Surprise: State Department labeled Benghazi ‘terrorism event’ within hours

posted at 5:21 pm on May 27, 2015 by Guy Benson
hotair.com

This isn’t a “bombshell revelation” per se, because multiple strands of evidence have pointed to this truth for some time. For starters, then-CIA director David Petraeus told CNN that the US government knew the Benghazi massacre was a terrorist act “almost immediately,” and a State Department email sent the morning after the attack accurately pinned the blame on Ansar al-Sharia. Documents obtained by Judicial Watch last week revealed that both State and Defense quickly identified the deadly raid as the work of terrorists, citing evidence that the ambush was retaliation for the killing of a high-ranking jihadist and had been carefully planned for days. And here’s Judicial Watch’s latest:

Judicial Watch today released new State Department documents showing the Benghazi attack was called a “terrorism event” almost immediately after the attack took place. Another document suggests that Hillary Clinton tasked an official to contact the FBI, evidently not knowing that the FBI was already on the Benghazi matter under longstanding State Department counterterrorism response protocols. The new documents were forced from the U.S. State Department under court order in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. … Less than eight hours after the attacks, around 6 a.m. on September 12, 2012, the State Department Diplomatic Security “Command Center Team Site” sent out a “Benghazi Event Notification” to “ALCON:” The DS Command Center is sharing the following terrorism event information for your situational awareness…

Another interesting tidbit:

Another State Department document lists 18 Embassy and other State Department sites in the Middle East, Africa, and UK, all but one of which are listed as being targeted by “protests.” Benghazi is the only city that has no listing of “protests,” and lists instead the situation as “Attack on US Consulate.” The document is undated but seems to have been created a few days after the Benghazi attack.

A few points. (1) That last bolded excerpt seems relevant in light of the White House’s risible spin that yet another belatedly-unearthed Benghazi email (which also contradicted the administration’s story) wasn’t about Benghazi. Of course it was. Team Obama carefully calibrated and coordinated their public statements about Benghazi because, as off-the-books consigliere Sid Blumenthal warned Hillary Clinton at the time, the 9/11/12 attack threatened to pack a potent political punch. (2) JW makes this point explicitly in their press release, but it bears repeating: “The new documents were forced from the US State Department under court order” in the wake of a FOIA lawsuit. The Obama administration, while busy dismissing Benghazi as a “phony scandal” and old news, claimed to have surrendered all pertinent emails to Congressional investigators. And yet new emails continue to appear, often after protracted legal fights. Remember, the public wouldn’t know that Hillary Clinton’s secret email server even existed if not for Trey Gowdy’s select committee investigating Benghazi. (3) Despite ample available evidence to the contrary, top Obama officials — including Sec. Clinton — clung to the bogus “spontaneous protest/YouTube video” talking point for weeks. Several days after various assessments concluded that Benghazi had been an orchestrated terrorist attack, Clinton was still angrily denouncing obscure online clip in public and peddling false stories to bereaved relatives in private. Former acting CIA director Mike Morell has affirmed that the “demonstrations” line didn’t come from the agency, and the late Amb. Stevens’ top deputy in Libya testified that the YouTube video was a “ non-event” in that country. When Clinton was confronted over the administration’s misleading tales under oath, she delivered her now-infamous “what difference, at this point, does it make?” response, a version of which she repeated over the controversial Bowe Bergdahl deal (by the way, there are a few updates on that front today).

I tend to fall into the camp that the “real” scandal of Benghazi isn’t so much the cynical, political cover-up, but rather the woefully inadequate security that allowed the slaughter to take place in the first place — in spite of repeated warnings and glaring warning signs. The administration’s catastrophically failed Libya policy should also receive more attention than it does, especially given Sec. Clinton’s explicitly-stated “ ownership/stewardship” of that trainwreck. That being said, how can you not be disgusted by this?

Jorge Ramos Does The Interview American MSM Won’t



Ann Coulter’s new book, Adios America! The Left’s Plan To Turn Our Country Into A Third World Hell Hole, will be released on June 1, 2015.


I finally found a Mexican willing to do a job no American will do! I have an explosive book on the No. 1 issue in the country coming out next week, I’ve already written 10 New York Times best-sellers—I’d be on a postage stamp if I were a liberal—but can’t get an interview on ABC, NBC or CBS. Only Mexican-born Jorge Ramos would interview me on his Fusion network. Yay, Jorge!

After a spellbinding interview, Ramos ended by asking this excellent question— which I had suggested myself for all authors, most of whom write very boring books, harming the marketability of my own books: “Is there anything in your book that isn’t already generally known?”

