I haven’t dug into them much— I had found it interesting that there was a AFRICOM in Germany, I did not know this and did not know of them at all. Stevens had recently been in Germany and with Libya being in Africa— a AFRICOM visit seemed a possibility.

AFRICOM works with USAID a bit. USAID was very recently booted out of Russia, it appears to have been a pretty sudden thing and it was shortly after the murder of the ambassador.

Russia seems to think USAID is a spy type front for the CIA or some such. I don’t know but I do know that USAID are into winning the hearts and minds of the people that they help. Sounds like a PR shop that hands out goodies to me. I suppose that would be an excellent place to have spies or whatever. Who knows...

AFRICOM works with USAID on pandemic junk. They work on military relations with Africa, help with political stability, counter terrorism and the less advertised— protecting access to natural resources. They are a “geographic combat command”.

I suspect AFRICOM is very strongly connected with CIA, spying and all that junk. ??? I don’t know, just guessin’ around.

AFRICOM's General Ham was in Vegas, I believe, the day before Obama visited on his fundraising mission in the aftermath of Benghazi- according to one report I saw.

There's a remote chance it was Reno but I am pretty sure the article said Vegas.
