Many refer to the President of the United States, leader of the sole superpower in the world, as the most powerful person on the face of the Earth. It follows then that Barack Hussein Obama, as President, would be considered this person.
But that would be an incorrect conclusion. Even Obama with his “we can’t wait for Congress to act” meme, spurning the legislative branch, spurning the checks and balances the Founding Fathers put in place—even with Obama spurning the Courts in the recent NLRB ruling deeming his “recess” appointments unconstitutional, there is one man who wields more power than Obama: CIA appointee John Brennan.
How can that be? Brennan is man who is actually relatively low in the White House food chain, who is nothing more than an adviser to the President, with the title of Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
Yet this man has a virtually unchecked amount of power—no, let us call it for what it is—unchecked power. Congress, the Courts, the CIA, even the Pentagon have no reign over this man as we shall see in a moment.
It was recently discovered that Brennan, running something akin to a fiefdom with his drone assassination program, has the power to decide who lives and who dies and doesn’t have to provide evidence to any entity that the “target” presents any threat to America—even if they are an American—even if the American is living in the United States!
Investigative Reporter Michael Isikoff uncovered a secret memo, entitled:
“Lawfulness of a Lethal Operation Directed Against a U.S. Citizen who is a Senior Operational Leader of Al Qa’ida or An Associated Force.”
The memo gives the Obama Administration—in effect Brennan—the authority to kill any American citizen at anytime for any reason without proof, without due process, and with absolutely no oversight.
The key passage in the sixteen page memo is the following:
The condition that an operational leader present an “imminent” threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future.
This was the basis for the drone strike against American-born al-Qaeda-linked terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki in September of 2011 in Yemen. And this was the basis of the murder of al-Awlaki’s sixteen-year-old son Abdulrahman, along with several other teenagers who were engaged in an outdoor barbecue. While it is debatable whether al-Awlaki as an American citizen should have received due process, it is doubtful that his son, murdered two weeks after al-Awlaki, had any connection to al-Qaeda.
But this unchecked power exercised by John Brennan is mild compared to what we learned with the recent release of an extensive book on the Benghazi consulate attack on September 11, 2012.
The book, Benghazi: The Definitive Report, released on February 12 makes the shocking claim that Obama’s chief counter terrorism officer, John Brennan, aside from having the authority to murder American citizens, has been waging a series of secret wars in North Africa and the Middle East against Al Qaeda and Al-Qaeda-linked groups. How secret? So secret that he and his minions at JSOC, Joint Special Operations Command, operated not only outside the purview of Congress but outside the purview of the Pentagon and CIA. Former CIA head David Petraeus wasn’t even aware of Brennan’s secret wars!
According to Benghazi: The Definitive Report, the attack on the Benghazi consulate had nothing to do with, as we were told, an amateurish anti-Muslim YouTube video leading to a “protest turned violent,” but was retaliation for John Brennan’s JSOC attacks on the Libya-based terrorist group, Ansar al-Sharia. This was the group that we learned had taken responsibility within two hours of the attack, of which information was emailed directly to the White House Situation Room. After said information was uncovered, the Obama administration denied was true.
It turns out that, per the book, the West, particularly the United States, leading up to the 2011 Libyan civil war had been flooding Libya with literally millions of weapons. After the West—NATO, with Obama at the helm—decided to topple Gaddafi, these millions of weapons then fell into Al-Qaeda and associated groups’ hands. And what Team Obama wasn’t funneling to the Syrian rebels (what Benghazi: The Definitive Report calls an “open secret”)—they wanted to get back from groups such as Ansar al-Sharia. Brennan, throughout North Africa, had been conducting his secret JSOC wars against al-Qaeda and associated groups; and lo and behold, yes, Mr. Brennan, there was retaliation. And that retaliation resulted in the deaths of four Americans at the consulate in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11.
The whole Obama Benghazi cover-up was only partially about hiding the illegal funneling of Libyan weapons to Syria and was mainly about the real—but illegal—Commander-in-Chief John Brennan conducting secret wars in Libya—without approval from Congress, without approval from the Pentagon, and hidden even from the CIA, with only a behind-doors approval by Barack Hussein Obama.
