A “Marine” at Camp Lejeune in fishnet stockings? Camp Lejeune’s sickening, decades-long cancer contamination

A comrade posted this on my site:

Another sign of the Apocalypse – photo of a Marine at Camp LeJeune, NC in the chow hall wearing a skirt and fishnet stockings:

I replied:

I was trying to see if this photo could be fake, even if the guy was wearing a kilt, which would, of course, be okay in a way if the Marine Corps wanted it.

The Roman legions wore a kind of metal-plated kilt, too. And I fought Scots in kilts in WWI — and believe you me, they were pretty macho guys, out to prove to the English they were the bravest men in the British Army. (The Romans built Hadrian’s Wall because they had given up trying to ever conquer the ancient Scots, then called Picts.)

But you still have the issue of this guy wearing fishnet stockings…. 😉

I guess I am speechless. Crestfallen…. just wanting not to believe this.

Is nothing sacred? No, not in jew world. Every white tradition and value, even basic common sense, must be destroyed to make way for the nightmarish Jew World Order.

This is the kind of thing that will only make the Russians and Chinese snicker at the fighting power of US/NATO conventional forces.

And this snickering indirectly increases the chances of a major world war developing, one that could go tactical-nuclear when (not if) the US starts to lose — and then escalates to a full nuclear Armageddon.

…..As my Marine dad, said, above the rank of major you have many corruptible officers who only care about their promotions and themselves, and they will cover up any crime even against their own men

Again, this is an unconscionable betrayal of the men.

…of their young idealism, their patriotism, and their belief that the Marine Corps would be a sacred bond, a brotherhood.

Margi just got out of the hospital after three days…. her cancer battle is getting dramatic…. Severe side effects of the Keytruda medication, which seems to be definitely beating the cancer but at what a cost….including devouring my time.

I will report fully on this. But I will say that anyone who knowingly gives, or negligently exposes, another person to cancer is lower than whale shit.

Wikipedia on Camp Lejeune, an enormous Marine Corps base in coastal North Carolina:

Drinking water contamination[edit]

From at least 1957 through 1987, Marines and their families at Lejeune drank and bathed in water contaminated with toxins at concentrations 240 to 3,400 times permitted by safety standards. A 1974 base order required safe disposal of solvents and warned that improper handling could cause drinking water contamination. Yet solvents were dumped or buried near base wells for years.[6] The base’s wells were shut off in the mid-1980s but were placed back online in violation of the law.[7] In 1982, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were found in Camp Lejeune’s drinking water supply.[8] VOC contamination of groundwater can cause birth defects and other ill health effects in pregnant and nursing mothers. This information was not made public for nearly two decades when the government attempted to identify those who may have been exposed.

An advocacy group called The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten was created to inform possible victims of the contamination at Lejeune. The group’s website includes an introduction with some basic information about the contamination at Lejeune, including that many health problems various types of cancer, leukemia, miscarriages and birth defects, have been noted in people who drank the contaminated water. According to the site, numerous base housing areas were affected by the contamination, including Tarawa Terrace, Midway Park, Berkeley Manor, Paradise Point, Hadnot Point, Hospital Point, and Watkins Village.[9] As many as 500,000 people may have been exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune over a period of 30 years.”[10]

Litigation[edit]

At least 850 former residents filed claims for nearly $4 billion from the military. The multi-district litigation was dismissed on North Carolina statute of repose grounds on December 5, 2016, and the appeal to the 11th Circuit is ongoing (Straw, et. al. v. United States, 16-17573). A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June 2014 potentially curbs groundwater contamination lawsuits by families at Camp Lejeune.[11] Federal law, which imposes a two-year statute of limitations after the harm is discovered, preempts North Carolina’s 10-year statute of repose law. State lawmakers are trying to eliminate the state prohibition on lawsuits being filed 10 years after the last pollution occurred or from the time a polluted property was sold.[11]

Straw has appealed this case to the U.S. Supreme Court twice, with one appeal currently pending in the Supreme Court docket. Disability activist Andrew U. D. Straw also pursued claims at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, stating that the U.S. Marine Corps’ UCMJ responsibilities imply a contract to protect U.S. Marine Corps family members (Straw v. United States, 1:17-cv-00560, U.S. COFC). This case was dismissed and denied on appeal. Straw has advocated for legislative reform to avoid the legal arguments of the Department of Justice.[12] The main chemicals involved were trichloroethylene (TCE, a degreaser), perchloroethylene (PCE, a dry cleaning solvent), and benzene; however, more than 70 chemicals have been identified as contaminants at Lejeune.[7]

On March 8, 2010, Paul Buckley of Hanover, Massachusetts, received a 100%, service connected disability from the Department of Veterans Affairs for cancer (multiple myeloma), which was linked to toxic water exposure on Camp Lejeune. This is believed to be the first time the government has admitted the link between the contamination and illnesses.[13]

In 2007, Jerry Ensminger, a retired Marine master sergeant, found a document dated 1981 that described a radioactive dump site near a rifle range at the camp.

According to the report, the waste was laced with strontium-90, an isotope known to cause cancer and leukemia.[7] According to Camp Lejeune’s installation restoration program manager, base officials learned about the document in 2004.[7] Ensminger served in the Marine Corps for 24 and a half years, and lived for part of that time at Camp Lejeune. In 1985 his 9-year-old daughter, Janey, died of cancer.[7]

On July 6, 2009, Laura Jones filed suit against the U.S. government over the contaminated water at the base. Jones previously lived at the base where her husband, a Marine, was stationed, and she has since been diagnosed with lymphoma.[14] Twenty former residents of Camp Lejeune—all men who lived there during the 1960s and the 1980s—have been diagnosed with breast cancer.[15] In April 2009, the United States Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry withdrew a 1997 public health assessment at Camp Lejeune that denied any connection between the toxins and illness.[16]

In 2022, Joe Biden was to sign a law allowing victims to sue for sicknesses related to water contamination at Camp Lejeune.[17]

Janey Ensminger Act[edit]

In July 2012, the U.S. Senate passed a bill, called the Janey Ensminger Act in honor of retired Marine Master Sergeant Jerry Ensminger’s daughter Janey who died of cancer at age 9, authorizing medical care to military and family members who had resided at the base between 1957 and 1987 and developed conditions linked to the water contamination.[18][19] The measure applies to up to 750,000 people.[20] The bill applies to 15 specific ailments believed to be linked to the contamination, including cancer of the esophagus, lung, breast, bladder or kidney; leukemia; multiple myeloma; myleodysplasic syndromes; renal toxicity; hepatic steatosis; female infertility; miscarriage; scleroderma; and/or neurobehavioral effects or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The Department of Veterans Affairs is assigned to provide the medical care. To fund the medical care, the bill extended higher fees for VA home loan guarantees through 2017.[21]

  1. Is he wearing it for a dare? The nearest marine appears to find it a joke. Is this normal behaviour for marines in the mess hall?

    • Well, the guy looks more wary than on a dare…Maybe he lost a bet where he said “If I’m wrong, I’ll wear a skirt and fishnet stockings to the mess hall.”

      I would like to think that the true explanation is this innocent one…. Can someone get me the email address of the Camp Lejeune office of public affairs?

  2. Your father was a much harsher man than I. I gave more benefit of the doubt that anyone above Col. was a political commissar servant to their political masters despite railing about how the military and the civilian world should not collide. I suppose in retrospect to our times he’s more right as the slim always goes downhill.
