Nucsnipe writes to tell us that General Petraeus is scheduled to speak tonight at the World Affairs Council in Seattle. Of course, the moonbats of World Can’t Wait spot an opportunity to do some fund raising;
Founded in June 2005 by Charles Clark Kissinger, a longtime leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, World Can’t Wait (WCW) is a direct action movement seeking to organize “people living in the United States to take responsibility to stop the whole disastrous course led by the Bush administration.” The organization asserts that removing President Bush from office “will be like removing a forty-pound tumor from your gut.” WCW vows “to send Bush, Cheney and the rest of those fascists packing. … After that, there are people in ‘World Can’t Wait’ who are working for everything from reforming the Democratic party, to building a 3rd party, to revolution.”
This is the first protest that I know that’s been directed at General Petraeus since the Inauguration. If there’s anyone in the area that can get to the site on such short notice, I’d sure appreciate some pictures.
I guess now that IVAW member Matthis Chiroux is home in Alabama, the folks down there don’t much like him. My inbox was chocked full of Chiroux-related material this morning. I wish they’d been this upset with him before he’d come home. A local TV station in Huntsville interviewed Dr. Chiroux;
Chiroux says his son continues making the rounds spewing anti-war messages while collecting money.
The father says he supports his son’s freedom of speech, but not when it’s just to make a profit.
“It comes a point in which you have to do the greater good. The greater good is to provide warning,” added Chiroux.
The former sergeant’s dad told WHNT NEWS 19 his son just spoke at a church in Auburn last weekend. He’s not sure if money was collected, but offers advice to potential donors.
“If anyone is encountering Matthis and feeling inclined to providing him with financial assistance, think carefully about what you’re doing, and what you’re providing financial assistance for,” added Chiroux.
Chiroux says his son’s actions are hurting the family.
The father has gone so far as to ask his attorney to demand his son stop causing harm to the family name.
I noticed that last night, someone purporting to be Chiroux’s fiance dropped by to scold us for pointing out the inaccuracies in Chiroux’s fairy tales. I guess she needs up to stop attacking him so he can make some money and stop draining her savings account. She makes the same old “parents should support their children” BS that she probably used when she announced her engagement to the useless grifter to her own parents.
Lemme tell you something, Alex, what Chiroux is doing to the soldiers with whom he served is far worse than anything I’ve done on this blog. In his latest ignorant speech in Alabama, he called the troops racists, rapists and murderers – and you approve of it. Maybe 35 years ago he could have gotten away with such slanderous speech, but this is the age of the internet, dear. The age of real freedom of speech. When Matthis Mole sticks his head up, This Ain’t Hell will be there to Whack him back down.
And parents are supposed to love their kids, but they don’t have to tolerate their crap. As a parent of four kids about the same age as Matthis, I’m kind of an expert on the subject. When you’re a parent, then you can come and criticize the way we raise our kids. Dear.
There’s going to come a day in the near future when you’ll wish I wasn’t speaking figuratively.
And you’re right, this has nothing to do with politics – it has to do with your betrothed being a lying sack of shit. If these posts weren’t affecting him, you wouldn’t be here defending him, nor would he be stopping by to make a rare appearance.
Tell Chiroux to get a real job and quit smearing the folks with whom he served, and I’ll stop writing about him. I hear air conditioning and refrigerator repair is big business in Alabama.
The above picture is a screen cap of a video that was made over a year ago by the folks at the IVAW DC Treehouse. It shows Matthis Chiroux who babbles for nearly 10 minutes as his father, Richard Chiroux, stands beside him on Fathers’ Day 2008. I won’t link it but you can search on YouTube with Chiroux+father.
Since then, Chiroux has blamed his father for forcing him to join the military. Chiroux also accused his father of abusing him when he was young. Apparently, Chiroux, the Elder doesn’t stand beside his son. This is a comment he left (I can’t verify it’s authenticity, but he seems to know intimate details of Chiroux’s pre-Army life) at the article that I linked yesterday;
I’d heard rumors that Dr. Chiroux had volunteered to join the Army to serve in the spot his son abandoned. I guess it’s true.;
I offered some time ago to re-enlist in the the US ARMY specifically to serve in Iraq, both due to my son’s actions and my own Middle Eastern experience. That offer stands. I will serve at the front if my country asks it of me.
