OF MISSILES, MAYHEM, & ‘THEATRICAL MAGIC’ 
When you look up the meaning of the term “misdirection” in Wikipedia, you find the following:
Misdirection is a form of deception in which the attention of an audience is focused on one thing in order to distract its attention from another. Managing the audience’s attention is the aim of all Theater; it is the foremost requirement of Theatrical Magic.
In searching for the truth about 2012′s deadly attack in Benghazi and the subsequent chaos, confusion and coverup, one must understand how misdirection plays into Washington’s attempt at strategic “stagecraft”. You have to be aware of how you are being distracted; how your attention is being shifted; how the writers, directors and producers of the Benghazi “drama” are trying to manage your awareness to magical effect. The magical effect of making the real travesty disappear.

In other words, they’re trying to trick you – to fool you into watching what the right hand of government is doing while the left hand is really where the “truth” is being manipulated, sometimes manufactured. And if we – We the People – fall for this adept trickery, those responsible for what appears to be a covert gun-running scheme, multiple deaths in the line of duty, and the massive coverup that’s still underway – those high government officials and media operatives involved will not be held to account.
Since the latest congressional hearing in which the dramatic testimony of three “whistleblowers” has brought Benghazi back up to a full boil, the main focus of the great majority of media outlets – establishment as well as alternative media, left-leaning as well as right – has been on the “talking points”. Those talking points that fed the “untruths” repeatedly spewed in the week following the Benghazi attack.
Originating in the U.S. intelligence community – primarily in the CIA – the talking points reportedly went through a dozen rapid rewrites before being widely (and falsely) used to describe and explain the assault and the resulting deaths. The current fuss and furor over the talking points centers on several questions:
1. Who changed them and why?
2. Was it really “style” and “semantics”, not substance, at the heart of the changes?
3. Why was the CIA’s assessment that it was a purposeful terror attack changed to indicate the assault arose from a spontaneous street demonstration against an obscure anti-Muslim video on youtube?
Don’t fall for the misdirection. Don’t let your attention be diverted. Our LibertyNEWS.com investigation leads us to believe those are the wrong questions – the wrong ones if we want to get to the bottom of this spreading scandal. The talking points issue is a distraction, albeit a clever and useful one. Plus, we contend that the basic premise of the CIA’s original version of the talking points is false – that premise, that the Benghazi assault was a terrorist attack. That appears to be part of the overall attempt to turn our attention from far more critical questions, leading to far more embarrassing answers.
Among these critical questions are ten that deserve serious examination and which we at LibertyNEWS.com are pursuing:
1. Why did an organized, heavily armed band of attackers conduct a prolonged, military-style assault on a compound housing both CIA and State Department facilities and personnel?
2. What, or who, were the attackers after; and did they obtain, compromise or destroy the target of their attack?
3. How was this attack related to the joint CIA-State Department effort to locate and acquire anti-aircraft missiles (MANPADS) and other heavy weapons stolen from ransacked Libyan government arsenals after the fall of the dictator Muammar Gaddafi?
4. Were those weapons, once recovered by U.S. forces (including the two CIA operatives killed in the Benghazi attack), secretly shipped to Syrian rebels and possibly other extremist Muslim factions in the Middle East?
5. Was the U.S. mission in Benghazi, under the leadership of Ambassador Chris Stevens, organizing and coordinating those shipments?
6. Were disputes among those extremist factions over the distribution of the Libyan weapons what led, at least in part, to the assault on the Benghazi facilities?
7. Who issued the alleged “stand down” order to U.S. military assets that may well have been available to help repel the attack on the Benghazi compound and save the lives of the four murdered Americans?
8. Was the reluctance to mount a defensive and/or rescue effort in Bengahzi, as well as the subsequent attempt by the Obama Administration to spin up a clumsy coverup, related to Obama’s re-election campaign and his perceived strength in managing foreign affairs?
9. Were some of those recovered Libyan weapons, including sophisticated surface-to-air missiles, making their way to anti-Israel forces in Lebanon, including Hezbollah guerillas?
10. Were the reported Israeli air strikes on targets inside Syria in February and May aimed at stopping such weapons shipments?

When you consider the significance of the above questions, and the potential explosiveness of their answers, you can see how the controversy over the talking points is a classic case of misdirection attempted by managers of the political theater in Washington who want our attention to be diverted. Make no mistake, this “theatrical magic” is serious business indeed, and the consequences of failure potentially catastrophic for those in power.
In future reports, LibertyNEWS.com will tie together important events, activities, organizations and individuals; and we will connect significant dots in order to help paint the picture of what we believe could be one of, if not THE most outrageous government coverup scandal in American history. We will draw from numerous published reports in a wide variety of media, from government documents, insider interviews and witness testimonies to help make sure the spinmeisters at the highest levels of our government are not successful in their attempts at deceiving the American people.
And we trust that you will refuse to fall prey to a pack of would-be “magicians” in government and the complicit, compliant media with their ongoing trickery of misdirection.
