Greg Cheesedick Banks in the news
So, as Oathkeeper has been telling you, Greg Banks gets the fame for which he hungered;
State Rep. Jack Hennessy said he can sum up the need for the stolen valor bill he’s supporting at the Connecticut General Assembly in two words: Greg Banks.
“It just robs the valor of the men and woman who wear the uniform,” Hennessy said.
Hennessy added that the allegations involving Banks were “very much” upsetting.
The bill existed before the I-Team exposed the counselor who’s been posing as a member of the United States Army Special Forces. Hennessy cited the investigation by the I-Team as an example of why it’s needed.
Jack Hennessy was my room mate in the 1st Battalion 75th Rangers about 40 years ago, so yes, he is a tabbed Ranger. And, yes, I put the bug in someone’s ear about him.
“When I was a Ranger, I knew that I could be called by my country to go into a combat zone to give up my life and I was willing to do that,” Hennessy said. “To have people who have not been in the military to pose as that, it takes away from the people who have actually made their commitment and some the ultimate commitment giving their lives.”
Since the original story by I-Team aired, the station has heard from multiple people who had counseling sessions with Banks at his offices in Farmington and in Danbury and all believed at the time that he was a soldier.
A man, who saw Banks for marriage counseling, said he often canceled appointments saying he had last-minute missions overseas.
A woman, who was ordered by a court to see Banks for substance abuse counseling, said he told her he worked with the United States Army Special Forces and the Brookfield Police Department.
Banks does live in Brookfield, but the local police chief told the I-Team his department has never had any contact with Banks.
We’re still waiting for our apology, Greg. An apology for stealing valor, an apology for Alex’ threatening phone calls, an apology for the lies in your emails about someone stealing your identity. An apology for thinking we’re so stupid that we’d fall for any of it. And an apology to your patients, and you need to give them a pass for canceling their appointments after the TV report aired the first time. F*ck nut.

Cheesedick, hmmm? I like it.
greggy boy, you didn’t want to appear on TV to play? But I thought that was why you wore your phony military uniform crap, to draw some attention to yourself. You’ve got the limelight now, don’t you want to come out with little alex to play???
When did Jack leave the Regiment? I only ask because I went to Jumpmaster school while in 1st Battalion with a guy named Hennessey. Trying to find my damn orders but painting going on.
I think he left in 1977. He was an O5B. The platoon RTO.
AWESOME! Gweggwy had to play it his way. Congrats loser.
An apology? That would be an admission of guilt. Good luck with this phony phuck. Don’t hold your breath.
Best possible outcome.
Well, a few slots opened up on his calendar if you need to make an appointment.
Nice job by WFSB.
Banks, you egg suckin’ dog… Eat shit & die.
Bedwetter.
BRAVO ZULU TO YOU, MR. JACK HENNESSY, for your effort in getting that Bill on the floor in the CT Legislature, and the same to ALL who made Gregory C. Banks’s lies blow up on him like the A-Bombs dropped on Japan. If I ever get the honor and pleasure of meeting any of you face to face, I hope it happens in an establishment that serves adult beverages, your bar tab will be on me!!
Banks–to paraphrase the words of the great poet-warrior Shaq-Fu:
“Greggy how’s my ass taste?”
I posted a comment recently on BerNasty and the wrath he brought upon himself in the ‘GoatLocker’ community. I was amazed at the ferocity, and mentioned how deep and wide and unforgiving that particular community is. TAH is much deeper and wider even than that. Every spectrum is online here. I first came here when pink-whomever was protesting bre-anna incarcerated at the brig here in Q-ville. Think I used a pre-retirement monnicer of redneckerson or something. TAH has become a formidable beast. The truth shall set you free. Or F’k up your life forever. Pose in a CAP program? Got experts here. LE? Yep, here too. Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes. I’ve got my ready-to-ship ‘bug-pack’ of info because I post here, and somewhere down the line, someone is going to say CWORet who? And I better be JOTS with the info. ‘Cause y’all scare me a bit. Not too much, not physically (because I’m a tan belt ninja and stuff), but yea, a little bit.
Wow the power of TAH at its finest. At first, nobody was listening…then you all took it to him. He probably thought he was gonna get away with it. Surprising that he would go somewhere in Danbury and drive all the way up to farmington (hoping nobody actually saw him up in my neck of the woods in northern CT/Lower MA)
His career all but over counseling. I wonder if he is going to move out of CT and try to start over elsewhere.
@12–put it another way–I’m not a Chief. I never was. I tested for it, had a package in front of the CPO board for my last 3 years in, but didn’t get selected.
