“I think that would’ve helped,” Panetta said. “And I think, in part, we pay the price for not doing that in what we see happening with ISIS.”
CBS News reported Panetta writes in his forthcoming book Worthy Fights that the plan was delivered to Obama in a 2012 meeting by himself, Clinton, and other top officials.
However, The REAL Benghazi Story cites evidence of arms transfers throughout the summer of 2012, escalating with a major shipment from Libya to Turkey just days prior to the Sept. 11 attack.
Indeed, on Aug. 1, 2012, Reuters first reported that Obama signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for the Syrian rebels.
According to Reuters, Obama’s order was approved earlier in 2012 and “broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.”
Left-Wing Big Wigs Launch Online Voter Registration Drive
The AFL-CIO union has teamed up with an online voter advocacy group funded by Internet giants and left-wing billionaire George Soros in a new online voter registration drive, this column has found.
The People’s World, a news website associated with the Communist Party USA, reported last week that the “voter registration” plan is “just a click away.”
Reports the magazine: “The AFL-CIO has teamed up with TurboVote to make voting easy for you and for your friends and family. Not only can you register or update your registration, but TurboVote will help you with absentee ballots, vote-by-mail information, finding your polling place and even sending reminders by email and text so you won’t forget to vote.”
TurboVote, based in Brooklyn, New York, defines itself as “an application that makes voting easy.”
TurboVote is linked to Internet giants like Google. The website lists its seven funders, including Google Politics.
Another funder of TurboVote is the Democracy Fund, which was created in 2011 by eBay Founder Pierre Omidyar as an initiative of Omidyar Network. In 2014, the Democracy Fund became an independent private foundation.
TurboVote is also funded by the Sunlight Foundation, which in turn receives funds from George Soros’s Open Society.
