Perfect.   This announcement comes just moments before President Obama is expected to hold a press conference (around 1pm) about his Term Two agenda and possible questions about Benghazi.

Again, the most important aspect to any discussion of events and research comes back to the timeline.   Petraeus gave his testimony briefing on Sept. 14th.  More after the video:

Transcript: I think the really shocking news today was that General Petraeus thought and hoped he could keep his job. He thought that it might and it would be kept secret, and that he could stay in his position. I think what that tells us is really important.

It meant that he understood that the FBI obviously knew what was going on. He was hoping that those administration officials would not disclose what had happened, and therefore hoping that he would keep his job. And that meant that he understood that his job, his reputation, his legacy, his whole celebrated life was in the hands of the administration, and he expected they would protect him by keeping it quiet.

(Via Doug Ross – The righteous) I want to address the rocket scientist RINOs typified by House Speaker John Boehner and commentator William Kristol, both of whom have expressed a willingness to “compromise” with Democrats and raise taxes on “millionaires”. And by “millionaires”, they of course mean any individual making over $200,000 and any family making over $250,000. And, as everyone knows, a substantial number of these folks are small business owners, who account for roughly half of all the jobs created by small business.

I would like to unleash a rant on these two, but first, please read this item spotted while surfing the web. (more…)

Apparently Petraeus/Broadwell, Terrorists and sneaky teenagers are not the only ones who want to find a super-secret way to use electronic communications.    Which for public officials is essentially bad enough.   However, when you claim to be  the most “transparent administration ever”, well, that just makes you a liar. 

If you want to avoid a Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) public disclosure filing, this is one way – create bogus named email accounts to hide behind.   (Via Daily Caller)  The name Richard Windsor may sound innocuous, but it is allegedly one of  the secret “alias” email accounts used by Obama EPA Administrator Lisa  Jackson.

“That is the name — sorry, one of the alias names — used by Obama’s radical  EPA chief to keep her email from those who ask for it,” Chris Horner,  senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and author of the new book “The Liberal War on on Transparency,” told the  Daily Caller News Foundation in an email.

Condi Rice approaches three perspectives:  1.) what was the breakdown in security leading up to the attack on 9/11.   2.)  What took place during that 8 or 9 hours when the State Dept. had a “real time” feed of activity.   3.)  Why was there a White House breakdown in communicating the reason for the attack.

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Remember the White House GOAL: 1.) Move current opinion of Gen Petraeus 2.) Use CIA Angle as cover for misleading information.  3.)  Take no responsibility for the lies and falsehoods.    Think of advancing their objectives like advancing a football in the game toward the Goal line:

√20 yard line – Petraeus is a solid patriot ===> √   …. Fri
√30 yard line – Petraeus is fallible/human ====> √ …. Sat/Sun
√40 yard line – Petraeus lost his capacity for judgement ====> √…. Mon
√50 yard line – Petraeus is/was distracted ===> √  …. Tue
√40 yard line – Petraeus is compromised ===>  Wednesday Press Conference 
30 yard line – Petraeus is unstable  ===> then
20 yard line – Petraeus is not-credible ===> then
10 yard line – Petraeus is out for revenge. ====> then
Touchdown – Petraeus is a liar.

Each Administration player, including Media “special teams” (See Michael Hastings and CNN Suzanne Kelly) will have a specific goal in advancing the narrative of protection for the Administration.   Remember: “How to win the game”?  Isolate => Ridicule => Marginalize.

It is how they roll. Always.

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama will take questions from the press on Wednesday, Nov.  14.  Obama has avoided the press conferences since mid-June, when he took  questions at an international conference in Mexico. (more…)

“They had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam.”  – John Kerry

We have watched this woman closely for the past three years.   While this comes as no surprise, it is staggeringly ridiculous.

Susan Rice was elevated to Cabinet Level Status by President Obama;  Essentially granting her U.N. Ambassador position the same administration level and authority as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton throughout the first term – However, most people do not know that.

Susan Rice is part of the anti-Israel contingent within the Administration – the most notable recent evidence of this was her listening intently to Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad deliver a speech belittling The United States, yet vacating the UN during Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech.  

However, Rice has a history, a profound history of ineptitude.  It was Susan Rice who attended a Global Warming Summit instead of meeting with the United Nations Emergency Security Council in Feb 2010 regarding Libya.   MUST READ CATCH UP ARTICLE – Canada FreePress:

Where’s Susan Rice, the cabinet rank ambassador of the free world’s superpower? On the day Hosni Mubarak stepped down as dictator of Egypt, Feb. 11, she was visiting Oregon to give a talk on “Why America Needs the United Nations.” This week, as Libyans escalated their uprising against more than 41 years of Qaddafi’s totalitarian, terror-based reign, Rice sent her deputy to an emergency Security Council meeting on Libya on Tuesday, and took off for a two-day meeting in Cape Town, South Africa.

The “two-day” meeting in Cape Town was on… wait for it…  Global Sustainability. (more…)
