Assuming the FOIA info kman posted above didn't come from a Texas Kinko it doesn't say much for Mr Churchills service. I surprised to be able to read most of the redacted portions. If you can't:

Military Education lists Light Truck Driver, Projectionist, The (and then unreadable) which comports with other reports. No jump school, no special training. Five assignments in two years which I figure are an induction, a discharge, one or two for training and only one actual duty.

Except for the Expert Rifle Bar these are all unit citations. He did make it to 'Nam where he must have learned he was an Eichmann cog in the great killing machine. Was the complex guilt or inferiority? And, of course, like Herr Hitler he was a corporal. It must have been his inspiration.

They list Peoria as his place of birth. I think Illinois wiped out the last indian during the Black Hawk War in the 1830s.

LOL!

Here's the resume he used to get the job at CU. He claims to have been an Public Information Specialist in the military---wrote newsletters and such. Of course he lied on his resume (claiming to be an Injun), so it wouldn't surprise me if he lied about his service.

No wonder the university hired him. Look at the classes he taught:

Basic Marxism.
Marxism and the Native American
Cultural Marxism

Confronting The Crime Of Silence: Evidence Of US War Crimes In Indochina
ITEM OVERVIEW
Churchill and Saito use source material from civilian, Congressional and veterans organizations to examine America's systematic use of criminal behavior to acheive military victory. From Noam Chomsky to John Kerry, Jean-Paul Sartre to Gabriel Kolko, and from "free-fire zones" to Mai Lai, the "official" excuses are skewered. Coming June 2005





yes, it is the Ward Churchill, AKPress has a news item about this controversy on their home page

True and I'll bet a round that if you investigated the background for those requirements, you'll find that the Ward Churchills of the world served on committees that defined requirements and finalized course catalogues. They volunteer for such undesirable committees in order to feather their own nests.

Doing his part for "the cause" ... he so typifies the people in the neo-comm movement -- working overtime in every possible way they can think of to attack America ... hope he interviewed kerry to get additional, first-hand information for the "sourcing" of his war crimes charges. This "war crimes" book just fits perfectly into the profile we see emerging and frankly, I'm stumped for a response here -- just feel a deep disgust that doesn't translate into words. Liar, fraud, victim, narcissist, power-seeker, arrogance -- I don't know if it's self-loathing or just a juvenile need for attention -- but it's dangerous, as we've seen with a person like kerry who is able to politically project these personality attributes outward and cause much harm. The good thing about digging into who Churchill is and exposing what he's said and done in his miserable hate-America life, is that America's drums are now beginning to beat louder than his and he's not going to be able to drown them out .

If ethnic studies were not required the question is, would anybody take them. Probably not. It's just a way to provide a salary for these nitwits. Just what the hell does one do with a major in ethnic studies in the real world??

Another source, the people that helped the VVAW organize the Wintersoldier hearings:
The Citizens' Commission of Inquiry on U.S. War Crimes "--an offshoot of the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. CCI staff organized the early chapters of Vietnam Veterans Against War (VVAW) in 1970-71. This work is the subject of two books: The Dellums Committee Hearings on War Crimes in Vietnam (Ensign, Rifkin, Uhl, editors, Vintage Book) and Standard Operating Procedure, by James Simon Kunen (Avon Books)."

------------------------
Off this topic, but I just ran across this note about Churchill speaking at the 2nd International Black Panther Film Festival - Dates: May 3rd and May 6th 2001:

575 Malcom X Blvd.
New York, New York 10032

Miller Theater of Columbia University

New York, New York 10027

Speakers: Bobby Seale, Ward Churchill, Iris Morales, Gloria Roloando, Jamal Joseph, Kathleen Cleaver, and others

Films: Public Enemy, All Power to the People, Eyes of the Rainbow, Passin'
It On, Isolated Incidents, Paul Robeson: Here I Stand, Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind, and others

Also, at the Studio Museum of Harlem on May 2nd there will be a public book program to celebrate the publication of "Liberation, Imagination, and the Black Panther Party," a new book co-edited by Kathleen Cleaver about the Panthers. SOURCE

--------------------------------------------
and a note from 1995: "Black Panther Party Documents"
"Almost every book written about the Black Panthers has the Ten-Point
Platform in it..... Anything that also has the Eight main points of attention and the three main rules of discipline would be beneficial. These were modified from Mao's little red book and are also contained in most publications about the Panthers. Also try Gene Marine, author of *The Black Panthers*. Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall also wrote some good books about the organization.

