The Benghazi Brief is easily the most painstaking undertaking I ever endeavored to research, accept and eventually write.  It was not a comfortable assembly.

The Brief was written almost two years ago:

• It was written well before Mike Rogers and Charles Ruppersberger produced their self-serving, pre-retirement, diversionary distraction/report.
• It was written before the House Select Committee on Benghazi was even created, let alone produced their final report.
• The brief was written before the Fox report “13 hours in Benghazi” was presented by Brett Baier.
• It was written long before the Hollywood movie around the night of the Benghazi attack, “13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” was produced…

…. and not a single aspect to those, or any subsequent revelation, has ever compromised or run counter to the information contained with the Brief.

To the contrary, every report, every leak, every WikiLeak detail, every statement, every interview, every FIOA discovery and every factual detail pried from the clutches of the political establishment has done nothing except to validate the construct of the original research outline.

So why does that matter?

In February of 2016 the U.S. State Department released more of Hillary Clinton’s emails. One of those emails originated on March 22nd 2011, the exact day President Obama launched the attacks on Libya.

The released email confirms what many already knew – it was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power who convinced President Obama to go to war in Libya:

“Turning POTUS around on this is a major win for everything we worked for”..

Details still sketchy – A breaking report from the Toronto Canada area after a suspected ISIS suicide bombing was thwarted only hours from detonation planned for tomorrow during rush hour.

CANADA – Aaron Driver, 23, was killed when police raided his home in the Canadian community of Strathroy, about 84 miles (135 km) northeast of Detroit in the United States or about 122 miles (197 km) southwest of Toronto. It was not immediately known how he was killed.

[…]  The RCMP declined to provide further information, but CTV News cited an internal government memo as saying that Driver was allegedly planning to carry out a suicide bombing in a public area of a major Canadian city, possibly during rush hour on Wednesday to cause mass casualties.  (read full article)

Two jihadists wielding knives entered a church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, Normandy, during mass.  Two nuns and two parishioners were taken hostage, one nun is seriously injured.  The 84-year-old priest, Father Jacques Hamel (pictured left), was forced to kneel down and his throat was slashed while one of the Islamists’ filmed the murder.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack and saying the butchery was carried out by two Islamic State soldiers. The two jihadists were known terror threats and wore ankle monitors, they were later shot by French police. An additional person has been detained as part of investigation.

French President Francois Hollande says he very angry now, and pledges to fight ISIS “using all means possible”.  With the ISIS attacks continuing inside France, Mr. Hollande has not ruled out the need for a sternly worded letter. (more…)

Attack began 5:15pm Local  ♦ At least one gunman has opened fire on citizens in Munich Germany. ♦ There are multiple locations involved. ♦ Multiple deaths and wounded victims.  ♦ Islamic Terrorism is suspected. ♦ At least nine people killed ♦ Gunman shouting Allahu Akbar.  ♦ One gunman specifically targeted children at McDonalds.

A video has surfaced showing one of the gunman on a cell phone moments before opening fire on citizens outside a McDonalds restaurant.  WATCH:

In the video above it appears the gunman (dressed in black) is using his right hand to hold a cell phone to his left ear just before he opens fire with a handgun in his left hand.

We found a man, who killed him himself.
We assume, that he was the only shooter. #gunfire #munich

When Donald Trump proposed a simple border wall and tighter immigration enforcement, a gobsmacked “conservative” electorate were stunned to see the entire political universe of people, who most thought would align with such basic tenets, flip 180° and begin stating: “walls don’t work”, “we need open borders”, and “deportations are unfair”….

In July 2015 it was weird to see the “conservative” pundits and professional class expose their true intents so quickly.

Many couldn’t fathom what they were witnessing.  We called this the “Trump Effect”.

In essence Trump exposes the hypocritical nature of the deceivers simply by affirming an intent to give them what they’ve advocated for.  In doing so Trump puts sunlight on their hidden ideology, and forces them out of the shadows.

Remarkably, Trump is doing it again with comments about NATO, Turkey, the EU and a reconsideration of the U.S. role in Europe.

It’s simply an incredible thing to witness.

If we follow the current Democrat arguments to their logical conclusion, we now see liberals shifted to demanding a war against Russia, because Turkey via Erdogan has gone full Islamist and is also a NATO “ally”.

Some opinion writers have surmised a possibility that Recep Erdogan created the coup in Turkey as a method to smoke out his opposition and exert even more dictatorial power.  Having watched the events closely (5 years) which lead up to the coup attempt, we disagree.
All indications are the coup was genuine, albeit a long-shot, driven by the younger military leadership who remained guardians of the state after two years of Erdogan purging the top level generals.

Ideologically, Recep Erdogan has been working earnestly over the past 5+ years to extend his power and control.  Erdogan has grandiose plans of rebuilding a modern Ottoman Empire with himself as the figurehead in control.
The fortuitous crisis in Syria evolved into a tool for Erdogan to expand his constituency, and the influx of 3 million non-secular conservative Muslims as refugees into Turkey was part of that dynamic.
Erdogan’s ideological outlook can be captured when you look at the 2015 decision to give safe refuge to five Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leaders who were living in exile in Qatar and evicted after the Gulf States pressured Qatar to stop supporting extremist terrorists.  Erdogan promised the Muslim Brotherhood safe harbor in Turkey and he gave it to them.
