B******i Commission: The End Of Hillary Clinton’s Political Career
May 12, 2014 7:14 pm



There are very ‘good’ reasons why the House Democrats are making threats of boycotting the recently approved commission on the B******i attack. All of them know that President Obama and the Secretary of State at the time, Hillary Clinton, did not properly discharge their duties during the attack.

“Unforeseen consequences” and “unpredictable twists and turns” had nothing to do with her failure to secure the compound or to send adequate security to protect it. Rather, she got every sort of warning from her own ambassador, the State Department, the CIA and the Defense Department. She just failed to act on them.”[1]

Four Americans may have died needlessly including John Christopher Stevens, an American diplomat and lawyer who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Libya from June 2012 to September 12, 2012. His death was not only a humiliating defeat for the USA, it was a violent spectacle which most Americans do not understand how it could have happened.


Happen it did on Hillary Clinton’s watch, a prospective p**********l candidate who just could become the Commander-in Chief. Her reaction to cross examination during the first Senate inquiry by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is perhaps the best evidence that something very wrong happened during that fateful evening of September 11, 2012. Her behavior does not seem to be demonstrative of a future leader of the US Armed Forces. The following YouTube video captures the heart of her testimony which will surely come back to haunt her for years to come.

Anyone watching this video can easily see the dissembling and evasion by which Secretary Clinton answered the questions put forth to her. Many of her former Senate colleagues were mortified by her conduct in light of the seriousness of the investigation. The Republican side is now fully aware that evidence exists which will incriminate Ms. Clinton in the mishandling of the whole affair. And that the ensuing cover-up is always what does the most political damage.

The B******i debacle is much more serious than the media has reported.

Time does have a way of revealing the t***h of the matter, and the slow drip of B******i revelations will only increase until the midterm e******ns. Because Ms. Clinton has not come clean since the very beginning, she now sits in a very awkward and vulnerable position. How so?

Any political pundit would objectively observe that Ms. Clinton, based on all the information that is available in the public domain, appears to be guilty of criminal neglect in her capacity of Secretary of State. That verdict is based on the fact that the predicament was allowed to occur in the first place. Simply put, a US Ambassador’s many solicitations for protection were ignored by his boss in DC.

“When you read the various pieces and bits of information she received in the weeks and months prior to the attack, it is hard to see how they could have been any more blunt or explicit in warning of the likelihood of future terror attacks in B******i.”[1]

And that is the best case scenario for Secretary Clinton. The worst case is where she and her office ignored every plea for help up to and including the night of the attack on the American diplomatic mission at B******i, in Libya. Someone going even so far as to order available units to stand down makes this situation even worse.

Of course, the cover-up is where things have really gotten messy for Secretary Clinton. Which is why her Republican inquisitors are so determined to get to the bottom of things. They can only tolerate so much obfuscation, non-compliance and irresponsible behavior on the part of the White House before the American people start to call them on it. The longer this whole sordid affair d**gs on, the worse it’s going to be for everyone involved in the Obama Adminstration, especially Hillary Clinton.

As an aspiring p**********l nominee, candidate Clinton will necessarily be held up to a much higher standard than she has been in her previous roles. Her stint at State is the only one she can point to as demonstrating her abilities to handle foreign affairs. In light of President Obama’s string of foreign affair fiascos, she will be hard-pressed to bring the necessary gravitas to the role of president in this particular regard.

Even for diehard Democrats, there is the distinct sentiment that Ms Clinton is not up to the task. Her responses to so many challenges, both personal and political, over the years reveal a woman who is often petty, vindictive and unaccountable. Truly, her place in the White House is as an ex First Lady who gave it her best.

“For Clinton now to say that she did the best she could on the basis of “imperfect information” and to blame the tragic outcome on “unforeseen consequences and unpredictable twists and turns” is such an act of distortion of the record that it takes one’s breath away.”[1]

Ms. Clinton ought to look at the B******i hearing as an opportunity to listen to the many reasons she should not even consider running for president. Undoubtedly, she will hear things that will embarrass her and her office at State. Truly, so many things happened that should not have under her watch. Just as many things did not occur in B******i that should have for the protection of four Americans who died.

