OF THE
TIMES
... three weeks after the no-fly zone was established, Chris Stevens, who was the gunrunner to the rebels, delivered 20,000 MANPAD and shoulder-mounted, shoulder-to-air rockets to Al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood in Libya. Twenty thousand of them! This is after the no-fly zone had been established. ... Well, some time later that's what bit Chris Stevens and caused them to have him assassinated because the rest of the countries around Libya (Chad, Niger) complained to NATO and said, "Libya's like a sieve and there are weapons coming out of Libya through our country. We can't stop it. Y'all have to do something about it. They're coming out with all kinds of weapons and rockets and everything."
...
Chris Stevens was funnelling all the weapons to Syria. He was funnelling mercenaries that were being trained in Libya later too. He was assassinated. ... the proof that we brought forward was, Morsi was the coordinator. It was Ansar al-Sharia and Muslim Brotherhood ... Six weeks before it ever happened, we were told by the Libyan tribes that one of the generals that was embedded with Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda, said, "They are planning attacks on US soil in Libya, in Yemen, etc. It's going to happen on 9/11." ... Well, that has to be the embassies. ... incidentally, for the world to know, [Benghazi] was never anything but a CIA safe house. It was never a consulate. It was never an embassy. It was never intended to be that. Never had a US flag. Not one car that was there ever had an ambassador or political plate. They all had Libyan licence plates. Libya only has one authorized US embassy. It's in Tripoli.
... But the night the fighting started, the man that served dinner to Stevens and the representative from Turkey, that "servant", if you would, was one of the spies for the Libyan tribes. And he understands English very well. And the discussion they were having at dinner was Chris Stevens was pleading with this Turkish representative to talk to Erdogan, who is the leader of Turkey, to use his influence to get those 20,000 rockets back. And he said, "We will pay handsomely, whatever it takes to get those back. We've got get 'em back. They're causing us political problems."
And the Turkish representative, for all practical purposes, told him to pound sand. They finished dinner. The Turk left that mansion, was put in a fast vehicle, driven to the military airport in Benghazi and flown by military aircraft back to Turkey. When the plane sat down on the ground in Turkey, that's when the three coordinators of the attack on that mansion called in the attack. And we know the names, addresses and phone numbers of those three guys because their families gave them up. They were ashamed of them.
...
Q: Well why would the US government want to get rid of Chris Stevens?
A: Dead men tell no tales. Those 20,000 rockets were going to come back and bite the US in the ass.
Which, incidentally, should also not come as a surprise in light of the May 2015 declassified Pentagon report, which claimed that ISIS was created as a Pentagon tool to overthrow Syria's president Assad.Update (Dec. 28): The United States has denied what it calls "ludicrous" claims by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Western coalition forces are backing "terrorist" groups in Syria, including the Islamic State (IS).
Nevertheless, the "pot calling the kettle black" comes at a sensitive time for both the US and Turkey, which are both pivoting aggressively, one internally from Obama to Trump, while the other is shifting its foreign geopolitical allegiance from the US to Russia, which may also explain today's outburst by Erdogan.
Saying that the US have accused Turkey of supporting IS, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday the Turkish leader blamed the US-led coalition for assisting terrorists themselves. Apart from IS, he also mentioned Kurdish People's Protection Units in northern Syria (YPG) and Democratic Union Party (PYD) as groups supported by the coalition.
Earlier on Tuesday, Moscow accused Washington of "sponsoring terrorism" in Syria. Commenting on the latest National Defense Authorization Act signed into law by President Barack Obama, the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that the new bill "openly stipulates the possibility" of delivering more weapons to Syria, and added that those arms "will soon find their way to the jihadists," which Russia would view as a "hostile act."
Erdogan's comments echoed those from the Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan, who told RT that Washington appears unready to play a serious role in fighting Islamic State, as it has fostered terrorists itself and now wants them to remain in the Middle East.
"The Western coalition is of a formal nature, they have no real intention to fight neither in Syria nor in Iraq. We don't see any readiness on their part to play a truly useful and meaningful role in fighting IS, because it's them who have raised terrorists and they are interested in keeping them there," Dehghan said.
According to the Iranian defense minister, Tehran has never coordinated its operations with the Americans and "will never collaborate with them."
He then slammed the US' motives behind the "war on ISIS' saying that "maybe the coalition forces would like to see terrorists weakened, but certainly not destroyed, because those terrorists are their tool for destabilizing this region and some other parts of the world."
One wonders how long before Putin is blamed for this latest political scandal, because if indeed Erdogan does provide proof of US support for the Islamic State, then the Pentagon will need a back story very fast, and what better scapegoat than the Russian president.
Erdogan said on December 27 that he has evidence that, rather than supporting Turkey, the West is backing IS, which has been the target of U.S. air strikes in Syria and Iraq since 2014.
Erdogan made a similar claim on a visit to Pakistan last month, alleging that "the West stands by Daesh right now" and that its weapons were Western-made.
U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner called those accusations "ludicrous" and said there was no basis in fact for them.
Kommentar: We may never be privy to the full and accurate accounts of Benghazi, Libya, ISIS, Syria and others, nor have full confirmation of nefarious activities and coverups by the CIA and the Obama administration. Secrets tend to stay hidden. Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon societies to seek the truth when nefarious activities and covert agendas destroy cultures, countries and the rights and liberties of the people.
