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.

November, 2018, Part 5, Political CLass Insanity: Yes Barack, You Did Have Scandals....And A Lot Of Them, Part 2

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started. With the midterm election season in progress, Obama has decided that he needs to weigh in on the issues of the day. Never mind that for eight years he was useless, he somehow thinks that America needs his views and opinions. 

1) One of the self centered remarks he has been constantly making while out in the country was that his administration had no scandals. But the All News 247 blog did a great job identifying well over a dozen major scandals that he somehow forgot about, ten of which we reviewed in our last post:

1 - In a move that never made any sense, Obama traded five high value, very dangerous Taliban terrorist leaders for a single Army deserter, Bowe Bergdahl. Other U.S. soldiers were wounded and killed trying to rescue deserter Bergdahl and yet, Obama traded dangerous people for a deserter.

And recently it has come to pass that these five have been heavily involved in recent Taliban terror actions and leadership roles since they have been released, endangering not only U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan but endangering an untold number of Afghanistan citizens. Scandalous.

2 - Under Obama, the EPA managed to turn the Colorado River into an orange stained polluted waterway via its incompetence. If a private company or citizen had been so careless in their actions, which let to a massive pollution problem, they would have been fined and likely jailed. Since the Obama administration did it, there were no ramifications.

3 - The General Services Administration (GSA) was one of the most corrupt Federal government organizations under Obama. It wasted so much much taxpayer wealth, threw lavish parties in faraway locales like Las Vegas, and yet it was near impossible to get anyone fired for the waste.
4 - Despite promising numerous times to fix what was broken at the Veterans Administration to stop the suffering and lack of care our veterans were receiving, he failed miserably at fixing this massive problem. It is one thing not to know a problem exists and therefore not address it and fix it. 

But it is far worse to acknowledge this problem exists and then for eight years fail miserably to adequately address it. His scandalous incompetence resulted in the outright deaths of veterans who had to wait months to see a VA doctor, a wait that was often too long. And yet, VA executives received lavish pay raises and perks. Or as the article summarized: “Obama was more interested in spinning the news and minimizing his political exposure than addressing problems; in few areas outside Obama Care has his rhetoric been more hollow, his promises more meaningless.”

5 - Obama’s Vice President, Joe Biden, once said that the Obama administration was going to “place bets” on different alternative energy companies and technologies. But it turned that 1) all of those bets with taxpayer money went to Democratic supporters and donors and 2) all of those bets lost, resulting in no tangible benefit for the American taxpayer of the environment.

The queen of lost bets and wasted taxpayer wealth was the failed solar energy company Solyndra. Despite receiving over half a billion dollars of taxpayer wealth, the company still failed quickly and dramatically. Obama then compounded the loss by allowing a major Democratic donor and Solyndra investor to be placed ahead of the American taxpayer in the Solyndra bankruptcy proceedings.

6 - Despite its reputation of being efficient and effective, the Secret Service organization under Obama was a disaster and disgrace. Secret Service agents were caught cavorting with hookers in Columbia, they allowed a fence jumper to deeply penetrate the White House, drunken Secret Service agents drove their car into a security barrier and an agent had his gun, badge, and computer drive stolen from his car.

7 - Let the article describe the next scandal: “Shutdown theater: Obama hit the American people hard during the great government shutdown crisis of 2013, doing everything he could to make American citizens feel maximum pain – from using “Barry-cades” to keep war veterans away from their memorials, to releasing illegal alien criminals from detention centers. It was an infuriating lesson for voters in how every dollar they get from government is a dollar that can be used against them, when they are impudent enough to demand spending restraint.”

8 - And last but not least, Obama agreed to a foolish and doomed to failure Iran nuclear deal. He promised that the deal would result in better life styles for ordinary Iranian citizens which would cause the Iranian government terrorists in power to stop their terror campaigns across the world.

And the deal was a failure on both counts. Life for Iranian citizens has gotten far worse under the deal, resulting in public demonstrations in Iran, a very dangerous thing to do under any dictatorship. The Iranian government has intensified its terror dealings and shenanigans around the world, funded in part by the millions and millions of dollars in cold cash that Obama tried to secretly sent to them.

