Beyond Impeachment: Obama Treasonous over Benghazi

Posted By Roger L Simon On October 29, 2012 @ 12:01 am

Is it treason when you put your own reelection above the good of your country and the lives of its citizens? If so, Barack Obama committed treason in leaving the four Americans to die in Benghazi.

Our Constitution defines it this way: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

Aid and comfort to the enemy — what is that?

When you ascribe an action to the protest of a video when it is actuality a planned terror attack by Ansar al-Shariah, an established offshoot of al-Qaeda (if that’s not your “enemy,” then who) — and you knew that all along, you watched it live without doing anything, and then you told those who wanted to help to “stand down”? Meanwhile, our government may have been conspiring to arm another offshoot of al-Qaeda in Syria.

How much more treasonous can you get? Benedict Arnold was a piker.

Did Obama withhold Cross-Border Authority?

Please help me. I am trying as hard as I can to get out the word about cross-border authority. I just can't believe reporters don't know enough to ask the right questions! It's infuriating. Libya, as far as standing down the rescue, is 100% Obama's show, and nobody else's. Only he can grant CBA, not Biden, not Panetta, not Dempsey, not Hillary, and certainly not Ham in Germany.

The entire episode is explained perfectly inside the context of not granting CBA. The CIA QRF in Tripoli? No problem, send them on the local Tripoli station chief's say-so. He merely informs up COC that he has done so. CCs them so to speak. "This is what I am doing." Ditto if Predators were in country, no problem using them.

But the big rescue air armada streaming toward Libya right away after the alarm got to Stuttgart and Africom? That has to stop. I believe at the 5pm meeting with Panetta and Biden in the Oval Office, he said, "No outside military intervention," on the basis that the last report was the "lull" from the consulate, at about 1030 p.m. in Benghazi, when the attack appeared to be over and the situation stabilizing.

(As a soft exception, Obama may have authorized sending an unarmed Predator from outside of Libya, but I am thinking the two Predators were already in-country, and hence available to use within “no CBA granted” rules.)

"No outside military intervention" equals "no cross-border authority" and that constitutes "standing orders" until POTUS changes them. Nobody else can “un-decide” the POTUS decree. The rescue air-armada of C-17s, C-130s and SOF helos like MH-47 Chinooks and Pavehawks cannot proceed directly to Libya without CBA being granted, so instead they are all staged at Sigonella, Sicily.

USN ships are in position to "lilypad" helos for long over-water flights. Airborne tankers are coming into position. SOF forces in Sigonella are going over their gear for different contingencies. Fuming all night as officers keep checking in with operational commanders. "Hold in place, no rescue yet. We can't find the President, it sounds like," say the colonels to the majors and captains. 100s of military must know about this. I keep waiting for the conclusive whistle-blowers to come forward BEFORE the election. After won't matter, it will be for the historians.

Panetta is falling on his sword for Obama with his absurd-on-its-face, "The military doesn't do risky things" defense of no rescue. Panetta is destroying his future reputation entirely, to save Obama. The question is why? Loyalty?

Petreaus was probably "used" in some way early, about the supposed CIA intel link to the Mohammed video, and now he feels burned. So he conclusively said via his PAO, "The stand-down order did not come from CIA." Well, what is higher than CIA? Only White House. Obama, nobody else. Petreaus is naming Obama without naming him.

Now, as far as Obama / Huma Abedin / Valerie Jarrett etc actually wanting Ambassador Stevens dead, to terminate the end of the very dirty Libyan arms to Syrian AQ programs, I can't speculate. Obama is not competent enough I'm thinking.

But for sure, the ambassador going to unsecure Benghazi on 9-11 of all days stinks to me of a setup. You can bet Stevens would have told the Turks, "No, 9-11 is not a good day for us," and stayed in Tripoli behind many high and thick walls. For him to go to dangerous Benghazi on 9-11 means the Turks totally insisted, but why would they care about the meeting date, unless they were in on a “hit” as the Judas goat?

