| This is part one of a multi-part interview with a government insider intimately familiar with the events that took place in Benghazi. In this part, he provides important background, and explains this administration is engaged in a massive cover-up. DH: It’s been a while since we’ve discussed Benghazi. What have you heard lately? II: Before I answer that, I want to get a few things off my chest. Every politician, whether it’s a congressman senator, diplomat, or their spokespeople and the media are lying to the American public every time they call the location of the attack a consulate. It was not.

OK, so arms to Syrian rebels is the key? If so, what the hell was the ambassador doing in the middle of this "non-consulate" setting? Why was he so exposed?
I agree with the "informant" that we are under attack in many ways, whether terrorist or financial terrorism and the attack on our currency. No one can doubt our vulnerability. If our currency is tied to oil, we need to develop our domestic resources so that they are ready when the cut off occurs. Like the 30´s, we have a progressive politician that is in it for the power. Despite the warning clouds, Roosevelt and Obama were/are doubling down to weaken us and make us vulnerable to attack.
Question is: Do we have the resources and the will to combat it?

FWIW I have been following Hagmann at his website "Northeast Intelligence Network" for years. He tends to be a paranoid, alarmist, conspiracy type. Frequently, though, he is way out in front with the real story.

Thanks poster. Very well-written story and I believe we are finally getting the truth about what happened in Benghazi. It all fits in with Obama and Hillary´s strange behavior trying to cover up what happened with some ridiculous story about a video no one had ever seen. Benghazi was never a "Consulate", it was a big CIA operation headquarters. Our suspicions were correct, "Ambassador" Stevens was indeed basically a gun runner for funneling Libya´s arms to terrorists. It makes Fast and Furious look like Sunday School stuff. It may even explain why Obama worked to topple Ghadafi in the first place. Some kind of grand scheme to destabilize Syria through arming terrorist rebels. Didn´t we learn anything from what happened in Afghanistan? We armed terrorists there to fight the Soviet Union, only to have that scheme come back to bite us with Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban. No wonder Putin and Russia hate the U.S. and want to hurt us back. They are far more clever about it, though. We seem to be a bunch of Amateur players over there in the Middle East.

Twice voted in as president of the US, twice caught running guns to very bad people and twice caught covering up the truth. Hillary took full responsibility for the event and has not been seen in the country since. Any old white guys in the loop have been thrown out on their ears for sex escapades. Congress has been sidelined and marginalized by it´s reluctance to do it´s job. The judicial branch is neutered completely.
The great cry of rebellion from the majority of Americans is..."give me free stuff"? The war cry of the Republican party is, "Don´t worry, everything is fine. We are going to give a lot of free stuff to illegal immigrants and we will win in 2016.".
I shudder to think of what individual rights will exist in four years now that presidential executive decree is the only law of the land.

As most former military guys immediately knew the Administration´s story was phoney.
As we asked back on 9/15 - where are the "survivors"?
How come no media at all has brought them in front of the cameras?
If it was all a CIA black op, it makes a lot of sense.
Bottom line still is, Obama let an Ambassador die on his watch, while watching real time.
Shame, shame.

I´ve written many times in other venues and here a few times about the plunging dollar. DH says the attack has yet to be successful. He is right only on the surface. Since hussein got into office the dollar has lost 30% by some estimates. And yes, all oil is traded in $US. The attempt to replace the dollar with the Euro and the Yuan have not been completely effective, but they have made a huge dent in their attempts to destroy the $US.
Europe,since the revolution and before has been after control of the world´s currency. Now China has even made innuendos that they might dump dollars or refuse to accept them for trade. As yet, they depend on our bucks to stay alive.
You bet, our economy is tied directly to oil. The cost of gas is directly tied to the value of the dollar, not availability. That is our biggest threat on the global scene. Bill Clinton once said it wasn´t fair the WE were the only super power. hussein is the mechanism to make that happen and he´s doing it partially by keeping us dependent on foreign oil which has been a primary tool to devalue the $US.
Our US Supreme Court is the next target because when hussein gets done with it, it will not support our core values of free enterprise. We have seen just the rim of the well into which our economy is about to plunge when the dollar collapses.

