….”Texan” kneels to blacks

….Carrier USS Kitty Hawk’s vicious race riot was due to officers bowing to Black Power

The other day I got to chatting with a local Navy veteran who had served on this aircraft carrier during the horrendous 1973 fire (eight killed, and he himself was terribly burned) and I suspect he was there in 1972 as well for the race riot, discussed below.

This huge warship served 1961-2009 — 49 years:

President Kennedy, a former Navy officer himself and war hero, visited it to assure the Taiwanese the US would defend them from Red China.

Kitty Hawk sails through a typhoon:

This enormous steam-powered aircraft carrier was busy bombing communist North Vietnam when the 15% of the crew that was ghetto blacks revolted — rampaging and viciously attacking white sailors.

.

As this refreshingly honest article below from the Navy Times points out, during the highly unpopular and crooked Vietnam War — which half-Jew Lyndon Johnson got us into against the plans of President John Kennedy, whom he had had murderedthe draft meant you had to serve in some branch, so many high-caliber young white men chose the US Navy or Air Force for their own safety over getting drafted into the Army or Marines and ending up in the jungles of Nam.

The Vietnamese hated us, both whites and blacks, and vice versa. Kennedy knew the war was hopeless.

The US Army killed 500 civilians at My Lai. In fairness, one minute the villagers smiled at you, calling you “Joe,” the next they tried to shoot you, or told communists exactly where you were.

UNSPECIFIED – CIRCA 1754: The My Lai Massacre, the mass murder of 347 to 504 unarmed citizens of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), almost entirely civilians and the majority of them women and children, perpetrated by US Army forces on March 16 1968.

As a result, many of the men who had enlisted in the Navy were both white and top-quality. But as both the war and the draft gradually tapered off under President Nixon, the Whites stopped joining and the Navy had to recruit ghetto blacks for a military branch that is full of advanced technology.

The skipper was Captain Marland Townsend, who saw negotiating with the rioting ghetto blacks as futile.

The Kitty Hawk’s crew was typical of Navy ships as the draft wound down.  Out of her compliment of 4,135 enlisted men, only 279, less than 15%, were Black as were 5 of 348 officers.  Over half of the Black crew members were assigned to mess duty or other labor-intensive, low-prestige, low-skill positions.
.
Promotions were hard to come by as were transfers to get training in skills that might be useful in civilian life.  Blacks on board also had been complaining that in doling out extrajudicial punishments (where your own officer punishes you without a court-martial, usually by docking pay, giving you extra work, or denying you liberty, i.e. shore leave) for rules infractions, they received harsher treatment than their white shipmates for the same offenses.  Tensions had been brewing for some time.
.
The Kitty Hawk had put into Subic Naval Base in the Philippines (across the South China Sea from Vietnam) for refuelingrearming, and a week of shore leave for the crew.  They had just finished the ship’s sixth deployment to the war zone and had been conducting almost continual operations since April.  After Subic, the plan had been to sail to the ship’s home port of San Diego and a longer rest, extended leaves, and time to reunite with families.
.
But just before pulling into Subic, the crew was given the news that they instead would be headed right back to bombing operations after the one-week layover.  Evident sabotage aboard the carriers USS Ranger and USS Forester, which had been scheduled to replace the Kitty Hawk on station, meant that she would have to return in their place.  The news they were not going home was poorly received by the whole crew, Black and White alike.
.
Despite the bad news, the most of the crew did what sailors have traditionally done after a long, tough cruise—hit the bars, honky-tonks, and bordellos with a vengeance.   On the last evening ashore, October 10, a major brawl broke out between Black and White sailors at an enlisted men’s club on base.  How the fight started is unclear, but it was surely fueled with alcohol.  Scores of men, some of them from the Kitty Hawk, were engaged in the melee which broke up only when the Shore Patrol showed up in mass.
.
Moments before curfew about 15 Black sailors boarded the ship “on the run and in a very disheveled condition.”  Since the ship was about to sail and all hands were needed, the sailors were allowed to proceed to their cabins without further immediate investigation of their circumstances and condition.  If these men had been involved in the fight, they probably felt that they had escaped any repercussions.  The ship sailed as scheduled the next morning.
.
Around 7 pm on October 12, after the ship had been underway for a day and a half, a Black seaman was called to the ship’s investigator’s office for questioning about the Subic fight.  The sailor came accompanied by 9 friends.  All were irate.  They exchanged what was characterized as “belligerent, loud, and abusive language,” when told that the sailor’s friends would not be allowed to sit in and witness the interrogation.  Inside the office he was apprised of his rights and refused to make a statement.  He was allowed to leave.  Rumors started spreading through the ship.
.
Shortly after this a black mess cook was assaulted at the aft mess deck then another attacked on the forward mess deck.  The same sailor was present at both assaults and presumed by rumor to be responsible.  Soon a crowd of angry Black sailor began gathering at the aft mess deck.  Marine guards were called.  There was already a history of bad blood between the Marine security forces and Black seamen.
(Marines are posted on carriers, armed, to quell mutinies by, well, brutally shooting sailors. Obviously, there is little love lost between sailors and Marines, which is how it was planned. Marines also also taught to despise the Army, and note that it is they who guard the White House…….)
There was a shouting match and some pushing and shoving.  The corporal of the guard, the only Marine who was armed at one point appeared to be ready to draw his pistol.  It was not drawn, but after the two sides separated, rumor spread that the Blacks had been threatened.
Executive Officer Commander Benjamin Cloud was the highest ranking of four Black officers on board the Kitty Hawk and FAILED, though black, to avoid serious violence and only got called an “Uncle Tom.” Shown here earlier in his career as a fighter pilot.
It was at this point that Commander Benjamin Cloud, the Executive Officer (second in command) and the highest ranking Black officer aboard, arrived on the scene and attempted to diffuse the dangerous situation. He ordered the Marine guards to remove themselves from the deck.
.
Cloud remained in the room with a White Master Chief Petty Officer to try to calm the angry Blacks down.  Cloud spoke with the men for nearly an hour, assuring them that the Marines had been withdrawn below deck and offering to meet personally with leaders in his cabin to discuss their grievances.
.

