Incredible statement by New York Times in front-page article on House Benghazi report
American Thinker ^ | July 2, 2016 | Michael Nadler

Posted on 07/02/2016 6:57:20 AM PDT by detective

I heard this New York Times take on the Benghazi report mentioned on a noontime political discussion show on Fox News yesterday and found it so absurd that I had to check for myself. Here it is: The New York Times front-page article following the issuance of the report of the House Select Committee on Benghazi included the following paragraph.

At a news conference at the Capitol on Tuesday, Mr. Gowdy praised as heroes the Americans who died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2012. They included Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith, a State Department information officer, who were killed at the main American diplomatic compound in Benghazi by a mob of militia fighters who had been incited by an American-made video deriding the Prophet Muhammad. The fighters were apparently further inflamed by news of an assault on the American Embassy in Cairo.

One thing the Select Committee’s report makes 100% clear in 172 pages of evidence constituting section II (and which not even the White House or State Department would now dispute) is that the attack in Benghazi had absolutely nothing to do with the video cited by the Times. The report details numerous firsthand communications from our agents on the ground that made their way to Secretary Clinton’s office from multiple channels during the attacks and consistently used the term “attack,” and none of the information mentioned anything about a video or protest.

Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration made and stuck with public statements blaming the attack on the video for weeks afterward.

The NYT is still parroting Obama and Clinton's lies about the Benghazi attack being caused by an obscure internet video.

The story is an obvious lie and has been completely discredited.

But the NYT is still reporting it as the truth on their front page.

Stevens was no hero. He was a traitor who died while committing his last of a string of acts of treason, running weapons to Al-Qaeda.

Understanding this is key to comprehending the true significance of what went down in Benghazi that day and the Clintonites’ actions relating to that event before and afterwards.

I don’t think you should be talking about facts and truth and stuff like that. It gets in the way of a good propaganda story.

Now, will Trump, or anyone else, bust them on it or just sit quietly while they continue to lie?

That is staggering — the entire report debunks the video myth and the NYT brazenly still puts it front and center in their article.

Is the author so stupid or lazy to have not read and understood the report?
Or did the NYT editors say “Let’s have some fun — jam a stick in their eyes.”

The NY Slimes still supports and takes pride in the long proven lies of their writer Walter Duranty, who lied about Stalin’s brutal “famine” in the Ukraine. The Slimes loved Stalin, who was every bit as evil as Hitler, and due to his longevity, was responsible for even more murders of innocents.

The New York Slimes STILL hasn't returned the Pulitzer Prize awarded to their lying, Communist correspondent Walter Duranty for his pack of pro-Soviet lies published in 1931.

There is a reason the al Qaeda terrorists didn't crash one of those hijacked airliners into the NYT building (or the UN building for that matter) on 9/11/01, why would they attack their natural, America-hating allies?!?

The New York Times building needs to be fumigated for cockroaches, but they'll never do it because it would leave nothing but an empty husk of a building behind.

The New York Times is the DNC house organ. They spoout whatever the DNC tells them to without regard to the facts. Herr Goebbels would be its editor in chief were he alive today.

As Ben Rhodes, a top Obama advisor explained, the media do and say exactly what we tell them to do or say.

Stevens may not have been a hero, and he may have been up to his armpits in treason, but if anyone is going to execute him for his treason, it should have been by firing squad after being found guilty by a United States Military Tribunal, not by a pack of Muslim savages.

The New York Times was burned yesterday in an apparent response to an queerophile video in South West Virginia

“The Slimes loved Stalin, who was every bit as evil as Hitler”

The American left and the American media were also supporters of the National Socialist Workers Party in Germany until Germany invaded Russia in 1941.

Hitler's War against Great Britain was described as the war between socialism and colonialism.

The German socialists were the good guys. The British colonialists were the bad guys.

Stevens was not the only one killed in the Benghazi attack. Three other Americans were also killed.

Anything Stevens did was following the orders of Clinton and Obama.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” - Joseph Goebbels Hillary Clinton

It was also rumored that Stevens was queer as a three dollar bill, but as an alleged Christian nation, we wouldn’t have thrown him off the top of a building (or had him killed off by Libyan rebels), we would have prayed for him, put him on trial and let the justice system deal with him.

That’s most likely why HE was killed, because had his crimes become known to the public, Clinton and Obama would have been in the box with him when it came time for a trial.

The bigger question is where the shipments were being diverted to Syria? Since the US and its allies had taken out Khadaffi, putting a huge number of weapons in play. We have a significant interest in securing those weapons, especially MANPADS. Was that a CIA operation?was that a State operation? Were the guys buying weapons off the street informed where the weapons were being shipped? All interesting questions.
