Still More on Benghazi

                I have written about the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, several times in the past month.  I posted on May 7 about the four whistleblowers who had come forth to testify about the happenings in Benghazi.  The very next day I wrote more about the congressional hearing about Benghazi.    A week later the Obama Administration was fighting three major scandals. The next day I wrote about the difficulties of staying ahead of the scandals.  I questioned why so many scandals were popping up all of a sudden and wondered what was being hidden.

                I was not the only person wondering about the frenzy.  Doug Hagmann was also asking questions about the flurry of scandals suddenly thrust upon us.  “As the details of Benghazi are beginning to emerge from `whistleblowers’ and the murderous events are being rightfully elevated to the proper realm of criminal conspiracy, other scandals have suddenly seemed to erupt, almost as if cued by a complicit choreographer.  Most egregious misdeeds of the Internal Revenue Service, for example, that allegedly targeted Conservative groups, from 501c3 organizations to any group with Tea party or Constitution in their names, were suddenly `revealed.’

                “Other scandals of lesser significance, but nonetheless poking at the embers of public ire and intolerance are popping up as well.  Watching the people who are reading the multiple news headlines on various news aggregator sites are like watching spectators at Wimbledon, as their heads move from side to side as they follow the ball in play.  The white noise of new problems are constantly erupting, resulting in a feeding frenzy in the waters surrounding the Executive branch.

                “While fascinating to watch, has anyone stopped to consider that the process of chumming the waters with a flurry of cascading news events, combined with a docu-dump of 100 pages of Benghazi e-mails is actually a methodically orchestrated diversion?  What is it we are not supposed to be seeing amid the white noise of new controversies of varying values?  …

                “Like a levy that has been suspiciously breached, the informational flood created by these news events is without recent precedent.  The timing of this flood is of particularly critical importance.  The headlines are diverting our attention away from a critical window of investigative value relating to Benghazi.  Could it be that we’re seeing a form of force majeure being implemented to overwhelm and distract us from something far more important to truth seekers and consequently, much more lethal to Obama’s second term?  Perhaps the Cloward-Piven strategy adapted and modified for the modern news cycles of today?”

                Hagmann discussed how both the Watergate and the Benghazi cover ups were to hide a “nugget” of information that would damage the administration.  During the Watergate investigation a great battle took place about tapes that were made in the White House.  When the tapes were finally released there were 18½ minutes not accounted for.  “Analysis of that effacement determined that it was the result of at least five separate manual erasures, verifying that the missing time memorialized by these tapes was no accident.

                “Whether it’s Watergate or Benghazi, there’s one piece of evidence in both of these criminal cover-ups from which the actors involved try to deflect your attention by any means possible….  It is a highly protected secret nestled among other less damning facts, diversions and deceptions.

                “Benghazi is no exception, but instead provides a textbook example of diversion from the golden nugget hidden inside a crusted shell made to look like all others.  So, just what is that particular nugget of criminal naughtiness?

                “The nugget that is being hidden here is not content of the memos relating to matters of diplomatic security, but something far more nefarious and elusive by its mere simplicity.  Like the questions that surrounded the mysterious 18 ½ minute gap in the Watergate tapes forty-years ago, there is a period of missing time that few seem anxious to address.  By order of magnitude, however, this missing time is far greater than anything we saw with Watergate.  Instead of 18 ½ minutes of presidential time, it’s nearly 18 ½ hours of time involving actions, utterances, commands or lack thereof of Barack Hussein Obama as Americans were being killed a half-world away.

                “Expose that nugget and I suspect the finding will be far more damaging, far more troubling, and exceedingly more alarming than anyone has begun to imagine.  It is this mystical missing period of time where many clues exist.  Exactly where was Barack Hussein Obama following his 5:00 meeting in the Oval Office until the next day?  Where wasn’t he?  It’s almost as if the Wizard of Oz himself waved his magical wand to divert attention away from those lost hours.”

