MORE BACK UP THE MEDIA


BENGHAZI-TRUTH DAILY MEMO
Filed for Monday Feb, 25 2013

"BOYCOTT FOX NEWS" is a term which to most of us would have been unthinkable five or six years ago. At that time while Fox ignored the birth certificate issue which seemed to still be a kind of lunatic fringe conspiracy theory - before Obama released a fake birth certificate and changed the landscape of that debate - Fox was doing the heavy lifting generally: Hannity was all over Reverend Wright, they made Sarah Palin front and center, they covered the 9-12 1.5 million-person march in DC later against Obamacare, O'Reilly was rightfully yelling at Barney Frank for destabilizing the United states economy via impossible demands on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack - though O'Reilly was making Al Sharpton legit (also unthinkable 5 years before that) and Shepard Smith was still pretending to not be a shill for the left.

All that has changed. Now that Sheriff Joe Arpaio - with 50(!) years law enforcement experience - 30 in the Fed - and constituency of 5 million people determined with his investigators that Obama's birth certificate is a fake, Fox remains silent. Indeed, Arpaio used to be seen regularly on Fox, but no more. Obama's social security issue? Very compelling indeed - anyone can look up the law and see the numbers reported as being Obama's come from Connecticut, and his terrorist pal Bill Ayres has boasted of the Weather Underground using fake SS numbers to elevate members to power. Fox? Nothing.

But the issue of the missing Benghazi witnesses survivors, whose identities have not been released to the Congress for more than 5 months - when Reps like Chaffetz state they are usually apprised in 48 hours, is the last straw. No one can call Benghazi a conspiracy theory. We know the people were murdered - the first Ambassador murdered in 40 years. It's been a big deal. People sat in front of their TVs and watched Hillary look ridiculous reading testimony answers she prepared for months when she should have been recuperating from a concussion. A few strong senators are still determined on the Benghazi issue. Speaker John Boehner looks hopeless, his uncontrollable crying fits on national television, punctuated by spams and wretched facial anguish, appears to be suffering from clinical depression and may not even be in his right mind. And still, for all that, Fox News reports on a murder in Africa (!) day in and out and appears to now being deliberately cover for Obama on the issue of Banghazi.

For as much progress as we have made, my - and our -  concern is that over the weeks and months the media and Obama will simply wait us out until the issue simply vanishes from sedentary collapse. No situation, no matter what it is, can exist in an absolute perpetual steady state. It either grows or it dies. Therefore, we are taking the next step while this movement is still in its infancy and very much growing: we are calling for a 2-day boycott - and I mean a total viewer blackout - 100% - of Fox News on an soon/upcoming Friday and Saturday, and we think he can make a huge dent in their ratings. Their ratings are how they get their revenue. The lower the ratings, the less they can charge for advertising fees. A 30% drop, for example, in viewership over 2 days would send alarms throughout all of NewsCorp - especially since if we can do it once, we can do it again - or permanently  Indeed, some people, weened of Fox for 2 days, may like life better without it,m and then those people are gone for good. Fox will be aware of that possibility, too.

This boycott viewer blackout is not meant to maliciously  hurt their business. It is meant to send a message from audience to entertainment provider: FOX NEWS, WE'RE FED UP WITH BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED. REPORT WHAT WE WANT TO SEE OR WE WILL STOP WATCHING. PERIOD.

I will post links and screenshots to ratings converge online, so no one need guess the before and after effect and play in a daydream world, making up stories as so often happens in online grassroots activism. We will have the hard numbers here, before and after, so you know you will have immediate  no-fooling-around concrete skin in this game.



It's as simple as that. So far we have several Tea Party leaders, a couple of notables and a conservative California radio host who have all said "I'm in".

FOX mocked the "birthers" - who were right. Ignoreed the SS number. Threw Arpaio under the bus. Threw a couple of general guests from years past under the bus. They keep RINO Rove but let go Sarah Palin - who has more followers on twitter than any Fox host, including O'Reilly. Now they are making it clear they intend to cover Obama's rear end on the one issue that even some Congressmen are crying foul about: BENGHAZI  and specifically tracking down the only people who can tell us what happened: the witnesses, whom Obama seems to have somehow taken some kind of control for 5 months, since not one has dared - or been able - to speak out.