How can the “adviser” to Obama—John Brennan—have the authority to make war on any country in the world?
The answer is he doesn’t have the authority.
Brennan should be arrested, not appointed to lead the CIA. And the man who is doing the appointing—Barack Hussein Obama—should be immediately impeached.
After he is impeached?
Prison will come in due time.
As a postscript, for the record, Benghazi: The Definitive Report makes it clear that when the Benghazi consulate was attacked and requested help, the CIA annex was told to stand down. They were ordered to stand idly by while Americans were slaughtered. They refused. According to Benghazi: The Definitive Report:
[Tyrone Woods’] leadership that day, and his refusal to sit by and all his fellow Americans to be overrun, is a testament to his character. His willingness to stand up to his CIA boss and do what was right is an example of true American heroism. Glen Doherty ran toward the sound of gunfire…

obama is such a criminal, he doesn’t deserve to be running around free creating more problems. With this kind of evidence why is he not already impeached?
We all want him impeach along with congress. how can we do this and what can we do.
LFRAN: Congress won’t impeach itself. And they won’t impeach Obama. They all must be removed…….. lawfully. It must begin with the people removing the vast majority of Congress in 2014. Then the newly elected representatives (both houses) can proceed to remove Obama and his administration. That my take. Conservatives have to “out-vote” the freeloaders, the un-informed, and the rest of them that put Obama back into office. If we don’t, nothing will change. Our Constitutional rights and freedoms will be completely gone before 2016.
I don’t think the American people including a big shear of the one on here get the picture what is in the works or they wouldn’t be talking about 2014 or 2016. He just appointed two muslims to run homeland security . And just gave the gay couples in the military more benefits and i have been fighting for my military connected disability for eight years. Them SOBs can go to hell and kiss my ass.
Mercury, Obama has been ‘situating’ Islamists in the gov’t. for at least 3 years…..very strategicallly. And they get various levels of security clearance, write policy, rules -etc.
I have a son who was in Nuclear Submarine service four 4 tours…..his first thoughts about gays in the military was re: submarines (their space – fast attacks especially -is extremely limited) and these men are pretty much shoulder to shoulder. He readily admitted he would have rec’d a Court Marshall as this would have been beyond his tolerance.
I remember when women were admitted to West Point, Annapolis, AF Academy and the Citadel (a military school for rich kids who still call their fathers ‘Daddy’ at age 35)..and I thought that was disgusting.
Obama has done reprehensible deeds to the military – as with everything he does, it’s all about money and I am so sorry you are still standing in line. Why, of all people in the US (illegals, Islamists etc). has the military been getting the short end of the stick? If you were on welfare, you probably would not be in this situation – and I am truly sorry you are..(and that any veteran from any war needs help). Thank you for your bravery on our behalf – more people than you might imagine, are so grateful for you all -
LFran, you are right on, and in the mean time, get involved in ‘Everything’ in your state and local governments. Make it clear, we are not going anywhere; we don’t give a flip if what we do is PC, and we out to take our country back! The locals can be part of the solution, or they can start looking for a new job because they can be replaced too.
Do any of you really believe that Harry Reid would allow a trial to impeach Obama? Certainly not and it requires the senate to complete the impeachment.
We, by God’s grace, will have the chance to remove all the Democrats and all of the RINOS in 2014. Please be registered to vote and go vote. We can still remove him and his like.
AMEN!
Impeachment of The HNIC would result in a full Blown Race War!! Recipients now control our Gov’t. Every thing that either House of Congress Proposes, must pass the Ultimate Litmus Test–”What Will the Blacks Think of This, What will they DO, in Response?? The Net Result of all this P/C, Translate- [Pus-y Cra-ker] Krap, is the Total Destruction of the Most Successful Nation in History!
That goes for his Ace Boon Koon, “Eric The Red” Holder! In Spades! We are now living in an Un-Declared Communist Dick-Tatorship!
