High Crimes And Misdemeanors
Benghazi Lies: High Crimes
and Misdemeanors?
and Misdemeanors?
Everything about Barack Obama, and the faction spawned by his political success, has been cut from a fabric of deceit.The account of his birth and early life, including the self-confessed work of fiction passed off as an autobiography, was a fabrication. He as a lawyer "voluntarily" withdrew from the Illinois bar. Often described as a "moderate" when he campaigned in 2008, his education and early forays into politics were steeped in radical, Communist extremism.
Even the claim that his political success somehow represents an historic breakthrough for black Americans is belied by the fact that he claims his black heritage from a father who was not American; and his American identity from an anti-American mother whose life choices made him more at home with Islam than with his father's African nationality, or his mother's biologically American heritage.
As a political movement, the Obama faction is thus focused on a figure whose political persona is a fabrication.
Since the U.S. Constitution vests the executive power of the U.S. government in the person of the President, when the President's oath is spurious, every element of the Executive Branch is tainted as well. Root and branch, the whole Obama Administration is the offspring of deceit.I have been thinking about this as I ponder the various reactions to the lies deployed by Obama; his Secretary of State Hilary Clinton; and his UN Ambassador Susan Rice, with respect to the murderous attack against the United States at Benghazi.
Why, I wonder, do so many people waste their time and energy indulging shocked, emotional reactions to the fact that Obama and his minions lied even when it tended to shield and excuse the despicable terrorists who assassinated an American Ambassador and several other American officials?
Obama lies when he asserts the so-called "right" to abortion, and America's posterity suffers death as a result. Obama lies when he asserts that his health care proposals don't involve "death panels", and Americans will prematurely suffer death as a result. Obama liesabout gun control legislation that aims to disarm the law-abiding inhabitants of the United States, and the American people's life in decent liberty may suffer death as a result.
Lies are the Obama faction's routinely deployed weapons of mass destruction. So where the fatal Benghazi debacle is concerned, we should waste little time wrestling with the fact that this is so. Instead, we should thoroughly examine the nature of their lies in order to ascertain and think through the ultimate purpose they served.
Were they deployed to hide something; and/or to distract attention from something else?
By pretending that the deliberately murderous Benghazi attack was the spontaneous outcome of disorganized mob passion, Obama faction officials avoided the need to fix responsibility for the act of war, effectively shielding from harm the hostile entity or entities that launched the attack.
They also effectively distracted Americans from the fact that war is being waged against them.
Almost since the first moment Obama occupied the Oval Office, the Obama faction has consistently sought to dispel the notion that a state of war exists between the United States and the governments and other entities responsible for a global infrastructure for terrorism, an infrastructure energized by a violent commitment to establishing Islamic global hegemony.
Obama faction officials, and especially Obama himself, have been at pains to promote the idea that terrorist acts against Americans arise instead from a passionate reaction against America's alleged history of global wrongdoing and unjust military and economic domination.This was the nature of the lie willfully fabricated about the source and nature of the Benghazi attack.
Is it just a coincidence that it corresponds with the party line, as it were, of the radical Communists Obama sought out as a student in his youth; and with whom he collaborated as a political activist up until it became strategically imperative to lie about his ideological identity?
If the lie is a weapon in their campaign to consolidate political power, what is the strategic import of the fact that it serves to hide and distract from terrorist threats that may be intended to destabilize and overthrow the government established by the Constitution of the United States (particularly in the context of the Benghazi episode's possible connection with the Obama faction's ongoing collaboration with anti-U.S. elements involved in Syria's civil war?)
Given his proven ideological background, Obama's infamously open ended slogan about change has always included the possibility that regime change is the main purpose of his faction's political program.
|
Cong. Darrell Issa inscrutably declares that neither Obama nor Clinton are targets of the search for truth about the Obama Administration's decision to leave an American Ambassador naked to our enemies.
This contributes to a "business as usual" atmosphere in which it is supposed to be unthinkable to consider the possibility the Ambassador's fate is a portent of that intended for the American people and our way of life.Meanwhile, is the Obama Administration preparing for massive "civil disorder" throughout the United States – just the kind of disorder that would be produced by a coordinated series of terrorist attacks against soft civilian targets in the U.S.?
