Body it would just shut down or something. When i went to the doctor i had been feeling sick and dizzy and i was aided and. They took my urine and they told me that i was pregnant i. Was like you know theres a wife in there you know and maybe a great wife will be better than mine and i got to make sure that so. She is very special. Sometimes it takes a different kind of action to cause change to calm. And sometimes. A lot. I grew up on military bases my dad was career army when i was a child when we answer the phone we just have to say colonel brooks quarters and because of that i have as i have an understanding of the level of control that the military exercises that perhaps most in civilian life dont have. The fairness doctrine is a judicial doctrine that was developed by the Supreme Court that says if youre in the military you cannot sue for something that happens to you thats incidental your military service if you military doctors amputate the wrong limb youre out of luck you cannot sue for that for that harm thats been done to you so we filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of 16 men and women seeking to bring former secretary rumsfeld and secretary gates to justice. I heard about the lawsuit and decided to become a part of it. Because i never wanted another woman to go through what i would. Be a lawsuit alleges that they have overseen a system that has deprived the rape survivors of their Constitutional Rights specifically we allege that they deprived them of their substantive due process procedural due process equal protection and 1st amendment rights. Hes sick to see everybody stories. How they kind of closely tied together everybody story somehow has a its can. The military does to People Like Us all the things that they put in place are all pretty much intended to help women deal with being raped better thats what theyre about. And join the military halfway through my senior year of high school awning to serve my country and do new things and challenge myself in a different way. I was in the army about 7 or 8 years before anything ever happened to me. By another c. T. Agent who was senior to me. I was contacted by an agent with 4 riley c. Id who said they were investigating the suspect as a serial rapist who had raped several military Law Enforcement women and i thought there was no way that you know he wouldnt be convicted and i have a difficult time with anything thats not the fact that i had an almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry and hes probably doing the same thing right now. It was a female attendant pull me aside and tell me that you know she had heard about my case and she thought she could talk to me is one female marine to another and she told me what he did was compromised on an opportunity that you presented to him thats not the same thing as rape and you need to know. Him and they may need to go on i think with them and try to having everybody advocate for me to not make me go i just couldnt deal with seeing him so their solution to that was just to put him right in front of me so i could see him the whole time so that i could know where he was and know that he wasnt able to do anything to sit right in front of me and they remember thinking the entire time we were up on the hills and camp. Steeper and. Theres no way out of it i mean if you think about it the only way out of it is like a suicide or a wall so those are your only 2 options suicide it all or deal with it right now im just barely appreciating. Learning how to appreciate being a woman again thats 11 years and. I intend to have fun with it not forcing myself to have fun my. Im trying really hard not to cry but it just. You know and watching you girls having to. Go through what i did it makes me want to explode in here and like knowing that me wanting to commit suicide im not alone me being hidden raped and not all everything the way that they treated me the way that they made me feel im not alone and we have all you guys with all your knowledge and everything you guys are going to stand right up you know. I think the woman who are coming forward in this lawsuit are very courageous they because theyre putting their names out there for criticism. Theyre putting their names out there to go down and his truth is they were the ones who got raped and theres one thing you want to go through life with. Us. Today i stand in solidarity with the courageous women and men who serve in our Nations Armed forces the inspirational plaintiffs you see before you are a small handful of the 10s of thousands of troops and veterans whove been sexually brutalized by their fellow Service Members while defending our nation it is time to finally acknowledge that the military judicial system is broken when it comes to these cases my name is and in my case my command was unwilling to help me i went for help several times with other petty officers and i i was denied help even with other men saying please get her away from him and it was it was still allowed many. People personally me dont go to the public dont let this get out because itll make the military look at i really feel like my. Social responsibility to speak out about this issue especially considering my investigative experience and the fact that the military Justice System allows so many offenders to escape justice. These are. Thanks for being willing to fill me in a little bit on some of the experiences that i name is Regina Basque is and i served honorably in the United States for marine corps for 4 years playing ms currie chokin i served in the United States coast guard i was harassed and sexually assaulted i was administrative leave those charges now going to 9 and a half years of Service Women should not bear their burden that is not part of what we should have been doing to do our jobs were home a criminal activity were talking about a vicious attack that is that is criminal it is an assault. Almost none of these is music or martial and all of the ones that do almost none of them result in convictions seems to me in all the time times that ive looked at these things and the command is the one who has so much