LIEUTENANT DRAFTS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
HE HOPED PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD SIGN
On December 15, 2017, the lieutenant drafted an EXECUTIVE ORDER dated Christmas Eve 2017, as he was hoping for a Christmas present from the President. Given the layers of gatekeepers the President had around him, the lieutenant knew his effort was a long shot, to be sure.
The Executive Order was designed to be only a template that would reactivate the lieutenant back into the military for a new court-martial, a court-martial that hopefully would not be as nearly manipulated as the one before.
The lieutenant still retains written proof the Navy denied him basic legal rights to an attorney afforded to all accused. To get the conviction the Navy so desperately desired, the Navy had to break their own laws, to which they brazenly admitted to in in a naval message.
Because of the Navy’s manipulation of the UCMJ and MCM, the court (and jury) did not hear about the stark differences between the regular and reserve navies, especially with regards to fraternization and the routine padding of travel claims.
Nor was the court aware of the massive corruption occurring on the base, which the lieutenant and Chief Petty Officer Michael Tufariello were attempting to stop through exposure.
Regardless whether they admit it or not, he regular and reserve Navies are very different. The mission is completely different and the method to achieve their respective missions are different as well, whether the Navy wants to admit it or not.
Asking the President to sign an executive order for a new trial was indeed a long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. After all the screw-ups in the Navy that pulled President Trump in to fix, the President was becoming more and more reluctant to become entangled in any military related controversy.
But, the lieutenant had tried virtually everything else. Asking President Trump for help was the only thing the lieutenant had not tried.
A Presidential Pardon just is not appropriate in this case, because it does not correct the wrong. A pardon is only a “forgiveness,” and nothing more. A Presidential pardon would do little to address the wrongs the Navy committed against the lieutenant and his loyal chief petty officer Michael Tufariello.
THE RESPONSE
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE NAVY
On March 5, 2018, the lieutenant received his RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. The letter basically said, ‘we sent your letter to the Navy and in the meantime, if you have any other questions, don’t send us any more mail… just contact 1-800-FED-INFO.’ On March 19, 2018, the Navy sent their reply in a LETTER from Commander Amanda R. Myers.
At this point, the lieutenant decided to make no more attempts seeking a resolution to the Navy’s sham court-martial. On the day he received the letter, (MARCH 26, 2018) from Commander Myers, he made the decision to devote the rest of his life fighting for justice on behalf of other people and to strive for meaningful reforms in the military.
The multi-tiered military judicial system that results in different spanks for different ranks is absolutely unacceptable. It’s a policy and a system that must and needs to be changed, otherwise, we need to remove the credo of “Equal Justice Under Law” from the fascia of the United States Supreme Court.
Simply stated, it’s wrong to use a judicial system to silence whistle-blowers, and to let an admiral or general retire to avoid prosecution for criminal misconduct. The lieutenant decided to make no further communication with the military or the VA concerning his discharge.
DECISION MADE
At this point, the lieutenant decided to pour all his efforts into building the MilitaryCorruption.com website and market it as much as funds will allow. The lieutenant was under no delusion. Even if he had the money of Bill Gates, it would be difficult to make a dent in a system so entrenched and occasionally frequently corrupt.
The lieutenant now dedicated the rest of his life to expose corruption and criminal misconduct in the military, especially by the upper echelons who are many times using the judicial system to silence whistle-blowers. Hopefully, the lieutenant’s efforts to expose military corruption will serve as a warning to all those considering service to America in the military.
The bottom line is that you never know what law the military will enforce on any given day, or on whom those laws apply. The young men and women considering military service are forewarned of the multi-tiered judicial system that allows the admirals and generals to retire to avoid prosecution.
Many people are wrongfully punished in the military because the military judicial system is so easily manipulated. Some are completely innocent, while others are over-sentenced by juries who feel pressured to exact revenge for the convening authority.
And if the military has a honest and innocent person exposing criminal misconduct, they may elect to use a psychiatric examination and incarceration in a mental hospital to discredit his charges of malfeasance.
The military judicial system is designed, not on the basis of Equal Justice Under Law, but rather, it’s designed to protect the military system above all else. It’s not based on the rights of the accused, but the protection of the military’s ability to deal with “problem children” in a quick and effective way. So much of it is wrong and needs to be completely overhauled. For specifics on suggested changes, it’s recommended readers view the website: MilitaryReform.com
