Obama Attorney General Eric Holder indicated he was willing to “make a deal” to avoid further legal investigation into the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal that saw thousands of weapons placed into the hands of known criminals by the Obama administration. Those weapons were then used in crimes that slaughtered hundreds of innocents on both sides of the American-Mexican border.

EXCERPT (via ABC News)
Justice Dept, House Seek to Resolve ‘Fast and Furious’ Suit
The Justice Department said Tuesday that they will try to settle a lawsuit seeking to enforce a subpoena sought by the House Oversight and Government Reform committee to obtain documents related to the ATF’s botched gun trafficking case Operation Fast and Furious.
…The House then sued Attorney General Eric Holder earlier this year after President Obama invoked executive privilege shielding Holder from turning over the documents. The Committee’s subpoena was seeking internal DOJ documents following the drafting of a February 4, 2011 letter sent to Congress that contained inaccurate information about ATF’s operations. The letter was withdrawn by the Justice Department in December 2011.
A DOJ Inspector General report earlier this year cleared Holder of knowing about the ATF’s reckless tactics. The Inspector General’s review recommended 14 Justice Department and ATF officials for disciplinary and administrative review. LINK

I sent the above link to our Republican Insider and received this prompt response back:
This ABC story is kind of misleading. While DOJ wants to cut a deal badly, House Republicans are (not) so willing to do that. The part about the letter that was retracted is the real sticking point in this thing. Been told when that took place, the cover up was exposed. Then when Executive Privilege was enacted, we knew that the White House was shielding Holder from the ongoing Inspector General investigation and likely protecting the White House as well. There’s the catch right? Why would there need to be Executive Privilege for the president if the Inspector General report says that Eric Holder didn’t even know about Fast and Furious? If the president knew and Executive Privilege applies, then Eric Holder had to have known as well, right? And if you recall, the Inspector General report said its own assessment was based upon information it received from the Department of Justice. The IG asked for other docs but they were not given over due to the Executive Privilege order.
You had some readers crying about no new news about Fast and Furious a while back. I remember reading some of that. They don’t understand that once the Congressional investigation became an actual legal case, two things happen. The process slows way down and information cannot be made public so easily. So things have been moving but very deliberately. The White House knew that would happen. It pushed everything past the election. Now that we are getting close to the January hearing date, it is no surprise that Holder is letting Republicans know he is more than willing to cut some kind of deal. That means he has some secondary DOJ people lined up to take the fall. It also means he’s guilty.
Now I have to leave you with some disappointment. The Executive Privilege is what is likely keeping the docs that would implicate Holder from the Congressional investigation. There would have to be one heck of a court battle to bypass that order. I don’t think this group of Republican leaders are willing to take that on. Personally I wish they were, but I haven’t heard anything to indicate they would do that. Hope I’m wrong, but like I’ve said before, I just don’t have faith in these Republicans wanting to come out that hard against all of this.
Benghazi is another matter though. We have some of our own chomping at the bit on that one still.
And since I got you here, did you notice Boehner come out today and say he’s willing to talk new revenues/taxes as long as entitlement reform is on the table as well? Just like I told you on Monday. He’s putting the compromise out there slowly to prepare Republicans. What’s interesting is that the back and forth between him and Reid on this has hardly included any White House input. I don’t understand the nature of that relationship between Reid and Obama. The senator has defended the president publicly and been a very strong advocate for him, but so much of what I hear on what the Senator thinks of Obama in private is indifference. Weird.
One last thing. Did -deleted- get a hold of you? They sent me a message saying they want us all to do a sit down at the same time. Said I ”had it all wrong.” ???? Sounded agitated. Whatever. I’m open to the sit down if you think it’s something worthwhile. Would have to wait for a week maybe two though. Let me know.

I think we’re going to find that Benghazi is another Fast & Furious. If the world finds out that Obama has been supplying guns and supplies to terrorists, it isn’t going to go very well for him.
In a sane world, at the very least he’d be impeached. The problem is threefold: 1) The MSM will cover for Obama at every turn. 2) A plurality, if not a majority of the Republicans in Congress won’t push for justice 3) Obama Zombies comprise half the country now. They won’t believe Obama is a bad guy even if he drowned a sack of puppies on live TV.
Sorry for the pessimism, Anna. I don’t have much faith anymore in justice.
Obama could kill a puppy on live tv, cook it and eat it and all the Obama zombies would break into a chorus of how Romney put his dog on the roof of his car. They are a hopeless lot.
Ah, but you don’t understand. The puppy was taking food and shelter from some other poor puppy. He was doing the world a favor. What a guy!
I hope people are thinking about canceling as much of the MSM as is possible. Just DUMP them.
Anna, agree. Fast and Furious II…. Same game, different day,,,,it’s all KABUKI with these Marxists.
..Tand J…agree….stop the confirmation of the vote…Be ready for what follows….It is better than 20 or 100 years of darkness!!….Obama’s arrogance is on display and Boehner’s willingness to bend over rather than standing tough….Speak now or forever hold your peace.
Who will bring the truth of Benghazi out with passion? Who has the guts? Where is our leadership? Name a leader who leads? Allan West…any Military not afraid or who hasn’t sold out? Military, your time is NOW…Pannetta is releasing the patriots from the ranks to manage the Sheeple Military…Petraeus is a traitor to the constitution and got to where he sat because he would comply…he is a coward….Meagan Kelly has more balls…
Those in Congress are well aware Rice is simply fodder…ask Obama these questions. Where are the soon to be retiring senators? At least take a last shot….have we ever seen such weak kneed Republicans…Stop being political hacks and dammit stand up like real men….Sending the likes of Lindsey Graham out is a joke….a. Sad, pathetic, soft mushy little joke…
IT IS NOW …..OR IT IS NEVER
ASK:
IF Obama gave the order to save the Ambassador, military attache and the Seals, there Is a written order…SHOW IT..PROVE IT….
EXACTLY WHERE was Obama at the time of the attack???..over those 7 hours…
Why was Obama running missiles and armaments through Turkey, using them as a conduit and into Syria to AlQaeda ???
Why was the Turkish counsel there in Benghazi??? At a CIA safe house?
30,000 Missing missiles and Manpads launchers,,,WHY??? Is this Fast and Furious II Missile Running??? Why was the known Arms Dealer’s ship at Benghazi’s port??? This is traitorous SEDITION if the president is arms running…And if as thought to an enemy, Al Qaeda, of the USA?? Do we have a traitor in the WH…
Ambassador Stevens was raped as reported, was this because the USA stood by and let our supported rebel forces rape Kaddaffi…PAYBACK by Russia…
Is this a proxy war with Russia?…It would seem so… as Russia is angered with our turn over of their allies Libya and now in process Syria, to the Muslim Brotherhood…Why would this president want to start WWIII?
Was Russia sending us a message on Election Day with RUSSIAN NUCLEAR SUBMARINES off our East Coast.???
Who told those Seals to light themselves up with Laser…they would Only have done that if told the Drone above would give them cover and use that light up to draw out and kill the enemy…the Seals did not draw fire to out their position and to get themselves slaughtered? Who gave the order to lie to the Seals toure the laser to get them murdered?
What is Lochkeed’s part in the direct commerce of Missile running?
Why is the USA, against our NATO treaty, handing over Stinger Missiles to Al Qaeda, an entity of the Muslim Brotherhood?
You are wrong. Benghazi is not “another” fastnfurious, it is the same thing, the continuation of the same thing.
On this site we had the link of an article about a high ranking drugpin in trial in Chicago, saying that Fast n Furious was the result of an agreement with his specific cartel to provide them with (legal) cover, landered money and guns, in exchange for “control” of the drugs.
Another piece of the information, is that after years of denying any presence of Al-Qaeda in Mexico, a cell was demantled in Merida, Yucatan few months back.
There is a direct connection between the Drug Cartels of South America and Mexico specially and Al-Qaeda and al.
Such connections were (i’d bet on it) used to establish contact with the “rebels” in Libya and to transfer funds
This is what the executive order was about covering.
This is the “IT”.
When will the Chicago Sun Times get their copies of the Blagojevich tapes and transcripts?
http://illinoispaytoplay.com/2012/11/28/when-will-the-chicago-sun-times-get-their-copies-of-the-blagojevich-tapes-and-transcripts/
Good stuff. Thanks for the update, UM.
No surprise Boehner will cave.
Good to hear Benghazi is proceeding, though.
Thanks but most if not all of us here know where this would/will go – like everything else — Kabuki, then no justice done. But note this about what we can do re election results fraud in all caps. However, the problem with re count is they don’t include corrupt machine fraud? If not – it will end like Allen West’s.
Then if all else fails…well, you know. Sadly, couldn’t have said it much better:
“It’s Official: Obama Voter Fraud Reason for “Reelection”/growing Totalitarian Gove
The truth about the Obama syndicate’s “victory” in November due to the most massive voter fraud in American history has become increasingly dire and overwhelming. It is also merely the latest treasonous act perpetrated upon We-the-People by our slave masters.

