Joachim Hagopian
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and West Point have splashed across recent headlines, further damaging the US Military Academy’s pristine reputation as a once honored, hallowed institution. From my own personal experience at West Point, I learned firsthand that this once heralded institution was and still is anything but honorable. At the end of my third year at the Academy, I had to fight for my constitutional due process rights in a New York federal district court to prevent the actions of dishonest officers engaging in command conspiracy from running up a series of demerits on provably false charges to oust me from the Academy. Denied due process of law, I was summarily railroaded out of West Point, a dishonorable unconstitutional practice that went unchallenged from West Point’s 1802 founding until 1972 when I took West Point Superintendent General William Knowlton, who two years later would become the father-in-law of another disgraced West Pointer General David Petraeus, whom I’ve also extensively written about and exposed. My landmark case overturned West Point’s lies as the first cadet ever to successfully challenge and beat the West Point system, enabling me to finish my senior year and graduate in 1973. My historic due process constitutional court victory over a half century ago has ever since been taught in law schools across the nation.
Sadly, West Point today, like USA Inc. today, is a total disgrace of wokism rot. Today’s US Department of Defense is a criminal operation if there ever was one, grossly misled by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who as a plebe I supervised as his assistant squad leader a few months prior to my court case. These days Lloyd Austin is coming under increasing scrutiny facing some harsh judgment himself, both legally and morally, for his gross dereliction of duty as head of both our armed forces and US national security. Just over six months ago, I wrote a scathing article exposing this traitor in our midst.
This incompetent loser humiliated himself and America with the horror show displayed before the world with America’s disgraceful exit in August 2021 ending our longest war in history after 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan, handing over billions worth in weapons to the victorious terrorist Taliban enemy, while abandoning and betraying loyal Afghans, stranding Americans still trapped there, topped off by the tragic loss of 13 US soldiers’ lives massacred at the Kabul Airport. This all went down while Lloyd Austin premeditatedly murdered and maimed thousands of armed forces members, until January this year mandating bioweapons masqueraded as vaccines, incapacitating America’s self-defense. Austen also accepted his “boss” Biden’s stand down order at the wide-open border letting in millions of military aged men to freely enter America from US’ #1 adversary China as well as letting in an army of countless south of the border drug cartel criminals. China’s bribery and sexual blackmail of the Biden crime family ensures America’s totalitarian Marxist takeover continues unimpeded, undefended and unopposed. Meanwhile, the man in charge of US self-defense fails to secure the border and our national security, instead continues waging an immoral war at all cost in Ukraine, a nation that poses zero national security threat to America. Yet Austin’s aggressive military policy to “weaken” and provoke Russia into a larger potential nuclear war for simply defending its own national security is a threat to all of our lives.
Moreover, this week Austin’s once again embarrassingly back in the headlines when GOP lawmakers punished his woke abominable wreckage of our US fighting force by passing an unprecedented amendment to the current Pentagon appropriations bill cutting his annual salary down to just one measly little dollar from his near quarter million. After introducing the amendment, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated:
Many Americans agree: We do not want the United States’ military led by failure, causing us to be weak, [later posting the statement], under his failed leadership, our military is being destroyed, and he doesn’t deserve to serve any longer.
Our current Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III as well as his and my alma mater West Point are currently being sued in an important legal case that could one day be adjudicated by the US Supreme Court for the high court’s failure three months ago. What’s being challenged now is the US Military Academy’s unconstitutional admissions policy of outright racial discrimination against members of the non-minority Caucasian race. Named as co-defendants in the 29-page lawsuit are also Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, US Military Academy Superintendent General Steven Gilland and West Point Admissions Director Rance Lee.
The anti-affirmative action group Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) recently won round one with its June 29, 2023 landmark court case decided by the US Supreme Court to effectively strike down America’s affirmative action policy at both Harvard and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and in effect, virtually all US college campuses. This same anti-affirmative action group is at it once again, filing another similar lawsuit on Tuesday September 19th against the US Military Academy in the nearby White Plains federal district court in the Westchester County seat in the State of New York, just 38 miles south of West Point and a suburb just under 30 miles north of New York City.
West Point accepts 1,200 to 1,300 applicants of its well over ten thousand applicants yearly as one of the most selective, hard to get into institutions of higher learning in America, rejecting over 90% of those that apply yearly to this acclaimed historic institution on the Hudson River. Because it’s a highly ranked four-year academic as well as military school where cadets are granted a full scholarship and upon graduation, are commissioned officers in the US Army, the applications process is stringently unique. Prior to an appointment at West Point, each applicant must first compete to attain a nomination from their Congress members, Vice President or US President. Every applicant submits to a medical examination, a physical fitness test as well as meet the academic criteria as part of the exhaustive application process.
