Ambassdor Chris Stevens sacrificed on the altar of Obama’s Mideast appeasment policies

2 Replies

Most disturbing of all is to learn that the US was warned 48 hours before the attacks and did NOTHING to warn this country’s diplomats or to beef up security. One would think that beefing up security on the 11th anniversary of the destruction of the WTC twin towers would be a no-brainer, standard operating procedure, but no. The man who can recite the Muslim call to prayer, the Shahada did no such thing. In fact, most shocking of all is the night of September 11th, when Chris Stevens was known to be missing for five hours, Obama went to bed and slept like a baby!

Barack Obama has the blood of Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff on his hands.

There simply is no other way to put it. His incoherent policies of appeasement in the Mideast and with our adversaries have left our country weaker and our foreign policies in tatters. Online Der Speigel says flatly that, “Obama’s Middle East Policy Is in Ruins‘

While the lap dogs in the MSM and Team Obama continue to spin the story that it was a lame 14 minute movie trailer, out on the Internet and on YouTube for months that caused the surprise attacks on the Libyan embassy, the truth behind the attack continues to come out.

Not only wasn’t the attack a surprise, Barack “why do I have to read those boring intelligence reports“ Obama and the State Department had been warned about the possibility of the attacks. Jay Carney’s response they lacked “actionable intelligence” not only doesn’t cut it, it is diametrically opposed to what the Libyans have been saying for days.

Reading from these various sources that emphatically assert the US was warned days in advance of the attacks:

  • The Egyptian General Intelligence Service warned that a radical jihadi group is planning to launch terrorist attacks against the US and Israeli embassies in Cairo. Egypt Independent
  • According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and “lockdown”, under which movement is severely restricted. The Independent
  • Egypt intelligence warns of terror plot against US, Israeli embassies. ynetnews.com
  • Al-Masry Al-Youm reportedly obtained a copy of the September 4 letter, sent to all Egyptian security sectors, warning that Sinai- and Gaza-based Global Jihad cells were planning attacks on the two embassies. The Jerusalem Post
  • Libyan military official claims he met with U.S. diplomats to tell them about the deteriorating security situation and President Mohamed el-Megarif says the attacks were NOT sparked by anti-Islamic video, but by Al Qaeda-connected foreigners. The DailyMailOnLine


I have remained a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton, having watched how the DNC nomination was literally ripped from her hands, stolen from her in 2008. I haven’t always agreed with all of her decisions but I decided to keep my power dry as it were, but not on this time.

Ultimately, the buck stops with Obama, but sadly, Hillary Clinton also has some “splainin to do”.

Ret. Col. David] Hunt told Breitbart News that the new State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya, approved and signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the 2011 fall of Khadafi’s regime, severely compromised the safety and security of murdered Ambassador Stevens and all American diplomatic staff in Libya.

He also stated that the decision not to staff Benghazi with Marines was made by Secretary of State Clinton when she attached her signature to the State Department Rules of Engagement for Libya document. Breitbart News has subsequently learned that under those rules of engagement, Secretary Clinton prohibited Marines from providing security at any American diplomatic installation in Libya.

My loathing and disgust for MSM holds no bounds. They have gone over and above reason, common sense, and good taste (remember that quaint concept) turning themselves inside out to protect their poseur president.

Their relentless attacks on Mitt Romney for having the temerity to question Obama’s policies and the statements originally made by the State Department & on Obama’s website (later repudiated) on the evening of 9/11 remain unrelenting.

Their faux outrage over the timing of Mitt’s comments ring hollow. They practice group think and group speak, incapable of asking a single question as to why our Libyan ambassador and his staff were left to be slaughtered like lambs.

No wonder, as the MSM continues to shill and pimp for Obama, the disdain and hostility for this group grows hourly.

 

 

Obama’s Mideast Debacle; You Built This – US Ambassador & Three Others Dead

The end result of Obama’s “leading from behind”.

What has happened in the last two days is much bigger than the always ineligible man sitting in the White House, the British born Barack Obama.

We have a man with little feeling for this country who loves power and drones, whose actions and willful inactions have wrought havoc in the Mideast death to our  Ambassador in Libya, Chris Stevens and his staff.

