2 Top Naval Intel Officers Placed On Leave

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 
Two U.S. admirals — including the director of naval intelligence — are under investigation as part of a major bribery scandal involving a foreign defense contractor, Navy officials announced Friday night.
 
Vice Adm. Ted Branch, the service’s top intelligence officer, and Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, the Navy’s director of intelligence operations, were placed on leave Friday, and their access to classified material was suspended, the Navy said in a statement. 
 
Both admirals are being investigated for their ties to a Singapore-based defense contractor, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, whose chief executive was arrested in September on charges that he bribed other Navy officers into giving him classified information in exchange for prostitutes and cash.
 
This is going to seem odd for me to say but since when did the top brass start policing itself?  Know what I mean? Granted this does involve intelligence sharing.  I don’t know, it all just seems weird.  This comes as at least a dozen other top officers have been purged from the military by Obama.  This is either one of two things.  One, it is what they say it is, purging corruption from the top brass is a must and I have no doubts that corruption is rampant.  Or two, this is a political purge.  The kind of political purge that is carried out in tyrannical regimes the world over for centuries.  Hard to tell in the land of the free but both I think are possible. -Mort

      why doesn’t the dirty disgusting traitor and fraud Obama just fire the whole military on charges of running gypsy kidnaping rings our of Albania? Then he can recruit an army of negro and criminal invader rabble from the streets of Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, etc. to replace them. Maybe Barry can locate his former gay transgender male stripper nanny from Indonesia to become Secretary of Defence.

        Don’t laugh, it is probably already in the pipeline!

        :sad:

          You idiots..

          Bush started bringing in the Arab terrorists through immigration…It’s Obama’s job to give them amnesty…

        AMERICA! You’re F***ked! :lol:

    • judahbenhuer

      C’mon…the administration cannot even manage all the scandals within itself but somehow we are to believe there is a crusade to purge the military of corruption?

      Really?

      I would wager that all these officers have something in common, and it is not corruption.

      Anyone at any given time can be accused of anything, and sad to say, today’s average American takes a headline without question and immediately mingles with all the “other” runners, all on team “disinfo”.

      The accusation, providing that it targets those dissenting voices disagreeing with the direction and leaders of our country, has far more implication than the actual truth. Just look at Benghazi…in fact, mention Benghazi to your peers or workspace. How many people actually have any more knowledge than the usual talking points by the evening gutter-spouts?

      No…these officers have been in the service for 15 years or more and well seasoned in their current post, and suddenly there is no confidence and ALL are being investigated for “something”?

      Here are some often used and well bloated keywords that will clear a room and isolate an individual faster than a male goat in rut spilling piss all over his face: under investigation, corruption, hater, racism, christian, tea party, freedom, constitution, conservative, liberty, founding fathers, amendment, homeschooler, hunting, guns, veteran and Jesus Christ. There are a host of others, but these are pretty much the bedrock of just about everything this administration, through past decisions and action, find hostile.

      Again, the accusation against these officers have more weight than the truth. Will you EVER hear if/when these officers are exonerated, or will THAT TOO be buried in a short paragraph on page 13?

      As if that were not enough, who exactly is this administration hand picking to replace them, and why?

      How about going after all the commands that have allowed military rape!

      If we jailed those proven to run our countries drug smuggling … Clintons’- gone, Bush Sr – gone, Obama – gone, Holder – gone, Mitt Romney – gone …
      Now let’s go through the list of those who directed lives to disappear… Clinton’s on top of list and then … oh no ..

    • liberty49

      It sounds to me like our Fuhrer-in-Chief is still purging the military of everyone who disagrees with his policies or refuses to promise to shoot fellow Americans.

    • JKnTX

      Interesting. He keeps hitting the Navy.
      De Baskin-Robbins man is a great leader!
      At least Comrade Stalin did serve in the Red Army though!

      :twisted:

    • 63 Marine

      I’m wondering why all of these military commanders don’t get together and remove the lying, muslim queer from the White Hiuse????

      • W. Willow

        This may be why they were removed. Mutiny in the air?

    • Nowhereman

      These men are being removed not for reasons above as these reasons are fabricated.
      These are men who will not bend to Obama’s will and need to be removed.
      Little does he realize that everytime he pulls this stunt, it opens more eyes of the public and hardens the will of Americans and the military to be on guard against his plan.
      The skies are darkening but in the end, the people of this great country will perceiver.
      The military works for the people of this great nation, not the president.
      He is scared, he is worried as other forces within this country are prepared to save it from his pathetic ideology.
      This nation will return to greatness and families will be able to raise their children in safety and secure in the knowledge that within this continent resides the greatest nation on the face of the earth.
      We will overcome our problems by removing the causes of our problems.
      God bless the people of this country, and give them the will to succeed and the morals to accomplish greatness.

