Considering all I have learned about Benghazi this story makes the most sense. We know that security was severely decreased and requests for increased security were denied. Military were available to go to the aid of the Ambassador but were told to stand down and when on General decided to disobey that order and deploy his men anyway, the 2nd in Command came up and relieved him of his duties based on command from the generals boss. When survivor Hicks testified that the Ambassador had been captured and that he had been taken to a hospital.

I've heard a couple of times that the Ambassador's body was ravaged and drug through the streets. But based on testimony of family, that does not ring true. There have been no testimony from family that confirms that scenario. I knew that something was very fishy when I learned that repeated requests for increased security by Ambassador Steven's was refused and even reduced.

Some truth about Benghazi!

Truth behind the murders in Benghazi!

Or what did Hillary and the President know about the imminent danger facing the embassy in Benghazi, when did they know it and what did they do about it?

Predictably the Obama administration is playing the governmental equivalent of the four-corners offense, hoping that by doing so they can run out the clock and that this scandal over murdered Americans in Benghazi will simply fade away as so many of their scandals have in the past, but it won't!

This is the content of an email I received from a reader that relates the story that surrounds the murder of four Americans in Benghazi on September 11.

For my money this version sadly holds much more water than anything that has come out of the mouth of anyone in the Obama administration up to and including the President!

The spelling and grammar is not always perfect in this email chain, a fact that the libs like to focus on as a smokescreen to divert attention away from the content. But ITCS!

Truth at Last! Benghazi Torture!

This came to me from a very trusted friend but you can see that I asked if it could be verified. You will see her reply first, my request, and finally the original message. Sad, sad story and an incredible indictment on our very sick government. I have redacted her name as I usually do (except for her first initial).

---------- Forwarded message ----------
I had one friend who said about this e-mail: "Can this really be true?" I shot a note back and said "yes, it is true, our pastor the next week said from the pulpit - People, do not believe the press - even Fox news. They are not telling you the truth on this. I have contacts in Benghazi and this is really what happened." He then began to unfold the truth just like described below (except, I did not know his b___ had been cut off). I knew he had been sodomized and dragged behind a car in the streets etc. I was delighted to get the real truth as to what happened that day when he and Hillary met with the families. I think this is pretty damming for Hillary and may cost her the white house.

LETTER IN THE DUBUQUE TOWN CRIER: FROM CYNTHIA LEE MEYERS (COUSIN OF ONE OF THE MEN KILLED IN BENGHAZI)

Cynthia Lee Meyers (cousin of one man who was killed in Benghazi)

"Here is my story. A week out the Embassy in Tripoli began receiving multiple tips about an Al Queda cell in the area planning an attack on 9/11 in response to the killing of Bin Laden. For the next several days, the state dept and WH were asked for a security force and were denied at least six times. Ambassador Stevens and his team were given the all clear that The Consulate in Benghazi was safe and there was no need for a security force other than his 3 personal guards (One being my cousin) and a few Libyans who were not armed.

Then the attack and murders occurred. Immediately the WH claimed it was a protest gone bad over a “you tube” video. Obama made a quick speech in the Rose Garden on Sept.12 before catching a plane to Vegas to campaign. He made a generic statement at the end of his speech after placing the blame on an overheated protest over the video. He said "No act of terror will shake the resolve of America .

Later that day and over the next 2 days, the liberal media began saying Ambassador Stevens and the other 3 men died of smoke inhalation. This was not the case. Out of respect for my cousin, I'm not going to be specific about his murder. However Ambassador Stevens was brutally murdered. His genitals were cut off, he was sodomized and beaten and cut and stabbed and burned. He was drug thru the streets and left for dead. This is eyewitness testimony of a local Dr. Who found the Ambassador in a ditch and tried to save his life. He had no idea who he was.

The other 3 men, including my cousin, met similar fates. And deaths due to smoke inhalation is a 100% fabricated LIE. The next week I drove my aunt and Uncle and 2 others to DC to receive his body. We met with Hillary, Panetta, and Susan Rice. ALL of whom apologized and said it was a protest gone bad over a video and exited the area. Next Obama entered with the same story and didn't apologize and wasn't sympathetic.

My aunt cried to this man (Obama) and all he did was hand her flowers and walk away.

