Benghazi Attack House Hearing Redux: Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following the latest set of revelations on the Benghazi embassy attack, the House is back to doing what it does best: pontificating, pointing fingers, and talking, and making a TV spectacle of it all. As the Hill notes, "New revelations about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, are pulling Hillary Clinton back into a political firestorm that the presumptive 2016 candidate had so far managed to escape unscathed. House Republicans have unearthed new evidence suggesting the Obama administration could have done more to help the U.S. diplomats under attack last Sept. 11. State Department whistle-blowers testifying Wednesday before the House Oversight panel are also expected to say the then-secretary of State was personally involved in the decision to depict the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans as something other than terrorism." Sadly, Hillary will not be there to vehemently ask, rhetorically of course, of anyone interested in the failings in US foreign policy, "what difference does it make?"

Live webcast below.

Huge respect 2 U Sir Knight. The truth from your heart resonates wonderfully when it is is expressed so amazingly well like this. Big thanks to you and all the others here for speaking your truth to power like this. May this be more encouragement for others to follow suit. The keys to actions, come from awareness.

"...of all the things to leave office over, Watergate or Monica this is 3000 X worse......"

Yes it is, but in the land of the babylon, it's just another day at the offices of corruption, and blatant crime inc. The ultimate responsibility lies on the shoulders of the supposed elected servant puppet, soterobama. Perhaps he, along with his handler-masters planned this false flag event to cover up a more sinister part of this whole evil mishap? Was the head babylonian puppet well informed about this plan to make the little puppets al-cia-duh kidnap the ambassador? Maybe it was really mission accomplished by using the administrations own Muslim brotherhood/al-cia-duh/mercenaries to take out the ambassador because he knew of the weapons of mass destruction?

Prolly the same al-cia-duh that invaded Libya, Egypt, Syria killed the ambassador as ordered to do because there was a loose end to be taken care of so he could not talk about the illegal weapons of mass destruction that were being illegally smuggled into Syria for the next stage of the US sponsored al-cia-duh invasion of yet another innocent country? Are these same chemical weapons taken from Libya and Egypt the ones being used by the al-cia-duh mercenaries in Syria now, and being blamed on the Assad administration? Do they say, made in the USA on them?

Can we just stop all this criminal activity once and for all? Paying murderous criminal mercenary armies to invade other peoples countries with American taxpayers money is WRONG! Is there not any world body, or LAW ENFORCEMENT organization that is able to arrest and prosecute ALL the bankster created puppets that commit all this crime and mayhem for the profits of a few? Is it the end of the world when this kind of out-right blatant in your face criminality continues to go on like this? Is it fear that commands one's heart to live from a place of ignorance, or ignorance that commands the heart to live in a place of fear??

The ship of evil is rapidly sinking, the rats desperately grasping at each other to survive, or sink. As sure as the Law of Gravity is real, so is the Law of Cause and Effect. Evil will beget evil. The good and righteous that stand up now will also reap what rewards come to them that stands-up right in the Light for the True Rule of Law. These criminals MUST be prosecuted, and any lack of full prosecution will be the downfall of it all. Each has a choice to make, and each choice is integral. As the old Knight said, choose well.

Remember Egypt?  It's a good thing they have strict gun laws in a country that is in open revolt.

 

Egypt Investment Collapsing as Citizens Turn Into Vigilantes

"In a dimly lit Cairo workshop, Hussein spins a metal pipe on a lathe, sending sparks flying. In a few minutes, it’ll become the barrel of a gun. Sometime after that it will join the growing arsenal of illegal weapons on the streets of Egypt.

Artisans who make machine parts by day are turning into bootleg gunmakers at night, says Hussein, 54, who asked not to be identified by his full name for fear of prosecution. He only sells to a middleman because “trust the wrong person and you’re going to jail.” He can make as much as 3,000 pounds ($435) per gun -- about 20 percent of what a legally licensed one costs.

“Fear is big business nowadays,” Hussein said. “People buy the guns because they’re afraid. People buy the guns because they want to scare others. We’re in a jungle now.”"

Absolutely nothing will change from Benghazi.  

There's no way they will enact legislation to reduce their own power.

There's no law that could be applied against individual liberty.

It's a wash to these guys.  

I'm watching Hicks and Cummings going back and forth right now and Cummings must have been coached by George Lucas because he is trying to use Jedi mind tricks to convince Hicks that what he saw and heard he did not see or hear.

The question really comes down to who made the decision to pull the Special Forces guys off the C-130 flight to Benghazi that night? The call came from SpecOps HQ in Africa but "WHO" actually made the decision? If it was Hillary, she should swing for it. Whoever made the decision should face the consequences as 4 men probably died because of it.

It makes a big fucking difference to me.

If these fuckers knew, and deliberately allowed 4 of their own countrymen to die, for whatever reason, especially politics then they deserve no less than what they themselves allowed.  You fucking hatefull bitch, if you allowed four good men to die for a cause you promote, and you quite obviously think you are above the grunts, then you deserve the same you fucking pathetic piece of fucking human floatsum.

I only hope someone over there will give you the justice you need you fucking waste of fucking skin.

God I hate these bastards with a passion.  These cunts need taking out for the good of humanity, they view us folk as nothing more than shit on the sole of their shoes.  Its time we gave these bastards a bit of the same, they view us nothing, we should view these swines in the same vane, they dont deserve another day of peace, they deserve wiping out, before they wipe us stupid fuckers out.

