‘Body-bombs:’ Is the Threat Commensurate with the Hype?

2011-07-13T10:05:00.000-07:00

Published originally in HS Today The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently issued an alert regarding unconfirmed intelligence indicating terrorists continue to contemplate using so-called “body-bombs” – explosive devices that are surgically implanted into the bodies of terrorists in the hope that they will not be detected and detonated onboard passenger planes. And just as with

What's Missing From Our New National Strategy

2011-07-06T08:26:00.000-07:00

Published in Fox News On June 28, the White House released its 2011 National Strategy for Counterterrorism. This twenty-six page document could be observed as an extremely narrowly focused strategy—possibly too narrow. Al Qaeda is the main focus within the plan and, for many reasons, rightly so. Most of our major command’s areas of operations are identified as well but one crucial region is

Afghanistan, Troops Withdrawals, and Strategy

2011-06-27T14:29:00.000-07:00

Published in Homeland Security Today On October 11, 2001, then Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith wrote a “secret” three-page memo for the Secretary of Defense that outlined what Feith thought the US military’s “Afghanistan Strategy” should consist of. Declassified in May 2005, Feith’s memo identified Al Qaeda and the Taliban as key actors in Afghanistan that needed to either physically

Drawing down Afghanistan

2011-06-21T09:45:00.000-07:00

This week, the nation expects to hear plans from President Obama pertaining the draw down of troops in Afghanistan. Many citizens believe a draw down is needed while others believe troops need to stay in place. Obviously we are split as a nation with Afghanistan. In the past ten years, we have lost the lives of many of our best and brightest fighting this war. Families have been torn apart,

Why We Still Fight--In Memory of Robert Stethem

2011-06-16T05:59:00.000-07:00

Originally posted in BigPeace.com Twenty-six years ago, the world watched one of the most horrific atrocities taken against innocent civilians—this event was aired live on televisions around the world. TWA Flight 847 was hijacked, terrorists held their captives for seventeen days, and brutally murdered 23-year old Robert Stethem, a proud American and a U.S. Navy diver. This terrorist attack was

NY Times or Wikileaks?

2011-06-01T13:03:00.001-07:00

Published in BigJournalism.com The New York Times does it again and again—endangers the lives of those operating abroad. This past Sunday, the New York Times released an article titled U.S. Underwrites Internet Detour Around Censors. This article is not the first written by the New York Times where anti-American propaganda crossed numerous lines of freedom of press. The New York Times can very

Khushab Versus Abbottabad, Pakistan

2011-05-14T06:44:00.000-07:00

Published in BigPeace.com With the death of Osama Bin Laden, the search must continue to seek and destroy Al Qaeda leadership. Many names come to mind but the greatest blow to Al Qaeda would be the killing of Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri. If he was not with Bin Laden hiding in Abbottabad, where could he be? There is no question that the close confidants of Bin Laden such as Zawahiri have

Hey, Attorney General Holder, Why Don't You Investigate Pakistan?

2011-05-11T11:39:00.000-07:00

As seen in Fox News While Attorney General Eric Holder and many others may believe enhanced interrogation techniques immoral, illegal, or simply wrong, there are plenty of other situations needing to be investigated—instead of our methods for eliciting information from our enemy. In fact, if Mr. Holder is truly adamant about doing our country any good, maybe he needs to investigate our foreign

Retaking life

2011-05-08T15:47:00.000-07:00

Ok, so this article was posted in BigPeace.com and I admit that it was extremely difficult to write considering I am still very confused about life skills coaching. What I have obtained to date is just a small scratch on the surface. But, what I am encountering is overwhelming! Enjoy. Since 2001, our best and brightest men and women have continuously fought against asymmetrical threats in

Who is Kerry Patton?

2011-05-06T07:23:00.000-07:00

For anyone who may question who I am, I don’t blame you. Even I too have wondered who I have truly worked for in the past. Yes, I have always known who paid me throughout my career, but at times questioned where direction, task, and purpose truly came from knowing that I have fulfilled tasks outside those entities who I officially have once worked for. It has been an interesting ride to say the

Breaking the Conspiracies: Bin Laden Is Dead

2011-05-06T06:42:00.000-07:00

Published by the Gold Coast Chronicle Bin Laden is dead. We should unequivocally praise all the entities involved in seeing this madman’s life perish in hell. At the same time, we should not care how or when he died rather embrace the fact that he no longer exists. In the end, even those with the highest of security clearances will never know the full details of this past weekend’s activities.

2011-05-04T08:47:00.000-07:00

This morning, within a three hour time, approximately 15 radio interviews were conducted through Fox News Radio affiliate stations.

A Letter to America: Time to End Birtherism

2011-05-03T09:31:00.001-07:00

As seen in BigPeace.com There is no question that for a very long time, I wanted to see President Obama’s “Live Birth Certificate.” I did not want to see this to prove one way or another his citizenship rather wanted him to be treated like every other President and U.S. government employee who was forced to show proof of citizenship. Today, that proof has been identified and released.

Independence Day 2010

2010-07-03T17:03:00.001-07:00

There was a time in our great American history where patriots stood against tyrants. They stood, fought, and many died. They sacrificed themselves to ensure that the future of America would remain independent from all enemies foreign and domestic. Those patriots have vanished with time however a new uprising of patriots has been reborn. For too long persons residing inside the United States

The world has been awakened hearing the news of eleven spies being detained within the last twenty four hours. Affidavits confirm that their tradecraft was horrific. They faced technical difficulties using wireless communication devices, their abilities to conduct “dead drops” were obvious to counterintelligence, and they obviously lacked security measures in conducting switches, passes, or swaps

Stand Up America Stanley McChrystal had enough. He had enough of the U.S. administration’s incompetence and poorly developed strategies in dealing with Afghanistan. He is being ridiculed for statements made about the Marxists running this country to include President Obama himself. In a nutshell, “Stan the man” told the world he had enough. God bless General McChrystal! Upon assuming command,

The United States military is filled with America’s finest and brightest. They are all self volunteered warriors and heroes. The avenues which allows individuals to maneuver within their career is limitless.

Terror knows no borders

2010-06-09T13:03:00.001-07:00

Examiner Geographically, the world has been broken down into borders. These borders establish nation state boundaries. It is known that past world leaders established these borders; however, these manmade borders are for the most part, non-existent for many persons. Because many fail to recognize these boundaries, the U.S. faces violent, grave, predicaments which will continuously bleed into our

The late 1970’s was a time when many so called peace loving hippies served as hypocrites throughout the United States. They were hypocrites because during this time the United States witnessed the birth of some of its most frequent domestic terrorist activities; and yes, the majority of these events stemmed from left wing liberals. It was a time when many of these groups like the Symbionese

Examiner There is no doubt the tactics used this weekend 40 miles off the coast of Israel by Israeli Defense is questionable for many. Sure, different tactics could have been used to disable any large sea vessel such as disrupt the engine, disable all electronics, and so on. However, such tactics are extremely difficult to conduct such as “Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS).” All tactics

Is Jamaica’s current instability part of a U.S. economic intelligence operation

2010-05-28T07:16:00.000-07:00

Examiner In more than seven days of civil unrest, over thirty persons have been killed in Jamaica. Those killed are the result of U.S. intentions to extradite known international drug and weapon smuggler Christopher “Dudus” Coke. The U.S. and Jamaican authorities were forewarned that probable chaos would exist if the extradition of Coke were to occur. Could this be a U.S. led economic
