Editor’s note — We’ll be discussing this story and all the day’s news during our live BlazeCast from 12pm-1pm ET…including your questions, comments & live chat:

Brigitte Gabriel, one of the world’s leading experts on Islamic extremism, said over the weekend that there will be new information to come out on the Benghazi attack that will leave people “amazed and shocked” when they finally hear it.

“As someone working with the intelligence community…more information is going to come out regarding the Benghazi attack that will really leave people amazed and shocked how we have been — on how we are defending the country,” Gabriel said on Fox News.

The story exploded on TheBlaze, with 550 comments and over 12,000 “shares” on social media outlets as of this article’s publication.  And keep in mind that that’s only a fraction of the people who read the story.

We decided to reach out to Gabriel to see if she’d be willing to elaborate on her comments, and you’ll want to know what she had to say.

But first, here’s video of her original remarks:

During the interview, Gabriel discussed everything from the yet-to-be-released information that will leave people “amazed and shocked,” to reports that U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was involved in a “gun-running” operation before he was killed.

Gabriel couldn’t divulge the source of her information or any specifics, but she gave us enough to add significant new pieces to the puzzle the American people are trying to assemble in determining what happened to the 4 brave Americans who were killed overseas.

“There are multiple issues that will come out, I wish I could tell you, but it goes back to the Bin Laden attack,” she said. [Emphasis added].

When asked if she could give readers a general idea of who her sources are, Gabriel replied: “I have connections with some of the highest generals in our military who told me [the information], face to face, by mouth.  They looked at me and said, here’s what going on, here’s the thing…”

Weighing in on reports that Ambassador Stevens was involved in a gun-running operation to provide arms to Syrian rebels at the behest of the U.S. government, Gabriel was equally clear.

“There was an operation; they were smuggling weapons to Syria, and he died because he was involved and because something went wrong,” she stated.

But according to Gabriel, more information on the gun-running program is only one aspect of the explosive information that will be released.

So why, roughly five months later, don’t we know this information already?  When will it be released?  And by whom?

Gabriel was decidedly optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.

In her opinion, it’s possible the information won’t ever come out unless we have a short term special committee to investigate the attack, where those involved are forced to answer legitimate questions under oath by lawmakers who actually want to bring light to the matter.

It can’t be a “slobber fest” like Hillary Clinton’s testimony, Gabriel noted.

The best way to go about this, she said, is to put pressure on lawmakers by supporting legislation introduced by Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) to create the committee, which you can do through her organization ACT! for America.

“We know that unless those responsible, like Panetta and the others, are called into an official hearing under oath, the truth is not going to come out,” she said.  “Before the hearing [last Thursday], no one knew that the president that wasn’t in touch with anybody.”

Many of those involved, she said, will speak the truth if subpoenaed and put before Congress, but they’re not going to volunteer any information.  They have careers, promotions, and reputations to consider.

“People are afraid to talk, including some of the top generals we have!” she lamented.  “They’re trying to cover their behind. And that’s not right by our country.”

She continued:

“It is such a shame that in our country today, we have an administration that is not forthright and truthful, is more concerned with public appearances and elections than protecting America.  It is shameful the way this administration has handled national security and foreign policy, to the point where we have become the laughingstock of our enemy…to have an ambassador killed in such a way…”

Gabriel proceeded to note that a country is in a perilous position when you have honorable people leaving the armed forces because they cannot do their jobs the way they know they must be done, or when they stay in but are “shackled” by political correctness.

“How can we conduct a war when we cannot teach them about the enemy?” she asked, noting that references to violent jihad have been purged from some cultural training manuals.

Bottom line, she said, “unless you put [those involved] under oath and before a committee, the American public is not going to get the truth.”

Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action There are still numerous questions surrounding President Obama’s actions during the 9/11/12 attacks on our Benghazi consulate and safe house, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and four other Americans.   Was the President AWOL? Why the cover-up? Congress is demanding answers. The American people want accountability. And the families of the victims deserve to know the truth.  Please see my important update below on what has come to be known as “Benghazi-gate” – Mat.   The White House is mum on where President Obama was or what he was doing during the hours that American personnel and assets in Benghazi were under siege. According to CNSNews…   “What the White House will tell us is that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, were informed of the attack at 4:32 p.m. while they were at the White House waiting for a pre-scheduled 5:00 p.m. meeting with the President.” The only information the White House has released is that the President told Panetta and Dempsey to take necessary action and that the President was apprised of events as the night went on. ++Is Barack Obama guilty of dereliction of duty? What we do know is that the President didn’t make any calls or initiate any new measures that might have saved the lives of the Americans killed during the waning moments of the attacks.    Senator Lindsey Graham has a problem with that…   “During the entire attack, the President of the United States never picked up the phone to put the weight of his office in the mix.”   That simple action may have saved the lives of Americans and certainly would have sent a different message to radical jihadists than our inaction did. Graham is among the Senators calling for a blockade of Obama’s nominees for cabinet posts until the White House answers important questions about the actions and whereabouts of the President during a terrorist attack on American personnel and property. As you know, Chuck Hagel has been nominated for Defense Secretary and John Brennan for CIA Director, both of whom Liberty Counsel Action opposes.  We oppose these nominees for many reasons, but their shared “soft” attitude toward radical Islam heads the list. You probably remember that the United States of America’s first response to the horrific events in Benghazi was to apologize for our nation’s insensitivity to Muslim sensibilities.  The essence of the White House spin on these attacks was that they were caused by Western culture’s hostility to the Islamic religion and its prophet! Therefore, the White House logic said, we were somehow to blame for this attack and probably deserved it.  What utter rubbish and capitulation of our nation’s sovereignty! If Hagel and Brennan are confirmed, two of America’s most important offices will be occupied by men who are quite sympathetic to the radical Islamic viewpoint.  Both would lean toward appeasement in lieu of firm resistance. ++Now, the White House is condemning the protest over Obama’s unacceptable nominations!    Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, says the President has fully answered the questions about Benghazi and that Hagel and Brennan should be confirmed immediately. In what way has the President come clean, Mr. Carney?     The stonewall continues unabated. Why did the White House insist on deceiving the American people for many weeks after the attack?   Why did they blame a ridiculous anti-Muslim video for the disaster when, in reality, the administration knew within 24 hours that this was a pre-planned, well-orchestrated terror assault on a U.S. Embassy? Why are the numerous witnesses to the attack not being made available to Congress to interview?   Americans demand the truth and the families of the victims deserve the truth!   Even if you have already done so, please join us in calling out the people responsible for this cataclysmic failure by joining our Fax Barrage targeting Capitol Hill. With a simple click of a button, we will send as many as 87 faxes to all the key leaders in both the House and Senate as well as your two Arkansas Senators and Representative – each fax demanding a full investigation into the Benghazi debacle. http://www.lcaction.cc/1670/offer.asp ++“The biggest cover-up in history” Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) asserts that Benghazi-gate “is gonna go down as the biggest cover-up in history.” I believe that – to the dismay of the Obama administration – public pressure is keeping this debate alive. Unless we insist on honesty and accountability, the horrors and lies associated with Benghazi will continue to be swept under the rug until some far-distant date when the Freedom of Information requests will finally be honored. Please, don’t allow this travesty of justice to continue! I urge you to take a minute now to further participate in this important campaign. Click here to send your immediate faxes to Congress: http://www.lcaction.cc/1670/offer.asp Patriotic citizens must insist that Congress expose the cover-up – no matter who it implicates. We must demand accountability! Thank you for joining us in this important initiative to take a stand for those Americans who were so brutally murdered at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists. Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action P.S. The Obama administration wants to close Benghazi-gate by insisting that no scandal exits – yet there are still many unanswered question.  Please keep this investigation alive by adding your name to our petition: http://www.lcaction.cc/1670/offer.asp Liberty Counsel Action is a 501(c)4 organization.

Is John Brennan Blackmailing Obama? (+video)

16 Feb 2013

brennen, CIA, Obama, passport files

by Kris Zane

In early 2008, it was reported that a low-level employee at Analysis Corporation, a State Department contracted company that processed and stored passport records, had breached Barack Obama’s passport file on three different occasions.

The incident was reported to simply be mischief, and the employee involved was reprimanded. We would later find out that John Brennan, then-advisor on intelligence and foreign policy to the Obama campaign, headed the company.

After Barack Obama won the election, the issue was quietly forgotten.

Obama, a radical leftist ideologue—anti-military, anti-war, and anti-torture—proceeded on Day One to surround himself with far left ideologues.

So it was odd when Obama put John Brennan at the top of the list for CIA chief.

Obama made no phone calls on night of Benghazi attack, White House says

The Washington Times

Thursday, February 14, 2013

President Obama didn’t make any phone calls the night of the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the White House said in a letter to Congress released Thursday.

