Under the Hood resuscitation
As we reported a week or so ago, Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen, TX is about to go out of business because of a lack of funds and a functional business plan. So Ann Wright and Code Pink want you to give your money to the experiment in mental masturbation;
The former Army colonel and current model for fright masks doesn’t care much for Obama or Glen Beck, either;
Don’t be hoodwinked by Obama’s claim that the Iraq war is ending. We still have 50,000 troops there, tens of thousands of contractors and the biggest Embassy in the world. While we watch President Obama try to put a positive spin on a disastrous war we should have never started, let us redouble our efforts to bring ALL our troops home–from Iraq and Afghanistan. Join us in Washington DC on October 2 as we gather with civil rights activists, union members, women’s groups, youth and the peace community to call for jobs and bringing our war dollars home. Learn more about One Nation Working Together and sign up here to join me, Alice Walker, Medea Benjamin, and activists from around the country. If Glenn Beck could bring out hundreds of thousands of people with his message of glorifying war, surely we can bring out even more people with our message of glorifying the power of peace building in helping us restore our economy and our democratic ideals.
Whether Obama’s claim that the war is over is true or not, his announcement is sure to dry up donations to the peace pimps of IVAW and Code Pink. Imbeciles like Matthis Chiroux will be forced to get a job.
Speaking of Matthis, someone sends along a couple of interviews he did in regards to the three-second protest they conducted last week at Fort Hood under the name “The Derelicts” or some thing like that. He has certainly pumped up his sense of self-worth over the last few days.
Personally, I don’t see how IVAW can continue to suffer his hyperbole as a member of their board while he hangs out with Bobby Whittenburg who has basically called IVAW a bunch of wimps. Cynthia Thomas is no more a “family member” of a deployed soldier than Matthis is an Afghanistan veteran.
But, I’m sure someone will write that IVAW isn’t responsible for the actions of a few members.

I got an idea there Ann. If you hate the military so much, how about quit spending the retirement check you get from them.

You’re assuming, Jonn, that there are folks in this economy willing to HIRE an imbecile like him. I’d prefer to see him sleeping in an alley and standing in line at a soup kitchen for his meals. Leave the jobs that are left for folks who actually CARE about the truth and the Constitution.
JONN:
Do you really think that I can stand 19 minutes and 25 seconds of Matthis? Hell, I would be asleep or puking before the first minute is over. I won’t even watch the 6 minute 55 second one. Have Claymore watch ’em, he has that kind of concrete gut. If he can read DU, he can watch these. I ain’t that strong in my old age.
An aside; I wonder if he has approached Kyle Barwin for membership in Idiotic Vermin And Wankers. He’d fit right in there, eh? Notice the end of that sentence “eh”, eh? Working on my Ontario dialect in case I have to go up there for anything, eh.
What is he, drowning or something? Freakin flailing those arms around like a whack-job.
Let the doors slam shut on that place. They’ve done nothing but screw over every Soldier that has come through that place.
What’s wrong with his face? His cheeks some really sunken in the RT image.
@Spade, thats the Methamphetamine he is addicted to. Notice the Meth Mouth he has in the second video.
A “closed-minded and dehumanizing military culture”? Only if you join up, hate America and like jihadists, and go around telling everyone how you won’t deploy because of that after getting money for college. Folk who’re patriotic, joined up for that and got shot at by jihadists overseas over it tend to be a little cranky and lacking in understanding when one does such things.
You know, most people gain weight after leaving the Army. Hell, I know I have. hahaha
Ahhh, BEER!
Working on my Ontario dialect in case I have to go up there for anything, eh.
Don’t forget your tuque hoser…it starts getting cold aboot this time of year, eh.
Matthis has resigned from the IVAW Board.
I wasn’t as smart as Southern Class. While on my deathbed I will want those minutes back…
Why did he go all the way to Fort Bliss? The troops from the 82nd, 3 ID or 10th Mountain would have been closer. A lot more troops from those places spent a hell of a lot more time in Iraq than the troops from Fort Bliss. He could have come down here to Camp Lejeune. There was a lot of Marines from there served in Iraq.
You mean that the person in the top photo is not Victor Agosto? I’m shocked, I thought maybe Agosto had grown some hair and filled out a bit. Now I find out, it’s just some dried up, bitter old woman? Or, maybe it’s really dicksmith?
Wow, Matthis seems like he’s in the throes of desperation, trying to prove with big rehearsed buzzwords, that he’s more than a bug on the windshield of a communist movement.
Sadly it looks like the friendly “reporter” was as little impressed as was I, or the others to post here.
Someone needs to call Military One Source and report him, before he commits suicide. Seriously, he is getting suicidal as he realizes his impact on the world is even smaller than he’s ever thought possible. The attention he gets at TAH may be the only thing that keeps him going.
And yeah, if a “coffee house” can’t make 36k/year in the era of 4bucks coffee, then yeah, it does need to go out of business, no matter what the DoD budget is.
TAH I think he is calling you out on the first video at 7:58 for your references to Baskin Robbins.
My favorite qoute from the second video is
“We had to low crawl through the gutters to get to the buses”.
“We had to enfiltrate through over 30 law enforcement officials”
Maybe I saw a different video than the one he was talking about.
They could make it an anti-war titty bar.
I didn’t watch the video (just ate) but…
“We had to enfiltrate through over 30 law enforcement officials”
You mean the ones offering safety tips so that you “revolutionaries” wouldn’t get smeared across the highway? Real oppressive, those cops.
Ok, so I finally watched the RT clip. They let hm go on and on and because they knew something was up. Shows like that are so planed out that each time slot must be the correct length down to the second. She was probably getting calls from the Director to just let him ramble on and on until he ran out of time.
He clearly is on something in that clip. I work in entertainment, where drugs are everywhere, so I know what I’m talking about. Damn, he just bombed that whole thing.
He is so wasted he just starts to go and make shit up. They low crawled did they? With cars and trucks? They where beaten? Bobby was slammed to the grown?
Bobby’s take down was a soft one. If they low crawled their clothing would have shown it. Their own videos disproves what he saying. I feel bad for that host on RT. What a tough segment to get through.