2) Yesterday we discussed one of the most serious Obama scandals, the shredding of the Fourth Amendment, when he had the intelligence agencies of the Federal government spy on and collect the electronic communications of every American without cause or warrants. But now according to the Horn News website, Obama was not satisfied with just spying on ordinary citizens:

• A new report has surfaced explaining that former President Barack Obama actually spied on Congress so he could punish the whistleblowers who warned them about Obama’s ‘Big Brother’ spy tactics.
• Congressional investigators found that the Obama administration secretly stole communications sent to Congressional staff people, communications from CIA whistleblowers.
• These whistleblowers were trying to warn Congress that Obama was abusing the resources of the CIA for political purposes, something that Obama wanted to prevent from becoming public.
• According to Senator Chuck Grassley, who as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee tried for five years to get the documents proving such heinous and illegal actions: “The fact that the CIA under the Obama administration was reading congressional staff’s e-mails about intelligence community whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns, as well as potential constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly. Nothing—nothing—should inhibit or interfere with Congress’s constitutional job and protecting whistleblowers.” 
• Grassley’s effort continually ran into roadblocks set up by James Clapper, Obama’s National Intelligence Director, and John Brennan, his CIA Director, who obviously did not want their illegal and immoral actions to be uncovered.
• Obama and the NSA spied on the entire country and even the left leaning, liberal ACLU agreed that Obama went well beyond what was legal under the Constitution: “Americans should be alarmed that the NSA is vacuuming up their emails and phone calls without a warrant,” the ACLU said about the Obama-era NSA in 2017.
• And do not forget, Obama prosecuted nine government whistleblowers during his eight years,three times more than all other U.S. Presidents combined.
• Grassley correctly called Obama’s actions “unacceptable and unpatriotic,” since those actions could stop “responsible citizens from disclosing waste, fraud and abuse in our government. Blowing the whistle has played an integral role in maintaining good government.” 
• Fortunately, Clinton was not elected because you can bet none of this law breaking and Constitution shredding would have become public knowledge. 

Well over a dozen Obama scandals and areas of law breaking have been discussed over the past two posts. And yet he is so delusional that he either believes there were no scandals or he thinks that we are too stupid to realize his numerous scandals even existed. In either case, a perfect example of political class insanity.

More insanity to follow.

March, 2018, Part 1, Political Class Insanity: Ignorance, Vanity, Racism, and Guilt Of The Current Set of American Politicians

It is the beginning of another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let's get started:

1) We often associate political corruption with those in Washington but rampant political corruption also exists at all levels of government including local government, as recently reported by the Allentown (Pa.) Morning Call newspaper:

• Apparently Allentown, Pa. mayor Ed Pawlowski was recently found guilty on a whole slew of corruption charges.
• He was found guilty on 47 charges during his trial and not guilty on 7 charges.
• Most of the charges centered around kickback situations where he “traded contributions to his campaigns for favorable treatment that helped donors get work from the city.”
• A co-conspirator was also found guilty.
• He is likely facing up to ten years in prison according to the laws he was found guilty of breaking.

The good news is that a bad politician finally got what the law said should happen to any lawbreaker. The bad news is we don't know how many other like him in all levels of government are getting away with what he caught doing.

2) In any function of government, whether it is executive, legislative or judicial, we should always want the most qualified candidates for those jobs. This is true not only in government but also in business: why would you put someone less qualified to do a job in a job when there was someone better qualified?

Well, apparently that it is how Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer thinks: rather than filling a recent judicial opening based on qualifications he wants judgeships to be filled based on the race of the candidate, not on the qualifications of the candidate:

• The Senate recently had to vote on whether a gentleman named Marvin Quattlebaum should fill a court vacancy in the South District Court in South Carolina.
• Schumer, as is required under the Constitution, is one of 100 Senators who, in our check and balance system of government, gets to determine if that person should be approved for that judicial seat.
• One would hope that those 100 Senators would base their decision to vote for or against that nomination based on the credentials and abilities of that individual, in this case, Mr. Quattlebaum.
• But not Schumer, he opposed the nominee not because he was not qualified, not because he would not make a good judge but because Mr. Quattlebaum had the nerve to be born to white parents: “The nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary. Quattlebaum replaces not one, but two scuttled Obama nominees who were African American.”
• So apparently it is now an important criteria in selecting judges that their ethnic background be taken into account and the ethnic background of who they are replacing also be taken into account, their credentials and abilities be damned.

