With the establishment media's (and
thus your) attention absorbed by the Newtown, CT school massacre and
political campaign for gun control as a convenient distraction, the
Department of “Justice” has taken the opportunity to inform Paula
Broadwell's lawyer that no charges will be filed against her.
(Broadwell was the mistress and hagiographer of former media darling
General David Petraeus. Oh, how that fickle establishment media turns
on people! So like a catty high school clique! Conveniently, Petraeus'
story is that his sexual affair with her only began after he left
active service in the military- he's still a reserve officer- meaning
he wouldn't be exposed to military prosecution for the “crime” of
adultery. I suspect he's lying about that.)
Apparently emailing someone that you
can make them “go away” isn't a scary enough "death threat" to
warrant a Federal trial. (Unless you're a leftist, of course. Then
anything goes.) But it was enough of an excuse to overthrow the head
of the FBI's hated rival agency, the CIA.
There has been some scuttlebutt that
elements within the CIA helped oust Petraeus. Maybe someday we will
find out.
One thing the whole affair underlined
yet again is the fact that the FBI outranks the U.S. Congress. When
the Petraeus affair hit the news, we heard whines from the likes of
Senate “Intelligence” Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-
CA), complaining that they weren't notified.
Well, so what? When it emerged shortly
after the airliner suicide attacks of 9/11/01 that the landlord for
two of the hijackers living in California was an FBI informer,
Congress demanded that the FBI produce the informer and his agent
handler for questioning. The FBI flatly refused, the Congress
harrumphed, and slunk off with its tail between its legs. The issue
was never mentioned again in the establishment media. [See “THREATS AND RESPONSES: THE INQUIRY;Congress Seeks F.B.I. Data On Informer; F.B.I. Resists,” NYTimes, 10/6/02.]
In other words, the FBI, a secret political
police agency, outranks the national legislature of the U.S.
You don't see the secret police running the show in places like China! In most countries, the government controls the secret police, not the other way around. Here, the secret police agencies are states within a state.
And how's this for cheek: just days later, the then-head of the FBI, the execrable professional oppressor Louis J. Freeh, had the nerve to attack Congress for underfunding the FBI. And they ate that crap instead of demanding his head on the spot.
How pathetic American politicians really are. But they're great at imposing longer and longer prison sentences on us who resist them, or smoke pot. Or letting music corporations imposes fines iin the hundreds of thousands of dollars for downloading a few dozen songs. (An actual case.) Or immunizing the phone companies that aid and abet massive, warrantly NSA spying. Or locking up people for life without trial (you have to call them a "terrorist" first).
What, finally, can you say about such a bunch of pompous, cruel weasels?
