#2304: Marine Tracks Serco Visa-Ammo Mortar Murders Through Base-One Server To Clinton Banker's Black-Hand Spoofs of State

Plum City - (AbelDanger.net): United States Marine Field McConnell has linked Serco's visa-ammo mortar murders of two former SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, on the roof of the CIA annex in Benghazi on 9/12/12 through Base One Technologies' honey-pot server in the Bronx to ongoing Black Hand* navigators' spoofs of the State Department by Clinton Foundation banker, HSBC.

CIA Requests For Help in Benghazi Attack Denied
 



Black Hand* – HSBC's long-range drug-hub navigators with a Serco "License to Track, Film and Kill" for the City of London's Honourable Artillery Company 1537; Master Mariners and Air Pilots (formerly GAPAN) 1929, and Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts 1638 – whose alumni include U.S. Presidents James Monroe, Chester Alan Arthur, Calvin Coolidge and John F. Kennedy and – perhaps – Barack 'Choom Gang' Obama.

McConnell notes that Serco banker HSBC's clients in Geneva have financed the Clinton Foundation from its launch in 2001 and financed the State Department's Base One honeypot server in the Bronx, launched on February 15, 1994 by then-Secretary of State Colin Powell.

McConnell notes that the Clinton administration outsourced the operation of the National Visa Center and the Base One honey-pot server to Serco in 1994 while the Obama administration outsourced the operation of the U.S. Defense Ammunition Center to Serco in 2009.
"The military attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli told Congress the first attack showed some advance planning.  The Libyan police officer guarding the diplomatic compound fled as it began.
The defence attaché, whose name wasn't released, suggested the attackers "had something on the shelf" — an outline of a plan based on previously obtained information about the compound and its security measures, so they were ready to strike when the opportunity arose.
"They came in, and they had a sense of purpose, and I think it sometimes gets confused because you had looters and everyone else coming in," he said. "It was less than kind of full, thought-out, methodical."
Ham testified that the second attack, which killed security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty at the annex a mile from the diplomatic compound where the assault began the night before, showed clear military training. It was probably the work of a new team of militants, taking advantage after reports of violence at the first site and American vulnerability.
2nd attack showed 'degree of sophistication' "Given the precision of the attack, it was a well-trained mortar crew, and in my estimation they probably had a well-trained observer," said Ham, who headed the U.S. command in Africa. The second attack showed "a degree of sophistication and military training that is relatively unusual and certainly, I think, indicates that this was not a pickup team. This was not a couple of guys who just found a mortar someplace."
McConnell believes HSBC clients spoofed the Clinton State Department with an "Innocence of Muslims" video, apparently webcast through the Base One server to trigger a mob attack on the Benghazi mission and serve as a decoy for the visa-ammo mortar murders at the CIA annexe.

McConnell believes that HSBC clients used the Base One server to spoof Hillary Clinton and the State Department into expecting a mob attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi on 9/11/12 when the real target was the nearby CIA Annexe, a vital hub in the supply chain used by Black Hand navigators to feed Serco visas and ammo to ISIS crime groups in Syria and Northern Iraq.

McConnell believes that HSBC spoofed the Clinton State Department into outsourcing security in Benghazi to Black Hand navigators with the Blue Mountain Group who allegedly used Serco visas and ammo and Base One drone intelligence to ambush and kill Doherty and Woods.

EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
Published October 26, 2012

 Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11. 
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down." 


Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight. 


At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. 


CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood, though, denied the claims that requests for support were turned down."


"Benghazi attacks likely involved 2 distinct groups, U.S. military chief says
Testimony of Gen. Carter Ham, former U.S. Africa Command chief, was released Wednesday
The Associated Press Posted: Jul 09, 2014 11:28 PM ET Last Updated: Jul 09, 2014 11:28 PM ET

Newly revealed testimony from top military commanders involved in the U.S. response to the Benghazi attacks suggests that the perpetrators of a second, dawn attack on a CIA complex probably were different from those who penetrated the U.S. diplomatic mission the evening before and set it ablaze, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and another American.


The second attack, which killed two security contractors, showed clear military training, retired Gen. Carter Ham told Congress in closed-door testimony released late Wednesday. The assault probably was the work of a new team of militants, seizing on reports of violence at the diplomatic mission the night before and hitting the Americans while they were most vulnerable.


The testimony, which The Associated Press was able to read ahead of its release, could clarify for the first time the events of Sept. 11, 2012, that have stirred bitter recriminations in the U.S., including Republican-led congressional investigations and campaign-season denunciations of the Obama administration, which made inaccurate statements about the Libyan attacks.
The testimony underscores a key detail that sometimes has been lost in the debate: that the attacks were two distinct events over two days on two different buildings, perhaps by unrelated groups.


