Mint Juleps and Murder: Partyin' on the Plantation begins
This is one of my favorite chapters out of the Mint Julep Mysteries. I am about to start another book in this series. I re-read this. Laughed once more. Thought I would share.
Chapter Three
I had discovered before the taping of the first show for Partying on the Plantation that the crew thought we were a pair of “rich Southern bitches.” I heard one of the make-up girls say so, though as of yet, neither Sophie nor I had any contact with them. I cocked my ears toward the two women gossiping. “Look at all those fancy dishes. You put that stuff out at a party and everyone knows you’re putting on airs.” They thought our grandmother’s gold-rimmed Limoges china, etched crystal and antique English silver (that we’d gotten off of YOWAY and delivered by SpedEx. giving me the willies, I might add) was “putting on airs”! We’d been delighted to find a set of china that actually could have been our Grandmother’s. The goblets and silver looked so much like that she had been so proud of we both cried as we’d washed and dried each piece by hand. We thought it looked beautiful on the polished mahogany table beneath the Czechoslovakian crystal chandelier. Grandmother had hauled water for cooking from the stream to cook in kitchen of the little house across the street from Waverly. She and the other women in the neighborhood scrubbed their clothes in that same stream. She picked up pecans for spending money and built her up a small herd of cattle one by one. She made biscuits and stuck her finger in making a hole into which to pour molasses for her children’s lunches. That was what they could afford. In bad times, people paid the doctor last. Or brought him produce and called it even. My daddy said as a little boy he’d watch children eat their lunch of a slice of pineapple with mayonnaise between two slices of white bread and he swore to himself that someday he’d have the money to buy white bread and pineapple. When the time came that Grandmother could afford those pretty dishes and the etched glass, she had earned it. If she got pleasure out of using them, God bless her. Would the rest of America appreciate the sentiment? That her granddaughters were paying homage to their Grandmother’s memory? Would they miss the purpose of doing things graciously? I felt my confidence drain. Mick Jefferson, the independent videographer whom the Dishing It Network had hired to chronicle the show from a real life perspective, spent a lot of time with that television crew. He took me aside and told me that Sister came off as aloof, too refined, intellectual and elegant. “She might not translate well on television,” he said. I was afraid of that. But then he continued, “And, from the practice tapings I have done to help the two of you get used to the cameras, you are filming stiff, anxious and too eager.” I know my dismay was written all over my face.“I say that as a friend,” he assured me.Finally the day arrived for the actual filming to start. We would tape the preparation of different dishes for the show in Sophie’s kitchen. Brilliant lights lit the kitchen and though the air conditioning blasted full force, it still was hot as hell in that room! The breakfast room that was really just a part of the kitchen was filled with the Dishing It Network crew. Nerves were raw because of the heat and because it was our first time to all work together. As if my nerves couldn’t get any tighter, I came into the kitchen in the middle of a hot flash wondering why everything was so quiet. I found everyone on the production staff with their eyes focused as one under the pine table in the breakfast room of Grandmother’s kitchen. I looked toward where they were looking. Eudo happily humped away under the table on the much-abused slipper I’d given up on ever wearing again. Dido languished, watching Eudo with resignation. Their presence had been written into the contract. Sister hated to let them get out of her sight since her last visit to the pet psychiatrist. Apparently he had convinced her that Eudo suffered from separation anxiety and he should be allowed his “connection” with the inanimate object that gave him comfort. His “loss” (the neutering) exacerbated by Gil’s death had triggered a psychosis that was activated by his slight exposure to the mercury. I thought that was a bunch of baloney and it was just a way to get Sister to ante up bucks for more visits. Whatever. They were her babies and if she needed him near … well, I’d try to look the other way. “What’s going on?” I whispered to Mike. “The crew has taken bets on how long that little guy can last,” he answered without looking up to see who had asked the question. I began to worry. Where was Sister? The sound of running water drew my attention away from Eudo. Sister was at the sink washing the bird she was to roast for what I knew must be the umpteenth time. She’d scrub her hands down to her elbows, spray all the surfaces with Bleach-Lite and then pop on sterile gloves out of a box to start all over again. You’d have thought she prepared for surgery instead of a filming the roasting of a chicken.Both she and Eudo were oblivious to the prying eyes. I, being a Southern lady attempted to be refined, pretending to ignore the indelicate behavior. We are taught early that it is “common” to acknowledge vulgarity. I picked my way through the crew to a spot behind the cameraman where I could watch the action. We had gone over the process of preparing and roasting a turkey several times. Sophia consulted with Julia Child’s French Cooking video and the book (basically a lot of common sense advice) and our own family recipe book. No cook in our past had thought anyone needed to know measurements. We were supposed to know what a pinch or a dash was! But Sister was a trooper and took things seriously. She prepared two turkeys that we’d eaten off of for the last week just to be sure she knew what she was doing. Cameron, our producer, entered the kitchen oblivious to the crew’s distraction. He called, “Quiet on the Set.” The “set” the man had said. Sister’s kitchen was a “set”! God help us. It sunk in on me.When Cameron called “Action” Sister froze. Apparently it had just sunk in on her as well! She stood with a deer-in-the headlights kind of expression holding the bird with a leg in each hand and its empty, perfectly clean cavity flashing directly toward the camera. This woman who could face life or death situations with ease had frozen with fear in front of those cameras. But not only was she frozen, she held the turkey in a particularly obscene position toward the cameraman who shook with laughter behind his tripod.Mick Jefferson, the videographer filming the filming of the show for a documentary, attempted to smother a laugh and started choking. Contagious laughter spread though the production crew attempted to hold tightly to its professionalism. A cough, a chuckle, a giggle and it grew.I couldn’t help it. The thought ran through my mind that I’d seen women sit with just about as much modesty. A farsighted doctor could almost perform a pelvic examination they would have their legs spread so wide … just like Sister held that bird. Like a wave at an Alabama game, the suppressed chuckles spread, sounding like a group coughing fit. So, we had a dog humping and a bird flashing and Sister caught frozen wide-eyed, mouth open, gaping about as badly as that poor bird. And then the ruckus began. Gigi, my white standard poodle, and Madame Bovary, my Maine Coon cat had been brought at my request to Waverly. Gigi apparently discovered Madame Bovary’s hiding place upstairs in the laundry room where I thought I had left the door securely closed. The silence of Sister’s deer-in the headlights moment was broken by a startling, hair-raising “Yeowwwwww” which the way some of the crew jumped I knew they thought was the spirit of the voodoo priest come to reclaim his bed. Then came a thumping and a rush of paws on the ebony stained floors as Gigi chased Madame Bovary around the upstairs balcony, down the carved mahogany stairs, down the long hall into the kitchen and under the table where Madame Bovary took refuge. There Gigi got distracted by the two teeny tiny little excuses for dogs that Sister adored. She decided they were stuffed animals. Gigi grabbed Eudo by the tail and flipped him up in the air. The make-up girl caught him in mid-air. Sister unfroze immediately and dropped to her knees to crawl under the table to rescue her babies while the rest of us tried to corral Madame Bovary. Cameron finally grabbed Madame Bovary by the tail as she ran past and now held her tightly while she hissed and sputtered at the dog that had disturbed her rest. I grabbed Gigi, no little dog, and pulled at her collar dragging her from the kitchen and shutting her up in the bathroom under the stairs. The whole room now lay in shambles. Power cords got wrapped around the feet of those who were involved in the lighting and filming of our first show as they had jumped and twisted to avoid becoming involved in the cat and dogfight. People flailed and fell in all directions. Then more laughter began.Sister sat flat on the floor with her feet extended from under the table cradling and comforting Dido. She caught the fever and was now red in the face and gasping for breath. A snorting, hooting woman rolling with laughter was not aloof and too intellectual. At last Sister had revealed her true self.Mick captured it all on tape. “If the show is a flop, you can recoup some of your losses by submitting this to America’s funniest home videos,” he hooted.I joined Sister on the floor laughing so hard I couldn’t stand. “Think on the bright side,” the make-up girl said, still holding Eudo whose eyes looked like they were going to pop out and his ears stood straight up like he’d been electrocuted. He looked around for that crazy dog that had attacked him. “Maybe that little shock therapy is just what that damned dog needed!” When the animals had all been secured and out of sight, we wiped the tears of laughter from our eyes. The make-up girl bonded with the studly Eudo. The way Eudo followed after her, we had hope that perhaps he had transferred his affections. “Eventually he’ll realize she’s beyond his reach,” the never before witty Cameron, our producer said matter-of-factly. That did it. We were rolling in the floor again. From that point forward the atmosphere was light and easy and the filming less intimidating. Sister now felt comfortable. Shooting a bird took on new meaning. Cameron’s pun challenged each member of the crew to out do the other. We only had to mention Gigi or Madame Bovary and they all began to quake in mock fear. We had bonded. Sister and I encouraged Carol, the make-up girl, to help us make the show less intimidating and out of reach for the average viewer. We wanted her to tell us if we became pretentious in any way. Incredibly, Faye Lynne showed up just as we were about to begin taping. I was so shocked I could not think of anything to say to keep her out of production. “You don’t know what we’re cooking,” I tried.“How hard can it be to select a spice from a shelf when you tell me what you need? It’s show business you need and it’s show business I know! You two are so inexperienced in show business, you need me,” she said and then she hurried up the stairs to put on her dress for the show.“What about Estrellita?” I asked, but she was already upstairs by then.I didn’t have time to worry.Our show would be simple with shots from the garden to sister in the kitchen with the bird and me mashing potatoes the way my mama did it and making rolls using mayonnaise. We’d boil green beans with onions and cream a little corn.Cameron called, “Roll it!” Julio played our intro, a song he’d written just for Partying, a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. My heart pounded like a herd of wild horses. I’m sure I had that same deer-in-the-headlights look on my face I’d seen on Sister earlier. I took a deep breath and forced a smile.I welcomed everyone and introduced Sister and Julio and our Spice Turner, Faye Lynne. Faye Lynne made her entrance wearing a pink sequined evening gown surprising us with a Partying Queen sash over the magnificent breasts her reconstruction surgeon had created. Her beautiful violet eyes sparkled as she smiled and blew kisses. Sister lifted her eyebrow at me when I gave her the glance she read perfectly. Only Faye Lynne would presume royal status on OUR show. During the forty years since that stellar occasion when she had been queen—of the Nutria Festival -- she had not let one conversation go by without mentioning it. The Nutria Festival was right up there with the Rattlesnake Rodeo in my mind. Curt Lindsey, star of Narc on the Run chose her to be his escort. I glimpsed a scar on Faye Lynne’s otherwise bony chest and all of the irritation I felt whenever I saw her faded away. Partying Queen did kind of fit our Faye Lynne. The three of us prepared our traditional celebration supper on autopilot because we got to talking about others who once shared that kitchen with us. Faye Lynne made the most of her spice turning and had the production staff drooling over her cleavage with her practiced poses. We remembered different holidays spent at Waverly with Sister’s and my grandparents. Sister handled roasting the chicken with a bit of conflict with Faye Lynne over the seasoning. Sister requested lemon pepper; Faye Lynne brought Diamond’s Cajun Kicker. “Lemon pepper, Faye Lynne,” Sister said smiling for the camera.“That will make a bland chicken,” Faye Lynne insisted. “It needs a kick.”“Lemon pepper, Faye Lynne, or turn in the sash!” Sister insisted still smiling and whispering between clenched teeth. Faye Lynne sulked her way back to the spice cabinet. But she kept smiling. When Sister opened the refrigerator for butter and celery for to stuff inside the chicken she had to move the Mint juleps she had prepared earlier to celebrate with later. She set the mixture on the counter. I guess Faye Lynne thought she meant for it to be served so she pulled out the chilled silver mint juleps cups. In the style of Vanna White changing letters, she poured the potent mixture into the cups and added mint posing and pointing at the counter behind Sister and me with each step. Sister and I were distracted with what we were doing at the island in the foreground. Both Sister and I had worked up a serious glow (Southern ladies do not sweat) so when Faye Lynne handed us a cup of something so cold there was humidity on the outside of the silver cup both Sister and I drank it down to the last drop. We might as well have mainlined the pure undiluted Mint Julep syrup as nervous and dehydrated as we were. I pulled the wooden corn grater from the drawer and began the task of getting the kernels of corn off the cob. I was suddenly even less coordinated than usual and splattered corn all over the Faye Lynne’s sequined dress and down her cleavage as well as all over the counter and the floor as I ran the corn cutter down the 6 cobs. I thought that was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. And plucked kernels of that precious corn off her chest. I held onto the shifting white marble counter top before heading to the stove. “Like Patsy Dream, I believe in butter,” I said, smiling into the camera as I slammed Grandmother’s well-seasoned black iron pan down on the stove. I opened a stick of real butter and tossed it in. I stirred and unconsciously sang my granddaughter’s favorite song from Frozen to myself while the butter melted to the point of turning dark around the edges.I like every other grandparent in the country had watched the movie and video and granddaughter performance so much the song reverberated in my subconscious. I did not realize I had begun singing it to the top of my voice, lifting my arms and closing my eyes as I used my wooden spoon as a microphone. That’s what I did in my own kitchen when I cooked, though it was usually Abba’s Dancing Queen that inspired my culinary efforts.Let it go, let it go!Can't hold it back any more.Let it go, let it go!Turn away and slam the door.I don't care what they're going to say.I threw my arms wide in an impressive theatrical manner just like Lucie did and gave the last of the song everything I had.Let the storm rage on.The cold never bothered me anyway. I tossed the corn into the pan. “Simmer the corn in the butter, add salt and pepper (I shook some salt on the corn and then got down on my hands and knees to find where the pepper had rolled off to). “Add a fourth to a half a cup of milk.” (With a flourish I sloshed milk into the pan without using a measuring cup as if I were building an ice castle instead of creamed corn). “Then watch your family enjoy the best cream corn ever. Fresh is always best,” I said as if I knew what I was talking about, praying the corn did not burn. I kept smiling and tasting wondering why my nose had gone numb. Why was Faye Lynne gaping at me?I took another sip, leaned on the counter and held the cup to my glowing cheek.Sister had already snapped the pole beans beside me. She teared up chopping onions on her schnauzer shaped wooden cutting board, and took another slug of the cool liquid. She put the glass up to her dewy forehead. Somehow she managed to talk all the while she transferred both to the boiling salt water. Her mascara ran streaking her face like Alice Cooper. She kept smiling and talking. It dawned on us that Cameron our producer was indicating that we go to the dining room to close the show. When we finally sat down at Grandmother’s ten foot mahogany dining table under the sparkling Czechoslovakian chandelier to eat the food we had prepared off Grandmother’s plates with silver just like hers, we were exhausted, but pumped. “I wish Grandmother were here,” I said with tears in my eyes. Sister said, “Me too.” Faye Lynne stepped between us and pulled us both to her bounteous bosoms and she joined us in our maudlin tears. “Me too though I barely knew her.”Someone shoved a box of tissues from the other end of the table. We swiped our tears and sat primly with backs straight and linen napkin properly placed upon our laps just as Dishing it Network stars ought to do which struck me as hilarious for the three of us so I started giggling. We served our plates from the beautifully arranged serving dishes in the middle of the table done masterfully by the set designer. I grinned at Sister and Sister grinned back at me over the centerpiece of herbs and flowers cut fresh from the garden and that struck Faye Lynne as funny. The director kept making motions my way and I finally figured out it was time for me to say the clever words I’d written for the closing of our show. For the life of me I could not remember what I wrote!Then the smoke alarm went off and the small voice of the assistant lighting gaffer left in the kitchen yelled, “Something’s burning!”Sister, Faye Lynne and I looked at each other and said together, “The rolls!” Smoke billowed through the dining room door as the three of us fought our way through to the door. The credits rolled.Julio played the song he’d written for the show as the credits ran. Cameron had streamed the filming of the pilot live to the main offices in New York. The Dishing It Network graded the reaction of their test audience PR gold for the targeted demographic for our show. He was still laughing when he called us and said, “Funniest thing I ever saw!”“But Partying on the Plantation is a serious show,” I said. He just laughed harder.PR gold the network called it. “Who knew the Dishing It Network could do humor?” was the lead of the New York Times culture section when the show aired.I threw my hands up. We were serious about our show. I told them we didn’t do comedy. Bob, the CEO, just smiled and said, “Sign here.” Our people grinned and nodded. I saw lots of zeroes and insurance and I signed. Faye Lynne said serving us Mint Juleps full strength had been an accident. I wondered. She left soon after to return to Estrellita and Hollywood. I still thought she’d tried to kill me when she swapped daiquiris for margaritas with tequila that I’m deathly allergic to at Mardi Gras years ago. Was Faye Lynne attempting to undermine our success?