It isn’t just that Obama has shown  he is as ineffective as Jimmy Carter or that this is what happens when a feckless amateur holds the most powerful office in the world. What is worse is that the lapdogs in the MSM are doing everything they can to protect him and divert attention from the massive failures his Mideast policies.

It is now being reported that the attack was most likely planned, something that was easily seen yesterday by anyone who isn’t a part of Obama’s administration. The attacks in Libya & Egypt were attacks on this country planned to be purposely executed on 9/11. We witnessed an act of war on Barack Hussein Obama’s watch, the direct result of his policies of appeasement.

Most disturbing of all is to learn that the US was warned 48 hours before the attacks and did NOTHING to warn this country’s diplomats or to beef up security. One would think that beefing up security on the 11th anniversary of the destruction of the WTC twin towers would be a no-brainer, standard operating procedure, but no. The man who can recite the Muslim call to prayer, the Shahada did no such thing.

In fact, most shocking of all is the night of September 11th, when Chris Stevens was known to be missing for five hours, Obama went to bed and slept like a baby!

The following was compiled by IBD and details how Obama has aided in the radicalization of the Mideast.

As you review Obama’s actions keep in mind that in the days leading up to the embassy attacks in Libya and Egypt, not only did Obama refuse to hold a meeting with Benjamin Netenyatu, but he also forgave $1.3 billion in debt  to Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed president, Mohamad Morsi.

2009: The Brotherhood’s spiritual leader — Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi — writes an open letter to Obama arguing terrorism is a direct response to U.S. foreign policy.

2009: Obama travels to Cairo to deliver apologetic speech to Muslims, and infuriates the Mubarak regime by inviting banned Brotherhood leaders to attend. Obama deliberately snubs Mubarak, who was neither present nor mentioned. He also snubs Israel during the Mideast trip.

2009: Obama appoints a Brotherhood-tied Islamist — Rashad Hussain — as U.S. envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which supports the Brotherhood.

2010: State Department lifts visa ban on Tariq Ramadan, suspected terrorist and Egyptian-born grandson of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna.

2010: Hussain meets with Ramadan at American-sponsored conference attended by U.S. and Brotherhood officials.

2010: Hussain meets with the Brotherhood’s grand mufti in Egypt.

2010: Obama meets one-on-one with Egypt’s foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, who later remarks on Nile TV: “The American president told me in confidence that he is a Muslim.”

2010: The Brotherhood’s supreme guide calls for jihad against the U.S.

2011: Qaradawi calls for “days of rage” against Mubarak and other pro-Western regimes throughout Mideast.

2011: Riots erupt in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Crowds organized by the Brotherhood demand Mubarak’s ouster, storm buildings.

2011: The White House fails to back longtime ally Mubarak, who flees Cairo.

2011: White House sends intelligence czar James Clapper to Capitol Hill to whitewash the Brotherhood’s extremism. Clapper testifies the group is moderate, “largely secular.”

2011: Qaradawi, exiled from Egypt for 30 years, is given a hero’s welcome in Tahrir Square, where he raises the banner of jihad.

2011: Through his State Department office, William Taylor — Clinton’s special coordinator for Middle East transitions and a longtime associate of Brotherhood apologists —gives Brotherhood and other Egyptian Islamists special training to prepare for the post-Mubarak elections.

2011: The Brotherhood wins control of Egyptian parliament, vows to tear up Egypt’s 30-year peace treaty with Israel and reestablishes ties with Hamas, Hezbollah.

2011: Obama gives Mideast speech demanding Israel relinquish land to Palestinians, while still refusing to visit Israel.

2011: Justice Department pulls plug on further prosecution of U.S.-based Brotherhood front groups identified as collaborators in conspiracy to funnel millions to Hamas.

2011: In a shocking first, the State Department formalizes ties with Egypt’s Brotherhood, letting diplomats deal directly with Brotherhood party officials in Cairo.

April 2012: The administration quietly releases $1.5 billion in foreign aid to the new Egyptian regime.