1st attack remains mysterious


The U.S. government still has not fully characterized the first attack in which, according to Ham and eight other military officers, men who seemed familiar with the lightly protected diplomatic compound breached it and set it on fire, killing Stevens and communications specialist Sean Smith. A disorganized mob of looters then overran the facility.


'Given the precision of the attack, it was a well-trained mortar crew, and in my estimation they probably had a well-trained observer ... This was not a couple of guys who just found a mortar someplace.'- Gen. Carter Ham, during Congressional testimony


In testimony to two House panels earlier this year, the officers said that commanders didn't have the information they needed to understand the nature of the attack, that they were unaware of the extent of the U.S. presence in Benghazi at the time and they were convinced erroneously for a time that they were facing a hostage crisis without the ability to move military assets into place that would be of any use.
The testimony reveals how little information the military had on which to base an urgent response.


Two House panels — Armed Services and Oversight and Government Reform — conducted interviews with the nine officers on separate days from January to April.
Four Americans died in Benghazi, including Stevens. To this day, despite the investigations, it's not clear if the violence resulted from a well-planned, multiphase military-type assault or from a loosely connected, escalating chain of events.


1st assault not 'methodical'


In their testimony, military officials expressed some uncertainty about the first attack, describing protests and looting in an assault that lasted about 45 minutes.
The military attaché to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli told Congress the first attack showed some advance planning. The Libyan police officer guarding the diplomatic compound fled as it began.


The defence attaché, whose name wasn't released, suggested the attackers "had something on the shelf" — an outline of a plan based on previously obtained information about the compound and its security measures, so they were ready to strike when the opportunity arose.


"They came in, and they had a sense of purpose, and I think it sometimes gets confused because you had looters and everyone else coming in," he said. "It was less than kind of full, thought-out, methodical."


Ham testified that the second attack, which killed security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty at the annex a mile from the diplomatic compound where the assault began the night before, showed clear military training. It was probably the work of a new team of militants, taking advantage after reports of violence at the first site and American vulnerability.


2nd attack showed 'degree of sophistication'


"Given the precision of the attack, it was a well-trained mortar crew, and in my estimation they probably had a well-trained observer," said Ham, who headed the U.S. command in Africa. The second attack showed "a degree of sophistication and military training that is relatively unusual and certainly, I think, indicates that this was not a pickup team. This was not a couple of guys who just found a mortar someplace."
 
Ham said the nearly eight-hour time lapse between the two attacks also seemed significant. "If the team (that launched the second attack) was already there, then why didn't they shoot sooner?" he asked.


"I think it's reasonable that a team came from outside of Benghazi," he said of the second attack in testimony on April 9. Violent extremists saw an opportunity "and said, `Let's get somebody there."' He also acknowledged that the absence of American security personnel on the ground soon enough after the first attack "allowed sufficient time for the second attack to be organized and conducted," he said.
Stevens had gone to Benghazi from the embassy in Tripoli to open a cultural centre, State Department officials said.
Obama, re-election, and 'talking points'


The attacks came as President Barack Obama was in a close re-election battle, campaigning in part on the contention that al-Qaeda no longer posed a significant threat to the United States and that, blending the economy and the fight against terrorism, General Motors was alive but "Osama bin Laden is dead." A terror attack on American assets could have damaged that argument.


Five days after the attack, after feverish email exchanges about her "talking points" among national security staff members and their spokesmen, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice linked the Benghazi attacks to protests in Tunisia and Cairo over an anti-Islam video. Weeks later, U.S. officials retracted that account but never fully articulated a new one.


Republicans seized on the inaccuracies, contending that the Obama administration was covering up a terror attack for political gain.


Several congressional and independent investigations have faulted the State Department for inadequate security, but they have not provided a full reading of who was involved in the violence, what the motives were and how they could pull off such a seemingly complicated, multipronged assault.


People on both sides of the debate tend to link the two incidents as one attack.


Confusion reigned


The congressional testimony that distinguishes the attacks came from military officials in Tripoli or, like Ham, coordinating the response in Washington. Most have never given a public account. But they agreed that confusion reigned from the outset.


"We're under attack," was the first report the military received from Benghazi. That message came from Stevens' entourage to Tripoli in the late afternoon of Sept. 11. Word was relayed to the defence attache, who reported up the chain of command.


That report gave no indication about the size or intensity of the attack.


The defence attache testified that the assault on the diplomatic mission was followed by a mob that complicated and confused the situation.


He said of the original attackers, "I don't think they were on the objective, so to speak, longer than 45 minutes. They kind of got on, did their business, and left." For hours after that, he said, there were looters and "people throwing stuff and you see the graffiti and things like that."


