  • Mike Prysner; that communist revolutionary hero

    Mike Prysner; that communist revolutionary hero

    Mike Prysner commie lovin punk

    We first wrote about Mike Prysner more than six years ago when we caught him lying about his military service. Mike founded March Forward, the Maoist ANSWER’s veterans group. He used to tell tales about his operations in Iraq, kicking doors and dragging Iraqi women around by the hair. It turns out that he was a radar screen watcher who never set foot outside the wire. Privately, he’s admitted as much to his friends.

    Well, this Kevin Baker fellow, a twice-deployed soldier to Iraq, used to hang around with Prysner, until his head got screwed on straight. When Kevin realized that ANSWER and March Forward were just organizations for the members not for the people they claimed to support, Kevin spoke out. ANSWER, retaliated by convincing Prysner to file a restraining order against Baker to shut him up. Well Kevin came to us to tell his story;

    There’s a well known issue of violating human ethics and stolen valor on the far political left. There’s a saying I heard a while back that goes “ If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud.” I applied this lesson directly towards ANSWER coalitions Mike Prysner.

    Most of you are well aware of Mike Prysner. He’s the Marxist self-described revolutionary who takes full advantage of his time as a non-combat arms enlisted veteran of the war in Iraq to promote himself at any cost. There’s also something even more uniquely self-serving in regards to Prysner. His ability to lie, deceive and prey on people in vulnerable situations. He is, for all intents and purposes, a predator.

    One of the most alarming examples of his predatory scams he runs under the guise of March Forward! is begging for donations to “help” veterans in struggle. This was of course a turning point in my personal relationship with Prysner. He had appealed to donors to give money to a personal friend and fellow infantryman who had gone AWOL. Prysner had written an appeal asking for money to help pay for this soldier’s financial hardships while AWOL. I had found out a year or so later from the soldier himself that none of the donation money ever graced his hand.

    ANSWER is infamous for setting up donations saying they support some cause but pocketing the money for their own gain. After all, being a full time activist and sitting around lying and smoking pot all day takes its toll on everyone.

    However, once I had found out friends and fellow soldiers had been scammed by Prysner, I had finally had enough. I openly stated that Prysner, ANSWER/PSL/MarchForward were in fact all scam organizations led by Brian Becker – Google him, anything Prysner does under the guise of MarchForward! has to be approved by Becker, nullifying the claim that it is a “veterans-led organization” this goes to include Prysner’s “Amazing speech by war veteran” shared by so many. It was in fact written by Brian Becker, Prysner had confided in me that he never actually saw combat.

    After making this public, ANSWER was thrown into a state of panic. I had received endless texts, calls and emails from ANSWER leadership members asking why I was exposing their callous lies. Once they realized the intimidation attempts by archaic cold war washed-up hippies wouldn’t work on me, they did something hilariously unexpected, they ran to the very system they “dedicate” their lives to destroying in trying to stop the truth of their predatory ways from leaking out.

    Mike Prysner, the “great communist revolutionary” who hates the police, the capitalist state and does not acknowledge the legitimacy of the United States government, actually pushed a restraining order on me when I confronted him in a text message about the finances being seized for ANSWER staff. How ironic that a man who hates everything America stands for, uses the same “racist” judicial system in an attempt to silence the truth. “If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud” echoed in my head the entire time.

    Prysner filed a restraining order stating I had committed “murder” in Iraq. That I had executed unarmed Iraqis (see attached memo, This never happened), that I had stalked him, (apparently egomania is a thing amongst failing Marxists) that I was a threat to his safety, and that he was “afraid for his life” which he stated in court right before the judge literally threw him out of court.

    Prysner continued to go on in the restraining order stating outlandish lies and engaging in character assassination. Joining Prysner in his endeavor was Ryan Endicott who compared himself to Che Guevera and Mike always compared himself to Fidel Castro. You could even pay $5.00 to get a picture with Prysner and a cardboard cut out of Fidel at ANSWER/PSL fundraisers where Prysner would simply become so intoxicated it ended with him always driving drunk home. What a thoughtful human.

    So I hired a lawyer, returned to court and the most hilarious part about the entire ordeal was that Prysner showed up with about 10 other ANSWER goons all with prepared statements against me. It is impossible to stress the hilarity in a “Revolutionary Communist” organization that holds demonstrations promoting the killing of police and violently overthrowing America “cowering” in fear and using the state they hate as a shield. A shield against a threat they made up in an attempt to silence the truth.

