Jesse Who??


This is coolbert:

See here the wiki entry for Jesse Macbeth. Enough to turn your stomach and then some.

"Macbeth's form DD-214, 'Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty' record shows he entered U.S. Army service May 1, 2003 and separated from the Army June 13, 2003, without completing basic training, and with no authorization for decorations, medals, badges, citations or campaign ribbons."

This "man" is just a plain old ordinary bad guy that even beats his girlfriend.

"May 23, 2006, Pierce County, Washington Superior Court issues a bench warrant for Jesse Adam Macbeth. Underlying charges of violating a protective court order and fourth degree assault."

There is something else that concerns me about Jesse. His given name at birth is "Jesse Adam Al-Zaid" Al-Zaid!! A Muslim name. Jesse had the name changed [his parents did?] to Macbeth as of 1986 [Jesse is purportedly born in 1984 - - his parent changed the name??!!].

Al-Zaid!! Alarm bells going off in my head!! Has someone reached this guy BEFORE he joined the Army?? Was he a sent agent who was such a malcontent he could not even complete basic training? Is he a Muslim reaching back to his "heritage"?

I hope Homeland Security is doing more than a cursory check on this bad guy. At least I hope so.

The Wannabee!

This is coolbert:

“once the horses are out of the barn, there ain’t no gettin’ them back.”

Very good story in the Chicago Tribune today.

Concerns a topic that has been the subject of prior blog entries.

That very odious, sorry, sad-sack type of individual that deserves universal opprobrium!!

"op·pro·bri·um –noun 1. the disgrace or the reproach incurred by conduct considered outrageously shameful; infamy."

The military imposter/poseur’/charlatan/prevaricator/hustler/scam artist!!!

Persons that claim to have served their country in a noble, brave, courageous fashion, performing the most dangerous duty in elite units, winning all sorts of medals, decorations and awards, being wounded repeatedly, etc.!

[“I was a Navy SEAL/Army Ranger/Special Forces/Marine/Delta Force/Special Operations!!” NEVER A COMMUNICATIONS CENTER SPECIALIST!!]

Persons that are being constantly unmasked and detected by dedicated amateur investigators using the Internet! MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, PERSONS THAT HAVE TO BE PITIED??!!

Consider this smattering of cases: [All persons considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law!!]

“‘D.R.’ showed up in Yorkville [IL.] saying he was a homeless Vietnam veteran who had lost everything in Hurricane Katrina”

“In Atlantic City, Mayor Bob Levy stopped showing up at work last week amid a reported federal probe into his false claims about his Vietnam military service”

“the leader of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe on Cape Cod, . ,. . stepped aside recently and apologized for lying about his military record. He falsely claimed to have received a Silver Star and five Purple Hearts.”

“eight men [in Seattle] who allegedly faked their military service in conflicts stretching back to World War II.”

“a local man [Indiana] had won two Silver Starts in combat in Iraq.”

“An Oak Park [IL.] man named John Dietz was asked to lead the 4th of July parade this year on a Wednesday Journal newspaper account of repeatedly being wounded in combat [Vietnam]. (He also claimed to have played linebacker at the University of Michigan.)”

[Dietz is telling one big whopper!? Also claimed to have a brother that was killed in Vietnam. NO SOLDIER NAMED DIETZ WAS EVER KILLED IN VIETNAM!! When this fact was presented to John, the reply was, “at that time, we did not go by the name of Dietz!”]

And perhaps the most egregious and villainous example of the military imposter/poseur’/charlatan/prevaricator/hustler/scam artist is Jesse Macbeth:

“embraced by peace activists eager to discredit the Iraq war after he claimed to have joined other Army Rangers in slaughtering hundreds of unarmed civilians in Iraq. In fact his service was limited to a few weeks in Army boot camp before he was kicked out”

“That guy [Jesse] made a 40-minute DVD that the anti-war movement was using” . . . and he’s very graphic about how he killed people, how he tortured them, how he shot the baby, dragged the mother out and blew her brains out - - on and on an on. It’s [the DVD] been translated into Arabic and it’s now being used as a recruiting tool for suicide bombers.”

[I am sure the jihadi recruiter does NOT mention any sort of disclaimer!! NOT ANY OF WHAT JESSE SAID HE HAD DONE WAS EVEN REMOTELY TRUE!! ]

DOES THIS FOOL [JESSE] EVEN HAVE ANY CONCEPTION OF THE DAMAGE HE HAS DONE?? PERHAPS FOR DECADES TO COME!! THESE TYPES OF “STORIES” HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN!! JESSE IS DOING FIVE MONTHS IN PRISON. HE SHOULD BE DOING FIVE DECADES!!

Wannabee.

This is coolbert:

Came across this quite by accident. Very interesting.

Devoted readers will recall that I have posted to the blog a number of entries dealing with the military imposter/poseur'/wannabee war hero.

It seems that the phenomenon of the military imposter/poseur'/wannabee war hero was present even in ANCIENT TIMES!!??

Consider this: [thanks to Nick B.; RT HABU, through "Tilt"]

"You know the ancient Danes had a group called the House Thralls, those who guarded the King and the JKingdom [Jute Kingdom?]. To falsely claim to be a Thrall was adjudged to be a sin that required having ones tongue cut out and face branded with the rune of Loki. that of the Liar and Trickster, then banished from the land. Any who gave succor to he with this mark were adjudged as guilty also."

"suc·cor

–noun 1. help; relief; aid; assistance.
2. a person or thing that gives help, relief, aid, etc.
–verb (used with object) 3. to help or relieve."

NOW, let me tell you about the time I was on a secret mission in the Philippines for Uncle Sam. Had to fight off stinging wasps the size of helicopters with a chain saw, all the while being assailed by natives firing blowgun darts at me. And at the same time crossing a 1,000 foot chasm via an expedient rope bridge. I would tell you more, but it is strictly TOP SECRET!

Please, NO tongue cutting!!