If those attacks are perpetrated by people who, at first glance, have no connection with the global infrastructure of Islamic terrorism, they could be portrayed as a spontaneous reaction to the hardship entailed by a suddenly deteriorating economy. In that scenario Americans would have no one to blame but each other.
As the nation descends into a frenzy of mutual recrimination, anger and fear the forces of order, focused on Obama and his elitist faction cohorts (from both wings of the elitist faction's sham party system) could rush forward to do, under martial law, what Obama claims the Constitution is inadequate to do: impose a new regime for government consistent with the proven exigencies of the times.
That strategic purpose encompasses a result that more than qualifies as a high crime and misdemeanor, within the meaning of the provisions that justify impeaching those responsible, and removing them from office.
If an real opposition party were in fact controlling the U.S. House of Representatives, this would be their conscientious goal.

Blood On His Hands
BLOOD ON HIS HANDS
OBAMA DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE 4 DEAD IN BENGHAZI
FOR THE 4 DEAD IN BENGHAZI
State Department communications reveal that the Obama Administration knew for weeks that the Benghazi Embassy was the target of an upcoming terrorist attack. The terrorists even performed multiple "dry run" mini-attacks on the compound in a presumed attempt to assess security breaches.
Obama TRIED to blame Benghazi on a movie. Then he tried to blame the massacre on lack of security by the State Department and the CIA.
But Hillary Clinton and General David Petraeus are refusing to take the blame. Instead, they are throwing Barack Obama under the bus.
The CIA released an official statement last Friday that the Obama Administration's attempt to pin lack of security on the CIA was absolutely false.
It was Obama who refused to send in security.
State Department and CIA employees stationed in Benghazi, Libya begged Washington for increased security.
Now sources close to the Secretary of State, reportedly speaking on behalf of her legal counsel, are reporting that Hillary Clinton DID order increased security for the threatened Embassy.
But Barack Obama REFUSED to send in the Rapid Reaction Force that could have saved Ambassador Stephens and the three other Americans killed in the attack.
Communiqués indicate that an American drone was sending live feed images to the State Department within 30 minutes of the initial attack.
Help was only 45 minutes away.
But again, Barack Obama refused to save our men.
Instead, it is being reported that as State Department officials watched the 7 hour fire fight on live feed from satellites and drones, Barack Obama STILL refused to send help – and instead WENT TO BED.
Also on last Friday Bing West, a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, told Greta Van Susteren that if Obama gave the order to secure the consulate in Benghazi as he has claimed – there would be a paper trail:
"If that actually happened the way President Obama said it happened, there's a paper trail and I think people reasonably enough can say, "Can we see the order?" because hundreds of others supposedly saw this order.
So far no one has offered any evidence that Obama made the order to protect our men on the ground in Benghazi the night of the attack.
Of the four killed during that 7 hour battle, 2 of our people died in the final hour, as their ammunition was depleted and relief forces FAILED TO ARRIVE.
Tyrone Woods, a former Navy SEAL, was one of the last to perish. Sources on the ground indicate that Ty ran his weapon dry having killed 50 jihadists before he was taken down. The 30 people who escaped the Benghazi Consulate with their lives, did so only because of the bravery of former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty. But if this Administration had used the intel available and sent the help our men expected and deserved, those two heroes would almost certainly still be alive.
THEIR BLOOD IS ON OBAMA'S HANDS.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he has a report from a U.S. senator that at least two news networks have emails from the White House explicitly ordering a counterterrorism team NOT to secure and render relief, but to stand down on a rescue mission at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
"There is a rumor – I want to be clear, it's a rumor – that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser's office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down," Gingrich told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "They were a group in real-time trying to mobilize Marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House 'stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action.'"
Speaker Gingrich continued, "If that's true, and I've been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. Senator, if that's true and that comes out in the next day or two, I think it raises enormous questions about the president's role, Tom Donilon, the National Security Adviser's role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said don't go. And I think that's very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel."
Gingrich said "if accurate, it leaves two conclusions: that the secretary of defense usurped the Commander-in-Chief or that Obama in fact never gave the order he claims he did."
President Richard Nixon was driven from office and resigned in shame for far less dire derelictions of duty than the crimes of Barack Obama.