I stirred and unconsciously sang my granddaughter’s favorite song from Frozen to myself while the butter melted to the point of turning dark around the edges.I like every other grandparent in the country had watched the movie and video and granddaughter performance so much the song reverberated in my subconscious. I did not realize I had begun singing it to the top of my voice, lifting my arms and closing my eyes as I used my wooden spoon as a microphone. That’s what I did in my own kitchen when I cooked, though it was usually Abba’s Dancing Queen that inspired my culinary efforts.Let it go, let it go!Can't hold it back any more.Let it go, let it go!Turn away and slam the door.I don't care what they're going to say.I threw my arms wide in an impressive theatrical manner just like Lucie did and gave the last of the song everything I had.Let the storm rage on.The cold never bothered me anyway. I tossed the corn into the pan. “Simmer the corn in the butter, add salt and pepper (I shook some salt on the corn and then got down on my hands and knees to find where the pepper had rolled off to). “Add a fourth to a half a cup of milk.” (With a flourish I sloshed milk into the pan without using a measuring cup as if I were building an ice castle instead of creamed corn). “Then watch your family enjoy the best cream corn ever. Fresh is always best,” I said as if I knew what I was talking about, praying the corn did not burn. I kept smiling and tasting wondering why my nose had gone numb. Why was Faye Lynne gaping at me?I took another sip, leaned on the counter and held the cup to my glowing cheek.Sister had already snapped the pole beans beside me. She teared up chopping onions on her schnauzer shaped wooden cutting board, and took another slug of the cool liquid. She put the glass up to her dewy forehead. Somehow she managed to talk all the while she transferred both to the boiling salt water. Her mascara ran streaking her face like Alice Cooper. She kept smiling and talking. It dawned on us that Cameron our producer was indicating that we go to the dining room to close the show. When we finally sat down at Grandmother’s ten foot mahogany dining table under the sparkling Czechoslovakian chandelier to eat the food we had prepared off Grandmother’s plates with silver just like hers, we were exhausted, but pumped. “I wish Grandmother were here,” I said with tears in my eyes. Sister said, “Me too.” Faye Lynne stepped between us and pulled us both to her bounteous bosoms and she joined us in our maudlin tears. “Me too though I barely knew her.”Someone shoved a box of tissues from the other end of the table. We swiped our tears and sat primly with backs straight and linen napkin properly placed upon our laps just as Dishing it Network stars ought to do which struck me as hilarious for the three of us so I started giggling. We served our plates from the beautifully arranged serving dishes in the middle of the table done masterfully by the set designer. I grinned at Sister and Sister grinned back at me over the centerpiece of herbs and flowers cut fresh from the garden and that struck Faye Lynne as funny. The director kept making motions my way and I finally figured out it was time for me to say the clever words I’d written for the closing of our show. For the life of me I could not remember what I wrote!Then the smoke alarm went off and the small voice of the assistant lighting gaffer left in the kitchen yelled, “Something’s burning!”Sister, Faye Lynne and I looked at each other and said together, “The rolls!” Smoke billowed through the dining room door as the three of us fought our way through to the door. The credits rolled.Julio played the song he’d written for the show as the credits ran. Cameron had streamed the filming of the pilot live to the main offices in New York. The Dishing It Network graded the reaction of their test audience PR gold for the targeted demographic for our show. He was still laughing when he called us and said, “Funniest thing I ever saw!”“But Partying on the Plantation is a serious show,” I said. He just laughed harder.PR gold the network called it. “Who knew the Dishing It Network could do humor?” was the lead of the New York Times culture section when the show aired.I threw my hands up. We were serious about our show. I told them we didn’t do comedy. Bob, the CEO, just smiled and said, “Sign here.” Our people grinned and nodded. I saw lots of zeroes and insurance and I signed. Faye Lynne said serving us Mint Juleps full strength had been an accident. I wondered. She left soon after to return to Estrellita and Hollywood. I still thought she’d tried to kill me when she swapped daiquiris for margaritas with tequila that I’m deathly allergic to at Mardi Gras years ago. Was Faye Lynne attempting to undermine our success?

