A background:
Jesse Adam Macbeth (b. Jesse Adam Al-Zaid, in 1984) is a civilian anti-war protester who falsely claimed to be an Army Ranger and veteran of the Iraq War. He lied in alternative media interviews that he and his unit routinely committed war crimes in Iraq.
Transcripts of the video were made in English and Arabic. According to the U.S. Army, there is no record of Macbeth being a Ranger, or serving in a combat unit: he was discharged from the service after having been declared unfit or unsuitable for the Army, or both, before he could complete basic training.
After his release from the Army in 2004, Macbeth purported himself to be a veteran, telling war stories and garnering attention from mainstream, alternative and student media outlets. He joined Iraq Veterans Against the War in January of 2006, and represented, or was scheduled to represent them publicly at various events throughout the country; the organization has since said it does not endorse Macbeth or his accounts of military service.
Accounts in Macbeth’s name appear on Military.com and Myspace.com, and both were used to post claims about military service in Iraq. On September 21, 2007 Macbeth admitted in federal court that he had faked his war record. U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan declared that Macbeth had been in the Army for just 44 days and had been dismissed as unfit.
Simply put, “Jesse MacBeth” is lying poser.
Someone purporting to be the very ‘Jesse MacBeth’ in question, recently popped up on a website called “AboveTopSecret” to ramble incoherently, and with bad grammar and spelling to boot.
This is how the site describes itself:
AboveTopSecret.com is the Internet’s largest and most popular discussion board community dedicated to the intelligent exchange of ideas and debate on a wide range of “alternative topics” such as conspiracies, UFO’s, paranormal, secret societies, political scandals, new world order, terrorism, and dozens of related topics with an impressive demographic mix of members.
So, that should give you a good idea of the types of tin-foil hatted people on there, and prepare you for the following.
The moniker given for the post was “dryken1”, but he claims to be ‘Jesse MacBeth’.
If this is a parody, bravo! If it isn’t, it still makes for an interesting study of what happens when a lunatic’s mind goes wandering off without a chaperone:
