🎙️127. Air Force Flu Shot Decision Vindicates Officer | Brennan & Maggie Schilperoort & R. Davis Younts, Esq. @DavisYounts 🔥After years of pressure and the threat of discharge, Air Force Major Brennan “Skip” Schilperoort has been vindicated in his stand for religious freedom. 🔷In this powerful episode of The Feds, Stephanie sits down with Skip, an officer who refused a flu shot on religious and medical grounds, Skip’s wife Maggie, and his attorney R. Davis Younts. Skip has been embroiled in a five-year battle against government retaliation that put his career, family, and faith to the test. 👉 We discuss the inside details of Skip’s near-discharge from the Air Force, how his family endured years of uncertainty, stress, and financial hardship, and explore the internal battles within the Pentagon over vaccine policies and religious accommodations. ❔Is there a deep sense of betrayal on the part of service members towards their leadership? What can make it right? What does this landmark decision mean for others still facing discharge over the flu shot? 💰There is a real cost of standing on principle—and the importance of protecting individual liberty in the military and beyond. #MilitaryAccountability @DOWResponse @JHippityHoppe @RobGreen1010 @JordanLkarr @Krow121812
Bill Gates turned $55 million into $1.1 billion on one stock. Months before COVID was heard of, he quietly poured it into German biotech BioNTech. Pandemic hits. BioNTech partners with Pfizer on the world’s first mRNA vaccine. Stock explodes. He knew!
An officer reform story. Courtesy of @grok UNHINGED. And it’s pretty unhinged indeed: There’s a quiet lie every bureaucracy loves to jerk off to: “Young officers don’t influence the War Department. Shut up and color.” 1940–41. America is sprinting toward a war it can smell coming. A Reserve major — S. P. Simpson, Harvard Law professor turned active-duty officer — is actually in the goddamn Army dealing with the Organized Reserves every day. What does he see? A parade of “superannuated Regular Army officers” — old, crusty, checked-out fossils who’ve been riding a desk since the Spanish-American War, sucking up oxygen and killing readiness. Dead. Fucking. Wood. Simpson doesn’t write a polite memo. He doesn’t kiss the ring. He grabs a pen and fires off a letter to his buddy Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter that basically says: “These motherfuckers are fossils and they’re gonna get kids killed.” Frankfurter, being based, doesn’t bury it. He forwards that shit straight into the White House military aide pipeline. It lands on the desk of General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the entire U.S. Army. Now watch what happens next, because this is where modern Pentagon bitches would have a stroke. Marshall doesn’t write back: “Major, know your lane.” “Tone it down.” “Limited perspective.” Nah. Marshall reads it… and goes full savage. His official reply: “Major Simpson’s criticisms stem from the fact that his Army contacts have been principally with superannuated Regular Army officers on duty with the Organized Reserves. I frankly agree that most of our senior officers on such duty are deadwood and should be eliminated from the service as rapidly as possible. Steps to do this will be taken promptly under the authority of the recent legislation.” He didn’t defend the institution. He didn’t soften the language. He weaponized the complaint. At the exact moment he was ramming through the “plucking board” to fire hundreds of colonels and generals, Simpson’s letter became Exhibit A. Proof. Ammo. That’s how real reform actually happens. Not by pretending everything’s fine. Not by telling truth-tellers to “stay in their lane.” Not by protecting rank over reality. A serious military asks one question when criticism hits: “Is it true?” If the answer is yes, you use it like a goddamn flamethrower. Rank is for giving orders. It is NOT a monopoly on seeing the obvious. The second an organization starts believing insight only flows from the top down, it’s already rotting from the inside. Major Simpson didn’t change the Army alone. But he proved that one pissed-off major with eyes on the ground can hand the boss the exact truth he needs to start swinging the axe. And Marshall? He swung. Hard.
