Richest Treasure Ever Lost - Found
By: Greg Brooks (PRWEB)
Monday, Dec 5 2005, 5:00am

in the website http://blog.myspace.com/  Go to  http://blog.myspace.com/shiprex1

Greg Brooks and others of Sub Sea Research have more dramatic personal and detailed accounts of their salvage exploits going to Haiti and a story of kidnapping and murder. And a story of their diving boat sinking at the pier in Florida and hassles with the marina's owner etc. etc. The stories on myspace.com are a bit more wild and far-out. Basically it gives investors interesting stories for their financial investments. At the end of this URL there is Michaud's incredible story of the U-boat with hitler's gold. This was posted 7 JUL 06.

Underwater explorers who’ve examined the wreck say their research indicates that it’s the Notre Dame de Deliverance — a 166-foot, armed merchant vessel of French origin. The research includes surveys of the site by state-of-the-art remote sensing devices, ROV’s and divers, a study of historical records, and the discovery that a few silver items — including a crucifix, plate and some coins — were brought up years ago by other salvagers. recent underwater video footage is now being analyzed to determine the best procedure for recovery.

Greg Brooks and John Hardy of the Sub Sea Research states “It was one of the richest ships ever lost,” they estimate the value of the Deliverance’s trove could be between $2 billion and $3 billion. The Deliverance departed Havana on Halloween with an armed escort of seven or eight smaller, schooner-like vessels according to Brooks’ research in Cuba and elsewhere. The ship soon met a fate that Brooks now believes was remarkably similar to what befell the Atocha and its hapless crew in surrounding waters 133 years earlier.

MILETTE, DEBORAH ANN 04/2012 NY
Ms. Milette claims she was a nurse in Vietnam serving in "what many would call a MASH unit". Further she states she was a nurse in the "Woman's Army Corp" not the "Army Nurse Corp" or "Women's Army Corp".
 
Note that Ms. Milette is 58 years old and graduated from High School in 1971. Two years of nursing school would put her out of school less than 10 months before the end of the war. Further military.com has her highest rank as E-3. The understanding is all nurses were officers.

Ms. Milette appeared before the Ohio Senate this week and provided opponent testimony to S.B. 310. Her testimony included that she suffers from PTSD from service as a field nurse in Vietnam. Further she states she needs her "service animal" 'Motzie' a cat certified by the V.A. for treatment of her PTSD. She also asserts this claim in a blog at http://www.pictures-of-cats.org/the-working-savannah.html
 
This woman has received a lot of attention for herself and her hybrid cat soliciting donations as a disabled vet. She has used documents fraudulently from the V.A. as to her cat's certification as a service animal. This includes gaining access for her cat in violation of ADA Act at many venues. Further she has had two USDA licenses revoked.

In April she testified before the Ohio Senate and made several misrepresentations in regards to her Savannah cat being a certified "service animal" under the U.S. ADA laws. Ms. Milette has also had problems with the USDA revoking two of her licenses as well as providing a sedative for IV administration without a Rx, veterinary over sight or pharmacy license. Further she claims certifications from the V.A. which the V.A. does not bestow.
 

At the Ohio Senate hearing she stated she lives in Plainville, Ohio in Cochocton County. The county auditor shows no property owned by her or the woman she is always seen with B.J. McDowell.

There is a Bxxxxxxxx J. McDowell in the Municipal Court records using xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The age and physical description are also correct. Note they travel all over the country showing their wild cats including a tiger. Also seen is  Texas listed with no city or address.

Interesting in this post she claims to have been "air born" not airborne and was a member of 10Th Special Forces. Interesting in that 10th Special Forces was not in Vietnam. There is also the part on a   chopper medical rescue where she is the sole survivor.

http://www.norwichbulletin.com/living/x272613537/Pet-Talk-Come-meet-Motzie#axzz1t9X8awed Here the reported states she was a parachutist and "medical corpsman" isn't that a Navy term? She worked as a nutritionist developing meals for NASA at the Natick Research Facility too. There was a "Debra Milette" who worked there. Her? Coincidence? Possible identity theft?
 
