Hi friends, Jean Valentino and welcome again to another episode of Gene Valentino’s Grassroots Truth Cast. Our

guest today is Commander uh Arvis Owens. Uh graduate in 1995 of the United States

Naval Academy, served our nation honorably as most do and uh then has um

been uh unfortunately wrongfully convicted uh for sexual assault within

the Justice of the Navy system. Uh Commander, thanks for being with me

today. for having me, sir. We’re going to have a full conversation about um those charges that were

wrongfully brought against you, what you went through, what you’re doing to get out of them, and a discussion with you

about the distinction between the prosecutotorial process, the system of

justice, both within uh the civilian life, most of us live every day, versus

the uniform uh code of military justice. uh quite a different justice system that

uh imposes its will on the military in quite a different way than you and I are

used to on the civilian side. That discussion and more right after this.

Truth Cast with Commander Arvis Owens. Now, I say Commander Arvis Owens for a

reason. I’m uh insensed and slightly offended that that commander title has

been removed, right? Yes, sir. Because you were cart marshaled. Yes, sir. What year? I was court marshaled in 2013. And since

then, you’ve been going through a a process for these 12 years in trying to

uh gain back uh his credibility, his reputation, his character, both in the

military uh environment as well as in civilian life. And more importantly,

we’re here to today to help him do just that. Whether it’s a United States

congressman, whether it’s a United States senator, or any of the active

members of the military system, we are looking to see if Arvis Owens uh charges

against him can be exonerated. He was wrongfully accused for something that

had no standing and no evidence in a civilian court of law. And he’s going to

explain more about that in a minute. You know, there’s an old saying, failure

to defend the rights of other people may someday result in your rights not being

defended. Arvis, I’ve asked you to join me here today because I feel that’s

what’s happened to you. Your rights have not been defended in a system. I don’t

know what the motivation is. I don’t know if it’s a military desk jockey

who’s pushing papers around, who’s a bureaucrat by nature. I don’t know if

this person is really a frontline hero who has suffered from the trials and

tribulations of direct conflict or anybody in between.

But failure to defend the rights of other people may someday result in your rights not being defended. And folks,

that’s what we’re doing here today. I implore you to step up and step out and

uh do what you can to help support Arvis because it’s not just about Arvis. It’s

about all the other military men and women who have been wrongfully charged and accused of sexual assault in one

manner or another, which resulted in their demise, their elimination, their court marshalling in the United States

military. You came out of the U Naval Academy in 1995.

Yes, sir. You grew to the title of commander. Yes, sir. What happened?

Okay. And I’m happy to answer that. I I want to address two things first with the audience to be completely fair. One,

I support all true uh sexual assault survivors. We support them. This is not

anything at all against them. We support them. And the second thing was I I am

married. I was married at the time. It was an extrammarital uh relationship briefly with a civilian coworker. So I

want to put that out. A civilian coworker base at a military base.

So what ended up happening was in 2012 uh that coworker falsely accuse me of

sexual assault. So 2013 I go to court marshall. I testify in my own defense

and in a military system, the commander who brought the charges got to pick the jury panel. We call it a panel. They got

to pick. I stood, I I testified, we presented all our

evidence. The same panel that said they found me not guilty of six of the seven

charges of sexual assault. And the seventh one, they came back during sentencing and said, “We made a mistake.

we’d like to revote it because of she was saying inconsistent statements. So, you can’t say lie in a court of law. You

have to say inconsistent statements. The judge said she’s been doing that the whole time.

I was facing 30 years in prison if these charges were true. And the panel that

day gave me zero time in jail, but a dismissal, which is a dishonorable discharge, as well as I was forced to

register as a sex offender. But none of it was thrown out on face

because of the inconsistency of the evidence. The only thing that was thrown out was there was a charge that said failure to

follow a general order. And the problem with that that charge was the panel

didn’t have a copy of the general order and the judge even said that there was no evidence that I had violated that

general order. So the appellet court threw out that one charge. Yes. But not the the the sustained big charge.

And so what happened? You uh obviously were embarrassed at the in your family

environment course and on the personal level. Uh you’ve obviously grown from

this experience. I presume your family has too. Yes, sir. And um uh to your credit, you stayed

together as a family. Yes, sir. We did. Congratulations. That’s God bless you because that’s not easy for most. Right.

