For years, I’ve shared names of former soldiers implicated in atrocities with the Pentagon. It’s shown no interest in punishment until Mark Kelly dissed Trump.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took the unusual step last month of threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., to active duty to possibly face court-martial, after the retired Navy captain reminded service members in a social media video that it is their duty to disobey illegal orders. President Donald Trump suggested Kelly ought to be killed for his viral video, then seemed to call for him to be imprisoned.

The review of Kelly’s comments has since blossomed into a full-scale inquiry. “Retired Captain Kelly is currently under investigation for serious allegations of misconduct,” a War Department spokesperson told me.

Kelly issued a statement after Hegseth’s office announced it was escalating its case. “It wasn’t enough for Donald Trump to say I should be hanged, which prompted death threats against me and my family. It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to announce a sham investigation on social media. Now they are threatening everything I fought for and served for over 25 years in the U.S. Navy, all because I repeated something every service member is taught,” said Kelly. “It should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American that this President and Secretary of Defense would so corruptly abuse their power to come after me or anyone this way.”

What most surprised me was Hegseth’s apparent willingness to recall a former member of the military for punishment.

That Hegseth is targeting a sitting senator is all but unheard of. But what most surprised me was his apparent willingness to recall a former member of the military for punishment. I was shocked because, for two decades, the Pentagon has failed to respond to questions about the potential recall of veterans accused of heinous illegality by Army investigators.

In the mid-2000s, I provided the Pentagon with the names of dozens of former service members implicated in crimes against civilians and prisoners during the Vietnam War: massacres, murders, assaults, and other atrocities. The Defense Department never recalled any to active duty. Years later, a defense official laughed when I asked if anyone even looked at the spreadsheet of names that I provided. In the wake of Hegseth’s threats against Kelly, I again asked his office if they want that list.

While working for the Los Angeles Times, I helped expose 320 atrocities that were substantiated by Army investigators, including seven mass killings from the 1960s and 1970s, in which at least 137 civilians died. This tally does not include the 1968 My Lai massacre during which U.S. troops slaughtered more than 500 Vietnamese civilians. The records chronicled 78 other attacks on noncombatants in which at least 57 were killed, 56 wounded, and 15 sexually assaulted; and 141 instances in which U.S. troops tortured civilian detainees or prisoners of war.

Murder, torture, rape, abuse, forced displacement, home burnings, specious arrests, and imprisonment without due process were a daily fact of life throughout the years of the American war in Vietnam. But the great majority of atrocities by U.S. troops never came to light — and almost never resulted in criminal investigations, much less courts-martial. These records — compiled in the early 1970s by a secret Pentagon task force known as the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group — represent some of the exceedingly rare instances that resulted in official inquiries.

Army criminal investigators determined that evidence against more than 200 soldiers accused of harming Vietnamese civilians or prisoners was strong enough to warrant charges, according to the records. These “founded” cases were referred to the soldiers’ superior officers for action. Ultimately, 57 of them were court-martialed, and just 23 were convicted.

Fourteen soldiers received prison sentences ranging from six months to 20 years, but most won significant reductions on appeal. The stiffest sentence went to a military intelligence interrogator convicted of committing indecent acts against a 13-year-old girl held in detention. He served seven months of a 20-year term, according to the files. Many substantiated cases were closed with a letter of reprimand, a fine, or, in more than half the cases, no action at all.

In the early 2000s, many veterans who had escaped justice were still alive, including members of Company B of the 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division. That unit committed a litany of atrocities, culminating in a massacre in a tiny hamlet in South Vietnam.

The Vietnam War Is Still Killing People, 50 Years Later

On February 8, 1968, a medic, Jamie Henry, sat down to rest in a Vietnamese home, where he was joined by a radioman. On the radio, he heard 3rd Platoon leader Lt. Johnny Mack Carter report to Capt. Donald Reh that he had rounded up 19 civilians. Carter wanted to know what should be done with them. As Henry later told an army investigator: “The Captain asked him if he remembered the Op Order [Operation Order] that had come down from higher [command] that morning which was to kill anything that moves. The Captain repeated the order. He said that higher said to kill anything that moves.”

Hoping to intervene, Henry headed for Reh’s position. As he neared it, though, the young medic saw members of the unit drag a naked teenage girl out of a house and throw her into the throng of civilians, who had been gathered together in a group. Then, Henry said, four or five men around the civilians “opened fire and shot them. There was a lot of flesh and blood going around because the velocity of an M-16 at that close range does a lot of damage.”

