THE 1stAMENDMENT WAS MURDERED IN BENGHAZI TOO
- Earlier this week, in an astonishing admission of dereliction during
an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, ABC News Senior White House
Correspondent, Jake Tapper, blamed the failure of the mainstream media
to cover the Benghazi story before the election on “intense
politicization” of the story, saying that it was because of “republican
conspiracy theories” that made it impossible for he and the leftist,
pro-Obama media to do its job. Tapper also said that one
of the reasons the leftist media was guilty of journalistic malpractice
in covering the murder of four Americans by terrorists was because they
“didn’t want to interfere with the Obama Administrations positive
narrative about Al Qaeda”.
Now,
AP Columnists Kim Dozier and Nedra Pickler have published an insidious
and deceptive story claiming that the reason Obama and members of his
administration were justified in lying to the American people about the
Benghazi attack was because he was attempting to implement a covert
response against the terrorists and did not want to, in their words,
“tip them off” to his retaliatory plans.

NEW YORK, NY-
The re-election of Barack Obama and defense of his illegitimate
executive power has become more important than protecting the lives of
innocent Americans, according the liberal mainstream media. Defending
Obama’s lies in order to see him achieve his liberal aspirations was
more important than protecting American security and providing the truth
about the September 11 murder of four innocent Americans, including
Ambassador Chris Stevens, at the hands of terrorist enemies in Benghazi,
Libya.
Despite
former CIA director David Petraeus' testimony in closed hearings Friday
that he has always believed the September 11 attack on a U.S. mission
complex in Benghazi, Libya, was an act of terrorism and that it was not a
result of a spontaneous demonstration, Obama’s media defenders are
toiling to provide excuses for Obama’s failures to respond as well as
his outright lies that the attack was the result of a YouTube video.
Intelligence
reports also show that Patraeus’ agency actually named specific
terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda, as those responsible for
the attack in its initial reports sent to the Obama administration
during and immediately following the attack.
It
has since been discovered, however, that the content of those reports
were altered by unnamed personnel in the Obama administration in order
to omit references to specific terrorist groups and implications that
the attack was anything other than a spontaneous protest over the
YouTube video, which at least five high ranking members of the Obama
Administration explicitly blamed for the attack, including Barack Obama,
himself.
Investigators
believe the Obama administration removed references to terrorist groups
prior to the election in order to convey a positive public narrative
about Obama’s success against Al-Qaeda after exaggerating his own role
in the alleged killing of Osama Bin Laden in May, 2011.
However,
the ultra-liberal media has once again been caught altering facts and
telling blatant lies in its coverage of the content of testimony given
to congress by Patraeus. In an article published on November 16, Associated Press columnists, Kim Dozier and Nedra Pickler wrote the following:
“Ex-CIA
Director David Petraeus told lawmakers Friday that classified
intelligence showed the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a
terrorist attack, but that the
administration withheld the suspected role of specific al-Qaida
affiliates to avoid tipping off the terrorist groups.”
The
latter half of this paragraph is a lie. An originally published story
before Dozier’s and Pickler’s shows that General Patraeus made no such
statement about what he believed were the reasons for why the Obama
administration lied about the circumstances surrounding the Benghazi
attack or why the official CIA reports released just hours after the
attack were altered. Dozier and Pickler simply made that part up. They continued:
“The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were
removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not
to tip off the groups that the U.S. intelligence community was on their
trail, according to lawmakers who attended the private briefings.
Again, Dozier and Pickler invent facts to suit the pro-Obama narrative. The actual released story originally published from reliable media sources appeared as follows:
"WASHINGTON
-- Ex-CIA Director David Petraeus told lawmakers during private
hearings Friday that he believed all along that the deadly attack on the
U.S. consulate in Libya was a terrorist strike, even though that wasn't
how the Obama administration initially described it publicly.
The
retired four-star general addressed the House and Senate intelligence
committees as questions continue to persist over what the Obama
administration knew in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks
and why their public description did not match intelligence agencies'
assessments.
Lawmakers
said Petraeus testified that the CIA's draft talking points written in
response to the assault on the diplomat post in Benghazi that killed
four Americans referred to it as a terrorist attack. But Petraeus told
the lawmakers that reference was removed from the final version,
although he wasn't sure which federal agency took out the reference.
Democrats
said Petraeus made it clear the change was not made for political
reasons during President Barack Obama's re-election campaign."
Notice,
at no point in the original version of the AP story does it mention
anything about the Obama administration changing CIA intelligence
reports in order to avoid “tipping off” the terrorists. Patraeus
made no such statement about the reasons for changing the reports
because there is no way for him to know why the original CIA reports on
the attack were altered by anyone in the administration.
Earlier
this week, in an astonishing admission of dereliction during an
interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, ABC News Senior White House
Correspondent, Jake Tapper, blamed the failure of the mainstream media
to cover the Benghazi story before the election on “intense
politicization” of the story, saying that it was because of “republican
conspiracy theories” that made it impossible for he and the leftist,
pro-Obama media to do its job.
That’s
right, a member of one of the largest and long standing media
organizations in America blamed politicians for his failure to do his
job. According to Tapper, the government now rules over the “free press” in America. No more truth will be spoken against our government’s lust for power. The pursuit of truth is officially dead among the American press.
Essentially, Tapper admitted that the 1stAmendment is dead. He
believes that journalists in his organization, as well as all of the
press, are willing to allow the government to dictate which stories are
newsworthy to the media based on political ideology. He
admitted that political interests and selfish dominion of power by
politicians are being permitted to rule over the media and that he and
his colleagues were helpless to provide any information or facts about
the Benghazi tragedy in any viable manner, whatsoever.
