Punishment without Law!

By Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III

Saint Crispin's Day 2006

“Today, you are the law!”

So begins Frank Galvin’s summation to the jury in the movie The Verdict. Galvin’s narration laconically illustrates to citizens in the jury box that their participation, inspection, deliberation, and approval of government action defines the rule of law. More to the point Galvin’s succinct charter defines the rule and role of citizen juries.

The scales of justice in criminal proceedings balance the interests of the state against the rights and interests of citizens. In peace time jurors do the assaying.

In time of WAR (large letters), the rules change.

The first casualty of WAR is the jury. Truth’s survival is irrelevant.

Juries are silent in time of WAR (inter arma leges silent).

WAR as I mean it describes that level of mortal combat that when concluded a nation or its form or government or both fall dead next to its soldiers. During times of dire predicament only a dictatorship, the lawless enforcement of discipline upon a country’s citizenry and military, works to effectively put that nation on a WAR footing.

Courts are closed by the advance of an invading armed force. WAR time criminal proceedings eliminate fundamental procedural rights. There are no juries, no judges, no courts or trials, no due process, no bail, no habeas corpus, no appeal. There are no verdicts. No accusers need step forward; no physical evidence is necessary nor testimonial evidence. There needs not even be a crime to execute punishment of a citizen. Shooting citizens on sight is an approved military disciplinary custom. Survival of the state is the only interest served in an environment populated by government actors in a time of WAR. Resistance is futile.

Punishment decisions are vested in a single person and are totally discretionary. WAR time enemies face our government at its most vicious and merciless moment. Military governors are unconcerned with arguments made in self-defense by combatants who in that instant before capture were trying to kill us. Concerns about full and fair hearings, ethics, truth, innocence, justice or rights are rejected outright and rendered irrelevant. Americans lock their enemies up or kill them after the commander in chief determines extant threat at his discretion.

In time of WAR the commander in chief becomes a dictator so that success on the field of battle is possible when the life of the nation is at risk. Articles of WAR are substituted for fundamental constitutional principles of jurisprudence in answer to a survival instinct.

AWs were adopted by the Continental Congress empowering General George Washington with dictatorial control of his army. Without absolute control of its discipline, Washington “would not have an army” capable or competent to fight. The essence of military proceedings under the AWs “is summary and vigorous action…courts-martial are no part of the Judiciary of the United States, are not even courts in the full sense of the term…” We are warned martial law is no law at all “but something indulged, rather than allowed as law: the necessity of order and discipline in [the armed forces] the only thing which can give it countenance.” Military law is so severe, so draconian it “ought not be permitted in time of peace, when the...courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.”

The Revolutionary WAR ended when the British government and its holdings lay dead next to their soldiers. A new nation, America, stood tall. The Continental Army and Navy were disbanded; the Articles of WAR were effaced to be eventually replaced by our U.S. Constitution.

Jury inspection of all criminal allegations was restored in the Vth Amendment commanding…“Any person accused of a capital (serious) or infamous (horrible) crime, except a person on active duty with the military forces during time of war (small letters) or public danger, must be indicted (charged and held for trial) by a grand jury (twelve to twenty-three persons selected to decide if there is enough evidence or information against the accused to hold a trial).”

Our Founders mandated that grand juries give permission before trail juries should be allowed to examine and render final judgments regarding guilt or innocence. In time of war (small letters) or public danger, when courts are open and operating, the grand jury is skipped for members of the land and naval forces on active duty. Then in that circumstance, criminal allegations are advanced directly to jury trials.

Beyond placing restraint upon the government from wrongly or capriciously acting against citizens, juries are additionally and immeasurably invaluable by keeping connected and accountable the armed forces to its people.

Direct government punishment absent jury approval is called “attainder.”

America's Founding Fathers stripped attainder power from all government officials and strictly, specifically prohibited its renewal through new legislation. Under the Constitution, no single person or group of people is empowered to practice attainder. Federal and state government officials are expressly prohibited from punishing any U.S. citizen without a jury’s permission. Protection from juries against direct action by the state was regarded so inviolable that the Founders placed stern prohibitions blocking federal and state legislatures from eliminating jury participation. Bills of attainder are illicit.

Unfortunately for members of the armed forces no one powerful enough is in a position to stop the Congress then or since when it authorizes military government under renewed Articles of WAR irreconcilable with the U.S. Constitution.

Despite constitutional prohibitions preventing Congress from either seizing attainder power, or extending attainder power it does not possess to another, Congress has passed, nurtured and kept hidden in plain sight bills of attainder throughout our nation’s history. To the detriment of our armed forces Congress replaced juries with “bodies of military men ordered to investigate accusations, arrive at facts, and—where just—recommend a punishment” to the commander in chief. Attainder by confession is currently forced upon the seven Marines kept in a cave at Camp Pendleton, California.

Juries are missing from all U.S. military criminal proceedings be they courts-martial, tribunals, or commissions. While juries are required under the Constitution, the word jury is nowhere found in America’s Articles of WAR (renamed the Uniform Code of Military Justice in 1950), nor in the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

The facility of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, for instance, is subterfuge. It’s a contrivance being used to fool our citizenry into believing that two different standards of punishment are being employed against 1) our servicemen, and 2) enemy pirates.

Neither protocol includes trial by jury. Both operate as illicit bills of attainder when used to punish American citizens criminally.

More: Every member of the armed forces punished by the commander in chief through the agency of military governors is wrongfully “attainted;” that is, punished without law. Those incarcerated today through the workings of a congressionally created criminal hearing process (attainder by confession for instance) are political prisoners in every sense the phrase can be understood.

The same government methods being used to punish pirate enemies trying to kill us are simultaneously directed against countrymen who’ve pledged their lives to save ours. This is an outrage!

These thoughts in closing:

Our enemies are domestic.

America’s armed forces have never been so disconnected and unaccountable from our citizenry than is the case today.

No citizen oversight or accountability exists regulating or restraining America’s standing, professional armed force.

Supreme Court condemnation of attainder and responsibility is deserted.

It needs be repeated that the Congress must be held accountable for bills of attainder and attainder by confession at work in the moment.

Articles of WAR must be short-lived. AWs on the books now must be put to sleep until made necessary again. Instead Congress has made AWs permanent. Just last week the commander in chief approved the most expansive extension of attainder power over citizens known to Americans since the Civil WAR.

The Constitution renders dormant the Articles of War (UCMJ). The operation of one mutually excludes the operation of the other. Courts are either open or closed.

Military officers supporting the continued operation of the Articles of WAR in time of peace, the practice of attainder, must resign their commissions instantly in obedience to their oaths of office. This includes, of course, the most senior military officer, the commander in chief.

Don’t enlist. Don’t re-enlist. The force is all-volunteer.

Force Congress to shut-down all unconstitutional military police forces. Their congressional charter is to enforce bills of attainder (NCIS, Army CID, Air Force OSI, CGIS).

The Constitution applies to all Americans whenever the courts are open. Our contemporaneous combat with air, land, and naval pirates is war writ small. American jury courts are open today; I trust they’ll be open tomorrow.

Fight bact at the ballot box. There you be the jury. Demand in the upcoming election and every election afterwards public accountability from incumbent federal office holders and challengers regarding their public positions regarding the extraordinary rendition of juries.

Immediately, and especially for those like the Marines being kept in a cave at Camp Pendleton stand up as united American's we speak out with one united voice demanding: NO MORE PUNISHMENT WITHOUT LAW!

Let not your hearts be troubled...

To Truthout.org Director Marc Ash, Counselor Bill Simpich, Reporter Sari Gelzer, and contributors Dahr Jammail and Sarah Olson: Have no worries.

None of you suffer under Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) jurisdiction. Courts-martial are congressionally created disciplinary hearing forums. They are established to punish military personnel and civilians assigned in support of military operations (contingency operations – this, a recent UCMJ amendment). Congress authorizes the commander-in-chief (our chief executive) to directly punish only those persons who come under UCMJ authority.

Again, none of you do.

Never mind the UCMJ is an illicit act of attainder, those touched by its “punitive articles” include:

(1) Regular component service members

(2) Cadets and midshipmen

(3) Reservists (Guardsmen) when ordered to active duty

(4) Retirees

(5) Military inmates

(6) Prisoners of War

(7) Certain civilians in company with military forces

Congress permits only one person, the president of the United States (POTUS), acting in the role of commander-in-chief (CINC), to punish people listed in categories under the Articles of War (AWs or UCMJ). The CINC delegates punishment authority downward to senior military officers who assemble and populate (convene) courts-martial. These admirals and generals are more commonly called “convening authorities.”