At some point Captain Marland Townsend entered the deck behind the XO, who did not see him or know he was there.  The CO hung back and allowed Cloud to talk the men down, but was alarmed by what he considered and insubordinate and hostile attitude by the Black seamen.

Townsend left the chamber as the black XO convinced the men to return to quarters, and he departed through another hatch [Navy word for “door”), believing the situation was in hand.  Townsend was not so sanguine.  He ordered his Marine guard to establish special patrols to protect the flight deck and areas where arms might be acquired.  He also issued orders that any gathering of three or more sailor was to be immediately broken up.
Unfortunately, the men who had been convinced to retire by Cloud had to exit the area via the hanger deck to get to their quarters.  When they entered the area, the Marines assumed that they were hostile and in response to the Captain’s orders did as they were trained in riot control—they formed a line and advanced steadily on the men.  There were 26 Marines and an undetermined number of Black sailors.  The Marines pushed the men to one end of the deck and surrounded them.  Several were arrested and put into handcuffs.  Others armed themselves with chain aircraft tie downs and tools and began resisting the Marines.
Captain Townsend arrived on the scene and placed himself between the two groups trying to separate them.  Someone heaved a heavy object at the CO which narrowly missed him.  Cloud came in just in time to see that, but not to clearly understand what happened.  He was almost immediately called away to attend a report that another sailor had been seriously injured in an attack below decks.  Meanwhile the Captain ordered the arrested men released and the Marines to return to their own compartment while he tried to restore order.
.
Rumors that the Captain had been wounded or even killed began to circulate and reached the XO below as if it were a fact.  Alarmed, Cloud assumed that he would have to take command.  The injured sailor below indicated that the disturbances were spreading into living quarters.
.
Roving groups of Blacks were pulling White sailors from their bunks and beating them.  Fights between groups of seamen were breaking out.
.
The dispensary was rapidly filling up with wounded men when a group of Black sailors entered and began harassing medical personal and patients.  The situation was rapidly spinning out of control.

