    If you are a regular reader of The Jerusalem Post you would have learned on December 1 that the top officer for all U.S. Navy operations in the Middle East, Vice Admiral Scott Stearney, had been found dead in his home in Bahrain. The Reuters wire story that The Jerusalem Post was simply passing on...
  • Looked up the Admiral’s bio. He’s not an Annapolis grad (Notre Dame, econ major) yet he made Admiral. Very difficult.
    Naval aviator. 4,500 hours no mishaps. More than 1,000 carrier-arrested landings. This guy was quite skilled.

  • @David Martin
    I have been alerted to the fact that the Google search for “Scott Stearney Washington Post” turns up the following URL:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/alaska-buildings-were-prepared-to-withstand-quake/2018/12/01/452ce24e-f5aa-11e8-bc79-68604ed88993_story.html?utm_term=.c13ad75b95e3. The headline article there is “Alaska buildings were prepared to withstand quake.” It is under the National news roundup category, though, and if you scroll down you find the following short item:

    "Senior U.S. admiral found dead in Bahrain: The admiral overseeing U.S. naval forces in the Middle East was found dead at his residence in Bahrain, the Navy said Saturday, adding that foul play was not suspected. Vice Adm. Scott Stearney was commander of the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. The Navy did not specify the cause of death."

    The thrust of the article is hardly changed by this discovery. This is just that first very sketchy report, and it’s pretty well buried away. If The Post were not, in effect, hiding this story from the public a search using those terms would generate a number of hits, and one would think that at least one of them would be a prominent article.

    The foregoing three paragraphs now constitute an addendum to the original article.

    You “have been alerted to the fact?” That a Google search on …
    Did you do/try it yourself?
    I didn’t read past your first line.
    I alert you to the fact that you sound like a fraud.

  • @wayfarer

    Can’t find any info about his children. Care to share ?
     
    His stoic sons all had rare genetics, enabling them to fearlessly face mother nature on her terms of indifference, as they would consistently surf and survive, some of our planet's meanest and most unforgiving waves.

    .....

    Surfing ? Really..?

    I was actually seeking some further information on your earlier statements here:

    Sad stuff happened to some of their children, that was eerily unexplainable.

    Always had a sense that dark geopolitical forces were responsible for the progeny’s untimely fates.

    Or did you, for some reason, purposely misunderstand ?

  • @anon
    The guy was eliminated because he passed on information about US (CIA)-Saudi financing of terror groups in the ME (Syria) to a female "journalist" who also just happened to have been recently eliminated in a car "accident". Enraged elements of the CIA blame this revelation as a contributing factor in Trump's pull-out of their Syria project, so efforts were undertaken to prevent further damaging leaks. Meanwhile, they've convinced Trump to slow down the withdrawal with the ultimate aim of reversing it.

    Do you have any sources for that?

  • @jacques sheete
    Thank you Sir!

    I actually just finished reading that excellent piece and was led to it, indirectly, after Jonathan Revusky mentioned the link to the website. I wonder how long it will take to understand the particular links in the present case to such things as this... :


    Seasoned Assassins

    At critical moments in U.S. relations with the Arab world and Israel there has invariably been some one person who has seen the problem in full perspective, bestirred himself, and attempted to tell the story to the American public. Equally invariably, like the wolf at the head of the pack, he has been forthrightly shot down, his pen or voice stilled, and the gaping vacuum once more becomes apparent.
    (Alfred M. Lilienthal, op. cit.


     

    Was Stearney about to bestir himself and spill the beans on something?

    Was Stearney about to bestir himself and spill the beans on something?

    Maybe he was open to blackmail? Maybe he was informed that there would be an “Event”, involving his 5th Fleet in the Persian Gulf – and he should prepare to attack Iran?

    Could be that he was facing impossible choices.

    At critical moments in U.S. relations with the Arab world and Israel there has invariably been some one person who has seen the problem in full perspective, bestirred himself, and attempted to tell the story to the American public. Equally invariably, like the wolf at the head of the pack, he has been forthrightly shot down, his pen or voice stilled, and the gaping vacuum once more becomes apparent.
    (Alfred M. Lilienthal, op. cit.


     

    Was Stearney about to bestir himself and spill the beans on something?

    “Was Stearney about to bestir himself and spill the beans on something?” Do you really expect an answer to that?

    Oops, my bad. On briefly checking I also can find no reference to Roosevelt officially visiting Germany in the ’30’s at this time. Sorry for that.

    On further checking it seems that the German autobahn system actually pre-dates Hitler, he just greatly expanded the idea, then Eisenhower was stationed in Germany during WW2 and was impressed with what he saw and expanded the same idea in the US – an idea that was already “blossoming”, having itself started in a small way in the US as far back as 1925,[ if not earlier].

    The US Interstate highway system, although built in 1956, had its origins in the 1930's, when the crook Roosevelt visited the crook Hitler in Germany and was impressed by the said crooks autobahn system and decided to model a US system on Hitler's own criminal road system.

    The the official excuse for the US system at the time was the need for a way of for the rapid ground transport of heavy military equipment from coast to coast.

    The highways were thus initially built to military specs, with curves, cambers and gradients that were deemed suitable for the transport of heavy military equipment, such as tanks on tank transporters.

    Of course there was no constitutional provision for such a system, but even by the 1930's, as Mencken observed at the time, the constitution was a dead letter.

    Really? Do you have a source for this? My understanding is that FDR visited Germany with his family in the 1890s while the future president (b. 1882) was still a child.

    His Wikipedia article notes that he attended school in Germany as a youth, but I know of no visit to Germany in the 1930s by FDR, and Wikipedia doesn’t mention one either.

    Frequent trips to Europe—he made his first excursion at the age of two and went with his parents every year from the ages of seven to fifteen—helped Roosevelt become conversant in German and French. At age nine he attended public school in Germany.

    The usual story is that Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower saw the German autobahns in the immediate post-war period in his capacity as Supreme Allied Commander, and decided similar highways were needed in the United States to facilitate the movement of military units and equipment in the event of an attack on the United States.

    Occam’s Razor IMO is hard to exclude here.
    [...]
    Where is it? A photo of 2 entrance holes on Boorda’s chest would be nice.,
     
    If parsimony rules, then it shouldn't take you 1900 words of (entirely unconvincing) special pleading to try to make your case.

    You are not even a veteran yet you seem to have great passion about this relatively minor issue of service ribbon devices, and seem to think as well that you have unique insights about the case from your perspective as a civilian contractor.

    Get real. There is absolutely no evidence that Boorda was depressed or experiencing great shame or any shame at all because of one or two relatively minor transgressions with his fruit salad that he had corrected already a year earlier.

    My own fruit salad earned in two tours of duty with the USAF during the Vietnam era includes service ribbons for good conduct, longevity, national defense, and expert small arms marksmanship. However...


    This ribbon was authorized by the Secretary of the Air Force on Aug. 28, 1962. It is awarded to all Air Force service members who, after Jan. 1, 1963, qualify as "expert" in small-arms marksmanship with either the M-16 rifle or issue handgun.


    CRITERIA Qualify as expert in small-arms marksmanship with either the M-16 rifle or issue handgun.
     
    Well, the thing is, the M-16 wasn't available in appreciable numbers for the Air Force until about 1970. In 1964, I qualified during basic training with the M-14. In 1970, I qualified as expert again, this time with the M-16.

    Was I authorized to wear the expert marksmanship ribbon on my dress blues from 1964 to 1970? My DI at Lackland AFB said I was, and so I did.

    Similarly, after my overseas office was awarded the Outstanding Section Award, our NCOIC told us we were henceforth authorized to wear the Outstanding Unit Award service ribbon. Typically, there are various so-called "barracks lawyers" who dispense advice good and bad that arises from casual, non-official interpretations of various orders and/or regulations, some oral, which may be unclear or ambiguous.

    Meanwhile, for reasons known only to itself, the Navy has not released the results of Adm. Boorda's autopsy, perhaps (not really) to cover up innumeracy among Navy corpsmen, as you suggest, but more plausibly to conceal the nature and number of Adm. Boorda's wounds.

    Since you’re being hostile , Look here ping r man. I had to go into 2 long post posts to disassemble your link of the “‘you know what” theory which was connected to a couple other sources of “you know what” theory. Glad I noted I figured I was prolly wasting my time on you and your link and didn’t go into finding old source citations, cleaning in up and making it concise would have wasted a hour or two.

    Now as other people have noted Adm. Boorda’s two V’s in question are/were considered combat awards, so wearing those unauthorized is far more serious than you wearing, say an unauthorized Penmanship Award in the Air Force. I guess it would do no good to bother to explain to you what other servicemen/veterans think of anyone wearing unauthorized combat awards , but that was the dilemma Boorda was facing if/when Hackett went public with it. Occam’s razor in this case = Suicide Solution.

    I guess you missed all the clues in all my “parsimony” 😉 about being a Veteran myself . I talked more of being a contractor for the USN , because in reality at the time Boorda was my “commander’ given the articles I signed particular to my position and the ship I was on. Anywhoo years before all that , I, shot, drove and slept on and banged on TANKS for 5 years active in the Army(was fun) and 3 in the National Guard which I count about about like Air force service (apologies to all Guard and AF dudes here).

    Now I’ll waste a paragraph LOL going into some yadaa yadda biggus dickus vet contest you seem to want , I got six hangers on my Army Expert Marksmanship badge(you can only hang 3 ) and I’ll guess 14 dinky medals (with orders, 2 without) and 3-4 other ribbons, and IDK on unit citations because who counts them? And the government considers me a veteran of two wars (we won both, hint) but I never fired a shot and dang sure would not call myself a combat vet, but the dam government did put me in a “war zone” for 45-50? days, so whatever they label me a war vet.

    Dang You got me posting too long , wont happen again with you , Have a nice day, regards

    The internet thingy was not a government project, merely the initial network technology: which btw piggybacked off the phone system: a privately developed technology.
    The Internet Highway system, implemented by an ex CEO of General motors was the corrupt use of tax payer dollars to kill off the existing railway system.
    You would benefit from listening to
    https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-310-rise-of-the-oiligarchs/

    Airports, hospitals, fire departments all existed prior to their usurpation by the State: the latter by the way still are the predominant providers, most fireman in the US are volunteers.
    I have my own water and sewage systems.