                Hagmann’s article continued with his ideas about what was happening and why this time period is important.  Meanwhile, Doc Vega posted an article about a retired four-star Admiral blowing the whistle  on the Benghazi attacks.  Vega wrote that the new evidence brought forth by the retired Admiral James A. Lyons “promises to break the case wide open!”

                “… Finally, an authoritative figure with the proper credentials has stepped up to the plate to tell the true story of what did happen without the lies and cover-ups that have so far kept those guilty of murder from standing trial.  The admission on the part of this man will likely blow the Benghazi scandal wide open and lead to arrests if we can get our legal system to act as it should.  That, however, is a big if.”

                Vega claims that Admiral Lyons revealed “the entire plot that led to the deaths of Americans in Libya that could have been prevented, who gave the orders, and why events took place as they tragically did….  In his words Lyons says that the attack on Benghazi was a bungled kidnapping attempt to be perpetrated upon Ambassador Stevens.  This was to appear to be a hostage exchange for a terrorist prisoner who was to be released in trade for a supposedly captured US ambassador.  The trade would have been for Omar Abdel Rahman, an international prisoner, known as the Blind Sheikh.

                “This apparent abduction by terrorists of our ambassador and then negotiated trade for the Blind Sheikh would have been the `October Surprise’ that would have elevated President Obama’s flagging popularity and boosted his approval ratings for a re-election.  A dramatic prisoner exchange that saved our ambassador’s life.  However, something went horribly wrong…..

                “With what should have been only a staged kidnapping of Ambassador J. Christian Stevens, instead, Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty refused a stand down order and began doing their job of protecting the ambassador using force.  Immediately the well-trained Seals began inflicting heavy casualties upon the terrorists who thought they were merely in a cake walk to abduct Ambassador Stevens without mishap.  As a result of the plan going awry, a massive attack arose from the anger of the terrorists who felt they had been betrayed by President Obama.  In the aftermath of the battle which saw Navy Seal Glen Doherty killed after the embassy had been overrun along with the ambassador’s staff.  Ambassador Steven’s body showed up 5 hours later at a Benghazi hospital supposedly overcome by smoke, but as the initial foreign press reports indicated a much different outcome, in fact, Stevens was raped, tortured, and dragged around Benghazi in retaliation for the botched Obama White House plan.  If not for foreign press agents, who were there and saw, we would never have known the truth as the sold out leftist media of the US would have hidden this fact to aid President Obama’s campaign efforts.”

                Megyn Kelly interviewed Admiral Lyons on November 5, 2012.

                The Washington Times published an article by Admiral Lyons himself stating that the report by Independent Accountability Review Board about the attack on Benghazi leaves important questions unanswered.  Here are some of his questions:  “How could the CIA not detect the planning or the movement of the jihadists who carried out the `organized’ attack?”  [Why weren’t the two Marine anti-terrorist teams based in Rota, Spain, deployed to Benghazi and Tripoli?]  “Why [didn’t we] secure the Benghazi mission compound?  What is it that our personnel were kept from seeing?”  [Why wasn’t the 130-man, fully armed and well-led Marine Force-Recon unit on the ground in Sigonella, Sicily, sent to Benghazi since they “could have been in Benghazi in a matter of a few hours”?]  [Why wasn’t a fighter aircraft sent to “make a low pass in full after-burner since it has been used in similar circumstances as “an effective tactic for dispersing a mob”?]   “Why [didn’t we] request security assistance from the Turkish or Italian Benghazi consulates or the British security team that reportedly was at the mission compound only one hour before the attack?  Each has stated that they would have provided support but were never asked.  Why?” “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?”

                Admiral Lyons concluded his article, “This is a major betrayal that cost the lives of four Americans.  Congress needs to form a special bipartisan investigative committee to uncover the facts and make them known to the American public.  Nothing less is acceptable.”

                It sounds to me that we really do need to have a special investigator looking into the Benghazi attacks.  The report that the murder of Ambassador Stevens was the result of a botched kidnapping attempt would answer a lot of questions.  If Obama really did arrange to have our Ambassador kidnapped to exchange for the Blind Sheikh for his own political advantage, then he needs to be held accountable.  If this is true, he would in fact have blood on his hands.  No wonder he went and hid for 18 ½ hours!