CHECK IN EVERY DAY OR SO, PLEASE. THIS FOX BOYCOTT IS COMING IN JUST A WEEK OR SO. LET'S TAKE BACK AMERICA ONE RINO CABLE NEWS CHANNEL AT A TIME.

HAPPY PRESIDENTS' DAY

BENGHAZI-TRUTH CELEBRATES PRESIDENT'S DAY BY APPRECIATING BARACK OBAMA, THE WORST PRESIDENT THE UNITED STATES HAS EVER ENDURED, BY FAR


Let us look with unabashed candor at just exactly what it is we, as Tea party conservatives, managed to help inflict on ourselves by not being as politically activist in 2008 and 2012 as we were in 2010, and cite what Obama has done in 4 years. 

Yes, what we have in part done to ourselves, because we have sat too idle, to be blunt about it. While 20 million of us listened to Rush,  liberals were brainwashing the other 320 million who were not. While we watched FOX News as though they were a conservative outlet, they mocked the birth certificate issue, refused to the cover the very viable question of Obama's social security number, gave people like Sharpton a platform into television legitimacy and now ignore the alarming missing status of the 30 Benghazi witnesses - US civilians all. We attend rallies, talk online, call into talk shows and get together all and openly with each other when we should be shouting all day at congress, tweeting people outside right wing political groups, challenging the media in front of the world and calling FOX out for being exactly what it is, IMO: Mainstream Media Light, and sometime not-so-light.

So on President's Day, let's view Obama through the same prism that he told Hispanic democrats to view us: as the "Enemy". Here's a point-by-point re-assessment of Obama on President's Day.

1. He is clearly using a fake social security number since he was not living in the state it was issued - and has never lived in the state it was issued. His political activist/terrorist/communist pal Bill Ayres is on record as saying that using the identities of dead people is one way he established new identities for Weather Underground members who then went out and bombed public places.  Obama has a fake social security number.

2. He is hiding his records which would confirm or disprove what Sheriff Joe Arpaio - who has the 3rd largest constituency of any duly elected law enforcement official in the United States as well as 50 years of federal and state law enforcement experience - has concluded with his experts: Obama's birth certificate is a fake. 


3. Obama forced through Obamacare when 75% of American people polled made it clear they did not want it. This from a man who as a Chicago Senator promoted the idea of infanticide - killing - innocent babies who survived abortions. This is not internet craziness, there are videos of he, himself, making the case back in the day when he was open about his views.


4. Obama's ability to affect a confident swagger while blatantly lying through his teeth about his - non-existent by any normal standard - accomplishments is breathtaking. As time has worn on and he has grown more comfortable in his role, he has clearly lost the - frankly insulting -   "white man accent" he affected in 2008 and now sounds in tone and cadence much like an obnoxious drug dealer on a playground, lolling his head arrogantly while punctuating sentences with the word, "man". The professor is gone and the punk is back.


5. While the nation spirals into an historic great depression, Obama has taken more vacations than any President in memory, and this is a clear window into his lack of any ethics or conscience: these vacations for a President are incredibly expensive, running tens and sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars. Planning, security at every stop and with him, the operation of Air force One, his accommodation - even the food he eats needs to be bought and prepared carefully for security reasons - nothing is left to chance on an incredibly vast scale. In other words, he is living large and partying on the tax money of the people whose financial lives he's ruined, and he clearly feels its his ethical right since he has the power to do it.


6. He has basically gutted the space program we need to defend ourselves from sophisticated nations, and has - apparently intentionally with very bad motivation - put us at the mercy of Russia's space program. Yes, that's right - communist Russia, currently presided over by Putin, a warlord-minded ex-KGB officer; the same KGB who routinely interrogated hundreds of enemies of the state at any given time by strapping them to electric bed springs which were wired for electricity. That's not rumor; CNN and others reported such horrendous torture devices in the KGB Headquarters when the Soviet Union fell. That is the man to whom Obama has ensured we must go to protect ourselves from..... him.