    As to the "V medal" thing. Yes of course Boorda was not thrown out for the V's . And no, in and of itself , any sailor or service "person" wearing unauthorized devices , as you might know from being a military veteran of some sort , might well be just chewed out or they might might face UCMJ action which depending on their commanders, and what else they might have been accumulated from being wrote up and earlier UCMJ's can lead to a discharge . Sorta like the "3 strikes law" but in the military a '"sailor" might get away , get busted numerous times or maybe just once and boom out the door, In the Army , the 3rd counseling statement was usually the line for UCMJ action , but it is all situational, command dependent and luck too IMO.

    As to being able to site a person's name now or specific acts 2o+ years after the fact? I am sorry I can't, and honestly am wary as of yet if this is a action to dismiss what I am saying . All I can say is yes I do recall an incident mentioned in the 'Navy Times" about a "problem" sailor being caught for unauthorized wear of something om Guam I do not recall. And that sailor being "chaptered out" for it . Can I recall his name or a periodical number date or page?, nope. Can I recall in what function this would have passed across Boorda's desk or his position at the time?, Nope, But I remember that instance happening because it was a glaring example of hypocrisy on Boorda's part , given the timing and attention of all this stuff I had at time. As I noted I was greatly interested in Boorda , his suicide and that whole Hackett medal incident , so such a minor event , I noted it because it was a concrete black mark , that simply could not be dismissed, though it was never noted/connected publicly in anything. IIRC!,, maybe Hackett mentioned something to this effect, It has been a long time , and sadly my memory of 20-25 year old details, snippets and ect.'s, is not up to MLA- Turabian footnote standards.

    But it doesn't matter , if you think a General Officer of the O-9 rank with 40 years of service as a commanding officer or a reviewing/board officer never once wrote up ,or signed off , on a UCMJ action of a lower rank service member for uniform violations which either directly or indirectly contributed to that lower service member being dismissed. Or as CNO of the entire Navy never wrote , reviewed on signed off on the various and numerous SOPS issued about making 'paper" on uniform violations , just believe what I said is bull. Firsthand, I saw cases while in the army done by far lower rank officers numerous times. As well I read of the incident I mentioned and others, in passing, taking place in the Navy while I was working as a USN/USMC civilian contractor.

    Anyway , Boorda , by wearing those V and then by action admitting guilt by removing them , and going on for years , do you think that might not have "ate' at him inside . Anyone with a shred of honor it would have . And yes , I do remember reading Zumwalt's "expost facto "
    damage control opinion and even the general Navy's opinion of such V's even before Boorda's suicide and long before Zumwalt announced publicly about Boorda being "authorized" to wear them, since those V's basically were a "gimme" on Navy Bronze stars in Vietnam for officers in similar positions to Boorda at the time.

    Doesn't matter , on paper , or rather the lack of paper called Orders which give you the authorization to wear such things, Boorda walked around for a while being what is known as a PX Warrior. He did not have paper for them, therefor he did not have them , and he wore them anyway.

    And , IMO it is of real note he took them off , and at the same time he was the top guy and obviously is supposed to "set the example" for the entire Navy and Corps. And then for whatever personal reason he removed them, but he was photographed wearing them and then later here comes Hackworth , with his reputation for exposing such stuff to the US public . Yep , I can see that as quite possibly causing intense internal conflict and stress and guilt in a man such as Boorda, even if everyone one around him according to that site's 3rd person ? hearsay"statements that said they were "surprised" at his suicide , well? No Duh. It happens in a lot of suicide cases. And this happy and "looking forward" to retirement ? Yes , alot of servicemen (PC police here I am) look at getting out of the military as a happy day, but it as well brings stress, uncertainty, fear, and depression to many that they will be "out of job" or more actually out of something they LOVED to do all their life and now it will be gone . It happens. There is also, from what I heard/read in the army, in the case of 30+plus years military retirees, "most" or "more than half" don't live 5 years after they retire . In the Army , I heard even half of 20 years retirees don't last 5 years.
    I don't know if that is statistically true , but it has a ring to it, and that "die 5 years after retiring"did scare a lot of the dudes I knew with Vietnam combat patches back in the 80's like my grizzled platoon and First sergeants as they approached retirement. Midlife crisis on top of it all as well

    In Boorda's case , I looked at his position, his past, and the numerous SEVERE stress factors hitting him all at once as being a "perfect storm" that led to his suicide . Junk was coming at him from many directions even from inside himself.

    Occam's Razor IMO is hard to exclude here. trading Boorda's suicide for a Chem trail "conspiracy" whoops, or a top secret murderous homosexual general officer's club, or all gay Navy pilots association, or some statement/claims given of a now dead supposed IDK? Marine "secret agent " by his WIFE , to an internet misinformation agent(Military Corruption's Glen M- though you can find "pieces of truth there , if you know what is missing LOL) just does not cut it , without a lot of "first-hand" refuting evidence . Where is it? A photo of 2 entrance holes on Boorda's chest would be nice.,

    You are pulling from an article at the American Chronicle by Tony Bonn, Now that, like this UNZ article I think is pulling from the same place Military Corruption. The article here at UNZ it is fair to guess gets its basis for the Sterney side athttp://militarycorruption.com/usn/stearney-scott/.

    now I am sure Glen McDonald (editor of Mil Corruption) has an article (or several) about his Boorda theories , which might explain the aside mention in the article here of Booda's suicide and this current death (which I don't if it was a suicide or murder ) either way two deaths does not a link make by themselves.

    Please note , I will only go as far as I can be certain of , to do justice to discussing the myriads details involved would demand literally days to reconstruct the chain of events, timing of both the V scandal and as well the details of the days of Boorda's suicide. I spent those days 20+ years ago , and won't spend that much time going back just to bury Glem McDonald's "conspiracy theories" that are based on what the wife of another guy who had he own "conspiracy theories" about Boorda's death and the whole he was murdered because he" Boorda" got in the way of some

    " She states that it is nearly impossible to rise to colonel / commander or above without participating in the gay sex rituals which dominate the upper reaches of the US Navy."

    because Tailhook was not about some dyke being offended at being grouped at the yearly carrier's pilots frat party/drinking binge/orgy in Las Vegas. Why would a Dyke go to a party with hundreds of druink navy officer's except to start a big pro-LBGT (anti-whitew anti male destroy the navy PC scandal

    But instead tainhook was about a "secret group of Filed Grade homosexuals in the Navy LOL

    Realize Glen McDonald is a disinformation agent. He does include alot of truth in some of his stuff , but then he throws in weird shit like that. That actually covers up what Tailhook was about (Some Dyke wanting to disgrace all them TOP-GUN Navy Alpha MALE all-American women-banging captian American/Tom Cruise /types that are carrier pilots. Ever meet them? They ain't homo's

    So Glen McDonald, in this case is pushing misinformation about some bogus homo ring killing Boorda to cover themselves rather than the actual lesbian busting up the Navy Carrier officer clique and their "famous " party they threw every year.

    He (Glen McDonaldld ) did the same thing when it came with the USS Fitzgerald collision, using "bull" instead of looking at the actual cause, An incompetent white female at odds with an incompetent black female with an inc ompetent black male 'harassing her"(and probably banging one or both IDK-demands more research, all three present on the bridge that night, and none of them doing or able to do their jobs. Mc Donald ignored and certainly didn't mention the racial and sexual aspects that lead to that collusion , I wrote him and called him out on it.

    But i digress, Back to the article you site - or he Boorda was killed becuase he was going to expose the "Chemtrails" thing which I still don't fathom what chemtrails is about , or he was going to expose the "scandal"of the Clinton admin/ the Navy/US giving guns to Bosnian Moslems( some "scandal" as it was publicly known at the time)

    That article you site and its parent just throws alot of "mud" and hopes something sticks

    Anyway the article you site and its parent article make several reaching assumptions and insertions of misinformation if you didn't notice them.

    A couple other things here; notice the use of 2 "bullet holes". The things is ,an entrance wound and an exit wound could be counted as "two" "bullet" "holes" , So that line is not any absolute proof but Tony Bonn and Glen McDonald (hate he has the same last name as the great Occident Quarterly publisher) treat it that way ) run with that as if it is, and please note that info to begin with is "hearsay" 2 places removed. , And the homo tailhook reason is like 3 places hearsay. would (now) alot of research just to go back through all that garbage mix with truth to separate and compare with other POV's to really understand this stuff , far more than this blog reply I am doing now.

    continued- I am scared to lose a longer post -I apologize for the messy post and lack of edit given how posting edit works here, typing is difficult and a slow operation for me in this first place, and maintaining attention/being clear is an issue with me as well . hands disabled/don't work well , in pain, on a lot of meds, such is my life

    The strangest and maybe one of the most revealing murders just happened recently without, as far as I can tell, any media investigation at all. None.

    This was the recent death Boston crime lord and longtime FBI informant Whitey Bulger who seems to have been recently transferred to a regular prison after residing for years in a heavily protected, "safe" prison environment that had been specifically designed for government snitches like him and ex- Mafia member informants. Within just a few hours of his coming to this new prison, he was murdered while sitting in his wheelchair. Very little has been revealed about this mysterious death.

    How was this transfer to a regular prison population allowed considering Bulger's considerable notoriety and the knowledge of what fellow prisoners do to "snitches"? How did his murderers learn so quickly about his new presence? Was anyone punished for proposing and then allowing this very dangerous transfer to a general prison population to occur? No one seems to know.

    Bulger has a very curious connection to present day events. Boston based Bulger was informing to the FBI for many years about his fellow east coast gangsters, both Irish and Italian. At least part of this time, he was working under the supervision of none other than Trump arch-enemy Robert Mueller. Mueller was working for the US Attorney for the District of Massachusets (1986-1987) where he would have at least have known about Bulger's status as an informant. This knowledge would have only increased while Mueller was US Assistant Attorney general for the Criminal Division from 1990-1993. One thing definitely stands out. Mueller knew Bulger and Bulger knew (possibly a lot) about Mueller.

    There is a rumor floating around that while Bulger was an informant, the FBI (and maybe Mueller) conveniently overlooked at least three murders he committed to protect his identity. . There is another rumor out there that three innocent men were sent to prison by the FBI specifically to cover up crimes committed by Bulger. Did these coverups occur under Mueller's watch?