Three Major Scandals

                The Obama Administration is battling on three fronts as Americans are asking more and more questions about what is happening and why.  The three issues include the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, the IRS targeting conservative individuals and groups, and the DOJ illegally tapping twenty telephone lines at the Associated Press in an effort to identify a whistleblower.  The Administration is trying to cover up all three scandals with lies and more lies.

                The terrorist attacks in Benghazi jumped into the headlines last week during congressional hearings.  The testimonies of three whistleblowers were at direct odds to the reports out of the Obama Administration.  It seems that the more we learn about the attacks, the more lies we hear.  The lies have come from a variety of people, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Jay Carney, and others.

                Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, wrote:  “There can be honest differences of opinion on many subjects.  But there can also be dishonest differences.  Last week’s testimony under oath about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, makes painfully clear that what the Obama administration told the American people about those events were lies out of whole cloth.”

                Glenn Beck highlighted the lies that he considered to be the “most important and revealing falsehoods” that were “fed to the American people” about what happened in Benghazi.  He noted that there were more lies, but he chose only the “top” twenty and listed them in no particular order.

1.   Susan Rice, UN Ambassador:  “Our current best assessment based on the information we have at present is that in fact what this began as was a spontaneous, not a premeditated, response to what had transpired in Cairo.”  (The testimonies of whistleblowers prove that the Obama Administration knew in advance.)

2.   Barack Obama, US President:  “What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests.”  (Testimony proves that the video was not the cause.)

3.  Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s campaign spokesperson:  “But the entire reason that this has become the, you know, political topic it is is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.”  (No, it is because four Americans were killed and the Administration lied to Americans.)

4.   President Obama:  “That is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video, sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world.”  (He was still blaming the video days or weeks later.  This is important because he is using the defense that “we corrected it” by calling it an act of terror two days later.)

5.   President Obama to the UN:  “I know there are some who ask, why don’t we just ban such a video.  The answer is enshrined in our laws.  Our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech.”  (He is still blaming the video and claiming that “some” people were calling for freedom of speech to be limited.)

6.   Hilary Clinton, then Secretary of State:  “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”  (She blamed the video.)

7.   Victoria Nuland, State Department:  “We can all condemn this reprehensible video.”  (She blamed the video.  This makes three people from the State Department, one political operative, and the U.S. President.)

8.   Jay Carney, White House spokesman:  “Find the video that has been so offensive to Muslims to be disgusting and reprehensible.”

9.   Hillary Clinton:  “To address the video circulating on the Internet that has led to these protests.”  (She blamed the video – again.)

10. Susan Rice:  “Was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video.”  (She blamed the video – again.)

11. Jay Carney:  “And it is in response, not to United States policy, not to obviously the administration, not to the American people.  It is in response to a video.”  (He blamed the video – again.)

12. Jay Carney:  “Now we do not yet have indication that it was preplanned or premeditated.”  (“One of the people in Benghazi called the State Department with concerns warning of the attack” days before the attack.)

13. Joe Biden, U.S. Vice President:  “Well, we weren’t told they wanted more security and we did not know they wanted more security again.”  (Reporter:  “And CBS has learned that the U.S. mission in Libya reportedly – repeatedly asked for better security before last month’s attack on the American consulate in Benghazi.  A State Department officer says there were 13 confirmed security threats in the six months before the attack.  Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed three weeks ago.”

14. Jay Carney:  “The White House and State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two – of these two institutions were changing the word consulate to diplomatic facility because consulate was inaccurate.”  (He continued the lies.)

15. President Obama:  “And make no mistake:  We will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.”  (No terrorists have been arrested, but the poor guy who made a video is still in prison.)

16. President Obama:  “You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who is extremely offensive video directed at Mohammed and Islam.  We had nothing to do with the video.”  (He blames the video – again.)