Met with Putin? Must be Putin Puppet. Some really are!
When Ms Clinton and Mr Putin met, she thought he was trying to establish dominance and she called it "manspreading".She said he took her into his inner sanctum and showed her a map of the places he was intending to tag polar bears. He asked her to extend an invitation to her husband Bill to come along.When she jokingly offering to go instead, Mr Putin was apparently unimpressed.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-22...

Malachi Martin and Windswept House. M. Scott Peck Glimpses of the Devil. Is Christianity under attack?
The author describes Windswept House as containing "real events and real people masked in the form of a novel", a device he refers to as "faction”. According to Martin, 95% of events in the book are real, and 85% of the characters are real people.
Windswept House: A Vatican Novel is a 1998 novel by Roman Catholic priest and theologian Malachi Martin. The book charts the turmoil within the Catholic faith and within Vatican City.
What is happening now with charges of pedophilia and actual knowledge by the pope is not a new thing. Malachi Martin chronicled what he saw personally during his time at the Vatican
Windswept House describes a satanic ritual - the enthronement of Lucifer - taking place at Saint-Paul's Chapel inside Vatican City, on June 29, 1963. The book gives a depiction of high-ranking churchmen, cardinals, archbishops and prelates of the Roman curia, taking oaths signed with their own blood, plotting to destroy the Church from within. It tells the story of an international organized attempt by these Vatican insiders and secular internationalists to force a pope of the Catholic Church to abdicate, so that a successor may be chosen that will fundamentally change orthodox faith and establish a New World Order.
What we see happening in the Catholic Church is merely a picture of what is happening throughout many denominations of the Christian church. A bishop of the Methodist Church calls Jesus a bigot and attempts to rewrite the Scriptures to HER OWN IMAGE.
Now, it would be one thing if Ms. Olivetti were a lay person. But she isn't. She belongs to a church that has long professed belief in the divinely inspired Word of God, the Bible. Rather than conforming to the professed beliefs of the religion, she has chosen to set herself up as an example to children and to proclaim that Jesus was a bigot, undermining Scripture in the eyes of small children. The focus is no longer on God and His Word, but on this individual inviting adulation for herself and her heroic stand.
Reminds me of Isaiah 30: 2 and 2 Timothy 3: 24
Social Justice has become the new god. Once again man has decided he knows better than God. Yet, I see only more confusion, more unhappiness as God's absolutes become "so yesterday." We, like the man Micah, now have a house of gods, make up our own priestly garb (ephod), create our own objects to worship (telephone? Facebook? celebrity? (teraphim) and appoint one of our own to become our "priest". And then we "do" what is "right" in our "own eyes." We make ourselves god.
In my own hometown, a local Baptist church had a minister having an affair with the Choir Director's wife while the Choir Director sodomized young boys. And yet, to my knowledge, there was no discipline. Those men moved to other churches without a warning.
An aside, my husband asked his Jewish friend "Why do you never hear of that happening at the Temple." His answer, "We don't have a choir." (A lot said in those few words.)
We now have a spiritual picture of what is happening throughout God's Church in both the Protestant and Catholic religions. Outrage is justified at what is being revealed as happening in the Catholic Church today. 
That is why I remembered the book I had read so many years ago, Windswept House, written by Malachi Martin -- and its predictions.
According to The New American, Martin confirmed that the ceremony did indeed occur as he had described. “Oh yes, it is true; very much so,” the magazine reported he said. “But the only way I could put that down into print is in novelistic form.”
Martin's accusation of a satanic ritual at the Vatican was also confirmed by John Loeffler, host of the Steel on Steel radio show. Mr. Loeffler personally asked Fr. Malachi Martin (who had been a regular guest on his show) about the reported dedication to satan within the Vatican:
"You know Malachi confirmed—the first part of his book, Windswept House—he confirmed the dedication of the Vatican to satan in a secret ceremony that occurred unknown even to the Pope at that time, that he managed to pick up. And I did ask him, 'Was this true? Did it happen?' And he [Fr. Martin] said, 'yes, it did.'" - John Loeffler (July 29, 2000 radio show) https://www.tldm.org/news/martin.htm
Okay, I know you don't want to believe this. Religion ought to be kept to Sunday gathering and a very civilized discussion. Everyone sharing how they "feel" about a scripture. Something neither hot nor cold. And certainly nothing to make anyone uncomfortable.
That is until you really encounter evil.
That happened with psychiatrist M. Scott Peck.
The following article written by Steve Skojec is taken directly from the "Voice for the Faithful Catholic Laity. "