    • Sailor72

      Investigate? How can they find anybody guilty of anything while letting Obama, Hillary, Sebelius, Holder and Learner go free with the multiple crimes they’ve committed?

    • JustAnotherBill

      If they are corrupt then they need to go. But under Obaama and his Dummy-crats everything has to be questioned and checked then double, even triple checked as this president knows not how to be on the level with Americans. Any actions he takes is most likely done to tear this country down even further than the fundamental change he has enacted so far much to our detriment. Like the his birth certificate and his lies the truth will come out, lets hope it’s not to late for the rest of America.

    • Sailor72

      Why does Obama hate the Navy worse than any other branch of the military? Is it because he can’t swim?

    • harvtrueword

      this is all a part of Obamas purge of top brass they will not go along with him when it comes to killing Americans. Since when has Obama been concerned about wrong doing especially when it is done by his own people? if he is concerned then many more should have been fired or replaced from his many other scandals. Stop naively thinking of Obama as a Christian American with moral values. he is not Christian but rather a proven Muslim, he is not American in any traditional sense, he is a committed dedicated Muslim. He has no moral values except those set forth in the Quran. he has allowed a very deep infiltration of like minded Muslims into every govt position, and eventually we will have Muslim commanders of every branch of military. he has long ago placed ”political’ ‘officers in all branches in the top positions ready to step in on relief of the current top commander on manufactured charges. This is a old Russian tactic.really what news you hear on these sites are months behind or way past the fact.

      I think it’s possible that there is a war going on within the U.S. Government that folks do not know about. I think it may, but I’m not sure, have something to do with those composing the shadow government and those against it. Those favoring the shadow government are those that are trying to circumvent the Constitution, are Globalists, and are in collusion with the corpocracy and the bankers to form a U.N. one world entity. This war is going on as we speak. It should be going on in the streets, but the U.S. does not have a credible populace.

      I am thankful that the Bolsheviks that are doing this to our military do NOT understand the “chain of command” that exists in the US military forces. When some one is removed, some one steps up from below and carries on. This is not Stalinist Russia. When Stalin removed all his generals there was chaos. There was total incompetance. When Hitler removed his high ranking officers who knew what they were doing, he tried to micromanage military operations. Both were loosers in their own way.
      Obama and his shadow Jarrett are both loosers and Hillary will not step into a ready made trotskyite dictatorship.

    • Upaces

      Prince, something else is going on….it is not always what it made to “appear” the obvious.
      Obama has a pattern over the last year of firing, retiring high rankin officers who are faithful to the U.S. vs. him.

    • CaptAmerica

      Does this witch hunt mean that there are still a few patriots left in the military? Obama is trying his best to weed them out and replace them with those sharing his hatred for America and other like minded Communists.

    • Anonymous

      The latter is more correct. This is what happens when you refuse to blow up Americans!

    • TwelveStrand85

      I suspect they were set up. Just a hunch…but this has got to go along with the other “replacements”…..they are replacing these guys with more cooperative brainwashed individuals.

    • Skyewriter

      There are more options than your two alternatives. Suppose Obama learned that a right-wing group within the military planned to stage a coup and impose a Christian theocracy on the United States? Efforts to root out that group would not be an example of tyranny but of opposition to tyranny.

    • doomswoman1

      “Statement’: We don’t know what’s going on.
      Debate: Obama’s a queer. He hates the military. He’s a muslim, commie, terrorist, community organizer from Kenya.
      Result: We still don’t know what’s going on. However, we do know that the above ‘debate points’
      are not proven, and simply ad hominem attacks in lieu of real information.
      The two officers in question are suddenly “Persecuted patriots” despite the fact that we don’t know what they’ve done. They could be running child slavery rings. They could be providing drugs to senior officers. They could be selling weapons. They could be selling leaked information to such stalwarts as Snowden. But No. They’re good upstanding ‘white men’. I mean, just look at that picture! So that dirty Kenyan is obviously out to ‘get them’.
      Does anyone actually ‘know’ the people involved? I doubt it. But many good, upstanding, clean-cut, nice to their mother people have actually been criminals. You don’t need a bandana to commit a crime. Just ask Madoff.
