On August 7, 2014, Barack Obama announced “Operation Annoy ISIS,” ordering U.S. aircraft to drop humanitarian supplies to tens of thousands of Yezidi refugees fleeing the terrorists of the Islamic State. He also ordered U.S. combat aircraft to be ready to launch airstrikes to protect Americans in Erbil, Iraq, and to lift the siege of the Yezidis.
The airstrikes began on Aug. 8, 2014, when two F/A-18 aircraft dropped 500-pound laser-guided bombs on a mobile artillery piece near Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
On September 10, 2014, Obama declared his intention to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIS, while precluding a combat mission for American ground forces in Iraq.
As of October 7, 2014, 60 days into the air campaign against ISIS, a total of 376 airstrikes have been conducted, 266 in Iraq and 110 in Syria, the vast majority targeting vehicles, equipment and buildings, not terrorists.
Supporters of the Obama Administration’s approach to the ISIS threat cite the 1999 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) air campaign in the Kosovo War as an example of how air power alone can end wars.
In January 2014, Welky said that he received an email from the chief pilot of the airline company he worked for, Kalitta. According to the email, there were new requirements that had to be met by all pilots regarding security risk assessments (think TSA).
According to Welky, an action was required on his part to continue his job with the company as a pilot. Welky alleged that the TSA wanted him to sign a waiver to “give up a whole boatload of constitutional rights, regarding security risk assessments as an United States, American commercial pilot.”
Welky says that he knows of only one other pilot in the organization that received the email and that pilot didn’t read the information, but merely signed it to keep his job. He then read the notable portion of the email:
“Please carefully read the statement again, and reconsider your decision. One of the conditions of employment at Kalitta Charters is being enrolled in a status 12.5 security program (at least that’s what it sounds like he is saying). If you select not to agree/participate, we will unfortunately have to make January 14, 2014 your last day of employment with Kalitta Charters.”
Welky performed “135 unscheduled, on-demand charter type work throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii.” Now, he was facing termination for not submitting to what can only be described as unethical practices.
At least one pilot that spoke to Sons of Liberty Media anonymously told us that commercial pilots throughout the industry are aware of Kalitta and what they perceive as unethical practices by the company’s owner Conrad Kalitta. “He’ll do anything for a buck,” an anonymous pilot told us. “And he will find a way to fire you for absolutely no reason,” he added, referencing conversations he had with other pilots who had worked for Kalitta to gain flight time.
“Kalitta Charters is an approved air carrier for the US Department of Defense, US Department of Justice and US Department of Energy, operating critical missions across the globe”
“When it comes to transporting critical cargo safely, securely and on time around the world, no one does it better than us. After all, the Kalitta family began airfreight operations back in 1967. If it fits inside an airplane, we’ve probably flown it – and if we haven’t, we’ve got the team to make it happen”
Mr. Welky is the first American pilot that is known to have stood up against this and is the first American pilot to be fired for his stand. If that wasn’t disturbing enough, Welky went on to describe how thousands of illegal Muslims are being flown into the US in airplanes that have been marked as “empty.”
The former Kalitta Charter pilot recalled Tennessee Rep. Rick Womick (R), a former Air Force pilot and commercial Boeing 777 airline pilot, admitted to flying five flights with Somali immigrants on board from London to New York City. According to Dennis, Womick said that flights would leave the US, land in the UK and be designated as empty for return, but the reality is that every seat would be filled with illegal Muslims. As he landed on the east coast as instructed, he would taxi right past immigrations and customs. The illegals were let off the airplane, given thousands of dollars, along with other benefits.
Understand that he is confessing to a crime before an audience of people. He didn’t just do it once. He did it multiple times!
Welky had some choice words for Rep. Womick, which I fully agree with. Womick was the pilot in command. He had the final say and he knew he wasn’t supposed to be doing this, but he did it anyway, not once, but on several occasions.
Womick, according to federal law is an accomplice to the crime here. He knowingly flew illegals into the country, yet instead of anyone holding him accountable, everyone thinks it’s just fine for Womick to be declared a whistleblower and let off the hook.
Friends, this is why it is important to know who your representatives are. Womick is one that aided illegal Muslims to enter the United States and now he has been calling for Muslims to not be allowed to serve in the US military? Can you say hypocrisy? I can. Womick should be brought up on charges for aiding an illegal invasion of Muslims into the US, and Mr. Welky’s story should be told far and wide until something is done about it.
Yesterday, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action released a video showing campaign staffers of U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes admitting she’s deceiving voters on her energy plan. They promised if she were elected, she’d destroy the coal industry in Kentucky despite publicly “supporting” it.
Now, a newly released second video shows a real estate mogul and top donor to Democrats saying, “She’s going to f**k em as soon as she gets elected.”
“Investigators secretly record video at Grimes fundraising event attended by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, real estate tycoon Niko Elmaleh and New York Knicks owner James Dolan at a swanky NY restaurant,” writes Project Veritas.
It has been suggested for years that President Obama is “purposely enabling the Islamist cause.”
Former Florida Congressman and Retired Lt. Colonel Allen West has now provided evidence to support this claim, according to the TPNN.
West provides a number of examples which he says show that the Obama administration has been “working counter to the security of the United States of America.”
U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes is lying about her support for the state’s coal industry according to Kentucky Democrats, including members of her campaign team, who were captured on a hidden camera video.
The video, produced by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, shows five employees of the Grimes campaign and local Democratic Party affiliates speculating that the Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) is only professing her support for the industry out of political expediency.
“If we can get her elected do you think she is going to do the right thing and she’s gonna try to wipe out that coal industry and go for better resources?” asks an undercover videographer in one segment of the video.
“I absolutely think she is,” responds Fayette County Democratic Party operative Gina Bess.
The video’s release comes as Grimes works to salvage a campaign that has consistently trailed in public polling and which, according to Nate Silver’s election model, has just a 12 percent chance of victory in November.
