Jeau Killed Beau
& Casey + Countless More
At Camp Casey
In 2004, my son Casey was KIA in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq.
If you, or anyone you know, is being romanced by a military recruiter: they lie like any other kind of salesman selling a toxic product. Casey, a humvee mechanic, was forced to go into combat just days after arriving in Iraq with the 1st Cavalry—he had been promised by his recruiter in 2000 that, “even if there is a war, you won’t see combat.” Lies and lying liars!
Recently, Beau Biden’s (deceased) addled father said that Beau, a major in the Judge Advocate General (JAG), died “in Iraq.” Of course, he died in Washington DC at Walter Reed in 2015, of brain cancer. Jeau Biden may be forgiven for saying that he died in Iraq, because Jeau Biden doesn’t even know where the hell HE is living most of the time. Beau’s cancer may have been caused by his service in Iraq around the burn pits. What does that say, though, about the legacy of the vicious U.S. invasion and occupation?
Before Beau was deployed to Iraq, Jeau had this to say at a VP debate for the 2008 election: "I don't want him going. But I tell you what, I don't want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years, and so how we leave makes a big difference.”
This is what I said before my son was deployed to Iraq: “If he dies, it will be for lies and oil.” He died, and Jeau Biden had a LOT to do with spreading those lies, as a decade’s long supporter of the U.S. Empire.
JEAU had this to say to CiaNN in July 2003 (over four months after shocking and awful in March)
I think what they gain is not having to tell the American people the truth, and the truth is it's going to cost tens of billions of dollars, it's going to take tens of thousands of troops and we're going to be there for awhile. And we should tell the American people the truth. I support that. I will vote for that.
But what I am frustrated about is their failure to state the obvious. And so, what happens? My folks back home are saying, "Why aren't my sons or daughters home now? I mean, the president didn't tell us it was going to be all this long." And that it was just like the first war, Johnny and Jane were going to come marching home just like they did after Gulf One.
People are frustrated. Let's level with them, so we don't lose their support in an essential operation. We must win the peace in Iraq.
At this point, Jeau was very upset that Assistant Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, would not tell his committee how much it was going to cost—that was his concern. Less than a year later, my son was murdered.
Almost 20 years later, the “peace” still has not been won in Iraq.
Finding civilian casualty numbers is very difficult, but reasonable estimates say over one-million. Iraqi pediatricians I have spoken with are distraught over the number of blood cancers and birth defects happening because of all the depleted uranium, “burn pits,” white-phosphorous and all the other toxic chemicals that spew forth from the U.S. war machine.
Another scandal of the war machine is the alarming number of veteran suicides:
Veteran suicide is one of the greatest crises of our time. Since Sept. 11, 2001, just over 30,000 veterans have died by suicide — four times more than the number of U.S. military personnel who died in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2019, the most recent year of data available from the Department of Veterans Affairs, 6,261 veterans in the United States took their own lives. That is a 7% decrease from the previous year, but, on average, 17 veterans still lost their lives to suicide every day. That’s a staggering number, particularly when compared to the suicide rate of non-veterans. The VA reports that former service members died by suicide at a rate twice as high as non-veterans, and veterans ages 18-34 died at a rate almost three times higher.
My son’s life was stolen by U.S. political lies and profiteering, including those of the current, drooling POTUS.
Jeau Biden’s body count is incalculable at this point, but how can he live with himself knowing his lies and greed killed his oldest son?
Now, under his incomprehensible misleadership, the world is on the brink of another, more devastating world war.

With courageous response to your personal tragedy, you became an inspiration to thousands. I know it came at great personal cost. Much respect and admiration to you.
Bless your heart, Cindy Sheehan. And your mind and soul. You remain an inspiration through all of your heartfelt loss and personal courage in response to all of the senseless affectations of U.S. foreign policy in all of their maddening directions taken.
We were once FB friends for a number of years, most of a decade. I just wanted to tell you---as I've had to tell a number of former acquaintances on that platform---that I was summarily removed, excised from that platform, in a millisecond once their AI or ignorant "minders" in places like the Philippines thought my anti-Nazi posts were otherwise because I used pictures of WW II Nazis to illustrate my anti-Nazi posts. A picture being worth a thousand words has never been so true---in spite of being utterly false. So I'm here to say, "No, I did not block you," as I've had to tell so may other valued friends on Zuck's World.
Peace.
