CNN reported yesterday that in September 2012, 21 Americans worked in a building known as The Annex next to an American diplomatic consulate in Benghazi. The Annex is believed to have been run by the central intelligence agency. It has not been publicly acknowledged until this week.
Background: Link to Timeline of Libyan War/”revolution”
In the wake of the Libyan War, NATO was natonbuilding at an extreme pace in Libya. If another Arab Spring revolt ‘transitioned to democracy’ smoothly, the movement would surely spread organically to Syria, Iran, and Central Asia.
The thorn in their side was al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, one of many names for a disparate group inspired by, but not directly connected to the al Qaeda we know. Surprisingly(!), these islamic radicals that the West had funded and armed to overthrow Qaddafi were still causing problems in Libya. Once the dictator was dead, officials mostly blamed AQIM’s work on “Qaddafi loyalists,” but really they are the same dangerous people who France is fighting in Mali and who took hostages at an oil rig in the Sahara in January. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb wanted Libya for themselves, no western infuence, no western banks. Many Libyans supported them.
They especially wanted Benghazi. The city had long been a center of the Muslim Brotherhood, and it was where the revolt against Qaddafi started. During the war it was the center of the opposition to him.
(update: up to 1000 detainees were broken out of a political prison in Benghazi last week)
The Annex was set up to fight AQIM near Benghazi and stabilize eastern Libya under the government in Tripoli.
It Gets Ugly:
In the summer of 2012, a series of ceasefires failed in Syria. People went into the streets, they were beaten back by the regime. Occasional bombings and assassinations mixed it up. Up until this point, the Syrian crisis was a problem of a brutal government cracking down on generally peaceful (at first) protesters. Very Arab Spring-y, maybe even pluralist and liberal. But, the people hadn’t begun to fight back en masse against their government yet.
Syria, long a thorn in the side of the US, NATO, the Gulf and Israel, the only steadfast ally of Iran was ready to fall, if only someone could be found to do the dirty work.
Back in Libya in summer 2012, the violence was getting worse and it began to look like stopping AQIM from flying al Qaeda flags in Benghazi or the Muslim Brotherhood from gaining political power might not be possible.
At this point, the story gets hazy. This is my theory and some evidence:
- The Americans came up with a plan to transfer their problem in Libya to Syria, where it would be Assad’s problem.
- The Annex in Benghazi served as a launching point for buying back the weapons they had ‘donated’ to topple Qaddafi, and maybe even facilitating the movement of fighters from Libya, through Turkey to Syria.
- Unsubstantiated reports suggest that Ambassador Stevens went to Benghazi to facilitate the buyback of Stinger missiles from AQIM.

May 11, 2012: Guardian: Al-Qaida has presence in Syria, says Leon Panetta
July 2012: Syria threatened to use chemical weapons on a “foreign force” of fighters.
“Any stock of W.M.D. or unconventional weapons that the Syrian Army possesses will never, never be used against the Syrian people or civilians during this crisis, under any circumstances,” a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Jihad Makdissi, said at a news conference shown live on Syrian state television, using the initials for weapons of mass destruction. “These weapons are made to be used strictly and only in the event of external aggression against the Syrian Arab Republic.”
August 1, 2012: Reuters: President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government.
August 6, 2012: Council on Foreign Relations: The Syrian rebels would be immeasurably weaker today without al-Qaeda in their ranks.
Sept. 6, 2012: CBS: Putin suggests U.S. backing al Qaeda in Syria civil war
Sept 11, 2012: Reuters (the next day): Al Qaeda leader urges support for ousting Syria’s Assad.
The Attack: Evening, Sept. 11, 2012
According to CNN, as many as 35 Americans were on the ground in Benghazi that night, mostly the CIA agents and contractors who worked there, but also the Ambassador and his staff, visiting from the capitol Tripoli.
All we know is that something went wrong. Whether al Qaeda planned to kidnap or kill the ambassador as vengeance or something else, the shaky ‘alliance’ between the CIA and AQIM was broken for that night.
The Coverup:
The agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever happened remains a secret. This guarantees that it was something illegal. Be it the transfer of weapons from militants in Libya to Syria, the support of militants who would volunteer to go to Syria, or the purchase of weapons from militants in Libya. They are reportedly threatening peoples’ families and giving monthly polygraph exams to ensure no one talks (this is toward the bottom of the CNN article linked in link 1).
Changing their names and spreading them across the country
We could go through in a timeline of which administration officials lied on which day, but really, any time an Obama Administration official spoke publicly about this, they were not telling the truth. Press Secretary Jay Carney called the benghazi scandal a “phony scandal” on WEDNESDAY.
Link to timeline: Feb to October 2012
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, John Kerry have all committed and covered up crimes rivalling what took place in Iran Contra or Watergate.
June 18, 2013: CNN: Analyst: Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria now best-equipped of the group
- tl;dr
- CIA or State Dept. made a deal with an al Qaeda affiliate: Disarm and leave Libya, we will pay you to go to fight in Syria.
- Deal backfired, AQ attacked the Ambassador.
- Obama Admin. covered it up.
Libyan gun running and the CIA cover up in Benghazi. A Congressional enquiry has just been announced (self.conspiracy)
submitted 3 years ago by Ian56
Boehner has just stated that he is going to open a Congressional enquiry, which is to be chaired by Trey Gowdy.
The attack on the Consulate in Benghazi was the result of CIA gun running from Benghazi to Syria and one of the Islamic Extremist groups falling out with the CIA.
Benghazi gun running is the real scandal – the red line and the rat line http://patriotsbillboard.org/benghazi-gun-running-is-the-real-scandal-the-red-line-and-the-rat-line/
The 400 ton weapons shipment from Benghazi to Syria, via Turkey, as reported in the London Times http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/05/us-foreign-policy-in-one-picture.html

Unanswered questions from the previous Benghazi hearings in July 2013 and the Obama/Clinton cover up. The 30 or so CIA people from the annex are being silenced and subject to bi-monthly polygraph tests to ensure they don’t leak http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/05/unanswered-questions-from-benghazi.html
Benghazi e-mails to Sanders basement dwellers: Damaging Clinton “leaks” – for dummies (self.conspiracy)

Damaging Clinton “leaks” – for dummies
All leaks are staged. (1)
As for why illuminati have no problems with “leaks” causing Clinton to lose votes: she has no votes to lose to start with.
Reductionism: two illuminati jokes in one “leak” based line
1.) About the human cattle participating in Clinton v Trump discussions:
“Clinton’s Campaign Probably Just Ended: Leaked Audio Bashing Sanders Supporters“.
2.) About the human cattle that supported Sanders:
The second part of the previous joke, “Leaked Audio Bashing Sanders Supporters” alias the basement dwellers.
Note
(1) Leaks ALWAYS staged, from pedoleaks to “Whistleblower: government is spying on you”

House Report on Benghazi Incident (x-post from /r/DiscoverTheTruth) (self.conspiracy)
submitted 2 years ago by blackvault
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives issued their report on the Benghazi attack. One of their conclusions stated, “…the Committee finds that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks.” (Source: http://theblackvault.com/m/articles/view/Benghazi-Attack-9-11-2012#HouseNovember2014)
Just like 9/11/01, 9/11/12 was a MASSIVE intelligence failure, and I believe there is more evidence that neither the House nor the Senate has seen and it’s provable.
Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) I requested documentation regarding intelligence gathered by the FBI that detailed any threats against the United States, that may occur on or around 9/11/12. The FBI informed me there were multiple pages in response to my request (so they admit it exists), but they were entirely withheld as they were classified (Source: http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/terrorism/benghazi/fbibenghazi.pdf) Could this relate to Benghazi and provide proof of an intelligence failure?
I wrote multiple Senators and Representatives… and I only received a response from Senator Dianne Feinstein stating no more resources should be allocated to Benghazi, believed there was nothing to find with investigating it further and ignored my question as to who had seen (if anyone) the FBI responsive material. I have not seen this material referenced anywhere in any report or transcript, unless I missed it somewhere. So is this a missing piece of the puzzle that could negate the House findings?
I believe that in 50 years from now – we will learn the Republican controlled House, along with the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence was somehow bribed, paid off or swindled to issue some of their conclusions in this report. I do not believe this investigation holds the truth – and the public remains in the dark about what truly happened at Benghazi on 9/11/12.
I’ve looked at a lot of conspiracy theories in my time, and this one had motive, means and opportunity for one of the biggest cover-ups of our time.
[ORIGINAL] Hillary’s Emails – On the Trail of Benghazi. (self.conspiracy)
submitted 1 year ago by SuchBSdotcom
I’ve been following the Clinton Email story closely since June of 2015. Hardly anyone is going back and probing the GUCCIFER hack from 2013, which broke the Clinton story. The people behind sending her the private intelligence memos, Sydney Blumenthal, Cody Shearer, and Tyler Drumheller, pop up again and again in the events leading up to the Libyan war and the Benghazi attack.
I’m convinced that, to uncover what happened at Benghazi, we need to investigate the “Clinton Spy Network.” This article is why I came to that conclusion. It’s a little long, so I’m linking it, but it is fully sourced.
