Top 10 major media cover-ups of 2014
WND's annual review presents news that wasn't 'fit to print'
December 31, 2014

1. Republican betrayal of midterm voters

For longtime conservative activist Richard Viguerie, the Republican congressional leadership’s budget deal with President Obama after historic GOP gains in the 2014 midterm elections was nothing short of a monumental betrayal.

“I don’t know any other way to say it than that they lied to the American voters,” Viguerie told WND.

2. Obamacare lies

By the time videos of the candid admissions of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber surfaced, it already was clear to many Americans that Obama wasn’t truthful when he promised they could keep their doctor, they could keep their health-care policy, their costs would go down $2,500 a year and the annual deficit and the overall debt would drop.

Now, here was the mind behind the Affordable Health Care Act admitting not only that Obama’s declared promises weren’t true but that the crafters of the law knew that the only way the bill could pass would be to mask its features and hide the true intent of its authors.

3. President Obama’s sleight-of-hand to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens

Everyone knows that after repeatedly insisting he didn’t have the power to change immigration laws and effectively grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, President Obama went ahead and signed executive orders doing just that.

AMNESTYTRAINOr did he? The reality, as first reported by WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi, is that Obama used a sleight-of-hand in an apparent attempt to avoid constitutional conflicts, ordering a series of memoranda instead, including a key memo by Department of Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson.

4. President Obama’s ‘enemies list’

In 2013, the Obama administration drew heat for seizing two months of telephone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press. Then came the revelation of extensive Obama Justice Department spying on Fox News reporter James Rosen, including tracking his movements and seizing two days of his personal emails.

This year, an explosive new book by former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attikisson put more of the pieces together, presenting evidence that the Obama White House, not unlike the notorious Nixon administration, has an “enemies list” of reporters and activists who threaten its agenda

5. Racial strife created by Obama administration

As an African-American who rose to the pinnacle of his profession as director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Ben Carson is in a position to assess racial relations in America, and he thinks that despite the hope of a great leap forward with the election of Barack Obama in 2008, relations actually have gotten worse.

“I actually believe that things were better before this president was elected. And I think that things have gotten worse because of his unusual emphasis [on race],” he told radio host Hugh Hewitt.

6. Militarization and nationalization of local police

The Ferguson riots drew attention to the Pentagon’s 1033 program to help arm local law enforcement agencies with surplus military equipment. Ferguson also prompted a major surge in distribution of lethal firearms, with the the federal government shipping nearly 4,000 more assault rifles to local law enforcement agencies in the subsequent three months.

7. Muslim persecution of Christians in the Middle East

At the beginning of 2014, Open Doors’ World Watch List monitoring persecution of Christians found the number of Christian martyrs was twice as high in 2013 as the year before. Islamic governments and groups once again were responsible for the vast majority of deaths and persecution around the world.

8. New scientific findings that further undermine global warming fraud

President Obama believes “global warming,” now more commonly referred to as “climate change,” is the “one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other.”

Pope Francis plans to publish an encyclical on “climate change” that will inspire action at the 2015 United Nations meeting in Paris. He contends “climate change, the loss of biodiversity and deforestation are already showing their devastating effects in the great cataclysms we witness.”

But scientific findings continue to refute the widespread claim that the “debate is over” and there is a “consensus” among scientists that mankind is destroying the planet.

9. The agenda of Common Core

There’s a battle over the federal Common Core State Standards Initiative for public schools, with supporters labeling opponents “right-wing nuts” and “black helicopter” types.

But the ad hominem attacks only reinforce the claim of opponents that Common Core is the product of progressive elitists who want to put all children under control of federal government bureaucrats. The opponents point to many other examples, such as the liberal think-tank Center for American Progress discounting them as only a “tiny minority,” claiming such views should be ignored because “the children belong to all of us.”

10. An estimated 93 million American adults are not working while the government declares only 5.8% of Americans are unemployed.

WND long has reported the true unemployment rate is in double-digits when the number of workers who are working part-time or have dropped out of the labor force are taken into account.

The unavoidable truth is that more that 93 million Americans 16 and older have not participated in the labor force this year.

Joel Gilbert takes viewers on a humorous and horrifying journey across American to expose what’s at the end of Obama’s progressive rainbow in “There’s No Place Like Utopia.” The DVD is available exclusively at the WND Superstore!

According to John Williams, an economist known for arguing the government reports manipulated “shadow statistics” of economic data for political purposes, decreases in the unemployment rate as reported by the BLS have become virtually “meaningless.”

Williams argues the real unemployment rate for November, for example, was 23 percent
