After Edward Snowden’s revelations last year that the National Security Agency spied on Congress, we, here at The Cassandra Times posted a column on January 6, 2014 titled “Yes, the NSA Spies on Congress.” In that column, we stated:
“This revelation that the NSA listened to a large number of telephone calls placed from Washington during the 2008 election year means that members of the NSA bureaucracy knew very well the intimate details of both presidential campaigns of Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and Senator John McCain (R-AZ). A large number of telephone calls from the 202 area code during an election year is a treasure trove of blackmail material.”
“We here at The Cassandra Times believe that the Obama administration received from the NSA the same level of cooperation that was provided by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS audited and harassed ‘Tea Party’ members and conservative tax-exempt organizations and released their confidential financial and tax information to liberal groups. With its vast capabilities, the NSA rendered even greater services to the Obama administration. It is our belief that the FBI files that then-First Lady Hilary Clinton and her henchman Craig Livingstone possessed in 1993 allowed the administration of her husband Bill Clinton to select the ineffectual Senator Bob Dole as his Republican opponent in 1996 for an easy re-election. The blackmail material was used to keep Democrats in line and to intimidate Republicans during the Monica Lewinsky impeachment so as to allow Bill Clinton to avoid removal from office.”
“The FBI files in 1993 in the hands of Bill and Hilary Clinton made the third-rate burglary that was President Richard Nixon’s Watergate caper seem like chump change. What the NSA knows about the private lives of members of Congress would allow the ambitious and the unscrupulous to operate with impunity and to manipulate Senators and Congress Representatives like puppets on a string. It leads us at The Cassandra Times to sincerely doubt that the 2008 and 2012 were free elections as well as to doubt that there will be another free election in our lifetimes.”
Interestingly enough, one of our loyal readers, Andrew Mayfair, posted the following comment on January 7, 2014 at 9:49 pm
… Not to mention Justice John Roberts, who inexplicably found Obamacare to be constitutional, as a tax, though the governments counsel argued in their support of Obamacare, that it was not a tax. What does law or intellectual honesty hold, when weighed against blackmail?
As he explains below, Wayne Allen Root has come up with the same conclusion, which may explain the underlying reason for Chief Justice John Roberts’ logically-tortured opinion, which was nothing more than a life preserver to the sinking Titanic of Obamacare.

Has Justice Roberts Been Blackmailed by Obama Crime Family?
Wayne Allen Root
June 25, 2015
t’s time to start asking the question. It’s time to be cynical. It’s time to assume the worst of this government. Has Supreme Court Justice Roberts been blackmailed or intimidated? I would put nothing by this administration that lives and rules by the Chicago thug playbook.
Doubt me? On the same day that Justice Roberts and the Supremes upheld Obamacare again…the key IRS watchdog reported to Congress that the IRS purposely destroyed evidence of a crime.
Is the idea implausible that this same Obama administration that orders IRS attacks, then orders destruction of key evidence, would stop at nothing to save Obama’s signature achievement? Is it impossible to believe that Obama and his socialist cabal that learned from Saul Alinsky that “the ends justify the means” would hold something over a Supreme Court Justice’s head?
It’s time to ask the question loudly and boldly because something is clearly wrong in Washington DC. Is that the purpose of government agencies like the IRS and the NSA that are abusing our rights- to listen to us…to watch us…to find something we’ve done wrong…and then use it to intimidate, harass, threaten or extort key political figures so that Obama can “fundamentally change America”?
Because something clearly smells rotten in Washington, D.C. Like “the mafia delivering a dead fish to your door” rotten. We (conservatives) just won national elections in a massive wave…a historical landslide…we control both houses of Congress…we control the Supreme Court…yet we continue to lose every key vote in Congress and every key Supreme Court ruling. Suddenly when Republicans win elections…elections have no consequences. Doesn’t this seem odd? Doesn’t something smell rotten, like the fix is in?
Justice Roberts voting for Obamacare twice is as likely as me voting to save Obamacare. Like me, Justice Roberts is a lifelong dedicated conservative warrior. He was appointed by President Bush to become the key conservative vote in important decisions that effect “the fundamental transformation of America.” Justice Roberts was born, raised and groomed for one job in this life- to join that Supreme Court, strike down Obamacare, protect the Constitution and end big government overreach. Yet he is the man responsible for saving Obamacare- twice. His legacy as a “conservative warrior” will be that he protected big government, supported government overreach and helped to hasten the fundamental transformation of America. This doesn’t seem odd to you? This doesn’t smell rotten?
I have felt the same way about Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for years now. Something is wrong. All it takes to destroy America and pass Obama’s agenda is to control a few key powerful positions in DC. And all it would take to do that is blackmail. Find out the weak link of a key political leader or government official and hold it over their heads.
Am I being too cynical? Really? Did you think former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was a child molester who had gay sex with underage boys?
Because he sure had everyone fooled. He looked like a choir boy. But he clearly did something terrible that forced him to agree to pay millions of dollars in blackmail. And it’s odd that the government knew about it. How did they know to question him about taking his own money out of his own bank account?
Maybe they knew for the ame reason they knew General David Petraeus was having an affair. Maybe they know everything.
What makes anyone think the government and it’s 3-letter agencies (IRS, NSA, DOJ, FBI, SEC) don’t know everything bad about everyone in key positions in DC? What makes you think that blackmail isn’t happening every day to conservative politicians- except it’s the government doing the blackmailing?
You know…the same government that asked the IRS to target key critics of this President (like me) and then ordered the IRS to destroy the evidence. The same government that told you “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it.” The same government that swore there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq to justify a trillion dollar war. The same government that says there is no problem with $18 trillion in debt that threatens your children’s entire future. The same government that indicted both rating agencies immediately after they dared to downgrade the credit rating of the United States for the first time in history.
Just a guess, but here’s how I think it goes. I think they walk up to a key politician like John Boehner or Justice Roberts and they offer both a carrot and stick. They threaten to expose something terrible like an affair, or corruption, or malfeasance, or immorality that would shock the nation, ruin your career, destroy your legacy, cost you your marriage, destroy your relationship with your children and leave you unemployable by any respectable law firm or lobbyist. That’s what’s behind door number one.
Or if you see the light and vote our way, you get to continue playing big shot, your legacy is untouched, your family loves you, and you retire someday to a $5 million per year lobbying job (like Dennis Hastert). That’s what’s behind door number two.
Which would you choose?
Trust me- those options are being offered every day by the Obama Crime Family to key political figures in DC. Republicans are being blackmailed, intimidated, extorted and bribed. That explains Justice Roberts and the Supremes ruling against us again. That explains why we keep winning elections, yet we keep gaining nothing and losing everything. It’s all been fixed.
The Obama Crime Family is in charge.
