Note, above, his duty assignments before and immediately after 911/WTC.

He was Joint Staff in the Directorate for Plans...

And then he was suddenly in ALASKA... which is equivalent to "assigned to hell."

What did he know and REFUSE TO BE A PART OF?

Rings a bell . . .

James Vincent Forrestal (February 15, 1892 – May 22, 1949) was a United States Secretary of the Navy and the first United States Secretary of Defense. Forrestal's death resulted from a fall out of a Bethesda Naval Hospital window which has led to speculation and much controversy. He was also allegedly a member of a super-secret group called Majestic-12, supposedly created by Executive Order on September 24, 1947, by President Harry Truman. This group was supposed to be the main "umbrella group" overseeing UFO research in the aftermath of the Roswell UFO incident, the alleged recovery of a crashed flying saucer and alien bodies in July 1947. He was a supporter of naval battle groups centered on aircraft carriers. In 1954, the Navy's first supercarrier was named the USS Forrestal in his honor as is the headquarters the United States Department of Energy. He is also the namesake of the Forrestal Lecture Series at the United States Naval Academy, which brings prominent military and civilian leaders to speak to the Brigade of Midshipmen.

""To the best information, it's possible it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Walberg said at a news conference. The weapon was likely a handgun."

Wait, he shot himself in the chest?

The weapon was "likely" a handgun?

Does that mean they don't have the gun?

Interesting.

The fact of the matter was he knows about the coming release of Hemorrhagic Fever virus on the world.

The idea is to reduce the world's population to under half a Billion. Reduce first and then cull the low IQ from the population.

He was supposed to run the culling operation in Australia and South East Asia. He refused and shot himself.

Possible and likely? If it was a handgun, it would have been nearby and easy to identify.

I note that he was at Elmendorf from 2000 to 2001 so he might have liked Alaska and requested duty there. As aide to the Chief of the Air Staff for the Airforce, he could get any posting he wanted afterward.

Air Force leadership to be asked to resign


Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley are expected to be asked to resign Thursday, Air Force Times has learned.

The stunning development follows a series of high-profile scandals and disagreements between Air Force leadership and Defense Secretary Robert Gates in the past year, during which both the Pentagon and congressional leadership have increasingly expressed frustration about the Air Force’s top bosses.

The last straw appears to be a report on nuclear weapons handling by Navy Adm. Kirkland Donald, director of naval nuclear propulsion. The critical report convinced Gates that changes must be made.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen recalled Moseley to Washington for an early-morning meeting Thursday. Moseley had been hosting a four-star conclave of top Air Force leaders at the thrice-yearly Corona leadership conference at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Following that meeting, Moseley returned to Corona with Air Force public affairs chief Brig. Gen. Darren McDew. Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England is en route to Wright-Patterson, sources said. He is expected to meet with Wynne to ask for his resignation.

What about that Bomber that went down in the ocean with all 6 crewmen killed here recently? Did that B-52 Bomber have nukes on board?

Re: Brig. General Tinsley DEAD by suicide?
Here's a summary for you who do not read:

Tinsley (Brig Gen) offed himself because he wouldn't go along with selling nukes to black ops/terrorist. He'd been working with Moseley and another airforce dude and both those dudes were asked to resign by Gates (Sec of Defense) because of the nukes showing up in Louisana on a B-52. Well, just a few weeks ago another B-52 crashed in Guam and it was probably loaded with nukes and all the crew were killed... was this a "delivery" of stolen-and-then-sold-to-terrorists nukes by these high-ranking airforce peeps who are now either resigned or dead? What about all the dead B-52 crewmembers and all the other dead B-52 peeps regarding the Louisiana/Minot ND nukes?

Something is really going on here.

"His previous 22-month assignment was executive officer to the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. T. Michael "Buzz" Mosely, who in June resigned under pressure in an agency shake-up."

Oh, shit... this Tinsley knew about the NUkES and the murders and the blackmarket... and would not play ball. He was dirty from 911 and was being blackmailed...
