Collapse all
|Graduating from the School of International Relations at the University of Southern California, I worked my way through undergraduate and then graduate school. At the start of graduate school, I was recommended by the Chair of Middle Eastern Studies at the School of International Relations to join Analytical Assessments Corporation, AAC, a think tank that dealt with national security concerns. AAC operated in the Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. areas. Later I worked for Eaton, Information Management Systems Division, and have been an educator for many years. I also had a Christian radio show and then a podcast of which issues of national security were discussed on every program.
Working with Top Secret clearances for AAC and Eaton, IMDS, I researched, analyzed, and wrote on matters regarding U.S. national security agencies including the United States Departments of Defense and the Defense Intelligence Agency, and other defense and intelligence-related organizations.- Ending California's Water "Crisis" as well as the fabricated crisis that is said to exist in other states. With emerging global food shortages federally mandatory water storage infrastructure must be required annually.
- Securing Energy Independence and working on issues to promote and safeguard the humanitarian, economic, environmental, and national security aspects regarding fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry.
- Delivering on School Choice for all children. Every family should be able to choose the best possible education available for their children. No longer should children be trapped in failing government schools. Therefore, to ensure the education, health, safety, and well-being of America's children, learning opportunities should be based on educational options.
Having had top secret clearances and believing in service-over-self, support me, Denice Gary-Pandol for United States Senate.