I tried to get his attention, but didn't. I got upset and yelled "liar" to him, he kept walking. Then a secret service agent grabbed my arm and led me to a room where I was held till the proceedings were over. America, I saw firsthand how cold this man is.

What kind of liar he is. Most of you haven't a clue about this tyrant and yet you support him. And act like every word he says is Gospel. These murders and the fast and furious cover-ups make water gate look like a kid who told his bff's secret to the class. We must stop this man, and please pass this story along."

They all lied…and this one picture* is the proof

Posted by Diane Sori July9, 2013



As new information is finally starting to leak out about what really happened in Benghazi on that fateful night of September 11, 2012, NOTHING is more telling than this one single photograph…for this photograph proves that Ambassador Christopher Stevens did NOT die of smoke inhalation in the embassy compound as was claimed by the Obama administration, but was taken alive, raped, sodomized, and God only knows what else…and Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all those in their vile orbit knew this from day one and all bold-faced lied.

They all willfully, deliberately, and with malice LIED to Ambassador Stevens’ family and to ‘We the People’. And while we all know that some claim that Stevens was the middle-man in Obama’s gun and weapons running operation to the Syrian rebels, or that he was actually kidnapped to trade for the Blind Sheik and mistakenly killed, I believe that what I will tell you about this picture coupled with Obama’s cover-up and LIES, gives credence to my belief (one that I’ve had since day one) that Ambassador Steven’s found out Obama was running guns and weapons under the table to the al-Qaeda supported Syrian rebels, and was silenced before he could expose what Obama was doing.

Before I get to the photograph we must let the lead-up facts speak for themselves.

First, we all know there was NO spontaneous mob protest outside the consulate as Obama claimed for the first two weeks after the attack. Mob violence that got out of control because of an anti-islamic YouTube video he said, but a video that few had actually seen, that is until he went on Pakistani TV bloviating and apologizing for it after the fact. And with both former CIA Director David H. Petreaus and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that NO video was involved, they both bold-faced lied to Congress when first questioned, claiming that it was the video and the video alone that caused the attack. But I hate to tell them …NO I’m happy to tell them…lying under oath is a felony…an arrestable offense.

Second, Obama and crew still continue to claim there was NO warning of an impending attack issued by our Benghazi consulate. LIARS…there were many calls fearing an attack was imminent sent out by NOT only the Benghazi consulate and Ambassador Stevens himself, but also by our Tripoli embassy. Stevens sent out numerous pleas for help in the days and hours before the attack, because he knew of and feared the significant number of well-armed militias, all with ties to al-Qaeda, that were roaming the area around Benghazi. Also, remember that just a few months before, in June of the same year, a terrorist attack on the British Ambassador to Libya was attempted (thankfully it failed) causing both Britain and the International Red Cross to close their Benghazi offices…and the Red Cross just does NOT pick up and run without justification.

Those events in June alone should have served as a warning to Washington that our consulate and our people were in danger.

Third, fast forward to September 10th, when al-Qaeda head honcho Ayman al-Zawahrin publicly called on Libyans to seek revenge for the killing of a Libyan al-Qaeda leader, and that the next morning, September 11th, Libyan so-called ‘police officers’ who were supposed to be helping guard the compound were seen taking pictures of the inside of the compound. In fact, Ambassador Stevens sent an e-mail to DC that morning stating that he found this picture taking “troubling” and received NO reply. Now add in that on the afternoon of September 11th, the Blue Mountain Security manager, whose company also provided some of the guards for the Benghazi compound, sensed something was wrong and put out an alert via radio and cellphone, and according to media reports, there were roadblocks and check points set up well in advance of the attack because of his alert.

Fourth, our response to all this was to send up an unarmed surveillance drone over the consulate compound about 90 minutes AFTER the attack started…the very drone through which Barack Obama watched our people being slaughtered…which of course he claimed he NEVER did. And if you believe that I’ve got some swamp land to sell you, because (and this is my belief alone) this man had to make sure Stevens was killed one way or the other so his ‘secret’ would be safe…so rest assured he saw it all.

And now remember all the conflicting reports of orders being issued or orders NOT being issued to ‘stand down’. I say ordering forces that were prepared to assist during an on-going attack to ‘stand down’ or NOT giving go orders at all to units ready, willing, and able to assist is NOT an act of negligence as some are trying to claim, but borders on…if NOT is…an act of treason.

