Caption: The Bitch of Benghazi: “What difference does it make?”
Bloodstains and partial handprints in blood were found on the walls and columns inside the gutted U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, following the September 11–12, 2012 terrorist attack.
September 11, 2012
Members of the Islamic terror group Ansar al-Sharia carried out a coordinated attack against two United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012. At 9:40 p.m. local time, members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, resulting in the deaths of both United States Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith
At around 4:00 a.m. on September 12, the group launched a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one mile (1.6 km) away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty and wounding ten others.
September 11, 2001
On September 11, 2001, Mohammedan Terrorists associated with the terror group al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes to carry out targeted suicide attacks against major U.S. landmarks, resulting in the deaths of 2,977 victims.
- 2,753 people died at the World Trade Center site, including 343 firefighters and 71 law enforcement officers who died trying to evacuate the buildings.
- 184 people died at the Pentagon.
- 40 passengers and crew died in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
It is important that the memories of Islamic attacks remain in focus.
There is a concerted effort to turn today into “a day of service,” in which we honor community organizers like Barack Hussein Obama. Please resist the urge to join in with that sort of memorial – they can do service any other day of the year. Today is a day to recall Muslim atrocities and to ponder that we have not seen the end of this problem. We can’t undo what has happened, but we can learn from history and strengthen our resolve.
There is an age-appropriate caveat, but you can still watch it.
In Arizona
More particularly outside a homosexual watering hole called Venture-N, in Tucson on August 31, Cameron Capara, 33, the founder of “Gays for Gaza,” was gunned down along with his lover, Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, 42, assassination-style, by Ousman Ceesay, a Muslim immigrant from Gambia. The Mohammedan, Ceesay then said, “God is Great” and suicided, saving Pima County a trial.
If you follow the link above, the crime is being spun as a “hate crime” against gays, proving that everyone wants to shoot gays, instead of being a terrorist attack by Muslims, who, as a religious doctrine, are instructed to kill all gays. Gays for Gaza is much like Cattle for Meat Packers in its name and in its practical intent.
I was surprised that less than a decade after the US was attacked on September 11, the country would elect a homosexual, mulatto with deep Muslim roots named Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency. Should it surprise us that he ordered that US aircraft loaded with currency take those funds to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which they used to attack their neighbors and the USA? Irony runs deep.
Bullet Points:
** At the boat ramp, with EdB.
** London’s mayor made a deal where St. Paul’s Cathedral (the “Vatican” of the Church of England) is going to be renting itself out for the night periodically to an outfit called “Fabric” that holds raves and nightclubs at various venues, so that Fabric can hold raves in the Cathedral. It’s worth noting that Fabric had its license pulled in 2016 after two teens overdosed at one of their parties. Does the Church of England have no shame?
** People are screaming over Pres. Trump signing an executive order directing federal agencies to figure out how to restore “country of origin” labels on beef… after screaming because Pres. Trump agreed to allow 300,000 tons of beef to be imported to help lower beef prices. I realize the general public is irrational, especially when President Trump is involved. Irony runs deep.
** In Germany – The drama over the AfD’s election continues. Will the votes be nullified in the German Parliament because they don’t like what the AfD has to say?
**A group of retired JAG officers (lawyers) who are infected by TDS is calling on Congress to give military officers an avenue to challenge orders by the President (as long as it’s President Trump and only President Trump).
** The propaganda machine (see below) is hard at work trying to convince the gullible US public that we are losing the conflict with Iran. Flush out your headgear, new guy. Take a hard look at the progress of the war and explain how you think that the US is losing by any metric.
** CDRSAL discusses military funding and Social Security. The public’s will did not drive USGOV to move the Social Security Trust Fund into the government’s general fund. Greedy politicians did that to help fund the Vietnam War. But now we’re stuck with it, and the Federal Government explains that, along with the basic pension and thrift program, it forms the three legs of the triad that is the pension system they offer retirees. I’m actually OK with Social Security being completely revoked. Yes, I receive it, but I don’t live on it. That is not the case for most Americans of an age to receive it. Some of it is diverted before I see it to plow into the Medicare system that I’m forced to pay into. The government creates these social monsters, collects the funds, and then balks when people apply to the “Full Faith and Credit of the USA” for payments that are somehow blaggarded as ‘entitlements’. Ok, end of rant. CDRSAL’s articles are always worth reading.