MARCH 11, 2010Windswept House? Fr. Amorth says Devil is ‘at work inside Vatican’STEVE SKOJECThe 1998 Malachi Martin novel, Windswept House, opens with a Satanic ritual performed at St. Paul’s chapel inside Vatican City by members at every level of the Catholic clergy. The purpose? To open the door of the Church to the Devil’s influence, and lead to the destruction of Catholicism from within. The premise of the book would have been controversial enough, but Martin’s claim that 95% of the story was based on actual events (and 85% of the characters were based on real people) made it moreso. But is it a preposterous assertion that God’s own priests, bishops and cardinals would participate in the work of destruction? The famous vision of Pope Leo XIII in 1884 would seem to suggest otherwise:
…They recounted that Pope Leo XIII was climbing the steps to the altar when he suddenly stopped, stared fixedly at something in the air and with a terrible look on his face, collapsed to the floor (some accounts say he fell shrieking). The Pope was carried off by those around him to another room where he came around. As one rendition of the story tells it:
“When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices – two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: “I can destroy your Church.”The gentle voice of Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?”Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”
Following this, the Holy Father was so shaken that he sat down and composed the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, which was then instituted as a universal prayer to be said after every low Mass throughout the world.In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
O glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, defend us in battle, and in the struggle which is ours against the principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against spirits of evil in high places (Eph 6:12). Come to the aid of men, whom God created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil (Wisdom 2:23-24, 1 Cor 6:20).
Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there a place for them any longer in Heaven. But that cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with all his angels (Rev 12:7-9).Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of man has taken courage, Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of his Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory.
This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.
These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the Immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions (Lam 3:15).
In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most blessed Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.
Arise then, O invincible prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and bring them the victory.
The Church venerates thee as protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious powers of this world and of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude.
Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.[13] Wikipedia
Some would argue that the suppression of this practice by the Sacred Congregation of
Rites just 80 years later – nicely within the Devil’s timeline – counts as evidence of theeffectiveness of his challenge.
Today, we again hear the alarming assertion that the devil is “in the Vatican,” this time from Fr. Gabriel Amorth, considered the world’s most experienced exorcist. In his recently published memoirs, Fr. Amorth makes claims that seem to have come straight from Martin’s novel. According the The Times (UK):Sex abuse scandals in the Roman Catholic Church are proof that that “the Devil is at work inside the Vatican”, according to the Holy See’s chief exorcist.Father Gabriele Amorth, 85, who has been the Vatican’s chief exorcist for 25 years and says he has dealt with 70,000 cases of demonic possession, said that the consequences of satanic infiltration included power struggles at the Vatican as well as “cardinals who do not believe in Jesus, and bishops who are linked to the Demon”.He added: “When one speaks of ‘the smoke of Satan’ [a phrase coined by Pope Paul VI in 1972] in the holy rooms, it is all true – including these latest stories of violence and paedophilia.”Not everyone thinks Fr. Amorth’s claims are credible. The Times also interviewed Father José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, “a Rome-based exorcist”, who said that Father Amorth had “gone well beyond the evidence” in claiming that Satan had infiltrated the Vatican corridors.“Cardinals might be better or worse, but all have upright intentions and seek the glory of God,” he said. Some Vatican officials were more pious than others, “but from there to affirm that some cardinals are members of satanic sects is an unacceptable distance.”I admit, I question the judgment of an exorcist who looks for empirical evidence of the machinations of the Devil. One of the more profound statements I’ve seen on the Satanic strategy came from Kevin Spacey’s character Verbal in the film, The Usual Suspects. At the end of his description of the workings of the mythical villain Keyser Soze, Verbal concludes: “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. And like that – poof! He’s gone.” As someone who has seen the diabolical up close and personal, I know the truth in this statement. I’ve been present at no fewer than half a dozen deliverances of persons under demonic influence (performed by an authorized diocesan priest) and while I never enjoy speaking about these experiences, they have left a lasting impression upon me. The Devil, cunning as he is, seems to take two approaches in the destruction of souls. The first, and by far most effective and common, is that mentioned above – he conceals his presence, leaving his work undiscovered and unchallenged. The second, more dangerous to his success by far, is the role of terrorist. This latter comes when even his subtlety is noticed and thus rejected by a person of sufficient spiritual intuition, at which point he tries to frighten them into submission through the more dramatic manifestations we’ve all come to associate with the demonic. This approach can be effective – a friend once indicated to me that she never wanted to become “too holy” because she didn’t want to experience the supernatural abuse suffered by so many of the saints. But as men like St. John Vianney proved, even the harshest attacks by Satan could become a source of spiritual consolation, leaving the Devil powerless against someone infused with God’s grace. The problem the Devil faces in showing himself is paradoxical – if he exists, so must the God he works against. This is why he almost always prefers to operate under the cover of darkness.
Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was one of the mystics who
saw with prophetic clarity the infiltration of the Church’s hierarchy by those under Satanic influence. Among her visions were the following predictions, which seem eerily similar to those warnings offered by Fr. Amorth:
Then I saw an apparition of the Mother of God, and she said that the tribulation would be very great…They must pray above all for the Church of Darkness to leave Rome.[snip]I saw deplorable things: they were gambling, drinking, and talking in church; they were courting women. All sorts of abominations were perpetrated there. Priests allowed everything and said Mass with much irreverence. I saw that few of them were still godly, and only a few of them had sound views on things.[snip]Among the strangest things that I saw, were long processions of bishops. Their thoughts and utterances were made known to me through images issuing from their mouths. Their faults towards religion were shown by external deformities. A few had only a body, with a dark cloud of fog instead of a head. Others had only a head, their bodies and hearts were like thick vapors. Some were lame; others were paralytics; others were asleep or staggering.I saw what I believe to be nearly all the bishops of the world, but only a small number were perfectly sound. I also saw the Holy Father– God-fearing and prayerful. Nothing left to be desired in his appearance, but he was weakened by old age and by much suffering…Then I saw that everything that pertained to Protestantism was gradually gaining the upper hand, and the Catholic religion fell into complete decadence. Most priests were lured by the glittering but false knowledge of young school-teachers, and they all contributed to the work of destruction.In those days, Faith will fall very low, and it will be preserved in some places only…It’s difficult for some of us to believe that the Devil – whom we know exists as an article of faith – could be so at work even within the Church itself. And yet we’ve received countless warnings that it would be so, even from Christ himself. His promise is both comforting and frightening:“And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Mt. 16:18)
For Christ to offer such a guarantee means that the “gates of hell” would not only try to prevail against the Church, but would come so close to success as to appear to have done so. That this apparent success would be defeated by His power and the efficacy of the Church is a great consolation to us, but we should not presume it will be easy. We must all remain vigilant, and pray that we will be preserved from the enemy, and that his influence will be defeated – not only in our own lives, but in the Church itself. Thank you, Steve Skojec for this fine article printed originally in Crisis Magazine. https://www.crisismagazine.com/2010/windswept-house-fr-amorth-says-devil-is-at-work-inside-vaticanThe truth is the Church and Christianity is very definitely under attack. When I was a young mother, Bible studies at the First Presbyterian Church helped me immensely as I raised my children. God did have direction on what and how to teach them and raise them. Those dear ladies, Joy Drury and Rachel Sugg, had great Bible teachers in Birmingham at Briarwood Presbyterian Church and they brought that devotion to teaching young mothers with them to Dothan, Alabama. They used studies by Dr. James Dobson founder of Focus on the Family. The Southern Poverty Law Center, in my opinion one of our country's greatest purveyors of "hate," is actually considered by Facebook, and in the past the Army and the FBI as a judge of who and what constitutes a"hate group" in our country. They label the Focus on the Family a hate group.
What I write is not politically correct. But, political correctness will not save a single soul.
And so I ask, "Are we now cowards in the faith?" We dabble with Bible studies, but when Harry Potter takes children into sorcery and spells, do we make a stand? We purchase Ouija Boards and Fortune balls so that our children can dabble a bit. It is just play, isn't it?
I saw this recently about Yoga and found myself wondering the same thing. When guided imagery in the classroom, a part of the Southern Poverty Law Center curriculum on conflict resolution that takes a child to a "happy place," doesn't that New Age technique counter state laws for practices that should be used in a classroom?
When Sex education classes have children visit abortion clinics or study the different types of sexual stimulation, do we protest?
Does life have any value other than as replacement parts for the high bidder? What is the purpose of life? Is there Right and Wrong? How much of your Christianity involves more than sitting in on a Bible study? What does God require of you? Has Social Justice (whatever the whims and vagaries of public opinion dictate) become your God justifying that which is ungodly?
Are we justified by faith in our own selection of a smorgasbord religion? Or are we justified by faith and trust in the guidance of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And what happens to those who live according to their own will and not in obedience to God's will? And to those who lead a child astray? Serve as a poor example?
And to those who know better and allow this to happen? Not my words but ...

WHY BELONG TO THE EAGLE FORUM?TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
You may feel as though you are the only one who believes as you do. You may believe there is NOTHING you can do. But, guess what, there are others out there who look about them and wonder the same thing. But, when you come together, there is strength. First you must be informed.
Look at these speakers. They are informed on the issues that concern Conservatives. Attending this Council meeting is truly a great blessing. Dedicated, knowledgeable people are there for you!
Eagle Council XLVII
September 27-30, 2018 in Washington, D.C.
My husband and I attended last year. (Watch the videos of those speakers.)
You may not be aware of the forces that are against you these days. The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled the Eagle Forum a hate group, just as they did the Family Research Council, the D. James Kennedy Ministry.
I find that incredible. We stand for traditional values not because of hate but out of love. Look around you. Do you see a lot of happiness in this world without absolutes? There are challenges to God's Word everywhere you turn. And it has become institutionalized. Christianity is under attack.
Look at the Sex Education curriculum for Common Core. If you believe in the Right to Life why does your child need to visit an Abortion Clinic as a homework assignment for Common Core? What is multiculturalism really?
If you believe that Math is Math and should be taught as such and want your child freed from "radical Math" which is social justice politics in the classroom, you are promoting hate speech, believe it or not.
What is the Truth about Climate change? While most of us do not challenge the truth that climate is changing, we do challenge the conclusion that it is caused by carbon emissions. Why? Because that conclusion is so advantageous to those who promote it. They are using it to "create a sense of crisis" to promote an agenda that leverages developed countries against developing countries and seeks to penalize those who have achieved a standard of living that others envy and seek to destroy. Equity in the world. As an historian I have seen our climate change many times throughout history.
Climate change has become a political lynchpin for Democrats. Like Education where the mantra is "equity" you must bring one down to bring someone else up, just so is the liberal Climate Change agenda. The consequence would be an unelected world government taxation, operations and enforcement organization.
But, did you know that the American Library Association, the FBI and the Army allowed the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which organizations in America are "hate groups" and high tech companies like Facebook and Google use their "expertise" to determine whose speech to squelch. They also listen to Factcheck, Politifact and Snopes all of which are leftists who admit that their determinations are subjective, meaning based on their own feelings and beliefs.
The point of all of this is that joining an organization like the Eagle Forum gives you an opportunity to make a difference by getting involved: lobbying our representatives on all levels School Board to Congress.
When you have a former Muslim Brotherhood Obama Administration Assistant for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism rooting for more ISIS slaughtering of Christians, it looks to me as if it is time to get our heads out of the sand.
If you are interested in joining us in the Panhandle Eagle Forum, email me at gmail. (sharmanbursonramsey) Obviously it takes a lot of guts to do so.
Do not take practicing your faith for granted. The secular humanism of our schools undermines the faith of your children every day.
I have been accused of "having an agenda." for inviting folks to join the Eagle Forum and help in supporting our traditional values. I think God said it best.
Revelation 3:15-17 New International Version (NIV)15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.