And so, General Carter Ham, then commander of AFRICOM whose jurisdiction took in Benghazi, testified last week about that fateful night during a closed door hearing before the House Armed Services Committee, but isn’t it odd that NO reports of his testimony have been reported on…NONE whatsoever by any of the news media…just reports on the testimony of underlings…hmmm…

What we do know at this point is that two Marine anti-terrorist teams based in Rota, Spain, were ready to go assist in Benghazi, but reports claimed that it would have taken the first team 23 hours to get to Tripoli (which is an out and out LIE for while the two locations are 1,553 miles apart they’re only 3 hours 5 minutes apart in flight time), and that the second team was NEVER deployed because they were told that US personnel had been evacuated from Benghazi…another LIE because NO one had been evacuated and NO one was sent in to evacuate anyone. And isn’t it also odd that NOT one of these supposed ‘evacuees’… survivors actually…eye witnesses to the day’s events…has been seen or talked to by any media outlet…convenient huh. Also, there was a 130-man, fully armed Marine Force-Recon unit on the ground in Sigonella, Sicily, that could have been in Benghazi in 1 hour and 14 minutes, for the two locations are only 610 miles apart, but was NEVER called to do so.

So, with General Ham testifying in a closed-door session with the House Armed Services Committee, we still CANNOT get word of what his testimony entailed, but underling Lt. Col. S.E. Gibson said his commanders…and who pray tell were those commanders…told him to remain in the capital of Tripoli to defend Americans in case of additional attacks, and to help survivors being evacuated from Benghazi…but at that time NO one was being evacuated as the consulate was under heavy attack with NO help coming to either aid or rescue them.

And even with this testimony, even if the actual words ‘stand down’ were NOT uttered, the bottom line remains that with NO help forthcoming…with all parties involved making excuses for why help couldn’t be sent…this proves there was a total lack of military response to Ambassador Stevens’ pleas for help even with what the drone overhead was showing, and that in and of itself is an order to ‘stand down’ as far as I’m concerned.

Now to the photograph itself and remember this is NOT a newly released photograph but a photograph now seen differently, because one main point in this photograph has been overlooked by all…until now that is. Remember reports by a Libyan doctor claimed Stevens died ‘at the consulate’ of “severe asphyxia,” sometimes known as smoke inhalation, but results of an autopsy done on Stevens’ body after it was returned to the US have NOT been made public to either prove or disprove that. And then known al-Qaeda terrorist Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin piped in claiming Stevens was killed by lethal injection ‘at the consulate’, and while some do NOT discard that as a possible cause of death that too has NOT been proven or disproved, again because our government has NOT released our US done autopsy results. But no matter as neither of those scenarios is the truth because Ambassador Stevens did NOT die at the Benghazi consulate…he died…NO he was MURDERED… after being taken very much ALIVE from the consulate and at the direct hands of the enemy…an enemy aided by our president…and here’s the proof…

Notice Ambassador Stevens being carried by the barbarians…notice his right arm hanging down limp…now notice his bent left arm up by his face trying to either protect his face, cover his eyes, or even wipe tears from his eyes, but guess what…dead men do NOT wipe tears from their eyes nor do they try to cover their faces…NO…AMBASSADOR STEVENS WAS ALIVE NOT DEAD FROM SMOKE INHALATION and NO crap that he died at the hospital…and NO nonsense that maybe rigor-mortise had set in to bend his arm because that takes hours to happen and the time frame for that just isn’t here. This man was NOT being taken to a hospital after death as claimed but was dragged ALIVE through the streets, raped, sodomized, brutalized, and murdered by these muslim bast*rds, and this is why NO official US autopsy reports have been released. This fact had and still has to be hidden at all costs for Stevens being alive at this point could very well blow Barack Obama’s cover-ups of why that night in Benghai happened.

Bottom line…our miserable muslim sympathizing president and his equally miserable former Secretary of State both NOT only LIED to us all about the reason for Benghazi, but also covered-up the cause of Ambassador Stevens’ death and everything relating to Benghazi. And that, I believe, is grounds for immediate arrest for treason.