Uh what happened with the prosecutotorial process as it relates to

the United States military? So here’s what happened, sir. So the panel felt so upset about this, they

wrote letters to the convening authority. So the convening authority, unlike in a civilian case at that time,

could have thrown out the charges, order a new trial, and that’s what I asked for. The panel, the same people that

said innocent or guilty, they said, “Hey, he didn’t do this.” They wrote letters, enough of them to overturn the

panel wrote letters. Wrote letters. Enough of the panel members. It was three of them. Well, who’s against you that’s causing

this blockage. So, it was there were political wins that wanted convictions regardless of

what the evidence showed at the federal level or at the administration level of the prosecution.

So it goes all the way back and there will be people who judge me for saying this, but it was President Obama and

Senator Kristen Gillibrand. They did what they what they wanted to do was there

was at the time the Me Too movement as well as the believe women movement. And so I believe they wanted to score points

with women potentially voters by regardless of what the evidence showing

getting convictions, prosecutions and convictions. Well, it it goes against it first of

all, it it goes against what I’d consider due process. Yes. It goes against what I’d call fair and

fair and equal or balanced approach to the application of justice. It doesn’t

seem to um end up being in a good place at the end of the day. I don’t know who

who got a win out of this. uh the politicians who supported it, who

who got the results that they wanted and I would scarce call it a win because as you said in your opening monologue is

just injustice for anyone is injustice for everyone. That’s right. So you this was uh post

1995. When did the court marshall occur? 2013. It September 2013.

2013. So since 2013 about 12 years ago uh you have been on a a mission.

Yes sir. And the end of the mission first folks from my point of view is getting his

charges against him expuned and totally removed. contact your congressman or US

senator and have them meet Arvis Owens, former commander, and let them help let

them have a chance to talk to uh Commander Owens directly and see what you can do to um exonerate yourself.

Let’s put it this way. Donald Trump is pardoned people much more egregious

issues than yours. Right. And uh I am anxious to see President

Donald Trump do what he can to help you here. It’s why I’ve asked you to come on this show. If we don’t and the military

code of justice and getting the judicial prosecutorial process uh in parody with

the civilian side seems to make the most sense. and working in a vacuum in

another with another set of rules of justice does not seem to be apppropo in

today’s world. What say you? What happened since uh that court marshall?

So what happened since that court marshall was I started trying to advocate going to media sources. So I

want to thank you for having the courage to put this information out because most mainstream media will not.

I can see why. And so other men started coming to me and saying, “It happened to me. It happened to me. It happened to

me.” And I realized how wide and how big this was. It wasn’t just about Arvis

anymore. It was about the thousands of other men who also were falsely accused and wrongly convicted. Some of them

still in prison to this day. So what I’ve tried to dedicate myself to is become an advocate to draw attention to

their cases to get them justice as well. Well, using you as the example and

getting yourself reversed first might be the precedent needed for these other

guys. So, what are you doing to reverse your condition? So, we’re we’re trying to to reach out

to politicians, reach out to the Department of Defense because they have mechanisms where they could go back to

calf, which is the court of the armed forces. It’s like the Supreme Court for the military to look at these cases and

reverse them. I didn’t get a calf review. I got a service level appeal and and to go back to the story a little bit

the Navy wrote a letter to the court of appeals to say not to give me an appeal which is a very rare sit situation. So I

am working those channels so that they review these cases and set up something called a conviction integrity unit or an

innocence project. Gan, most people don’t know that every American in this country is protected by

either a conviction integrity unit or an innocence project against false accusations. Interesting. Except members

of the US military who were specifically exempted. And so I’m pushing for the creation of

that body to to reverse these. It almost seems that you um they don’t

have to pro prove your guilt. You have the game starts with you having to prove

your innocence. That’s correct, sir. And that is the contrary to what we have in the civilian judicial system. I’m not a lawyer, but I

know that much. Military members can be sent to court and convicted with zero

probable cause, no unanimous juries, and be denied access to evidence and be

titled uh for 40 years even if they are found not guilty in a court of law.

