Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 182: Benghazi, Stinger Missiles and the Obama CIA Family

About this episode

The episode discusses various conspiracies surrounding the Benghazi incident, CIA operations, and connections to the Obama family.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 182 with a breakdown of the Cole Allen assassination attempt on Trump, the mysterious Henry Martinez Twitter account, and why time travel is the only theory that fully explains it (spoiler: it probably isn't). They also touch on DiGenova's withdrawn subpoenas and Grassley handing Clinton Foundation documents to the DOJ. Then the show goes deep. A scathing open letter from former CIA officer Sam Faddis dismantles John Brennan's public image as an intelligence elder statesman, revealing his entire career was built on a personal relationship with Bill Clinton. Jon walks through Operation Timber Sycamore, the illegal Stinger missile transfers to Al Qaeda proxies in Libya, the Chinook shootdown, and why Ambassador Chris Stevens had to die to keep the story buried. The episode closes with a detailed case that Obama's entire family, his mother, grandfather, grandmother, and even his alleged biological father Frank Marshall Davis, were all connected to CIA operations spanning decades across Asia and Africa.
