As a drill instructor in the Marine Corps, he was responsible for training thousands of new recruits. But when Jerry’s nine-year-old daughter Janey passed away from a rare type of leukemia, his structured world began to collapse around him. http://salem-news.com/articles/february082012/semper-fi.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february082012/semper-fi.php Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:37:00 PST What explains the tendency of 'full-bird' colonels in the Marine Corps to commit suicide when they are at the pinnacle of a spotless career? These bizarre deaths create a number of haunting questions that should be studied- the results should be widely published. There aren't very many Marine colonels in the first place. http://salem-news.com/articles/february032012/marine-colonel.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february032012/marine-colonel.php Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:22:00 PST This tragedy of Marine Colonel Michael Ross Stahlman's ultimately fatal shooting in Iraq, was immediately assumed a suicide by military investigators. Therefore, a proper investigation was not performed. Although this is a natural occurrence for grieving family members, Kimberly Stahlman had solid reasons to doubt the assumption of suicide... http://salem-news.com/articles/february022012/marine-widow.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february022012/marine-widow.php Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:34:00 PST The story of the proposed redevelopment of the old El Toro Marine base in Irvine, California is beginning to match our predictions from more than three years ago. 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 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. Just another tragic military suicide, you say. In this case, the answer is a resounding “NO.” The forensic evidence supports homicide; a violent and brutal murder... http://salem-news.com/articles/january192012/marine-death-3-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january192012/marine-death-3-ro.php Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:46:00 PST Colonel Sabow was found dead in his quarters at MCAS El Toro on January 22, 1991, after he requested a court martial for alleged charges due to personal misuse of government aircraft. However, the alleged charges were unsupportable and would have been easily dismissed by a court martial. http://salem-news.com/articles/january182012/marine-death-2-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january182012/marine-death-2-ro.php Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:42:00 PST The death of Marine Colonel James E. 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 Camp Lejeune will likely go down in history as the stage of one of the worst toxic contaminations in the country—and one of the most shameful cover-ups by the Marine Corps. Between 1957 and 1987, as many as one million Marines at Camp Lejeune and their family members used and ingested water contaminated by extremely toxic organic compounds. http://salem-news.com/articles/january152012/lejeune-navy-dl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january152012/lejeune-navy-dl.php Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:17:00 PST Salem-News.com readers know that we care greatly about the water contamination at the Camp Lejeune Marine base in North Carolina. For decades, Marines drank the water along with their families, and they died of cancer, men developed the highest rate of breast cancer for any single spot known on earth, and so many infants were stillborn that Marine moms were at one point, forced to have their babies cremated. http://salem-news.com/articles/december302011/tce-obama.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december302011/tce-obama.php Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:43:00 PST Activists in one state made an unexpected move against US senators who passed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011- which allows for the indefinite military detention of Americans without charge or trial. Montanans have announced the launch of recall campaigns to give senators who voted for the bill the boot. http://salem-news.com/articles/december252011/ndaa-recall.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december252011/ndaa-recall.php Sun, 25 Dec 2011 17:57:00 PST A McClatchy Newspaper reporter alleges in a series of articles, that the government beefed up the story of U.S. Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer, who was awarded the Medal of Honor in September. This is not sitting well with Marines, particularly the top Marine officer, the Commandant, Gen. James F. Amos. http://salem-news.com/articles/december192011/dakota-meyer-folo-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december192011/dakota-meyer-folo-tk.php Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:50:00 PST In early 1991, something happened at the El Toro Marine air base that was so bad, so shameful, that it will not go away. It's the highly controversial death of Marine Colonel James Sabow. A fighter pilot, a hero of the Vietnam War, a man considered by those who knew him, to be 'general material'. http://salem-news.com/articles/december162011/jim-sabow-video-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december162011/jim-sabow-video-tk.php Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:45:00 PST Sensitive documents detailing the alleged massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians by Marines at Haditha, Iraq, that happened just over six years ago, were recently discovered in a trailer parked in a Baghdad junkyard, by a New York Times reporter. Reams of documents were being burned by an Iraqi as fuel to cook a dinner of smoked carp. In its recent departure from Iraq, U.S. forces apparently failed to destroy some of the most sensitive documents imaginable. http://salem-news.com/articles/december162011/haditha-junkyard-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december162011/haditha-junkyard-tk.php Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:21:00 PST As someone who could be said to “substantially support al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces,” I am writing to turn myself in under the new NDAA law. Please send a US military brigade, preferably the Marines (semper fi, guys!) to indefinitely detain me. http://salem-news.com/articles/december132011/indefinite-detention-kb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december132011/indefinite-detention-kb.php Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:55:00 PST The difference between homicide and suicide can sometimes be a close call, requiring extensive pathological review and crime scene reconstruction. However, the violent death of Marine Colonel James E. Sabow at MCAS El Toro on January 22, 1991, was a clear case of homicide. For those with knowledge of the cold case, this isn’t even a close call. http://salem-news.com/articles/december112011/sabow-folo-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december112011/sabow-folo-ro.php Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:57:00 PST Over the past few years, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman has sledded into Lebanon bearing gifts during the Yuletide season more regularly than Santa Clause. Yet, as happened yesterday, he somehow manages to finish his gift giving and lift off to continue his rounds as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. http://salem-news.com/articles/december102011/yuletide-lebanon-fl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december102011/yuletide-lebanon-fl.php Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:13:00 PST As we reported in a recent article, a Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his