Yes, sir. How can that be without clear and convincing evidence showing your

guilt? Pressure, sir. It’s pressure to get convictions. Pressure to satisfy a

political agenda. And the most nefarious thing is without the media to shine a

light on it, no one would know. Why did Christian Gillibrand and Barack Obama work against your release?

I believe it was because they wanted to appeal to women voters to say, “We

believe you no matter what.” They would say, “There is no perfect victim.” I

would argue, “There is no perfect accuser. Why does he need to be perfect in order to get justice?”

And what are you doing specifically right now to try to uh get Congress to reverse? This requires legislative

action. Yes, sir. It does. to to as a candidate for Congress less than a year ago. I I

can tell you my phone was ringing off the hook. I couldn’t even as a candidate

just to try to make sure that I was on their radar once elected. I regret not getting elected, but um there were so

many issues and the uh uniform code of military justice was just one of the

areas of concern, not to mention the VA hospital system. So sir, what what I’m

doing is going after the four Rs, I call it. Go ahead. The military cares about recruiting, retention, reputation, and resources.

And so by educating the American public, specifically parents of young men who are interested in the military to say

this could happen to your son, right? I said, imagine a system where your daughter is believed, but your son is

not. You believe in this country. Your dream was to join the military, but a

false accusation is enough to not only destroy you, but destroy your life and the people who love you.

Yeah, but what’s triggering you, Arvis? You have every reason to be so angry

with what has been uh prosecuted against you in the way it has been. And here you

are maintaining your honor and your integrity to try to fix an unjust

process within the military code uh the military code of justice.

Jean, I’ll tell you this quick. I don’t understand how you you you have such a passion. I mean, I do understand

it’s your love of country like my love of country. And that’s why we’re here today, folks. This man’s got to get

released and be exonerated by the president of the United States for this wrongdoing. Keep going. I interrupted

you. So, sir, a mother, she is a retired police officer. Um, her son was falsely

accused. So, she didn’t believe it at first, but she hired two trained detectives, retired detectives, to

investigate her son’s case before she supported him. And then they came back unanimously and said, “Your son didn’t

do it.” And so she supported him. And then she saw what happened with the system. She said, “Arbvis, I thought the

generals would protect my son. So I’m happy you were falsely accused.” And I was like, “What?” She says, “Because if

you weren’t there to fight, who would be to bring attention to it?” And what I told her is I thanked her and I said,

“We all thought that the generals and the admirals would protect our sons and we found out they won’t. that for

promotion reasons they want to go forward. So you ask why I’m so passionate is when I work with great

people like that who they have no other option. You know they they reach out to

their politician and they won’t talk to them. I will tell you that that person has voted Democrat for 50 years and for

the first time she voted Republican. And I’m going to tell you why. She went to her Democratic congresswoman, one of the

longest serving in in our history, and she wouldn’t meet with her. She wouldn’t meet with her to try and help her son,

but the Republican candidate running against her immediately. She had a Republican from, I think it was

Michigan, meet with her who’s not even in her district. So, so you asked why I can be so passionate because there’s no

one else. And so, I have to be the the torch, the flame to bring these people together. And and I understand a lot of

people don’t believe it is I think you could go to the VA and do investigations

because a lot of people got VA benefits with zero evidence. Is they checked a

box. They weren’t allowed to investigate. We’ve had VA investigators and I’m saying this on the record come

to us to say they wanted to investigate and they weren’t allowed. That people got 50 to 100% with zero evidence.

Why? How is that possible? It’s possible because when you manipulate the system, when you put your thumbs on the scale,

injustice happens. And when good people don’t act, it stays. He’s speaking from the context of being

wrongfully accused and convicted. Yes, sir. For sexual assault, and that’s where it started, resulting in his court

marshalling in uh 20 2013. What a scene.

Uh uh uh. Now, a guy who had similar concerns and seemed to bubble up from

the fray is the Department of Defense um

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegsth, who had similar uh accusations.

He did. What’s the comparison or the difference between Hegath and you? The difference was he went through a

civilian system where there is transparency. He was falsely accused. I believe it was in California. Uh, and

they investigated and they dropped the charges. They investigated and said, “No, there’s nothing here.” And that’s

the difference is if it had been a military court, it would be probably a

different outcome. So that was the primary difference is most of these cases were rejected by civilian courts

because there was no evidence. There was no probable cause. But the military said, “Look at us. We will get it done.”

United States Naval Academy graduate 1995. Arvis Owens is here with us today. We’re

doing a deep dive on something that’s uh quite sensitive to him and necessary for

us to pursue. He was uh wrongfully accused and convicted of sexual assault

uh as commander at the time in the United States Navy. and uh the military

code of uh the uniform code of military justice

prevailed or didn’t prevail. What what would you say? Were they following bad

rules and procedures or was the system abused by wrongdoers? I believe a bit of both, sir. Both.

We’re going to discuss more of this with Arvis Owens. I’m going to keep calling you commander whether you like it or

not, commander. Thanks. Uh we’re going to keep talking with Arvis Owens, commander uh in the United States Navy

right after this. Hi friends, Jean Valentino for My Pillow. You know, this past year has been one of the hardest in

Let’s get on board with My Pillow. They’ve been there for America. Let’s get there for My Pillow.

Welcome back again, folks. Gene Valentino with Arvis Owens. I’m calling

him Commander Arvis Owens because that’s what he was before he was unjustly,

falsely accused, and convicted of sexual assault uh in the military back in 2013.

And Arvis, thank you for being with us today. This this story of yours precedes

but sits against the backdrop of um an event just two years ago that we’ve

experienced. the January 6ers who many of whom were unjustly and wrongfully

accused, charged and convicted and served time and even regrettably

had were in solitary confinement uh for what you couldn’t convince me was

a misdemeanor and here they are behind bars in a federal prison serving time for such

wrongdoing. is something going on in our military or injustice in general uh and

you can answer that but then go ahead and take the ball and equate it to uh

what happened to you. Yes sir. I believe that there is and one word you could call is lawfare. Is when

you have entities who want an outcome regardless of the truth, they will put

their thumbs on the scales of justice and they will get an outcome that they want regardless of the truth.

Who are the types of people pushing for that result? Typically politicians who who want that

outcome. So I’ll come back to the political side in a minute. Keep going with what happened

and what the analogy is. The analogy is is as far as a there there’s the J6 organization called Stand

in the Gap and many of the the men and women involved in that they didn’t get a

fair due process. And so some people are aware some people it’s a very polarizing

thing. They they don’t believe it but they don’t know the details. And so we have formed a partnership recently.

Well, Biden and and excuse me, Obama and Gillibrand are no longer uh together.

It’s now o it’s excuse me, it’s not Obama and Gillibrand that are together.

It’s now Biden, right, and Gillibrand that are together. Correct. And they So, this transcended Obama and now moved

to the Biden administration. That’s correct, sir. That’s correct. And what was consistent about those two

regimes? What was consistent is they wanted an outcome and they didn’t care what the truth was. It was they would

push their agenda to get convictions regardless of the truth. And so that

stayed consistent. And a quick side analogy was they did it at colleges and

universities as well. So I will make a comparison with President Trump. When

President Obama was in office, he took away due process for college people accused of sexual assault.

through Betsy Devos. When President Trump had his first uh time in office, they made it fair. They balanced the

system. And then when President Biden came in, he unbalanced it again. And President Trump has rebalanced it. But

no one has touched the US military. Why? Politically, it’s a hot button topic. It

Nobody likes to talk about sex. Nobody likes to talk about sexual assault. And And Gene, it happened with sexual

assault, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. All very touchy subjects, all

very sensitive and women vote at an extraordinarily high level. And so what

I tell people is false accusers are not victims. Is until we get women to come

out and we have we formed a partnership with military uh sexual trauma survivors

as well as women who are victims who come forward with us to partner because they also know it’s a problem.

The accuser, the wrongful accuser. Yes, sir. That allows the military system to run

with the wrongful accusation. Are these people having regrets for the

wrongful accusation or are have they been prompted by what I would call a

deep state uh subversive intention to get you in the first place?

Well, sir, again, it’s hard to know which, but a quick side story. We had a

woman come forward who admitted that she falsely accused someone, but the man had killed himself, right? So, it’s

responsible for suicide rates, but guess what? The military didn’t believe her now. So, you believed her when she said

he did it, but you didn’t believe her when she said, “Hey, look, I lied. I was jealous. I was upset.”

