Revisiting Benghazi: What Might Have Really Happened, What Might Have Been The Underlying Cause of the Disaster, and How It All Ties Together In Corruption at The Highest Levels Of Government

 Let’s take a break from discussing wasteful government  spending, failed government programs, criminal activity and convictions of elected representatives, and other political class nonsense and briefly revisit the Benghazi incident from 2012. A quick review:

  • On September 11. 2012, al Qaeda terrorists attacked the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

  • Libya was in a total state of turmoil with various terrorist groups and  militias trying to take over the country.

  • For some reason, U.S. diplomat Christopher Stevens was in the country under circumstances that were never really explained since that wasn't his assigned diplomatic post.

  • In the midst of the attack, most Americans pon site had escaped to a local CIA safe house but the ambassador and government information officer, Sean Smith, did not get out in time and went into a safe room inside the mission.

  • Unfortunately, the terrorists found them and they were eventually murdered, with Mr. Stevens’ body dragged through the streets before his body was recovered.

  • Two attacks on the safe house were repelled but it resulted in the deaths of two brave security officials, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

  • Many questions arose out of the attacks included what was Ambassador Stevens’ duty and assignment in the country, why were relief forces sent in sooner to rescue the remaining Americans (who probably lived only because of the  military training and brave exploits of Mr. Woods and Mr. Doherty), and who came up with the ridiculous and inane idea that the attacks were caused by a very, very obscure anti-Muslim YouTube video?

And now consider some of the “conspiracy” theories that turned out to be true even though they were reported and ridiculed by the mass media:

  • The mass media reported extensively on the Trump/Russian collusion theory ….but it was false.

  • The mass media reported extensively that the Hunter Biden laptop was a classic Russian disinformation effort ….  but it was false.

  • The  mass media reported extensively that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack and in good cognitive condition  …. but it was false.

  • The mass media extensively reported that the Covid virus originated in nature ….. but it was false.

  • The mass media extensively reported that Trump was the only person wearing blue at the recent funeral for the Pope …. But it was false.

  • And finally the mass media extensively reported that the above referenced obscure YouTube video caused the benghazi terrorist attack.

Given all  of the above, consider the following, unsourced analysis on what may have really been the reason for the Benghazi disaster and unnecessary deaths:

***********************************************

Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in

Qatar by the CIA.

Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”

Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!

THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.

Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.

Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.

So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.

************************************************************

The above dialog certainty explains, in a cohesive manner,  what might have really happened at Benghazi and explains a lot of related treasonous and criminal activities within the highest reaches of the Obama administration: 

  • Selling dangerous weapons without Congressional approval in a dangerous part of the world.

  • Trading one renegade U.S. Army deserter for five high value and high ranking Islamic terrorists, worst trade deal EVER.

  • U.S. weapons being used to attack U.S. military forces in Afghanistan.

  • A Secretary Of State destroying government records and subjecting those records to foreign government computer hacks by having an unsecured computer in her home.

  • Lying about the true cause of the attack in Benghazi, the infamous YouTube video.

I do not know if the above account of the disaster is true. But after living through the false reporting of other so-called conspiracy theories, fully aware that just about any politician will lie at the drop of a hat (or to protect themselves), and seeing how the above account ties together every aspect in a very tight and logical manner, I conclude that four brave Americans unnecessarily died and their memory was tainted by cheap political types trying to hide their failures and conniving egos.

April, 2025, Part 7, Political Class Insanity: Congressional Hypocrisy, Congressional Criminality, Food Bank Corruption, and More

 More insanity from the American political class, it never ends:


1)We have previously discussed the massive waste of taxpayer wealth that has been going on in Washington. They have spent billions of taxpayer dollars on such nonsense as putting on a Seamare Street play in Iraq, tourism in Egypt, sex change operations in Guatemala, and hundreds of other stupid expenditures.


But it  is  not just in DC that taxpayer wealth is getting washed everyday:


  • The Foodbank of Southern California is a food bank in Long Beach, California.

  • Organizations like this should be fulfilling a crucial role in society since there are about 770,000 homeless Americans on the streets today and hundreds of thousands of them  are in California.

  • And apparently the Foodbank Of Southern California has been doing this function for a while.

