Vatic Note: THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ. HECK, PART 2 IS EVEN BETTER.... ITS EXPOSING THE UNDERBELLY OF THE MILITARY AND IT SHOWS JUST WHAT KIND OF DANGER OUR KIDS ARE IN. BRING THEM HOME! NOW!!! We had no idea...... After you read this, I hope you will understand that the enemy of this nation lies within and not from just without. For the first time in the history of this nation, Treason is at a systemic level like nothing else we have ever seen before. It is very much tied into the full occupation of this government by a foreign power. Its in our Banking, Corporations, Dept of defense, Intel Agencies, Assassination squads, what the hell? Torture, NDAA no trial and people disappear, Homeland security is close to the worst of it. Its a toss up between them and the Pentagon. We did a blog where Panetta said he follows orders from the "international community", WHAT??? That is treason. Hello any body home?
The cost of this treason and us doing nothing about it is the loss of A GENERATION OF very good, young and courageous men and women who are our sons, brothers, husbands, and daughters and wives. That is the price we are paying, not in cash but in blood. THINK ON THAT FOR A WHILE. Look hard at your grandchildren, and imagine them being betrayed by their own military leaders and fellow soldiers. THESE ARE THE MEN WHO ARE GOING TO LEAD US IN WW III? I DON'T THINK SO... clear every single dual israeli citizen and stated globalist, out of the pentagon and State Dept as well as HLS. PURGE, EXPUNGE.... get rid of them now after the trials.
(Colonel Aquino)
Is this the new Satanism through Israel occupying the Pentagon? Aquino is in charge of some department with in the military and that means anything is ok to do. Remember, he is second in command in the nation of the Synogogue of Satan. He made The military list it as a legit religion, and did away with the forbidding sodomy in the military. It has nothing to do with gays, it has to do with their pagan religion of worshipping phallic symbols and using it to torture prisoners and extract confessions.
It used to be illegal under military law, but now its legal. Remember the Iraq prison where they did this to children in front of their parents? Now you know why they made it legal. Children are innocent, and that is what satanism seeks.... the innocense being stolen from children. A blog is coming up on that showing it happening in Georgia, the country. You know, the one that Israel gave a billion dollars to and 1000 soldiers to fight against the Russians??? Yup, that one.
Remember, Satanists big thing is soul harvesting, death, suffering and loss of innocense. IF WE GO TO WAR, IT DAMN SURE BETTER BE AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE TRULY OUR ENEMY. ISRAEL AND THEIR LACKIES WITHIN THE STATE DEPT, PENTAGON, DEPT OF DEFENSE, HOMELAND SECURITY AND YOUR TAXES ARE PAYING FOR THE MURDER OF YOUR OWN CHILDREN.
WE BETTER NOT RE-ELECT OBAMA. Make them bogus up the vote count since that will be their only choice and we can catch them at it and prosecute. These men need to be hung. We need a Nuremberg type trial right here and right now. We also need to pull out of every single war theatre we are engaged in. TELL OUR SOLDIERS TO FIND THEIR WAY HOME AND QUIT FIGHTING FOR THE SATANISTS WHO WILL BETRAY THEM IN A SECOND.
TREASON: A Marine Murdered Who Knew Too Much - Part 1 of 2

by Tim King, Veterans Today
Retired General Mark Kimmitt in the U.S. State Dept. is going to have some answering to do. (VN: So should Ms Israel, Hillary Clinton)
(OCEANSIDE, CA) – “They knew what day we were coming. All I know is that they were already in position and waiting, and they had a ton of ammo! It was a complex ambush. There was no movement in the town or around it before the main force was engaged.” – Scout Squad Leader, USMC
by Tim King, Veterans Today
Chivalrous and inspiring. Those words describe a Marine named Aaron M Kenefick who was killed at the now infamous Ganjgal Ambush in Afghanistan’s Pesh Valley on 8 Sept 2009. But what underscored his tragic death is the fact that by all accounts, it was a setup from the inside.