** YouTube – (h/t Claudio) MI6 has launched “Silent Courier,” a dark-web portal designed to recruit disaffected Russian officials, logistics clerks, and intelligence insiders. As Moscow’s biometric surveillance and diplomatic expulsions render physical espionage nearly impossible, Western intelligence is turning to secure digital walk-ins to pierce Kremlin secrecy. Discover how Sir Richard Moore’s final initiative and new MI6 Chief Blaise Metreweli are reshaping modern espionage across Russia, China, and Iran.
** Saudi Arabia may give the UN nuclear watchdog greater inspection powers as part of its attempts to get a nuclear deal with the US approved and head off criticism that the agreement does not sufficiently limit proliferation risks. The Saudi-US nuclear deal is expected to allow the kingdom to enrich uranium to nearly 20%, according to documents sent to US lawmakers, The Wall Street Journal reported, raising concerns that nuclear material could be diverted for military uses. Saudi officials are negotiating a bilateral deal with the International Atomic Energy Agency that would include additional monitoring and verification obligations. The Saudi-US deal would favor American firms over Chinese and Russian competitors, but is less restrictive in other areas. Saudi Arabia has not signed up to the “Additional Protocol” that grants IAEA inspectors sweeping access.
** Some (lemmings) are saying that “I” should trust the economy with the Democrats who gave us supply chain nightmares and 20 million illegal aliens. Let me think about it—no.
In Red China
The Mandarins in the Worker’s Paradise are spending their budgets propagandizing the American public against creating data centers. You have to ask yourself why they would do that unless you are so immune to propaganda that you wish to swallow it whole without asking why.
It’s not as if the Chinese came up with something new. They win by stealing and copying. The Great Powers of the late 19th and 20th Centuries manipulated countries they wanted to control in the same way. You cause people to fight amongst themselves, fragment, threaten revolution, and they will distract the governments involved, as well as those that border the place, and that way the governments mentioned will be too busy to mess with your goals of world domination. It’s one of those Lucy and the football things that happens over and over.
Great Britain was the recognized master of this game. One of the many groups they pumped money into was a group of anarchists in the Balkans called “Young Bosnia” that wanted to free Bosnia from Austrian rule and “unite the South Slavs.” A group of those Young Bosnians hatched a plan to force the Austro-Hungarian Empire to free Bosnia by killing the heir to the throne. That assassination, in the end, cost the UK about 956,000 subjects between military deaths and civilians, over the course of the war that the assassination started. And World War I spread its seeds that ended up creating a Second World War.
World War I enabled the creation of the Soviet Union, which enabled the rise of Chinese Communism and global Bolshevism. The cancer spreads through unintended consequences driven by hubris.
Red China has been at war with the US primarily since World War II. The fact that the US just laughed it off shows how little we know about other means of war. It’s not as if the US didn’t play the very same game in 50 locations at the same time that the Chinese are trying to roger us. Irony runs deep.
Aircraft details by Flight on September 11.
Which aircraft are preferred by terrorists? They seem to avoid Airbus. Is there a reason for this? No, I’m not looking for a conspiracy in aircraft brands or airlines. It’s interesting that they didn’t hijack any El Al flights – oh, because they had armed personnel onboard, and the rag heads would have been bringing a box cutter to a gunfight.

And “if you get caught, you ain’t SF.”
Or so I’m told.
X2
Terrorist Planes –
I imagine they went with Boeing as there would be more schools in the US for that type. Plus there were a lot in operation so you could find the flights you needed to hijack.
This is an educated guess. I was well out of military/government by then.
I don’t know either, RCC. I think you’re correct. In 2001, if you wanted to learn to fly a commercial aircraft in the USA, you’d go with Boeing.
