 Despite the ongoing cover up by the Obama administration, the below listed article summarizes what we have been able to dig up after one long year of painstaking research, about the attack on the US Mission and the CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya on the 11th Anniversary of 9/11.  That event is now referred to as the “Battle of Benghazi.”  I presented the below listed information in a speech to a large gathering of real American Patriots at the Bahia Hotel in San Diego on September 9, 2013.  I have been asked to speak about the “Battle of Benghazi”again before a much larger gathering of American Patriots in Redlands, CA where there will be 400 American Flags brought by some of the participants on the 12th Anniversary of 9/11.  It will also be the one year anniversary of the “Battle of Benghazi,” that event should be properly termed as  another “Day that will live in Infamy.”

For over 3 years Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts have been to support and train the Free Syrian Army; their goal has been to topple Assad’s brutal regime that has killed over 100,000 Syrians, created 2 million Syrian refugees, and used chemical weapons to kill unarmed civilians multiple times.  If the Free Syrian Army created by Saudi Arabia is unable to succeed, Iran will be strengthened in its strategic control of the “crescent”, that area that encircles Saudi Arabia with its militant proxies in the countries of Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iran and Afghanistan (Iran already has the military advantage on the ground in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq).  Prince Bandar’s strategy would only be successful, if Obama ceases being indecisive, and finally demonstrates that he will take a strategic, sustained, and long term approach to defeating the Assad regime and only under the following…

 After Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood came to power and took control of Parliament, they didn’t practice the democratic form of government they were elected to conduct in Egypt; they were co-opting the laws of the nation and were slowly destroying all possible opposition.  During their rule basic necessities became scarce, electricity became sporadic, long lines of autos at gas stations were common, poor Egyptians were being hurt by the decline in value of the Egyptian Pound, food became scarce, Morsi polarized the once-united people & incited violence against Christians, and unemployment was rampant.  Finally 30 million Egyptians took to the streets to demonstrate that they had had enough (when Obama demanded Mubarak be replaced by Morsi only 1 million Muslim Brotherhood supporters were demonstrating in the streets).  The Egyptian military had were having difficulty…

The below listed critical important information was submitted by Admiral James A. Lyons, Jr., USNA 52, USN (Ret), formerly Commander-in-Chief, US Pacific Fleet and Senior Military Representative at the United Nations; his dire warning should be paid attention to by members of Congress who care about the National Security. It is imperative that all Americans oppose the gang of eight flawed Immigration Bill; that bill must be defeated at all cost. Ever US Senator or US Congressman who supports this Obama administration bill is contributing toward opening the US border at 106 land sites to every Al Qieda terrorist, Hezbollah terrorist, drug cartel member, and Norco terrorist permitting them to enter the US unopposed and allowing them not to be fingerprinted. Provisions of the bill would permit them to reside in the US for 3 years and apply for amnesty in accordance with provisions of… Read More

The occupant of the Oval Office repeatedly said when he was running for re-election “Osama bin Laden is dead and Al Q’ieda is on the run.”   Al Q’ieda was not on the run then, and is not on the run now; in fact the Al Q’ieda terrorist organization is much stronger than it was when Obama was inaugurated in 2008.  The Republic is in a less secure position from an Al Q’ieda terrorist attack than it has been in for over 12 years.   Gregory D. Johnson, a Princeton Scholar and author of “The Last Refuge,” a book on Al Q’ieda said the numbers of Al Q’ieda terrorists have increased.  The numbers of Al Q’ieda’s terrorists are increasing in Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, and Afghanistan.  The reason Al Q’ieda is much stronger today than it was in 2008, is because there has been no national comprehensive policy being executed to defeat and dismantle Al Q’ieda overseas (Tactical…

