On August 6, 2011, a tragic event unfolded when Extortion 17, a Chinook helicopter, was shot down, resulting in the loss of 30 American servicemen, including 17 Navy SEALs from the legendary SEAL Team 6. It marked the largest loss of life during the War on Terror, a war America was told started because of Osama bin Laden and 9/11.
In Alan Parrot's narratives, an oral history captured by Nick Noe, he puts tragic events, including 9/11, Benghazi, and Extortion 17, into perspective. Alan, an Arabist, spent much of his life with royalty in the Middle East and learned about such national tragedies through observation, conversations, and omission. He explains how diplomatic immunity played a role in 9/11 and details the weapons transfer that resulted in the tragedy in Benghazi.
Behind these heart-wrenching incidents lies a web of secrecy and deception. Startling revelations have come to light, thanks to the evidence shared with the grief-stricken Gold Star families during the debrief. Astonishingly, it appears that Extortion 17 was not a random act of war, but rather a meticulously orchestrated setup. The threads of this conspiracy can be traced back to the historic Osama bin Laden raid, a mere three months prior, and thus 9/11.
Within the pages of this gripping book, you will embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Delve into the enigmatic concept of diya, the key that unlocks the truth behind Extortion 17. Unveiling secrets known to only a privileged few, Extortion 17's Why illuminates the darkest corners of a clandestine world.
Prepare to be captivated by a tale that challenges your perception of reality and sheds light on the shadows. Are you ready to unravel the mysteries and uncover the untold story of Extortion 17?