…and were ‘known and being watched’ by the EffBeeEye while at a Florida flight training school instead of picked up and seriously flogged for information.
X2 – one would not wish to be tagged as “Islamophobic”
They got training in Tulsa, OK. And yes, Boeing was the only alternative.
Today is my birthday. 25 years ago when some people did some things, I joined our local volunteer fire department at the age of 43 because I thought I could in some small way try to make a difference. Have I ? I hope so. I celebrated early yesterday by pumping 4,000 gallons of water on a semi trailer load of bananas whose brakes had caught fire and burned the trailer into two harder to transport pieces. I will work a 12 hour shift today to honor my father who always worked on his birthday milking cows. Thank you for allowing me to self congratulate myself. Sometimes I’m needy like that!
Thank you for that, FHubert – for your patriotism and for your continued service to mankind. I don’t criticize those who never had skin in the game, but I do understand what it’s like to be part of that thin line.
Happy Birthday!
Congratulations on your birthday. But more importantly [1], congratulations on joining, and continuing to serve in, your VFD.
—
[1] The birthday is one of the few things in life that literally “just happened” to us that we have absolutely no responsibility for. But being a fire fighter is an act of will and on-going sacrifice. Our nation, any worthwhile nation, is built on individuals making and adhering to such choices. So Thank You. (And sadly, when only a small minority are left to do the actual work, and to voluntarily take up the burdens — which is where we appear to be headed — then the nation is no more.)
👍
Retired JAGs – so, treason. Lot of that going around these days.
– Kle.
Treachery, treason, and yearning for all that Kamala-the-Ho, Barack Hussein, and poor old senile old Slow Joe brought to America. I mean, who doesn’t appreciate the Bush Legacy (Pres. Trump made Bush III cry and run to his mom, literally), and who can’t say thank you to Hillary for the Clinton Global Initiative?
.
Who doesn’t appreciate the Uranium One Sale to Russia in 2010? Approved during the Obama regime. It allowed Russian state-owned Rosatom to acquire a majority stake in Canadian-owned Uranium One, involving about 20% of licensed U.S. uranium mining capacity. There is so much to remember today.
I spoke to a friend who discussed the virtues of Jesus Christ, calling out the Pharisees and the corruption inside the Sanhedrin roughly 2000 years ago, and I said, “The State executed him.”
But He was raised from the dead and is our Savior.
And He actually volunteered.
The State will execute you if you volunteer…if they don’t like what you have to say. There is also death by other means (thinking of the mountain of suicides that surrounds the Bitch of Benghazi).
and few know that hillary pushed bill to go ahead w/the mogadishu raid even though they knew it was a trap.
9/11 IMHO The Donald should ask Congress to turn the day into a federal holiday today; should they not, he should execute a Presidential Order
sort of a Holy Day everyone goes to whatever church or synagogue (yes! I’m deliberately omitting mosques) pleases you (or at least takes a moment) to pray for those souls
and I’m not a terribly religious man
💯
++1000
No more federal Holidays until they take back Juneteenth and MLK day.
We don’t have a federal holiday on Dec 7th.
They just become another beach day or white sale.
Juneteenth needs to go as does MLK Day – Turn them back into Lincoln’s and Washington’s Birthdays and leave it at that if you’re in need of two days off. Easter/Passover could replace those two days and it would make more sense.
I love it! Recognition without losing a days mail delivery!
“No more federal Holidays until they take back Juneteenth and MLK day.”
Ed,
I agree with you, but it sorta feels ;ile I’m cutting of my nose to spite my face..
Y’know, like the Bible – the full story must/should be told and retold: how they managed to obtain training in the US, how lax the background checks were (still are IMO despite a m/billion $ bureaucracy that “guards” us when flying, the suicidal religion that still drives this mentality, the overwhelming/overweening(?) hate for all other religions.
And it should be told starting in Kindergarten.
Juneteenth? Say it right, you bigot. Hit beez Juneteenf. (Or Juneteemph if you want to make it look vaguely Trumpian.)