Afraid that confrontations between Black sailors and the Marines would only make matters worse, Cloud moved to the microphone of the ship’s public address system ordering all the ship’s Blacks to the aft [back] mess deck [cafeteria area] and the Marines to the forecastle [the forward part of a ship below the deck, traditionally used as the crew’s living quarters.] to put as much distance between the two groups as possible.

This announcement was the first indication to most members of the crew of the vast ship outside the immediately affected areas that anything had happened.
.
The Captain was still on the hanger deck dealing with the largest contingent of the rebellious sailors when he heard the announcement.  Of course he knew nothing of reports of his own incapacitation or death and may have assumed his Black executive officer was himself committing mutiny and trying to seize control of the ship.
.
Townsend rushed to the nearest p.a. microphone station to countermand the XO’s orders.  That was the same station where Cloud still was.  You can imagine the initial words from the skipper were heated.  But the two quickly compared notes and figured out what had happened.  The Captain got on the p.a. system, explained that the XO had been misinformed and canceled the separations orders.  Instead he ordered all hands to remain in their quarters or at their scheduled duty stations.  This was just after midnight.
.
Attacks in quarters continued, but large groups of Black sailors made their way to the forecastle where eventually about 150 gathered, almost all armed with makeshift weapons.  They were still agitated and angry, but also becoming increasingly aware that their situation was precarious and untenable.
.
XO Cloud followed the men to the forecastle and entered alone and unarmed.  He later reported that he believed if he had been a White officer he would have been killed immediately.  Cloud told the men that he would speak to them “as a Black man, not an officer.”  At first they taunted him as an Uncle Tom, but he persisted speaking, and listening until about 2:30 in the morning when he finally convinced the exhausted men to return to quarters.  They were allowed to do so without immediate arrest.  The riot was over.
.

That night the dispensary treated 47 men, all but 6 or 7 of them White that night.  Three men were so severely injured that they had to be evacuated by air to shore hospitals.

.
Junior officers and senior enlisted men were assigned to patrol corridors and living quarters to insure order.  The Marines were not used for this duty and the officers and petty officers were unarmed.  Things remained tense, but calm.  These patrols continued for the rest of the cruise.
.
The Navy Times explains:
.

Life wasn’t very good for those enlisted blacks, either. Most had scored low on their qualification exams, due to lower average education levels than whites and were more likely to be placed in less desirable jobs within the Navy. The majority of blacks were assigned to the toughest and dirtiest Navy jobs, in the deck force and on flight decks, while whites populated the more coveted and higher tech jobs in the crew.

According to Sherwood, most of the enlisted blacks onboard had been in the service less than a year. Many had come from lesser educated backgrounds and all had grown up with the racial and anti-war unrest of the 1960s. “You have kids who are inculcated in the etiology of the Civil Rights movement, but do not have the education to move up into higher-skilled jobs,” Sherwood said. “That is what really leads to a blowup in the fleet — it was that situation that really created the powder keg that led to this explosion.”

And 48 years later, what exactly has improved?

As Thomas Jefferson said 200 years ago:

I doubt this killing was real, but the point is the masses do.

  1. According to this article, Kellie (or Kelly) Thao is the sister of Tou Thao, the Hmong cop who assisted Derek Chauvin in the George Floyd arrest:

    https://www.dreshare.com/kellie-chauvin

    This article quotes a divorce lawyer for Kelli Thao, who admits that Kellie Thao does have a brother who is a police officer (whose first name is conveniently not given), but that he’s on the St. Paul police force, not Minneapolis! What are the odds of that?:

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/31/kellie-chauvin-derek-chauvins-wife-not-sister-tou-

    Here are the results of an Intelius.com search I did on Tou Thao in Minneapolis, MN. I didn’t want to pay for his full profile results, but it’s interesting that there is a Tou Thao in Minneapolis who has a relative named Kelly (or Kellie?) Thao:

    Name:
    Tou Thao
    Minneapolis, MN

    Age:
    (Not listed)

    Location:
    Minneapolis, MN

    Possible Relatives:
    Cher Thao
    Cher Thao
    Kelly Thao
    Michael Thao
    Pahoua Thao
    Rone Thao
    Mai Vang

    Also, as mentioned earlier, there is the amazing coincidence that Derek Chauvin and George Floyd both worked security at the same nightclub, and likely knew each other.

