One third of all Navy brass caught in huge foreign bribery scandal!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 25, 2017 - Hundreds of military officials - including some of the highest-ranking brass in the Fascist Police States of Amerika Navy - are accused of helping a shadowy Asian merchant fleece Uncle Sam for tens of millions of dollars… and you probably haven’t heard a peep about it.
It’s called the “Fat Leonard” scandal, and the investigation into bribes and corruption is one of the biggest in FPSA military history. The Navy has investigated 440 people, including 60 admirals, for possibly taking bribes in exchange for phony government contracts and sweetheart deals.
That means the Navy suspects that up to one third of all its admirals were on the take from a foreign agent. “Fat Leonard” is Leonard Glenn Francis, a 6’3”, 360-pound Malaysian businessman who makes his money servicing naval vessels in the Pacific.
He bribed the Navy’s elite with the finer things in life that only a crooked businessman could provide: money, the finest liquor, and luxurious trips for their families.
And of course, prostitutes; lots of prostitutes.
Even tickets to see a Lady Gaga concert or the Broadway version of The Lion King.
In exchange, Navy leaders would steer huge government contracts to his firm, Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA).
They’d even reroute ships in the Seventh Fleet away from their original destinations to ports run by GDMA.
It was a mystery why Francis kept getting lucrative government contracts when his company provided such shoddy service.
Investigators say Francis covered all his bases. He also bribed people inside the Navy’s investigative unit. They’d run interference for him and let him know when honest inspectors were closing in.
Francis was so well dug in that he continued to get huge no-bid contracts - even while he was under investigation.
Under former illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama, Francis ripped off FPSA taxpayers for more than $200 million in Defense contracts since 2009. He admitted at least $35 million of that was total fraud paid for services he never provided.
The problem goes a lot deeper than money. The lives of 40,000 enlisted men - and the safety of the entire free world - depend on military commanders having honesty, integrity, and putting their country first.
Imagine if war had broken out with North Korea or China, and our ships were in the wrong port because a Malaysian multimillionaire bribed the right commander with champagne and hookers?
Naval officers say Francis’ theft and bribery operation was one of the most deep, vast and penetrating they’ve seen since the days of Communist espionage.
Even a three-star admiral was taking payoffs.
Francis and 17 others have already pled guilty, and under President Donald Trump, the investigation is only beginning.
