That Videotape and Benghazi: a Review of Kenneth Timmerman's Deception
American Thinker ^ | August 20, 2016 | Richard Kirk

Posted on 08/20/2016 9:30:00 AM PDT by Kaslin

Deception by Kenneth Timmerman contains several blockbuster claims that match Wag the Dog deception in their audacity -- claims backed with evidence ranging from extremely solid to highly plausible. In the former category is the assertion that neither the Cairo riots on September 11, 2012, nor the Benghazi attacks that began later that night were inspired by the infamous YouTube video produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the shady Coptic Egyptian living in Southern California.

By now informed observers concede the latter point, but most are unaware of the evidence demonstrating that the earlier Cairo riot had long been focused on demanding release of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman. As Timmerman puts it, the one-minute, thirty-second “Arabic language trailer, which virtually nobody had actually seen, was only tacked on at the last minute to attract additional bodies to a demonstration in front of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that had long been in the works. It did not drive the crowds, or the organizers. It was simply an afterthought.” Indeed, on September 10, in an interview with the Blind Sheikh’s son and the brother of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, CNN reporter Nic Robertson explained, “This is the protest calling for the release of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman” -- an interview that all but disappeared from CNN’s website after the media eagerly adopted Obama and Clinton’s YouTube spin on both Cairo and Benghazi.

When Trump remarked that he had seen video of people celebrating the events on 9/11 he was scorned and excoriated by bozos on the left and right, demanding that he quantify how many people danced and cheered. It was infuriating because I too had seen them, along with the millions of others who watched the grim news reports that awful day.

When Hellery suggested that ragheads attacked Americans because of a u-toob video every single one of the empty-headed mouth-breathers in the press reflexively nodded in assent and tch-tched anyone for doubting them. Again, it was infuriating because no one had seen any such video and the very notion was ludicrous.

I recently saw Hellery exclaim (referring to the purported video event) “well, I know what I saw”.

The truth is that she has lied so much and for so long that she is incapable of differentiating reality from her own sick delusions.

The protests and attack in Cairo (or anywhere in the world) weren't about that stupid 'video' either.

Brian Lilley: The MSM is lying about the muslim riots
Interviews on the streets of Cairo. 'Video' had nothing to do with protests and attack.

"Blame it on the Video" was a Fraud for the Cairo Rioting, Too

Hillary Clinton is THE original source of the 'video did it' excuse for Benghazi, Cairo and all the rest of the embassy riots around the world. Hillary did it!

US Embassy in Cairo quietly deletes its ‘we stand by our condemnation’ tweet; Update: More deleted tweets!

Here is Hillary pushing it again on Sept. 13th.

Clinton: Anti-Islam Video 'Disgusting' (video 2:56)

Here is a 'senior administration official' trying to distance 0bamugabe from Hillary's f-up and at the same time admitting by inference that she was the source of the 'video did it' meme.

Senior administration official: The Cairo embassy’s statement does not reflect the view of the U.S. government; Update: Romney calls embassy statement “disgraceful”

The White House is disavowing a statement from their own Cairo embassy that apologized for anti-Muslim activity in the United States.

“The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government,” a senior administration official told POLITICO…

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a Tuesday statement.

And here 0bamugabe and Hillary work together to try to prop up her 'video did it' nonsense and spread it even further.

Nope, she never said anything about a 'video.'

Hillary was the first to use the "Youtube video" excuse.

10:38-39 p.m., 9/11/12. @StateDept tweets: " #SecClinton: I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. http://state.gov #Libya" and "#SecClinton: We have confirmed one @StateDept officer was killed in #Libya. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss." Hillary Clinton issues a statement, saying, "I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack." She adds: "Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."

That was when Hillary herself took over the Cairo embassy Twitter account and personally posted. (anyone who thinks she wasn't directing the earlier Tweets is smoking something) That was at 10:38 PM Eastern Time. That would have been 4:38 AM Sept. 12th in Benghazi. About the time Woods and Doherty were making their last stand.

How could Morell have been the first to come up with the "Youtube video" story when Hillary tweeted an apology for it at 10:38 PM that night? When the Cairo embassy was Tweeting apologies to Muslims almost 24 hours earlier, long before the attack in Benghazi?

Benghazi - The Hillary Timeline

8:00 PM - Hillary Clinton calls Gregory Hicks. (Hicks testified that he told her exactly what was happening.)

10:00 PM - WH: Obama Called Hillary at 10PM on Night of Benghazi Attack. February 20, 2013

10:38 PM - Hillary Tweets apology for "anti-Mohammed video" from Cairo Twitter account. (That was about 20 - 22 hours after the first apology was tweeted from the Cairo embassy.)
