BENGHAZI: PROTECTING THE
THRONE
MichaelConnelly.Jigsy.com
As a result of the May 8th
House of Representatives Committee hearing on the
September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in
Benghazi, Libya three chilling conclusions can be
drawn. First, the four Americans who were killed
were abandoned by the very government they so
bravely served. Days prior to the attack Ambassador
Chris Stevens and others on his staff pointed out to
the State Department that the security situation in
Libya was deteriorating. There had already been a
car bomb attack on the Consulate in Benghazi and an
attempt had been made on the life of the British
ambassador. Therefore, Ambassador Stevens wanted an
increase in security personnel.
Yet, despite these
reports and the fact that the anniversary of the
9/11 attacks in 2001 was rapidly approaching these
requests were denied and orders were issued actually
reducing the number of security personnel already
assigned to the Ambassador. Then when the attacks
began on September 11th, there is clear
evidence that there were American military assets in
the area, including a four man special opts team in
Tripoli, that could have been used to break up the
assault and save American lives. Instead of
immediately deploying these assets, someone in the
Obama administration ordered a stand down and no
help was provided to the Ambassador and his
embattled staff at the Consulate.
The second conclusion
that can be clearly drawn is that the U.S.
government knew from the beginning of the assault
that this was a coordinated terrorist attack yet
tried to hide this fact from the public for days.
Instead of acknowledging that we had been struck by
Jihadists once again on 9/11 administration
officials, including the President and Secretary of
State, claimed it was a spontaneous demonstration
resulting from an obscure YouTube video critical of
the prophet Mohammed that the demonstration somehow
evolved into bloodshed. This was claimed despite the
overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
There are still more
questions than answers and there will be more
hearings, but the final inescapable conclusion to be
drawn from this initial hearing is that the
Administration, the vast majority of the Democrats
in Congress, and most of the mainstream media don’t
want the American people to know the truth. Their
only interest is in protecting King Obama and his
throne, and protecting his possible successor,
Hilary Clinton. Instead of asking pertinent
questions the Democrats on the committee spent most
of their time attacking the Republicans and the
valiant whistleblowers.
Indeed,
these elected representatives of “we the people”
drew their swords and locked their shields together
in order to form a bulwark between the truth and the
American people. This is a direct violation of their
oath of office where they swear to support and
defend the Constitution of the United States. The
founding fathers carefully crafted the Constitution
to set up a limited Federal government with three
separate, but equal branches that would provide
checks and balances to keep one branch from becoming
too powerful and plunging our nation into tyranny.
By refusing to rein in the excesses of the Executive
Branch of government these so called “lawmakers” are
failing to do what they are tasked to do by the
Constitution. This is not only an impeachable
offense, but is subject to criminal penalties under
the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7311 and 18 U.S.C. 1918.
As for the
members of the national news media, they take no
such oath but I contend that they are still bound by
the duties imposed on them by the Constitution. The
First Amendment provides for freedom of the press
and the founding fathers placed it in the
Constitution for a specific reason. They wanted a
free press to be a watch dog over the Federal
government to keep it from becoming tyrannical,
lying to the American people, and taking away our
God given freedoms. By refusing to dig for the truth
about Benghazi and in fact assisting the
Administration in the cover up much of the
mainstream media has become nothing more than a
propaganda forum for the President and his allies.
They are no longer the standard bearers for a free
press, but the disciples of tyranny.
It is time
for us to take back our country and hold the enemies
of our Constitution accountable for their actions.