    Consider this timeline: Republican Mueller loses his post at the Criminal Division in 1993 after having been replaced by a Democrat appointee of the new Bill Clinton regime at the Criminal Division. This new Democrat Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, either ignoring (maybe not even knowing about Bulger's previous privileged status as an informant) starts to go after Bulger. Bulger then suddenly goes on the lam in 1994 after having been conveniently informed about his upcoming arrest. There is the curious question about who exactly informed Bulger about this upcoming arrest. A patsy was conveniently found to take the blame but for doing this but was it actually him or did the information about the upcoming arrest given to Bulger come from much higher up?

    Bulger then flees to Santa Monica, California where he resides in apparent peace and prosperity for the next sixteen years despite having his name and face plastered all over the FBI's ten most wanted list and after apparently not having had received any plastic surgery to disguise his appearance. Didn't the Santa Monica police during this period ever look at the FBI's ten most wanted list. If they would have, they might have noticed their neighbor Bulger's face on it a wee bit sooner. It's as if Bulger had suddenly become invisible in Santa Monica. Was, however, this invisibility merely by chance?

    Bulger's whereabouts were then apparently (and possibly deliberately) forgotten during the George W. Bush regime 2000-2008.

    Then under the new Obama regime, the hunt for Bulger is finally remembered and it begins afresh. An extensive effort begins to locate Bulger. This search is finally successful in 2011. Bulger is captured and put on trial and found guilty of many crimes including multiple murders.

    You can bet that Bulger, after being convicted, was then more than happy to reveal to his Obama Democrat prosecution team all sort of revealing things about his illegal work for previous Republican administrations. This was done so that he could guarantee that his life sentence could be served in semi-pleasant (i.e. safe) and maybe even a country club-like setting (you know, just like where Jonathan Pollard and Bernie Madoff ended up).

    Just a short time ago, this agreement was suddenly put aside by people who are unknown and he was deliberately set up to die. He simply knew too much to be kept alive. He had outlived his usefulness and now only was a potential threat.

    Addendum: How the MSM explains (excuses) how Bulger was never recognized for the sixteen years he was on the loose.

    This level of obfuscation – with a full piece in Psychology Today – itself screams “Deep State.”

    Ironically, Mueller himself now finds himself in much the same position as his former partner in crime Whitey Bulger – he knows far too much for many people’s comfort, especially the Clintons.

    Mueller would probably not survive very long if the Clintons regain a measure of power under a Democratic administration.

    But despite departments’ efforts to hire mentally healthy candidates, enlisted officers still kill themselves at the same rate as the general population. In 2016, 108 cops across the country took their own lives, according to Badge of Life, a nonprofit organization that tracks police suicides; according to a 2018 study from the Ruderman Family Foundation, the number of police officers who died by suicide was more than triple that of officers who were fatally shot in the line of duty.

  • @Counterinsurgency
    I've worked with them. They aren't superhuman. An aide failing to get the display right might well never be noticed by a busy and somewhat political military executive. Servant problem, don't you know, and much else on his/her mind. Admiral might get a ding for not providing a good example to the troops, but only if he or she was in temporary political disgrace.

    Heck, I remember one of Admiral that made it a practice to close the door to her office when the office Marine played the Marine Hymn - weakening the social structure and morale of the office she worked in and the organization that it was part of.

    The thing to remember about elites is that they serve in an organization staffed by non-elites who are not super-geniuses. This means that the elites can't be super-geniuses either - try putting a 150 IQ topologist in command and see what happens.
    Nor can the elite be near obsessive-compulsives who check every detail every time. The micro-managers get weeded out and sometime relieved for cause when commanding ships and the like.

    Everybody would like elites to be demigods. Heaven and Hell are both absolute dictatorships, and everybody wants to go to a secular Heaven, run by the equivalent of God. Beautiful wish, but it doesn't happen. God isn't manifest on earth as a senior manager, it seems. Managers are just specialized workers, no more, no less. They know their business and not necessarily any more. Did you really expect anything else to be true?

    Counterinsurgency

    I respect your arguments but any time a medal with the “V” designation is worn it should merit special attention if it is indeed part of the aide’s responsibility. I am not familiar with Navy decorations but I do know there is a big difference in the army’s award of the “V” device on the Bronze Star. The “V” device was only awarded for valor in actual combat whereas the plain Bronze Star was awarded just for being in the theater of operations perhaps as a clerk-typist.

    all governments are essentially, at their very cores, 100% corrupt criminal scams.
     
    Are you sure it's 100%? This Internet thingy was a government project. So was/is the Interstate Highway System. Airports, hospitals, fire departments, sanitation and sewage systems -- to mention just a few -- all rely to a greater or lesser extent on some government's ability to tax the citizens who benefit from these public services, but you -- and others here -- seem to be saying that'd we'd be better off without all the services since we're the ones paying for them.

    Anyway, assuming for the sake of argument that your comment is accurate, what is your recommended solution?

    Specifics please, not vague platitudes or shop-worn clichés: How do we build and enjoy public services without some government or governing body in charge?

    Bill Jones says: "...The Internet Highway system, implemented by an ex CEO of General motors was the corrupt use of tax payer dollars to kill off the existing railway system....."

    The US Interstate highway system, although built in 1956, had its origins in the 1930's, when the crook Roosevelt visited the crook Hitler in Germany and was impressed by the said crooks autobahn system and decided to model a US system on Hitler's own criminal road system.

    The the official excuse for the US system at the time was the need for a way of for the rapid ground transport of heavy military equipment from coast to coast.

    The highways were thus initially built to military specs, with curves, cambers and gradients that were deemed suitable for the transport of heavy military equipment, such as tanks on tank transporters.

    Of course there was no constitutional provision for such a system, but even by the 1930's, as Mencken observed at the time, the constitution was a dead letter.

    Gotta love our "unconstitutional" Nazi road system! :-) ["Just" another criminal, government scam. ]

    That's a simplistic viewpoint. People commit suicide for all sorts of reasons. A "now they'll be sorry that they did this to me" guilt trip is quite common, as is having a martyr complex. As David Martin suggests, it is the media dog that didn't bark that raises suspicions in this case, and the frequency of so many "convenient for some" suicides by individuals in positions of power.

    The fact that women tend to use the least disfiguring methods tends to belie Mr Simon’s view.

  • @Sparkon

    As it can be inferred from Boorda’s various levels of commands he would have signed off on many discharges of sailors and Marines being busted or thrown out of the Navy for exactly what he did(improper wearing of awards)
     
    Any citations to support your inference?

    I too am a veteran, and I've never heard of anyone being thrown out of any service for improper wearing of service ribbons. Indeed, Boorda wasn't busted or thrown out of the USN when informed by the Navy that the embellishments were unauthorized, but rather, he simply stopped wearing the embellishments.

    In any event, according to his Wikipedia article, Boorda had verbal authorization from Adm. Zumwalt to wear one of the embellishments.


    However, Boorda stopped wearing the two "V" devices on these two service ribbons about a year before the Hackworth investigation, after Boorda had been informed by the Navy that he was not authorized to wear them.
     
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Michael_Boorda

    Ah so, rather than being busted or thrown out of the Navy, Boorda simply stopped wearing the two tiny 'v' embellishments on two of his service ribbons after being informed that he wasn't authorized to wear them, and this already at least a year before Newsweek began its investigation, and well before his alleged suicide.

    The facts don't add up to support the finding that Boorda killed himself. He was in good spirits, and the alleged motive of shame had already expired. Did he really shoot himself in the chest...twice?

    The pertinent question is whether or not the alleged anger of senior Navy staff officers toward Boorda because of Tailhook had expired. In other words, did anyone have a motive to kill the Admiral?


    What the Navy has hidden is that the CNO was murdered. MacDonald obtained the witness of one Chief Medical Corpsman who stated that he saw 2 bullet holes in Boorda’s body. The official story is that Boorda shot himself in the chest with a hollow point bullet, but the truth is that his murderer killed him with 2 shots to the chest.

    All persons who knew Boorda were shocked by the “suicide.”
     
    http://theamericanchronicle.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-murder-of-admiral-jeremy-boorda.html

    As to the “V medal” thing. Yes of course Boorda was not thrown out for the V’s . And no, in and of itself , any sailor or service “person” wearing unauthorized devices , as you might know from being a military veteran of some sort , might well be just chewed out or they might might face UCMJ action which depending on their commanders, and what else they might have been accumulated from being wrote up and earlier UCMJ’s can lead to a discharge . Sorta like the “3 strikes law” but in the military a ‘”sailor” might get away , get busted numerous times or maybe just once and boom out the door, In the Army , the 3rd counseling statement was usually the line for UCMJ action , but it is all situational, command dependent and luck too IMO.

    As to being able to site a person’s name now or specific acts 2o+ years after the fact? I am sorry I can’t, and honestly am wary as of yet if this is a action to dismiss what I am saying . All I can say is yes I do recall an incident mentioned in the ‘Navy Times” about a “problem” sailor being caught for unauthorized wear of something om Guam I do not recall. And that sailor being “chaptered out” for it . Can I recall his name or a periodical number date or page?, nope. Can I recall in what function this would have passed across Boorda’s desk or his position at the time?, Nope, But I remember that instance happening because it was a glaring example of hypocrisy on Boorda’s part , given the timing and attention of all this stuff I had at time. As I noted I was greatly interested in Boorda , his suicide and that whole Hackett medal incident , so such a minor event , I noted it because it was a concrete black mark , that simply could not be dismissed, though it was never noted/connected publicly in anything. IIRC!,, maybe Hackett mentioned something to this effect, It has been a long time , and sadly my memory of 20-25 year old details, snippets and ect.’s, is not up to MLA- Turabian footnote standards.

    But it doesn’t matter , if you think a General Officer of the O-9 rank with 40 years of service as a commanding officer or a reviewing/board officer never once wrote up ,or signed off , on a UCMJ action of a lower rank service member for uniform violations which either directly or indirectly contributed to that lower service member being dismissed. Or as CNO of the entire Navy never wrote , reviewed on signed off on the various and numerous SOPS issued about making ‘paper” on uniform violations , just believe what I said is bull. Firsthand, I saw cases while in the army done by far lower rank officers numerous times. As well I read of the incident I mentioned and others, in passing, taking place in the Navy while I was working as a USN/USMC civilian contractor.

