To Whom It May Concern:

1. I was AfriCom’s (J33) Current Ops desk officer for all of North Africa when Benghazi went down and my perspective of those first ’13 hours’ has never been told. Maddeningly Congress never asked me to testify. It seems as if the DeepState’s coverup is achieved by making sure the truth never sees the light of day in the first place.
2. I was literally (not figuratively) off and on the Amu Darya River between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan from 2000-2001. That is to say in the years leading up to 9/11 I was doing “black ops” with CIA oversight of some sort. There should be Country Team members who remember a Marine officer, yours truly, coming to the US Embassy in Tashkent to brief them following my mission to Termez and the Ambassador almost laughing at my proposal to give blue prints of the Ecuadorian riverine assault craft to the Uzbeks.
3. I ran the counterdrug riverine program for the DOD out of Camp Lejeune in the late 1990s and the same routes I battled the narcos for control of are now being used to traffic human beings. Some of whom do not want to be trafficked. Many of the same techniques we used to stop the flow of cocaine to the US could be used to stop the flow of trafficked humans to the US, but someone would have to learn about the most successful “Small Wars” campaign in their life time, that is the USMC’s riverine counterdrug RTTs and ROSTs role in the war on drugs during the late 1990s.
4. I can connect many of the dots our intel community is blind to because I was 30+ years on the tip of the spear or doing recon for the tip of the spear as well as OEF, OIF, OIC SOTG’s International Training Section, and HUMINT under the FORMICA program.

Hoping to hear from someone to put a spotlight on our intel community’s incompetence.