The oath that Aaron Kenefick held so seriously went far beyond the things that lead similar people to greatness.
He had to uphold his values against the malicious intentions of members of his own government who far outranked him. It would lead him to a mission that he would not survive, because the elimination of Aaron Kenefickt was the real objective of the ambush at Ganjgal in September 2009.
Aaron’s story is about his struggle as a junior yet highly recognized young Marine, against people holding power who are treasonous, with the most counterproductive military missions; more terrible than most people could ever imagine.
Background on Mark T. Kimmitt
Mark Kimmitt specializes in advising firms on international defense matters. Until December, 2011, Mr. Kimmitt served as Executive Vice President of Advanced Technology Systems Company, a defense firm with a core focus overseas, primarily in the Middle East. His responsibilities included supplying and maintaining the militaries of US allies with system installation/integration, logistics support, technical assistance and specialized construction.
Kimmitt was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve as the Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs. In that capacity, he was responsible for worldwide State Department political- military issues, security assistance programs, the regulation of international arms sales, managing the Gulf-Security Dialogue process, developing US counter-piracy policy along the coast of Somalia and serving as the principal liaison between the Departments of State and Defense.
From 2006 to 2008, Mr. Kimmitt served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Near East and South Asia. In this position, he was responsible for defense policy development, planning, and guidance throughout the region. He was instrumental in key defense decisions during that period, to include operations in Afghanistan, the change in US strategy for Iraq in 2006, representing the Department of Defense in the 2008 Status of Forces negotiations with Iraq, and efforts to enhance security in the Middle East through the Gulf Security Dialogue.
From 2004 to 2006, Mr. Kimmitt served as Deputy Director for Plans and Strategy at Central Command. In that position he held key responsibilities, theater-wide strategic planning, military planning efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and promulgation of the “Long War” strategic concept worldwide.
While in Iraq from 2003-2004, Mr. Kimmitt served as Deputy Director for Operations and Chief Military Spokesman for US forces, handling daily press conference and the most sensitive issues confronting the coalition militaries during the early days of the war. Mr. Kimmitt served for over 30 years as an officer in the United States Army in a wide variety of command, operational, and policy positions with experience abroad in Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Korea, Germany, and Belgium. He commanded soldiers, rangers and paratroopers at every echelon in the United States Army Field Artillery.

It’s about the US government and movements of huge shipments of weapons that are used to start wars that lead to grave destruction in foreign lands. It is about campaign contributions from those places where the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) strikes the deals, and it is about the United States supplying both sides the weapons to fight these deadly wars.
Most directly, it is about top U.S. officials that will kill off the very best combat forces in America to cover their dirty asses.
Aaron Kenefick’s story reveals that one redeeming aspects of Americanism; that some actually do what they are supposed to do, and refuse to partake in the corruption.
These U.S. government patterns of clandestine drug and weapon transportation and supply to foreign countries dates back to the Cuban crisis of the 1950′s and likely even before. In fact former CIA agent Edwin Wilson was who died this week was one of the largest of these weapons movers and death dealers.
Avoiding the radar (most of the time) and international law (all of the time) these clandestine operators of the United States have earned enormous money from illegal weapons trading and that certainly came to the forefront during the Iran-Contra hearings and Ollie North in the 1980′s.
Shocking as it was, the real story is that the activity never stopped; and in this event I mean weapons for drug trade shipments between the CIA and Nicaragua, as we have so painfully revealed in our reports about Marine Colonel James Sabow who was ‘suicided’ in his back yard at the El Toro Marine Air Station in 1991.
A Marine sergeant who worked overnight shifts on the flightline revealed to Col Sabow that planes were landing in the middle of the night and offloading shipments – large quantities of drugs. The planes were coming in from Nicaragua and they were not being listed in base records. The Marine Colonel blew the whistle on this and then died unexpectedly at his own home.
A simple review of the case shows that Col Sabow received blunt trauma to the back of the head and upper shoulder. When the shotgun blast went off in his mouth, Col Sabow lost less than an ounce of blood.
