Congressional Testimony by Father of Two Victims of Columbine School Shooting

  On Thursday, May 27, 1999, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's sub-committee on Crime. What he said to our national leaders was painfully truthful. They were probably unprepared for what he was to say, nor was his denunciation of our pop culture received well or received coverage in the media. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every “expert”! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. Because of the virtual blackout by the Main Media, to some, his testimony may appear to be a "hoax." Let me assure you, it is not. I personally checked its authenticity: it comes directly from the Congressional transcript.  (E. Ross, PhD, publisher).

TESTIMONY OF
DARRELL SCOTT ·
FATHER OF TWO VICTIMS OF
COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTINGS
LITTLETON, COLORADO


*********

BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME, HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE,
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES



THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1999
2:00P.M.
2141 RAYBURN HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING


Since  the dawn of creation there  has been  both good and  evil in the  heart of men  and  women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence.


The death  of n1y wonderful  daughter, Rachel  Joy Scott, and  the  deaths of that heroic teacher and the other  1 J  children  who died  must  not be in vain.     Their blood cries out for answers.


The tirst recorded act of violence was when Cain slew  his brother  Able out in the field.   The villain  was not the club he used.  Neither was it the NCA,  the National  Club Association. The true killer  was Cain and the reason  for the murder  could only be found  in Cain’s  heart.


In  the days that  followed  the Columbine tragedy,
I was amazed at how  quickly fingers  began to be pointed  at groups such as the NRA.


I am not a member of the NRA. I am  not  a hunter.   I do  not even  own a gun.  I am not here to represent or defend the NRA   because I don't believe that they  are responsible for my


daughter's death.  Therefore I  do  not  believe that they  need to be defended. If I believed they  had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would  be their  strongest opponent.


I am here today  to declare  that Columbine was not  just  a tragedy - it was a spiritual event  that should be forcing us to look  at where the real blame lies!


Much of that  blame lies here  in this  room. Much of that  blame lies behind  the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves.


I wrote a poem  just 4 nights  ago that express my feelings best.  This was written way  before I knew  I would be speaking here today.


Your laws ignore our deepest  needs.
Your  words arc empty air. You've stripped away our heritage  You've outlawed  simple prayer.


Now  gunshots fill our classrooms
And precious children die. You seek  for answers everywhere And ask the question "Why"?


You regulate restrictive  law
Through legislative creed
And  yet you fail to understand
That  God  is what we need!



Men  and  women  are 3 part beings. We all consist of body,  soul, and spirit.  When  we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make­ up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred  to rush in and wreck havoc.


Spiritual influences were present  within  our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries.   This  is a historic fact.


What  has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor  God, and in doing so, we open the doors  to hatred  and violence.


And  when  something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs   politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA.       They immediately seek to pass more  restrictive laws that continue to erode away  our personal and private liberties.


We do not need more restrictive laws.  Eric and Dylan  would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of new laws  can stop someone who spends  months planning this type of massacre.
The  real villain lies within our own hearts. Political posturing and restrictive legislation are not the answers.


The young people  of our nation hold the  key. There is a spiritual awakening taking place that will not be squelched!


We do not  need more religion. We do not need more gaudy television evangelists spewing out verbal religious garbage. We do not need more million dollar church buildings  built while people  with  basic needs are being ignored.


We do need  a change of heart and an humb1e acknowledgement that this nation was founded on the principle of simple trust in God!


As my son Craig lay under that table  in the school library  and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes  he did not hesitate  to pray in school.  I defy any Law or politician  to deny  him that  right!



I challenge  every young  person in America  and around  the world  to realize that on April 20, 1999 at Columbine High School − prayer was brought  back to our schools.  Do not let the 
many  prayers  offered by those students be in vain.


Dare  to move into the new  millenium  with a sacred disregard for legislation  that violates your conscience and denies  your  God-given right  to communicate with Him.


To those of you who would  point  your finger  at the NRA− I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare  to examine your own  heart  before you cast the first  stone!


