....they also knew some of the men involved in the attack. (see below) Also, the movie maker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, may not be a Coptic Christian as has been reported, he may actually have terrorist ties. (also see below)
DAILY BEAST – Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers. Three separate U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast said the early information was enough to show that the attack was planned and the work of al Qaeda affiliates operating in Eastern Libya.
Nonetheless, it took until late last week for the White House and the administration to formally acknowledge that the Benghazi assault was a terrorist attack. On Sunday, Obama adviser Robert Gibbs explained the evolving narrative as a function of new information coming in quickly on the attacks. “We learned more information every single day about what happened,” Gibbs said on Fox News. “Nobody wants to get to the bottom of this faster than we do.”
The intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast did so anonymously because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press. They said U.S. intelligence agencies developed leads on four of the participants of the attacks within 24 hours of the fire fight that took place mainly at an annex near the Benghazi consulate. For one of those individuals, the U.S. agencies were able to find his location after his use of social media. “We had two kinds of intelligence on one guy,” this official said. “We believe we had enough to target him.”
Another U.S. intelligence official said, “There was very good information on this in the first 24 hours. These guys have a return address. There are camps of people and a wide variety of things we could do.”
A spokesman for the National Security Council declined to comment for the story. But another U.S. intelligence official said, “I can’t get into specific numbers but soon after the attack we had a pretty good bead on some individuals involved in the attack.”
It’s unclear whether any of these suspected attackers have been targeted or arrested, and intelligence experts caution that these are still early days in a complex investigation. (hat tip the Right Scoop)
Dr. Rusty Shackleford calls it a 'hit job' and "One way of dealing with it is to say that Obama lied and caused others to lie, because a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 would be politically damning."
... I suspected from the git go that this wasn't a mob that went bad, that it was the work of al Qaeda. I also suspected from day one that the three "private contractors" weren't there on a security detail, that they in Benghazi doing intelligence work.
This was a hit job. An al Qaeda assassination. And it was done on the anniversary of 9/11. [snip]
Benghazi, as the world is now learning, is the headquarters of Libya's
al Qaeda affiliate where the group operated openly until at least last
week. We needed to know what the group was up to, especially given the
large numbers of arms that have gone missing in the now defunct Libyan
army. [snip]
...the Benghazi episode does suggest that (Dinesh) D'Souza had it fundamentally
right. That at least when it comes to foreign policy, Obama sees the US
as the bad guy and the developing world as a victim of American
neo-colonialism. [snip]
One way of dealing with it is to say that Obama lied and caused others to lie, because a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 would be politically damning.
But isn't another way of explaining the disconnect between the facts as they began to unfold and the administration's position that Obama wanted to believe that the movie was to blame?
We all do this. We don't want to admit that we are wrong because admitting that we are wrong goes against our world view. So we reject the facts because they do not fit our preconceived notions of the world.
In this case, that America is to blame.
So maybe Obama's only lie here is the one he tells to himself. That when Americans are attacked, that it is only the chickens coming home to roost.
As George Costanza taught us: it's not a lie if you believe it.
Via Walid Shoebat:
Court documents reveal that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, producer of the
movie Innocence of Muslims, partnered in a scheme with Eiad Salameh, my
first cousin, a Palestinian Muslim from Beit Sahour in the Palestinian
district of Bethlehem. [snip]
... why would Nakoula, who claims to be a religious Coptic activist, have extensive connections with Eiad? My cousin hated Copts with a passion and is well-known in the Middle East as a master schemer, probably one of the best the Middle East has produced. He also has multiple contacts with terror networks.Eiad is from Beit Sahour, Bethlehem. He is a dubious individual who was well known in the Arab community as the main contact for obtaining authentic, legitimate identifications from passports to credit cards, under many nationalities. He then places these identifications into the hands of dubious characters whose names are not the names written on the passports.
Eiad is a Muslim terror supporter and is not an Egyptian Copt. Both my cousin Eiad and whoever this man is who pretends to be Nakoula, had multiple, fraudulent identifications and the two connected for a decade in multiple scheming operations—the type that usually links to terrorism.
The Daily Beast reported regarding Nakoula’s bust:
The bust came around the time the feds were launching Operation Mountain Express, which would become a huge investigation into pseudoephedrine-dealing involving numerous people of a Middle Eastern background. The authorities initially insisted there were no links to terrorism, but suddenly switched and decided that a chunk of the money was going to Hizbullah.
Eiad, like Nakoula, portrayed and identified himself as an Israeli Jew, a thing Eiad did for years. He even fraudulently holds an authentic Israeli passport.
No one knows for certain that Nakoula is even who he claims to be, but we are 100% certain that both my cousin Eiad and Nakoula had multiple fraudulent identifications and what has never been disclosed until now is that the two were linked for at least a decade.