Obama calls the SEALS to duty and the SEALS report.
The SEALS call the Commander-in-Chief to duty and the Imposter-in-Chief votes present.
SEALS die, the first Ambassador since Jimmy Carter was president dies – and Obama lies to cover up, compounding his crime.
This is insanity. This is betrayal of the highest order. This is TREASON.
Obama Administration Breakdown In Benghazi
Sources, emails point to communication breakdown in Obama administration during Libya attack

Senior counterterrorism officials felt cut out of the loop the night of the attack on the Benghazi consulate, according to emails that were shared with Fox News by military sources who are familiar with discussions of how to respond the night of the Sept. 11 attack.
Top State Department officials decided not to send an interagency rapid response unit designed to respond to terrorist attacks known as a FEST team, a Foreign Emergency Support Team. This team from the State Department and CIA has a military Joint Special Operations Command element to it and has been routinely deployed to assist in investigations -- for instance, after the USS Cole bombing and the bombings at the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
That team, these counterterrorism officials argue, could have helped the FBI gain access to the site in Benghazi faster. It ultimately took the FBI 24 days.
"The response process was isolated at the most senior level," according to one intelligence source. "Counterterrorism professionals were not consulted and a decision was taken to send the FBI on its own without the enablers that would have allowed its agents to gain access to the site in Benghazi in a timely manner." The FBI team did not get on the ground in Benghazi for several weeks after the attack and at that point any "evidence" had been rifled through by looters and journalists.
"A better response approach could have certainly allowed the FBI to access the site much sooner than the 24 days it would eventually take," a source in the counterterrorism community said.
Further, the Counterterrorism Security Group, or CSG, was never asked to meet that night or in subsequent days, according to two separate counterterrorism officials, as first reported by CBS News. The CSG is composed of experts on terrorism from across government agencies and makes recommendations to the deputies who assist the president's Cabinet in formulating a response to crises involving terrorism.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Fox News, "the most senior people in government worked on this issue from the minute it happened. That includes the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Secretary of State, National Security advisor, etcetera. Additionally, the Deputies Committee -- the second in command at the relevant national security agencies -- met at least once and more often twice a day to manage the issue."
But the latest revelations, including reporting by Fox News that the State Department was warned a month before the attack that the consulate could not withstand a coordinated strike, have sparked renewed criticisms from top GOP lawmakers.
"Enough already, Mr. President," Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. said in a statement. "You need to address the American people and account for your leadership in the attack on our Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. You should explain to the American people what you knew, when you knew it, and what you did about it before, during and after the attack."
Several government spokesmen suggest that the president's top advisers were meeting that night to oversee the response, suggesting the employment of the Counterterrorism Security Group was not necessary.
As to why the FEST was not sent, State Department spokesman Philippe Reines responded that "the first thing to know is that it's not a security team. It's primarily a resource that State can send to help restore a facility. Best example is Nairobi after the bombing because the Embassy suffered such significant damage. It couldn't function properly without resuming basic infrastructure needs like communications. In this case, that was not necessary as Embassy Tripoli wasn't impacted and could, as it does today, continue to function normally."
Administration officials didn't know in the initial hours whether they had a potential hostage situation. According to an account now provided by the CIA and quoted by the Washington Post's David Ignatius, at 1:15 a.m. (more than three hours after the attack began) when Stevens was still missing: "the first idea is to go to a Benghazi hospital to recover Stevens, who they rightly suspect is already dead. But the hospital is surrounded by the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sharia militia that mounted the consulate attack."
This part of the CIA timeline released by the agency on Thursday suggests that the night of the attack, the CIA's Global Response Staff, or GRS, agents knew that an Al Qaeda-linked group was at the hospital where the ambassador's body had been taken -- and yet days later the CIA provided talking points to the administration before U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice went on five separate Sunday talk shows and made no mention of terrorism.
Fox News has learned that U.S. military intelligence was informing senior commanders as early as 7 p.m. ET -- less than four hours after the attack began -- that Ansar al-Sharia carried out the attack. The intelligence was relayed to the military with no caveats, according to a source familiar with the intelligence.