 Many of the 26 million Veterans in the nation were notified, that on Saturday, the Republic lost a unique American Patriot and loyal supporter of the US military establishment, Col Bud Day, USAF (Ret) (Vietnam POW) (Medal of Honor) (Air Force Cross) (Air Force Distinguished Service Medal) (Silver Star Medal)(Legion of Merit) (Distinguished Flying Cross) (4 Bronze Star Medals with Combat “V”) (Defense Meritorious Medal) (4 Purple Heart Medals) (10 Air Medals) (Prisoner of War Medal) (44 other medals were awarded for dedicated combat service in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam).  Col Day was a very early financial supporter of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC; he called from time to time to provide us with his leadership skills, and valued advice.  He is the only American who ever made a donation to “every” endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, regardless of the state they were…

 The parents, wives, children, brothers, sisters, extended relatives, Team Mates, and the majority of caring Americans do not consider the abandonment of 4 brave Americans in Benghazi, that facilitated  their murder by Al Q’ieda terrorists a “Phony Scandal.”  The American people want to know what the occupant of the Oval Office was doing for the 8 hours, while over 125 to 150 well-equipped and disciplined Al Q’ieda terrorists were prosecuting a well-coordinated and rehearsed attack against the Special Mission Compound and the CIA Annex in Benghazi on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11.  The American people and the press were certainly informed in detail, with plenty of photos, what Obama and Hillary were doing for 8 hours when SEAL Team SIX took out Osama Bin Laden---then we watched in horror while the occupant of the Oval Office exposed Top Secret operational information to the world…

  Obama is targeting another endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress who he believes is vulnerable, Cong Chris Gibson. Col-USA (Ret) (R-NY-19); Obama’s intent is to take 17 seats away from the Republican led House of Representatives.  Last year, Obama mobilized leftists’ organizations, flooded the district with thousands of union volunteers, employed the left of center media establishment, and got wealthy liberal donors like Soros to donate over $4 millions in donations to defeat Congressman Allen West, LTC –USA (Ret) (R-FL-18), an endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress.  Obama’s supporters employed ACORN tactics; they got more people to vote in the 18th Congressional District than were registered to vote, so voter fraud was employed to defeat Congressman West at the polls.  Those same tactics that worked so well against Cong West will be employed by Obama against Congressman Gibson and…

 While the below listed attack was underway and Obama and Hillary were kept informed, what were they doing for the next 10 hours until 2 SEALs were killed.  Now 10 months later, the American people, the Congress, and personnel in the US Armed Forces have no idea.  No one in the left of center liberal media establishment has even tried to find out?

 JULY 4, 1776 – JULY 4, 2013

  http://www.history.com/videos/fourth-of-july-history#fourth-of-july-history  

 

On this day in 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.  Each year on the Fourth of July, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by military personnel in defense of this nation. Since 1775, one year before adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the US Marine Corps had been defending our freedoms; we acknowledge so with the attachment. On this Fourth of July, America’s 237th birthday, we hold dear those unalienable rights-----life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, the right to bear arms, and religious freedom extended to every American citizen by the framers of the Declaration of…

 Responsible legislation is required to correct the broken Immigration system and deal with the presence of over 18+ million Illegal Immigrants residing in the United States, but the legislation should be enacted step by step, in a predictable easy to understand manner.  The $38 billion comprehensive 1200 page Senate Amnesty Bill being proposed is not an immigration reform measure at all, it is an “Amnesty First” bill, providing for amnesty in the form of legal status as Registered Provisional Immigrants (RPIs), and national security of the Republic is being seriously shredded.  No one has even read it and the irresponsible Senators are ready to pass it tomorrow; where have we heard this before----“It must be passed to see what is in it?”  This defective Amnesty Bill being proposed, “does not close the border at all”, is being proposed by the gang of 8, led by Senator Chuck Schumer,…

 Once each year, we make an annual request for support, in order to continue our effort to recruit, complete a background investigation on, endorse, campaign for, and help elect Combat Veterans For Congress. We are unlike any other PAC, in that we have no paid employees; members of the Board of Directors receive no compensation, and I provide financial support for operations each year.   All funds donated are used to cover expenses and make donations to candidates.  Our Washington, DC law firm has protected us from unauthorized FEC fines, included us in a case before the Supreme Court to protect our 1stAmendment Rights, and assisted us for 2 years in our application with the IRS for tax-exempt status for the CVTG.  Other annual expenditures include retention of our Washington law firm, the cost of an FEC Consultant to make the required Quarterly FEC Reports, expenses associated with…