“During the entire attack, the president of the United States never picked up the phone to put the weight of his office in the mix,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, who had held up Mr. Obama’s defense secretary nominee to force the information to be released.

Mr. Graham said that if Mr. Obama had picked up the phone, at least two of the Americans killed in the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi might still be alive because he might have been able to push U.S. aid to get to the scene faster.

The White House has said Mr. Obama was kept up to date on the attack by his staff, though after being alerted to the attack in a pre-scheduled afternoon meeting he never spoke again with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin E. Dempsey or then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Mr. Panetta told Congress last week that he knew immediately the attacks were a terrorist assault, though the White House downplayed that notion in the first five days after the attack.

Republican senators said they will still push for more information on who changed the talking points given to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who went on the Sunday talk shows after the attacks and blamed protests against an anti-Islam video.

Mr. Graham said he will block the president’s nominee to head the CIA until he hears more details about what Mr. Obama was doing.

Sen. John McCain said the White House’s reticence in releasing information contrasts poorly with the flood of details the White House put out about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, which has spawned two movies.

“We still don’t know what the president of the United States was doing the night of the attack and who he was talking to. We know who he wasn’t talking to,” Mr. McCain said.

ON Colorado Voting on Whether to Prohibiting Large-capacity Ammunition Magazines

Magpul Industries Corp.

3 hours ago via mobile

Leadership team is at the Capitol again today, holding the line. Regardless of a manufacturing exemption or not, if HB1224 passes, we have to go. We can't disappoint our customers nor ignore our convictions. Anyone who votes in favor of this bill votes to drive over 600 jobs out of CO. We'll have some contact information for some further assistance coming up soon.

https://www.facebook.com/magpul

Link to the bill:

http://legiscan.com/CO/text/HB1224

Magpul Explains other gun bills in their House:

Magpul Industries Corp.

In addition to the national battle to protect our firearms rights, many states are currently engaged in their own fights. Here in CO, a state with a strong heritage of firearm and other personal freedoms, we are facing some extreme challenges to firearms rights. We have been engaged in dialogue with legislators here presenting our arguments to stop legislation from even being introduced, but our efforts did not deter those of extreme views.

After the NRAs visit last week, several anti-freedom bills were introduced by CO legislators, and a very aggressive timeline has been set forth in moving these bills forward.

The bills include:
HB 1229, Background checks for Gun Transfers--a measure to prohibit private sales between CO residents, and instead require a full FFL transfer, including a 4473.

HB 1228, Payment for Background Checks for Gun Transfers-- a measure that would require CO residents to pay for the back logged state-run CBI system (currently taking 3 times the federally mandated wait time for checks to occur) instead of using the free federal NICS checks.

And finally, HB 1224, Prohibiting Large Capacity Ammunition Magazines--a measure that bans the possession, sale, or transfer of magazines over 10 round capacity. The measures and stipulations in this bill would deprive CO residents of the value of their private property by prohibiting the sale or transfer of all magazines over 10 rounds. This bill would also prohibit manufacture of magazines greater than 10 rounds for commercial sale out of the state, and place restrictions on the manufacture of military and law enforcement magazines that would cripple production.

We'd like to ask all CO residents to please contact your state legislators and the members of the Judiciary Committee and urge them to kill these measures in committee, and to vote NO if they reach the floor.

We also ask you to show your support for the 2nd Amendment at the Capitol on Tuesday, Feb 12, for the magazine ban committee hearing and Wednesday,
Feb 13, for the hearing on the other measures.

Due to the highly restrictive language in HB 1224, if passed, and we remained here, this measure would require us to cease PMAG production on July 1, 2013.

In short, Magpul would be unable to remain in business as a CO company, and the over 200 jobs for direct employees and nearly 700 jobs at our subcontractors and suppliers would pick up and leave CO. Due to the structure of our operations, this would be entirely possible, hopefully without significant disruption to production.

The legislators drafting these measures do so in spite of the fact that nothing they are proposing will do anything to even marginally improve public safety in CO, and in fact, will leave law-abiding CO residents less able to defend themselves, strip away rights and property from residents who have done nothing wrong, and send nearly 1000 jobs and millions in tax revenue out of the state.

We like CO, we want to continue to operate in CO, but most of all, we want CO to remain FREE.

Please help us in this fight, and let your voices be heard!
