Benghazi e-mail finally answers the basic questions: Who knew what, when?

[FreeAtlanta]

The pieces of the Benghazi puzzle are falling into place and the conclusions are damning: America’s intelligence community, our leading military commanders and then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta knew within fifteen minutes of the commencement of hostilities on Sept. 11, 2012 that the American compound in Libya was attacked by Al Qaida-affiliated terrorists. Yet, President Barack Obama and his then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton conspired to deceive the American people in order to protect their mutual power. They deliberately downplayed the role of Islamic terrorists. benghaziemail-300x225They did so in order to win a second presidential term for the Democratic Party and in an attempt to preserve the reputation of Mrs. Clinton for her possible run at the top office in 2016. Now, more than a year later, the truth is emerging with devastating clarity. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report contains a key email, sent on Sept. 15, 2012, from the CIA station chief in Libya to then-CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell which states that the Benghazi attacks were “not/not an escalation of protests.” Mr. Morell received this information the day before then-Amb. Susan Rice delivered the infamous phony narrative on five Sunday talk shows: she said the violence occurred in a spontaneous manner due to protests against an anti-Muslim YouTube video.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Things aren’t so clear cut. She can fail to remember, fake anger (”What difference does it make”) and otherwise run out the clock. Holder and Lerner and a host of other appointees did the same thing. Did they flat out lie, or did they just not tell the truth? Hillary would have no problem with either.

[TigersEye]

Here is a video of Rep. Chaffetz saying that Gen. Ham, commander of AFRICOM at that time, told him that assets were near enough to help and ready to go.

AFRICOM leader General Carter Ham was never given the order to secure the consulate in Benghazi. Youtube 1:43

Adm. James Lyons (Ret.) on Growing Benghazi Scandal

ADMIRAL LYONS: …All those comforting words that “We don’t want to put our forces at risk.” We had people at risk—they were crying for help! In a situation, you go with the resources you have available—and, in this particular case, we did have that 130-man Marine force recon team sitting there at Sigonella. Even if I only got 50 of them over there, that would have been significant in turning the situation around. We may not have been able to save the ambassador, but we certainly could have saved those other two SEALs that were over on the annex.

ADMIRAL LYONS: In perpetuating this lie, we also had administration officials lying to Congressional committees. That’s a felony. So, “What difference does it make?” It makes all the difference in the world. You cannot flaunt the truth here, just walk away from it and, basically, tell the American public to stuff it. That’s not acceptable.

The point on the organizing the two Marine anti-terrorist teams in Rota, that was good to go ahead and stand ’em up. What I find incomprehensible: The first team, it took them 23 hours to go a few hundred miles from Rota to Tripoli. I could go around the world in 23 hours, so that makes absolutely no sense to me.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the assets were in motion preparing to receive an order to go.

How the military preps.

How an embassy rescue works.

Cross Border Authority.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.
0bama refused to issue Cross Border Authority!

[Ray76]

In other words, quit leaking evidence

The MSM is a good description of the Antichrist

I thought the exact same thing.

[IMR 4350]

DING! DING! DING!

WE HAVE A WINNER!

They also used the cheap attorney trick of “conditioned response”.

Telling an obvious lie over and over to get “the jury” to form it’s own opinion as to what the truth is.

In this case they kept repeating the lie the terrorist “spontaneously” responded to a protest in Egypt over a video.

Everyone was conditioned to say “there was no connection” to the video.

In reality the attack was planned then the video protest was planned to create the “spontaneous” lie.

No one was supposed to be killed, they were supposed to be taken hostage the same as with Jimmy Carter.

Since no one on “the jury” would believe the “spontaneous” lie “the jury” would be open for suggestions as to what did happen.

The Idea was to blame Mitt Romney and the repubs of collaborating with the terrorist to make Zippo look like Peanuts Carter.

Zippo wasn’t supposed to be reelected.

The hostages would have been released when Romney took office.

They were trying to create an “October Surprise II” for Hillary to run against Romney on in 2016.

People tend to forget Hillary is an attorney.

She’s not very good at it, but she is an attorney and she uses cheap attorney tricks to fool “the jury” which is the American people.

Hillary doesn’t even care if she fools every member of “the jury” just the people that matter the so called right wing opinion makers.

[lentulusgracchus]

Why were The Five talking her up as a candidate contender today without mentioning this?

Horse, cart. Her being a candidate comes first. Then second. Then last. No Benghazi.

<snort!>

[lentulusgracchus]

Double-bump bump.

Elucidating the players shines light on the motives, and the motives inevitably wrap themselves around Obama and Clinton.

We're talking forty years in prison here, minimum. And that's if nobody gets really mad at them while they're on their way to Leavenworth.

[what's up]

I was wondering why Panetta quit so fast.

Evidently, he didn't want to be called for questioning because he'd have to contradict what the WH was saying.

