The Department of Defense has compelled a private employer to fire a U.S. Army Reserve major from his civilian job after he had his military deployment orders revoked for arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.
According to the CEO of Simtech Inc., a private company contracted by the Defense Security Services, an agency of the Department of Defense, the federal agency has compelled the termination of Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook.
Cook's attorney, Orly Taitz, wrote in her blog that Simtech CEO Larry Grice said he would try to find another position within the company for Cook, but nothing is currently available.
The Department of Defense does contracting in the general field of information technology/systems integration, at which Cook, a senior systems engineer and architect, was employed until taking a military leave of absence on July 10 in preparation for his deployment to Afghanistan.
"Grice told Plaintiff, in essence, that the situation had become 'nutty and crazy,' and that plaintiff would no longer be able to work at his old position," Taitz wrote.
Grice made clear that it was Defense Security Services that had compelled Simtech to fire Cook.
According to the report, Grice told Cook "there was some gossip that 'people were disappointed in' the plaintiff because they thought he was manipulating his deployment orders to create a platform for political purposes."
The Simtech CEO then discussed Cook's expectation of final paychecks, without any severance pay, and wished the soldier well.

This is surely a Security Clearance issue.
There are laws protecting whistleblowers from government retalliation. All this might irk the judge into moving forward against Obama. He’s a marine in a previous lifetime.
It would help if there were politicians who demanded the protection of whistleblowers as well. We have none of those these days.
I was once scolded by the “We’re above that” group for referring to NOBAMA as der FUHRER.
It now appears I was Correct and will go back to doing so.
HEIL FUHRER OBAMA!
So do I. I think he should have resigned his commision first.
overhere!
This will get very messy before our side wins.
I guess we all know what happens after legal recourse?
"should" is the operative word.
We are now officially in a tyranny.
I wrote earlier today that those who thought it was a victory when his orders to deploy were revoked are extremely naive.
The Department of Defense can not and should not tolerate this type of behavior. Regardless of who the POTUS is, it is astonishing and disturbing here that people here are tolerating mutiny of our military.
WE ARE FIGHTING A WAR AGAINST TERRORISTS IN AFGHANISTAN, REMEMBER FOLKS?
Which is precisely why we should be focusing on the snake in our foxhole before we try to service the 300 meter target.
He stepped up to ask a simple question - were is the mutiny part?
Sick sick bastards.
Did you ever serve in the military? It is a part of our DUTY to this country and to the constitution to REFUSE illegal and unlawful orders. If President Obama orders you to kill unarmed civilians, are you supposed to follows blindly?
If he is illegally filling the White House, by usurping the Constitution, then his orders were ILLEGAL and it is his duty to refuse those orders.
With regard to "windmill tilting," let's the consider the timeline:
Feb. 1 - Cook voluntarily joined Taitz’ Class Action Suit (per a posting of his letter to Taitz on FR)
May 8 - Cook volunteers for deployment
June 9 - Cook gets order to deploy to Afghanistan on July 15
July 10 - Taitz files a TRO for Cook
July 14 - Cook's orders (which he could have cancelled himself at any time up to July 15) are cancelled by U.S. Army Human Resources Command.
Why did Cook volunteer for deployment, after signing on to Taitz' class action suit?
Yes. You are correct. I worked for a large information systems DoD contractor after I retired. I was somewhat amazed at the leverage the government. In some contracts, they actually approved who was on a project.
I believe that in this Major’s case, he burned that bridge, and now “miraculously” there is no other position for him with the contractor.
This doesn’t surprise me. Happens often in the DoD contracting world.
What goes around, comes around. Maybe obama will be fired when it’s proven that he’s not eligible to serve as president.
They don’t. They didn’t when Clinton did it either.
Not true. I worked on several DoD contracts where the “people list” had to be approved by the government project officer for that contract.