Snopes, Politifact, Fact check, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram: CENSORSHIP OF CONSERVATIVES

One of the lead fact-checkers, Kim LaCapria, has also been a sex-and-fetish blogger who went by the pseudonym 'Vice Vixen.'She described her blog as a lifestyle website 'with a specific focus on naughtiness, sin, carnal pursuits, and general hedonism and bonne vivante-ery.'She regularly provided intimate advice and reviewed sex toys, including a vibrating wand that 'drives boys mad.''If you are doing something to your fella, and you apply this to the base of his cash-and-prizes while you carry on, he will scream and perhaps cry,' she wrote.She also recommended one book with the review: 'How to Tell A Naked Man What To Do seems like the perfect how-to for the dominatrix-in-waiting, or any girl looking to get in touch with her domme side. Mine, I wish I could shut her up sometimes, but there you go.'In others posts, LaCapria claimed to be 'addicted to smutty HP [Harry Potter] fanfic.'Describing her day-off activities on another blog, she wrote that she 'played scrabble, smoked pot, and posted to Snopes.' She added, 'That's what I did on my day "on," too.'David Mikkelson told the Dailymail.com that Snopes does not have a ‘standardized procedure’ for fact-checking ‘since the nature of this material can vary widely.’ He said the process ‘involves multiple stages of editorial oversight, so no output is the result of a single person’s discretion.’He also said the company has no set requirements for fact-checkers because the variety of the work ‘would be difficult to encompass in any single blanket set of standards.’‘Accordingly, our editorial staff is drawn from diverse backgrounds; some of them have degrees and/or professional experience in journalism, and some of them don't,’ he added.

How did we ever come to put so much faith in folks/websites that we know so little about?
Now, I am a wife of 49 years to the same man, the mother of three children and the grandmother of five. And I am a Christian. Obviously, my lifestyle is much different than that of these folks. I just love having those folks "fact-checking" for me. In fact, as the president of the Eagle Forum, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, I am the leader of a "hate group."
Screen shot from their websiteSo who is the Southern Poverty Law Center and why does their opinion matter? Because these are the people who have sold themselves to several public entities as the arbiters of what is hate.
Their purpose as Mark Potoc, a leader of the Southern Poverty Law Center states, "The press will describe us as 'monitoring hate groups'...I want to say plainly that our aim in life is to destroy these groups, to completely destroy them."He sees the goal of the Southern Poverty Law Center as an instrument to destroy groups with ideas different than themselves.
This has very definitely affected the Panhandle Eagle Forum in publicizing the organization as the Panama City News Herald has refused to print an article about the Panhandle Eagle Forum, but it publishes many articles by the liberal Washington Post.
Believe it or not, the FBI partnered at one time with the SPLC in identifying hate groups. They no longer do. The Army used to have them lecture on domestic terrorism. The Army has ended that relationship. Morris Dees founded the SPLC and it has been a real money maker.

What should we know about these people who are censoring Conservatives?

It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime . . . .” — Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, dissenting Ginzberg v. United States, 383 U.S. 463 (1966)“Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions.

The title of the program was “Freedom of Expression Versus Tolerance: Exploring the Limits.”And then they go down to the organizations they use as source materials on hate speech. Notice the Southern Poverty Law Center. And also the Teaching Tolerance magazine published by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a publication a group of Dothan citizens, black and white, viewed when it was to be used for conflict resolution in the early 90s.

This was the conclusion of those individuals presenting the program to the American Library Association:
Apparently, the American Library Association also promotes this agenda. And if you can control the books in a library and the meetings held there you can also control thought.Third paragraph from the bottom of this presentation to the American Library Association by librarians from George Leary and Heidi Lowry, Reference Librarians at Florida International University, North Campus Library for the Intellectual Freedom Round Table program at the 200 ALA Annual Conference. The title of the program was "Freedom of Expression Versus Tolerance: Exploring the limits.
There are three analytical approaches that share a determination to limit hate speech. Critical race theorists hold that hate speech is a primary tool for ensuring dominance over historically persecuted minorities. In an America riven by racism, it is arguable that hate speech is a uniquely pernicious obstacle blocking the progress of economically, socially, and psychologically vulnerable minorities. Some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered advocates hold that hate speech leads directly to hate crime, and serves to keep sex/gender outsiders in a compliant state of silent fear. Some feminists have argued that pornography is nothing more than a form of hate speech that reinforces stereotypes and maintains the subservience of women through images of degradation and dominance. What all these perspectives share in common is the belief that hate speech is so powerful and harmful that the targeted individual is ultimately silenced and unable to respond. (Exactly where Conservatives find themselves these days!)
...This challenges the traditional civil libertarian notion of answering bad speech with good, since hate speech deprives its targets of the very capacity to answer back.
http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=ifissues&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=164250
Somehow this statement has achieved truth status by the power of repeating it often enough that people think it is fact. The first given is that there is such a thing as Hate Speech in a country where the First Amendment grants us all Free Speech. Any speech that does not pander to their agenda becomes HATE SPEECH. Strongly held cultural or religious beliefs become hate speech.
The Southern Poverty Law Center includes Christian groups like the American Family Alliance, Family Research Council, and the Eagle Forum.
If you say it often enough by enough people with power it becomes Truth. Kind of like in Hunger Games where Panem told the other districts that serving up a representative to sacrifice served the greater good. Arguing against that was hate speech and surely deserved serious consequence.
I wrote about what a group of parents found out about the "peace education" produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center. I hope you will read this. I will not repeat it now. But that is just to underline the concerted effort not just to stifle conservative thought and speech but to eliminate it all together. This "curriculum" is begun in Kindergarten.
https://sharmanbursonramsey.blogspot.com/2017/02/conflict-resolution-or-political-and.htmlAnd now, in addition to the Southern Poverty Law Center, we find out that these tech entities rely upon Politifact, Snopes, and Fact Check. Their "opinion" can ban you on Twitter or have your post eliminated on Facebook. "The new professional "fact-checking" class is, at its best, doing good, regular journalism under the pseudo-scienfic banner, complete with made-up measurements.
At their worst, they're doing opinion journalism under pseudo-scientific banners, something that's really corrosive to actual journalism, which if it's any good is about reported fact in the first place."
They admit their "authority."
"But yeah, we're human. We're making subjective decisions. Lord knows the decision about a Truth-O-Meter rating is entirely subjective. As Angie Holan, the editor of PolitiFact, often says, the Truth-O-Meter is not a scientific instrument.
Both of the nation's most prominent fact-checking organizations - FactCheck.org and PolitiFact--tilt to the political left, which makes them representative of the majority of journalists who also lean to port. Both of these groups go far beyond what they say they do, claiming to fact-check subjective things like political rhetoric that are not susceptible to fact-checking.
When the definition of what is truth is determined by a porn star at Snopes, or liberal hacks at Politifact and Fact Check, where does that put Conservatives?
Now, how do these people maintain their control?
You control information. You control thought. This movement challenges the very core of our American Constitutional Republic.

EYES WIDE SHUT. Human Abedin. John Brennan. Mueller and the FBI and the Muslim Brotherhood?
February 8 (2012) ROBERT MUELLER redefined jihad and recalled and withdrew "any presentation or curricula on Islam throughout the entire FBI."
I am a writer, an historian. I look at chronology to plot a novel. It is like a jigsaw puzzle. Fascinating details that come together in a possible plot for a thriller.
1994-1995 JOHN BRENNAN BEGAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CLINTONSHe was a daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton
It is truly interesting that the Secretary of State under Obama, Hillary Clinton, had as her personal aide Huma Abedin who in 1999 published a book, edited by her mother, that justifies the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation under Islamic law, while claiming “man-made laws have in fact enslaved women.”
1994-1995 John Brennan was a daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton1996 In 1996, John Brennan was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when the Khobar Towers bombing killed 19 U.S. servicemen.5. In 1996 Huma Abedin became an intern for Hillary Clinton. (Bill Clinton was President from 1993 to January, 2001.)6. Abedin also worked at her family's business, a journal called the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.This Journal is owned by the Muslim World League, Saudi Arabia's organization that promotes Wahhabi Islam around the world. They even share an office at 46 Goodge S., London--Saleha Abedin, Huma's mother and Hassan Habedin, Huma's brother, currently work there.7. Abdullah Omar Naseef, a high ranking leader in the Muslim World League and the Saudi Kingdom council, funded the creation of Huma's family business. He also funded Al Quada, along with other Saudi Arabia officials, for many years. His organization was declared guilty of funding terrorism by the USA State Department.
Who in the CIA granted Human Abedin security clearance? HUMA was on the executive board of the Muslim Student Association.
Notice that Human was a member of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) Executive Board.

Get that? "Yet even the "extremely narrow" search that was finally conducted, after more than a month of delay, uncovered more classified material sent and or received by Clinton through her unauthorized basement server, the official said. Contradicting Comeys testimony, this included highly sensitive information dealing with Israel and the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas.
I wonder how many American lives that cost us.