[rockinqsranch]

The coverup is about the fact that the U.S. was there at all.

[Toespi]

After listening to Perino tonight, it sounds rather clear that she is a Hillary fan.

[Aria]

Hmmm...You lost me at “the idea was to blame Mitt Romney” and “zippy wasn’t supposed to be reelected”.

But I do agree with the diversionary tactics and also the theory that the witch and the doper were more interested in protecting their own @sses than they cared about American lives not their own.

[upchuck]

The article states that nobama and the Hildabeaste had a meeting at State at 10:50am on Sept 12. I thought nobama headed out that morning to a campaign event in (I think) Las Vegas. Maybe he left after the meeting?

And still no answer to the central, defining question: Who issued the Stand Down order?

Drip, drip, drip. Y’all had enough yet?

[IMR 4350]

People tend to forget the dems had a tribute to Peanuts Carter at their convention.

Now why would the dems want to associate Zippo with the failed 1 term President Carter?

Another cheap attorney trick to get right wing opinion makers to comparing Zippo to Carter and get the issue of “hostages” and “October surprise” into peoples minds before the fact of Benghazi and hostages being taken.

Four years of hearing how Romney stole the election and conspired with terrorist to make Obama look like Carter.

Repeat of what was done with Reagan and that’s almost an exact repeat of what Hillary did with Bush after 9/11/2001.

Go back and take a look at some of the orchestrated failures Zippo set up to take place after January 2013.

Just a few.

Undercounting the unemployment numbers before the election so the number would go up after January 2013. Blame it on Romney election.

Trayvon Martin case. No case there but blame it on white Republican racist al la Rodney King.

Red line with Syria. Obama even told us “his” credibility wasn’t on the line it was the credibility of the U.S. True statement had he not been reelected.

Stock market bubble from Fed pumping in money. If Romney didn’t appoint new head of Fed that would keep pumping in money, market would crash. Inflation if they did keep pumping in money. Either way republicans fault.

They could keep the lie going that everything was improving for 4 years but not for 8.

After 8 years of Obama’s failed policies both foreign and domestic it will be impossible for Hillary to ride Zippo’s coattails into the WH.

Easier for Hillary Zippo’s coattails in 2016 if Zippo set up a situation where Romney’s Presidency was guaranteed to be a failure and Hillary’s smear team constantly claimed Romney collaborated with terrorist to steal the election.

The left works on the principle “2 steps forward 1 step back” you will always win if the other guy takes “1 step forward and 2 steps back”.

[baddog 219]

[Aria]

Hmmm...I agree that Hillary running against a set-up Romney would have seemed more preferred than running following a certain to be miserable Obama record.

But I thought the whole “video did it” story was to get Obama re-elected...along with CYA for zero and the witch.

A pretty big gamble on their part to try to set up Romney but I definitely wouldn’t put it past Hillary - although hard to imagine Obama falling on his sword for her. Neither of them care about how many are hurt with their power mongering. What arrogant sociopaths - what makes them think they have the right to screw up our lives????

[tennmountainman]

Great article.
However don’t hold your breath waiting on Bonehead or Cantor or Issa
to do anything about it.

Damn good question. Next question is why do we think Fox news is all that different from the MSM?

[Yosemitest]

Because FoxNews has surrendered to George Soros.

Military Scramble Order Overseas, How They Work
First, I've got over 26 years working in military control towers, most of them as the watch supervisor/crew chief on duty.
Scrambling aircraft to respond to urgent situations normally starts at the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The scramble order comes down through a secured phone call on a direct line.
In the attack on the U.S. embassy on Benghazi, the drone control would have been from MacDill AFB, FL, by U.S. Central Command, and would have been in direct contact, or maybe even remote control to the situation room in the White House.
Watch this 4 minute 48 second video Inside the Situation Room.
The pResident SHOULD HAVE issued to order to scramble fighters to Benghazi, to get there in minimum time.
Then he SHOULD HAVE issued a second order scrambling AC-130 gunships to respond to Benghazi, and have them stand by for more orders.

This should have been controlled by the pResident, who should have monitored and responded with guidance from his Situation Room,

staffed by men and women from the Department of Homeland Security, the intelligence community, and the military,
all of whom are committed to ensuring that the President of the United States is provided all the information and intelligence he needs to do his job.

Read

THE PRESIDENT'S CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT MILITARY OPERATIONS AGAINST TERRORISTS AND NATIONS SUPPORTING THEM.

Here's one more piece of information.

“WHO GAVE THE STAND DOWN ORDER?”

That is THE QUESTION,
and if you know anything about government security and government intelligence,
you know that the ONLY person that has that authority is OBAMA!
Hillary is there to divert attention FROM THAT QUESTION.

Like Rush said:

" I'll tell you what happened today was, what I call, what others call, the ruling class, the political elite SAW a vulnerability.

