Never Forget: On Ten Year Anniversary of Benghazi Attack September 11, 2012, Former US Military Member Recounts How USAF Planes At Aviano Air Base Were Ordered To Stand Down

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | September 10, 2022

On September 11th and 12th, 2012 — ten years ago — during the battle of Benghazi terror attack against the US State Department’s diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, Obama Administration officials ordered a stand down of fully-ready US Air Force aircraft on the flight line at Aviano Air Base in Northern Italy — and then lied about it to the American people.

CIA security contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty (both former US Navy SEALs) were killed while heroically defending the Benghazi compound from terror militias under the command of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Iranian-led terrorists also killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith.

President Donald Trump ordered the assasination of General Soleimani, who was killed on January 3, 2020 in a U.S. drone strike near the Baghdad International Airport in Iraq.

In an exclusive audio statement provided to The American Report, a former U.S. service member [name withheld] who was stationed at Aviano Air Base at the time of the Benghazi Terror attack told The American Report that U.S. military aircraft and crews at Aviano Air Base were already on alert and ready to go as part of a “real world exercise” when the Benghazi attack unfolded, but were ultimately told to stand down.

Aviano Air Base hosts US Air Force F-16 fighter jets.

The American Report provided the audio statement to The Intelligence Briefing With John B. Wells On Ark Midnight Live for the Saturday, September 10, 2022 episode titled “Using Terrorism to Force the Great Reset,” which was broadcast live via the Salem Radio Network over terrestrial radio stations across the United States and over multiple streaming services.

“When we first heard of the embassy getting attacked in Benghazi, we were on alert. We got the aircraft ready to go, and we were on standby for 24 hour coverage until two days after the incident, then we were told to stand down,” the former U.S. military member told The American Report.

The former service member elaborated:

What I didn’t find out until later — I wasn’t sure who had given the order — either the USAFE [US AIr Forces In Europe] Commander or the European Combatant Commander — but all of USAFE pretty much, a week prior, was told to undergo a real world exercise.

So we generated our aircraft, they were fully loaded with live bombs and munitions.

And when we got the call that we were on alert to go to Benghazi, we were already ready.

Some people might call that coincidence, and others, like myself, I think somebody knew something.

So, we were already ready by the time the incident started happening.

However, we never got the call to go in. We were told to stand down, and absolutely no backup or anything from anywhere in Europe or US CENTCOM came or did anything about it.

As we previously reported in the June 15, 2019 article at The American Report, titled “Former US Military Personnel Expose Truth Of Benghazi: Iran’s Quds Force And Suleimani Led Attacks Against Americans, US Military Ordered To Stand Down,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey and U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lied to Congress about the availability of US military forces in the region to rapidly respond during the Benghazi terror attacks:

General [Carter] Ham testified on June 26, 2013, before the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, that moments after the Benghazi attacks began, he alerted Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey.

Secretary Panetta testified during a February 7, 2013, Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the Defense Department’s response to the Benghazi attack:

There was no specific intelligence or indication of imminent attack on the U.S. facilities in Benghazi. And, frankly, without an adequate warning, there was not enough time given the speed of the attacks for armed military assets to respond.

The United States military, as I’ve said, is not and, frankly, should not be a 911 service capable of arriving on the scene within minutes to every possible contingency around the world.

General Dempsey stated during the same hearing:

There’s some places on the planet where we have some gaps and I think North Africa’s probably one of them.

The former military member who had been stationed at Aviano Air Base also told The American Report that “The attacks, from what I’ve seen afterwards, were coordinated, and this was a long time planning, which leads me to believe that somebody knew something and called USAFE to be on an unofficial standby by calling a real world exercise.”

Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice also lied to the American People. They ludicrously pushed the lie that it was a protest over an obscure film. It was Suleimani who led the attack in Benghazi. They knew. Records were ordered destroyed.

Part of the reason they lied was because they were moving weapons through Benghazi. General Flynn exposed that the Obama Administration was arming ISIS terrorists.

Hillary Clinton has been lying since the day she came on the scene.

