Truth and Reality Update:
1. CIA Director: Enhanced Interrogations ‘Helped Thwart Terrorist Attacks, Save Lives’
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The CIA director said that enhanced interrogation techniques (EITs), condemned in a Senate Intelligence Committee report as ineffective, did help thwart terrorist attacks against the United States, capture terrorists, and save lives.
2. Corruption in Government Leaders and Journalism (AKA Treason)
Rush Limbaugh
Now, a question, ladies and gentlemen: Has the United States been attacked in a major terrorist plot since 9/11? It has not. Who do we need to thank for that? (interruption) You don’t think that we owe a debt of gratitude to the Democrat staffers on the Senate Intelligence Committee?
Bob Kerrey’s Op-ed
Bob Kerrey’s a former senator from Nebraska, many of you may know him as the guy who dated Debra Winger. That’s how most people know him in the low-information community.
He has an op-ed just ripping this committee to shreds, just ripping the committee staff to shreds for this report that they came out with yesterday, and he gives the reasons why, and he’s right on the money. They didn’t even interview anybody. They didn’t talk to anybody. It’s an opinion piece, and it is a get-even piece. It’s because the CIA and others thought there might be some serious intel leaks on the Democrat side of the intelligence economy and their staff. And so earlier this year there were clandestine investigations of people like Di Fi and others, and, boy, when they found out were they were fit to be tied and that’s why this thing happened.
3. Truth Update: Torture of Americans
Torture to me is being a family member of somebody who died in 9/11, either in the Twin Towers, the field in Pennsylvania, or the Pentagon. It’s trying to go to bed every night thinking about what they experienced at that moment when the planes hit the towers. Torture, to me, is what you go through each and every day trying to go to sleep as you think about the last moments of the lives of your loved ones or family members on 9/11.
First Responders
Torture is being a family member of an American beheaded on television by Al-Qaeda or ISIS or you name it — Islamic jihadists — and wondering what was going through their mind at that moment. Torture is then having that be the first thing on my mind when I wake up every day. That’s torture. And it’s every day. And it is every night. Torture is being the family member of a first responder on 9/11 as they gallantly, valiantly, courageously walked and ran into those Twin Towers looking for survivors, hoping to drag people out — and they never came out.
Torture every day is wondering what they went through.
I get up and I get to listen to how we’re mistreating — by depriving them of sleep — the people who did it. Torture, to me, is the utter frustration involved in watching various elements of our government bend over backwards to be nice, to have empathy, to be respectful to the people who did this to people I loved or members of my family.
4. Barack Obama Invitation to Terror and to Criminals: Come on In!
RUSH: Why would we do this? I mean, it’s bad enough that we are in effect erasing the border. That’s bad enough. But why are we openly, knowingly looking the other way when acknowledged criminals want to come into the country. Why are we looking the other way and saying “come on in.” Well, the “can’t discriminate against people” is part of it, but there’s a much, much larger reason for this. And, folks, it’s ideological.
RUSH: It’s from Breitbart. “Internal administration documents show the administration is considering allowing terrorists, transnational criminals, and anyone else who wants to enter or stay inside the United States to not even answer if they’ve ever been connected with a crime.”
Now, stop and digest that for a second. Breitbart has come across some leaked documents from the administration which indicate that the Obama Regime is considering letting terrorists, international criminals, transnational criminals, and anybody else who wants to enter or stay in America to not even have to answer questions if they’ve been connected with a crime.
“The internal Obama administration documents, obtained by Breitbart News through a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) source,” which means that there’s somebody in there that is literally outraged by this, which is kind of healthy to note that there is at least somebody at Homeland Security who came across this and simply can’t believe it and has decided to leak it to Breitbart. “Documents include a draft application for illegal immigrants seeking to stay in the country and future prospective immigrants seeking to the enter the country.” Legal and illegal, in other words, is covered.
5. Corruption in Journalism: Democrats Rip the Country on Jonathan Gruber Day
The Democrats, the main story, the lead story today, by design, is the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture, dumping on the Bush administration on “Jonathan Gruber Day.” Gruber, what’s happening out there is being dwarfed by what is happening with the release of how rotten and horrible this stinking country was when George Bush was president.
RUSH: Even now, even after six years of Obama, they’re toast if they’re honest about it. They have to misdirect. They have to cover up. They have to deflect. They have to lie about who they are and what they really want to do. I mean, if he was relying on the stupidity of the American people, he’d be bragging about how they were honest.