Alternatively, ordering Stevens to meet the Turks in Benghazi on 9-11 may have come from down OUR chain of command. Stevens seems to have been wearing two hats as ambassador and CIA arms shipper. Moving between more-secure Tripoli, the Benghazi "consulate," and the CIA "annex." So orders to him might come down the State or the CIA commo channels, or both. I am unclear on his job title and true position, but either the CIA or State sends him final instructions. How this works with “dual-hatted” ambassadors, I haven’t a clue.

But Stevens meeting the Turks at the unsecure Benghazi "consulate" on 9-11 stinks to me of a deliberate setup. The Turks left the meeting and probably flashed their headlights to the attack team commanders lurking in shadows. A coded text, a word on a phone, meaning, "The ambassador is there, with minimal security: proceed with the attack plan."

But that is all pure speculation. What I know FOR SURE is that the big "stand down order" issue revolves around granting or withholding cross-border authority.

Every SOF officer and ops officer all the way up has this drummed into his head. We can make Obama respond to this question, even if reporters must shout it at him while he's doing storm cleanup photo ops. If the reporters KNOW enough to ask the quesion. That's why I am shouting all over the internet about CBA.

I can't believe cross-border authority permission is not one of the top discussion points about Benghazi.

That, and who "set him up" by sending him to Beghazi to meet the Turks on 9-11, with them leaving after dark.

And of course, down the road, was the military rescue-in-progress turned back because Obama actually wanted to make sure the consulate was wiped out? Is that why the spooks at the annex were refused permission to travel the under one mile to intervene? That would connect it all together, but for now, the best focus is on Obama either granting or withholding cross-border authority for the rescue.

Feel free to repost these musings of a long-ago SOF officer anywhere you please.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

This has nothing to do with mere election concerns. Their stripping security from a high risk area consulate, refusing to send military assets in for extraction, and the other shady dealings that led up to this clearly AIDED Al Queda in its attack and the subsequent deaths of American citizens.

Try him in Court. Find him guilty. Apply the appropriate penalty...

Dear God...let this nightmare called obama be gone soon from leadership. Let him be voted out of our house on Nov 6th. Our country has suffered enough under a man who was sworn to protect and defend us. He has done nothing but divide the races, promote job loss, promote hatred like I can’t believe and does not love America as he should. He bows to others and apologies for us. No...you do NOT apologize for us. You should be apologize and begging on your knees for forgiveness from the 4 Americans you watched die. This whole excuse for an administration needs to go and God willing they will come election time. America has suffered much in the past and they have rebounded but...we deserve so much more than the last few years.

Unfortunately, it seems as though our country has not repented, as a whole, yet, as seen by the polling numbers. If we had, I believe there would be a true landslide in the amount of voter turnout and those voting against this evil.

Until the majority of our country humbles themselves (ourselves), repent, and cry out to the One True God (Judeo Christian God), then I fear we have not seen anything near as bad as it could/can get.

Is it treason when you put your own reelection above the good of your country and the lives of its citizens?

if the answer is yes, then every congress person and president who have initiated and passed laws contrary to Constitutional Law that also only benefit selected groups who contribute on a quid-pro-quo (an unsaid common practice) basis to any politician's election and reelections are guilty of treason. Clearly, the dominant politician's mind set of today is to get elected for personal gain and doing something commendable and positive for our country is rarely their motivation.

The hidden real truth about Benghazi

Comment on this article at Canada Free Press

By Douglas J. Hagmann

26 October 2012: Most people know that we’ve been lied to about the attacks in Benghazi, but few realize the extent of those lies or the hidden secrets they cover. After all, the lie is different at every level. Thanks to a well placed source with extensive knowledge about the attack, the disturbing truth is slowly beginning to emerge and is lining up with information contained in my previous articles published here weeks ago. The truth reveals the most serious situation in the world today as it involves the interests and destinies of us all.

A mosaic of lies

According to the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed during a spontaneous protest at the consulate office in Benghazi by a frenzied crowd of Muslims outraged over an obscure internet video. Recently released “sensitive but not classified e-mails” from Stevens to the U.S. Department of State painted a picture of poor security for U.S. personnel and the embassy, which was obviously true but had little to do with the events of September 11, 2012.

