The video is alarming to say the least. It raises serious questions about why Obama would be compelled to pick John Brennan to head the CIA.
Very interesting little video here. Didn’t know that a bunch of lefties oppose the Brennan nomination. After all, Brennan is reputed to be a Muslim, at least according to a thread posted here on FR earlier this week.
I know that, but Zawahiri’s brother knew about it earlier and called out the demonstrators to show up that morning with that as the excuse.

His demonstration was planned before that day, and was in response to a video [though the press was not certain which video he was talking about as there was another one out there] and the preplanned demonstration is why the embassy was understaffed in Cairo and the nonesentials had been sent home.
Clips from the film were first aired on Egyptian TV just 3-4 days before Sept. 11th by a hardline 'tele-Islamist.'
He really had little or no effect on the crowds that did show up to protest.
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.
Release Nakoula? No, I missed anything along those lines.
There were several reasons the protesters were there in Cairo the least of which was the ‘video.’ Yes, the embassy knew it was coming.
AUGUST 30, 2012 : (JAMAA ISLAMIYA ANNOUNCES UPCOMING CAIRO PROTEST OBJECTING TO THE ONGOING IMPRISONMENT OF THE BLIND SHEIKH, 19930226 WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING CONSPIRATOR, NY LANDMARK/TUNNEL PLOT CONSPIRATOR) According to the blaze: Its salafists who inspired the attacks days before they happened.they were reprisals for us holding the blind sheik Rackhman,any ol excuse will do.
The protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was announced Aug. 30 by Jamaa Islamiya, a State Department-designated terrorist group, to protest the ongoing imprisonment of its spiritual leader, Sheikh Omar abdel Rahman, who is serving a life sentence in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
When the video started circulating, Nader Bakkar, the spokesman for the Egyptian Salafist Noor party, which holds about 25% of the seats in parliament, called on people to go to the embassy. He also called on non-Islamist soccer hooligans, known as Ultras, to join the protest. On Monday, the brother of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri, Mohamed, tweeted that people should go to the embassy and “defend the prophet,” Trager said. --------http://www.theblaze.com/stories/reports-embassy-attacks-likely-pre-planned-coordinated/
SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 : () USA Today reports that the riot at the U.S. embassy in Cairo appears to have been planned well before the Egyptian media reported on the anti-Islam YouTube film that was blamed for sparking the protest. The protest was reportedly announced on August 30 by Gamaa Islamiyya, an Egyptian terrorist group, to call for the release of its leader, Sheikh Omar abdel Rahman — aka the blind sheik, who is serving a life sentence for the first World Trade Center bombing:(Excerpt) Read more at commentarymagazine.com ..., -----Report: Riots Actually About Release of Blind Sheik, http://www.commentarymagazine.com ^ | 9/12/2012 Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 7:49:59 PM by Bulwinkle
No. The release of the Blind Sheik. He, somehow, got ahead of the story.

Oh, thank for the links. Much appreciated and bookmarked the one.
Oh, yes, the Blind Sheik. Who could forget him? lol
Thanks for the Pings.
I believe the name of the two-bit criminal who was murdered is Leiutenant (e before i rather than the other way around) Quarles Harris, and the name doesn’t denote a rank of any kind and therefore shouldn’t be abbreviated as “Lt.”
Ah, that's what I am talking about: the existance of the video was known to the islamists days before the western press knew about it - the press wasn't even sure which video the US embassy was talking about at first. I wonder if the clips the tele-islamist aired were downloaded from the internet link everyone else saw as-is, or if the tele-Islamist was the one who doctored and posted it in the first place, perhaps to signal a select number of other imams around the world in some way that the plan was in motion, etc, without letting anyone else know it was going to be a multi-continental riot.
Anyway, I didn't say the video had been seen by the bulk of the protesters because it had what, fewer than 100 views on it when we found out about it? It didn't need to be seen by the lowly protesters- in the Middle east, average joe-schmoe protesters don't really show up for anything we do in the west, they show up because during the Friday prayers their imam tells them to show up, so they are all ready to go to the protest after worshipping based on what he told them, real or imaginary, not on anything they have actually seen for themselves. All that is needed is to incite a few of one's fellow imams.
What I am saying is that the video may have been nothing more than an explanation given by the leaders of the protest to justify an action - in Islam revenge is the only acceptable violence, so in order to start a fight the islamists have to create an offense to avenge, if one isn't already available. They [or perhaps their western advisors] also know Americans wouldn't be moved by their passionate desire to release the blind sheikh, so the video may have been brought up so muslims could play the victim card, and to rail against free speech, which was the meme of the past few months before Benghazi.
So when our embassy tweeter went on and on apologizing for the video it must have made the leaders of the protest laugh at the stupidity of the US state department because the US embassy reaction made the US look silly and weak and pathetic, which is great for recruiting more jihadists. It was a win-win- distract the US long enough to smack their compound and recruit, recruit, recruit.
Thanks for that Egyptian tele-islamist link, that’s just what I was hunting for and couldn’t find it.
I don’t think the knowledge of the ‘video’ by the State Dept. and Islamist Imams is coincidental. The fact that the dissemination of the video is tied to Stanley Inc. some months before Sept. 11th leads me to think the State Dept. and other 0bama minions knew of it well before any Islamists did.
You’re welcome, and you’re correct, apparently the name “Leiutenant” is a tribal thing. ... Or something....
Thanks for the post; pings; video link in #18. Great thread. Thanks to all linkers/posters/researchers/investigators/educators. BTTT!
You’re welcome.

