| Earlier this week on The O´Reilly Factor, Bill O´Reilly and Charles Krauthammer came to the same -- and obvious -- conclusion as to why the Obama White House felt compelled to misrepresent the events at Benghazi on September 11. As O´Reilly noted, the administration hoped "to tamp the story down so it didn´t intrude on their narrative that the Obama administration had decimated al-Qaeda." "The real story would have gone against the narrative," Krauthammer agreed, adding, "I´m not saying that there was a deliberate conspiracy from day one, but as this story unfolded

Read it again, #2. Headline pretty much tells you. If you reached a different story at the link (I did not), simply report it to Staff - they´re very good at responding to such mishaps.
I would also suggest to those who do see the connection between TWA800 and Benghazi narratives to also look into the OKC bombing - check Jayna Davis´s work: http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Third_Terrorist.html?id=UasfK4zQnecC
Similar narrative there from the First Black President.

Apologies, #2. Thought you referred to the original article link - I had not yet looked at #1´s referenced link ... But you´re correct - it has nothing to do with this article. Not sure why it´s posted here.....

Whether it be the Secret Service or the FBI or the CIA or our top military brass - which is rock solid for the people?
Oh, it´s the President and his Cabinet?
Honestly, I trust the House of Representatives more than any of the above because of the Tea Party´s commitment to accountability. If it weren´t for the Tea Party all our hope would be extinguished.

O´Reilly was soft on Obama before the election, referring to him as merely a politician with the usual attributes.
Obama was, is and will be an enemy of Americans with the worst intentions for us and goal of an Islamo/Marxist dictatorship.
Nickle-and-diming him at this point is pointless.

The razzle/dazzle game can stop...
Americans who really "care" -- know what happened and DC will do nothing about it. Rice killed three thousand on 9/11 when she and gen clark told bubba NOT to kill osama a decade before. These four Americans in Benghazi are only a bump in the road....
America hold on -- the next four years are gonna be a bumpy ride....
Not until the demorats see the Chgo thugs in all their thuggery will America be saved....

I agree, #4. This brings to mind OKC. What happened to John Doe #2? The Middle Eastern accomplice got scrubbed within days so Clinton could shape the narrative to win the mid-term elections. Vile people. Glad this is a Must Read.

I´ve NEVER believed the narrative of the TWA 800 "final findings", NEVER.
I was obsessed with the terrorist attack on TWA 800, I read everything I could get my hands on. Without a doubt, it was a missile attack.
Benghazi was the exact same thing. It was a terrorist attack, planned and executed. THEN lied about to protect politicians.
How the American People ALLOW the media and Politicians to get away with it, is beyond me.
Our country is full of people who think if it doesn´t effect them, sobeit.

We have been the proverbial frog in the pot of water that gradually heats up unnoticed. At what point are we going to jump out and realize we need to dump the entire house and senate and establish term limits? Because that is what it will take to get a government that responds to those they supposedly represent.
Will it be when they target us for reading articles like this one with the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace program? Will it be when they steal our 401ks? Will it be when they detain someone we know without due process? Will it be when a law of the U.N. supersedes a U.S. law on our soil? Will it be when we see the military on our streets, or worse yet, the Obama Youth Army? Will it be too late?!
I lay much of the blame at the feet of a complicit press. They are like Broadwell cuddled up to Petraeus and so thrilled with their unprecedented access. They do stories on which celebrity is breaking up with their boyfriend and what is a good recipe, while our country sleeps through the europeanization of our nation. I can´t tell you how many times I have shouted, "Why isn´t Fox News reporting on this?!" It is sad, but true that we have to go to Canada to get a free press that will tell us what is going on in our government!

Until there is a media that will cover this in a thoughtful or truthful manner, we are doomed to have another disaster. Im sick of political hacks determining what is best for a candidate, instead of the candidate doing the job they swore on a Bible to do.
Thanks for reminding us about Flight TWA 800. I must admit, most of this is not common knowledge and again, amazing how corruption in government and media manipulation has evolved. Im so sad for our country right now.

I´d stopped watching BOR because of his contortions, nightly, to defend Obama from guests and everyone else. I wondered when he´d wake up. He has. He realizes now Obama used him. As he does with everyone. I hope to goodness they (Republicans and conservatives) don´t let the Benghazi story die. This administration let 4 loyal Americans be murdered. I know who I blame. Let´s see how he gets out of this.

Weasley Clark´s contribution to Rwanda was to get our US troops out of harm´s way when the murderous rampage began.
Weasley Clark helped bubba break the posse comitatus law when he got an army tank and banned gas with which to attack the compound at WACO.
Weasley Clark continued on with his evil ways during the Yugoslavia debacle.
It is no wonder he was immediately hired by CNN.

Bill, Charles and others need to take it a step farther. It was more than a terrorist attack, it was an attack by Iranian operatives against a US operation to run arms from Libya, where the US had run a CIA operation against Gadafi, to Syria via Turkey to support the rebelion in Syria. Obama doesn´t want it known that the Benghazi thingy was conducted by a nation because then it would be an act of war perpetrated by a nation rather than a rag tag group of terrorist (I think even Obamaphone users could understand the implications).

The Obama administration will be investigating Benghazi and Fast and Furious when they leave office. Due to the complexity of the investigation, it will be continuing, although no one is assigned to it.

