In other words we don&#8217;t even know what we don&#8217;t know. Nor do we absolutely know what we think we know. Even what we think is absolutely false may not be true!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the point?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because the <em>Mainstream Media<\/em> (MSM) no longer has any credibility about anything, whatever they publish is justifiably subject to total disbelief and ought to be thoroughly investigated. In the case of <em><strong>DEFLATEGATE<\/strong><\/em>, a &#8216;scandal&#8217; name which the MSM itself made up, it is easy to perceive their self-made opportunity to capitalize on this year&#8217;s version of professional football&#8217;s <em>Watergate<\/em>. \u00a0Next up, somebody will be asking &#8220;<em>What did they know?\u201d<\/em>, and &#8220;<em>When did they know it?<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, what&#8217;s the larger point?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The whole episode is much ado about nothing. \u00a0Which begs the question: &#8220;Why?&#8221; \u00a0and more significantly &#8220;Why Now?&#8221; \u00a0And, of course, &#8220;Cui bono?&#8221; as always.<\/p>\n<p>In virtually every case of such a media-driven &#8216;scandal&#8217; there are much more serious things which are either being quickly covered up or in desperate need of a political red herring. \u00a0In this way the &#8216;scandal&#8217; of the week serves as both distraction and diversion. \u00a0The MSM is systematically used &#8212; both wittingly and unwittingly &#8212; to play the role of &#8220;Master Distracter&#8221;. \u00a0The MSM is an expert at creating diversions whenever they are necessary to abruptly change the national discussion. \u00a0Particularly when there are very important issues under consideration (such as recklessly starting a war with Russia, issuing illegal executive orders which legislate new immigration law, irresponsible raising of the debt ceiling), which will determine the very destiny of the nation, do these fake &#8216;gates emerge out of no where.<\/p>\n<p>While the nation&#8217;s press corp was grilling Tom Brady and\u00a0Bill Belichick about very single detail and nuance of how the footballs lost some pressure, Obama &amp; Company are imposing another round of sanctions on Russia. \u00a0The USA has already coerced all the usual suspects in ganging up on Russia in what amounts to a full scale economic war. \u00a0History clearly demonstrates that such damaging economic conflict almost always leads to armed combat, as in WWI and WWII-style.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama Administration has operated in this subversive fashion since day one. \u00a0A close examination of the public record clearly reveals a one-to-one correlation between their regular misdeeds and transgressions of law and completely manufactured events which pop up out of nowhere. \u00a0This website has chronicled a number of these red herring events which have routinely been used to distract and confuse the American people at critical moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multiple Agendas Operating Simultaneously<!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say that there are not many agendas, on various levels, operating at the same time. \u00a0Some have even mentioned that the NFL, by their odd conduct throughout this saga, may have encouraged the whole affair as a way of increasing viewership. \u00a0A hoax like <em>Deflategate<\/em> can go a long way in stimulating interest where there was none before. \u00a0Especially since neither the Seattle Seahawks nor the New England Patriots seem to enjoy much of a fan base outside of their respective locales, does this theory make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, this faked news story has monopolized an inordinate amount of the Patriot&#8217;s time and energy as admitted by Coach Belichick. \u00a0Therefore, a furtive plot by the opposition to sabotage the Super Bowl final is another explanation gaining traction. \u00a0So is &#8220;a scheme&#8221; to affect the odds and the outcome of the Super Bowl game in favor of the oddsmakers. \u00a0Likewise, those who have the most to gain by betting large sums on this <strong>premier\u00a0gambling event of the year<\/strong> have been proffered as possible perpetrators. \u00a0Given the exorbitant amount of money involved, this scheme is also quite plausible.<\/p>\n<p>Truly the list conspiracies goes on and on, but the one interesting likelihood is that each of them feeds off the other. \u00a0Certainly the MSM gains no matter who perpetrated the evil deed, if in fact there even was a perpetrator (and we sincerely doubt there was one). \u00a0Ergo, in any event the media benefits regardless of who or why this <em>game<\/em> has been run on the American public. \u00a0The MSM simply doesn&#8217;t care about arriving at the truth of the matter any time soon. \u00a0The more controversy and conflict around any so-called &#8216;scandalous&#8217; event the more hits and website traffic, the more Facebook shares and Twitter tweets, the more viewers and listeners.