BENGHAZI: PROTECTING THE THRONE
Connelly
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 ops 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 You Tube 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.
