Finally revealed: What ambassador in Benghazi was really doing

Finally revealed: What ambassador in Benghazi was really doing Operating under orders of Obama, Hillary Clinton on secret mission

The U.S. special mission in Benghazi and the nearby CIA annex were utilized in part to coordinate arms shipments to the jihadist rebels fighting the Syrian regime, with Ambassador Christopher Stevens playing a central role, documents an explosive new book released this week. The activities, which included a separate, unprecedented multi-million-dollar weapons collection effort from Libyan militias who did not want to give up their weapons, may have prompted the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, charges the new book. The findings and more are revealed in the new work by radio host and WND reporter Aaron Klein, "The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary Don't Want You to Know." Klein asserts the arms-to-rebels scheme that ran through Benghazi "might amount to the Fast and Furious of the Middle East, the Iran-Contra of the Obama administration." A key issue is that until the end of April 2013, the White House had repeatedly denied it was involved in helping to arm the Syrian rebels. However, "The REAL Benghazi Story" cites evidence of arms transfers throughout the summer of 2012, escalating with a major shipment from Libya to Turkey just days prior to the Sept. 11 attack. It's finally here: "The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary Don't Want You to Know." Get it now at the WND Superstore! The book finds members of the 17th of February Martyrs Brigade, a militia linked to the Ansar al-Sharia terrorist organization, may have been used as cut outs to aid in the weapons transfers to Syrian rebels. Perplexingly, armed members of the Martyrs Brigade were hired by the State Department to provide internal "security" at the U.S. special mission. See the trailer: Stevens an 'arms dealer'? According to information cited by Klein, Stevens served less as a diplomat and more as an arms dealer and intelligence coordinator for assistance to the so-called Arab Spring, with particular emphasis on the Syrian rebels. As was widely reported, Stevens originally arrived in Libya during the revolution aboard a Greek cargo ship carrying equipment and vehicles. His original task in Libya was to serve as the main interlocutor between the Obama administration and the rebels based in Benghazi. Stevens never abandoned that role, even after becoming ambassador, according to Klein. Indeed, the New York Times reported in December 2012 that Stevens himself facilitated an application to the State Department for the sale of weapons filed by one Marc Turi, whom the Times' describes as an "American arms merchant who had sought to provide weapons to Libya." The Times reported Turi's first application was rejected in March 2011 but was approved two months later after he stated "only that he planned to ship arms worth more than $200 million to Qatar." Qatar was Turkey's partner in aiding the Syrian rebels. Klein notes the Times did not question why a U.S. ambassador would help facilitate government applications for arms dealers. Nor did the Times bother to investigate the possible connection of those activities to the Benghazi attack. Continued Klein: "After all, it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to divine a possible link to the Benghazi assaults amid reports of Stevens supporting a weapons dealer's application while American intelligence officers hiding in 'secret locations' were helping Arab governments shop for weapons to be sent to Mideast rebels, including some of the same groups linked to the September 11, 2012 attacks." Klein points out Stevens held his final meeting with a diplomat from Turkey, which was one of the main backers of the Syrian rebels.

It can happen – and it already has. But it won't happen unless every concerned American who craves the freedom begat to us by the Founders reads the blueprint for battle. How do we know the blueprint works? Because it already has. The above scenario faced a handful of GOP congressman 16 years ago. The president wasn't Barack Obama; it was Bill Clinton. Despite a fawning liberal media, a 75 percent approval rating, a united Democrat Party covering for his multiple crimes, and a cowardly and fractured GOP congressional leadership at the helm, former Congressman Jim Rogan and a small handful of his colleagues demanded constitutional accountability and refused to back down; in the end, they pulled off the most stunning political coup in American history – and in so doing, they forever tattooed Clinton with the constitutional stain of impeachment and neutered his further assault on the rule of law. In his acclaimed book, "Catching Our Flag: Behind the Scenes of a Presidential Impeachment," Rogan, the former impeachment manager in the House of Representatives, lays out the template to lead the reader, step by step, of how to get a very reluctant Congress to impeach a very popular president. If it worked against Bill Clinton, who enjoyed a 75 percent approval rating, it will work against Barack Obama and his continually pathetic poll numbers. Rogan's newest book 'And Then I Met...': Stories of Growing Up, Meeting Famous People and Annoying the Hell Out of Them, releases nationwide today! Click here to read more. Watch the trailer for "And Then I Met..." here: Rogan walks the reader through the key steps of impeachment victory, among which are: •  How to articulate the case for presidential impeachment so the average voter can understand it; •  How to mobilize available forces to battle the despot in whose hands are all the throttles of government; •  How to cobble together an impeachment majority, including pulling in GOP congressmen who had already announced they’d never vote for impeachment -- and bring on board several Democrats in Congress to stand against their president; •  How to show America that the presidential elections, like presidential impeachments, are all part of the same Constitution, and that one is entitled to no greater deference than the other; •  Most
