Here we go. The House Oversight Committee hearings on Benghazi begin today, and do you know what we’re going to learn? We’re going to learn that 0bama and Hillary Clinton were informed almost immediately that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was being waged by Islamic jihadists connected to al Qaeda. Then we’re going to learn that 0bama and Hillary immediately went into protective mode … protecting 0bama’s reelection efforts and Hillary’s chances for 2016.
0bama had a narrative to protect. His diplomatic efforts in the Middle East had brought about a new era of cooperation and peace, right? Al Qaeda was on the run and all but decimated, right?
Hillary? She had incompetence to cover up. Almost immediately she came to understand that this consulate had requested additional security and protection, and that her chain of command had said no. Now she had four dead Americans, including one dead Ambassador to deal with. The 3:00 am phone call came, and her phone was turned off.
There was one current and one future presidency to be saved here, so a narrative had to be developed and presented to the American people that would clear 0bama and Hillary of any culpability. So not only did they come up with this phony YouTube video lie, they actually used the police power of the Executive branch of government to take an American citizen, an unknown video producer from California, and jam him in jail on spurious (at best) charges in order to support their phony and entirely contrived YouTube video narrative.
Now, as the hearings begin, we have luminaries such as Senator Lindsey Graham, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and my friend Mike Huckabee all predicting, to one degree or another, dreadful times ahead for 0bama. The predictions range from a Watergate-style scandal to outright impeachment.
Forget it. Ain’t going to happen. You’re dreaming.
Only a minority of Americans give a flying widget about any 0bama cover-up of the Benghazi matter. They are more likely to buy into White House Spokesman Jay Carney’s “That was a long time ago” narrative, or Hillary’s “What difference does it make” rant than they are to actually care about a deliberate, lying cover-up of the reasons behind the death of four Americans.
Watergate? Gimme a big league break here. There’s a HUGE difference between 0bama’s problems with Benghazi and Nixon’s Watergate mess. When the Watergate scandal broke we had a New York and D.C. press corps with a burning desire to destroy Richard Nixon. With 0bama and the Benghazi scandal we have the very same press corps ready to do anything it can reasonably expect to get away with to protect their God-like hero and preserve his presidency. “But people died in Benghazi!” you say? And you think that’s enough to stop the 0bama hero-worship among the Fourth Estate?
But what about the American people? Really? Think about that for a few moments. Now … you’re not telling me that the same people who put this colossal failure back into the White House for four more years is going to get worked up over Benghazi, are you?
Let me tell you what the American people are concerned with right now – and we’re talking about those who aren’t gunched up with 24/7 discussions about college football recruiting and gay NBA players. In a nutshell (and thank goodness for the few exceptions we DO have) the majority of the American people are more worried right now about acquiring and keeping their monthly checks from the government than they are about 0bama’s lies or foreign policy failures. They think a Benghazi is a small yappy dog.
These people are more concerned about next Winter’s home heating assistance checks than they are about dead ambassadors. They’re worrying about getting more federal dollars for child care to help them take care of the next tricycle motor they’re fixin’ to download without the benefit of a husband. They’re wondering who is going to pay their medical bills, and how they can get their hands on one of those great Section 8 housing vouchers. Some are looking to upgrade their 0bamaPhones.
How many people do we have on Social Security disability right now? The figure is nearing 12 million Americans. These 12 million are principally worried about how to keep those checks coming, while another 12 million (at least) are wondering how to get on this bandwagon as well. After all, their backs hurt and you surely can’t expect them to get out there and work for a living, can you? (Apologies to those of you with actual disabilities, but we could probably cram every one of you into a Jai Alai Fronton somewhere in Miami if we had to.)
Then there’s millions more who’s main concern is making sure their unemployment benefits don’t run out (Me? Get a job?) and others who are waiting for 0bama to make their boss pay them more than they’re actually worth on their jobs.
Benghazi 0bama’s Watergate? For that to happen you need concerned citizens who actually care and a media that will do it’s job objectively. Both ingredients are in short supply.
It’s going to be a great show, to be sure. But in the end it adds up to nothing.
RE: I’m betting the only person to see the inside of a cell over Benghazi is going to be the poor schmuck film maker.

