Imperial Commander Bao Xin spoke of Dong Zhuo's behavior to Yuan Shao, saying,"This man harbors some evil design and should be removed. Nothing can he done till the government is more settled", said Yuan Shao. Then Bao Xin saw Minister of the Interior Wang Yun and asked what he thought. "Let us talk it over", was the reply. Bao Xin said no more but he left the capital and retired to the Taishan Mountains. Dong Zhuo induced the soldiers of the two brothers He Jin and He Miao to join his command, and privately spoke to his adviser Li Ru about deposing the Emperor in favor of the Prince of Chenliu. "The government is really without a head; there can be no better time than this to carry out your plan. Delay will spoil all. Tomorrow assemble the officials in the Wenming Garden and address them on the subject. Put all opponents to death, and your prestige is settled". So spoke Li Ru andthe words pleased Dong Zhuo mightily. So the next day Dong Zhuo spread a feast and invited many guests. As all the officers wen ...

Anyone who on or after February 1, 2013 receives a residency package from a United States consulate or embassy abroad  must pay $165.00 USCIS Immigrant Fee.  The immigrant fee will cover the cost of USCIS staff time to handle, file and maintain the immigrant visa package, and the cost of producing and delivering the permanent resident card. Applicants will now have to pay both the DOS visa application processing fee and the USCIS Immigrant Fee.  You will not receive a green card until the required USCIS Immigrant fee is paid.  Customers will soon pay the $165 USCIS Immigrant Fee using USCIS ELIS (online payment) after they receive their immigrant visa package from the Department of State and before they depart for the United States.   

Would you like to know why Bill Clinton wasn't harder on stopping terrorism...killing Bin Laden when he was in our sites? Republicans have never met a mistake or *** in the armor they didn't want to blow up into an impeachable offense. Their party's candidate, who became president committed high crimes and misdemeanors in his path to election. Their next elected president went around Congress and sold arms to terrorists to fund a war in Central America. An act of high treason. Tell me again how I am supposed to disqualify the next likely president on mistakenly not demanding more money for counselate safety when the cuts to State Department security were proposed by the same key Republicans who are pulling at these threads.

The unfolding events of the Boston Marathon Massacre have produced evident abuses of the Refugee Resettlement programs of the US State Department and Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement. The Tsarneav brothers and family were generously granted asylum, family reunification . They were generously supported with state welfare and Medicaid benefits and educated at an elite public high school , community colleges and state universities. Then there was evidence of abuses in the Student Visas by Kazakh accomplices after the fact that may have purposefully destroyed evidence in the dorm room of Dzhorkar Tsarneav. He is the surviving Boston bombing suspect now incarcerated at an infirmary at Fort Devens in central Massachusetts. Perhaps the most flagrant recent example of abuses of the asylum system was the fraud committed by a Tunisian jihadi, Ahmed Abassi. Abassi was implicated in the alleged radicalization of a fellow Tunisian apprehended by the Royal Canadian Mounted P ...

Torn between deficit hawks and government haters, Republicans haven't been able to come up with any clear message or platform except to attack the Obama administration for Obamacare, Benghazi, and now the IRS. It was wrong for the IRS to target conservative groups and the employees responsible should be held accountable. And the public has a right to know if the State Department covered up what it knew about the attack at Benghazi. But we can't afford to spend our time mired in a partisan brawl when 14 percent of us are still unemployed or underemployed, almost a quarter of the nation's children are in poverty, inequality continues to widen, guns are ubiquitous, climate change is a growing threat, and our democracy is available to the highest bidder. The problem is not just with regressive Republicans and hidebound Democrats but everyone who's sitting on their hands, engulfed in cynicism or helplessness.

Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, planned on Monday to seek depositions from retired Ambassador Thomas Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen. Issa, who is leading Republicans' investigations into the attacks on a State Department consulate last September, said he wants to know with whom the pair spoke to reach their conclusion that then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton did not direct the response to the pair of nighttime attacks in Libya.

This is the concluding piece of my MIND super series comprising the mini series THE POWER OF A MEDITATIVE MIND and THE ACTIVATED MIND. I will be teaching from proverbs 4:20-23 and Psalms 119:11,15-16. Before I continue, I want to encourage you to read the previous posts (if you didn't read them before) because of continuity,so you can have a seamless understanding of the series. Paul said in 2Cor 5:17 that the man in Christ is a new man and this includes new opportunities and capabilities,one of which is discerning the will of God. This makes the mind of the new man vitally able to interpret divine intent and evaluate eternal matters in the light of divine councel-the revealed word. God's word is the agency by which the mind of the man in Christ expresses godlikess: we were made in his image to look like him and in his likeness to function like him. The Psalmist said "thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee". As far as the new man in Christ is concerned, whatsoever is not of fait ...