    Anyway , Boorda , by wearing those V and then by action admitting guilt by removing them , and going on for years , do you think that might not have “ate’ at him inside . Anyone with a shred of honor it would have . And yes , I do remember reading Zumwalt’s “expost facto ”
    damage control opinion and even the general Navy’s opinion of such V’s even before Boorda’s suicide and long before Zumwalt announced publicly about Boorda being “authorized” to wear them, since those V’s basically were a “gimme” on Navy Bronze stars in Vietnam for officers in similar positions to Boorda at the time.

    Doesn’t matter , on paper , or rather the lack of paper called Orders which give you the authorization to wear such things, Boorda walked around for a while being what is known as a PX Warrior. He did not have paper for them, therefor he did not have them , and he wore them anyway.

    And , IMO it is of real note he took them off , and at the same time he was the top guy and obviously is supposed to “set the example” for the entire Navy and Corps. And then for whatever personal reason he removed them, but he was photographed wearing them and then later here comes Hackworth , with his reputation for exposing such stuff to the US public . Yep , I can see that as quite possibly causing intense internal conflict and stress and guilt in a man such as Boorda, even if everyone one around him according to that site’s 3rd person ? hearsay”statements that said they were “surprised” at his suicide , well? No Duh. It happens in a lot of suicide cases. And this happy and “looking forward” to retirement ? Yes , alot of servicemen (PC police here I am) look at getting out of the military as a happy day, but it as well brings stress, uncertainty, fear, and depression to many that they will be “out of job” or more actually out of something they LOVED to do all their life and now it will be gone . It happens. There is also, from what I heard/read in the army, in the case of 30+plus years military retirees, “most” or “more than half” don’t live 5 years after they retire . In the Army , I heard even half of 20 years retirees don’t last 5 years.
    I don’t know if that is statistically true , but it has a ring to it, and that “die 5 years after retiring”did scare a lot of the dudes I knew with Vietnam combat patches back in the 80’s like my grizzled platoon and First sergeants as they approached retirement. Midlife crisis on top of it all as well

    In Boorda’s case , I looked at his position, his past, and the numerous SEVERE stress factors hitting him all at once as being a “perfect storm” that led to his suicide . Junk was coming at him from many directions even from inside himself.

    Occam’s Razor IMO is hard to exclude here. trading Boorda’s suicide for a Chem trail “conspiracy” whoops, or a top secret murderous homosexual general officer’s club, or all gay Navy pilots association, or some statement/claims given of a now dead supposed IDK? Marine “secret agent ” by his WIFE , to an internet misinformation agent(Military Corruption’s Glen M- though you can find “pieces of truth there , if you know what is missing LOL) just does not cut it , without a lot of “first-hand” refuting evidence . Where is it? A photo of 2 entrance holes on Boorda’s chest would be nice.,

    If parsimony rules, then it shouldn't take you 1900 words of (entirely unconvincing) special pleading to try to make your case.

    You are not even a veteran yet you seem to have great passion about this relatively minor issue of service ribbon devices, and seem to think as well that you have unique insights about the case from your perspective as a civilian contractor.

    Get real. There is absolutely no evidence that Boorda was depressed or experiencing great shame or any shame at all because of one or two relatively minor transgressions with his fruit salad that he had corrected already a year earlier.

    My own fruit salad earned in two tours of duty with the USAF during the Vietnam era includes service ribbons for good conduct, longevity, national defense, and expert small arms marksmanship. However...


    This ribbon was authorized by the Secretary of the Air Force on Aug. 28, 1962. It is awarded to all Air Force service members who, after Jan. 1, 1963, qualify as "expert" in small-arms marksmanship with either the M-16 rifle or issue handgun.


    CRITERIA Qualify as expert in small-arms marksmanship with either the M-16 rifle or issue handgun.
     
    Well, the thing is, the M-16 wasn't available in appreciable numbers for the Air Force until about 1970. In 1964, I qualified during basic training with the M-14. In 1970, I qualified as expert again, this time with the M-16.

    Was I authorized to wear the expert marksmanship ribbon on my dress blues from 1964 to 1970? My DI at Lackland AFB said I was, and so I did.

    Similarly, after my overseas office was awarded the Outstanding Section Award, our NCOIC told us we were henceforth authorized to wear the Outstanding Unit Award service ribbon. Typically, there are various so-called "barracks lawyers" who dispense advice good and bad that arises from casual, non-official interpretations of various orders and/or regulations, some oral, which may be unclear or ambiguous.

    Meanwhile, for reasons known only to itself, the Navy has not released the results of Adm. Boorda's autopsy, perhaps (not really) to cover up innumeracy among Navy corpsmen, as you suggest, but more plausibly to conceal the nature and number of Adm. Boorda's wounds.

    You are pulling from an article at the American Chronicle by Tony Bonn, Now that, like this UNZ article I think is pulling from the same place Military Corruption. The article here at UNZ it is fair to guess gets its basis for the Sterney side athttp://militarycorruption.com/usn/stearney-scott/.

    now I am sure Glen McDonald (editor of Mil Corruption) has an article (or several) about his Boorda theories , which might explain the aside mention in the article here of Booda’s suicide and this current death (which I don’t if it was a suicide or murder ) either way two deaths does not a link make by themselves.

    Please note , I will only go as far as I can be certain of , to do justice to discussing the myriads details involved would demand literally days to reconstruct the chain of events, timing of both the V scandal and as well the details of the days of Boorda’s suicide. I spent those days 20+ years ago , and won’t spend that much time going back just to bury Glem McDonald’s “conspiracy theories” that are based on what the wife of another guy who had he own “conspiracy theories” about Boorda’s death and the whole he was murdered because he” Boorda” got in the way of some

    ” She states that it is nearly impossible to rise to colonel / commander or above without participating in the gay sex rituals which dominate the upper reaches of the US Navy.”

    because Tailhook was not about some dyke being offended at being grouped at the yearly carrier’s pilots frat party/drinking binge/orgy in Las Vegas. Why would a Dyke go to a party with hundreds of druink navy officer’s except to start a big pro-LBGT (anti-whitew anti male destroy the navy PC scandal

    But instead tainhook was about a “secret group of Filed Grade homosexuals in the Navy LOL

    Realize Glen McDonald is a disinformation agent. He does include alot of truth in some of his stuff , but then he throws in weird shit like that. That actually covers up what Tailhook was about (Some Dyke wanting to disgrace all them TOP-GUN Navy Alpha MALE all-American women-banging captian American/Tom Cruise /types that are carrier pilots. Ever meet them? They ain’t homo’s

    So Glen McDonald, in this case is pushing misinformation about some bogus homo ring killing Boorda to cover themselves rather than the actual lesbian busting up the Navy Carrier officer clique and their “famous ” party they threw every year.

    He (Glen McDonaldld ) did the same thing when it came with the USS Fitzgerald collision, using “bull” instead of looking at the actual cause, An incompetent white female at odds with an incompetent black female with an inc ompetent black male ‘harassing her”(and probably banging one or both IDK-demands more research, all three present on the bridge that night, and none of them doing or able to do their jobs. Mc Donald ignored and certainly didn’t mention the racial and sexual aspects that lead to that collusion , I wrote him and called him out on it.

    But i digress, Back to the article you site – or he Boorda was killed becuase he was going to expose the “Chemtrails” thing which I still don’t fathom what chemtrails is about , or he was going to expose the “scandal”of the Clinton admin/ the Navy/US giving guns to Bosnian Moslems( some “scandal” as it was publicly known at the time)

    That article you site and its parent just throws alot of “mud” and hopes something sticks

    Anyway the article you site and its parent article make several reaching assumptions and insertions of misinformation if you didn’t notice them.

    A couple other things here; notice the use of 2 “bullet holes”. The things is ,an entrance wound and an exit wound could be counted as “two” “bullet” “holes” , So that line is not any absolute proof but Tony Bonn and Glen McDonald (hate he has the same last name as the great Occident Quarterly publisher) treat it that way ) run with that as if it is, and please note that info to begin with is “hearsay” 2 places removed. , And the homo tailhook reason is like 3 places hearsay. would (now) alot of research just to go back through all that garbage mix with truth to separate and compare with other POV’s to really understand this stuff , far more than this blog reply I am doing now.

    continued- I am scared to lose a longer post -I apologize for the messy post and lack of edit given how posting edit works here, typing is difficult and a slow operation for me in this first place, and maintaining attention/being clear is an issue with me as well . hands disabled/don’t work well , in pain, on a lot of meds, such is my life

    This just in : the media were directly involved in the claimed events of 9/11.

    On the morning of 9/11 all 5 US nationwide MSM incs.[ABC,CBS,CNN, Fox, NBC] broadcast 100% fabricated [ i.e fake] computer generated imagery of a plane strike [ Fl.175 into WTC2] , and later on the collapses of WTC2 , then WTC 1.

    Those 100% fake "live" broadcasts lasted 102 minutes, all told, as has been exposed by lone 9/11 researcher Simon Shack in his 2008 video series "September Clues" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF0-nslm3j0

    Here is an addendum to "September Clues", which clearly reveals, via close, detailed, frame by frame analysis, the complete fraudulence of all of the original, as aired, mainstream news networks "live" 9/11, broadcasts; complete with impossible scenery perspectives, impossible building dimensions, fake "view from helicopter" shots, and an impossibly mobile bridge:

    You understand why the élite are at the helm when you come to see the 17-list is descriptive of all (normal) people. The élite are no inventors of a game, just the aptest and best vo-ordinating players. This switches over the perspective, thus the whole sight changes.

    You will rarely hear me use that word combo, "conspiracy theory". I know too well how it has been abused in the Anti-white War , and labeling historical revision with all the denier bull . No I use it "correctly' and I will rarely use it since I am aware of the weight it carries.

    Using "conspiracy theory" for postulating that Adm Boorda's suicide was actually a murder I think it qualifies. Moon Landing being a hoax is another good "conspiracy theory".

    Of course the ultimate "conspiracy theory", was no theory as it was quite a successful real "conspiracy" The Big H. leading to the Big Iz. but that is another topic and certainly near the opposite of what you thought of my POV when I used that two word in my earlier post, LOL.

    What you're looking for is a general theory of corruption, and I'm not sure that one is possible. See my latest attempt to make sense of Vince Foster's murder and the cover-up for my stab at it. http://www.dcdave.com/article5/161213.htm. I started off with illicit drugs and ended with high level pedophilia. Did you notice the absolute press hysteria of denial over the big pedo-implying stuff in the Podesta emails? The parents of my murdered young neighbor, Tommy Burkett, formed a national organization called Parents against Corruption and Cover-up. A high percentage of their members were military families. The family of Kenneth Trentadue were also members. Both Burketts died of particularly fast acting cancers, reminiscent of the one that killed Jack Ruby. Their web site, rescued from the Internet archive, is among the list of links at my dcdave.com web site.