Less dramatic is http://blog.newsok.com/politics/2010/03/16/pet-breeders-weigh-in-and-bring-pets/ where she takes her cats to the Oklahoma State House.
 
She claims she was a nurse in Vietnam for 2 1/2 years. That would have put her there after the war.

Actual Record

MIX,  JOSEPH ROBERT 02/2012 LONG BEACH, CA

Claims to be a Ranger, was convicted and did time in KS in Fort Leavenworth prison. Criminal background reportedly includes numerous  felonies from thievery to having phony IDs.  He also claims he was Special Forces in Panama.  Recently he went out of town and was sentenced to home arrest  - and he claimed that the military sentenced him to home arrest for violating his probation.

He has criminal records in CA, AZ, TX and NV.

When confronted, Mix clamed that his record was erased and wiped off when he did time in fort Leavenworth prison, was sentenced and is still on probation. Claims this is why he is on house arrest at this moment. this is why no one can find his military records. States they only do this for people that had special backgrounds that are of importance. He also claims that he still meets with the military regarding his probation (which would be like how many years now???? He stated he was in the military in his 20s. )

DECEASED

05/2008 . HE AND NOW HIS WIFE CLAIM HE HAD valor awards, including a DSC and Silver Star.         ACTUAL RECORDS

http://www.humifish.com/kaliki/injury.html

================================

Dear Chris;

            I have a number of friends who are widows of Special Forces soldiers. I have two sons who are SF sergeants who just left for Iraq and one has a wife and two daughters he loves very much. The other one is very much in love. They and we understand that they could be killed and leave us and their loved ones behind. I have helped several SF widows from the GWOT with problems they have had to deal with, and just lost my team-sergeant from my A-Team in 1969 while he and his wife were with my wife and me in Oklahoma City , so please understand it is something very near and dear to my heart.

            I looked at the website about Vern and also checked around thoroughly. I know that you loved your husband very much and respect that, but I pray that you two did not have children together, because it is unfair to pass on a legacy of dishonor. In short, based on all I have read, your husband was simply a good yarn-spinner who read some VN books to get sketch information, but if he were alive today he could go to prison and be heavily-fined for violations of the Stolen Valor Law enacted in December, 2006. The website indicated he had a DSC, Silver Star, and Purple Heart. It is grossly unfair to true heroes who gave their lives in service to our country and legitimately earned valorous awards only to have impostors go down as heroes when they were never there. He may have been a SP4 or PFC in the US Army reserves and that is it, if he was even in anything. He did not serve in Vietnam and that photo showed with an RT from Vietnam , does not show a photo of your husband. I am sorry, but that is a Montagnard striker in the photo, not an Asian-American. Also, if you will check www.homeofheroes.com it lists all recipients of the DSC and MOH, and you will see your husband is not mentioned.

            None of the dates or stories match up. One of the documents talked about a guy who he said was one of his best friends. How could he be?  The document stated the man was KIA in 1962, but your own timeline shows Vern in middle school then. Another thing is the story about the guy suspended upside down, spread-eagled, penis in his mouth, and saying “Just shoot me,” and that is straight from Hollywood , along with combining together several Vietnam urban legends at once. It never happened and never happened like that, not once, only in the movies.

            Your own reconstruction of his records does not allow for anywhere near the time it takes to earn Jump Wings,  Ranger Tab, let alone a  Green Beret. I earned one, and so did two of my sons, and it is unfair to anyone who has earned a Green Beret when less than 3 out of every 100 who tries makes it, to claim one when even the timeline alone would make it impossible.

            You mentioned Billy Waugh on your site, and he is going to be very upset when he reads the BCC to this, as Billy Waugh was with me all day today and yesterday. I work with Billy and he is a very close friend, and I know he will not be happy about his legendary name being used to aggrandize somebody’s legacy who is fake.

