Exercise in Not Connecting the Dots

Down the Memory Hole. The frenetic stories of the moment in the past have been swallowed up by the waters of Lethe, the river of forgetfulness.

We see the DOJ has made a great show of arresting the leader of the attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi. The Trump administration has brought the leader of the attack, Zubayar al-Bakoush, to American soil to face justice.

"In 2012, Islamist terrorists carried out an horrific attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, murdering four Americans: Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty," Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard noted.

But, wait, aren't Bill and Hillary making all the rounds, proclaiming loudly that their Gregory Epstein testimony should be made public?

These dots are blinking wildly, with red lights, but the connections between them are being studiously, Not drawn.

During the Obama Administration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acted to supply the Libyan rebels with Stinger Missiles and other weapons to overthrow the Libyan President, Muammar Gaddafi. ("We came, we saw, he died.")

Some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan and were used against the U.S. military. It was July 25th, 2012 when a US Chinook helicopter was taken down by one of our own Stinger Missiles, because the Taliban didn’t arm the Stinger Missile and the US Chinook helicopter didn’t explode, but had to land.

An ordnance team recovered the serial number off the missile which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles being kept in Qatar by the CIA.

It was part of a larger destabilization campaign, orchestrated through the CIA and supported by the State Department, to dismantle secular regimes in the Middle East and replace them with chaos-friendly Islamist factions more pliable to Western control.

Shoulder-fired MANPADS (Man-Portable Air Defense Systems), like the FIM-92 Stinger, were distributed through covert channels, funneled out of Qatar and via Turkey into the hands of so-called "moderate" rebels—many of whom had direct links to al-Qaeda.

The entire operation was run outside of Congressional oversight, part of the same covert architecture that led to the arming of jihadists in Syria.

They don't have to theorize how stupid we are. We just swallow the latest sensational click-bait dangled in front of our bedazzled eyes, and we're led off down the yellow-brick road.

All of which means...what?

We’ve allowed in a large segment of people who SUPPORT the terrorists.
Mamdani is openly becoming an islamist preacher.
And people are watching the “news” and becoming afraid to deport the cartel gangs.

Trump has been our savior. America needs a new generation of saviors, but our new “saviors” don’t even want to turn this into Central America, they want a Middle East level sh!thole.

Here is a GOOD dot not connected by this article. While it looks like America is just another dummy helping Islam colonize the World something wonderful is happening in Iran

What is happening to Iran is historic. Never before has an Islamic country had a revolt against Islam itself. The only time Islam has lost territory has been when outside forces have been victorious.  This could be the spark that burns down the whole merciless war of Islamic colonization of the World.  America would be foolish to pass over this opportunity to jump start the beginning of the end of this cancerous 14 century long plague of ruthless evil .

So, what’s your point?

It’s Gregory’s fault.

The public has an attention span of six weeks, or until the next ‘bombshell’ happens. Also, history started last year.
