Tracing the Sam Bacile NetworkSteve A. Klein lives in the interior southern California region of Hemet/San Jacinto He is associated with an small insurance agency, Wise and a contracting firm "Heritage Ranch"
http://wisehomeinsurance.com/ Klein describes himself:
I am a born-again Christian – in history Cromwell and George Washington are my heroes. I look at life as ceaseless spiritual warfare ending only in a noble death for King Jesus – and I conduct myself as if it is spiritual warfare, using the skills of the USMC to resist evil with good.
... With 9/11 2001 I immersed myself with Islam in America – went to every major Mosque in SoCal with Arabic-speaking Christians as translators and uncovered useful information about many Mosques being the head quarters of terrorism in America.
... Contracted with USMC, IMEF – to teach Marines Arabic and Islamic Philosophy – fired by the USMC as I taught the TRUTH about Mohammed and how Muslim soldiers and leaders follow his murderous example. I was paid $500 an hour and was told by the IMEF operations officer, “Mr. Klein, you may be correct about Mohammed, but I have been commanded by the Pentagon that I must be PC … and PC I will be. I politely told the Colonel that I would not comply and was fired.
