Years of Deceit
By Tammy Derouin
From the time we are small children we
are told and instructed on the importance of telling the truth. Early
childhood lessons instill the importance of honesty. If you are
wronged by a fellow playmate or classmate, you feel that everything
will be cleared up once the truth is known. When lies are told to
cover up wrongdoings and prevent punishment, the situation only gets
worse. It's bad enough when you are wronged but what if, during the
inevitable questioning, the one who wronged you, flat out lies? The
perpetrator of this wrongdoing, in an attempt to save his own skin,
decides to rewrite the story, blames you, destroyed evidence and may
have even added a few colorful, albeit fictitious details and then to
make it even more interesting, tries to get others to turn against
you.
These early life lessons, and how we
handle them, set the course our life will take and will determine our
individual characteristics. Will others want to gravitate towards
you or will they seek to distance themselves from you? Honesty and
living by the Golden Rule are good ideals to follow but it doesn't
mean that life will be easy. Unfortunately, we soon learn that many
people in this world find it easier and more rewarding to lie and
deceive others for their own personal or agenda-driven gain.
The gains and consequences from our
actions when we are younger seem minor in comparison to the adult
version of life. But, they are the lessons which form and shape us
into unique individuals. Life is an endless learning experience so it
continues to shape us by how we react and confront those who seek to
cause harm and wish to destroy us.
The truth doesn't always come to light
when we want it to and justice isn't always served in a timely
manner. It takes time to unravel years of deceit. We know the truth
is out there, we've watched in shock as it was either denied or
reconfigured. We've watched as individuals in our government have
walked away from all sorts of damaging scandals.
We are beyond a few shovel ready jobs
to unearth the truth, we need an excavation crew to break the ground
wide open. A crew consisting of detailed oriented individuals will
need to carefully sift through every layer. As they do, they will
reveal every scandal which has taken place over the past eight years.
It's up to us what we do with this information. Our country and the
American people had been a target of their very own government. The
long term effects of this targeting are yet to be determined. We
are just beginning to see the damage caused by lies and deceit.
This past week alone has produced some
very eye-opening information. The Obama administration pointed a lot
of fingers but now, some of those fingers are being turned right back
on them. An administration which used its power to unlawfully target
the American people, used its shadowy influence and its left-over
tentacles within the government to target the current president.
President Trump has been vindicated.
The truth eventually rises to the top
despite the efforts of so many to conceal it. There will be many
more jaw-dropping revelations ahead of us. We know the scandals
exist but to what extent may surprise even those who have been
following all along. Fast and Furious is once again making
headlines. There were far too many red flags including a contempt
charge against former Attorney General Eric Holder which just seemed
to be swept under the rug. Hopefully, it will now be examined a lot
closer.
What could possibly be the motive
behind a former president and his administration to deceive and
target the American people? What could be the motive behind Obama
and his administration to keep our borders unprotected and why do the
left-over tentacles in government wish to block basic vetting
procedures of those who wish to enter our country? As the layers are
peeled away, the eye-opening truth will be revealed.
“It takes many good deeds to build a
good reputation, and only on bad one to lose it.”
