potentially chilling intervention that the chairman of the Federal Election Commission is vowing to fight.

“I think that there are impulses in the government every day to second guess and look into the editorial decisions of conservative publishers,” warned Federal Election Commission Chairman Lee E. Goodman in an interview.
“The right has begun to break the left’s media monopoly, particularly through new media outlets like the internet, and I sense that some on the left are starting to rethink the breadth of the media exemption and internet communications,” he added.
...All media has long benefited from an exemption from FEC rules, thereby allowing outlets to pick favorites in elections and promote them without any limits or disclosure requirements like political action committees.
But Goodman cited several examples where the FEC has considered regulating conservative media, including Sean Hannity's radio show and Citizens United's movie division. Those efforts to lift the media exemption died in split votes at the politically evenly divided board, often with Democrats seeking regulation.
Liberals over the years have also pushed for a change in the Federal Communications Commission's "fairness doctrine" to cut of conservative voices, and retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has delighted Democrats recently with a proposed Constitutional amendment that some say could force the media to stop endorsing candidates or promoting issues.
“The picking and choosing has started to occur,” said Goodman. “There are some in this building that think we can actually regulate” media, added Goodman, a Republican whose chairmanship lasts through December. And if that occurs, he said, “then I am concerned about disparate treatment of conservative media.”
He added, “Truth be told, I want conservative media to have the same exemption as all other media.”

Harry Reid Scolds Press For Being Too Fair To Republicans

By Brendan Bordelon
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reprimanded MSNBC’s Chuck Todd — and indeed, journalism in general — for being too interested in treating Republicans fairly, claiming reporters “won’t call things the way they actually exist.”
Todd sat down with the Nevada senator on Thursday for a wide-ranging discussion. At one point, the reporter asked Reid about the lack of bills or other activity emanating from the U.S. Senate.
Reid blamed recalcitrant Senate Republicans for holding up bills in committee. “You don’t believe Democrats play any role in this?” Todd asked. “It feels like a tit-for-tat game,” the reporter added, explaining that Democratic leadership has sometimes made it difficult for Republicans to amend bills important to them.
“You know, one of the problems with the press, modern journalism, is everything is a tit-for-tat,” Reid sneered. “You won’t call things the way they actually exist.”
“What has happened here is the Republicans have stopped everything from happening,” he declared. “So you can give me the tit-for-tat all you want, but the fact is we want to legislate. We want to legislate, we want to take votes.”

...The sense of urgency and unity that surrounded the claims backlog has been harder to find in this latest scandal, stoking disturbing questions about whether the administration is hoping or even encouraging that the crisis take an extended rest on the back burner.
“Dozens of veterans may have died while waiting for care on a secret list devised by VA bureaucrats to conceal actual wait times. Similar cases of deception are popping up around the country and most recently in my home state of Texas,” Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) told PJM today.
“Meanwhile, the president has called for urgent action on climate change while he jets to Bel Air and Beverly Hills for fundraisers and Harry Reid continues his obsession with the Koch brothers,” Cornyn added. “Where is the urgency while our veterans are neglected?”
CNN obtained internal emails revealing that top officials at the VA in Phoenix knew about and defended the practice of concealing 1,400 to 1,600 ill veterans who were forced to wait for months to see a physician. A retired doctor there told the network that the procedure was in place to circumvent VA rules about wait times.
“Congress should conduct emergency hearings to get the information necessary to fully root out these problems and President Obama should immediately designate an official responsible for implementing rapid changes,” Cornyn said in the wake of the “heartbreaking and infuriating” report. “This is not a time for more cover-ups, it is time for accountability.”

HGTV Cancels Show Over Hosts’ Stances On Abortion, Marriage: ‘If Our Faith Costs Us A Television Show Then So Be It’