Wildmann and anybody who thinks that way , which , by the way , is childish . You all blame Congress . It’s not the Republicans , rather , blame where it belongs , the Senate and the Democrats . Congress would pass the vote , but the Senate , would not . Do you really think that LIAR reid would hold a trial against his boss , King Hussein ? Because , you NEED 60% of the votes , from both Houses , to have a trial , and it will be the Senate who will charge him , and anybody else . Not only are you childish , wildmann , your also a racist . Grow up little boy .
And you have the audacity to admonish Wildmann to “Grow up little boy” when what you have written here is total garbage. In accordance with the Constitution the House of Representative, the lower house, is responsible for drafting charges of impeachment (not the Senate as you have mistakenly written here) against a sitting president which are then sent over to the upper house, the Senate. The Senate then is obligated by law (not a matter of choice by the majority leader as you have mistakenly written here) to hold a trial whence the charges are adjudicated, i.e. argued on the floor of the Senate followed by a vote by the jury, the full Senate, in which 2/3rds of the Senate must vote to convict (not 60% as you have mistakenly written here). So that tallies up to 3 gross errors you have made in replying to Wildmann.
I suggest you grow you tiny brain with the facts of the law. Not only are you ignorant, but you are obviously bereft of an intelligent argument since as all such vacant drone minds and leftist mental patients do in such situations in which your beloved fraud, Obama, is the target of someone’s angry disagreement, you resort to the usual adolescent name calling, “racist.” Here’s your dilemma: Which part of him, Obama, is the target of your so-called racism? His white half or his black half? Duh!
Guys we are not going to get anything settled with this internet kung-foo if some one makes an honest mistake just explain thing to him don’t thy to belittle them to just make it look like you are a big brain. Let us not act like congress. UNITED WE STAND
Reid would table that as fast as he has tabled everything else the House has done. What about that don’t you understand? Your ignorance has shown itself also in your diatribe you just wrote down. Being rude and calling names just shows your absence of common courtesy to another. You respond just like a liberal would.
Wildmann – your point is well taken, but I am so tired of the Plantation Mentality, I don’t really care if there is a race war. Of approximately 313,000,000 +/- people in this country, 72 % are Caucasians; 16% are Hispanic or American Hispanic and 12% are black. If they are STILL that stupid, come on. I will never lie down for black men who are still calling me whitey, who blame whites for everything, have taken advantage of nothing in this country except welfare & guns, and birthing the next 3 generations of sad little children. Totally uneducated, lazy, gang bangers – and I’m going to worry about Obama being impeached? He should be drop kicked into the Potomac.
There are so many brilliant, educated, rational black men in this country who could return us to the America we knew or heard about……right now, Allen West stands out as a capable person.
But all you see or hear are the big mouths of Harry Belafonte, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, Eric Holder, Obama, Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Right… Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Charles Rangel,Colin Powell, Maxine Waters – the rabble rousers who want to keep blacks and stupid, along with the Democratic party. Not one of these men has an IQ one digit larger than his shoe size. Look what they do to their own – And all these names have floated to the surface as a huge entity since Obama became president.
If my forefathers fought for this country, so can I.
Agreed, however lets no leave out Hank Johnson (Mr Guam will capsize and tip over) if too many people are on one side of the island.
Well said, you my friend are dead on target!
So we should let an uniformed group of people dictate how to run this nation? That’s how we got into this mess in the first place. The Founders gave the vote to only those who owned land. They figured that they would be more educated. If the vote was given to those who didn’t own land, the Founders believed that it was only a matter of time before these people would learn that they could transfer money from the have’s to themselves through legislation and politicians who would do anything and promise everything to stay in power. Gues what, that is exactly what happened.
LIES & COVER UPS straight from the Horses Butts and the Liberal lackeys, they think we are so Dumb and don’t know nothing.
Benghazi was NOT a consulate…it was a ‘compound’ with a villa and some out buildings. It was used as a gun-running operation, transferring weapons from Libya, to Turkey, into Syria.
theonethatknows , HUH ???????
We still have 4 murdered Americans and that is the whole point. Let’s don’t nitpick just for the sake of argument. the president and his administration need to be called to account for their actions on that night.