800 proved it, JFK assasination proved it, Waco proved it, tje McMurrah building in Oklahoma proved it, Vince Foster´s supposed suicide also proved that our Mafia Media TV press can distort, disrupt, change, blank out omit any event they dcide to censor and dispose of right in front of our inquiring eyes. It´s as if the media, sworn in blood to tell the one story only, not unlike the Communist Party Line, a single line of well designed words that you simply DO NOT cross over. Nobody has yet mentioned JFK´s former press secretary, the affable Pierre Sahlinger and flight 800. It was the well meaning Pierre, who continued to push the real evidence, the witnesses, the fireball heavy fire, against all odds of the silent press. And it was Pierre Sahlnger who was quietly muscled out of media for the rest of his life. The conspiritorial uniformity of the rigid old Brokaws and the beautiful younger Diane Sawyers is overwhelming when reviewed, crooked story by crooked story, of the series of repressed truths. Our supposed watch dog press is blind to truth. What makes matters worse is that the good guys Hannity, Rush, Glenn, Krauthamer, Levin, Steyn, Malcolm, O´Reilly, even Stossell, simply will not focus on THEIR OWN LYING MAFIA MEDIA UNION COLLEAGUES.

We have literally been at war with Iran since the hostage crisis. And, no one seems to want to admit it or do any thing about it. Some day it will explode and what a mess that will be. It is only a matter of time before the attacks become real from Iran here at home.

Comments after the story tell me that they did not even read Mr. Cashill´s great book.I have gone on this site a few times and told of the shootdown,and all the same names come up in each case.Mainly,both Clintons,George steppy,Berger,Dick Morris,the famous jamie gorlick,Al Gore,the FBI,CIA,and many more names you will recognise.All were given some sort of payback for being a loyal lier I mean soldier.Georgie got a TV show,FBI head investigater got a cushy job at some credit card company,Gore went on to be rich by his global warming scam and many more.This was the start of "you did not see or hear that".We are the government and we know better.Same players,different scandal.

I knew one of the TWA pilots at the time of the crash. He was not on the flight, but very close to the pilots and crew who died.
He said at the time, and continues to say today, that he and other TWA pilots are totally convinced that a missile brought down that flight.

#28, US Air flight pilots saw it happen too. It drives me nuts. The media has a message and orders from the Gov´t and they repeat it. No questions asked.
I´ll never forget Brian Williams on MSNBC, it was the the beginning of that cable channel and he said all evidence points to a terrorist attack as they reported the news that night and spoke to countless eyewitnesses.
Later, the media, Gov´t, FBI all were able to turn the eyewitnesses into wackos who saw optical illusions... Sorry not buying it!

#22, agree with most of what you say, except that I view Sawyer and Brokaw as contemporaries--Brokaw is only five years older than Sawyer, though I´m sure she would deny it.
I admire the work Cashill has done on Flight 800. Several of the passengers were people I knew (remarkably, flying separately and not known to each other). Their families grieve to this day. That our government covered up the cause of the crash is a disgrace.

James Kallestrom quit the FBI after TWA 800. head of FBI investigating it. Gave a would-be bride back her found on the beach engagement ringe based on description. He knew something was other than official story.
Book: Nightfall. Nelson DeMille.
Families: Joe Lychner was one who wanted to know, then he became accepting because he had to bury his wife and 2 young daughters. The ones he´d just seen off hours before in Texas. He couldn´t keep going if he didn´t put IT someplace. It wasn´t as apparent as Pan Am 103.
Stephanopolous kinda said it all: "the bombing of TWA 800" .... just like "you mean your CHRISTIAN FAITH" He said them both. If you don´t recall, search it.

It seems to me (and I could be wrong) that before 9/11 the U.S. used to have commercial aircraft crashes, certainly not routinely, but much more frequently than now. Prior to that we had the jumbo jet that went down near O´Hare (1979), the jet that crashed into the Potomac (1982), Lockerbie (1988), the jet that crashed into the Everglades (May 1996), TWA 800 (August 1996), the jet that crashed off of Peggy´s Cove in Nova Scotia (1998)and the four flights of 9/11. After that happened we had one more crash in the Rockaways in November, 2001 and since then nothing for over a decade, that I know of. The part of that cluster of crashes that particularly disturbs me is from Lockerbie to the Rockaways.

TWA 800 was before the ´internet´ but after proto-types like Prodigy got started and I read an awful lot about it there. With that said, I didn´t sense the changes in the story mentioned in the article.. I think the author did us a fabulous service with this narrative.
And, right, they shouldn´t be able to get away with this.

I thought why was a back-water type city like Benghazi accorded an ambasador status and were their two ambasadors in Libya. Checked Wikipedia and found that the National Front for the Liberation of Libya (whatev it is called) is located there. this is the group we armed, and NATO too-to fight against Kadaffi. So I came up w/the thought that we are still supplying munitons and guns to them and it is going "elsewhere". Also to the list of terror attacks add seeding of storms off Venezuela..No, really there is some thing different about these super stoms. Also add the calif fires from the last few years...Set by terrorists using patsies.

In one of his more well-publicized gaffes, Vice President Biden said of John McCain: "Look, John´s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed. The evidence is now overwhelming: they have created the worst employment climate in decades.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

Boehner also said that he and Obama have a good relationship, and that they are "open with each other ... honest with each other." I know it sounds unbelievable, so watch this 22-second video. Where to start? Well, how about these specific examples of Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama not being "absolutely" trustful? I´m sure AT readers can think of others.

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander. Citizens of Israel are Jews, Moslems, Christians, and Druze, each with religious and non-religious elements.

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul). I´m talking about the Chicago Jacksons, Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. The Jackson 5 in their heyday gave plenty: music, entertainment, and joy to their fans. The Chicago Jacksons are another story. Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