Any time a ranking member of the government who is already in the protected class, which is the Democrat Party, is in the cross-hairs,
they're gonna circle the wagons and protect that person because they're protecting themselves.
And they're protecting the institution of the government, in this case the State Department.
They are not gonna permit a black eye.
The purpose of this, not only to cleanse Hillary and her record and setting up her future,
but this was about cleansing the oversight people and cleansing everybody in Congress,
from the Senate or whatever that was supposed to make sure this kind of stuff didn't happen and held people accountable,
that didn't happen.
This was circle the wagons time and put on a dog and pony show
to MAKE THE PEOPLE THINK it's been dealt with. "

Now we know that Obama was in the room watching Benghazi attack live.

I know from experience in the government (over 30 years) that the communication system allows for IMMEDIATE NOTIFICATION to the SITUATION ROOM,
as well as other agencies, of notification of a critical situation such as this.
I'm sure technology has changed and only gotten better since I retired, but read this with focus on FLASH OVERRIDE and FLASH.

The U.S. military also used the letters, relabeled, in their now defunct Autovon phone system.^[3] Here they were used before dialing the phone in order to give some calls priority, cutting in over existing calls if need be. The idea was to allow important traffic to get through every time. The levels of priority available were Flash Override (A), Flash (B), Immediate (C), and Priority (D), with Flash Override being the highest priority. Pressing one of these keys gave your call priority, overriding other conversations on the network. Pressing C, Immediate, before dialing would make the switch first look for any free lines, and if all lines were in use, it would disconnect any non-priority calls, and then any priority calls. Flash Override will kick every other call off the trunks between the origin and destination. Consequently, it was limited to the White House Communications Agency.

Precedence dialing is still done on the military phone networks, but using number combinations (Example: Entering 93 before a number is a priority call) rather than the separate tones and the Government Emergency Telecommunications Service has superseded Autovon for any civilian priority telco access.

Present-day uses of the A, B, C and D keys on telephone networks are few, and exclusive to network control. For example, the A key is used on some networks to cycle through different carriers at will (thereby listening in on calls). Their use is probably prohibited by most carriers. The A, B, C and D tones are used in radio phone patch and repeater operations to allow, among other uses, control of the repeater while connected to an active phone line.

The *, #, A, B, C and D keys are still widely used worldwide by Amateur radio operators for repeater control, remote-base operations and VOIP-based communications systems.

DTMF tones are also used by some cable television networks and radio networks to signal the local cable company/network station to insert a local advertisement or station identification. These tones were often heard during a station ID preceding a local ad insert. Previously, terrestrial television stations also used DTMF tones to shut off and turn on remote transmitters.

DTMF signaling tones can also be heard at the start or end of some VHS (Video Home System) cassette tapes. Information on the master version of the video tape is encoded in the DTMF tone. The encoded tone provides information to automatic duplication machines, such as format, duration and volume levels, in order to replicate the original video as closely as possible.

DTMF tones are sometimes used in caller ID systems to transfer the caller ID information, however in the USA only Bell 202 modulated FSK signaling is used to transfer the data.

There is more you need to read.

This has been planned for a VERY LONG TIME.
Obama is solely responsible for this.
Hillary claimed “No Knowledge” of gun running
and told Rand Paul he needed to ask the CIA.


Let's look at some of the facts.

Obama Arranged Benghazi Trip That Resulted In Murder Of US AMB Chris Stevens

Arms Flow to Syria May Be Behind Benghazi Cover-Up states:
" During the 2011 Libyan revolt against Muammar Qaddafi, reckless U.S. policy flung American forces and money into the conflict on the side of the rebels, who were known at the time to include Al Qaeda elements. Previously the number two official at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Christopher Stevens was named as the official U.S. liaison to the Libyan opposition in March, 2011.

Stevens was tasked with helping to coordinate U.S. assistance to the rebels, whose top military commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, was the leader of the Al Qaeda affiliate, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). That means that Stevens was authorized by the U.S. Department of State and the Obama administration to aid and abet individuals and groups that were, at a minimum, allied ideologically with Al Qaeda, the jihadist terrorist organization that attacked the homeland on the first 9/11, the one that’s not supposed to exist anymore after the killing of its leader, Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011. "
[This article is well worth your time.]

Obama the arms broker to al-Qaeda states [this article is also well worth your time] :
" Now we learn that Ambassador Chris Stevens’s mission in Benghazi on that fatal day was to organize the shipment of arms to the rebel militias in Syria.

And that means: the shipment of arms, by order of the President of the United States, to al-Qaeda,
the terrorist organization which the President himself constantly declares to be the enemy of his country. 


No wonder President Obama, Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the rest of the stoats and weasels have been lying their heads off and trying to put the blame for the whole hideous and tragic episode – for what amounts to an act of war – on somebody’s little video. Scraping the bottom of the excuses-barrel.



