Daniel A. Bernath; phony CPO

| December 11, 2013

Editor’s Note: Daniel A. Bernath passed away on January 21, 2018

Daniel Bernath

Scotty sent this to us over the weekend and I was holding on to it for a drought, but our own Ex-PH2 was excited that Daniel A. Bernath was a PH2, too. Just by looking at the rank on his sleeve, you can tell he’s a phony since, instead of laying out the bucks for new rank, he had a stripe embroidered on the sleeve. He has service stripes for twenty years of service, but his FOIA tells a different story;

3 years and change in active service, and a couple of years in the Reserves. Now let’s do some math – you’ll need most of your fingers, he’s wearing seven awards in the picture and the FOIA says that he has five. Well, finally we got a Navy phony who is not a SEAL.

Perhaps you should consider cracking a law book on what is and isn’t censorship.
This is a personal blog, not a government run forum. The owners and moderators post as they please (and stay well within the law on libel). They allow people to comment at their discretion. Neither you, I or anyone else has a “right” to use the comment section of this blog to state an opinion. It’s a privledge granted by owner of this site. If they feel a person is spamming, advocating illegal activity or just being an obnoxious bloviating piece of shit they can stop them from posting. There are several Large newspapers that allow opinions and comments on their editorials or reports and they practice the same thing

I love that in one of his long posts he brags that all of his children have graduated from college, proud papa indeed. yet the Bar association felt the need to cup check him for not paying child support?
oh yea, Dan, before you come stomping in here again making long winded posts thinking you can sway us with your infallible logic, you might want to check into the court records of the last individual that tried a similar tactic. So before you get your legal briefs in a twist, you might want to know how things turned out for the last person to take Jonn to court http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=38704

EXHack. Rog that. He did not work for DHS 2002 – 2004.

That is a fact.

Andy

@206, uh-oh, does MCPO have friends at DHS? Dan was lying? color me shocked.

ExHack

@206: how are you so sure on that? ’02 would be contemporaneous with the federal rollout, although not sure when PDX was federalized. If they weren’t one of the earliest federalized airports, he’d have had to be on the original Mobile Screening Force. But it is possible.

@162 – I just wanted to bring this one GLARING mistake to the attention of anyone who missed it. Bernastypants says at #162 (above):

‘He wanted to CHANGE THE SUBJECT as there is no such thing. As we still have the First Amendment, there isn’t such a law and can’t be such a law.’

This is incorrect. The Stolen Valor Act was passed by Congress last summer. It is a law because there are many people who have been profiting from stolen valor at the expense of US taxpayers through the Dept of Veterans’ Affairs, and from nonprofit organizations that do their best to try to help deserving veterans.

Because in-country veterans who had served tours of duty in Vietnam were treated in an egregious manner by the media and by a large portion of the US population when they came home, any reference to being a veteran of that war, whether serving a tour in-country or simply during that period was frequently swept under the rug and not brought up. When the Gulf War began, in-country Vietnam War vets made a serious effort to not let that happen again.

The result is, and has been for some time, that shiftless, useless jerks have taken advantage of the good will of generous people and are now giving vets a bad name again, for no reason other than their own self-centered weak egos and need for attention. The most shining example of an asswipe who tried to profit from lying about his service was Tim Poe, who went on America’s Got Talent 2 years ago and claimed he had post-traumatic stress disorder, which was roundly and loudly denied by people who knew him.

So, bernath, you asshole, you’ve put yourself right down there in the same pisshole with Tim Poe. And yes, Stolen Valor is illegal, so jam it sideways.

Is my work here completed? Goody!

Still shaking head over the mere idea that pickwickre peckerwood has a clone on the left coast. Amazing, isn’t it? That someone like Daniel A Bernath actually thinks he can get away with this kind of thing? The world is far too small.

ExHack

@213, do you feel like you’ve gotten it all out?

If not, you’re throwin’ rocks tonight!

@214 – I think I’m winding down for the night. 🙂

Take care of you and yours.

If he follows the pattern of Paul (of the Ballsack), Dullass Whipitnflogit, the Round Ranger and so many others, he’ll be back tomorrow to blow some more smoke and give us a moving target.

Have just come back to this thread and was delighted to find myself on Bernath’s honors list, just below the fabulous Thumb.
Soon as I adjust my pantyhose, I’ll get back to reading all the entries.

@210……ph2, just want you to know your writing about Vietnam vets is a great piece of journalism. Keep it up. I salute you. Again take care.

Bernath is not in the membership database of the organization that supposedly bestowed the honorary CPO rank. However, I found an old acquaintance on the membership rolls…..PHC Steve Waterman. I used to get my tanks filled at his dive shop when I lived in Maine. Tanks fill slow…..got to hear lot’s of great stories. Awesome dude that Waterman guy.

