UPDATE: I just got confirmation from Jose Vasquez, the executive director of IVAW, that Matthis has finally resigned from IVAW. Jose seemed to be quite distraught. I think there were tear stains on the email.
Since I’ve had some requests for the rest of the FaceBook conversation, and I see Chris Capps is still camped out on the blog, here’s the remainder;
One of my moles sent me a screen shot of a conversation at Matthis’ Facebook and it’s actually pretty funny. It seems that they all think Army Sergeant is an old friend of TSO and me who we convinced to join the IVAW to spy for us. Their evidence? She was at the wedding last weekend;
Matthis tries to incite the rabble into believing that all of the records we’ve got came from Army Sergeant because of her unique access to IVAW files. How does he explain the fact that records mostly came on FOIA request forms? Well, he can’t. Because he’s got a case of the ass at IVAW, he’s trying to undermine the organization. That’s fine with me. Undermine away you meth-addled, phony soldier, paranoid freak. Give me a vacation.
But honestly, Selena hasn’t ever given us any information. She got us into the Winter Soldier thing and that was it. We had a generally cordial relationship which has flared up at times. She’s posted, what, twice on TAH. So have other former members of IVAW – because we’re a big tent.
They excoriate Army Sergeant for commenting here. Carl Webb has commented here, too – he’s in that conversation with Matthis. He’s made more comments than most of you. What does that prove? Sara Beining commented here – she’s in that conversation.
But what’s really ironic is that, if Army Sergeant is such a big super spy for TAH, why did I get screenshots of the conversation from someone else? She’s not “friends” with Matthis, so I had to send the screen shots to her. IVAW is shot through and through with spies for TAH. All kinds of people send me dirt on these guys – most of it I don’t even use, because it’s kind of creepy, frankly.
Actually, the biggest favor Army Sergeant did for TAH was demonstrate that we treat people decently even though we disagree with them. Even Jose Valasquez, the executive director answers my emails. Those VoteVets clowns don’t though.
But the whole conversation is a good demonstration of how conditioned Matthis’ sheep are to his faux dismay at the betrayal because Army Sergeant didn’t go to the IVAW Man-haters Club meeting. If Matthis hands you a glass of Kool Aid, you’d better not drink it, guys.
I’ve got thirteen more screen shots, I may post them later if I feel like it.
Added: My mole wrote to tell me hs’s not a mole…he’s a ninja. Now Matthis has reason to be scared if TAH has a squad of ninjas.
Greetings from an undisclosed location in Indianapolis.
Someone sent me this link while I was on the road and I had to share it while I’m trying to find the liquor. It’s a link to a “Free Nasser” websiteto benefit Nasser Abdo, the guy TSO mentioned last night.
The person who sent me the link said something about “Abdo is not even in jail”. I responded that since James Branum is his lawyer, it’s only a matter of time. I’ll remind any potential donors that this website was probably created by Branum himself to line his pockets and more than likely he’ll end up getting Abdo the maximum sentence at any trial – the same thing Abdo could get with the worst possible military counsel for free.
But, as far as I know, Abdo isn’t facing any trial – a CO application is an administrative action in front of a panel. Maybe that’s why Branum weaseled his way intothiscase – it’s very unlikely that anyone can end up in jail – a first for Branum.
I just got a message from the IVAW that they’ve had three members of the Board resign this week;
Unfortunately, three directors resigned from the board at separate times and for separate reasons on this day. Those board members are as follows: Matthis Chiroux, Geoff Millard, and Cameron White. None of the Board members that resigned have resigned from IVAW at this point and we look forward to their continued contributions to the organization and the movement.
For those of you who may not know, Cameron White was in the Marines for four years and had two tours of Iraq. TSO supported him in the Board elections last year.
An anonymous reader sent this message;
Matthis didn’t exactly resign of his own accord. It happened after being strongly encouraged to step down by the rest of the board.
Also, after Millard lost his chair seat, he threw a fit, made empty threats to cut his financial ties to the organization(of which he has none) and then quit the board in a huff.
You can probably verify these facts through the national office. I hope you can get the word out, because although you may not respect IVAW, it should be noted that malingerers, frauds, and megalomaniacs are finally being weeded out.
So the Board looks like this now:
Chair Person; Garett Reppenhagen
Co-Chair; Joyce Wagner
Treasurer; Jeremy Berggren
Secretary; Sara Beining
Assistant Treasurer; T.J. Buonomo
Assistant Secretary; Adrienne Kinne
Garret Reppenhagen is a moderate member, Joyce Wagner came out against Matthis’ flag burning episode, Jeremy Berggren is the guy who claims to suffer from PTSD because he didn’t deploy. TJ is the guy who claims 5 years uf military service, four of which were in the Air Force Academy. Adrienne Kinne and Sara Beining are both Far Left socialist nutballs and Matthis supporters.
