Benghazi Update, IRS Scandal, DOJ Seizes AP Records, Another Military Sex Scandal and More!
- Benghazi Update, IRS Scandal, DOJ Seizes AP Records, Another Military Sex Scandal and More!
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
This Week’s Wrap-Up series of stories I call “Scandal-topia.” Benghazi, IRS targeting conservative groups, Department of Justice seizing phone records of the Associated Press (AP) and yet another sex abuse scandal in the U.S. military. While all of these stories are important, they are taking our eyes off other stories of great importance. Let’s run down the list:
-
Benghazi, the White House is releasing some emails, but Republicans want many more released. The left wants to paint this as a “witch hunt,” but lots of questions go unanswered. Mark Thompson, one of the Benghazi whistle-blowers, was in charge of the Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST.) This team is comprised of people like Special Ops, FBI and security experts that can go in for a rescue. Thompson’s testimony in front of Congress said FEST was “taken out of the menu of options.” There was never any intention to mount a rescue, and this was a policy decision that came very early on 9/11/12. The Accountability Review Board says you can’t blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the murder and non-rescue of four Americans. Really? The person in charge isn’t to blame?
-
Next up, the scandal involving the IRS targeting of hundreds of conservative groups. If this isn’t against the Constitution and the law, I don’t know what is. This was nothing short of an attempt to stop opposition to the Obama administration and its policies. End of story. I think Speaker of the House John Boehner got it stop on when he said, “Who’s going to jail for this?” Well, don’t hold your breath because it was just announced that the person in charge of tax-exempt organizations (Sarah Hall Ingram) just got a promotion and is going to be in charge of the IRS part of Obama Care. I cannot make this stuff up. The President said he knew nothing about this scandal until he saw news reports.
-
Then, you have the scandal involving Attorney General Eric Holder and Justice Department secretly subpoenaing the phone records of dozens of AP reporters. There was a legitimate security leak involving a foiled bombing plot in Yemen. The mainstream media seems to have finally woken up, and 50 news organizations now say it was out of line. I call it swatting a fly with a cannon. This is what it took for the media to finally wake up? The Patriot Act, NDAA, targeted drone murders and trashing of the rest of the Constitution didn’t cause a problem? That’s rich. Holder says he didn’t know anything about the AP subpoenas. What? How can that be?
-
Finally, yet another sex scandal in the military where women are charging they are being sexually assaulted. In this case, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel really does not know anything about this as he just got the job a few months ago. Still, he’s going to be the one to clean it up. This couldn’t come at a worse time. The Middle East is boiling over in places like Syria, and tensions are mounting with Iran and Israel. Let’s not forget about nuclear armed North Korea that is still simmering on a back burner.
-
Meanwhile, there is a total disconnect with the Wall Street economy and the main street economy. The real unemployment rate is 23%. 47 million Americans are on food stamps. The latest date says the economy is rolling over; and yet, the stock market is hitting fresh all-time highs.

“Astoundingly Disturbing”: Obama Administration Claims Power to Wage Endless War Across the Globe!
- Published on May 17, 2013
http://www.democracynow.org – A Pentagon official predicted Thursday the war against al-Qaeda and its affiliates could last up to 20 more years. The comment came during a Senate hearing revisiting the Authorization for Use of Military Force, or AUMF, enacted by Congress days after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. At the hearing, Pentagon officials claimed the AUMF gives the president power to wage endless war anywhere in the world, including in Syria, Yemen and the Congo. “This is the most astounding and most astoundingly disturbing hearing that I’ve been to since I’ve been here,” said Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine. “You guys have essentially rewritten the Constitution here today.” We play an excerpts of Thursday’s Senate hearing and our recent interview with Jeremy Scahill, author of the new bestseller, “Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield.”

Daniel 11:36-39 (New King James Version)
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God[a] of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.
-
38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.

Three Strikes: British-Led Plots To Pin Chemical Weapons Use on Assad as Excuse for Syria Invasion!

Three Strikes: British-Led Plots To Pin Chemical Weapons Use on Assad as Excuse for Syria Invasion!
by http://larouchepac.com/
In an article on Russia Today’s website, Patrick Henningsen, a writer, investigative journalist, filmmaker, and founder of the news website, 21stCentury Wire.com, says that so far three efforts have been made by Britain, Qatar, and the United States to lure a West-led invasion of Syria, citing Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons. Unlike the WMD lies that were used for the Iraq invasion in 2003, these three efforts have failed, putting the chemical weapons crowd in Washington and London on a very shaky ground, Henningsen concluded.
-
The first British effort was in January 2013, hatched with the help of Qatar. The plan involved a British private contractor, Britam, bringing in Qaddafi-era chemical weapons stocks from Libya, which would transfer them out via Benghazi, and then plant them in Syria, in order to place blame on the Assad government. The plan was prematurely exposed in the “Britam Leaks” by an anonymous hack showing that Qatar would be paying a substantial sum for the operation to be coordinated through Britam.
-
The second attempt was made following reports of a deadly chlorine attack in the northern region of Aleppo, with both sides claiming the other was responsible. The Aleppo case was quickly knocked down by a number of alternative media outlets.
-
The third attempt was led by British scientists who claimed they had found evidence of chemical weapons that were used in Syria in relation to two incidents in the Damascus area around March 19, 2013. With Obama threatening Syria with having crossed the “red line,” British Prime Minister David Cameron hoped that this one would help him get a green light for military intervention. That, too, failed when Carla Del Ponte, leading UN’s own investigation into chemical weapons, concluded that witness and victim testimonies clearly showed that Western and Gulf-backed Syrian rebels had used chemical weapons such as the nerve gas sarin.

