I see that James Fenker is here on Jim Buckely's substack. He has been with Russian's as long as I

have. Mr. Fenker also knows at least some of the problems here in Santa Barbara with Russian's but I doubt that most have the Intelligence Background to really put it all together and to understand how the Santa Barbara So-Called-Leaders have really let their community down and in fact concealed major Security Problems. As they in Government F----Up , Cover-Up and Move-Up. Seems this is Santa Barbara's Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) As they say in the US Navy "Boondoggle" all way here in Santa Barbara. Boondoggle Definition - a wasteful or impractical project or activity often involving the governments graft, greed and kickbacks. That just about explains almost every leader here in Good Ole Boy Santa Barbara. I just and sitting back waiting for the next Santa Barbara Executive Head to be lopped off. Howard Walther member of a Military - I had 11 of my family members serve in WWII and to-a-person they would be flat-out-disgusted on what has gone down here and how the So-Called-Leaders have destroyed this town.

Jim, in reply to your comment .... "How do you explain the lies of the 51 "intelligence experts" who claimed Hunter's laptop had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation?"

I do not condone that misconduct in Washington one bit and those that do make a mockery of those that served. Right out of University, with an Engineering Degree in 1982, because of my background, I was placed at Submarine Base Bangor on the Ohio Class Submarine>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Submarine_Base_Bangor

I am stating Mr. Clappers background because with his 32 years of Air Force service he obviously has real contradictions which is even worse in light of the Corruption in Washington and the Corruption here in Santa Barbara and frankly the Corruption in our system.

I was over in Russian in early 1990s and saw first hand the Corruption there which was hard to get your head around it all. The murders, the utter ruthlessness of criminals there taking over Russia.

I spent half of my life with Russians and I know exactly how they operate and they are very good which now reminds me alot of the people who operate in the US and right here in Good Ole Santa Barbara. I cannot fix the world, Washington, but I can address the serious problems here. Read carefully again Tom Parkers article Perceptions of Political Corruption

Too Often the Harbingers of Stark Reality By Tom Parker Sat Feb 22, 2020 | 3:23pm>>>

Read further in Mr. Parker's article and I quote "conceal their being symbiotically joined at their hip pockets. In today’s electronic-world-of emails and high-speed research, such concealment rarely lasts"

They have wire-tapped and brought in Satellite for all the Good Ole Boys and Good Ole Gals here in Santa Barbara who are all being extracted one by one and also in entire groups like the SBPD.

If I had communications with Clapper, I would tell him directly his statements about the Laptop and other statements he has made in the Press are utter BS and a dishonor to his service.

I read this article by Santa Barbara local Jim Buckely and I quote "MSNBC is filled with left-leaning former intelligence department heads (former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan),"

James Clapper was a lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force for most of his career and is a relatively high rank in the Air Force with alot of responsibilty. Clapper retired from the Air Force after 32 years.

My Grandfather was a full Bird Colonel in the Air Force and as an Executive Officer was in charge of most of the engineering at Wrigth Patterson Air Force Base for most of our war planes.

My Grandfather retired from the Air Force after 32 years just like Clapper but he was level higher in rank and was responsible for more Military Intelligence than Clapper.

Clapper in August 2001, was named as the director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (later renamed National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) where he served until June 2006.[26]

Clapper also would work for defense contractors who provide Intelligence to the CIA , NSA, DIA & DNI

Ok where am I going with all of this. When you have a serious Threat in a geographical area, like Santa Barbara with Russian Organized Crime and also do not forget the "Ukraine Mafia" you are going to get overhead Satalitte Coverage very quickly and extensive ground surveillance very very quickly.

Here is my challegence to everyone in Santa Barbara including you Mr. Buckley instead of making disparaging remarks about Officers of the United States Airforce you just may want to dig deep or dig just alittle and find out how the Good Ole Boys and Good Ole Gals, those left leaning types, just lost total control of Santa Barbara County. I will give you a clue .... look up the name of Linda Esparza Dozer>>> https://www.thechannels.org/features/2019/04/24/sbcc-hires-former-fbi-agent-for-new-job-as-title-ix-coordinator/ (I love Linda's smile as Equity Manager at SBCC)

And look at the very interesting new take-over-Commander Executive at SB Sheriffs Office >>

Gary Warkentin as its new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), an executive-level position that leads the agency’s Operations Support and Financial Support Divisions.

Gary Warkentin is a high ranking DOD Executive that worked at the Pentagon and the DOD for most of his career so what the heck is Mr. Warkentin doing here for goodness sakes???!!!!!!!!!

Gary Warkentin's professional Military Background is here>>> https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-warkentin-26611029/

Why is the US Government all over Santa Barabara???

I had priviledge and yes it is a privildge to serve our country working with our US Military.

You-all-locales, as Mr. Buckely says "left leaning" have very-very-serious-problems in Santa Barbara.
