Benghazi hearing set for September
Rep.
Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Tuesday laughed off the idea that the House
select committee investigating the events surrounding the 2012 Benghazi,
Libya, attack would finish its work before the midterm elections.
"No. Heavens no," said Gowdy, who is chairman of the committee, in an interview with ABC News. "I have decided that I would rather be right than first. So we are going to do it methodically, professionally."
Gowdy said the committee would hold its first public hearing in September, after members return from the August recess. It
will touch on the State Department's Accountability Review Board
recommendations, and how well they have been implemented in the wake of
the attack that killed three Americans, including Ambassador Christopher
Stevens.
Gowdy said there will be other public hearings, but the committee would do most of its work in private.
"I can get more information in a five-hour deposition than I can [in] five minutes of listening to a colleague asking questions in a committee hearing," he said.
He added: "My view of public hearings — if there is a factual discrepancy, then the jury or our fellow citizens need to hear both sides, and they can determine where the greater weight or credibility is. But if there is a consensus on a point, there really is not any reason to litigate that in public."
Democrats considered boycotting the process after the committee was created in May. They perceived it to be politically motivated to damage former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and motivate their GOP base ahead of the elections.
However, the issue has fallen largely outside public view lately, as the committee works behind closed doors.
In June, a poll found only about two in 10 people were closely watching the committee.
"You want to get on the news, go rob a bank," Gowdy said.

CDC refuses to turn over documents to Congress: Evidence linking MMR vaccines to autism intentionally withheld from investigators
News has been rapidly exploding across the “truth media” regarding the CDC whistleblower who is now making shocking revelations: The CDC’s own research found that MMR vaccines caused autism in African-American children, and the agency knowingly buried this evidence to hide it from the public.The scientific conspiracy went all the way to the top of the CDC, where Dr. Julie Gerberding – now an executive with vaccine maker Merck — took an active role in the cover-up and even arranged to have the whistleblower punished for trying to tell the truth.
CDC refuses to release evidence to Congress
Now we know that the CDC has also refused to turn over this information to Congress, too. U.S. Congressman Bill Posey (8th district, Florida) requested the documents from the CDC in a congressional hearing, but the CDC has stonewalled, refusing to turn over anything. This resulted in Congressman Posey calling for the CDC to be investigated. “The CDC can’t be trusted regarding investigating vaccine safety,” Posey said. “Huge conflict of interest. I think the CDC should be investigated.”The full interview is available on the Autism One website.
This is all described in detail in this Age of Autism story which also delves into the runaway criminality of the CDC and its quack science front men such as Dr. Poul Thorsen. Dr. Thorsen — who was indicted by the Dept. of Justice for an elaborate money laundering scheme involving the CDC — engaged in exactly the kind of lies and deceptions we see reflected in biotech propagandists like Jon Entine, where so-called “scientific experts” routinely resort to outright lies and fabrications to protect corporate interests and try to silence skeptics.
Dr. Thorsen was a key conspirator who falsified research to “prove” that vaccines didn’t cause autism. This fraudulent research continues to be cited today by vaccine pushers, most of whom are fully aware of the dangers of vaccines but seem to want as many children to be harmed or killed as possible. The CDC took an active role in shaping this fraudulent research and funneling money into the hands of Dr. Thorsen so he could continue to carry out his vaccine fraud.

An Islamic State spokesperson who gained prominence for brazenly declaring that the terrorist organization – also known as ISIS – would “raise the flag of Allah in the White House” is dead, according to recent reports.
Yeah.. Abu Mosa, the spokesperson for ISIS, he's dead. Killed in an air strike no less. He won't be raising any flags
Remember That ISIS Terrorist Who Threatened to Raise ‘Allah’s Flag’ Over the White House? He’s Dead.
Pentagon Official: ISIS Executioners Had No Idea Special Forces Chasing Them — Until Obama Told Them
(Daily Caller) – On Wednesday, the White House leaked a classified special forces operation to rescue American hostages in Syria. The reason: political cover. The cost: so far, unknown.
But this much, we know: The politicized leak of this operation cut through the fog of war to let our enemies know exactly what happened that day in the desert, and because of that, future attempts to free American hostages will be more difficult to plan, farther between, and more dangerous to carry out.
On Wednesday, Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby confirmed reports of the U.S. military’s failed clandestine hostage rescue operation in Syria. The operation was designed to rescue a number of Western hostages, including American journalist James Foley, that were being held by Islamic State terrorists in Syria. Details of the failed raid were leaked by senior White House officials earlier that day after the Obama administration came under intense scrutiny about what actions it had taken to free Foley following, who was beheaded . The leak was designed to provide political cover for President Barack Obama, who has been taking fire from the press for failing to take more decisive action against the Islamic State in either Iraq or Syria.
US Corporations Boycott Glasgow for Supporting Gaza
Hundreds of US businesspeople have scrapped plans to visit Glasgow after the Scottish city decided to fly the Palestinian flag during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
The visitors represented major US corporations such as Wal-Mart, ExxonMobil, and Coca-Cola, and were expected to visit Glasgow as a reward for investing millions into its economy.
The vice president of a leading Fortune 500 company, Richard Cassini, organized the delegation of 600 CEOs and business leaders.
However, after the Glasgow City Council’s decision to fly the Palestinian flag over its city chambers as a sign of solidarity with Gaza, Cassini wrote to Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Sadie Docherty and canceled the planned event.
“We were scheduling six days in Glasgow, three for business and three for leisure time,” Cassini wrote. “Having read your statement endorsing Hamas and its leadership due to the number of Muslims in your city, I have decided to cancel all plans for our trip. We are a Fortune 500 Company, so costs were really not a serious consideration, location was,” Cassini said.
“Hopefully, the Muslim population that you so sincerely endorse will have the spending power of the very people you have chased away so well.” Cassini added.
While Glasgow City Council has acknowledged receiving the email, it has not responded “because of the volume” of emails relating to the council’s decision to fly the Palestinian flag.
“The council has received more than 1,500 emails/calls/online forms, etc., about the flag and is responding to each” of them, a council spokeswoman said to RT.
The council sparked controversy when it decided to raise the Palestinian flag in light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, which started in July.
In a letter to the Mayor of Bethlehem, Israel, Docherty offered her “heartfelt sympathy” to the people of Gaza.
“Glasgow is home to many friends of Palestine and this is a deeply distressing time for them. They represent a variety of ethnicities, political persuasions, faiths and none. However, they are united by a common desire to support the Palestinian people,” Docherty said.
The council’s decision was met with criticism from a number of Jewish representative groups, including the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council, which referred to the act as “the worst kind of gesture politics.”
It “does nothing to alleviate the suffering on either side of the conflict,” the council added.
Cassini insisted that his decision to abandon the business leaders’ trip to Glasgow would not be reversed.

