Joe Wurzelbacher (Associated Press)
Does anyone remember back in March of this year? Back
when the story making the rounds of all the major media outlets, was
the report that someone had illegally accessed the private passport
records of candidate Barack Obama? Surely the records of Hillary
Clinton and John McCain had supposedly been violated also, but the
q u
e e r part of the story that caused it to go stale rather quickly? Was
the fact that two of Barack Obama's supposed contractors were
mysteriously dismissed before investigators could interview them
concerning their involvement in the breach of privacy involving all the
candidates passport records.
The media played the story of the
violated privacy rights the obligatory 48 hour run, and they milked it
for all the violations of supposed sensibilities that the liberal left
could ring from it, before allowing it to go away to lie and die by
itself with never any further inquiry into "who" had actually been
involved in these criminal acts. Or more specifically? Who and why and
for what purpose. And why once associations with the Obama campaign
were revealed by investigators, all aspects of serious inquiry slid
easily into yesterday's news and everyone moved on after that and the
story simply died.
Now fast forward to the present. October 15th
to be specific. Barack Obama is engaged in a walking tour of
neighborhoods in Toledo Ohio when he encounters one Samuel Joseph
Wurzelbacher. Who will here after and for ever more be known and
remembered as "Joe the plumber." Seeing the hoopla that afternoon, Joe
decided that he wanted to ask the would be president how his tax plan
would affect someone like him (Joe) who was a plumber and who intended
to hopefully buy his own (plumbing) business in the future. And the
answer that Barack Obama gave, literally became the "shot heard round
the world."
Attempting to be his affable self in front of the
cameras that day, Obama had let slip the confident facade of ease of
interaction with the people and he had attempted to honestly represent
his reasoning to Joe. But the problem was that in doing so, Obama had
revealed the real truth lingering behind the carefully crafted
representations and the campaign rhetoric designed to disguise the
reality. Obama as he himself explained it, has intents only of
"spreading the wealth around." Nothing harmful about that right?
Well
apparently nothing quite as harmful as reality is as potentially
politically damaging as the cold hard truth when mixed with reality.
Obama had slipped up and inadvertently spoken the truth to Joe. And the
resonance of what was said and the intended reference of what that
meant by Obama, quickly became two mutually exclusive realities in the
political world of double speak and veiled representations.
And
John McCain and others across the American political landscape
immediately recognized what had been said and precisely what that
statement represented in reality in the race for the presidency. Obama
had revealed by his own words what his true intentions for leading this
nation to the promised land in actuality were. And his path was as
clear as it had been described by his opponent for months. Obama was/is
a socialist. And he had just said so! He couldn't have done a better
job of it if he had spoken word for word from Marx's manifesto!
And
as some might rightly imagine, these revelations didn't set well with
the mass and mainstream media of America or globally for that matter.
Some commoner, some lowly little man from some obscure little place
like Toledo Ohio? Had suddenly caused the carefully crafted political
veil of the man who would be king to slip? And the unrepentant and
un-nuanced and unvarnished truth and reality was allowed to shone
through? Can't have that! I can hear it now, on the blackberries and
the cell phone calls to the media their field agents and personalities
and foot soldiers all along the unbiased and partisan ranks of American
media. Kill him! Do away with this little man! Get rid of this upstart!
Squash him into the ground and eradicate his memory from the collective
thoughts of those that we seek to control! (But first discredit him).
And
thus the onslaught of the American media machine began it's juggernaut
launch into what it does best. Misinformation and character
assassination. But wait.....? Can we accomplish the task without the
requisite necessities of information? Tarry not squires! Seeketh out
the informers and those in the seats of government power who have
access and knowledge and the data bases. Agreeth with them to slake
their thirst for future considerations, if only they will provide the
requisite necessities now, of revealing the inner most secrets of one
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher and what the public records data bases will
provide.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. As evidenced
by reports this morning, the life and privacy of one Samuel Joseph
Wurzelbacher has been offered up and provided to the media for the
taking. The story is really quite compelling. It can be reviewed HERE.
Where the lurid tales are once again revealed, of how politics are
really played by the big boys and how nothing is really private, as
long as you have the money or the contacts in government.
Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the
office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County
Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.
It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct
access to driver's license and vehicle registration information from
BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and
government business.
And what will be done about these
breeches of privacy and felonious violations of both state and federal
law? I am betting that not a Damn thing will result from these actions
being revealed and brought forth into the light. No one cares after
all, unless of course it is their own obscure and insignificant life
that is being spied upon by the powers that Be. And after all, this is
just an election for the presidency of the United States. And this
isn't Watergate. (or is it) Even if it does involve plumbers and
violations of the law and a man and his operatives who will do anything
including violation of the laws of the land to see him elected.
Post Script.
On a side note....when I first attempted to post my remarks this morning? I had the audacity to attempt to utilize the the word
"q u e e r" to convey the "strange and bizarre manner in which certain
aspects of the story concerning the passport investigation were
handled. Only to be notified by the Townhall.com word filters? That
"that" word is considered inappropriate language.
