As funny as most outrageous things this administration says: funny in the "this milk tastes funny, is it spoiled?" sense.
You know it’s funny. That movie ‘Stop-Loss’ that came out recently tanked at the box office. I guess it’s not the 60’s anymore. Nobody seems to get outraged. People won’t even go to a movie in protest now!

“The most satisfying moment of all the time we spent in meetings came when we met with Chairman Conyers, and the moment Matthis said “I am refusing orders to deploy to Iraq on the grounds that this Occupation is illegal by international law, federal law, and Constitutional law…” and Congressman Conyers, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee interrupted Matthis and said “You’re right! I agree! It is illegal.””-Kristopher Goldsmith (IVAW LI, NY)

Mathis Chiroux has just wasted his 15 minutes of fame! The US goverment if it has its sensible hat on, will probably just ignore his stand against the alleged illegal was/occupation of Iraq! There are enough protesters to show their dissent against the war and Mathis Chiroux is just another name to add to the list. Maybe he should run for Congress if he is dedicated to get his voice heard, but i find that single issue candidates usually fail to get the voters out for their cause. He certainly knows how to play to the camera. Mr Chiroux knows that he will probably not be prosecuted for his failure to return to duty as the US military are not not activly pursuing ex military personnel who do not return to active duty.
Robert, you certainly hit the nail on the head about Chiroux. He is by far the most self-indulged piece of crap to ever hit the news. All he does is continuously talk about himself without giving any credit to “the cause” he supposedly adheres to. I’ve spoken to several Soldiers who have worked with him in the past and know him on a more close level, and they all share the same story – Mr Chiroux has used and manipulated American citizens into providing him with supple funds to smoke pot, screw women and spew sludge from his mouth, presenting himself as nothing more than a waste of peoples time, resources and energy.
I am a member of the IVAW. For obvious reasons, I choose to remain anonymous. For those of you who have questioned the authenticity of Matthis Chiroux, you are absolutely right. I’ve known Matthis for almost a year now. His words and actions behind the scenes speak for themselves. He cheats the public and lies. Hands of applause, please. This should be the next corrupt politician in line.
The facts: Matthis Chiroux’s belief in the illegal war concept does not stem from any goodness, but simple fear of facing his duties. Whereas the rest of our IVAW members have been overseas, this kid dances in the light of being in Afghanistan for one week. Bravo. Nice job. Real war hero. His response to the anti-war cause did not occur anytime before his call to duty. In fact, his initial plan was to run off to Canada or to Europe. But you don’t hear this on TV, do you? Of course not. Because he’s a war hero. Next, as proven by several comments from people who know him, Matthis enlistment in the military had nothing to do with his social status, and much to do with the fact that he’s a royal fuckup. Now this is understandable. I too am a fuckup. But come on dude, fess the fuck up. Chicken shit. And stop making stupid remarks about the people who interview you, you smug fuck. Who do you think you are? God? Now here’s the real kicker, and maybe I’m writing this because I’m fumed. Maybe not. Matthis receives support and endowments from a generous public. Yet most of the time he spends sitting on his bony ass smoking up and talking about political situations that he probably just read about. Ask him any surprise question about a particular subject, and you’ll notice him either scramble for answers or sway from the topic. It’s really pretty fucking fascinating. He has the IQ of Forrest Gump but pulls off looking like he’s the Albert Einstein of world affairs.
I have just one request to the people who fall for these antics: wake the hell up
conan- if you’re an ivaw member then unicorns must really exist too
Why do you think members of the IVAW are leaving it one by one?
This publicity stunt really pisses me off (referring to Matthis’ recent e-mail about his IRR Discharge Hearing). First of all, a discharge from the IRR has nothing to do with the GI Bill. I’m disgusted by the fact that Matthis is getting this benefit, knowing how truly DISHONORABLE his conduct was, during and after his enlistment.
So fuck it, I’m putting the information out there so everyone else can decide how much of a HERO this LIAR is.