 A few years can make a great deal of difference in the type of competent and honest leadership that the occupant of the Oval Office displays to the world.  If you click on the below listed link, you will be able to view and listen to one of the Republic’s great Presidents.  President Reagan’s belief system mirrors those of President George Washington; imagine President Reagan on his knees in prayer and General Washington on his knees in prayer at Valley Forge.   The video is wholly appropriate for this Sunday morning. This is a rather short video that all Americans should watch, appreciate, and fully understand the meaning of.  All those in the bloated out of control government bureaucracy should be forced to watch it several times, or until they get it!  If you don’t normally forward information via E-mail, please consider making this an exception and pass it along to those in your…

If the opportunity presents itself, thank a Fallen Hero’s family member for making the “Last Full Measure Of Devotion” in support of the Republic.


 


 This is the third article in a series of articles written to protect and defend the US Constitution; each article is posted on the Home page of our Web site.  The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees all American citizens from “unreasonable search and seizures”; federal law requires that a specific warrant must be issued by a court to obtain specific information from a US citizen, provided there is a valid legal reason to issue the warrant.  One of the reasons members of the Continental Congress executed the Declaration of Independence was because of the unreasonable search and seizures by the British Redcoats who invaded the homes of colonists, violating their privacy to search for weapons, food, beverages, or other items they confiscated from colonists.  The Invasion of privacy by a government bureaucracy today is much more oppressive than it was by the British Redcoats…

  This is the second article in a series in support of the US Constitution.  We want to share some of the quotes by a great American, Thomas Jefferson, in the attachment.  Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founding Fathers, was a member of the Continental Congress, was a proponent of the Revolution, wrote the Declaration of Independence, was serving in France as the Minister to France when the US Constitution was being drafted in the colonies, served as the Revolution wartime Governor of Virginia, was the first Secretary of State under President George Washington, served as the Vice President of the United Stated under President John Adams, served as the 3rdPresident of the United States (1801-1809), purchased the Louisiana Territory, sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the west (1804-1806), signed into law a bill in 1807 that banned the importation of slaves into the United…

 This is the first in a series of articles in support of the US Constitution. The attached speech was given at the Le Parker Meridian Hotel in New York City on May 16, 2013 by, Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr. (Ret), a member of the Board of Directors of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC. Cong Goldwater discusses the freedoms our Founding Fathers guaranteed to all Americans in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, and how the actions of a bloated Federal Government bureaucracy have been slowly and consistently striping those freedoms away from the American people. He discusses the inalienable rights outlined in the US Constitution that have sustained the citizens of the Republic for 238 years, and how they have been under assault by the Obama administration for the past 4 years. We trust the American people will join Congressman Goldwater, the 20 endorsed Combat Veterans…

The multiple scandals continue to proliferate, and the cover-ups by the left of center liberal media establishment continue unabated. 

 

 


 US Ambassador Christopher Steven’s request for additional security were repeatedly denied, even after Secretary Clinton knew 10 Militia and Al Q’ieda training camps had been created in Benghazi, knew that the US Mission in Benghazi had previously been attacked by Al Q’ieda terrorists, and even after she was provided with the below listed intelligence 4 weeks before the anniversary of 9/11.  All US Embassies and overseas US installations had always been on high alert, and US military rapid reaction forces worldwide had always been manned and ready, each year since 9/11/2001, to respond to any incidents on the anniversary of 9/11.  