By Alex Pappas
HGTV is canceling a planned home renovation show hosted by the Benham Brothers after liberal activists complained that they have a history of speaking out against gay marriage, abortion and divorce.
In a statement, David and Jason Benham said: “With all of the grotesque things that can be seen and heard on television today you would think there would be room for two twin brothers who are faithful to our families, committed to biblical principles, and dedicated professionals. If our faith costs us a television show then so be it.”
On Wednesday, the Home and Garden Television network posted on its Facebook page: “HGTV has decided not to move forward with the Benham Brothers’ series.”
The announcement came after the liberal activist website, Right Wing Watch, posted online a story headlined, “HGTV Picks Anti-Gay, Anti-Choice Extremist For New Reality TV Show.”
The story accused the brothers of being similar to their father, Flip Benham, an evangelical minister who leads an anti-abortion group. The story also reported that one of the hosts, David Benham, led a prayer rally in Charlotte during the Democratic National Convention and spoke out against gay marriage.
In their statement Thursday, David and Jason Benham said they are “saddened to hear HGTV’s decision.”
“The first and last thought on our minds as we begin and end each day is; have we shined Christ’s light today?” the statement read. “Our faith is the fundamental calling in our lives, and the centerpiece of who we are. As Christians we are called to love our fellow man.”
They added: “Anyone who suggests that we hate homosexuals or people of other faiths is either misinformed or lying.”

HUD Looks for Housing Discrimination for LGBT

By Timothy Birdnow

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is planning to focus group LGBT people to determine if there is bias in rental housing for this class. According to the Washington Free Beacon:

"The department posted a 30-day notice in the Federal Register on Monday, explaining its intention to interview 60 LGBT potential renters and 15 heterosexual renters, and document their experiences in big cities.

“The department is conducting this study as part of a larger effort to study housing discrimination,” the notice said. “As part of that research, the department would like to learn more about the process that people use to search for housing.”

“Specifically, we are interested in the manner in which people identify themselves as lesbian, gay, or transgender when searching for rental housing,” HUD said. “The full project is to conduct in-person testing for lesbian and gay people in at least two major metropolitan rental markets and transgender people in at least one market.”

I have worked in in the real estate rental market for over 16 years and have never had someone go out of their way to identify their sexual or gender preferences. I have had a few applicants tell me they were gay, and that was primarily to explain their requirements (a one bedroom apartment for two people, for example.) Nobody just blurts out "I'm gay" much less "I'm transgendered". That happened to me only one time, when a tenant called looking for another apartment and said, "I just had a sex change operation" to which I merely grunted in acknowledgement; what is there to say? Congratulations?

That was the only time it came up. And there really is no reason for it to come up; the law is quite clear in how this sort of thing is to be handled. You treat a transgendered person in the same manner you would treat anyone else. It isn't something that requires any guidance, and it is not something that normally impinges on ones business practice. We do have the Fair Housing laws, and those laws are tested on a regular basis by agents of the government.

And yet HUD wants to push the issue. According to the Free Beacon:

Why? It's not enough to maintain privacy and receive equal treatment, but now we must celebrate someone's particular situation. Why spend millions of dollars (the tab for this little program is $3 million for phase 1 and $2 mill for phase 2 for the LGBT research alone - the total program cost since 2010 is $22 million) to learn what has already been recorded by government testers?

So why are they doing this?

Why did Harold Hill campaign against a pool hall in River City Iowa in The Music Man? Yessir, we got trouble! But happily our hero Barack Obama will have the answer!

The Left is gearing up for a major push in this area, the next "civil rights" struggle, intended to make gender specifics a thing of the past. The Brave New World they seek will be a place where the individual gets to be his own god, where a man clicks his heels together three times and says "I want to be a little girl" and voila! Her fondest dream has come true. A world where the will triumphs over the tyranny of reality. Where self-delusion aided by science serves as the new high priest for the god of Man and Womyn.

Studies like this one are designed to give ammunition to the activists for future battles. The "researchers" know that LGBT tenants will complain bitterly of their treatment no matter what; they know that what they are doing is outside of the norm and salve their own consciences by directing their pain outward. There will be much talk of subtle discrimination, micro-aggression, meaning none that is actionable and yet it will be too much, according to the Progressives. There will be a push for new laws and regulations. In the end not just tolerance but celebration will be demanded of others.

Rights do not obligate positive actions from others.

Who Owns One-Third of American Land -- And How It's Holding Us Back

By Amy Payne
Did you know that the federal government owns nearly one-third of U.S. land?
What are they doing with it, you might ask. And the answer is certainly not making the most of it.
In fact, true to form, the federal government is getting in the way of domestic energy and American jobs.
“Inaccessibility and unnecessary regulations inhibit economic growth in various parts of the country,” says Heritage expert Nicolas Loris, the Herbert and Joyce Morgan Fellow. He points to a recent study showing that “opening up offshore areas for drilling in the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf — just one region where offshore drilling is possible but not permitted — would create 280,000 jobs in that region alone.”
While U.S. oil production has gone gangbusters in recent years, most of that production has been on privately owned land.

