Daniel New Interview 1998 PT 1⧸2 [YtAX 9V1yuE]

00:00 Daniel New, father of Michael New. For those of you who may not remember or have heard of Michael New, he was a young specialist who was going to be sent over as a mercenary for the UN and he refused to wear an UN insignia stating that, hey I'm obeying the Constitution. I swore to uphold and defend it against enemies foreign domestic. I cannot be a hired mercenary therefore i am not going to obey this unlawful order in fact he's required as we saw from Nuremberg disobey an unlawful order. That's what came out of Nuremberg, you have to excuse me you have to disobey and unlawful orders so we're going go that video right now it is about 11 minutes long this was taken at the Silver Eagle Tap House in McQueenie Texas a wonderful place

00:51 he refused to put on the blue helmet. Same as it was in Douglas MacArthur's day again reporting for The Tie That Binds and The Freedom Report, I have the distinct pleasure tonight we're at the Silver Eagle Tap House for the Gulf War veterans that is being put on its a fundraiser being put up by Captain Joyce Riley telling the truth about gulf war illness and we ran into Daniel New father of Michael New who brought himself some fame by refusing to wear a UN uniform, an UN insignia on his uniform. It's a pleasure meeting you Mr. New. Tell us tonight why you came tonight and then after that what happened to Michael?

01:30 Well, there are a few organizations that have been as supportive as the American Gulf War Veterans Association in terms of supporting Michael. And we support their issue. We think that what was done to our Gulf War veterans is it was a travesty and what Joyce Riley is doing is a very important message to get out to guys who are sick and being told by the Veterans Administration or medical doctors that its in their head but they're dying from it They're dying from this disease that they tell them is in their head. And so we think it's a very important issue and one that affects lots of veterans because what's at stake there is an issue basically of having been lied to by our own government. And so, that's why we support Joyce and Captain Riley and her husband...and Dave early on in his...even before we knew about Joyce or had just heard about her back in early 96 I guess

02:25 late 95. He interviewed me on his radio station in Waterbury, Connecticut he had a little talk show up there and when he did the next day or two he was thinking about Michael and he was working at a carpentry job and kept thinking about this little phrase going through his head A Patch of Green in a sea of blue and he was seeing Mike, he was just watching Mike and this thing turned into a song which he's written. He sang it tonight I don't know if you heard? It was excellent! It was very excellent! That is a good song maybe you guys can get a cut out to put on your program. Definitely! Tell us for those I should say for those who don't know about the issue that basically he was an American soldier. He was serving in Germany, a medic

03:17 And he was told that if he didn't wear the United Nations uniform, the helmet and patch and so on. That he would be put in prison or court-martialed. He said look guys I'm American you know? I don't understand what's wrong here is he said I took a oath to the United States of America! I will go anywhere in an American uniform under American officers. Even if I don't like the mission, that's not the issue You can't put me under a general from Finland against the Constitution you can't force me to wear an unauthorized uniform So they did court-martial him when he disobeyed the order There is no question he disobeyed the order The army would not allow evidence of why he disobeyed it be presented to the jury so of course they found him guilty

03:59 And as a result, we're appealing that. Now we've asked the civilian courts to intervene and we've gone to federal district court and they said... We won't look at it until the Army is through with him. We appealed that, we lost, went to the Supreme Court and lost there on the right to be heard in civilian courts. We've now lost a court-martial so thats four times Now were waiting on the decision of the Army Court of Criminal Appeals which was held May 28th this year in Washington Falls Church Virginia We expect them to rule against us, but we don't understand why it takes over three months to decide no I mean you know they could have done this in 30 minutes. You know over coffee and Just gotten it over with they didn't even record they didn't record Orally they didn't have a stenographer to record that that hearing and so these judges can't look back later And say what did we say? What was the argument? It's just all memory

