Obama Anglo Saudi Agent
Obama has been reelected but with the stand down and crimes at Benghazi, Obama is impeachable as hell. Can we escape Obama's slide into thermonuclear war? The war in Syria and in Israel, Gaza are possible entry points toward a thermonuclear exchange.
This cannot get lost in partisan politics. Direct confrontation between the USA and Russia and China-- not a good idea.
Petraeus was forced out, as the godfather of the drone-assassination policy. Changes are coming.

Obama Eats Doggy Doo
Obama eats doggy doo. That doesn't mean he will lose for sure, but for the USA and the human race, he has to lose. Let me remind you about Obama's recent crimes and what happened in Benghazi, Libya. So Harlem dudes, get the word out: Screw Obama sideways.
Another government document that was commissioned by the Defense Department, written by the Congessional Research Division of the Library of Congress, and in the public domain since August 2012, proves that the intelligence was out in the open that Al Qaeda was operating in Libya, that Ansar al-Sharia "increasingly embodied al Qaeda's presence in Libya," and that the United States was its target.
Daily Beast reporter Eli Lake reported yesterday morning (Nov. 5) that, "Before the attacks, the U.S. intelligence community didn't consider Ansar al-Sharia a threat to American interests, and the group wasn't a priority target for the CIA officers monitoring jihadists in Libya, according to U.S. intelligence officials with knowledge of the investigations into the Benghazi attacks."
But, he notes, "Some analysts in the intelligence community disagreed with the official assessment.... A public report released in August by the Library of Congress at the direction of a Pentagon organization that focuses on counter-terrorism research concluded that Ansar al-Sharia "increasingly embodied al Qaeda's presence in Libya." But this wasn't the prevailing view...."
Now, after Amb. Chris Stevens and three other Americans are dead, Lake writes, "the intelligence community has begun to reassess its view of Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi, in part because the attacks there included not only that groups members but two other al-Qaeda-affiliated groups: al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the Jamal network."
The actual references in the Library of Congress report about Ansar al-Sharia are much stronger than what Lake and other reporters who have mentioned this report have said. In fact, the report points to the fact that Ansar al-Sharia was working as an umbrella for the other Al Qaeda militias not using the "Al Qaeda" brand name because the brand name was an instant death warrant.
Below are the references in the August 2012 report that is titled, "AL-QAEDA IN LIBYA: A PROFILE," A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Offices Irregular Warfare Support Program, August 2012."
* Page 1: Ansar al-Sharia, led by Sufian Ben Qhumu, a former Guantanamo detainee, has increasingly embodied al-Qaedas presence in Libya, as indicated by its active social-media propaganda, extremist discourse, and hatred of the West, especially the United States.
* Page 2: "Ansar al-Sharia (Supporters of Sharia), a militia group led by Sufian Ben Qhumu ... could be the new face of al-Qaeda in Libya despite its leaders denial.... Ansar al-Sharia is a Salafist-jihadist militia based in Benghazi.
* Page 3: "The name Ansar al-Sharia is also being used by al-Qaeda in the Lands of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in so-called liberated areas of Yemen and by Salafist groups in Tunisia. The Facebook sites of Ansar al-Sharia in Libya and the group in Tunisia appear similar in design and content and also share contacts, suggesting coordination between the groups.
Page 3: "Various militias, also known as katibas (battalions/brigades), from throughout Libya are thought to ... make up the bulk of al-Qaeda's network in Libya, as indicated by the attendance of the first gathering of groups supporting sharia held June 78, 2012, at Liberation Square in Benghazi, hosted by Ansar al-Sharia.
"Page 18: "Al-Qaeda will probably refrain from using the al- Qaeda name and instead may use other names, such as Ansar al-Sharia, or simply mujahedin."

Impeachment of Obama
Grounds for Impeachment: The Undeniable Facts Showing the Obama Coverup
by Nancy Spannaus · Editor in Chief, Executive Intelligence Review
Impeach Obama now, and face reality, look at what happened in Libya.Spring 2012: The State Department contracts with the British SAS-linked Blue Mountain Group, to handle security at the Benghazi diplomatic compound. Blue Mountain hires Libyan nationals who are unarmed.
April-June 2012: The frequency of attacks by Jihadi groups in the eastern Libya area around Benghazi increases, leading to the International Committee of the Red Cross suspending operations in the east after an attack on its Misurata complex June 12. Convoys transporting the U.N. country chief and the British ambassador were attacked in April and June, leading to the British government shutting down its consulate soon after. According to the New York Times of Oct. 1, four Special Forces soldiers were sent to Benghazi to augment security and conduct a security assessment.
June 6: A small roadside bomb is detonated outside the walls of the U.S. outpost in Benghazi. No one is injured, and no evacuation ordered.
August 27: The U.S. State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs warned U.S. citizens "against all but essential travel to Libya. The incidence of violent crime, especially carjacking and robbery, has become a serious problem. In addition, political violence in the form of assassinations and vehicle bombs has increased in both Benghazi and Tripoli."
Sept. 8: According to the New York Times of Oct. 1, a U.S. official in Benghazi met with security leaders to ask for a threat assessment. A senior Libyan official told the Times that "if there's going to be any foreign presence [in the city], it better be discreet." Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade, an anti-Qaddafi group that was allied with the U.S. during the war, and was part of the Benghazi U.S. compound's security detail, said he and a battalion commander had met with U.S. officials and told them the situation was "frightening, it scares us."