The failure to dispatch an extraction team or otherwise rescue the men during a firefight that lasted upwards of nine grueling and tortuous hours was not the result of any intelligence failure, but caused by our unwillingness to widen the conflict and expose the nature and scale of our true mission in Benghazi.

Based on information provided by my source and corroborated elsewhere, the official account by administration officials is a mosaic of lies that were necessary to cover the unpalatable truth of covert actions taking place in Libya, Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. The primary objective of our covert actions was to secretly arm anti-Assad “rebels” in Syria by funneling arms from Libya to Syria via Turkey, with other destinations that included Jordan and Lebanon. Regarding the threat to Stevens and the other murdered Americans, the truth will reformat the persistent question posed to government officials, from UN Ambassador Susan Rice to White House Spokesman Jay Carney and others from “how could you not have known” to “how could you have done these things?”

Refusal to make a ‘gutsy call’

There’s good news and bad news with regard to the Libyan attack on our consulate safehouse in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

The good news is some media, mainly FoxNews and the alternative media, are reporting new details of the attack as they slowly leak out.

The bad news is most of the mainstream media, especially the major outlets such as the New York Times and the main broadcast television networks are being very slow and seemingly reluctant to report on the new facts as they come to light.

Why the reluctance? Perhaps they understand how damning it would be to President Obama’s re-election for the Joe and Jane Sixpacks out there to know and understand our President refused to make a gutsy call to rescue our people who were under attack for as long as seven hours before the last of them perished in this terrorist attack.

Even worse, it would seem that Obama was likely present, watching on live video early on as our former SEALs fought valiantly to hold off the attackers until help would arrive.

What our valiant SEALs didn’t realize is that help would never come.

Three times they requested assistance, including military intervention and were turned down.

Now information has come to light that the 4-star general in charge of “AFRICOM”, Gen. Carter Ham, was relieved of his command after he ignored a Defense Department order to stand down and ordered a rescue

A single low altitude supersonic pass by an F-18 would have in all probability broken the back of the attack.

Eating popcorn and cheering, no doubt.

Three times.

The same number of times the DNC voted to deny God Himself a place on their platform.

Just sayin'...

Too late to impeach the Obozo and his hate American thugs surrounding him.

Wouldn’t it be nice if he was arrested for Treason at Andrews AFB on his way back to Chicago after President Romney is sworn in.

Then, have mass arrests of his Chicago rat thugs for treason at various DC area airports as they try to flee back to Chicago, or if we miss their out going flights, arrest them at their home airports when their planes arrive. Invite Fox to video the rats being arrested in DC or at Ohare.

Panetta and Clintoon need to be arrested for treason and other high crime criminal acts. Let Panetta and Clinton work as land mine detectors and removal whereever our military needs them.

Arrest Holder and send him to Mexico to help retrieve the guns and ammo he authorized to go there.

Who are our enemies that he’s aiding? Quit being mad and think about it. In Benghazi, who would he be aiding? The terrorists? Why would they attack then? The Russians? We’ve been working against them in Syria. The Iranians? Who? Obama is just a money-grubbing Democrat grifter. Read illinoispaytoplay.com. Read the three part story about Obama’s buddies making money off the rebuilding in Iraq. Why would Obama want to be using taxpayer money, personnel and equipment to bring down governments in the Middle East? So him and his buddies can make money rebuilding the Middle East. Benghazi needs to be covered up because Obama doesn’t want people thinking about why he’s been messing around in the Middle East. He’s trying to hide the story that he’s been playing this country so he can make money. And he will do whatever he thinks he needs to do to protect this secret. He’s committed war to make himself some money, and that is Crimes Against Humanity, Nuremberg Trials, people getting hung stuff. It’s play for keeps time for him.

Sure makes more sense than a silly video being touted as the cause for the attack. The american sheeple swallowed that whooper of a lie, hook line and sinker. They wanted that embassy destroyed for a reason and let the enemy murder them and burn it to the ground. They WATCHED it go down. Mission accomplished.

Unless some of our representatives go after this I will have lost all trust in any them. So far ... crickets.

And how come our media has not shown those photos of a very bloody and dead Am.Stevens being dragged through the streets?

I agree with the previous poster... the democrats denied God three times. God has left the building...
