BALTIMORE, May 10, 2013 - The minute the Benghazi hearings wound up in the United States House of Representatives, the far left media (i.e., most of the media thrust upon Americans by way of TV, Radio and Print) began a concerted campaign to convince voters that there was nothing criminal about the failure to protect our consulate there, or the personnel who staffed it, or the cover-up of the failure to respond at all to an all-out attack on United States Sovereign Land in Benghazi by our arch-enemy, Al Qaeda. As it turns out, what went on after the September 11, 2012 attack had begun wasn't merely a benign failure to respond. Witness after witness told Congress that those in charge, whoever they were, actually acted several times to stop cold a number of military responses to the bloody attack that killed four Americans, including the United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens. You are reading that correctly: several military responses actually were underway when someone up the ladder, apparently in Washington, stopped them in their tracks. None of this fazed members of the media determined to steer any implication of wrong-doing away from obama or Hilary Clinton. Anyone not fitting into the "low information" category knows, naturally, that the evidence points directly at this "dynamic duo," but evidence doesn't affect those anchored in the far left, or uber left, as they are sometimes called. One of these 'Bagdad Bob' types tweeted late in the week that the GOP was to blame for everything. Sadly, the only thing most in the GOP are responsible for is their abject fear of challenging the rolling tide of governmental debauchery currently rinsing all vestiges of valor, integrity and nobleness from their last Washington strongholds.
Unless you were able to watch those hearings on Fox, or were totally determined to pull together the testimony from the sources that offered summary reports, this is what you missed:
(1) The United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was acutely aware that Al Qaeda had massed militia in and around Benghazi in the days leading up to the September 11, 2012 attack on the US Consulate there. He pleaded with Secretary of State Clinton and those above her (i.e., Obama) to authorize a strengthening of Security at the Consulate. Not only was his request summarily denied, but some security assets were actually shifted out of Benghazi in the days prior to the attack;
(2) No one in Benghazi knew anything about an American-Made video that cast the Muslim faith in a bad light.
(3) There was no spontaneous protest outside of the Consulate in Benghazi at anytime prior to the September 11, 2012 attacks on the Consulate there.
(4) The only thing that occurred in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 was a well-planned and well-orchestrated, vicious attack on the American Consulate and later on the Annex to the American Consulate. The few American Soldiers and Diplomats left to defend American Sovereign Ground on which those facilities stand fought valiantly for hours upon hours, during which time they pleaded for military assistance. No such assistance arrived. Two former Navy Seals who heard about the attack on radio frequencies they were listening to notified officials they were in Benghazi and available to help. They were ordered, expressly, to "stand down," i.e., to neither respond nor help in the defense. Both ignored the order and responded anyway. For hours they assisted in the defense. Then, assuming U.S. air planes or helicopters were nearby, they put a laser beam on an Al Qaeda emplacement. No plane or copter used the laser to locate and fire upon the emplacement. But Al Qaeda terrorists at the emplacement used the laser beam to pinpoint the two American Defenders. They were fired upon and killed, and are two of the four Americans Killed at Benghazi in the attacks. The other two were Ambassador Stevens and another American Diplomat. Some 31 Americans survived the attack, which lasted for approximately 12 hours.
(5) Greg Hicks is an American Diplomat detailed to Libya during the time of the Benghazi massacre. When the massacre was taking place, Hicks was in Libya's capital, Tripoli. As the attacks were taking place, Hicks was in radio contact with Ambassador Stevens. He vividly recalls that his last conversation with the Ambassador included Stevens saying to Hicks, "Greg, we are under attack."
(6) Hicks directed an American Special Forces contingent to respond to Benghazi and relieve the Defenders who, by then, were exhausted after hours of desperate fighting against an enemy that out-manned them and had superior fire power. These elite soldiers, who were literally chaffing at the bit because they, too, were monitoring the radio, gathered their gear and responded to an aircraft for the trip, but as they were boarding the commander of the group received a communication ffrom someone up the ladder from Hicks who told them, also, to "stand down."
(7) One question that the Hearings did not provide an answer for was the identity of the official or officials who gave the stand down orders to the two former Seals and to the elite unit directed into the fight by Greg Hicks. One retired American General said that the only person authorized to issue "stand down" orders was Obama. Hicks, in the months since the Massacre, has been demoted by the State Department, not for his activities during the attacks, but because he spoke with a Congressional Investigator without having a State Department Lawyer present. (I can understand why someone charged with a crime might insist on legal representation during an interrogation by the government. This is because the government opposes the person being questioned; in other words, the interrogator and the suspect are adversaries. But I thought Hicks and the Congressional Investigator were on the same side. They are not adversarial. The danger of leaking classified material could be overcome by attorneys reviewing a transcript of the interview before it was made public. Anyone with a brain understands that the reason Hilary Clinton needed an attorney present when Hicks was being questioned on the record was because she wanted to make sure that certain questions were never asked and certain topics were never broached. Tell me I am wrong.)
