  • Bradley Minning is just like Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Dingus Kevin Zeese writes at the Huffington Post that Bradley Manning, the incarcerated traitor who unloaded his computer of classified informationonto the world, walks in the footprints of Martin Luther King, Jr. the civil rights leader who brought a dawn from our segregationist past. First Matthis and now Manning. Why are white people so quick to point how MLK they can be?

    Bradley Manning, a young man from Oklahoma, believed as many Americans do, that the U.S. is a force for good in the world. It was not until he was in Iraq and when he saw documents and videos crossing his computer screen that he realized America does not play the role he had been told.

    Bradley Manning had a fight with his boyfriend and somehow figured this would teach him. There’s nothing noble about what he did…he cost people their lives because he had a hissy fit. This is the height of idiocy. It doesn’t serve to elevate the image of Bradley Manning and drags MLK’s image through the mud. WTF is it with white liberals these days?

  • Our newest fan

    One of our ninjas sent us this screen shot of some smelly hippies who Google their names and land on my weekend post;

    I don’t mind being called a douche, but at least they could characterize the conversation correctly. Honestly, I don’t see anyone calling for the murder of Egyptian protesters. But I doubt the literacy of any chick who tried to get laid by anyone in the IVAW and failed. Every. Single. Time.

    I guess I don’t need to mention that she’s a member of the ISO. And, oh, I’m a xenophobe.

  • “Loose Change” producer arrested for drugs

    Old Trooper and 1stCavRVN11B sent us links to articles (Fox News and Free Republic)about Army veteran Korey Rowe, one of the producers for the “Loose Change” 9-11 conspiracy film who was arrested for selling drugs to an undercover cop in his hometown, Oneonta, NY;

    Oneonta police tell the Daily Star of Oneonta that 27-year-old Korey Rowe and a 19-year-old Bronx man were arrested after selling packets of heroin to an undercover officer.

    Rowe was arraigned last Friday on a felony count of criminal sale of a controlled substance.

    Authorities say the Oneonta resident was released from Otsego County Jail after posting $10,000 cash bail.

    According to Wikipedia, Rowe went AWOL from his unit, 187 infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell. Wasn’t that Brandon Friedman’s (VoteVet’s Beeker) unit, too?

    On July 23, 2007, he was arrested at his home in Oneonta, New York, based on a military warrant charging him with felony desertion. Two days later he was returned to his unit at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, although he states that he received an honorable discharge and returned to uniform of his own accord, and that he is attempting to expunge his name completely from the system.

    Rowe was at the end of his active-duty enlistment in the summer of 2005 when he was told his unit would be re-deployed to Iraq. Because of stop-loss policy, soldiers may be kept beyond their normal tour of duty. Rowe’s unit, the 187th Infantry Regiment, was due to return to Iraq in August 2007, but was eventually granted release.

    I guess he didn’t get to join Iraq Veterans Against the War because he’d actually deployed a few times and set foot in Iraq.

  • I hate hippies

    Someone sent me this video of the Bradley Manning rally at Quantico last weekend;

    All of our favorite hippies are there.

    Of course, the “activists” blame the military police for the manufactured outrageous treatment of Bradley Manning for the rug burns from his scratchy blankets. The blankets they bring for poor Brad look strangely like the blankets I see wrapped around homeless people in DC.

    It must be nice to be able to push and shove MPs around and not get gun down or beaten with a night stick. Brave activists.

    For some reason I see the Guantanamo mock prisoners in the crowd, too. I wonder what the point is. If I were Brad Manning, I’d welcome imprisonment in Gitmo, what with the good chow and balmy weather. Beats Northern Virginia in the winter.

    The Code Pink hags had to retool this weekend, though, and headed out to Egypt. This from Medea Benjamin;

    Dear Jonn,

    After several cancelled flights, I am finally on my way to Egypt to join my CODEPINK colleagues who are already there. We were supposed to be leading a delegation to Gaza right now, traveling through the Sinai to get to Gaza’s southern border. The Rafa crossing into Gaza has been closed, our delegation is unable to leave Cairo, and we have been caught up in the breath-taking people’s movement that is sweeping Egypt. CODEPINK’s Tighe Barry has been out on the streets of Cairo all week long. You can hear a compelling report from him here.

