A newly released book by Edward Klein (Blood Feud) is alleging that on the evening of September 11, 2012, President Obama called Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and over her protests, told her to put out a message blaming the anti Muslim video for the attack on Benghazi.
www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/06/23/book-Obama-instructed-Clinton-to-use-video-explanation-after-Benghazi-attack
This is, of course, a most serious revelation which, if true, would destroy whatever is left of Obama's credibility, and would also be devastating to Clinton's presidential hopes.
But it remains to be proven.
This, of course, is based on an anonymous source. It is interesting that this source, supposedly a member of Clinton's team has put out a story that shifts most of the blame to Obama while an earlier book by Kenneth Timmerman puts the blame on both as having concocted the video story. Could this be an indication that the wheels are coming off the story? It would be nice if Clinton could be asked this question under oath, but I doubt that it will happen. Probably something to do with presidential privilege with his cabinet will get in the way.

Kerry in Egypt Defending Muslim Brotherhood
Hat tip Investigative Project on Terrorism
Has someone explained to John Kerry that his latest trip to the Middle East was supposed to be to "solve" the crisis in Iraq? Instead he shows up in Cairo where he plays defense attorney for the Muslim Brotherhood.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/06/22/kerry-seeks-to-nudge-egypt-new-president-toward-reforms-on-cairo-visit/?intcmp=latestnews
"We do not share the view of the Egyptian government about links between the Muslim Brothers and terrorist groups like ISIS [the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq]," an aide to Kerry said. "[Egyptian leaders] need to include, and find ways to reach out to, the Muslim Brothers. ... With regard to the challenge that the Muslim Brothers pose, I would characterize it more as a political challenge than a security challenge."
As Gil Hodges used to say when arguing with umpires, "Horsefeathers". Someone should show Kerry that explanatory memorandum the FBI seized and introduced into evidence at the Holy Land Foundation trial in 2007. Mind you, that document does not date back to the days of Hasan al Banna or Sayyid Qutb in the 1920s or so, but 1991. It is a letter addressed to the "North American Brothers" and outlined the MB's design for destroying the West. If Kerry needs any further evidence, all he needs to do is examine the MB track record when they were ruling Egyopt under Mohammed Morsi. All he needs to do is talk to the Coptic Christians who continue to suffer at the hands of Morsi's followers even after he was overthrown.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the umbrella organization that spawned Hamas and al Qaeda not to mention US-based organizations that are masquerading as mainstream moderates. Aymin al Zawahiri, an Egyptian, the number one leader of Al Qaeda since bin Laden's death, came out of the Brotherhood. Yusuf al Qaradawi, also an Egyptian, with all his proclamations of hate against Jews and infidels, is the spiritual mentor of the Brotherhood.
But John Kerry, just like Jim Clapper, John Brennan and Barack Obama, have all decided that the Brotherhood is harmless, non-violent, and secular.

The Stupidity of the Presbyterian Church USA
In case you have not heard, the Presbyterian Church USA, which has already "distinguished" itself by engaging in all sorts of anti-Israel efforts, has passed a measure divesting itself from certain corporations that do business with Israel, such as Caterpillar and Motorola.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/06/21/Presbyterians-to-divest-as-protest-against-Israel
So let's put this in perspective. At a time when the Christian minorities in most of Israeli's Arab neighbor-countries are fleeing for their lives, the Presbyterian Church USA singles out Israel, the only country in the Middle East where Christians can live in peace and freedom to worship.
You talk about dumb. You talk about anti-Semitism.

Belgium: Jewish Kindergarten Bus Pelted With Rocks in Antwerp
Hat tip Europe News (DK) and JPUP
Since the killing of four people at the Brussels Jewish Museum, security is heavy at Jewish sites. Antwerp is no exception. Yet a school bus carrying Jewish kindergarten pupils was surrounded and pelted with rocks by Muslim teenagers in Antwerp on June 15.
http://jpupdates.com/2014/06/17/antwerp-belgium-bus-carrying-kindergarten-children-stoned-muslim-youths/
“Antwerp – a centuries old, orthodox Jewish centre at the heart of the global diamond industry – is now colloquially known as ‘Gaza,’” Samuels wrote. “Talk there is rampant in the Pelikaanstraat gem-stores of an exodus from Belgium.”
Where do you think those teenagers learned their hatred of Jews from? From their parents, of course.

CNN's Staged Applause at Hillary Town Hall

How could it be anything else when you have Christiane Amanpour as the interviewer for Hillary Clinton? According to this Washington Post article by Erik Wemple, the live studio audience was coached as to when to applaud for La Grande Dame.

When Did Lerner's Computer Crash? Ten Days After Rep. Camp Asked About Targeting
Hat tip Gateway Pundit
The big talking point of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen and his Democratic apologists is that Lois Lerner's computer crashed three years ago in 2011 resulting in the loss of all those critical e-mails before he became commissioner and before all this fuss started.
Well, not exactly.
It turns out that the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Dave Camp, had sent a letter to IRS in 2011 asking if conservative groups had been targeted, ten days before the computer crashed. Six other IRS officials suspected of involvement also mysteriously had their computers crash during the same period.
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/06/breaking-lois-lerners-computer-mysteriously-crashed-10-days-after-gop-house-leaders-asked-about-targeting/
Just another coincidence, I am sure.
The point is that the loss of e-mails is part of the time line of events. Moreover, Koskinen knew about it back in March when he testified and assured the committee that all of Lois Lerner's e-mails would be forthcoming. Yet he and the IRS waited until last Friday to mention the problem on page 15 of a 27-page letter.
Yet, yesterday virtually every Democratic member of the Ways and Means Committee apologized to the arrogant Koskinen, dismissed the whole thing as a witch hunt and neglected to ask any probing questions, preferring to cede part of their allotted time for the commissioner to make his talking points. And today on MSNBC, liberal talking head Jonathan Alter repeated the Democratic line that this is just one big hootenanny.
The thing that is most outrageous about all this is that Lerner, Koskinen, the previous commissioners of IRS will all get away with it because you have a White House, a Senate, A Justice Department, Treasury Department all controlled by Democrats. Some of the Democrats in Congress, like Dick Durbin, Carl Levin, and Elijah Cummings have their own hands dirty in this mess because they pressured the IRS to go after conservative groups in the first place. They actually wanted the IRS to investigate and prosecute these groups. What the IRS was able to do was keep the requests for tax-exempt status in limbo.
And then you have most of the main stream media, which might as well be a state-run media since they refuse to investigate and root out the corruption of the Obama administration as they did the Nixon administration.
This is no way to sustain a democracy.

The Christians of Mosul
Hat tip CBN News and Revoltes en Europe
The below video from CBN News was cross-posted from the French blog, Revoltes en Europe. It is a CBN video report on the situation for Christians in and around Mosul, Iraq. Upon the takeover by ISIS, Christians have been left with stark choices. If they open their churches, they will be burned. They are forced to pay the jizya tax required of non-Muslims under sharia law. If they refuse to pay, they will be decapitated.

Paris Jews Attacked While Marching in Support of Abducted Israeli Teens
Hat tip Atlas Shrugs
The below video is running today in Atlas Shrugs. It shows French Jews holding a peaceful march through Paris in support of the 3 Israeli teenagers who were abducted in the West Bank when they are attacked by young men identified by AS as Muslims. French police, who were escorting the march intervened.
Is there any doubt here who the bad guys are? Why is it that the anti-Israel side is always resorting to violence and thuggery?

DHS's "Escort Services" Ad
"Welcome to the US."
When I posted the below article two days ago, I did so with some trepidation. Even though I backtracked it to the DHS website, I still had the feeling that this had to be some kind of prank or put-up job..
http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2014/06/dhs-has-jobs.html
Alas, it was righteous, all right. Seems the DHS actually took it down, re-worded it then put it back up. We don't some Honduran kid thinking he had hookers waiting for him on the other side of the Rio Grande, do we?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/06/20/ice-issues-rules-for-contractors-dealing-with-illegal-immigrants/?intcmp=latestnews
"They promised me a hooker."
Actually, I suspect the real reason DHS changed it was because it had gone viral. No matter how you break it down, your tax dollars are now supporting the transportation of illegal aliens around the country.