Once again I am boiling with rage at what we allow in our collective names.  And shit like this is meant to represent the man on the street?  Fuck this, this 'Thing' represents nothing about people like me, it only looks human, as nothing human could willingly condone anything like this for material gain.

Hillary Clinton Shouts 'What Difference Does It Make?'
Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/video/2013/01/hillary_clinton_shouts_what...
.
the difference it makes is that the secretary of state is well aware
that the cia and related intelligence agencies routinely engage in
terrorism and using and supplying known killers and agents of terror
for political and other purposes. in this case her employees were
murdered due to her carelessness and lack of involvement and concern
for their security, or perhaps even worse. so she is right, it makes
no difference why they died or how. everyone knows by now there is
no honor or truth left in the system, those illusions only have meaning
on the other side of the Ponzi cycle, the growth side. here on this side
everything is expected to deflate and go away quietly;
the cruel farce phase is so ugly with these clowns who have made
careers out of skirting and avoiding the truth, elevated lying to a
high art. then thinking or telling themselves they are doing the
right thing, the only practical good possible. "...little faith."
no faith !

Who supplied what weapons?  WE supply the weapons because Al-Qaeda is US!

All of this nonsense on the news Bread and Circuses, every last one of these fictions.

There was no consulate in Benghazi.  At his end, Stevens was probaby hiding in a CIA or other country's safe house and because everything CIA is classified, they came up with the lie that it was a consulate.

Hillary Clinton or her boss could have easily declassified the story unless other country's classified assets were involved.

Everybody knows CIA is embedded with State Dept.  What's not so well known is the exact nature of their cooperation with the spies of other countries.

Simplest explanation for the inability to tell the story of what happened is that it would reveal a secret alliance with one or more foreign powers, such as the CIA's own Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, etc. etc.

Telepromter to Obama:  Blame Bush.   "Benghazi is all Geroge Bush's fault."

"But Mr. President, former President Bush was not involved in decisions surrounding the Benghazi attack." commented one reporter. 

"What do you mean he wasn't involved?" replied an angry Obama.   " He...he....knew Christopher Stevens and Bush failed to warn him of the potential danger in that region."

"But Mr. President, Christopher Stevens did not know President Bush"  replied the reporter.

"He certainly did ...he bought a hot dog and pop at a Texas Rangers baseball game when Bush was the owenr of that ball team" replied the President confidently.  "Any other questions?  Hearing none, I believe this matter is now closed."

No. Bush and his cronies did manage to delude themselves about the presense of WMDs Iraq and thousands of Americans died there.

Or did you somehow manage to forget that? If we are going after government officials whose incompetence killed Americans, I think we should start with the greater of evils. No?

Hillary Clinton can't be president. She has blood clots in her brain and is at serious risk of a major stroke for the rest of her life. If she isn't fit to testify when called, she's too incapacitated to hold any office, especially one responsible for the lives of others. It is irresponsible of her to not retire when she became aware of this grave health condition.

Thanks, TNTARG for this youtube video.  I haven't seen it before.

I wonder how many zeroheads have seen this video.

All the financial and economic frauds and ponzi schemes constantly and daily highlighted here on zerohedge, ad nauseam it almost seems, really have no underlying meaning or supporting context until one truly understands the source and cause of these financial and economic "diseases."

Hey Tylers, why don't you guys highlight and post a short writeup with this video for the zerohedge audience during some slow weekend? Who knows, maybe it just might help educate a few "blockheads" who constantly post their stupid and uninformed comments here in this great blog.

re: "the Benghazi embassy attack"

 

We can't even get past this lie...there was no US embassy or consulate in Benghazi. The US Embassy in Libya is now and was at the time of this incident in Tripoli.

 

Benghazi has been described as a U.S. consulate, but it was not. It was an information office that had no diplomatic status. There was a small staff of actual State Department information officers plus local translators. The much larger CIA base was located in a separate building a mile away. ~ Philip Giraldi

“People in Benghazi had been fighting all night. They were tired. They were exhausted. We wanted to make sure the airport was secure for their withdrawal. As he and his three personnel were getting in the cars, he stopped, they called them off. He said that he had not been authorized to go.

Lt. Col Gibson was furious. I had told him to bring our people home. That is what he wanted to do.”-Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission for the U.S. in Libya.

Motherfuckers.

And Sigonella Air base is 480 miles away. The very same base used to provide an "air force" to Libyan rebels overthrowing Gaddafi.

What the hearings showed so far is that Hillary wanted to shut the 2nd in charge up and there was a lot of watergate like orchestration going on. the requests for security earlier on were ignored, the Ambassador was essentialy a sitting duck, the plan was to expand our presence in benghazi and the al queda related forces stopped it. Also of interest was that two ex navy seals and two contractors were able to go and fight off at least 60 insurgents, rescue about 30 people and get them to safety, the DOD told 4 other specops in Tripoli to stand down... AND WHOEVER GAVE THAT ORDER HAS A LOT OF SPLAININ TO DO.... and it probably leads right up to the WHITE HOUSE... take a look at the clowns involved: Dempsey, Clapper,Hillary the ARB, the congressmen... all political scumbags ...versus the dedicated people who take it all seriously and do an outstanding job, dedicate their lives to this country and get used as political cannon foder. We need to know the TRUTH and not more political bullshit. If the truth stops with obama or hillary ... so be it. but SOMEONE HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THIS TIME... AND FROM NOW ON. That is the point. America was deliberately lied to by the white house for political expediencey. What else are they telling us that is a lie? We need to establish accountability by public servants at all levels  and re-establish trust in government because right now it doesn't exist.