My daughter’s death  will not be in vain.  The young people of this country will  not allow  that to happen

Experts: American capitalism has descended into the abyss of Marxism

  In the 70 years of Soviet power, which precipitously imploded by 1991, Pravda was the No 1 organ of Communist propaganda, only to be closed down along with other Soviet institutions, as the Soviet Uinion came crumbling down in 1991. Another publication, in a popular on-line tabloid format assumed this name popular with the Russians. It has no relation to, no staff, no pedigree from the orginal newspaper with the same name.  Nowadays, there are nearly forty (40) political parties in democratic Russia, most of them represented in the Russian Parliament (Duma).  In this Pravda-printed article about America's descent into Marxism, of a particular interest is the author's observation that American population has been successfully dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system. Never mind its bookish language, pay attention instead to the clarity of the analysis. Eric Ross, PhD

    American capitalism gone with a whimper
by Stanislav Mishin  27.04.2009 
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonald's burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breathtaking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?
These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.
Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.
Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this andthe option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Within 48 hours of Obama's Re-election, 48 major Corporations Announce Layoffs

 Posted by Eric Ross, PhD, formerly financial adviser with Smith Barney, Citigroup Global Financial Markets

The facts below are purely of the macro-economic nature (the layoffs) and technical nature, reflecting the market's sentiment in regards to the latest major news, and its likely behavior in response to it in the near future.

Within the past 48 hours after Obama’s re-election, the following companies have announced layoffs:

1. Westinghouse
2. Research in Motion
3. Boeing
4. US Cellular
5. Commerzbank
6. Iberia
7. ING
8. Ericsson
9. Bristol-Myers
10. Corning
11. Boston Scientific
12. Abbott Labs
13. St. Jude
14. Caterpillar
15. CVPH Medical Center
16. Lightyear Haqwker Beechcraft
17. Hawker Beechcraft (also closing facilities)
18. Pepsi
19. Groupon
20. Energizer
21. Lightyear Network Solutions
22. Providence Journal
23. Momentive Performance Materials
24. Gameforge Berlin
25. Vestas Wind Systems
26. Husqvarna
27. SRA International
28. PerkinElmer
29. Majestic Star Casino & Hotel
30. Center for Hospice New York
31. Lower Bucks Hospital
32. Oce North America
33. United Blood Services Gulf
34. Atlantic Lottery Corporation
35. Welch Allyn
36. Dana Holding
37. Stryker
38. Medtronic
39. Smith & Nephew
40. Covidien
41. Kinetic Concepts
42. Hill Rom
43. Darden Restaurants
44. JANCOA
45. Kroger
46. Alcatel-Lucent
47. Umatilla Chemical
48. Rocketdyne

Layoffs by the small businesses are expected to make an even greater impact on unemployment than the head count cuts by large corporations.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average came crashing the morning after Obama's re-election 313 points on the day, and another 112 points the following day, Thursday. The Dow futures came completely undone at the 13,200 level during the Thursday session. The candle on the Japanese Candle Chart is massive and red; it signifies that we have entered a new down leg in the market. The 13,000 level has been broken significantly, with conviction, and this psychologically important area should now offer upward resistance. There exists no particular reason to see this market rising over time, and we suspect that a downward move to 12,400 is likely. Given the increased risk, we expect market weakness until the US government finds a solution to the “fiscal cliff.”

Have Sex With Obama – The Most Tasteless Political Ad Ever

 by Eric Ross, PhD

When it comes to politicians shamelessly using our young, the naïve and inexperienced, they will hear their fathers voice loud and clear. 


On October 25, 2012, the Obama campaign released its latest ad, featuring another celebrity of sorts,  

Lena Dunham, a 26-year-old star on the  HBO’s raunchy series Girls, sort of a sequel to Sex In the City, but for twenty-somethings. It is a shockingly crass, tasteless ad, addressed to young girls and comparing voting for the first time to losing virginity. In a cutesy confidential manner Lena Dunham tells your daughters that if they are going to have sex – er, vote – for the first time, they should really do it with President Barack Hussein Obama. It is uncouth flimsily disguised as cute.