“By now, we all know our last course of action. It is the same one into which our Founders were forced. May we pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that we are successful in our endeavors for God, family and country. In the end—as always—it is God who will bring us through the darkness and, once again, into the light.
“God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”—1787 Jefferson letter to William Smith”
@ truthandjustice
Thank you for the Link!!
I took the liberty of copying the whole article. I Underlined important Points & I FAXed it to Congressman Darrell Issa.
I have recently Faxed several Congressman who are investigating the “Benghazi Massacre” the truth about Benghazi.
I hope more people will “Fax” Senators & Congressmen.
We can not allow “Fast & Furious” & “Benghazi Massacre” to be swept under the Rug…… I have been E-mailing Congressman; but, that produced no results….. We must FAX them….. They have to save all FAX that they receive!!
Nobody but flunkies will suffer because of this corrupt Administration and the cowards in Congress. They want to take F&F off the floor so they can fully concentrate on covering up Benghazi.
The insider feeding info to the Canada Free Press is interesting but nobody cares, the media has a lockdown on EVERYTHING…yes, I’m negative today but I think it’s called “seeing the writing on the wall”. No offense to RI but, good luck buddy, trying to get everyone else’s fingers out of the pie to actually accomplish something for the American people.
So much has happened that they could have gone after in the last four years. They did nothing. They waited until 4 Americans died and still only a few in Washington are questioning this. Lies continue, money thrown away, fraud voting, no approval from Congress when they went into Libya and still they let it go. We are on the hook for massive debt and no matter what they say about taxes, you will pay in another way. This would not have happened years ago. You are now on a seesaw and its not balancing. So Holder wants a deal. No deal, guns walked. Nothing will get better until they are gone from office. We have people who are not looking out for us. This is not a game, its real life.
Demand Congress refuse to certify the Vote….
What I don’t understand is what all has to be done to impound the machines and also can you prove the corrupt software thing and how many votes were flipped? Think you have to have a judge allow you to impound?? Allen West requested it but was denied. ???? That’s where most of the fraud was I would think…..so if you can’t do that, then just a “recount” would probably end up just like Allen’s did and ruled loss.
And how many have even been requested in those swing states? If not, why not?
And….why did RI just quickly dismiss it with not much thought b/c you couldn’t “prove it”. So many questions that need to be asked…and answered….so little time.

ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW OBAMA & THE DEMS. TO GET AWAY WITH THIS???
FOX News set up this site to report Voter Fraud & I have not seen any concrete action taken…WHY???
We “The Ulsterman Army” must keep up our Fight by sending important information to Congress

I really appreciate the ulsterman articles. But because of the ending of this story “did -deleted- get ahold of you” section – comes across as cointelpro.
I still stand with my original feeling that this is psyops.
Thanks for everything though, most stories are a great read. In the mean time, hold onto hope and prepare with faith and the three G’s.
“Hope I’m wrong, but like I’ve said before, I just don’t have faith in these Republicans wanting to come out that hard against all of this.”
Welcome to OUR world, RI.
Question is: what are you and others like you — assuming they exist — doing to counter such cowardice going forward and into the future (of which, many of us believe, little time exists … meaning drastic measures may need to be taken)?
Simply CANNOT WAIT for a sit-down comprised of UM, RI, and the WHI!!! Should be informational fireworks! Bring it on, UM …
I second the idea of WHI sitting down w/RI and letting UM share that conversation with us. I want to know what they really think about possible voter fraud and if Obama will keep going hard left or try to moderate. Also there is another challenge to Obamacare, and of course Benghazi. Will, just a whole bunch of things. It would be nice to hear from WHI again that is for sure. I miss his way of putting things. Always entertaining and many times so accurate in predicting what is coming at us.
Kat,…..
where to begin….
For you and all the others, there is an ABSOLUTE MUST to listen.
Rush was absolutlely brillant today. Inspired. The first hour and 1/2 half. Explained it all and lay it all for us.
Not for the fainted of heart. But for those like me who have already seen the movie, absolutly on target.
And I concur with him that the only way out, the only way to reverse the trend is to make the case for conservatism.