I learned a long time ago that you can only teach your kids right from wrong and when they reach a certain age, you have to let them make their own mistakes and suffer the consequences. Every time they fall it’s painful for parents to watch them struggle back to their feet. It never gets easier. Good luck, Dr. Chiroux.
Back to the reasons Matthis refused to deploy. Here’s a picture of him towards the end of his active duty time. Does this look like someone who hates the military?
Before you ladies start wetting yourself over the fierce combatant Matthis Chiroux, I blew the photo up and discovered that he’s firing blanks through the M240 machine gun. Notice how he cropped off the blank adapter on the muzzle. The picture is just a set up – like those John Kerry in Vietnam pictures.
Here’s the blown up photo;
A real infantryman can spot blank ammunition.
Oh, by the way, I snagged that photo from his Facebook profile so it’s not like it’s part of his life that he’s ashamed of like he lets on. It’s justmore proof that he loved the Army life, but he didn’t like actually being uncomfortable after his grueling tours of Germany and Japan.
[Name removed by request], an IVAW refugee, wrote to me this morning about a local controversy in Long Island over Republican Congressman Pete King’s YouTube video in which King laments the excessive coverage of Michael Jackson’s inevitable demise. Here’s the video;
King (and [name removed by request]) says that our focus should be on the troops and their expanding and changing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan – that our media should be geared towards the folks who keep us comfortable rather than on “some pervert”.
Well, [Name removed by request] writes that Code Pink is mobilizing their drones on Facebook to spam a poll on Newsday that asks asks if King should apologize.

I’m losing my f*****g mind knowing that we’ve got a Soldier in Afghanistan who’s been captured and sold to the Taliban and meanwhile America doesn’t give two sh**s because they’re more concerned with Michael Jackson… So for me to see this in my facebook news feed today, I’m thinking the hippies need another reality check….
Now I’ve had my issues with King in the past, but f**k it, he had a lot more experience with the a$$holes I was surrounding myself with- so when he knew I was associated with IVAW and refused to talk to me, I forgive him for that. Being a professional politician, he knew better than I did.
Now the peace groups are massing to try to sway an online vote on Newsday’s website to condemn King for his words. I say f**k that, I support King in the idea of HONOR OUR F*****G TROOPS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY and not MJ.
To me, Code Pink is just grasping at straws here. They’ve gone goofy if they think Americans are going to take the side of Michael Jackson ahead of our troops, but, they’ve spammed the poll pretty well – as I’m looking at it, almost 60% are demanding an apology. So, if you’re inclined, click over at this link and let Code Pink know we can play that game, too.
While I was sitting in the waiting room at Walter Reed this morning, I was thinking the same thing while CNN was going gaa-gaa over the memorial in LA today. Then I get home, turn on Fox and see the same putrid crap – who cares what Jesse Jackson remembers about Michael Jackson – seriously.
Meanwhile, only the milblogs seem concerned about the missing soldier in Afghanistan. What’s up with that?
NYC Vet sent me the lastest report of a matthis Chiroux siting. Apparently, he had time to think about incorporating his confessions of a few months ago (when Kris Goldsmith accused him of bragging about raping a Pinay girl). He’s expanded his story to make himself out to be some kind of dauntless killing machine. From OANOW.com;
Chiroux said he refused deployment to Iraq because he believes it is an illegal occupation and that the Army fosters a culture of abuse and torture.
Now, after obtaining a general discharge, Chiroux is still speaking out against the Iraq War.
He told the congregation Sunday there’s “a Fourth Reich movement right here on our shining society on the hill.”