Per a Tuesday September 19th Politico article, the West Point lawsuit argues:
Instead of admitting future cadets based on objective metrics and leadership potential, West Point focuses on race. In fact, it openly publishes its racial composition ‘goals,’ and its director of admissions brags that race is wholly determinative for hundreds if not thousands of applicants… SFFA’s lawsuit takes issue with racial preferences used by the admissions office, and the school’s nondiscrimination policy on its website that says ‘the United States Military Academy is fully committed to affirmative action.’
Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion in the decision to end affirmative action at America’s colleges in June this year, differentiated between regular civilian colleges and the service academies at West Point, Annapolis and US Air Force Academy, noting in a footnote that the military academies carry “potentially distinct interests,” whatever that nebulous term means. The current lawsuit alleges:
[The US Military Academy is] violating the principle of equal protection enshrined in the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment and sought an order barring the academy from considering an applicant’s race during admissions.
The lawsuit contends that the Fifth Amendment violation contains an equal-protection principle that binds the federal government to uphold race-free consideration in employment, college admissions, housing and loan applications.
A September 19th Reuters article states:
The lawsuit said that West Point engaged in ‘racial balancing’ when deciding who will be a future cadet and set benchmarks for the percentage of each class that should be filled by ‘African Americans,’ ‘Hispanics,’ and ‘Asians.’
Under West Point’s existing racial quota policy, two SFFA members who happen to also be members of the Caucasian race are automatically prevented “from competing for admission on an equal footing.” That’s discrimination, plain and simple. And rejecting more qualified Caucasian American applicants based on the color of their skin is unethical, wrong, and in any other jurisdictional setting illegal. So, what grounds does a military academy admissions office have to render this practice legal and exclusively exempt from civil rights antidiscrimination laws? It’s a chapter straight out of what’s referred to as reverse discrimination and a clear Fifth Amendment violation. The long compromised Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts may just have to eat his words.
Any argument that attempts to justify academies’ racial exemption from all existing antidiscrimination laws based on the faulty straw man argument that the officer corps within each branch of service should maintain roughly the same parity of racial composition as its enlisted ranks the officer corps commands is ethically groundless and weak at best. Put to the test, the West Point Class of 2027 consists of 39% minorities (black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American), yet racially the respective Army enlisted ranks are 23%, 20%, 7% and 1%, (i.e., a 51% total racial minority construing a slight majority within the US Army). If the officer corps (per Class of ’27) is comprised of 39% racial minorities commanding the 51% enlisted minority majority, even more accepted applicants to West Point would need to be minority members.
But if the USMA admissions policy favors minorities at the expense of dominant white majority applicants when a number of the white applicants are summarily rejected for admission based solely on race consideration despite being more qualified with higher school grades, test scores, extracurricular activities, physical aptitude, and potential leadership abilities, then West Point’s racial discrimination policy neither serves the best interests of the US Army nor our nation’s national security. To rectify this egregious admissions policy, the federal district court needs to strike down West Point’s discriminatory, unfair admissions policy.
The SFFA lawsuit further asserts:
For most of its history, West Point has evaluated cadets based on merit and achievement. America’s enemies do not fight differently based on the race of the commanding officer opposing them, soldiers must follow orders without regard to the skin color of those giving them, and battlefield realities apply equally to all soldiers regardless of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
This pending law case really opens up the entire Pandora’s box of today’s disgracefully woke US armed forces that devote far too much attention and priority to the dogma of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” than it does to combat readiness and improving the strength of our military fighting force. Under Lloyd Austin and his Braindead boss, the US military is increasingly unfit for the job of providing adequate national defense for our defenseless nation. But then with the subversively treasonous indoctrination that promotes the Saul Alinsky Marxist objective to destroy America the constitutional republic, Braindead and Austin are simply following their masters’ Satanic death cult orders.
A former West Point admissions director actually boasted:
A couple of years ago, every qualified African-American applicant were [sic] offered admission into West Point, yet the class composition goal was still lacking.
