The Obama/Holder Justice Department has proposed a revision to the Freedom of Information Act, allowing federal agencies to lie to citizens and the press seeking certain records, telling them the records do not exist.Speaking of federal law enforcement agencies lying to the American people, the proposal "seems curiously timed as momentum builds for a full accounting by the Obama administration on Operation Fast and Furious.."
The Justice Department has proposed the change as part of a large revision of FOIA rules for federal agencies. Specifically, the rule would direct government agencies who are denying a request under an established FOIA exemption to “respond to the request as if the excluded records did not exist,” rather than citing the relevant exemption.
The proposed rule has alarmed government transparency advocates across the political spectrum, who’ve called it “Orwellian” and say it will “twist” public access to government.
Even the ACLU is aghast at the proposal, claiming it “will dramatically undermine government integrity by allowing a law designed to provide public access to government information to be twisted to permit federal law enforcement agencies to actively lie to the American people.”
After months of stonewalling and obfuscation, and delivery of documents so heavily redacted as to render them useless, there is no doubt on Capitol Hill that the Justice Department is trying to cover-up the gun trafficking operation-gone-bad.Now obama and his felons-in-waiting aren't even satisfied with stonewalling, obfuscation, and rampant redacting. They want to be able to flat out lie about the existence of the documents in question.
The Obama administration sailed into office on a very thick carpet woven by media cheerleaders, with the promise to be “transparent.” Page after page of requested documents that were totally redacted, making them nothing more than large blocks of black ink on a white background, are not transparent. They are not even translucent.
So much for the most transparent administration in history. And so much for objective reporting.
As if that's not enough, the betrayer-in-chief snuck this one in under the radar. (H/T iOwnTheWorld)
The president has overseen a new executive order, via the Justice Department, to prohibit the mention of “Islam” in the training federal law enforcement training manuals. That’s right folks. Law enforcement training can no longer refer to Islamic terror as…well… “Islamic terror.”This is the same administration that was illegally selling assault rifles to Mexican drug lords which has resulted in the killing of innocent people, including an American Border Patrol agent.
Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole has confirmed that the Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam because some Muslim groups have claimed it is offensive. That’s like taking Racists out of the KKK. Or Italians out of the Mafia.
The terrorists must be slapping high fives behind closed doors. Thanks Allah. Thanks Obama. Score one major victory for CAIR. One major defeat for United States national security.
Interesting. The president has no qualms about shooting foreign terrorists on foreign soil, yet he caves to Islamic pressure inside the borders of his own country.
Organized Crime and the Drug Cartels should take a lesson from this. All you need to do is intimidate the government and complain that accusing Mexican and Colombian drug lords ... as being drug smugglers is OFFENSIVE. Being factual is unimportant. More importantly, we must not offend. We must capitulate to the people who hate us the most.
Here are a few facts taken from various sources (see below):
If you want to keep a track on the body count of Islamic terror, check this site.
- More people are killed by Islamist terrorists in one any one year, than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition, combined. (Note: That’s ISLAMIC terrorists)
- More civilians were killed in two hours on September 11, 2001, than in the previous 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland. (That’s by ISLAMIC terrorists)
- Islamic terrorists murder more people each day than the KKK has in the last 50 years. (Note: That’s ISLAMIC terrorists)
- Islamic terrorists have carried out nearly 18,000 terror attacks worldwide since September 11, 2001. Read it again. That’s Eighteen Thousand attacks worldwide by ISLAMIC terrorists.
- In the last ten years, more than 96,000 human beings have been slaughtered b y Islamic terror attacks. (Note: ISLAMIC terror)
- In the U.S., there have been twenty-one citizens killed in Islamic terror attacks since 9/11 by seven perpetrators. Another four were foiled before anyone was killed. (Note: ISLAMIC terror)
Where’s the outcry?
Where’s the outrage?
Hell, where's the coverage of these abominations in the mainstream media? Can you imagine the outcry and outrage if a Republican president did anything like this?