    Prysner showed up about 30 minutes late looking like he had crawled out of a drunken stupor, stumbled when the judge had us “all rise.” The judge even stated to his “lawyer” ( Another ANSWER lackey) “Is your client going to stand up?” My lawyer had to nudge me to stop me from laughing at how pathetic he looked.

    Long story short the case was thrown out in minutes. Prysner left along with the rest of the “revolutionary vanguard” in defeat. Prysner loves talking about his personal life and activism on social media yet he never mentioned running to the court, using PTSD against a soldier who was medically discharged for it, (even though he will beg for donations to “help” soldiers with it) and posting flat out lies about his military service on social media. Last time he posted that he was an interrogator on his Twitter begging for more attention.

    This may come as a shock to so many people who believe Prysner to be a sincere and honest person “speaking truth” about war…but the truth is he is a liar. He never saw combat and the speech so many people contribute to him wasn’t written by him. It was written by Brian Becker the head of both ANSWER and Party for Socialism and Liberation. There is also an hilarious recording where Brian Becker says “We should behave like Stalin did prior to the Bolshevik revolution and rob trains” at internal PSL/ANSWER meetings.

    From their outspoken support to terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah and North Korea to their fraudulent donations and campaigns they set up, I have no idea how ANSWER has not yet been investigated by the United States Federal Government.

    I appealed through the courts in an attempt to sue Prysner for the false claims he had made in the court documents. I filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court in which Prysner dodged every attempt to be served. The producers of a TV show called “ Hot Bench” even asked if I would be willing to take this case to national TV (which I gladly accepted). However, Prysner, like the coward he is, declined to accept.

    There’s something ironic in the fact that Mike Prysner who likes to invade everyone’s life, throw peoples cell phones, make false claims to the court, scream about revolution, post officers, NCOs and generals private phone numbers online and in massive spam ANSWER emails in attempts to have thousands of ANSWER email subscribers harass those serving in the military. However he can’t even show up to court and resolve an issue he started. Welcome to the world’s most cowardly activists; Mike Prysner.

    Baker recently endured the scorn of our old friends at the IVAW when he began speaking out against ISIS and their murderous rampage across the Lavant. Apparently, because he’s a straight, white male, he’s not allowed to have a valid opinion about murder, torture and rape.

    Here’s some of the ridiculous charges that Prysner brought against Baker in the restraining order;

    Here’s a paragraph from the restraining order that Prysner filed against Baker charging that he committed murder in Iraq;

    Here’s Prysner’s New Year resolution in 2011 to be a better communist;

    prysner-ivaw

    Prysner tried to stage a coup in the IVAW a few years back because they weren’t radical enough for his tastes – and his recruiting efforts at ANSWER were dreary. He has inserted himself into the Ferguson debate, including publishing a petition signed by several dozens of veterans, demanding that the National Guard stay out of Ferguson (March Forward link), so the derelicts and thugs could take over the town. Most of the folks whose signatures appear on the petition had no idea what they were putting their name to.

    Prysner likes to claim that he’s ashamed of his service in the Army and in Iraq, but it’s hard to find a photo of him without a part of his uniform. He’s the perfect mannequin for ANSWER – willing to say or do anything to get his dope money all while wearing the uniform remnants that must be thread-bare by now.

  • American Sniper discussion

    American Sniper discussion

    So, since Michael Moore made it acceptable to criticize the troops, everyone with a keyboard has taken to the internet to voice their vacuous opinions that “war is bad”, you know, as if we didn’t know that already. Actually, American Sniper made the American public face the war that was fought in their stead, and they don’t like being confronted with the images that they ignored with their little yellow ribbons stuck magnetically to their automobiles.

    The most ridiculous complaint comes from the Muslim community;

    The [American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)] notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local police about the threats and asked the two Hollywood stars to condemn the violent rhetoric used by filmgoers.

    “Your visibility, influence, and connection to the film would be a tremendous force in drawing attention to and lessening the serious dangers facing the respective communities,” the letters signed by ADC president Samer Khalaf said.

    Perhaps they’d be happier if Mister Eastwood had made the villains in the movie about the Iraq War to be Neo-Nazis, you know, like Hollywood did with Tom Clancy’s “The Sum of All Fears”. I doubt that most Americans would take time out of their lives to verbally attack American Muslims for the portrayal of al Qaeda enemies in a movie. So, I don’t believe their complaint in the first place.

    Bill Maher, that moron who keeps me from subscribing to HBO, decided that he bring attention to himself by calling Chris Kyle a ‘Psychopathic Patriot’ because Kyle took out the trash. The folks Kyle killed would have killed American troops just as fast as they would have killed Maher or any other American they could find, either in Iraq or here in the United States.