So, all black applicants were given carte blanche acceptance to West Point for demonstrating minimal qualifying standards yet their number still failed to fill the race quota for blacks, while rejecting other mostly white applicants that were more qualified. This debasement of individuals based solely on skin color should be an insult to all races and all Americans while categorically denying more than 90% of academy applicants in part because they were the “wrong” skin color. And then brazenly brag about it is disgraceful.
Under Lloyd Austin’s appallingly woke, demoralizing leadership, he ensured that the ranks allow crossdressing trannies to wear dresses in the mess hall, showcase Drag Queen Story Hour on military posts, that is until Austin and America’s top general were shamed and chastised before Congress prior to finally dispensing with this degenerate practice in June this year, permit taxpaid transgender surgeries and treatment to defer military assignment up to a year, make the highly divisive Critical Race Theory mandatory across all services. These degenerately woke standards destroyed enlistment and recruitment quotas across the board, tanked troop morale, polarized the military ranks and detract from the strategic combat readiness and mission to train and improve the quality of our fighting force for optimal battlefield results.
From a Tuesday September 26th revolver.news exposé on the downfall of the once prestigious and honorable US Military Academy:
Today, West Point is just another woke joke, churning out young Marxists with contempt for the very nation they’re supposedly preparing to defend.
West Point’s academic curriculum has regressed and been irreversibly sullied, now offering wokeness as a “Diversity and Inclusion Studies” minor, requiring enrollment in such courses as “Power and Difference” and “Social Inequality.”
Largely this cancerous wokism malady afflicting West Point and entire US armed forces and nation, is spearheaded by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion dogma, fully embraced by our nation’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. This malady must be reversed if our constitutional republic is to survive. As the poster boy product of affirmative action, General Lloyd Austin epitomizes the Peter Principle in action, punching his ticket up the ranks of mediocrity ascension, rising to his level of incompetence. Serving as today’s US Defense Secretary under the puppet Biden regime, whose mission is to follow his handlers’ orders to finish the job traitor Obama started – destroying the United States from within. Austin’s half century of ass kissing his superiors as the typical bureaucratic politician general, steeped in affirmative wokeness, has paid off for him bigtime, having signed on as a fellow US traitor to undermine, weaken and ultimately destroy America’s capacity to defend itself from enemies both foreign and within.
Joachim Hagopian is a West Point graduate, former Army officer and author of “Don’t Let the Bastards Getcha Down,” exposing a faulty US military leadership system based on ticket punching up the seniority ladder, invariably weeding out the best and brightest, leaving mediocrity and order followers rising to the top as politician-bureaucrat generals designated to lose every modern US war by elite design. After the military, Joachim earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and worked as a licensed therapist in the mental health field with abused youth and adolescents for more than a quarter century. In Los Angeles he found himself battling the largest county child protective services in the nation within America’s thoroughly broken and corrupt child welfare system.
The experience in both the military and child welfare system prepared him well as a researcher and independent journalist, exposing the evils of Big Pharma and how the Rockefeller controlled medical and psychiatric system inflict more harm than good, case in point the current diabolical pandemic hoax and genocide. As an independent journalist for the last decade, Joachim has written hundreds of articles for many news sites, like Global Research, lewrockwell.com and currently https://
Test comment –
Thanks again, Jack, for dramatically changing the moderation process. Those of us who have been here for a while really appreciate that innovation. I guess the Captcha is necessary, but personally, I just wait until I get the “check”.
Man, I’ll tell ya….the following makes me SO proud to be an American represented by the Biden’s…yes indeed…so effing proud:

I had no intention of voting for RFK Jr……but, this is beyond disappointing.
https://www.independentsentinel.com/rfk-endorses-aocs-green-new-deal-calls-for-climate-taxation/
I’m not surprised. RFK Jr has a sheen of attractive qualities that are being projected to voters right now, but it is only a veneer of curated opinions floating on his dead family’s reputation. This is the real person, as quoted at the above link. He’d like to put you in jail, if you don’t agree with him.
Here’s how he supports our great enemy who engineered and profited from 9/11 and who stands in back of the political assassinations in RFK Jr’s own family:
“This ignominious, unprovoked, and barbaric attack on Israel must be met with world condemnation and unequivocal support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense. We must provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself — now. As President, I’ll make sure that our policy is unambiguous so that the enemies of Israel will think long and hard before attempting aggression of any kind.
I applaud the strong statements of support from the Biden White House for Israel in her hour of need. However, the scale of these attacks means it is likely that Israel will need to wage a sustained military campaign to protect its citizens. Statements of support are fine, but we must follow through with unwavering, resolute, and practical action. America must stand by our ally throughout this operation and beyond as it exercises its sovereign right to self-defense.”