Saudi relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood which has always been close, even according to Kessler’s own paper, the Washington Post, which explored this issue in detail in 2014. While it is true that in 2014 the Kingdom declared the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization, the GMBDW has also extensively reported that the designation does not appear to have included important leaders of the wider Global Muslim Brotherhood and that under the new King, the relationship between the Kingdom and the Muslim Brotherhood may be “normalizing” again.The next part of Kessler’s attempted rebuttal is his examination of the ties between the Abedin family and Saudi Islamist leader Abdullah Omar Naseef, best known as Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL) from 1983-1993. … the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs founded by Syed Z. Abedin, Huma’s father, and has been described as having had “the quiet but active support” of Naseef, then General Secretary of the MWL, established in 1962 as a means for the propagation of Saudi “Wahabbi” Islam. Muslim Brothers played an important role in its founding and, to date, the League has been strongly associated with the Brotherhood. As we have also noted, US government officials have testified that the MWL has been linked to supporting Islamic terrorist organizations globally and the organization has a long history of anti-Semitism. While Kessler acknowledges the role that Nassef played with respect to the Pakistani charity called the Rabita Trust, designated as a terrorist entity shortly after 911, he writes “that distant connection, a quarter-century later, is now used to tar Abedin” clearly suggesting that the Abedin family ties to the MWL are ancient history. However, as reported by the GMBDW, the Abedin family ties to Naseef have continued into far more recent times. https://www.globalmbwatch.com/2016/08/25/who-will-fact-check-the-washington-post-latest-attempt-on-huma-abedin-fails-miserably/
I am sure most of you were more aware of what was happening. But, though I voted for President Obama twice, I do not recall the media bringing the public attention to the fact that so many Muslim Brotherhood members were given positions with great access to the intelligence agencies in our country. Or was I so blinded by Obama's charm and smile and his rhetoric that I was oblivious as to what was going on?
Please notice here that Mohammed Elibiary was Assistant to President Barack Obama for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
Elibiary was Obama's advisor to HOMELAND SECURITY? AND HE ROOTS FOR ISIS SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS?
Please notice that Elibiary became Assistant to President Barack Obama for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism in 2010.
Then, February 8 (2012) Mueller redefined jihad and recalled and withdrew "any presentation or curricula on Islam throughout the entire FBI."

Do we all have our eyes wide shut?
The Arab and the Camel or Be careful who/what you invite into your tent
Hamid was travelling to a faraway village in the middle of a desert. He only had his camel for company. As night fell, Hamid quickly put up a tent. While it was very hot during daytime, the desert would get extremely cold at night. Hamid crawled into the tent, spread a mat and lay down on it. Soon it was dark, and the Arab found his eyes drooping.
Someone outside called out to him, “Friend, it’s cold out here. Can you please take me into your tent?” It was the camel, who was shivering in the cold.“I’m sorry, Mr. Camel. This tent is so small and you are so huge,” said Hamid. “There’s no place for the two of us here in this tent.”“I understand. I will only put my head inside the tent,” pleaded the camel.Hamid agreed. The camel put its head inside the tent and said, “Thank you.”“Goodnight, friend,” said Hamid as he closed his eyes.“My friend, it’s getting colder,” said the camel. “Let me bring my neck, just my neck, into the tent,” pleaded the camel.“Alright, friend,” mumbled Hamid, as he was feeling very sleepy.“Friend, it’s cold out here. Can you please take me into your tent?” It was the camel, who was shivering in the cold.
So, the camel put his neck into the tent, with the rest of its body outside.
A few minutes later the camel spoke with its voice trembling with cold. “Friend, you know how delicate my hump is. I think there’s enough space here for my hump.”Hamid did not want to speak lest he woke up, “Hmm,” he grunted.Taking it as his consent, the camel pushed himself into the tent by an inch and the hump was inside.Sometime later, the camel said, “My friend…” There was no reply from Hamid, who was in deep sleep.“Why disturb the good fellow,” said the camel to himself, “Surely, he won’t have any objection if I drag my tummy into the tent.”When the day broke, Hamid woke up with a start. He was shivering with cold, out in the open. The camel was snoring away inside the tent. Its head, neck, hump and the whole body inside. Only its tail was hanging outside the tent.

IS A US ARAB SPRING BRENNAN'S GOAL?
CIA chief John Brennan is furious with Flynn for planning to rip up the Obama-era "reset with Muslim countries and targets."
February 10, 2013
One of the FBI’s former top experts on Islam has announced that President Obama’s pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, converted to Islam years ago in Saudi Arabia.Read more at https://www.wnd.com/2013/02/shock-claim-obama-picks-muslim-for-cia-chief/#Xk0GaxLeOX6YW0RJ.99
When asked by WND’s Tom Trento if Guandolo was sure Brennan is a Muslim, Guandolo responded, “Yes I am. The facts of the matter are confirmed by U.S. government officials who were also in Saudi Arabia at the time that John Brennan was serving there and have direct knowledge. These are men who work in very trusted positions, they were direct witnesses to his growing relationship with the individuals who worked for the Saudi government and others and they witnessed his conversion to Islam.”
Guandolo went on to assert several things with regard to Brennan. His life was interwoven with individuals that were labeled as terrorists. This occurred both in his private and professional life. He has spoken positively of Islam and at times, jihad. He has even blamed jihad on “injustices, economics and ignorance,” but never mentioning that it is the result of Islamic teachings.

She was also an editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.
Who in the CIA granted Human Abedin security clearance?
1996As Deputy Director for the CIA, in 1996, Tenet had worked to install one of his closest friends and confidants, John Brennan, as CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.Brennan is now the DCI but, in his previous role, Brennan often communicated directly with Tenet, avoiding the usual chain of command. At the time, as an apparent favor to the Saudis, CIA analysts were discouraged from questioning Saudi links to Arab extremists.
Evidence suggests that covert U.S. support for a “CIA within a CIA” existed twenty years later, when Tenet began leading the CIA, and that terrorist operations were among those that were funded. That possibility underscores the failure of George Tenet’s leadership of the CIA as the Agency failed miserably to detect and prevent al Qaeda terrorism. This failure might make more sense in light of British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook’s claim that al Qaeda was not originally a terrorist group but a database of operatives used by the CIA. In any case, it was almost as if Tenet wanted al Qaeda to not only remain viable, but to be seen as an ever-looming threat.For example, in February 1998, Al Qaeda made public its second fatwah, repeating its declaration of holy war against the United States and its allies. It included the signatures of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, head of the Jihad Group in Egypt. What did George Tenet’s CIA do in response?§ According to CIA officer Michael Scheuer, “The Agency’s Bin Laden unit was ordered disbanded” in April 1998. Although Tenet rescinded the order later, Scheuer commented that “the on-again, off-again signals about the unit’s future status made for confusion, distraction, and much job-hunting in the last few weeks” before the embassy attacks.§ In May 1998, Tenet traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. Tenet and Abdullah made a secret agreement that Bin Laden, if captured, would not be given to the U.S. for trial but instead given to the Saudis. Recommending that the Saudis bribe the Taliban to turn Bin Laden over, Tenet canceled the CIA’s own operation to get Bin Laden.§ Michael Scheuer claimed that, between May 1998 and May 1999, U.S. leaders passed up ten opportunities to capture Bin Laden. According to Scheuer, it was George Tenet and his deputies who rejected the proposals. Apparently two declarations of holy war by al Qaeda were not enough to compel George Tenet to increase his agency’s focus on Bin Laden. Not only that, Tenet seemed to intentionally back off pursuing Bin laden in 1998 and 1999, obstructing U.S. attempts to capture al Qaeda’s leader.
August 7, 1998
The result was the August 7, 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. The date of the bombings marked the eighth anniversary of the arrival of American forces in Saudi Arabia. Just months before the bombings, the CIA had been warned by the Kenyan Intelligence Service that the embassy in Nairobi was going to be attacked by al Qaeda. But the CIA ignored the warning. Not only that, but the embassy bombings were “carried out by a cell that U.S. agents had already uncovered.”
Late that year, in a memo to the CIA, George Tenet declared war against al Qaeda. He wrote that “Our work to date has been remarkable and in some cases heroic” but “we must now redouble our efforts against Bin Ladin himself, his infrastructure, followers, finances, etc with a sense of enormous urgency.” He said, “We are at war…. I want no resources or people spared… either inside CIA or the [U.S. intelligence] community.”
Although meetings were held, Tenet did not attend them and his deputy went only once. The meetings were attended by few if any officers from other agencies and quickly stopped addressing the fight against al Qaeda. No other plan was made at the CIA or elsewhere in the U.S. intelligence community, as a result of this declaration of war by Tenet, to defeat al Qaeda.Despite the attempts by Tenet and others to hype the threat from Bin Laden and his alleged network, as of August 1999 not even The Washington Post appeared to be convinced of the threat. Reporters Colum Lynch and Vernon Loeb at the Post questioned the emerging legend of al Qaeda by writing, “for all its claims about a worldwide conspiracy to murder Americans, the government’s case is, at present, largely circumstantial. The indictment never explains how bin Laden runs al Qaeda or how he may have masterminded the embassy bombings.”
Behind the scenes, Tenet’s lack of action suggested that he was also unconcerned. An example was given in March 1999 when German intelligence provided to the CIA the mobile phone number and first name of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers—Marwan Al-Shehhi. The CIA did nothing with the information. Although Tenet later dismissed its importance, others said that the number could have been easily traced, leading to the capture of Al-Shehhi.
Additionally, the CIA appeared “to have been investigating the man who recruited the [alleged 9/11] hijackers at the time he was recruiting them.” Although there is no evidence that the CIA took actions to stop the plot as it was unfolding, there were many interesting leads to follow. For example, in the
summer of 1999 Bin Laden was reportedly given $50 million by a group of oil-rich sheikhs.
The New York Times reported on this gift which came via a single bank transfer: “The Central Intelligence Agency has obtained evidence that Mr. Bin Laden has been allowed to funnel money through the Dubai Islamic Bank in Dubai, which the United Arab Emirates Government effectively controls.” (https://digwithin.net/2014/07/27/geor...
March 2001 John Brennan returns to the US
September 11, 2001 The attack on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93 2003-2004 Brennan was director of the newly created Terrorist Threat Integration Center an office that sifted through and compiled information for President Bush's daily top secret intelligence briefings and employed the services of analysts from a dozen U.S. agencies and entities.Pushed the Weapons of Mass Destruction lie Brennan was a pretty poor CIA station chief if he could not provide better information toward stopping the 9/11 tragedy. Then he promoted the Weapons of Mass Destruction lie at a cost of $6 trillion dollars 190,00 American lives, 100,000 Iraqi lives and 5 million Iraqi orphans. 2004-2005 Brennan's director of the National Counterterrorism Center which incorporated information on terrorist activities across U.S. agencies.
2005 Brennan left CIA as chief of staff under Director George Tenet following a “Christmas blunder” and became CEO of the British-owned The Analysis Corporation (TAC) Brennan was not questioned at all about the conflict of interest or ethical issues raised by the revolving door that he benefited from when he left CIA as Deputy Executive Director in 2005 and joined a British-owned company called The Analysis Corporation(TAC) where he was named CEO. The CIA and other federal agencies awarded TAC contracts to develop biometrics and set up systems to manage the government’s various watch listsbefore rejoining the government with a full bank account to help him along his way. The Analysis Corporation (TAC) was the Intelligence Solutions business of Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc. (“GTEC”), now renamed Sotera Defense Solutions, a defense contracting company.2006 a northern Virginia firm, Stanley, Inc., was awarded a $164 million contract to print new U.S. passports. In 2008, an employee of The Analysis Corporation, along with two employees from Stanley, Inc. breached the US Passport Office and “improperly accessed” the passport record of Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Sidney McCain, III.Amonth later an employee of the State Department shared the passport information with a man who has been identified as Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr. Harris had been working with federal investigators with regards to the passport information that had been accessed earlier and he had obtained via a co-conspirator in the State Department.Harris was later found shot to death inside a blue car in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church.The Analysis Corporation was highly regarded for its abilities to sift through massive computer databases for information. 2007 Several former employees say Global Strategies Group had opened an office in Beijing in an effort to win security contracts from Chinese state-owned corporations. January 20, 2009-March 2013 - John Brennan was Assistant to President Barack Obama for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
Oct. 2010 Brennan was replaced by by Mohamed Elibiary, a fan of Ayatollah Khomeini, Hamas, Sayyid Qutb, and CAIR, who was given access by the Obama admin. to intel info. then allegedly leaked some of it to the press for political gain.

