Glad to assist!
Oooweee! That’s a great find. From clear back in April 2008.
Here's one link ; I don't know what his source is yet :
(snip)....Timing: The assaults came exactly on the eleventh anniversary of bin Laden’s and al-Qaeda’s attack on America. If there was any doubt about the intent of the timing, the appearance of black al-Qaedist flags among the mobs removed it. The chanting of Osama bin Laden’s name made it doubly clear who were the heroes of the Egyptian mob. Why should we be surprised by the lackluster response of the Egyptian and Libyan “authorities” to protect diplomatic sanctuaries, given the nature of the “governments” in both countries? One of the Egyptian demonstration’s organizers was Mohamed al-Zawahiri, the brother of the top deputy to Osama bin Laden, and a planner of the 9/11 attacks, which were led by Mohamed Atta, an Egyptian citizen....(/snip)----------------- Storming Embassies, Killing Ambassadors, and ‘Smart’ Diplomacy (Victor Davis Hanson), National Review Online ^ | September 12, 2012 | Victor Davis Hanson Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 2:57:54 PM by neverdem
I don’t think it is coincidental, either.
We still don’t know who the idiot doing the embarassing tweeting from our embassy was, either. Funny how the press is now trying to tell us that we know everything there is to know about this whole affair when even this hasn’t been answered.
I don’t see a connection to Zawahiri’s brother and the Innocence Of Muslims video there.
We do know that the last idiot to Tweet from the Cairo embassy was Hillary Clinton. It doesn’t matter who exactly did the rest because Hillary is the boss of every embassy and her personal involvement via the last Tweet pretty much guarantees her knowledge and approval, if not direction, for the first string of Tweets.
Answering my own question.
Did CIA pick sanitize Obama’s passport records? The Brennan connection
Although at the time the State Department promised a full-scale investigation, the public was kept in the dark.
In July 2008, the State Department’s Office of Inspector General issued a 104-page investigative report on the passport breach incidents, stamped “Sensitive But Unclassified.” The report was so heavily redacted, it was virtually useless to the public. Scores of passages were blacked out entirely, including one sequence of 29 consecutive pages that were each obliterated by a solid black box that made it impossible even to determine paragraph structures.
Investigative reporter Kenneth Timmerman said a well-placed but unnamed source told him that the real point of the passport breach incidents was to cauterize the Obama file, removing from it any information that could prove damaging to his eligibility to be president.
According to the theory, the breaches of McCain’s and Clinton’s files were done for misdirection purposes, to create confusion and to suggest the motives of the perpetrators were attributable entirely to innocent curiosity.
Another thief enters the case
Within a few days, a new witness surfaced unexpectedly, providing evidence that breaching passport files was an offense being perpetrated by State Department officials on a massive and everyday basis.
The case centered on Leiutenant Quarles Harris Jr., age 24. Harris, who spelled his named differently than the officer rank, was a petty drug dealer and identity-theft criminal who never served in the military or in any police or fire department.
On March 25, 2008, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Officer William A. Smith Jr. of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department’s Narcotics Special Investigation Division stopped an oncoming vehicle that had tinted windows he believed were in violation of the D.C. Tinted Window Act of 1994.
After stopping the vehicle, Smith found the driver, Harris, and his female passenger had been smoking marijuana. Harris had stuffed in his jacket pocket a large clear zip-lock bag containing 13 smaller clear zip-lock bags, each filled with marijuana.
The affidavit of criminal complaint filed by Smith with the U.S. District Court specified that in the search of the vehicle, the officers found 19 different credit cards with names different from Harris and his female passenger. Also discovered were eight State Department passport applications, also in names different from Harris and his female passenger.
The officers further discovered four of the names on the passport applications matched the names on the credit cards. A check with American Express while Harris was still on the scene of the traffic stop indicated that some of the American Express cards in his possession, but not in his name, had recently been used and that American Express had placed a “fraud alert” on the cards.
Smith brought Harris to the D.C. Metropolitan Police Sixth District, where agents of the U.S. Secret Service, the State Department and the U.S. Postal Service questioned him. Harris’ involvement in passport application theft clearly made him no ordinary petty criminal.
According to the criminal complaint filed by Smith, Harris admitted under questioning that he obtained the passport information from an unnamed co-conspirator working at the State Department. The complaint said the passport applications were used to obtain credit cards in the names of the passport applicants.
Another unnamed co-conspirator working at the U.S. Postal Service intercepted the issued credit cards before they were delivered to the residences of the persons named on the cards.
What was clear from Harris’ statements was that breaching passport records at the State Department had developed into major criminal activity conducted on a continuing basis by State Department employees with access to the State Department’s Passport Information Electronic Records System, commonly known by the acronym PIERS.
What also was clear was that Harris had information related to the State Department employees who had breached Obama’s passport records and that he was cooperating with government officials.
Despite the objection of the prosecutors, the judge at his arraignment released Harris the next day on personal recognizance. He was ordered to return to court for a hearing in June 2008.
Key witness murdered
However, Harris did not live to attend the court hearing.
On April 18, 2008, he was found murdered in Washington, D.C., by a single bullet to the head in what appeared to be a drive-by shooting.
