(NOTE TO READER: The Naval Investigative Service (NIS) was renamed the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) in 1992 after the infamous Tail Hook debacle. The NIS and the NCIS are the same organization)
From Peter Cary’s U.S. News & World Report cover-story “Navy Justice: The inside story of the Navy’s scandal-ridden police force—and the urgent need for reform,” (9 November 1992), former Newsweek correspondent Greg Vistica’s book, Fall From Glory (1995, reprinted in paperback in 1997), to Navy Times correspondent William McMichael’s The Mother of All Hooks (1997), then Kelly Patricia O’Meara’s Insight magazine’s article, “How Just Is Our Military Justice,” (14 May 2001), leading to Ed Pound’s U.S. News cover-story “UNEQUAL JUSTICE: Why America’s military courts are stacked to convict,” (16 December 2002), Ilario Pantano’s Warlord (2006), and if you’ll indulge me, from The JAG Hunter and JAGMIRE are culled these public abuses:
More is known about the NCIS than any of the other Gestapo forces. But each of these secret police forces operates in the same fashion, all obedient to the CINC’s orders.
Reported here is only some of what we know about, and only on the NCIS. There exist, as well, criminal complaints against Army officials for the same sorts of abuses. Feel free to contact The JAG Hunter with any information you hold on the NCIS, or the other goon-squads.
Tell us what you can about the cartoon morons; agents who remind me of the fast-food chain icon, “Jack.” Pretend detectives who take themselves seriously as crime-fighters, while in fact, they are just criminal clowns. I’m talking about goons who are in the business of excluding, or manufacturing, molding, manipulating, or concealing information—clowns in the business of running lives with purposeful intent.
The single sense we know Jack enjoys is the ability to reach out and touch his victims.
NCIS Gestapo agents do not investigate crimes, they only exploit and advance the agendas of the powerful over the powerless.
It’s time someone slapped that stupid smirk off their silly, Styrofoam, antennae ball heads.
I’m just the guy to do it. And I’m ready, willing, and able.
JAGs—JUDGES FOR AGRICULTURE
MARINES AND SOLDIERS AS CASH CROPS
Recruiters plant the seeds and the CINC’s Gestapo harvests the crops.
American’s and their mainstream culture have rarely been more disconnected from their armed forces than today. The divorce was finalized when CINC Nixon ended the draft in 1973. Because the American people have not been asked to sacrifice anything for over three decades, the all-volunteer military is an abysmal failure.
Few in the larger American culture really care much about the criminal clowns who prey upon our troops. Maybe that will change as they become more intrusive than at present in their practices of community policing.
The NCIS case load in the early ‘90’s hovered around 17,000 annually. With mission creep, involvement in community police work, women in the military, and recruiters supplying a target rich environment, NCIS predatory tactics surely have raised the number to well over 25,000 (a very conservative guess). The CINC’s Gestapo is able to routinely submit misleading, inaccurate, and mendacious reports falsely accusing very young and vulnerable troops in manufactured crimes. Gestapo agents harvesting recruiter planted fields for JAG consumption. Hard Gestapo/JAG crime statistics and punishment reports are not publicly available. Neither are the budget numbers. National secrets don’t ya know.
Speaking for me, a most startling statistic arising out of the present combat is that over the past 5 years, it’s the JAG Corps that’s grown 10%, faster than any other component of the military establishment. Thank the recruiters for that.
A largely disinterested and dismissive civilian populace, combined with aggressive, unprincipled recruiters, the marked decline in quality of the senior officer corps (disintegrating, and increasingly corrupt) and the dramatic infusion of uniformed trial lawyers into the battle space leaves the lower ranks particularly vulnerable.
U.S. Marines and Army infantrymen represent particularly lucrative cash crops.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My own ongoing experience is particularly revelatory and damaging to the CINC and his sycophants (Navy/Marine Corps JAGs and the NCIS Gestapo).
In 1989, commander in chief George Herbert Walker Bush illegally and criminally ordered my court-martial. CINC Bush (41) reached in to fix (rig) the hearing process so as to achieve the desired outcome. There was no underlying misconduct, no criminal act. Just a vendetta to execute.
Navy Rear Admiral (one-star) John W. Bitoff carried out CINC Bush’s orders applying those standard courts-martial practices and tactics roundly condemned on the pages of The JAG Hunter, JAGMIRE, and elsewhere. The forgery of my name to a bogus confession stands as the most prominent unlawful act. Helping Bitoff were Bitoff’s staff JAG, Tim Zeller, and the Marine JAG Bitoff and Zeller picked to defend me, Kevin “Andy” Anderson.
In those situations where the CINCs Gestapo is not able to force confessions, wily JAGs will simply create them.
