Finally the truth about the YouTube video Hillary blamed for Benghazi.

The last thing Hillary Clinton wants you to read is the truth about the infamous YouTube video she claimed sparked the Benghazi attacks. That’s why Cindy Lee Garcia—the deceived actress from the video—is Hillary's worst nightmare. She woke up the day after the Benghazi attacks to see her face all over national television, with Hillary blaming her for the deaths of four Americans.

New York Times best-selling author Kenneth R. Timmerman digs deep into the web of deception surrounding the “hateful” video, with stunning new documents, emails, and interviews with many of the participants.

This is the story of a deception that went way beyond a YouTube video to encompass Hillary Clinton’s diabolical vision for America under Islamic law.

My first Middle East reporting trip took me to Beirut in July 1982, and I've been going back ever since. I've lived in Egypt and Lebanon, have worked with freedom fighters in Iran and Iraq, and been held hostage by Muslim terrorists in a war zone. All of that is the subject of my latest book, And the Rest Is History.

My forthcoming book, Raising Olives in Provence, is a change of pace, a laugh-out-loud account of the south of France from someone who has gotten to know the region and its people intimately over the past twenty years.

Very detailed and informative. Also disturbing and thought provoking. Dark Forces was an excellent book and brought the hidden agenda and lying abilities of American leadership to light, however Deception was much more unsettling in that it showed how run of the mill citizens could be targeted to achieve their ends. And the lengths they will go to and influence they will use to achieve those ends. It also creates a wide open space for critical thinking to run amok on what the actual end game may be while laying out clearly that no means are out of bounds for achieving it.

I took off one star because the start of the book is confusing with too many names and not enough connections. My respect for Ken Timmerman and his work kept me going and I'm glad I did. Why the Obama administration wanted to deliberately mislead us is not clear, but the facts that they did are. It also appears that lives could have been saved in Benghazi had the State Department acted on intelligence they had.

By promoting a false scenario that the Benghazi attack was in response to a video less than 500 had viewed before it was promoted as the cause, Cindy Lee Garcia was victimized. Timmerman tells her story well, along with the legal team that took on the government and Google on her behalf. Timmerman footnotes his sources. An advantage of the Kindle version is that one can click on links to learn more.

I became aware of the book and that the hard copy sold out its first edition in an interview Timmerman did with Jimmy DeYoung on prophecy today.com for July 23. The land of the free and the home of the brave is being led by people with hidden agendas they think are better for us than we can decide for ourselves.

Great book, well written, sad information. It's really sad that we are where we are with this whole thing and sadder that people were accused and slandered - even threatened - and had done nothing wrong or offensive. Thank you, Ken Timmerman!

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016
This book by Ken Timmerman contains several blockbuster claims that match Wag the Dog deception in their audacity -- claims backed with evidence ranging from extremely solid to highly plausible. In the former category is the assertion that neither the Cairo riots on September 11, 2012, nor the Benghazi attacks that began later that night were inspired by the infamous YouTube video produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the shady Coptic Egyptian living in Southern California.

By now informed observers concede the latter point, but most are unaware of the evidence demonstrating that the earlier Cairo riot had long been focused on demanding release of the Blind Sheikh. As Timmerman puts it, the one-minute, thirty second “Arabic language trailer, which virtually nobody had actually seen, was only tacked on at the last minute to attract additional bodies to a demonstration in front of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that had long been in the works. It did not drive the crowds, or the organizers. It was simply an afterthought.” Indeed, on September 10, in an interview with the Blind Sheikh’s son and the brother of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, CNN reporter Nic Robertson explained, “This is the protest calling for the release of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman” -- an interview that all but disappeared from CNN’s website after the media eagerly adopted Obama and Clinton’s YouTube spin on both Cairo and Benghazi.

In Deception, Timmerman provides an Afterword that focuses on the Iranian Quds Force commanders who were actually behind the well-organized and long-planned Benghazi raid. Anyone desiring more details on that attack, however, should consult Timmerman’s previous work, Dark Forces: The Truth About Benghazi (2014). Even when it became obvious (after the Presidential election) that the White House YouTube explanation was deceptive, little information was provided about the terrorists actually involved -- and none was disseminated about the central role played by an Iranian regime the Administration was eager to portray as a reasonable treaty partner.