Henry repeatedly reported the massacre, at peril to himself, and spent years attempting to expose the atrocities. Army investigators looked into the allegations for more than three years before closing the case and burying the files. They determined that evidence supported murder charges in five incidents against nine “subjects,” including Carter. Investigators concluded that there was not enough evidence to charge Reh with murder, because of conflicting accounts “as to the actual language” he used in giving the orders. But Reh could be charged with dereliction of duty for failing to investigate the killings, the report said. The military did not court-martial any members of the unit — either in the 1970s or the 2000s. Some are still alive today and could, theoretically, face some modicum of justice.

Hegseth has been on the hot seat since major media outlets picked up on The Intercept’s reporting of a double-tap strike that executed survivors of an attack on a supposed drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean in September. Military legal experts, lawmakers, and confidential sources within the government who spoke with The Intercept say Hegseth’s actions could result in the entire chain of command being investigated for a war crime or outright murder.

Hegseth said Kelly’s “conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.” I asked Hegseth’s office if the crimes detailed in the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group’s files also brought “discredit upon the armed forces.” A spokesperson acknowledged that and other questions but offered no answers.

“Nick, we received your earlier message and haven’t forgotten about you,” she said last month. “Our response time is going to be delayed due to the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.” That response has, weeks later, still yet to arrive.

Hegseth has previously derided “academic rules of engagement which have been tying the hands of our warfighters for too long,” and, during President Donald Trump’s first term — before he became the Pentagon chief — successfully lobbied for pardons on behalf of soldiers convicted of crimes against noncombatants.

“This just shows their total distain for the rule of law,” Todd Huntley, who was an active-duty judge advocate for more than 23 years, serving as a legal adviser to Special Operations forces, said of Hegseth and Trump. “They view the law as a political tool to support their positions and help them get what they want.”

“They view the law as a political tool to support their positions and help them get what they want.”

Hegseth took his post focusing on lethality at all costs, while gutting programs designed to protect civilians and firing the Air Force’s and Army’s top judge advocates general, or JAGs, in February to avoid “roadblocks to orders that are given by a commander in chief.” Military operations under Hegseth have since killed civilians from Yemen to the Caribbean Sea.

The Former JAGs Working Group — an organization made up of former and retired military judge advocates which was founded in February — issued a statement condemning Hegseth’s order and the execution of it “to constitute war crimes, murder, or both.” The group also called out the war secretary for targeting Kelly. “The administration’s retaliation against Senator Kelly violates military law. We are confident the unlawful influence reflected in the press reports will ultimately disqualify all convening authorities except possibly the president himself from actually referring any case to a court-martial,” they wrote in a statement provided to The Intercept.

Huntley said the War Department wasn’t following its typical investigative process in its case against Kelly.

“There was no way that was unlawful. It doesn’t even come close to undermining good order and discipline of the military,” said Huntley. “Under normal circumstances, an investigating officer would be appointed. They’d look into it and then the report would come back, it would be reviewed by a JAG, and it would say there was nothing unlawful, no charges warranted. But these aren’t normal times.”

Huntley also noted that Kelly’s video was likely to sow confusion among low-ranking enlisted personnel and officers concerning determinations about whether an order is lawful.

Huntley clarified that the Pentagon doesn’t have to bring Kelly back to active duty to charge him under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. “All that’s required is that you get permission of the service secretary. In this case, I’m guessing that Hegseth himself could probably give permission to do that,” he explained. When I asked why the War Department would have announced that it might recall Kelly despite not needing to do so, Huntley had a simple assessment: “Because they don’t know what the law is.”

Hegseth’s office and Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson failed to reply to repeated questions about the Vietnam-era personnel who might still be sanctioned for their crimes against Vietnamese civilians, as well as questions about the jeopardy troops today might be in for following Hegseth’s orders.