CINC Bush (41), CINC Clinton, and now CINC Bush (43) misplaced their reliance upon command racketeers they thought could keep secrets secret. Sloppy document handling, confidential informants, self-declarations of guilt reduced to writing or blurted out in surprised, excited utterances have foreclosed on any possibility of denial. The truth is out. All three men offer the proof of their own words, adding to the massive documentary record, have turned themselves in.
But before their allocutions and even since, realizing fully news of the proven forgery would expose every other aspect of the manipulated court-martial making the Navy/Marine Corps look “really bad,” Navy JAGs joined by NCIS Gestapo thugs continue to aggressively conceal their criminal enterprise. Ignoring unending reports of the clumsy identity theft, the original of the forgery was snuck into the hearing record. Later the hearing record was spirited out of a federal records facility and hidden in a cardboard box. The box was placed in a closet of a Marine JAG’s office at the Washington Navy Yard.
(Note: Nowadays, the hearing record in the case of Navy Petty Officer James Praefke is being hidden in similar fashion)
Unearthed in December 1997 by NCIS agent Richard Allen, and JAG Inspector General, Navy Captain Rand Pixa, there commenced a flurry of activity to clean up the mess without pursuing criminal prosecutions of senior military officers. This, of course, carried out completely at my expense.
Rear Admiral John D. Hutson was Navy JAG in 1997 and was called upon to examine the “artwork” suspected counterfeit and render an opinion regarding its true origin. To be sure, Hutson declared CINC Bush’s (41) forgery of my name a authentic, case closed. Every Navy TJAG since 1992 has played a part in keeping the forgery out of sight while criminally representing the misspelling authentic. Ah...excuse this pesky detail, but that’s a criminal act, and the men acting together in its commission is the very definition of a conspiracy, a contemporary conspiracy.
(MEMO TO HAMDANIA MARINE DEFENSE TEAMS: NAVY TJAG BRUCE MACDONALD IS A REPORTED CRIMINAL, HOLDING THE ORIGINAL OF THE FORGERY.)
NCIS Gestapo agents have played right along since 1990. No arrests were effected when the stashed hearing record was found secreted away. And NCIS handwriting experts covered-up the unmistakably counterfeit writing. Looking deeper into core criminal business of the fixed court-martial was simply out of the question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve supplied evidence to defense teams for Marines of KILO Company, 3 Battalion, 1st Marine Division, 5th Marine Regiment. NCIS agents Ernie Simon and James Connolly are reported felons in the circumstance surrounding the forgery of my name. Connolly, with three unidentified NCIS agents threatened me personally with physical harm during an unannounced assault on my residence in March 2005.
James Connolly, Ernie Simon, L.J. Beyer, Thomas Betro were identified as criminals to families of the Pendleton Eight last summer, and unendingly ever since. I was particularly agitated after news reports detailed the circumstances of the initial event and treatment of the Marines. What has been most baffling and frustrating is that there’s a complete defense to be made.
So why would innocent Marines take the deals?
This report (criminal complaint) is my answer to the question I’m asked unceasingly asked regarding why parents and defense teams have so far failed to publicly discredited the NCIS clowns (as have David Sheldon and Matthew Cord) in the defense of their sons. Six of the Pendleton Eight have been forced under duress to take plea deals. So far, the government has deftly avoided having to bring a case into the hearing room.
Circumstances regarding charges now leveled against Staff Sergeant Raymond Girouard—Army Ranger—are nearly the same.
One can’t be occupying space above ground, circulating blood, foggin’ a mirror eyes open and not be cognizant of the outrageous conduct of the military Gestapo. I’ve repeated central elements of magazine articles and book segments describing hard evidence of NCIS abuse and tactics.
For those who wear the uniform and reach mid-level grades (enlisted or officer), it’s simply impossible to be ignorant of the criminal conduct of the JAGs and the secret police forces. In the sea services, for instance, you tell one narrative regarding a court-martial or NCIS abuse, and you’re answered with two more. Certainly one does not rise to the rank of Colonel, Captain, Admiral or General and not know.
Harkening back to Admiral Rickover’s NCIS encounter courtesy of Navy Secretary Lehman, it can be authoritatively asserted that defense attorneys in the Hamdania cases especially, refuse to compromise the NCIS through complicity or cowardice. Either these attorneys endorse and support the military discipline system (for many it is a way of life), or they fear blackmail.
I am greatly alarmed that the NCIS (as the other Gestapo agencies) have become so powerful.
You should be alarmed too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ACCUSE!
As detailed, voluminous and ubiquitous the rendering of NCIS-JAG criminal conduct, ignored so far is the advance of formal complaints, thousands of them.
I hold standing. I intend to slap the smirk off their faces. I accuse the persons below describing them criminals. Particularizing their criminal conduct here is beyond the scope of this work. However, these public accusations, in most cases, repeat more formal complaints filed already with the Department of Justice, FBI, DCIS, NCIS, DODIG, and Congress. These lists are by no means exhaustive.
