Many people and some other Tea Party groups will say, "Hey, not so fast! How come your group, the Fire Ants, are taking the lion's share of the credit?" Simply, the Tea Party Fire Ants deserve it. I state the following not to brag for our group (although there is some of that in celebratory fashion tonight, to be sure), but to show all Tea Party Groups what the trolls attacking the Fire Ants are terrified you may find out: you have power, and we have proven it can work. First with the Fox News Turn Right boycott (driving Fox down 22% for not obeying the will of it's viewers as legal boycotts are wont to do) and now the upcoming vote for a Benghazi Select Committee. Read and look carefully. This is how it's done.
I will phrase it thus to drive the point home, as an example of effective conservative activism that YOU must do: Name one other group that
1. waged a non-stop campaign on Twitter where for every night - every night - for almost a year and a half demanding Congress have a Select Committee to investigate Benghazi? Wolf's HRes36 languished for a couple of months with 30 initial co-sponsors. It is now at 190 and has not grown even by one since Twitter suspended several Fire Ants, the causes for the suspensions remain unknown (see the blog post beneath this one - we feel certain the motivation on San Francisco-based Twitter's part was political). Thus proves what Rep Wolf seems to know: the lion's share for this moment for a Benghazi select committee must in all fairness, if any group can be singled out, must go to the Fire Ants - the timing of when the House Reps signed on and the circumstances show the causation to be plain. Coincidences don't work that precisely.
Every night Fire Ants, invariably led by Kathy Amidon - although I subbed for twice (and it isn't easy) - went after at least 40 GOP House Reps every night. That usually took two-to-three hours every night. For over a year. Even on Christmas Eve and Night some of us stayed the course to make a statement. Every single day and Kathy and some others have been online representing the Fire Ants on this for as much as 10-14 hours a day, all for Benghazi Truth. Know another group that did that? I didn't think so.
2. This blog produced for the "Twitter Tea Party Fire Ant Nightly swarms" literally hundreds of pieces of art about needing a select committee and the call for the Missing Survivor Witnesses - the latter of which is in no way resolved by the fact that there will be a select committee. We still want to know where those 33 people are and what they saw - and so should you. Know another group that produced that much media? I didn't think so.
3. Really, to confirm the above two points, the Tea Party Fire Ants has earned a staggering three unsolicited thank you letters from Congressman Frank Wolf, whose HRes36 for a Benghazi Select Committee, probably an unprecedented number up to this point for an activist group in one year (and make no mistake, we will now continue to push Rep Rice's HRes442 to take Obama to court for congressional overreach - for which he has already sent us one thank you letter for being instrumental in taking the number of congressional co-sponsors from 35 to 130 in a few short months). If trolls tell you the Fire Ants had nothing do with a Benghazi select Committee - and they have already started in with that bill on our Twitter hashtag #TPFA so you won;t follow the example - don't hesitate to say: "Congressman Frank Wolf says the Tea Party Fire Ants had a lot to do with this moment!"
We will present more details and what the Fire Ants will be doing to help the Select Committee keep its bearings in the coming days. But for now, let's take a walk down memory lane for the last year and a half. It's been a hell of a ride.
Thank you to all Tea Party Fire Ants #TPFA and friends for making this - probably historic - moment happen! God bless you all!
A SMALL example of the last 17 months. We could fill 100 pages with these kinds of things:
.... And now, on with the Benghazi Select Committee!
Kathy's strength is a HUGE contributing factor to our success!!!!!! YEAH! She rocks!
ReplyDeleteBut you already knew that!!
WHERE are the survivors?
ReplyDeleteWHY have they been silenced? Are they still alive?
WHY have their families been silent.... did they meet whatever fate the survivors did?
HOW MANY people are keeping these secrets? Or are they still around to keep a secret?
What was Boehner's role in not only this, but ALL other scandals involving Obama?

Hey there Proe, I have a question: Just how bad do you think the Select Committee will be maligned by the media? I think Mark Levin mentioned how they will be. Since you're in the media, maybe you have special insight into this that you can share?
ReplyDeleteThat depends entirely on what comes out of it. This info is brand new and I haven't been able to read the tea leaves re reactions inside the business yet, but my guess is that left "mainstream" will try to stay COMPARATIVELY quiet on it for a few days at least until the chairman is announced. One he is, if it is someone weak in the Ken Starr mode, they will say he is fair. If the weak guy gets strong or if someone like Gowdy is chosen, they will - and anyone can guess this - call the chairman a racist on a witch hunt, ruining fair and good people for his own disgusting political purposes. in other words, the usual shit. HOWEVER, if something truly damning comes to light fast, the media will continue to do what I predicted they would many months ago, indeed started to do as has been noted by others and up the stakes considerably: ditch Obama. he's becoming badly damaged goods now, and many inside the biz have started openly talking of "saving" the democrat party. In case nobody knows, Obama is now Jimmy Carter times ten. If our rioght plays this properly, Obama can be made to go down in public perception as the worst President in history. The economy is worse than anyone can remember except the very old, Obama lied about Benghazi and the witnesses are SO missing they might have been killed at Obama's instruction and when Arpaio breaks the birth certificate issue, it may well prove that Obama was never qualified to hold the office in the first place. Advice to the GOP and they better take it because the stakes are all or nothing - there can be no gentlemen in this game who win (they need to out-son-of-a-bitch the opposition): DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THE SCALE OF OBAMA'S SCANDALS, EXPLOIT IT. Come on strong, stay strong, get tough as hell and never, ever apologize. You *might* take a small hit in the short term but you will bury the democrats utterly by November. That is a GUARANTEE if you take this advice. It's so plain what needs to be done now it is essentially pathetic that anyone could be uncertain. If you engage in half -measures on scandals of this magnitude you will blow it by pissing off the GOP base like you have never seen and giving the left media just enough rope to hang YOUR political careers. The stakes are in the red line now. You cannot handle this "comfortably". You must either take it all the way or lose from the get-go. You have to come on like indignant gang-busters and play this as big as you can, 100% and keep your nerve to the end. Do that and you leave the democrats in a smoldering heap so bad it might even leave an easy open door for 2016. Obama has handed you a gift basket full of scandals. Do not take them politely: clobber him with it. LOUDLY. And if the media get smart about it, when on their talk shows question their humanity for the sick and starving and their patriotism for covering for the president that caused it. You can take this nation back for the GOP. Don;t lose your nerve. It's all or nothing. DO IT.
DeleteI want to reiterate some points you made for the GOP:

I don't know if my comment posted, so I'll try again:

It's bad enough when a regular person is told to "Release the people you're holding captive and/or silencing!"
ReplyDeleteBut it's a whole different world of "CREEPY" when a President has to be told to do such a thing!
And to think, there are people who enabled him to do such a thing via not vetting him, enabling his "administration". Hey MSM, that means YOU and even some in the Senate & Congress!
YOU ARE A PART OF THE MISSING BENGHAZI SURVIVOR SITUATION!