Since the holiday is almost over, I figure I can’t ruin it for y’all with this conversation between Reagan Sullivan and Bobby Whittenberg. We first ran into Reagan Sullivan when TSO wrote about him last year. We featured Bobby Whittenberg as a potential winner of our Worst Memorial Day post – nice to know he doesn’t like the 4th of July, either.
Here’s picture of Whittenberg;
Prepare yourselves for the moonbattery;
And oh, yeah, if you’re wondering what their mutual friend Carl Webb is up to these days – he’s trying to get his friends to send “far left revolutionary” books to the troops in theater;
We all know that Webb won’t be sending any books himself because he’s too poor and cheap and mooching off of someone else like a good little Marxist/Leninist/Trotskyist – but he’ll encourage his “friends” to send books to undermine the military.
Removing American moonbats from society that Americans won’t, the Israelis have shown good sense by locking up our looniest loon according to Fox News;
Former U.S. lawmaker and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney and several other human rights activists remained in an Israeli prison Thursday after refusing to sign a deportation form that they claim is self-incriminating.
In a press release from the Green Party, McKinney said the form states that the Spirit of Humanity, a Greek-flagged relief boat carrying 21 activists, medical supplies, cement, olive trees and children’s toys en route to Gaza, was violating the Israeli blockade and trespassing the country’s territorial waters.
“We were in international waters on a boat delivering humanitarian aid to people in Gaza when the Israeli Navy ships surrounded us and illegally threatened us, dismantled our navigation equipment, boarded and confiscated the ship,” she said in a statement, adding that they were immediately taken into custody.
“Immigration officials in Israel said they did not want to keep us, but we remain imprisoned,” she said.
Cynthia McKinney has been complaining about the Jews and Israel for years. I hope she takes advantage of this wonderful opportunity to immerse herself in the traditions and culture and build bridges between the moonbat lifestyle and the Jewish world. I’ll bet cash money that they don’t want to keep her – but we don’t either. Sorry, Israel.
John Soltz, who sheepishly admits that he didn’t fight any Chinese in Iraq, is still clinging to the old MoveOn line that the surge is a failure. He’s written it twice in as many days this week and does it again on MSNBC, where he’s apparently living in a broom closet these days. Soltz comes in at about 4:30 in to this video;
And so, if the U.S. pulls back, there’s a powder keg ready to explode, with an ill-equipped Iraqi military left to try to hold things together. In fact, we’ve already seen violence ramp up in Iraq, as surge troops have left and others began their pull back from cities.
So, Soltz’ solution is a Vietnam-style withdrawal from Iraq – as violence increases, the pace of withdrawal should increase as well.
So President Obama needs to make it clear—if they won’t settle their differences, we won’t be around to save them, because we’ll speed up our departure. Most importantly, he must make good on the promise if it comes to that.
Failure at any price. We promised the South Vietnamese that we’d defend them if the North invaded, then we stood by with our hands in our pockets and watched T55 tanks roll into Saigon. Soltz would love nothing more than to hang a picture of the last chopper leaving the Green Zone behind his desk in his MSNBC broom closet.
Although, it would seem on the surface that the surge may be proven a failure if violence increases, I submit that it’s the Democrat policy of the last five years that’s failed. President Bush warned that setting an arbitrary withdrawal date would result in increased violence – that seems more likely the cause than the surge, doesn’t it?
In fact, the reason the surge worked to bring peace to Iraq is because when the insurgents expected Democrats to force a withdrawal from Iraq in 2006/7, President Bush instead increased the US presence there, proving that he was dedicated to seeing the war through during his term.
Threatening to increase the pace of withdrawal isn’t the way to quell violence. Showing resolve is what wins in the Middle East, not showing our collective ass. But Soltz and MoveOn and the Democrats are more enamored with the idea of calling Iraq a failure than making the world a better place.
As long as Democrats are frightened of dealing with the real enemy in the region, and instead prefer to pick on pockets of democracy, we won’t have any progress in the terror war or in the advancement of liberty and freedom.
One question I’d ask Soltz; Why are you so sure the Iraqis will fail? Because they’re brown people?