June 2012: Morsi wins presidency amid widespread reports of electoral fraud and voter intimidation by gun-toting Brotherhood thugs — including blockades of entire streets to prevent Christians from going to the polls. The Obama administration turns a blind eye, recognizes Morsi as victor.

June 2012: In a victory speech, Morsi vows to instate Shariah law, turning Egypt into an Islamic theocracy, and also promises to free jailed terrorists. He also demands Obama free World Trade Center terrorist and Brotherhood leader Omar Abdel-Rahman, a.k.a. the Blind Sheik, from U.S. prison.

June 2012: State grants visa to banned Egyptian terrorist who joins a delegation of Brotherhood officials from Egypt. They’re all invited to the White House to meet with Obama’s deputy national security adviser, who listens to their demands for the release of the Blind Sheik.

July 2012: Obama invites Morsi to visit the White House this September. The Muslim Brotherhood’s sudden ascendancy in the Mideast didn’t happen organically. It was helped along by a U.S. president sympathetic to its interests over those of Israel and his own country.

The untold story of the “Arab Spring” is that the Obama administration secretly helped bring Islamofascists to power.

 

Obama’s Failed Presidency

This picture might be funny if it weren’t so tragically accurate and pathetic.

If the truth be told, I predicted that Obama would turn out to be worse than Carter…in December of 2009!

Sadly, these wasted four years were easy to predict. His so-called soaring rhetoric always left me cold.

He is so clearly an empty suit, a glib pretender whose ascendancy was aided and abetted by the MSM, many members of Congress, and the courts. This group of actors continues to cover for him and his disastrous policies.

He surrounded himself with Chicago political hacks like the Iranian born Valerie Jarrett, bullies like Rahm Emanuel, and tax cheats like Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Oh, and let us not forget the most corrupt Attorney General since John Mitchell, Eric Holder now in contempt of Congress for refusing to tell the truth about Fast & Furious.

He dissed the Congress and the Constitution issuing the greatest number of presidential directives and executive orders of any president in our history. His dissed our friends and allies and made friends with out enemies.

He trashed NASA’s space program so now our astronauts have to hitch a ride on Russian rockets to get to the space station the US built! In the process we also lost 7000 thousand precious jobs.

The economy is in a shambles and getting worse. The debt is close to $16 TRILLION dollars. His $800 billion stimulus was doomed to fail from the beginning, lacking direction, focus, and accountability!

He then shoved ObamaCare through the Senate with bribery, lies, and chicanery and despite the public’s universal hatred of the plan. Now officially a tax according to the Supreme Court, it remains one of the most despised pieces of legislation in our history with 60% of the public angry and against it.

Last month 163,00 thousand jobs were created. Team Obama is spinning the number like it was some great accomplishment when in fact it underscores his economic failures. In the healthy economies of the past, the country created 350,000 jobs every month!

I haven’t touched upon the unemployment rate the MSM reports at 8.3% (really 15%), or Obama’s 36 Czars (what is it that the Great Lakes Czar does exactly?), or his never ending golfing, or Michelle’s over spending, or the over regulation of everything from lemonade stands to oil fields.

Gas prices are up and US production is down while we have INCREASED our imports of foreign oil by 30%. There’s more, much, much, more. By any measure his presidency is a failure of gigantic proportions.

He has succeeded at one thing in addition to improving his golf score. He’s made Jimmy Carter look good… no easy accomplishment!

 

Obama Owns Supreme Court’s Decision; Obamacare is Legal as a Tax!

When is a win not a win or a tax not a tax? Or maybe I should have opined, “be careful for what you wish for, you may get it.” 

Obamacare passed constitutional muster today in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice Roberts. The most hated piece of legislation ever passed by the Congress is now officially the law of the land.

Yea, rah rah, maybe!

Chief Justice Roberts is either the cleverest or the most devious jurist ever. With his majority opinion in place, that Obamacare is not constitutional under the Commerce Clause, but is constitutional as a tax, Obama is stuck explaining how this contradiction in his portrayal of the law could have come to pass.

After all, didn’t Obama and is minions tell the American people countless times that Obamacare was not a tax.