Yeah. And and I did this. And so, there are some who do have remorse and we’re

thankful that they come forward. And then there is a deep state factor that nobody wants to touch this. And then I

talked about those four Rs. I want the American public to imagine if the military were to come out publicly and

says, you know what, Arvis is 100% right. We did it. So pretend you know with 100% certainty the military’s come

forward. Are you ever letting your son join the military?

Yes or no? I’m asking you are would you ever let your son join the military

under those circumstances? No sir, I wouldn’t. And I have two sons. And so if your sons don’t voluntarily join, well,

now you have to do a draft. So what politician wants to be responsible for

implementing a draft back in this country when it was so popular unpopular to begin with? So that’s the political

hot potato. You have female voters who might be disenfranchised if if this were

addressed as well as the parents who support their kids joining the military.

I look at this incident that you were wrongfully accused of as an attempt by a

left-leaning uh righteous feminine entity women voter

block that are trying to uh score points with the Democrat side

for votes and they’re doing that. Yes, sir. But when it backfires and it shows

wrongful accusations, they’ve gained nothing. Have any of those same uh women

on the left come towards a more conservative, right-leaning candidate

when they realized the truth about someone like you being wrongfully accused and and charged? The

the answer, sir, is the only ones I know who did were those who had loved ones who were falsely accused. I’ve had

feminists come to me and said, “My son was falsely accused.” And then they they

go, “Wait a minute. The only people who will listen to me are right-leaning uh politicians who want to help.” So only a

few and only when they are personally impacted is what I found. Well, I regret that because politics in

this case should be totally removed from what we’re really concerned about. the

fair and equitable defense of this na n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n nation, national security in general and

our ability to defend this nation from foes foreign and now domestic who are

eating us from within to me is the cancer that we should be focusing on. Instead, we’re wrongfully accusing good

gentlemen like yourself of such things as sexual misconduct or assault that in

fact has no basis in fact. Now look, if you were guilty of the wrong, I’ll keep

my mouth shut and serve your time. Right. Right. We know for a fact that isn’t the

case here. When five out of the six out of the seven charges were dismissed

against you because the evidence Yes, sir. was not there. And and sir, I’m going to tell you even something bigger and I’m going to name

someone that I probably shouldn’t name. We got up to the deputy secretary of defense at that time under the Biden

administration, Kathleen Higs. She saw some of the shows we were doing with a a gentleman. He’s got a radio show. She

promised to investigate false accusations and be transparent. She does the study and then she doesn’t release

it and she quits taking our calls. So they not only don’t want to address it,

they don’t want to show the results of what has happened. They is now in your comment the department of war,

department of defense at the time. At that time, Hicks under um Biden, President Biden

under Biden. Uh and um uh what was the

outcome from that event? It just went silent. She went silent. So So she reached out

to his name is Mr. James Thomas. I’m going to say his name. He has a talk show called Tell It Like It Is. She saw

an interview, had her secretary called him, said she would investigate, said she would release it, and then she went

silent. And not only did she do that, uh, James met with the general counsel

of DoD, her name was Carolyn Cass under President Biden, and she also said she

was going to do something and then she didn’t. So when they look at when they open the book and they see how bad it

is, they close it quickly. Fast forward to Pete Hegsth, Department of Defense U

of under um under now Trump. Anybody in his department helping you with the same

issue? So not not directly, but but I do want to I want to give attention to one issue

and your viewers can research this. You can Google it. Task and purpose wrote an article. So one of the things that that

Secretary Warg did was he now will go after false accusers. So, if you Google

the task and purpose article there, it came out I think in April of this year where it said now DoD will go after

false accusers. Now, here’s one question I would ask though. Are there exemptions? Does that mean false

accusers for sexual assault, sexual harassment, and DV? But yes, they’re trying to make inroads to go after. But

but here’s the thing, Jean, is let’s say President Trump acts. They change so many laws that when a new

administration comes in, they’ll go back to the same way they were because of

these these groups we talked about. Goes back to the original theme of why we’re here today. Uh getting you exonerated

from a wrongful accusation and charges and adjudication and at the same time

changing the process. Yes, sir. of the system to focus on what you’re intending and that’s other um

