Our favorite IVAW member has brought out his third and fourth videos in a series in which he claims he’ll expose IVAW for the fake organization that it is. He claims it took so long to bring out this video because he’s been in the hospital with heart problems. In case you haven’t seen them, his other two videos along with our commentary are here and here.
As I suspected, MacBeth points to Kelly Dougherty as one of the people to help him craft his phony stories. He also fingers Amadee Braxton (a civilian liason from IVAW to other organizations with the organizational expertise to keep them afloat) as the bagman who funded his charade. Braxton keeps a low profile because of her duties.
MacBeth claims he had another faerie tale that was more believable than the one that went public, so I guess he blames IVAW for him being exposed as a liar and fake. He also claims that the IVAW tried to keep the video out of the hands of “pro-war” bloggers because they knew that it would be debunked in about two seconds.
MacBeth also ties in Vets for Peace and Socialist Alternative to IVAW antics, which comes as no surprise to regular readers of this blog.
In the second video, the real stunner – he claims that his stories were all lies. Shocked? Me neither. He does defend the troops and apologizes to them (but he’s still mad at his drill sergeant – so am I still mad at my drill sergeant. One of these days, SFC Jason Hurst, one of these days….). But he continues that IVAW knew he was lying from the start and manufactured the DD214 that they used to defend him. Since the first time I wrote about him, I’ve seen a few altered DD214s from IVAW, too, so I tend to believe it. For those of you who haven’t seen his fake DD214 here it is;
And here’s his real DD 214;
MacBeth also claims that he’s not a pro-war plant as some members of IVAW have suggested. He admits that IVAW knew he was a fake from the beginning. Honestly, I don’t know how they couldn’t know. But here’s the second video;
Again, I caution the reader that Jesse MacBeth is a proven liar – vitually nothing he says can be accepted at face value. That’s why This Ain’t Hell is here – to bring you the documented proof. MacBeth’s videos only serve as a starting point. He claims his book is chugging along, too. That should be a laugh riot.
As a point of reference, here’s his original videos. A year ago, there were still people who believed him (read the comments on the second video);
Added Sunday, 9AM: MacBeth added a third video this weekend;
I hate you (Jonn) with the burning intensity of a million suns right now. I generally check his page atleast twice a day and you still beat me to this. Do you have a bat phone set up or somthing?
Jonn wrote: Hey, I’m just a fan.
Right on, Jonn! You do ok for a old fart that used to jump out of perfectly good aircraft, lol. Keep up the good work.
Thing is, why are we supposed to believe him this time? Why is he supposedly suddenly telling the truth? An attack of conscience? Yeah, right.
Maybe what he’s saying is at least partially true, but absent confirmation I won’t take any of it seriously.
Jonn wrote: Yeah, that’s kinda what I wrote.
Jonn…I hope this won’t in any way sidetrack Claymores career as an author and stop his writing career! He has way to much talent to give it up!!!
PS…Now, that McBride Dude really looks like a Muppet!
My Bad…I meant MacBeth.
MacBeth is a liar…nuff said!
Someone should save these confession videos before he deletes them.
Amadee Braxton is a good example of the incestuous nature of the anti-America, anti-war radical left.
She’s the one that provided the DD-214 to the people who were the first to investigate MacBeth.
John Braxton is a union puke in Philly tied to US Labor Against the War (USLAW).
John Grant’s VFP Chapter gives some young guy named Braxton their yearly award and payout. Now of course some of their functions (awards dinners) are held at union facilities.
War is a racket? So is “Peace”.
*PST* Lilyea? Ya’ll ever notice the *bots* splet yer first name wrong? LMAO!
Macbeth makes a point that is very true and one that I pound home in defense of the troops against the smears of left.
Soldiers are normal people. All the troops are normal people.
We don’t recruit from a separate gene poll or another planet. They are a reflection of society, a slice of society.
So I ask people who tell me things like MacBeth’s original charges, “Is there anyone you know in your life, family, friends, work, church or other aspect that would be capabile of doing the awful things the radical left claims our troops do?”
Vast majority of people say, “No.”