Benghazi: Protecting The Throne As a result of the May 8th House of Representatives Committee hearing on the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya three chilling conclusions can be drawn. First, the four Americans who were killed were abandoned by the very government they so bravely served. Days prior to the attack Ambassador Chris Stevens and others on his staff pointed out to the State Department that the security situation in Libya was deteriorating. There had already been a car bomb attack on the Consulate in Benghazi and an attempt had been made on the life of the British ambassador. Therefore, Ambassador Stevens wanted an increase in security personnel. Yet, despite these reports and the fact that the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 was rapidly approaching these requests were denied and orders were issued actually reducing the number of security personnel already assigned to the Ambassador. Then when the attacks began on September 11th, there is clear evidence th ...

So in july, private vehicles can only buy 3 liters of petrol per day.that includes you right Mr. President? Since obviously whatever rule and law applies to the people must apply to ALL Citizens of a nation with no exception since no one is above the LAW. This means Mr. President, that in a day you will make frequent stops at the gas station to get your 3 liter quota and will most likely be late to ALL of your meetings and appointments. Don't even get me started on when you have to go to the Airport and greet another head of state, whereby you have to depart the state palace 3 hours in advance to Accommodate your frequent stops at the gas station to fill in your 3 liters of petrol to make it to the airport.

A few facts about Benghazi. See how many you already knew. From my friend Emir: I don't know much about Jeanine Pirro, except she nails the Benghazi *** to the barn wall better than most. It's 455 miles across the Gulf of Sidra from Tripoli to Benghazi. That's a 45 minute flight by air. A U.S. Special Forces operation team in Tripoli was about to board a Libyan C-130 and make that flight to Benghazi while two of the four American personnel who died in the Benghazi attack that night were still alive — until, that is, the Commander in Chief of the United States stood them down and went to bed for a good night's snooze before flying Air Force One out to Harry Reid's Las Vegas the next morning for an election fundraiser in the "Cashman Center". While Hillary Clinton and her top State Department staff were madly falsifying CIA reports and inventing a false narrative about an obscure video to cover her criminally malfeasant *** and protect Barack Obama's election flanks. No one should ever have believe ...

THIS IS A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF WHY JOHN BRENNAN IS NOW HEAD OF CIA... HE HAS A DIRTY DARK PAST CONNECTION WITH HUSSEIN OBAMA... READ THE WHOLE STORY.. ~Rebel via John Gaultier Here is an excerpt: "The New York Times noted the two offending State Department contract employees who were fired had worked for Stanley Inc., a company based in Arlington, Va., while the reprimanded worker continued to be employed by the Analysis Corporation of McLean, Va. The newspaper gave no background on either corporation, other than to note that Stanley Inc. did “computer work for the government.” At that time, Stanley Inc. was a 3,500-person technology firm that had just won a $570-million contract to provide computer-related passport services to the State Department. Analysis Corporation was headed by Brennan, a former CIA agent who was then serving as an adviser on intelligence and foreign policy to Sen. Obama’s presidential campaign.

Paul: The moment of responsibility for Hillary Clinton Her fatal mistakes mirror the disaster at Mogadishu By Sen. Rand Paul, Friday, May 10, 2013 When I took Hillary Clinton to task in January for the mishandling of security in Benghazi, I told her that if I had been president at the time I would have relieved her of her post. Some politicians and pundits took offense at my line of questioning. During those hearings, I reminded Sec. Clinton that multiple requests were sent to the State Department asking for increased security measures. I asked if she had read the cables from Ambassador Chris Stevens asking for increased security. She replied that she was busy and had not read them. I find that inexcusable. Four months later, we are hearing that Sec. Clinton allegedly withheld information from a counter-terrorism bureau during the response. We are hearing new allegations that Special Forces wanting to respond during the attacks were told, "you can't go" by superiors. Ambassador Stevens' deputy Gregory Hic ...

This is about the TRUTH. The right to TRUTH is universal, and if you believe otherwise your principles and morals are dead. This is about a State Department who knows the TRUTH and has actively operated to lie, misdirect, intimidate and silence the TRUTH – in two words “COVER UP.” You are defending a State Department who IGNORED numerous requests for reinforcement in the months leading up to 9/11/12; who DENIED any response from nearby military resources to those desperately calling for help; who witnessed live drone video feed of the attacks; who knew the actions were communicated as attacks from the beginning; who crafted and delivered LIES to Americans and the world to COVER UP the truth; who continued to communicate the LIE for at least 2 weeks following; who INTIMIDATED, demoted, and threaten ...