            I know that many think our federal government and the CIA is involved in all these giant conspiracies because that is what Hollywood always shows, but I only wish more people in our government even had the smarts to pull off a few of these conspiracies, but usually they do not.  Why would your husband have been involved in such a Top Secret enterprise working for  the CIA or whoever and have so much success when he could only be very low rank with very little if any college and very limited experience? Use your common sense. It makes no sense at all. Green Berets train for years in many areas. How could he even have had the time to? Billy Waugh for example did 7  and a half years in Vietnam, and most in MAC-V/SOG. Dick Meadows never would have signed your husband’s orders, because he was an NCO back then. He got his commission much later, but even then would not have been high enough rank to sign orders. He was only a Major when he retired. The Tet Offensive had zero to do with Laos . That is like saying Cinco de Mayo was being celebrated in a French neighborhood in Quebec . Does not compute. The reason the SFA did not tell you anything was not because they are hiding anything, they let you know he was not a member, period. It is a non-profit organization like VFW, DAV, etc. There is nothing to hide and no reason to hide anything. They want members, and I am a member. If your husband did all the things he claimed trust me, he would have proudly become a member, and would have been welcomed with open arms.

            Ma’am, I have checked, and you have basically been trying to tell men of honor who risked their own lives to serve this country such as Steve Sherman that they are liars or covering something up.  No, we will not bend when a phony is trying to put something over even in death. It is not fair to those who actually spilled their blood on the battlefield, or those like my sons who are in harm’s way now, who are willing to. It is not fair to you to live with a lie. I was in Phoenix which was Top Secret. Some were in MAC-V/SOG which was Top Secret. That does not make a person’s records Top Secret. When you leave the service you are issued a DD-214, and it does not matter what Top Secret unit you might have served in, your DD-214 shows how many days, months, and years you served overseas, what your actual medals earned were, what schools you attended, your MOS or job title, etc. Nobody’s records are hidden away in a vault or locked in a TS file somewhere. That is another method phonies use to cover up the fact they were never in the service. I do not care if you are Rambo, no matter who you are or what you did, there is proof you served in the military.

            Now , I am sorry to come across so hard and harsh, Ma’am, but I have found out others have tried to help you, and you apparently have watched way too many conspiracy theory movies, so you label those trying to help you as the bad guys. So I guess now I get to be one of them, too. I would prefer to think that you would simply love your husband for all the nice things he did for you and the nice ways he treated you and treasure those memories, because unfortunately the memories he gave you of this colorful military career are made up. If you look into his actual background, you will probably learn the scars he showed you were from a car wreck or something when he was younger.

            By the way, his bio mentioned Kajukempo. My first business partner in my first karate school in the early seventies was Al Gene Carulia, a Kajukempo pioneer  from Hawaii , and I was good friends for years with the late-Ed Parker, father of Kempo in the US , who was from the famous Hawaii Parker family.

            I wish you the very best and am sorry I could not be of more help, and I am sorry for your loss.

Blessings,

Man Busted for Posing as State Trooper, Navy SEAL

Posted January 22nd, 2010 by USNavySeals

Despite the consequences of being caught being someone you are not, there are still people who give it a try; thankfully, many of them end up failing anyway.

According to a news report on WKRC Cincinnati, Charles Moeller, a 64-year-old resident of Union township, used his vehicle to force another driver off the road and then claiming to be a State Trooper. He apparently approached the driver, brandishing some kind of unknown ID card; at any rate, when the driver asked him for his badge and he was unable to produce one, the driver fled. Moeller, however, implied that he had a gun.

A judge in Union Township, Clermont County, set Moeller’s bond at a whopping quarter of million dollars. According to the report, prosecutors only asked for a $100,000 bond. The judge, however, factored in the fact that he had implied having a gun and increased the bond, despite requests by Moeller’s lawyer for a lower bond as his client needed treatment for thyroid cancer.

This is apparently not the first time that Moeller assumed an identity – nor is being a State Trooper his only make-believe gig. When he initially moved into town, he reportedly introduced himself as someone named Gary who was a former Navy SEAL and had several career medals to his name.

One of his neighbors also talked about seeing him flash a Glock-style gun and a badge, and hearing him say that “both came in handy”. He reportedly claimed to neighbors that the gun was given to him by his son, who was an agent with Homeland Security.

