Don’t These State Dept Emails Counter The “video” Spin On Benghazi?


THESE EMAILS WERE SENT BY THE STATE DEPT “AS THE ATTACK WAS GOING ON!” AND – WHY WERE THE EMAIL ADDRESSES (including the White House Situation Room) LATER “DELETED?”

“A series of internal State Department emails obtained by Fox News shows some of the initial assessments of last month’s deadly consulate attack in Libya, including one email within hours of the attack that noted the group Ansar al Sharia had claimed responsibility.
The emails provide some of the most detailed information to surface about what officials knew in the initial hours after the attack. And it again raises questions about why U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, apparently based on intelligence assessments, would claim five days after the attack that it was a ‘spontaneous’ reaction to protests over an anti-Islam film.
Ansar al Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be an Al Qaeda-affiliated group. A member of the group suspected of participating in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi has been arrested and is being held in Tunisia.
The emails obtained by Fox News were sent by the State Department to a variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence.
Fox News was told that an estimated 300 to 400 national security figures received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out and concluding. People who received these emails work directly under the nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials, Fox News was told.”

Why Do Folks Continue To Trust Fox “news”?


During the 2008 campaign a Fox affiliate somewhere in the midwest sent a reporter and a cameraman to a small cafe- there were about 20 customers present, and the Fox reporter went around and asked every single customer for whom they were going to vote. Without a single exception, the answer was “Obama”. After which the reporter looked into the camera, and said, “Well Ted, as you can see, it’s about evenly divided.” How he managed to say this with a straight face is beyond me. This is the “fair & balanced” reporting Fox tries to claim. Really….. what DOES it take for people to realize how bad Fox is?

Do You Find Liberals Irrational Nonsense About Fox News To Be Amusing?


It’s very hard to respect liberals as a thinking group of intelligent people when they believe in and propagate such irrational nonsense about a news organization that is does nothing more than lean to the right to fill a niche that the mainstream media ignores. Jeez… open your minds.

What Makes Conservatives Think That Their Campaign Of Media Slander Against Ows Is Working?


FACT: The tactics being used by Conservative organizations to discredit the OWS movement through the creation of incidents are essentially identical to the tactics used by police against squatter camps in the novel The Grapes of Wrath.
FACT: Conservative muckracker James O’Keefe was in the Zucotti Park area during the time of the OWS protest. There is video of him in the area and that video was broadcast on Rachel Maddow’s program.
FACT: The photo which appeared in multiple Rupert Murdoch (FOX News) owned outlets proclaimed to be a photo of an OWS protester defecating on a police car was actually taken in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn NY and is actually just a picture of a random homeless person – not someone who is affiliated in any way with the OWS movement.
FACT: In every single incident of violence or looting related to the OWS movement there are multiple eyewitness accounts of the persons who committed the violent acts being strangers to protesters, having a hostile attitude towards the other protesters, and disappearing from the protest area immediately following the acts of violence.
FACT: Conservative media outlets have hyped the negative stories relentlessly and have completely ignored all evidence which suggest that these incidents may be part of a concerted effort by Conservative Republicans to discredit the OWS movement.

What Does The Following Information Tell Us About The Right And The Left?


In an example of one of many similarities to be found by those who choose to read and find factual evidence instead of being told what to think by major media outlets who espouse one or the other of two ideological standpoints:
By 2009, Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd had recieved $280,000 in donations from insurer AIG, a major player in the “bailout” situation which contributed to our current financial woes.
Barack Obama received $104,000 from AIG in his 2008 campaign
George W. Bush received $200,000 through the course of his campaigns.
John McCain recieved $99,000 at the same time that Obama received $104,000 in 2008.
Companies like AIG, Goldman Sachs,(of which Timothy Geithner is a former employee), and corporations in different areas of commerce such as Monsanto, have continually benefited no matter the political party in power, and have taken more and more power and hegemony to themselves.
Is it possible, as a modifier to the question, that more ambiguous differences used to stoke the fires of hatred and intolerance among the “right” and the “left” of the American populace, and which are never really fully addressed or resolved in any real way, such as abortion, gay rights, “big” vs. “small” government, etc, are purposefully exacerbated in order to keep the American people from thinking and acting collectively so that questions about where power is really placed and how it affects all of us regardless of ideological differences are never asked?
FOX News, the “Conservative” news, is owned by the gigantic “News Corp”, which controls a disproportionate amount of media outlets including many newspapers and other mediums, and which has ties to other corporate interests.
MSNBC, the “Liberal” news, is owned by GE, who owns all NBC affiliates and outlets, is associated through stock holdings to many other corporations, and which is also one of the world’s top ten defense contractors.
So again, what does this information tell us? Will we have a tendency in answering this to provide a stance which defends our “right” or “left” philosophy and demonizes the opposite side as having more blame in the circumstances that the above indisputable and retrievable facts indicate? If so, how then do we explain the monies paid to politicians of both “sides”, and that both “sides” have been equal in furthering the interests of those who have paid them?
If you identify yourself as “right” or “left”, do you feel that the ideologies of the other side are the sources of all destructive societal tendencies? If so, does this seem reasonable to you if you detach yourself from emotion and look objectively? Does it seem likely that all of the world’s complex problems can be boiled down to only TWO diametrically opposed viewpoints? Is it reasonable to say that if a group of inviduals wanted to divide and control a population, that manipulating emotion and ideological differences used to provoke emotional reaction and which are strongly tied to various religous beliefs, which are usually deep-seated, would be a smart and effective way to divide people so utterly that they would later find it almost impossible to view the other side as anything but a bitter enemy that can never be reconciled with?