I think E. Michael Jones is right. RFK Jr lost decades on heroin, when he could have been of educating himself.
Well said, Toni……I have to admit I was taken in…..His vaccine stand intrigued me more than anything else.
Have you heard Shiva’s take on all of this?

Who is this guy that trademarked his own name? I had a hard time winnowing out his political message about Kennedy and Trump from his sales pitch. It makes me wonder how much his political opinions are subject to his aggressive ‘entrepreneurial’ activity.
I couldn’t really figure out his problem with Kennedy. It seemed mostly ad hominem. His criticism of Trump, though based on fact, was not nuanced, to say the least. He uses it to bolster his own persona.
Dr. Swami does this with other people, as well. Like when he says that Vivek Ramaswamy is a political figure because he is a Brahman. “I’m not,” he says. “I’m just like one of you guys.” What kind of racist bullshit is that?
His diatribe against Trump is mounted for similar self-aggrandizing reasons. From his privileged position of hindsight, he demands a retroactive perfection.
Toni…supposedly the inventor of email (highly disputable). He ran for US SINator of Massachusetts and lost twice…first time in the primary. I am very weary of anyone who throws out those ad hominem attacks. He comes across as bitter to say the least. He also has an ego the size of China….of course, so does Trump, but with the Donald, I see some justification. He does have some interesting ideas, but as far as appealing to voters, he falls flat.
Adding to my comment of 2:29 PM……as the vid progresses, he goes on to call all MAGA folks “fucking idiots”. That’s quite a sweeping statement, eh?
As I said, he may have some good ideas, but for me, his approach is not getting it. I guess running the POTUS is a nice way to make a few bucks….but they will not be my bucks.
While no truly civilized person encourages pain and suffering in others, in a situation like this one must be the adult in the room and speak the truth. These young people are experiencing the consequence of their elder’s wicked behavior.
Israel was created by Sabatian Frankist’s, a 200 year old group that insinuates themselves into nations, governments, religions, education, and much more.
Sabatian Frankist, Lord Rothschild of the Khazarian “Jews,” then head of the bank of England, “wrote” British Prime Minister (Frankist) Alfred Balfour, assuring him aid assistance, and funding in WWI if England would guarantee them a homeland in the middle east.
England agreed (already set up) even though the Khazarians (Ashkanzi – Khazarian from an area between the Black and Caspian seas, a people of Mongolian, Bulgar, Iranian, Turkish, and other mixed heritage who originally comprised the Khazarian Empire) had no legitimate claim to anything in the Middle East.
After decades of robbing caravans from the East they chose to go into banking. Since usury (loan sharking) is only allowed by Jews they became Jews. The Palestinians were invaded, murdered, and are now in the world’s largest prison, all based on lies of the sociopathic Frankist, Zionist Israeli’s.
“The Jewish people…will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy…In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition…”

Brilliant and concise summary. No argument here. A few are now saying they “let it happen”. Nothing surprises me any longer. Are they looking for support and a “new and fresh victimhood” since they lost their chance in Ukraine for a new Israel?

Here’s an article that may offer an explanation of Israel’s “invasion”.
************************************************************************
Here’s why Netanyahu staged the false flag invasion by MOSSAD-controlled Hamas exactly when he did.
Was the so-called Palestinian invasion of Israel
on October 7, 2023 really a classic FALSE FLAG
OPERATION staged by MOSSAD-controlled Hamas?
https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/10/08/heres-why-netanyahu-staged-the-false-flag-invasion-by-mossad-controlled-hamas-exactly-when-he-did/
“Now here’s the real problem…for the Messianic Jews and the Christian Zionists who support them.
They are operating according to a very strict timeline to get the long-prophesied Third Temple constructed. That schedule has already been set back by a number of unanticipated events which are beyond the scope of this short exposé.
Nevertheless, the dictates of the Hebrew Calendar must be adhered to, according to the most orthodox Jewish sects who completely control Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu.
Which means that PM Netanyahu had to resort to a very desperate series of black ops (and psyops) to get the job done. In fact, Bibi had to pull off something so brazen and so stunning and so reckless that those false flag attacks / terrorist operations would sufficiently shock the collective Israeli consciousness so that he could justify taking over the Al-Aqsa Mosque for reasons of “national security”.”
