On 10 NOV 2017, a military jury found a Iraq occupation vet, and Drill Instructor (DI), guilty of punching, kicking and choking U.S. Muslim recruits in his charge, one of those U.S. Muslims killed himself. The DI was reduced down in rank to private, lost his pay and will spend ten years in a military prison: “Felix was accused in more than three dozen criminal counts of being a central figure in an abusive group of drill instructors at Parris Island that came to light after the March 2016 suicide of one of the three Muslim-American recruits Felix targeted.”-Associated Press

Does anybody remember the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan pissing contest, back in 2011?

Now-retired USMC General James Amos found guilty of ‘Unlawful Command Influence’ (UCI) regarding the 2011 incident, and as a result the conviction of a Marine sniper involved in the Afghan urinating case has been thrown out. The court ruled that General Amos used his authority to illegally influence events surrounding the case, and to focus the investigation unfairly on one particular sniper. Investigations into the UCI by General Amos also included his chief legal adviser, and a Major who resigned from the USMC.

The UCI case against James Amos is considered unprecedented in USMC history. But USMC violence is not unprecedented, its endemic.

My paternal grandfather is a prime example of a hardcore Marine whose only response to difficult situations, real or imagined, is to fight your way through.

O.G. Hutchins Junior spent 30+ years in the USMC, serving in World War Two, Korea and Vietnam. He also served as a DI and recruiter. He was so hardcore that after finally being forced to retire he furnished his bedroom in his Jackson, Mississippi, home with wall lockers and foot lockers, a hammock for the bed, and a huge Marine Corps flag covering one wall.

O.G. Hutchins, 30+ years hardcore Marine

O.G. Hutchins Jr, 30+ years hardcore Marine.

I remember one night in a drunken rage he broke a bowl made from walnut shells and began crying about it, saying it was made by one of his buddies in Vietnam. The next morning he accused me of breaking it, and my father had to intervene to stop him from beating me.

This wasn’t the first time my father stood up to his father. In the late 1950s, while my grandfather was stationed at Yermo Annex, in California, my father tried to protect his mother from being beaten and got beat himself. My grandmother could take being beaten by my grandfather, but seeing her son get beat was too much for her. She not only got a divorce but got a California arrest warrant issued for my grandfather. The Marine Corp protected him from arrest by shipping him outside The Golden State (which was typical back then).

But my father is guilty of being an abuser as well, yes he was a Marine. My father was a USMC BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) gunner for two years, before transferring to the U.S. Air Force in the early 1960s (you could do that then). Strangely, after the mid-1970s incident where my grandfather wanted to beat me for his breaking of his Vietnam buddies’ bowl, my father started abusing me whenever he got drunk. This lasted until the early 1980s when he tried to do it in front of some of my high-school friends. He grabbed me by the neck, made a fist with his free hand, and ordered me to call him ‘sir’. I looked him in the eyes, then looked at my friends, then back at my father and said “No.” and added “Go ahead.” Realizing there were witnesses he angrily backed off.

For a few years my mother didn’t believe me about my father’s abuse, until one day he did it in front of her. I believe that’s what finally lead her to divorce him, she began to fear him and claimed during the divorce trial that he threatened to kill her. She told me afterwards that she stayed in the marriage for as long as she did because she thought he loved his children, until he tried beating me in front of her. I have a sister and brother, but for some reason I was the only one he was abusing (as far as I know, I don’t communicate with my siblings), apparently I was what used to be called a Whipping Boy.

It was after my parents’ divorce that my paternal grandmother revealed the abuse at the hands of my grandfather. While my father and grandfather were both Marines there’s a major difference between them; my grandfather was honest about who he was, my father was a coward. My grandfather openly told people how he felt about them, how he hated ‘blacks’, how he hated Asians more than blacks, how he hated anybody who wasn’t a Marine (when I told him I joined the Army he cursed me, but later on after I got married and joined the Air Force he forgave me because he was happy at the chance of becoming a great grandfather).

O.G. Hutchins and fellow Marines somewhere in the Pacific

My grandfather honestly told me how, during World War Two, they would murder Japanese PoWs (Prisoners of War) and get away with it by claiming the PoWs were trying to escape (its legal to kill PoWs if they’re attempting to escape). They would unlock the PoW cage at night, and when the first prisoner opened the cage the Marines would open fire, on everybody in the cage.