This is from the White House Insider and what today’s decision means:

And the initial reports I’m getting are telling me there was a lot more clever going on inside that decision than the initial reaction will indicate. It’s the Obama Tax now.  And states were given an out.  The entire law is a big ass convoluted mess and the ruling has reinforced that fact.  Obama will have to defend something he doesn’t understand, and Romney can now sit back and just repeat over and over again “repeal-repeal-repeal”.

Oh, one other thing, it’s going to be a long, long time before Obama and the radical progressives will be able to talk about “activist judges” on the Supreme Court subverting the will of Congress and the American people.  Chief Justice John Roberts just saw to that.

No Domestic Drones;Drawing a Line in the Sand

Privacy is produced by exercising control of information about ourselves!  Jim Harper Cato Institute

 May 15, 2012 

Enough is enough! As a friend of mine is fond of saying, “I’ve had it Jack!”

Since 9/11 we’ve witnessed a series of new laws, the Patriot Act, NDAA, laws allowing warrantless surveillance, and presidential directives (Obama can order the killing of a U.S. citizen he considers a threat) all designed to strip Americans of their rights to privacy while giving the government the unabated authority to spy on us.

I stopped asking questions like, “where’s MSM on this story?” a long time ago. The answer is firmly in the Socialist hip pocket of Obama and his administration.

Besides this group has been too busy wasting our time with non-news stories covering every conceivable topic except the political decisions by our law makers & government that impart real impact on our lives. 

The FAA has authorized the use of aerial drones by law enforcement agencies , without any public discussion. The most basic question yet to be asked is where did the FAA authority come from? Certainly, not the Constitution! But never let it be said that will stop our Congress, a body that passes unconstitutional legislation all the time.

Anyone hear of H.R. 658? Thought not. The law signed by our poseur president, Obama, requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to “integrate drones into American airspace by 2015,”

 “Aerial drones are now used by the Texas Department of Public Safety; the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado; the Miami-Dade County, Florida, Police Department; and the Department of Homeland Security.

Rarely, do I agree with the ACLU, but they have been on point on this issue and the NDAA. This is one area where civil libertians, conservatives, moderates and yes even progressives can agree.

Drones are high-tech instruments of war that should be banned for use in the U.S. PERIOD! Not surprisingly, the NY Times calls the domestic drones “scary and useful!”

If the “war on terror” is over, as the Obama administration recently stated, pray tell just what is the necessity for upwards of 30,000 domestic drones by the year 2020?

Common Dreams’ progressive blog has just provided the FAA’s completed list of organizations “clamoring” for drones. Prepare yourself to be surprised by who believes they need domestic drones!


Is Obama Building a Case for War with Iran?

Leave a reply

An assessment by U.S. spy agencies concludes that Iran is prepared to launch terrorist attacks inside the United States, highlighting new risks as the Obama administration escalates pressure on Tehran to halt its alleged pursuit of an atomic bomb.  The Washington Post

 

We’ve been down this road before haven’t we, only last time it was Bush and Iraq playing cat and mouse. We said they had weapons of mass destruction, they said they didn’t; however they stopped inspectors from verifying what they were saying was the truth. As we all know, that was a big mistake.

A DISTINCTION WITH NO DIFFERENCE

ONE IN THE SAME

Now we have our fake President Obama (what Constitution?), the man that now can detain any American citizen without due process simply by stating the person is a terrorist, the man who has already ordered the killing of an American citizen abroad, is playing cat and mouse with Iran.


Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently made clear in an interview with CBS that the U.S. will not allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb; period.

Walter Russell outlined Team Obama’s position in Via Meadia.

If Washington must bomb Iranian facilities to stop them, Obama will bomb.

[...] Panetta said “the United States does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. That’s a red line for us. We will take whatever steps are necessary to stop them. A nuclear Iran is unacceptable”.

When US secretaries talk about “whatever steps are necessary” they are not usually talking about holding one more meeting of the sanctions committee.  They are thinking shock and awe and not cookies and tea.

Is it possible the Iranians are foolish enough to really go after the U.S. with an “all out war” or will that be the propaganda our obedient FOOS (Friends of Obama) in the MSM will be spewing in the upcoming months?  