Things have made much worse by the White House response.

Subsequent attempts to acquire pertinent correspondence from the White House about the B******i attack and US Government response have been met with continual stonewalling and denial. The Press Secretary has lost all credibility with the both the Press Corp and the public. The key players have only acted in a way which would lead those investigating this serious matter that a full scale cover-up has been operative since day one.

At the end of the day, both Secretary Clinton and President Obama will be held directly responsible for this cover-up, as well as the obvious negligence up to and including the attacks. Each ought to be held accountable for their actions by the Congress and the Mainstream Media (MSM). Unfortunately the MSM has both supported Secretary Clinton’s narrative and enabled her reprehensible conduct at every turn.

However, with the midterm e******ns around the corner pointing to a GOP landslide, the political chessboard is about to be rearranged in a way that will not bode well for Candidate Clinton. The US e*****rate is not so clueless that they would elect a nominee who has baggage of this serious nature. Truly, the whole B******i affair does not reflect well on anyone in the Obama Administration, especially the Secretary of State.

The question remains: Does Hillary Clinton understand that the powers that be are using the B******i Commission to send her a message? Perhaps she will get it before her first answers are rendered before a congressional inquiry that promises to be bigger and badder than Watergate.

Nothing sticks to the Clintons, they are Teflon. Also since we have already had 7? different reviews of this, and nothing has been a "smoking gun", nothing will be a smoking gun. Are there any charges against her?

I think it sort of sad that she followed Obama's lead. She sure missed her 3 AM moment and Obama missed his as she stated while campaigning.

The democrats are a very giving group of people aren't they. Not only do they give us trickle down poverty but they also give us trickle down scandals. If we can get to all of those that the democrats have in their witness protection program we will probably uncover even more. The only problem with the democrats witness protection program is that they are not protecting them so they can testify but rather to keep them from testifying.

I AM NOT for Hillary Clinton....or ANY candidate running.

BUT.....when this campaign is being waged against her, when is there going to be mention of George Bush and Iraq and Afghanistan....and how many AMERICANS dead...in the thousands....along with hundreds of thousands of Afghanis and Iraqis.......... plus both countries turned into a nuclear dumps because of the coating of depleted uranium on shells.
WHEN will that be brought to the front.....along with the fact that the whole reasoning of that war was based on nothing but lies......and the desire for one of Cheney's companies for a pipeline across Afghanistan (just like recently in Syria where Cheney and the Rothschilds and their company, Genie Oil, wanted to run a pipeline). SO....golly....let's send the US to war AGAIN to pay for it. If you didn't know.....that pipeline in Afghanistan was finished......and most US troops withdrew. But....the Chinese out bid for the oil.....and ALL the US efforts, all the dead from our country, ALL the trillions of dollars..........for WHAT?
TO MAKE MONEY FOR A BUNCH OF POLITICIANS; CORPORATIONS; GREEDY, FAT, OLD MEN WHO NEVER, NEVER WENT TO WAR, ETC.

I am SO BLEEPING TIRED OF THIS INSTANITY......instead of taking care of the problems of this country and its people.

I AM a registered Republican, and have been for most of my life. But, this party, as it is today, makes me want to puke, puke, puke. I am ASHAMED of the Republican party!

There was a time when politicians, as rotten as they were, STILL put the business of this country FIRST above everything else...........and this country, at least, to some degree, functioned. Today, it doesn't function at all.....except by executive decree......used by a president who should be impeached.......because Congress and the Senate have done absolutely NOTHING since O was elected.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THEM ALLL.....BUT MOST OF ALL, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS S**T FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. IT IS STUPID............IT IS IN THE PAST......