And here’s Fulford\s take:
https://benjaminfulford.net/2023/10/09/cult-of-baal-stages-mass-sacrifice-of-jews-and-palestinians-in-doomed-attempt-to-get-money/
“About 60 people including Biden and his son, Hillary and her team, they all know they will go to jail if they lose the Ukrainian war. So, to save their asses they need some “victory” and Ukraine is not suitable for that while China-Taiwan is too risky so, they chose to destroy the Palestinians…Hamas is part of the plan of moving Israel to the land of Ukraine. Basically, the war in Israel and Ukraine is one. The Zionists want to have a bigger land far away from Iran and other Muslim countries so the Ukrainian territory was chosen to relocate Jews there after the destruction of Israel…In the past 18 months, about half a million Ukrainians died. In the war 3.5 million Ukrainians migrated to Europe and 2.5 million to Russia. So in total, the population has been reduced by 6.5 million. The population of Israel is 9.3 million so the war in Ukraine will be over in 2025 when another 3 million die. Then the new Khazaria will be built on the spilled blood.”
In any other administration, this would be treason. BUT, for the Biden admin, it just business as usual:

Don’t know who this “Jack” guy is but no reply coming in from him. Tried to post a comment here and at other stories but it seems only replies to others work for me. Toni may be spot on about the hacking going on by the dark side. :-/
Doyle, he’s the webmaster and has also written quite a few articles for the blog.
Jack is a genius! A very busy genius. He handles a lot of stuff for Fetzer – this site, the ‘All Things Reconsidered’ site, the conferences, etc. He’s part of The Government Rag with Stephanie Sledge and others. And Jack is involved with Sheriff Mack and the CSPOA, the Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association. Probably a lot of other stuff, too.
Jack is indispensable.
If they didn’t realize it before, then the elites should clearly recognize that the Ukraine conflict has demonstrated the abject inferiority of Western military equipment and tactics vis a vis Russia in almost every area. It had already been demonstrated for a decade or more that the Chinese could win every simulated conflict with the U.S. in the Pacific. So, what is the purpose of the U.S. military now? Could it be that it is being designed to be used against the American people someday and the changing demographics are part of that repurposing? I hope not, but I am concerned that the new military officer corps doesn’t really understand its oath is to the Constitution , not the President. The Oath Keepers, a nonpolitical, racially diverse organization devoted to reminding military officers of the true meaning of their oath, was singled out by the Federal Government for its role in the January 6th protest (not “insurrection”, since the only real violence was carried out by government saboteurs and Capitol police). The Oath Keeper leadership is now serving long prison sentences for insurrection even though the Keepers had no weapons anywhere near the Capitol nor documented plans to destroy the activities of Congress. What their real crime was is that they had made serious inroads into the enlisted and officer ranks of the U.S. military and threatened the elites’ use of the military to destroy domestic dissent.
I can certainly understand Joachim Hagopian’s thoughts concerning Lloyd Austin’s appallingly woke behavior. I briefly detail my own experiences with a similar person that I served directly with in the Navy. Their rise in authority and power seems to affect their brain. They become quite megalomaniac.

What I see in Lloyd’s face is towering anger and arrogance.
I personally have experienced what happens when a black military person is advanced due to their skin color. In my third Navy year in 1968 I was assigned to a Naval mail unit at Long Beach Naval Station. The leader of this 5 man office was a black 1st Class Petty Officer who despised white Navy personnel. I was one of those white Petty Officers under him, myself being a Third Class Petty Officer. Believe me it was a nightmare being in his mail office.
On another note…Before that year I was assigned to an office of personnel distribution….65,000 sailors of the US Navy cruisers of the Pacific Fleet. This office was about 12 people [ This was 1966 Comcrudespac, San Diego.] One day I was shown a log of men assigned to one of the ships. Black sailors had a unique alphabet letter next to their name which meant “black”. I was told that they kept the number of black sailors small in each department of the ship because the Navy believed that if too many ”blacks” were in a department they always form gangs and dominate that department. This was a well known dangerous situation.

That palm tree in the back validates your story Don :-))
The good ol’ days hey?
EJD: For sure. The military was a four year party of mostly fun times for me. It was that or death in Vietnam. 57,000 American soldiers dead in Vietnam…all for nothing. My Army brother served in Vietnam and he told me the entire war in Vietnam was a sick Pentagon adventure in endless DEATH. Today all of Vietnam is Communist as it was planned to be.
Don’t be fooled, the USA is a very sick place with a totally corrupt government.
