I knew it would eventually surface.    Secretary of State for Africa, J Carson, is outlining how under the Obama administration foreign policy is a method of advocating for “Social Justice” as a solution to ideologically driven opposition.   In most recent events the Boko Haram Jihadists.

*NOTE*  In this current example Boko Haram is the terror enemy.   Boko Haram have said their behavior is driven by their Islamic faith – and demand for strict adherence to Sharia Law, the underpinning of Islam.   For Boko Haram this is a holy war.   Remember this as you go forward. 

The exact same U.S. “social justice” approach via foreign policy, which is now openly displayed toward Nigeria (Boko Haram), was engaged two years ago in Uganda toward the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) and terrorist Joseph Kony.   Remember #KonySurrender.

What’s the larger picture ?

Step back and you can see how totally weak and disconnected this Obama Doctrine is.

This administration -and yes that includes both former and current secretary of States’ Hillary Clinton and John Kerry- view foreign policy through the prism of “social justice” definitions.

How so ?   Think back to early 2013 and Sec. John Kerry talking about the issues in Syria, Egypt and the Middle East Palestinian conflict.   Do you remember him giving speeches about the “real cause” for civil war being unemployment ?  John Kerry wants to stop terrorism with a jobs program – 2013.

“[W]e’re not going to solve this challenge of terror and of extremism and of people finding an alternative if we’re not reaching out to people, talking to them, bringing them to the table and trying to work through major, perceived differences,” Secretary of State John Kerry told a gathering in Brussels on Monday.  “I believe we have to create a new paradigm, frankly, to deal with this.”  (link)

That was April 2013.    Now today, May 2014, in a speech about Nigeria, John Kerry:

HatTip to Splat and Adrem for researching and constructing the video aspect. Thanks also to Fox News for permission to use their video segment.

If you were sitting on the Benghazi fence unsure of whether there is actually any “there” there, this little segment from Fox News is going to peak your curiosity just *that much* more.

Apparently, according to Fox News Pundit Bob Beckel, he and White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon are “old friends”.

OK, fair enough, no biggie.   Actually, who cares?

EXCEPT… Well,…  listen carefully to what Bob Beckel says at 3:20 point of this video.

Ironically The Daily Beast, a considerably progressive outlet, has done some substantive research on the entire Libyan Folly. Their recent article runs directly to the issue of “what difference it makes”.

(Via Daily Beast) Leaders from at least three of al Qaeda’s most virulent affiliates are now in Libya. What are they planning there?

In the nearly 20 months since the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks, al Qaeda operatives and allied terrorists have flocked to Libya, making the fragile North African country a hub for those seeking to wage jihad from north Africa, current and former U.S. counterterrorism officials tell The Daily Beast.

Not only does al Qaeda host Ansar al-Sharia, one of the militias responsible for the Benghazi attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. But U.S. intelligence now assesses that leaders from at least three regional al Qaeda affiliates—al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and members of the organization of Al-Mulathameen Brigade loyal to Algerian terrorist, Mokhtar BelMokhtar—have all established havens in the lawless regions of Libya outside the control of the central government.

We’ve said from the outset that former CIA Head Mike Morell was specifically shaping his testimony to congress in a very specific manner to protect Hillary Clinton.  The evidence to that regard was/is simply self-evident.

Now that former NSC Spokesperson and White House liaison, Tommy Vietor, has admitted to changing the Benghazi talking points it would appear Morell was indeed lying to congress.

The progressive agenda is transparent, even when the White House is not…

(Washington DC)  Just over half the nation wants further investigation into the September 2012 terrorist killings of American diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, in part because an even larger percentage of the country does not believe that President Obama’s team has told the full story about the simmering scandal.

Rasmussen Reports revealed in a new poll that 51 percent want the investigation to go forward. The House last week ordered up a special panel to investigate the killings of the U.S. ambassador and several others and how the administration handled the crisis.

Worse for Obama, Rasmussen found that 59 percent feel it is unlikely the administration has revealed all of the details of the episode. And 50 percent are not satisfied with the administration’s story they’ve heard.  (read more)

On cue, and amid the new Benghazi false narrative revelations; and having isolated Sharyl Attkisson, New York mag strikes back to marginalize another Benghazi reporter.

Truth has only to exchange hands a few times to become fiction !

In my opinion the activity within the White House on 9/11/12, the night of the Benghazi attack, is not riddled with hard to understand events.

If you separate the wheat from the chaff you begin to understand what the response, or lack thereof, was all about.

The wheat is “what they knew”, the chaff is what people “think they knew”.

Two fundamentally different aspects which can be brought into alignment with a simple review of known facts and known communications.

The Benghazi State Department compound came under direct attack at 9:40pm Libyan time, or 3:40pm (Eastern DC time). All times for this presentation will be in Washington DC time.

The first notification of the attack into the White House came through the State Department at 4:05pm via email cable. It said: “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack”. (more…)

On September 11th 2012 radical Islamists through the Muslim Brotherhood had gained power in the Morsi administration.   As a consequence they scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo Egypt and hoisted the al-Qaeda flag during an organized protest by Brotherhood leader Mohammed Al Zawahiri.  They wanted the U.S. to release the Blind Sheik, an Egyptian terrorist.

But Hillary Blamed a U-Tube Video.

WHY ?   Because she had to !

What everyone forgets is the weeks leading up to September 11th 2012 in Egypt, and the sensibility on the ground.   What everyone forgets is the visit Hillary Clinton made to Cairo Egypt just a few weeks before Sept 11th 2012 and how she was received.

Here’s the reminder:    DATELINE JULY 16 – 2012: (more…)

Two familiar questions have recently been resurrected by the professional left.  Both questions essentially stem from obfuscation and intentional deflection around the Libyan attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi.

When the conversation comes up about Benghazi, much of it is now focused on the lies and cover-up after the attack itself.   In an effort to diminish inquiry, the professional left throw out a familiar prose:  “Oh yeah, well if it’s a cover up what exactly were they trying to cover up”?

Or more professionally stated:

• What was the policy failure in Libya that created the Benghazi crisis and immediately created risk to the Obama administration?

WASHINGTON DC – House Republicans moved on two fronts Friday to dig for answers on Benghazi, with Speaker John Boehner announcing a special committee to investigate and a key panel subpoenaing Secretary of State John Kerry to testify.

In a significant shift, Boehner announced that the House will vote on establishing a select committee to investigate, on the heels of newly released emails that raised additional questions about the White House’s response.

Top Republicans claimed those emails should have been released to Congress months ago, and Boehner signaled those concerns prompted him to rethink the need for a select committee.

“Americans learned this week that the Obama Administration is so intent on obstructing the truth about Benghazi that it is even willing to defy subpoenas issued by the standing committees of the People’s House. These revelations compel the House to take every possible action to ensure the American people have the truth about the terrorist attack on our consulate that killed four of our countrymen,” he said in a statement.  (more…)

Tommy Vietor (Former NSC Spokesman) was on Brett Baier’s show Special Report tonight. The entire conversation was an interesting display in “Parseltongue” and “Obfuscation”. I’ll look for entire segment:
