What in the World is going on Here?

Call of Booty

Cliff Kincaid brings Republican Majority Leader into the mix of Benghazigate and Petraeus/Allen-gate.

Yes there is a definite appearance of a connection between a Benghazi Murder Cover-up and the extramarital affairs of former CIA Director/General David Petraeus and General John Allen.

The question that requires an answer is “WHY?”

Since it is proven the Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew of both the nature of a Benghazi Consulate impending murder and at least the affair of David Petraeus, WHY in the world or perhaps HOW in the world did this cascade of information fail to become President?

Unless you are an idiot you know why it the information was covered up. President Barack Hussein Obama KNEW the layers of scandal and who was aware of what would cast a pall on his reelection chances. Voters would have to believe Conservatives such as I that maintain that Obama deceived Americans before 2008 and through his first term in the Office of President.

Check it out friends! Eric Cantor had the opportunity to at least expose part of this cover-up and failed. Maybe Obama had something on Cantor as well and hushed him up too. Or perhaps Cantor did not make the connection between Benghazigate and Petraeusgate. Out of respect for the awesome good Petraeus has performed for America he didn’t want to rock the Petraeus image. If that was the case then Cantor may naively felt Obama would not rock Petraeus’ image either.

Whatever the case (Lucy) there is some ‘splaining’ to do (think of a Desi Arnaz command pertaining to a Lucille Ball screw-up).

Why Did Cantor Protect Obama?
Eric Cantor

The central figures in the David Petraeus sex scandal are not talking. That includes Virginia Congressman and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Yet, the decision by this top Republican to turn to the FBI rather than his colleagues in the House with inside information about the scandal has proven to be monumental, a development that enabled Barack Obama to win the presidency without getting tainted by the allegations of immorality and corruption that are now the subject of daily news reports.

The record shows that Cantor had knowledge of the affair from an FBI whistleblower before the election but decided not to go public with the allegations of high-level misconduct by the CIA director. He stayed silent as Obama campaigned for re-election as a foreign policy statesman and efficient manager of America’s national security interests.

Cantor understood the stakes. In an October 22 column, Cantor had declared, “The American people deserve a president who recognizes that the war on terrorism is not over. They deserve a president who is dedicated to maintaining American pre-eminence in the world and who will protect our military budget, not cut it. They deserve a president who will restore and grow America’s alliances, who will prove America to be a reliable partner and a fierce enemy.”

But when he was given the David Petraeus scandal on a silver platter by an FBI whistleblower, more than a week before the election, Cantor turned the information over to the FBI, the same agency which had been conducting the cover-up on Obama’s behalf. Indeed, this cover-up is why the whistleblower came to Cantor. The predictable result of going to the FBI, headed by Robert Mueller, who was re-appointed by Obama, is that nothing was done and Obama won the election.

If Cantor had gone public, the fallout from the scandal would have rocked Obama’s presidency just before Election Day. Because the allegations were based on inside information provided by a whistleblower and were true and could not be denied, Cantor’s revelations could not have been automatically dismissed as partisan or political in nature. The FBI whistleblower might have been persuaded to go public as well.

In one of the latest developments, which demonstrates the serious nature of the scandal, Jennifer Griffin of Fox News has confirmed that Petraeus mistress Paula Broadwell did release classified information in a public forum when talking about the CIA holding prisoners at a facility in Libya. It is likely that Broadwell got the information from Petraeus.

Cantor’s failure to go public or even tell his colleagues about the scandal in advance is starting to attract more interest from the press.

“House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has some tall explaining to do to the leadership on Capitol Hill,” notes Washington Post columnist Colbert King.

King, a liberal, hit the target on this one, asking why Cantor only went to the FBI with the information. He asks, “Why didn’t Cantor raise the alarm? The majority leader needs to step up to the mic.” King notes that members of Congress are livid over being kept in the dark by the FBI about the scandal.

The only reporter to confront Cantor about his strange handling of the explosive allegations is WTVR CBS 6 Richmond, Virginia, reporter Joe St. George. Cantor told him, “I had some information that I felt was information that raised some concerns and potentially could have some impact for our nation’s security.” St. George asked Cantor about the decision to not release the information publicly prior to the election. “I don’t want to comment, I don’t think it’s something we want to politicize—I think this is a national security concern,” Cantor said.

These are fine sentiments. However, according to a November 10 article by Scott Shane and Eric Schmitt of The New York Times, Cantor’s chief of staff, Steve Stombres, called the FBI on October 31 to tell them about the call Cantor had received from the FBI whistleblower. “They took the information,” Doug Heye, Cantor’s deputy chief of staff, was quoted as saying, “and gave the standard answer: they were not able to confirm or deny any investigation, but said that all necessary steps were being taken to make sure no confidential information was at risk.”

In other words, the FBI was stonewalling Cantor. Informing the FBI had gotten nowhere. The cover-up was continuing, at least through Election Day, and Cantor at this point had to know it.

While Cantor refuses to talk in detail about why he only went to the FBI with the information, the FBI whistleblower who confided in Cantor is now under attack by the liberal press as someone “obsessed” with the case and too close to one of the participants in the scandal.

The lesson is clear: don’t go to the House Republicans with any inside knowledge of Obama Administration scandals.

PETRAEUS...SCAPEGOATED BY TRAITORS

Danny Jeffrey places the affair/sex scandal sweeping around American hero David Petraeus in correct perspective. Jeffrey points out the hypocrisy of impugning Petraeus’ honor when there are plenty of modern disgraces that Americans have looked the other way. Then Jeffrey looks at great men in American history that also flirted in the realm of moral failure yet is still highly regarded as American heroes.

A few examined American heroes with moral failures yet still on a historical pedestal:

PETRAEUS...SCAPEGOATED BY TRAITORS

By Danny Jeffrey
November 13, 2012

Mark Antony in the play Julius Caesar, stated "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with the bones.". Today we see a self righteous public quite ready to inter the General, a man dishonored under some very dubious circumstances, and that brings to mind one of my all time favorite quotes: "Public opinion be damned!" I subscribe to the attitude found in that quote for the public is so fickle, so judgmental, and so easily manipulated.
David Petraeus - 4 star general
Pause and take a good look at the General. There above his breast pocket is a set of Master Jump Wings. That means that he has spent more time suspended from a parachute than many who would judge him have spent in church. Almost concealed under his lapel is the C.I.B. Combat Infantry Badge. That tells me that he has shouldered a weapon and said "Follow me!" Men followed, and undoubtedly some died, but he was up front, while they followed his lead. Look at all of those ribbons between the wings and the C.I.B. Each tell of service to this nation.

Now, to cover up the actions of traitors, an indiscretion by this warrior has been unveiled and that indiscretion will properly be judged by his wife and God. None other has the right, in my humble opinion. To those who would judge, I offer these famous words. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."


So many are writing and showing videos that tell you the General was set up, and giving you all of the nitty gritty details that prove their point. Their point is made. You and I both know that Petraeus is being used as no more than a sacrificial goat. I shall avoid repeating their message and telling you what you already know, I simply hate following a beaten path. Instead I shall pursue, not the event itself, but the tactics that prompted the event and the ramifications of this tragic assault if it is allowed to continue, as per plan, on a servant of America.


I shall now go from a great warrior to a diabolical genius, and two more quotes. Rules three and four from Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals".



3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) ...

This is being enacted before our eyes and it is working, as per plan. America was putting pressure on the media to confront the Benghazi issue. Suddenly, we were blindsided, and a new and irrelevant topic was interjected, one that the media thrives on, a sex scandal involving an American hero is now on the front page. As I stated, Alinsky was a diabolical genius, and his followers learned well.

4."Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules ... You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."

We are being killed with this rule. The media are not discussing Obama's gay affiliations in Chicago, nor are they discussing JFK's numerous girl friends, or the stains on Monica Lewinsky's dress. They have a conservative, a Republican, a military hero to castigate, and like Soros' puppets, many of our own people are tossing Petraeus under the proverbial bus. Public opinion be damned! I see no way to justify sacrificing this man to feed the smoke screen of Obama's deceptions. Let the General and his wife work it out. We have other issues to concentrate on.

Allow me, if you will to present you with two Generals, two betrayals, and two different degrees of danger to America. First General Petraeus with his infidelity to a marriage. A tragedy to be sure, an all too common tragedy, but that is a personal issue that is being politicized, and I fail to see where it presents any real degree of danger to this nation.

Then we have General Colin Powell who has, as of late, grown quite friendly with Luis Farrakhan, leader of the a militant black Islamic movement, hell bent on subjugating the white race and ruling America.Colin Powell hanging with Farrakhan Now, I must ask where is the clear and present danger, and what is the media choosing to focus on. No General is perfect but some are loyal to America, while some are not.



I do not follow the mainstream media at all but would bet that in the near future, as part of their smoke screen, more American heroes will be tossed onto the fire to continue the distraction from Benghazi. A few I might suggest: General Eisenhower, while in Europe during WWII had a girlfriend named Kay Summersby, Benjamin Franklin was a well known womanizer both here and in Europe, and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, one of whom was named Sally Hemings, who was the mother of his children. 

Should we reject the good these men did because they were mere mortals? Should we turn on General Petraeus because he failed to be a saint? I for one have never expected a saint to lead men into combat. I expect him to kill this nation's enemies, not save their souls. So far I am under the impression that he has done that job quite well.


And what of other Generals and Admirals who have served us well? This is where it gets really scary. Can you in all honesty expect these warriors to have all been squeaky clean all of their lives. If we allow Obama's plan to play out, and we, in our indignation, turn our backs on Petraeus, then we open the floodgates of blackmail and extortion that will come crashing about these men.
 

Obama is planning to cripple this nation and bring it to its knees. If we throw Petraeus to the wolves we throw the entire military with him, and our military is the last bastion of patriotism and hope for a just America. These men and women in the uniforms of flag officers know far more than we about what Obama is doing. If we forsake them I guarantee you that will be the greatest betrayal of all, for in doing so we betray ourselves. These warriors are only human. Be thankful for what they have contributed, and a little more understanding of their shortcomings.


Since Obama entered office we have been beset by numerous choices and crossroads, usually veiled by smokescreens and lies. Once again we stand at a crossroad and the choice facing us is do we dance to the tune of the puppet masters and turn on our own, or do we stand by a man who admits he erred. In my mind we have a choice to either stand by him, or do as Obama whats (sic) us to do, and stand down.
 

Hmm ... That rings a bell.

About Danny Jeffrey:

I'm sixty seven and since Ronald Reagan left office I have watched my country slowly deteriorate as freedoms are lost and the value of our currency dwindles. This has been a slow but steady decline until Barrack Obama entered the White House. I will not refer to this man as President. That is a job that deserves respect and he has earned none at all. I am convinced that were it not for the Tea Party stirring up the public we would now be living under a total dictatorship. He seeks only power and has no loyalty at all to the United States, and as long as he is in office I shall write to any who will read and speak of what he is and what he is doing to this country.