(GRAPHIC) From: Video Explores Suspected Murder of Marine Colonel James Sabow produced 16 Dec. 2011
This is because he was already dead, as his brother David, a medical doctor, has conclusively demonstrated.
This senior Marine whistleblower Colonel was like Aaron M Kenefick; a strikingly perfect Marine of impeccable standards by every definition or review, who had been awarded so many medals for his wartime service that they would barely fit on his uniform.
Jim Sabow helped usher the ‘Harrier’ jump jet program into the Marine Corps, and completed more than 224 combat flight missions in Vietnam.
Col Sabow had received 27 perfect fitness reports and was serving his 28th year in the Marines when he died because he knew too much. Jim Sabow was not going to go along with the illegal activity, so he was murdered.
Like Col. James Sabow, Aaron M Kenefick knew too much.
As a Marine staff non-commissioned officer, Aaron Kenefick had a top security clearance and he came to learn much about the illegal and thus unacceptable nature of Mark Kimmitt when he became his aid. He left information behind that was only to be used and released in the event of his death.
This story is intended to be the match that lights the fuse that will blow the protective walls back while exposing in the most sure fire and irreversible way, the utterly treasonous behaviors and actions of a pack of current and former generals and other officers who used the Afghanistan and Iraq wars for their own agendas and took many innocent lives from all sides in the process.
One of those lives was Aaron Kenefick. I can’t accept that and I suspect almost all Americans feel the same way. This is the ugly and dirty side of war that the mainstream press used to pay attention to and seems to gloss over today.
The Kimmitts are a classic example of the revolving-door syndrome of U.S. military officers and defense contractors. Such double-dipping is commonplace. It is one of the things President Eisenhower meant when he referred to the dangers of the “military-industrial complex.” It is a self-replicating monster that feeds on war, death, and destruction.
Through a list of sources, none of which will be identified at this point, I have learned things about this young Marine’s life and death that will absolutely make your skin crawl.
His death was called for by a system of corruption within the U.S. military and State Dept. and while we know of several people that are involved in this terrible and tragic story of government dereliction of duty and dishonor that left several men dead in addition to Gunnery Sergeant Keneflck, we know there is one name that is found consistently over and over again in this story and that names is Kimmitt.
Mark Kimmitt. He was the general during Iraq who was always on camera trying to account for the unpredictable bad behaviors of the U.S. military.
He’s more than bad news, this is the man who orchestrated purely illegal actions in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He is the brain behind the Bedouin wedding attack famously recreated in the Turkish film ‘Valley of the Wolves’. He had his hands deep in the Abu Ghraib incident which left a scar and a dirty stain on the American conscience.
February 2004: Red Cross Says Up to 90 Percent of Detainees in Abu Ghraib Are Innocent of Any Crimes (VN: Remember, that is where they were sodomizing children as young as 6 and doing it in front of their parents to make them talk. This was reported by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker. He said he could not stand the screams of the children he heard on the video.)
In February 2004, a confidential report by the International Committee of the Red Cross says that “military intelligence officers told [us] that in their estimate between 70 percent and 90 percent of the persons deprived of their liberty in Iraq had been arrested by mistake.”
Half or more of all prisoners in Iraq are held at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. This report echoes the conclusions of an unpublished US Army report by Maj. Gen. Donald Ryder given to Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the top US commander in Iraq, on November 5, 2003 (see November 5, 2003).
Ryder, the US Army’s provost marshal, reported that some Iraqis had been held for several months for nothing more than expressing “displeasure or ill will” towards US troops. And it said the process for deciding which arrested Iraqis posed security risks and which should be released violated the military’s own policies. It also complains that the continuing influx of new prisoners detained despite little evidence against them threatens to strain the prison system.