7. Obama is making a seeming power-mad grab for the guns people own. We know why we have the right to bear arms - so we may protect ourselves and our families from our own Government should the government fall into a tyranny. There has not been one time in history when a leader took guns from the people and it turned out to be a good thing for the people. What happened, for example, is that they would up strapped to the electrified bed springs in the KGB headquarters.


8. Obama may be crazy. Literally. For real. Watch this for yourself. If you think he is acting normal in this collection of clips, then ask those who love you if you are acting normal.



9. Obama has seemingly made every move a President could make to ruin this nation financially. The most troubling thing, particularly, is that is how communism teaches to defeat a free, capitalist nation: ruin the capitalist economy and replace it with a communist model. Obama is 100% on-track and if he is not stopped he will likely see to it that he succeeds before the end of his term, because as disturbed as he clearly is, he seems to do nothing without a nefarious plan at the center of his motivation.


10. Obama seems to want the power to do something both chilling and incomprehensible to the American mind: he appears to want the power to arbitrarily determine who constitutes a "threat" ("to the State" as they said in the Soviet Union) with no due process whatsoever and use drones to kill those people within the boarders of the United States. Now, absorb that for a moment. Let it settle. Let it settle firmly. Obama apparently wants to be able to murder any citizen of the United States he simply does not like, and do so at will. If this comes to pass, we will have entered into our own moment where we will have become, IMO, a high-tech version of Hitler's Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union. That's not an exaggeration. When a President gives himself the power to kill anyone he wants at will, we are Nazi Germany. Remember, the Russian and German people were not uneducated peasants. They were well-learned, versed in the classics, quoted the great philosophers in casual conversation and were sharp in the arts, fashion and higher learning. But they could not come to grips with the reality that Caesars still could exist in their wonderful countries, and millions of those same people payed for their self-assurance by dying horribly, their stiff, naked corpses piled high in concentration camps by the tens of thousands. If Obama gets the power he seeks, we only have his word that he will not behave like Hitler - there is no other governing agency that can stop him. If Obama gets that power, only Obama can stop Obama.

11. Finally, there is Benghazi. An Ambassador and three others are killed and the first thing Obama does is lie about the cause for two weeks, including to the United Nations Assembly. His talking points about the cause are, as Benghazi-Truth discovered manifestly - no doubt - lifted directly from the Libyan propaganda issued within hours after the deaths with a degree of detail impossible to be known to a government that did not even know who the killers were. It was a lie, known as a lie for other reasons also, acknowledged by mainstream media, and Obama repeated the Libyan lie,and that makes Obama and Libya appear to have acted in concert in the murders. Obama had every chance to save those murdered in Benghazi as we have detailed here. He chose not to, obviously. And the filmmaker who was blamed by Obama on false pretenses and whose life has been ruined is in jail for his "crime" where his life remains in mortal peril, and Obama does nothing to help him.

And now we call out on twitter for hours every day, "WHERE ARE THE BENGHAZI WITNESSES." Thank God we are making a little progress in eliciting Congressional response and public awareness. Most agree that if Obama broke any laws whatsoever in Benghazi, that his Presidency probably screeches to a fast and final halt. That makes the prosecution of Obama on Benghazi a bit more pressing than justice for the dead - it means perhaps literally the survival of many still alive. We have no idea what Obama is capable of if given unlimited power, but he seems to want to stretch his hand out and grab anything that he can which gives him power for its own sake, and that, IMO, makes the situation appear rather dangerous.

So if you see someone Tweeting a Senator, Rep, any public figure, regarding Benghazi  don't just "favorite" and "Retweet" it, find your voice and add your own comment, because it is in large numbers where we can be truly successful in turning the tide on Benghazi. The life you save may just be your own.