(8) Approximately 31 Americans survived the Benghazi Massacre. Did you know that before these Congressional hearings? Stunningly, not a single one of these survivors had spoken publicly in the eight months between the attack in Benghazi and the start of the Congressional Hearings. Since most Americans were unaware that there were American survivors of the Benghazi attacks, it is equally apparent that most Americans did not know the identities of these survivors. The hearings allowed a few of these survivors the opportunity to insert their version of events, and to make a public record of their identity. Swish the implications of that around in your mouth for a bit. Rumors were circulating in and around Washington circles and elsewhere that many, if not all of these 31 survivors had been sternly warned by their superiors at the State Department (i.e., Clinton Functionaries), and by Obama Functionaries, not to make public statements about events at Benghazi. But, of course, the elite uber left would have us all believe that it is only natural for such warnings to be issued, or was it that there were no such warnings? And yet some Americans are ready to elect this woman President. How goofy do you have to be to have that desire percolating in your mind? If Mrs. Clinton had even a small shred of decency she would announce immediately that she is not a candidate for President. But she doesn't, so she won't. President Obama vaguely denied these allegations in the days leading up to the Congressional Hearings. His actual statement was to the effect that he was not aware that survivors had been told to remain quiet and out of public view. But he is an honest fellow. The sky is scarlet.
(9) It is a matter of public record that obama, hilary, Susan Rice (former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations), and Jay Carney, the Obama press spokesperson, said for months after the attacks that the violence at the consulate in Benghazi was the result of spontaneous demonstrations brought about by Muslim outrage over a video made by a California resident. The video is said to denigrate the Muslim Faith. But, as it turns out, Obama, Clinton, Rice and Carney were all aware from the time of the attacks that the video played no role whatsoever in the Benghazi Massacre. In fact, the hearings revealed that a full two days after the Massacre a top-ranking State Department official told the Libyan Prime Minister that the attacks were a planned operation by Al Qaeda terrorists. Did you get that? Let me repeat. Two days after the attacks in Benghazi a top State Department official told Libyan leaders that the attacks were a planned Al Qaeda operation, and yet the Secretary of State, the President, the UN Ambassador and the White House spokesperson all continued to tell the public that it was spontaneous reactions to an American-made video that caused the Massacre of Four Americans. In other words, for months the administration gave an account of Benghazi that was not only knowingly false, but was made for the sole purpose of propping up a falsehood that Obama was campaigning on. What was this falsehood that was a central tenet of his campaign to be re-elected? Over and over again, at virtually every campaign appearance, he told people that he had personally killed Osama bin Laden, and that this one act had virtually neutered Al Qaeda.
(10) Several days after the Al Qaeda attack on Benghazi, the bodies of the four murdered Americans were flown into Andrews Air Force Base in Washington. Their coffins, each draped in the American Flag, were unloaded from the airplane and lined up, side-by-side on the tarmac in front of their families and top American officials, including President Obama, Hilary Clinton, and Vice President Biden. Family members have told the press that Obama and Clinton seemed cold and distant at the ceremony on the tarmac. The Congressional Hearings revealed why. Obama and Clinton had agreed between themselves that they would stick to the video charade even for the families of the dead Americans. Both promised family members that they would bring the maker of the video to justice, when all the while they both knew this person had absolutely nothing to do with the deaths of the four Americans.
Many have pointed to this incident as the focus of their anger about the cover-up.
obama also repeated this completely false narrative many days after knowing the truth, during a guest appearance on the Letterman Show, and again during his speech before the United Nations. Even worse (if anything could be worse than the spectacle of a United States President doing what he did in front of the wives, mothers and fathers of the four slain Americans), Obama ordered functionaries to stage a televised, middle-of-the-night seizure and arrest of the "Shadowy" California Man, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who made the film about the Muslim faith. Although the man's arrest was based on an alleged parole violation, the spectacle was quickly aired throughout the Middle East by al-Jeezera, the television network based in Qatar that is widely viewed by Middle East Muslims. The seizure and arrest were depicted as American retribution against the man who made the anti-Muslim film. The actual violation for which the man was arrested is a very low priority item on law enforcement's list and the televised, middle-of-the-night staging was only done at Obama's behest. The arrested man is a Coptic Christian. Coptic Christians date to 42 AD, when, shortly after Christ's Ascension, Saint Mark journeyed to Alexandria, in Egypt, and founded a Christian Church Community. The first patriarch of the Coptic Church was also installed then, and the line of Coptic Patriarchs has been unbroken since that time. The Coptic Church has broken away from both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. As indicated above, Obama actually called the arrested man, Mr. "a shadowy character." This shadowy character remains imprisoned.
(11) Rep. John Beiner, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, has promised that more Benghazi hearings would be scheduled to permit other survivors to testify and also to provide a forum for Congressional Investigators to testify.
Despite the compelling testimony describing a cover-up orchestrated by obama and hilary clinton (the current President and the top candidate from the far left to replace him, the far left press has trumpeted the line in print and in broadcasts that the sole purpose of the hearings was for the Repubicans to tarnish clinton. While it is a truly ridiculous argument, the truth is that no one had to help the wife of one of only two American Presidents to be impeached while in office, to wipe mud all over herself.