Moeller was arrested Wednesday afternoon.

Arundel, ME Claims to have entered the service in 1970 for two years. He further claims to have been in Vietnam and to have been a "green beret". Claims he " worked all over" and " worked for the CIA so can't say much about it".  CLAIMS POW ON BOGUS DD214.

Claims to have been a Green Beret in Vietnam; to have been awarded a Silver Star and multiple Purple Hearts in the 1970-72 period. He was born in 1952. He claims to have been in Vietnam for 15 months.

Claims his father was CIA and guarded Albert Einstein during WW2.  He also claimed to be a clinical child psychologist with a practice in Kendall Square, Boston for the past twenty years.

I have two Mohrs and neither is a Richard. If he wants to validate his claims, he should provide documentation, or if that is not available because the third wife burned all his papers, he can provide specifics about his assignments, detachments, duties and fellow troopers in those detachments.

Forged a DD214 to show service in Korea.

 

".......Dropped from membership roles of the Korean War Veterans Assoc national organization, New York State department and the local Central New York chapter because he was never ( on active duty)   in the Armed Forces during the Korean War...."

excerpted from the Post Standard, editorial by Dick Case.

DONORS BEWARE.........  Reportedly barred from all NY VFW posts. Keeps attempting to raise funds for "phone cards" for wounded vets. When told one  host business would write the check for the amount collected.... Monarski cancelled the fundraiser  rather than allow the host to have any oversight as to monies collected by Monarski.

This is to inform you that Edward Monarski, Syracuse, NY, died a few weeks age.  He appears to have been a fraud to the end, as it is my understanding that he appeared at the Syracuse Veterans Hospital requesting treatment, but died before getting any medical help.  Never served a day on active duty, National Guard member who was never activated, and organized Central NY Chapter of the Korean War with fraudulent DD214 claiming service as Marine  in Korea during that war.

Local court records show 9 cases alone in the County Clerks office mostly to do with fraud. (In one case, he took a elderly woman for almost $23,000.)

He uses the military background to gain their trust - then reportedly steals property, assets or cash.

Former employers state money or stock was missing during his employment with them.

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my fallen SEAL Teammates… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

 

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (SEAL Teams and predecessor units from 1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named JONATHON J. MONTECER, AKA J.J. MOHNS.  I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable.

 

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed participation in SEAL training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that JONATHON J. MONTECER has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL, a Navy UDT “Frogman”, a member of any Naval Combat Demolition Unit (NCDU), or a member of the Naval Amphibious Scouts & Raiders (S&R).

 

Many SEAL imposters when confronted with the information I have provided will resort to claiming that their records are sealed, burned or their SEAL Operations were Classified and that there are no official records of them.

Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training program and then the follow-on secondary training program. The names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program sequence are compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has "no impact" on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the training program.

 

There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs.

 

Once again I must stress that although I am a US Navy veteran, and a former SEAL, I am a civilian performing in an entirely unofficial role. I strongly recommend that you obtain a formal/official US NAVY statement regarding Mr. JONATHON J. MONTECER's claimed SEAL credentials. To do so you may contact the PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in San Diego by calling (619) 522-2823, or you may contact the FOIA COORDINATOR at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in San Diego, California, and submit a formal FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT inquiry in writing addressed to:

 

Commander

Naval Special Warfare Command

FOIA Coordinator

2000 Trident Way

Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me at your convenience.

Montgomery, James  Alwyn

aka Dr. or Prof. Montgomery

2005 Australia

Florida

In an episode entitled Don Juan Down Under, I talk about my ex-husband, James Montgomery, who presented himself as a dashing Australian entrepreneur, but turned out to be a bigamist con artist. The Discovery Network thought the story was so compelling that it selected my show to be the premiere for the new series. Some Lovefraud readers have told me that they’ve already seen promos for the show on the Investigation Discovery channel, although I haven’t.