In my country of origin, it was never properly articulated as in most countries already taken by liberalism/socialism/communism. The opposition was ala Bohner and co and the result is and was very predictable: Societal collapse in all aspects.
this is hour 1:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/account/login?return=/videos?uri=channels/441627/1705505
Oh and I want to give a good job to the Republican Insider. They laid out what we would see from Boehner a couple days ago and looks like Boehner is doing pretty much exactly what he said they would. Nice to get some confirmation RI really is at least somewhat in the loop. Anyone else can’t stand listening to John Boehner talk though. Yuck. Cantor is so much more strong and intelligent sounding. He spoke after Boehner and I noticed Boehner walked out while Cantor was talking so it does look like there is some friction there like RI said.
I am so sick and tired of Republicans being spineless. Do any of you REALLY care anymore? We The People are no longer in control. Voter fraud has taken that away. Our nation is toast. The Republican party could not be any more divided. I am a State Committee Women for my states county, last night was our Convention. It became obvious to me, that without Statesmen in office, we are no longer relevant. If RI would stand up and make his voice heard, many others might follow, but that only happens in fairytales. I’m sorry if I sound pessimistic, but I do believe we were severely disenfranchised and noone seems to give a shit!
Maybe we should mail the Republicans some energy drinks over there in Congress. That should tell them something. WAKE-UP, DON’T GIVE UP!!!!
Is a Good, Old-Fashioned Purge in Order for the GOP?
On November 19, Pravda’s Xavier Lerma wrote an article asserting that President (I use the term loosely) Barack Obama had been re-elected “by an illiterate society.” Some conservatives have been wont to dismiss and ridicule some of the dead-on assessments of the former Soviet newspaper since it was once in fact a Soviet newspaper.
Some of this dismissal and ridicule did occur relative to Lerma’s piece; I think however, that such observations made by those who have been there and done that ought to be considered, if not heeded.
Lerma writes “He [Obama] is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so… His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia. Obama’s fools and Stalin’s fools share the same drink of illusion.”
Sounds pretty dead-on if you ask me…
Now, obviously we know that the problem does not lie simply with Obama. I and a few others have widely stated that he was chosen to exponentially advance the Marxist (oligarchical collectivist) agenda in America because he is black, and this was a good call inasmuch as it has worked. Many of his political opponents were and remain too afraid to challenge him for fear of being accused of racism.
As we also know, reasoning that Americans were too fat and happy to incite a communist revolution among them, the intent of dedicated communists in the early 20th century was to co-opt the American educational system, the press, and as much of the government as would be sufficient to bring about their designs via more subtle means.
This they are quite close to achieving, although it does bear mentioning that history and the status quo of Americans having been too fat and happy to incite a communist revolution among them is indicative of two things:
Capitalism is superior to communism, and
Communists are manifestly evil, predatory power-mongers.
Carrying this out a little farther, we also come to realize that the problem does not lie simply with the political left in America. For years, the Republican leadership has been accused by conservatives and libertarians of being weak, stupid, or both relative to their handling of leftists. It has been known for some time that many so-called moderate Republicans are really no more than big-government, soft socialists, but given the developments of the last couple of months, it appears that the situation is far worse than that.
Among other things, it has become painfully evident that prominent Republican leaders have also elected to adopt the same attitude toward constitutionally-minded, patriotic Americans and evangelical Christians as have leaders on the left. This would include, but is not limited to those in the Tea Party Movement. Considering the massive voting bloc that is represented here, it is also evident that their actions are of a political or ideological nature, rather than the pretext of not wishing to be associated with “fringe” factions. It is plain to all save for the hopelessly brainwashed and MSNBC anchors that the Tea Party is not of a “fringe” deportment; indeed, a good deal of this propaganda has been promoted and validated by Republican politicians themselves.
In addition to this, as cited by many ethnic minorities and Democrat pundits, Republican leaders have performed abysmally in their outreach to minorities. This now raises the question as to whether they have ever been interested in the support of blacks, Latinos, and other ethnic groups. My supposition at this juncture is that they are not.
Perhaps all this hasn’t been a matter of not knowing how to compete with Democrat entitlements (“gifts,” as former GOP candidate Mitt Romney intoned), but a calculated effort to aid the machinations of their supposed political opponents.
Over the past two weeks, congressional lawmakers have been posturing over the “fiscal cliff” upon which America is allegedly teetering, and the resulting debate on taxes: Obama wants to raise taxes; the Republicans in Congress ostensibly want to cut spending; the Democrats offer some spending cuts in trade for raising taxes, and so on… Considering the intellectual indolence of the American public thus far, I suppose there’s no reason for Congress and the Obama administration to believe we’d call them out for this blatant display of smoke and mirrors.
