Gregory Charles Banks; the phony just passing through

| January 13, 2014

Gregory Banks

So one of our readers is a Mason up in Connecticut and this dude passes through his lodge on the way back from his combat assignments. Sometimes he’s in ACUs, other times he’s wearing his blues, like in the picture above. Of course, he’s Special Forces (isn’t everyone, these days) and in addition to his duties as an Army officer, he’s also a counselor with two offices. The man is a freakin’ machine.

Gregory Banks Counselor

Well, he didn’t turn up in any of my databases, but, you know, he’s probably so secret squirrel that he wouldn’t, but CID can’t find him either. Nor can NPRC;

Gregory Banks FOIA

We’re told that his lodge just threw him a big celebration for his recent award of the Bronze Star Medal so obviously, he loves attention – so here is all of the attention you could ever want, Greg-baby. It looks to me like he stole a midget’s jacket.

Added; more pics;

Banks, Greg C.

I emailed these pictures to our counselor friend, Greg Charles Banks and asked if these are not him in the photos, and he hasn’t answered back. I guess he’s going with “identity theft” as an explanation.

OK, I just got an email from him and he admits that this is him in this picture taken at the lodge not wearing the uniform;

I don’t know, you judge.

@98…… Yep it’s him our major-minor Aka colonel of the urinal.

Found another pic of asshat with his fellow lodge members wearing guess what? Second row first pic, so this dick is definitely lying about identity theft. I have not scanned all the pic that are posted on this facebook page.

Jonn,

Tell him to take a me ee, I ee or a self ee and send to you for comparison. You know … Like we need to do it at this point.

But fire away …

Next step, check out the degree. When your a poser-embellisher, there’s always something else. After all, it’s part of the poser handbook

Now Farmington & Danbury are not that close to MA so why is he at a Massachusetts Mason Lodge. Got a call out to a friend who is big in the Masons here in MA, I’ll post up if he has any info..

I agree have him do a Selfie and send it to you Jonn, that should clear it up pretty quick !

Combat Historian

From a retired O-5 to a fake O-4: Take off that f-king uniform, you clown. May you lose your certifications and be kicked out of the Masons. And oh, by th way, fuck you…

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Jonn,

I got it all figured out.

OK … We have photos of a person in uniform who looks exactly like Greg Banks at the lodge. And Greg Banks has admitted that he is in lodge photo (standing in back on his own left) above and he is not wearing a uniform.

Based on this information alone, there is only one logical explanation.

There is an impersonator of Greg Banks who has the same birth date, exacting appearance and he seems to frequent the same places the REAL Greg Banks is seen at.

So, I have solved the case.

Admitted to the pic outside of the uniform – double chin and all!

@ #110: So, you’re saying that he is stalking himself and may have actually stolen his own identity?

At least he should be able to get a great professional courtesy rate when he seeks treatment for that multiple personality, or whatever.

A Proud Infidel

Maybe he needs to go counsel himself, like, with a baseball bat?

I’m out here in the far northwest of what used to be called California, now known as Kalifornia, so my post is late. Back to the topic:

After reading all and reviewing the photos, I suspect the “researchers” here have hooked another “grand prize world record trophy” to reel in. The weigh in is perhaps a few ounces less then WD Church. But who knows as the denial and buffoonery rolls out he may add a few ounces to his fishy ilk. Reminds me of the reality TV program “Wicked Tuna.” Set the brake correctly, reel in a bit, then net it.

I did not use the term gaff, to prevent this from being taken out of context.

Keep on pumping the rod and reeling: “The denial may be strong in this one.”

When ever I see the word therapist, I always think “the rapist.”

His CIB isn’t broken. Once you give yourself three rows of ribbons, the CIB starts hiding under the lapel.

A couple of early observations. (Yes, Banks, early. You see, these things have varying shelf lives and yours looks like it’s going to last a while. How are those police reports coming? Please do let us know.)

@102. That pic looks to be the same one at the top of this post. It’s just that the other fellow was cut out but part of his shoe can still be seen in the pic.