My soon-to-be-released book, Adios, America! The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, is jam-packed with facts you didn’t already know. Don’t even think of using it as a coaster, like those other books.

These are just a few:


  • Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 Immigration Act was expressly designed to change the demographics of our country to be poorer and more inclined to vote Democratic.
  • It worked! Post- 1970 immigrants vote 8-2 for the Democrats.
  • Citing this dramatic shift in the Democratic Party’s fortunes, Democratic consultant Patrick Reddy called the 1965 Immigration Act “the Kennedy family’s greatest gift to the Democratic Party.” [ PDF]
  • Immigrants admitted before 1970 made more money, bought more houses and were more educated than Americans. The post-Kennedy immigrants are astronomically less-educated, poorer and more likely to be on welfare than the native population.
  • With no welfare state to support them, about a third of pre-1965 Act immigrants returned to the places they came from. British and Jewish immigrants were the least likely to go home—less than 10 percent did.
  • Although America is admitting more immigrants, they are coming from fewer countries than they did before 1970. On liberals’ own terms, the country is becoming less “diverse,” but a lot poorer and a lot more Latin.
  • America has already taken in one-fourth of Mexico’s entire population.
  • In 1970, there were almost no Nigerian immigrants in the United States. Our country is now home to more Nigerians than any country in the world except Nigeria.
  • America takes more immigrants from Nigeria than from England.
  • The government refuses to tell us how many prisoners in the United States are immigrants. That information is not available anywhere. But the ancillary facts suggest that the number is astronomical.
  • There are more foreign inmates in New York state prisons from Mexico than from the entire continent of Europe.
  • Hispanics are less likely to be in the military than either whites or blacks, and a majority of Hispanic troops are women. On the other hand, Hispanics are overrepresented in U.S. Prisons.
  • In Denmark, actual Danes come in tenth in criminals’ nationality, after Moroccans, Lebanese, Yugoslavians, Somalis, Iranians, Pakistanis, Turks, Iraqis and Vietnamese.
  • At least 15 percent of all births in Peru and Argentina are to girls between the ages of 10 and 15. In the U.S., only 2 percent of births are to girls that young, and those are mostly Hispanics, who are seven times more likely to give birth at that age than white girls are.
  • Sex with girls as young as 12 years old is legal in 31 of the 32 states of Mexico.
  • In all of Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel combined, there have been eight reported births to girls aged 10 or younger. Seven of the eight were impregnated by immigrants.
  • In some areas of America, law enforcement authorities have given up on prosecuting statutory rape cases against Mexican men in their 30s who impregnate 12- and 13-year-old girls, after repeatedly encountering parents who view their little girls’ pregnancies as a “blessing.”
  • The same North Carolina newspapers that gave flood-the-zone coverage to a rape that never happened at a Duke lacrosse party completely ignore real rapes happening right under their noses, being committed against children by immigrants providing cheap labor to the state’s farming and meat-packing industries.
  • Since 2004, Mexicans have beheaded at least a half-dozen people in the United States.
  • Mexican drug cartels—not ISIS—pioneered the practice of posting videotaped beheadings online.
  • An alleged “ISIS” beheading video making the rounds in 2014 was actually a Mexican beheading video from 2010.
  • Post-1970 immigrants have re-introduced slavery to America. Indian immigrant Lakireddy Bali Reddy, for example, used the H1-B visa program, allegedly for “high-tech workers,” to bring in 12-year-old girls he had bought from their parents for sex.
  • The above story was missed by the San Francisco Chronicle. It was broken by a high school journalism class.
  • The ACLU took Reddy’s side.
  • We’re still letting in Hmong immigrants as a reward for their help with the ill-fated Vietnam War, which ended 40 years ago.
  • Between 2000 and 2005, nearly 100 Hmong men were charged with rape or forced prostitution of girls in Minneapolis-St Paul, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The vast majority of the victims were 15 years old or younger. A quarter of the victims were not Hmong.
  • Proponents of the 1965 immigration bill swore up and down that it would not alter this country’s demographic mix. In fact, Kennedy’s immigration policy has brought about the greatest demographic shift of any nation in world history.
  • In 1980, Reagan won the biggest electoral landslide in history against an incumbent president, Jimmy Carter. Without the last 40 years of immigration, in 2012, Mitt Romney would have won a bigger landslide than Reagan did. He got more of the “Reagan coalition” than Reagan did.
  • If Romney had won 71 percent of the Hispanic vote, he still would have lost. If he’d gotten just 4 percent more of the white vote, he would have won.
Adios, America! In bookstores next Monday, June 1.