With the knowledge that increasing income taxes to 100% on all earners in the US, and confiscating every dollar we currently possess wouldn’t make a ding in the national debt or the deficit, let alone a dent, it becomes obvious that all of the maneuvering by Republican lawmakers is mere pretense. Why not simply detail the detrimental effects that raising taxes will have on the economy?
Perhaps because they don’t want advertise these facts to the American public any more than Obama does…
While it might be a no-brainer to you and me, the average non-partisan American voter will not be aware that this is the worst possible time for Republicans to be conciliatory with regard to this administration on any issue. Thus, they will perceive Republicans as obstructionist if they do not compromise with evil. Any Republican lawmaker possessed of the knowledge of Obama’s intent ought to be fighting him at every possible turn as a matter of course, publicity be damned.
I would also submit that there aren’t any GOP lawmakers who are sufficiently stupid or uninformed not to know that Obama is taking us down the road to communism. If they presume not to know this, they are engaging in deception.

My note — Note last paragraph. My question to RI – to ALL Repubs.- do you know and if not why not?
I do not see how anyone cannot see this now. And if so, it’s logical that you know we DON’T have time to try to get the Consvs. to “take over” eventually. With all due respect…. NONSENSE !!
#1 – they HATE Consvs and will not allow it via fraud, etc.
#2 – except for the VERY few patriots (newbies – TP mostly), the leadership are ANTI-Constitution. Face it. Many are complicit w/Obama. THIS is why we push impeachment/election recount NOW….both of which are dismissed as not possible and not provable. So????????? Next??????

November 28, 2012 12:57 pm
President Barack Obama left open Wednesday the possibility of more tax increases for the wealthy in 2013, beyond his proposal to increase tax rates on income over $250,000.
The president was promoting at the White House event a deal in the short-term to extend the Bush tax rates on income below $250,000 — an effective tax hike for high earners, with those rates returning to Clinton-era levels.
Obama then left open more tax increases for the wealthy in a 2013 comprehensive reform bill.
“(A deal now) would give us more time next year to work together on a comprehensive plan to bring down our deficits, to streamline our tax system, to do it in a balanced way–including asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more,” Obama said.
“You know you’re in trouble as a nation when the Communist Party USA is openly celebrating the re-election of the president.
And that is exactly what is happening in late November 2012.
The Stalinists are calling Barack Obama’s win a “victory for the people.” As a former communist (note small c), I can translate that for you. It means a “victory for communism – or, more precisely, a victory for the party.”
Just listen to some of the hyperbolic and ecstatic rhetoric: “We meet on the heels of an enormous people’s victory. It was a long and bitterly contested battle in which the forces of inclusive democracy came out on top. The better angels of the American people spread their wings.
“An African-American president was re-elected to the presidency, the Democrats unexpectedly strengthened their hand in the Senate and House, new progressive voices, like Elizabeth Warren, are coming to Washington, and victories, including for marriage equality, occurred at the state level.
“On the other end of the political divide, Romney lost decisively, and right-wing extremism, while not a completely spent force (and it probably never will be), was greatly weakened. Its candidates and, even more, its ideas were repudiated by tens of millions.
“Moreover, the balance of power, that is, the ground on which people will fight shifted in a progressive direction, thanks in large measure to what might be the most notable development in this election – the further emergence (compared to 2008) of a multi-racial, male-female, working class-based electorate – an electorate that has the potential to renew and realign politics for decades to come.
“Finally, millions come out of this election with a far deeper political understanding – and on a range of issues: corporate plunder and profiteering, racial and gender inequality, sexual orientation and gay marriage, immigrant, reproductive and labor rights, the corrupting role of money in politics, global warming, and militarism and military adventures.
“All this bodes well for the future.”
The party apparatchiks go even further: “The Communist Party said a year ago that the 2012 elections would be the main front of the class and democratic struggle, and subsequent events have confirmed that fact.
“Indeed, we argued (and not everyone on the left agreed and probably still don’t) that defeating right-wing extremism was the key to moving the whole chain of democratic struggle forward.
“Conversely, we said that if right-wing extremists came out victors in the elections, they would accelerate to warp speed a capitalist class counterrevolution against people’s living standards, rights and organizational capacities the likes that we haven’t ever seen.
“But that won’t happen due to the fact that the voters – a rainbow coalition of largely working people – in their majority re-elected the president.”
In other words, the Communist Party is gleeful about the election results.