Make the connection all the way back to the Khalid Al Mansour link to Obama´s education -- paid for by the Saudis.
Next think about all of the obstacles the president has thrown in the way of our energy independence.
Was he bought and paid for a long time ago?

So Benghazi > Iran-Contra
With Iran-Contra, we only negotiated/dealt with the terrorists in Iran in order to fund/ship arms to the Contras.
With Benghazi, we are funding/supplying arms directly to the terrorists.

Geez!
If this is all true, it not only explains Rice´s lies, but it validates so many suspicions by Americans that something big is going on beneath the radar and that the media are being lied to, also.
The Obama administration is playing the role of Saudi Arabia’s private army. I think if Americans knew this, they would be outraged. Our service men and women are being sold out as mercenaries for the wants and desires of the Royal family, for the Saudi’s interests. It’s about religious dominance and oil.
The various scenarios of total deliberate collapse of the US to foreign blackmail by oil, and of Muslim takeover of the world become more reasonable to assume.

This makes the "stand down" order the equivalent of providing a suicide capsule for a spy to use in enemy territory. The problem became the brave Americans who were not in the CIA need to know loop and disobeyed orders.

World events have become so twisted and convoluted to the point that I no longer know what to believe. I do know, however, that MY country is heading down a steep, slippery slope with no way to stop it. Or a least in today´s political atmosphere. I don´t know if I should believe all of this article, some of it, or none of it. I don´t trust Obozo and his clowns any further that I can throw the Capital building.
My only choice of action is to buy and store more ammo. I feel that sooner rather than later it will be needed.

So simple. Because neither Dems nor Reps will allow us to dig for oil and refine it here in the USA any more, we are forced to get involved in nasty games with Russia and the Mid-East. And nothing is going to change until we have men such as Michael Reagan running the country instead of these insipid, greedy Republicans and marxist democrats.

Khalid al Mansour owns Obama lock stock and barrel. He was responsible for getting Obama his politically necessary Harvard Law admission, and paid the bills.
Obama is overtly choking America´s oil production and devaluing the dollar. He has overtly, although inadvertently, promised to help the Soviets implement their agenda.
The administrations´s frantic, risible cover-up of the benghazi operation is proof positive of mischief that mustn´t be made public, and whatever that mischief might be, the fact that it was occurring in a swamp of terrorism and a flood of heavy weaponry, means it wasn´t a trivial endeavor.
It is nothing short of astounding that Congress isn´t all over this bizarre Presidency and its baldly treasonous foreign affairs, domestic economic piracy, and public deceit.
Is free stuff worth this?

This tale sounds a little too conspiratorial.
At some level I hope our "leaders" are capable of this type of strategic thought. But I suspect all they really know are fund raising and elections. Maybe I´m naive. I think TelePrompTer is stupid outside of those two topics. Of course, who knows who is directing his stupidity.

Why an ambassador? Why did they send in an ambassador to clean up the arms that had been sent to the Libyan rebels? Surely such a task could be handled by the CIA operatives. Was the ambassador a trade? E.g. the terrorists capture the ambassador, demand he be traded for the blind sheik or other terrorists. Instead, either by accident or on purpose he got killed and the whole scheme blew up? There are a lot of layers to his onion.

So, assuming what the media knows Congress also knows, one wonders what the Dog and Pony Show of the Congressional Hearings is supposed to achieve.

At least half the stuff in this article is true.
0bama IS giving advanced small weapons to his Muslim Brotherhood friends. The Syrian ´Rebels´ were bragging about a big supply of Stinger missile systems and other goodies.
Stevens, a islamophile was there brokering the transfer. And for something else... islamo isn´t the only ´phile´ problem he had.

