| The Petraeus Affair is a hall of mirrors, full of so many distractions that the truth cannot be perceived. Nearly the entire pundit class is consumed with following the many titillating and alarming questions being raised. They are legitimate, but they are also distractions from a very, very big reality, that is so unpleasant that it requires a powerful and brave mind to see beyond them. Fortunately, for those willing to listen, a truth-teller, who sees the underlying reality, no matter what the heck was going on among the Real Housewives of Centcom, is available to explain things

Lifson is one of a diminishing numbers of truth tellers. And you know, don´t you...that we are living in the last days of Rome? The orgiastic excesses are flashing before us.
The barbarians are not just within our gates but roaming the halls of power, whispering into the ears of our corrupt elite. Perhaps the best we can hope for now is that they will save us the task of finishing off the perfidious quislings among us before we rise up and finish them off, as we will.

Most days very little happens.
I was so hoping that something massive would happen before I die.
....and I´m really old.
1- The Israeli / Pal thingee. Please, I´m beggin´ you....either fight it out or shut up about it.
2-The Crusades ! As a Catholic School kid, I studied all about the Crusades but never thought I´d get a chance to fight in them. 7 years in Iraq & Asscrackistan struck that off the bucket list.
3-The Whole "Marxist Revolution" myth. Perhaps we can fight that one out in the next few years. It sure would be worth it. Or....we could just leave our children in slavery and destitution.
If Gen. DP can speak the truth then we will have a really big problem that we need to address right now.
Good luck with that.

Petraeus had better testify publicly. This behind doors with different stories coming out is not safe for him.

To the end of our world comments, no offense meant but - December 22, 1944, facing the largest offense on the western front, ill-equipped, surrounded, low on ammo, no hope of air resupply, General Tony McAuliffe answer to the ultimatum by the Germans was ´nuts´. That is the American way. No need to surrender just because things aren´t going our way at the moment.

I sent this to a couple of fellow Ldotters:
Personal opinion: This is all about blackmail, pure and simple. I have nothing but disdain for General Petreaus´ actions; he betrayed his position and subsequently our country by thinking with his ´´little brain´´. The Hubs could have been busted in rank had I written a bad check, much less had an affair with a subordinate.
That said, I am not blind to the fact that it is human nature for anyone to stray outside the bonds of marriage but (as we were lectured by PIAPS) that is a private matter. IMHO, Petraeus was blackmailed into silence until after the election. Having just completed his review of Benghazi – paid out of his own pocket from what I have read – I believe the findings were devastating to this administration so they pulled a Chicago move and blackmailed him. This story is just bullshoot eyewash.

Odd, a mere general getting such tut tutting and no fuss raised with fdr, jfk, slick willy and probably other one or two presidents. Now all of the sudden it is a big deal. The moron in the white house is stealing us blind and lying like a rug and the press is giving him a pass. Not going to worry about a general and his mouthy tell all companion. This second term of the moron is going to be a nightmare.

First, Aye Aye to #10.
Second, General Petraeus lied on orders from the administration in order to perpetuate their lie about Benghazi, under duress of revelation of his relationship with Paula Broadwell. The administration then threw him under the bus immediately after the election. Now, he has nothing to lose by telling all, thus avenging the administration´s betrayal, and, if done in closed session, he is not impeded by his national security constraints.
Methinks the administration tugged on the wrong cape.

Petraeus has already testified under oath that the mob that killed 4 Americans was due to a YouTube video. He will not commit perjury and change his testimony. Hate to say it, but Obama and Co. will skate on this. And I don´t doubt they have more to hold over his head---these people are ruthless.

Rush said he doesn´t think Gen. P will perjure himself by now saying it was not the movie that set off Benghazi. We will see, but if he would tell the TRUTH, it would go a long way toward saving his reputation and showing he can step up and be a real man of character. And then the liars would all be exposed and could be dealt with accordingly.
But I think he will keep on lying.

What a nasty web this former General and his wife are in now, and all because they allowed themselves become a part of this thug administration. He took the offer of Sec.Defense, and she was given a cushy D.C.job. They were then hooked. Then the thugs moved him to Dir.FBI, which had been held by Panetta, and moved Panetta to Sec.Defense where he could play havoc with the military. In the meantime, the General is under their thumb in DC with the FBI. Pure evil, but the General should never have stuck his toe into the vile waters of thuggery and believed he and his family would be safe.
What is he going to do now? He has a wife, two children and a brand new son-in-law who do not want to die yet. What would you do?

It was a very dark day for America when the DemocRATS were allowed to steal the election for Obama in 2012. The Petraeus/Benghazi affair is probably just scratching the surface of the evil inside the Obama regime.

They´ll probably pull that from him anyway so might as well spill the beans. Then write the book.