 

Apparently, the Obama’s campaign sank to these new lows not without a “scientific” basis: Sociology “researchers”, such as Kristina Durante of the University of Texas, San Antonio, found that during the fertile time of the month, when levels of the hormone estrogen are high, single women appeared more likely to vote for Obama. Committed women (lest we use the unfashionable term “married”) with the same levels of estrogen, appeared more likely to vote for Romney by a margin of at least 20%.  This seems to be the driver behind the researchers' overall observation, that single women were inclined toward Obama and committed women leaned toward Romney.

 

Hence, the Democrat Party’s election year’s stratagem to woo single women by accusing Republicans of waging the mythological “War on Women”, while Joe Biden comes to their rescue with loads of free contraceptives, calling on them to have a big O voting for O.

 

No wonder President Obama was busily campaigning on air with the Florida’s Radio DJ Pimp with the Limp, while American diplomats were attacked with RPG, Mortar and automatic fire for eight hours in Benghazi, Libya, leaving four of them dead.


 


Here’s the full transcript:

Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy with beautiful … somebody who really cares about and understands women.
A guy who cares about whether you get health insurance, and specifically whether you get birth control. The consequences are huge. You want to do it with a guy who brought the troops out of Iraq. You don’t want a guy who says, “Oh hey, I’m at the library studying,” when he’s really out not signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act.
Or who thinks that gay people should never have beautiful, complicated weddings of the kind we see on Bravo or TLC all the time. It’s a fun game to say, “Who are you voting for?” and they say “I don’t want to tell you,” and you say, “No, who are you voting for,” and they go, “Guess!”
Think about how you want to spend those four years. In college age time, that’s 150 years. Also, it’s super uncool to be out and about and someone says, “Did you vote,” and “No, I didn’t vote, I wasn’t ready.”
My first time voting was amazing. It was this line in the sand. Before I was a girl. Now I was a woman. I went to the polling station and pulled back the curtain. I voted for Barack Obama.
Yes, she just compared loosing virginity with voting for Obama, the right guy to loose it to. In her cutesy commercial, she mocks virgins – “No, I didn’t vote, I wasn’t ready.” She goes on a windy explanation as to why Barack Obama is the "right guy" she is ready to have have sex – er, vote – with.

She chose “to do it” for the first time with Barack Hussein Obama, since he “cares about and understands women.” In fact, all he understands is that certain women can be exploited with idiotic, tasteless commercials comparing losing virginity “to the right guy” with voting for him.  Have a big O with O! It is so-o-o exciting, so-o-o cool! Do not do it with anyone else, girls. They are limp flip-floppers. Barack is the ticket. Give it all to O and have a big O!

Apparently, having two young daughters did not stop the campaigner-in-chief:  he released this unsavory commercial (I am Barack Obama and I approve this message) because this is what Barack Hussein thinks of your daughters and all young women.  Apparently, the Demagogue-in-Chief thinks young American women are gullible, stupid, tasteless bitches, controlled by hormones and swooning at the mere mention of his name.  Can it be more demeaning to women? – Perhaps only if it featured Bill “I did not have sex with that woman” Clinton. And this pompous, crass ass dares to call himself a father, let alone President of the United States!
I do not think any slimy politician has ever gone this low before. Apparently, Mr. Obama thinks he is so-o-o “cool”, that young women have a collective orgasm at his mere appearance on stage, sort of like German girls did at the sight of Adolf Hitler.
His campaign has gone to the unprecedented extremes of low taste: from mocking the opponent with Big Bird, to the “binders full of women”, to lecturing him on the “horses and bayonets” and “these things that go under water”, to calling him publicly at a rally “a bullshitter”, in an apparent fit of projection… Any wonder then that the level of public respect for the Office of the US President is at an all time low?

Barack Obama cannot run on his record. He admitted that he does not even dig the 7th grade math to help his daughter, so how can he comprehend balancing a budget?  His campaign is not about the economy or the permanent job destruction that removed 23 million Americans from the labor force, nor is it about trillions of dollars in debt his administration created, while permitting companies like General Motors multi-billion dollar tax refunds. Nor is it about foreign policy.  Barack Hussein was too busy chatting up the Pimp With the Limp on the morning of the 9/11/12 attack and campaigning in Las Vegas.  The Campaigner-in-Chief  skipped that day’s and most other of the security briefings, which prior presidents religiously attended.
Barack Obama’s campaign has become all about free birth control, advocated by filthy-rich millionaire celebrities, and insults hurled at his stoically poised opponent, refusing to stoop to Obama’s level.