O.G. Hutchins, tank commander M4 Sherman.

He also told me how they would kill women and children, and then blame the Japanese. There are plenty of reports of the U.S. military trying to help civilians on the islands they were capturing, one way was to drop leaflets telling civilians to surrender themselves to the U.S. forces. My grandfather said many times, at night, civilians would approach their front lines and try to cross the barbed wire only to be shot down in a hail of bullets as everybody in the unit would ‘open up’ with everything they had. He said in the morning all you’d see were the bodies of old people, women and children hanging the wire. But he was unphased because he was tired of pulling the bodies of his dead buddies from burned out tanks (he was a tank commander). The reason why the civilians approached at night was because the Japanese army had orders to shoot any civilian that tried to surrender, so they tried to surrender at night because the Japanese army was terrible at night operations. The Marine Corps reported that the civilians were being used as human shields by the Japanese army to probe U.S. defenses.

My grandfather had similar stories about Korea and Vietnam. He was brutally honest. My father was the opposite, a bold faced liar. He was still a ‘racist’, hated a lot of religions (he was raised Lutheran), would complain about government corruption yet as a civil servant joyously took part in ripping off taxpayers (he would actually brag to me about the latest gadget he acquired from the Air Force, without the Air Force knowing about it, or put in for every taxpayer funded education convention when he was a member of the Hesperia school board). My ‘black’ hating father could convince ‘blacks’ in church that he was ‘on their side’. At home my father would yell about corporate executives and politicians ruining the country, but then in public, when confronting them he suddenly became the biggest ass-kisser I ever saw! I think one reason my father started abusing me was because even as a child I was calling him out on his dishonesty (especially on government corruption and his civil service ‘crimes’, and his lies to black church members). My grandfather would never do that, instead he would risk getting arrested for assaulting people for being ‘in violation’ of his personal beliefs, he admitted to me that the reason he became a Marine was to get away from what he saw as a ‘corrupt’ civilian world.

While my father and grandfather were polar opposites regarding living an honest life, they were both Marines and both dealt with stressful situations with violence, because that’s how a Marine is made. Or is it? Is it possible that the United States Marine Corps attracts people who are already violent? It should be noted that even before O.G. Hutchins joined the Marines in the late 1930s he had a history of violence, even being occasionally shunned by the larger Hutchins clan of Mississippi because of it (that’s according to what my father said). One reason my grandfather joined the Marines was that he could never find decent paying work, but then it was the Great Depression. His brothers, Lloyd and Billy, joined the Army Air Force and served in Europe, apparently they didn’t have an anger management problem. My father was always a high achiever; an Eagle Scout, high scoring high-school graduate and a ‘letterman’, even getting an Associates Degree from Victor Valley College while working at Edwards AFB in the 1970s.

A couple of years before my grandfather’s death he had been barred from every VFW (Veterans Foreign Wars) post in the Jackson area, for causing fights (again, according to my father). He openly hated anybody who “wasn’t a Marine” or wasn’t ‘white’, at least I can respect him for living his brutal life openly and honestly.

Colorado shooting stopped by gun armed Walmart customers!

November 8, 2017 Hutchins AAron

Security camera image of shooter as he entered the Walmart

Anybody remember the recent shooting in Thornton, Colorado? Anybody remember the mainstream real fake news media telling you how the gunman was driven away by Walmart customers who drew their own guns on him?

Most mainstream real-fake news outlets said the gunman walked in, randomly shot people, and then suddenly left. Turns out that’s not what happened. The shooter left because gun-armed citizens drew-down on him: “Thornton police spokesman Victor Avila said Thursday that investigators reviewed store surveillance footage Wednesday night and saw ‘a few’ people inside the store who drew weapons in response to the gunfire.“-The Associated Press

The left-wing-liberal-fake-news The Denver Post, citing taxpayer funded anti-gun police-state cops, accused the citizens defending themselves saying they “ultimately delayed the investigation” by ‘forcing’ police to watch the videos. That’s a bold faced lie! Fact, security camera video clearly shows who did the shooting, and who was protecting themselves! Ultimate Fact, police would have had to watch that video anyway, it’s their job!