SITTING BULL-S***
by Ann Coulter
February 9, 2005

If Ward Churchill loses his job teaching at the University of Colorado, he could end up giving Howard Dean a real run for his money to head the Democratic National Committee.

Churchill already has a phony lineage and phony war record — just like John Kerry! (Someone should also check out Churchill's claim that he spent Christmas 1968 at Wounded Knee.) In 1983, Churchill met with Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and later felt it necessary to announce that his group, the American Indian Movement, "has not requested arms from the Libyan government." In 1997, he was one of the "witnesses" who spoke at a "Free Mumia" event in Philadelphia on behalf of convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Come to think of it, Churchill could give Hillary a run for her money. All that's left for Churchill to do now is meet with Al Sharpton and kiss Suha Arafat.

Churchill's claim that he is an Indian isn't an incidental boast, like John Kerry pretending to be Irish. It is central to his career, his writing, his political activism. Churchill has been the co-director of the American Indian Movement of Colorado, the vice chairperson of the American Indian "Anti-Defamation" Council, and an associate professor and coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado.

By Churchill's own account, a crucial factor in his political development was "being an American Indian referred to as 'chief' in a combat unit" in Vietnam, which made him sad. This is known to con men everywhere as a "two-fer."

In addition to an absence of evidence about his Indian heritage, there is an absence of evidence that he was in combat in Vietnam. After the POW Network revealed that Churchill had never seen combat, he countered with this powerful argument: "They can say whatever the hell they want. That's confidential information, and I've never ordered its release from the Department of Defense. End of story." Maybe we should ask John Kerry to help Churchill fill out a form 180.

In one of his books, "Struggle for the Land," Churchill advances the argument that one-third of America is the legal property of Indians. And if you believe Churchill is a real Indian, he also happens to be part owner of the Brooklyn Bridge.

In his most famous oeuvre, the famed 9/11 essay calling the 9/11 World Trade Center victims "little Eichmanns," he said "Arab terrorists" — his quotes — had simply "responded to the massive and sustained American terror bombing of Iraq" by giving Americans "a tiny dose of their own medicine."

Having blurted out "Iraq" in connection with 9/11 in a moment of pique, Churchill had to backpedal when the anti-war movement needed to argue that Iraq had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Arab terrorism. He later attached an "Addendum" to the essay saying that the 9/11 attack was not only payback for Iraq, but also for various other of this country's depredations especially against "real Indians" (of which he is not one).

In light of the fact that Churchill's entire persona, political activism, curriculum vitae, writings and university positions are based on his claim that he's an Indian, it's rather churlish of him to complain when people ask if he really is one. But whenever he is questioned about his heritage, Churchill rails that inquiries into his ancestry are "absolutely indefensible."

Churchill has gone from claiming he is one-eighth Indian "on a good day" to claiming he is "three-sixteenths Cherokee," to claiming he is one-sixty-fourth Cherokee through a Revolutionary War era ancestor named Joshua Tyner. (At least he's not posing as a phony Indian math professor.) A recent investigation by The Denver Post revealed that Tyner's father was indeed married to a Cherokee. But that was only after Joshua's mother –- and Churchill's relative -– was scalped by Indians.

By now, all that's left of Churchill's claim to Indian ancestry is his assertion: "It is just something that was common knowledge in my family." (That, and his souvenir foam-rubber "tommyhawk" he bought at Turner Field in Atlanta.)

Over the years, there were other subtle clues the university might have noticed.

Churchill is not in the tribal registries kept since the 1800s by the federal government.

No tribe will enroll him –- a verification process Churchill dismisses as "poodle papers" for Indians.

In 1990, Churchill was forced to stop selling his art as "Indian art" under federal legislation sponsored by then-representative — and actual Indian! — Ben Nighthorse Campbell, that required Indian artists to establish that they are accepted members of a federally recognized tribe. Churchill responded by denouncing the Indian artist who had exposed him. (Hey, does anybody need 200 velvet paintings of Elvis playing poker with Crazy Horse?)

In the early '90s, he hoodwinked an impecunious Cherokee tribe into granting him an "associate membership" by telling them he "wrote some books and was a big-time author." A tribal spokeswoman explained: He "convinced us he could help our people." They never heard from him again — yet another treaty with the Indians broken by the white man. Soon thereafter, the tribe stopped offering "associate memberships."