But I’m not the least bit bitter about it. Because while I’ve seen some shitty Chiefs, I’ve seen some really outstanding ones. I know what they go through. I know that those anchors they wear are HEAVY.
And when someone who isn’t fit to carry the jock of a half-assed Seaman Apprentice tries to pretend he is part of the backbone of the Navy, that of the Chief’s Mess, it’s not just those who wear the fouled anchors he insults, it’s everyone who understands, respects, and appreciates what the CPO community stands for.
And why? Fuck him, that’s why. And Banks is no different. He is an affront to any who have served, he is an insult to who he pretends to be without paying the price for what he wears. Banks doesn’t deserve our pity, our forgiveness, and we sure as fuck won’t forget. Not him, not any of them, not now, not ever.
Fuck ’em all.
C2, I have no doubt about that, and I don’t think it’ll be ANY problem finding out wherever he/it goes, all one has to do is FOLLOW THE SLIME TRAIL he leaves behind him/it!!
Proud Infidel…I bet he only moves two states away. He will probably end up in Ohio or something. If he was smart, he would try to move to a place like Alaska or New Mexico.
How do you like that, Greggee Boyee?
Plus you are attempting to charge former clients, citing your policy for cancelling appointments.
You are a cheap whore that wears cheap perfume.
And I enjoyed taking you out!
Next!
I would love to take everyone of these special snowflakes on a ride through an EOD alley with live fire going on.
Cheesedick? Eeeeeee
Maybe I should call and make an appointment.
I need to feel good about myself.
Cannot thank Jonn and this site enough…you folks are rockstars.
@16, C2, you’re probably right! I want him/it to STAY OUT OF FLORIDA, our State already has FAR too many posers!!
@18, Ex-PH2, SHIT!! I WOULD LOVE TO invent a time/place machine that I could use to take that sniveling snotnosed bucket of wet poodle shit with me on some of the missions I was part of in A-stan, they would have to fill him/it up with Thorazine and put the little wussnoramus in a strait jacket afterward!!
GREGORY C. BANKS THE FAKE SF OFFICER, I have FAR more respect for a DOG TURD on the sidewalk than I do for YOU and all other posers!!
Congratulations to all who are shining the spotlight on this despicable turd. Keep up the pressure until he publically apologizes and/or goes to jail.
@Ex-PH2, I should’ve said “AAAWWW, SHIT!” Any chance of having an “edit” option in the future? I’d love to have that option to get rid of some embarrassign mistaiks!!
Oath Keeper … Nice work!
Proud, I haven’t yet seen the movie ‘Ride Along’, but I think that something like that is what these blowhards need.
I didn’t finish my reaction to ‘cheesedick’, because I hit the tab button so here it is: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk!
I saw one of them California RPGs in that video clip
To quote the one female newsie “I don’t think we have seen the end of this.” The Masons broke it off in his ass, now the state will probably yank his certification.
The asshole was probably snickering and eating up all the attention while he was strutting around playing Major.
MCPO – you were and are a major player in this…I cannot thank you enough either!
What is epically hilarious to me is that even people in his hometown grocery store and AutoZone outed him too.
This guy is like a Chevy…he runs DEEP in this scam.
Great coverage! “I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this, have we?”— said the news anchor!
–ghp
Burn him to ashes. Dump ashes in a septic tank. Gregory Banks the total phony. Joe
“When I-Team talked to people at the counseling office for Banks in Farmington, they insisted he was a member of the United States Army Special Forces, a job so secret they asked us to not to report about it. “ (Eyewitness News 3, Man accused of posing as a veteran. Feb 24, 2014)
Don’t these suckers ever ask themselves. “If this information is so secret, why is he sharing it with us?”
All I can say is Great Job !! It doesn’t look like the news team is going to let this asshat get away with anything he has done, thanks to the work of TAH. Special Thanks to the Mason who turned him in and their quick action to expel him.
@12: Yeah, I was lucky, or un-lucky (depending on your POV), enough to have known Jonn and COB6 before this blog started and have had my paperwork gone over by 3 of the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse (Jonn, TSO, and Mr. Wolf….COB6 wasn’t there) in person, plus, I forced them all to have a beer or I was gonna moon them. I never saw guys down a beer in one pull so fast in my life……………………..
IOW; you’re in good company with this crew.
Been watching this bastards story with great interest. Hot Damn. I’m completely amazed,impressed, and proud of the teamwork of you all. Excellent. Just Friggin EXCELLENT!
