As if you need another reason to dislike Matthis
Someone sent me this video of Matthis Chiroux talking to a group of snooty kids in some Long Island educational organization. It’s actually the Woodhull Institute for “ethical leadership” so, boy is Matthis out of his depth. This is from their “About” page;
The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian educational organization that provides ethical leadership training and professional development for women. Too often, success has been measured in terms of the accumulation of power and wealth, with almost no consideration of how these accomplishments have been achieved. Ethical leadership is concerned with the means as well as the ends to personal and professional achievements. As such, Woodhull has developed a community that encourages women to lead with honesty, respect, courage and compassion; to strive for the common ground in decision-making; and to share in community service.
So why have they asked for Matthis to speak to them, I wonder. maybe it’s opposite day in Woodhull. In the video, you veterans listen for the line “returning war vets’ experiences prevent them from attaining their full potential”.
Of course, Matthis wouldn’t know about returning veterans, because any of them worth a shit won’t talk to him because he tried to steal their valor by claiming to be a combat veteran himself, for six days of licking cones at Baskin Robbins in Bagram. And then, while defending himself against the internal IVAW membership charges of stolen valor against him, he demeaned their valor by claiming there was nothing valorous about their service -dragging them down to his sorry level.
Returning veterans will never reach their full potential. And Matthis Chiroux will forever be a coward and a moron.

this is an organization for women so Matthis is trolling for another impressionable stupid young woman to mooch off her…

Ummm “for women”.
So why do they have a foreign dude as their interviewer?
And why would a known rapist (Matthis Chiroux) be their choice of interviewee?
Bizarre segment all round.
Wonder if he saw any demure girls from the philippines there that caused flashbacks to rape?
God I want to punch that douchebag’s face. Seriously. Every single time I see that stupid, lying, bitch face I just want to punch it until it’s all soft, puffy, and bloody. Does that make me a bad person?
Sniper, it just makes you honest.
One mistake, it isnt on Long Island. Ancramdale NY is Colombia county upstate near the Ct. Border.
I’d like to run Matthis through 24 hours of old school Infantry Gorilla drills circa 1981. I would have the little bitch wetting himself after an hour.
Woodhull is an amazing and incredible organization that does great things for women, especially young women, that I look forward to supporting. I can’t see what this video is or where it came from on my phone, but they are not people who deserve your ire . The only people who should oppose Woodhull are people who oppose women breaking the glass ceiling.
Anyone who supports Mathis deserves scorn and ridicule. If they did not know his past then the quality and legitimacy of the organization is to questioned. If you can’t even do the most basic of vetting on a speaker, then really how serious can one take you? And Sniper, I am pretty sure that wanting to cave Mathis’s face in makes you a good person by default. If he creates that sort of reaction in you then your values are likely on track.
Selena, they might be good people, and I’m sure they are, but they need to look into who they are interviewing before they do it. It’s just documentary 101 stuff. It’s a pro-women group that just interviewed a rapist, and a part to rape. Talk about a screw up in filmmaking.
Woodhull, you are losiong credibility by the second:

CHIROUX STATEMENT 1 – “Had the army told me to go to Afghanistan, I would go to Afghanistan,” he said.

CHIROUX STATEMENT 2 – “Afghanistan is illegal”
Losing credibility. Anger leads to grotesque spelling errors. Lead fingertips.
Any organization that lets children near admitted sex offenders like Matthis is not one that I would look kindly on Army Sergeant.
I think that I will more with AS on this one. We really do not know much about this group. This could be a case similar to the Oathtakers with that IVAW guy.
I wonder if there is a way that we can contact these people and give the low down on this guy. How they react will let us know what to think about them.
Good lord he is nauseating and disgusting. What a totally worthless piece of dog poop.
the interviewer is a hs student-one of a few who attended the retreat over the weekend. he was interviewing the various individuals who taught classes at the retreat.
i don’t understand-what is there to bash?
good for the hs students reporting on who they’re meeting and what they’re learning. they are the youtube generation-it is what they do!
this institute is very reputable and is run by educated and well established individuals.
most of the retreats are geared towards women. this specific one was open to all who wanted to participate.
when did matthis claim he was a combat vet?
there are many different jobs in the military-those in combat aren’t the only ones who witness what is going on over there.
I’ve met a lot of combat vets who suffer from ptsd as a result of their tours; after serving they were not able to reach their full potential; they will always be haunted by the things they witnessed.
DF this isn’t necessarily an attack on the interviewer or the group, but on Mathis. I don’t know if the group just didn’t know who they were dealing with or what, but mathis at an ethics group is like Ron Jeremy at a church camp…it just doesn’t fit.
