Lies, Deceit, Fraud & Treason: Soldiering like a Peacenik
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 at 08:14AM “If the video gets widespread exposure, it is unfathomable that support for a US troop presence in Iraq could be sustained, and surely Iran would fall off the chickenhawks’ table of targets. It is a video that should number the days of the Bush administration.” - Information from the Occupied Iraq
Aw, too bad. The video and the soldier are frauds. Looks like the Bush administration stays.
For those still not convinced there is a concerted effort to smear the war effort on terror and demonize the US soldier, here’s more evidence (John Murtha will love this guy). Anti-war nutcase fringe groups have been putting Jesse Macbeth on a pedestal as he describes US atrocities in Iraq. . Who is Jesse MacBeth? He *thinks* he’s a young former US Army Ranger who *served* in Iraq with these self-described distinctions:
Ranger Tab - Jump Wings with 1 Combat Star
- Combat Infantryman’s Badge
- Expert Marksman, Rifle
- Sharpshooter, Pistol
- Sharpshooter, Recoiless Rifle
- Bronze Star
- Purple Heart
- Army Commendation
- Army Achievement, 2 Oak Leaf Clusters
- Good Conduct Medal
- OIF and OEF Ribbons
Wow, impressive! Except that he’s a total fraud.
Michelle Malkin is all over this story and posted this MUST WATCH VIDEO about the entire ordeal.
The hippie group Information from the Occupied Iraq reported that:
Macbeth, a slim man with a crew cut, served 16 months in Iraq before being wounded and discharged from the military. Now the disillusioned man speaks out for Iraq Veterans Against the War. If the video gets widespread exposure, it is unfathomable that support for a US troop presence in Iraq could be sustained, and surely Iran would fall off the chickenhawks’ table of targets. It is a video that should number the days of the Bush administration.
Macbeth says the message is not getting out and the corporate media is complicit.
Information from the Occupied Iraq gave these riveting accounts of what the US soldier is REALLY doing in Iraq:
An extraordinarily candid video co-produced by Seattle’s Pepperspray Productions and Peacefilms Vancouver should chill the hearts of concerned Americans and peace-loving people everywhere. At one point in the video, we hear the shaken ex-army ranger and Iraq war veteran Jessie MacBeth admit to the Stygian depths of depravity and evil that US service personnel have sunk:
Jesse Macbeth: “We were doing the night raids in houses, and uh, we would pull people out and we’d have them all, like ah, on the knees and zip-tied. And, ah, we’d ask the guy questions, the whole family, the, the man-of-the-house questions. And if he didn’t answer the way we liked, you know, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head. And we’d keep going; this was our interrogation. He could be innocent, you know. He could be just an average Joe trying to support his family. And if he didn’t give us a satisfactory answer, we’d start killing off his family until he told us something. If he didn’t know anything, guess he was SOL, you know — which sucked. I didn’t feel anything. I just wanted to do my job. “
Wait, is this Jesse Macbeth or John Kerry?
Speaking for our soldiers (like Cindy Sheehan):
Jesse Macbeth: A lot of people from the military that are over there fighting, they don’t want no more war. And all it takes is a few good men, to, to hold the rallying flag for them to rally behind and, and we’ll stop this shit. The thing is that the government is doing so much to not let us be heard. You know, the mainstream media won’t play a lot of stuff; I talk a lot; they don’t play a lot of the stuff that we talk about. They cut it out, and, and only play what the people, what they want people to hear.
If you dare, read the entire article at Information from the Occupied Iraq
Does this even remotely resemble a US Army Ranger?
1. Black t-shirt (should be tan)
2. Beret over left ear (should be over right)
3. Rolled up sleeves (Marines roll)
4. Special Forces Combat Patch (isn’t he supposed to be a RANGER?)
5. No Ranger Tab
6. No Airborne Wings
7. No Unit Crest
8. No Sewn on Rank
9. Improperly displayed flag in background
Sick yet? Information from the Occupied Iraq said that Macbeth’s testimony showed the “depths of depravity and evil that US service personnel have sunk”. Actually, it’s the other way around.
****Iowa Hawk posted this HILARIOUS PARODY with Jesse Macbeth as the guest Iowa Hawk blogger. Macbeth deserves to be laughed at. Do it here.

On YouTube, the original Jesse Macbeth videos were pulled but the Michelle Malkin Hot Air video was put in its place. Funnily, under the Michelle Malkin expose’ is a film clip by the BBC “exposing” how easy it was for soldiers to kill Iraqi civilians. The caption reads:
IVAW War Veterans And The Practice Of Killing Civilians (click to watch video)Yeah, right! These soldiers stories are as fake as John Kerry’s were 30 years ago.
06:23 A powerful clip showing former soldiers who served in Iraq explaining how easy it was to kill innocent Iraqi civilians. This video has nothing to do with Jesse MacBeth ( Jessie ). This video was aired on the BBC’s flagship news programme - Newsnight
Finally, Fix 4 RSO has an excellent post about the legal ramifications of Jesse Macbeth impersonating a US soldier. It’s a MUST READ.