The word “jury” nowhere appears in the AWs/UCMJ (never has). There are no “juries.” There are no "trials." There are no “judges,” no “defense counsels,” or “prosecutors.” A court-martial is not a court. In fact, the practice of courts-martial is the practice of “attainder”—punishment without law. It’s mattered not a wit Congress is proscribed from passing bills of attainder, stripping themselves that legislative authority. The AWs/UCMJ, acts of attainder, have flourished while the Constitution atrophies.

Courts-martial are councils of war called together in the name of the CINC. Their purpose is to gather information and make recommendations to the CINC (by way of the convening authority) regarding matters presented to members. Said another way, the CINC/CA orders military personnel to attend, report, and consult regarding disposition of matters inspected during these disciplinary hearings.

Whether their recommendations are accepted, modified, or rejected is left completely to the discretion of the CA/CINC.

In your specific circumstance, the very notion a military officer believes he can order any of you into a court-martial hearing, acting in the name and under the authority of the CINC, makes my point clearly and forcefully regarding an atrophied Constitution.

As there are no elements of a federal court (Article III) attendant to the congressionally created military hearings—courts-martial (Article I)—such as trials, juries, judges, and the like, there are no such things as “subpoenas.”

Subpoenas are unnecessary in the military discipline scheme. The CINC/CA simply orders his UCMJ subjects to be present at courts-martial..

Insofar as the CA/CINC holds no authority over you, he can't order you to do anything. That also means the CA/CINC can't punish you for being absent from Lt. Erin Watada’s GCM. No one…not even the POTUS.

In the United States, for the moment at least, acts of attainder are acceptable only when directed against America's servicemen. Many people are working hard to efface attainder being practiced against any person. People who've taken oaths to support and defend the Constitution.

Maybe now, as members of the press, you'll be motivated to join that effort.

I trust you’ll find this information invaluable now that you know you’re off the hook, and know why. I suspect professional colleagues will be as relieved as you. Please pass the word.

And please consider making a donation to the Warrior fund to help our troops defend themselves from the acts of attainder I’ve just described. Spread that word too.

Be generous. Our kids are in desperate trouble. You know the feeling.

Here endth the lesson

On the Rape of a Name!
A letter to American Legion Post 106 – Sweetwater, Tennessee

Ladies and Gentlemen of the American Legion,

The American Legion led the fight against an abusive and corrupt military discipline system immediately after World War II. I write this day in a petition, a prayer to you that you inspire American Legion comrades to raise their collective voices in unified contempt regarding even more draconian outrages being perpetrated on servicemen today.

Extant circumstances facing your adopted native son Staff Sergeant Raymond Girouard—U.S. Army Ranger—and SSgt. Girouard’s family motivate my importunity. But you all realize SSgt. Girouard symbolizes another American legion of servicemen trampled asunder by the criminal escapades of military governors, uniformed and civilian.

This is personal. It’s been a struggle to adequately explain reaction to betrayal by those you once trusted with your life. A trust misplaced in those whom you once thought could be trusted. I’m not certain the physical and emotional outrage can be fully described. But Dennis Prager came close in his recent and clear commentary on how the rape of a name, unlike a physical rape, affects the psyche more deeply and more dangerously.

I had to read about the exploits Dr. Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, Jr., a navy junior-grade lieutenant, in history books. Under enemy sniper fire my Dad treated and saved some of the 350 men of KILO and LIMA companies, 3rd Battalion/47th Infantry Regiment, 9^th ID, during a dramatic “suicide” raid into Safi Harbor, part of OPERATION TORCH (8 November 1942).

Our connection to SSgt. Girouard is as much a part of my struggle in recovery from the rape of a family name as my desire to prevent name-rape and betrayal from crushing SSgt. Girouard and other servicemen, their families, and their communities. At the most elemental level I must tell you I want my family name returned as much I wish to prevent military outlaws from robbing any more.

Issues regarding other methods command racketeers employ to destroy men through kidnap, false imprisonment, character assassination, property seizure, or identity theft are as nearly important.

This narration is identical in almost every aspect as one presented to American Legion Post 245, Poulsbo, Washington in 2002/2003. I was a member at the time. Advocating on behalf of Air Force Major Harry Schmidt, information was made available attacking the scope and operation of the military discipline system. Although a resolution was adopted, passed, and published by senior American Legion officials, I came under withering criticism of my assault on the larger operation and workings of the courts-martial system.