Correct pronunciation is a white supremacist dog-whistle. Have you been failing to attend your regular HR indoc sessions that you don’t know this?
Shame!
As to MLK Day, I’m all for keeping it. But I want it renamed “Adulterous Plagiarist Day”.
Ya got me!
Please reply in Ebonics if you want to keep your credibility on the blog. There are Ebonics generators online if you don’t habla.

It’s sort of like the Canadians requiring both English and French labels on everything sold in Canada.
Small typo to correct, should be 2011 not 2012 in above story.

Many thoughtful comments in today’s blog. Well done.

Did we really vote for the light bringer? I seem to recall he was chosen by the party and anyone else was pushed out of the way. Then the other party and the media just rolled over and agreed he should be the winner and didn’t even bring up any of the concerns that would have nixed him as a candidate.

The artwork on the Chinese politics is always amusing but well done. Holding the Mao little red book out in front like a weapon or shield is interesting propaganda.
Ahhh.. skip my first comment, 2012 was Benghazi attack as correctly noted. Haven’t had my coffee.
As for Barry, watched the night he ‘achieved’ his placement into the Senate, never heard of the guy….The Mrs. was off slightly behind him excited for the win while he had this deer in the headlights look as in, ‘What just happened?’. Now we know why, he ould talk a good game nut basically had no game. Same with Sandy Cortez, Manchurian plants.
It’s also politically incorrect to term Barack as the son and grandson of communists, as a drug dealer (Larry Sinclair), and homosexual, and to discuss his husband.
That PRC politics picture is not artwork, but documentary. I saw it in person back then.
And yes, both 9/11 and Benghazi are burned into my mind. I was travelling all over the ME for work in those days. It was, and is, personal.
Remembrance: Charlie Kirk yesterday, ‘this’ today, Benghazi in 2012. National Day of Remembrance is an excellent idea (h/t Boron). And yet, what has 25 years wrought? Schools/Teachers Union subversives not teaching it so anyone 28 or younger has no clue what happened, which is on purpose to allow their propaganda to take root, creating more ignorant subversives.
Any idea why that “The Man Comes Around” video is age restricted? I didn’t see anything in it that was different from many other videos I’ve seen that weren’t age restricted.
Truthful 9/11 content that does not align with the propagandanistas.
Agreed, but I think it goes beyond that. I’m seeing more and more YouTube videos that I used to be able to watch become age restricted, including stuff like the “Jesse Stone” series staring Tom Selleck. I don’t have an account because I refuse to have anything to do with Google.
Dockside: Again, when boating stay away from the General Public!…it’s like a box of chocolates, never know what you’re going to get.
***
St. Paul’s Cathedral (the “Vatican” of the Church of England): Apparently not…this goes beyond no shame, more like ‘follow the money despite metaphorically spitting on The Lord’s house’. Society has gotten so far off track, has no respect for anything…well, except for their own feelings and urges . LSP will have a comment…or ten.
***
Cattle: This explains a lot, and a young rancher gal who knows of what she speaks. Ranchers are not rubes, and this proves ranching is a business that the Left and Democrats are trying to put out of business. And a pox on Tyson’s collective house…same goes for the other greedy processors: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcUag1PSIIF/
I remember being at the launch while they were dragging a car out of the water.
Turns out they put it in the water first, for a diving exercise for the cops.
>more like ‘follow the money despite metaphorically spitting on The Lord’s house’.
It’s the other way around. The money is not at all the point. The desecration of a Christian holy site [1] is the WHOLE point. Burning St Paul’s down would not be enough. It must be desanctified through obscenity and perversion. Because humiliation is the point, both from the perspective of psychologically damaging individuals of faith, but likely also from a ritualistic perspective, by which I mean something Luciferian or in that vein. The people who think they run (and now pretty much DO run) the Western world, call it the Epstein class if you will, are a weird mix of ancient resentments, sneering contempt for true faith(s), and a perverse attraction to the supposed “occult”. So degeneracy, drugs, and sexual perversion in a famous cathedral tick all three boxes.