Once the first attack ended around 10 p.m., the military moved to evacuate Americans from Benghazi, while preparing for what it erroneously believed might have been an emerging hostage situation involving Stevens.


Nearly 8 hours between attacks


In fact, Stevens died of smoke inhalation after the diplomatic post was set on fire in the first attack.
Seven-and-a-half hours later, at dawn, mortars crashed on a CIA compound that had been unknown to top military commanders.


The military worked up a response on numerous fronts.
At one point, fewer than 10 U.S. military personnel in Libya were grappling with the mortar and rocket-propelled grenade attack on Americans who had taken cover at the CIA facility and, some 600 miles away, the evacuation of about three dozen people from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli by a convoy of armoured vehicles.


An unarmed Predator drone conducting an operation nearby in eastern Libya had been repositioned over Benghazi, yet offered limited assistance during the nighttime and with no intelligence to guide it. A standby force training in Croatia was ordered to Sicily, while another farther afield was mobilized. Neither was nearly ready in time to intervene during the first 45-minute attack and couldn't predict the quick mortar attack the next morning. An anti-terrorism support team in Spain was deployed, though it, too, was hours away.


American reinforcements of a six-man security team, including two military personnel, were held up at the Benghazi airport for hours by Libyan authorities. Drone images and intelligence hadn't provided indications of a new attack, but word eventually came from two special forces troops who had made it to the annex and reported casualties from the dawn attack up the chain of command.


Ahmed Abu Khattala detained last month


In Tripoli, military and embassy officials were evacuating the embassy there and destroying computer hardware and sensitive information.
The administration last month apprehended its first suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, and brought him to the United States to stand trial on terrorism charges.


The Justice Department maintains in court documents that Abu Khattala was involved in both attacks, and it describes the first breach on the diplomatic post as equally sophisticated. The government said a group of about 20 men, armed with AK-47- rifles, handguns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, stormed the diplomatic facility in the first attack.


Abu Khattala supervised the looting after Americans fled, the government says, and then returned to the camp of the Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia, where the Justice Department says a large force began assembling for the second attack.


Justice Department tells different tale


The Justice Department provided no supporting documentation for those conclusions. They also reflect the divisions among current and former government officials about the two attacks.


In her book Hard Choices, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote that there were scores of attackers with different motives. "It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video. It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were. Both assertions defy not only the evidence but logic as well."


Abu Khattala's lawyer says the government has failed to show that he was connected to either attack.


Ham, who happened to be in Washington that week, briefed defence Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey. They informed the president.


Many of the military officials said they didn't even know about the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, let alone the CIA's clandestine installation nearby. Few knew of Stevens visiting the city that day. Given all of the confusion, Ham said there was one thing he clearly would have done differently: "Advise the ambassador to not go to Benghazi."

"Who was Glen Doherty? Details emerge on former SEAL's final actions in Benghazi
Published July 26, 2013
Exclusive: Obama, This Benghazi victim is not 'phony'
It was supposed to be his last assignment working security and surveillance for the CIA. Glen Doherty, the former Navy SEAL who was working for the CIA's Global Response staff in Libya on Sept. 11 last year, was in the capital of Tripoli when the call for help came from the diplomatic mission in Benghazi -- a "consulate" in name only. 


"Greg, Greg, we are under attack," were the last words from Ambassador Chris Stevens to his deputy Greg Hicks over the phone from Benghazi shortly after the attack began around 9:30 p.m. 


"If you don't get here we are going to die," the radio operator at the tactical operations center in Benghazi pronounced on the radio from the consulate. 


Fox News has learned more details about Doherty's actions, as he and others scrambled to try and save the U.S. team after those pleas for help. 


Doherty was part of the quick reaction force that left Tripoli to help rescue the ambassador and his team at the consulate, as well as the 21 CIA personnel at the CIA annex one mile from where Stevens' and the others came under attack. 


Doherty left Tripoli at about midnight local time, after chartering a local plane for the rescue. There were no U.S. air assets in Tripoli. He and the quick reaction force arrived at the CIA annex at 5:15 a.m. after being delayed for several hours at the Benghazi airport by the Libyans. The CIA annex, a fortress-like compound with several buildings, is where the Americans in Benghazi had retreated and the body of State Department official Sean Smith had been brought after the initial attack. At the time, Stevens was still missing. 


Doherty joined Tyrone Woods, another highly trained former SEAL, on the roof of one of the buildings at the CIA annex. Within minutes, mortars were fired. Doherty and Woods were both killed. 


Fox News has obtained a video of Doherty before he died that was compiled by his friends from the outtakes of an NBC series that Doherty worked on in 2009. The series, The Wanted, was a reality show that involved looking for war criminals around the world. 