Loris says that “a major reason that production on federal land has lagged behind is not a matter of economic viability or location but rather inefficiencies on the part of the federal government.”
It only makes sense that areas where the states have more control are far more productive. When the oil is in your backyard, you have the most to gain from an economic boom – and you have the incentive to make sure energy production is done in an environmentally sound way.
To see how federal lands lag behind, take this example: Total daily federal onshore oil production is only about one-third of what is produced every day at North Dakota’s Bakken formation alone.

Was an EMP Attack Just Tested on the United States?

By Jason Kissner

An unsettling series of events arguably bearing on national security transpired last week that the MSM hastened to paper over. On April 30, the FAA, as a consequence of “computer glitches”, halted outgoing flights at LAX as well as other airports including PHX, SFO, SJC, SLC, LAS, and SAN.

An NBC report May 2 remarked:

A relic from the Cold War appears to have triggered a software glitch at a major air traffic control center in California Wednesday that led to delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights across the country, sources familiar with the incident told NBC News.

On Wednesday at about 2 p.m., according to sources, a U-2 spy plane, the same type of aircraft that flew high-altitude spy missions over Russia 50 years ago, passed through the airspace monitored by the L.A. Air Route Traffic Control Center in Palmdale, Calif. The L.A. Center handles landings and departures at the region’s major airports, including Los Angeles International (LAX), San Diego and Las Vegas.

On May 6, Mac Slavo, writing at SHTFplan (linked at Drudge), followed NBC’s reporting with:

The Air Force officially denied that it was a U-2 spy plane, claiming they found the glitch but provided no reason for what caused it:

It’s still not clear why the U-2 flew into the L.A. Center’s airspace, or why it didn’t give advance warning of the flight, as per usual. According to NBC News, the nearby Edwards Air Force Base and NASA’s Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center (located at Edwards) “have been known to host U-2s.”

But an Edwards rep said no such planes are assigned to Edwards, and a NASA rep said that none of their U-2 planes were flying on Wednesday.

The U.S. Air Force, on the other hand, confirmed that it had sent out a U-2 plane that day — but denied to that the spy plane caused the airport confusion. The Air Force Times has more:

Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren confirmed that there was a U-2 operating in the area. The Air Force “filed all the proper flight plan paperwork … in accordance with all FAA regulations” and was conducting a routine training operation, Warren said. The FAA has issued a statement saying technicians have “resolved the specific issue that triggered the problem,” but the agency did not say what the problem was. FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown declined to comment about whether the U-2 was connected to the computer problems at the control center.

There is therefore some reason to entertain skepticism with respect to the U-2 explanation.

Perhaps coincidentally, less than 24 hours before the LAX shutdown, passport scanners went haywire at each of the UK’s major airports.

Was this coincidental timing, or, returning to Slavo:

With the revelation this week that Russia has deployed strategic bomber fleets for fly-by’s along our West Coast to gather intelligence and test their capabilities, is it possible that someone flipped a switch to see what would happen?

The Air Force likely knows what caused the outage but refuses to share details, which suggests that either the United States was engaged in a military exercise and they want to keep it under wraps, or, it was the Russians and going public could further inflame the already heated geo-political climate.

Both the United States and Russia have advanced stealth and jamming systems, either of which may have been responsible for the LAX outage. But one particular technology stands out, especially considering that Airforce technicians had to step in to resolve the issue.

The United States, Russia and China have been testing non-nuclear capable electro-magnetic pulse technology that can be deployed either via a missile or a attached to an airplane while it travels in proximity to a particular target. Unlike the nuclear-trigger Super EMP Weapons capable of taking down the electrical infrastructure of an entire country if detonated about 200 miles above the earth’s surface, non-nuclear EMP technology is a line-of-sight weapon that can be directed at a specific city, building or computer system.

In the United States a similar weapon is called CHAMP (High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project) and is manufactured by Boeing.

We hit every target we wanted to. We prosecuted everyone. Today we made science fiction into science fact.

We took out everything.

Clearly, the U-2 explanation wouldn’t account for the UK glitches. And, it strains credulity to suppose that US military activity would explain the UK glitches.

What does this leave us with? More US government conflicting stories, Russia, and the distinct possibility that the outages were attributable to EMP love taps.

Of course, it could all just be a massive coincidence, but even if it is, there is still a salient point to make. What sane person believes the “flexible” fascist Obama/MSM would tell the truth if it were a hostile EMP test?