Proofs going to the criminal conduct of military governors was laughed at, ridiculed, and dismissively discounted as the imaginings of a disgruntled retiree. Ignored, dishonored and condemned I left the American Legion and haven’t looked back until recent days.

To my core I believe that had Post 245 agitated enough to spur outrage in the higher reaches of the American Legion organization years ago, SSgt. Raymond Girouard might still be in the field this day, a trained Army Ranger doing what he knows how to do best. I advance this petition in the hope that you can succeed where Post 245 failed.

The supreme injury uncovered is that high commanders of America’s professional standing military, as sanctioned and encouraged by the Congress, have discarded the Constitution as inoperative in service to the simultaneous workings of an internal military government altogether foreign to the Constitution.

Placed in competition, an unbounded military government overreaches corrosively, insidiously. It unceasingly eats away at an already debilitated Constitution. The smooth operation of the military government works equally well to throw our constitutional government out of balance. Acts of attainder are as ubiquitous as they’re frightening. Examples go uncounted.

SSgt. Girouard, as others, are innocents. They’re not convicted of anything, yet locked up without the possibility of parole or the protection of a habeas corpus review. The seriousness of the situation magnifies exponentially once the general populace recognizes (hopefully through the instant and aggressive efforts of the American Legion) that every U.S. serviceman locked up in a military tomb is innocent, convicted of nothing.

In America, only a jury can impose sanctions for recognized criminal conduct. Clearly, as no juries are part of the courts-martial process, it is the singular and direct action against our citizens, by one person—the commander in chief—that inflicts martial punishment. Military personnel held in cages today define in every sense, throughout history, the meaning of the phrase “political prisoner.”

Denied the protection of a jury, we leave our military men defenseless against predatory JAGs. Contemporaneously declaring ourselves a nation of laws is a devious and dangerous conceit.

Reasons why federal legislators working hand-to-glove with command racketeers to continue in this illicit business and enlarge its practice are obvious and outside the purpose of this letter.

The commander in chief can do as he pleases to SSgt. Ray Girouard. The CINC needs no underlying criminal act. He needs no evidence. He can as easily reject recommendations sent to him as he can approve them working inside a draconian military government gone unchecked.

One might observe the CINC, federal legislators, military politicians, command racketeers, and JAGs are working above the law. In actual practice they are beyond the reach of law. There are no juries.

What I’m describing here are criminals in command.

It’s noteworthy, for instance, to realize that in the event military thugs aren’t able to strong-arm a man to speak against himself, outlaw JAGs simply find another way. If unable to coerce a confession, command racketeers fast track the process by creating a confession. Military police forces such as the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), or the Army Criminal Investigative Division (CID), or Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) are particularly helpful in these activities.

The ability of America’s servicemen to fight to defend our nation sharply erodes in an inverse geometric relationship to the ascent of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

There is no place on the battlefield for trial lawyers wearing uniforms!!!

Zeller stands as a dark symbol representing the misconduct of thousands of other JAGs.

SSgt. Girouard and his family are as much victims of command racketeers and JAG’s malicious mischief as is your community, and by extension our nation. Make no mistake, the enemy is within. One wonders, for instance, who sits in a military tomb today through the criminal conduct of men like John Bitoff, Tim Zeller, and Kevin Anderson.

Thousands of criminal complaints have been lodged against a battalion of military royalty to no effect. And if you think the low level, punk illicit activity like criminal impersonation (forgery) is of any great significance, I know one former navy JAG who’s ready and proud to brag about his best work.

I’m passed the point of having to tolerate any debate, cross-examination, or apologetics regarding the information reported in these pages and elsewhere. Bitoff, Zeller, and Anderson have incriminated themselves, and the larger courts-martial system through the proof of their own writings. Government documents in plain view speak clearly on their own merits.

The American Legion can and must renew its proud heritage in the fight against corrupt military commanders. The time is arrived for our nation to finally reconcile the Constitution with an alien military regime. Use the examples supplied here to good effect.

Here endth the lesson.

Very respectfully,
/s/

Lieutenant Watada's defense

America's chief executive, wearing his commender-in-chief's suit, is the only person in America authorized by Congress to punish U.S. servicemen.