Video Shows US-Backed Opposition Fighter Cannibalizing Syrian Soldier!
Warning!! Highly disturbing! Cannibalism!
- Video shows US-backed opposition fighter cannibalizing Syrian soldier!
by Alex Lantier, http://www.wsws.org/ , 16 May 2013
A gruesome video posted on YouTube shows Khalid al-Hamad, the leader of the opposition Farouq Brigade, desecrating the corpse of a Syrian soldier, cutting out his internal organs and biting into one of them.
-
The video makes clear the barbaric character of the Sunni Islamist militias Washington has mobilized in its proxy war against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The video was made to terrorize Syria’s Shiite Alawite community, from which most of the Assad government is drawn, and to encourage donations from the Farouq Brigade’s financial backers in the Persian Gulf oil sheikhdoms.
-
While desecrating the Syrian soldier’s body, an action that legally is a war crime, Hamad screams: “I swear we will eat from your hearts and livers, you dogs of Bashar… Look at the heroes of Baba Amr, slaughtering the Alawites and eating their hearts.”
-
Founded as the Syrian war began in mid-2011, the Farouq Brigade has been active around the Baba Amr area of the city of Homs, an early center of armed Islamist opposition to Assad. There are varying reports of its strength, ranging from a few thousand to 20,000 men.
-
Hamad contacted Time magazine on Tuesday to confirm that he had indeed bitten one of the dead soldier’s organs, as shown in the video. He then called for a sectarian genocide of Alawites, telling Time: “Hopefully we will slaughter all of them. I have another video clip that I will send to them. In the clip, I am sawing another shabiha [pro-Assad militiaman] with a saw, the saw we use to cut trees. I sawed him into small piece and large ones.”
-
Hamad, also known as Abu Sakkar, has also been videotaped indiscriminately firing rockets into Lebanon and posing with the corpses of fighters of Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite militia allied with Assad. Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch said, “Abu Sakkar is a very significant commander—he’s in charge of one of the most important battles happening in Syria right now.”
-
Significantly, Western officials speaking to the BBC described the Farouq Brigade as a “moderately Islamist” tendency inside the US-backed opposition, as compared to supposedly more extremist forces like the Al Nusra Front, which is affiliated to Al Qaeda.
-
This shows that current proposals in Washington to only arm “moderate” opposition forces, presented as an alternative to arming the entire opposition, including Al Nusra, are a cynical fraud. In either case, Washington and its European allies are arming war criminals calling for sectarian mass murder.
-
While Hamad’s video is particularly gruesome, numerous graphic videos posted by the US-backed opposition have made its bloody, sectarian character clear from early on. To name only a few, such videos include Sunni Sheikh Adnan al-Arour’s July 2011 threat to run Syrian Alawites through a “meat grinder,” and 2012 videos of opposition fighters beheading a prisoner and another forcing a child to do so.
-
The anti-Assad militias have all along enjoyed the support of governments, political parties and the media. The Obama administration has continued funding them to the tune of $500 million—as its Persian Gulf allies also poured money and thousands of tons of weapons into the opposition—even after Washington formally designated Al Nusra as a terrorist group last December.
-
As reports of Hamad’s video broke in the British press on Monday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that he might sanction direct military intervention in Syria to back the opposition, citing claims that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons. Allegations of chemical weapons use by Assad had already been refuted by UN investigator Carla del Ponte, who said that these weapons, used in March, were fired by the opposition.
-
The Syrian war has been enthusiastically supported by reactionary pseudo-left groups such as France’s New Anti-capitalist Party, Germany’s Left Party, and the American International Socialist Organization (ISO). Hamad’s cannibalistic video is yet another refutation of the ISO’s claim that the Syrian proxy war is a “people’s revolution for freedom and dignity.” (See “The International Socialist Organization and the imperialist onslaught against Syria”)
-
These parties have functioned as a key barrier to the development of popular opposition to the Syrian war and to its continuous promotion in the media.
-
As part of this pro-war agitation, the media has largely sought to divorce Hamad’s video from the US-led war, or to present it as an isolated incident posing a vexing obstacle to attempts by Washington and its allies to escalate the war.

