[John Batchelor just interviewed me for his show tonight (8/24/15) and asked that I repost this entry from last March. It is more relevant now than ever, with the Department of Justice conducting an investigation into the Clinton staff over possible violations of national security protocols.

From conservative-mole-within-State, Diplomad: In the late-1990s, I was working in State’s Political-Military Bureau in Washington. One of our duties was to work with the Pentagon planning and executing “noncombatant evacuation operations” (NEOs) in countries where the security situation had gone belly up. We had the job of getting our people out of harm’s way. This […]