    I've worked with them. They aren't superhuman. An aide failing to get the display right might well never be noticed by a busy and somewhat political military executive. Servant problem, don't you know, and much else on his/her mind. Admiral might get a ding for not providing a good example to the troops, but only if he or she was in temporary political disgrace.

    Heck, I remember one of Admiral that made it a practice to close the door to her office when the office Marine played the Marine Hymn - weakening the social structure and morale of the office she worked in and the organization that it was part of.

    The thing to remember about elites is that they serve in an organization staffed by non-elites who are not super-geniuses. This means that the elites can't be super-geniuses either - try putting a 150 IQ topologist in command and see what happens.
    Nor can the elite be near obsessive-compulsives who check every detail every time. The micro-managers get weeded out and sometime relieved for cause when commanding ships and the like.

    Everybody would like elites to be demigods. Heaven and Hell are both absolute dictatorships, and everybody wants to go to a secular Heaven, run by the equivalent of God. Beautiful wish, but it doesn't happen. God isn't manifest on earth as a senior manager, it seems. Managers are just specialized workers, no more, no less. They know their business and not necessarily any more. Did you really expect anything else to be true?

    Forgot to really mention why I felt my usage of conspiracy theory was correct.

    I was working for the USN/USMC when this occurred . And knew some of Amr. Boorda from reading various articles of his, his conduct during some events that occurred as he was in the higher echelons of the Navy.His carreer was intriguing to me since he was a "Mustang" prior service enlisted and that he rose that high in rank. And I as well knew of Hackworth and read his opinions on the matter. Then reading and or running various details surrounding his suicide as much that anyone said or was public record. Then there was the fact I am a veteran, and what Hackworth's said of Boorda and what Boorda said of Boorda and the timing all point toward Boorda committing suicide at that time. A form of repentance, As it can be inferred from Boorda's various levels of commands he would have signed off on many discharges of sailors and Marines being busted or thrown out of the Navy for exactly what he did(improper wearing of awards). Price paid , perhaps too much in hindsight, but way more than for some internet blogger to be mudding up the historical record and in a way besmirching Boorda's already tarnished image without any presentations of facts.

    As it can be inferred from Boorda’s various levels of commands he would have signed off on many discharges of sailors and Marines being busted or thrown out of the Navy for exactly what he did(improper wearing of awards)

    Any citations to support your inference?

    I too am a veteran, and I’ve never heard of anyone being thrown out of any service for improper wearing of service ribbons. Indeed, Boorda wasn’t busted or thrown out of the USN when informed by the Navy that the embellishments were unauthorized, but rather, he simply stopped wearing the embellishments.

    In any event, according to his Wikipedia article, Boorda had verbal authorization from Adm. Zumwalt to wear one of the embellishments.

    However, Boorda stopped wearing the two “V” devices on these two service ribbons about a year before the Hackworth investigation, after Boorda had been informed by the Navy that he was not authorized to wear them.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Michael_Boorda

    Ah so, rather than being busted or thrown out of the Navy, Boorda simply stopped wearing the two tiny ‘v’ embellishments on two of his service ribbons after being informed that he wasn’t authorized to wear them, and this already at least a year before Newsweek began its investigation, and well before his alleged suicide.

    The facts don’t add up to support the finding that Boorda killed himself. He was in good spirits, and the alleged motive of shame had already expired. Did he really shoot himself in the chest…twice?

    The pertinent question is whether or not the alleged anger of senior Navy staff officers toward Boorda because of Tailhook had expired. In other words, did anyone have a motive to kill the Admiral?

    What the Navy has hidden is that the CNO was murdered. MacDonald obtained the witness of one Chief Medical Corpsman who stated that he saw 2 bullet holes in Boorda’s body. The official story is that Boorda shot himself in the chest with a hollow point bullet, but the truth is that his murderer killed him with 2 shots to the chest.

    All persons who knew Boorda were shocked by the “suicide.”

    You are pulling from an article at the American Chronicle by Tony Bonn, Now that, like this UNZ article I think is pulling from the same place Military Corruption. The article here at UNZ it is fair to guess gets its basis for the Sterney side athttp://militarycorruption.com/usn/stearney-scott/.

    now I am sure Glen McDonald (editor of Mil Corruption) has an article (or several) about his Boorda theories , which might explain the aside mention in the article here of Booda's suicide and this current death (which I don't if it was a suicide or murder ) either way two deaths does not a link make by themselves.

    Please note , I will only go as far as I can be certain of , to do justice to discussing the myriads details involved would demand literally days to reconstruct the chain of events, timing of both the V scandal and as well the details of the days of Boorda's suicide. I spent those days 20+ years ago , and won't spend that much time going back just to bury Glem McDonald's "conspiracy theories" that are based on what the wife of another guy who had he own "conspiracy theories" about Boorda's death and the whole he was murdered because he" Boorda" got in the way of some

    " She states that it is nearly impossible to rise to colonel / commander or above without participating in the gay sex rituals which dominate the upper reaches of the US Navy."

    because Tailhook was not about some dyke being offended at being grouped at the yearly carrier's pilots frat party/drinking binge/orgy in Las Vegas. Why would a Dyke go to a party with hundreds of druink navy officer's except to start a big pro-LBGT (anti-whitew anti male destroy the navy PC scandal

    But instead tainhook was about a "secret group of Filed Grade homosexuals in the Navy LOL

    Realize Glen McDonald is a disinformation agent. He does include alot of truth in some of his stuff , but then he throws in weird shit like that. That actually covers up what Tailhook was about (Some Dyke wanting to disgrace all them TOP-GUN Navy Alpha MALE all-American women-banging captian American/Tom Cruise /types that are carrier pilots. Ever meet them? They ain't homo's

    So Glen McDonald, in this case is pushing misinformation about some bogus homo ring killing Boorda to cover themselves rather than the actual lesbian busting up the Navy Carrier officer clique and their "famous " party they threw every year.

    He (Glen McDonaldld ) did the same thing when it came with the USS Fitzgerald collision, using "bull" instead of looking at the actual cause, An incompetent white female at odds with an incompetent black female with an inc ompetent black male 'harassing her"(and probably banging one or both IDK-demands more research, all three present on the bridge that night, and none of them doing or able to do their jobs.

    , @Christo
    As to the "V medal" thing. Yes of course Boorda was not thrown out for the V's . And no, in and of itself , any sailor or service "person" wearing unauthorized devices , as you might know from being a military veteran of some sort , might well be just chewed out or they might might face UCMJ action which depending on their commanders, and what else they might have been accumulated from being wrote up and earlier UCMJ's can lead to a discharge . Sorta like the "3 strikes law" but in the military a '"sailor" might get away , get busted numerous times or maybe just once and boom out the door, In the Army , the 3rd counseling statement was usually the line for UCMJ action , but it is all situational, command dependent and luck too IMO.

    As to being able to site a person's name now or specific acts 2o+ years after the fact? I am sorry I can't, and honestly am wary as of yet if this is a action to dismiss what I am saying . All I can say is yes I do recall an incident mentioned in the 'Navy Times" about a "problem" sailor being caught for unauthorized wear of something om Guam I do not recall. And that sailor being "chaptered out" for it . Can I recall his name or a periodical number date or page?, nope. Can I recall in what function this would have passed across Boorda's desk or his position at the time?, Nope, But I remember that instance happening because it was a glaring example of hypocrisy on Boorda's part , given the timing and attention of all this stuff I had at time. As I noted I was greatly interested in Boorda , his suicide and that whole Hackett medal incident , so such a minor event , I noted it because it was a concrete black mark , that simply could not be dismissed, though it was never noted/connected publicly in anything. IIRC!,, maybe Hackett mentioned something to this effect, It has been a long time , and sadly my memory of 20-25 year old details, snippets and ect.'s, is not up to MLA- Turabian footnote standards.

    But it doesn't matter , if you think a General Officer of the O-9 rank with 40 years of service as a commanding officer or a reviewing/board officer never once wrote up ,or signed off , on a UCMJ action of a lower rank service member for uniform violations which either directly or indirectly contributed to that lower service member being dismissed. Or as CNO of the entire Navy never wrote , reviewed on signed off on the various and numerous SOPS issued about making 'paper" on uniform violations , just believe what I said is bull. Firsthand, I saw cases while in the army done by far lower rank officers numerous times. As well I read of the incident I mentioned and others, in passing, taking place in the Navy while I was working as a USN/USMC civilian contractor.

    Anyway , Boorda , by wearing those V and then by action admitting guilt by removing them , and going on for years , do you think that might not have "ate' at him inside . Anyone with a shred of honor it would have . And yes , I do remember reading Zumwalt's "expost facto "
    damage control opinion and even the general Navy's opinion of such V's even before Boorda's suicide and long before Zumwalt announced publicly about Boorda being "authorized" to wear them, since those V's basically were a "gimme" on Navy Bronze stars in Vietnam for officers in similar positions to Boorda at the time.

    Doesn't matter , on paper , or rather the lack of paper called Orders which give you the authorization to wear such things, Boorda walked around for a while being what is known as a PX Warrior. He did not have paper for them, therefor he did not have them , and he wore them anyway.

    And , IMO it is of real note he took them off , and at the same time he was the top guy and obviously is supposed to "set the example" for the entire Navy and Corps. And then for whatever personal reason he removed them, but he was photographed wearing them and then later here comes Hackworth , with his reputation for exposing such stuff to the US public . Yep , I can see that as quite possibly causing intense internal conflict and stress and guilt in a man such as Boorda, even if everyone one around him according to that site's 3rd person ? hearsay"statements that said they were "surprised" at his suicide , well? No Duh. It happens in a lot of suicide cases. And this happy and "looking forward" to retirement ? Yes , alot of servicemen (PC police here I am) look at getting out of the military as a happy day, but it as well brings stress, uncertainty, fear, and depression to many that they will be "out of job" or more actually out of something they LOVED to do all their life and now it will be gone . It happens. There is also, from what I heard/read in the army, in the case of 30+plus years military retirees, "most" or "more than half" don't live 5 years after they retire . In the Army , I heard even half of 20 years retirees don't last 5 years.
    I don't know if that is statistically true , but it has a ring to it, and that "die 5 years after retiring"did scare a lot of the dudes I knew with Vietnam combat patches back in the 80's like my grizzled platoon and First sergeants as they approached retirement. Midlife crisis on top of it all as well

    In Boorda's case , I looked at his position, his past, and the numerous SEVERE stress factors hitting him all at once as being a "perfect storm" that led to his suicide . Junk was coming at him from many directions even from inside himself.