In TV listings, the Investigation Discovery channel is referred to as ID. The program will air as follows:

  • Wednesday, August 25, 2010  10 p.m.
  • Thursday, August 26, 1 a.m.
  • Saturday, August 28, 4 p.m.

------------------------------------------------------------------

James Montgomery: Exposed in Australia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lovefraud.com launched with the story of how James Montgomery defrauded Donna Andersen. At the same time, the Coalition of Patriots for Military Honor, an Australian organization that exposes military imposters, debunked Montgomery's service claims on its website.

Montgomery was soon featured in a Sydney newspaper under the headline "Meet Major Fraud." Montgomery admitted that he fabricated military documents, but claimed it was part of a "secret government project to demonstrate how easy it is to impersonate a war hero." Due to his fraudulent past, Montgomery lost his university job.

Read on True Lovefraud Stories - James Montgomery

=========================================

On Feb 10, 2006, James A, Montgomery, SFA member A-939 was found to be in such serious violation of the SFA constitution that it required immediate expulsion. The proceedings were initiated, Montgomery was given an opportunity to either appear at a formal hearing or voluntarily resign without further recourse. On Feb 1, he signed a voluntary resignation. He has been expelled from SFA Chapter LX and his name struck from the roster. National has done the same and it will be formally announced in the Spring edition of The Drop.

Moore earns distinguished service cross

Published 1:14am Saturday, August 13, 2011

Andalusia native Cliff Moore was recently awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his valiant efforts in the military.

Moore, who has served three years in the U.S. Army and was recently promoted to the E7 ranking, was honored with the award on Aug. 1.

“Basically, I helped save a buddy of mine,” he said. “I carried him a long way and was being fired at.”.......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One response to “Moore earns distinguished service cross”

unverified__6jm32927 August 17, 2011 at 2:28 am <Link>

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Kendra, please do your research before writing about some clown poser like this. Let me just throw out some obvious shortcomings in this report:
- Making E-6(P) in three years is physically impossible due to time in grade requirements
- His uniform may look nice, but he has no flash behind his Airborne wings and the awards are not properly placed
- With three years in the Army, when did he have time to finish Special Forces selection, the Q-Course and three separate combat tours?!?

This guy is a textbook poser and you need to retract your story. The fact that he would even let a story be released about himself should be the first indicator he is not a true “quiet professional”. Please retract this clown expose and let this young soldier receive the punishment that is bound to come his way.

============================================================================

=============================================================================

I researched and could not find anything about Cliff Moore being awarded the DSC except in this newspaper. Usually, one can see this story on the Army Times or the US Army Homepage.

I started getting suspicious when I read that he made E7 in THREE years and that he completed THREE deployments. Don’t know if those deployments are counted in his time in the Air Force.

His FACEBOOK has him currently listed in Fort Bragg, NC.

The story also states that he “could not share the particulars of the incident because it’s “classified”. That sounds a bit suspicious as well.

Previous addresses include Sheppard Air Force Base and Andalusia, Alabama.

The only Clifton Moore I found on AKO is an Army Specialist who is or was with the HHC 525th BfSB out of Fort Bragg.

I went to the 525th BfSB’s FACEBOOK and could not find one mention of Moore receiving a DSC.

"This individual is clearly a fraud. Among the numerous other red flags, a claim that the details are "classified" is the surest sign of a poser. While there have been some instances of classified DSCs you can be sure that the recipients are not talking to the media about them. "

 

 

Copied from a posting on Facebook
 
MSG Eric A. Hendrix, chief of media relations for the U.S.Army Special Operations Command at Ft. Bragg, released the following statement on Friday:

“The U.S. Army Special Operations Command has no record of an award of the DSC to any Soldier on August 1, 2011, and no indication that Cliff Moore is actively serving within the command, including at 3rd Special Forces Group as is portrayed in the photo which appeared in [The Andalusia Star-News].”

The Star-News retracts its Aug. 13 story, and apologizes to its community, subscribers, veterans and those now serving in the military. The work of numerous retired members of the armed forces who brought this misinformation to our attention and assisted us in resolving the matter is greatly appreciated

False Vietnam claim proves costly
By Paul A. Long
Post staff reporter

The former head of the Boone County Republican Party will have to volunteer hundreds of hours in a Veterans Affairs hospital after he admitted in court Wednesday that he lied about his service in Vietnam during a run for public office last year.