None of this should surprise anyone, of course. The Communist Party USA openly supported Obama’s election bid in 2008 and again in 2012. When the party chooses not to run its own candidate for president, it signals the party’s happiness with someone already on the ballot. And the party made no secret of its strong preference for Obama in editorial after editorial.
Yet, usually, weeks after an election, you can expect the party to start agitating against “the establishment” again. It’s in the party’s nature. It’s in its DNA. It’s almost a vital necessity for fundraising.
Not this year.
For all intents and purposes, the Democratic Party and the Communist Party USA are one. They share the same goals, the same aspirations, the same dreams of a worker’s paradise, the same illusions of utopia.
Never mind that unemployment is high.
Never mind that working people can’t afford gas.
Never mind that, by every standard of measurement, poverty and misery is up.
The Communists are happy with the status quo in America.
Wow!
Think about that.
America is in a bad way.

Benghazi: Behind the scenes (Part II)
- Doug Hagmann (Bio and Archives) Thursday, November 29, 2012
Author’s note: This is part two of a multi-part interview with a government insider intimately familiar with the events that took place in Benghazi. It is important to note that the information contained in this series was developed from interviews that spanned over 100 hours. In this part, the insider provides information about the events of the attack and the continuation of the cover-up at the highest levels of our government. (For Part I, please click here).
We’ve heard different accounts and different timelines concerning the attack at Benghazi. What exactly happened?
First, people must understand that the compound that was attacked was situated in a somewhat rural area and was not a consulate, but a rented villa, or a residential structure. The residence was the primary building, and what has been referred to as the annex was located about 1800 feet away as the crow flies, but just over a mile to travel by road. And again, visible security was not present as the compound was the headquarters for a covert operation. No one wanted to draw attention to what was taking place at this location.
The first indications of problems there began at least twelve-(12) hours before the first shot was even fired. One of the men at the compound observed a policeman or Libyan security officer taking photographs outside of the villa. Keep in mind that Ambassador Stevens, the point man in this Obama-sanctioned weapons running operation, was hastily scheduled to meet with the Turkish consul general at this location. The meeting was deliberately planned for dinner time, toward evening, when the events that happened next could be performed under the cover of darkness.
It’s also important to consider the location of this meeting. Tripoli is the seat of power in Libya, and a genuine diplomatic meeting could more safely have been conducted there, at the embassy. Also, what most people don’t know is that Libya is split, much like East and West Germany before the wall. The eastern part is more closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, the same group that controls Egypt. The Turkish consul general had to meet there, not just with Stevens but with other factions involved in this covert operation.
Now I’ll digress for a moment. It is reasonable to ask whether the Turkish consul general was setting Stevens up for a hit, like a classic mob-style hit. First, there is no dispute that there was surveillance done at 6:30 a.m. and intermittently throughout the day. Next, consider that three hours before the first shot was fired, about 6:30 p.m. local time, some strange things were observed taking place near the compound. Military type vehiclesbegan closing of the streets with trucks that had 50 caliber guns mounted on them. Checkpoints on the streets and at intersections were being quietly closed off around the compound. Nearby residents began going inside their homes. Anyone walking in the area got off the streets, like a scene from a movie in the Godfather series. It was obvious that the stage was being set for a strike against the compound. This alone reveals preplanning and coordination.
It’s also noteworthy to point out that the Turkish counsel general most likely passed through one or more of these checkpoints, or at least would have noticed that things were not right in the area. You must remember that just as Stevens was previously CIA working under diplomatic cover, the Turkish counsel general was his counterpart. It’s typical spy versus spy stuff.
Also consider this. One of the men stationed at the compound, a British national, left the compound at about 9:20 p.m., reportedly to get more phone cards. That’s right, phone cards, like you would buy at Walmart. Why? Because the men at the compound ran out of minutes. Just who do you think they were talking to that day to burn through the minutes, and why do you think they needed them at that exact time?
They were using the phones as a last and perhaps only line of communications to provide assessments of the strange things going on earlier. They knew that something was being planned and they were conveying that information – their observations to those who could assist them, in Tripoli and DC.
Based on these activities, it is clear that the men at the compound suspected that they were in trouble long before the first shot was ever fired. They were calling anyone who would listen, or who should have listened. We knew trouble was brewing and no one responded in any meaningful way.
Could the man who left to buy more phone cards have known what was about to take place?
Well, it’s possible, but there is no indication of that.
Was the Turkish counsel general in on this, to set Stevens up?