@98. In the future, please provide a Graphic Image Warning. I really didn’t want to see that! Thankfully, my stomach was empty.

@112. “So, you’re saying that he is stalking himself and may have actually stolen his own identity?” Love it.

rb325th

So, him and his “stalker” (who looks identical to him) go to the same Lodge? Wow… he really should call Law Enforcment ASAP. Massachusetts State Police would be a good place to start. If he needs a hand with the number, I think I know a couple State Troopers.

Hey Air Cav? I thought you air cav guys were the rough and tumble sort of troopers, LOL. Next time I shall post requested *warning*. Heh.

You read that, Greg? If that’s the case, we can help you as well, too! Just ask Master Chief! Wait, make sure he isn’t teaching defensive shovel techniques first…

Counselor: ‘Thanks for coming in. What seems to be the problem with your son?’

Parent: ‘He lives in a fantasy world, pretending to be things he is not.’

Counselor: ‘What sort of things?’

Parent: ‘Well, lately, a soldier. He wears a uniform and presents himself to others as an actual Army officer.’

Counselor: ‘That’s normal behavior, ma’am. Many children role play and pretend to be what they are not. By the way, how old is he?’

Parent: ’43.’

Thanks, Cav Doc. I see our boi hasn’t checked in yet. Master Chief’s defensive snow shovel demonstrating musta skeered him off. 😎

Wow no updates, MCPO is being more than helpful if you just call him !!
Nothing back from my Masonic Secret Squirrel yet, but you can believe the word is out at the Lodges! They will most likely handle this in house!

Oh. This one is easy. We are dealing with Greg, his brother Greg, and his other brother Greg.

No, they are not twins, with a triplet other brother. They share a birth certificate. Maybe even a respiratory system.

Dear Gregee Boyee,

All is in play for the MCPO NUCLEAR OPTION.

Your time is running out!

I have offered to help!

You have ignored me (us) …

You have a short time left!

Mr. Banks, you have a practice to protect. You have Masonic brothers and I would assume, a family. The posts here are not threats, they are promises to act based on the truth that has been exposed. This matter, though it may be difficult for you, can only be resolved by you. A simple email to the administrator is all it takes. An email stating what you have done, that it was wrong and a sincere apology to all veterans from whom you have stolen valor. As hard as that seems I am sure it is far better than the possible damage to your career and relationships with those in your life. I would highly encourage you to take a moment and consider the options offered to you to bring this to a swift resolution. I speak only for myself.

Maybe Gregory C. Banks could team up with William Derek Church and be his coach for some gigs as a Chris Farley impersonator?!

Hopefully the Lodge will assume main effort status on this issue as they have proximity and hopefully motivation.

Jonn,

Remind Gregee Boyee he will have to sue me too.

On deposition day I will wear my uniform and he can wear his!

Oh … we need to remind Gregee Boyee that according to the USSC … “the remedy for Stolen Valor is the truth”.

That is not my defense … that is my “Dismissal Ticket!”

As for this turd – strangle yourself with that blue cord …

King Hiram’s Lodge yanked the photo(s) of him posing in Uniform. They know they have a fraud in their midst, now what will they do about it.

Gregory Charles Banks, you and no one else posed in that Uniform. It is quite clearly you. Perhaps now would be a good time to admit to portraying yourself as something you are not and apologise for it.

OWB

Actually, Greg, it is YOUR responsibility to notify law enforcement of when your identity is stolen. It is YOUR responsibility to prove, scientifically or otherwise, that your lies are truthful.

And about that “death threat” that was supposedly slid under your hotel room door while you were in a location that no one here could possibly have known? Are you kidding me?? Now that YOU brought that into the discussion, it is YOUR responsibility to provide us with documentation of your having reported that one to law enforcement as well. You clearly implied that TAH had something to do with the alleged threat. (Or was your brother Greg the only one who saw it and you aren’t too sure if he is telling the truth?)

The US Supreme Court ruled that it is OUR responsibility to expose liars who attempt to steal valor from us. Ask your other brother Greg – he can verify the truth of that statement.
