Government terrorism against the city of New York
Folks? Did you notice the lack of questions about The Obama Administration’s ordered buzzing of New York City with Air Force One at low altitude being chased by two American F-16s at a total cost of $357 thousand dollars from the Obama Suck-Up Press Corps yesterday at Obama’s self-congratulatory prime time self-back-patting-athon?
It never came up… surprise surprise surprise.
No questions were asked that were not approved by Obama ahead of time.
So much for transparency, Mr President, the Teleprompter in Chief.
A FED memo was obtained which is evidence the Administration expected the public to be panicked by their incredibly calloused and insensitive and money wasting stunt… a stunt that crowned the first 100 days of the most clueless President and Presidential Administration in the history of the country, in my opinion.
Since the Obama Administration has proven time and again their computer savvy and previous use of Photoshop, the excuse of wanting photos of Air Force One buzzing the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero is not believable. I see it as an act of deliberate domination of Americans by the President. A president who seems to relish the power of management via crisis. This time an act of Government terrorism against the city of New York.
Lets see what was reported by WCBSTV.com:
FAA Memo: Feds Knew NYC Flyover Would Cause Panic
Threatened Federal Sanctions Against NYPD, Secret Service, FBI & Mayor’s Office If Secret Ever Got Out
Furious Obama Apologizes: “It Will Never Happen Again”

NEW YORK (CBS) ― A furious President Barack Obama ordered an internal review of Monday’s low-flying photo op over the Statue of Liberty.
CBS 2 HD has discovered the feds will have plenty to question.
Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and a 747 from the presidential fleet to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay, but they still ordered the photo-op kept secret from the public.
In a memo obtained by CBS 2 HD, the Federal Aviation Administration’s James Johnston said the agency was aware of “the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes” in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor’s office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out.
“To say that it should not be made public knowing that it might scare people it’s just confounding,” Sen. Charles Schumer said. “It’s what gives Washington and government a bad name. It’s sheer stupidity.”
The flyover — apparently ordered by the White House Office of Military Affairs so it would have souvenir photos of Air Force One with the Statue of Liberty in the background — had President Obama seeing red. He ordered a probe and apologized.
“It was a mistake. It will never happen again,” President Obama said.
The cost of the frivolous flight was about $60,000 an hour and that was just for the presidential aircraft. That doesn’t include the cost of the two F-16s that came along.
The flight by the VC-25, a modified Boeing Co. 747, and two F-16 fighter jets cost $328,835, Air Force spokeswoman Vicki Stein said.
That includes $300,658 for the larger plane, which flew a three-hour mission, and about $28,178 for the F-16 jets, which flew 1.8 hours each, Stein said in an e-mailed statement.
The NYPD was so upset about the demand for secrecy that Police Commissioner Ray Kelly vowed never to follow such a directive again and he accused the feds of inciting fears of a 9/11 replay.
“Did it show an insensitivity to the psychic wounds New York City has after 9/11? Absolutely. No questions about it. It was quite insensitive,” Kelly said.
The mayoral aide who neglected to tell Mayor Michael Bloomberg about it was reprimanded.
A Clinton federal prosecutor who resigned in shame after orchestrating the pardon of a major league drug trafficker will head the Homeland Security agency responsible for overseeing lawful immigration to the United States.