Used a phony deployment to cancel appointments with mental health patients? Oh no, that’s not unethical. And I love how all these phonies get these short-notice, top-secret, one-week deployments. I’ve lost count of how many them use that one.
@36: my favorite poser “short-notice deployment” story came from kendude crotchrot from last year, when the fake SF colonel from Utah pretended he was being called up to go to Afghanistan, and then moved into his RV on the other side of town to hide out until he thought it was time to redeploy and “come home”…
Its party time get him on 60 minets
Good Job outing this guy. I live in CT, so anytime I get to see one of these guys get dragged down, especially by the media in my state, I go to bed with a smile on my face.
OT: They didn’t go through my paperwork, but TSO knows my name from when I got him on Camp Atterbury for an article. With the way things are I’m pretty sure he at least looked me up on AKO.
For me, the best part of the video is the part at the end where the reporter says that the CT state Department of Health now has received enough of a complaint to investigate Banks and go after his license (or words to that effect).
Were the discounts, free meals, and ill-gotten respect worth it, Greggie-boi? Were they?
Hope you’ve got a hefty bank account, Banks. I think you’re gonna need it soon.
#37: Crotchrot! Ah yes, a fine specimen of shitbaggery. It was great having the Mom of the kid he used dumping on him. Thanks for bringing him to the forefront of my memory.
This guy could have ended it the day that this hit. Now his job is going to be effected.
#43 Army Medical–
AS the Dickweeds here are fond of saying: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@43 Good, I hope his Job and credibility are ruined and he ends up sleeping in a box. Sounds harsh right? He is a thief, plain and simple. Stolen Valor doesn’t hurt anyone, well except his patients, his family, his community. It cast doubt on every real veteran.
I don’t really like the term stolen valor. It makes it sound like there are a lot of vets pissed off because this guy is wearing medals he didn’t earn. He is in every way an identity thief.
Society would be up in arms if he were walking around pretending to be a Police officer or fire fighter. But because its military, its ok.
I just sent the following to my Legislative Delegation here in Washington State:
Gentlemen, I am writing you today on the subject of Stolen Valor. As you may know the federal government recently passed another Stolen Valor Act that makes it illegal for someone to make false claims of military service or valorous awards in order to make financial gains. I ask that you propose a similar act for the State of Washington, to make it easier to prosecute these scum. Right now it is a federal law, and if my understanding of the world is correct, the FBI would have to make an arrest and the US Attorney would have to prosecute. I would like it if local police and prosecutors could have that same ability. Here is an example of what I am talking about from a news story in Connecticut that is driving a legislator there to introduce a similar bill: http://www.wfsb.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=9876947 Respectfully, Atkron Concerned Veteran
@27, J.O.D., Yeah, and I’m betting there’s more to come from that group! The Masons are tightly networked, and I foresee his license getting revoked as well as his business going down the tubes!!
“Hi, you’ve reached Greg Banks Counseling…sorry I can’t come to the phone right now….”
@47, Yep Masons are not a group of guys you want to piss off. When I went to the Job Fair to get my gig in the Shipyard it was held at the Scottish Rite Center in San Diego. The Masons had rented the place out to NASSCO There were about 1500 people that showed up.
One of the Masons, an older, but spry gentleman was there to keep an eye on the facilities. There was some low-class foul-mouthed chick there with her boyfriend ( who was the one applying) She had food in a carpeted area and the Mason told her that food was not allowed on carpeted areas. She rolled her eyes and left the area but was talking trash the entire time.
About 10 minutes later two SDPD officers came in and snatched up both her and her boyfriend for outstanding warrants. I don’t know if the Mason was retired SDPD or what, I just thought it was a helluva a coincidence that out of all the people with Warrants in the city ( and there are thousands) this chick and her boyfriend got snatched up within minutes of getting on the wrong side of freemasonry. As another interesting tidbit I was looking at some of the pictures on the wall and found out Ernest Borgnine the actor was a Freemason and very involved in the group.
Fellas, as a Master Freemason, I can tell you that we have a tough time arranging a pancake breakfast locally let alone ruling the world.
That being said, when you step into our Lodge with a fake Army uniform, you will be removed from the Grand Lodge with haste and permanently.
This makes a mediocre work day into a rather nice afternoon….one of my co-workers copied the local story on this for me as I am just north of this and the Avon VFW has a few members who are aware of this shit head…I will make sure he and they get this link.
Victim less crime my ass….stealing honor and valor might not have a monetary price tag(the karmic price tag is pretty high), but the deeds that go along with stolen valor usually do…
