Is there anyone else that is a bit mildly torqued that
censorship in America
seems to only apply to those who go against the “common collective” these days?
Now to be fair, it’s not just Facebook. We seem to be inundated with PC Police which has almost
become a cottage industry in this country. If you are in step with the current
political leanings, the world is your oyster; go against the grain, and you are
quickly shunned, or in the case of SpecialOperationsSpeaks,
subjected to a cyber timeout.
And what was it that caused such a drastic action?
Did they call for the violent overthrow of the government?
No.
Did they poke fun at former Facebook CFO Eduardo Saverin for renouncing his citizenship to save
tax money? No.
Did they ridicule Mark Zuckerberg's wife? No.
No, their crime was to post that little photo above on their
Facebook page!
I know, horror of horrors! You see, they had the unmitigated
gall of making a statement that went against the popular belief of President
Obama. This resulted in the photo being removed because, and I quote, “we
removed the following content you posted or were the admin of because it
violates Facebook’s Statement of
Right and Responsibilities”
Huh? Seriously? Is this the first page they have ever looked
at?
When the photo got uploaded back on their Facebook page, that’s when the
Zuckerberg hammer dropped from on high resulting in a twenty-four hour time
out.
Let that be a lesson to all of you who believe that you have
a silly 1st Amendment right. You do, just as long as you say the
right things.
The truth of the matter is the photo makes a valid point. The
president was all over the news that Team VI got bin Laden. Benghazi ,
not so much. Hell, even the crickets
have been silenced.
The President is the Commander in Chief and he is ultimately
responsible. The other day someone was commenting that personnel decisions are
not something that the president would get involved in so it was wrong to point
the finger at him. That is correct. On any given day that the decision is made
by local supervisors and you rarely hear a peep. However, this was not any
given day and the lead up to it was so clear that you could make a case against
a blind man for not connecting the dots.
- There
was an assassination attempt on the British Ambassador on
- The British Consulate subsequently pulled out in June 2012.
- There was an attack on the Tunisian Consulate in June 2012.
- The International Red Cross pulled out in August 2012 after being attacked by an RPG.
- The U.S. Consulate was attacked on two prior occasions with explosives.
- The
C.O. of the DOD Site Security Team requested that his team’s assignment in
- Requests were made to the State Department for additional security personnel which were also denied.
- The U.S. Ambassador personally requested additional security in August citing inability on the part of locals to provide adequate security.
The significance of this request cannot be stated enough.
For the President, and Vice President, and everyone else to say they didn’t
know is a lie. He would have been advised of everything listed above in his
daily briefings.
A U.S. Ambassador personally requesting additional security
is going to make it directly to the President’s desk. So, when the U.S. Consulate was attacked on September 11th,
2012 resulting in the deaths of four Americans it should have come
as no shock to anyone in Washington .
It was not a matter of if, but a matter of when it was going
to happen.
But according to the bureaucrats in D.C. there was no
discernable pattern there.
SOS is 100% correct, when those brave SEAL’s, Ty Woods and Glen
Doherty, called for help they were abandoned.
If the media won’t do its job, then it is up to all of us
Americans to demand what the President promised us in 2008, Transparency.
It starts with “what
did he know and when did he know it” and until we have those answers, we
must never let this issue fade from our minds and lips.
Despite what the fine, just slightly left of center, people over at Facebook believe.
