Joachim Hagopian, Takedown of America via Lloyd Austin’s West Point Wokism, Challenged by New Lawsuit and His $1 Salary
Joachim Hagopian
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and West Point have splashed across recent headlines, further damaging the US Military Academy’s pristine reputation as a once honored, hallowed institution. From my own personal experience at West Point, I learned firsthand that this once heralded institution was and still is anything but honorable. At the end of my third year at the Academy, I had to fight for my constitutional due process rights in a New York federal district court to prevent the actions of dishonest officers engaging in command conspiracy from running up a series of demerits on provably false charges to oust me from the Academy. Denied due process of law, I was summarily railroaded out of West Point, a dishonorable unconstitutional practice that went unchallenged from West Point’s 1802 founding until 1972 when I took West Point Superintendent General William Knowlton, who two years later would become the father-in-law of another disgraced West Pointer General David Petraeus, whom I’ve also extensively written about and exposed. My landmark case overturned West Point’s lies as the first cadet ever to successfully challenge and beat the West Point system, enabling me to finish my senior year and graduate in 1973. My historic due process constitutional court victory over a half century ago has ever since been taught in law schools across the nation.
Sadly, West Point today, like USA Inc. today, is a total disgrace of wokism rot. Today’s US Department of Defense is a criminal operation if there ever was one, grossly misled by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who as a plebe I supervised as his assistant squad leader a few months prior to my court case. These days Lloyd Austin is coming under increasing scrutiny facing some harsh judgment himself, both legally and morally, for his gross dereliction of duty as head of both our armed forces and US national security. Just over six months ago, I wrote a scathing article exposing this traitor in our midst.
This incompetent loser humiliated himself and America with the horror show displayed before the world with America’s disgraceful exit in August 2021 ending our longest war in history after 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan, handing over billions worth in weapons to the victorious terrorist Taliban enemy, while abandoning and betraying loyal Afghans, stranding Americans still trapped there, topped off by the tragic loss of 13 US soldiers’ lives massacred at the Kabul Airport. This all went down while Lloyd Austin premeditatedly murdered and maimed thousands of armed forces members, until January this year mandating bioweapons masqueraded as vaccines, incapacitating America’s self-defense. Austen also accepted his “boss” Biden’s stand down order at the wide-open border letting in millions of military aged men to freely enter America from US’ #1 adversary China as well as letting in an army of countless south of the border drug cartel criminals. China’s bribery and sexual blackmail of the Biden crime family ensures America’s totalitarian Marxist takeover continues unimpeded, undefended and unopposed. Meanwhile, the man in charge of US self-defense fails to secure the border and our national security, instead continues waging an immoral war at all cost in Ukraine, a nation that poses zero national security threat to America. Yet Austin’s aggressive military policy to “weaken” and provoke Russia into a larger potential nuclear war for simply defending its own national security is a threat to all of our lives.
Moreover, this week Austin’s once again embarrassingly back in the headlines when GOP lawmakers punished his woke abominable wreckage of our US fighting force by passing an unprecedented amendment to the current Pentagon appropriations bill cutting his annual salary down to just one measly little dollar from his near quarter million. After introducing the amendment, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated:
Many Americans agree: We do not want the United States’ military led by failure, causing us to be weak, [later posting the statement], under his failed leadership, our military is being destroyed, and he doesn’t deserve to serve any longer.
Our current Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III as well as his and my alma mater West Point are currently being sued in an important legal case that could one day be adjudicated by the US Supreme Court for the high court’s failure three months ago. What’s being challenged now is the US Military Academy’s unconstitutional admissions policy of outright racial discrimination against members of the non-minority Caucasian race. Named as co-defendants in the 29-page lawsuit are also Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, US Military Academy Superintendent General Steven Gilland and West Point Admissions Director Rance Lee.
The anti-affirmative action group Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) recently won round one with its June 29, 2023 landmark court case decided by the US Supreme Court to effectively strike down America’s affirmative action policy at both Harvard and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and in effect, virtually all US college campuses. This same anti-affirmative action group is at it once again, filing another similar lawsuit on Tuesday September 19th against the US Military Academy in the nearby White Plains federal district court in the Westchester County seat in the State of New York, just 38 miles south of West Point and a suburb just under 30 miles north of New York City.
West Point accepts 1,200 to 1,300 applicants of its well over ten thousand applicants yearly as one of the most selective, hard to get into institutions of higher learning in America, rejecting over 90% of those that apply yearly to this acclaimed historic institution on the Hudson River. Because it’s a highly ranked four-year academic as well as military school where cadets are granted a full scholarship and upon graduation, are commissioned officers in the US Army, the applications process is stringently unique. Prior to an appointment at West Point, each applicant must first compete to attain a nomination from their Congress members, Vice President or US President. Every applicant submits to a medical examination, a physical fitness test as well as meet the academic criteria as part of the exhaustive application process.
Per a Tuesday September 19th Politico article, the West Point lawsuit argues:
Instead of admitting future cadets based on objective metrics and leadership potential, West Point focuses on race. In fact, it openly publishes its racial composition ‘goals,’ and its director of admissions brags that race is wholly determinative for hundreds if not thousands of applicants… SFFA’s lawsuit takes issue with racial preferences used by the admissions office, and the school’s nondiscrimination policy on its website that says ‘the United States Military Academy is fully committed to affirmative action.’
Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion in the decision to end affirmative action at America’s colleges in June this year, differentiated between regular civilian colleges and the service academies at West Point, Annapolis and US Air Force Academy, noting in a footnote that the military academies carry “potentially distinct interests,” whatever that nebulous term means. The current lawsuit alleges:
[The US Military Academy is] violating the principle of equal protection enshrined in the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment and sought an order barring the academy from considering an applicant’s race during admissions.
The lawsuit contends that the Fifth Amendment violation contains an equal-protection principle that binds the federal government to uphold race-free consideration in employment, college admissions, housing and loan applications.
A September 19th Reuters article states:
The lawsuit said that West Point engaged in ‘racial balancing’ when deciding who will be a future cadet and set benchmarks for the percentage of each class that should be filled by ‘African Americans,’ ‘Hispanics,’ and ‘Asians.’
Under West Point’s existing racial quota policy, two SFFA members who happen to also be members of the Caucasian race are automatically prevented “from competing for admission on an equal footing.” That’s discrimination, plain and simple. And rejecting more qualified Caucasian American applicants based on the color of their skin is unethical, wrong, and in any other jurisdictional setting illegal. So, what grounds does a military academy admissions office have to render this practice legal and exclusively exempt from civil rights antidiscrimination laws? It’s a chapter straight out of what’s referred to as reverse discrimination and a clear Fifth Amendment violation. The long compromised Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts may just have to eat his words.
Any argument that attempts to justify academies’ racial exemption from all existing antidiscrimination laws based on the faulty straw man argument that the officer corps within each branch of service should maintain roughly the same parity of racial composition as its enlisted ranks the officer corps commands is ethically groundless and weak at best. Put to the test, the West Point Class of 2027 consists of 39% minorities (black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American), yet racially the respective Army enlisted ranks are 23%, 20%, 7% and 1%, (i.e., a 51% total racial minority construing a slight majority within the US Army). If the officer corps (per Class of ’27) is comprised of 39% racial minorities commanding the 51% enlisted minority majority, even more accepted applicants to West Point would need to be minority members.
But if the USMA admissions policy favors minorities at the expense of dominant white majority applicants when a number of the white applicants are summarily rejected for admission based solely on race consideration despite being more qualified with higher school grades, test scores, extracurricular activities, physical aptitude, and potential leadership abilities, then West Point’s racial discrimination policy neither serves the best interests of the US Army nor our nation’s national security. To rectify this egregious admissions policy, the federal district court needs to strike down West Point’s discriminatory, unfair admissions policy.
The SFFA lawsuit further asserts:
For most of its history, West Point has evaluated cadets based on merit and achievement. America’s enemies do not fight differently based on the race of the commanding officer opposing them, soldiers must follow orders without regard to the skin color of those giving them, and battlefield realities apply equally to all soldiers regardless of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
This pending law case really opens up the entire Pandora’s box of today’s disgracefully woke US armed forces that devote far too much attention and priority to the dogma of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” than it does to combat readiness and improving the strength of our military fighting force. Under Lloyd Austin and his Braindead boss, the US military is increasingly unfit for the job of providing adequate national defense for our defenseless nation. But then with the subversively treasonous indoctrination that promotes the Saul Alinsky Marxist objective to destroy America the constitutional republic, Braindead and Austin are simply following their masters’ Satanic death cult orders.
A former West Point admissions director actually boasted:
A couple of years ago, every qualified African-American applicant were [sic] offered admission into West Point, yet the class composition goal was still lacking.
So, all black applicants were given carte blanche acceptance to West Point for demonstrating minimal qualifying standards yet their number still failed to fill the race quota for blacks, while rejecting other mostly white applicants that were more qualified. This debasement of individuals based solely on skin color should be an insult to all races and all Americans while categorically denying more than 90% of academy applicants in part because they were the “wrong” skin color. And then brazenly brag about it is disgraceful.
Under Lloyd Austin’s appallingly woke, demoralizing leadership, he ensured that the ranks allow crossdressing trannies to wear dresses in the mess hall, showcase Drag Queen Story Hour on military posts, that is until Austin and America’s top general were shamed and chastised before Congress prior to finally dispensing with this degenerate practice in June this year, permit taxpaid transgender surgeries and treatment to defer military assignment up to a year, make the highly divisive Critical Race Theory mandatory across all services. These degenerately woke standards destroyed enlistment and recruitment quotas across the board, tanked troop morale, polarized the military ranks and detract from the strategic combat readiness and mission to train and improve the quality of our fighting force for optimal battlefield results.
From a Tuesday September 26th revolver.news exposé on the downfall of the once prestigious and honorable US Military Academy:
Today, West Point is just another woke joke, churning out young Marxists with contempt for the very nation they’re supposedly preparing to defend.
West Point’s academic curriculum has regressed and been irreversibly sullied, now offering wokeness as a “Diversity and Inclusion Studies” minor, requiring enrollment in such courses as “Power and Difference” and “Social Inequality.”
Largely this cancerous wokism malady afflicting West Point and entire US armed forces and nation, is spearheaded by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion dogma, fully embraced by our nation’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. This malady must be reversed if our constitutional republic is to survive. As the poster boy product of affirmative action, General Lloyd Austin epitomizes the Peter Principle in action, punching his ticket up the ranks of mediocrity ascension, rising to his level of incompetence. Serving as today’s US Defense Secretary under the puppet Biden regime, whose mission is to follow his handlers’ orders to finish the job traitor Obama started – destroying the United States from within. Austin’s half century of ass kissing his superiors as the typical bureaucratic politician general, steeped in affirmative wokeness, has paid off for him bigtime, having signed on as a fellow US traitor to undermine, weaken and ultimately destroy America’s capacity to defend itself from enemies both foreign and within.