A decade ago, Churchill was written up in an article in News From Indian Country, titled, "Sovereignty and Its Spokesmen: The Making of an Indian." The article noted that Churchill had claimed membership in a scrolling series of Indian tribes, but over "the course of two years, NFIC hasn't been able to confirm a single living Indian relative, let alone one real relative that can vouch for his tribal descent claim."

When real Indians complained to Colorado University in 1994 that a fake Indian was running their Indian Studies program, a spokeswoman for the CU president said the university needed "to determine if the position was designated for a Native American. And I can't answer that right now." Apparently it was answered in Churchill's favor since he's still teaching.

If he's not an Indian, it's not clear what Churchill does have to offer a university. In his book, "A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas, 1492 to the Present," Churchill denounces Jews for presuming to imagine the Holocaust was unique. In the chapter titled "Lie for Lie: Linkages between Holocaust Deniers and Proponents of the Uniqueness of the Jewish Experience in World War II," Churchill calls the Third Reich merely "a crystallization" of Christopher Columbus' ravages of his people (if he were an Indian).

His research apparently consisted of watching the Disney movie "Pocahontas," which showed that the Indians meant the European settlers no harm. (That's if you don't count the frequent scalpings.)

Even the credulous Nation magazine — always on red alert for tales of government oppression — dismissed Churchill's 1988 book "Agents of Repression" about Cointelpro-type operations against the American Indian Movement, saying the book "does not give much new information" and "even a reader who is inclined to believe their allegations will want more evidence than they provide." If The Nation won't buy your anti-U.S. government conspiracy theories, Kemosabe, it's probably time to pack up the old teepee and hit the trail of tears.

In response to the repeated complaints from Indians that a phony Indian was running CU's Indian Studies program, Churchill imperiously responded: "Guess what that means, guys? I'm not taking anyone's job, there wouldn't be an Indian Studies program if I wasn't coordinating it. ... They won't give you a job just because you have the paper." This white man of English and Swiss-German descent apparently believes there are no actual Indians deserving of his position at CU. (No wonder the Indians aren't crazy about him.)

As long as we're all agreed that there are some people who don't deserve jobs at universities, why isn't Churchill one of them?

Breaking News. Looks like the Comrade Ward is a plagerist, the biggest No-No in the world of acedemia. TSK, TSK now. But, then it worked for Senator Biden.

Yup. And as I recall Joe-the-Plagiarist also was charged with cheating on exams in college. Churchill didn't cheat because it seems Sangamon State University had no classes, no exams, no departments and everyone, including the administration, professors and students were anti-war radicals.

R. Alex Whitlock, Raw360 wrote:
...Sangamon State University, an upper-level (Jr. & Sr.) university in Illinois. It was a self-styled "radical university" that over time became the bland and indistinct University of Illinois at Springfield....In 1970 Sangamon State University, the smallest of Illinois' 12 state universities, was a different kind of place. Many students were not graded, for example, but received individualized evaluations instead. There were no large classes. No deans or department chairs--in fact, no departments....Sangamon State University

Lies about his heritage and his military service seem flagrant and his degrees seem to be little better than mail-order diplomas. And he's made a lot of money (probably more than a million) on that deceit. I say, fire him, let him sue and then let a jury decide. And if he loses, sue him to force a return of all the money he took from the people he deceived.

How about this little known charge??

CHURCHILL WARD LEROY C00796M 002627

Defendant: CHURCHILL WARD LEROY
1484 WICKLOW AV
BOULDER, CO 80303
OFFENSES: 18-9-109 INTERFERENCE AT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

Filing Date: 7/1/1996

Case Number: C00796M 002627

Filing Type: MISDEMEANOR

Status: CLOSED INAC

Close Date: 7/12/1996

Court: COUNTY COURT, BOULDER

County: BOULDER

State: COLORADO



Interference with Educational Institutions: It is illegal to willfully deny to students, employees, or visitors: lawful freedom of movement on institutional premises; lawful ingress or egress to facilities; and lawful use of the property or facilities of the institution. It is also illegal to impede faculty or staff at an institution in the performance of their duty or to impede a student of an institution in the lawful pursuit of his or her educational activities in any way. (18-9-109 C.R.S.)

Does anyone live in Colorado that can get a copy of this case??
I have been unable to find reference to it online but from the reading of the law he broke, he may have held a student or another professor against their will.
