World Net Daily has been tracking this story:
The Department of Defense has compelled a private employer to fire a U.S. Army Reserve major from his civilian job after he had his military deployment orders revoked for arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.
According to the CEO of Simtech Inc., a private company contracted by the Defense Security Services, an agency of the Department of Defense, the federal government has compelled the termination of Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook.
Cook's attorney, Orly Taitz, wrote in her blog that Simtech CEO Larry Grice said he would try to find another position within the company for Cook, but nothing is currently available.
The Department of Defense does contracting in the general field of information technology/systems integration, at which Cook, a senior systems engineer and architect, was employed until taking a military leave of absence on July 10 in preparation for his deployment to Afghanistan.
"Grice told plaintiff, in essence, that the situation had become 'nutty and crazy,' and that plaintiff would no longer be able to work at his old position," Taitz wrote.
Grice made clear that it was Defense Security Services that had compelled Simtech to fire Cook, Taitz wrote.
According to the report, Grice told Cook "there was some gossip that 'people were disappointed in' the plaintiff because they thought he was manipulating his deployment orders to create a platform for political purposes."
The Simtech CEO then discussed Cook's expectation of final paychecks, without any severance pay, and wished the soldier well.
Messages left with Grice's office had not been returned at the time of this report.
"A federal agency (such as the Department of Defense, acting through the Defense Security Services Agency) clearly violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if it takes or fails to take (or threatens to take or fail to take) a personnel action with respect to any employee or applicant because of any disclosure of information by the employee or applicant that he or she reasonably believes evidences a violation of a law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety," Taitz wrote.
"What has happened in the present case of Stefan Frederick Cook is that a federal agency appears to have taken action against Stefan Frederick Cook's private employer, Simtech, Inc., which is a closely held corporation owned and operated by members of a single family, who are as much victims of the Department of Defense's heavy-handed interference with plaintiff Cook's private-sector employment as is plaintiff Cook himself."
This certainly shows who (or what) is running the show...
ReplyDeleteAs a Retired Military man, with combat duty, and faithful service for 30 years, I say it serves the coward right.
ReplyDeleteA man who cannot be trusted to honor his duty cannot be trusted with a security clearance which demands the highest of honesty and intergrity. I would not trust the man to keep my back in combat.
ReplyDeleteLet me see if I understand this,,
ReplyDeleteHe volunteered to go,
He changed his mind,
He cashes his checks,
He is not true to his word and he wants to be considered a whistle blower.
He sounds like someone who cannot be trusted, so take his security clearance.
He should turn in his commission and leave the National Guard, he has deserted his fellow soldiers who are in combat.
Sounds like what every soldier wants, a nut case for an officer.

ReplyDeleteI always get a kick when wingnuts describe their loony gossip-mongering and ravings as "tracking."
The only tracking I see here is of the poultry variety, if you get my drift.
How come these nutbars never produce any positive evidence for their claims? If Obama wasn't born in Hawaii as it says on his birth certificate then where was he born? Surely they can name a time and place he was born and provide documents to prove it if they expect us to believe them.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth pointing out the timeline here. Cook joined the birther lawsuit back in *March*, and *then* volunteered to be deployed a couple months *after* that. In other words, he "volunteered", knowing he had absolutely no intention of going. In short, he was a fraud who did this only to bring a lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves whatever he gets, including a court martial and being drummed out of the military.
My, that was a spanking by all the above.
ReplyDeleteClass A douche bag. He should be hanged.
ReplyDeleteA rope is too good for him.
ReplyDeleteHis "career" was finished anyway. Notice he's been in for 20 years and he's *still* an O-4? He's so far outside the curve he's got mold on him. Want to bet he wanted to embarass the Army as well as Obama?
ReplyDeleteI think you are all missing the point. The last time I checked, to ignore a LAWFUL order is a court-martial offense. Why was Maj Stefan Cook Not court-martialed? Why at this point and to the best of my knowledge, not ONE of the military personnel who has dis-obeyed an order to deploy because of the legitamacy of our President, has been court-martialed and brought to trial? Is there a reason for this? These people are TRAITORS if our President is legitimate. WHY IS SOMEONE AFRAID TO PROSECUTE THESE PEOPLE? I'm a little confused. BTW, I don't know all the details, but Cpt Connie Rhodes case was tossed out. That's 3 for 3 that I know of.