BUT.....IT IS TIME FOR THIS GOVERNMENT TO FUNCTION.....INSTEAD OF DWELLING ON ONE SUBJECT TO INFLUENCE AN E******N TWO YEARS IN THE FUTURE. WHAT KIND OF FOOL WOULD WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS IDIOCY FOR TWO MORE YEARS.

IF THIS COUNTRY MATTERS TO YOU.....CONTACT YOUR "POLITICANS" AND TELL THEM TO REBUILD THIS COUNTRY........INSTEAD OF LETTING IT DECAY TWO MORE YEARS.....AND DRIFT INTO MORE OF THE INSANE CESS POOL IN WHICH IT NOW EXITS.

I LOVE MY COUNTRY............NOT A POLITICAL PARTY.

AND NEITHER PARTY BRINGS EVEN A MODICUM OF SANITY THOSE TO WHO THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE....THE PEOPLE......because they are "bought and paid for"....and have NO allegiance to anyone but those who fund their e******ns and re-e******ns............and folks, it sure as heck ain't US....the American public.

Why am I SO incensed today? I am tired of it ALL....and only want to see this country alive and well....and progressing.......instead of mired up to its knees in foolishness that accomplishes absolutely NOTHING.

I hope Jesse Ventura runs with a third party....he's no perfect choice by any means......but there might be a modicum of hope that he cares about this country. I sure as heck don't want to v**e for any of the other fools on center stage...or in the wings.....ALL just more of a rehash of decades past.

Well, I am 71, and I can guarantee you that it sure as heck as NEVER gotten better. I am usually the "eternal optimist", but politics is one area where it eternally proves me wrong.

And, why? The American people sit on their asses and do nothing but complain, b***h, cry foul, and NEVER call, write, email of perform any act of activism.....except sitting in their easy chairs, taking another sip of the brew, and clicking to another TV channel....

The PEOPLE....en masse....need to organize......and DEMAND:

1. Return and strengthening of FCC rules on media ownership and management. (Ex. after Bush was elected, Colin Powell's son was head of FCC....and the all regulations were removed. So, now 6 corporations with fewer than 300 executives control 90% of the news.
Also....the ruling used to be that no more than 4 commercials could run every 15 minutes. NOW....they run up 13 and sometimes 14. How's that for an increase, not only in influence (since the corps control news content)....but in profits.......up to 300%.
2. Get rid of the Federal Reserve and set up our own banking system. This will destroy "The Crown"...that controls the world through the BIS, the IMF, and ALL the Federal Reserves around the world.....and finances all the wars, the military industrial complexes, and all reconstructions.....for a little profit, one might say.
3. A Constitutional Amendment forbidding anything other than individual contributions to political campaigns with NO Super Pacs or other organizations set up to influence the e*****rate.
4. Reinstate and strengthen the Banking Act of 1933...to avoid EVER having another 1929 or 2008.....which the Fed organized BOTH times.....through manipulating interest rates, bond rates, the House, the Senate, and the presidents.
5. Confiscate ALL funds owned by The Crown, the Bank of International Settlements, and the International Monetary Fund...........and set up a world bank only obligated to IMPROVE the world instead of destroy it for the profit of a few.

As for "CHANGE"....I've had enough of the kind promised by O...........and anyone else making "empty beyond belief promises".....I want change I can see, and feel, and know is good for my country............not lies.......again...and again....and again.

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK...........and we aren't gonna get it back by dwelling on the past.

We WILL get it back by uniting and TAKING IT BACK....

AND WE CAN....

The Republicans who cut $12B out of State's budget have blood on their hands. Clinton had to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Then Peter gets whacked and the Republicans ask:

Why was Peter robbed?

To pay Paul, i***t!

Why did you steal $12B? You have blood on your hands!

This Goofy investigation will have about the same effect as the many v**es to defund the ACA, just another teabagger fart in the wind, a rude noise and foul stink that accomplish nothing but further tainting the reputation of the republican party. Hillary is pretty likely to be our next president and this is nothing but a hail Mary pass by the Republicans attempting to tarnish her image. It will fail and do nothing but waste time and money.