17. David Axelrod, President’s right-hand man:  “It’s not a matter of blaming, that’s just the facts.  Sometimes intelligence has to catch up with the reality on the ground.  This was one of those cases.”  (Did he throw the CIA under the bus?  Good intelligence normally comes from information on the ground.  The Administration knew within a few hours that it was a terrorist attack but still blamed the video for more than two weeks.)

18.  Stephanie Cutter, mastermind of Obama’s re-election team:  “First I pretty the faux outrage from the RNC and the Republican Party.”  (Did she actually blame Republicans for trying to get to the truth about what happened in Benghazi?)

19. Hillary Clinton:  “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they would go kill some Americans?”  (It does make a difference to many Americans, including the friends and families of the men who were killed.)

20.  Jay Carney:  “Let’s be clear:  These protests were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region.”

                The second scandal, the one at the IRS, may have been broken just to take heat from the Administration about Benghazi, but the President and his administration are being caught in lies about this issue also.  The President said yesterday that he heard about the problem the same time that all of us did, but Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, admitted the administration knew about the scandal since April 22. 

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, told Glenn Beck on his TV show that the White House Counsel’s office was notified of the IRS issue three weeks ago.

                David Limbaugh, writer, author, attorney, and brother of Rush Limbaugh, wrote:  “It’s disgraceful that government bureaucrats, whether on their own initiative or at the direction of superiors, singled out anyone for special scrutiny, but what their selection criteria were makes it even worse.  Reportedly, the IRS field office in charge of evaluating applications for tax-exempt status decided to focus on groups making statements that [criticize the administration and what they are doing.]

                “Surely, we all understand the awesome and, frankly, horrifying power the IRS has come to have in our system, which originally didn’t even contemplate an income tax, much less oversight of it by such a monstrous bureaucratic leviathan.  What could be more chilling and destructive to our liberties than a government targeting – that’s its word, not mine – private citizens and organizations based on their political and ideological views?

                “If the First Amendment means anything, it is that the full force of the federal government will be used to safeguard, not suppress, the liberties of American citizens to utter political speech, especially speech critical of the government.  But instead, this IRS sought [to] abuse groups that criticized the administration and groups that wanted to teach people that under our Constitution, such government officials have no right to do this type of thing.

                The third scandal for the Administration comes from the discovery that the Department of Justice (DOJ) illegally tapped twenty telephone lines at the Associated Press (AP) in order to track down the identity of a whistleblower.  This is not the first time that this Administration has gone after whistleblowers, a practice that “sends a clear warning message to anyone thinking about ratting on the government.”

                The Blaze reported:  “The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls and the duration of each call, for the work and home phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Harford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.

                “In all, the government seized those records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012.  The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices whose phone records were targeted on a wide array of stories about government and other matters….”

                Buck Sexton, formerly an officer in the Central Intelligence Agency (assigned to the Counterterrorism Center and Office of Iraq Analysis) and currently national security editor at The Blaze, wrote:  “In just one week, President Barack Obama’s political machine has switched from endless campaign to survival mode.  And for the first time in Obama’s presidency, the damage to his regime may be permanent.

                “Three revelations have come together like an avalanche.  First, there was a Benghazi hearing that proved beyond any reasonable doubt that this administration is feckless, dishonest, and cravenly politicized.  But in its aftermath on Friday, an executive branch information dump dropped another bombshell:  the IRS does indeed target and intimidate conservative groups….

                “As the country was still reeling from the gut-wrenching testimony of three Benghazi whistleblowers and the IRS mea culpa, yet another log was thrown onto the bonfire of the Obama administration’s credibility.  Yesterday the Associated Press broke a news story that Obama’s Justice Department collected phone data on dozens of AP reporters as part of a national security leak investigation….”

                I am stunned that so much is happening at such a rapid rate, and I am curious as to the end result.  Many people think that this avalanche of investigations will bring down the Obama Administration, and some are calling for impeachment of the President.  Others think the scandals will be “swept under the rug” after a few questions are asked.  Still others think that employees at the lower levels will take the blows and the leaders will go free. 

