Jesse MacBeth is the easiest phony to re-bust, you know since he was the first and most famous phony soldier of the war against terror. <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/?p=165850\">Michelle Malkin<\/a> says that he has reinvented himself.<\/p>\n<p>You may remember that initially, he claimed back in 2003-2006 that he had  been a Ranger, served years in Iraq and that he&#8217;d been forced to commit atrocities at the behest of his commanders. He was sponsored in his phony endeavors by the Iraq Veterans Against the War which had been recently established. The stank-ass hippies over there completely endorsed him and vouched for his story. Here&#8217;s the DD214 that he used to establish his creds;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60022\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60022\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/jesse_macbethdd214-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"jesse_macbethdd214\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/jesse_macbethdd214-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/jesse_macbethdd214-270x333.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/jesse_macbethdd214.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Of course, we&#8217;ve seen more realistic fakes since then, but this was in the early days.

In 2007, he tried to use the fake DD214 to get VA benefits and he was busted and sentenced to 6 months in the hoosegow. When he got out, for some reason he tried contacting me and we wrote a series of posts about him and his relationship with IVAW, but I could never get the name of who helped him forge the DD214. Oh, well, they&#8217;re all criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Now he&#8217;s mounted the Stolen Valor phony pony again. He&#8217;s still trying to pass off the photo at the top of this post as a true and accurate portrayal  of his service. He&#8217;s going by the name of Jeshiem Al-Amin these days and he thinks that by crossing out the name tags no one will recognize him.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60024\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60024\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-MacBeth-Screen-shot-242x300.png\" alt=\"Jesse MacBeth Screen shot\" width=\"242\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-MacBeth-Screen-shot-242x300.png 242w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-MacBeth-Screen-shot-269x333.png 269w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-MacBeth-Screen-shot.png 430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s drawing on his weeks of military service to give career advice, too;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60025\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60025\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-macBeth-screen-shot-1-300x262.png\" alt=\"Jesse macBeth screen shot 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60025\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The story that he told me about his brief service is that his drill sergeants and his fellow trainees were &#8220;out to get&#8221; him because he is a Muslim. I don&#8217;t believe that for a second. If there is one place that is colorblind, it&#8217;s the US military. But, anyway, that&#8217;s his story. <\/p>\n<p>His phony stories began in Arizona with the Eastern Arizona Courier in November 2003. It worked so well for him, I guess he tried to go nationwide. But, they always get caught. He&#8217;s been arrested for credit card fraud and domestic abuse as well as the conviction for the attempt to defraud the VA.<\/p>\n<p>So, now, he wants to build a Muslim community in Georgia and he has a GoFundMe account for that purpose. Given his history as a liar and a thief (albeit an unsuccessful, incompetent thief) I wouldn&#8217;t trust him with a nickel. I am disappointed, though, that he didn&#8217;t float this balloon by us before he launched this latest endeavor. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to everyone who sent us the link to <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/?p=165850\">Michelle Malkin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE<\/strong>: Finally, a legal threat from Jesse.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60026\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-threat-300x78.jpg\" alt=\"Jesse threat\" width=\"300\" height=\"78\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-threat-300x78.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-threat-500x130.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Jesse-threat.jpg 584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some more from his Facebook page;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60028\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60028\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Arlington-300x117.jpg\" alt=\"Macbeth Arlington\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Arlington-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Arlington-500x195.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Arlington.jpg 1219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=60029\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60029\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Hussein-bin-Laden-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"Macbeth Hussein bin Laden\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Hussein-bin-Laden-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Macbeth-Hussein-bin-Laden.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes the best phonies are the old phonies.