These scums are not worthy to clean out a Soldier's latrine after we've barfed at all their despicable attempts to smear our President. I won't post anything else lest I defile Amy's board with how I REALLY feel about these anti-war LIARS.
This is the "apology" to the public at the "Information from Occupied Iraq":
We sincerely regret any errors of fact that may have been made in giving credence to Mr. MacBeth's testimony. We will exercise greater diligence and scrutiny in the future if and when similar circumstances arise.
We also wish to emphasize that abundant evidence of atrocities against innocent Iraqis carried out by US forces in the course of America's illegal invasion and ongoing occupation of Iraq -- the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, the use of chemical weapons in Fallujah, the killing of journalists, and many other incidents documented by both alternative and mainstream media -- already exists, regardless of Mr. MacBeth's claims, and cannot be swept under the rug if it indeed turns out Mr. MacBeth has provided a false account. American imperialism and the criminal conduct of US leaders -- both Democrat and Republican -- is exacting a terrible toll on the Iraqi people, the possibilities for peace tomorrow, and the economy here at home. Outside of a parasitic minority of the rich and privileged, we are all losers in this dreadful war.

My heart is warmed! The fact is that these anti-war nuts want so badly for their ill conceived fantasy that 1) the military is evil and 2) we're killing thousands of civilians to be true that they don't even bother checking the sources of such unbelievable testimony. The intro to the article gives them away:
***********
“If the video gets widespread exposure, it is unfathomable that support for a US troop presence in Iraq could be sustained, and surely Iran would fall off the chickenhawks’ table of targets. It is a video that should number the days of the Bush administration."
AND
Jessie MacBeth admit to the Stygian depths of depravity and evil that US service personnel have sunk:
***********
EXPOSED. The heart of the anti-war movement is about getting rid of Pres. Bush, discrediting the military and crushing public support for the war effort.
If Ray "Nefarious" Nagan can be a poser, why not this melon-heeeded dork!
(impersonating anyone in the military is a crime - impersonating an officer is worse, especially if you are active duty)

PART I--CRIMES
CHAPTER 33--EMBLEMS, INSIGNIA, AND NAMES
Title 18 Sec. 702. Uniform of armed forces and Public Health Service
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+18USC702
::TEXT::
Whoever, in any place within the jurisdiction of the United States or in the Canal Zone, without authority, wears the uniform or a distinctive part thereof or anything similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of any of the armed forces of the United States, Public Health Service or any auxiliary of such, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
And, there ya are. Oh, and last year there was something known as the "Stolen Valour Act" which really needs to get passed (H.R. 3352). There is a petition and such up to be signed. Alas, I think the date has expired and nothing has happened. This House Resolution was set to ammend Title 18 Section 704, which reads as follows:
Title 18 Sec. 704. Military medals or decorations
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+18USC704
::TEXT::
(a) In General.--Whoever knowingly wears, manufactures, or sells any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof, except when authorized under regulations made pursuant to law, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
This is something that I looked at many 'nagins' ago when we caught him wearing the uniform. He is subject to Title 18 prosecution. But, who's gonna go after the guy when so many Democrats hate the military.
Oh well, watch them throw the book at the melon-heed and Nagin walks. Figures.
"Heed! Heed! Move dat ee-normuss noggin!"
For those that like to read legal-ese, you can see the sections related to defacing Old Glory (Section 700), wearing the uniform of any US Military rank (Section 702), and finally people that say the earned or wear on their fake uniform(s) any medal issued for acts of valor (Section 704).
Just for kicks - ya know? Maybe one of you'll need the resource, so, grab the links from here or over at my "home".
Take care all, and, God Bless!

We need to start a petition and nab this guy.
Oh, and I found Jesse Macbeth IN UNIFORM misrepresenting himself on an internet dating site! I'll post photos later.
These people are pathetic and morally bankrupt. I hope this exposes them for what they are: true liars.
I notice not even Cobra is defending the punk.
Bish isn't the liar, the critics are proven to be the liars over and over again.
Amy, as I was reading the article, I asked my hubby (former GI) if it was illegal to impersonate army personnel? He had said, "yes." Then I was reading the comments and I love the info Fix gave.
Can these people be more anti-American? What is their major malfunction?
I am sorry I am with Johnny, I will not pollute your site with my true feelings, why should I stoop to more name-calling and wind up in the same brain-dead place as the left-moonbats. Ooops!! I just did!! lol!! hee, hee.
