Web Exclusive: State Department Dumped Benghazi Security Contractor 12 Days Before Attack

A State Department security contractor says that it was asked to provide security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi after a rival company failed to do the job, just 12 days before the terror attack of Sep. 11, 2012, which claimed the lives of four Americans.

Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions, a large, Virginia-based security and private military contracting firm, told Breitbart News that the State Department approached the company less than two weeks before Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were brutally murdered.

Blue Mountain Group, the small Welsh security contractor to which the State Department initially awarded the contract over Torres’s bid earlier in the year, was allegedly failing on the job.

Torres, which is owned and operated by U.S. Special Forces veteran Jerry Torres, was initially denied the contract. Before Benghazi, Torres had provided armed guards for the United States embassies in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the world. Blue Mountain, which is based in Wales, was apparently largely unknown in private contracting circles that were hired to work for the United States until the fateful attack on September 11, 2012.

“If we had been awarded that contract to protect the embassy compound in Benghazi, those men would still be alive today,” Bradley Owens, the political affairs officer for Torres told Breitbart News.

Owens said that on August 12, 2012 — just six months after Blue Mountain won the State Department contract for Benghazi — State Department official Jan Visintainer asked Torres’s director: “Hey, can Torres perform in Libya?”

Owens added:

We were asked 12 days before the attacks if we can come in and take over security. So they knew it wasn’t safe. Wait, it gets worse. We, of course, said yes. ...

Where have they been?

This came out right after the attack.

They reduced security ON PURPOSE!
REFUSED back up security.
REFUSED to let existing rotating out security permission to stay.

All the better to hide the GUN RUNNING my dear.

NOTHING is ever going to be done about this in this world.

Our government is so CORRUPT, it can’t be fixed.

There was no Consulate in Benghazi. That is more significant than reported. Jan Visintainer probably got a cash award for her good work. Who would not feel secure when they are protected by the February 17th Martyrs Brigade. Was Stevens CIA? If the truth is revealed a lot of influential people would be going to jail. We can’t handle the truth.

“Many of the local Libyans who attacked the consulate on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, were the actual guards that the State Department under Hillary Clinton hired to protect the consulate in Benghazi,” Tiegen told Fox News last year. “The guards were unvetted and were locals with basically no background at all in providing security. Most of them never had held a job in security in the past.”

Tucker has people and rabbit holes to explore.

“We can’t handle the truth.”.....

Precisely why draining the swamp is so highly resisted. Fear that those resisting will be caught and eventually wind up the slammer.

"In the months following the Benghazi Embassy siege I learned the fuller picture of what happened during that fateful night, both at the Mission itself and at the Annex, which was only a short drive away from the Mission. Tensions were running high that evening, because of a recce mission that a Libyan policeman—or more likely a bad guy posing as a policeman—had carried out that morning. We’d caught him taking photos of the Mission’s front gate and grounds, and we feared it was in preparation for some kind of an attack.": “A Night of Sheer Hell”: An eyewitness account of the Benghazi siege that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
