Benghazi witnesses forced into silence? New concerns over terror attack aftermath
FoxNews ^ | Friday August 2, 2013

Posted on 08/02/2013 11:36:44 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

Fox News has learned that at least five CIA employees were forced to sign additional nondisclosure agreements this past spring in the wake of the Benghazi attack. These employees had already signed such agreements before the attack but were made to sign new agreements aimed at discouraging survivors from leaking their stories to the media or anyone else.

CNN has also reported that dozens of people working for the CIA were in Benghazi on the night of the attack, and that employees are being intimidated into staying silent.

CIA spokesman Dean Boyd pushed back on the claims in a written statement released Friday.

"CIA employees are always free to speak to Congress if they want to and there is an established process to facilitate such communication on a confidential basis. The CIA enabled all officers involved in Benghazi the opportunity to meet with Congress," he said. "We are not aware of any CIA employee who has experienced retaliation, including any non-routine security procedures, or who has been prevented from sharing a concern with Congress about the Benghazi incident."

Not exactly a denial, is it.

The CIA is set up to enforce highly compartmentalized access to information.

Jake Tapper and Michael Hastings were friends. Has Tapper said where he got his info? Hastings’ lawyer, maybe?

What in the hell is going on with this government?

Protecting muzzies yet spying on Americans.

Why is our gubbamint treating U.S. citizens as the enemy? Searching without probable cause through secret courts and so forth.

I understand the need for a level of secrecy when it comes to foreign operations and some domestic programs...but IRS targeting political enemies? NSA sucking up phone, Internet, credit card records of innocent law abiding folks w/o probable cause? Surveillance drones flying around within the U.S.? Militarizing local law enforcement? On and On and on.

If we are the enemy...what does this make them? Our mentors? Our confidants? Friends?

I am sure it doesn’t take much intimidation to keep a CIA agent working for Obama to be silent.

The link in the Fox article to CNN gives even more info.

I don’t care where the news comes from, as long as the truth about this situation is finally being revealed. Leftists, centrists, rightists, all Americans should know what lying traitors are running our government.

Maybe the people will come together and rise up against these creeps.
Or is the majority too stupidly glued to Facebook and tv?

Would Dean Boyd be willing to take a polygraph test to determine his truthfulness??

NO government job should be worth this kind of harassment and intimidation.

Some reporting on this claiming that the CIA is hiding survivors under assumed names. Hiding from House subpoenas, no doubt.

To believe that I would have to believe that the House had the balls to subpoena these people.

No they aren’t hiding from Boehner and his nutless Republicans.

Hmmm. I wonder what the feral government could be trying to hide; I also wonder what makes feral government employees assume they can get away with lying ad infinatum. Are they all too young to remember Richard Nixon?

"CIA employees are always free to speak to Congress if they want to"

Not if they want to ensure their physical survival.

The very purpose of FB and TV is to amplify the peer pressure to conform via dissemination of propaganda. They aren’t stupid, they’re inculcated.

Stupid is as stupid does. Let's see how people react to revelations on CNN about Benghazi coverup.

"What in the hell is going on with this government?"

This government should not surprise anyone who has read the Quran, or the Constitution. We at FR have learned that good people can be distracted by misdirection because they don't question the words of “authorities” interpreting our Constitution for them, rather than reading original sources. Example? How many do any of you know who realize that our Constitution does not contain definitions? Using that misdirection to delegitimize our presidential eligibility requirements was clever, and typical.

Our CIA Director is a Wahhabi Muslim, and has been at Obama’s side directing our foreign policy, with the help of Wahhabi Muslim Huma Abedin at Hillary's side, since before the 2008 election. Why would John Brennan separate agents from the government they serve? Because it is his sworn mission, as a Wahhabi Muslim, to destroy this government and replace it with Sharia. His first obligation is to Allah and his Quran, and lying to achieve that end is his "obligation." Like the eligibility issue, our media are too culpable, too complicit, and probably, too ignorant to inform you. That is why we have a growing alternative media. To learn about John Brennan's and Huma Abedin’s, and Grover Norquists, and Suhail Khan's, and probably, given his decades-long association with his patron, Alwaleed bin-Talal, with our putative president, Barack Obama’s commitment to Islam and Sharia.

The shortest path to understanding this writer has seen is a recent lecture by Clare Lopez, twenty year CIA officer, whose talk is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU13D4ZPtQM. If you want to go deeper, and appreciate and industrial-strength briefing, Stephan Coughlin was blocked by CAIR and ISNA executives from continuing as Congress’ authority on Islam, though he still briefs through the Center for Security Policy while we have some semblance of a 1st Amendment. Here is a pointer to his introductory lectures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhZe7eZK4dw.
Other excellent sources are the lectures of Frank Gaffney, of the former FBI authority or the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Jihad, John Guandolo.

Colonel Hassan is simply “good” Muslim, doing what Allah commands through the Quran. Huma Abedin can marry a Jew, even a perverted weenie, because her mission and access to our State Department further the ends of the Muslim Brotherhood. Much of the success of Islam, along with its failure to compete in a world that still tolerates individual sovereignty, is owed to the unity of the vision. Learn what that mission is, a mission clearly enunciated by Erdogan, Hassan, Morsi (in Arabic), even Obama (when speaking to the Muslim Brotherhood in his first major speech given at Al-Azhar University in Egypt), and John Brennan speaking to a Muslim Brotherhood audience in English and Arabic in New York.

Want to really know what is going on? Listen to the lectures above and, if you will, read some of their reference sources, the same sources used to educate Muslims and converts in English speaking nations going through conversion, who constitute over eighty percent of the Islamic Caliphate, the largest block of nations by far among UN members. They are called the OIC, Organization for Islamic Cooperation (or “Conference), and Obama has appointed a US representative, of course, a member of ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, founded by the father of a senior executive of our Conservative Political Action Committee, Suhail Khan, whose sponsor is Grover Norquist.

It not only goes that deep, it goes all the way to the top. Time to learn about it. Everything you say is being recorded, and will be used against you, and me, if we don't reclaim our Constitution and recognize the truth of this coup, condoned and locally sponsored by our left who think they will eventually prevail. That is what many German Jews thought as the Nazi's began their rise. The yellow Star of David came directly from Islam, who advised the Germans because they shared an enemy. Now their enemy is all of us who don't submit. Islam IS “submission.”