CONGRESS
(1) Norman D. Dicks.
I can name many more but Norm Dicks stands as the poster child for that group of federal legislators turned against out armed forces. Cowards, all of them, in their failure to reconcile military government with the Constitution thereby allowing one abuse after the next to be visited upon our troops and their families.
Because of Norm Dicks I’ve been jailed in Kitsap County in my attempt to advocate on behalf of former Army Captain James Yee. After that Norm Dicks played a part in dispatching four armed NCIS agents to my residence on 3 March 2005. James H. Connolly headed the team of four who arrived unannounced, deployed in a defensive perimeter around the entrance, and communicated written and verbal threats of physical harm should I attempt to continue my advance complaints regarding the unlawful conduct by people named here.
Norm Dicks was personally responsible for deploying a team of three Homeland Security agents to my residence six times in four days in early December 2006. Responsive to Dicks’ command, the agents went to my Bremerton, WA. Church and interrogated a 12-year old girl to find out where I lived. The lead agent, Larry McConnell, left a missive on my door commanding, “Mr. Fitzpatrick…you need to contact me to talk.”
Some may puzzle over why NORM DICKS would react so violently against a constituent. Well, as it happens, the man upon whom fell the assignment to put pen to paper to scratch out the misspelled forgery is “Andy” Anderson. Following CINC Bush’s orders, Bitoff assigned Marine Captain Anderson as my defense counsel, a ringer in the fixing of the court-martial to be sure.
Today Andy Anderson is a senior deputy prosecuting attorney in Kitsap County, central in NORM DICKS congressional district. NORM DICKS was first alerted to Andy Anderson’s criminal past in 1997. Of course, every case Anderson has touched in his long prosecutorial tenure is contaminated. Hundreds, if not thousands of NORM DICKS’ constituents are affected. NORM DICKS would rather these affected citizens in his home district didn’t find out the truth regarding Anderson’s role in this criminal business.

Military commanders from the CINC down are waging war on our own troops. It’s classic Orwell: Warrior leaders have morphed into cowardly racketeers. Pansies now stand where Patton once stood.
I say stop! I’ve had enough. It’s time to fight back. I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore! And I’m calling upon the American people for help!
The past three CINCs have demonstrated their willing betrayal of the U.S. serviceman. They are simply common thieves. The incumbent is no longer deserving of our trust. Because he’s unfit for command, again a participating felon in long-running criminal project, he must be relieved of command if he refuses to resign his commission.
Infantrymen are forced to think before they shoot. JAG rules of engagement (ROE) are getting’ our kids killed. Battlefields are transformed into crime scenes. Instead of conducting battle damage assessments we send in CSI clown detectives to recover evidence in service to political agendas. Trial lawyers have been disguised in military garb and inserted into war zones. Soldiers and Marines are being indicted for doing their jobs. Following orders is turned into a criminal act. The end result of these transformations is that where America once prosecuted wars, it now just prosecutes its warriors. Has it missed your attention that in the Global War on Terror we’ve court-martialed and punished more American servicemen that terrorists? Hells bells, we’ve court-martialed and locked up more Marines than terrorists.
We simply must start cleaning out the temple, and fixing what’s badly broken. I suggest, as a quick beginning all military political prisoners, innocent if only because they suffered attainder, be immediately released. Where deemed necessary, we retry them before a jury trial.
I do not tolerate bullies.
My efforts to report the CINC and his sycophants as common thieves triggered federal and state police responses. I report here again CINC George H.W. Bush’s krooked kourt-martial, the NCIS cover-up, and the rape of my name.
For the American people, pass the word and speak the words clearly:
The rape of my name is simply not acceptable. Whether the crime is committed by whacked out kids stealing financial information from a mail box for meth money or the commander in chief’s ordering command racketeers to do the deed, it’s the same criminal act, it’s unacceptable, and it’s personal.
TELL THESE PEOPLE THE NEXT TIME A FEDERAL AGENT OR POLICE OFFICER SHOWS UP AT MY DOOR TO INSULT ME, TO THREATEN ME, TO TRY TO INTIMIDATE ME, TO TRY TO MAKE ME STOP…BRING A LUNCH ‘CAUSE NEXT TIME…NEXT TIME THERE’S GONNA BE A FIGHT!
THE CINC AND HIS SYCOPHANTS MUST BE REFUSED THE LIGITIMACY OF THIS CORRUPT AND CORRUPTED MILITARY DISCIPLINE SYSTEM.
I WILL NOT GO AWAY. I WILL NOT STOP!
BEWARE THE FURY OF THE PATIENT MAN!
HERE ENDTH THE LESSON!