A Pentagon spokesperson also seemed to foreclose the release of additional information concerning the War Department’s persecution of Kelly. “Further official comments will be limited to preserve the integrity of the proceedings,” she said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before major eruptions, volcanoes may emit harmonic tremors. Lasting for hours or days, they are signals that pressure is building. A similar phenomenon is simmering in your sphere, Aries. Be alert. What rhythmic clues are vibrating through your system? What pressure is mounting that could eventually erupt? I’m not saying you should interpret them with a worried mind. In fact, they are offering you valuable intelligence about what needs to be released. You can either ignore them and let the eruption surprise you, or you can pay attention and arrange for controlled venting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your heartbeat isn’t regular like a metronome, but slightly irregular. The phenomenon is called heart-rate variability and is a sign of health. A perfectly regular heartbeat is actually a warning sign. Your heart knows something your mind might not believe: Perfect consistency is pathological. Variation is vitality. The rhythm of life includes the beautiful irregularity of a system that’s alive enough to respond and adapt. Keep these truths uppermost in mind during 2026, Taurus. You will thrive on changeability and fluctuation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Greenland shark waits for animals to fall asleep, then eats them while they’re unconscious. Since it’s too slow to chase anything, it has evolved a patient approach to hunting. It acts on the understanding that everything eventually lets its guard down. I suggest you cultivate similar patience in 2026, Gemini. There’s no need to rush toward what you want. Position yourself correctly and wait for moments of opportunity. You’re playing a long game.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Atmospheric rivers are massive moisture highways in the sky. Meteorologists have been documenting newly identified patterns in how these marvels work. They’ve learned that tiny changes in ocean temperature can redirect thousands of miles of incoming rain. This will be an excellent metaphor for you in 2026, dear Cancerian. You’ll be in atmospheric-river mode. Small shifts in perspective and slight recalibrations of intention will send your momentum flowing in different and better directions. No drama required! Simple micro-adjustments will reroute larger currents. Attend devotedly and zestfully to the subtleties.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Certain fungi can break down pollutants like pesticides and plastics into less toxic substances. These mushrooms digest what’s considered indigestible, transforming poison into nutrients. I suspect you will have a metaphorically comparable capacity in 2026, dear Leo: a superpower that enables you to metabolize blight and taint. I predict you will exult as you eliminate stuff that’s useless and harmful. Please indulge your unusual talent to the max!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The U.S. Library of Congress adds 60,000 items to its collection every week but only catalogs a fraction of them immediately. So vast amounts of knowledge sit there, acquired but not yet processed, waiting for librarians to create the finding aids that make them accessible. You’re in a similar situation, Virgo. You’ve accumulated extraordinary amounts of information, experience and skill. But how much of it is cataloged? How much is accessible when you need it? In the coming months, I hope you won’t acquire more. Instead, you will spend time with your archives and process what you have already gathered. What do you know that you’ve forgotten you know? What experiences hold wisdom you’ve never extracted?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Vault doors often require two keys, turned simultaneously, to open. Why? Such a practice furthers risk reduction and fraud prevention. Let’s make this a potent metaphor for you in 2026, Libra. It will symbolize cooperation and balance as well as an enhancement of your security. The treasures you’ll be trying to access will require dual input. One key is yours: intellect, agility, charm, initiative. The second must come from a collaborator, mentor, friend, an unexpected stranger, or even a spirit guide. Just assume that the vault won’t open through brilliance alone. It will require synchronization.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In December 1968, U.S. astronaut Bill Anders was orbiting the moon inside the Apollo 8 spacecraft. He snapped a photo that showed the Earth as a blue-and-white sphere rising over the gray lunar surface against the blackness of space. This iconic image helped fuel the environmental movement and transformed how humans visualized their home. You’re at a comparable pivot, Scorpio. In 2026, you will see familiar situations from new angles, and this will reorganize your understanding of how life works. That’s a good thing! Be alert for watershed moments that bring revolutionary blessings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is made of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed when ancient lava cooled and contracted. Legend says a giant built it as a bridge to Scotland. Both stories are true, one geologically and the other mythologically. Your life in the coming months will remind you that multiple explanations can coexist without canceling each other. The scientific story of lava cooling doesn’t make the giant story less meaningful. The giant story doesn’t make the geology less accurate. Conclusion: You don’t have to choose between competing narratives about your life as if only one can be true. What if both are? The practical explanation and mythic explanation describe the same phenomenon from different angles. You can be both the cooling lava and the giant building the bridge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He helped ensure its core technologies were released to the world without patents or royalties. Universal, open access mattered more to him than personal profit. That single decision was a profound gift to the world. Billions benefited. In his generous spirit, dear Capricorn, I’ll ask whether there are any ideas, knowledge or resources you’re holding in reserve that could multiply through sharing. In 2026, I invite you to be like Berners-Lee: a magnanimous strategist who understands that things may gain value through distribution, not restriction. Your intelligence will be worth more unleashed than protected. Your innovations will need the crowd to fulfill their purpose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the myths of Mali’s Dogon people, Nommo is an amphibious, telepathic being who brought language, rhythm and balance to Earth—and then departed. If things fall out of harmony, it’s believed, Nommo will return, speaking the lost syllables that realign the cosmos. You’re a bit like Nommo these days, Aquarius. Parts of your world may be in disarray, and your sacred task is to listen for the lost syllables. What’s missing in the dialogue? What notes aren’t being sung? If you seek gently and speak truly, restoration will follow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The longest chess game theoretically possible is 5,949 moves, but most games end in under forty. Chess masters don’t win by seeing every possibility. Instead, they recognize patterns and anticipate which paths are worth exploring. Let’s apply this as a useful metaphor, Pisces. In 2016, it’s crucial that you don’t waste energy by considering improbable scenarios that will never materialize. You should be determined not to miss emerging themes because you’re too busy calculating unlikely variations. According to my prognosis, you don’t need to see further; you need to see more precisely and accurately. The chess master’s advantage isn’t exhaustive analysis; it’s knowing what to ignore. Ninety percent of your options don’t matter. Ten percent do.