Who are you???
I am looking to see if I have another source that expands on it. It may be I mashed him in with the tele-islamist who had shown the video clips as if they were one and the same.
There’s no direct connection here- as you noted- unless Zawahiri’s brother really was one of the organizers in Cairo as the article claims, and the tele-islamist was not a lone wolf but rather a co-organizer, or at minimum a spokesperson for the event.
Admittedly it’s possible the tele-islamist was a lone wolf who came up with the video clips as his own excuse for raising hell and didn’t make a point to personally inform other organizers.
What’s weird is that there are many videos out there making fun of Mohammed or Islam, so why did he pick this one to blab about in the media?
Thanks justiceseeker93.
Is life resembling a bad spy thriller novel lately?
Right, read the story...The detective on scene says he knows of no connection between Harris and the passport access case.
There clearly was a connection. The police are not in the business of opening up their case files to reporters.
Double tap in front of his church, for credit card fraud? More like he was there to get his cover story, and was executed.
Do you think the proposed head of the CIA was just running a simple temp agency? or just maybe “the analysis corp” AFAIR was involved in things just a bit trickier.
Security Breach May Lead To Obama Natural Born Status
Source: The Right Perspective (.org)
A series of 2008 security breaches at the US State Department may indicate that someone knows Barack Obama‘s true status as a natural born citizen – and is waiting for the right time to reveal it.
The breaches, which occurred on January 9, February 21 and March 14 of 2008, were done by two “low level” contractors and another in a mid-level position with no management role. Then- State Department spokesman Sean McCormack admitted that officials only became aware of the incidents on the afternoon of March 20.
According to a CNN report of the incident, “a State Department source said passport files contain scanned images of passport applications, birth date and basic biographical information, records of passport renewal, and possibly citizenship information.”
It was shortly after this security breach that Internet rumors that questioned the “natural born” status of Barack Obama began circulating.
An investigation of the incidents revealed that all three major presidential candidates – Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain – had their passport files compromised. In addition to the the contractual employees, the investigation revealed that a State Department employee had also looked at Mrs. Clinton’s file. That individual, a passport office trainee who inadvertently breached Mrs. Clinton’s file during a training session, was “immediately admonished, and it didn’t happen again,” said McCormack.
At the time, McCormick said the breaches seemed to be “impudent curiosity” among the contract workers, who were not connected. Despite a very vocal call for a full investigation of the breaches by all three presidential campaigns, the incident was quickly forgotten.
News of the security breaches prompted a statement from then-Senator Joseph Biden, who had not yet been chosen as Obama’s running mate. Biden, who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had oversight of the Foreign Service and the passport office.
“I am deeply troubled that State Department contract employees sought access to Sen. Barack Obama’s passport files,” the statement from Biden read. “Firing or disciplining those responsible is an important first step. But we need to understand why these employees had access to this information in the first place, why they sought the information, and why it took over two months for this matter to come to light. I urge the Secretary of State to promptly refer this matter to the State Department Inspector General for investigation.”
The Washington Times reported on March 22 that the two low-level contractors who were fired worked for Stanley Inc., a 3,500-person technology firm based in Arlington that had just won a US $570 million contract to continue providing passport services to the State Department.
Although dismissed as “low-level” employees, The New York Times reports Stanley Inc. prides itself on extensive background checks for its workers. Approximately 53% of its employees have security or top secret security clearances, which means their employees didn’t just “walk in off the street and are now curious about Senator Obama’s files.”
A third contractual employee working for The Analysis Corp. (TAC), a McLean-based information firm that has helped the State Department automate the Terrorist Watchlist over the last several years, was reprimanded. TAC is headed by Obama’s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, which has earned millions of dollars providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies. Brennan is also a former CIA agent.
“This individual’s actions were taken without the knowledge or direction of anyone at TAC and are wholly inconsistent with our professional and ethical standards,” the company wrote in a press statement at the time.

You think there’s ‘clearly’ a connection because the cop made a comment to the reporter, something that you think is strange? If that’s the case, you need to read more crime stories... comments such as that are extremely common.
Why wouldn’t a criminal be gunned down by another criminal in Washington DC? Why would you even think it’s unusual. It’s a daily event. This is the address for the ‘church’ where he was shot...
2819 12th St NE, Washington D. C.
...do a streetview look-up and tell me it doesn’t look like any other place where hundreds of such shootings have taken place in the last 20 years, especially involving drugs. Here’s his charge sheet. He was a drug dealer.

You’re quite right that Brennan wasn’t running a ‘simple temp agency’. Stanley Inc had lots and lots of security cleared employees including ex-military and even staff with top secret clearances.
Which begs the question...
Why would this company with those resources need go external for staff to do this job? Not only that, why would they need to use a 24 yr old street punk and drug dealer? I can’t even see a ROLE for him in the team let alone the skill set or character profile.
good catch - perhaps the “24 yo street punk” was there to be the fall guy for stupid stuff that the intelligent people there would not touch with a 10 ft pole.
Just maybe?
I didn’t see that thread but I doubt Brennan is actually a Muslim or the anyone else is a “secret Muslim”. He’s just an idiot.
