The Ulsterman Report Less than a month ago a United States ambassador and three other Americans were killed during a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. For days the Obama administration denied the attacks were terrorist related. Now intelligence figures from within the American government are letting it be known how the Obama White House has repeatedly ignored and then covered up information and events that put the safety and security of the United States in danger.
EXCERPT:
Revolt of the Spooks
Weeks before the presidential election, President Barack Obama’s administration faces mounting opposition from within the ranks of U.S. intelligence agencies over what career officers say is a “cover up” of intelligence information about terrorism in North Africa.
Intelligence held back from senior officials and the public includes numerous classified reports revealing clear Iranian support for jihadists throughout the tumultuous North Africa and Middle East region, as well as notably widespread al Qaeda penetration into Egypt and Libya in the months before the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
…Intelligence officials pointed to the statement issued Sept. 28 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) that raised additional concern about the administration’s apparent mishandling of intelligence. The ODNI statement said that “in the immediate aftermath, there was information that led us to assess that the attack began spontaneously following protests earlier that day at our embassy in Cairo.”
Officials say the ODNI’s false information was either knowingly disseminated or was directed to be put out by senior policy officials for political reasons, since the statement was contradicted by numerous intelligence reports at the time of the attack indicating it was al Qaeda-related terrorism.
Officials with access to intelligence reports, based on both technical spying and human agents, said specific reporting revealed an alarming surge in clandestine al Qaeda activity months before the attack in Benghazi.
Yet the Obama administration sought to keep the information from becoming public to avoid exposing what the officials say is a Middle East policy failure by Obama.
…The first part of the apparent campaign, officials said, was the false information provided to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, who appeared on Sunday television shows after the attack to say the event was a “spontaneous” response to an anti-Muslim video trailerposted online.
Officials said Rice was given the false information to use in media appearances in order to promote the excuse that the obscure video was the cause of the attack, and not the Islamic concept of jihad.
“The Obama Administration is afraid to admit al Qaeda is running rampant throughout the region because it would expose the truth instead of what President Obama so pompously spouted during the Democratic Convention” said the official.

ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE – WELL WORTH THE READ.
When everyone finds out that Obama also knew about the Fukushima situation and did not help the Japanese people because the money from General Electric was too good I say the Democrats should be scrambling around in panic in 3,2,…
However, everyone knows that Obama had to have had the full cooperation of every rich congressperson and judge from both parties to do something of this magnitude. Check the political and social affiliates of the whistle blowers and you’ll see both parties knee deep in the CIA situation. Then Obama will call the CIA in to answer for the Fast and Furious situation. The CIA shielded Holder from prosecution for his participation. Things are about to get interesting. Which side holds the biggest military scandal?
Check your source here… lol
If you follow the links to where the story started, I think you’ll read it differently.
Wait, I am not a Obama fan at all. With that said, how can we trust the CIA? We have to take everything that is said these days with utmost care. Do your research…here in Chicago it is said that the Obama’s are packing (including grandma) to live like royalty in Hawaii.
Who created the CIA? I recall somewhere in my brain files that the CIA was created for the bankers…
Not only that.. One succesfull infiltrating MOSSAD sleeper on a high enough level to hire, and all MOSSAD are guilded in, Until the CIA IS the MOSSAD.
Americans as Usual are responsible for the bills and crimes.
The current United States federal government’s foreign policy is a policy of corpratocracy, alienation and isolation. We The People have no desire to invade, kill, and rob sovereign nations. We The People do not want to interfere in the domestic policies of any nation unless it directly effects the national security of America. That being said, when the next Nuremberg trials are held, We The People ask that world citizens realize that the leaders and minions of the United States Federal Government are not doing the will of We The People. Our agenda is the same as the Keshe Foundation. The current federal monsters are acting on their own to line their own pockets, depopulate the Earth, and destroy the eco system.