The courts-martial system, formed in antiquity by king-generals and adopted by our Revolutionary Founders, is designed to whip an armed force into shape competent to fight when the life of America is at stake. Articles of war (named today the Uniform Code of Military Justice) are supposed to be short-lived, and applied to very specific purposes and times. AWs, measured by any standard, are irreconcilable with our Constitution when the country is not threatened with its life, enjoys tranquility, experiences relative peace.

In times of relative peace, the Constitution commands juries of our peers to determine issues of guilt or innocence, and when appropriate, give the state permission to punish regarding all criminal accusations.

However, there are no juries in the exercise of military discipline, again a central reason why AWs should ordinarily last only moments interspersed throughout this country's evolution.

Using the lack of a shared sacrifice as chief evidence that America's combat with modern day enemy forces does not yet threaten to end the United States' form of constitutional government, indulge the notion that the U.S. enjoys a relative state of peace. The free and unconstrained operation of all federal offers yet another example that America is open for business.

So I advance this gentle suggestion that Lieutenant Watada's accusations against America's king-general ought to be inspected by a U.S. jury (as established under Article III), and not the king-general himself (as allowed under Article I only when the United States is in extremis).

Decisions of guilt or innocence or punishment regarding Lt. Watada's circumstance must be determined by an independent peer jury, not the man Lt. Watada accuses. Laconically: "The Decider," is not always allowed to make the decision.

Actually the president doesn't get to decide very much by himself.

In fact the Constitution strictly forbids direct state action carried out by the CINC against a citizen (called attainder) except until barbarians are at our gates.

So, for Lietta Ruger, and those joining her at this weekend's CITIZEN's HEARING in Tacoma, I recommend focusing on the opportunity to petition a federal judge's intervention (injunction) that forcefully bars CINC Bush from all considerations regarding whether Lt. Watada's accusations against the president are meritorious.

This requires moving the Watada case into a federal court (please recall, the federal courts are open), with a real jury. It's as powerful an argument as it's simple.

I'm happy to supply citations upon request. And I've raised up this argument prior. This posting finds its genesis in my conversation with Lietta and David Goldstein Saturday night on Goldy's radio show, and with Lietta again by phone yesterday evening.

Here endth the lesson .

Check six! DOD’s “PRESS Offensive” is begun!

William Langewiesche (Vanity Fair), and more immediately Sarah Olson (Truthout.org) need not be concerned should that day of their courts-martial arrive.

Bob Milstead’s written promise to Mr. Langewiesche that “constitutional principles of due process and the presumption of innocence…are guaranteed in the Uniform Code of Military Justice—apart from Milstead’s bombastic, propagandistic dissembling—is not relevant.

Ms. Olson and Mr. Langewiesche can simply choose not to attend should military authorities assemble courts-martial in their honor. Maybe one or some of their colleagues might want to report on the events should they come to pass, if for no other purpose than their entertainment value.

I’m hopeful both reporters, supported by employers, will aggressively fight “subpoenas” threatening martial discipline should either journalist fail to obey their “orders.” Ms. Olson was served last Thursday morning. Mr. Langewiesche’s service is predicted in the next few weeks, soon after charges are filed against any of the Haditha Marines.

A foreseeable exercise of newly developed muscle under an amended UCMJ, by military royalty in a test of their days-old authority comes about by bringing court-martial charges for something, anything, against another reporter—any reporter—at any moment. For those dismissively waving away this clear warning, please consider the commander-in-chief signed off on expanded UCMJ authority over embedded media on 13 October this year. Ms. Olson was served last week on 13 December.

Students of trend analysis take note.

The Defense Department’s “PRESS Offensive” is in its earliest stages. Opening shots were fired against a front that so far as I can tell is weakly defended, if defended at all.

Luckily for Olson and Langewiesche a defensive perimeter is easily and quickly constructed. Olson and Langewiesche are immune from martial command and punishment. UCMJ “punitive articles” are harmless for people not working for the armed forces. Ms. Olson, a civilian, is not obliged to carry out orders issued by military governors. The civilian legal term subpoena is as meaningless in the world of martial discipline as it’s unenforceable.

Embedded journalists, on the other hand, have reason to be terribly worried.

Watch out for 13 January 2007.

No question remains regarding DOD’s attack on the press now underway. Gone begging is the grander question, whether the enemy is to be engaged at all? Will media professionals—no matter what stripe—mount a coordinated counteroffensive against “situational constitutionalists” on two fronts? The first thrust to arrest the expansive spread of military attainder; the other to efface the practice altogether.