Perhaps the most damning assertion in Deception is the claim, backed by substantial evidence, that the Obama Administration intentionally promoted the YouTube video so that, in the aftermath of Benghazi, it actually became a cause celebre in the Muslim world. Obviously the “promotion” of the video was accomplished via denunciation, but the $70,000 spent for air time on seven Pakistani television channels “only served to further inflame Muslims and to spark more violent protests: 83 in all, by the time it died down a month later.” Journalists facilitated this audacious project by gullibly repeating the blame-the-video narrative that was “pre-cooked and spoon-fed” to them “by anonymous sources at the State Department and the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.”

The shadowy internet vehicle for widespread dissemination of the video was NewsPoliticsNow, whose NPN3 channel not only removed the video after it went viral but also went off the air and “erased all trace of its existence -- at least to ordinary users.” NewsPoliticsNow appears to be related to a company called Stanley, Inc. which, according to its website “provides services to the U.S. federal, civilian, defense and intelligence agencies.” Stanley, Inc., in turn, has as its corporate parent, CGI, the group that “won the initial $678 million contract to build the Obamacare website” and whose Senior Vice-President, Toni Townes-Whitley has “long-standing ties to First Lady Michelle Obama.” Moreover, other top Stanley and CGI execs “are big Democrat party donors” and CGI Federal president, Donna A. Ryan “enjoyed high-level access to top Obama administration officials.”

In short, Timmerman provides readers with numerous indicators that the Obama administration helped the video go viral while creating the impression that they had “absolutely nothing to do with it.” The immediate goal of this deception was to deflect responsibility from the administration for the disaster in Benghazi, but another benefit was to create public pressure for what became (via Nakoula’s dubious imprisonment) backdoor enforcement of blasphemy laws in the U.S. After all, Secretary Clinton not only promised grieving relatives that the maker of the video would be punished, she also “embraced news laws banning blasphemy as Secretary of State and instructed the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to vote in favor of them, reversing years of U.S. opposition.” UN Resolution 16/18, which includes serious restrictions on free speech, was apparently being utilized by DOJ official, Tom Perez, when, instead of assuring Congressman Trent Franks that the Department of Justice would “never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against a religion” instead responded by criticizing “hate speech” and “racist speech” -- a detour consistent with Perez’s past support for the idea that criticism of Islam constitutes racial discrimination.

Unfortunately, the preceding topics constitute less than half of Timmerman’s book. The rest of the work is largely devoted to the legal and personal woes of Cindy Lee Garcia, the actress who, unwittingly, portrayed the mother of the young pre-pubescent girl (Aisha) given to Muhammad as one of his many brides. While Cindy’s story merits inclusion on a summary basis (especially in light of Google’s unusual unwillingness to remove the offensive video promptly and that corporate giant’s close White House ties) many readers will be distracted by the space devoted to Cindy’s thoughts and travails. Yes, Google and probably the White House were putting Cindy through a legal and personal hell, but at the same time dozens of folks were being killed abroad because of the Administration’s strategy of deception. Meanwhile, the American public was being bamboozled in the midst of a Presidential election. Finally, the video-maker wound up in prison for several months, for what was, de facto if not de jure, a blasphemy charge. Anyone wishing to focus primarily on the major issues outlined in the review above might want to employ other Timmerman materials -- or read this book selectively.

Since that day, September 11, 2012, I have waited for something that would make sense of the debacle now only referred to be me as "Benghazi". The story throughout the book, which is so true to its title, finally, after exposing that story, leads the author to the answers I have longed for. The who, what and how the attack, the deaths and the cover-up of Benghazi occupied, with bona fide witnesses. My next question is why? The reasoning may have been to steer that election, but what was Chris Stevens doing there, really, and why was he sacrificed?

This is superb reporting. I read it in 4 hours. I could not put it down. Particularly the last couple of chapters about Iran's Red Crescent (Muslim red Cross) connection to Benghazi. Obama and Clinton lied and people died. This is the worst administration in the history of this country. Nixon lied about a list of Democrat party donors. Obama and Clinton have lied about Benghazi, Libya, Iran, emails, the Clinton Foundation. People were murdered because of this administration.