—
[1] I have never been to St Paul’s and don’t know if it IS a holy site. But we can be certain that it is a site of great symbolic religio-political importance. Earlier this week I walked by St Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan. Didn’t have time to go in on this trip, but it’s a nice building, architecturally, and they keep it nice and clean and orderly inside. Among the tourists, there appear to be people sincerely worshipping, and that’s all well and good. But it did not strike me as holy. Nothing wrong with it, but just a big fancy building. On the other hand, I have had the fortune to be in places that just felt holy. As well as places that were the opposite, some of which I would not voluntarily return to, except at great need.
Excellent expounding on the subject…respect for these places is giving deference to the past when they were designed and built, not today’s rampant apathy for what is traditional and important…and that being said from a spiritual sense not man’s.
I’ve attended Mass in St Patrick’s on occasion, as my Parish was in Brooklyn. The Cathedral is the Manhattan Archdiocese’s prime site, where they showcase their most talented preachers and musicians. It’s always packed, mostly with tourists. It is also a major location when a foreign Catholic politician wants to link up with his local American community. As a regular parishioner invited to a “political” Mass at St Patrick’s, I was granted access to a better seat than my then boss, who was stuck in an official bench further back.
I’ve been looking at it very carefully (with both wry eyes and spectacles) but I don’t see all that much difference between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 save our response.
Someone please help me understand the differences and why our response to each is so different.
I’ll taken off-the-cuff stab: Military Industrial Complex coupled to brainwashing and multiculturalism/diversity. in 1941 Americans knew what they stood for and were unafraid to say so or jump into the fray, nowadays half (maybe more) stand for nothing ‘but are open to everything’ as long as it makes them feel good.
Well, we did go to the sandbox for 20 years….
The 911 attackers were all from Saudi Arabia (Wahhabists) and we went to Afghanistan. Then we went to Iraq but there were no Baathists or Iraqis involved in that attack. I’m not saying that we went to the wrong place, but I can read a map.
from jfk to iraq, its always rumsfeld and chaney. evil incarnate.
As a resident of Tucson I noted that the shooting at the gay bar story disappeared completely from local media within 24 hrs. I knew then that the identity of the shooter would go against The Message. And so it is. Incredible.
God have mercy on all the lost and their families on this sad remembrance day. God bless Erika Kirk and her children. God have mercy on our country.
Amen.
Raging Ragina Romero nearly blew a gasket demanding more gun control…
Yes, when we need to control illegal immigration, and more particularly illegal Muslim immigration.
LL, in your Red China picture, what is the gal in the white shirt holding? My monitor doesn’t display in high definition.
It looks like something AI made up. Maybe it’s combo scythe and light-saber handle?
No, wait, Arnold knows!

Looks like a microphone…or…what MikeC suggests.
Last post I realized later after some re-look that the opening picture looks like a young Scarlett Johansson…can’t unsee that now.
Not sure that’s a gal.
Who knows what a woman is?
.
The person who may or may not identify as a woman would seem to have a microphone in hand but maybe not.
It’s a silenced .22 caliber pistol with a _very_ extended magazine.

Maybe Trump is right. My belief is the same as it was for the Vietnam debacle. Go all in, or get out.

Kill all muslims let God sortem’ out.
Entered a comment; had to delete it, too pissed about things to post it. Y’all probably think the same things anyway.
Probably. That’s why we’re here.
Probably. That or to discuss failed boat launches.
You talk about not using a bull-pup. Why do you feel that way? I have a Tavor and like its pointability for use around buildings.
Some people love them. I have used an AUG before and liked it well enough. Today, I could have whatever I want and don’t own any. The best one I ever used was the High Standard 12 ga Street Sweeper. It’s excellent for use in a car (shooting out of/from the car).
Can you get a rifled barrel for one?
They’ve been out of production for a long time. You can load with rifled slugs.
The “Rave in the Nave” is despicable blasphemy. Then there’s NYC’s Moslem Mayor. Huh.
Both are abominations.
Aye.