I can not believe some of the posters here. You actually say that you have faith in your leaders here in America? Have you lost your mind? I quit trusting my leaders while lying on a hill on the Laotian border in Vietnam in 1969, near death. And by the way, Chris Stevens was a CIA agent in ambassador clothing. If the ex seals (who were CIA agents) were involved in this rogue administration´s weapons running to kill 40,000 innocent civilians....I have no remorse for them either. We have a rogue President and administration, it is time for the officer corps to speak up....or they should be imprisoned some day as well. I think there is also a connection with the gun running to the Mexican cartel. Lot of weapons running going on around here.

It is very possible Obama is doing the bidding of Saudi Arabia. Two reasons: 1. The Saudis financed the education of some American blacks looking ahead to the time when they could be useful in our government. I´ll bet Obama was one of them. 2. We have all forgotten the deep bow Obama gave the king of Saudi Arabia. What seemed like a religious gesture may well have been an acknowledgment of Obama´s obedience to the authority of the king.

#34 thanks for the link to part II of the article. Very chilling, but the fact we are able to read these articles shows that Obama and his goons were not able to hide everything from the American people. In fact Obama may not care that some of us do know what really happened and why. After all, we are a very small minority and 99.9% of American citizens will go along blissfully ignorant and won´t care, as long as they get thier free Obamaphones and checks from the government. But we should remember how close we are to World War III. This is a very "hot" cold war and it could degrade into a shooting war very quickly, with the American people the losers in all this. Think of $20/gallon gas in the near future.

Our ambassador to Libya was fluent in Arabic and knew a lot of people on all sides around the Mid-East.
When dealing with Arabs (even in lowly garbage barge fee negotiations, (my vast experience)) it is very advantageous to have someone, at least as translator, that is on your side. I would imagine you would definitely need talent on your side to engage in successful arms distribution.

We should all be grateful for the Canada Free Press which seems to have an infinitely better handle on the truth than all the obfsucating party line mouthpieces dissembling daily before our eyes and ears. Posters who relate Obama´s education with Saudi money via Khalid Mansour and Percy Sutton did their homework long ago, some of us before he got elected the first time. So the comedy in Washington DC continues each trying to out lie and out cover the other -crooks all of them . We have a vile collection supposedly doing the nation´s work. It is past time to boot them out and end this disastrous two party system.Stevens hjands were not exactly clean, the heroes remain the dead four.

Jerusalem - Israel´s air force chief says his troops need to be ready to act quickly in case of an attack from Syria. The remarks by Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel Wednesday echo statements by Israel´s military chief of staff a day earlier. Eshel warned escalation could lead to a "surprise war." He said Russian S-300 air defense systems are "on their way" to Syria, though Israel asked Russia not to supply them. Israel is concerned the Syrian civil war could spill across its border. Syrian and Israeli forces briefly exchanged fire on the Golan Heights border Tuesday. Israel has warned it will not tolerate fire from Syria

As the impasse over Tehran’s nuclear program worsens, those most likely to be directly affected by an Iranian bomb are showing greater alarm. While the media fixates on Israel and its possible reaction, other regional players have no less at stake. Despite Riyadh’s long-held advocacy of making the Middle East a zone free of weapons of mass destruction, there has been much speculation in the past few years about the possibility of its acquiring, or developing, nuclear weapons should Tehran obtain the bomb. In the words of Saudi King Abdullah: “If Iran developed nuclear weapons (...) everyone in the

Mohammad Heidari, accused of passing security-related in formation and secrets to Israeli Mossad agents in exchange for money, and Kourosh Ahmadi, accused of gathering information for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, were hanged at dawn, it said. The sentence for their execution was handed down by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court and confirmed by the country’s Supreme Court.

The Vatican has denied claims that Pope Francis performed an exorcism, after TV images showed a man apparently reacting to him putting his hands on his head. The encounter - during Sunday Mass - was shown on a TV channel owned by the Italian bishops´ conference. The station quoted exorcists as saying there was "no doubt" the Pope had either performed an exorcism or a prayer to free the man from the devil. Its director later apologised for "having altered the truth". The Pope´s spokesman said he "did not intend to perform any exorcism".

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.
