Did Barack Obama try to discredit foreign policy expert Andy Martin who blew the whistle on Benghazi-gate?
Republican foreign policy expert and New
Hampshire corruption-fighter Andy Martin “blew the
whistle” on Benghazi-gate on September
12th. Before anyone else in government or politics would come to Governor
Mitt Romney’s defense, Andy Martin stood up and stood out and defended Romney’s
criticism of the Obama regime. While “Washington Republicans” were undermining
Romney, Andy Martin stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the governor. On September 12th Andy predicted that “Obama’s
foreign policy collapse is now the paramount reason to remove him from the
White House.” In response, President Obama’s lackeys may have used The
Associated Press to counterattack and discredit Andy. The effort backfired. The
record documents that Andy Martin was the first analyst to recognize both the military
significance and the political significance the “Benghazi-gate” attacks would
play in the presidential campaign.

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Republican
Party foreign policy expert and New Hampshire corruption-fighter Andy
Martin was first to analyze and disclose the significance of Benghazi-gate – on
September 12th
Andy
was and is a strong supporter of Governor Mitt Romney
Andy
says President Obama’s operatives may have tried to use The Associated Press to
undermine and discredit Andy’s prescient commentary on Benghazi-gate
(Manchester, NH)
(October 14, 2012) Republican
Party foreign policy expert and New Hampshire activist Andy Martin was the
first foreign policy analyst to defend Governor Mitt Romney and to disclose the
domestic political impact of the September 11th attacks on the U. S. Consulate
in Benghazi, Libya. His views:
I. The long history of conflict between Barack and Andy
In 2004 I wrote the first disclosure that Barack Obama’s
“autobiography” was mostly fiction. I asked the publisher to put Obama’s book on
the “fiction” shelves, not the biography section. Obama was very irritated that
I had scored a bull’s eye on his credibility. During the 2008 presidential
campaign I disclosed major new aspects of Obama’s “hidden history,” culminating
in a national appearance on “Sean Hannity’s America”
where I accused Obama of being a “socialist” (link below). I was the first
independent investigator to go to Hawai’i
to dig for the truth about Obama; what I discovered there has increasingly
become accepted doctrine in the conservative community. The Obama campaign took
notice of my criticism.
II. Obama’s long history of attempts to discredit Andy
Martin
Obama’s initial retaliation against me took the form of
cyber attacks. Later, in October, 2008 Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs went
on “Hannity and Colmes” and accused Hannity of being an “anti-Semite” because
Hannity had me as a guest on his program (despite George Soros’ relentless
attacks on Hannity and me, neither I nor Hannity are anti-Semites; Gibbs’
attack was just another diversionary attack). Obama assets later attacked me in
New Hampshire. On September 19th, 2012 Obama &
Company may have used The Associated Press to discredit my exposure of
Benghazi-gate and my prediction that the murder of American diplomats would
doom Obama’s reelection.
Take a look at the facts and look closely at the time-line.
Then you be the judge.
III. Andy Martin’s
chilling predictions on September 5th
On September 5th I filed a column (links below) accusing
Hillary Clinton of “undermining the war on terror” and calling for her
resignation. I made my accusation during the same period when Clinton
was denying adequate security to her diplomatic staff in Libya.
I outlined how Hillary Clinton’s loyalty to the “Clinton Global Initiative”
created a conflict with U. S.
security interests overseas.
In retrospect, my claim that I sometimes “see over the
horizon before our own diplomats do” proved to be tragically accurate a week
later.
IV. Andy Martin comes to the defense of Mitt Romney
On September 11th Al Qaeda associates launched a terrorist attack
on the U. S. Consulate in Benghazi.
The liberal media immediately attacked Governor Mitt Romney for his criticism
of the Obama administration’s response to the earlier Cairo
"video" demonstrations. Obama & Co., through their media parrots,
accused Romney or “undermining” foreign policy. I vigorously defended Romney
and said that Benghazi-gate would “doom President Obama to reelection defeat”
(links below; read the entire story). I expressly defended Romney against
attacks by “Washington Republicans.” I further predicted “Obama's foreign
failures are coming crashing down on him just as he runs for reelection at
home.”
I focused on the seriousness of the Benghazi
attack long before anyone else would step up to defend Governor Romney.
Belatedly, everyone is now supporting Romney. But on September 12th Republicans
were wringing their hands at Romney's honesty and his forthright criticism of
Obama's failed foreign “apology policy.” I defended the governor before it was
safe and popular to do so. And I also provided the “first look” into both the political
and diplomatic significance of Benghazi-gate.