Happy President's Day.

BENGHAZI-TRUTH DAILY MEMO

Filed for FRIDAY - SUNDAY Feb, 15 -17 2013

EDIT: BE SURE TO SEE SOMEWHAT SHOCKING EDIT, IN RED, BELOW, WITH BIG IMPLICATIONS

TELLING THE RIGHT WING MEDIA HOW TO DO ITS JOB in public is done on a regular basis casually online among conservatives, but it's time we stepped up the game and started making the activity a bit more formal and direct. Hannity, O'Reilly and the rest at FOX NEWS have created a pretty cute game: blaming "mainstream media" for faults of which they themselves are also guilty, while they themselves, with the highest ratings on cable, also absolutely qualify by any measure as "mainstream media". Repeat: Fox News is also Mainstream Media. Play-pretending to not be what they are while projecting their own failures on others has got to stop.

Here are 2 very recent examples of the media handling Benghazi, a right way and a wrong way, from February 14, 2013 - last night as of this writing.

The first one is HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT. It is the excellent Bret Baier on his nightly cablecast interviewing Benghazi hawk GOP Senator Lindsey Graham - Graham one of the few true heroes exposing the Benghazi outrage.

Baier asks Graham what needs to be asked: What about the survivors? Benghazi-Truth only gives this exchange a 70% approval rating because it discusses only procuring the now-hidden records of the FBI/CIA questioning of the witnesses the night of the killings, and not the more salient issue of demanding that the Obama administration release the names of the witnesses so Congress can call them to testify directly. But compared to other news outlets and Fox personalities, it's badly needed Manna From Heaven.


IMO here now is how it is not done. When some of us tweeted Greta Van Susteren, the 10:00 PM EST host of Fox News' "On The Record", she, in her brief responses, gets clearly snippy and asks us - the people - to basically set up an interview for her worth probably a million bucks. That instead of doing the kind of investigative journalism she has displayed on things such as the Van Der Sloot case. IMO, disgraceful responses (click each image for larger, easy-to-read images).




After this first exchange, Greta took what looks at first blush like a meaningful first step, but without mentioning this most important possible of political stories on her TV show, only the following Twitter post, she appears to be only throwing a bone to look busy so she no longer has to deal with the issue thereafter. In the new global town hall of Twitter, assuming your audience is stupid enough to not see this for what it is, is IMO not the way to do it. 


EDIT: TONIGHT, SAT, 2/16/2012: Tonight on Twitter we were attempting to persuade Judge Jeanine Pirro to report on the issue of the Benghazi Witnesses on TV, and at the end of tonight's TV telecast, she addressed us directly and said.... EXACTLY WHAT GRETA SAID, ABOVE, ESSENTIALLY VERBATIM: "If you know a Benghazi Survivor, have them contact me."

Until we can get the video (which you can presumably see on the Sunday night rerun on FOX), all I can offer are at this moment screenshots of the twitter exchanges where she twice, albeit cryptically, mentions the above-quoted remark,"If you know a Benghazi Survivor, have them contact me" although e devoe mentions her remark directly (highlighted in green) Click for larger version:

Now what is one to make of this? Coincidence is impossible of course - ridiculous - as asking the audience to do their (host's) research and set up their interviews is utterly unprecedented at this broadcast level. For both hosts to make this case two nights apart is IMO no possible coincidence. There seem to be only two possibilities for these two to give the same responses: they are either friends and Greta came to Pirro's "rescue" from the bad conservatives who are hounding them to do their most basic job to expose a catastrophic scandal by providing Pirro with the same terrible response she gave us on twitter, above, or FOX, Newscorp or a/some Fox News Exec(s) has(have) sent down the apparent company line on the Benghazi Witnesses: "You do our work for us & we'll do a segment on it on TV and reap the benefits. Maybe. No promises." Unbelievable. 

