yeh, he is just one more to have made a deal with the devil.

Nothing as American as apple pie seeing a group of white teens racially vilifying a native American elder and then the main protagonist winning a 6 figure settlement to pay for his college. Like a MAGA wet dream.

this young fascist bully represents a clear and present danger to the rest of us.

Nathan Phillips, the Native American leader who accused Covington Catholic High School students of harassing him last Friday, falsely claimed in a 2018 Facebook video that he was a “Vietnam vet” and served “in theater.”

Military records show that Phillips, who served in the Marine Corps between 1972 and 1976, was not deployed overseas and spent the years working stateside as a refrigerator mechanic after a four-month stint as an anti-tank missileman.

Phillips, 63, has previously suggested that he might have served in the war, referring to himself in interviews as a “Vietnam times veteran” and a “recon ranger" and stating: "People called me a baby killer and a hippie girl spit on me.”

But now, Phillips has been shown claiming outright that he served in the Vietnam War in a video posted to the Native Youth Alliance Facebook page last January.

“I’m a Vietnam vet, you know, I served in the Marine Corps, ’72 to ’76," Phillips said in the video. "I got discharged May 5th 1976, you know. One of the — I got honorable discharge — and one of the boxes in there, it shows if it was peacetime, or what my box says is that I was in theater. I don't talk much about my Vietnam times, you know. I usually say I don't recollect, I don't recall, you know, those years."

Military records provided to the Washington Examiner show that Phillips, who went by his adopted name “Nathaniel Stanard” at the time, served in the Marine Corps Reserve between 1972 to 1976 and held the rank of private, E-1, on April 18, 1975. According to records obtained by former Navy SEAL Don Shipley, Phillips was listed as absent without leave three times.

The Native American tribal elder who became the focus of a viral social media controversy over the weekend is not a Vietnam veteran, the U.S. Marine Corps confirmed Wednesday.

Nathan Phillips, 64, spent four years in the Marine Corps Reserve and left in 1976 with the rank of private, or E-1, the Marines said in a statement providing his personal releasable information.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception has confirmed that protesters led by the Native American activist Nathan Phillips attempted to disrupt the celebration of Mass on the evening of Jan. 19.
On Jan. 23, a spokesperson for the Washington, DC basilica released a statement to CNA confirming the previously reported events of Saturday night.

The statement said that while Mass was being celebrated, “a group of approximately 50 individuals attempted to gain entrance to the basilica while chanting and hitting drums.”

The statement clarified that the protesters attempted to gain entrance to the basilica during the celebration of a specially arranged Mass being celebrated at 7 p.m, and not, as had previously been reported, during the basilica’s regularly scheduled 5:15 p.m. Mass.

“At this time, Mass was being celebrated in the upper church where the individuals attempted to enter,” the statement said.

In respect and reverence for the Mass, the individuals were not permitted to enter the Basilica due to the disruption it would have caused during the solemn Mass. The individuals were asked to leave the property after it was determined they did not intend to share in the celebration of Mass.”

According to video footage of the event and eye-witness accounts, the group assembled across the road from the shrine before setting off toward its main entrance, chanting and playing drums.

As I've pointed out many times here - The Daily Mail is a sensationalist, muck-raking rag and not to be trusted.

Not that Wikipedia is especially trustworthy but it does have a better summary of what actually happened, and Mr Reynholm is right - there is much more to this than was reported.

Absolutely this. Drives me loopy when I see non UK folk linking it online thinking they are providing actual 'proof' of something happening. You would get laughed at in the UK if you claimed something then when asked how you know this, said it was in the DM

Nation Phillips is a liar who engaged in stolen valor.
Native American activist Nathan Phillips lied that he was a 'Vietnam vet' in Facebook video

Yes - while what got reported initially was certain organisations falling over themselves to make it something other than what it was claimed to be, thereby opening themselves up to defamation lawsuits .

Nathan Phillip's background was unfairly dragged through the mud by those seeking to either bolster the case for Sandmann and his group of teenage racists schoolmates, and the newsmedia who also saw an opportunity to continue the drama of the Covington incident (not unlike the Meghan Vs Royal family saga) so happily published this.

What any reasonable person would surmise from the situation is that the Covington boys and specifically Nicholas Sandmann acted based on what they saw which was an old native american man trying to intervene to stop the boys from responding to group of black hebrews. Phillip's prior conduct had nothing to do with the racist taunts thrown at him so that argument is a red herring.

Due to Trump's interference (which should really have been sufficient justification to throw out the case in the first place) the real issues were never addressed by the media and not properly articulated by native Americans themselves.

1. The Covington catholic school is in a predominantly white republican area
2, the enrolment is 100% white
3. the school allowed the boys to wear MAGA paraphanelia as they walked in public which meabns their funding should be cut
4. the school allowed the boys to protest abortion (a political issue) which means their funding should be cut
5. the most important point is the group of boys were caught on camera being racist which is a reflection of the community they are from which allows such values to continue being passed on to the next generation perpetuating the apartheid in US society.