Well, what have we heard from our government? Has anyone even bothered to interviewhim? What did he say? Don’t forget, this administration decided to handle this attack as a crime and not a terrorist attack. How long did it take for the FBI to be able to access the ‘crime scene’ after the attack? More importantly, what was left at the ‘crime scene’ to examine by the FBI due to this delay? Do you think the delay was accidental?
Do you know what was discussed, or the reason for the meeting between Stevens and the Turkish consul general?
Yes, I know some key points. First, keep in mind what this arms running operation was all about. It was to topple Assad and replace him with a Muslim Brotherhood leader. It was to destabilize Syria to advance the agenda of Saudi Arabia. They were using U.S. and NATO forces to do exactly that.
However, Assad is no Gaddafi, and there is no comparison between Assad’s army and the Libyan army. It would take much more than rebels inside Syria to topple Assad. There is no way on earth that the Syrian rebels, or Free Syrian Army, has the capability to accomplish this objective alone. It required U.S. assistance, arms and training.
Now, Turkey is a NATO ally. They were assisting the Obama-Clinton-Saudi plan to funnel weapons ultimately to Syria, but the primary staging areas for these weapons were in Turkey near the Syrian border. Visual surveillance by Russia, using satellites and other means amassed photographic documentation of the U.S. assisting the ‘anti-Assad rebels’ inside Turkey. They developed evidence of the U.S. training these rebels and assisting them into Syria to fight against Assad.
Think about this. What if surveillance images observed anti-Assad rebels being trained to handle and mount chemical weapons – gas shells – onto rockets? The process would be apparent and would obviously be detected by a number of visual indicators. Obviously, Syria wanted this to stop. By extension, so did Russia.
One aspect of the weapons plan was to set up a false flag operation to make it appear that Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. Imagine the outcry from the civilized world to the news that Assad ‘gassed’ his own people. That would be an invitation to NATO and the West to openly intervene. Don’t forget about the timing of all of this. Two months before the elections, and time was running out. The job of taking out Assad was not yet complete. Such an event would quickly advance this agenda. By this time, however, being caught and placed in a rather unenviable position between Russia and the U.S., the Turkish consul general was in a ‘CYA, clean-up’ mode, assuring that none of the chemical weapons that might have still been in Libya were headed for Turkey.
It is also important to understand that the covert weapons running operation was just about finished. An estimated 40 million pounds of weapons were already shipped from Libya, and things were winding down.
There was another issue as well, a very important and telling one. Seven members of the Iranian Red Crescent had been kidnapped or snatched from the streets of Benghazi on or about July 31, 2012. Again you must understand that virtually anyone walking on the streets of Benghazi not indigenous to the area are spies. Covert operatives, operating under various covers. From all nations.
Along with the message that the weapons running operation was compromised, the Iranians had good reason to suspect that the ‘Red Crescent workers’ were snatched by the CIA or with their assistance. Iran wanted them back. They were spies, and countries want their spies back! So part of the meeting was to address this, as there was pressure by Russia against a wavering Turkey to switch sides. Anyway, you’ll see how this ties in to the way the actual attack was executed.
Please continue.
So at 9:30 pm local time, the compound began to take on small arms fire. Based on all reports I’ve reviewed, there were three twelve-man attack teams armed with small arms, RPGs, and other sophisticated military style weapons. These were not run-of-the-mill street weapons, but military issued type weapons. The types of weapons alone scream that this was a preplanned attack.
Eyes on the area [author’s note: satellites, surveillance drones] confirmed that two of these teams surrounded the villa and the annex. The third team was elsewhere, lying in wait. The two teams began their assault on the compound where Stevens was inside about an hour after the Turkish counsel general left. Remember, he had to pass the checkpoints after the meeting. Just keep that in mind.
Anyway, we all know now that there was an intense firefight that lasted nearly nine hours during which four Americans, Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Dougherty and Tyrone Woods were killed. And of course that attack was not over a video and there were no protests before the attack.
Now there are questions that are not being asked. The two well-armed ‘hit teams’ had the capability to reduce the compound and annex to rubble quickly. Why a protracted firefight? There are a couple of reasons.
First, what was the makeup of the ‘hit teams,’ or who were the attackers? We have verified that the attackers were a combination of members of Ansar al Sharia and Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), but they were operating under the flag of Ansar al Sharia. Who is Ansar al Sharia? Iranian terrorists. They are a terrorist group that receives their training by and funding from Iran. Now think about this. Carefully consider the implications here. IRAN. It’s the elephant in the room no one wants to mention or talk about.