One thing is for sure: we are making a difference. We have had support and dust-ups on Twitter with Congressmen and celebrities. Now we are being bullshitted - almost by name - on National Television. Presumably if they do not edit it, you can see this moment around 9:50 - 10:00 PM EST on the Sunday Night rerun on 2/17/2013 of Justice With Jeanine Pirro on the FOX NEWS channel.


As always, I remain convinced, now, as do many others, that Obama wanted the people in Benghazi dead. With so many options to save them, it seems that the only way they could be dead today is if he wanted them dead. Here were just a few of Obama's options to save them:

1. Remove them from Benghazi when Britain realized the danger was so severe they pulled their people out.


2. Remove them from Benghazi when Stevens sent his first cable saying they could not survive an attack they felt was coming


3. Remove them from Benghazi when Stevens sent his second cable saying they could not survive an attack they felt was coming


4. Send them military protection when the first or second warning cable from Stevens came or when Britain got out.


5. Send them to the Annex and fortify the Annex with military when the first or second warning from Stevens came.


7. Send military immediately when attack first detected.


8. Immediately contact the Libyan Government to help by sending armed Libyan military to consulate and Annex (the fact that Obama did not contact Lybia until the next day, when all were dead, and Lybia did not contact him, knowing what was happening in their own country, suggests a possible - perhaps likely -  collusion between Obama and Lybia in the killings)

And now that we know there are 25-30 survivor witnesses, confirmed by Hillary Clinton in her congressional testimony, who have not been seen or heard from for 5 months after the military flew them out. Not one stepping forward to tell, not one requested by Obama to tell a story, Obama fighting Congress to keep their stories from being heard. For all we know Obama has had them all killed and is waiting for our interest to get distracted and go away from Benghazi. We have nothing to go on but a pop culture assumption that Obama must be too good for that because he's our President, and from Hitler & Stalin onward, we have seen what happens when "enlightened people" look away from the facts.


IMO, if left to people like Greta van Susteren and Judge Pirro, Obama will get his wish.

On Monday, President's Day, we want to get everyone who comes in once in a while and tweets with the crowd and make a huge crowd activity of it, Tweeting both GOP congress and Media.


Join us.

Here's another outstanding guest memo by BT's resident military expert, "Sergeant Major". Read this carefully: he makes some very important points no one else has made.


GUEST BENGHAZI-TRUTH DAILY MEMO
Filed for Tuesday Feb 12, 2013
NOTE: Unsurprisingly, this has been a particularly popular Daily Memo, so Benghazi-Truth will keep it as the top memo until Feb 15. THIS IS A MUST-READ.  

By Sergeant Major

Last week the Senate Armed Forces Committee conducted a hearing into the #BENGHAZI Massacre. Five major players emerged: Senators McCain, Ayotte and Graham who "questioned" Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chief of Staff Chairman General Martin Dempsey. The hearing followed other #BENGHAZI hearings in that alibis were in abundance and true facts rare as a Bible in Baghdad  One such fact did emerge-a big one-so stand by for that.

General Dempsey was an embarrassment. In an ill tailored uniform (sleeves too short revealing 3" of shirt cuff where regs allow for no more than a half inch), the General slouched in his chair, leaned on his elbows and answered questions with a subtle smirk on his face. His testimony began with "Yes", "No", and multiple "Yeahs" (!) instead of "Yes Sir or No Ma'am" as required by military courtesy. More to the point, his sometimes confused responses were a smorgasbord of the "not my fault", "have a lot on my plate", "you'll have to ask someone else" variety. No wonder his command failed at #BENGHAZI. To quote Patton as he reviewed his new troops in Tunisia, "They don't look like soldiers. They don't act like soldiers. How do you expect them to fight like soldiers?"

Secretary of Defense Panetta was a little better. Affecting an avuncular, even lugubrious style, Panetta was rarely shaken or goaded into intemperate ("What does it matter how they died!?") remarks. He has survived around Beltway Power in a variety of positions and knows how it works. He realizes that OBAMA is his boss and must do what he can to protect him but not at the expense of his own career. In other words, Panetta won't stab OBAMA in the back but he won't fall on his sword for him either. As such, it was Panetta that gave up the new factoid.

