Purpose

Why publish a personal website showcasing just an ordinary person like Peter  Jalajas? If Peter is not a prolific blogger or a celebrity of note, this really does appear as a vain concept! In actuality, this site is a product of [Dissolved Company], with the intent of presenting an accurate account of its CEO.  This website will primarily focus on his career as a Naval Aviator, but will also portray a few related contributions from his personal life. So why is it necessary to put this information out to the public? Peter has his own account: “In December of 1992 the USS Ranger sailed to the coast of Somalia in support of Operation Restore Hope. I flew the very first mission of the airwing down the coastline to perform electronic surveillance on any threatening radar signatures,  while at the same time our sister squadron had an F-14 equipped with a TARPS pod take aerial photography of critical regions. When we returned to the ship, the first duty after getting debriefed on our carrier landing was to hit the dirty shirt mess where we could grab a bite to eat. The small television in the top corner of this cafeteria always played CNN news. And I’ll never forget how they were already reporting our surprising overflight of Somalia within an hour of the actual event!” So what does this personal account have to do with anything 26 years later? Well, almost every detail that was reported by the CNN news crew was wrong! Now, it’s not for Pete Jalajas to know if DOD had purposely misled the public on the story or whether the news reporters just made their best educated guess knowing about basic U.S. military assets in the area. That detail doesn’t matter. But what is for certain is that any combination of reasons - propoganda, intelligence operations, bad sources and information, biased journalism, agenda-driven journalism, etc. -  can form to mislead the public in the various news programs and websites. Today’s popular term for this is Fake News.

Dedication

Much has changed since 1992. Peter, having retired after twenty years service to the Navy, already experienced operations in the war theatre of Desert Storm. But many decades of civilian life in the states allowed him to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many of his young friends and squadronmates as well as those soldiers on the hot soils of the Middle Eastern deserts. This website is dedicated to them, while memories of LT Neal “Eddy” Jones, LTJG David S. Jennings, CDR John “Bug” Roach and LT William (Tom) Costen - just few of the many pilots lost during Peter’s active duty - still resonate in the spirit that steers him. These four touched the life of Pete Jalajas as they worked together, and they would never get the recognition and honor they fully deserved. Just the fact that entertainment and sports news takes over center stage in our daily lives should make one ponder how sick our nation is when men and women are still dying in Afghanistan 17 years later. Our country has invested so dearly in this particular foreign combat theatre, and still does. Many years later a careful introspection of our own nation reveals that we are experiencing culture wars, wars on ideas, wars on our sovereignty and wars on credible science - all on our own soil! Peter noticed that part of what contributes to this disarray is the war on information, or misrepresentation of events. Truthful facts and opposing viewpoints are continuously omitted, suppressed and obscured from the public in ways that detract us from having a good understanding of current events. And also little known to most, in many cases the gate-keepers of our media’s information are hyper-biased NGOs (Non- Governmental Organizations or non-profits that work independently from the government), some backed up by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mission

Our company’s mission is peaceful and reasonable. It is respectable and necessary. Our services and media products embrace our First Amendment’s dedication to free speech, and attempt to fill in that missing puzzle piece of information that will allow our people to better grasp “the big picture.”
