BOMBSHELL REPORT: Valerie Jarrett Gave the Orders on 9/11/2012 and Blocked Rescue in Benghazi

And such a report is entirely believable, given that Jarrett nixed the raid on Bin Laden three separate times.

Valerie Jarrett, Commander in Chief
Confidential sources close to Conservative Report have confirmed that Valerie Jarrett was the key decision-maker for the administration, the night of the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9/11/2012.

The chronology of the evening of 9/11 are as follows:


At approximately 5 PM Washington time, reports came in through secure-channels that Special Mission Benghazi was under attack. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey summoned the President,and briefed him on the crisis, face to face.

Subsequent to that brief meeting, President Obama proceeded to the White House to dine in his living quarters.

After supper, Barack Obama had a telephone conference scheduled with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu... As that meeting drew to a close, Ms. Jarrett, who is also the Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, went from the living quarters to the White House Situation Room, where the attack in Benghazi was being monitored by Dempsey, Panetta and other top-ranking officials.

Whether she was instructed by the President to go there, or if she went of her own volition, is only known by the President and herself.

A critical question that needed to be answered, and the sole military-order that could have launched offensive-actions, neutralizing the Ansar al Sharia terrorists attacks on the Mission (the purpose of which are detailed here) and its subsequent attacks on the adjacent CIA Annex, was the issuance of “Cross Border Authority”, an order that can onlybe issued by the Commander in Chief himself.

As was reported earlier by Conservative Report, Cross Border Authority was denied... Two revelations are deeply troubling:


First, it is reported that an Army Special Forces team was present with an AC-130U Spooky (also known as a Spectre Gunship) on the tarmac at the airport in Tripoli, Libya. The Spooky is a technologically sophisticated, tactical aircraft, operated by the U.S. Air Force Special... The AC-130U Spooky is equipped with weapons that sync with laser-designators, like those that Woods, Doherty and Ubben had on that lonely rooftop above the CIA Annex. The laser-designator was used to “paint” the mortar targets during the attack, subsequently claiming the lives of Woods and Doherty, and leaving Ubben without a leg. Had the AC-130U been on station, over the CIA Annex in Benghazi, moments before the mortar rounds were fired, instead of "awaiting further instructions," the entire outcome of the Benghazi fiasco would have been different.

Add to that, a team of Green Berets on the ground to secure and/or evacuate the Annex, and the outcome would have been two SEALS still alive, and a mess of dead terrorists.

The second, and most troubling aspect of the refusal to issue Cross Border Authority is who issued the refusal. Rather than the President, the Commander In Chief, making critical decisions, granting or denying the authority to initiate offensive-actions in support of our valiant fighting men, the decision not to take action was made by a person, to whom the people did not elect, nor did the Congress have confirmation power over.

The military-order, not to initiate action, saving our men in Benghazi, was issued by the President's Advisor, Valerie Jarrett.

And this is a “phony” scandal?
This report would certainly explain the serial lies, cover-ups, and obfuscation by this administration.

Where You Want To Live


Heh, the best cities are mostly all in states pubo won't allow himself to visit for reasons of his narrow hatefilled idealogy.

The Daily Beast is out with its version of the best American cities list that fits the pattern we’ve seen in the past couple of years: America’s great legacy cities like New York and Los Angeles are being trounced by up-and-coming cities in the South and Midwest.

Taking into account economic, demographic, and quality of life factors (employment growth, per capita income, unemployment rates, housing affordability, growth of the college-educated population, crowding, traffic congestion) Austin, Texas and New Orleans take the the top two spots. According to the Daily Beast, these are ideal cities because they “are places where people can enjoy the cultural amenities and attitudes of ‘progressive’ blue states but in a distinctly red-state environment of low costs, less regulation, and lower taxes.” Indeed, “building a career, buying a home and, ultimately, raising a family in relative comfort” are much more difficult in “progressive” San Francisco (No. 24), New York (No. 46), and Los Angeles (No. 51).

Here are the top 15, based 50 percent on the economy, 25 percent on quality of life, and 25 percent on demographic factors:

1 AUSTIN, TX

2 NEW ORLEANS, LA

3 HOUSTON, TX

4 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

5 RALEIGH, NC

6 NASHVILLE, TN

7 RICHMOND, VA

8 WASHINGTON, DC

9 SAN ANTONIO, TX

10 MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN

11 DALLAS, TX

12 SEATTLE, WA

13 SALT LAKE CITY, UT

14 CHARLOTTE, NC

15 COLUMBUS, OH

It’s a sign of America’s vast territory and dynamic economy that these cities are becoming more vibrant and livable as cities like Detroit, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles face serious problems. Oklahoma City may never have the art galleries of New York, and it may be a while before Salt Lake City accrues the rich cultural heritage of Chicago. But young American professionals and their families today have plenty of good options for where to put down roots and build their lives.

The relative absence of blue cities on this and other lists is telling, and ironic. Many cities shaped by blue policies are no longer hospitable to those looking for growth and opportunity; it seems only the wealthy can enjoy them. Ultimately, the kind of government that makes having children or starting a business risky life decisions is a failed government.
