I’ll quickly look for links to this breaking story but Fox News Coorespondant Jennifer Griffin is now reporting:   “on the ground annex sources are telling her directly” when SEAL’s Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed orders to “stand down” they instead “walked” while under fire to the Consulate compound from the CIA Annex.

They walked there, approximately a half mile, retrieved the consulate employees, and walked them back to the Annex.   Woods and Doherty were not in an armored SUV as previously reported.   They were on Foot and they were taking fire while doing so. (more…)

(From Douglass J Hagman @CFP) According to the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed during a spontaneous protest at the consulate office in Benghazi by a frenzied crowd of Muslims outraged over an obscure internet video. Recently released “sensitive but not classified e-mails” from Stevens to the U.S. Department of State painted a picture of poor security for U.S. personnel and the embassy, which was obviously true but had little to do with the events of September 11, 2012.

The failure to dispatch an extraction team or otherwise rescue the men during a firefight that lasted upwards of nine grueling and tortuous hours was not the result of any intelligence failure, but caused by our unwillingness to widen the conflict and expose the nature and scale of our true mission in Benghazi.

But the Dear Leader loving U.S. Media is furiously working to beat back the fire…

Dionysius (II) was a fourth century B.C. tyrant of Syracuse, a city in Magna Graecia, the Greek area of southern Italy.

To all appearances Dionysius was very rich and comfortable, with all the luxuries money could buy, tasteful clothing and jewelry, and delectable food.

He even had court flatterers (adsentatores) to inflate his ego.

One of these ingratiators was the court sycophant, Damocles. Damocles used to make comments to the king about his wealth and luxurious life. (more…)

The father of murdered SEAL Tyrone Woods talks to Judge Jeanine Pirro about the Benghazi attack, his son’s role and the events following his son’s murder – Including the coverup.

I doubt, allow me to repeat and emphasize, “doubt“, these reports are accurate.    Why?   Because Congressman Jason Chaffetz is on record stating that in his visit to Libya he travelled with General Ham.   When Chaffetz asked Ham about whether he had a ready reaction force, according to Chaffetz – Ham told him “yes, however, we never got a request to assist in Benghazi”.

So why would there now be reports of Africom Command General Ham being replaced because of his non-compliance?   He said he never got the request for help, or call to mobilize?   He is not going to lie to the House Intelligence Committee   – No motive, Period.

Jim Hoft at GWP shares this story:   The latest rumor making the rounds is that Barack Obama replaced General Carter Ham at Africom after the general made a move to help the US security officials at the Benghazi consulate and annex.  Ham was replaced by Gen. David Rodriquez on October 18. Tiger Droppings reported: (more…)

Knowing what you know now about:

• The origin of the Muhammed Movie Cover Story
• The official State Dept. Version of events
• The purpose of the Benghazi Consulate and CIA ANNEX
• The CIA Refusing to protect the Ambassador and Security
• The CIA Denying “They” Made the call not to protect the Ambassador and Security
• David Axelrod refusing to say whether Obama met with National Security Team 9/12

Now watch Obama answer questions:

Is he lying?   You decide.

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.

It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need? (read more)

…. yes, actually, yes, they did.   Today’s leaks just took this to an entirely new level.  A level that most are not going to grasp right away.  But they will.   They will.

You see, when you read a report of the CIA operative on the ground, holding a GLD, saying “the enemy is lit” it can only mean one thing. From the CIA leak to Fox:

[…]  According to sources on the ground during the attack, the special operator on the roof of the CIA annex had visual contact and a laser pointing at the Libyan mortar team that was targeting the CIA annex. The operators were calling in coordinates of where the Libyan forces were firing from.

You don’t activate a GLD and light a target without the weaponized hot asset already being overhead ready to fire.   As a Black Five Delta Operator outlines: (more…)

Folks, now that this report is coming out, I’m going to let you in on a secret…  “It’s Worse – Much Worse”.    We have direct and reliable information that not only were the CIA operatives in the Annex told to “stand down” when they wanted to assist the consulate (which is semi-explainable given the nature of the compound objective they were guarding), but the Quick Reaction Force [Delta Force] was directed to secure the assets at the Annex and NOT the consulate.   Why?   Because the “content” and “asset risk” within the Annex was considered to be more *valuable* than the assets at the consulate.

The consulate “assets” were people.

TREASONOUS BASTARDS – Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an  urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the  U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was  denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to  “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at  approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA  annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and  his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they  informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and  requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to  “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they  were again told to “stand down.” (more…)

Understanding the Origin of The Muhammed Movie Narrative and How it was used…

On September 11th 2011 a protest took place outside the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt.   The protest was organized by Mohammed Al Zawahiri (brother of al-Qaeda’s top leader Ayman Al Zawahiri – Afghanistan) calling for the release of Omar Abdel-Rahman (The Blind Sheik) from prison in Gitmo.

This was not unexpected, not at all.   Actually as far back as May 2011 we first outlined the Egyptian demand for his release:

CAIRO (Reuters 4/12/2011) – Hundreds of supporters of a radical Muslim Egyptian cleric called on the United States to release him in a rare public demonstration by Islamists who have become more vocal since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted.

About 400 protesters, most of whom said they belonged to the militant al-Gama’a al-Islamiya group, gathered near the heavily fortified U.S. embassy in downtown Cairo to demand freedom for their spiritual leader Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.  (article)  *Note this is 2011

(ViaIPT)  [May 2011] The Egyptian government reportedly has asked the United States to release the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, and send him back to Egypt, according to the Open Source Center, a government clearinghouse of publicly available foreign intelligence.  Abdel-Rahman is the former spiritual leader of the Egyptian terrorist organization, Gama’a al-Islamiyya. He is considered the spiritual inspiration behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and is serving a life sentence in connection with a subsequent plot to bomb New York landmarks and tunnels.