discretion i think our advocate should actually be civilians not ones that work in the military i think we should have actual units civilian units it absolutely tears in my inside to think that this is been going on for as long as its been going on and weve never addressed it all people in the military most know if you are a perpetrator of Sexual Assault against someone else military will be to you youre going to be held accountable. When else seemed wrong. Well we just dont hold. Any. Yet to shape out. Disdained to come out to it and in the game because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. There are good tennis and bad good its the bad news in yemen the United States deems to be a threat the good. Word in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. Where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right away military funding an army just was theres no anymore because theres always a small. Really good. Profit. Without the president cost and dreamt. Of the free money. We would have a day of reckoning and prices would revert back to reflect supply and demand. And there would be a catastrophic trap door opening underneath the u. S. Economy because the u. S. Wont do it for itself china will do it for the you in the form of announcing as a surprise 20000. 00 tons of gold and the introduction of a gold backed crypto currency just will kill the u. S. Dollar better than a doornail. And were going to be your purposes oh politics to the people i promise to be you know we will but be. Really really. Was. Pretty good. Now you want to. I know. All. Coming. And. I found it tremendously frustrating when i would demonstrate that enough. And taking it to a commander and having a commander be the deciding authority you know i dont think commanders are capable of making. An object of decision i do not think it should be in their hands so he was just seeking to do discretion away from yes absolutely congresswoman davis and i are both on the Armed Services committee there are a number of issues that youve raised that makes me want to go back and particularly take another look an emotional one individual basis what happens after a crime like that has been committed its a very difficult thing to go through and dont think i dont know i know. The fact that youre willing to tell me your story. Makes it much easier for us to go back and just say you know these are policies that we have to change its a big its a big big deal but you do it really find people like you who stand up for us thank you so much for everything they do. To me. Thank you again for your Service Thanks for mr speaker last year the military received over 3000 reports of Sexual Assault involving other members into service this week 17 better ins are saying that the military ignored their cases of Sexual Assault while they were on active duty today im going to talk about the men corey. Who served in the coast guard from august 2005 to june 2007 she now suffers from p. T. S. D. And abnormal e. G. Did a nerve damage in her faith. Joburg later told the press its like they didnt care it wasnt important i wasnt. Going to play out. He was cross. There is my way. This is. Effective october 20th 2000 and i my overall combined rating is 70 percent. Service connection for anxieties deny Service Connection for displacement and bilateral bilateral this displacement is denied. Oh my god. Ill be right there. My face doesnt have any desks in it thats what the x. Rays show thats what dr karp those letters show you deny medical were there were rumors are true its. Nice to see you again and thank you for coming im going to play a short Public Service announcement and then we can entertain questions i think the prevention aspect of Sexual Assault goes back in some ways to Risk Reduction what it what is Risk Reduction Risk Reduction are ideas like telling women to if theyre going to go somewhere together always have a buddy with them. Are there other examples of risk. I mean i didnt im not familiar that thats out of my area of expertise. Well i want to continue where dr whitley left off looking at what our focus is and thats on prevention as well as as response weve really done a very good job there and the credit goes to dr whitley and her staff that has been working this for the last 5 to 6 years i dont think the department of defense has has really yet embraced that they have a Sexual Assault problem that its not just an issue of the culture environment or that the people are at risk for Sexual Assault that their system itself though just does not value the rights of victims and doesnt provide the medical protection you know i have heard the accusations as well that you know commanders are sweeping this under the carpet now what i would say to the people that have come forward to you is if you feel your commander is ignoring what you have have asked them to do if theyre not taking care of you within that chain of command you need to go to the d. O. D. That are part of the fence Inspector General the g. A. O. General Accounting Office just did a study a report and guess what not one. One case of more than 2500 has been reviewed and investigated by the Inspector General and when asked about that the Inspector General said we have other higher priorities what what you really want is you want there to be a system akin to a civilian system where you go to the police and you youre in the crime is prosecuted by an impartial judicial system as a commander you have no favorites you are equally to take care of every Single Person in your organization thats what commanders are all about these are human beings just like everybody else you cannot be impartial when you are already involved with people in other settings i would take exception with your characterization that the disposition of the case is based on the relationship between the commander. And he alleged perpetrator c. Im going to speak to you with my former commanders had on there is absolutely no conflict of interest you do what the right thing is to do. You have other avenues and those if you feel like you have not been taken care of adequately by your commander go up