New Benghazi Revelations Demand A Prosecutor
Was Morsi Involved in Our Ambassador’s Death?
Posted on July 13 2013

It’s been OVER 10 MONTHS since four brave American diplomats were killed and ten other Americans were injured in Benghazi, Libya, by a mob of heavily armed jihadists.

The families of Ambassador Stevens and others still want real answers! So do Americans! Brand new revelations indicate that possibly former Egyptian President Morsi was an accomplice in these ghastly murders. Yes, you read that correctly!

No wonder such a long cover-up! No matter what side of the aisle you are on, it is obvious that the killings in Benghazi were covered-up, and could stretch all the way, to the Oval Office.

A retired, highly-decorated, Air Force General (LTG Tom McInerney – ret.) has said that the “stand-down” of why the secondary security force was held up—could only come from one source: THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF! Yet, we still don’t know where President Obama really was that night and why he decided to go to sleep instead of to the situation room?

Now, circumstantial evidence suggests Egyptian President Morsi may have been behind the Benghazi attack. The revelations DEMAND that a Special Prosecutor dig to the very bottom of the Benghazi debacle and the death of these Patriots.

Al Rai, a Kuwaiti newspaper, and other Arabic papers are reporting that Libyan intelligence is implicated Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and other Egyptian leaders, in funding the attack on the United States mission in Benghazi over ten months ago.

Who can forget, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton- sloughing off these tragic deaths-shrugging her shoulders and shrugging off her responsibility asking, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” This makes a difference; this is the difference between what is right and what is wrong.

What about the four American families that have been waiting over TEN long months for truthful answers on why their patriotic family member was murdered? That’s why we need a special prosecutor to fully investigate the Benghazi terrorist attacks!

The terrorist attacks (NOT a YouTube video!!) that claimed the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other patriots will forever remain etched in our minds! However, TEN LONG MONTHS LATER, too many questions surrounding that deadly night remain unanswered:

· Why was diplomatic security in Benghazi so weak?

· Why did the Pentagon fail to scramble military reinforcements during the seven-hour raid?

· Why did the Administration initially claim the attack was a “spontaneous demonstration” triggered by a YouTube video?

· Why so an overt cover-up that is more and more, coming to light?

· Now Egyptian President Morsi!

The American people demand and deserve answers!

Obama nominee questioned on Clinton, Benghazi
2 days ago | By Bradley Klapper of Associated Press

Victoria Nuland, President Barack Obama's choice as chief American diplomat for Europe.



Nominee Victoria Nuland served as spokeswoman and adviser to Secretaries of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's choice as chief U.S. envoy for Europe defended her role in the talking points created after last year's deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, at a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday that seemed focused as much on the tragedy as the future presidential prospects of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Victoria Nuland refused to blame Clinton, for whom she served as spokeswoman when U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission last Sept. 11. Nuland said she objected to some of the administration's talking points in the days after Benghazi because they were inconsistent, inaccurate and risked prejudicing the FBI investigation into those responsible for the attack. "It was not for me to decide what we knew or what we could declassify," Nuland told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

No one at the hearing expressed doubt about Nuland's qualifications for the job of assistant secretary of state for Europe— a point a potential Republican opponent of Clinton for the presidency in 2016, Sen. Marco Rubio, conceded.

But Nuland's prospects for confirmation appeared tied to how she answered questions on the Benghazi attack, with several Republican senators asking her why the Obama administration shifted its public explanations of the assault. They also wanted to know why, shortly afterward, the president's former U.N. ambassador and current national security adviser, Susan Rice, blamed it on extremists who hijacked a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video.

The consistent question was whether Nuland acted at Clinton's behest when she weighed in on the talking points being prepared for Congress. She sought the removal of references to a Libyan militia group and jihadists possibly laying siege to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

In publicly released emails, Nuland, a career foreign service officer who has held senior positions in the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, cited concerns of her "building's leadership." On Thursday, she said she never spoke to Clinton about the talking points and had not read any intelligence reports about the attack. "My responsibilities were to ensure consistency of our public messaging but not to make policy," she said. "So I never edited these talking points. I never made changes. I simply said that I thought that policy people needed to look at them.

Rarely is a potential assistant secretary of state expected to expound on such politically sensitive policy issues.