Canada Free Press reported:

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther — and goes much deeper — than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

The former service member who had been stationed at Aviano Air Base concluded by telling The American Report:

To put a little visual on this, I saw the “Thirteen Hours” movie, and there was one scene where the camera pans onto a few jets with Aviano Tails [AV], and it was just dead silence. That is a pretty accurate description of what had happened. But, that’s my story, and I wish there was something more we could have done about it.

U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Sellin (Ret.), PhD, received several emails, which he shared with The American Report this evening:

“My nephew is a Navy SEAL assigned at the time [of the Benghazi attack] to anti-piracy operations off the coast of Libya. They were ready, locked and loaded that night to go in and assist and were told to stand down.”

“And yesterday a neighbor here in Atlanta told me her daughter is a VA nurse in the DC area who’s been caring for a burn victim that was in Benghazi. Her daughter has been contacted three times over the course of his treatment by none other than Hillary herself, asking after the names of people who’ve been trying to talk to the patient. My neighbor doesn’t have a political bone in her body and isn’t aware of the newsworthiness of this item.”

“I should add that the person who sent me the information by email was a news reporter, not just someone spreading rumors,” Colonel Sellin stated.

Another former US military member told The American Report:

I was on [a US Navy ship] in the Mediterranean when our ship was called to aid and did nothing for 14 hours while they all died.

We had [dozens of] Marines locked and loaded to go. With flight ops running for 14 hours…

So much I can say about what our Navy has done to the sons and daughters of America to demolish and destroy our military. Weak liberal leadership purposely put in place to rid our military of good leadership.

Hillary Clinton canceled her trip to Ireland because of failure to give the order to go in. We wanted to go in so badly, but no orders ever came. Sad day for American servants everywhere, America will not save you.

Terrorism is being used to force The Great Reset by global elitists and communists. America is under assault and being dismantled before our very eyes. Their objective is the complete destruction of America — death by a thousand cuts.

Port of Wilmington Deal with UAE/Iraqi-owned GULFTAINER Moves Forward; Peter Richards Denies Russia and Terrorism Connections

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | April 11, 2018

On Friday, April 6, 2018, the Board of Directors of Delaware’s Diamond State Port Corporation voted unanimously to transfer control of the Port of Wilmington, Delaware, a major strategic U.S. port, to UAE-based GULFTAINER through a $580 million 50-year lease.

Twelve years ago the UAE’s Dubai Ports World pulled out of a deal to take over operations at six U.S. ports amid congressional investigations and intense public scrutiny. More →

Hillary’s (and Obama’s) Real Email Scandals

The continuing uproar over Hillary’s secret email server and her carelessness with classified information misses the bigger point.

Does anyone believe that if the world today was peaceful and stable anyone would care about Hillary Clinton’s secret email server?

The American people are nothing if not forgiving. In the case of the Clintons, Bill and Hillary, they are forgiving to a fault. Because the 1990s were relatively peaceful and prosperous, the American people chose to forgive the sins of the offensive (and offending) Clintons. This allowed them to repair their reputations, and later enrich themselves through a global money laundering and bribe machine known as the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary at the State Department: A Force for Sharia Law

Unlike the 1990s, Hillary’s tenure at the State Department was characterized by the promotion of chaos, anarchy, and Islamic terrorism.

The heart of the email scandal is not the less-than-ideal security of the server. Had Hillary’s time at State been successful or even uneventful, such technical details of cybersecurity would be buried in the back pages of the Washington Post and left for review by a special task force at State.

The real scandal that scares Clinton, and terrifies Obama, is what those emails say. It’s more than likely that they tell the truth about the invasion of Libya, the Arab Spring, Benghazi, and Obama’s/Hillary’s relationship with the terrorists. The specter of an alliance with the mothership of all Islamic terror, the Muslim Brotherhood, has stalked Obama since his friendship with Rashid Khalidi was revealed prior to the 2008 election.

Map of Arab Spring countries

We know that PSD-11 was Obama’s directive to codify the United States’ alliance with terrorists. This was the order to the U.S. government to work with the Muslim Brotherhood – the same group that birthed Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Taliban, etc.

By appointing Hillary, and her special assistant Huma Abedin, Obama effectively handed over the State Department to the Muslim Brotherhood. They used the U.S. Department of State to overthrow allied governments. Ruling Libya today is a terror regime, providing a base of operations for ISIS. In former regions of Iraq and Syria, a nascent Caliphate spreads like a cancer, committing genocide to erase all that is pre- and non-Islamic.