I’m not saying the military is perfect. It’s a slice of society, so there will be people who rob, rape and steal, but to a much lesser extent than in society.
I have to laugh when I hear people say we need to “fix” the military so they are more like society. Yeah, let’s drag them down to the least common denominator. Thanks but no thanks.
Holy crap! A Steven Den Beste sighting!!
I hadn’t seen Lady MacBeth’s DD-214 before… He didn’t even make it through Basic according to his time in. One month, 13 days doesn’t even get you through BMT in my book.
The little sucker also stole medical services from the VA, to the tune of about $11,000.
I finally checked out the videos between working on papers this evening. He’s making this shit up as he goes along. So I left a comment telling him that he’s pathetic and a piece of shit.
I went back a few minutes ago and found that these little temper tantrum videos have all been removed by the user. I’m not sure what to say about that, but what a jackass.
Huh. Wonder if Kelly Dougherty and Amadee Braxton know that it’s a Federal Crime to forge a DD-214?
Wonder if the FBI know about Kelly Dougherty and Amadee Braxton?
wow, sounds like this guy went to great lengths to fabricate a bunch of bullshit
What really sucks is those of us who have done our service to our country and we’re doubted by, hell, some people we even know and estranged for years because of our service and when you are asked you tell them what they want to know, they doubt you. Sorry, I’m just not that proud of my 3 deployments (OIF/OEF) and 8 yrs of service and all the schools I went through; that drive came from me. I’m not one of those who wear my 214 and 4 rows like (they are) medals, kudos to all that hold dear to that being the biggest thing they’ve ever done with their lives, but I’m just not proud… and I served in some of the highest capacities possible with numerous accolades.
Sure, I’m a Republican, sure I want to see little bastards like this get fried. But hey, it’s something I did and I have bigger things to do since being told, ‘sorry you’re too broke to stay after 3 tours’. I loved alot of things about my time in the service, but I also hate it, so, yeah, I’ve moved on from the ‘proud soldier’ mentality. I mean, why stay stuck in some damn memory that was a (8yr) snap-shot of your life?
Also, who the heck does anyone know that carries around copies of their 214s and every medal theyve ever earned? I was asked today by someone I know to see my 214s. I said ‘sure’. theyre going to have to wait a few days. He said, ‘anyone who’s done as much as you did should carry that #$%^ around with them wherever you go’ I laughed and said I would, because I will. But why is it people want to see this old junk? Like I said, I’m not proud and I had alot of the most sought after schools and assignments…people would have died to say they did what I did. I really feel like I’ve been ostrocized for any good that I’ve done.
Furthermore, I’m not really aware of what the VFW and Am Legion do and quite frankly I’m not a member and never will be because I don’t want to be… Like I said, if these are the biggest things going on in people’s lives, kudos. But it’s just not me. I wonder if I’m the only one who feels this way.
The only reason I decided to post this was because I was visiting a friend of mine of 15 years from the lovely ‘show me’ state and he wanted to see everything on me… he’s a VERY PROUD Vietnam Vet. I’m happy for him. But now I think I’m just going to show him my 214s over skype when I get home to satisfy him and then tell him I never want to speak to him again. I don’t feel I owe anything to anybody and this has been pissing me off for 2 days now, so this is just to vent, anyone else in the same boat?
Quite frankly, I don’t think even if he had the physical copy in his hands, he’d have any more respect for me, which is sad. I think his point is to have some pride in this ‘great thing’ I’ve done. I’m just too idealistic to go and toot the ‘I’m proud’ horn. It’s not what I’m doing NOW, so why do I feel like I should give my buddy what he wants? I think I’m just going to start shutting people down and live as a hermit or some shit… I see why poli-chickens hate putting their information out there…there’s always someone out there who wants to pull apart their life for their own satisfaction… and there’s still no respect afterward. A pity I have to throw away a friend and mentor that I’ve known since I was 14, but hey, I’d doubt he even cares… well, there’s my ranting vent, sorry for being long-winded, but man, I’m pissed. I’ll let ya know how it goes.
My advice to anyone in the same boat… you were dissolutioned once, don’t subject yourself to abuse by others.
