  • Boston Globe: “Thousands” of veterans support OWS

    Yeah, i don’t know how they arrive at that “thousands” number, but I’d counter that millions of veterans are NOT marching in the flaccid movement. And if you look at the veterans who are supporting the OWS theater, they’re the pepetually outraged mannequins of the Left – IVAW. Scott olsen who was injured last week in Oakland belonged to both VFP and IVAW. Matthis Chiroux who wrote in the Huffington Post yesterday about the OWS “leadership” or the lack thereof, was a creation of IVAW. In this Boston Globe article one of the veterans in the article, Jerry Bordeleau, is one of the remaining actual veterans of the war in Iraq, or so he says;

    In the video, he says he wore his complete uniform to the protest….if he still fits in his uniform, I know why he’s not in service anymore. He must’ve cleaned the PMO out of donuts every morning.

    “For 10 years, we have been fighting wars that have enriched the wealthiest 1 percent, decimated our economy and left our nation with a generation of traumatized and wounded veterans that will require care for years to come,” said Carter, who leads the national Iraq Veterans Against the War group.

    Yeah, well, where is Jose Vasquez, the Executive Director of IVAW? He lives in New York City…why isn”t he leading the contingent. Maybe it’s because he never deployed to Iraq and he has no authority to speak for Iraq veterans, even though he heads an organization which has Iraq Veterans right there in the title.

    And you’ll notice that the Left puts veterans right in the front of their movements in their uniforms and IVAW T-shirts, organizations like IVAW are merely mannequins for the fruit pie Left. The hippies think that hiding behind their uniforms give them some sort of credibility. But IVAW lost any credibility they might have had when their executive director was an AWOL Coastie stationed in Hawaii who couldn’t bring himself to patrol fisheries for The Man.

    For a while IVAW started working for the health of returning veterans and I pretty much left them alone, but they’ve begun slipping back into their old habits. I guess, I’m going to have to order a whole new batch of FOIAs.

    Thanks to The Mr Wolf for the heads up.

  • Occupy Halloween Horror

    TSO sends this video of the horror inflicted on Occupy DC protesters from the good folks at Accuracy In Media;

    I noticed VFP’s and VVAW’s Winter Soldier I participant and IVAW advisor Bill Perry in the video, but I don’t see him at the table looking for a job.

  • “You did this”

    Old Trooper sends us a link to Fishbowl LA which is about the Marines taking to Reddit to show their support for Scott Olsen. Apparently, the picture above is from that media assault. I understand that, really, I do. My first reaction when I got the partial story was the same thing. Then I started doing my little “Google-foo” thing and started reading about how the thing happened and that Olsen was a member of IVAW and Veterans For Peace – big warning signals.

    But the clincher for me….because if you read my first about him, you’ll notice I wasn’t my usual asshole self. I gave him unquestioned credit for his service and two tours in Iraq…But, then this morning I read what he thought of his “brothers”;

    Maybe the brainwashing didn’t work on us.

    Loosely translated, that means the rest of you who are proud of your service and proud of the heritage and history of the Corps are brainwashed…you fell for the bullshit. That’s the guy you want to defend? Really?

    Both times I’ve written about him, I’ve been sympathetic about his injuries, even though he should have been following the instructions of the police…like anyone with half-of-a-brain would do – the police didn’t injure the whole Marine Corps…they injured one hippie fuckstick who has professed his hatred for the Marines.

    No self-respecting Marine would join IVAW, whose most famous Marine was Rick Duncan/Strandlof the phony gay Captain from Colorado, or VFP whose chief fund raiser is Doug Zachary, a Marine who was jettisoned from the Marine Corps for dealing drugs and being a general nuisance before he could be deployed to Vietnam.

    Seriously, do you want to peg your service to Olsen’s? Especially since most of Olsen’s posts on his website make it sound as if he was chaptered out/ for some sort of malfeasance.

    ADDED:Sporkmaster found this picture on Olsen’s Flickr account. This is what “your brother” thinks of you and your Corps;

  • Wearing their bloody shirt

    Everyone is sending links to articles about Scott Olsen, a two-tour veteran of iraq and a member of veterans For peace and Iraq veterans Against the War. olsen was injured when Oakland police attempted to clear the groups of smelly hippies and other protesters from their occupation. olsen, according to news reports, has a fractured skull from a projectile launched by police (by projectile, I’m guessing everyone means a rubber bullet, but they don’t want to say it out loud).

