Obama’s Census Bureau “Faked” 2012 Pre-Election Employment Numbers

Before the 2012 elections, the reported unemployment rate dropped markedly with precious little to account for said drop.  Coming from this regime, the drop was too convenient for me to believe.  I suspected it was bogus (as I very briefly mentioned at the time).

It now appears my suspicions were right.

The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September [2012] — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.

And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.

Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.

And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.

“He’s not the only one,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous for now but is willing to talk with the Labor Department and Congress if asked.

The Census employee caught faking the results is Julius Buckmon, according to confidential Census documents obtained by The Post. Buckmon told me in an interview this past weekend that he was told to make up information by higher-ups at Census.

And the Instapundit reminds that Obama’s White House took the Census Bureau under its wing during his first term.  His take on this new revelation of faked employment numbers?

So with this and the IRS intimidation of the opposition, the asterisk on Obama’s re-election gets bigger. . . .

I would add that the blatant vote fraud in urban precincts also makes that asterisk rather large.

And with the pattern of using the federal government illegally and fraudulently to aid Obama and attack political opposition, I’m beginning to wonder if Obama can be impeached for racketeering.

Census Follies

In the brilliant 80’s TV series Max Headroom, “Blanks” are those who evade being documented by the government. Being a Blank was very much against the law, of course.

I’m beginning to feel like a Blank, at least as far as the Census is concerned.

No, I am not one of those who are refusing to answer the Census. Just the opposite. I do not yet know if I will answer each and every question, but I do want to be counted.

Yet I have not received a census form. I have not received a phone call, even though I am in the phone book. And the Census 2010 site is a joke. It seems to have everything on it except what do you do if the Census hasn’t found you. I could not even find a place where I could say, “Hey I’m here! Send me a form, you bureaucratic dullards.” Believe me, I tried yesterday evening and gave up.

And these are the sort of people who are going to run our healthcare? The Census Bureau has ten frickin’ years to prepare, and they can’t do better than this?

If I were paranoid, I’d think this is not mere incompetence. I’d think the Obama regime doesn’t want conservative Texans to be counted for political reapportionment. But surely not!

Franken Steals Another Senate Seat for Democrats

As expected, Al Franken has succeeded in stealing another Senate seat for the Democrats. Yes, I am being a bit dogmatic there. There is no question in my mind that Franken took this seat not because he received the most votes but because Democrats aggressively and unethically gamed the vote recount, the will of the voters be damned.

And, no, I will not leave the issue of election fraud alone. With the Senate seats already stolen, with Obama and ACORN gaming the Census, and with God-knows-what the Democrats will try to pull in the next two elections, in addition to blatant disregard of the Constitution, we are in danger of having a government without a shred of legitimacy after the next two elections.

I am not predicting that. I expect voter anger will overcome the Democrats’ electioneering in 2012 if not 2010. But with the Democrats being so successful in stealing elections and so willing to do so and now having the added tool of the Census, it is a danger.

Like I said, I will revisit this issue.

Judd Gregg, Obama, and the Census

Kudos to Judd Gregg for withdrawing his name from being considered for Secretary of Commerce.

I want to focus on one reason for his withdrawal because it is important to our democracy and won’t be going away. In his statement, Senator Gregg said, “I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there are irresolvable conflicts for me.”

The “Mainstream” Media hasn’t paid much attention, but the Obama Administration is seeking greater control over the Census. And you don’t have to be as paranoid as me to suspect they will do for the Census what Democrats have done for election after election – they will rig it.

And that really is just another form of election rigging as the Census, among other things, determines how much representation each state gets in Congress.

In fact, they have pretty much admitted they will attempt to rig the Census:

Under the new management structure, the director of the Census Bureau will report to “White House senior management” as well as to the Commerce secretary, where President Obama wants to install a Republican -- Sen. Judd Gregg -- who in the past has clashed with Democrats on issues related to the Census.

The Obama White House says the decision is based on the model used by the Clinton administration . . .

The run-up to the 2000 Census featured a pitched battle over whether to rely on the actual count of individuals, or statistical modeling that could produce more accurate results.

Democrats tended to favor the latter mechanism, since hard-to-reach people -- particularly minorities and recent immigrants -- are more likely to live in Democratic areas of the country. (The bureau eventually decided that only the actual count would be used in 2000.)

Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt downplayed the impact of the structural changes. He said President Bill Clinton had a similar flowchart in place, and pointed out that the director of the Census Bureau will still report to the Commerce Secretary.

In other words, the Obama Adminstration will try to rig the 2010 census just like Clinton tried (and failed thankfully) to rig the 2000 census – by counting phantom people in liberal urban areas.

Again, this is election-rigging writ large.

You will hear from me again on this.