    Here is a recent article showing what the Minneapolis police badge looks like:

    https://wpta21.com/2020/06/05/minneapolis-to-ban-police-chokeholds-in-wake-of-floyd-death

    Notice that it doesn’t look anything like the badges worn by Derek Chauvin or Tou Thao shown in this article below. And in fact, Chauvin’s and Thao’s badges are totally different even from each other, yet they are both supposedly on the Minneapolis police force. Chauvin’s badge has a red background, and Thao’s badge has a yellow bar across it, and looks like it’s made out of cloth instead of metal. This article also shows a tattoo on porn star George Floyd’s chest that it says is the Freemasonic double-headed eagle, but the image quality is too poor to verify:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/FlatEarthScience/comments/gwncb2/derek_chauvin_is_freemason_crisis_actor_ben

    Yep, they’re right – here’s a better image of Floyd’s 33rd degree Freemason chest tattoo:

    https://www.themillennialbridge.com/here-is-george-floyds-33-degree-masonic-chest-tattoo-symbolism-will-be-their

    In this video, you can see that Chauvin is not putting any pressure on Floyd’s neck, but is instead resting all his weight on his right knee, as Floyd is able to lift Chauvin’s knee up using his neck, and is able to talk fine:

    George Floyd’s $30,000 solid gold casket was never opened for the public to view his body, most likely because his body wasn’t in it:

    https://usahitman.com/wdgfloydhaveclosedcasket

    Also, as mentioned earlier, I recognize Tou Thao as a crisis actor who appeared in one of the many fake “police brutality” videos during the Obama era.

    Verdict: FAKE! George Floyd is walking free somewhere with a lot of money and a new identity, and the four “police officers” arrested for his fake death will eventually be rewarded and quietly freed as well, just like that cop in Charleston, SC who supposedly shot a black suspect in the back, was jailed, and was then quietly forgotten about. Down the memory hole it went!

  2. I was there at the Fort McCoy NCO club race riot in 1982. It started when a Green Beret from rural Virginia called a negro boy. While that was escalating, a couple of other Green Beret from the 12th Special Forces Group starting grabbing coats off of the seats of the agitated primates. Green Berets from Illinois and Virginia had to fight their way through a thousand black Army reservists. All of this was over whether the jukebox should be playing country music or the funky monkey.

    • Thanks for this anecdote.

      I used to know Glenn Miller a bit by phone — the WN leader, political candidate and former Green Beret who did two tours in Vietnam. He was appalled that no other white GB would stand up for him when he made a derogatory remark about a black GB who was provocatively showing off his white, German wife at a club. He and this negro got into a knock-down, drag-out fight in a club, and the other white GBs just stood there, sheepish, their hands in their pockets. Then they testified in a craven manner that Miller had “started it.”

      I saw this crass opportunism also in my own father, a bona fide war hero, respected mentor, friend of presidents, fine businessman and basically good father who however wanted to keep his country-club membership, his Republican respectability and high status, so he kowtowed to the jews — and disinherited his own son.

      There was also a big race riot by blacks in 1972 on board the carrier USS Constellation:

      Wiki:

      Black sailor protests
      Constellation was the focus of media attention when black members of her crew protested what they saw as disparate treatment by the Navy, leading to what some saw as an aborted mutiny in late 1972. Constellation returned to the United States on 1 July and prepared to return to the western Pacific in early 1973. Replacement personnel reported aboard while Constellation was in the United States until the ship had 250 more men than the ship’s berthing could accommodate. Constellation’s commanding officer ordered administrative (less than honorable) discharges for five black sailors he considered troublemakers. He planned to give early discharges to another 250 men whose enlistments would expire while Constellation was overseas. While Constellation was conducting exercises off the California coast, a rumor started that the captain was going to give 250 less than honorable discharges to black sailors. On 1 November, black sailors waylaid a white mess cook in a passageway and broke his jaw. The captain scheduled an open meeting for 21:00 3 November to clarify the 250 planned discharges. At noon 3 November a group of 50 black sailors began a sit-in on a portion of the mess deck. On the night of 3–4 November 60 black sailors took control of the scheduled meeting, refused to leave the mess deck, and threatened to “tear up the ship.” Constellation returned to San Diego on 4 November to offload 130 men, including 12 white sailors, before returning to sea. Constellation returned to San Diego on 7 November and the offloaded sailors were transported back to the dock on 9 November, but only 8 boarded their ship. The remaining sailors sat down on the dock to be filmed by television crews and were ultimately transferred to shore stations for mast. Twelve received general discharges, 35 were honorably discharged but not recommended for re-enlistment, and 73 received punishments ranging from loss of pay and reduction in rate to warnings prior to being reassigned to sea duty.[10]

      Real heroism is not physical, when you have your buddies with you at either shoulder, but to brave total ostracism and speak absolutely taboo truth!

      • It fortunate for that Glenn Miller Green Beret that there was only one negro (the negro GB) there that night. Otherwise any other negroes would have instinctually joined in without forethought. And it was a gang that attacked Glenn Miller.

        Negroes are world-famous for three cowardly behaviors:

        1) Attacking someone weaker; adult attacking child, female, pregnant female, disabled (both physically & mentally), elderly, elderly disabled, or someone of simply smaller stature.

        2) If the negro cannot take down the target in a straight-up fight, the negro will sucker-punch the target.

        3) If the aforementioned two do not work out, the negroes will gang-attack a lone individual.

        YouTube is full of nothing but negroes doing those three behaviors. Even videos of NBA players, overwhelmingly negro and the largest negroes, show this. Negroes are not in reality the billy bad-ass stand toe-to-toe, duke it out, face-to-face, Mandingo warriors. It is a jew newsmedia and jew entertainment-media fiction, but portrayed over and over until it takes on a life of its own.

        I grew up in rural Virginia in the 1960s and 1970s. I didn’t have many negroes around me (thank God), but knew somehow never to be around too many of them. In the early 1980s I went in the Army and had many around me in Basic Training. Most were from urban areas of the USA. Negroes were/are the same, no matter where they come from or what generation they belong to. Mental DNA racial traits make them (all of us, actually) that way. Those negroes in Basic Training ran their shyte talking mouths ad infinitum, especially to any/all Whites. Most Whites took the verbal abuse.

        Finally they targeted me. In an early morning formation, one negro started the shyte talk and I went down the formation line and said something to the effect of “run that mouth to my face”. A brawl errupted. I was immediately gang-tackled and brought to the ground. The negro in question only got one punch in: it was literally like a girl punch. I only got one in myself; like to broke my fist/hand on his hard skull.

        When I finally wrestled off the tacklers and got back up to my feet, I realized they were all Whites.

        I was shocked beyond words. I learned right there the extent to which racial guilt-tripping on Whites had been advanced. And this was the early 1980s. I think what happened to me that day, on a small-group level, is what happens society-wide in the USA.

        The negroes start the trouble and the brainwashed Whites make excuses for the negroes — to the point of taking active side against any WHites who fight back against negroes.

  3. I probably started it all by loading up the jukebox with about S20 in quarters and pre-selected Johnny Horton and Hank Williams. This was the equivalent of rattling the Gorilla cage at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

    The most racist Green Berets I ever met were Irish and from Boston. As a former Nazi I tried to fly below the radar. There were far more racist agitators than me. Glenn Miller probably called the white woman a life guard. In Special Forces circles, this is a reference to whites who pull non-swimming blacks out of the water.

  4. Why not use the carrier’s catapult to launch the Blacks off the flight deck? Call it “accelerated promotion” for Blacks only. LOL!

  5. Lol Jdn, or black ops.I’m reminded of he 40s Disney film Dumbo. ” I’ve seen a house fly, I’ve seen a horse fly ” ” But I’ve never seen a negro move at 90 knots in a cloud of steam “
