The effort was bogus from day one; the base is packed with toxic chemicals and their residue and no sensible person would consider living even close to it, let alone 'on' the old wreck of a base. http://salem-news.com/articles/january252012/el-toro-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january252012/el-toro-tk.php Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:32:00 PST I am continually amazed to see on my computer screen the new diseases for which Cannabis/Marijuana is beneficial.

The terminal is being picketed by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU)... this is a struggle for their survival. http://salem-news.com/articles/january202012/ilwu-military-ko.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january202012/ilwu-military-ko.php Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:35:00 PST Colonel James E. Sabow, age 51, was found dead by his wife in their backyard patio at MCAS El Toro on the morning of January 22, 1991. The death was reported as a suicide from a self-inflicted shotgun wound.

Sabow in his quarters at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California, has taken a new twist with the discovery of a fraudulent autopsy photograph in DOD’s death investigation report to the House Armed Service Committee. These hide the tramline bruise to the back of Colonel Sabow’s head, a tell tale sign of a violent blow by a blunt object like a lead pipe or baseball bat. http://salem-news.com/articles/january182012/marine-death-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january182012/marine-death-ro.php Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:14:00 PST Pirate profiteers and street merchants are central players in the economies of Mexico and other nations of the developing world.
