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

Posted on 05/23/2014 4:17:44 PM PDT by don-o

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.

The person next to West was studying the post apocalyptic architecture of Detroit...if it were a five hour flight he could have delved into why, but alas it wasn’t meant to be -he stuck to more pressing issues.

I remember that, and also remember thinking Heriidge must have some really GOOD sources for her reporting, which throughout this whole debacle has been excellent!

possibly...but to refuse security and actively draw it down in the face of known threats suggests more then incompetence.....What was the important mission in Benghazi that needed the ambassadors immediately on 9/11 no less....why were stand down orders given?... and why was the video hoax trotted out so quickly?....Seems it was a planned excuse known way in advance?....if I were planning a staged kidnapping, that's pretty much how I'd plan it....just saying

This makes West sound like a chump. Did he check out his informant at all?

It's hard for me to get perspective. FR has been on this from the get go. But, has it gotten much exposure even on Fox? I mean the weapons dealing piece.

Nope. This is one of those bits of trivia that those of us who've been in the muck of this for some time become aware of.  Eventually it will be all written off as some whacky 'conspiracy theory', and anyone who mentiones it will be ridiculed with comments about 'black helicopters' and similar phrases.

The bottom line about Bengazi? The CIA was supplying weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (and also incidently to al Quaida). The embassy attack was blowback that happens when you deal with these kind of scum. This is the real reason for all of the coverup. Nothing else matters as far as the powers that be are concerned.

No one. Not even the republicans on the committee to "investigate" this wants the full truth to come out because it would give Americans a small glimpse into how utterly corrupt and venal our government has become.

Some of us will know about it, and understand, but noone with the power to do anything about it will touch it with a ten foot pole because they want to continue to consume oxygen.

I haven't read down this thread yet, but I'm sure the disinformation specialists will be out in force.

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.

Allow me to briefly point out that the government knows exactly who was in the seat on that airplane. Now, tie in the fact that the NSA has publicly come out talking about making 'connections' with 'metadata'. They know who was there. The also knows who knows who by virtue of phone and email metadata (they don't even need the actual conversations for this). They can easily connect this guy back to the originating person if he's telling the truth (i.e. that he, personally talked to the person who was on the ground). Now, we know that that guy has been positively identified within 1 minute of West posting his account.

Question for those in the audience: What is the estimated life-span of this person? Days?

Why would West ID someone who really has nothing to do with the story.

But he did ID him to those who can 'take care' of the situation. See my previous post.

I think West may have run a counter.

Might have been a volunteer? Don’t know the exact think of what was done but might be more than can be estimated (imho).

The Mooch probably ordered BO to do whatever it takes to win the election...lying, cheating whatever. I think he is scared of her and maybe rightly so. She knows all the secrets and could destroy him if he doesn’t act right.

Well, if there was clear evidence of fraud, why didn’t the gutless Republican party do something about it? Makes me want to scream. The dems would be yelling fraud even if there wasn’t any evidence and would get their way.

‘Under oath’ means nothing to fascist scum like Axelrod and his little barry bastard boy, and the entire regime of scum and villainy.

Well, show that all the opposition in Syria is al Qaeda linked and then you might get somewhere with your kidnapping conspiracy. I tend to believe the Egyptian moose slime bruderhood was pissed at the regime for grabbing weaponry to send to Syrian opposition, so they stepped in to take what they could get. The compound was probably a storage location of the weaponry to be moved and that’s why the Turkish envoy was there having supper with Stevens that night.

“I hope Gowdy lives long enough to get to the bottom of it.”

I don’t think that would ever happen. but they have other ways of getting to people, especially when we know for an absolute fact that every one of his family, extended family and friends are having all their calls tapped by the nsa.

Who secured the annex after the attack ?

No one. It was left open and in ruins for anyone to go through. In fact a reporter (ABC? NBC? CBS?) did go in and find documents on the ground. The FBI didn't get there for two or more weeks.

How did the attack END ?

Ty Woods and his team drove them off and it seems the attackers followed them back to the CIA annex to link up with other jihadis and continue the attack there.

Stevens was found four or five hours after Woods' team had come and gone.

CNN just happened upon Steven’s diary when they thought it was going to be a kidnapping. Just like they secured a reporting base from Saddam Hussein to trash W.
