UK news media outlets blanketed their front pages with allegations and reports that the United States was warned 48 hours in advance to the Libya chaos that an attack would happen. As expected, the Obama Administration has now denied those allegations.. This at the same time that Egypt intelligence was warned on September 4 of possible attacks..
There was also some interesting information reported by the Rachel Maddow show last night concerning a cable written in 2008, and a leak from Wikileaks involving Ambassador Christopher Stevens..
Maddow--and lots of others with sense--are showcasing how the violence taking place across numerous countries now is not a result specifically of the movie INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS, no matter how much the media attempts to frame it that way. There are deeper issues involved. However, a movie inciting violence provides an easy cover sheet on top of a book filled with gory details. In truth, this was bound to occur after Qaddaffi's death--and after we helped his enemies kill him, people who were oncAe our enemies and appear to be again. Sometimes chess matches in foreign policy get ugly.
But speaking of that movie, INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS, there are some interesting facts regarding it. And there are some interesting mysteries engulfing it. Namely this: Who made it!!? According to rules, any movie shot in California has to receive a permit beforehand. The permit names the directors and those in charge of the film. According to the AP Thursday, "authorities believe that a 55-year-old Coptic Christian, a US citizen named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, is behind the film. A convicted felon, Mr. Nakoula has changed his version of events numerous times in interviews with various news outlets." According to the chain of events being published, a permit was issued to MEDIA FOR CHRIST to shoot the ridiculous film INNOCENCE FOR MUSLIMS. According to documents being reported on, there was a permit issued to film for one single day in August 2011. The mystery of the movie will surely continue to develop..
In the meantime, US missions are now braced for chaos and fear spreading protests.
All the tension in the world.
Oh, and if that's not enough warfare broiling for you just yet, read this: There are increasing tensions as China surveillance ships enter waters claimed by Japan. .. Sigh...