Further, Fox News has been shown two independent State Department cables, which have now been published by Foreign Policy magazine, that show that on the day of the attack Stevens' team sent cables expressing concern that the consulate was under surveillance. At least one of the cables says the Libyan police themselves -- the security force provided to the U.S. consulate by the Minister of Foreign Affairs -- was photographing the Consulate at 6:43 a.m. on the morning of the attack.
U.S. intelligence officials tell Fox News there were reports from eyewitnesses in Benghazi on Sept. 11 that an armed militia was gathering three hours before the attack on the consulate began at 9:47 p.m.

New Details On Benghazi
New details emerge of deadly attack on US Consulate in Libya
Published October 21, 2012
FoxNews.com
Nearly six weeks later, the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead is still shrouded in mystery. A clearer outline of the attack, though, is emerging.
A credible witness tells Fox News that, prior to the attack, he heard a mob approaching the mission’s front gate, chanting blood-thirsty slogans, before they broke in. He said it was less like a demonstration and more like a warm-up to battle.
This could explain how others thought, including some I spoke with, that the attack started as a protest.
In the crowd, we are told, were members of Islamist groups from Benghazi. They all deny responsibility for the attack.
One such figure, singled out in the past week, was one-time Brigade leader Ahmed Abu Khattalah. Both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal last Wednesday, citing Libyan officials, described him as a key suspect. They even suggested he was “on the run.”
I met with him openly last Friday. He admitted he was in the area of the mission the night of the attack (directing traffic) and inside the compound (assisting fellow brigade members). He denied any responsibility.
Pointedly, though, he refused to express any remorse for the death of Stevens.
The attack, Fox News is told by multiple witnesses, was strong, multi-pronged and organized. Those involved, said the attack involved various gauge weapons, including machine guns and RPGs.
Aside from severe fire damage to nearly all the buildings, however, there was not a lot of evidence of a firefight. There was, at most, one RPG impact and half a dozen bullet holes at the main residence. There were few shell casings lying around.
An explanation for this could be the closed-in nature of the mission’s neighborhood. There are houses, walls and trees all around. That could easily have amplified the impression of the attack.
What was apparent: Defenses at the mission clearly proved ineffective at fending off those who decided to take on the mission.
The compound was surrounded by walls 10 to 12 feet tall, topped by concertina razor and barbed wire. They were not breached. The lower metal front gate was undamaged. They didn’t have to be.
It appears that the mob either scaled the gate and opened it from behind or simply pried open a side smaller door to gain access.
As for the defensive positions, said to have been installed to serve as a fallback for those warding off attackers, they were little more than two low walls of sandbags.
There were several closed-circuit camera installations.While attackers targeted some, they appear to be intact and could already be supplying key video evidence regarding the start of the attack and the movement of the mob.
The attackers were systematic. First storming and torching the Libyan militia barracks beside the main gate, then the main residence where Ambassador Stevens was located.
They proceeded to the two other buildings on the compound, the second residence/dining facility, and the building used as the Tactical Operation Center, the brain room of the those protecting the American officials.
It is clear security was on the minds of those at the compound. It has been reported that Ambassador Stevens was concerned about the growing terror threat in the region. And they were told about it as well.
One Libyan official explained that he warned Americans in Benghazi just days before the attack about the risks. He said Americans acknowledged that.
Long-range security planning was probably not on the minds of Stevens, information manager Sean Smith and others that night of Sept. 11. The “safe haven” area of the main residence, where they spent their last hours, is a horrid scene of desperation.
It is this area, including bedrooms, bathrooms and closets, measuring about 90 square feet in size, sealed off with a locked gate from the rest of the building, where diplomatic special agents struggled to recover Stevens and Smith as the fire raged in other parts of the building.
The body of Smith was found, but despite multiple entries, the ambassador had to be left behind, only to be found later by looters entering the building. He would then be taken to a Benghazi hospital where doctors failed to revive him.
What happened exactly in those frenzied last minutes, and how Stevens wasn’t located, must certainly be another focus of investigators.
Libyan officials admit to us that they are not close to finding or arresting any key suspects. And there has been no word on that either from Washington.
What Fox News did hear though, throughout the visit, was the unmistakable hum of surveillance aircraft circling over Benghazi. Some folks most assuredly are listening, watching, waiting and trying to make sense of the still muddled scene down below.