04:52 So clearly they didn't take it serious and they're not going to do anything but turn us down. But they are stalling for time." Now I haven't had the opportunity to meet Michael, I've read a couple of mainstream news clips Tell me my understanding is before all this happened we aren't talking about a person that has disrespect for authority are we? We're talking about a person who's always just towed the line and been straight and narrow And i'm not gonna call this out on the ordinary for him but you would definitely say that he is not a person that shucks authority, is that correct? Absolutely not. Michael was a model soldier. He was offered what they call a green to gold program which is where an enlisted man moves to an officer's program. I could tell ya I was in the Air Force and that's not an easy thing to get. They asked him if he would be interested in that and he said well guys look I'm from East Texas where they have trees

05:44 You sent me to West Texas where they don't, you know. Can I see the world? He's at Fort Bliss out there in El Paso." And so then they sent him to Saudi Arabia after—at the follow-up to Desert Storm and he said, yes a lot like West Texas with camels, you know and uh... So can I see some more of the world?" And then they sent him to Germany and it was just a matter of time. He had already been promoted early, he was promoted earlier than he was supposed to which you understand how they can do that with the sergeant and officer signing off on it And uh... he was in line for sergeants promotion but had to wait for time Uh.. he was a good soldier and he'd saved several lives on maneuvers

06:22 He loved it and you'll appreciate this. He said once to me that, he said I get up every morning and say I could do 20 years of this standing on my head. I love this life! And then if we go to bed every night he would say I'm going AWOL in the morning You know how you have this love hate thing that goes on all the time? But he was a good soldier and he was seriously considering his career Talk about what motivated this decision I know why it would be important to me to not wear that insignia. Why was it important him to not wear that insignia? You know a lot of people have wondered if he agonized over it, and it was an instinctive thing He said...he called me up And he said you know dad they've asked me said I think I'm gonna be court-martialed. I said what have you done?! That must be shocking! I was going to say in light of what you just told me that had to be pretty shocking. Yeah man I thought What on earth have you done!?

07:11 It was an accident. I mean, you know, you're making up excuses for your son. He said well i haven't done anything and I said all right then why would the court marshal you? And he said well uh it's for something I'm going to not do. And I said what on earth is that? And he said well they told me I have to wear this blue helmet. And we understood immediately what were the implications but he said yeah it seems to me dad that that first of all I took the oath to my country, an exclusive oath and i don't see how they can force me to shift my allegiance to a foreign power which the United Nations is by law and treaty definition it's a foreign power. And he said if they can force me to wear that hat in Europe well then what's keeping them from forcing me to wear it Texas someday? Geography has no defense you cant say sure Sarge you have authority to make do with there but not here

07:56 So it's a matter of time, and I think the day will come when we will see blue helmets in America enforcing the New World Order. I have gotten a lot of emails recently about alleged UN troop movements. I haven't been able to go and follow up on them. It is something that I would like to do but already we are seeing some forces at least it being allege doing exercises in different areas of the country We know that there have been Russian soldiers and a number of Eastern Bloc soldiers at Fort Polk, at Fort Riley in Kansas, Fort Polk in Louisiana and others. And we have first-hand reports for the last three years. A lot of people come to me with first hand evidence of foreign troops in the country. Now were not just talking cross training of officers or corps or elite I know the Air Force trains

08:44 pilots who are going to be flying our planes, that sort of thing. At Fort Bliss they do that with 200 Germans and 200 Japanese every... there's a continual rotation But that's growing. I think the day is coming though when we're going to see, you know We've just got a new international criminal court that's been put into power and I've been maintaining it It's like a three-legged stool they need three in order to have one world government They've got to have three things if they don't have now one They've got to have a world taxation system to pay for it So that they can quit begging the United States for money once the union once they have their own source of funding They call that the EU

09:21 Well, they you know that the Rubin tax it's been proposed not the Ruben tax Tobin taxes been proposed a dollar of barrel on every Dollar of barrel attacks on every bill that comes out of the ocean floor A dollar on every or one percent of every international flight