Barack Obama has tried very hard to stand clear of anything that might stick to him and has effectively avoided doing any governing – just campaigning.  The fact that the scandals are coming from four different Departments – State, Justice, Finance (IRS), and Defense - with Secretaries supposedly answering directly to him indicates to me that he is responsible in one of at least two cases:  He knew about the issues and authorized them or he was not doing the work we pay him to do.  In either case, he keeps lying to us to cover up the scandals. 

We pay our Presidents $400,000 each year to administer the federal government, to supervise the federal employees, to oversee law enforcement officers and the military to keep us safe from foreign and domestic enemies, and to uphold our laws.  Those are his basic responsibilities, and he failed.  He is either intentionally doing wrong as part of his “fundamental transformation” of America or he is inept and cannot do the job.  I believe that we are way past the point where we should hold him accountable for his willing destruction of our nation or his inability to do the job.  I think it is time to put him under oath and start asking him some direct questions.

More on Benghazi

            The House Oversight Committee began another round of Benghazi hearings today.  The truth is slowly coming out because brave whistle-blowers are coming forward with first-hand information about what took place in Benghazi.  The leaked information portrays the Obama Administration as liars who spun a web of deceit.  Since the attacks took place just before the 2012 Presidential Election, we can safely assume the deceit took place for political reason.  The Oversight Committee hearing can be found on YouTube, with a very interesting exchange here.  

                Nearly eight months ago and on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, a United States facility was attacked in Benghazi, Libya.  The attacks claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, State Department employee Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.  Doherty and Woods fought bravely but were abandoned by the U.S. government.  Survivors of the attacks were rescued about twenty hours later, brought back to the United States and instructed to keep quiet.

                Although the Obama Administration was aware the facility was attacked by Islamic militants, they initially claimed that the attack took place because of a video critical of Islam was posted on YouTube.  President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice all made statements condemning the video and calling it “terribly offensive.” 

Glenn Beck and The Blaze have claimed for more than seven months that the Administration was being dishonest with us.  The new information is coming from whistle-blowers – from both the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency – who have first-hand information about what took place.  These courageous federal employees are risking their careers – and possibly their lives – by coming forward.  One of the claims to be confirmed by the whistle-blowers is the confirmation that a “stand down order” was given to the Special Forces team that could have reached the Americans before the second attack took place.

Beck reminded his listeners on Tuesday morning that he “came out three, four days into [the Benghazi thing] and I said:  `This is what I believe is happening.’  And I laid the story out.  And so far everything but the gun-running is panning out.  And I was told by a source last night that the gunrunning thing is a foregone conclusion, everyone in Washington, they all know it was gunrunning to Syrian rebels, which are now headed by the Muslim Brotherhood guy from Dallas, Texas.  The circle is complete.”

Beck added, “The media had this story dead to rights, they could’ve easily done this story and it would’ve changed the course of the election, but instead, now we have to go through scandal for the next three years.  We’re going to have to question Clinton and everybody in the State Department.”

Our President, our former Secretary of State, and other national leaders lied to us about the video and have done their best to cover up the happenings in Benghazi with the willing assistance of the mainstream media.  I believe the congressional hearing brought out a lot of truth about what happened, why it happened, and who is responsible in order for true justice to take place.  I was relieved to hear Representative Issis say that the hearing was closed but the investigation remained open.

Benghazi Update

                Terrorists attacked Americans at a facility in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012.  The facility was first called an “embassy.”  Then it was called a “consulate.”  Now it is being referred to as the “Benghazi mission.”  Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack, and other people were injured.  Even though watching the attack in real time, the leaders of the United States did not send any help to the Americans at the facility.

No one has been brought to justice for the attack even though President Obama recently reiterated his pledge to make sure the perpetrators are caught and forced to answer for their attack.  “Our job with respect to Benghazi has been to find out exactly what happened, to make sure that U.S. embassies – not just in the Middle East but around the world – are safe and secure, and to bring those who carried it out to justice.”

                The attack took place more than seven months ago.  When are we going to start bringing the perpetrators to justice?  Apparently the mastermind behind the attack has been identified but still “walks free” in Libya. 