"The hearts and minds of our enemy are more valuable to our government than my son's blood," she said. "We have an ideology problem with this war, and we need to address it."
CIA Chief John Brennan protected Osama bin Laden in Saudi Arabia before the greatest terror attack in America occurred on September 11, 2001 just six months after John Brennan returned from being station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Khobar Towers attacked too after he was assigned to Riyadh.

March 11, 2014 – Sen. Dianne Feinstein of the Senate Intelligence Committee claims the CIA secretly monitored the computers of congressional staffers while they were conducting an internal review of the spy agency's detention program. Feinstein says Brennan told her that the CIA had looked at the computers due to concerns that staffers may have obtained documents they were not authorized to see. Brennan responds that Feinstein's statement is false. "As far as the allegations of CIA hacking into Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth," Brennan says. July 31, 2014 – Brennan apologizes to the Senate Intelligence Committee, acknowledging that the CIA did, in fact, look at their computers.
2015 Iran Deal
I am sure this deal made Valerie Jarrett very happy. She served as the senior advisor to President of the United States Barack Obama and assistant to the president for public engagement and intergovernmental affairs from 2009 to 2017. Before that, she served as a co-chair of the Obama–Biden Transition Project
March 11, 2016 Wikileaks reveals “Marble” Proof CIA disguises their hacks as Russian, Chinese, Arabic…
March 14 2016 – Brennan travels to Moscow
March 19 2016– John Podesta’s emails were hacked after Podesta clicked a link from a phishing scam.
May/June 2016 – Brennan creates a task force to investigate Russian Interference including Peter Strzok.
While Brennan claimed 17 agencies were involved in reaching the assessment that Russia hacked the DNC computers (not available to them to review since CrowdStrike was the only agency with access to the computers, in truth, only three agencies, the FBI (James Comey), the CIA (John Brennan) and the National Security Agency (James Clapper) with the help of Peter Strzok came to that conclusion. After Hillary Clinton announced the fact that 17 agencies agreed, the AP had to retract their April 6, June 2, June 26 and June 29 assertions.
2017 Obama plot to 'destroy Trump' over Russia. Valerie Jarrett was behind the plot to "unmask."
February 2, 2018 Brennan signs on with NBC/MSNBC (with George Soros as an investor) as senior national security and intelligence analyst still having Security Clearance with CIA
August 13, 2018 Giuliani on Brennan, "He has played a much bigger role in this than a lot of the media wants to admit," Giuliani said of Strzok. "First of all, he was there at the very beginning. 1. Brennan wrote all the initial documents justifying this investigation. 2. Brennan ran it for 11 months. 3. Brennan conducted the critical interview with Flynn with a very strange situation where Flynn pled guilty to a lie that the FBI said he didn’t -- he wasn't guilty of, go figure that out. "4.Brennan carried the Clinton bought and paid for fake dossier to the press.5. used the dossier to justify the FISA wires.