I strongly doubt that any self-respecting young women would want to have anything to do with a presidential candidate who presumes they vote with their “lady parts” and hormone levels.  In fact, American women just might prefer a Presidential candidate who creates well-paying jobs here in America, instead of distributing free condoms in designer colors. They may just opt for someone with  a real plan to take the economy out of the absolute disaster zone of 16 trillion debt that Obama built, where our children are already saddled with over $50,000 of debt before they are even born.

Precise Timeline of Obama's Failure to Protect U.S. Embassy Personnel



The credit for marshaling  much of the information below goes to the Heritage Foundation. We verified, and expanded it.
______________________________________________
When our sons and daughters risk their lives in service of the United States, we fully expect the Commander-in-Chief and senior US officials to be true to their duty to provide for our children's security. Instead  it appears  they sacrificed the lives of some of our finest citizens for the sake of creating an appearance of a "winning foreign policy" under president Obama, who replaced the term "Islamic terrorist" with "workplace violence." To add insult to injury, their "apology tour" in the UN and on the international television channels, encourage further acts of terrorism against the U.S.

The latest incriminating information on the U.S. consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya indicates that the State Department turned down a request for additional security from concerned U.S. embassy staff, the White House ignored advanced warnings of the impending attack, then engaged in a protracted effort to cover up its failures.

Evidence clearly shows there were security threats in Libya in the months prior to the deadly September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Despite these threats, the State Department left its personnel there to fend for themselves.

There is undeniable evidence the senior Libyan officials warned the U.S. officials of an impending attack three days before 9/11/12, but neither the State Department, nor the White House ultimately responsible for the ambassadors' security, took heed.

And when the terrorist attack did take place, the Obama Administration peddled the ridiculous story that an offensive, amateurish, anti-Islam YouTube video was to blame. The administration's effort to avoid characterizing the murders of four Americans as terrorism was all too apparent, especially as evidenced by the president's own speech in the U.N., his many TV appearances and those by the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. 

On October 2, a letter [1] was sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R–CA) and Jason Chaffetz (R–UT), Chairman of the National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations Subcommittee. The letter detailed 13 known security threats against U.S. facilities in Libya in the six months prior to September 11.


On October 10, the committee held a hearing on events in Libya, seeking answers from the State Department.  Rather than admitting at least the terrorist nature of the attack, Obama continued to blame the "offensive" video-clip titled Innocence of MuslimsIt appears that the blood of Ambassador Stevens, his aide, and the two private citizens who rushed to Ambassador's rescue, is on the hands of Obama, not the producer of Innocence of Muslims.  The Egyptian copt who directed the video is a scapegoat. 

To help our readers follow the path to tragedy on September 11 and its aftermath, below is a chronology of key events:

Events Leading On to the Fatal Attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi

April 6: IED thrown over the fence of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
April 11: Gun battle erupts between armed groups two-and-a-half miles from the U.S. Consulate, including rocket-propelled grenades.
April 27: Two South African contractors are kidnapped by armed men, released unharmed.
May 1: Deputy Commander of U.S. Embassy Tripoli’s Local Guard Force is carjacked, beaten, and detained by armed youth.
May 1: British Embassy in Tripoli is attacked by a violent mob and set on fire. Other NATO embassies attacked as well.
May 3: The State Department declines a request [3] from personnel concerned about security at the U.S. Embassy in Libya for a DC-3 plane to take them around the country.
May 22: Two rocket-propelled grenades are fired at the Benghazi office of the International Committee of the Red Cross, less than 1 mile from the U.S. Consulate.
June 6: A large IED destroys part of the security perimeter of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Creates hole “big enough for 40 men to go through.”
June 10: A car carrying the British ambassador is attacked in Tripoli. Two bodyguards injured.
Late June: The building of the International Red Cross attacked again and closed down, leaving the U.S. flag as the only international one still flying in Benghazi, an obvious target.
August 6: Armed assailants carjack a vehicle with diplomatic plates operated by U.S. personnel.
September 8: A local security officer in Benghazi warns American officials [4] about deteriorating security. (LIBYAN SECURITY OFFICIALS: WE WARNED U.S. THREE DAYS BEFORE BENGHAZI ATTACK) [4a].