To avenge the death of Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al Zawahiri, Al Q’ieda’s new leader, ordered Sufian Ben Qhumu (the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in Libya and a  former Guantanamo detainee released in 2007) and all Al Q’ieda clandestine affiliated…

 Forty years ago, President Nixon finally succeeded in having Secretary of State Henry Kissinger complete the negotiation for the repatriation of the Vietnam POWs from North Vietnam.  On the weekend of May 23rd, for the last time, the surviving Vietnam POWs solemnly celebrated the 40th anniversary of their release, at the Nixon Presidential Library.  If you have ever read any of the many books published, articles printed in publications/newspapers, or read interviews given by Vietnam POWs you will understand that the common thread that helped get them thru their very difficult period of captivity was their faith in God, their religious worship away from the eyes of their captors, and the support the Prisoner of War Code of Conduct was inculcated in them; Article VI is listed below.

 Congressman Joe Heck, Col-USAR (MC) (R-NV-3), an endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, authored a new version of the Stolen Valor Act.  The first Stolen Valor Law made it a crime to lie about being awarded a medal for valor while serving in the US Armed Forces. Last summer the Supreme Court ruled the Stolen Valor Law was too broad and violated the “Free Speech” provision of the US Constitution.  Congressman Heck said he understood that fraud is already a crime, but noted that each state punishes it in a different way, and since the military awards for valor are federally authored awards, he felt strongly that there needed to be a uniform federal standard to deal with the issue.   Last summer, Congressman Heck analyzed the Supreme Court’s decision, and saw an opening to propose an updated version of the law by inserting a line about gaining “material advantage”.  The new…

 In the below listed article, Dr. Judith Reisman, a therapist, discusses a shocking secret the Pentagon has tried to keep a lid on since they were forced to admit openly homosexual males into the US Armed Forces.  With 1,219,510 men serving in the US Armed Forces, the Defense Department reported that if only 17 % of young recruits who were sexually assaulted reported it, then based upon the hard figure of 10,700 male victims who filed formal complaints of homosexual assaults, the Pentagon estimated that 62,941 military men were forcibly sodomized by homosexual males in the military in a one year period---the large number of male rapes in the US Armed Forces had never happened in history.  If only several criminal homosexual assaults were perpetrated against male members of the US military, their numbers would have been too high; the men who perpetrate those crimes, should be…

 On this Memorial Day and every day, we not only honor all military personnel who gave the last full measure of devotion in combat to their country, we also honor all military Veterans who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives,” and we will not forget to honor those courageous military canine who have protected members of the US Armed Forces going in “Harm’s Way” daily.  This year we ask all Americans to please remember two former US Navy SEALs who ran to the sound of gunfire, even though they were told to “STAND DOWN”, and by their heroic action saved the lives of 32 Americans who were under attack in the Benghazi Mission by 125+ Al Q’ieda terrorist.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we want to share the below listed story about Sgt Ross Gundlach, USMC, a Dog Handler in…

The video, "Underground Great Wall of China", can be viewed by clicking on the below listed link; it was produced by Georgetown University.  It relates how China went public in 2009 with how they have hardened 3000 kilometers of tunnels under the Great Wall, and that those hardened sites are safe from bunker busting nuclear weapons.  The hardened sites were created to protect China’s nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles from a direct attack; it was a game changer in the balance of nuclear weapons.  The Chinese can house over 100 million soldiers/people in those tunnels. The firm number of China’s nuclear warheads possess is not known for sure, but they total somewhere between 420 and 3000 nuclear warheads, and china keeps increasing their numbers. 

In 2009, the left of center liberal media establishment did not provide the American people with Chinese…

 On Armed Forces Day, we remember the many young high school graduates who entered the military in the 1950s whom were very motivated to serve, because of examples set by relatives who served in WWII; their relatives were members of the Greatest Generation.  After Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, many of the young men in the nation dropped out of high school to volunteer for combat at the beginning of WWII—it was a selfless and patriotic act by a truly Great Generation of Americans. 

Today only a small percentage of America’s youth are motivated to volunteer and serve in the military; those who are serving are members of the greatest military fighting force in the world.   We “honor” all who served in defense of the Republic in years gone by, those who gave the last full measure of devotion, and especially those going into “Harm’s Way” today in Afghanistan and in the World…