Why? Manafort jury intimidation.
The Guardian, April 19, 2017
A supporter of the American Communist Party at the height of the Cold War, Brennan brought into the CIA a raft of subversives and gave them plum positions from which to gather and leak political espionage on Trump. He bastardized standards so that these left-wing activists could burrow in and take career positions. Under the patina of that phony professionalism, they could then present their politicized judgments as “non-partisan.”
PERHAPS THOSE INTELLIGENCE BOSSES WERE THE PLANTS BRENNAN POSITIONED IN HIS RISE TO POWER.
CIA chief John Brennan is furious with Flynn for planning to rip up the Obama-era "reset with Muslim countries and targets."
February 10, 2013
One of the FBI’s former top experts on Islam has announced that President Obama’s pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, converted to Islam years ago in Saudi Arabia.Read more at https://www.wnd.com/2013/02/shock-claim-obama-picks-muslim-for-cia-chief/#Xk0GaxLeOX6YW0RJ.99
When asked by WND’s Tom Trento if Guandolo was sure Brennan is a Muslim, Guandolo responded, “Yes I am. The facts of the matter are confirmed by U.S. government officials who were also in Saudi Arabia at the time that John Brennan was serving there and have direct knowledge. These are men who work in very trusted positions, they were direct witnesses to his growing relationship with the individuals who worked for the Saudi government and others and they witnessed his conversion to Islam.”
Guandolo went on to assert several things with regard to Brennan. His life was interwoven with individuals that were labeled as terrorists. This occurred both in his private and professional life. He has spoken positively of Islam and at times, jihad. He has even blamed jihad on “injustices, economics and ignorance,” but never mentioning that it is the result of Islamic teachings.
1976 Brennan voted for Gus Hall (Communist Party) for President
1980 Brennan applied to the CIA and was hired
1994-1995 BRENNAN BEGAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CLINTONSHe was a daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton
1994 Clinton Administration turned control over the internet backbone to the private sector.
1996 Huma Abedin became an intern for Hillary Clinton. How did she come to Hillary's attention? Notice that Human was a member of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) Executive Board.
She was also an editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.
Who in the CIA granted Human Abedin security clearance?
1996As Deputy Director for the CIA, in 1996, Tenet had worked to install one of his closest friends and confidants, John Brennan, as CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.Brennan is now the DCI but, in his previous role, Brennan often communicated directly with Tenet, avoiding the usual chain of command. At the time, as an apparent favor to the Saudis, CIA analysts were discouraged from questioning Saudi links to Arab extremists.
Evidence suggests that covert U.S. support for a “CIA within a CIA” existed twenty years later, when Tenet began leading the CIA, and that terrorist operations were among those that were funded. That possibility underscores the failure of George Tenet’s leadership of the CIA as the Agency failed miserably to detect and prevent al Qaeda terrorism. This failure might make more sense in light of British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook’s claim that al Qaeda was not originally a terrorist group but a database of operatives used by the CIA. In any case, it was almost as if Tenet wanted al Qaeda to not only remain viable, but to be seen as an ever-looming threat.For example, in February 1998, Al Qaeda made public its second fatwah, repeating its declaration of holy war against the United States and its allies. It included the signatures of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, head of the Jihad Group in Egypt. What did George Tenet’s CIA do in response?§ According to CIA officer Michael Scheuer, “The Agency’s Bin Laden unit was ordered disbanded” in April 1998. Although Tenet rescinded the order later, Scheuer commented that “the on-again, off-again signals about the unit’s future status made for confusion, distraction, and much job-hunting in the last few weeks” before the embassy attacks.§ In May 1998, Tenet traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. Tenet and Abdullah made a secret agreement that Bin Laden, if captured, would not be given to the U.S. for trial but instead given to the Saudis. Recommending that the Saudis bribe the Taliban to turn Bin Laden over, Tenet canceled the CIA’s own operation to get Bin Laden.§ Michael Scheuer claimed that, between May 1998 and May 1999, U.S. leaders passed up ten opportunities to capture Bin Laden. According to Scheuer, it was George Tenet and his deputies who rejected the proposals. Apparently two declarations of holy war by al Qaeda were not enough to compel George Tenet to increase his agency’s focus on Bin Laden. Not only that, Tenet seemed to intentionally back off pursuing Bin laden in 1998 and 1999, obstructing U.S. attempts to capture al Qaeda’s leader.
August 7, 1998
The result was the August 7, 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. The date of the bombings marked the eighth anniversary of the arrival of American forces in Saudi Arabia. Just months before the bombings, the CIA had been warned by the Kenyan Intelligence Service that the embassy in Nairobi was going to be attacked by al Qaeda. But the CIA ignored the warning. Not only that, but the embassy bombings were “carried out by a cell that U.S. agents had already uncovered.”
Late that year, in a memo to the CIA, George Tenet declared war against al Qaeda. He wrote that “Our work to date has been remarkable and in some cases heroic” but “we must now redouble our efforts against Bin Ladin himself, his infrastructure, followers, finances, etc with a sense of enormous urgency.” He said, “We are at war…. I want no resources or people spared… either inside CIA or the [U.S. intelligence] community.”
Although meetings were held, Tenet did not attend them and his deputy went only once. The meetings were attended by few if any officers from other agencies and quickly stopped addressing the fight against al Qaeda. No other plan was made at the CIA or elsewhere in the U.S. intelligence community, as a result of this declaration of war by Tenet, to defeat al Qaeda.Despite the attempts by Tenet and others to hype the threat from Bin Laden and his alleged network, as of August 1999 not even The Washington Post appeared to be convinced of the threat. Reporters Colum Lynch and Vernon Loeb at the Post questioned the emerging legend of al Qaeda by writing, “for all its claims about a worldwide conspiracy to murder Americans, the government’s case is, at present, largely circumstantial. The indictment never explains how bin Laden runs al Qaeda or how he may have masterminded the embassy bombings.”
Behind the scenes, Tenet’s lack of action suggested that he was also unconcerned. An example was given in March 1999 when German intelligence provided to the CIA the mobile phone number and first name of one of the alleged 9/11 hijackers—Marwan Al-Shehhi. The CIA did nothing with the information. Although Tenet later dismissed its importance, others said that the number could have been easily traced, leading to the capture of Al-Shehhi.
Additionally, the CIA appeared “to have been investigating the man who recruited the [alleged 9/11] hijackers at the time he was recruiting them.” Although there is no evidence that the CIA took actions to stop the plot as it was unfolding, there were many interesting leads to follow. For example, in the
summer of 1999 Bin Laden was reportedly given $50 million by a group of oil-rich sheikhs.
The New York Times reported on this gift which came via a single bank transfer: “The Central Intelligence Agency has obtained evidence that Mr. Bin Laden has been allowed to funnel money through the Dubai Islamic Bank in Dubai, which the United Arab Emirates Government effectively controls.” (https://digwithin.net/2014/07/27/geor...
March 2001 John Brennan returns to the US
September 11, 2001 The attack on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93 2003-2004 Brennan was director of the newly created Terrorist Threat Integration Center an office that sifted through and compiled information for President Bush's daily top secret intelligence briefings and employed the services of analysts from a dozen U.S. agencies and entities.Pushed the Weapons of Mass Destruction lie Brennan was a pretty poor CIA station chief if he could not provide better information toward stopping the 9/11 tragedy. Then he promoted the Weapons of Mass Destruction lie at a cost of $6 trillion dollars 190,00 American lives, 100,000 Iraqi lives and 5 million Iraqi orphans. 2004-2005 Brennan's director of the National Counterterrorism Center which incorporated information on terrorist activities across U.S. agencies.
2005 Brennan left CIA as chief of staff under Director George Tenet following a “Christmas blunder” and became CEO of the British-owned The Analysis Corporation (TAC) Brennan was not questioned at all about the conflict of interest or ethical issues raised by the revolving door that he benefited from when he left CIA as Deputy Executive Director in 2005 and joined a British-owned company called The Analysis Corporation(TAC) where he was named CEO. The CIA and other federal agencies awarded TAC contracts to develop biometrics and set up systems to manage the government’s various watch listsbefore rejoining the government with a full bank account to help him along his way. The Analysis Corporation (TAC) was the Intelligence Solutions business of Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc. (“GTEC”), now renamed Sotera Defense Solutions, a defense contracting company.2006 a northern Virginia firm, Stanley, Inc., was awarded a $164 million contract to print new U.S. passports. In 2008, an employee of The Analysis Corporation, along with two employees from Stanley, Inc. breached the US Passport Office and “improperly accessed” the passport record of Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Sidney McCain, III.Amonth later an employee of the State Department shared the passport information with a man who has been identified as Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr. Harris had been working with federal investigators with regards to the passport information that had been accessed earlier and he had obtained via a co-conspirator in the State Department.Harris was later found shot to death inside a blue car in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church.The Analysis Corporation was highly regarded for its abilities to sift through massive computer databases for information. 2007 Several former employees say Global Strategies Group had opened an office in Beijing in an effort to win security contracts from Chinese state-owned corporations. January 20, 2009-March 2013 - John Brennan was Assistant to President Barack Obama for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
Oct. 2010 Brennan was replaced by by Mohamed Elibiary, a fan of Ayatollah Khomeini, Hamas, Sayyid Qutb, and CAIR, who was given access by the Obama admin. to intel info. then allegedly leaked some of it to the press for political gain.
Who granted them Security Clearance?
2012 BENGHAZI Brennan prepared false talking points that Petraus said “they knew from the beginning the attack was pre-planned by an al Qaeda-linked group
August 6, 2011 Officer 1st Class Aaron Vaughn was one of the SEAL Team 6 operators who died in the crash. His father Billy Vaughn recounted Thursday a phone call from his son following the White House decision to credit the highly secretive military unit for the bin Laden raid.
"He said, 'Mom, there's chatter. My life is in danger. Your life is in danger. Get everything off your social media. Our families are in danger,' " Vaughn recalled.
"The hearts and minds of our enemy are more valuable to our government than my son's blood," she said. "We have an ideology problem with this war, and we need to address it."

Jihad? Human Abedin / Muslim Brotherhood?
I am a writer, an historian. I look at chronology to plot a novel. It is like a jigsaw puzzle. Fascinating details that come together in a possible plot for a thriller.

1994 Clinton Administration turned control over the internet backbone to the private sector.

"How the CIA Helped The Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrate the West", English Review, Jerry Gordon.We might want to pay attention here to see if we see any of this happening in our country. Forewarned is forearmed.
METHODS OF MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD JIHAD
Saudi Arabia is very much involved with the Muslim Brotherhood and Wahabbi Islam. Huma Abedib had to pass a security check. Was Joh Brennan involved?
Saudi relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood which has always been close, even according to Kessler’s own paper, the Washington Post, which explored this issue in detail in 2014. While it is true that in 2014 the Kingdom declared the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist organization, the GMBDW has also extensively reported that the designation does not appear to have included important leaders of the wider Global Muslim Brotherhood and that under the new King, the relationship between the Kingdom and the Muslim Brotherhood may be “normalizing” again.
The next part of Kessler’s attempted rebuttal is his examination of the ties between the Abedin family and Saudi Islamist leader Abdullah Omar Naseef, best known as Secretary-General of the Muslim World League (MWL) from 1983-1993. … the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs founded by Syed Z. Abedin, Huma’s father, and has been described as having had “the quiet but active support” of Naseef, then General Secretary of the MWL, established in 1962 as a means for the propagation of Saudi “Wahabbi” Islam. Muslim Brothers played an important role in its founding and, to date, the League has been strongly associated with the Brotherhood. As we have also noted, US government officials have testified that the MWL has been linked to supporting Islamic terrorist organizations globally and the organization has a long history of anti-Semitism. While Kessler acknowledges the role that Nassef played with respect to the Pakistani charity called the Rabita Trust, designated as a terrorist entity shortly after 911, he writes “that distant connection, a quarter-century later, is now used to tar Abedin” clearly suggesting that the Abedin family ties to the MWL are ancient history. However, as reported by the GMBDW, the Abedin family ties to Naseef have continued into far more recent times. https://www.globalmbwatch.com/2016/08/25/who-will-fact-check-the-washington-post-latest-attempt-on-huma-abedin-fails-miserably/