RUSH: Jonathan Gruber is testifying before a House committee on all the things he said about the American people and Obamacare, and what’s happening instead? The Democrats are blaming the Bush administration. The Democrats, the main story, the lead story today, by design, is the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture, dumping on the Bush administration.
This is the day that Jonathan Gruber is testifying before a House committee on all the things he said about the American people and Obamacare, and what’s happening instead? The Democrats are blaming the Bush administration.
CUMMINGS: As far as I can tell, we are here today to beat up on Jonathan Gruber for stupid, I mean, absolutely stupid comments. They were responsible, incredibly disrespectful, and did not reflect reality, and they were indeed insulting. Dr. Gruber does not speak for me nor the chairman of the other committees who worked tirelessly on this bill. Never once did I believe or did anyone suggest that we were somehow hiding our goals from the American people. But worst of all, Dr. Gruber’s statements gave Republicans a public relations gift.
RUSH: You see, that’s the rub. Worst of all, not the lies. He may have told lies. Not the fact that he’s lying about what 
he told Americans. No, no. The worst offense that this Gruber guy did, and that’s why he’s there to be beat up — how about that lingo from a member of Congress? “As far as I could tell, we are here today to beat up on Jonathan Gruber for stupid comments.” (laughing) No, the real offense was he gave Republicans a PR gift. That’s why he’s being thrown overboard. That’s why he’s being keelhauled under the bus.
That’s why he’s just being destroyed today, ’cause this guy couldn’t shut up, and he had to run around and brag about how they did this, because they did mislead the American people, on purpose. Gruber has admitted that he was telling the truth when he said all that on those YouTube videos, that he was not lying. But the worst part of it all is it gave the Republicans a PR gift.
GRUBER: I would say that I made a series of inexcusable and offensive comments –GRUBER: — where I conjectured — — with the tone of expertise –GRUBER: — to try to make myself seem smarter by demeaning others. And I apologize for that. But that my flaws as a private citizen, not a politician, not a political advisor, my flaws as a private citizen —- should not reflect on either the process by which the ACA was passed or the success of that law itself.
RUSH: Gee, you talk about a guy falling on the sword! (laughing) Here he’s got the former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucasians leaning down on him, looking down on him (imitating Cummings), “You idiot, you reprobate. We are here to beat you up because you gave the enemies of the ACA a huge gift.” But now is when he’s lying. Now that he’s under oath, ’cause clearly he was happy insulting people. He was happy acting smarter than anybody else. He was happy bragging how they relied on what he thought was the stupidity of the American people. But that’s not what happened. He had to lie to ’em. This guy is in so deep, as all narcissists end up being, that he doesn’t know where to go. So he’s just taking his medicine now. And he’s relying on his counsel to answer questions about how much money he was paid and all that.
6. New York Cigarette Taxes Killed Eric Garner
This is confusing, but these observations ferret out the truth.
RUSH: I don’t want anybody to misunderstand me here. There’s a lot of nuance here and a lot of ancillary points that I’m focusing on. I’m not saying that Eric Garner was killed for selling cigarettes. He didn’t die because he was selling cigarettes, untaxed or otherwise. He died because he resisted arrest and the cops — I still can’t believe the number of them. And you know something else that amazed me? This just an observation.
RUSH: We have a guy who died over a tax collection issue, but nobody will say that out loud… Did you see the number of cops that descended on this guy? Five or six cops on a guy selling loosies? On a guy selling cigarettes? What kind of orders must these cops be under?… New York state imposes a tax of $4.35 a pack. That’s the highest of any state. That’s on top of the local New York City tax of a buck sixty, which is also the highest of any city. The mayor, de Blasio, had just ordered the police to crack down on illegal cigarettes a few weeks before the Garner incident.
And then there’s this little tidbit. Do you know that if you go to the New York State Department of taxation and finance, you can find a section on confiscated cigarettes. And you know what happens to them? New York state resells them. “We have listed below current opportunities to buy cigarettes that were confiscated by the New York state tax department.” And then it says, “Who may bid? Bidders must have a current New York state Stamping Agent License.” And then they give their authority to sell: “Under Tax Law Section 1846, we’re allowed to sell cigarettes confiscated in accordance with judicial law.”
Now, the media has skipped over some details about Garner’s arrest. The police were sent to arrest Garner because local minority-owned businesses were complaining he was driving business away and that he was competing with businesses that sold cigarettes by selling illegal, untaxed cigarettes one at a time, loosies, so the cops were called. A second fact that the media is conveniently ignoring is it was a black precinct chief who ordered the police to arrest Garner, and a third fact is the arresting police team was under the supervision of a black female police sergeant.