Here’s another fact, the shooting was done and over before police arrived, possibly because shoppers drew guns on the shooter! It took five hours for cops to make an official public announcement as to what was going on, but local TV station KUSA 9News explained the real reason for the ‘delayed investigation’, quoting the same police spokesperson that anti-gun The Denver Post paraphrased: “We had hundreds of people self-evacuating from a large establishment so we’ve got people leaving, we’ve got cars leaving so we’ve got officers out there trying to be able to cordon off the area to determine that’s an actual suspect that’s leaving. We did that as quickly as we could. Again, we had to render the area safe. We can’t just send somebody in — an employee from Walmart — to start reviewing the footage. So once we were able to safely allow a Walmart employee in to start going over the footage, we had detectives come in and we started to go over the footage.”–Victor Avila, public information officer Thornton Police

Here’s something else KUSA 9News discovered, all Walmart security camera video can be accessed remotely through the company’s Arkansas HQ: “Staff at the headquarters can share the images and video with police when requested, so investigators don’t need to wait to enter a store.”

So again, anti-gun real-fake news The Denver Post is full of shit!

November 7, 2017 Hutchins AAron

SKYROCKETING PORK SALES IN CHINA MEANS SKYROCKETING PRICES IN UNITED STATES?

Nothing to cry about: Onion crop yields in Idaho and Oregon are 30% smaller compared to last year, resulting in less of a supply, causing a doubling of prices for consumers (50 pound bag yellow onions now averaging $10, last year it was $5.50). The smaller harvest is blamed on the weather.

USAF failed to comply with law, enabling Texas church shooter!

Many anti-2nd Amendment nuts once again call for more laws, refusing to recognize that existing laws were ignored by the United States Air Force! The man who attacked the Sutherland Springs church in Texas had a criminal military background, that under current U.S. law should have been passed onto the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) but was not. That info would have prevented the man from buying guns legally. The ‘christian’ dominated U.S. Air Force claims it is investigating to find out why they didn’t comply with federal law.

The openly anti-2nd Amendment PBSNewsHour reported that witnesses said the Texas church shooter was dressed in black and wearing a skull mask on his face. This type of ‘uniform’ is typical of what was seen during the U.S.-EU-NATO backed coup in Ukraine.

U.S.-EU-NATO backed Ukrainian personnel, from the first year of the war (2014-2015)

Usually, during wars the symbol of the skull has been used mainly by right wing/nationalist groups/units. The skull has also become the symbol of some U.S. mercenary organizations (legally called military contractors, or security contractors), especially the group known as Craft International.

Also, the shooters in the 2015 San Bernardino, California, incident were described as wearing military style tactical clothing. Witnesses also insisted there were at least three shooters, all men, contrary to what the official police report said.

Similar witness reports were made during the recent Las Vegas, Nevada, shootings. Initially even police on the scene described multiple shooters (I remember from reading their own ‘live’ social media posts, which law enforcement administrators later denied that such posts were made). The official timeline of events repeatedly changed in the days afterwards. And what’s the true reason why a hotel security guard, supposedly key in the establishment of the timeline, went missing for days before suddenly appearing on a TV talk show! Many witnesses posted on social media their own video reports challenging the official series of events. Also, Why Did the Islamic State Claim the Las Vegas Shooting?

Ever since the War on Terror began, mass shooters in the U.S. have used the same inefficient low power assault rifle based on the old (and crappy) Vietnam era AR-15/M-16. The mainstream news media, and even police-state cops, call the weapon “high-power”, I’ve shown before that it is not a true high-power weapon.

Perhaps because of strict anti-2nd Amendment laws California cops are now being targeted by gun thieves.

It’s been revealed that on 03 NOV 2017 a San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputy lost his shotgun, rifle, ammunition and bullet-proof vest when thieves broke into his ‘unmarked’ cop car while he was attending a meeting held by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Local news media intimated that the deputy failed to follow rules about ‘locking down’ guns in his car, despite being a deputy for 15 years.

This is not the first time California cops had their guns stolen. In 2016 the Bay Area News Group published the results of their investigation into thieves targeting California cops’ guns. The report is titled Disarmed and dangerous: Officers across the Bay Area and state are losing firearms at an astonishing rate — and the consequences can be deadly.

California has some of the most strict anti-2nd Amendment laws of any U.S. state, yet the laws didn’t stop a church shooting in Fresno.

On 05 NOV 2017, a man and woman were shot and killed behind the Saint Alphonsus Church. Police say it was an upset estranged husband who shot and killed his wife and her boyfriend. The shooter apparently admitted to the deed in text messages to his daughter, right before killing himself.