Calling Benghazi a consulate is wrong…it had no Ambassador!
If stating a fact is being ‘nitpicky’, I plead guilty. It was in no way something to argue about, except to someone not able to accept a fact!
So what!
…drone assassination program… coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
So, when is John Boehner going to submit impeachment documents to the Senate?
gABOR zOLNA , what good would that do , anyways ? About as good as the court that said what King Hussein was wrong when he hired the two when the ” recession ” was on . Last time I checked , King Hussein told the court to ” eff you ” .
It wouldn’t do a bit of good. When Clinton was impeached by the House, the dems in the House looked at the evidence and were shocked. The Senate, both dems and rino’s (there were no true conservative Repbulicans) refused to even look at any evidence, limited the procedings to one count, and the witnesses to only two or three. The outcome was decided before any testimony was given.
Why should he? Reid would never let it go through anyway.
I know this is going to be hard for some to relate to, but is very true. Those that think they are doing right or just doing evil acts for their own needs are having their names and attitudes written up in a book that God has. What they have done, are doing and thinking to do are all written up. And when the time comes, their acts are going to be before God and them. There will be no way out, unless they truly ask for forgiveness. Christians now and will go through much, but the rewards are going to be way beyond imagination.
Maybe this is book is cover too, to enhance Brennan’s credentials as an Al Qaeda dragon slayer. Still think it was a black op gone bad. The intent, to kidnap Stevens and trade him for the Blind Sheik. The treasonous scandal is that Obama and Morsi planned it likely with Brennan as the architect. Explains so much, everything that went on before, during and after the attack. Through that prism even the stupid video makes sense as a necessary component. Obama couldn’t be seen to be dealing with terrorists, but being sensitive to an outraged insulted Muslim mob was doable, thus the video. It is possible that the video itself was a construct of this operation. The 2 exSEALS messed everything up by refusing orders not to fight, or they might have pulled it off. The did not count on the SEALS acting like true American heroes, and the mammoth fail of their operation led to the doubling down on using the crazy illogical video as the reason for the death and destruction.
Barack Obama and “his” White House administration are all thugs and criminals, in my opinion. Why doesn’t anybody have the guts to bring impeachment proceedings against this piece of Muslim camel-crap? Kick out Pelosi and Reid while you’re at it.
Well toohip , what about you ?
Barack Obama has made a sham out of the US Presidency and out great nation. Doesn’t ANYBODY give a damn about what he is doing to America?
It’s easy to blame some one else , isn’t it toohip ?
Yes, Obama has found that to be so hasn’t he?
Say what you want, but nothing is going to change unless we can get people in the senate and house who are Americans, not career politicians. It looks like Obama is committed to destroying (he says fundamentally changing) America. If we can’t get representatives to put country before career, there’s a good chance that Obama will run roughshod over us and become president for as long as he wants.
Speak your mind? Indeed. Try this on for size:

Get rid of the root cause – Barry Soetoro.
There are a few things we can do to fight obama.
Don’t register your weapons. He will confiscate them.
Don’t turn in your gold when the government demands it. The government has forced people to turn in their gold before.
Get informed and educate your friends and family. Encourage them to read history and learn about Americanism vs Communism.
Pray a lot and thank God for everything you have. Ask Him to protect America.
Write your congress people regularly.
Network with others about what is going on.
Prepare for emergencies.
Never give up because if we lose our freedoms, we will never see them again in our life time.
I sent this to my Senators and Rep, but they are complicit in the Illegal Aliens Muslim Communist’s Coup d’etat. So, I don’t expect anything to come of this except more Cool Aid Drinking by the Masses and Leaders. If you can read these questions and not think there was Treason, I pity you.
Quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “[T]he attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt….the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… [that] would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…”
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Was Obama’s SECRET PLANS to: RUN GUNS AND MISSILES TO AL QAEDA and TRADE THE BLIND SHEIK FOR AMBASSADOR STEVENS, after ENABLING his KIDNAPPING.