Senior officers claim that Brig. Gen. Barbara Fast, the top Army intelligence officer in Iraq, often ruled last against the release of prisoners, even vetoing the recommendations of a military police commander and military intelligence officers. (Jehl and Zernike 5/30/2004) Similarly, Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, who investigates abuses at Abu Ghraib prison around this time (see February 26, 2004), will later say very few prisoners there were affiliated with any terrorist group.
Taguba saw classified documents revealing that there were only “one or two” suspected al-Qaeda prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Most of the detainees were not even connected to the Iraqi insurgency. (Hersh 6/17/2007) Despite this evidence, Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt will later claim, “If they were innocent, they wouldn’t be at Abu Ghraib.… The number that were released because they were innocent? That number… is zero.
Persons are held at Abu Ghraib because they are determined to be security threats, imminent security threats here in [Iraq].” (Jehl and Zernike 5/30/2004) – Source: historycommons.org{2}
And so we are forced to confront the truth… that the war and the situation within that prison were all designed to terrorize the Iraqi people and as I have been told so many times, all one needed to do was approach U.S. soldiers and say some person in their area was a ‘terrorist’ to instantly see them arrested. Therefore the Americans were frequently used without their knowledge, to settle personal scores and debts between Iraqi people.
Former General Mark Kimmitt
From the Beirut IndyMedia article: WHO IS GEN. MARK KIMMITT: PR Man for Genocide; Dad Is DC Lobbyist
Gen. Kimmitt is the PR man for the Iraq massacre and the deputy commander. His dad is a double-dipping ex-Army man making his money off of the war his son is promoting.
Brig. Gen. Mark T. Kimmitt, US Army, is the spokesman for the US military in Iraq. He is also the deputy operations commander. He currently is the main apologist for US atrocities in Falluja and southern Iraq.
As part of his PR efforts, he frequently employs email. His email address is kimmitt.m (at)
skynet.be
He used the private Belgian ISP during his service at NATO’s SHAPE headquarters in Belgium.
Kimmitt’s father, Joseph Stanley (Stan) Kimmitt, a former Col. in Army (an artilleryman like Mark), has parlayed his military service into a Washington, DC, public relations, or lobbyist, firm — Kimmitt, Senter, Coates, & Weinferter. As Gen. Kimmitt promotes the war in Iraq, his father represents defense contractors such as Textron Defense Systems, Talley Defense Systems, and Boeing (maker of the Army’s Apache attack helicopter).
The Kimmitts are a classic example of the revolving-door syndrome of U.S. military officers and defense contractors. Such double-dipping is commonplace. It is one of the things President Eisenhower meant when he referred to the dangers of the “military-industrial complex.” It is a self-replicating monster that feeds on war, death, and destruction.
Ironically, S. Joseph Kimmitt was the secretary and close friend of Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana, after Kimmitt’s military service. Sen. Mansfield came to see the Vietnam war as unnecessary and would doubtless be opposed to the Iraq war if he were still alive.
Gen. Kimmitt’s brother, Joseph “Jay” Kimmitt, is a Washington, DC, lobbyist employed by Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Truck Corp. the No. 1 maker of concrete mixers, trash haulers and military trucks. Now it wants a bigger slice of the homeland-security pie, too. And Jay Kimmitt hired a Washington-based PR firm (not his father’s) to get it. Another example of the revolving door, Jay Kimmitt served 27 years in the Army he is now selling to.

Beirut IndyMedia{3)
According to many independent sources, Kimmitt is connected with every incident that beats on our American conscience. I have been going over this material for three years, since right after the ambush took place, and while I think many Americans know Kimmitt’s name, they do not understand the full impact of what this man means to our dark legacy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Again, according to information gleaned from many sources, it appears that Kimmitt is behind the Ganjagal Ambush that left four Marines (One was a Navy Corpsman, as I said ‘Marines’) dead for no reason other than the fact that Aaron Kenefick; who had a top security clearance, was Marine Force Recon (Marine Corps’s special forces like Green Berets and Navy SEAL’s) and had been Kimmitt’s aide and through that experience, knew too much to remain alive.