A week or so ago, I wrote about SGT Alejandro Villatoro who was publicly complaining about the fact that he hasn’t trained his troops properly for combat. There’s an article in the Chicago Tribune today that continues his bathering;
Alejandro Villatoro, 28, is one of about 160 soldiers from across the Midwest in the 656th Transportation Company, based in Hobart, Ind. He said he didn’t want his unit to be unprepared like his was in 2003.
In Kuwait, Villatoro said, his unit conducted missions with trucks used in the Korean War and trained using Vietnam tactics, like digging foxholes. When his unit invaded Iraq, some soldiers did so with scant bullets.
Korean War trucks, I’m sure. maybe the design was from the Korean War, but the trucks themselves? Hardly. Everyone needs to know how to dig a foxhole, I don’t care what conflict you’re in. I dug foxholes in Desert Storm in the Forward Operations Base before we launched the Ground War. It only makes sense that soldiers are prepared for any contingency.
The article goes on to say that Villatoros has complained to Dick Durbin, his senator., and Luis Gutierez his Congressman. I hope he didn’t look too foolish when they discovered that his unit is slated for five more weeks of training before they deploy.
I understand his concern for his troops, if it’s real, but it appears to me that it’s more of an opportunity for him to protest the war and maybe preclude himself from the deployment. The more he runs his mouth, the more the latter looks to be the case.
Tman wrote to tell us that Wikileaks terror chief, Julie Ass Mange, has been indicted again on the charges introduced a few weeks ago;
The case was dismissed last week by Eva Finne, chief prosecutor in Stockholm, who overruled a lower-ranked prosecutor and said there was no reason to suspect that Assange, an Australian citizen, had raped a Swedish woman who had reported him to police.
The woman’s lawyer appealed the decision. Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny decided to reopen the case Wednesday, saying new information had come in on Tuesday.
“We went through all the case material again, including what came in, and that’s when I made my decision,” to reopen the case, Ny told The Associated Press by phone.
As readers have pointed out previously, rape is a broad charge in Sweden. I think Assmange’s paranoia is hilarious, though. And since his last released was pronounced pedestrian by the MFM, I guess this might be his way of reestablishing his prominence in the news with the help of some Swedish lawyers.
I just confirmed with Jose Vasquez, the Executive Director of IVAW, that the rumor we’d heard for a few days is actually true. John Lennon left the Beatles, Donald Rumsfeld left the Pentagon and now Matthis Chiroux left the IVAW Board. He’s still a member, but we can expect that to end soon, too.
There are other rumors floating around about him, too, but if we can confirm them, we don’t publish them. I’ve got a laundry list of rumors about Matthis, some of them a bit tabloidish, we’ll watch to see if they shake out.
I guess pretty soon he’ll be getting a Hu Man Chinese Restaurant tattoo, as well as he and Whittenberg go off tattooed arm-in-arm into the Texas sunset to get beat by the police and gnawed by dogs.
As we reported a week or so ago, Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen, TX is about to go out of business because of a lack of funds and a functional business plan. So Ann Wright and Code Pink want you to give your money to the experiment in mental masturbation;
The former Army colonel and current model for fright masks doesn’t care much for Obama or Glen Beck, either;
Don’t be hoodwinked by Obama’s claim that the Iraq war is ending. We still have 50,000 troops there, tens of thousands of contractors and the biggest Embassy in the world. While we watch President Obama try to put a positive spin on a disastrous war we should have never started, let us redouble our efforts to bring ALL our troops home–from Iraq and Afghanistan. Join us in Washington DC on October 2 as we gather with civil rights activists, union members, women’s groups, youth and the peace community to call for jobs and bringing our war dollars home. Learn more about One Nation Working Together and sign up here to join me, Alice Walker, Medea Benjamin, and activists from around the country. If Glenn Beck could bring out hundreds of thousands of people with his message of glorifying war, surely we can bring out even more people with our message of glorifying the power of peace building in helping us restore our economy and our democratic ideals.
Whether Obama’s claim that the war is over is true or not, his announcement is sure to dry up donations to the peace pimps of IVAW and Code Pink. Imbeciles like Matthis Chiroux will be forced to get a job.
Speaking of Matthis, someone sends along a couple of interviews he did in regards to the three-second protest they conducted last week at Fort Hood under the name “The Derelicts” or some thing like that. He has certainly pumped up his sense of self-worth over the last few days.