ACTS OF TREASON
Timeline:
Obama was gun and missile running....(Lochkeed supplied)
Petraeus meets with Romney for VP slot
7/13 the Ethicist letter appears in the NYT´s a fraudulent letter probably from The WH...as The Sword of Damacles over Petraeus
8/6 Obama scoffs that Romney "thinks" Petraeus will be his VP
Benghazi 9/11 rape and murders happen as payback...Stevens for Kaddaffi
Petraeus signed on to the Obama coverup to cover his own indiscretions (Obama White House blackmails and threatens Petraeus for political control and to exact his ruin)
Obama reelected (through fraud) 18 million new Republucan voters enrolled...where or where did they go???
Petraeus submits letter of resignation with affair as excuse.....to aviod missile running exposure ( which many knew of)
Locheed new CEO submits resignation letter for affairs ( supplier of missiles and guns to Obama) now excuses himself to Congressional investigation too ( he thinks)
* Other Considerations:
.Obama rebels take out and kill and rape Russian allie Kaddaffi (turning LIBYA over to the Muslim Brotherhood)
.Obama running guns to Russian allie Syria in attempt to take down Assad and bring Syria under Muslim Brotherhood control...and get to the prize Israel
.This was a Russina sponsored attach in Bengazi...payback for what America did to Russia´s surrogate Kaddaffi...a murder and a rape for a murder and a rape...Kaddaffi begets Stevens...
. A victory lap to to rub it in ...and humiliate America,,,.,,Russian nuclear sub off our East Coast...election Day

From Lamecherry
"So for a short review, a synopsis, so all can look the expert, Obama tries to get Chris Stevens kidnapped while he is worried about David Patreaus in bed with Mitt Romney, so Obama sends in the FBI via conduits to "investigate" things as the cat fight kitties give a cover reason for all of this. In the meantime, Patreaus to save himself from being blamed for allowing Obama to arm and train terrorists which got Stevens murdered, starts feeding information to Mitt Romney on all of this to head CIA under a Romney regime, not knowing in trying to save himself, that Obama has a sword over Patraeus in all of this sex stuff, just waiting to cut him off after the election theft, as things start to unravel due to the work of this blog concerning ANALGATE.
ButtreausGate is about the cover up of ANALGATE in which Dave´s Deep Throat got him into trouble."

Before America embarks on changing the concept of marriage, I hope they will at least agree on examining cultures that do not define marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman. In their eagerness to achieve their goals, the pro gay marriage enthusiasts are marching towards what they perceive as progress and modernity while ignoring lessons from other cultures, history, basic human nature and the horrific and negative unintended consequences of redefining "marriage". Islam´s definition of marriage is one man and up to four women

During the highly publicized exchange between Bill O´Reilly and Laura Ingraham on gay marriage, O´Reilly made this statement: "There are Bible thumpers, and all they do is say, ´I object to gay marriage because God objects to it.´ You don´t win a policy debate in America with that." Really? Before central control out of Washington was imposed in 2003, policy arguments for criminalizing homosexual acts were won explicitly "with that." And because of "that," the idea of gay marriage has been unthinkable throughout the history of the American nation.

Months after moving in, a burglar broke into the house and made off with some valuables while his mother-in-law was home alone. She heard him and then saw him run away.

It´s one thing for President Obama to be cocky and overstate his prowess at governing. People are used to politicians grabbing credit, and besides, you can always rationalize when it comes to explaining why things didn´t quite work out as you claimed they would - "the sequester ate my recovery" being the latest successful-enough example. But sports is something else. The basketball either goes through the hoop or it doesn´t. That´s why President Obama´s history of braggadocio regarding his prowess at hoops is having a potent effect on his overall public image, especially with those who are favorably inclined to him.

During his two day flurry of fundraising in Northern California, the President of the United States took it upon himself (and allow to be released to the public - not all of his fundraising comments make it to the masses) to praise the attractiveness of Kamala Harris, California Attorney General (snip) The remark, predictably, generated a little of what Allahpundit called a ´Blue on blue food fight." I suspect that was the intention. The president´s image as a manly man took a beating when he missed 20 of 22 basketball shots, all recorded on video.

We have already seen Peak Obama; from here on, it´s going to get rougher and rougher for Barack Obama. Even worse, the one word he must fear the most has just been uttered by a man regarded as a bit of a truth-teller among liberal elites. Joe Klein, the celebrated author "Anonymous," who wrote the best selling, truth-telling book Primary Colors about the 1992 primary campaign that brought us President Bill Clinton, has made it ok for liberals to apply the word "incompetence" to the Obama administration. This represents something of a breakthrough. Until now, it has been taboo

The CEO of Starbucks basically told a shareholder that if the shareholder believes in traditional marriage he should dump his Starbucks stock. Historically the job of the CEO has been to make money and increase shareholder value. It would seem telling people who don´t share the CEO´s personal beliefs, whether it´s gay marriage or abortion, to dump the companies stock is not a pro-shareholder action. This is another example of the liberal belief that everything belongs to liberals because they´re just so darn much smarter than the rest of us

News is breaking out all over: global warming stopped 20 years ago. A political earthquake has resulted from a feature story in the Economist magazine because the Economist used to be a consistent cheerleader for global warming activism. Doubts about global warming used to be censored by its London editors, one reporter confided to Stephen Hayward. So what will voters do to Democrat candidates in 2014 and 2016 when the former realize that the Democratic Party was lying to them? Is it time to run away from the issue for Democrats, journalists, and Hollywood personalities?

This a major victory that has attracted little media attention at a time when the MSM narrative is focused on same sex marriage splitting the Republicans, and the inevitable tide of history sweeping away the evangelical wing of the GOP into the dustbin of history, or at least out of the its status as the party´s reliable base.

He is dealing with a nuclear-armed regime with a history of military attacks, provocations as a means of extortion, and brutality. (snip) In understanding the North Koreans, an unspoken factor that must be considered is that the North Koreans know they are phonies, that they carefully distort reality to impress the rest of the world with how successful they are, even in the midst of economic collapse and mass starvation.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.
