The Market Ticker ^ | November 7, 2016 | Karl Denninger

Posted on 11/07/2016 1:13:59 PM PST by Ancesthntr

What?!

"An obscure private firm hired by the State Department over internal objections to protect U.S. diplomats in Benghazi just months before the American ambassador and three others were killed was staffed with hastily recruited locals with terror ties who helped carry out the attack,...."

Correct!

We knew this a week after it happened, and should have suspected it well before it happened.

Now the "stand down" order makes more sense. Doesn't it? This is even worse then we thought.

A few months ago I read Erik Prince's book: Civilian Warriors: The Inside Story of Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes of the War on Terror

If even half what is told in this book is accurate, our State Department and DoD are a total shambles and have been for a long time.

Even though Blackwater was not involved in Benghazi (maybe they should have been instead of Blue Mountain) the backstabbing and cris-cross treatment PMCs got from the State Department elsewhere makes it easier to understand how the total screw up that was Benghazi could have happened.

How much did Blue Mountain donate to the Clinton Foundation?

Bingo. This is the right question

Easy - she’s a psychopath.

Other human lives mean as much to her as moss on a tree means to most people.

This was reported on FR at the time it was happening just not in as much detail. However, the general theme was clear
“Terrorists hired to guard Consulate.”

Reason 100000001 that I hate this media and consider it the definition of Evil. Its greatest tool today is the media.

It simply amazes me that Nixon is regarded as the worst criminal in political history for erasing a few minutes of an audiotape related to the break in. Yet the sheer volume of things both Obama and Illiary have done the ON THEIR OWN should have caused, at minimum, a resignation......It really is mindboggling.

The liberal fools I’ve seen don’t consult the news in any form. They’re truly stupid. They’re aren’t known as low information voters for nothing.

a clip from the link”:

“The guards who were hired were locals who were part of the Ansar al-Sharia and Al Qaeda groups operating in Benghazi,” said the source, whose assignment in Benghazi had ended in November 2011. “Whoever approved contracts at the State Department hired Blue Mountain Group and then allowed Blue Mountain Group to hire local Libyans who were not vetted.”

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALLOW UNCLEARED PEOPLE TO HANDLE SENSITIVE INFORMATION.

LIKE ALLOWING YOUR MAID INTO THE SCIF.

THAT IS WHY IT’S ILLEGAL TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT.

Oh, you want to believe it was accidental? Well, maybe grossly negligent-level to the point that Hillary should have been charged with manslaughter, but if not, it was intentional. Why do I say that? Right here:

“One of those guards hired by Blue Mountain was the younger brother of the leader of Al Qaeda of Benghazi,” he said.

REALLY? The younger brother of the leader of Al Qaeda in Benghazi?! They didn’t even check this bastard’s name!

From the referenced article:

“Think about it: Hillary Clinton’s State Department actually hired the very people who, along with their jihadist allies in Benghazi, attacked us and killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith as well as CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Ty Woods,” Lopez said.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY HILLARY TRIED TO ERASE EVERYTHING RELATED FORM HER “PRIVATE” SERVER, AND WHY SHE LIED REPEATEDLY. HER ODDS OF BEING ABLE TO RUN FOR DOGCATCHER IF THIS HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN RELEASED WERE ZERO, AND THAT IS ONLY IF SHE MANAGED TO AVOID GOING TO PRISON FOR PUTTING THE SON OF THE LOCAL AL QAEDA GROUP’S LEADER INSIDE THE BUILDING WITH A GUN!

YOU GOT THAT? HILLARY CLINTON PUT AN ARMED TERRORIST INSIDE THE COMPOUND AT BENGHAZI AND HE, ALONG WITH THE OTHERS, DID WHAT TERRORISTS DO.

what irks me so bad is how the MSM keeps echoing the mantra that “the FBI cleared Hillary of all wrongdoing” and most people just gobble it up