(Note: Bob Milstead’s letter to William Langewiesche, by way of the editor, appears in the January 2007 issue of Vanity Fair, page 30. Reporter Nicholas Gage writes separately in the same issue regarding the dismemberment of “November 17,” the terrorist group that murdered Navy Captain William Nordeen, see page 68).

Here endth the lesson.

“Just Followin’ Orders” - The Commander in Chief’s Gestapo

One Officer’s Counter-attack

I ACCUSE!

It should be required that America’s chief executive wears a military uniform when acting in his role as commander in chief. The uniform would be a certain reminder that our armed forces are perpetually under the CINCs command and subject to his orders. It would signal to Americans the CINC is a functioning commander responsible and accountable to the American people for his own actions as well as the actions of all subordinates.

In all ways and in every place military personnel are subservient and obedient to the CINCs signed orders issued from the White House, not the Pentagon.

That includes all courts-martial orders.

As chief disciplinarian the CINC operates secret police forces internal to the Defense Department and each of the services:

• Defense Department: Defense Criminal Investigative Service under the aegis of the DOD Inspector General.

• ARMY: Criminal Investigative Service

• NAVY/MARINE CORPS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service

• COAST GUARD: Coast Guard Investigative Service

• AIR FORCE: Office of Special Investigations

John Lehman, former Navy secretary, in describing the NCIS as an “Admiral’s Gestapo,” collaterally describes the group of agencies as the “CINCs Gestapo.”

In his book, Fall From Glory (1997) author Greg Vistica rang alarm bells about an arrogance of senior officers that results in the “flagrant bending of rules and regulations to an art form,” quoting a former Navy Top Gun CO. Putting the sentiment into his own words Vistica wrote “it is not surprising, then too, that a byproduct of this attitude was the breakdown of honesty and integrity within the officer ranks, especially at the more senior levels. Intentionally ignoring misdeeds and rule-bending became almost as ingrained as the morning reveille. In the starkest terms, moral corruption had taken hold of the system. It was barely noticeable to outside observers, however, cloaked by the renewed patriotism that swept the country…”

In a December 2006 AP interview, John Hutson named that superlative military crime as officers who turn against their men.. Hutson said “officers play an integral role in the way crimes are reported and how military justice is handled. [Hutson] said if the [Marine] officers in they did fail to properly investigate the deaths [in Haditha], their failures were more enduring ‘than these [Marines] who allegedly murdered people.’” (My emphasis)

Neither Vistica nor Hutson adequately captures the true scope and operation of the institutional crime racket under the CINCs authority that has become today’s military establishment. While I suspect military authors and correspondents like Vistica intuit more than they report regarding the hidebound and deep seeded martial criminal enterprise, men like John Hutson and CINC Bush are willful outlaws.

However hard it is to know to any degree an accurate measure the enormity of the political-military outlawry, I know this much...past and present CINCs and their sycophants are cheap, cowardly felonious punks who raped my name.

Now they’re trying to do it to my comrades, to my band of brothers.

NOT ON MY WATCH!!

My duty here is moral and ethical. I’m duty-bound to report to the people the commander in chief’s extant criminal conduct in this federal complaint renewing and advancing each one prior. The CINC is an active participant in a wide-ranging criminal business rendering him incompetent in all command functions.

He must be relieved of command instantly to stop him from acting against others.

I hold standing in this report. So do the American people who possess the power to punish the CINC and his sycophants to hold them to account for what’s here and elsewhere revealed as the most serious camouflaged-colored crime rampage our nation has ever experienced.

I demand the commander in chief be stripped of command.

I demand a company of military bluebloods and politicians go to prison.

This is personal!

Beware the Fury of the Patient Man!!

Hutson, one-time Navy Judge Advocate General (1997 – 2000) and retired two-star rear admiral, calls to mind an account once told to me about a famous painting suspected counterfeit.

Auction house caretakers making ready for sale a painting come into their possession, alerted the artwork might be a forged reproduction, retained the services of a renowned artist and art historian to settle the question. The subject matter expert declared the painting a true original and was paid handsomely.

The surprising twist in the tale comes about as the art critic disappears just after the oil work brings down a tidy sum at auction and is revealed a fake. The art auctioneers had unwittingly selected the very scamp, by now a wealthy man on the lamb, to certify his own forgery, giving the talented artificer ample warning to evade capture.