other um uh people who have been wrongfully accused and excuse me as you

said um serving time now as well. Um, folks, we’re with Commander Arvis Owens,

uh, Department, United States Navy, former Navy Academy grad. And Arvis is

with us today to talk about some unjust accusations against him uh and charges

uh that resulted in his court marshal sexual assault which

uh it um it it the event kind of happened but it let’s just say it was

mutual. Exactly. It was as well that to me is not an assault if it’s mutual. And let me tell you something to go with

that to prove to your audience. So, so I started advocating and in 2021 the state

of Virginia took me off the sex offender registry. So I called someone who worked for them and they reviewed my case and

they said, “Wait a minute, your accuser said you didn’t use any force coercion. So if you didn’t use any force, your

accuser is saying that you shouldn’t have been convicted.” So they removed me from the sex offender registry in

October of 2021 and they they spoke with DoD. So, I have it on authority that

they spoke, but you still have the record. I still have the label uh of a

convict and the titling, but they spoke with DoD. They did. They spoke with DoD. And I I’d

like to share. So, a congressman, a senator, or the president could see that somewhere and

use that as part of the basis for your I don’t know if it’s listed somewhere where they could see it. I just was told

by a person who works for them. Okay. and and I would love to share a couple of stories just so your audience

knows when I say false accusations they can be the judge. Okay, so there’s a case where this this man is

still in prison now. His name is Matthew Leard. He was in the Air Force. It’s he was with his wife, his ex-wife. It’s he

had a film up where he had sex with his wife. Well, she is on top. She is

shimming for the camera. They get into a marital dispute. She files for divorce, claims rape. Quote, “The camera footage

shows all of the sex acts. The military won’t allow him to play it in court. They won’t allow the judge to review it

in camera in private.” So, he’s sitting in prison now when there’s video evidence, to your point, to prove that

he didn’t do it. Another case, Army, uh, Anthony Sanuchi, he goes out to a bar.

He’s in Louisiana. A woman comes up. She’s dancing with him, dirty dancing, and ask him, “Do you want to go back to

your barracks room to have fun?” He goes, “Yes.” His friends are there hooting and hollering. The problem is

she’s married. She’s married to another military member on base. They go back to his barrack. They have

sex, but he doesn’t use protection. So, he tries to get her phone number. She’s like, “No, I’m married. I got four

kids.” She was going out to get a candy bar is what she told her husband. Well, now she’s got to explain what happened

to her. So, she calls the police. Uh, she doesn’t want to file charges, though. She just wants a morning after

pill. So, they go and they look at the phone and the evidence and they arrest that man and put him in prison. She’s so

distraught that two weeks later, she goes out to another bar dirty dancing with two more men. And then she eventually leaves her husband. That

man’s still in prison today. He sacrificed his entire 20s. Another gentleman falsely accused. his

accuser has the wherewithal to confess. The civilian police department get her

her confession on tape. They have a C agent, it was army, who listens to it.

So the civilian force drops the charges against him. A year later, the army brings back the charges and they refuse

to allow the videotape to be shown or the agent who witnessed it to testify. Oh my word. So, these are the types of

cases. I know they’re hard to believe. And that’s why we say, “Let’s let’s do an investigation and look at this.” And

when we do, the commander should be held to account, the false accuser should be

held to account, and the American people should receive the money, the funds that they repay. I was reading in your

documents a um judge uh someone of judicial import basically uh feeling

guilty and giving testimony in his own handwrite in with his own signature on a

two-page affidavit that said he made a mistake. True, sir. He was a an admiral, a

twostar admiral. Admiral Admiral Lorge. Okay. So, if I could share that story, please. So, Navy Seal Keith Barry was

falsely accused of sexual assault, rape. He goes to court marshall. He gets found guilty. This warrior is put in solitary

confinement. He’s denied his his medication. He is also they want to make him sign a

confession even though he’s like, I didn’t do it. So, they want you to sign a confession in military prison so you

qualify for training so you can get released and they won’t release you otherwise. He says, no, I won’t do it.

