The only video needed to fully understand what’s going on in Europe:
A recent article at Real Clear Politics hits on one of the key aspects of the Benghazi fiasco that recent media are hell-bent on hiding; Hillary Clinton, not President Obama, is actually the person responsible for the crisis in Libya.
Watching the House Select Committee on Benghazi hearings, it was interesting to note how no-one really went ‘there’ to give Clinton full ownership of the 2011 Libyan Intervention. So let’s review Clinton’s ownership.
It’s as if both congress and the media have forgotten those ridiculous 19-days in 2011 when Hillary was flying back-and-forth to meet with French Prime-Minister Sarkozy and plan their endeavors.
In the U.S. presidential adviser Samantha Power was bending Obama’s ear with declarations of a “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) the Eastern Libyan citizens from the boogie man narrative assigned to Gadaffi.
Meanwhile in New York, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was answering calls from her British and French counterparts who were similarly selling an interventionist message. Back in the White House, President Obama was reluctant to engage. It was Secretary Clinton working overtime to bring the President into the same line of thinking as herself. (more…)
♦ When we first completed the 11,000 word research paper in 2013 called “The Benghazi Brief”, and against a considerable backlash, we shared an unfortunate reality/prediction. Nothing about what led up to the attack would ever be discussed in public.
♦ In August of 2014, upon completion of the updated Benghazi Brief, we stated that Congressman Trey Gowdy would never be allowed to publicly divulge the back-story of what led to the September 11th, 2012, attacks.
Prepare yourselves for profound disappointment next week, because nothing about either of these two statements has changed. Nothing has transpired over the past two plus years to change anything – They have built a Potemkin Village, that must be maintained at all costs.
THE PUBLIC AIRING OF WHAT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN February 2011 and September 2012 will never happen because the risk(s) do not solely attach to Hillary Clinton, The White House, The State Department or the CIA. The risk attaches to Republicans and Democrats alike who authorized the covert joint State Dept./CIA mission.
President Obama authorized two Presidential Finding Memos granting the State Department and CIA joint authorization for engagement in Libya and later in Syria. The Congressional Gang of Eight held oversight for both operations: (more…)
Our favorite ideological cabinet member appeared on CBS this morning replete with new linguistic skills. Listen to question at 01:58, and within the answer: “de-conflict” … it reappears a few minutes later in another retort.

(Via NBC) The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017. (more…)
We continue to put “refugees” in quotation marks because there’s nothing evidenced to denote or affirm the migrating masses qualify for such descriptions. Most of the migrating mass appear to be just seeking a better, more upgraded, neighborhood/lifestyle – that’s not the definition of what a “refugee” is; that’s just political opportunism.
However, French President Francios Hollande is exemplifying the leftist mindset. Again, it’s important to remember the U.S. State Department Charles Rivkin project was specifically targeted toward France for this very purpose; it’s working. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to understand “The Rivkin Project“.
(Via Reuters) France is ready to take in 24,000 refugees as part of European Union plans to welcome more than 100,000 in the next two years, French President Francois Hollande said on Monday, dismissing opinion polls showing public opposition to the move.
Hollande said he and German leader Angela Merkel wanted the 28-country EU to back a “permanent, mandatory system” under which each country would be obliged to take its fair share of a total of 120,000 migrants.
“This is a crisis, and it is a grave and dramatic one. It can be brought under control and it will be,” he told a news conference. (more…)
“We are the world… we are the children; We are the one’s who make a better life, so let’s start giving…. There’s a dream we’re making, we’re saving our own lives, it true we’ll make a better world, just you and me….
Sound familiar? Could you sing it if we only provided the first stanza? Most likely the answer is yes. The bigger question is “why”?
How about another one? More subtle maybe; this one from 2011:
This week’s biggest Africa news isn’t from Africa. It’s from a massive online and social media campaign launched by the American advocacy group Invisible Children to capture indicted war criminal and Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony.
As with their previous campaigns Displace Me and How it Ends, Invisible Children launched Stop Kony 2012 on Tuesday to mobilize the next generation of young Americans to help end the conflict in northern Uganda – except this time, they called on their mostly white, privileged, and educated youth followers to get involved through web-activism on their Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube accounts.

Against the backdrop of the recent poll showing Donald Trump easily defeating Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head matchup with registered voters, the Andrea Mitchell interview takes on a new light.
* Trump 54%, Clinton 36%.
* Trump 53%, Sanders 39%.
* Trump 53%, Biden 37%.
* Trump 54%, Gore 36%.
Obviously Mitchell (wife of Alan Greenspan) has always been a Hillary devotee, so there’s no substantive questions. However, there is information to showcase how Hillary is prepped for defending her absolutely horrible record as Secretary of State. Specifically the introduction of the “bathtub principle” regarding the current EU immigration crisis:
What this article outlines is, in fact, the termination clause within the Iranian nuclear deal. A full analysis shows how the language used to craft the deal gives Iran the easy out, ‘the-exit-ramp’ as soon as the sanctions are lifted.
WASHINGTON DC – Last Tuesday, a 159-page PDF of the Iran nuclear agreement dropped into my inbox. Scrolling down to page 19, I checked out Paragraph 36. I suggest you do the same.
Plenty of provisions in the Vienna agreement will get attention in the coming weeks, but Paragraph 36 may be the most important of all.
Paragraph 36 tells us when and how the agreement might end. Both friend and foe have touted this deal as “historic” and promised (or moaned) that its provisions will stay in place for the long term. But in practice, this is not a ten-year agreement or a fifteen-year agreement or an eternal agreement. Paragraph 36 tells us the truth: Any party—be it Iran or a future U.S. president—can essentially ditch the Iran nuclear deal with 35 days’ notice. (more…)
WASHINGTON DC – Secretary of State John Kerry, in a talking point similar to White House official Ben Rhodes earlier this week, claimed on Fox News Sunday he never seen discussed the idea of “anywhere, anytime” inspections in the Iran nuclear deal.
Host Chris Wallace mentioned the 24-day period Iran can stave off inspections as part of the agreement and how that hardly constituted meeting those standards before Kerry rebuked him.
“Well, that’s not accurate,” Kerry said. “I never, in four years, had a discussion about anywhere, anytime.”
Like Rhodes’ statement, this contradicts earlier statements made by the Obama administration, and it also makes it painfully clear the White House never thought this extremely important verification measure was ever realistic. (Via WFB)
