Libya Consulate Attack Planned for 9/11 Anniversary: US Responds as Protests Sweep Libya, Yemen
Protests are continuing throughout the middle east denouncing an American-made anti-Islamic film. Here in Washington the government is battling on two fronts, trying to stem the flood of violence directed towards America, while also dealing with a war of words that’s broken out over its diplomatic handling of the situation. With the third attack on an American diplomatic building, this time in Yemen, anti-America sentiment is building and spreading through the Middle East. Protests are continuing, the situation escalating. The latest breach of an American building came with the storming of the embassy in Yemen, the day after the US ambassador to Libya was killed. In Egypt, several hundred people have been injured in protests - with further protests reported in Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia. In Washington, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized the violence - but condemned the film which has sparked the protests. As the anti-American protests continue, actors who took part in the movie have come out saying they were duped by the film-maker - who now appears to be a Coptic Christian rather than an Israeli Jew.

The question now, was this a US intelligence failure - with …

If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be” (Book of Mormon10:110; Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church) “But let them apostatize, and they will become gray-haired, wrinkled, and black, just like the Devil” (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 332) “Had I anything to do with the Negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species, and put them on a national equalization” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 270; History of the Church, 5: p.332). “From the days of the Prophet Joseph Smith even until now, it is has been the doctrine of the Church, never questioned by any of the Church leaders, that the Negroes are not entitled to the full blessings of the Gospel.” (Joseph the First) Until forced by the US government in 1978, these were the official policies of the church that wishes one of its Bishops, Mitt Romney, a virtual slave to Sheldon Adelson and Benjamin Netanyahu, a man who has sworn a blood oath to declare war on Iran.
