Earlier this month, in response to the exponentially growing email scandal, Hillary Clinton said:

…“the vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses, which meant they were captured and preserved immediately on the system at the State Department”….

Except they weren’t.

They didn’t.

Buried inside a New York Times article today, discussing the email issues as they specifically relate to Benghazi, the following paragraphs are noted: (more…)

Follow-up to last night’s madness in New Orleans – It appears the machete wielding nutter (who I think could still be an Allahu Ackbar candidate), Richard White, was planning on something larger than just chopping up people in the airport….

(Via Fox) The machete-wielding man who attacked two Transportation Security Agency workers at a New Orleans airport was carrying a bag holding six Molotov cocktails, officials said.

Officials said they don’t know what suspect Richard White intended to do with the homemade bombs or what triggered the incident.

“As you know this was unexpected incident involving a clearly troubled and disturbed individual,” said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu at a Saturday afternoon press conference.

White, 62, chased the two Transportation Security Agency workers at New Orleans International Airport with a machete and wasp spray late Friday. He was shot multiple times by an officer, police said.

Officials said they noticed White had been carrying a bag when they checked surveillance video after the incident. (more…)

Very interesting article by Monica Crowley in the Washington Times pondering over the communications and non-official relationship between Hillary Clinton and Sidney Blumenthal. Blumenthal said to be in direct contact with various foreign governments and agencies to backchannel information to Hillary around official U.S. oversight.

Against the backdrop of what we researched -evidenced within The Benghazi Brief– the secret intelligence communication motive does make a lot of sense.

WASHINGTON TIMES – We all know that the only reason you would deliberately and premeditatedly set up a private email address and server is to have total control over your communications — to keep people away from those communications and to retain the ability to edit and delete your content.

In Hillary Clinton’s case, given her long history of concealment and duplicity, total control was the system’s purpose, not to keep track of Chelsea’s bridal gift registry.

A story originally reported in 2013 (and little-noticed at the time) may offer a deeper dimension to the reasons she wanted this control — and it leaves us with many new, unanswered questions. (more…)

Tunisia was the original economic and cultural tinderbox that ignited the 2010 “Islamist Spring” – as the Tunisian economy could not support the seemingly endless flow of N African nationals trying to reach Europe. When Tunisia’s Ben Ali and Libya’s Quackdaffy took the 2009 €5 Billion EU bribe to close the immigration gates it was only a matter of time before Tunisia erupted.  It took less than 2 years.

However, since their original cultural crisis, and removal of Ben Ali, Tunis has been trying to avoid getting pulled into the Islamist nightmare that has taken over neighboring Libya. Today an ISIS terror attack took place in the heart of the capital – 19 foreign nationals reported killed so far. ~ Details Developing ~

(Via Reuters) Gunmen in military uniforms stormed Tunisia’s national museum, killing 17 foreign tourists and two Tunisians on Wednesday in one of the worst militant attacks in a country that has largely escaped the region’s “Arab Spring” turmoil.

Visitors from Italy, Germany, Poland and Spain were among the dead in the noon assault on the Bardo museum near parliament in central Tunis, Prime Minister Habib Essid said. (more…)

He was in the Air Force from ’86 through ’90. Converted to Islam in ’98, and worked for American Airlines in 2001….  Arrested in January, and only just now coming to light?

A Summary of facts from an ABC Article – A former U.S. Air Force veteran (1986-1990), Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, 47, originally from New Jersey, was arrested several months ago by the FBI for trying to join ISIS.

On Jan. 10, he flew from Egypt to Turkey hoping to slip into Syria but Turkish authorities refused to let him enter their country.

Egyptian authorities then deported Pugh to the United States, where he was arrested by the FBI and found to be carrying multiple electronic devices, including a cell phone that allegedly contained a photograph of a machine gun. Some of the data on the electronic devices had been deleted, prosecutors say.

On his laptop, FBI agents discovered that he had been viewing ISIS propaganda online and conducting online searches for such phrases as “borders controlled by Islamic state,” “kobani border crossing,” and “who controls kobani,” according to prosecutors. (more…)

Forty-seven Republicans on Sunday wrote an open letter to Tehran suggesting any nuclear deal with the Obama administration would not be constitutionally binding because a future president or Congress could take steps to revoke it.

Vice-President Joe Biden kicked off the Democrat meme by calling the letter an unprecedented affront “designed to undercut a sitting president.”

… […] “In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which Senators wrote directly to advise another country — much less a longtime foreign adversary — that the President does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them. This letter sends a highly misleading signal to friend and foe alike that that our Commander-in-Chief cannot deliver on America’s commitments — a message that is as false as it is dangerous.” (link)

Which led to the New York Daily News putting forth this headline: (more…)

In 2013 Secretary of State John Kerry first promoted the Jobs 4 Jihadists program encouraging Western investment in Mid-East companies to stimulate the economies and create jobs for radical extremists. Last month State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf expanded on that belief and took considerable flak for promoting the position of her boss.

Reports are now surfacing that Jihadists are specifically targeting Western Companies for violence and attacks. This obviously could become problematic for Secretary Kerry’s jobs program.

Egypt is facing a new campaign of violence, this time a series of attacks targeting western companies like KFC and Vodafone. (more…)

Quick thoughts about substance to Gowdy media appearance:

Hillary has deleted her now infamous avatar showing her on board a military plane en route to Libya.

The picture was taken in 2011 by Time Magazine and titled “Clinton checks her PDA in sunglasses upon departure in a military plane from Malta, bound for Tripoli, on October 18, 2011.” She claims the removal as part of a campaign to raise awareness of women’s rights. However, given the nature of this Gowdy revelation it’s easy to see the real motivation.

(Via Daily Signal) During an appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” today, Rep. Trey Gowdy said there are “huge gaps” in the emails he has received from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton related to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012.

[…]  Gowdy mentioned the “iconic” photo of then-Secretary Clinton during that trip, looking at her “handheld device.”

Yesterday the White House spokesperson Josh Earnest suggested that President Obama first knew of the existence of a secret Clinton email account after reading about it in the recent papers.  Today President Obama confirmed that espousal:

In interview with @plantecbs, Pres Obama says he learned of Hillary Clinton's private e-mail use "the same time everybody else learned it."

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) March 7, 2015

Today, Politico is reporting the White House knew specifically about the email accounts in August of last year (2014), and the Clinton aides asked white house officials not to immediately act on anything:

(Politico) The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton’s personal office knew in August that House Republicans had received information showing that the former secretary of state conducted official government business through her private email account — and Clinton’s staff made the decision to keep quiet.

Sources familiar with the discussions say key people in the Obama administration and on Clinton’s staff were aware that the revelation could be explosive for the all-but-announced candidate for president. But those involved deferred to Clinton’s aides, and they decided not to respond. (link)

Further in the Politico article it cites the timeline of August 2014 notification came as a result of the Select Committee on Benghazi and their inquires into communication within the State Dept. between Hillary and other officials. (more…)