CINC Bush, RADM Hutson, and men like them, using the very same scam, have perpetrated the greatest fraud upon the American people ever. On the backs of our armed forces, wealthy and powerful people have built what author James Carroll describes a “WAR HOUSE.”

Carroll almost gets it right. In reality military governors have constructed for themselves a temple, tasked to a JAG priesthood to oversee, operate, and manage. Ensuring the priests and acolytes are kept in line (and kept busy) military royalty have established a modern day Praetorian guard.

I describe here for the reader the collected group of judge advocate generals and their service-centric private police/detective forces: CID, NCIS, CGIS, AFOSI, DCIS, and DODIG.

Punishment parades intending lengthy incarceration in military catacombs for honorable men like Staff Sergeant Raymond Girouard (Army Ranger) and Marine Lt. Phan trigger this flame-thrower invective.

I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more!

This is personal!

In recent days three enlisted Marines submitted sworn affidavits attacking NCIS agents for falsifying investigation reports emanating from combat operations in Iraq. A hearing assembled to review those allegations was abruptly and unexpectedly interrupted to order Lance Corporal Andrew Kraus to stop speaking.

Assigned the duty as impartial hearing officer, Lieutenant Colonel William Pigott ordered Lcpl. Krause to cease sworn testimony against the NCIS agents. Lt. Col. Pigott agreed with a Marine JAG to read Krause his rights against self-incrimination for perjury. After, Pigott ordered Krause out of the hearing room.

Pigott, forfeiting his authority as an impartial fact finder, declared openly NCIS agents would not lie. One observant and courageous defense attorney, David Sheldon, objected to Pigott’s assertion and intimidation giving voice to what everyone was thinking, “Someone is lying and we have to find out who.”

Well…it’s the NCIS agents who are lying.

The Marines are telling the truth.

And the “impartial” hearing officer Pigott is shilling for the NCIS. Here’s how Counselor Sheldon put it:

“…I am deeply concerned about your repeated statements regarding the credibility of witnesses and the validity of the charges on and off the record prior to hearing all of the evidence or commencing your deliberations. Your comments that you will use your personal experiences and beliefs with respect to operations in Iraq as a bellwether for what is and isn’t legal and what is or isn’t credible in the present case, and your representation that you intend to use your personal past experiences and relationships with NCIS and its agents, are equally disturbing. In my 16 years of practice, I have never seen an investigating officer or military judge ever prevent a counsel from making a record as you did just prior to the close of the hearing. Your actions clearly violated [Lieutenant] Phan’s rights to a fair and impartial hearing and were an attempt by you to play to the media in order to put the Marine Corps and NCIS in the best possible light. Moreover, your obstreperous, condescending (to include your loud exaggerated sights and eye rolling) behavior and repeated derogatory comments to Lt. Col. Cord during his closing comments were offensive and without precedence. In sum, you paid lib service to Lt. Phan’s right to a full, fair and impartial Article 32 hearing.”

Supporting facts are in plain sight.

Special Agent (S/A) Mike Austin confirmed in sworn testimony S/A Aaron Bode (Austin’s partner) falsely accused Marine Sergeant Lawrence Hutchins in a worthless NCIS report. S/A Bode conveniently evaded direct examination regarding his criminal conduct.

NCIS handlers sent Bode away to Australia.

NCIS agents have manufactured inculpatory “evidence” through coercion while Marine JAGs simultaneously, wantonly and publicly destroyed exculpatory evidence.

Special Agents Ernie Simon and James Connolly, intimately enmeshed in the work of Bode and Austin, are presently identified and reported outlaws. More on these two Gestapo goons—Connolly and Simon—in a moment.

In dismissive and disparaging remarks to the press pointing to these Marines and Counselor Sheldon, Ed Bucie—NCIS spokesman—decried in to the press, “It’s a commonly used tactic of defense attorneys when you can’t attack the facts, you attack the fact finders.”

Bucie is banking his posture on the hope no one will remember what I’m about to remind you. Bucie is like the miscreant artificer who gives sanction to his own criminal conduct.

(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:

• 1983: NCIS agents set up Marine Lance Corporal Lindsey Scott for a stabbing assault at Quantico. NCIS agents manufactured evidence that put Lcpl. Scott in a military cave for four years before he was acquitted. The epithet Naval Insinuative Service was coined in the day.

• 1985: NCIS agents ignored local Australian press reports of a “nautical hit-and-run” incident involving Navy Captain William Terry. A civilian boater died in what was later viewed as possible manslaughter.