Ed Moore pleaded guilty to a single count of fraud for altering his military discharge record to falsely show the in-country record. In exchange, prosecutors recommended the community service - 350 hours in the next year at a veterans hospital or nursing home. ... more

MULLER, ROGER LOUIS 06/2011 Oakland CA His claim de fame is that he was with the 24th MEU in the 90's and was in 'Central America' where he was wounded. He was with 2nd Recon when assigned to the MEU.   

[1st Force Recon Co began preparing for some training operations in Central America and was  based out of Soto Cano AB in Honduras. It had part of the Army's 10th MTN Div, AF units, SEALS from E.Coast, but  NO USMC units from the E. Coast working with it.]

He also runs the MCHA, Marine Corps Historical Association where he and some civilians claim to conduct 'Marine Corps' training.

mycorps.us is the website.

Muller and his guys not only conduct these 'training' events, but they charge for them, and they are involved in Vietnam themed airsoft websiteforums giving all kinds of bogus information. He's tried telling kids that Marine Recon in 'Nam never wore tigerstipes.

[Force Recon Assoc. members state they DID wear them, at times.]

2nd Recon Bn. Assoc. has no one there who knew him. 

NO RECORDS FOUND.

Murphey, Cassius 12/2002

Burbank, CA Claims Navy SEAL

On a boat crew in Mekong delta and other assorted assignments into the 80\'s, active duty and as a reservist. Started as an enlisted man and then as an officer. 3 years as enlisted and 2 years as commissioned officer (5 years active duty time???)

Thanks for checking with us - we greatly appreciate your interest in
upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH.

If the name you provided was spelled accurately, we do NOT have a listing in our database for anyone named Cassius Murphey. In fact we do not have ANYONE with that last name, and only fifteen (15) men with the similar last name "Murphy" (and none of them is named "Cassius"), in our entire database of  nearly 10,000 names!

Our database is thoroughly researched and based on original US Navy records and documentation dating from the present back to the mid 1940's. Principal in the compilation of our database are the graduation records for the Navy's Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training program. There is no other more official resource, and it is certainly the best and most accurate method of verifying an authentic, genuine Navy SEAL. This is the same database that SEALs use for authentication among themselves when they are not known to each other....

my name is not michael p murphy and i would never falsely  claimed to have served my country, for you to even go out of your way to question this is ludicrous, but just to satisfy your unusual curiosity i will send you pics of my class, and my real full name. for legal reasons i had to have my name legally changed also due to my prior and continued service for our country. and contrary to your sources info, there may indeed be no "secret seals" but for some who moved on to higher security positions in various federal; agencies, their records are indeed sealed and secret to any agency other than the nsa cia and state department. please do yourself a favor and find a better hobby, but just to satisfy your curiosity and to honor my teammates i will send you some info

Mr Murphy,

I am a former Navy SEAL (Vietnam era) and have been asked to verify your claims of being a former SEAL yourself. Your name (Michael Murphy) only appears in the SEAL Database as belonging to a deceased Navy SEAL who was Killed In Action. That information was forwarded to Mr.                               in response to his inquiry for verification of your credentials, along with a list of questions which any SEAL will gladly answer – especially when queried by another Navy SEAL. The provenance of your credentials is at stake.

You have informed Mr.                           that you undertook a legal name change for “legal reasons”, and that seems reasonable. A few other SEALs have had their names changed legally; it happens (but very rarely).

You then sent Mr.                            a photograph and information that had been taken from a web site belonging to a close friend of mine – Navy SEAL “Doc” Rio – and you then claimed that you were in that photograph with other SEALs, and you apparently wished for Mr.                      to believe that the letter attached to the picture was one which you had exchanged with Doc.

I must presume, therefore, that you intend that Mr.                        should believe your identity to be that of “STEVE MESSER ENCS(SEAL) Class 140”.

