Dead US Ambassador Documented Creation of Benghazi Terror EmirateLate US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens documented the transformation of Benghazi, Libya into overt base of operations for Al Qaeda. The Washington Times, in an article titled, Ambassador Stevens warned of Islamic extremism before Benghazi attack, reported: The Washington Times would quote Stevens as writing: While all of this is depicted by the Western media as a recent revelation made only after the death of Ambassador Stevens, journalists around the world had documented and warned of the dangers of arming pro-democracy protesters who were clearly militant extremists, actively carrying out terrorism for at least three decades in the Cyrenaica (eastern Libya) region. Video: March, 2011, shortly after NATO began bombing Libya, journalists the world over were warning that the so-called pro-democracy protesters the West was purportedly protecting were in fact notorious extremist groups with a 30 year history of terrorism in Libya and abroad. Dr. Webster Tarpley provided documented evidence collected from the US Armys own West Point study, indicating the the epicenter of the so-called revolution, was in fact the global epicenter of Al Qaeda recruitment. It would be in this epicenter that John McCain would give his speech, and where Ambassador Stevens would later be killed. Geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley, in March of 2011, published a report titled, The CIAs Libya Rebels: The Same Terrorists who Killed US, NATO Troops in Iraq, where a 2007 West Point study implicated Libyas Cyrenaica region as the global epicenter for Al Qaeda recruitment. The most prominent militant group in the region was the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), listed by the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf) as an international terrorist organization. The United Nations, in addition to labeling LIFG as a terrorist organization, designated it as being in association with Al Qaeda, a designation that was made in 2001, a decade before NATOs military intervention. While the Western press and State Department officials attempt to claim the extremists operating in Benghazi are merely affiliated with Al Qaeda, this is an understatement. LIFG is Al Qaeda, and has been officially since 2007. The West Point report titled, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq stated: To this day, LIFG leaders are alleged to occupy the highest echelons of Al Qaeda, with the recently deceased Abu Yahya al-Libi (the Libyan) having played a role in both terror outfits. With West Points 2007 report and the UNs 2001 official designation, it is clear that NATOs decision to arm these groups was an act of unprecedented, blatant state sponsorship of terrorism. That the UN mandated NATOs intervention, undermines entirely the primacy of international law. Warning Signs Were Covered Up, Not Ignored. While the Western press glossed over stories covering the hoisting of Al Qaeda flags described by Ambassador Stevens in his cables, the development was covered across the alternative media, including in, John McCain: Founding Father of the Terrorist Emirate of Benghazi, where the full implications and genesis of these prevailing extremists forces were examined in detail. Alternative analysis was quickly dismissed as conspiracy theories, even as Ambassador Stevens was sending his cables to Washington conveying exactly the same information. The West did not ignore these warnings. It covered them up intentionally through a concerted campaign of deceit, cognitive infiltration, and ridicule. The intelligence services of Washington and London had been supplying weapons and aid to the terrorists of Benghazi for 30 years, fought along side them in Afghanistan against the Soviets in the 1980s, armed and unleashed them in Kosovo in the 1990s, and willfully bolstered their numbers, armament, and operational capacity in 2011 in order to overthrow the Libyan government. The terror emirate of Benghazi that consumed Ambassador Stevens is a monster of the Wests own willful, premeditated creation the West fully cognizant of the implications and a monster the West is currently still arming, funding, and supporting, this time along the Turkish-Syrian border. US, NATO, and International Community to Willfully Repeat Mistake in Syria. Indeed, the very terrorists that have turned Benghazi into a terror emirate, with Al Qaeda flags waving freely over government buildings, and responsible for the death of a US Ambassador, are being sent to the Turkish-Syrian border where NATO member Turkey is harboring them while the US arms them with Saudi and Qatari purchased weapons. In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group, would report: Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and more recently, CNN, whose Ivan Watson accompanied terrorists over the Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo, revealed that indeed foreign fighters were amongst the militants, particularly Libyans. It was admitted that: CNN also added: CNNs reports provide bookends to 2011s admissions that large numbers of Libyan terrorists flush with NATO cash and weapons had headed to Syria, with notorious terrorist LIFG commandersmaking the arrangements. In essence, Syria has been under invasion for nearly a year by Libyan terrorists the very same terrorists who have overrun Benghazi and killed a US ambassador, fully facilitated by NATO. In addition to these terrorists, Turkey and the United States are also arming and funding Muslim Brotherhood militants as well as fighters from US State Department-listed Ansar al-Islam. To explain this to the public, the Western press is claiming that the weapons are inadvertently ending up in the hands of extremists, despite the CIA operating along the border allegedly steering weapons into the hands of more secular militants. In June of 2012, the New York Times in an article titled, C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition, claimed: The C.I.A. officers have been in southern Turkey for several weeks, in part to help keep weapons out of the hands of fighters allied with Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, one senior American official said. Then, apparently right under the nose of the CIA and NATO, the New York Times reported on October 14, 2012 in their article, Rebel Arms Flow Is Said to Benefit Jihadists in Syria, that: Clearly, there are only two explanations. The CIA is inept and should be held accountable for its profound and repeated failures, or the same verified lies told by the West in regards to Libya are being repeated in Syria. Either way, the West, though its demonstrable actions, has forfeited its self-proclaimed authority to intervene beyond its borders, based on international law it willfully, openly, and repeatedly violates, selectively enforces, and otherwise manipulates to achieve its extraterritorial ambitions and must be excluded entirely from any solution implemented to resolve the violence unfolding in Syria.
