STEVE PIECZENIK TALKS

On Behalf of those of Us Who Were in Counter-Terrorism,   I  Would like to dedicate this “Oldie But Goodie” 1964 Hit:

SILENCE IS GOLDEN to Senators Saxby Chambliss [R-Georgia]; Richard J. Durbin [D-Illinois]; Vice Pres. Joseph Biden; Rep. Peter T. King [R-NY] and Sec State John Kerry/State Dept.

By now,  you have learned one simple principle from me: “Terrorism is the creation of fear.”
It’s a tactic used to paralyze an opponent through words,  actions, or  implications.

  What is not—is  a group of ‘nervous nellies’ shooting off their collective mouths about impending ‘terrorist attacks’ all over the North Africa,  Middle East and especially America.

  In the case of the aforementioned legislators with special recognition of the most absurd co-conspiratorial nonsense ever pronounced by a Georgian legislator since the Civil War is Senator Saxby Chambliss’ in depth description of ‘chatter‘ heard at the NSA electronic surveillance just like the Pre-9/11 ‘chatter’ by ‘presumed terrorists’….hmmm.

Without the aid of any terrorist group,  including the ones that USG created like Al Qaeda, and many other erstwhile ‘allies cum enemies’,  Chambliss,  King,  Biden and the State Dept EFFECTIVELY CREATED A SCENARIO OF FEAR AND PARANOIA unjustified by any SPECIFICALLY ACQUIRED INTELLIGENCE.

  All the intel was vague and ambiguous.   But Sec State Kerry,  who has not yet learned how to be an effective leader or manager,  [after decades on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee] PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED THE CLOSING OF 22 US EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES.

  More valuable information was delivered in that inane PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT than was provided in the Benghazi Cover-Up.

  Now any so-called ‘terrorist’,  ‘rogue operator’,  ‘criminal group’ can TITRATE the PROPER AMOUNT OF FEAR –JUST ON THE INTERNET in order to shut down our embassies and ‘cause a mini-panic’ in the US.

  Stupidity and ignorance are no excuses for what had transpired.

  Once again,   the Obama Administration demonstrated a lack of sophistication and knowledge about how to manage a simple trail of ‘ambiguous SIGINT, ELINT’ ==INTELLIGENCE.

This administration,  as well as others over the past three decades,  have spent obscene amounts of billions of dollars of our tax money and gave Top Secret Security clearances to over 1 million Contractors [just for counter –terrorism].   I would suggest that the most basic of lessons:  KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!!!

  In other words,  in the absence of knowledge or counter-terrorism experience which is clearly event in throughout this administration---- I caution to remember that “SILENCE IS GOLDEN!!”

So that you don’t do more harm than you have already done,  creating unnecessary fear,  concern and paranoia about an event that will not take place---and BTW –what is an American Citizen supposed to do if there were to be ‘a Terrorist Attack’?

  Buy ‘Duct Tape’ a la Governor Tom Ridge’s famous advice after 9/11?
 

“SILENCE IS GOLDEN” was one of those Frank Valli & Four Seasons Hit Song in 1964 [written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crew] which pretty much explains what the future strategy should be for this NEOPHYTE GROUP OF  POLITICIANS  WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN CREATE UNNECESSARY CONCERNS FOR AMERICA AND INDIRECTLY ASSIST EVERY POTENTIAL TERRORIST GROUP IN THE WORLD BY THEIR “CHATTER” ABOUT NSA “CHATTER”.

Here are some  appropriate words of the song:
“A TALKIN’ IS CHEAP;  PEOPLE FOLLOW LIKE SHEEP. 

EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO…”

  As for me,  the words describe my attitude to this dangerous ineptitude:

"How many times did the Americans [ I changed the lyric from ‘she’ ] fall for this line?" 

"Should I tell the the Americans or should I keep COOL?"

"And if I tried I know that ‘this Administration’[ changed from “she’] WILL SAY I LIED [ my emphasis];"

"Mind your BUSINESS,  DON’T HURT THE AMERICANS,  YOU FOOLS!!!!"

"Silence is GOLDEN

But my eyes still see

Silence is golden, Golden 

But my eyes still see…"

The FOUR SEASONS and then the Tremeloes sang about our future (posted youtube video earlier).   But how innocent we were back then in 1964,  when we were just being lied to about a  NON WAR in a country Sixteen Thousand Miles away-VIETNAM!!!

“Oh, don’t it HURT DEEP INSIDE WHEN OUR GOVT LIES

To SEE OUR GOVT DO SOMETHING TO US [that we don’t deserve];

Oh, don’t it pain to see AMERICANS CRY?

Oh, ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE IS OUR GOVERNMENTS!!!”

  

So, for want of a better advice to those who thing they rule us with ignorance, arrogance and ineptitude:
  I repeat the refrain,

“SILENCE IS GOLDEN,  But my eyes still see

Silence is golden, golden, 

But my eyes still see.”

IMAGINE---my dear readers,  a great country like ours,  without an INEPT FEDERAL GOVT BEREFT OF ARROGANCE,  IGNORANCE and INCOMPETENCY!!

Now, that’s my kind of country!!!

Now back to an old, old goodie:

“But my eyes, have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.."

The Truth Is Marching On!!!
Glory,  Glory,  Hallelujah!!!! 

You get the rest…..