September 11, 2012 Attacks and their Aftermath


September 11: Protesters attack the U.S. Cairo embassy [5]. U.S. Embassy releases statement and tweets sympathizing with Muslim protesters/attackers.

September 11: U.S. Consulate in BenghaziLibya is attacked [6], Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans are killed, eight Americans are wounded (the fact still concealed by the U.S. media to this day.) 

September 11: Despite the reports of massive attacks on the U.S. Embassies in the Middle east, President Barack Hussein Obama skips his morning security briefing to chat with the "Pimp With a Limp" Florida's radio station's DJ. [5a]
September 12: Secretary Clinton and President Obama issue statements [5] condemning both the video and the attacks.
September 12: U.S. intelligence agencies have enough evidence to conclude a terrorist attack [7] was involved.
September 13: Press Secretary Jay Carney condemns video and violence [5] at a news conference.
September 14: Carney denies [8] Administration had “actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.”
September 14: The bodies of slain Americans return to Andrews Air Force Base. President Obama again blames [9] the YouTube video.
September 16: U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appears on Sunday talk shows and says authoritatively the attacks were provoked by the video, exclusively [5] that the attacks were “spontaneous — not premeditated” and “in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.” The White House sticks to this "narration" of events, despite mounting overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

September 16: Libyan President Mohamed Magarief says [5], “no doubt that this [attack] was preplanned, predetermined.”
September 17: State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland refuses to call attacks an act of terror [10].
September 19: CNN reports having found Ambassador Stevens’s diary [11], which indicates concern about security threats in Benghazi. For many more weeks the U.S. does not secure the compound under various excuses, so many top secret and confidential documents strewn on the floor go missing in the aftermath of the attack. 
September 19: Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Matthew Olsen tells Congress [12] the attack in Libya was “terrorism.”
September 20: Carney, the White House spokesman, tries to back up [13] Olsen, says it was “self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.” He still dug in his heels, saying the Benghazi tragedy was “an opportunistic attack” that grew from alleged video-based unrest.
September 20: Obama refuses to call attack terrorism [14], citing insufficient information.
September 21: Secretary of State Clinton, at meeting with Pakistani Foreign Minister, says, “What happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack [15].”
September 25: On ABC’s “The View,” Obama says [16], “we don’t have all of the information yet so we are still gathering.”

September 25: In his speech at the U.N. , Obama blames [17] “A crude and disgusting video [which] sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world.” Mr. Barack Hussein Obama referred to the "offensive" video six times but not once did he describe the events as terrorism.  The now famous quotation by Mr. Obama in his speech at the U.N. was his denouncement of the Freedom of Speech: "The Future Must Not Belong to Those Who Slander the Prophet of Islam." [17a] , [17b]  The events in the Middle East did not fit the White House’s rosy election-year story of Obama's "achievements."  Instead, Obama and his officials tried to make the tragedy into a "teachable moment", lecturing Americans on tolerance for Islam and laying a foundation for further encroachment on the Freedom of Speech.

September 26: Libya’s Magarief on the “Today” show says [16], “It was a preplanned act of terrorism directed against American citizens.”
September 26: Published reports show [7] U.S. Intel agencies and the Obama Administration knew within 24 hours that al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist were involved.
September 27: Innocence of Muslims filmmaker Mark Basseley Youseff (aka Nakoula Basseley Nakoula) is arrested and denied bail [18] on the charges of “probation violation.”
September 28: Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper, Jr., issues a statement backing [19] the Obama Administration’s changing story about the Libyan attack. Says facts are evolving.
September 28: Administration's Agency for International Development notified Congress of the cash infusion of $450 million to Egypt's Government, dominated  by the Muslim Brotherhood. Practically all of the $2 billion / year of the U.S. "aide" goes to the Egyptian military.
October 2: Carney declines to comment [20] on reported requests from diplomats in Libya for additional security, citing the State Department’s internal investigation.
