Sabow and other Marines whose deaths (officially ruled ‘suicides’) are linked to the use of El Toro assets during the 1980s and 1990s to import South American cocaine into the U.S and to export weapons to the Contra Rebel faction of Nicaragua. CIA proprietary aircraft and civilian crews were used in the covert activity, including the illegal narcotrafficking of cocaine in the country. http://salem-news.com/articles/june172013/marine-deaths-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june172013/marine-deaths-ro.php Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:59:00 PDT "This will be the most important thing I have ever done." says Tim King, founder and news editor of Salem-News.com, in regard to his scheduled 48-state motorcycle ride for Veterans.

However, some indiscretions are inexcusable. When the consequence of a decision impacts another human life so far that, that affected life is lost or is so inadvertently altered there exists no chance for recourse. http://salem-news.com/articles/june142013/omc-obama.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june142013/omc-obama.php Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:49:00 PDT Has John McCain lost his mind? His illegal meeting with Sunni terrorists in Syria is the latest stain on this warmonger's record. He's a morally repugnant low life rich guy who does nothing to this country but a disservice. I have written before that McCain is the Manchurian Candidate, the one who was programmed long ago to destroy this nation from within. http://salem-news.com/articles/may282013/mccain-traitor-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may282013/mccain-traitor-tk.php Tue, 28 May 2013 18:41:00 PDT On a day we are to celebrate and honor our war dead, I feel sadness and grief and want to ask many unavoidable questions. For the Marines in the WWII island campaigns, and the U.S. Army's war against Hitler, I see justice. For the American soldiers who defeated the Confederate traitors and slave traders, there was no option other than to fight. Spare those, I see nothing honorable. http://salem-news.com/articles/may272013/memorial-day-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may272013/memorial-day-tk.php Mon, 27 May 2013 16:37:00 PDT Camp Lejeune could have used a simple test mandated by the Navy in 1963 to learn that its water wells were seriously contaminated.