Does anybody even know his current whereabouts? His name is : Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. Where the heck is he?
And why isn’t ANYBODY on the Republican side bringing his name up? Talk about defending the innocent...
Quote; “Have you made any phone calls? Have you sent any emails? Have you faxed anyone in DC? Have you called, faxed or emailed any networks? I have.”
Then you have wasted your time!! The cowards that are our elected officials believe the Press. The RINO’s believe that America wants gun control and immigration reform despite the polls saying the exact opposite. The Fourth Estate weilds every bit as much power as our elected officials and is weilding it to, in effect, make the leftist democrat party immune from everything.
Here is the real question, how is it that these people in the Fourth Estate weild the same power as our elected officials yet we know so little about them? If we truly want to balance our democracy again, then the real action we need to take is to demand to know anything and everything about the members of the Fourth Estate. Afterall, they demand to know it ALL about us!!! Let’s see how brave and biased a David Gregory is when we find out about his past, his children, his spouse, etc.
All this democrat v. Republican DC drama is a distraction from where the real battle should be fought. So long as the Press goes unschathed, they will continue to censor the news and, in effect, create a world where the opposition is rendered illegal.
Libyan revolution brought the Libyan Central Bank in line with Western central banking. The new bank and national oil company were formed very quickly.
Yes, arms were going to Syria, where the revolution is for the same purpose.
The attempted kidnapping of Ambassador Stevens was a side effort set up to help Obama’a reelection.
Mr. Hicks was blatantly given the “carrot and stick” offer from international banking, as represented by 2 of the House members. a) you can have any post you desire if you stay on our playbook and b) (like the mafia) .... if there’s ever (big pause) any retribution (big pause)... ... ... I’ll do all within my power (??) to defend you (the implication being, of course, gee, I don’t know if I’ll be “able” to)...
Mr. Thompson is showing great strength as he obviously has run afoul of international banking/CIA/State by stating that the actual response team that was supposed to respond was shut down early on. This is why he is confining his comments... while he wants the truth to come out and his boss DB should be hauled before Congress, he wants a member of Congress to ask questions the right way so as to not put him in international bankings sights as the one who sold them out. DB obviously had been told on no uncertain terms to shut down his team and simply say that it (the actual multi-agency team officially tasked with this purpose) was somehow generally agreed to somehow not have time to respond. Of course, since the administration would have not legitimate way of knowing how many DAYS the survivors could hold out under siege, shutting down Thompson’s team was treasonous.
When people mess too much with international banking, they tragically commit suicide.
Last I heard, he's still in prison, most likely illegally.
It’s worse than Watergate.
He doesn’t exist. No family spokespeople, no outraged attorneys, no attempts to claim his innocence, etc. yet, the US government accused him of four deaths and riots all over the world. He is fictional.
Woodrow Wilson had Eugene Debs thrown in prison. It took a new President, Warren G. Harding, for him to be released. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula may have to wait for the next Republican President to get his release.
It’s going to be a great show, to be sure. But in the end it adds up to nothing.
***Life is a tale, told by an idiot, fully of sound and fury... signifying nothing.
Sadly, this is exactly how I see this as well. The key part being the MSM. The media of the day wanted to destroy Nixon. Today’s presstitutes will fall on their collective swords to protect “The Won”.
Michelle Bachmann (on Hannity right now) is with the families of the dead Americans and she said that today was the first time that “we heard from people that were on the ground during the attack”. I guess they have done what you wanted.

You are free to believe what you want but I see men and women fighting to find the truth and I will back them up in any way that I can.

Neal... Yeah... that's right... throw in the towel. Nice courage there buddy.
Thanks bro!

Ok and I agree with your position. But because of the Fourth Estate, millions of Americans are instead seeing the tale of the Cleveland Kidnappings and the Verdict against whats her face. Seriously, you do not see that the Fourth Estate is the real problem this country faces? You do not see that the Fourth Estate has outright chosen a side and in doing so has destroyed any chance that those reponsible for the death’s of four Americans will be held accountable?
We need to take it to these fools and support those brave enough to do so.