Through PSD-11, Obama and Hillary executed their plan to turn the existing order in the Middle East on its head by allying the U.S. with terrorists. The plan demanded isolating and endangering American allies, including Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. In doing so, they made the United States government a pariah to the civilized world.

With the recent Iran deal, Obama doubled down. As a result, the world is more dangerous today than it has been in generations.

Thick as Thieves, and the Power of Pardon

That’s why Hillary’s forfeiture of the server to the FBI last week will probably turn out to be a non-event. Does anybody who follows the Clintons think they would voluntarily self-incriminate? Though there may be backups somewhere, we can be sure that any damning emails related to the Arab Spring or the Clinton Foundation’s dirty deals have now been scrubbed clean by the best in the political cover-up business.

Moreover, if the truth got out regarding Hillary, the buck wouldn’t stop with her. It would go immediately up the flag pole, right into the Oval Office.

Obama’s “Department of Justice” is no such thing. Indeed, it is political weapon that creatively embraces injustice. With such endemic corruption, Hillary’s email scandal will probably culminate in the selection of a “fall person,” who would perhaps be charged (like David Petraeus) for mishandling classified information. This will clear the air for Hillary in 2016.

If this scenario plays out as predicted, Hillary will serve as a fall person for her former boss Obama, and then select among her staff her own sacrifice so that she can still run in 2016.

Finally, a Presidential pardon could clean up the mess, allowing Hillary’s fall person to avoid any and all consequences.

A Patriot’s Guide for Winning the Presidency in Four Issues

With so much riding on the 2016 Presidential Election, even the best candidate can get overwhelmed by the issues. Although many issues will be used to distract voters and divert attention, the four issues below are the most crucial we face as a sovereign nation and as people.

Just as Donald Trump paved the way for an honest discussion on illegal immigration, these issues (including illegal immigration) should be clearly communicated to the American public for their consideration in 2016.

These are NON-PC Talking Points and NON-PC Solutions for NON-PC Candidates!

Rule of Law

Respect for the Constitution. Presidential Executive Actions and Judicial activism were never intended to take the place of Congress.

Solution: Like Ronald Reagan, the next President must RESPECT and BE VOCAL about the Constitution, Rule of Law, Separation of Powers, and Checks and Balances.

Reign in the bureaucracy. Bureaucrats pass regulations that carry the same legal weight as Congressional law. This leads to costly legal confusion and red tape, which strangles commerce, opportunity, and individual liberty.

Solution: Congress must work with the next President to reform the bureaucracy. Congress must set legislative boundaries for regulation that prevent the bureaucracy from acting i) arbitrarily ii) politically. Bad bureaucrats must be fired.

Illegal Immigration

A Secure Southern Border. Thanks to Obama, the Southern border is wide open and Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to do their job. As a result, among the illegal aliens entering the country are criminals, cartels, and terrorists.

Solution: Enforce the existing laws and deploy significant additional law enforcement resources to the border. Build security walls in critical areas. Utilize existing solutions that work for other countries.

Fair Elections for Citizens ONLY! The Democrat Party, along with George Soros, has been importing illegal aliens. Many states are giving them IDs, allowing them to vote. If the Democrat’s agenda is so popular, why must they conspire to commit election fraud?

Solution: Work with States to develop stricter voter ID laws that prevent voter fraud. IDs should be issued to voters only after their citizenship is certified by State authorities.

National Security/Islamic Terrorism

The Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government, military, and intelligence agencies. According to multiple high ranking retired sources, this terrorist organization is undermining, and in some cases directing, our war on Islamic radicalism/terrorism. Its influence reaches the Presidency with Barack Hussein Obama. This is a Tier 1 threat to the security of the country and must be exposed and flushed out, akin to the Communist infiltration during the New Deal.

Solution: Establish Executive Tasks Forces within agencies, including the FBI, IRS, CIA, DIA, Pentagon, etc., to identify, investigate, indict, and purge all agencies of any and all Muslim Brotherhood agents of influence.