    Howard “The Scream” Dean decided to inject himself into the debate by claiming that ‘American Sniper’ Fans Are ‘Angry’ Tea Party Supporters. I guess we know which demons haunt Howard Dean’s dreams.

    I could quote a new Leftist everyday with some specious complaint about a movie that most of them haven’t seen, but the fact remains that the movie has grossed over $200 million in a little more than week since it’s release. If there’s a political warning in those kinds of numbers, it’s one that the left needs to pay attention.

  • The anti-war whispers

    The anti-war whispers

    Medea Benjamin

    I know something about the anti-war protests of the last Iraq War, often times finding myself in the center armed with nothing but my camera. And, yeah, now that Obama has begun it’s second term safely, some of the anti-war creatures from the last decade’s protests are raising their slimy heads, a little. John Kerry spoke to them recently;

    If I were John Kerry, I wouldn’t mention his own history as an anti-war socket puppet. That’s what defeated him in the 2004 presidential election. I do, however, find it delicious irony that he has to school Code Pink on ISIS to get his point across and that they interrupt him during his windbag lecture pointing out their hypocrisy on the entire issue because they support ISIS.

    Howard Kurtz discusses the cautious whispers in the media against this, the latest deployment of troops to Iraq.

    These days, of course, the press seems to be prodding a reluctant president into war. The coverage of ISIS and the endless re-running of images from the beheading videos caused a surge in public support for airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. But not everyone in the fourth estate is saluting.

    Chris Matthews may be the most visible of the naysayers. He used his MSNBC show to deride “this wild, angry push for war, another one in the land of Islam.”

    There was more: “Here we go again, going in with all the field marshals of the op-ed pages urging us on. All the tongues, wagging, demanding, that the United States get itself right back in the middle of the latest outrage from Mesopotamia…

    “And yes, the bombs will work. People will die. There will be pictures in the world press of mothers holding babies and the wounded in their hospital beds, and there will be an outcry against us.”

    Yes, I don’t like this latest deployment, but not because I’m wringing my hands over the brutality of it all, but because, no matter how many US troops will find themselves in Iraq for this third war, they won’t be allowed to fight the war that needs to be fought – for the third time.

    But, here come the kneejerk anti-war crowd who only oppose war because it’s war and they’re on the heels of the knee-jerk Democrats who think that war can be managed and made palatable to the American public, despite the fact that they’re preparing us for five years or mare of war in Iraq, once again.

  • NBC: Global jihadis or al Qaeda wannabes

    Pinto Nag sends us a link to NBC News which writes about “Global jihadis or al Qaeda wannabes: Who are the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant?” The most newsworthy part of the article is that NBC recognizes the fact that al Qaeda was in Iraq before the evil George W. Bush invaded the country;

    After he was released from prison in his homeland, Zarqawi commanded fighters in Afghanistan, where he met Osama bin Laden, the founder of al Qaeda and mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

    He reportedly moved to Iraq in 2001, and in anticipation of the U.S. invasion in 2003, built a network of contacts, recruited fighters and became the default “emir” of Islamist terrorists in Iraq, a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies said. His group then targeted international forces, government infrastructure and personnel, aid workers and reconstruction efforts.

    See, I’ve been preached to that there was no al Qaeda in Iraq until we provided them with US soldiers as targets in 2003, I guess, now that that particular meme is part of the popular culture, they go back to admitting the truth that most of us knew anyway.

  • Kimberly Rivera update

    We’ve discussed Kimberly Rivera before. She joined the Army during the Iraq war because her husband and she weren’t making it while they were both working at Walmart, where they met, and living in her parent’s basement, so he decided that she join the Army, because he was too obese to make the entrance requirements. So she joined and *surprise!* she got deployed. When she came home on mid-tour leave, they packed up their kids, left behind the leather sofa they’d bought with her bonus check and moved to Canada. She started popping out babies to solidify her claim to remain in Canada as a refugee from US justice, but the Canadians got tired of supporting her growing family and deported the family and she was promptly sent to jail.

    Now, she’s given birth to her fifth child, and her supporters, the stank-ass hippies, are protesting because she’s separated from her newborn child, according to the Colorado Springs Gazaette;

    Kimberly Rivera’s newborn son, Matthew, is not receiving breast milk because Rivera is not allowed to keep him with her at Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar in San Diego, where she’s being held, according to her civilian lawyer, James Branum.

    Rivera is being allowed to express milk via a hand pump for medical reasons but is not allowed to save and refrigerate the milk for her son, Branum said Sunday via phone.

    Rivera, with Fort Carson’s 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, pleaded guilty to two counts of desertion at an April 29 court-martial at the post. Then pregnant with her fifth child, she was sentenced to 10 months of confinement and a bad conduct discharge.

