As noted previously, Michael “Mikey” Weinstein claims the US military is overrun by Christians trying to take over the world<\/a>, and he is sacrificing himself as a martyr in a one-man crusade to save us all<\/a>.\u00a0 Except…<\/p>\n

It seems Weinstein is fast friends<\/em> with the top leaders of the very military services he claims he’s fighting<\/em> — contrary to his frequent claims he is but a lowly David fighting an institutional Goliath.<\/p>\n

In two examples, Weinstein\u2019s \u201cclose personal\u2026relationship\u201d with an Air Force base\u2019s commanding general has already been discussed<\/a>, as has his unusual access to an Air Force<\/a> Colonel\u2019s non-releasable records.\u00a0 In a more significant example, The JAG of the Air Force for nearly 6 years, LtGen Jack Rives, was the legal face of the Air Force as it (presumably) fended off Weinstein’s attacks.\u00a0 After he retired, though, former TJAG LtGen Rives turned ardent cheerleader for Weinstein’s crusade<\/a>\u00a0against religious freedom in the US military.<\/p>\n

Now, Weinstein has publicly announced that very recently retired LtGen William Lord<\/a> has “long” been an ally for Weinstein’s cause.\u00a0 At his retirement just\u00a0a year ago, LtGen William Lord was the\u00a0AF Chief Information Officer —\u00a0in the office of the Secretary of the Air Force.\u00a0 Recalling his recent visit to the “well-appointed” office of the Superintendent of West Point, Weinstein said<\/a>\u00a0[emphasis added]:\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I was honored to be accompanied by my trusted friend, USAF Academy Class of 1977 classmate and longtime, loyal MRFF ally<\/strong>, recently retired United States Air Force Lt. Gen. William T. Lord<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Weinstein’s reference to his “classmate” is interesting, given that the Air Force staff is currently made up largely of Generals who were Weinstein’s subordinate cadets at USAFA.)<\/p>\n

Like LtGen Rives, LtGen Lord was part of the very Air Force Headquarters staff to whom Weinstein’s MRFF\u00a0and friends lodged complaints<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Weinstein claimed he held influence<\/a> over the Chief of Staff of the Air Force; the TJAG and USAF CIO were his allies while they were serving on the HQ staff. With all these friends in high places, who was Weinstein fighting<\/em>?<\/p>\n

To be fair, Weinstein and these\u00a0allies wait until their retirement to announce their “longtime” alliance, and they are free to associate with any ideology they choose after retirement, including Weinstein’s conspiracy theory that Christians are trying to start a nuclear war<\/a>.\u00a0 Their public alignment so soon after retirement — along with accusations that Weinstein has unusual access to military leadership — begs the question, though.<\/p>\n

Still, Weinstein’s recent public relations faux pas<\/em> may have cost him some of his capital.\u00a0 While he managed to get a personal email response<\/a> from the new Air Force Chief of Staff, it seems General Welsh has now followed the lead of retired USAFA Superintendent LtGen Gould<\/a> and turned off the direct-line bat signal<\/a>\u00a0(much to Weinstein’s frustration, no doubt).\u00a0 Other reports indicate the Air Force is “no longer returning [Weinstein’s] phone calls” after the April conflagration<\/a> generated a host of bad press for the Air Force.<\/p>\n

For a man with “trusted friends” and “allies” at the top of the Pentagon, and\u00a0who once arrogantly described his own self-importance by claiming\u00a0he let four-star General’s calls go to voicemail because he was busy watching TV, that’s got to bruise the ego.<\/p>\n