Read “Legacy of Ashes,” by Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Tim Weiner, the history of the CIA based on huge declassified doc dumps in 2003-06. The CIA was started by the military, but when WWII was over, they didn’t want to give up their new-found power. They’re supposed to provide intelligence, but according to the book, what the CIA leadership and every administration beginning with Truman was nuts about, was covert action. At times there were so many covert actions going on, that even the CIA didn’t know what their own guys were doing. One highlight is Allan Dulles, who expanded the CIA’s budget from millions to hundreds of billions, going in to Eisenhower’s office, and lying his head off about what the CIA was doing. So, if the head of the CIA is not responsible to the president (and at that time was not yet overseen by Congress) who are they working for? Today, that is nakedly obvious. If you read the book, you’ll never be derisive about “conspiracy theories” again.
Obvious disinformation. Some classified leak exposes that Iran is supporting al qaeda in the middle east? check your facts, who’s been arming, training and shipping these guys all over the middle east? we have. Just more propaganda supporting US foreign policy objectives
Thank you!!!
Iran’s antipathy to Al Qaeda is well known.
If the “leaks” were genuinely damaging — that is to say, if they were genuine — there would be little or no discussion of their alleged contents in the MSM’s “news” organs!
Instead, a counter-intelligence operation would be mounted to deny or downplay their significance as per Damage Control 101.
Earth to Tim Weiner and to Tanya:
The Director of Central Intelligence was NEVER responsible to the President.
Like the President, the DCI is a Pentagon tool — plain and simple. The CIA’s place in the Grand Scheme of Things is greatly overestimated!
Every CIA operation of significance was planned by the Pentagon — inter alia, the U-2 spyplane program (flown by military pilots engaged in the photographing of military targets — it’s safe to say that no U-2 mission ever concerned itself with the wheat yield in the Ukraine); the Bay of Pigs (conceived by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but handed off to the CIA for reasons explained below); the Kennedy, King, and Letelier Sanctions; the Iran-Contra Affaire (Ollie North was the Pentagon’s property), and 911 (where, in the aftermath, the hapless DCI, George Tenet, was trotted out on cue to recite the ritual “Mea Culpa” of “faulty intelligence.”
As long as the Pentagon deploys men and women attired in civilian clothes (i.e., anything other than BDUs), the government (aka, the Pentagon) can pretend that there were no “combatants” participating in the operation du jour, and therefore it was not an Act of War, or anything alarming like that — just a few “rogues” who let “things get out of hand.” You know how it goes…
The CIA, as its title states, is an agency.
Agencies consist of agents.
Agents are — by definition — not principals!
A useful sidebar — The relative influence of any intelligence organization is inversely proportional to its public profile, viz. — The FBI is an open book compared to the CIA; the CIA is an open book compared to the DIA; the DIA is an open book compared to the NSA. The latter two are not civilian entities.
Bottom line — the CIA has no strategic autonomy!
There now — see how easy it is…

I might add to the above:
Whenever the Pentagon needs to obscure (or to deny altogether) its role as the chief architect of an ongoing “project” or criminal operation that, despite its best efforts to conceal, somehow seeped into the public discourse, the CIA (or FBI, DHS, ATF, NAS, NIST, etc.) is called upon to play the “Ghostbuster” role.
To field the flak and/or dispense the chaff…
Examples include: the Robertson Panel and the Condon Committee convened by the CIA in 1952 and 1967, respectively, to coverup the Pentagon’s involvement in UFO related matters; the Warren Commission and the House Select(-ed) Committee on Assassinations (no explanations needed, one hopes); .the Waco Investigation, wherein the FBI and ATF staged a counterfeit “reenactment” of the sequence of events. Yup, the WACO Massacre was the Pentagon’s oeuvre, directed by one Wesley Clark (soon to become the Butcher of Belgrade); the Flight 800 Investigation, wherein the CIA was ordered to produce a deceitful anime to explain away the Navy’s role in the shootdown. (How do we know this? Easy — an NSA spysat photographed the entire event. The NSA has acknowledged this, yet has steadfastly refused to release the film. Hmm…wonder why that is?); and most recently, there’s the 911 Commission staffed by MIC manservants of the Lee Hamilton genus, and deploying the Intellectual Harlots on retainer at NIST…
Just to mention a few…