Sept. 9: The U.S. State Department receives credible information that American missions might be targetted in Libya, according to senior U.S. diplomatic sources. However, no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown," under which movement is severely restricted. [London Independent, Sept. 14] A senior Pentagon source confirmed to EIR that the White House itself and the CIA received a detailed warning of a pending attack from both the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. The reports were detailed enough to identify the Ansar al-Sharia group as being directly involved in the planned attacks. The source noted that the DIA had recently boosted its human intelligence unit and had operatives on the ground around the world, and the NSA was monitoring global communications traffic.
Sept. 10: Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian emir of al-Qaeda, released his annual message on the eve of 9/11/2001, calling for attacks on Americans, especially in Libya, in retribution for the drone murder of senior Libyan al-Qaeda operative, Abu Yahya al-Libi, who was killed on June 4, 2012.
August-early September: According to a hand-written journal found by CNN on the floor of the Benghazi compound, Ambassador Stevens was aware and worried about "the never-ending security threats" that he was facing in Benghazi, and specifically about "the rise in Islamic extremism" and "growing al-Qaeda presence in Libya," and "being on an Al-Qaeda hit list." CNN reporters were deployed to corroborate the reports in the diary, which was given to his family.
Sept. 11: Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. personnel at the Benghazi compound are murdered in the course of an armed assault on the compound. Details of exactly what happened are still unclear. What is known is that there were no Marines outside or inside the consulate. The security, according to many sources, consisted of three guards from the Libyan 17th of February Brigade, and five unarmed Libyans employed by the British Blue Mountain Group. A story by the Daily Beast's Eli Lake, of Sept. 21, reports on a U.S. intelligence intercept of a communication between a pro-al-Qaeda politician, and the 17th of February Brigade, in which "the Libyan politician apparently asks an officer in the brigade to have his men stand down for a pending attack—another piece of evidence implying the violence was planned in advance." The attackers, according to some eyewitnesses, numbered as many as 125, and used rocket-propelled grenades and other heavy weapons. There are numerous reports of complicity between the attackers and the security detail, and the suspicious fact that the attackers knew the location of the safehouse to which those who survived the initial assault retreated, as well as the precise location of the Ambassador.
Sept. 12: EIR received a briefing from a high-level Washington source who reported, from a Libyan source, that the attack on the Embassy had nothing to do with a demonstration against the movie, and that Benghazi was known to be a hot-bed of jihadi activity, including the fact that there are two members of Ansar al-Sharia, the group suspected in the attack, on the Public Safety Committee which oversees the city.
Sept. 14: On September 14, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, posted a blistering statement on her website that said:
"During the past two days, I have participated in classified briefings by the National Counterterrorism Center and the Department of Defense on the attacks on our consulate in Benghazi during which four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, were killed. "The lack of security provided to the Ambassador and other American personnel in Benghazi is deeply troubling and inexplicable given the dangerous threat environment in that city. Earlier attempts in June to reportedly attack the British ambassador and to plant a bomb outside of our consulate clearly demonstrated how dangerous and unsettled Benghazi is. Surely, the State Department should not have relied on Libyan nationals to guard the consulate. Rather, armed U.S. Marines should have been assigned to provide security. "The kind of weapons used by the attackers also strongly suggests to me that this attack was planned and not the result of a spontaneous protest...."
Sept. 15-16: Libyan President Mohamed Magarief told al-Jazeera and the U.S. TV show "Face the Nation" that "The way these perpetrators acted and moved—I think we, and they're choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration, I think we have no, this leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, determined.... It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival."
Sept. 15: On the same day the Libyan President was insisting that the attack on the consulate was preplanned, UN Ambassador Susan Rice was sent onto several Sunday talkshows to proclaim that the attack in Benghazi was the result of a demonstration against the anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims." This line continues to be spouted by Administration spokesmen until testimony by Homeland Security's director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Matthew Olsen, on Sept. 19.
Sept. 17: A Libyan security guard, hired by Blue Mountain Group, is reported in the London Daily Telegraph to have said that there were no demonstrators at the time of the attack. Several other eyewitnesses have subsequently confirmed that there never was a protest demonstration outside the Benghazi compound.
Sept. 19: CNN's Anderson Cooper reports to his TV audience that "A source familiar with Ambassador Christopher Stevens' thinking said that in the months before his death, he talked about being worried about the above threats to his life." He follows this up the next night with the fuller story of the contents related to Ambassador Stevens' security concerns.
Sept. 26: Senators Bob Corker (R-TN) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA) demand that the State Department release relevant correspondence from Ambassador Stevens on the security situation, in the run-up to the deadly events of September 11.
Sept. 28: Director of National Intelligence James Clapper issued a statement taking responsibility for the initial misassessment that the attack that killed Ambassador Stevens was the outcome of a demonstration gone amok, and claimed that "subsequent evaluation" has confirmed it to be a terrorist attack.
Sept. 30: In a statement posted on his website, Sen. Corker says that the State Department continues "deafening silence" in response to his requests, and those of other Senators for information on what lead to the terrorist attack on the Benghazi consulate.
