X-FILES (@GuardianAus) @ 1501 HRS ON 28 MARCH 2024: "RAAF CHAPLAINCY
CULTURE A ‘WOLF PACK’, SAYS WHISTLEBLOWER WHO FOUGHT FOR YEARS TO CLEAR HIS
NAME:
<https://x.com/guardianaus/status/1773198722715004955>
A US marine who became a Catholic lay chaplain, Johns joined the Royal
Australian Air Force with his wife, Jean, in 2008 from Canada, where they
had also worked in military pastoral care. There they had advocated for
Canadian soldiers deployed in Afghanistan who believed they were being
ordered to ignore the alleged abuse of young boys by local men.
In 2010 he raised concerns within the RAAF about the alleged actions of a
fellow chaplain deployed in the Middle East. The allegations were examined
but he alleges key witnesses were not interviewed. He was never told the
result.
Johns then approached his federal MP, pressing for an inquiry into the
handling of his report.
The then defence minister, Stephen Smith, ordered an inquiry in 2011.
It found the handling “somewhat clumsy” but said the chaplaincy branch had
acted “in good faith”, afforded Johns procedural fairness and upheld
Defence policy. It made no criticism of Johns for his original report.
“On the contrary, it is clear that, as a result of you bringing these
allegations to light, more can be done to facilitate the complaints process
where a genuine concern about the behaviour of a chaplain is held,” the
report said.
Despite this, damaging rumours about him began to spread through the
chaplaincy.
In 2017 he wrote to the then defence force chief, Air Marshal Mark Binskin.
“Your account of the lack of support provided to you in the wake of
reporting the unacceptable behaviour is disappointing,” Binskin wrote in
reply, praising Johns’ integrity and calling him a highly regarded role
model.
Johns was assured his complaint about how he had been treated was being
investigated and he would be debriefed. Neither occurred. In 2018 he
complained about what he alleged was “intimidatory” correspondence from a
senior chaplain. An examination found against him.
Johns then wrote to Binskin’s successor, Gen Angus Campbell, who ordered
the inspector general of the Australian defence force to investigate his
treatment. Johns said its report endorsed his actions in raising his
original concerns. But he was prevented from revealing its contents.
“In October of 2020, I finally get all the answers to all my questions,”
Johns recounted. “I can’t say what they are, but … I was gobsmacked.”
Johns said the years of stress had tested, though not broken, his faith in
God. But it had destroyed his faith in military chaplains.
“I don’t trust chaplains,” he said. “I particularly don’t trust chaplains
who are in leadership – who wear rank. Categorically, I don’t.”
The former air force chaplain [had] fought for a decade to clear his name
after being obstructed and smeared for trying to report serious allegations
about a colleague’s behaviour has spoken out about his treatment for the
first time, describing the chaplaincy culture as a “wolf pack”.
Ahead of Thursday’s final hearing of the royal commission into defence and
veteran suicide, Joe Johns told Guardian Australia about his years-long
experience after he tried in 2010 to report allegations about another male
chaplain’s behaviour – particularly with women – on operations in the
Middle East.
Johns, who gave evidence to the royal commission in a private session, said
after he had tried to report alleged sexual harassment and irregular
behaviour, the chaplaincy closed ranks and turned on him, trashing his
reputation and seriously damaging his health. At least one other chaplain
outlined a similar experience to the royal commission.
“What makes this the most critical and most concerning is these are people
who are supposed to be the kindest, the best, the most ethical, the most
caring, the go-to people when you are in trouble,” Johns said this week.
“And they’re not. They’re a wolf pack.”

WOLF PACK?
There is an implicit BOER WAR MEMORIAL ANTAGONISM by ROMAN CATHOLICISM
directed towards the COMMONWEALTH (CAESAROPAPISM), given that EASTER SUNDAY
occurs between the TETRA / RANGE Sunday dates #21 - 22 MARCH through #28 -
ANZAC DAY: 25 APRIL (whereas PENTECOST SUNDAY as 49 days thereafter occurs
within Sunday ranges #31 - 10 MAY through #39 - 13 JUNE) within the
Gregorian calendar and may be the 81st through 115th day of common years or
82nd through 116th day of leap years.

Which ignores the historical precedents (ie. ROMAN CASE LAW BY DECREE OF
CAESAR CLAUDIUS DATED 10 NOVEMBER 41 AD: “… not be disrespectful of the
customs used in the ritual of their GOD, but let [the Jews] USE THEIR
CUSTOMS AS IN THE TIME OF THE GOD AUGUSTUS [#38, #71, #14], even as I
myself, after hearing both sides, have confirmed.”)
In Spring 44 AD, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, King Herod Agrippa I
had Peter arrested and imprisoned during such time such APOSTLE was still
observing JEWISH CUSTOMS of PASSOVER (1 to 5 APRIL #33 AD): "AND BECAUSE HE
SAW IT PLEASED THE JEWS, HE PROCEEDED FURTHER TO TAKE PETER ALSO. (THEN
WERE THE DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.)" [Acts 12:3 (KJV)]

REDUCTIO AD HITLERUM AS IDEA #110 - 16 JANUARY 1942: "[Dietrich] Eckart
introduced me to the Büchners: "This is my young friend, Herr *WOLF*."
Nobody could think of forming any connection between this person and that
crazy monster Adolf Hitler. Eckart was known at the boarding-house under
the name of Dr. Hoffmann. At midday he took me to the Türken inn, promising
me a genuine goulash. He was addressed there as "Herr Doktor", but I saw at
once that everybody knew his real identity." [pages 212]
Eckart was a participant in the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 and died
from a heart attack on 26 December of that year, shortly after his release
from Landsberg Prison. He was elevated to the status of a major thinker
upon the establishment of Nazi Germany in 1933. He was acknowledged by
Hitler to be the spiritual co-founder of Nazism and "a guiding light of the
early National Socialist movement."

Whilst the news of the week has been AFL recreational drug testing rorts

Such pales into insignificance concerning the 90 years of sycophantic lip

Speaking of an implied affable avoidance of injury: "In his first public
message since his cancer diagnosis, King Charles III reaffirmed his
Coronation pledge “not to be served but to serve”, and called on people to
“prioritise care and friendship”. [courtesy: Sky News]

Post by David DaltonEaster Blessings to any readers.
My last attempt failed again and I am trying again starting at
2010 UTC March 28, 2024, which is Holy Thursday, also
known as Maundy Thursday. I didn’t really want or expect
any correlation with an existing religious holiday, but I guess
since Jesus is one of my minor deities and since I was
initiated as a Catholic (but am now pagan) and since my
parents were devout Catholics, a correlation with Easter
would not be unwelcome. But I still think I may have to
wait until the total solar eclipse (which maybe Sarah McLachlan
could visit here to see; we are not far off the path of
totality), or even until on or about September 5, 2024
(three sunspot cycles after my sun stare) or on or about
January 29, 2025 (seven years plus two sunspot cycles
after my low years started, and which is a a new moon
and Chinese new year at the end of my Dragon year).
I was hoping to go hear Mick Davis at The Black Sheep
on George tonight from 9 p.m. to midnight but if I am
caught up tracking this new attempt I doubt I will go.
(He is the lead singer of The Novaks and of
Mick Davis and the Skinny Jims but plays solo
on Thursday nights, and tonight should be well
attended since Good Friday is a holiday).
