Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

CIA pressured to keep quiet about Benghazi ... Thanks Newsmax!



Report: CIA Personnel Pressured to Keep Quiet About Benghazi

While the Obama administration is seeking to bury the Benghazi controversy by calling it a "phony scandal," new disclosures about the attack on American diplomatic personnel last September are keeping it very much alive.

At least five CIA employees have been forced to sign new nondisclosure agreements aimed at discouraging them from leaking their stories to the media, even though they had signed such agreements prior to the attacks, according to Fox News.

And CNN is reporting that some CIA operatives are being required to take frequent, even monthly polygraph tests in an effort to uncover who may be talking to the media or Congress about the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that took the life of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Former CIA operative and CNN analyst Robert Baer said it is highly unusual for agency employees to be polygraphed more often than every three or four years.

According to communications obtained by CNN, one insider states: "You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation."

CNN is also reporting that dozens of Americans were in Benghazi on the night of the attacks and are "being intimidated into staying silent."

A source told CNN the number was 35, with perhaps as many as seven wounded, but it is not known how many Americans in the city were working for the CIA. Only losses suffered by the State Department have been reported to Congress.

Some in Congress have speculated that U.S. agencies in Benghazi were secretly helping to move missiles out of Libya through Turkey and into the hands of Syrian rebels. The State Department has claimed it was only helping the Libyan government destroy old or damaged weapons.

Conor Friedersdorf wrote in The Atlantic on Thursday: "To be clear, it isn't at all certain that the CIA was secretly funneling Libyan weapons to Syria, long before Congress 'lifted its hurdles' on arming Syrian rebels. But if CNN's report is correct, the CIA is at minimum trying to hide something huge from Congress, something that CIA agents might otherwise want to reveal — itself a reason for Congress to press hard for information."

Republican Rep. Frank Wolf, whose district includes CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., is disturbed by the lack of information and the pressure to silence CIA operatives.
"I think it is a form of cover-up," he said.

He has gone to the floor of the House several times to ask for the establishment of a select committee to probe the Benghazi affair.

In another action, Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican, said on Thursday he plans to force a vote in Congress on creating an investigative body.

And House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, a California Republican, has issued two subpoenas to the State Department for documents related to the deadly assault in Benghazi that took place Sept. 11, 2012.

He said in a statement on Thursday he wants all documents the department gave to an independent review board headed by former diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, and all documents related to interviews conducted by the board.

Some lawmakers are concerned that while the government is making efforts to keep Benghazi personnel silent, not enough progress has been made in tracking down those responsible for the attacks, Fox also reported.

They cited a report earlier this week that Ahmed Abu Khattala, allegedly the Benghazi leader of Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamist militia group that advocates strict Sharia law, said no one from the U.S. government has contacted him.

Legislators have written a letter this week to FBI Director James Comey asking him to aggressively pursue the suspects, calling the delay in identifying them "simply unacceptable."