Gregory Hicks, the Libya Deputy Mission Chief, testified that he called an acting assistant secretary to dispute Susan Rice’s claim made on Sunday news shows, that the attack was prompted by a video. Hicks said he was told to drop that line of questioning. Hicks further testified that, during the following month, his performance was criticized by superiors, including receiving a “blistering critique” of his management style. Hicks made it clear he felt he was being punished for refusing to go along with the administration narrative, and in fact was demoted. Hicks also testified that Cheryl Mills, then Chief of Staff for Hillary Clinton, told him he could not speak to Rep. Jason Chaffetz, when Chaffetz traveled to Libya to investigate, without a State Department attorney present. Hicks called the attorney “the minder”—in other words, the person assigned to monitor what Hicks said. Mark Thompson, an official with the State Department counterterrorism unit, testified that the Foreign Emergency Su ...

Great article on Benghazi...I like how VDH links this event to Watergate or Iran-Contra!!! The mainstream media is finally covering this story!!! NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE WWW.NATIONALREVIEW.COM PRINT Is Benghazi Becoming a Watergate, or Iran-Contra, or Both? By Victor Davis Hanson Benghazi cannot be dismissed with “long ago” or “what difference does it make” exasperation, given it may have the cover-up and civil-liberties aspects of Watergate and the weapon-transfers and foreign-policy implications of Iran-Contra. 1. Can a State Department be credible that on its own accord seeks to alter intelligence synopses, and deny facts to maintain a pre-election narrative? For all the criticism of the State Department under most Republican presidents, at least the tension between State and the administration kept State honest and independent. But Benghazi shows that State has now almost descended into an arm of the 2012 reelection effort, in the manner of the media itself, as we saw in Candy Crowley’s exas ...

(PP)- Wednesday 108 FBI and Department of Homeland Security officers joined two U.S. State Department diplomats assigned to North Korea in walking off their jobs in a protest against White House officials who have undercut their authority.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday that former secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton should return to Capitol Hill -- under subpoena if necessary -- to answer new questions about the attacks on a U.S. consulate in Libya that left four Americans dead. Graham said the account of the Benghazi assaults last Sept. 11 offered by Clinton and other Obama administration officials had been undercut in congressional testimony Wednesday by three State Department officials, including Gregory Hicks, the No. 2 U.S. official in Libya at the time.

The truth is just the opposite. The earliest report – indeed, the very last words of Ambassador Stevens to his second in command – indicated right from the get-go that the embassy was under assault. No on the spot report mentions a protest. Even before the assaults had ended, intelligence officials had concluded, according to a report in the Weekly Standard written by Steven Hayes, “that al Qaeda-linked terrorists were involved. Senior administration officials, however, sought to obscure the emerging picture and downplay the significance of attacks that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. The frantic process that produced the changes to the talking points took place over a 24-hour period just one day before Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, made her now-famous appearances on the Sunday television talk shows. The discussions involved senior officials from the State Department, the National Security Council, the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ...

It was February 9th, in the year 1950, on Abraham Lincoln's birthday when an unknown Senator from Wisconsin gave a speech that catapulted himself into the national spotlight with the start of what would be an unprecedented rampage of smear attacks, unsupported allegations, and personal vilifications against other Senators, the State Department, the Army, and the law. On that Thursday afternoon junior Senator Joseph McCarthy flew from Washington D.C. to Wheeling for the first of his scheduled speeches that would include stops in Wheeling, Virginia, Salt Lake City, Utah, Reno, Nevada, and Huron, South Dakota. He could not know that this day would forever live in infamy for the United States Senate. Most people outside the Senate and not from his state would have not even known who Joe McCarthy was. He ws greeted by a local congressman, a local civic leader, and one reporter.

A web of lies: Much to Barack Obama's chagrin, the murder of our ambassador and others Americans in Benghazi just won't go away. Nor should it. Testimony yesterday by a career State Department official on scene in Tripoli during the attacks made clear that there was never any confusion that this was a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11. The American people were insultingly spun a different tale by a President who put the politics of his campaign ahead of everything else. The fact that career State Department officer Gregory Hicks was then threatened by Mrs. Clinton's chief of staff--and subsequently demoted for speaking the truth--is beyond shameful.

