Military Dragnet: Recent Episodes

Handbook for the recently deceased press

A show about the crime that takes place in the Military and the Court Martial that follows. These are stories strait from the Courts Martial of America's Armed Forces. They all have an ending, no unsolved mysteries here. I use the real names of the convicted and tell the real horror of their crimes. It you like horror, why waste your time on made up fiction when you can hear the true horror that takes place. Most of the servicemen and women are honorable people who are true to their oath, but not all. I was a Military Police Investigator and have a unique perspective on the investigations.

Tommy Silverstein killed Officer Hoffman at USP Marion. He was a Commissioner of the Aryan Brotherhood. I tell you the story behind the murders he did in prison. The aftermath of his killing a correctional officer. The race war he started inside the federal prison system. But to really understand him, I tell you of his early days as a child. The trouble his parents go into while he was still young. I don't condone any of his crimes but there is a reason for everything. I tell you those reasons.

I retired 11 years ago. 5 Years ago USP Marion hired a man in a dress, or as some call them a trans woman. I feel sorry for the people who think they are the wrong gender, it is a mental illness. Worse yet, the man in a dress they hired did what most do. He showed up, caused chaos and then quit to file a law suit. He claimed a real woman refused to call him her, and let him in the bathroom with her. You can pretend a cat is a dog, but it don't make it true. Go ahead and complain and boycott me. A man in a dress i not a woman. Men don't get pregnant. Stop pretending it's a cat if it barks.

We have a spy and a dope smoking basketball player in Russia. Nobody cared about the spy until the woman basketball player got caught with illegal drugs in Russia. Now the USA is considering a trade to put the Lord of War back on the streets to kill thousands with his weapons. All to protect a woman who can't stop using drugs even where it's illegal. I knew Bout in prison. He is an articulate man who speaks English very well. Obviously intelligent he will undoubtedly return to selling death. I made this recording several years ago after spending time with Bout in USP Marion's administrative detention unit. I worked at Marion when it was the nation's toughest prison for 23 years. Find out what life is like for a maximum security prison guard in the Federal System. I am not a notorious person but I have known very well many who are or were. Mafia Bosses, Serial Killers, Mass Murderers from small African Nations convicted by the international court of crimes against humanity, and the occasional drug kingpin. Bout is in the news recently, so I thought this would be a topical subject for this podcast.

When a prisoner escapes prison there is a preset response. One of the actions is to put static guard posts in strategic locations. Places a person on foot would have to travel through to depart the vicinity of the prison. This video is made at one of those locations. I answer some common questions and talk about prison escapes as well. This is one of the posts that were manned in the last escape attempt at USP Marion where the prisoners shot a local Sheriff. The photo of the man waiving at the camera is a prisoner who has been put to death for murder. He is no longer in federal custody due to his execution.

There are lots of rumors and false stories about what happened to Gotti in prison. I was there, I saw it, I know the truth. Now after listing you will know the truth too. I was a prison guard at USP Marion, the only Federal Supermax prison that Gotti did time in. We replaced Alcatraz prison. I even met men who did time at Alcatraz. I read Gotti's mail, fed him his meals in his cell and kept him from being beaten to death by the Aryan Brotherhood, the most vicious prison gang in the Federal System. Hear what happened to the man who beat Gotti down that day.

I knew this member of the most dangerous prison gang in America, The Aryan Brotherhood. The AB's are the reason the Federal Government built the ADX in Colorado. They are responsible for about 25% of the killings in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, but they are less than 1% of the population. The mob might have run the streets of New York City, but the AB's run the inside of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I talk about Ted Patterson as a typical soldier of the AB's. From the time he first stepped into prison, till he was taken out feet first. I tell you where his unmarked grave is and how he has been forgotten. Prison famous means nothing. Here is proof of a guy who was well known inside that nobody ever heard of or ever will. Rich in Federal Prison is less than living on Social Security at the lowest pay. This is a true story. I name the names and places. I was there for 23 years at the Super-max Federal Prison USP Marion, the ancestor of Alcatraz and the predecessor of the Colorado ADX.

You won't hear of this case anywhere. It does not fit the media narrative today. I am a contrary person and love to point out things that the mob thinks are not true and never happen. There was no lynching involved. No front page headlines. No towns were burned down. This case was quietly swept under the rug. I will note that Ms. Ramon has had many last names. She switches them often. I did not include any of them here as it may allow her to put this incident behind her and live a productive life.

Charges of prosecution for political purposes were thrown around. A man was so guilt ridden he confessed to his mother who got her boy sentenced to life in prison, at hard labor. Was the prisoner a thief, Korean, Chinese, a spy, a saboteur, a guerilla? What was the victims real name? Was the killer ordered to kill? The crime was investigated and men were charged and sent to prison, but were they all guilty? Lots of questions, most are answered. A case that effects our military to this day.

This is the recording of the actual appeal in it's entirety. The judges are civilian judges that oversee the Court Martial System. Normally they have the final word on any courts martial. The only other court that could hear this case is the US Supreme Court. They will not hear this case. It is interesting to hear how the government is turning over more and more authority to the military to try by courts martial, and convict civilians of crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, (UCMJ). This recording was difficult to obtain. I know of no other place to hear it.

Here is a very long answer and story about that question. The US Army has given itself the authority to convict people by military court martial who have never been in the military. They also have the ability to try people for crimes they commit after they retire that have nothing to do with the military. Every year the US Military gains more and more power over civilians. This was a test case. There have been books written about what happened and the legal ramifications. The over one hour part two is the appeal before the military appeal court by the military lawyers. At first this case was overturned but later after the political powers at be got wind of the courts reversal of the conviction they changed their minds and upheld the conviction. This is a landmark case that everybody who is in the US military, retired soldier, or is a contractor for them should know about.
