12 DAYS OF BENGHAZI: DAY 12 PART 1

ACCOUNTABILITY

Even with everything we know now, It’s a fact nobody inside the State Department, Department of Defense, or CIA will ever be held accountable for the catastrophic failures that left Americans exposed and cost lives.

Except for the ones that expose it and tell the truth like Tanto, Jake, Boon, Oz and myself did.

That is the reality of Benghazi.

People were reassigned, reinstated, promoted, retired, protected, or allowed to disappear back into the system. Four Americans were dead, and the institutions responsible kept moving.

And this is not just about Benghazi.

Our government has failed Americans before, and it has failed Americans since. Different administrations. Different agencies. Different crises. Same pattern.

Warnings are missed and ignored.

Bad decisions are made.

People die.

Then the investigations start, everybody protects their own, and meaningful accountability disappears.

September 11, 2001.

Benghazi 9/11/2012

Abbey Gate.

Mogadishu.

The USS Cole.

Hurricane Katrina.

COVID.
That’s a short list!

Different events. Different failures. Different agencies.

But the same question keeps coming back:

WHO IS ACTUALLY HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN GOVERNMENT FAILURE COSTS AMERICAN LIVES?

If your incompetence or dereliction of duty costs American lives, there should be real consequences.

If you accept a position where Americans depend on your judgment, preparation, and decisions for their lives, then you accept the responsibility that comes with that job.

You do not get to take the title, the authority, the salary, and the power, then hide behind bureaucracy when your failures get people killed.

And when the evidence proves criminal negligence, willful dereliction of duty, corruption, or deliberate misconduct, the people responsible should be prosecuted.

If convicted, they should go to prison!

If you cannot handle that responsibility, do not take the fucking job.

Because if nobody is ever held accountable, why should anyone believe the system will ever fix itself?

12 DAYS OF BENGHAZI: DAY 12 PART 2 finale one

WHY I KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT

For the last 12 days, I have not been trying to retell 13 Hours. If you want the battle, read the book or watch the movie.

I wanted people to understand what happened BEFORE the attack and what happened AFTER it.

The warnings were there. The attacks had already started. Security requests had already been made. People on the ground were asking for help. The morning of September 11, we personally carried another threat warning directly to Ambassador Stevens.

Then the attack happened.

Four Americans died.

Chris Stevens.

Sean Smith.

Tyrone “Rone” Woods.

Glen “Bub” Doherty.

And in the years since, I have learned things I did not know that night. Cable traffic. Timelines. Intelligence. What was happening in Washington. What military assets were available. What people were being told. What Sarah Adams, Boon, and others have uncovered.

That is why I still talk about Benghazi.

Not because I am stuck in 2012.

Not because I need attention.

And not because I want to spend the rest of my life arguing with government reports.

I talk about it because if we do not tell the truth about why something failed, we cannot fix it.

The government can write reports. Agencies can protect themselves. Politicians can blame each other. People can argue over terminology until the end of time.

But none of that changes what happened.

Four Americans are dead.

Families lost sons, husbands, fathers and brothers.

And those of us who were there will carry that night for the rest of our lives.

I will keep telling what I saw.

I will keep telling what I heard.

I will keep asking the questions people in power would rather stop answering.

And I will keep saying their names.

Chris.

Sean.

Rone.

Bub.

Because Benghazi should never become just another political argument people remember every four years.

It happened.

There were failures.

There were warnings.

There were opportunities to do better.

And Americans paid the price.

NEVER FORGET BENGHAZI.

How accurate is the Grok AI version of this?

I retained the 4 files of Benghazi, The only place it exists is the the waybackmachine. There were so many revisions and deletions that it is difficult to find the pieces that still exist.

Spook City and Obama and Derr Hilderbeast long ago burried.

I am speaking of the series called Fixed Bayonets. It is like the wilderness of mirrors. (the bad guys, have never been punished)

Here is a sample of early fresh reporting. Not the lies of Hillary and Obozo. There are 4 parts, but soo many revisions make it impossible to find the truth not lies.

I copied all the daily transcripts in the series from this link...

https://x.com/tigtiegen?lang=en

...and pasted them into the prompt.

I apologize if it is not accurate enough for you.

If it is not, please submit your own, more accurate one.

You can show all the crimes of the Democrat leaders, and the Democrat voters don’t care.

They’re accomplices.

They know they are accomplices.

That’s why they vote for the Democrat leaders.

Grandma isn’t stupid.

Uncle Bill isn’t blindly loyal.

Your daughter isn’t a bubblehead.

They are willing accomplices to the criminal Democrat leaders.

I am not saying my view of the events of Benghazi.

I am saying it is older and closer to the event. I spent a lot of time back in the 2014-2015-2016

What is on the wayback machine is very difficult to piece together. So many revisions as time went along.

There is a double indexing element on some of it now.

I will look at your AI version. Grok is from Elon Musk, he is being very careful as his AI is coming together. He is known for fast assembly of complex stuff. And most of it is very accurate.

Also let me explain, I do not have access to Grok. I did for a short time before they made may account vanish.

Long story. I had an invitation recently (after about 2 years) to get a new account. At the last exchange I was insulted about what conditions went with it. I refused.

I was on Twitter (X) for over 15 years. For many years I had 7-8,000 followers and a lot of them were good friends. Had 300,000 tweets. I have a couple of copies of my data (downloaded). It only gives my side of contacts. My account name was totally removed.

So, I don’t have access to Grok and probably never will.

I still have forums that I am a regular.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

All it takes to create a grok account is an email address. I used a couple of my gmail burner accounts. You get 20 free queries a day. If I ever go over 20 I switch to the other account but it rarely happens no because I bought a computer so a 16gh nvidia gpu and I do most of my ai queries on local ollama with qwen3.6:latest.

[Texas Fossil]

I’ve only had one email account for many many years (except for the gmail account that Verizon forced me to take. I almost never use it. (I’m not a fan of google)

I have been looking for a new email account, we moved to our house at the farm, and went to a different internet carrier. But the wireless internet carrier does not have an email system. But they are a lot faster than the DSL in town, and 1/2 the price.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just go to gmail.com and open a free account. Better yet, go to protonmail.com and open a free encrypted account that Google can’t read. It is not rocket science