He gets released and at one point he didn’t have a home. He couldn’t find a place to live because he had all these

skills but he had that label. So he reaches out to the twoar admiral, Admiral Lorge who oversaw his case who

had retired who wrote an affidavit and he says explicitly he was scared of what

the president would do. It was Obama and Senator Gillibrandt regardless of the merits of the case. And on top of that,

the head jag uh judge advocate general lawyer for the Navy had told him, “Don’t

upset the findings and her deputy who replaced her.” So once that came to light, they reversed his case. But Jean,

they didn’t investigate a single other case where those people had been involved, those senior Jags. So

fortunately, in his case, he did get some justice. They reversed his case, but they still titled him. So he still

wears that label. There are countries he can’t go into because when he fills out the card, have you ever been convicted?

He has to Yes. It’s still there. Yeah. So, I want to give justice to those people that can’t get justice for

themselves. And and they what they’ve gotten is partial justice or partial injustice as it were.

And so, what happened to that admiral? So, he was retired. So, nothing happened. My understanding is they were

upset with him, but he waited until after he retired and he wrote the affidavit.

Very much like certain people giving testimony now knowing they’re on their way out the door.

Correct. So you uh only uh give truthful evidence

and um testimony when you know the end is in sight. I don’t have to correct

cover up for the majority party or political party that I have to kiss up to while I’m in

office or while I’m in servitude. Wow. I I I folks were with Arvis Owens,

commander, United States Navy, uh left

the Navy in 2013 when he was uh court marshaled for sexual misconduct

uh wrongfully uh court marshaled and wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct.

I’d be remiss, Arvis, if I didn’t let you get the word out. People need to Are

you Are you working for a living now? What are you doing at the present? I am not. But what what I hope to join, we we we started uh a co

collaboration with it’s a January 6th organization called Stand in the Gap Foundation and they’re going to add a

military wing as well as a wing for those uh falsely accused by CPS, Child Protective Services, and we’re actually

having a fundraiser on Real America’s Voices on January 20th. So, tune in for

more. Oh, very good. And the idea is uh that there needs to be an effort underway to

reverse the um the code of justice, the uniform code of justice, military code

of justice that has uh been the rules and regulations, the procedures that uh

were being used to accuse you and charge you and convict you.

Yes, sir. um in the first place. That can only happen with the help of a

United States congressman, a United States senator or the president himself.

Yes, sir. And we need any of those cast of characters to step up, meet Arvis

directly and um help him uh get back his life to normaly and get this stain

removed from his record that is unjust and is there wrongfully in the first

place. Failure to defend the rights of other people may someday result in your

rights not being defended. help him so he can help you.

And many of you in the military were doing just that. Yes, sir. Helping this nation protect itself

during the most egregious uh u theater of events I’ve ever seen in

my entire life. Um do you uh interact with other military

people now? Yes, sir. I do. We actually we have a network of informers as it were who feel

strongly about this issue but they’re afraid to come out publicly. Why?

Because they they think their career will be derailed if they they they talk about what happened. I’m talking about.

Well, that’s exactly what I was saying earlier about the person not voting for

or against an issue because they’re scared of the Nancy Pelosis and the Chuck Schumers and the Hakee Jeff at the

top of the top of the pile um quashing them from having any effectiveness at

all if u they speak their mind. You know, that’s one just being political for a second. It’s one of the reasons I

am a Republican. At least I know I can speak my mind, right? And not be worried about being uh

politically uh uh executed um by the forces above me. At least I have a place

to speak my mind. You do that when you go to Congress and and you’re a Democrat. If you don’t get in line and

and get in sync with the with the the boss’s uh dictates, whatever you’ve got

you want done from your hometown is way on the back burner because you’re not following along with their with their

activity, with their um with their um agenda. And the same thing I presume

occurs in the military. Yes, sir. And that’s my point. I think the

military system of prosecution must mirror the civilian system of

prosecution and that there not be two standards if we expect the same justice

to be afforded to a wrongdoer and you know we we all live and die by the sword

but let it be the same sword. Yes sir. Not one for me in the civilian side not

a different one for you on the military side. Sir, what I like to say is liberty and justice for all does not mean

liberty and justice for some. It means all. That’s well stated. Any final comments?

Uh, Commander Gene, I want to thank you and your audience for listening. I want to

themselves. Thank you for listening. And you can reach Arvis through me, Jean Valentino. www. genevalentino.com.