The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not simply been engaging, legitimating, enriching and emboldening Islamists who have now taken over or are ascendant in much of the Middle East.

Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, the leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. "

SOURCES: SLAIN U.S. AMBASSADOR RECRUITED JIHADISTS
Egyptian officials say Stevens worked with Saudis against Assad

Was Syrian weapons shipment factor in ambassador’s Benghazi visit? states:
" Libyan-flagged vessel Al Entisar, which means "The Victory," was received in the Turkish port of Iskenderun -- 35 miles from the Syrian border -- on Sept. 6, just five days before Ambassador Chris Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed …

… On the night of Sept. 11, in what would become his last known public meeting, Stevens met with the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin, and escorted him out of the consulate front gate one hour before the assault began at approximately 9:35 p.m. local time.

… the timing and the meeting between the Turkish diplomat and Stevens was "unusual."

According to an initial Sept. 14 report by the Times of London, Al Entisar was carrying 400 tons of cargo. …

The cargo reportedly included surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, RPG's and Russian-designed shoulder-launched missiles known as MANPADS. …

… It was reported there was a fight about the weapons and who got what "between the free Syrian Army and the Muslim Brotherhood."

' The point is that both of these weapons systems are extremely accurate and very simple to use,' Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt explained. He said the passage of weapons from Libya to Syria would escalate the conflict. ' With a short amount of instruction, you've got somebody capable of taking down any, any aircraft. Anywhere in the world. ' … "

Libyan Officials Claim US Was Warned 3 DAYS BEFORE Deadly Benghazi Consulate Attack

More details emerge on U.S. ambassador's last moments from CNN states:
" Three days before the deadly assault on the United States consulate in Libya, a local security official says he met with American diplomats in the city and warned them about deteriorating security.

Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security.

He said they told the diplomats that the security situation wasn't good for international business.

'The situation is frightening, it scares us,' Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He did not say how they responded.

Mabrouk said it was not the first time he has warned foreigners about the worsening security situation in the face of the growing presence of armed jihadist groups in the Benghazi area. "

Benghazi: Symbol of Obama's Leadership

Obama Admits He Is A Muslim

So, let us remember.

Muslims are well know for lying about their faith.
MUSLIMS are allowed to LIE and deceive NON MUSLIMS, if it benefits or protects ISLAM.
Qur'an (16:106) - Establishes that there are circumstances that can "compel" a Muslim to tell a lie.

Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves."

Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.

Qur'an (40:28) - A man is introduced as a believer, but one who must "hide his faith" among those who are not believers.

Qur'an (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts"

Qur'an (66:2) - "Allah has already ordained for you, (O men), the dissolution of your oaths"

Qur'an (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers." The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means deceit. If Allah is deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)

Taken collectively these verses are interpreted to mean that there are circumstances when a Muslim may be "compelled" to deceive others for a greater purpose.

For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ). then watch William Federer explain it, from Jan. 25, 2012 at CC Chino Hills, CA. It's a MUST WATCH for everyone,Christians, Athiests and even Muslims!

As retired military myself, I've seen the damage of "keeping secrets" about bad leaders.
Obama is EVIL, pure and simple.
Please watch Glenn Beck with Trevor Loudon & his book "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".

Then watch the 29 minute 13 seconds video Trevor Loudon- An Urgent (and chilling) Message for America.



Barack Obama and the Enemies Within

Obama may be feigning "incompetence," thinking he's too sly, being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his mentoring was from Fabian Fascism..

Remember:" The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked : who can know it? "

The "Establishment Republicans" will probably NOT want to IMPEACH the TREASONIST Barack Hussein Obama II.
But it's better for the country that Obama suffer the penalty, the strongest penalty for his actions, and his inactions.
Let's look at the Presidential Oaths of Office.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States,
and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Now who among us really believes Obama did any of that ?
To Obama, that was "Just words. Just speeches! "
Damn him ! Damn him to hell !

I'll finish this with asking you to read

‘Obama and the Threat to Israel’: See the ‘Absolutely Uncertain’ Video That’s Gotten 650K Hits in Three Days .

Whew!

Well, I’m a housewife. And I could tell at 2pm CST on 12 sept, 2012, that our embassy people, our diplomats were being thrown to the locals, in country, with a stupid lie for an excuse, that was making our country look stupid, weak and traitorous, uncaring of our diplomats and that it would never be right as long as this crew was in and tge media was being depended on for information and opinion

It will never go away until it is straightened out

Never

Our enemies will never respect us

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Yes, their announcement that day was right there and then obviously a disgusting insult to the intelligence of all who know anything about the players and recent history and players on the world’s stage. Ms Rice’s repeating a obvious lie on talk shows a few days later on a Sunday was a bad acting job with the same obvious lie and coverup of the facts.