    Nothing would make me happier than if the Code Pink hags would get stuck in Egypt and Gaza. Activist tourists. Fly in, get everyone all riled up and then back to Starbucks for scones.

  • At the intersection of Stupid Street and Lunatic Lane

    TSO sent me a link to a Veterans Today article supporting Iraq Veterans Against the War’s stand that “President Showed He Is out of Touch with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans“. How is he “out of touch”? Well because;

    …the [SOTU] speech showed the president is out of touch with the rough reality facing veterans, and failed to produce a plan to address their needs. Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) represents the voices of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with bold solutions to cut the human and financial costs of war by meeting veterans’ needs that the president ignored.

    President Obama grossly understated the heavy toll that the Afghanistan and Iraq wars are baring on troops and the economy.

    And the troops needs?

    “The president said withdrawal from Afghanistan will start in July, but when will it end? Let’s bring all the troops home immediately and invest in the care they have earned,” said Zach Choate.

    Yup, that’s why we have an armed force, so we can withdraw in the middle of a war…like we’re Spain or something. We need an armed force that is sitting around hospital waiting rooms holding their heads in their palms.

    Of course, that seems perfectly normal for an organization that made of mostly deserters and quitters…led by head quitter Jose Vasquez who served for 14 years and then quit at the very moment he was supposed to deploy. A medic who couldn’t serve in a traditionally conscientious objector job.

    Oh, but IVAW and Veterans Today aren’t the only ones to be disappointed that we don’t just push our helicopters into the Persian Gulf for the cameras. VoteVets official statement on the SOTU address;

    …we still need to hear how the President plans to end counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan. When so many are looking for leadership as it relates to our nation’s fiscal problems, it has become clear than an endless commitment to the conflict is something our country can no longer afford.

    Notice it’s “end counterinsurgency operations” not “win the war in Afghanistan”. Winning the war against terrorism isn’t anyone’s goal these days. It’s about how fast we can just disengage from a war we never started so they can kick the can down the road.

    There’s a lot of talk about saddling our kids with the national debt, but I don’t hear anyone talk about saddling our kids with wars we don’t have the guts to finish. My generation saddled this generation of soldiers with the war in the Middle East because we didn’t have the guts to end the wars there. Apparently this generation lacks the fortitude if you think that IVAW, Veterans Today and VoteVets represent this generation. Or are they just a handful of pussies who can’t think past the jars of urine they store in their refrigerators?

  • F’ville mayor Chavonne invites pacifists to Vietnam veteran “Welcome Home”

    Tony Chavonne, a draft dodger and former protester against the war in Vietnam, is now mayor of Fayetteville, North Carolina, home of Fort Bragg. he stepped on his dick last year when he proposed that the city which has a large community of Vietnam Veterans adopt a sister city in Vietnam. Plans were soon scrapped in the face of an uproar among veterans.

    Chavonne initially said a sister city could help heal old scars and promote a better understanding of Vietnamese culture. He said on Wednesday that the idea had become a distraction for what he hopes will be a major series of events next year for Vietnam veterans.

    So now, Chavonne has an admirable idea – a “welcome home” for Vietnam veterans that they never got. But again, stomping on his dick, Chavonne invited the local Quaker pacifists contingent;

    But he has quickly come under fire from veterans following a meeting Wednesday on the event. Chuck Fager led a small contingent representing the Quaker House, a military counseling center supported mostly by pacifists and peace activists that was active in Fayetteville during the Vietnam War.

    Fager serves as director of the organization.

    On Friday, Chavonne emphasized that the proposals Fager presented at the meeting were neither endorsed by him nor the homecoming committee.

    Chavonne said he didn’t know Fager was going to discuss the idea of a series of films giving different viewpoints on Vietnam. Two of the proposed films, the anti-war “Coming Home” and “FTA,” feature actress Jane Fonda.

