Benghazigate produces a whiff of tyranny
PowerLine ^ | October 29, 2012 | Paul Mirengoff

In our posts about Benghazigate, we have focused on (1) the failure of the Obama administration to provide needed (and requested) security in Benghazi, (2) the Obama administration’s refusal to call for military assistance when our personnel were under deadly attack, and (3) the adminstration’s unwillingness to speak honestly about the attack in the days following it and, it appears, even until this day.

Bill Otis identifies a fourth issue, albeit one that’s related to the third: the Department of Justice’s persecution of the producer of an internet video that offends Muslims. The persecution consists of charging the producer with a probabtion violation.

Based on his decades of service as a federal prosecutor, Bill tells me that that probation violators routinely get a pass on violations far more serious and suggestive of renewed criminality than making a perfectly legal (and, some would think, First Amendment-protected) video. But the producer of this particular video was hustled off to the slammer in no time.

The government’s motive is not difficult to discern. As Bill explains, Team Obama wanted to maintain, and embellish upon, its campaign narrative that anti-American terrorists have been largely vanquished, and that the attack Benghazi was not terrorism, but rather a spontaneous response to an internet video mocking Islam. Hence, the use of our criminal justice system to imprison the producer of the video on the pretext of violating the terms of his probation, which included an agreement not to use the internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.

In any other context, the imprisonment of a non-violent probationer for exercising his right to make a non-pornographic internet video would have leftists screaming about tyranny. In most instances this howling would be baseless. But where, as here, the motive for jailing the probationer is so transparently political, the word tyranny does come to mind.

I have to leave today so I'm not going to get to FReep much but I agree with where you're headed now that I've seen a few more of your posts on this. 0coward or Hillbilly or both were directly behind the making and promotion of this 'video' from the get go. Have you seen what Montagraph has done in the way of tracking the internet footprints of the 'video?'

False Flag, Currently Underway ?

It's easy to dismiss Montagraph as some kind of flake but I think it's a little harder to dismiss the information he presents. And there is also this guy's parallel investigation...

Body of lies from Benghazi to Barack

Wish I could spend the day working on this but I will read all you've got when I get back and work with you to put as much of this together as we can. I hope you'll read all the links I put in above if you haven't already. The only way we're going to find any seeds of truth in this is to sift through a mountain of chaff.

No doubt, in Obama and the Hildabeast’s mind, there is a “Lubyanka” prison in many of our futures.

I am reminded of the imprisonment of Zhores Medvedev, a Soviet scientist who objected to his communications with foreign scientists being monitored and censored (among other issues). Medvedev was sent to a mental institution and diagnosed as schizophrenic in 1970. The Soviets used this technique to silence many dissenters. Looks like Hillary is taking a page out of their book.

We’re Americans though not psychologically beaten Russian peasants. Try that there here and there will be a guerrilla insurgency war like the world has never seen before.

I hate the whole idea of it but, yes, that is as it should be.
