Exclusive: Confidential source reveals to me what really happened in Benghazi
allenbwest.com ^ | May 23, 2014 | Allen West

Today as I returned from Detroit, I had a moment that I truly felt was God sent, as I don’t believe in coincidences. It happened on one of my flights, and it was two hours I will never forget.

I was seated beside someone who personally knew one of the men who was there on the roof in Benghazi. This person was excited to share with me the “ground truth” of what happened September 11, 2012.

My seat mate drew schematics to orient me to the “time and spacing” and the direction of the attack. I learned about the repeated orders to the men at the CIA annex to stand down and do nothing — thank God two of them, Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods, lived up to their code of honor and ran to the sound of the guns, resulting in their loss of life — but the preservation of life for others, their fellow Americans.

I learned about the proximity of the staging area of the attack to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the attackers were indeed Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaida. I came to understand why Ambassador Chris Stevens was there in the first place and that he had in fact requested better security but was denied – the question is, by whom? And I learned that the Martyrs of 17 February Brigade were in charge of security and were the ones who opened the gates, then fled.

I learned there are those who are being threatened with their pensions being cut off if they come forth to speak.

And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi.

Thank you for the compliment but am a nobody and certainly not a spook.

There it is. Find out to where stand down orders originated.

Like I've said a few time here, you got Obama and Hillary butts a sling. I don't have much doubt that is where the BS orders came.

The attackers set up the roadblocks at the OUTSET of the Stevens/Turk Ambassador dinner, but magically succeeded in passing THROUGH those road-blocks, hours later.

Was it really just his LUCK, or did this, too, MAKE SENSE, if the bigger, terrible picture were to dawn on the investigator..?

You know, I really cannot say your, “Turk sent to set up the Bengazi dinner in order to BIRD-DOG Stevens” is crazy.

I think you are onto something, there.

If you simply embrace the treachery, it all MAKES SENSE, and it is sense we are after.

I first heard the weapons connection within 48 hours of the death of the ambassador and I heard it on Fox and I heard it from one of the female journalists, Catherine Herridge.

A lead correspondent for the network’s coverage of the 9/11 Benghazi terrorist attack, Catherine was first to report on September 12th, based on an interview with the chairman of House Intelligence Committee, Congressman Mike Rogers that “It was a coordinated, military-style, commando-type raid." On September 17th, one day after Ambassador’s Rice’s controversial claims on the Sunday talk shows, Catherine was first to report there was no demonstration at the consulate when the attack unfolded.

What stuck with me is a brief side discussion she had about manpads/missiles perhaps being lost and efforts to find them. She didn't have the whole story, but the weapons connection was there very early on. I'm fairly certain it was Herridge.

I saw a Fox panel before 9/11/12 specifically say that the Blind Sheikh would be released before the election or end of the year. Apparently, this was common knowledge in DC at the time.

How and what did they know?

Great story and very possible true.

But it begs the question, why did West not ID this person?

I asked this due to the fact the person he was seated next to could easily be identified by anyone with access.

many knowledgable people believe that obozo did not win in 2012.

clear evidence of fraud in all the key swing states was the difference.

Once more my Thanks but I seldom make sense. I try to make sense but do believe that the group think, at Free Republic, is what finds the clues and the truth and I deserve no credit. And (imho) all deserve credit at Free Republic because all are the think tank dedicated to finding the truth. I am just one but put into the think tank with everyone; I trust all here to find the truth. (imho) working together is what makes this site Great.

What brand of popcorn does the White House favor when eagerly watching Americans being murdered?

under this Regime, Al qaeda is in the Whitehouse and Republicans like Mccain openly encouraged aligning with them.

Who West didn’t even claim to meet, nor does he even claim to know who the guy is.

My point is, this is a pretty weak “exclusive” by West - “I met a guy, who knows a guy . . .” He can do better.

“...but chances of him sitting next to someone like that are very small.”

My first thought, too.

I’m sure plenty of butter was involved.

“I know West is a smart dude... but chances of him sitting next to someone like that are very small. If it was not an accident, we’re being set up”

Good observation.

What struck me was his statement that there was no kidnap/hostage plan for Stevens.

If there was then Hillary and or Obama had to make sure Stevens was there on that particular day, which means they were in on the attack.

I’m going with set up by a 2 bit attorney trying to create their own defense.

I’m also going to bet that 2 bit attorney is Hillary.

I think the lack of security was simple incompetence.

Read the story closer - the guy sitting next to West on the plane was NOT the guy who was on the ground in Benghazi. The guy on the plane claimed he KNEW a guy who was in Benghazi. Why would West ID someone who really has nothing to do with the story.

Read my post closer. I never suggested that, you did.

My point was anyone with access could ID the person who informed West of these details.

The “kidnap/rescue” meme is still on the table for me.

Amb. Stevens was taken to a local hospital, by “locals” hours after the attack.

This makes no sense.

Were these “locals” just milling about after the attack and they happened to find him alive and thought they should rush him to the hospital ?

Who secured the annex after the attack ?

The same guys providing security before the attack ?

How did the attack END ?

Because the bad guys ran out of ammo or because they felt threatened ?

Maybe a hit and run and they thought they did the damage they came to do ?

You knew this a year before the Benghazi attacks took place on September 11, 2012?

He thought enough to make the story public and clearly felt this individual was credible an in a position to be knowledgeable.

No?
