But here’s the point: as long as the Obama Administration stonewalls Benghazi, I’ll keep presenting information about Benghazi.
Four AMERICANS are dead, and no one is accountable. The Obama Administration repeatedly makes public announcements that it simply doesn’t care. It didn’t care then and it is doing its level best to crush Benghazi into the ground. “Those four deaths meant nothing, move on — nothing to see here.”
House Republicans have concluded that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was responsible for cutting security at the consulate in Benghazi ahead of last year’s attack there, and that the administration lied about why it downplayed terrorism as the cause of the assault.
A new report — the result of months of investigation by five different House committees — says there was plenty of intelligence that presaged the attack, but the State Department and President Obama failed to heed the warnings or give the Defense Department the authority to respond to such an attack.
In the most damning finding, House Republicans said Mr. Obama and his team lied about the attacks afterward, first by blaming mob violence spawned by an anti-Muslim video, and then wrongly saying it had misled the public because it was trying to protect an FBI investigation.
“This progress report reveals a fundamental lack of understanding at the highest levels of the State Department as to the dangers presented in Benghazi, Libya, as well as a concerted attempt to insulate the Department of State from blame following the terrorist attacks,” the GOP investigation concluded in its 46-page report.
These are what I would call “facts in evidence.” And yet, what is the bottom line? It is this:
And yet Hillary Clinton shrieked back to her critics: “With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. If it was because of a protest or if it was because guys out for a walk decided to go kill some Americans. What difference does it make?”
As I wrote here, Secretary Clinton, it makes all the difference in the world. You ignorant — I can’t even write a word, now, appropriately describing your venality, your decadence, your arrogance, your caustic dismissal of four American deaths.
Yet, despite this information being out for two days now, do you see the information splayed across the front pages of newspapers or on the various television channels?
The terror attack on a U.S. outpost in Libya was preceded by security cutbacks authorized at the “highest levels” of the State Department, and the Obama administration’s explanation in the immediate aftermath of the fatal assault was altered to protect the agency, House Republicans said in a report on the issue released Tuesday.
The 43-page report is the work of five House committees and concludes that decisions to scale back security at the Benghazi, Libya, outpost went all the way up to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Ladies and gentlemen, you can’t get any more clear or succinct than that. And yet, most American’s haven’t a clue that a damning finger is now officially indicating that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton LIED under oath.
And, further damning:
A Republican aide told Fox News that Rice’s script was “altered” to protect the State Department for the inadequate security.
A source told Fox News the leaders of the House committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, Judiciary and Oversight have seen the emails about changing the talking points but are still trying to acquire them.
But the final point:
Clinton, testifying before Congress in the final weeks of her tenure, took responsibility for the department’s missteps and failures leading up to the assault. But she insisted that requests for more security at the diplomatic mission in Benghazi didn’t reach her desk, and reminded lawmakers that they have a responsibility to fund security-related budget requests.
A LIE. An out-and-out bald-faced LIE.
And guess what?
She will skate and Obaka will skate and the Demorats will skate. Because we no longer have a media willing to support the country in which in resides.
As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.
This has been most obvious in the context of recent mass shootings. In those awful episodes, a religious or ethnic minority group lacking such privilege would likely be collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse) if some of its individuals comprised most of the mass shooters. However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.
Likewise, in the context of terrorist attacks, such privilege means white non-Islamic terrorists are typically portrayed not as representative of whole groups or ideologies, but as “lone wolf” threats to be dealt with as isolated law enforcement matters. Meanwhile, non-white or developing-world terrorism suspects are often reflexively portrayed as representative of larger conspiracies, ideologies and religions that must be dealt with as systemic threats — the kind potentially requiring everything from law enforcement action to military operations to civil liberties legislation to foreign policy shifts.
Right.
Once again, Caucasoids are fundamentally responsible for the consummate ills of the world, millions of years ago and now.