    “That is not the intent of this mayor or committee to disgrace any veteran,” Chavonne said. “It’s part of what we’re trying to deal with. To a veteran, those words are inflammatory.”

    Yes, who even knew that the mention of Jane Fonda would incite Vietnam veterans? Well, besides everyone on the fricken planet. Even talking to Quakers is liable to incite most veterans who’ve stood in counterprotests against them in the last decade. Lying, deceitful little toads that they are, James Branum, the Fort Hood lawyer who encourages desertion among soldiers for the cause is a Quaker in his home state of Oklahoma.

    Chavonne is an idiot – we hear the “other side” of the Vietnam War every-fucking-day. I commend him for giving veterans a welcome home, but Jane Fonda? Seriously? Coming Home? FFS. What part of Jane Fonda is cathartic?

    Fager said the mayor asked him to be a part of the events because he wanted the whole story about the war to be told. Quaker House was founded in 1969, organizing anti-war rallies and helping soldiers who want to get out of the military. Dissent over the Vietnam War is a big part of the conflict’s history, he said.

    “And that’s just the truth. If people don’t like it, OK. But it’s still the truth,” Fager said,

    No common sense whatsoever.

    Thanks to 1stCavRVN11B for the link to Big Peace.

  • Duff; the lunacy continues

    It’s a slow news day, so I thought I’d see what’s on the mind of Gordon Duff today. Well, more accurately, what’s out of his mind. The Duffster never disappoints. Today he pushing the theory that bin Laden, a Mossad agent of course, is dead and has cashed his last CIA check;

    Consider this. If bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 why is it that the only terrorists arrested on 9/11 worked for Israel? Five Israelis, dubbed the “dancing Israeli’s for their celebration of joy, later admitted on live television that they were sent to “document the attack.” Of course, the more likely scenario is that this Mossad camera crew was there to guide the planes to their targets, given that they were strategically set up well in advance of the attack, cameras perfectly aligned for either filming the most dramatic footage since Zapruder…

    Or were they “painting” the World Trade Center towers with target lasers? Was it something else? 10 weeks of interrogation and they were shuttled back to Israel while Americans hunted for that other bin Laden, by that time dying, his last CIA paycheck uncashed.

    Consider this; the 19 hijackers were all blown up along with the passengers and crews of the aircraft. It’s had to arrest widely dispersed DNA samples, isn’t it?

    A commenter adds background on those mischievous “dancing Israelis”;

    It seems these Israeli explosive experts were going to blow up the George Washington Bridge on 911. Did their van, which was filled with explosives, contain enough explosives to severely damage the bridge? Or was the van serving as a prop to be used to blame the Muslims when the real damage would be done by a coat of micro-thermite put on the bridge cables by Mossad agents during it pre-911 renovation?

    According to CNN the van was packed with explosives. As for as I know, the Jewish Zionist controlled CNN didn’t present another article which states the men arrested were Israelis.

    CNN must be Mossad agents, as well.

    And, Julian Assange, also a Mossad agent, of course, in the World of Duff is trying to cover his Mossad ass;

    Assange, now fighting exposure by feinting at attacking Israel, is trying to appear less the Mossad operative by “releasing” stories through selected newspapers and claiming they are secret documents.

    General Petraeus will be relieved to know that Duff estimates that Petraeus is only facing about 20 al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan.

  • Shocking news, I know; hippies have sex

    TSO (of course) sends this link to a SkyNews article about undercover police officers in Europe using sex to get information from hippies there;

    The officer, who worked in a special unit of the Met Police for four years, said sexual relationships with activists were common among those gathering intelligence from anarchist, left-wing and environmental groups.

    “Everybody knew it was a very promiscuous lifestyle,” he is quoted as saying.

    Well, they’re not very intellectual, so you can probably expect them to be rooting around in each others’ drawers just to keep themselves busy. But like I said in Desert Storm after weeks without a shower, “I’m not sure I’d want sex with someone who wanted to have sex with me.”

    Rumors were that IVAW functioned the same way for several years. I heard there was lots of cross-pollination going on between the various species for some reason. Well, between that and storing their urine in the fridge.