Obama has intentionally degraded America’s military strength.S. military strength is at its lowest level since 1949. According to the Pentagon, we are no longer able to fight a two-front war.

Solution: Dramatically increase size of armed forces, especially the Navy (600 ships). Revise Rules of Engagement so unconditional surrender of enemies is the objective of America at war.

Regain trust of former allies, and dump terror regimes of Iran and Cuba. America’s traditional allies in Western Europe, South America, and Asia are deeply questioning our commitment to their security and that of the free world. Compounding the problem, the U.S.A. has new friends in corrupt terror regimes of Cuba and Iran.

Solution: The next President should tear up any “deal” with Iran, which provides a clear pathway to nuclear weapons for the world’s leading sponsor of terror. Relations with Cuba should be revised strictly to the benefit of the United States and the democratic hopes of the Cuban people, not the Castro brothers and their police state government. Work to restore faith in our traditional allies (especially Israel, Jordan, and Western European nations) that America is on the right side of history.

Economy

There are more than 93 million Americans not in the labor force! A bubble stock market is not an economic recovery! There are too many Americans out of work and struggling financially.

Solution: Reform, simplify, and flatten that individual and corporate tax codes. Encourage growth and transparency. Make work more attractive than collecting government benefits.

Most new jobs since 2008 have gone to immigrants. It is destroying the Middle Class. While American citizens struggle, new immigrants are getting hired before them. This is unfair. Endless cheap labor only benefits the Chamber of Commerce and big corporations.

Solution: Immigration reform must put the American citizen and worker first – it’s only fair. To restore the American Middle Class, new immigration should be heavily restricted until labor participation reaches a historically normal rate.

National Debt of $18+ trillion is a threat to national security. The debt is so large it has become a serious threat to our national security. The government spends far too much money, runs too many programs and agencies, and lacks any reasonable standards of accountability.

Solution: Sunset entire agencies (e.g., Department of Education, Department of Energy, DHS). Decentralize government programs to States through Federalism. Enact Fed monetary reform to increase interest rates, which will force borrowing to slow. Work with allies to unwind debt.

Treaty with Iran Spells Disaster for the Middle East

Original at Israpundit

By Paul Vallely (MG, US Army Ret)

I have had the opportunity over the past 12 years to be a member of the Iran Policy Planning Group and have engaged in a positive manner the members of the Iran Opposition who defected from Iran after the Shah fell. My heart and soul yearned for them when the tyrannical government under the ayatollahs would be replaced by a democratic government. But that has never happened. All we have seen is an evil and radical Islamic regime gain in strength over the years and support international terrorism, torture and murder of its own people and others throughout the world. Can you only imagine what chaos and turmoil they will create with an expanded and stronger Armed Forces and with a nuclear capability that can reach any target by air, land and sea launched weapons?

Aiding and abetting an enemy (and Iran is) of the United States is a treasonous offense under the Constitution.

From 2009 to the present, Obama, with the guidance of Valerie Jarrett, has been involved in clandestine negotiations with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Americans will recall that on November 4, 1979 Iran “Declared War on the United States” when it invaded the US Embassy in Tehran and took all the Americans in the Embassy as hostages. Iran feared Ronald Reagan and his peace through strength and released our hostages very soon after Reagan was elected. Since then, for over 35 years, Iran has been killing thousands of Americans and expanding its hegemony throughout the Middle East and the world.

For 6 years, while Iran was employing Iranian manufactured Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to kill and maim (for life), thousands of members of the US Armed Forces, Obama has been involved in secret back channel negotiations in Oman, not negotiating to stop Iran from employing Iranian manufactured IEDs to kill members of the US Armed Forces, or in negotiations to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

For over 3 years, Obama has continued to lie to the American people, by saying first Hillary Clinton and then John Kerry have been engaged in negotiations to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons; nothing could be further from the truth. Obama has only been interested in normalizing diplomatic relations with Iran, regardless of the cost to the lives of US military personnel in combat over a 6 year period, regardless whether it resulted in giving Iran nuclear weapons to put atop its intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The treacherous activity with Iran began with Hillary Clinton, and continues with John Kerry. The Obama’s clandestine operations and activities have been covered up for 6 years by the left of center, liberal media establishment, and the members of the US Congress who have been kept informed of those step-by-step negotiations.