Kenefick Couldn’t Stand Kimmitt
Kimmitt and Dan Senor
SSgt Aaron Kenefick
As a top army commander, Kimmitt used this Marine to conduct his dirty work and, knowing that Kenefick was a Marine’s Marine with honor connected to his every move, Kimmitt knew he was a direct threat.
Kimmitt sent Aaron Kenefick to Iraq once for questioning a directive, another time Kenefick was sent to Africa because Kimmitt was frustrated with him.
A pattern developed where Aaron Kenefick began receiving packages in the middle of the night that he had to then deliver to his ‘boss’, Kimmitt.
Two times quite famously, Aaron Kenefick, as a Marine Staff Sergeant, absolutely berated General Kimmitt in front of a decent number of fellow Americans.
This proves that the Marine not only knew Kimmitt was dirty, very dirty; it also demonstrates that Kimmitt was scared to death of what this Marine could do to his career.
So in the end, he had Kenefick sent to a village in Afghanistan called ‘Ganjgal’ which is a short distance from Camp Joyce; a forward operating base in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province (Pesh Valley) that I reported from in 2007.
This village was ‘hot’ and firmly established as a Taliban stronghold. The Russians learned about Ganjgal during their recent war in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989.
Mothers of Russian soldiers sojourned here to make deals and get their prisoner of war sons back. The place is virtually impenetrable. Kimmitt knew this. It was the second event in three days Kenefick was sent on that led to a major deadly attack. Two days earlier, on 06 September 2009, an Afghan soldier right next to Aaron was killed, Aaron received a shrapnel injury. All of this contact, particularly Ganjgal, was avoidable.
“There was U.S. out there, it doesn’t matter if it is (name redacted) or a Marine. Also we were being told to ask grid locations of the fallen how many radius and how much equipment was lost. All this during a fight when the commander was on the ground busy coordinating and fighting. That stuff can be done during the AAR brief. He didn’t have time to answer those questions. Also they wanted a plan of action for the missing Marines. Well, they were looking for them, that is all you ever can do.” (USMC witness, name redacted)
“So many times (redacted) asked crazy questions. The fight was long and heavy and I assure anyone, he was doing everything he could. My feeling is that the Marines and the (redacted) ANA, ABP were left out to dry. It’s a horrible feeling but that’s how I feel about it.” (USMC witness, name redacted)
Early Morning Ambush
The following account of the battle at Ganjgal village in Afghanistan’s Pesh Valley is from: Bing West’s book, “The Wrong War: Grit, Stratedy, and the Way out of Afghanistan”
From the start, one advisor – Corporal Dakota Meyer – didn’t like it. Dancing Goat 2 seemed haphazard, with too many loose parts and no single commander. “We should go in expecting contact,” Meyer argued, “not expecting to sip tea.” (VN: The Goat is Baphomet which is occult/satanism. Remember, I told the story of a man with Baphomet on the back of his T-shirt in a grocery store in my town? I asked him if he was "MILITARY" and he stammered and said "WHY DID YOU ASK ME THAT?" I said, "Because you have Baphomet on your T-shirt and you look like an officer, he never answered me and ran out of the store. Even the clerk was surprised at his behavior. So these satanists high up officers in the military are everywhere.)
Tasked with driving a HUMVEE with a Mark 19 40 mm gun mounted in the turret, Meyer was to provide support if the advisors advancing with the lead platoon ran into trouble. As he stood beside his truck at the release point in the predawn light, women, children and goats flocked past him, fleeing out of the valley. He tried to question an old man with a long white beard, but the man refused to shake his hand and hurried past.

Ahead of Meyer, four Marine advisors accompanied the Afghan platoon into the village. The terrain provided no cover. The strong houses lay up-slope of the rocky dirt road.
First Lieutenant Michael E. ‘Mike’ Johnson radioed that he was approaching the mullah’s house.