IV. The Associated Press attempts to undermine Andy
Martin
As though acting on cue for the Obama administration, on
September 19th The Associated Press mysteriously ran a national story which
appeared on every major web site in the United
States calling me a “legend in my own mind”
and referring to me as a “self-proclaimed Republican foreign policy expert.” There
was nothing whatsoever that I had done to justify a national story. The
Associated Press distributes stories locally, regionally or nationally based on
their importance; a national or “A-Wire” story carries national importance.
What had I done to justify national attention by AP? Well,
in the AP’s snide words, “nothing.” I was an “imaginary” expert. Why would AP
be covering an “imaginary” and “self-proclaimed” foreign policy analyst? Makes
you wonder.
V. Why is Andy different from “Washington
Republicans” and liberal media “experts?”
I have not had a conventional career. I started out in politics,
segued into political intelligence, was educated as a lawyer and became a
foreign policy expert in dangerous places around the world (see listing below).
I have a track record of accurate analysis. The liberal media’s “experts” do
not. You can check my predictions going back to Iraq
in 2003. My views were not popular then. I predicted the ultimate failure of
the invasion.
I am a “classic conservative” critic, which means I take a
conservative view of life. I am not a conservative weenie who swallows the
conservative party line without question. So, instead of having “one” career, I
have had several careers, sometimes simultaneously. And, my multiple experiences
all provide me with a multi-dimensional or polymathic perspective on each new
challenge. That’s why I claim to occasionally “see over the horizon.” Been
there, done that.
VI. Andy against exposes Obama’s chaos in the Middle
East
On September 23rd I again analyzed the growing chaos in Obama’s
foreign policy (links blow), calling the “Libya-video” story a “canard” and
again calling for Hillary Clinton’s resignation. Here is part of what I said on
September 23rd:
“With every passing day the Benghazi disaster and the murder of our ambassador becomes the
most serious foreign policy fiasco since Jimmy Carter’s Iran hostage crisis. Hillary Clinton has appointed a
‘committee’ to study her own incompetence. Wow.
“Obama’s U. N. ambassador claimed the Libya attack was due to a ‘video.’ Obama’s news secretary
repeated the ‘video’ canard. President Obama went on Univision and said he
‘didn’t have all the facts,’ which is a form of paranoid schizophrenic defense
mechanism.
VII. The bottom line:
Obama lied; Andy exposed the truth
In retrospect it all looks so orderly. I predicted on September
5th Clinton was “endangering” Americans.
On September 12th I defended Mitt Romney after the consulate attack. On September
19th The Associated Press mysteriously published a national story saying I was
an imaginary expert and specifically referencing my own news story of September
12. On September 23rd I made new predictions which have been validated by
subsequent events.
I am writing this column for two reasons: First, I would
like to defend my own national security and foreign policy credentials as
compared with those of other media that lack my experience in the real world.
Second, the events of the past month reflect how the national media relentlessly
seek to discredit and undermine critics of President Obama by ridiculing their
qualifications and experience. Maybe that’s why Barack Obama’s own operatives
have been using the media to attack me for the past several years. They are
afraid of the truth, and they are afraid of me. You be the judge. (This should
be the end of the story.)
OK, a column based on accurate predictions should make
another prediction. Lawyers have an old rubric about clients that don’t pay
their bills. The saying goes, “Clients should never refuse to pay either their
lawyers or their accountants. They could run into “problems.” Here’s the
prediction: Presidents and vice presidents should never dump on their diplomats
and intelligence agencies. They could run into “problems.” Obama’s attempt to blame
the clandestine services for his own failures in Libya
will boomerang and backfire.
[Andy has over forty years of familiarity with Asia and the Middle East;
he is regarded overseas as one of America’s most respected independent foreign policy, military and
intelligence analysts. His analysis of the terrorist threat in Iran during the 1979-80 hostage crisis, and again in Iraq in 2003, were leading-edge predictions of what Americans
faced in the future.
Andy first went to Asia
in 1967 and since then he has been in Israel,
Jordan, Libya,
Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, Lebanon,
Iraq, Iran,
Afghanistan, Viet-Nam,
Cambodia, Laos,
Thailand, Burma
and Hong Kong. He was in Iran
and Afghanistan
in 1979-80, and has regularly returned to Southwest Asia
since then. He lived in Iraq
in 2003.]