Ex-PH2

@219 – Thank you. I think a lot of the stuff I write here and elsewhere has improved drastically because of this place.

To get at least 2 keyboard sprays out of people in one year is an accomplishment.

I owe at LOT to TAH.

@118 – Retied Master, I forgot to answer your question. Sorry, was NOT ignoring you. The film you could process with the safelight turned on was Kodalith. I don’t know if you can even get that stuff any more.

And Kodak 2475 was a super high speed developed by Eastman Kodak for use in surveillance by the ‘spooks’ people. It was extremely grainy, but if you wanted to do something with that graininess, you could get some seriously artistic shots out of it. I did some landscapes with it that were so close to pointillist paintings, my studio prof asked me if I thought it was where Seurat got his idea for his pointillist works.

The Speed Graphic was wonderful camera for sports. If you could load a 50-sheet film pack and carry 2 or 3 of them, you could shoot like crazy and not have to reload. I loved 4×5. It was so easy to work with. And now there is only one pro lab left within 450 miles of me. What do I do with my view camera?

I think Waterman is a frogman. I met several years ago.

Just out of curiosity, how is Bernath the valor thief living on ocean front property, when there is an entire Pacific coastal mountain range between him and the Pacific coast?

Man, he really does have a bad case of badass bubblicious hyperactive imagination disorder. He can actually pretend that he can transplant an inland city to the Pacific coast and pretend he’s living there… right off the Cascadia fault.

Unbelievable.

I would not want to be there on the coast when the Cascadia plate boundary snaps, or the Juan de Fuca plate either, for that matter. MAJOR tidal wave damage if that happens. Ouch!

Jeez… When the non-SEAL Navy posers show up, they bring the power. Shipley can have the SEALS. My money is on MCPO and Ex-PH2 for the rest of them.

@167 – you represent “a few hundred thousand people”? I must say, that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment, to have acquired so many clients in the space of only two weeks – since January 1, 2014, when you resumed active status in the California bar. I have to assume that those clients were acquired in the past two weeks; I can’t imagine that you signed them up before August 16, 2012, when your license went inactive; very few clients would stand for their lawyer doing nothing on their case for over fifteen months. You couldn’t have worked on their case with an inactive law license, could you? And you couldn’t have signed up new clients while inactive, could you?

You know, the left coast is several hours behind some of us, so I’d bet money that bernath is waiting until most of us have shuffled off to sleepy time.

That’s okay. As Scarlett once said, ‘I’ll worry about that tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.’

Buonna notte.

@230 and 233,

Beautimous.

“Dropping a Wickre” actually occupied my lexicon for a couple of weeks, but “squeezing out a Bernath” may have to take over, all because he had to invoke my agency as to (YES! AS TO!) his celebration of the self. Still wanna know how how MCPO NYC is sure that’s a lie. If you got the goods sir, Command Master Chief Al Reyes, Senior Chief Gowans, and Chiefs Pepito and Miran (among others) here in LAS thank you for dissassociating him from their current service.

Danny must still be having problems with this review by the Oregon Supreme Court http://www.publications.ojd.state.or.us/docs/S44863.htm Here’s the “meat and taters” part: In its recommendation to this court, the Board identified the following findings of the three-member panel that the full Board believed demonstrated applicant’s lack of good moral character and fitness to practice law in Oregon: “(A) He disobeyed a court order to pay child support. “(B) He was suspended for over a year in the State of California for failure to pay child support. “(C) He failed to inform the Board that he was suspended from the practice of law in the State of California and he lied to the Board about his suspension in California, stating that he was not suspended when he was in fact suspended. “(D) He loaned money to a client, Tamara Varner (‘Varner’), and collected on the loan from settlement proceeds from Varner’s lawsuit without Varner’s knowledge or agreement. “(E) He signed Varner’s name to a release without Varner’s knowledge and without advising the opposing party or counsel for the opposing party that he was signing the release on behalf of Varner. On that same release he signed as a witness, attesting to the authenticity of Varner’s signature. “(F) He lied by omission to the Board when he told it that he did not notarize the Varner settlement document. “(G) He endorsed Varner’s name to the settlement check without Varner’s knowledge and without advising the bank that he was doing so. “(H) He retained all of the proceeds of the settlement without Varner’s knowledge or agreement. “(I) He failed to respond to a notice from the Committee on Arbitration of the Los Angeles County Bar Association that Varner was disputing his fee and that there would be an arbitration of the dispute. He also failed to appear at the hearing. “(J) He failed to advise the Board of the fee dispute or the award in favor of Varner and against him in the amount of $10,000. “(K) He wrote a letter to Varner after entry of the award against him wherein he misrepresented the… Read more »

