I don’t know what (or who) to believe anymore

Ted CruzTed Cruz.  Love what he says, loved his Senate filibuster, and love his recent voting record.  And I hate writing this story.

But something is wrong with the picture.  And it feels eerily familiar.

This story about Cruz and his wife has been out there for about 5 months but it got by me.  Fortunately, others didn’t miss it and pointed it out,  Another story (here) covers it from a slightly different angle.

Essentially, Cruz’ wife Heidi once worked for Merrill Lynch and is a Goldman Sachs Regional Manager, which is a little concerning, given, you know, the massive bailouts and their involvement with the Federal Reserve in deflating our currency and killing our economy.  However, she was also a member of a CFR task force that produced a report in 2005 called “Building a North American Community“.

This.  Is.  Very.  Concerning.


I, and many other Patriots, sharply criticized Texas Governor Rick Perry during his 2012 Presidential Primary bid, for his support for a North American Union and Trans-Texas Corridor/NAFTA Super-Highway, along with his hair-brained idea for Bi-National Health Insurance with our buddies in Mexico.

Talk about a sovereignty buzz kill.

Taking Cruz’ Canadian birth, his Hispanic (Cuban) origins, his Texas politics (Texas = Yes, Tex-Mex = No), his elitist Princeton and Harvard education, his GW Bush campaign role, his FTC employment, his 1998 private legal counsel to Congressman John Boehner, his elevated trajectory into the Conservative Pantheon, PLUS his wife’s uber-involvement in this sort of New World Order alchemy – the picture starts to get a bit more clear, or fuzzy, depending on your perspective.

To many on the Left, Barack Hussein Obama was a picture-perfect candidate for their cause.  To many of the Right, Ted Cruz has shaped up similarly; but could it be that both have some of the same negative, misguided qualities and establishment-elitist-insider sordid pasts, and that both are capable of fooling many of us for a prolonged period of time, at a time when we needed someone to be our savior?

Unfortunately, I’ve slowly become one of those jaded, self-conflicted citizens who no longer believes what he sees or hears – particularly from Republicans – and will doubt first then ask questions later.  Yet, in this case, I gave Cruz all the benefit from the get-go.  Well, I’m now doing an about face and doubting him, planning to ask the tough questions and do the research.

I’m officially off the bandwagon and on the fence, until I have reason to believe otherwise.

Ted (or Rafael) Cruz must be further vetted.
