If These Claims are Proven True….We’ve Just Uncovered Obama’s Next Huge Scandal

Posted by: Rick Wells Posted date: November 19, 2013





The U.S. government, in the final months leading up to the 2012 presidential election, released “faked” unemployment data. This is the revelation made in a bombshell report from the New York Post.
Think back to the precipitous unemployment rate drop between August and September of 2012, how it got under that elusive and important 8 percent mark with a 7.8 percent figure. The information arrived just in time to illustrate the “great job” the administration was doing on the economy and to remove the jobs argument from the debate, just before the election.
The headline today in the “New York Post” is quite clear, and leaves little room for misinterpretation or spin. It reads “Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report.”
It’s a pretty big deal when someone involves a supposedly objective government agency with the manipulation of what is supposed to be unbiased reporting, for the sake of a political advantage.
At the time, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch went on the record and skeptically proclaimed in a tweet, “these Chicago guys will do anything…can’t debate so change numbers.”
He was quickly vilified by the pundits and Obama media as an “unemployment rate truther.” Only in DC is being accused of telling the truth considered a derisive remark.
Jack Welch may be getting ready to “laugh best” as substantiating information is now coming out that indeed, the numbers for September 2012 were fraudulent.
The New York Post quotes reliable sources, saying, “The September 2012 job numbers were ‘manipulated’ and the U.S. Census Bureau, the government agency responsible for the report, knew it.”
The Post’s source is willing to go on the record to the Labor Department as well as Congress with the revelations of the falsified data if asked. He also said that the unemployment data manipulation continues to this day and that it is not the work of just one rogue employee.
Two years prior to the 2012 vote, the Census Bureau is reported to have discovered an employee manipulating unemployment data. In typical fashion, rather than correcting the problem, it was allowed to expand and escalate throughout 2012.
Cynics might go so far as to think that the initial discovery was a “trial balloon” to gauge public reaction and to determine how difficult it would be to expand a covert program designed to mislead the voting public.
It turns out that the employee caught faking the numbers, Julius Buckmon, told the Post that he did so at the direction of his supervisors. As unpopular as the word is when discussing Washington DC types, that supervisory involvement, if true, turns one man’s actions into a conspiracy.
The Department of Labor requires Census to achieve a 90 percent success rate on its interviews. This means that for every 10 attempted contacts, 9 must have been successful. Job status reports must be completed for all of those 9 households.
The Census department has six regions from which surveys are conducted. There were problems with insufficient return rates from the New York and Philadelphia regions. They fell short of the 90 percent target level.
Philadelphia determined that the most appropriate way for them to meet their obligation was to manufacture fake interviews. Buckmon said the phone conversation in which the decision to falsify the numbers went something along the lines of, “’go ahead and fabricate it’ to make it what it was,” he said.
A total of roughly 60,000 households are interviewed by the Census Bureau and each interview is weighted to represent 5,000 homes in the U.S. The data collected is used to tabulate an estimated unemployment rate. Buckmon was a real “go-getter.” He conducted three times as many interviews as were needed.
By falsifying the survey information, he was creating fictitious working people out of thin air, at a rate which would have been sufficient to impact the jobless rate.
The method was simple. If someone didn’t answer their phone or their door, Buckmon would just fill out the form on their behalf.
The Census Bureau employee states he was never told how to answer the question “employed or not, looking for work, or have given up.” Regardless of whether or not that is true, the Department of Labor maintains that the data manipulation would still be sufficient to falsely lower the unemployment rate.
The Census Bureau never disclosed the data manipulation information to the Labor Department, although normal procedure would have dictated that they do so. Then again, normal procedure would not have helped Obama get re-elected.