The Mob Action, introduced in Egypt and other embassies and its claimed cause was to be an Anti Muslim movie trailer. That was the planned cover for the Kidnapping in Benghazi. The action at Benghazi was supposed to be blamed on the same mob action as in Egypt.
Question: Does anything done by “Any Actor” make any sense, except in the context of “The Secret Plans”?
A few questions that can be completely explained by the “Secret Plans”.
1. Why did Amb Stevens have dinner with the Turkish General Council?
2. Why did the terrorist attack on the Consulate begin immediately after the Turkish General Council left?
3. What happened to the 15,000 SA-7 Grail/Strela-2 missiles that Muammar Qaddafi had acquired and the USA Stinger missiles provided by Barack Obama to overthrow Qaddafi?
4. Was Amb Stevens running guns and missiles to the Al Qaeda in Syria through Turkey?
5. Because Al Qaeda has been at war with the USA, openly attacking the USA for about 20 years, since 1993; would Running Guns and Missiles and other War Material to Al Qaeda be Treason?
6. Did Obama want to release the Blind Sheik, but had no justifiable reason to do so?
7. Why were 3 MST and 1 SST security details removed from Libya?
8. Why did Hillary request/demand more security, but Obama denied more security, several times?
9. Why were ex-Seals, Doherty and Woods, told to stand down 3 times?
10. Why did Obama tell the CIA to NOT help defend the Consulate?
11. Why did Obama and his minions watch live video of the attack and not act?
12. Why was an American Drone flying over the consulate recording video BEFORE the attack began?
13. Predator Drones carry Hell Fire Missiles, why were none fired?
14. Why were the Seals Lazing a Target, giving away their position and no Hell Fire missiles were fired?
15. Why did Obama blame it on a video that no one (only 17 views on YouTube) had ever seen?
16. Why did Obama fire General Ham for moving to assist the Consulate?
17. Why was an AC-130 Gunship, 90 minutes away, not sent to aid the Consulate?
18. Why were the F-16′s only 20 minutes away not sent to help the consulate?
19. Was the reason that the Aircraft were not sent, because Obama was afraid that USA A/C would be shot down with the anti-Aircraft missiles (Stingers) that Obama supplied to the Terrorists?
20. Why did the plan stick with the plan’s excuse of the Sham “Mohammed is an Idiot” Movie Trailer?
21. Why did the Ansar al-Sharia try to save Ambassador Stevens by taking him to a Hospital/Emergency Room?
22. Why did Ansar al-Sharia surround the Hospital where Ambassador Steven’s body was taken and not let anyone in or out?
23. Why was a Libyan Military person photographing the Consulate before the Attack?
24. Why could the President not get an interview with a participating Terrorist for weeks when Senator Lindsey Graham got Tunisia to permit the FBI interview him within 24 hours of the request?
25. Why was the Terrorist that was held by Tunisia never interviewed by the FBI or the CIA.
26. Why was the Terrorist in Tunisia released and got totally Free without the USA stopping his release or questioning him?
27. Why were Senior counter terrorism personnel cut out of the Loop, the Foreign Emergency Security Team was not called?
28. The Embassy in Egypt was attacked by a Mob Action and the motive was the Film Trailer. This was part of the Plan and does not make sense, except if it was a part of the Kidnapping Plan with the joint actions in Egypt and Benghazi?
29. Why did the Idiots in the White House stick with the Planned Motive of the Film Trailer, claiming that it started the attack?
30. What are the Names of the 25 people saved by the Navy Seals?
31. Where are the Sworn Statements, describing the details of the attack, made by the 25 witnesses who were saved by the Seals?
32. The President seems to have not been around, physically or mentally, not even knowing what happened at Benghazi, or he was stoned on his favorite candy, Crack Cocaine.
33. Larry Sinclair says Barack Obama is a Crack Addict. Check out Sinclair’s You Tube Video in which he claims he has hard evidence of his two Homosexual Trysts with Obama and Drugs. Or just buy Larry Sinclair’s book he wrote about Obama and his sexual Trysts and Murders.