Obama chose to decouple his negotiations concerning Iran’s development of nuclear weapons from Iran’s aggressive behavior in the Middle East that was killing members of the US Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry backtracked on virtually every demand that would have curbed Iran’s nuclear weapons development program and on international inspection regime that would have detected Iran’s continued violations of every agreement it ever entered into.

The American people should know that Obama plans to give Iran $150 billion of US taxpayers money (that Iran will use to continue destabilize the Middle East), will lift economic sanctions that were imposed on Iran for going forward in the development of nuclear weapons, will enter into a formal agreement that will permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons, will allow Iran to keep 4 innocent Americans in prison (a US Marine, a Christian pastor, a retired FBI Agent, and a journalist), and for that agreement Obama will get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I take that back, Iran will be allowed to continue to kill and maim members of the US Armed Forces in Afghanistan with their IEDs.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei has been steadfast with his red lines, whereas, Obama made concession after concession on virtually every Iranian demand, such as excluding inspections by the UN’s IAEA inspectors to ensure Iran is not developing of nuclear weapons at military facilities. It really didn’t matter to Obama, since preventing the development of nuclear weapons was never the purpose of the negotiations—the goal of negotiations that began in 2009 has always been to focus on normalizing diplomatic relations with Iran, just like with Cuba,

Obama will soon authorize Iran to finalize their nuclear weapons capability and arsenal, not with an international treaty required by the US Constitution that would require a 2/3rd approval of the US Senate, but by another of his unconstitutional Executive Orders. In doing so, Obama will have initiated a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, may be responsible for forcing Israel to take action in self-defense to strike Iran’s nuclear weapons manufacturing facilities, and his ineptness will probably set the stages for escalating events into the first and second phase of World War III.

In 1815, the European powers met here to establish the post-Napoleonic order and through a balance of power arrangement bring peace to the continent. Obama surely appreciates the historical echo, since 200 years later he, too, means to create a peaceful order in an especially volatile part of the world by balancing the regional powers—Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Iran—to ensure that none of them gets too large a piece of the pie and frightens the others into making war. The Iran nuclear talks are important because Obama, a U.S. diplomat circularly explained here last week, “believes a peaceful Iran could be.??.??. The key to peace.”

Islamophobia? Fear of Islam is RATIONAL

There’s a reason why so many national security experts consider Islam the greatest threat to America and the West. Islam is the FACE OF and the BASE OF every modern terrorist organization.

In the short video below, international expert on Islam IQ al Rassooli explains the mentality of too many Muslims, who seek to dominate every other religion through terror.

UPDATE: Especially given today’s terrorist bombing in Egypt, which killed Chief terrorist prosecutor Hisham Barakat, it is clear to the world that President Sisi of Egypt recognizes the need for true reform in Islamic teaching.

Clare Lopez: Christopher Stevens was first American Envoy to Al Qaeda

From Bare Naked Islam:

Barack Hussein Obama together with Hillary Clinton decided to aid and abet al-Qaeda terrorists and Libyan Muslim Brotherhood jihadists to overthrow U.S. ally Muammar Ghaddafi and replace all the secular leaders in the Middle East with sharia-compliant Muslim Brotherhood governments.

Former CIA Operations and Intelligence Analyist, Officer, Clare Lozez, says that “America has switched sides in the war on terror under Barack Obama.” She said the global war on terror had been an effort to “stay free of Sharia,” or repressive Islamic law, until the Obama administration began siding with such jihadist groups as the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates.

Why the switch? Lopez explained, when the so-called Arab Spring appeared in late 2010, “It was time to bring down the secular Muslim rulers who did not enforce Islamic law. And America helped.”

With the Muslim Brotherhood thoroughly infiltrated through the Obama regimeand other branches of the federal government, Lopez has come to the conclusion Obama had essentially the same goals in the Mideast as the late Osama bin Laden: “to remove American power and influence, including military forces, from Islamic lands.”

Al Qaeda = Hamas = Muslim Brotherhood = Hezbollah = Qatar = Iran.

Get it?

Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren: Obama may reach out to Islam because 2 Muslim father figures abandoned him.

Do you get it now?