The companies that provided the contractors were The Analysis Corp. and Stanley Inc. Stanley, based in Arlington, Va., this week won a five-year, $570 million government contract extension to support passport services.
The State Department confirmed Thursday night that Obama's files had been compromised as recently as last week, on March 14.
According to agency officials, a Stanley employee improperly accessed Obama's records on Jan. 9 and was fired within days. The second contractor, employed by The Analysis Corp., pried into similar records on Feb. 21 but was not terminated. The third incident involved another Stanley employee, who was swiftly fired.
The firings could make it more difficult for the State Department to force the workers to answer questions. Unless they agree to comply, they would have to be served with a grand-jury subpoena compelling them to testify.
Stanley said it regretted the "rare occurrence" of unauthorized access of any individual's private information. The Analysis Corp., or TAC, issued a statement late Friday saying it had been notified earlier in the day that one of its contractors had acted improperly. The company said it had decided to honor the department's request to delay firing its consultant in order to aid the investigation.
The worker who had been reprimanded in the Obama incident had also reviewed McCain's records earlier this year, said McCormack, the State Department spokesman. While the employee has not been fired, that person no longer has access to passport files, he said.
SNIP
Contrary to popular opinion, however, the records do not "maintain evidence of travel, such as entrance/exit stamps, visas or residence permits, since this information is entered into the passport book after it is issued," according to a Jan. 9 notice in the Federal Register.
The records do contain information such as registrations of Americans living abroad, reports of the births abroad of U.S. citizens and certificates of witnesses to marriage. They can also include paperwork accompanying some passport applications, such as birth and baptismal certificates, court orders and arrest warrants.
2 Fired in Passport Case With Va. Firm

State Department employees snooped through the passport files of three presidential candidates _ Sens. Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain _ and the department's inspector general is investigating.
SNIP
The State Department said the Justice Department would be monitoring the probe in case it needs to get involved.
Attorney General Michael Mukasey said the case has not yet been referred to the Justice Department for investigation, and indicated prosecutors likely would wait until the State Department's inspector general concludes its inquiry. But Mukasey did not rule out the possibility of the Justice Department taking an independent look at the passport breach.
"Have they asked us to become involved _ no," Mukasey told reporters during a Friday briefing. "When, as, and if we have a basis for an investigation, including a reference _ that is, one basis would be a reference _ we could conduct one."
Asked what another basis could be, Mukasey said: "I don't want to speculate but if somebody walked in here with a box full of evidence, they wouldn't be turned away."
In Clinton's case, an individual last summer accessed her file as part of a training session involving another State Department worker. McCormack said the one-time violation was immediately recognized and the person was admonished.
Obama's records were accessed without permission on three separate occasions _ Jan. 9, Feb. 21 and as recently as last week, on March 14.
McCormack declined to name the companies that employed the contractors, despite demands by a senior House Democrat that such information is in the public interest.
"At this point, we just started an investigation," he said. "We want to err on the side of caution."
McCain, who was in Paris on Friday, said any breach of passport privacy deserves an apology and a full investigation.
"The United States of America values everyone's privacy and corrective action should be taken," he said.
It is not clear whether the employees saw anything other than the basic personal data such as name, citizenship, age, Social Security number and place of birth, which is required when a person fills out a passport application.
Aside from the file, the information could allow critics to dig deeper into the candidates' private lives. While the file includes date and place of birth, address at time of application and the countries the person has traveled to, the most important detail would be their Social Security number, which can be used to pull credit reports and other personal information.
The firings and unspecified discipline of the third employee already had occurred when senior State Department officials learned of the break-ins to the files. Rice learned about it Thursday, after a reporter inquired about Obama's case.
The violations were detected by internal State Department computer checks because certain records, including those of high-profile people, are "flagged" with a computer tag that tips off supervisors when someone tries to view the records without a proper reason.