The attack on our ambassador and our people – Americans – was an attack by Iran. It was an attack at a nation-state level.
AQIM also assisted. They are indigenous to Africa and are extremely dangerous. AQIM is a very ‘elite’ and extremely well-funded group, and very limited in number. Our last assessment suggests that there are only 400 or so members, but they are very influential across Africa and into South and Central America and Western Europe. Their importance and relevance will become evident shortly.
The reason that they did not just take out the compound and everything and everyone in it is that they were looking for their spies. Remember the Red Crescent workers? The Iranian spies? They suspected that they might be held at the annex. As such, they wanted to free them and did not want to risk killing them.
Oh, and there were others ‘missing’ as well. AQIM members. These were terrorists involved in drug running operations from the Tri-border (TBA) areas of South America through North Africa and into Western Europe. By the way, this is the way they made their money. Drugs sell at higher profits in Western Europe than elsewhere, so there is money to be made. The problem is that some of them got caught—snatched up in Benghazi and northeastern Libya.
Now regarding AQIM, this has a direct connection not only to South America, but also to Mexico and Mexican drug gangs. You think that what’s going on in Libya is just ‘over there,’ and far away from the U.S. and has nothing to do with our safety and security? Think again, but more on this in a bit.
There’s also another reason. The hit teams fully expected rescue teams from the U.S. to be dispatched to the compound. Certainly, calls for help went out. By waiting for the back-up or rescue forces, a surprise assault by the other ‘hit team’ team would have exposed our forces to possible causalities and turned the event into a much bigger event where the actual nature of the operation could be exposed to the world. Instead of being a cover-up for which they have yet to be held accountable, it would have been an international incident that would have exposed the entire affair.
So the Ansar al Sharia attack groups deliberately conducted a protracted assault on the compound. Just imagine, our men and even the bad guys never expected team Obama would leave our people twisting in the wind, fighting for their lives. That alone should speak volumes to every American.
As daylight approached, they had to wrap things up so they could disappear under the cover of darkness. Oh, and the crowds that are often cited by this administration, did form in the area as the attack progressed, much like a growing mob in riot. They provided the fog, or the cover, that permitted the attackers to escape amid the crowd.
You mentioned the missing Iranian Red Crescent workers and members of AQIM. Were they ever released or found?
Yes, and this is an extremely important part of this entire story. This reaches into the highest levels of our government. This is so very important that it must be addressed separately.
So the attack was first and the crowd came later. I noted that the administration said that there were protests going on at the Embassy in Cairo at the same time and they compared it to Benghazi.
Yes, that’s their cover story and they know that there is absolutely no comparison. This is one huge lie that is easily addressed and put out of its misery.
How soon did U.S. intelligence officials know who was responsible for the attack?
Almost immediately, if not concurrent with the attack. Every part of that area is under active aerial surveillance by the U.S. There was SIGINT or communication intercepts at the time of the attack. Then, there was even an admission by the attackers. Obama knew. Hillary knew. Clapper knew. Everyone knew, expect the American people. And you know what? The American media knew as well.
I heard a statement that they did not admit knowledge to avoid alerting the perpetrators.
Yes, it was said that Rice and others did not want to alert the ‘bad guys’ or tip their hand or some such nonsense, but did that mean that Susan Rice, for example, had to appear on national television and lie to every one of us, to the country? In my opinion, Rice took on the temporary job of propaganda minister for a day in exchange for a shot at Secretary of State in the future.
You are painting quite a dire picture.
It gets worse, much worse, and it involves real threats across the globe and even to us here in the United States. But it’s all because of our actions, the covert weapons running from Libya to Syria by way of Turkey at the direction of Barack Obama and his Saudi ‘handlers.’
FORTY THOUSAND men, women and children are dead in Syria as a direct result of this attempt at nation building, or tearing down Assad. There are four dead Americans. We are arming some of the very people who are killing our troops. Not only are we on the wrong side of this, we are actively pushing the world to the precipice of World War III.
We are engaged in a real war here with Iran and Syria and by extension, with Russia and China. And we are being lied to about it every step of the way. And the lies are getting worse, but so are the attempts to stop the truth from getting out.
What do you mean?
What do you think the recent directive issued by Obama, the one you wrote about ‘insider threats,’ is all about? Obama does not want the American people to know the truth about what is going on. He’s doubled down to stop leaks, like this. But you know what? He just might be too late, because we’re not done here. I’m not done talking, and there’s much more that needs to be exposed.
