The President’s Profound Statement on the Downed Plane in Ukraine

Sometimes a man’s ego gets so inflated that other people … are to be brushed aside.~Louis L’Amour

RUSH: Here’s President Obama, by the way, Wilmington, Delaware, port of Wilmington, he spoke about the downed Malaysian Airlines passenger jet in Ukraine.  Listen to the profundity here of the opening line.  Are you ready?  Just listen.  It’s about 27 seconds, but just listen. I mean, this is raw intelligence.

This is the kind of intelligence, folks, that we expected back in 2008.  This is what they all meant when they said, “He’s a man unlike any who has ever walked among us!  This is a man who is so much above us that we can just barely strive to keep up, knowing full well we never will.

We are always going to be in his wake!

“He’s always going to be so far ahead of us that we’ll be scratching our heads, but thankfully so that we are at least in his midst and alive at the same time he is.  He is what we all waited for!”  Here, you’ll hear it. It’s encapsulated here as a response to the jet being shot down in Ukraine, the opening line of the statement.

OBAMA:  It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy.  Right now we’re working to determine whether there were American citizens on board.  That is our first priority, and I’ve directed my national security team to stay in close contact with the Ukrainian government.  The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why.  And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of the passengers wherever they call home.

He goes out there and says, “It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy,” and then he goes perfunctory for the rest of the 25 seconds and then he started telling jokes and going lighthearted and yuk-yuk about why he was in Wilmington, Delaware, in the first place.  So it was clear that his statement on the jet was a perfunctory thing.

“It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. … The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why.  And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of the passengers wherever they call home,” and bam! He was off.  So much so that even that paragon of journalistic talent Piers Morgan has tweeted his abject shock and dismay that Obama would be so cavalier about this.

Background: Russian crimes

Now, the Chechens, I know they’ve got a grievance.  Let’s not forget something here.  Way, way back in the early days of Vladimir Putin the Chechens kidnapped and held hostage a bunch of kids in a Moscow opera house.  Putin was so ticked off by this that he mass murdered everybody in there, including some of the kids.

They tried to get as many of them out as they could, but what he did was, they found a way to weaponize fentanyl.  Now, fentanyl is a really powerful opiate.  It is used for pain relief for end-of-life cancer patients in the form of a patch on the arm.  Sometimes it can be injected IV, but it’s really strong, and they found a way to weaponize it by making it a gas, and they pumped weaponized fentanyl (which a chemical weapon) into the place.

Nobody knew that this had been done.  I think we’ve probably done it, the United States has done it, but it’s never been used, and I don’t think anybody had any proof heretofore that Russia or anybody else had succeeded in weaponizing this substance.  But the way it kills is it shuts down the respiratory system. You stop breathing.  So that’s what they did. The Russians just pumped it through the ventilation system of, I think it was, the opera house.

Now, obviously the Chechens have been holding a grudge and they’ve been angry since before that happened.  But this is curious. When I start trying to figure who could make this happen in order to provoke other action, that’s the long shot.  ‘Cause you have a commercial airliner shot down.  Granted it’s provocative.
