📥: “CWO Julian Bell released his story that the CG is too ashamed to share. He was sexually assaulted, and the Coast Guard failed to prosecute, now his rapist is set to retire while Julian advocates for reform in the service.” Julian is one of the names I edited in yesterday’s Issue Paper that was released. The Coast Guard is afraid to release these videos for fear they’ll get more questions from Congress, so Julian put it out himself. https://vimeo.com/947257795/7e22ad6508?share=copy

Apparently our troops and entire foreign policy apparatus in Niger were put in danger by an incompetent diplomat who over played her hand. It’s wild how much authority we’ve lost abroad in only a few years. https://headlineusa.com/bidens-girlboss-state-dept-official-got-the-u-s-booted-from-niger/

I’m a bit triggered by SECNAV’s comments yesterday, so I’m on a vaccine kick. Forgive me. Also, you should learn how vaccines USED to handle DNA vs how mRNA handles them. Using old vaccine regulations to administer mRNA (which isn’t a vaccine, but I digress) is dumb. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dna-contamination-pfizer-covid-vaccine-exceeded-500-times-allowable-levels/

You catch the SECNAV saying he has no regrets about the destruction he’s brought to the Navy? Classy fella right here. https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2024/05/16/secretary-of-navy-no-regrets-about-firing-covid-vaccine-n2396304

Continuation…👆 In a Coast Guard Issue Paper dated April 29, 2024 from the Commandant’s office, the issue of “survivor storyteller videos” was discussed with various departments voicing their concerns. The purpose of the videos is to “showcase one method survivors may use to help heal following a sexual assault, let other survivors know they are not alone and need not be ashamed of what happened to them, and serve as a training tool to assist the workforce with better understanding the reality and lasting impact of sexual assault and harassment.” (I’m not sure if the proximity of dates between the Subcommittee letter and the Issue Paper are related, though I find it unlikely they’re not.) Some of the listed concerns are specifically in regards to interest from congressional committees such as the one listed above and the likelihood they’ll ask for further information about the cases. Public Affairs is most concerned about context not being provided for their survivor stories, the potential for their stories to be tied to Operation Fouled Anchor, and the potential to make the Coast Guard look like they’re in the midst of a sexual assault crisis despite the reality that they ARE in the middle of a sexual assault crisis due to their “mishandling” of decades of assaults.

On Tuesday, May 14, an anonymous email account sent an email to US Coast Guard District 8. The email leveled numerous accusations at leadership for covering up sex crimes as well as against the alleged perpetrators themselves. After several hours, the email was deleted from the servers. The same message popped up on Facebook the next day under the user name “Whistler McGee.” While the allegations are shocking in their severity and specificity, allegations of this nature against leadership’s handling of sexual assault and harassment investigations aren’t new. The Commandant of the Coast Guard was sent a letter from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on April 25, 2024. An inquiry was initiated into the “mishandling of sexual assault and sexual harassment cases at the United States Coast Guard Academy as well as the United States Coast Guard’s failure to notify Congress about the conclusion of Operation Fouled Anchor.” Admiral Linda Fagan, Commandant of the CG, is set to appear before the Subcommittee on May 21, 2024. (Operation Fouled Anchor is the name of a 2020 internal investigation by the Coast Guard that examined 102 allegations of sexual assault at the Coast Guard Academy from 1990 to 2006. The investigation found that the academy often mishandled these cases, and that the high ranking officials ignored or covered up sexual abuse. The report was finalized in 2020 but was kept secret until last year.) The Subcommittee letter states the Coast Guard has failed to be transparent and cooperative. It states they identified “over 1.8m pages of potentially responsive records,” yet of the 800,000 pages the Coast Guard reviewed, “only 25,000 to 30,000 pages of records have been identified as responsive” with only a fraction of those sent to the Office of General Counsel of the Department of Homeland Security. They claim they’ve received only 12,200 pages “which includes a significant number of duplicated documents and heavily redacted records.” Continued….👇

I’ll post the content of that tweet here in a bit. If you have X, go take a look right now.

Messaging about PLA targeting troops for espionage purposes is getting pushed out. Standard messaging, but it still gives me pause for thought about the escalation in the pacific.