How many people know that Matthis is a RAPIST? Yup, I said rapist. He admitted to myself, and a few other IVAW members to raping a girl while on assignment in the Philippines, and blamed it- not on himself being a complete douche bag… But he said the military life had made it acceptable. I say fuck that, because my entire time in the military it was NOT ACCEPTABLE TO RAPE A WOMAN. I have friends while in the military who volunteered to testify against rapists on active duty. Being in the Army doesn’t make you lose your soul, like Matthis would try to convince you. Knowing that Matthis is a rapist has made me cringe every time I hear him talk about what a progressive, or feminist he is. I’d like to find one feminist who’d believe his claim that it’s the military’s fault, not his, for him raping some poor little prostitute in the Philippines, whom Matthis told me he knew at the time, that she wasn’t a volunteer in the sex trade.
Matthis has spent money on drugs like COCAINE while living off the donations of peace activists and supporters. Is that what any of you donated for? Matthis has been accused of squandering donations in the past, and has shed the accusations because no witnesses came forward. I apologize for not coming forward before this, but I was there. Just before leaving for DC to lobby Congress on Matthis’ behalf, Matthis and I spoke at a fundraiser in Brooklyn and received $800 in cash donations. That money was meant to provide support for our mission. And Matthis had the balls to both beg people for that money and spend money on hard drugs (as in, drugs other than weed, which I know is highly acceptable in the activist circle). He also had the balls to let me believe that retelling my traumatic story time and time again for his financial gain was to keep his sorry ass out of jail. (Initially, I felt I owed him since he said my Winter Soldier Testimony was the inspiration for him to resist activation orders).
Matthis used my IVAW business cards (of course without my permission) to chop up the cocaine before he snorted it, while staying at his friends house in DC. Ironically, I had printed on those cards in large print, “THEY RISKED EVERYTHING, TO TELL THE TRUTH”, referring to the Winter Soldiers.
The truth is that Matthis has risked nothing, and he’s been shitting on the real Winter Soldiers, the ones who served our country when we were asked, and continue on to serve on a path of righteousness now that we’ve learned the truth. Matthis is an opportunist, a fake, a liar, a drug user, A RAPIST and far from deserving anything that labels his conduct as “honorable”.
I’ve told Matthis that if he continues his statements about being on the “Moral High Ground” without letting the real truth come out that I’d come forward with this information. Well, Right-Wing-Bloggers, blog away! My name is Kristofer Goldsmith, and you can find me on facebook. If you want an interview, I’ll be answering any questions you have about the truth about Matthis Chiroux.
By the way, most of Matthis’ “war stories” from his military career involved things like doing drugs and going to clubs in foreign countries while on active duty while the rest of the Army was suffering through two wars- wars he didn’t oppose until he got activation orders. HE NEVER RESISTED ORDERS TO DEPLOY TO IRAQ. He simply refused orders to activate from the IRR. He never showed up to duty, and therefore never took a risk. People who believe he’s done anything brave, simply don’t know the difference. He’s done nothing but gain from his time “struggling” while living off the kindness of peace activists, having the opportunity to travel the country, and at the same time pay for his too-big-for-a-college-student apartment in Brooklyn.
To people who may criticize me about “bringing down IVAW”… Matthis is not IVAW, he’s been taking advantage of you, open your eyes. It’s time to purge the shit from our system.
I am, and for ever will be, an Iraq Veteran Against the War. Matthis, simply stated, never will be. I’m ashamed that our loose membership criteria allows such a person to stand among our ranks, and and to corruptly gain fame off the backs of those who truly sacrifice- be it in the uniform of the American Military, or the uniform of the IVAW.
As I was for the problems I saw in the Military, I will do the same for problems with IVAW and the rest of my life. I WILL NOT BE SILENT.
Kris,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing up against Matthis Chiroux. I’ve felt the brunt of his backstabbing, buddy-fucking tactics as well. There are more people in our position than you can imagine. This guy is by far the lowest, most degrading, disgusting and sinister individual I have ever come across. I sincerely hope it won’t be too long before other people realize, for their own well-being, the manipulative maneuvers he uses to get his way.