A long concrete schoolhouse lay off to the right, together with a series of terraces supported by stout, chest-high stone walls that prevented soil erosion. Unseen, enemy fighters were crouched below the windows of the schoolhouse and inside the houses. they were hiding in the alleyways and, most critically, they were dug in behind the stone terrace walls to the east.
They had concealment, bulletproof cover, surprise and superior numbers. They opened fire on the lead element at 0530, shooting machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG’s) downhill with the rising sun at their backs -
Leatherneck Magazine
The different accounts outlined by Bing West in his book paints a clear picture of the army’s refusal to support these men:
"Army Captain William ‘Will’ Swenson ran up to the mouth of the wash and grabbed at two
askars (Afghan soldiers) who were running away. As he yelled at them, bullets hopped the stones at his feet. Altogether, more than 100 enemy were shooting from entrenched positions to the north and east. Websson was carrying a radio called an MBTR 148 with a long whip antennal He called to the Operations Center
“The f—– won’t shoot the arty.”
“This is Highlander 6,” he screamed. “Heavy enemy fire. Request immediate suppression. Fire KE 3354. Will adjust. And get that air in here!” Fifty meters behind Swenson, Army Captain Raymond Kaplan, the 1-32 intelligence officer, took up the cause, yelling over his radio that KE 3365 was the proper target. “Fire. Fire, g–d—–. Smoke. Smoke.”
Kaplan sent the message seven times. Everyone was trying to talk over the same frequency, cutting each other off in mid-sentence. Kaplan was sure his requests were heard loud and clear. “The TOC (tactical operations center) won’t clear a mission.” Kaplan radioed to Swenson, “The f—– won’t shoot the arty.”
Major Peter Granger
Major Peter Granger, the executive officer in command of the battalion while Lieutenant Colonel Mark O’Donnell, a two-combat tour Ranger, was on leave, arrived at the TOC after the fight had started.
“They didn’t know where all their soldiers were,” Granger said later. “They didn’t know if they’d be calling fire on their own (men). They didn’t have SA (situational awareness).”
An enraged Swenson screamed that he wanted rounds placed on the enemy. How the Hell was he to know where everyone was? He was ducking machine-gun fire, and he knew exactly where the enemy gunners were – on a knoll to his right front, trying to kill him.
They’re all over the place, Swenson thought. I may not make it out of here.
Several hundred meters to the west, Cpl Meyer and Staff Sergeant Juan Rodriguez-Chavez were standing next to their HUMVEEs, listening to the heavy firing. Meyer called Marine First Sergeant Christopher Garza, who was pinned down next to Marine 1st Lt. Ademola Gabayo, asking to go forward to rescue Johnson.
Negative came the reply. Marine SSgt Aaron M. Kenefick, one of the four trapped advisors, came up on the net. “They’re all around us,” Kenefick yelled. “They’re in the house next door. If we leave this house they’ll shoot us down.”

Over the radio, Meyer intermittently heard 1st Lt. Johnson trying to send his grid. The net was clogged with a dozen soldiers trying to talk over the din. stepping on each others communications. Johnson found a hole in the constant stream of cluttered conversations.
“Clear the net,” Johnson said. “I have wounded here. My pos is 793…” He never finished his sentence. West also reveals that just when things were turning really bad…
Over a captured handheld radio, a Taliban leader was taunting them. Ahmad Shafi, Swenson’s interpreter, provided a translation.
“You came in,” a mature voice said. “Now I decide how you leave. We killed Russians here. Now we kill you, unless you surrender. Stop shooting and I will let you live.”
These were frontline fighters from Pakistan, many in their 30′s and some in their 40′s, veterans of dozens of skirmishes and several large battles. Unlike in the Korengal and at Barge Matal, their radio discipline was excellent. There hadn’t been any intercepts of careless chatter before the attack, and no warnings from the residents of Ganjgal. The fighters had been digging in for over a day.
The U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division did not assist the Marines when they became pinned down. Artillery from a nearby base was not utilized, and a pair of helicopters which came to their aid, were sent back and not allowed to help.