It is named: “Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & murder”. The Amazon online book store has it: use this web URL:
http://www.amazon.com/Barack-Obama-Larry-Sinclair-Cocaine/dp/0578013878
34. The Fly in Obama’s Treasonous Plans; Two Brave American Heroes, Navy Seals. They should both receive, posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, after Obama’s Conviction for: High Crimes, Misdemeanors, Murders and High Treason.
BOTH OR EITHER OF THESE PLANS AND ACTIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY TREASON. Barack Obama is guilty of High Treason and Murder and should be IMPEACHED NOW.
I have heard since that Obama did not watch it. He was in Colorado partying. There was one phone call between him and Washington and that was all.
More evidence of the criminality being committed in the name of We The People Of The USA by this Fascist Obama Regime. Until Obama and all of his Henchmen are removed from power, no citizen in the USA is safe, if they dare oppose this regime or make an effort to expose this regime’s ruthlessness and lawlessness. That is why Ambassador Stevens had to be Snuffed by the Obama Regime, because he was “The Man Who Knew Too Much” about the treasonous actions being carried out by Brennan and others on the Authority and Orders from the Obama Regime, of which Obama himself is the chief traitor.
“Should be immediately impeached…”
Impeachment is an interesting and at one time an important function of congress, but in today’s internet culture there is no concrete evidence any more. The Nixon and Clinton presidencies poisoned the process so badly that sentencing is impossible. A better idea would be to not let the history revisionists omit the “warts” when telling our descendants about our nation’s first president of color.
[[ Many refer to the President of the United States, leader of the sole superpower in the world, as the most powerful person on the face of the Earth. ]]
Yup….. after a 3 week vacation (in 4 trips to Hawaii and back) during Xmas and New Years).. he’s for sure the most powerful person ever graced the world stage —- January was hardly over from that vacation when he decides to take another one….He’s so smart… he uses (Taxpayers money) money to pay $1.000 fee to play golf with Tiger Woods or learn some of the tricks of the trade down in Florida…. He is on CONSTANT vacation… Yup…. he’s the most powerful person in the world all right… so was Hitler during his time too.. but you see where he is now…..
GIVE ME LibBERTE OR GIVE ME DEATH. Fight the good fight of Faith ,ETERNITY is well worth it and within sight..
I’m not sure I believe this. I read a news email back a little after it happened, that quoted a source inside the Whitehouse as saying that the whole thing was supposed to be an attack where Obummer would come in and pull a Ronald Reagen and free the hostages. That is why everyone was told to stand down and two commanders were fired when they refused. There were only native guards who did not put up any resistence. It was supposed to be a cakewalk for the attackers. When two Navy Seals showed up and offered resistence, the attackers fealt betrayed and went berserk, as Muslims oftent do.
This makes the most sense to me. Why else would our forces be ordered to stand down. Only Obama could give that order.
I like your take on this. Makes sense. I think that obama was running guns through Benghazi. That is why the Turkish general was there. They are being funneled over to Syria and in the hands of the al qaeda who are fighting the Syrian military. Obama had no problem selling weapons to the drug cartels in Mexico so why not the al qaeda? He is a crook and a traitor.
To answer this, they were ordered to Stand Down, so that the Assassins could take Ambassador Out Permanently, because he was the Man Who Knew Too Much about the Traitorous deeds being carried by the Obama Regime, that had just Toppled the Legitimate Libyan Government and assassinated their president, and turned the nation over to Islamic Terrorists, Supplied Weaponry and Military Support, including Air Strikes in the Overthrow of the Legitimate Government and who were now taking the weapons out of Libya to wage war against Syria and other Legitimate Governments in the Middle Eastern and North African states. The Obama Raid on Libya was totally unlawful and un-constitutional and he got by with it. Libya was but a practice run for more attacks of this sort in order to turn the world into chaos with Muslim Terrorists and Communists ruling the world. Obama used the Authority of the UN and NATO to order attacks with Absolutely No Authoriztion by Congress and in total violation of his Constitutional Rights. At this point, we are living under Anarchy by the Obama Regime as relates to U.S. Constitutional Law.