    It’s terrible that Olsen has been injured in such a brutal fashion, what’s really terrible is the way the hippies and the prtend veterans of Veterans For Peace are using his broken carcass for their own purposes.

    I don’t know if Olsen is really a Marine or if he had two tours of Iraq behind him…those of you with MOL accounts can find that out, since he left the Corp last year, supposedly. I’d like to believe that there are veterans out there who are who they say they are…it’s rare, but I want to believe it.

    I also don’t know what happened to Olsen or who did it, but even if what teh hippies are saying is entirely true, he shouldn’t have been resisting the police, which is what all of the crowd were doing. the hippies are saying he was injured for “speaking out” but he wasn’t speaking out, he was breaking the law. Veterans don’t get a pass when they break the law, even if it’s just a law we don’t agree with.

    Now, the hippies get to hide behind Olsen’s broken body and make a martyr of him…someone they would have spit on a few weeks ago and called a baby-killer. Scott, if you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas. laying down with VFP and IVAW gets you shot with rubber bullets. And then they get to use your unconcious body as a bloody shirt.

    And IVAW gets to use your blood-stained image to raise money;

  • The phonies at the VFP and IVAW

    One of my ninjas sent me these photos that they found on the internet. The first is tracey harmon, former girlfriend of Adam Kokesh. Now, harmon never deployed, she was in the California guard or Reserves. Her IVAW profile was full of love and understanding. the same kind of love and understanding that she took with her when she visited Iraq last year with Antiwar.com.

    I guess peace, love and understanding aren’t so glamorous.

    Speaking of dipshits, if you saw this guy, you’d think he was a Vietnam veteran, wouldn’t you?

    Well, that’s Doug Zachary, he’s not a Vietnam Veteran, he was chaptered out of the Marine Corps before he could be deployed. he’s doing what those clowns at IVAW are doing these days, wearing the T-shirt and not buying a Harley.

    So I wonder how many of hese cumbubbles fit in the same category?

    I see Ward Reilly, the phony Vietnam Ranger on the far right. the only real Vietnam veteran I see is portly Bill Perry, wearing his shower shoes . Perry was with the 82d in Vietnam, but then came back and joined John Kerry at VVAW and then lied about an ambush from which he hid out while his platoon was shot up. Perry finally admitted to me that he lied at Winter Soldier a few years back. He said his story was total “bullshit” to use his word, and that he only told it to get laid by the hippie chicks. But it’s Perry’s Vietnam service that gives creds to Reilly and Zachary. just like the actual Iraq War veterans get their service stolen by pople like Tracy Harmon.

  • The Occupy DC flop

    So I came to DC today to see for myself this magnificent people’s movement at Freedom Plaza, blocks from the White house and here it is in pictures. The DC police told the organizers that they couldn’t have tents when they first came last week. I guess “no tents” means different things to different people;

    Occupy DC 006

    The Veterans For Peace are here somewhere. I didn’t see any of the usual suspects, they were probably taking their afternoon nap’

    Occupy DC 008

    Here are all of the hippies, all twenty or so of them organizing for an action. I heard them talk about chanting and commands delivered by whistle blasts, but I’m sure that unless they’rre occupying a Starbucks, they won’t have much impact on daily life in DC gien their anemic number;

    Occupy DC 009

    But they had a cool truck that could probably accommodate the whole contingent instead of pitching the tents.

    Occupy DC 014

    You’d think that all of the potential protest targets in DC would have drawn more people…but then hippies are a lazy lot. Even outrage wears them out.

    Sorry for any errors, but I’m typing while my wife navigates DC’s shitty streets.

  • Protestor: “We are veterans of the United States of America” Cop: “Here, eat some pavement.”

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • Professional Protesters in DC

    In the video below it shows people from the protest trying to enter the Air and Space Museum because that is some how connected to the economy today.

    But some people on youtube have noticed something interesting on it.

    Watch the guy with the black shirt holding the camera from 00:09-00:12 unharmed. then look at him screaming in agony from time 00:19 to 00:22

    Not to mention quite a few didnt even cover there faces until they came out then started “acting” like they were? harmed.

    Is there anyone that still needs convincing that all of this is still just a act for attention rather then getting anything real accomplished?