This is racism in one of its purest forms: pre-determining an outcome based on race rather than experience or ability. It undermines the entire process of getting the best candidate to fill the position. If Schumer thought Quattlebaum was not qualified, that is certainly his Constitutional perogative to say so. But to reject a candidate out of hand simply because of his race is pure racism at the highest levels of government in this country.

3) If you are having a discussion or debate with someone, you would hope that the person you are debating actually knows what they are talking about.Otherwise, you quickly realize you are arguing with ignorance and why waste your time arguing with someone who knows nothing what they are talking about.

Such was the case with one of our most vocal and yet ignorant politicians of the day, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. In a recent Independent Journal Review article that was covering Wasserman-Schultz try to make the case for more gun control in light of the recent school shootings, she made the following argument: “We moved legislation in the House at that point. We did not — we were not able to get the 60 votes for those proposals in the Senate. But that's not an excuse. I mean, these issues, making sure that we can do something about eliminating military-style weapons from society and only making sure that people who are in the military can utilize them rather than civilians and making sure that we don't have high-capacity rapid-fire magazines that allow mass killings and whose primary purpose is only to achieve that, that's going to solve this problem.”

“Rapid fire magazines?” Sorry, Congresswoman, there is no such thing as rapid fire magazines. The rifle holding the magazine determines whether or not it is “rapid fire,” the magazine itself has nothing to do with the rate of fire. Becomes really difficult to take a politician seriously when their ignorance is on this subject or any subject is so obvious.

4) Let’s conclude the insanity today with a recent Obama speech where he actually claimed that “We [his administration] didn’t have any scandals.” He made this ignorant statement at a recent MIT event, an event that was kept very private and secret with no transcript of his remarks given out to the press.

When a politician makes an inane statement like this you have to sit back and wonder: does he think that we are so enthralled with with he has to say that we ignore the reality of how many scandals he presided over or is he so vain that he actually believes this nonsense? No scandals? Seems to me I remember quite a few:

• You ran one of the least transparent Presidencies of all times as pointed out by the White House Correspondents Association and other journalism organizations.
• You lied about the true cause of the Benghazi terrorist attack in front of the country and the world.
• You shredded the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans when you weaponized the IRS to deter Republican, Tea Party, and conservative organizations from getting non-profit approval from the IRS.
• You broke domestic and international laws and treaties and placed military grade weapons and equipment in the hands of violent drug cartels via your failed Fast and Furious program.
• You shredded the Fourth Amendment rights of millions of Americans by collecting just about every electronic communications they made without due cause and without a legitimate warrant process.
• You lied hundreds of times about what Obama Care would do the health care and health insurance of millions of Americans by falsely promising they could keep their doctors, their health care plans, and current hospitals when you knew full well that was not going to happen under your signature Obama Care legislation.
• You allowed your Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to operate a money laundering/crime syndicate scheme under the guise of the faux Clinton Foundation charity which grossly and personally enriched the Clinton family.
• You allowed your Secretary of State to use an unsecured computer server in her home, breaking lord knows how many government tenets and laws.
• You allowed numerous high ranking people in your administration, including yourself, to use fake email ids in violation of existing Federal laws.
• You made Freedom of Information Act requests very difficult and time consuming to obtain and in the process violated both the spirit and the law of that piece of legislation.
• You weaponized the intelligence operations in this country to go after journalists that were simply critical of your administration, e.g. James Rosen, Sharyl Attkisson and others.
• You traded highly dangerous terrorist leaders for a sole Army deserter named Bowe Bergdahl while ignoring the grief and sorrow of families of soldiers who lost their lives or who were wounded looking for the deserter.

Let’s stop here, anymore would be overkilling an obviously vain or ignorant statement of the former President. Either way, vanity or ignorance is not a trait we should encourage in our political leaders but they are two traits that are usually stronger than integrity, brains, and will.

That will do it for today’s political class insanity: a former President is ignorant or vain, a current Congresswoman is ignorant, a current Senator is a racist, and a mayor is guilty. Quite the array of “leaders” we have leading the country today. More insanity to follow.
