AE911 in bed with convicted Sex Offender?

[Muc]

What's the one hanging around his neck?

The ribbon and the cross shape of the medal look somewhat similar to the 2nd medal from the right in the bottom row of his bling display, whatever that one is. Maybe two versions of the same medal?

In the UK Ex Servicemen don't ever wear their old uniforms unless it old cammo gear for doing the gardening or going fishing. If they join the British Legion they get to wear a Blazer with any decorations and Beret a Beret with their old regimental badge on special occasions.

The best award builder site that I found (for US military) is here: http://ultimaterack.ajandj.com/

It has all branches and even most National Guard awards, and puts them in the proper order based on the most recent service that you were in (if multiple).

Here's mine:

The oak leaf clusters on the bottom left ribbon should actually be a number 4.

Pretty cool, huh? I wonder if the Twoof-tards would believe everything that I told them.

You get a lot of badges in the US.

Under 14?? WTF is wrong with people???

Does it really surprise you? In Halifax this month, 400 male and female students chanted a song about raping underage girls. Apparently this is a regular part of their frosh event, and is so at many universities. UBC Commerce students also have a similar chant. But they do it out of the public eye now. What does raping girls have to do with a university education? But this apparently is the culture that has been passed down through generations. It's inexplicable.

I hear professional skeptic and sub-par 9/11 bedunker Michael Shermer is having a few problems of his own. And that this is not a first for the so-called skeptic community.

Might be a Silver Star. The ribbon colours are certainly right.
Naturally, he's not listed on the usual medal recipients' sites - it's a conspiracy to suppress TEH TROOF!!

From Wiki:

The Medal of Honor is one of only two military neck order awards and is the only neck order that is awarded to members of the armed forces. The other, the Commander's Degree of the Legion of Merit, is presented to foreign dignitaries.

It is not the Medal of Honor or the Legion of Merit, so it is not a US military award. I have no idea what it is.

And if it was either medal, he would be listed under the appropriate recipient list.

I've been around a while. Over 25 years in two services, Navy and Army. Don't ask...

You're right, though. If one were to join the US Army and do one combat deployment, after three years they would have at least six different awards. A National Guard soldier would have at least seven after three years.

This doesn't include awards for merit or valor.

Yes, the appropriate Navy term being "geedunk ribbons".

WTF does a ridiculous chant at a University in Canada have to do with Richard Gage or the kiddie diddler? Gage has known this scum bag for at least a year yet failed to:

-Confirm the pedophiles service and awards in the US Marines.
-Confirm the pedophiles (5) engineering degrees.
-Realize that this sack of **** is a convicted sex offender - that he sexually abused a little girl.

Again - this douche bag- fake Marine should be in jail, and Gage should be humiliated for allowing him to take the stage in NYC.

Is that a comment on the state of the society, or a defense of the person in question?

If its the former, yes I agree, such cavalier attitude towards rape is to be condemned and work must be done to change it.

However, I sincerly doubt that a large percentage of the students involved will ever actually commit rape/sexual assault and if they do they are open to personal condemnation, as is this guy and Gage should be distancing himself from him.

In addition though, despite the disgusting act which he has been convicted of, it has little to do with finding any 'truth'. On this matter though, the veracity of his service claims do matter. Why is it then that he has his ribbons in the wrong order? Why does he wear these ribbons on combat uniform? Why does he not have rank insignia? Can he produce docuementation of his service?
If in fact he is a fraud then any organization searching for 'truth' of anything would do well to disavow any relation to that person. In fact I would say that confirming the veracity of people you will be putting on stage should be of paramount concern to any group in a search for any form of 'truth'.

You will be judged by the company you keep. Perhaps not fair but that is the way of the world.

That's like gettiong punished twice for the same thing...

All kidding aside, thank you for your service. I've only did six in the army, so if you want to call me a slacker, have at it

Even in terms of truther non-sequiturs, that was a weak effort. Quick - look over here! College kids have a weird ritual. Pay no attention to the child molesting fake marine on stage with our hero!

Yeah, but it isn't like ae911truth has financial or human resources to vet people, right?

What do frosh week chants about raping underage girls have to do with your shock and dismay about a "kiddie diddler"? You don't understand that connection? You think that sexual violence exists in only certain sectors of society, and not in the so-called skeptic community? You don't see this as a widespread problem that needs to be addressed, but instead as a 'lone nutter' problem where one person needs to be locked up? Or a problem that you can try and pin on twooferism?

I'm just pointing out the disingenuity of your outrage.

 

[jaydeehess]

ohhh wellll if the verification team has clered him then that's all ok then.
still,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, why does a Marine not seem to care about how his ribbons are arranged? Would seem to me that after after several years of getting yelled at by superior officers for having your ribbons arranged wrong that you would learn to do it right. It would feel odd and uncomfortable to wear them wrong. Like not wearing a seat belt after years of obeying the law to do so.

I pointed out the reasons why one should be highly suspicious of this man.
In the part of my post that dealt with his sexual conviction (as opposed to a chant) I also opined that convicted sex offenders would not lend any cache to any organization in a search for 'truth'.

Want to address that or continue the societal observations? I prefer the former and will not discuss the later as I do not wish to see more of my posts go to AAH for derail.

I'm not so sure the verification team did a solid job on this guy. I'm not finding a confirmation of his degree source, and his actual service in the USMC still needs to be validated. Someone on the "This ain't hell" forum mentioned they have a FOIA request in regarding his service. A copy of his DD 214 would go a long way toward answering any doubts.

Does AE911T have a list of his degrees?
Can they be checked?
Six degrees at 3-4 years of study a piece is 18- 24 years of study. (assuming all undergrad degrees) Even if he doubled up and got double degrees three times that's 9-12 years of study.
No doctorates? Doesn't call himself a 'Doctor' so possibly not. So if its three bachelor's and three masters one would expect at extreme, very least, 15 years of study.

When did he have time to serve overseas?