  • But a lawsuit has been filed that alleges that $11 million in taxpayer dollars was misused and abused.

  • The allegation is that former CEO, Jeanne Cooper, and her spouse, Lamarr Ramsey, used $228,000 of food bank funds at Best Buy, Home Depot, and AT&T for their own needs.

  • They also routed thousands of food bank funds to phantom transportation and repair expenses through family members.

  • They also used funds for Christmas decor and a smartwatch.

  • In total, ten current or former board members have been implicated in the misuse of funds.


And while the funds have been diverted to personal uses, homeless folks in the state continue to struggle for food and shelter. Makes you wonder how many other programs and organizations are receiving government funds and their operators are also skimming dollars off of the top. 


Given that the major social problems in the state keep getting worse and worse, I think the answer is pretty obvious.


2)One of the major problems of our time is the reality that over 100,000 Americans die every year from drug addiction overdoses. This problem was not helped by Biden’s failed immigration policy as he opened up the borders and illegal poisonous drugs, especially fentanyl, flooded over the border into every state in the union.


But recently, as a result of Biden not being in office any more, there was a major victory in the war against illegal drugs:


  • The USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul Navy combat ship made its maiden voyage.

  • And the ship and its crew scored a big success by intercepting and seizing $12 million worth of illegal drugs on its maiden voyage.

  • The haul included 580 kilograms of cocaine, more than half a ton, and 2,480  pounds of marijuana, more than a ton.


A small victory and success in the massive Federal government bureaucracy, a success that quite possibly saved American lives. Too bad most other government programs were as successful as soon.


3)Bernie Sanders is the closest thing to a socialist in Congress. For years. He has lamented about wealthy Americans keeping the masses poor and downtrodden and that somehow his socialist and communist policies would fix the inequities. He preaches this stuff even though he is  actually in the upper echelon of wealth in this country.


His hypocrisy was recently reinforced:


  • The Washington  Free Beacon recently reported that Sanders' campaign organization, “Friends of Bernie Sanders,” spent $221,723 on private charter jets to fly Sanders around the country for his “Fighting Oligarchy Tour.”

  • Additionally repulsive was this money was spent in just three months.

  • So why talking about common folks like us and how evil wealthy people are, he is jetting around the country on private jets.

  • Michael Bloomberg, former politician and former mayor of NYC,  nicely described Sanders’ hypocrisy back in 2020: “The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses.” 

Another day, another Washington hypocrite.

4)And Washington is not just full  of hypocrites, it also has its share of criminals:

  • Former Congressman, George Santos, was recently sentenced to 87 months in Federal prison.

  • He had previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

  • He not only got prison time but was also court ordered to repay $374,000 to his victims.

  • The sentencing judge did not have a lot of sympathy for Santos: Where is the remorse? I don’t relish sending people to jail but Mr. Santos is fully deserving of this sentence.” 


Given that another former member of Congress, Robert Menendez, was also sentenced to jail time for his corruption and crimes, it is not a good integrity trend for Congress these days.


5)Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has been tagging along with Bernie Sanders on his Fighting Oligarchy Tour and her hypocrisy is also been uncovered as a result:


  • Like Sanders, she has been railing against wealthy people even though,  like Sanders, she has been jetting around the country in private jets.

  • We as a community must choose and vote for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class,” Ocasio-Cortez said at a recent rally even though she was recently photographed existing a Bombardier Challenger 604, a luxury aircraft designed for private use with a between $5 million and $7 million price tag.

  • But her hypocrisy on rich people might be minor compared to potential  financial missteps she has alleged to have made.

  • She may have used a taxpayer funded Congressional office budget for dance training.

  • An independent government watchdog, Americans for Public Trust, also accused her of using taxpayer money for campaign expenses, a no-no.

  • “Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s troubling payments from her taxpayer funded account for activities such as dance classes should be investigated. In the era of reining in government spending, the American people deserve to know lawmakers are being good stewards of their tax dollars,” Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, previously said. 

Private jets for politicians lamenting the wealthy and privileged, former Congress members going to jail, taxpayer money for dance lessons, taxpayer stealing food bank money for private use, and one small success story. Seems the taxpayers are still losing.
