Jim’s mission is to help Americans understand
that Islam is at war with, and intends to destroy
civilization. Islam is the most deadly existential
threat we have ever faced. We must make one of
two choices. We must decide how to deal with
this threat, this bigoted, biased ideology of hatred
decisively --- or accept that we will bequeath to
our future generations miserable lives of suffering,
terror, poverty, ignorance, and more. The time for
decision making is upon us now!
Program Speaker: Jim Horn
An expert on political and cultural Islam, Jim has
spoken to hundreds of audiences and radio programs, coast-to-coast.
ISLAM HAS DECLARED WAR WITH AMERICA
-- war against females and all non-Moslem people
on earth. Islamist terrorism, a man-caused disaster of epic proportions is not a new phenomenon.
You need to hear from JIM HORN. He held TOP
SECRET, SCI (eyes only) security clearances in
the diplomatic and national security services for a
quarter of a century – a decade living and working
in the Middle East. He thoroughly understands
the dangers of Islam and Sharia Law.
As an Embassy Security Officer specializing in
counter-espionage and counter-terrorism, Jim was
responsible for keeping our American Embassies
safe. Protocols he developed are employed today
at the White House and Supreme Court, but were
ignored in Benghazi. He was selected and trained
as a hostage negotiator
Jim Horn won a number of awards including one
of the nation’s highest civilian awards for valor in
Cambodia in 1975. The veracity of what he has to
say is confirmed with his writings being censored
by the CIA, and by Islamist fatwas to “silence” him.
Retiring SMSgt Carlotta Tarver is overwhelmed by a
shadow box presented by retired CMSgt Pam Kieth.
Chief Kieth traveled from her home in the Bay Area to
present the beautiful gift that she had promised Carlotta 12 years ago on her retirement. The presentation was
made at the formal retirement ceremony held in the
Wing Auditorium. This was followed by a less formal
but equally enjoyable reception at the Way-point Cafe!
Congratulations to Alumni Member Carlotta Tarver on
the conclusion of a wonderful career!
Jim is currently active with law enforcement Terror
Early Warning groups, Terrorism Task Forces, as
well as the private sector, in Terrorist Response
groups.
If you want to hear fascinating stories and learn
how to protect America from the insidious stealth
invasion of Islamic colonizers and about Sharia
law, Jim Horn is your man.

Inez "Izzy" McGarraugh here. Craig was diagnosed with glioblastoma in November
2013. He fought a long battle and passed away peacefully
on May 18, 2015. Craig had so many wonderful stories,
memories of his days with Jet America and Alaska Airlines.
My heart aches, I miss him so much. Craig was a wonder