• 1989: In the investigation of the turret #2 explosion aboard USS IOWA NCIS clown detectives represented to the American people, essentially, they proved Petty Officer Clayton Hartwig successfully committed suicide using a bow and arrow. NCIS Gestapo agents raped another man’s name and reputation along the way.

• 1991: Then headed by a Navy two-star admiral, NCIS agents deliberately steered the criminal investigation into the annual Las Vegas bacchanal know as the “Tail Hook” convention away from looking at participating admirals, generals, and senior civilian military governors.

• 1992: An innocent Marine Lance Corporal Kevin Holt deteriorates in prison as the result of an incompetent NCIS/Marine JAG investigation and court-martial. Lcpl. Holt’s conviction is easily disturbed and overturned by DNA evidence withheld without explanation for years. Repeated requests have been rebuffed. Evidence was manipulated, manufactured, and compromised.

• 3 March 2005: S/A James H. Connolly led a team of four armed agents in a surprise deployment around a private residence in Bremerton, WA. Connolly and company (three of the agents refused to identify themselves) delivered a criminal writing (signed by NCIS IG Beyer) and verbal threats of physical harm. Connolly and his team were named in a complaint filed with the FBI the next day.

• 2006: Resident Puget Sound Federal Bureau of Investigation agents received a criminal complaint against S/A Mark Young reporting outlaw investigative practices and procedures. NCIS agents falsified an investigation report and manufactured evidence in the case of James Praefke.

• 2 February 2007: Naval Criminal Investigative Service spokesman Ed Buice, said the agency has decided not to open a criminal investigation into allegations about Guantanamo guards. Bucie said the complaint was referred to the NCIS but officials there saw no reason to open their own investigation. Guantanamo, “GITMO,” is a Naval Station, populated by hundreds of Sailors and Marines

• Maintains secret the details of uncounted mysterious or unattended sea-service deaths.

• Even in the absence of evidence, NCIS investigations take on lives of their own, and are nearly impossible to stop (although it helps if you’re a admiral or general). NCIS tactics are described as predatory.

• In its organizational history, the NCIS has delivered not a single flag officer to courts-martial. Not one Navy admiral, not one Marine general. My collected list of flag officers who should have faced courts-martial is long, made longer still by readers in this audience who have many of their own experiences to draw upon.

• NCIS agents prey upon junior enlisted and officer Marines as “low-hanging fruit.” NCIS agents exploit the unique Marine culture and command relationships to coerce incompetent confessions in attempts to up their “body count.” (Lt. Pantano, Lt. Phan, The Pendleton Eight (Hamdania), The Haditha Marines, Lcpl. Kevin Holt, Corporal Arnold Bracy, Cpl. Robert Williams, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, Sgt. Mary Kile, and Marine Corps “Tail Hook” aviators)

• Former Navy Secretary John Lehman (himself three times an NCIS target) described the NCIS as an “Admiral’s Gestapo,” (renamed above for this article so as to cement proper accountability regarding the scope and operation of all the secret military police forces).

• A Navy Vice-Admiral (3-star) once blurted out loud “…if I wanted to get rid of my competition, all I had to do was stay up all night and make a bunch of anonymous phone calls. SECNAV Lehman turned the NCIS on Admiral (4-star) Hymen Rickover in a in a move to oust the old man from the sea. The tactic worked. Rickover was awarded a parting gift upon forced retirement in the form of a letter of censure based upon NCIS work product. True story, one doesn’t make these things up.

• Jonathan Pollard, an NCIS analyst at the time, was arrested in 1985 in a rather public embarrassment for sliding national secrets under the door to Israel. Aside from Pollard, and despite the overwhelming record of criminal conduct, no other NCIS agent is known to have been arrested, never mind prosecuted for a crime. In reality, there is no one who will (or maybe it’s there’s nobody who can) arrest an NCIS agent. Meanwhile, no other secret military police force has come under such withering, sustained, unceasing and blazing attack.

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.

Jack has no use for any of his senses save one. Jack has no ears. He has a mouth but cannot speak for himself. The voice you hear belongs to someone else, unseen, and anonymous off-camera. Jack has a nose that can’t smell a thing, it only points at you. Patches replace eyes; Jack is blind to his surroundings...oh, and he wears a goofy clown hat.

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, 1^st Marine Division, 5^th 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!