Could This Former RAPPER Be James Foley’s MURDERER?

Beheaded Journalist Ended Up Dead Because Obama ‘Dragged His Feet’
Several hours after President Obama addressed the beheading of journalist James Foley by Islamic State (IS) terrorists, it was revealed that the U.S. military had tried to rescue the journalist several months ago but the attempt failed. According to a former senior intelligence officer, it was because Obama “dragged his feet.”
Lt. Col. Tony Schaffer was trained by the CIA and wrote the book Operation Dark Heart, which details the successes of Special Forces in the early stages of the Afghanistan war. Shaffer appeared on WMAL radio out of Washington, D.C. to discuss the execution of Foley earlier in the week and told co-host Brian Wilson that the attempt by the Special Forces to rescue Foley failed because Obama was slow to pull the trigger, the Free Beacon reported.
Shaffer said that he’s been talking to his friends at the Pentagon and they had been giving Obama every option he had ahead of time, but it still wasn’t enough.
“The U.S. government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence, and when the opportunity presented itself, the president authorized the Department of Defense to move aggressively to recover our citizens,” Lisa Monaco, the President’s chief anti-terrorism adviser, said in regards to the attempt.
What she said after, seems to corroborate what Shaffer said in his radio interview.
“Unfortunately, that mission was ultimately not successful because the hostages were not present.” She went on to say that they missed the hostages by “a matter of hours, perhaps a day or two.”
Knowing this administration and Obama’s reluctance to take any politically risky actions, Shaffer is more than likely dead on with his assessment. After all, Obama was probably too busy on the golf course to sit down with his advisers and actually make the choice to act in a timely manner.
IS militants currently have one other American hostage named Steven Sotloff, whom they threatened to behead on video should America fail to stop conducting airstrikes on the group.

Former CIA Officer Says ISIS and Mexican Drug Cartels Communicate
U.S. Gov. and CIA connected to drugs and terror
A former CIA officer, now a security consultant who regularly appears on Fox News, told the Laura Ingraham Show Thursday ISIS and Mexican drug cartels communicate with each other.
“We’ve had good intel over the years about al-Qaeda, about their efforts to coordinate with, as an example, Mexican cartels… in an effort to try to exploit our southern border,” Mike Baker told Ingraham.
The one-time CIA employee said there is “a lot of communication” between ISIS and drug cartels and “the cartels are a business… if there’s a revenue stream they can exploit, then they will, and the extremists understand that.”
It is not clear if this intel was passed on to Baker by his former colleagues.
In 2012 a spokesman for the Chihuahua state in Mexico, Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva told Aljazerra the CIA and other intelligence agencies manage the drug trade in Mexico.
“Credibility issues with employees of the notoriously corrupt Mexican government aside, the latest accusations were hardly earth shattering — the American espionage agency has been implicated in drug trafficking from Afghanistan to Vietnam to Latin America and everywhere in between. Similar allegations of drug running have been made against the CIA for decades by former agents, American officials, lawmakers, investigators, and even drug traffickers themselves,” writes Alex Newman.
Other agencies of the United States government stand accused of complicity with Mexican drug cartels, including the DEA and the Justice Department.
Also left unsaid is the documented fact the CIA and the United States government trained, armed, funded and supported Osama bin Laden and his followers in Afghanistan. This fact was reported by the BBC, Forbes, ABC News and others (many corporate media sites, however, scrubbed this information soon after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001).
Asked about the geopolitical impact of the CIA’s 3 billion dollar operation to create an Islamic mujahideen in Afghanistan beginning in 1979, Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser said: “What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?”
ISIS, now a self-declared caliphate called the Islamic State, also has connections to the CIA and the Pentagon.
William Engdahl, an award-winning geopolitical analyst and strategic risk consultant, recently wrote that ISIS “is being shaped and controlled out of Langley, Virginia, and other CIA and Pentagon outposts as the next stage in spreading chaos in the world’s second-largest oil state, Iraq, as well as weakening the recent Syrian stabilization efforts.”
The corporate media now pushing a full-fledged war on ISIS in response to an unverified and suspicious beheading video fails to mention our troops will go up against fighters trained by U.S. instructors in Jordan.

“And let me give you a little secret here: The reason that raid into Syria failed to get Foley and those guys was because the president drug his feet. He waited too long, the intel got stale, and by the time we actually gave the “go” word it failed because we just didn’t react quick enough.”However, the narrative coming from the White House is much different and claims that Obama was quick and concise in his decision to rescue the endangered Americans.
“The U.S. government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence, and when the opportunity presented itself, the president authorized the Department of Defense to move aggressively to recover our citizens,” Lisa Monaco, the President’s chief anti-terrorism adviser, said in regards to the attempt.