Here’s the preliminary report on Wannabe’s crash in September, courtesy of the FAA:

*** Note: NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data
provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report. ***
On September 1, 2013, about 1800 Pacific daylight time, a Flight Design CTSW, N102HA, lost engine
power, and landed short of Sisters Eagle Air Airport, Sisters, Oregon. The light sport airplane was
registered to, and operated by, the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part
91. The sport pilot was not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall and
lower right fuselage during the accident sequence. The cross-country personal flight initially
departed Coeur d’Alene Airport – Pappy Boyington Field, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, at an unknown time, with
a planned destination of Sisters Eagle Airport. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no
flight plan had been filed.
The pilot provided a verbal statement to a deputy of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office following
the accident. He reported departing Coeur d’Alene en route to Sacramento, California, and that he
encountered strong head winds and low clouds during the flight. Subsequently, he landed at a private
airstrip approximately 7 miles east of Sisters Airport to check the airplane’s fuel levels. Estimating
that he had sufficient fuel for approximately 30 more minutes of flight, he departed for Sisters. As
he approached the airport the engine “sputtered” and then stopped producing power, and he performed a
forced landing into a field.
At the time of publication of this preliminary report, the pilot had not provided a verbal or written
statement to the NTSB regarding the circumstances of the accident.
Updated on Sep 18 2013 7:45PM

He’s not gotten back to the FAA… guess he doesn’t want to tell them that he doesn’t know how read a fuel gauge or do the math to know how far he can go on a nearly empty fuel tank.

@239,

He is now suing the aircraft maker for having sold him a poorly made aircraft. This shitstain is everything wrong with the legal system and the law profession. He is just one of those fucks who manipulates the system.

Ex-PH2

@ExHack, I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough how MCPO NYC knows about bernath’s non-association with DHS.

@HMCS(FMF): bernath has a lifetime habit of lying about a lot of things. It’s nothing new. He altered his driver’s license when he was 16 to enlist in the Navy. See @70 (above) for reference. If he steals from his own clients, you have to wonder what he stole from the Navy and his shipmates when he was deployed to the fleet.

@Old Dog, he bought that airplane in July 2010 and flew it without incident for over 3 years, then wrecked it in the fall of 2013. If the fuel supply was at fault, why didn’t he have an incident prior to the crash during those 3+ years after he bought it? He had more than enough time to find out about flaws in any aircraft. It would be interesting to find out if that plane had annual inspections, which the FAA requires for all aircraft. And for that matter, how much did he actually fly it?
He has a problem with authority figures, too. He was ’embarrassed’, per that document filed, by the FAA’s investigation into his crash. I’m sure he clashed with them over it. That’s a good way to get permanently grounded.

Given that he is a Notary Public, I would advise you to tread carefully and keep your guard up….. Security Quarters!

Ex-PH2

Where does he get the time to do all this lawering stuff? He’s doing all that paperwork on ‘several hundred thousand people’ and he’s suing an aircraft company and several other people all at one go, and now he wants to sue we few, we happy few?

My goodness, that is SUCH an imagination! I do hope he has time for all that court legwork like docketing, too, plus appearances. Oh, wait, he’s not good about appearances, is he? NOw, he tends to fail to appear. Hmmm….

Well! Get out the clone machine!

If he sues me, does that mean I cannot take the Portlandia Tour from tour guide Dan? http://www.aspecialdayguide.com/portlandia/

I do have one question regarding the 1st Amendment thingy.

If you get an annoying phone call, does the 1st Amendment mean you can’t cut him off by hanging up?

Oh, and does it also mean that you can’t slam the door in the face of those idiots who represent gypsy gas companies and want you to switch to their company?

Just testing the waters there. 🙂

Yeah You David Bernath, shitstain on society; you left my name off your list. What the hell is this? I don’t want to be left out of your drivilous, drooling ramblings.

You claim to be an attorney, yet you claim that the blog administrator is depriving you of your 1st amendment rights? That is rich. Sorta like telling someone that they are supposed to forgive. Jesus forgives, I don’t. You have made a very denigrating statement about a friend of mine, and for that alone, (over and above your military phoniness, your false measure of wealth, and your just plain uppity ways), I want to see you hurt financially, embarrassed among your peers, and shown to be just what you are to the public.
You left me off your list.

Hey, Buttblast Bernath! I’m your fucking Huckleberry, bitch. You’re a lying sack of shit phony. I’ve got a better chance of making honorary CPO than you do, and my chances are about zip-point-shit. You’re Wickre’s retarded little brother. You smell. Small children and animals fear you, for good reason.