heroic rescue of 36 human beings, has been under assault by a British military contractor for alleged "drinking" problems and also for supposedly for having "mental" problems. Of course none of this was on the radar of the contractor BAE Systems, until after former Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer blew the whistle on the company's attempt to sell high-powered sniper scopes to the Pakistani military. http://salem-news.com/articles/december092011/dakota-meyer-le-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december092011/dakota-meyer-le-tk.php Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:41:00 PST Marine Corps sergeant Dakota Meyer was awarded the Congressional medal for saving 36 lives in the heat of extensive combat, in Afghanistan. But now, instead of being honored, Dakota Meyer is experiencing retaliation for having blown the whistle on a former employer based in England, military defense contractor BAE Systems, that he believes was trying to sell military hardware to Pakistan that could in turn be used against U.S. forces. http://salem-news.com/articles/december052011/dakota-meyer-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december052011/dakota-meyer-tk.php Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:31:00 PST A Salem, Oregon Marine who was killed during combat operations in Afghanistan 26 November 2011, 21-year old Adam J. Buyes, arrived home today under full escort. Salem-News.com Video Photographer Jerry Freeman was on scene to record the procession, and Q Madp, our photographer and the founder and energy behind IraqWarHeroes.com, was there to shoot the still photos. http://salem-news.com/articles/december052011/adam-buyes-usmc-qm-jf.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december052011/adam-buyes-usmc-qm-jf.php Mon, 05 Dec 2011 02:12:00 PST The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico. This means information will now be kept from the public as well as the media. Could this be a cover-up on the part of the “most transparent” administration in history? http://salem-news.com/articles/december042011/holder-terry.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december042011/holder-terry.php Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:49:00 PST Los Angeles Police took a Marine Veteran away without stating what the charges were at Occupy LA in late November. Jason Hurley's arrest was scarcely publicized, except for the coverage on YouTube and on the Occupy LA Website. We've reported a number of Marine Veterans being assaulted by police during the various Occupy movement gatherings in California. It looks like the cops are striving for the point of of return, Marines aren't known for standing by for this type of behavior. http://salem-news.com/articles/december042011/marine-la-arrest-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december042011/marine-la-arrest-tk.php Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:37:00 PST Never afraid to push the envelope, Pop star D’Manti isn’t called “The Queen of the Night” for nothing. Her debut blew audience away. The songstress and former U.S. Marine sang and danced à la striptease progressively during her show, heating up the club to a blistering temperature. http://salem-news.com/articles/december022011/dmanty-debut.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december022011/dmanty-debut.php Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:23:00 PST Independent experts question the ‘official suicide death’ of decorated Marine Corps Colonel James E. Sabow at MCAS El Toro, California. A number of unsolved ‘suicides’ and more likely outright murders followed the violent death of this straight arrow Marine. http://salem-news.com/articles/november302011/shadow-govt-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november302011/shadow-govt-ro.php Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:05:00 PST The police attacks on U.S. War Veterans taking part in the Occupy protests, are not a new phenomenon in America; in fact there is quite a history of the U.S. government waging attacks on its citizens. http://salem-news.com/articles/november302011/occupy-1933.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november302011/occupy-1933.php Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:42:00 PST Veterans who served at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, were potentially exposed to contaminants present in the base water supply prior to 1987. The chemical compounds involved have been associated by various scientific organizations with the possible development of certain chronic diseases. http://salem-news.com/articles/november292011/tce-path-known-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november292011/tce-path-known-tk.php Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:04:00 PST Southern California received a heavy dose of reality a few days ago, with the release of the Orange County Register article titled: Were Great Park master plans a good investment? We're taught as journalists to always capture the reader in the first few words. That title effectively made me a prisoner. http://salem-news.com/articles/november272011/oc-register-base-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november272011/oc-register-base-tk.php Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:13:00 PST Regarding the many crimes and irregularities enacted by government personnel connected to the Musa case of 6 children removed via allegations made by Haringey council that were later found to be unfounded and without merit some months back i submitted an official complaint about the solicitor for Haringey council ROSITA MOISE to the Solicitors Regulatory Authority who plays a big part in this shocking case. Finally i have received a message today relating to my complaint {below} from the Solicitors Regulatory Authority but of course it remains to be seen whether any action is actually and realistically taken. http://salem-news.com/articles/november272011/favour-musa-jg.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november272011/favour-musa-jg.php Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:31:00 PST I keep writing about the savagery of the cops in Oakland. Now they have ruthlessly attacked another Marine Corps combat vet, who suffered a ruptured spleen. The police are overstepping lines they will never be able to back up behind again, and this latest casualty, Kayvan Sabehgi, keep being attacked by police, there is no telling what will happen. http://salem-news.com/articles/november182011/marine-hurt-cops-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november182011/marine-hurt-cops-tk.php Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:48:00 PST There are good reasons to question last year’s Navy Criminal Investigative Agency (NCIS) cold case investigation into the death of Marine Colonel James E. Sabow. He was found dead at his quarters at MCAS El Toro, CA, by his wife on the morning of January 22, 1991. http://salem-news.com/articles/november172011/sabow-murder-evidence-ro.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november172011/sabow-murder-evidence-ro.php Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:53:00 PST I will never be a politician for I speak TRUTH: But as a candidate for US House of Representatives 2012, if elected among my first acts of Congress will be to invite all surviving USS LIBERTY veterans to speak on the Congressional record regarding what they saw on that day in infamy, when the LBJ Administration failed to support the troops and American foreign policy aligned itself with the perpetrators. http://salem-news.com/articles/november102011/remember-liberty-ef.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november102011/remember-liberty-ef.php Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:17:00 PST