If you ARE, indeed, ENCS STEVE MESSER, then you will certainly recognize my name as that of the Administrator for the CyberSEALs VIRTUAL TEAM COMPOUND (VTC) discussion forum where you are one of our 350+ UDT and SEAL members. As such, you will also most certainly recognize the need for verification of credentials and will have not difficulty transmitting to me the screen name you are currently using in the VTC and the screen name that I use in the VTC.

If you ARE ENCS STEVE MESSER then you’ll have no difficulties doing this, nor will you object to doing this because you know how large the problem is with SEAL imposters. You will also most certainly have no difficulty in describing to me why you claim to have legally changed your name to “MICHAEL MURPHY” while you are still known to all of your SEAL Teammates on the VTC as STEVE MESSER. I don’t recall reading any mention of your legal name change on the VTC, although the subject has come up on numerous occasions on the discussion forum.

If you ARE ENCS STEVE MESSER then you’ll have no difficulties explaining why the email address you are using as “MICHAEL MURPHY” mazinga_07@yahoo.com is not the same email address that you use as a member of the VTC… and you’ll be able to provide me with that email address that you use on the VTC

You see Mr. “MURPHY”… I know STEVE MESSER… and I know that you are NOT STEVE MESSER, and that you cannot provide the answers to the questions I have posed here. Nothing you can root out from the Internet or steal from someone else’s web site will answer the questions I have posed.

ATTENTION: Senior Chief Steve Messer

The man to whom this email is addressed is claiming that he is YOU… but is claiming that he has legally changed his name to “MICHAEL MURPHY” for legal reasons. When questioned about his claimed SEAL credentials he offered vague answers, claimed that he was a “secret SEAL” and that his records were “secret” and could not be obtained except by NSA, or CIA officials… and then when he was pressed further he offered your name as his own. He pulled a picture of you from Doc Rio’s web page, along with part of a letter that you sent to Rio, and he used that photo and that letter in an effort to support his false claims of being YOU. His true legal name is Michael “Mike” Murphy, his email address is mazinga_07@yahoo.com, and he has apparently taken advantage of the similarity between his own legal name and the name of our fallen brother “Michael Patrick Murphy” recipient of the MOH (posthumously).

Contact me at your earliest convenience and I will do all in my power to assist you in pursuing a legal case for STOLEN IDENTITY.

Hooyah!

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my SEAL Teammates who gave their lives in service to our nation… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

While the name “MICHAEL P. MURPHY” does, indeed, appear in the SEAL Database (SEAL Teams and predecessor units from1943 to the Present Day), the owner of that name is a highly honored US Navy SEAL who was KILLED IN ACTION on 28 June 2005. He was posthumously awarded the MEDAL OF HONOR for actions he took to save his men; actions which ultimately resulted in his own death. That one man who was KILLED IN ACTION is the only man in the entirety of the 17,300+ entries in the SEAL Database for the name you provided – “MICHAEL P. MURPHY”. There are no other entries for that name.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed attendance at BUD/S training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that the man you know as MICHAEL P. MURPHY has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL, a Navy UDT “Frogman”, a member of any Naval Combat Demolition Unit (NCDU), or a member of the Naval Amphibious Scouts & Raiders (S&R).

Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the BUD/S Training program and the follow-on secondary training program; the names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program are compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has no impact on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the training program. There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs.

I must confess that I am stunned that someone would stoop so low as to attempt to take advantage of the fact that his name was similar to that of a heroic Navy SEAL who was killed in action and attempt to pass himself off as that man. Making false SEAL claims without earning the credentials is insulting enough, but to attempt to take advantage of a name which is similar to that of a respected fallen warrior is nothing short of despicable.

Once again I must stress that although I am a US Navy veteran, and a former SEAL, I am a civilian performing in an entirely unofficial role. For formal/official US NAVY confirmation of my findings regarding the man’s lack of SEAL credentials you may contact the FOIA COORDINATOR at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in San Diego, California, and submit a formal FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT inquiry in writing.
 
Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me at your convenience.

 
Respectfully,