Shockingly,
Tapper also said that one of the reasons the leftist media was guilty
of journalistic malpractice in covering the murder of four Americans by
terrorists was because they “didn’t want to interfere with the Obama
Administrations positive narrative about Al Qaeda”.
He
actually admitted that the despicable letches in our press were less
willing to provide critical information about what our government was
doing about terrorist attacks against Americans than help a radical
regime and bowing liberal consensus achieve an electoral orgasm.
Let’s hope Tapper and his delusional band are proud of their accomplishment. Obama’s re-election cost the lives of four innocent Americans and blood of countless others. Good job.
In
their pathetic defense of the Obama Administration, Dozier and Pickler
claim that the Obama administration was justified in lying about the
identity of those responsible for the Benghazi attack because it did not
want those same terrorists to know that the Obama Administration knew
it was them. Therefore, says Dozier and Pickler, the Obama
administration chose to tell the world a lie claiming the attack and
Obama’s failed response, which resulted in the murder of four innocent
Americans, was the result a protest by offended Muslims over an obscure
YouTube video.
However,
in their placatory misinformation, Dozier and Pickler fail to explain
two events not covered by Patraeaus’ testimony, which proves that the
Obama administration intentionally lied about the Benghazi attack in
order to protect Obama’s retention of executive power leading up to the
2012 election.
By
their false account, the lies told by the Obama administration about
Benghazi were so justified and intellectually elaborate that the
calculated deception actually required the unwarranted arrest and
terrorization of an innocent American, based on trumped up charges.
In
defending Obama’s lies, Dozier and Pickler fail to describe the reasons
why, upon blaming an obscure YouTube video, the Obama administration
then also felt it was necessary to go sin-sniffing and actually imprison
the alleged film maker, Mark Basseley Youssef. Apparently,
according to these two liars, this extension of the Obama deception was
so sophisticated that it was a required part of “not tipping off “ the terrorists that the administration was on to them.
If
Dozier and Pickler had done their job as journalist instead of allowing
their deranged ideological lusts to control their perspective, they
would have discovered that US District Judge Christina Snyder dropped
half the minor charges against Youssef before finding him guilty on even
lesser charges of violating his parole and using an alias! That’s
right…when all was said and done, after all the destruction Youssef
allegedly caused with his “offensive and disgusting” video in Benghazi,
resulting in the murder of four Americans, he was convicted of the
“capital offense” of using an alias!
Youssef was not arrested for parole violations. The
fact is, these leftist liars didn’t even consider that the Obama
administration sought to arrest Youssef, using the video as an excuse,
in order to uphold Obama’s lies to the American people, not implement a
covert response to the terrorists.
Steven
Seiden, Youssef’s lawyer said after trial, “All sides accepted that
none of the charges had anything to do with the anti-Muslim content of
the film.”
Seidens
account seems to suggest that his client was arrested as part of scheme
by the Obama administration to hide the fact that a terrorist group was
responsible for the Benghazi attack.
Had
they done their job correctly, Dozier and Pickler would have also
discovered there has been no explanation to the public about any
specific violations by Youssef or which terms of his alleged probation
he actually violated, or what the terms of his original probation
actually were. As far as the public knows, Youssef could
have been arrested for jaywalking, a charge which federal authorities
were able to then trump into a probation violation at the behest of
Obama lap dog Attorney General, Eric Holder.
According
to Randy Kreider of ABC News, "Officials stressed during court
proceedings that the movie's contents and impact had no bearing on
Youssef's case. After a prosecutor said 'he's not here because of the content of the movie,' the judge agreed.”
Then why was Youssef arrested? What evidence did authorities have to file charges before the arrest and what were those charges?
TERRORISTS: WE DID IT, BUT DON’T TELL OBAMA
But,
the biggest lie Dozier and Pickler tell is that the terrorists were on
the run and hiding from a heroic Obama superhero after the attack, yet
they refuse to acknowledge that same superhero's failure to prevent
attacks in the month before despite having mountains of warnings, intel
reports and requests for additional security.
According
to Dozier and Pickler, no action or lie by the Obama administration
thus far is punishable because, in their absurd view, the terrorists
might have become wise to the fact that they were found out by the very
same government and intelligence personnel they had attacked?
The
problem with this excuse is that the terrorists, themselves, admitted
to the attack by posting a confession on a worldwide social media site,
Facebook, within 24 hours.
Maybe
Dozier and Pickler thought that since the terrorists didn’t “friend”
Obama, they might be able to hide their murderous deeds amidst a billion
teenagers and fraternity pledges. Or, maybe Dozier and
Pickler believed Secretary of State Clinton when she weaseled off that
something posted on the internet is not proof of anything.
Or, maybe these idiots thought the terrorists posted on Facebook, “We did it…but don’t tell Obama.”
In
lying to protect Obama, Dozier and Pickler failed to realize the
preeminent fact that the terrorists were never worried about being
discovered because they publicly admitted to the attack immediately. Therefore, there is no reason for the Obama
administration to think its response should be hidden from a terrorist
group that already publicly admitted to the world that it was
responsible for murdering Ambassador Stevens and three U.S. diplomat
personnel.In
the end, the fact is that Obama, in his corrupt leftist ideology,
wanted to be re-elected without the American people having the chance to
find out the truth about his failure to prevent the deaths of four
Americans at the hands of the very same terrorists he claims to have
defeated long ago.Now,
he can sleep in the White House every night knowing he had the ability
to save Americans and he intentionally allowed them to die because of
his lust for power.We don't know about the terrorists...but Americans are on to him.
