Oh yeah…. and just for sheer tentacle insanity watch for General John Allen to now get pulled into the mix…..  fyi.

As best we can understand the evolving narrative here is what it looks like:

Jill and Dr. Scott Kelley live in the Tampa / St. Pete area.  They are active in the military community with support for military families.   The Kelley’s do numerous fundraisers etc. and when Petraeus was assigned to station in Tampa the Kelley’s hosted a meet-n-greet with Holly and David Petraeus.  Mr and Mrs. Petraeus became friends with Mr. and Mrs. Kelley.

So Jill Kelley, a Petraeus family friend, began receiving odd and harrassing e-mails about her relationship with CIA director General David Petraeus:

“More like, ‘Who do you think you are? … You parade around the base … You need to take it down a notch,’” according to the source, who was until recently at the highest levels of the intelligence community and prefers not to be identified by name.

Kelley then reaches out to a family friend who is by profession in the FBI.   She asks if these unsourced e-mails reach the level of cyber-stalking. (more…)

Remember the White House – GOAL: Move current opinion of Gen Petraeus. Think of advancing their objectives like advancing a football in the game toward the Goal line:

√20 yard line – Petraeus is a solid patriot ===> √   …. Fri…. then
√30 yard line – Petraeus is fallible/human ====> √ …. Sat/Sun… then
√40 yard line – Petraeus lost his capacity for judgement ====> Mon… (current position)
50 yard line – Petraeus is/was distracted ===> then
40 yard line – Petraeus is unstable ===> then
30 yard line – Petraeus is compromised ===> then
20 yard line – Petraeus is not-credible ===> then
10 yard line – Petraeus is out for revenge. ====> then
Touchdown – Petraeus is a liar.

Each Administration player, including “special teams” will have a specific goal in advancing the narrative of protection for the Administration.   Remember: “How to win the game”? Isolate => Ridicule => Marginalize.

It is how they roll. Always.

So today we are on the 30 yard line 3rd play ….. PRESTO – At the same time the media is being told that Gen Petraeus  the FBI agent sent partially nude pictures of himself to Jill Kelley (take ball to 40),…. there is an FBI investigative team going through Mrs. Broadwell’s personal belongings at her residence.   (Via Twitter)

Today – Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Al-Quds Brigades released this video of them firing 107mm rockets at Israeli civilians.

Last year we tried to send a little refuge warning beacon to anyone who would pay attention. Our warning was to underscore why OUR national leadership on both sides of the aisle was failing us. Few paid attention. Today we are facing the consequences from those short-sighted decisions. Here is the concern we shared in Sept. of 2011:

[September 7th 2011] For several months my fears about the collapse of the Libyan regime have been heightened with the thought of all the Libyan arms being dispatched to all of our enemies throughout the middle east.

Six months ago [March 2011] the first reports of Missiles, WMD (mustard gas), and SAM’s being sold and traded to hostile forces of the West were confirmed. There is no substantive reason to believe these missiles will not leave the Middle East and be used against the West. Indeed, if a prudent consideration is applied exactly the opposite should be anticipated. (more…)

Did you read media reports about a 2nd Petraeus woman named Jill Kelley? And the original woman, Paula Broadwell, being “concerned” about Kelley and sending harassing e-mails?

Did you read an AP report about Jill Kelley working for the State Dept. as a liason?  Washington Post…….  (Or)   New York Times…….  Odd how two very leftist publications would report the same nonsense.

[…]  A senior U.S. military official identified the second woman as Jill Kelley, 37, who lives in Tampa, Fla., and serves as an unpaid social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, where the military’s Central Command and Special Operations Command are located.  (AP – ARTICLE)

FUBAR – It’s all BS.

No Paula, something tells me no one except you had actually heard this…..

ISRAEL NEWS – Military expert Paula Broadwell, who was allegedly improperly involved with resigned CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, confirmed in October that the CIA annex in Benghazi asked for reinforcements when the consulate came under attack on September 11. She also acknowledged that “there was a failure in the system.”

Broadwell was speaking at her alma mater, the University of Denver, on October 26. Her lecture, which is on YouTube under the title “Alumni Symposium 2012 Paula Broadwell,” now has added value, because based on the recent disclosures, it can now be assumed that she indeed knew exactly what it was that Petraeus knew about the attack. (more…)

(The Hill)  The FBI reportedly happened upon former CIA Director David Petraeus’s extramarital affair while investigating a complaint from a woman close to Petraeus who had received harassing emails from the general’s alleged mistress.

The FBI traced those emails back to Paula Broadwell, a former military officer and Petraeus’s biographer, according to news reports. When law enforcement officials delved into her email account, it was apparent Broadwell and Petraeus were engaged in an affair.

The identity of the woman who filed the original complaint has not been disclosed. (more…)

Guess who the news outlet is with this REPORT, published just in time to head off the Sunday talks… Wait for it,….. yep,…..

CAN THEY BE ANY MORE TRANSPARENT – Seriously?

Inside the *cough* REPORT:

The Obama administration first learned of the affair in a phone call from the FBI to Director of National Security James Clapper at 5 p.m. on election night, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official.

HatTip LMG – (CNN) Official: Woman complained of harassing e-mails from Petraeus’ biographer – The affair that brought an end to David Petraeus’ tenure as CIA director came to light during an FBI investigation into a complaint that his biographer Paula Broadwell was sending harassing e-mails to another woman close to him, a U.S. official said Saturday.

Sorry it’s quiet…..  I’m digging through thousands of pages of prior research, trying to find the most digestible way to pull it all together in advance of the upcoming hearings surrounding The Benghazi Massacre.  Not an easy task.   All the info is there, but the volume is such that sorting the “most important” bits is still a massive pile.

Here is some preliminary, and necessary reading if you want to join the Understanding.   Review these in the order presented here (make sure to watch videos too): (more…)

I’m long on effort – short on sleep, but I want to get this posted asap.  Thanks to Puddy and Rumpole for downloading/finding the vids.

I could go into a long summation of the video narrative in these segments and what it all means.  However, in the interest of time I’m asking you to bear with me til I can connect the dots more clearly.   For the sake of brevity watch these videos with the following in mind:

• CNN has been proven to be willingly compromised by relationships with White House and Administration operatives. (more…)
