Too Clever,...By Half!?
October 22, 2012 | Doc Savage

Was the 'Video' Plan B? One of the most interesting aspects of the Benghazi tragedy is WHO originally came up with the idea of blaming a YouTube video trailer for the killing of four Americans? That 'person(s)' has never been named or explained.

There is a theory bounding across the internet (call it a conspiracy theory if you will) that there may have been a 'deal' set up to 'kidnap' Ambassador Stevens and then 'trade' him for the blind sheik. In steps Hussein Obama, our brilliant foreign policy guru and resident muslim President to broker the 'deal' saving Ambassador Stevens and clearly demonstrating his brilliant foreign policy skills just in time for the election. But the 'deal' goes south when Stevens is killed and amazingly beyond any believability Obama is INSTANTLY prepared to blame a silly video as the real culprit. How incredibly handy to have had that in his back pocket.

Just wondering if any of you had similarly noticed how extremely convenient and handy the excuse was to deflect blame away from Obama?

I think the Obama’s spin machine is always in “energy saving mode”, ready to be started at any time and deflect the blame for whatever from Obama. Hey, this close to the election, it may not be in “energy saving mode” but ready for instant use. That said, I find very interesting the idea that Benghazi could have been a kidnapping gone wrong, and that the original purpose was to free the Blind Sheik and boost Obama’s polls!

Take a deep breathe ... and stop making up conspiracy theories.

If Obama wants to trade the blind sheik, he will do it after the election.

This is why we need a death penalty. Keeping guys like the blink sheik alive only encourages hostage taking.

” - - - WHO originally came up with the idea of blaming a YouTube video - - - “

My guess is Valerie Jarret AND Axelrod.

IF there was a conspiracy it began with the film maker and whomever else he was working with from the beginning.

Strangest thing is that Obama and Hillry repeatedly said they had nothing to do with making the video. WHY? Why would the sitting president and his secretary of state need to say they had no involvement in the production of this video. Because they sure as heck gave it the largest promotion and advertising campaign ever given to a video.

Start back with the film maker his aliases.

Of course. It kills two birds. . . we can do away with free speech at the same time. The film’s a twofer.

:: there may have been a ‘deal’ set up to ‘kidnap’ Ambassador Stevens and then ‘trade’ him for the blind sheik. ::

They 7th Century mindset, bent on murder and mayhem, doesn’t think that clearly and logically. At best, they may have thought that their actions could terrorize the US into giving up the blind sheik for fear of another consulate attack.

Sorry, but these pre-medieval minds just ain’t that advanced.

Here is what we know.
The maker of this ‘film’ IS a convicted felon, an FBI snitch, and has been for years.
His partner is a falsestinian terrorist...who unfortunately for fibbi, happened to be Walid Shoebat’s first cousin.
FIRST they said he was an Israeli JEWISH billionaire...which suggests the original intent was to blame Israel for the anti-American protests.
THAT didn’t work, so they said he was a Coptic Christian dissident. Once again, Walid Shoebat exposed this lie. The felon is an Egyptian muslim.
He was ‘arrested’ and held incognito and will not see the light of day until AFTER the election...if at all.
The ‘film’ was leaked to an outspoken Egyptian muslim brotherhood cleric who just happened to have a very popular television show. He played it two days before 9/11.
The American Embassy in Cairo sent out an apology for the video BEFORE the start of protests in Egypt and sent their staff home early.
Put all these things together and you have a DELIBERATE setup to start protests on the arab street on 9/11, and yet there were NO protests in Libya...but we were TOLD there were by no one less than the president of the United States of America, who repeated it at the UN SIX times.
Now why do you suppose that was?

What evidence is there that the protest in Egypt had anything to do with film, other than the pre-apology from the embassy?

You’ve been following this the way it should be followed. Way to go. How does it feel to be a better journalist than all the former MSM combined? (softball question)

Doc, I too think believe the "swap Stevens for the Shiekh" story.

I believe MestaMachine has the facts exactly straight here.

However, we must understand that the "Muslims reacted to the video" explanation was BUILT INTO the plan from the beginning. That was going to be the ostensible explanation as to why Amb. Stevens was kidnapped. Of course, it was phoney from the word go.

But the fact that it was baked into the plan from the beginning explains why "it's the video! it's the video!" was all over the TV and out of the mouths of Obama's minions. That explanation was all set to go when the whole operation went south, courtesy of two SEALS protecting the Ambassador from what they believed were terrorist forces, which in fact were friends of Obama!

The pre-medievals didn't plan it. Someone in the White House did. I suspect it was either Valerie Jarret, or perhaps the whole plan was suggested to Hillary by her "body woman" Huma Albedin, a woman with known Muslim Brotherhood ties.

The cleric in my earlier post called for the demonstrations. HE blamed the film. He is very well known in Egypt, so he can whip up a crowd anytime he feels like it. HE used the film as the excuse for this one. It is WHO brought the silly, totally obscure thing to HIS attention we want to know.
And for those who didn’t notice, many of the demonstators had on Guy Fawkes masks and were spraypainting OWS graffiti on the embassy walls. ACAP> All Cops Are Pigs.

Kinda of a 9/11 celebration and wag-the-dog?

I could be convinced but, I don’t think so. That said, Occam’s Razor holds true in the most bizzare of circumstances.

The completely unexpected reporting by Walid Shoebat was the real fly in the film ointment. Once that fell apart, people started questioning everything.

Yep. They don’t much love him on the street. It’s the mb hierarchy that he is in tune and in touch with.

thanks for the ping. My “something is wrong here button” went off when the apology came out from the Embassy in Cairo...BEFORE. the attack.

You’ve done well laying the groundwork.

This looks like plans were in the making for some time, which would explain the pull-back in security.

Though all did NOT go according to plan, objective being to move weapons to Syria and setup a WH campaign foreign policy op.

This doesn’t make any sense.

I need to see how BHO would be a ‘genius’ for handing over KSM in exchange for an ambassador kidnapped off of US sovereign territory first.

And, for those at home counting, it’s been 41 days since US soil was invaded and four US diplomatic corps personnel killed and no response - military or otherwise - has occurred.

One of the inviolate rules of diplomacy is you don’t screw with someone else’s embassy, ever.

Least we can do is arrest everyone in the Lybian embassy here in the US. Not sure one of those even exists.