There were approximately thirty survivors of the attack who could probably give a lot of information about what happened, but they have apparently been secluded and kept out of the reach of investigators. When are we going to hear their stories?

                Recently four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency have decided to retain lawyers and “are prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress.”  Attorney Victoria Toensing is now representing one of the whistle blowers, and she said that they “have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.”  `I’m not talking generally; I’m talking specifically about Benghazi – that people have been threatened.  And not just the State Department.  People have been threatened at the CIA.’”

                Adam Housley of Fox News interviewed a special operator who is frustrated by the lack of action from our government.  He was on the ground during the attack and also debriefed the responders; he was disguised for his own protection.  He asked to remain anonymous but “is speaking out because he’s `frustrated with the excuses, lies, and lack of a military response’ from the current administration.”  He said that “we’re messing up” on this investigation.  “We have all the capability, all the training, all the capacity to kill and capture not only terrorists involved with the specific events of [September 11] and Ambassador Steven’s death, but terrorists who are feeding other regions including Europe, that could eventually affect our national security – in the short term.  We’re not talking in mid-term or long-term; we’re talking short-term….  It’s a daily frustration.  [Emphasis added.]”

                Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton lost her cool while she testified to Congress in January about the Benghazi attack.  After a “series of questions” asked by Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), Clinton yelled her response:  “With all due respect, the fact is we have four dead Americans.  Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans.  What difference at this point does it make?”

                Jay Carney, White House spokesman, last week responded to a question about Benghazi whistleblowers being prevented from coming forward.  “Let’s be clear.  Benghazi happened a long time ago.”  Apparently he thinks it does not make any difference that four Americans were killed in the attack and our government is lying to the American public.  He added, “We are unaware of any agency blocking an employee who would like to appear before Congress to provide information related to Benghazi.”  President Obama also said that he was unaware of any such problem.  Secretary of State John Kerry has also been out trying to cover up any tracks.

                The FBI has recently posted a request for photographs of the Benghazi attack.  A man asked Rush Limbaugh a very important question recently, one that Rush admitted stood just as it was asked and without any comment by him.  The question had to do with why the FBI is just now – more than seven months after the fact – asking for these photographs when they asked for photographs of the Boston Marathon bombing within four days of that attack.

                Doug Hagmann published an article entitled “Trinkets of Treason” in which he claims we are “witnessing one of the biggest government cover-ups since Watergate.  A cover-up that involves murder, arms trafficking, and lies by high ranking officials under oath.

                “It involves the murderous attacks in Benghazi, and congressional investigators just released a 46-page interim progress report that at least exposes Hillary Rodham Clinton and the White House lying under oath.  Where’s the accountability?  Where’s the outrage?  Where’s the media?

                “A 46-page interim progress report of an ongoing investigation across five House Committees by the U.S. House of Representatives was released on Tuesday, April 23, 2013.  The executive summary states that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton signed off on a reduction on of diplomatic security forces suggesting that this reduction of security was, in large part, to blame for the attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.  The report emphasizes that this is `inconsistent’ with her sworn testimony of January 23, 2013.  Simply stated, Hillary Rodham Clinton lied under oath to congressional investigators.”

                “Additionally, the interim report states that official press talking points issued by the U.S. intelligence community were altered by the White House and Senior State Department officials on Saturday, September 15, 2012, for the sole purpose of protecting the State Department.  It was emphasized that these alterations were not for protecting any classified information whatsoever.”

                Hagman believes that the facility in Benghazi was there to serve “as a logistics center for arms and weapons transfers from Libya” but “ultimately destined for the anti-Assad terrorists in Syria.  It was used by the `State Department’s CIA,’ which is quite different than the actual CIA known by Americans….  It is from this covert intelligence operation directed by the highest levels of our government where we will find the truth about Benghazi and expose the lies about Libya and the globalist plans that have ignited the fuse for World War III.”

                According to Hagmann, the congressional interim report “does not address the biggest lies of all.” “The U.S., by direct orders of Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, are working closely with the Saudis to destroy and remake nations for a larger plan drafted by larger global interests, including a `takeover of America.’”