    Occam's Razor IMO is hard to exclude here. trading Boorda's suicide for a Chem trail "conspiracy" whoops, or a top secret murderous homosexual general officer's club, or all gay Navy pilots association, or some statement/claims given of a now dead supposed IDK? Marine "secret agent " by his WIFE , to an internet misinformation agent(Military Corruption's Glen M- though you can find "pieces of truth there , if you know what is missing LOL) just does not cut it , without a lot of "first-hand" refuting evidence . Where is it? A photo of 2 entrance holes on Boorda's chest would be nice.,

    https://www.truthdig.com/articles/pat-tillman-murdered/

    Doctors examining Tillman’s body after he was killed in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators that the three bullet holes in his head appeared to have been fired by an M-16 from less than a dozen yards away rather than the 100 meters or so that the military has claimed.

    Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman’s forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player’s death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

    “The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described,” a doctor who examined Tillman’s body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.

    The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.

    And Pat Tillman’s trusting the rat, Noam Chomsky, thinking he was a genuine government critic, may have been what did him in. See the addendum to my article here: http://www.dcdave.com/article5/121108.htm

  • @cassandra

    Here it is two years after the fact, and this is the first that even I, as well-plugged-in as I am, had heard of Gen. Rossi’s death.
     
    The cases cited in your article, as well as this post, begs the question, now what? While I'm someone who values tidbits of even partial knowledge (which of course places me in the proud company of like-minded "conspiracy theorists"), I find myself at something of a loss trying to fit most "suspicious" suicides into some kind of coherent worldview.

    As a counter example, your Kay Griggs series was very illuminating, because it went beyond suspicion and opened the window on specifics about which I'd no idea.

    Stories like hers can coalesce into a picture that extends beyond an immediate episode. Operation of high-level pedophilia is another example: while the Franklin affair, the Jimmy Saville episode, the "lost" dossier implicating the British Royalty, and the personalities surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, each appear to be isolated curiosities, taken together, they suggest the existence of pedophiliac practices at high levels. As further reports (e.g., Sibel Edmunds) reinforce this narrative, the probability increases that pedophilia might be a significant carrot/stick (blackmail) motivator, and so deserves increasing consideration when forming hypotheses about behind-the-scenes elite motivations, just as the Griggs case.

    Obviously, the reefs of confirmation bias are especially prominent hazards in navigating these waters, but given the incompleteness of the reporting, and the manifest intent to keep so much submerged, the difficulty of knowing how much trust to place in ones own conclusions, and the annoying need for constant reassessment, comes with the territory (albeit compensated by the joy of acquired insight).

    The frustration expressed at the beginning of this post arise from the fact that the points you reveal are really proto-reporting, facts that a good reporter will dig up before proceeding with a full-blown investigation. Deeper investigation is vastly more difficult, and should be supported by the greater resources, including connections, of the MSM. Good luck with that, as readers of American Pravda say.

    So, many thanks for bringing these issues to our attention.

    What you’re looking for is a general theory of corruption, and I’m not sure that one is possible. See my latest attempt to make sense of Vince Foster’s murder and the cover-up for my stab at it. http://www.dcdave.com/article5/161213.htm. I started off with illicit drugs and ended with high level pedophilia. Did you notice the absolute press hysteria of denial over the big pedo-implying stuff in the Podesta emails? The parents of my murdered young neighbor, Tommy Burkett, formed a national organization called Parents against Corruption and Cover-up. A high percentage of their members were military families. The family of Kenneth Trentadue were also members. Both Burketts died of particularly fast acting cancers, reminiscent of the one that killed Jack Ruby. Their web site, rescued from the Internet archive, is among the list of links at my dcdave.com web site.

    Capiche?

    Forgot to really mention why I felt my usage of conspiracy theory was correct.

    I was working for the USN/USMC when this occurred . And knew some of Amr. Boorda from reading various articles of his, his conduct during some events that occurred as he was in the higher echelons of the Navy.His carreer was intriguing to me since he was a “Mustang” prior service enlisted and that he rose that high in rank. And I as well knew of Hackworth and read his opinions on the matter. Then reading and or running various details surrounding his suicide as much that anyone said or was public record. Then there was the fact I am a veteran, and what Hackworth’s said of Boorda and what Boorda said of Boorda and the timing all point toward Boorda committing suicide at that time. A form of repentance, As it can be inferred from Boorda’s various levels of commands he would have signed off on many discharges of sailors and Marines being busted or thrown out of the Navy for exactly what he did(improper wearing of awards). Price paid , perhaps too much in hindsight, but way more than for some internet blogger to be mudding up the historical record and in a way besmirching Boorda’s already tarnished image without any presentations of facts.

    Any citations to support your inference?

    I too am a veteran, and I've never heard of anyone being thrown out of any service for improper wearing of service ribbons. Indeed, Boorda wasn't busted or thrown out of the USN when informed by the Navy that the embellishments were unauthorized, but rather, he simply stopped wearing the embellishments.

    In any event, according to his Wikipedia article, Boorda had verbal authorization from Adm. Zumwalt to wear one of the embellishments.


    However, Boorda stopped wearing the two "V" devices on these two service ribbons about a year before the Hackworth investigation, after Boorda had been informed by the Navy that he was not authorized to wear them.
     
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Michael_Boorda

    Ah so, rather than being busted or thrown out of the Navy, Boorda simply stopped wearing the two tiny 'v' embellishments on two of his service ribbons after being informed that he wasn't authorized to wear them, and this already at least a year before Newsweek began its investigation, and well before his alleged suicide.

    The facts don't add up to support the finding that Boorda killed himself. He was in good spirits, and the alleged motive of shame had already expired. Did he really shoot himself in the chest...twice?

    The pertinent question is whether or not the alleged anger of senior Navy staff officers toward Boorda because of Tailhook had expired. In other words, did anyone have a motive to kill the Admiral?


    What the Navy has hidden is that the CNO was murdered. MacDonald obtained the witness of one Chief Medical Corpsman who stated that he saw 2 bullet holes in Boorda’s body. The official story is that Boorda shot himself in the chest with a hollow point bullet, but the truth is that his murderer killed him with 2 shots to the chest.

    All persons who knew Boorda were shocked by the “suicide.”

    You will rarely hear me use that word combo, “conspiracy theory”. I know too well how it has been abused in the Anti-white War , and labeling historical revision with all the denier bull . No I use it “correctly’ and I will rarely use it since I am aware of the weight it carries.

    Using “conspiracy theory” for postulating that Adm Boorda’s suicide was actually a murder I think it qualifies. Moon Landing being a hoax is another good “conspiracy theory”.

    Of course the ultimate “conspiracy theory”, was no theory as it was quite a successful real “conspiracy” The Big H. leading to the Big Iz. but that is another topic and certainly near the opposite of what you thought of my POV when I used that two word in my earlier post, LOL.

    An article including the most far-fetched "stuff" , I have read on this forum. The details the timing around and and about Adm. Boorda's death , remove it from conspiracy theory. He killed himself. To come out 20 years later saying otherwise with nothing at all, won't change that.

    The rest of the article? I don't know , It kept mixing in so much other bull , I really couldn't see anything supporting any conspiracy about this new Adm.'s death. either. Lost interest trying to sort it out.

    The conspiracy theory — Saddam WMD
    Saddam Anthrax attack on New York
    Saddam meeting Prague in Atta ( does it matter ? May be Atta meeting in Prague But tell that to the readers of NYT and viewers of FOX- They don’t know what the fuck they are being told -Atta is in Prague or Prague in Atta is same to them )

    Saddam and Bin Ledeen cavorting in cave or in palace ( again they don’t know they are true patriots and sing – I don’t k now what Iran or Iraq is )

    Then they come and say sorry . End of the story . The series ran its course

    Now new conspiracy

    Gaddafi is distributing Viagra and about to kill millions

    That ran its course
    then came Syria is using Gas on its people and again and again has used on its people. This has not run its course . Stay tuned.

    The strangest and maybe one of the most revealing murders just happened recently without, as far as I can tell, any media investigation at all. None.

    This was the recent death Boston crime lord and longtime FBI informant Whitey Bulger who seems to have been recently transferred to a regular prison after residing for years in a heavily protected, "safe" prison environment that had been specifically designed for government snitches like him and ex- Mafia member informants. Within just a few hours of his coming to this new prison, he was murdered while sitting in his wheelchair. Very little has been revealed about this mysterious death.

    How was this transfer to a regular prison population allowed considering Bulger's considerable notoriety and the knowledge of what fellow prisoners do to "snitches"? How did his murderers learn so quickly about his new presence? Was anyone punished for proposing and then allowing this very dangerous transfer to a general prison population to occur? No one seems to know.

    Bulger has a very curious connection to present day events. Boston based Bulger was informing to the FBI for many years about his fellow east coast gangsters, both Irish and Italian. At least part of this time, he was working under the supervision of none other than Trump arch-enemy Robert Mueller. Mueller was working for the US Attorney for the District of Massachusets (1986-1987) where he would have at least have known about Bulger's status as an informant. This knowledge would have only increased while Mueller was US Assistant Attorney general for the Criminal Division from 1990-1993. One thing definitely stands out. Mueller knew Bulger and Bulger knew (possibly a lot) about Mueller.

    There is a rumor floating around that while Bulger was an informant, the FBI (and maybe Mueller) conveniently overlooked at least three murders he committed to protect his identity. . There is another rumor out there that three innocent men were sent to prison by the FBI specifically to cover up crimes committed by Bulger. Did these coverups occur under Mueller's watch?

    Consider this timeline: Republican Mueller loses his post at the Criminal Division in 1993 after having been replaced by a Democrat appointee of the new Bill Clinton regime at the Criminal Division. This new Democrat Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, either ignoring (maybe not even knowing about Bulger's previous privileged status as an informant) starts to go after Bulger. Bulger then suddenly goes on the lam in 1994 after having been conveniently informed about his upcoming arrest. There is the curious question about who exactly informed Bulger about this upcoming arrest. A patsy was conveniently found to take the blame but for doing this but was it actually him or did the information about the upcoming arrest given to Bulger come from much higher up?

