Opuscula

Scandal in media
If Trump did
What Obama did

WOULD-BE PRESIDENT-FOR-LIFE Barack Obama, speaking in South Africa, excoriates President Trump for failing to take Russian President Putin to task for trying to interfere in U.S. elections.
HYPOCRITE!

Obama interfered in Israeli elections. His efforts to get leftist Isaac Herzog into the prime minister’s residence failed and Benjamin Netanyahu stayed put.1, 2, 3, 4.

Obama worked to oust Netanyahu by illegally funding – with U.S. taxpayers dollars – support for Isaac Herzog and the left-of-center Zionist Union party composed, in 2015, of the Israeli Labor Party, Hatnuah and Green Movement.5 Netanyahu’s Likud party grabbed at least 29 of the 120 Knesset seats; Herzog’s Zionist Union managed only 24.6

Obama was no more successful in his efforts than “The Russians” were in the 2016 U.S. elections. John Kerry was U.S. Secretary of State in 2015. Kerry, a “Two-State” supporter, continually blames Israel for the Palestinians’ intransigence to discuss a peace agreement.7 Never mind that this is a gross canard.

Not satisfied with interfering in Israeli elections, the Associated PressA reports
    Officials say the Obama administration in its waning hours defied Republican opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority that GOP members of Congress had been blocking.

    A State Department official and several congressional aides said the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the money Friday morning. The official said former Secretary of State John Kerry had informed some lawmakers of the move shortly before he left the State Department for the last time Thursday. The aides said written notification dated Jan. 20 was sent to Congress just hours before Donald Trump took the oath of office.

Fortunately, President Trump canceled this Obama largess of the American taxpayers’ money. The Times of IsraelB reports

    >The Trump administration has informed the Palestinian Authority that it is freezing the transfer of $221 million which was quietly authorized by the Obama administration in its final hours on January 20, a senior Palestinian source has told The Times of Israel.
    US officials conveyed to PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah on Tuesday that the funds were not expected to be handed over in the immediate future, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Obama’s muddled attempt to meddle in Israel’s election is nothing new.

The LA Times was one of several media outlets reporting on a database maintained by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.8, 9, 10

Levin’s database, according to the Times, shows that

    The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it's done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000, according to a database amassed by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.
    That number doesn't include military coups and regime change efforts following the election of candidates the U.S. didn't like, notably those in Iran, Guatemala and Chile. Nor does it include general assistance with the electoral process, such as election monitoring.

Embarrassing the U.S. A number of Democrats took issue with President Trump meeting with Putin. The meeting, they contend, lowers the U.S. in the eyes of the world.

Yet these same Democrats said nothing when Obama kowtowed to Saudi Arabian princes; princes of a country that is notorious for civil rights violations and a country that produced 9-11-2001.

Of course the princes were not the only ones to whom Obama bowed. The Atlantic11 listed the following Obama bows:
    2009: Obama bows to the Saudi King
    2009: Obama bows to the Queen of England (Trump did not)
    2010: Obama bows to a couple in Japan
    2010: Obama bows to the mayor of Tampa
    2010: Obama bows to the Chinese
    2012: Obama bows to Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon
    2013: Obama bows to then Cuban President Raul Castro

A FEW WORDS ABOUT OBAMA’S WALL

While Obama and the Democrats turn President Trump’s bordere wall into a Wailing Wall to reduce illegal immigrants, drugs, and weapons entry into the U.S., during Obama’s too long tenure in the White House he authorized US$75 million in aid to Mexico so Mexico could build a border wall on Mexico’s SOUTHERN border to keep out immigrants from Guatemala and points south.

Even Snopes12 admits The State Department is planning to provide $75 million worth of assistance to Mexico in the form of U.S. training and equipment in a joint effort to help secure southern borders and deal with issues of drug trafficking and immigration. The funds were disbursed while Obama was in office.

Once again, the leftist were silent.

Once again, Obama placed others ahead of America.

Had he put America first, the money would have been spent on the Mexico-U.S. border and Americans (and possibly some illegal aliens already in the country) would have been paid to construct the structure; pay that would have returned a small portion of the funds to the U.S. Treasury in the form of the U.S. citizens’ payroll taxes.

FINALLY, SPYING & EAVESDROPPING

The UK’s Guardian13 reports that

    The National Security Agency monitored the phone conversations of 35 world leaders after being given the numbers by an official in another US government department, according to a classified document provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
    The confidential memo reveals that the NSA encourages senior officials in its "customer" departments, such as the White House, State and the Pentagon, to share their "Rolodexes" so the agency can add the phone numbers of leading foreign politicians to their surveillance systems.
    The document notes that one unnamed US official handed over 200 numbers, including those of the 35 world leaders, none of whom is named. These were immediately "tasked" for monitoring by the NSA.

      All the spying on our allies cited buy the Guardian happened under Obama’s tenure in the Oval Office.

      Obama is a Democrat, therefore, Democrats were silent.

      Anyone surprised?

      PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.

      Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