- Terrorism And The Illuminati! A 3,000 Year History! by David Livingstone
Contrary to myth being fabricated, Islam does not pose a threat to the West. Rather, Islamic “terrorist” organizations have been created to serve Western imperialistic objectives. These groups are intertwined with Western power through a network of occult secret societies. This relationship dates back to sixth century BC, and the birth of the Kabbalah, in Babylon; a plot to seek world domination through the use of magic and deception.

Obama-Backed Terrorists Carry Out Public Executions in Syria
WARNING: Graphic content. Viewer discretion advised. Aimed only at documenting crimes by FSA terrorists in Syria! – http://www.Infowars.com

Warning: Graphic content (not for shock, 18+, not for faint-hearted, viewer discretion advised, aimed only at documenting crimes by FSA terrorists in Syria)
-
Three men, one of them an elderly man, are filmed sitting while blindfolded on a curb in the middle of a large public square in the northern city of al-Raqqa in Syria surrounded by a large crowd of people and by al-Qaeda affiliated jihadists belonging to the the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (the Levant), an organization resulting from the merger of Islamic State of Iraq (aka al-Qaeda in Iraq or AQI) and Jabhat al-Nusra (aka Nusra Front).
-
A statement precedes the execution, in which the jihadist claims that this sectarian-driven execution is in response to the Alawites’ and secular Sunnis’ murder of their fellow Wahhabis, whom they refer to as Sunnis.

Reality Check: IRS and AP – Obama Administration Under Fire – Ben Swann!
- Published on May 15, 2013
Ben Swann Reality Check. To call it a rough week for the Obama Administration might be an understatement. As we’ve reported, last week a huge scandal broke when the IRS admitted to unfairly targeting Tea Party and Liberty groups seeking non-profit status. On the heels of that, a new scandal has emerged regarding the secret collection of journalists’ phone records.

Obama, Cameron Hold Syria War Summit in Washington: “More Weapons for Al Qaeda”!
- Obama, Cameron Hold Syria War Summit in Washington: “More Weapons for Al Qaeda”!
by Alex Lantier and Chris Marsden, http://www.globalresearch.ca/
US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron met yesterday in Washington to step up their campaign for war in Syria and discuss interventions elsewhere in the Middle East.
-
They pledged to increase the flow of weapons to Islamist militias fighting President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, while promoting plans for talks on Syria with Russia, until now Assad’s main international backer, to be held in Geneva.
-
At a press conference after their meeting, Obama announced, “Together, we’re going to continue our efforts to increase pressure on the Assad regime, to provide humanitarian aid to the long-suffering Syrian people, to strengthen the moderate opposition, and to prepare for a democratic Syria without Bashar Assad.”
-
Washington and London are promoting their bloody proxy war in Syria with lies. Far from providing “humanitarian aid” and backing a “moderate” opposition, they are arming far-right Islamist militias with the help of Middle Eastern allies like Turkey and Saudi Arabia, whose efforts are overseen by the CIA. Proposals aired in recent weeks include imposing a so-called “no-fly zone” to destroy Syria’s air force and air defenses, and using US forces in neighboring Jordan to directly invade Syria.
-
Cameron’s pledges of tens of millions of pounds to the Syrian “rebels” made the military character of this aid clear. He said, “Britain is pushing for more flexibility in the EU arms embargo, and we will double non-lethal support to the Syrian opposition in the coming years. Armored vehicles, body armor, and power generators are about to be shipped.”
-
The meeting between Obama and Cameron comes amid a flurry of international negotiations to prepare a possible US-led war against Syria. On Thursday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet with Obama in the White House, with Syria at the top of their agenda. Erdogan has repeatedly pressed for war with Syria based on groundless claims that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons.
-
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to arrive in Moscow today for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Syria. Unnamed senior Israeli officials told the press that Netanyahu intends to ask Russia to block the shipment to Syria of a sophisticated S-300 air defense system. Such a system would reportedly have enabled Syria to shoot down the unprovoked air strikes Israel launched on the Syrian capital, Damascus, one week ago.
-
The diplomatic offensive that Washington is orchestrating against Syria is a nakedly imperialist operation. It aims to isolate Syria, eliminate its ability to defend itself against US attack, and impose a neo-colonial regime—by negotiation if possible, otherwise by force—that would consist of Washington’s right-wing Islamist proxies and turncoat elements of the Assad regime.
-
As Washington and its allies prepare for war, they continue to hope that at the Geneva talks the Russian regime might agree to a pseudo-legal ouster of Assad under threat of further US-led attacks on Syria.
-
Obama proposed to bring together “representatives of the regime and the opposition in Geneva in the coming weeks, to agree on a transitional body which would allow a transfer of power from Assad to this governing body. Meanwhile, we’ll continue to work to establish the facts around the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and those facts will help guide our next steps.”