But Nuland has powerful Democratic patrons who at least at one time harbored presidential ambitions — and in Clinton's case, perhaps still. Nuland served as key adviser to Clinton and her successor, Secretary of State John Kerry, both of whom have run for president. She also has served as a foreign policy adviser to former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney.

Since Obama's re-election, Benghazi has been the centerpiece of an intensive effort by Republicans to scrutinize Clinton's tenure and undermine her strong favorability in public polls as she mulls a future campaign.

An independent review last year blamed the State Department for inadequate security but absolved Clinton of any personal wrongdoing. Still, American Crossroads, a group connected to Republican strategist Karl Rove, released a web video in May that was critical of Clinton's handling of the Benghazi case, amid lingering accusations from some Republicans that the Obama administration's changing story reflected an attempt to mislead the country about an act of terrorism in the heat of a presidential campaign.

Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican, was the first to press Nuland, beginning by recalling his heated exchange with Clinton at her final hearing in January. He quoted Clinton's response to him at the time: "What difference at this point does it make?"

"The question I have is do you believe that in your role representing the United States government that the American people deserve the truth out of members of the administration?" Johnson asked.

"Senator, the American people deserve the truth," Nuland answered. "This body deserves the truth. Those of us who were friends of the victims, as I was, deserve the truth."

Moving on to the State Department "leadership" Nuland cited in her email, Johnson asked: "Who are those bosses? What about names? I mean, who are those individuals?"

Nuland would only say she reported to the "full spectrum of undersecretaries, deputy secretaries." The only person she said she consulted with about the talking points was Jake Sullivan, then Clinton's policy planning director and now Vice President Joe Biden's national security adviser — the only U.S. official she identified by name.

Nuland later told Rubio that she never spoke at any time with Clinton about the talking points.

No Democrats present at the hearing asked Nuland about Benghazi. She has already won the support of another failed presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, and other leading Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham.

US Benghazi Hero Waited 20 Hours For Help With a Shredded Leg
– While Obama Campaigned in Las Vegas

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, July 27, 2013, 11:38 AM

US Hero David Ubben Suffered 20 Hours in Benghazi Before Help Arrived – While Obama Campaigned in Las Vegas

Diplomatic security agent David Ubben, like former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, ran into the Special Mission Compound (SMC) to help save US officials under siege in Benghazi. Ubben was struck by a mortar round that killed Woods and Doherty. His leg was shredded. Ubben was forced to wait twenty hours before a plane was sent to pick him up.

While Ubben was waiting for help with a shredded leg Barack Obama was campaigning in Las Vegas.


After a good night sleep Obama flew to Las Vegas to campaign on September 12, 2012.

Martha MacCullan at FOX News reported on this unbelievable story:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=jsvkQRuz264

“David Ubben waited for twenty hours after he was hit on that rooftop with Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty. His leg was shredded. We know that he has been recovering for ten months at Walter Reed as Catherine has just reported. He was defending the US consulate and then no medical aircraft was apparently sent to this scene to get him out of there. How could this be?”

If we had a real media that gave a damn this might make some headlines.

‘Phony scandal’ update: Members of Congress still being denied access to Benghazi survivor

By Doug Powers • July 27, 2013 03:13 PM



Half of this story is to be filed under “what difference does it make,” and the other half under “phony scandals.”

From the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...or-attack.html

David Ubben, a State Department diplomatic security agent who was gravely injured in the terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, is in the Walter Reed medical center near Washington, D.C., recuperating from injuries that almost cost him his right leg, but until Friday was kept out of reach of reporters.

Fox News established contact with Ubben at Walter Reed, showing only his blurred-out face in a still photograph during a television broadcast.

But members of Congress say they are still meeting resistance from the State Department, which is reportedly stonewalling them and denying them access to Ubben, who is still on the federal payroll and can’t speak about his Benghazi experience without clearance from State.

Ambassador Stevens, two former Navy SEALs and a State Department computer specialist were killed in an attack administration officials blamed on a YouTube video. Parents of two men killed in Benghazi say Hillary told them personally that the Mohammed video was to blame for the attack.

David Ubben survived the attack, but his leg was shattered by mortar fire and he reportedly waited on a rooftop for 20 hours before he was rescued.