    Bulger then flees to Santa Monica, California where he resides in apparent peace and prosperity for the next sixteen years despite having his name and face plastered all over the FBI's ten most wanted list and after apparently not having had received any plastic surgery to disguise his appearance. Didn't the Santa Monica police during this period ever look at the FBI's ten most wanted list. If they would have, they might have noticed their neighbor Bulger's face on it a wee bit sooner. It's as if Bulger had suddenly become invisible in Santa Monica. Was, however, this invisibility merely by chance?

    Bulger's whereabouts were then apparently (and possibly deliberately) forgotten during the George W. Bush regime 2000-2008.

    Then under the new Obama regime, the hunt for Bulger is finally remembered and it begins afresh. An extensive effort begins to locate Bulger. This search is finally successful in 2011. Bulger is captured and put on trial and found guilty of many crimes including multiple murders.

    You can bet that Bulger, after being convicted, was then more than happy to reveal to his Obama Democrat prosecution team all sort of revealing things about his illegal work for previous Republican administrations. This was done so that he could guarantee that his life sentence could be served in semi-pleasant (i.e. safe) and maybe even a country club-like setting (you know, just like where Jonathan Pollard and Bernie Madoff ended up).

    Just a short time ago, this agreement was suddenly put aside by people who are unknown and he was deliberately set up to die. He simply knew too much to be kept alive. He had outlived his usefulness and now only was a potential threat.

    Addendum: How the MSM explains (excuses) how Bulger was never recognized for the sixteen years he was on the loose.

    Supposedly Bulger was also an early test subject of MK-Ultra. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been an intelligence asset his entire life.

    "Qr it could have been something as trivial as a simple mistake .........setting up Boorda's uniform.".
    I don't think so. Admirals probably have at least a dozen different uniforms to which medals and decorations are affixed. Admirals live in grand style better than star grade officers in the other services. He also has at least one senior grade (captain) serving as his aide who is there to fill the admiral's every whim. The aide had to know the medal(s) were unauthorized so he was complicit in the matter, Discretion is the better part of valor.

    I’ve worked with them. They aren’t superhuman. An aide failing to get the display right might well never be noticed by a busy and somewhat political military executive. Servant problem, don’t you know, and much else on his/her mind. Admiral might get a ding for not providing a good example to the troops, but only if he or she was in temporary political disgrace.

    Heck, I remember one of Admiral that made it a practice to close the door to her office when the office Marine played the Marine Hymn – weakening the social structure and morale of the office she worked in and the organization that it was part of.

    The thing to remember about elites is that they serve in an organization staffed by non-elites who are not super-geniuses. This means that the elites can’t be super-geniuses either – try putting a 150 IQ topologist in command and see what happens.
    Nor can the elite be near obsessive-compulsives who check every detail every time. The micro-managers get weeded out and sometime relieved for cause when commanding ships and the like.

    Everybody would like elites to be demigods. Heaven and Hell are both absolute dictatorships, and everybody wants to go to a secular Heaven, run by the equivalent of God. Beautiful wish, but it doesn’t happen. God isn’t manifest on earth as a senior manager, it seems. Managers are just specialized workers, no more, no less. They know their business and not necessarily any more. Did you really expect anything else to be true?

    I respect your arguments but any time a medal with the "V" designation is worn it should merit special attention if it is indeed part of the aide's responsibility. I am not familiar with Navy decorations but I do know there is a big difference in the army's award of the "V" device on the Bronze Star. The "V" device was only awarded for valor in actual combat whereas the plain Bronze Star was awarded just for being in the theater of operations perhaps as a clerk-typist.

    An article including the most far-fetched "stuff" , I have read on this forum. The details the timing around and and about Adm. Boorda's death , remove it from conspiracy theory. He killed himself. To come out 20 years later saying otherwise with nothing at all, won't change that.

    The rest of the article? I don't know , It kept mixing in so much other bull , I really couldn't see anything supporting any conspiracy about this new Adm.'s death. either. Lost interest trying to sort it out.

    Yada yada yada. Do you even know what a conspiracy is?

    You will rarely hear me use that word combo, "conspiracy theory". I know too well how it has been abused in the Anti-white War , and labeling historical revision with all the denier bull . No I use it "correctly' and I will rarely use it since I am aware of the weight it carries.

    Using "conspiracy theory" for postulating that Adm Boorda's suicide was actually a murder I think it qualifies. Moon Landing being a hoax is another good "conspiracy theory".

    Of course the ultimate "conspiracy theory", was no theory as it was quite a successful real "conspiracy" The Big H. leading to the Big Iz. but that is another topic and certainly near the opposite of what you thought of my POV when I used that two word in my earlier post, LOL. Relax , have to reclaim lost ground by restoring proper usage of some terms rather than accepting them to only being used to denigrate white people.

    Forgot to really mention why I felt my usage of conspiracy theory was correct.

    I was working for the USN/USMC when this occurred . And knew some of Amr. Boorda from reading various articles of his, his conduct during some events that occurred as he was in the higher echelons of the Navy.His carreer was intriguing to me since he was a "Mustang" prior service enlisted and that he rose that high in rank. And I as well knew of Hackworth and read his opinions on the matter. Then reading and or running various details surrounding his suicide as much that anyone said or was public record. Then there was the fact I am a veteran, and what Hackworth's said of Boorda and what Boorda said of Boorda and the timing all point toward Boorda committing suicide at that time. A form of repentance, As it can be inferred from Boorda's various levels of commands he would have signed off on many discharges of sailors and Marines being busted or thrown out of the Navy for exactly what he did(improper wearing of awards). Price paid , perhaps too much in hindsight, but way more than for some internet blogger to be mudding up the historical record and in a way besmirching Boorda's already tarnished image without any presentations of facts.

    Here it is two years after the fact, and this is the first that even I, as well-plugged-in as I am, had heard of Gen. Rossi's death. I'd say that that's another one that really needs looking into. Notice the complete paucity of details in the USA Today article. On what firm basis did that reach the conclusion that he was the culprit in his own murder? What means was used? Who found the body? What do those closest to him think? What was the motive? Nothing, and our great watchdog press is just hunky dory with that. Welcome to the USSR as far as the protection we get from high level malfeasance by our press is concerned. Wake up, people. What did our press ever tell us about Col. James Sabow's "suicide"? https://ocweekly.com/who-killed-col-james-sabow-6393655/

    Did you notice that Colonel Albin said of Sabow that he was the kind of guy who might have thought that “suicide was the manly thing to do”. The most intriguing thing about that linked article is the way the forensic evidence is left complicated but underexposed.

    Seasoned Assassins

    At critical moments in U.S. relations with the Arab world and Israel there has invariably been some one person who has seen the problem in full perspective, bestirred himself, and attempted to tell the story to the American public. Equally invariably, like the wolf at the head of the pack, he has been forthrightly shot down, his pen or voice stilled, and the gaping vacuum once more becomes apparent.

  • @schrub
    The strangest and maybe one of the most revealing murders just happened recently without, as far as I can tell, any media investigation at all. None.

    This was the recent death Boston crime lord and longtime FBI informant Whitey Bulger who seems to have been recently transferred to a regular prison after residing for years in a heavily protected, "safe" prison environment that had been specifically designed for government snitches like him and ex- Mafia member informants. Within just a few hours of his coming to this new prison, he was murdered while sitting in his wheelchair. Very little has been revealed about this mysterious death.

    How was this transfer to a regular prison population allowed considering Bulger's considerable notoriety and the knowledge of what fellow prisoners do to "snitches"? How did his murderers learn so quickly about his new presence? Was anyone punished for proposing and then allowing this very dangerous transfer to a general prison population to occur? No one seems to know.

    Bulger has a very curious connection to present day events. Boston based Bulger was informing to the FBI for many years about his fellow east coast gangsters, both Irish and Italian. At least part of this time, he was working under the supervision of none other than Trump arch-enemy Robert Mueller. Mueller was working for the US Attorney for the District of Massachusets (1986-1987) where he would have at least have known about Bulger's status as an informant. This knowledge would have only increased while Mueller was US Assistant Attorney general for the Criminal Division from 1990-1993. One thing definitely stands out. Mueller knew Bulger and Bulger knew (possibly a lot) about Mueller.

    There is a rumor floating around that while Bulger was an informant, the FBI (and maybe Mueller) conveniently overlooked at least three murders he committed to protect his identity. . There is another rumor out there that three innocent men were sent to prison by the FBI specifically to cover up crimes committed by Bulger. Did these coverups occur under Mueller's watch?

    Consider this timeline: Republican Mueller loses his post at the Criminal Division in 1993 after having been replaced by a Democrat appointee of the new Bill Clinton regime at the Criminal Division. This new Democrat Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, either ignoring (maybe not even knowing about Bulger's previous privileged status as an informant) starts to go after Bulger. Bulger then suddenly goes on the lam in 1994 after having been conveniently informed about his upcoming arrest. There is the curious question about who exactly informed Bulger about this upcoming arrest. A patsy was conveniently found to take the blame but for doing this but was it actually him or did the information about the upcoming arrest given to Bulger come from much higher up?

    Bulger then flees to Santa Monica, California where he resides in apparent peace and prosperity for the next sixteen years despite having his name and face plastered all over the FBI's ten most wanted list and after apparently not having had received any plastic surgery to disguise his appearance. Didn't the Santa Monica police during this period ever look at the FBI's ten most wanted list. If they would have, they might have noticed their neighbor Bulger's face on it a wee bit sooner. It's as if Bulger had suddenly become invisible in Santa Monica. Was, however, this invisibility merely by chance?

    Bulger's whereabouts were then apparently (and possibly deliberately) forgotten during the George W. Bush regime 2000-2008.

    Then under the new Obama regime, the hunt for Bulger is finally remembered and it begins afresh. An extensive effort begins to locate Bulger. This search is finally successful in 2011. Bulger is captured and put on trial and found guilty of many crimes including multiple murders.

    You can bet that Bulger, after being convicted, was then more than happy to reveal to his Obama Democrat prosecution team all sort of revealing things about his illegal work for previous Republican administrations. This was done so that he could guarantee that his life sentence could be served in semi-pleasant (i.e. safe) and maybe even a country club-like setting (you know, just like where Jonathan Pollard and Bernie Madoff ended up).