Salon’s Glenn Greenwald thinks so. In fact, he says the some in the MSM appear to be banging the war drums with relish and in a manner that would have been anathema if Bush 43 was targeting Iran. 

Is war with Iran inevitable before November of 2012 and will another event like 9/11 be manufactured as justification? 

All of which leads to whether you can you believe your own eyes and believe our fake President?

The Cain Smear Campaign & the Elitist Cabal that Benefits

Leave a reply

Who Benefits if Herman Cain is Knocked Out?

George Carlin and the Illusion of Choice – Uber Cynical – You Don’t Need a Formal Conspiracy when Interests Converge!


There’s only one question to ask as we watch the latest assault on a political candidate that isn’t the choice of the Elitist Cabal.

Who has the most to gain if Herman Cain is knocked out?

If you said Perry, or Romney, or Obama you’d be right on all accounts. 

Right now GOP candidates and Team Obama find they are losing to a man who wasn’t counted on to be part of their plans for the 2012 election! Cain is mucking up the works (that means he’s leading in the polls) in the same manner that the Tea Party has and that can’t be allowed to continue, hence these anonymous sources are surfacing.

If you’re still naive enough to believe that there’s a difference between the Washington patricians in either party, I’ve got a bridge for you.

The idea is to make the “good fight” look real enough for those voters gullible enough to go another round during the next election. Ya, let’s have those Democratic and GOP candidates snarling at each other; it’s incredibly good theater, don’t ya know. (Make it good fellas!)

While we’re at who is clever and Machiavellian enough to pull this off. One name that immediately comes to mind is Karl Rove. Yes, you’re saying to yourself, but why would he hurt a genuine conservative candidate like Cain? Well for starters Team Rove didn’t choose Cain to be the GOP candidate to run against Obama.

If you don’t think that’s a big deal, I’ve got two names for you; Christine O’Donnell and Sharon Angle. If Rove and the GOP elitists were really interested in capturing the Senate in 2010 why did he destroy these two Tea Party women? BTW, Rove was no fan of Sarah Palin either.

You can thank Rove for allowing Harry Reid to continue his obstructionist policies as the Senate Majority Leader. (51 Democrats; 47 Republicans; 2 Independents)

Read on.

As Lame Cherry points out:

 Romney is smear central and had a hand in this. Rove has been slinking around setting this up and Obama’s fingers are banging all over this. Romney can’t at 25 points defeat Cain, so he has to root around finding dirt.

Rove can’t have Romney adding Cain to the ticket, as this is about Jeb Bush as I told you from day one in why all this was set up. Obama can’t beat Cain in the election, so he needs Romney AS THAT IS WHAT ROVE AND THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT PROMISED HIM.

 Who benefits?

 

Why Are the Feds Turning Off All TV & Radio Communications on November 9th?

Leave a reply

On November 9, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, televisions and radios across the nation will broadcast a series of beeps followed by the message, “This is a test.”   will mark the first time that the federal government conducts a nationwide, “top-to-bottom” test.

Why do the Feds need to test a COMPLETE communications blackout?

The Blaze opines that “only the President has the authority to activate EAS at the national level, and he has delegated that authority to the Director of FEMA.  The test will be conducted jointly by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through  FEMA, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS).

In essence, the authority to seize control of all television and civilian communication has been asserted by the executive branch and handed to a government agency.

The EAS has been around since 1994. Its precursor, the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), started back in 1963.  Television and radio broadcasters, satellite radio and satellite television providers,  cable television and wireline video providers are all involved in the system.”

Here are a few additional questions.

What if something goes wrong & we’re out of communications for days, weeks, hours?

What other damage can be done with all communications down?

Is this a precursor to an up and coming false flag event?

Just asking!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cain forgot to read his I’m black & I’m oppressed card

Leave a reply

Why do black liberals and “Progressives” fear and hate Herman Cain?

You tell me! MSNBC, CNN, the LSM are spending hours of programming time tearing Herman Cain down. Their loathing of this man is palpable. The only thing missing as they “report” on Cain is spittle as they say his name.

Guess Cain didn’t read his black card.