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the government always gains, too, from such ridiculous time-consuming endeavors which preoccupy the electorate. \u00a0Time taken away from necessary government scrutiny is always preferred by those in power. \u00a0The current administration has an extraordinary list of its own scandals and wrongdoings which have plagued it since Obama&#8217;s first inauguration. \u00a0The following ever-growing list of real &#8220;Scandalgates&#8221; have occurred in the wake of false promises &#8212; in two campaign seasons &#8212; to be the most transparent administration in modern American history.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>OBAMA Administration Law-breaking and Lawlessness, Fiascos and Debacles<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Using the\u00a0IRS to target Obama\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2013\/sep\/12\/emails-ois-lerner-specifically-targeted-tea-party\/?page=all\">political enemies<br \/>\n<\/a>\u2022 \u00a0Reckless and unlawful <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=2345\">NSA spying<\/a> on American citizens and foreign leaders<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Repeatedly and illegally\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/news\/articles\/SB10001424052702303650204579375310934336066\">rewriting<\/a>\u00a0the Affordable Healthcare Act<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Initiating undeclared wars in Libya and Syria<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Prosecuting illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Substantial increase of extrajudicial killings by the unlawful CIA drone assassination program<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<strong><\/strong>Benghazi\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/12\/18\/60-minutes-benghazi-error-of-the-year_n_4465483.html\">debacle<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/dick-morris\/196734-dick-morris-clintons-benghazi-cover-up\">cover-up<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Associated Press reporters\u2019 phone records scandal<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0ATF \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=232\"><em>Fast and Furious<\/em><\/a>\u201d fiasco<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0HHS Secretary Sebelius\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/05\/13\/us\/politics\/health-secretary-raises-funds-for-health-care-law.html?_r=0\">solicits<\/a>\u00a0large donations from companies to save\u00a0<em>Obamacare<\/em><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/2013\/06\/pigford_the_unexamined_obama_administration_scandal.html\">Pigford scandal<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Immigration Enforcement \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/366776\/timeline-obama-administrations-war-immigration-enforcement-andrew-stiles\">relentless subversion by DOJ<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0GSA Administrator resignation in the face of blatant waste of taxpayers\u2019 money<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/justice-departments-scrutiny-of-fox-news-reporter-james-rosen-in-leak-case-draws-fire\/2013\/05\/20\/c6289eba-c162-11e2-8bd8-2788030e6b44_story.html\">Justice Department<\/a>\u00a0monitoring reporter James Rosen of FOX News<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/news\/articles\/SB10001424052970204884404574366664026140786\">Cash for Clunkers<\/a>\u00a0debacle<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0\u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/monsanto-protection-act-5-terrifying-things-know-about-hr-933-provision-1156079\">Monsanto Protection Act<\/a>\u2019<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Indefinite Surveillance via the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/truth-out.org\/news\/item\/17070-indefinite-surveillance-say-hello-to-the-national-defense-authorization-act-of-2014\">National Defense Authorization Act<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/specialreports\/solyndra-scandal\/\">Solyndra<\/a>\u00a0and other solar company financial scandals<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0BP Gulf oil spill gross\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/templates\/story\/story.php?storyId=130390111\">misrepresentation<\/a>\u00a0and mishandling<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0US Federal Government used to promote the LGBT agenda<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Posting a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=3044\">fraudulent and forged copy of Obama birth certificate<\/a>\u00a0at WhiteHouse.gov<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Obama\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2012-10-01-at-5.17.52-PM.png\">birth place<\/a>\u00a0questioned according to his own Harvard Law Review entry<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0CIA\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rt.com\/usa\/obama-cia-unprecedented-action-senator-034\/\">Spying<\/a>\u00a0on the Senate<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00a0Disastrous rollout of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=2294\">Obamacare<br \/>\n<\/a>\u2022 \u00a0Shamelessly using an <strong>uninvestigated<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=3715\">Sandy Hook<\/a> &#8216;massacre&#8217;