    Just a short time ago, this agreement was suddenly put aside by people who are unknown and he was deliberately set up to die. He simply knew too much to be kept alive. He had outlived his usefulness and now only was a potential threat.

    Addendum: How the MSM explains (excuses) how Bulger was never recognized for the sixteen years he was on the loose.

    … it was Forrestal who personally alerted freshman Senator McCarthy to the Communist menace and "named names" to him of key persons in our federal government who were consistently shaping our policies and programs to benefit Soviet Russia. It was Forrestal who thus directly inspired McCarthy's subsequent exposés of Communist influence and subversion in the federal government.

    So Robert David Steele believes Trump has the ability to tap into a network of killers and off a Navy admiral in order to halt a false flag event planned by the shadow government? I've read that Trump, in his business life, has made use of private sector spies, but what Steele asserts is in a whole different realm. Cheney or Hillary? That is believable. Trump? He's had deep state bureaucrats and shadow government operatives after his ass from day one. At this point it seems Trump won't be around for 2020; the guy the CIA set up with a boy, Mike Pence, will be a placeholder until the Democrats, which is now the political party of the deeps and shadows as the Republicans wither away into oblivion, place their favored Maoist in the White House.

    Addendum: How the MSM explains (excuses) how Bulger was never recognized for the sixteen years he was on the loose.

    This level of obfuscation - with a full piece in Psychology Today - itself screams "Deep State."

    Ironically, Mueller himself now finds himself in much the same position as his former partner in crime Whitey Bulger - he knows far too much for many people's comfort, especially the Clintons.

    Mueller would probably not survive very long if the Clintons regain a measure of power under a Democratic administration.

    Here it is two years after the fact, and this is the first that even I, as well-plugged-in as I am, had heard of Gen. Rossi's death. I'd say that that's another one that really needs looking into. Notice the complete paucity of details in the USA Today article. On what firm basis did that reach the conclusion that he was the culprit in his own murder? What means was used? Who found the body? What do those closest to him think? What was the motive? Nothing, and our great watchdog press is just hunky dory with that. Welcome to the USSR as far as the protection we get from high level malfeasance by our press is concerned. Wake up, people. What did our press ever tell us about Col. James Sabow's "suicide"? https://ocweekly.com/who-killed-col-james-sabow-6393655/

    Here it is two years after the fact, and this is the first that even I, as well-plugged-in as I am, had heard of Gen. Rossi’s death.

    The cases cited in your article, as well as this post, begs the question, now what? While I’m someone who values tidbits of even partial knowledge (which of course places me in the proud company of like-minded “conspiracy theorists”), I find myself at something of a loss trying to fit most “suspicious” suicides into some kind of coherent worldview.

    As a counter example, your Kay Griggs series was very illuminating, because it went beyond suspicion and opened the window on specifics about which I’d no idea.

    [MORE]
    Stories like hers can coalesce into a picture that extends beyond an immediate episode. Operation of high-level pedophilia is another example: while the Franklin affair, the Jimmy Saville episode, the “lost” dossier implicating the British Royalty, and the personalities surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, each appear to be isolated curiosities, taken together, they suggest the existence of pedophiliac practices at high levels. As further reports (e.g., Sibel Edmunds) reinforce this narrative, the probability increases that pedophilia might be a significant carrot/stick (blackmail) motivator, and so deserves increasing consideration when forming hypotheses about behind-the-scenes elite motivations, just as the Griggs case.

    Obviously, the reefs of confirmation bias are especially prominent hazards in navigating these waters, but given the incompleteness of the reporting, and the manifest intent to keep so much submerged, the difficulty of knowing how much trust to place in ones own conclusions, and the annoying need for constant reassessment, comes with the territory (albeit compensated by the joy of acquired insight).

    The frustration expressed at the beginning of this post arise from the fact that the points you reveal are really proto-reporting, facts that a good reporter will dig up before proceeding with a full-blown investigation. Deeper investigation is vastly more difficult, and should be supported by the greater resources, including connections, of the MSM. Good luck with that, as readers of American Pravda say.

    So, many thanks for bringing these issues to our attention.

    What you're looking for is a general theory of corruption, and I'm not sure that one is possible. See my latest attempt to make sense of Vince Foster's murder and the cover-up for my stab at it. http://www.dcdave.com/article5/161213.htm. I started off with illicit drugs and ended with high level pedophilia. Did you notice the absolute press hysteria of denial over the big pedo-implying stuff in the Podesta emails? The parents of my murdered young neighbor, Tommy Burkett, formed a national organization called Parents against Corruption and Cover-up. A high percentage of their members were military families. The family of Kenneth Trentadue were also members. Both Burketts died of particularly fast acting cancers, reminiscent of the one that killed Jack Ruby. Their web site, rescued from the Internet archive, is among the list of links at my dcdave.com web site.

    "Do you really think that America has SF teams that will assassinate US Admirals and stay silent? Or that the “media”* will actively participate in the cover up?

    *All of the editors? All journalists? What hierarchy?"

    Kenneth Starr and his team were forced by the 3-judge panel that appointed him to include in his report a 20-page letter by John Clarke, the lawyer for the witness Patrick Knowlton, that utterly destroys the conclusion of Starr's team (including Brett Kavanaugh) that Vince Foster committed suicide. To this day not one news organ in the United States has reported that that part of the report even exists.

    In 2004, the Seeley Mudd Manuscript Library of Princeton University sent out a press release that, after 55 years of suppression, they have the report of the official investigation of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal's "suicide." I had obtained it on my third FOIA try and sent it to them. As far as the MSM are concerned, Forrestal's "Warren Commission Report" is still secret. They all ignored the press release.

    In March of this year Hugh Turley and I published The Martyrdom of Thomas Merton: An Investigation, which utterly destroys the popularly believed--thanks to the news media--story that Merton was wet from a shower and died from accidental electocution. Just yesterday The New Yorker had an article on Merton that continued to state precisely that, and our book has been completly ignored by the MSM.

    Do you need any more evidence of media complicity in major murder cover-ups?

    …the report of the official investigation of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal’s “suicide.”

    Forrestal’s death came quickly to mind when I began reading this article and I’ve always thought the official reports of suicide were bogus.

    Would you be willing to share any resources for more details?

    For those who may not know who Forrestal was, here’s a link to a decent article on him.

    … it was Forrestal who personally alerted freshman Senator McCarthy to the Communist menace and “named names” to him of key persons in our federal government who were consistently shaping our policies and programs to benefit Soviet Russia. It was Forrestal who thus directly inspired McCarthy’s subsequent exposés of Communist influence and subversion in the federal government.

    -Dave Martin, James Forrestal And Joe McCarthy
    https://rense.com/general94/frr.htm

    Commies and Zionists have killed and still kill millions in their quest for world control; why would anyone not suspect Forrestal to have been killed by either? Yeah, yeah I’mma kunspirasee theerist.

    Or it could have been something as simple as a trivial mistake by an aide or a vendor in setting up Boorda's uniform. If Boorda didn't check (and he would have had other things on his mind, he was an Admiral, not a 2nd Lt.), the mistake could have persisted indefinitely. That is at least plausible.

    If Boorda cared about the display on his chest, it would have been simple to say the mistake was of such a trivial nature. Admirals are supposedly mature adults, and there was no obvious motive for falsely claiming medals. Being Admiral is more of a prestige item than most medals. Admit a trivial mistake, continue with your job. Simple as that.

    It makes the suicide theory a deal less plausible.

    OTH, the Navy has had considerable trouble with its officer corps over the past decade or two as its personnel mission becomes increasingly PC, increasingly self contradictory, while its friend and adversary the sea remains unchanged.

    Counterinsurgency.

    “Qr it could have been something as trivial as a simple mistake ………setting up Boorda’s uniform.”.
    I don’t think so. Admirals probably have at least a dozen different uniforms to which medals and decorations are affixed. Admirals live in grand style better than star grade officers in the other services. He also has at least one senior grade (captain) serving as his aide who is there to fill the admiral’s every whim. The aide had to know the medal(s) were unauthorized so he was complicit in the matter, Discretion is the better part of valor.

    • Replies: @Counterinsurgency
    I've worked with them. They aren't superhuman. An aide failing to get the display right might well never be noticed by a busy and somewhat political military executive. Servant problem, don't you know, and much else on his/her mind. Admiral might get a ding for not providing a good example to the troops, but only if he or she was in temporary political disgrace.

    Heck, I remember one of Admiral that made it a practice to close the door to her office when the office Marine played the Marine Hymn - weakening the social structure and morale of the office she worked in and the organization that it was part of.

    The thing to remember about elites is that they serve in an organization staffed by non-elites who are not super-geniuses. This means that the elites can't be super-geniuses either - try putting a 150 IQ topologist in command and see what happens.
    Nor can the elite be near obsessive-compulsives who check every detail every time. The micro-managers get weeded out and sometime relieved for cause when commanding ships and the like.

    Everybody would like elites to be demigods. Heaven and Hell are both absolute dictatorships, and everybody wants to go to a secular Heaven, run by the equivalent of God. Beautiful wish, but it doesn't happen. God isn't manifest on earth as a senior manager, it seems. Managers are just specialized workers, no more, no less. They know their business and not necessarily any more. Did you really expect anything else to be true?

    People commit suicide. There seems to be an epidemic of it in the Military...no need for anymore nutty conspiracy theories.....Endless Wars...wives and girlfriends cheat...come home from deployment...shoot your brains out....My friend a USMC Gunnery Segeant had to go up on a ladder several times to cut the rope-electric chord around the neck of young men who came back from deployment to ME to an unfaithful girlfriend-spouse....and committed suicide......He told me:”When you get deployed for battle....you better have your personal affairs back home in order...or you are at high risk for suicide...

    These multiple deployments no doubt take a toll on the Officer Corp also.....Multiple long term deployments for these men are psychologically damaging......no need for another dopey conspiracy theory from the psychotics......

    The thing with government secrecy and information vacuums is that anybody can write anything.

    Sources say the admiral hung himself from a doorknob with a red necktie.

    We have been informed the CIA has audio of Navy Seal assassins torturing the admiral for ten minutes before hacking him up with machetes in what was described as a midnight full moon luciferian ritual like something out of Apocalypse Now.

    The toxicology report has been classified but is said to have included a heroic dose of cocaine, heroin, xanax, adderall, and alcohol.