    Yeah, it should be no surprise to anyone that she’s in jail and her lawyer is James Branum – all of his clients end up in jail. Branum has his own category of posts at TAH because he’s been so successful at destroying soldiers’ lives with his poor legal advice. So basically, they all deserve him. Rivera popped out babies to stay in Canada, and now she’s popping them out to get out of serving her jail sentence. They should put her under the jail.

    It’s bad enough that we’re going to get to support her five kids for their entire lives, but, women’s right people need to sit and down with her and get it through her thick skull that she’s not doing them any favors.

    Thanks to John for pointing to this article for us.

  • VFP arrested at NYC War Memorial

    Twist Fringe sends us some links to photos of the Veterans For Peace (known here as “Geezers For Sitting on Our Hands”) protesting against the Afghanistan War on it’s 12th Anniversary last night in New York City. I guess they’re a little upset at their hippie friends for not showing up;

    Vets protest Afghaistan war on 12th anniversary

    VFP protest

    Vets arrested at Memorial

    That looks like Ward Reilly, the phony Ranger, in the paddy wagon, doesn’t it?

    Apparently their protest lasted past the closing hours of the memorial, so they got rounded up and put in the paddy wagon.

    ADDED: For the old timers here who were here when we busted up IVAW and VFP; Bill Perry and Ward Reilly in cuffs;

  • The Irony of John Kerry.

    Since the President canceled his trip to Aisa, he has send John Kerry in his place to assure that the United States will not support for Asia against pressure from China.

    Acknowledging that Obama is missing opportunities for direct diplomacy with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and others attending a series of international trade and cooperation meetings, Kerry was at pains to tell Asian leaders that they should not read too much into the absence.

    You mean like sending VVFP/VFP’s Poster child one why we needed to leave Vietnam and never come back? Does anyone really think that the leaders believe this promise considering how was handled Vietnam and how we are handling Afghanistan?

  • Code Pink complains about their fellow travelers

    The Washington Times reports that Code Pink has a morale problem – and its the Democrats. Earlier today, we read about Senator Al Franken who said that there were no good options in Syria, so he’ll vote to send the military in harm’s way since that’s the most politically expedient answer and he has no skin in the game in the way of his blood being endangered. The other day, DC’s Democrat non-voting (thankfully) delegate to Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton told the media that she’d vote for Obama’s plan out of loyalty to the party and Obama.

    In the Washington Times article, Medea Benjamin complains about her fair weather friends in the Democrat Party;

    A day earlier, Ms. Benjamin was arrested for protesting in the middle of the Senate’s hearing on Syria, yelling “We don’t want another war” as she was escorted out.

    She said she expected better of President Obama and that it “feels terrible” to have to protest against a member of the Democratic Party.

    “It feels surreal,” she said. “It seems like this country is so topsy-turvy when you have Code Pink and Rand Paul on the same side of foreign policy issues.”

    Another group member waiting for the hearing said the conflict goes beyond party lines and the Democrats are now “just as bad” as Republicans.

    “When I first moved to this country in 2008, I was very excited to see Barack Obama,” said Noor Mir, who is originally from Pakistan. “But it seems as though he is backed up by so many warmongers that he’s just become one of them.”

    Buzzfeed lists 14 Hollywood anti-war crackpots who they suspect have been kidnapped because they haven’t spoke out on the impending Syria military action.

    The Hollywood Reporter interviewed two stanch anti-war zealots in Hollywood, Ed Asner and Mike Farrel about the sad state of the anti-war people in Hollywood who were so eager to protest against war in the Middle East ten years ago, but are oddly silent now. The emphasis is mine.

    “It’s incredibly improper for the president to call for a strike. I have said it everywhere I can and I suspect a lot of others will do the same, but whether there will be an organized effort, I don’t know,” Farrell continued. “We’re talking about the difference between an invasion in Iraq and a limited action in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria.”

    Asner said the lack of an organized effort against war in Syria is a matter of timing. Bush took months to make the case for war in Iraq, giving the antiwar left plenty of time to prepare a response.

    […]

    Another reason some Hollywood progressives have been reticent to speak out against war in Syria, according to Asner, is fear of being called racist.

    “A lot of people don’t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama,” he said.

    So, basically, they called us racist for so long, they believe if they oppose Obama, people will think they’re racist, too. Of course, they are racist because they’re willing to let Syrians die in a US airstrike just so they don’t upset the racial applecart. But unfortunately, it doesn’t bother them on the same level when they mistreat Conservative blacks.