through your congressman or congresswoman and file a complaint that way you cannot you cant go to a congressman to be to obtain justice for being raped i mean imagine how silly that is imagine if you told civilians that oh geez sorry you were raped go talk to your congressman. You could Say Something to this guy but what you want to see. I dont think its affected his life at all. And people in my old garden that ive talked to. They say they dont see any effect that its had on. Her its. Become a struggle every day its completely changed who i am. Im really hoping that he falls off the coast guard but they never find him im really hoping for that like they fight for so poor mishap got chopped up by the prop. Big that would be great thered be an exciting but i price all over and. I hope this reaches them too you know i hope that someone or someone sees my face you know wherever it is and goes. I know them and theyre talking about me. Because they know what they did you know and then although half the mater is some friend they goes hey we station with her you know and then they cant be a secret anymore. They have to deal with it to you know some way shape or. Most rapists. Repetitive criminals that its a kind of crime that has an obsessive quantity of people do it again and again so the tragedy of that is that every one of these guys who gets off free will be doing it to other women again and again often for years. The average sex offender in their lifetime has about 300 victims and the vast majority of sex offenders will never be caught a lot of civilians see it as being a military problem but it really isnt because 5 percent or a louse of reported offenders are convicted. So almost none of them wind up on the sex offender registry there is no military sex offender list that im aware of but if youre convicted in court felony conviction of sex offense of a sex offense youre going to go on the National List for any sex of bad words were correct that is not the case it depends on what level conviction they got if they received over a year then thats considered a felony but a lot of these cases are pled down so that theyre not felonies the military doesnt like to prosecute people and keep. Those felony convictions i often ask myself the question why wouldnt why would they stop and if theres nothing to stop them like incarceration or some other light major life change theyre going to continue. If you run that the sexual predator through the judicial system and then you give a slap on the hand all youve done is youve done the equivalent of the catch release program youve caught to educate and now you release them back in the home town america he knows a lot more about the Law Enforcement judicial system than he did when he 1st started which makes him a much more capable criminal a much more dangerous criminal they go on to litter. They prey on women and men in our neighborhoods across the United States i mean if we dont care about women or men in the military then we hopefully should care about women and men in our girls and boys in our neighborhoods back home. Were. The thing that broke my heart more than anything about this story was the young women who went in with such ideas and i want to serve my country i want to give back to see a Young Persons hope and i do this and crushed in that brutal way i think we owe our young people love and that. Increasingly women are becoming some of the best trained professionals that we have in the military these are great soldiers and we cant afford to lose them. Can happen after. People deeply believe in their hearts to serve their country they should be given that chance with respect. You know its part of really harm american way even dont we just there purple hearts because we were wounded in time or you know youre going to give us one you know very just saying maybe there should be written for women you. Are served and she who have survived it is your. We have a good army a good military but not a great one and this is the kind of issue that they keeps our military from being great. We can view this as a shared challenges not just a womans issue its not just something that the military has to deal with but as a society were are all in this together. Its our national duty. Imagine being 635 and you have a career and a career involves using your i phone in your computer and things like that in an office. Perhaps you sort of getting going to see circulars you could have to stop doing all of this i mean this is kind of you lose them here its must be for my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it and the box. Around it a very strong Magnetic Field on the card held in my head. Think of it like a real hard pressure my skin burns and that Wireless Access Point out there its just continuous on saying with our students in the schools. We are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and its getting worse. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics. Im sure ill see of that. To my hardest to i dash was taken by the. Daughter she. Was just going. To say country because kenya sounds. Like us. Has suddenly been my mother. Has been a bust with. The monkey comoving nothing. But was unable to. Come. And see me. Just so you dont know a man whos young they say oh i see so much smoke the same and he chooses to sin on. Such she owned a good. Place to. Live. Shes going to. Be. In the woods. With. That story of 3 years ive had to stay with her to the roberts it was unbelievable what we had. Everything and it leads to video an anchor at a major us t. V. Network claims the station quashed her explosive interview linking powerful people to convicted pedophile Geoffrey Epstein respect to the founder of the Investigative Group which obtained footage. Of the only conclusion i can draw is that a lot of these Network Executives are very close to the people that were hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein per amy amy roebuck. And the other stories of the week whistleblowers became the new frontline in the political battle being waged in washington d. C. As a bill to protect their identities it is blocked by the senate