Of the three senators, McCain was least effective  though he did take General Dempsey to task for his "surreal" testimony. This upbraiding was deserved but not germane to what happened at #BENGHAZI. Senator Ayotte was a touch too wordy, but her questions stayed on target-what was done to defend #BENGHAZI-which elicited a patronizing, disrespectful response from the General. 

It was Senator Lindsey Graham that tore Panetta/Dempsey a new one. His rat-a-tat questions, interruptions of filibustering answers ("I'm Sorry to interrupt you, but I have only so much time") and stern tone kept Panetta/Dempseys' feet to the fire. Graham's questions extracted a scenario of a command in disarray and confusion with no one truly calling the shots. Graham: "Who was in charge that night?" Panetta, shrugging:"I guess we all were in charge that night." 

But the best salvo came at the end.

Graham: "Was there any soldier...of any kind...deployed from any base... anywhere... enroute to support #BENGHAZI?" 

The Secretary of Defense and the General fumbled for an answer until Panetta stammered, "No, because we couldn't get there in time." 

To which Graham barked, "How did you know 'in time'? You didn't know before it was over when it would end."

The Big Fact revealed by Panetta was that OBAMA was AWOL that night. According to the Secretary, he and the General had a 20-30 minute briefing with the President at 5;00 pm Washington time where OBAMA was apprised of the deteriorating situation in #BENGHAZI. The President was distracted, detached and offered little guidance except, "Do what you can." All night long OBAMA did not ONCE talk to them either to ask or answer questions involving the staus of the situation at #BENGHAZI. This is important. Without rehashing a previous blog on Chain of Command, suffice to say before ANY rescue force of ANY kind can militarily enter Libyan airspace or violate Libyan boundaries these forces would first receive Presidential authorization, referred to as "Cross Border Authority". If OBAMA wanted #BENGHAZI to burn and the Ambassador to die all he need to do was make himself incommunicado, thus hamstringing the rescue effort. "Not To Act Is To Act" And that's exactly what a sleeping OBAMA did.

Still, the question remains. According to reports, a "Stand Down" order was given that night of 9/11/12. Since Hillary, Panetta, Demsey deny they gave the order, and OBAMA was sleeping, SOMEONE on the White House staff played President that night and Stood Down the rescue.

WHO GAVE THE ORDER TO STANDDOWN AT #BENGHAZI?

EDITOR: Since Sergeant Major's Memo has been up for 2 days, I don't feel too disrespectful to reiterate what my own feeling his here so the reader knows where this blog stands on the issue generally; in the second to last paragraph, Sergeant Major notes that if Obama wanted to kill everyone in Benghazi, he needed do nothing more than turn his back and remain uncommunicative to questions and answers. It has become my own conviction that Obama did, indeed, want everyone in Benghazi dead. After all these months, only one scenario seems to hold together and fit:  For whatever reason, possibly to cover gun-running, an operation Rand Paul believes was likely, IMO Obama, probably in concert with the Libyan Government whose propaganda about the killing being caused by a mob incensed by an anti-Muslim video was clearly the lead for Obama's own lie on the cause of the killings, decided that all in Benghazi must die. This seems extremely likely as Obama had many opportunities before and during Sept 11, 2012 to send reinforcements or get the people out and he very clearly intentionally did neither.  With so many options to help them, it seems clear that the only way those people could be dead today is if Obama wanted them dead. What would have gone wrong, then, is the two ex-SEALS breaking ranks and saving 25-30 unwanted witnesses, and that too holds, since Obama is steadfastly refusing to give up any information to Congress about the identity or location of the witnesses after 5 months, information usually offered to Congress within 48 hours of similar events. None of the witnesses have stepped forward, nor their families, and this is of course fraught with alarming, Nazi-esque implications of unconstitutional holding or worse. As melodramatic and truly unprecedented that may sound for a situation in the United States of America, that is how the facts shake out. The people of this country are not stupid. We need to hear the witnesses and we need to hear them now.