By a former Hillary supporter .I know she has lost all my support State Department whistleblowers appeared on Wednesday before the House Government Operations and Reform Committee and proceeded to blow major holes in the deceitful narrative pushed by both Obama’s White House and Hillary’s State Department. Hillary in particular was damaged significantly today and exposed as the liar and bully many on the right have long claimed she is. As a former supporter of Hillary–I worked closely with her campaign in 2008 to promote her candidacy and contributed financially to her campaign–I am sickened by what I heard today. If you have read some of the desperate comments and spin form Hillary and Obama surrogates on previous posts, you are quite familiar with their desperation and delusion. So let’s be very clear and precise about what we know. First, in stark contrast to the initial claim from both Hillary and the White House that the attack on our diplomats and intelligence personnel in Benghazi last Se ...

Rep. Trey Gowdy cited a letter written by a State Department official on September 12 that asserted that “the group that conducted the attacks … is affiliated with Islamic terrorists."

Greg Hicks says that Susan Rice never consulted State Department officials in Libya before making her Sunday Show appearances (May 8, 2013).

The Conservative Insurgent What difference does it make? It matters. Just ask Eric Nordstrom, who had to choke back tears as he began testifying today. Or Gregory Hicks, who was “effectively demoted” for daring to question the State Department. Ask the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. It matters. Truth matters. And justice must be served for the four men murdered in Benghazi. And Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Leon Panetta, Joe Biden, and Jay Carney must answer for their roles in this cover-up. Their actions/inaction's are nothing less than treason, murder, and treachery.

There are costs to being a "whistleblower"! Hick's testifies that after his removal as Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya and before his newest assignment, he had NO income. What's the new, great job that the State Department has given to someone who had previously been universally praised on every account? To man a desk.sr

Jack Cashill Jack Cashill is an Emmy-award winning independent writer and producer with a Ph.D. in American Studies from Purdue. “The [Benghazi] testimony this week could be devastating to the Obama administration and to Hillary Clinton who ran the State Department at the time,” Bill O’Reilly opined earlier this week. But O’Reilly – and everyone who tracks the media – recognized one unfortunate fact: When it comes to Hillary Clinton there is a huge difference between “could be” and “will be.” Hillary has been lying to the American people since her first major TV appearance in January 1992 on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” At that time, she and Bill were scrambling to save his candidacy in the wake of the steamy Gennifer Flowers revelations. When Steve Kroft asked Bill if he had an affair with Flowers, he answered, “That allegation is false.” Hillary, her hands lovingly intertwined with Bill’ ...

You know what irks me MORE than the propoganda story (known at the time to be FALSE) by noted liar, Rice on FIVE Sunday talk shows, blaming Benghazi on some Youtube video? The FACT (now exposed) that she got that story from Cliinton's State Department (Rice's boss) and that Clinton AND Obama repeated the fraudulent story several times themselves, including Obama's lying to the world at the United Nations speech. Four Americans died, so that Obama could have a better chance at winning re-election! Disgusting! BTW, me and many others knew about all this right after the terrorist attacks at Benghazi happened.

FOXERS! The lies are seeping out. A new email train dating back to the Friday before Ambassador Rice made her famous five Sunday talk show appearances has now surfaced. Apparently- certain officials at the State Department were bent on covering themselves from negative implications in the Benghazi attack which is why they struck the truth from the talking points which were later delivered by Susan Rice. It appears it actually made a difference after all. Antone & Leigh :)

It's also clear that Victoria Nuland supplied the bogus info the Rice blindly ran with, to protect the State Department.

FINALLY! FoxNews hung in there with this, and now the Main Stream Media, starting with CBS, are being "pulled in" to have to deal with it as well. ---QUOTE: Bob Schieffer now carries the mantle of "elder statesman" at CBS News.

When the seasoned veteran at the network makes a proclamation about a political story, it carries weight. Sunday on "Face the Nation", Schieffer used this stature to raise the stakes on the unfolding scandal surrounding the State Department and the Obama White House. Schieffer used the "C-word": Cover-up.

disarmament" of the American people Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Monday, July 16, 2012 The UN Arms Trade Treaty that has been identified by observers as a flagrant threat to the second amendment and which Barack Obama is determined to sign has its roots in a 1961 State Department memorandum which explains how the United Nations will oversee "complete disarmament" of the American people under the ruse of preventing war. The UN Arms Treaty has caused so much controversy because it outlines a plan to target "all types of conventional weapons, notably including small arms and light weapons," according to Forbes' Larry Bell. Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton also warns that the agreement "is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but there is no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control." A letter sent last month by 130 Republican House members to President Obama argued that the treaty should be rejected because ...
