Phone call between Hillary and Obama may be 'genesis' of anti-Muslim video lie
American Thinker ^ | 05/18/2013 | Rick Moran

Andrew McCarthy makes the case that the 10:00 PM phone call on September 11 last year between Hillary Clinton and President Obama may be the conversation that led to the bogus story of an anti-Muslim video setting off "demonstrations" in Benghazi that led to the deaths of Americans.

Fraud flows from the top down, not the mid-level up. Mid-level officials in the White House and the State Department do not call the shots -- they carry out orders. They also were not running for reelection in 2012 or positioning themselves for a campaign in 2016. The people doing that were, respectively, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton.

Obama and Clinton had been the architects of American foreign policy. As Election Day 2012 loomed, each of them had a powerful motive to promote the impressions (a) that al-Qaeda had been decimated; (b) that the administration's deft handling of the Arab Spring -- by empowering Islamists -- had been a boon for democracy, regional stability, and American national security; and (c) that our real security problem was "Islamophobia" and the "violent extremism" it allegedly causes -- which was why Obama and Clinton had worked for years with Islamists, both overseas and at home, to promote international resolutions that would make it illegal to incite hostility to Islam, the First Amendment be damned.

All of that being the case, I am puzzled why so little attention has been paid to the Obama-Clinton phone call at 10 p.m. on the night of September 11.

Even in the conservative press, it has become received wisdom that President Obama was AWOL on the night of September 11, after first being informed by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, in the late afternoon, that State Department facility in Benghazi was under attack. You hear it again and again:

Oh...no doubt. Hillary and Barry had to keep this attack from derailing the fall campaign. They knew they had a compliant media. All they had to do was put out a story and allow ABCBSNBCNN to run with it.

Question is...how is the GOP congressional investigation going to get access to the appropriate communications? With the media already circling the wagons around their messiah and the future POTUS Hillary...it is not likely to happen.

Already this morning on CBS...the “Director” of CBS “News” warned the GOP to not overplay their hand. These people are communists...and they will go down before they give up any documents...because of executive privilege.

Make no mistake here...we are in the battle of our lifetimes. Only the Constitution is at stake.

Couldn’t agree more. The other facet of the video-strategy is the Rahm-rule. By blaming a video, i.e., an exercise in free speech, free speech could be curtailed in the national interest. Another instance of turning crisis to profit, straight out of the fast & furious book: blame guns, then cite the rationale for banning them.

Heck, the dems are doing the same thing with the IRS mess—the fault isn’t “targeting,” it’s the NEED for targeting because the agency’s so ridiculously understaffed. It’s the Chicago way of growing government.

What did the president know and when did he know it?

If it wasn’t for the fact that Hillary and BO were
mainly responsible for the deaths of four Americans,
the Benghazi phone call between Mr. Null and Ms. Void
would make for a hilarious Rush Limbaugh Program
parady.

An innocent man has been scapegoated and is a political prisoner in a federal prison.

Don’t think we’re dealing with a choir boy here. He’ll be out in August, if he lives that long.

What better way to dismantle the first ammendment for freedom of speech than to blame a youtube video for moslem unrest. Too much freedom of speech is dangerous. And the moslem unrest destroys the expendable and gay gunrunning ambassador to Libya. And that covers the tracks of the pro-islamic agenda of the Saudi controlled administration. What a neat trick. Too bad it failed.

Still not the BIG question:

Key question which must be answered is what important activity was being conducted at our Benghazi mission compound to cause Stevens to have to be there on the night of Sept. 11 to meet the Turkish consul general, even though he feared for his safety? According to various reports, one of Stevens‘ main missions was to facilitate the transfer of military equipment to jihadists and other Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda-affiliated groups fighting the Bashar Assad regime in Syria, which also fought our forces in Iraq.

Retired Adm. James A. Lyons was commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and senior U.S. military representative to the United Nations.

What did the president know and when did he know it?

And, what did he do/where was he the entire night?

It was at 10:38 PM that Hillary sent out her first Tweet on the State Department Twitter feed.

This particular Tweet marked the first official mention of the video and it having spawned "spontaneous demonstrations".

Accordingly, BHO and HRC had agreed upon and begun to execute their cover story even before Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods died.

Wonder if someone at NSA might grow a conscious and anonymously leak out a recording of that phone call? Might GRU or Mossad have the ability to do the same? The mere thought of that possibly should be keeping O and Hill up at night.

As per his usual modus operandi, Mr. Moran doesn't write an article, he excerpts the work of another, in this case, Andrew Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan's article is thought provoking. Read all of it here.

The point is that he was thrown in prison to distract attention from Obama and Clinton, and to show they had “taken action.”

It’s equivalent to the line in Casablanca where Captain Renault orders his men to “round up the usual suspects.”
