Politics: Registered Independant Profession: Carpenter and Multi-Tradesman<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My favorite though wasn&#8217;t that bio, but this one where he was named the <a href=\"http:\/\/boomersint.org\/boomt22.htm\">&#8220;boomer of the month&#8221; for September 1999<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Love the Ladies, especially the ones who don&#8217;t play Any Games, are Honest with themselves first and with others&#8230;Vietnam Vet, Ran Armory Naval HeadQuarters Saigon and Rode Rivers on PRB&#8217;s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Do tell me more. Did you ever work with Special Ops types?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also worked with the Seals as they had an Amory in same Compound! Served 4yrs, in the Navy Came out a GunnersMate 2nd Class. 1st year Merridian Naval Air Station,1 1\/2yrs. Rodman Naval Station Panama Canal Zone. Naval SERE Training Coronado Calif. Then In Country Vietnam!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The &#8220;Amory&#8221; thing threw me for a loop, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=amory\">so I looked it up on Urban Dictionary<\/a>, and apparently an Amory is &#8220;a word to describe a mixed-nationality person who spends a lot of money per week. Most are known to eat a lot of kimchi and listen to the METAL genre of music frequently.&#8221; So there you have it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, when not blogging for VoteVets, Jim has his own blog entitled &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/imagineaworldof.blogspot.com\/\">&#8216;Imagine&#8217; A World Of Peace,Understanding,Tolerance<\/a>&#8220;. Jonn has actually linked there before when Jim was pontificating about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=10588\">&#8220;Fragging&#8221; and the Iraq and Viet Nam meme going around.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jim likes to make movies, like this one honoring Flag Day by ridiculing anyone who puts out that flag. &#8220;Old Glory was pimped out into some kinda two bit whore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<object width=\"320\" height=\"270\" data=\"http:\/\/blip.tv\/play\/grtNlpI0hbMm\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/blip.tv\/play\/grtNlpI0hbMm\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Jim also wrote up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vaiw.org\/vet\/index.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=1634\">&#8220;Declaration of Impeachment, Veterans for Peace&#8221;<\/a> apparently, or at least spent a great deal of time posting it all over the internet.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We, therefore&#8230;do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People&#8230;solemnly publish and declare, That these&#8230;Free and Independent (People)&#8230;are Absolved from all Allegiance to the (Bush Administration), and that all political connection between them and (this Administration), is and ought to be totally dissolved&#8230;And for the support of this Declaration&#8230;we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Honestly, half of the time I have no clue what he is talking about, like this one:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These last years only enhanced, greatly, the already growing hatreds from our past failed foreign policies in meddling in their countries, resources, and politics. They have greatly increased the numbers of those we label as al Qaeda or Taliban and especially the new 21st century label, for all who oppose us and our actions, similar to theirs, &#8220;Terrorist&#8221;, as we wage our Terror! Only ours is High Tech terror,, with greater destruction and death, theirs low tech, so ours is righteous, it cost more, and well we&#8217;re the supreme power and leader of freedom? and democracy?!! &#8220;God Bless America&#8221;?!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The point of that is to praise some piece by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/article7547.html\">Gordon Duff of Veterans Today<\/a> wherein he (Duff Guy) espoused crackpot 9\/11 conspiracy nonsense:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Why would 9\/11 be covered up if there wasn&#8217;t some reason? Our military and intelligence community is filled with people who have gone public about 9\/11. Few questions were answered and it was just too convenient, falling right into the middle of a plan we now know for certain was designed to create a reason to invade Iraq. Only cowards refuse to demand answers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, anyway, everyone say hello to Jim Staro, VoteVets Blogger, member of Veterans for Peace, possible truther, and maker of bad videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>** OK, I have changed to Diarist per request from Lurker.\u00a0 I remain unconvinced that VV &hellip; <a title=\"Better know a VoteVets DIARIST**: Jim Starowicz, he loves the ladies and making crappy films\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=12107\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Better know a VoteVets DIARIST**: Jim Starowicz, he loves the ladies and making crappy films<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12107\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