                Hagmann insists that “the lies continue” and that the attack in Benghazi is connected with the bombing of the Boston Marathon.  His entire article is well worth the time to read it.

                Please do not let the deaths of Americans in Benghazi be swept away as inconsequential.  Richard Nixon was forced to resign the office of President of the United States for Watergate – and no one was killed in the Watergate operation. The mainstream media forced his resignation, but they are covering up the Benghazi situation.  We must stay alert and really listen to the words that are spoken by the administration.  We must read between the lines.  We must insist on the truth.  We must support the whistleblowers!

Benghazi Cover-Up

                The terrorist attack in Benghazi continues to be covered up by the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense in an apparent effort to hide facts from American citizens.  We can be certain that the cover-up began as soon as the attack took place because FBI agents were not allowed into the compound in Libya for nearly a month after the attack – plenty of time for important evidence to be “lost” or tainted.

                The Benghazi debacle took place on September 11, 2012, and killed four Americans:  Ambassador Christopher Stevens, former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, and Sean Smith, a computer expert with the State Department.  Hilary Clinton was the first government official to claim that the attack was the result of a YouTube video criticizing Islam.  Her claims were echoed by Barack Obama, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, and White House Secretary James Carney until evidence otherwise started leaking out.  Other government workers leaked the information that members of the Obama-Clinton regime watched the attack over live feeds and declined requests for help.  Obama and Clinton knew within two hours that it was a genuine terrorist attack by the Islamist militia group Ansar al-Sharia.

                Marinka Peschmann believes that this cover-up is following the same pattern as the cover-up of the death of Vince Foster during the Clinton Administration.  Hilary Clinton is scheduled to testify before Congress – again.  She has been scheduled previously but always came up with some reason why she could not be there.

                “What you witnessed from the Obama-Clinton regime is called `cohesive strategy.’  We have seen that cover-up tactic before.  It was successfully used by the Clinton White House during the investigations of the Clinton era as documented in The Whistleblower:  How the Clinton White House Stayed in Power to Reemerge in the Obama White House and on the World Stage.  Additionally, it notably appears in my latest book, Following Orders:  The Death of Vince Foster, Clinton White House Lawyer.  Cohesive strategy is a smoke and mirrors public relations trick where the White House tells Americans and investigators what they want them to know as opposed to what really happened, and how their scripted version becomes the so-called truth, the `talking points,’ the narrative picked up by the media….

                “And now Hillary Clinton and the Obama White House are following the same cover-up playbook in Benghazi.

                “As any seasoned investigator or investigative journalist will confirm, evidence gathering at the time of the incident is critical to finding out the truth.  Anything less can lead investigators to an incorrect rationalized, and skewed conclusion that covers-up the truth.

                “The fact that it took the Obama-Clinton regime nearly a month before the FBI was permitted to gather evidence in Benghazi is the proof.  According to the Associated Press, FBI `agents arrived in Benghazi before dawn … and departed after sunset, after weeks of waiting for access to the crime scene to investigate the Sept. 11 attacks (emphasis mine).”

                “Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know that means the crime scene was already contaminated and compromised – all the evidence that was gathered (whatever remained) is suspect.  If the Obama-Clinton regime were serious about finding out the truth, the U.S. military with FBI agents would have been at the Benghazi CIA outpost immediately after the attack.  Anything short of that tells us the administration does [not] want Americans to know what happened that deadly day.  Remember Ambassador Christopher Stevens was following their orders….

                “The only question that remains today is whether or not Hilary Clinton gets away with another cover-up, like she did in the Vince Foster case, and runs for President in 2016, or will she finally be held accountable, and Americans learn the truth about the Benghazi terrorist attack?”

                Like Ms. Peschmann, I too believe that a cover-up is taking place; I too believe that the mainstream media is failing in their job to find the truth and Americans are being kept in the dark.  I am grateful for people like Ms. Peschmann who can and will make the connection.  I encourage you to read her complete article.
