STEVE PIECZENIK TALKS

Join The Navy!  See The World!  and PLUNDER the AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!!!

For several decades this blogger has been completely exhausted by the phantom exploits of the Navy’s SEAL Teams daring adventures all over the world.     At some point,  I was waiting for reality to evince itself amidst this barrage of self-love and iconic myths,  like  “Call of Duty”.

Fear not!   My wish for a reality check was amply rewarded.
  As Chairman Mao once said,  rephrasing the psychological dynamics of ‘idealization followed by devaluation’:  The higher the monkey climbs,  the further he falls!

The Navy fell from the heights as dare devils of bravado and death to the prosaic criminal corruption of ‘fleecing the American taxpayers’  on a MASSIVE SCALE.

In an excellent article in the November 11, 2013  Wall Street Journal by Julian E. Barnes,  entitled "Navy Investigating Alleged Ties Between Officers , Contractor",   federal prosecutors have indicted Rear Admiral Bruce Loveless and Vice Admiral Ted Branch for ‘bribery’.

Now what and who can these eminent Naval Staff Officers bribe? 

Mermaids? Whales? Dolphins [often used for intel operations]? 

No,  it’s a lot less fanciful than the Navy’s tales of  imaginary SEAL exploits.

  The federal prosecutors charges that Leonard Glenn Francis,  CEO,  of Glenn Defense Marine,  provided the aforementioned Naval Officers,  as well as many others with money,  prostitutes,  plane fare, and concert tickets in "an effort to learn information about ship deployments and to steer vessels to ports where this firm was in a position to service these vessels at ABOVE MARKET RATES."

Way to go NAVY!!!
How does Glenn Defense Marine Company [GDMC]  and the Navy plunder us,  American Tax Payers?

Since 1995,  GDMC has been CHARGING hundreds of millions of TAXPAYER DOLLARS for "husbanding" Navy ships.

  I know,  don’t get excited, dear readers!
  “HUSBANDING” service to US Navy ship includes fuel,  food provisions,  tugboat services and even port security.

  The following Naval officers , graduates of our ONCE PRESTIGIOUS NAVAL ACADEMY [that had been rife with sex scandals decades before Richard Armitage cleaned that up] include the following SCANDALOUS,  SHAMEFUL names:
[1] Vice Admiral Ted Branch,  Director Of Naval Intelligence;

[2] Rear Admiral Bruce Loveless,  Director Of Intelligence Operations.

Great,  now we have Naval Intelligence satisfying their genitals and their greed instead of using their brains and professionalism to serve this country.

[3] Cmdr Michael Misiewicz,  native of Cambodia,  provided CEO Francis with CLASSIFIED INFORMATION about ship movements. 

[4] Commander Jose Luis Sanchez,  provided Francis with CLASSIFIED INFORMATION in exchange for prostitutes,  luxury travel and $100,000 in cash!   Now Sanchez  should qualify to run for a national office!

Now this next candidate, is a real “humdinger”:

[5] John Bertrand Beliveau II,   a senior naval investigative service agent,  "tipped off Mr. Francis about various inquiries."

Once again, folks, who can trust the fox to watch the ‘hen house’? 

Literally,  the NAVY IS SUNK!!     There is no excuse for any of this reprehensible activity that has transpired over two decades.    That means that the former Chiefs of Naval Operations; the former Secretaries of the Navy;  the Navy Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs; and the former Secretaries of Defense ---could all BE IMPLICATED!!!    Remember that Mr Francis was running this SCAM since 1995.     As far as I am concerned,    there should be massive Court Martials as well as rebates back to the US taxpayers.    The Navy is just one of the branches of the military which has always had a ‘Lilly White Reputation’.

 

As an ex-Naval Officer,   I would request the MAXIMUM SENTENCING of all involved in this crime against the AMERICAN TAXPAYERS.     Furthermore,   I would encourage  the same prosecutors to examine The Marines,  The Army,  The Air Force and any other military outfits,  on or ‘off the books’.   It is time for the American public to understand that we no longer need a defense posture that costs us billions of dollars in wasted money.    It is time to ask ourselves,  what do we really need in terms of national security?
  And,   the first answer that comes to mind—

  A balanced budget… and a growing economy.

  The rest is just wasteful!!!

Get rid of these Admirals,  Naval vessels, and contractors. 

They are the TRUE BARNACLES of AMERICAN PROSPERITY!!