Trey Gowdy had some remarks for the media. It was on video also but I am not computer savvy enough to copy it on here.

Congressman Trey Gowdy utterly shamed the mainstream media (aka: OMG – Obama Media Group) in only three minutes in this press conference (Watch Video Below).

And how does he do it? Does he use the left’s Alinsky-like tactics of demonization, name-calling (“Teabaggers, terrorists, bomb-throwers, comes to mind)? Nope.

He simply asks them, pointedly, in this press conference about the newly-formed House B******i Select Committee, a series of very specific questions, with the obvious implication that if the media doesn’t know the answer to these questions, they haven’t been doing their job because they remain unanswered 20 months after the terrorist attack.

Gowdy begins his powerful statement by immediately quoting, word-for-word, Obama’s promise to the nation following the attacks:
“We will not waiver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act in B******i. And make no mistake, justice will be done.” That was the President of the United States over a year ago. “We’re investigating exactly what happened, but my biggest priority now is bringing those folks to justice.” That was the President of the United States over a year ago.
Gowdy points out that that both of Obama’s promises are broken as no one has been brought to justice, explaining that the Obama regime has prohibited witnesses from testifying about B******i. “No one has been brought to justice. We don’t even have access to witnesses,” Gowdy said.

Gowdy then went into his classic questioning mode, telling them that while he’s not trying to tell the media how to do their job, if they don’t know the answers to these questions, in regards to B******i, then he would leave them to draw their own conclusions:
I’m not telling you how to do your job, but I’m going to ask you some questions, and if you can’t answer these questions, then I’ll leave you to draw wh**ever conclusions you want to draw about whether the media has provided sufficient oversight:
Can you tell me why [Ambassador] Chris Stevens was in B******i that he was k**led? Do you know? Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in B******i?
Do you know why we were the last f**g flying in B******i, after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed?
Do you know why requests for additional security were denied? Do you know why an ambassador asking for more security, days and weeks before he was murdered and those requests went unheeded? Do you know the answer to why those requests went unheeded?
Do you know why no assets were deployed during the siege? And I’ve heard the explanation, which defies logic, frankly, that we could not have gotten there in time. But you know they didn’t know when it was going to end, so how can you possibly cite that as an excuse?
Do you know whether the president called any of our allies and said, can you help, we have men under attack? Can you answer that?
Do any of you know why Susan Rice was picked [to go on five Sunday talk shows after the attacks]? The Secretary of State [Hillary Clinton] did not go. She says she doesn’t like Sunday talk shows. That’s the only media venue she does not like, if that’s true. Why was Susan Rice on the five Sunday talk shows?
Do you know the origin of this mythology, that it was spawned as a spontaneous reaction to a video? Do you know where that started?
Do you know where we got from no evidence on that, to that being the official position of the administration?
Gowdy then concludes his brief statement by blasting the press for not doing their job, while getting a last jab in at Obama, Hillary Clinton and Jay Carney:
In conclusion, Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the v**ers are supposed to provide oversight, and you were supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and that’s why you have special protections.

I’m not surprised that the President of the United States called this a phony scandal. I’m not surprised that Secretary Clinton would ask what difference does it make. I’m not even surprised that Jay Carney said it happened a long time ago. I’m just surprised at how many people bought it.

I answered Gowdy before and I will answer again:

This was a CIA operation that Steven's wanted to help. He was in charge of the operation and responsible for security. He probably did not want a bunch of guards to scare off m*****as from whom he was trying to buy surface-to-air missiles. There are no questions to be answered.

State was just a cover. It was not an embassy or a consulate. I was an outpost for one purpose.

Here is a link to the Gowdy embarrassment of the media. He will be able to do the same thing to the Democrats at the commission meetings since they know only Democrat talking points.