First of all, clan Nakoula also exists in Eiad’s village Beit Sahour Bethlehem. It is still the little town of Bethlehem, just as it was in Biblical times.
The feds are also silent and have kept much of this issue away from public view. Despite Nakoula’s previous offenses, the Justice Department lawyers and federal agents defended him, giving several excuses to Judge Snyder and pushed for leniency, all because of him supposedly promising to help them catch Eiad.
Via the sentencing transcript:
…he [Nakoula] has implicated Mr. Salamay [aka Salameh] there is no question that Mr. Salamay at some point is gonna be indicted if he hasn’t already been… we all know what’s gonna happen. Salamay is gonna get arrested some day and based on the debriefing information turned over he is gonna enter a guilty plea, or if he doesn’t, then Mr. Nakoula is going to be called in to testify…
This claim by the Feds is false.
If the feds were indeed interested in catching Eiad, he was in fact doing his shenanigans for three decades without a single arrest and despite several arrest warrants issued.
He was in fact finally locked up in January 2011 in Canada as we were told by our contact out of the Intelligence Bureau in Canada (IBC) who wrote us by email (which we have the evidence).
While the Canadians wanted to keep Eiad in custody as long as it took and were working with the Feds to extradite him to the United States, the U.S. preferred not to bring Eiad in to face justice. Instead, they asked the Canadians to fly him to freedom in Palestine.
I received my last email from my contact on July 15th, 2011, which stated: “He is awaiting deportation to Palestine, unless the US hurry up and indict him…” The feds never responded to the Canadian’s last appeal and within a few days, Eiad was put on a plane, courtesy of the Canadian taxpayers.
Where did he go?
Palestine.
The Palestinian terror connection to this film increases once we learned that Nakoula used Eiad’s last name “Erwin Salameh” portraying himself as his brother. As we also obtained from our contact in the IBC, Eiad was also involved with someone having the last name “Tanas” as late as 2011 and Nakoula had used the name “Thomas J. Tanas”.
In addition, the naming convention used by Nakoula in 2009 looks remarkably similar to one of Eiad’s embezzlement operations in 2000.
Nakoula used a fictitious company called M & A Trading in 2009, which he simply switched from Eiad’s A & M Trading as revealed in the U.S. Trustee report in 2001.
I can provide much evidence privately to reliable media, on the condition that the names of the agents remain anonymous (as per their request) but I have disclosed Eiad in all of my seminars to hundreds of FBI agents and police force.
Full Report Here.
So who is this man behind the film Innocence of Muslims?
To identify his motives, I then obtained a radio interview in Arabic that this supposed Nakoula gave in which he stated that he is not Christian but a secular liberal. He was asked, “What is your position on the Jewish and the Christian faith?” Nakoula responded, “I have no calling for these religions.”
Nakoula, who stated that he was an author of several books on Islam (written in Arabic) refused to give his name to the interviewer. Yet, if court documents give his legal name as Nakoula Bacile/Bassele Nakoula, I found no books under that name. Nothing. And neither did anyone produce them.
Nakoula was lying again and is no Coptic author.
A court document refers to a letter from a friend who referred to Nakoula as “a God-fearing man whose first priority is his family.”
This contradicts what he said in Arabic; he is not interested in Christianity or Judaism and is possibly a Muslim.
Nakoula claimed that he produced the film with his son, Abanob Basseley, and the money for it (between $50,000 and $60,000) came from his wife’s family in Egypt.
None of this has been proven.
What has been proven is that he embezzled millions with Eiad and the money must have come from these scandalous operations, which are usually linked to terrorist activity.
Why would any anti-Islam Christian or even Jewish activist want the destruction of his own? It makes zero sense, unless of course this person intends to do harm to his real enemies—Israel and the Copts.
Both are Eiad’s ardent enemies.
How is it possible that these two would snuggle up together for a decade?
On one hand, we have a Meth-dealer-Egyptian-Coptic-anti-Muslim-activist-fundamentalist-Christian. Then on the other hand, we have a Muslim-fundamentalist-Palestinian-scam-artist-terrorist.
The results of this entire fiasco will not be the apprehension of terrorists, but the continual chipping away at the First-Amendment, since Americans by and large are still practicing the art of self-blame while they ignore the real culprits who enter our country with the intent of doing it much harm.

A very sad state of affairs under President Barack Hussein Obama.
I knew that the plot had been exposed and it was not about the film, but the rest, holy cow!!
You really are on top things, glad someone is!
Thank you for sharing this.

SHACKLEFORD DON'T KNOW THAT THE 3 CONTRACTORS WERE WORKING FOR THE CIA, TILL HE HAS PROOF HE SHOULD KEEP HIS PIEHOLE SHUT !!!!
This is how rumors get started and it can cause a whole bunch of problems for the "real" operators in the CIA's paramilitary branch.
When you have people like him speculating on things he has not a clue about , all it does is make for good reading, little else.
And yes we know Obozo did know about these attacks being AQ, but you can thank the media for his "free pass" .
As far as having a bead on the AQ Muslime Dirtballs that did the attack, if they knew where they were , they would be dead.
But this could also be a red herring as there is a possibility that Obozo told the operators to stand down.
I would go with the latter as Obozo has proven again and again how he handles such things.

Barry is not my potus. I wouldn't vote for a criminal. In fact, a criminal should never have been administered the oath of office. As for islamofascism, I will NEVER submit to it. Never.
