House of Eratosthenes

It simply substantiates what should have been obvious to everybody: The Path to 9/11, original cut, contains lines of dialog that didn’t actually happen. The lines made the Clinton administration look pretty bad. So…Democrats in Congress wrote a letter threatening to pull a broadcast license or two — without specifically threatening to pull said license, mind you. In so doing, they struck these lines of dialog that didn’t happen, which would have made Clinton look bad. Thus advancing the notion that real lines of dialog, would have made President Clinton look good — again, without specifically going on record saying such a thing.

These are real trustworthy stewards of the public interest. Really. I’ll come out and specifically say that.

Because I’m being sarcastic.

Why the Clintonistas did not want you to see “The Path to 9/11”

“I don’t want any lies in there parading as the truth, that’s all.” With that, on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, former President Bill Clinton (the man impeached by the House of Representatives for lying under oath), struck again…Implicitly threatening to yank ABC’s broadcast license, several Democratic senators wrote [to Disney CEO and President Roger Iger], “Presenting such deeply flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public and to children would be a gross miscarriage of your corporate and civic responsibility to the law. . . . ” Where’s the ACLU when you need them?
:
Regarding the Clinton administration’s efforts, the 9/11 Report (pages 350-351) reads: “Before 9/11, the United States tried to solve the al Qaeda problem with the same government institutions and capabilities it had used in the last stages of the Cold War and its immediate aftermath. These capabilities were insufficient, but little was done to expand or reform them. . . . At no point before 9/11 was the Department of Defense fully engaged in the mission of countering al Qaeda, although this was perhaps the most dangerous foreign enemy then threatening the United States. The Clinton administration effectively relied on the CIA to take the lead in preparing long-term offensive plans against an enemy sanctuary.”

Also (page 358): “Responsibility for domestic intelligence gathering on terrorism was vested solely in the FBI, yet during almost all of the Clinton administration the relationship between the FBI Director and the President was nearly nonexistent. The FBI director would not communicate directly with the President. His key personnel shared very little information with the National Security Council and the rest of the national security community. As a consequence, one of the critical working relationships in the counterterrorism effort was broken.”

So if I vote for these clowns, I guess I get to pick between burning up in a skyscraper in a puddle of jet fuel, or leaping off said skyscraper, after some dirty little weird-beards crash a plane into it.

But the Democrats in charge will make sure if a movie is made about my demise, said movie will make the Democrats look good! Or else some broadcast licenses will get pulled. Wowee! No wonder they call themselves the party of the little guy. They really are little guys. Little, selfish, greedy, pandering, obsequious guys.

Oh well, at least when I jump off the building I’ll have full Medicare benefits…and maybe some reduced premiums. And as the air goes whizzing past my ears on the way down, I’ll take comfort in the fact that my Democrat Congress and my Democrat President did everything they could to prevent such a catastrophe. Or, if they didn’t, everybody will forget about it.

Thing I Know #121. One verifiable fact can sell a whole package of unlikely speculation. One appealing opinion can sell a whole package of outright falsehood.
Thing I Know #129. Leaders; votes; clergy; academics; pundits; prevailing sentiment; political expediency. Wherever these decide what is & isn’t true, an empire will surely fall.