Doherty provided security and surveillance for the show's production team as it chased in one case a well-known financier of the 9/11 attacks through the streets of Hamburg. Doherty talks about the car chases and how he managed to stay awake on stake-outs and discusses his impressions of his friends Adam, Roger and Scott, whom he protected on those shoots. The video is being shown with the permission of Doherty's mother, Barbara, to provide insight into who Doherty was and why the nation should honor his service. 


Doherty's Libya assignment was supposed to be his last for the CIA. He had been offered a more comfortable job in the private sector that would have allowed him to get out of the line of fire. He told his future employer that he had one last job to do. That job was in Libya. On Sept.  11, his last assignment was in Benghazi.

"Hillary Clinton's E-Mail Was Vulnerable to 'Spoofing'
59 MAR 18, 2015 12:58 PM EDT
Hillary Clinton didn't take a basic precaution with her personal e-mail system to prevent hackers from impersonating or "spoofing" her identity in messages to close associates, according to former U.S. officials familiar with her e-mail system and other cyber-security experts.
This vulnerability put anyone who was in communication with her clintonemail.com account while she was secretary of state at risk of being hacked. Clinton said at the United Nations last week that there were no security breaches of her personal e-mail server, which she used to send and receive more than 60,000 professional and personal e-mails. But former cyber-security officials and experts told us that there were gaps in the system.


According to publicly available information, whoever administrated the system didn't enable what’s called a Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, a simple setting that would prevent hackers sending e-mails that appear to be from clintonemail.com. SPF is a basic and highly recommended security precaution for people who set up their own servers.  Here is a security evaluation of Clinton's server by SenderScore:


Experts told us that oversight was just one flaw of a security system that would have been relatively easy for foreign intelligence services and others to exploit. "I have no doubt in my mind that this thing was penetrated by multiple foreign powers, to assume otherwise is to put blinders on,” said Bob Gourley, the chief technology officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2005 to 2008 and the founder of Cognitio, a cybersecurity consultancy.
"If a Sender Policy Framework was not in use, they could send an e-mail that looks like it comes from her to, say, the ambassador of France that says, 'leave the back door open to the residence a package is coming,'" added Gourley. "Or a malicious person could send an e-mail to a foreign dignitary meant to cause an international incident or confuse U.S. foreign policy."


Spoofing a senior official’s e-mail identity is also an easy way to conduct "spear phishing" attacks, where an attacker sends a personally crafted e-mail that appears to come from a trusted source. Once the target opens it, his own system can be compromised. Clinton said she e-mailed with dozens of State Department and White House officials using her server, including President Barack Obama.


Spear phishing has caused problems for the government in the past. In October 2012, the White House confirmed that hackers linked to the Chinese government had penetrated sensitive but unclassified computer systems using the technique.  Just last week, the State Department shut down its entire e-mail system after attacks by hackers suspected to be Russian.


There's no evidence that Clinton's e-mail server was linked to those or any other specific attacks. And it's worth noting that the State Department’s e-mail domain does not have SPF enabled. Thus, experts point out, it may also have been vulnerable to hacking during her time as secretary.
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton’s personal office, declined to comment on the SPF issue, telling us that she took several security precautions when setting up her server, including hiring third-party experts. "Robust protections were put in place and additional upgrades and techniques were employed over time as they became available," he said. “There was never evidence of a breach, nor any unauthorized intrusions."


The problem with such confidence is that if hackers exploited the SPF vulnerability, Clinton's office would likely never have known her domain name, which has been public information since March of 2013, was being used surreptitiously.


Merrill declined to say who has been in charge of maintaining the server or ensuring its security since 2009 [Base One Technologies, mentored by Serco]. This would be a good question to have answered. It would be important to know, for instance, what sort of security vetting the employees overseeing the server received.


It would be useful to know, too, if the federal agencies that protect sensitive government communications -- the FBI and the NSA -- were aware of the server's existence and helped to provide security. Clinton has refused to clarify this issue, saying only that the server "had numerous safeguards and was on property guarded by the Secret Service In 2008. Chinese hackers penetrated the e-mail systems of both the Barack Obama and John McCain campaigns, which were operating on commercial systems. After the hacks were discovered, the FBI lent its assistance and the hacks stopped.


E-mails "that run on commercial services are vulnerable to collection,” said James A. Lewis, who held senior technology posts at the White House and State Department  and now directs the technology and public policy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Lewis, who authored “Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency," a report commissioned by a bipartisan House panel in 2007, added: “I don’t think people realize how much of this information is available to foreign intelligence services." 
Until team Clinton answers vital questions about exactly what safeguards were in place in Chappaqua, New York, we won't know how likely it was that sensitive communications at the highest level of government may have ended up in unfriendly hands.