“Dig deep where you are. Don’t slip off elsewhere. Double, triple bottom to things,” 

— from Robert Bresson’s, Notes on Cinematography. 

Robert Bresson (September 25, 1901 – December 18, 1999) was a French filmmaker. Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson made a notable contribution to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film. Wikipedia

• Google AI Overview

The terms implicate, explicate, and super-implicate refer to physicist David Bohm‘s model of reality, where the explicate order is our familiar world of separate objects and events (unfolded), the implicate order is a deeper, enfolded reality where everything is interconnected (like information in a hologram), and the super-implicate is an even deeper, more fundamental level of this enfolded whole, suggesting infinite nested layers of reality, all interconnected through a process called the holomovement. 

The Orders Explained

• Explicate Order (Unfolded):
  • This is the world we perceive with our senses and classical physics describes: distinct, separate objects, locations in space, and sequences in time (e.g., a table, a planet, you).
  • It’s the “unfolded” manifestation of deeper patterns.
• Implicate Order (Enfolded):
  • A deeper, more fundamental level where everything is interconnected and “enfolded” into a single, undivided whole (the “holomovement”).
  • Information about the entire universe is contained within every point, much like a hologram.
  • Our perceived reality (explicate) arises from and enfolds back into this deeper order.
• Super-Implicate & Beyond:
  • Bohm proposed that reality isn’t just two layers but potentially infinite, with the super-implicate being a level even more subtle and general than the implicate order.
  • These layers represent increasing levels of wholeness and abstraction, with the ultimate reality being the totality of all implicate orders. 

Analogy: The Droplet

Imagine a drop of ink in a viscous fluid. When the fluid is stirred one way, the drop stretches into an invisible thread (implicate order). When stirred the other way, the thread reforms the original drop (explicate order), showing how the whole (implicate) contains the parts (explicate). 

Key Idea

Everything in the explicate order is a temporary, localized manifestation of the deeper, unbroken wholeness of the implicate order, which itself is part of even deeper, super-implicate structures.

Richard Rudd’s “Gene Keys” is a system of personal transformation, presented in his book The Gene Keys, that synthesizes astrology, the I Ching, and genetics to explore human consciousness through 64 archetypes, guiding individuals to unlock their potential by contemplating “Shadows” (negative patterns), “Gifts” (creative strengths), and “Siddhis” (divine manifestations) within their Hologenetic Profile, a personalized chart derived from birth data. It’s a journey of self-discovery focused on contemplation, presence, and embracing one’s unique essence for a more fulfilling life. 

Core Concepts:

• The 64 Gene Keys: Representing human archetypes, similar to the I Ching’s hexagrams, each with three frequency levels.
• Shadows: Lower frequencies, representing fear-based patterns (e.g., Immaturity).
• Gifts: Higher frequencies, representing inherent creative genius (e.g., Expansion).
• Siddhis: The highest frequency, representing divine manifestations (e.g., Superabundance).
• Hologenetic Profile: A personalized chart generated from your birth date, time, and place, revealing your specific Gene Keys and their pathways.
• The Golden Path: A contemplative journey through your profile, focusing on embodying your gifts and realizing your higher purpose. 

How It Works (The Process):

1. Generate Your Profile: Get a free Hologenetic Profile from the Gene Keys website using your birth details.
2. Contemplate Your Keys: Engage with the themes (Shadow, Gift, Siddhi) of your specific Gene Keys through gentle self-inquiry, rather than intellectual striving.
3. Embrace Presence: Focus on being fully present in each moment, transforming patterns through awareness, which leads to inner peace and fulfillment. 

Key Takeaway: The Gene Keys system encourages a life of deep presence, self-acceptance, and unlocking inherent potential by understanding and embracing the different frequencies of your own DNA and consciousness, a process guided by poet Richard Rudd’s teachings. 

Richard Rudd (born 1967) is a visionary teacher, award-winning poet, and the founder of the Gene Keys—an acclaimed system of personal transformation that blends ancient wisdom with modern insight. Richard’s teachings have inspired a global community and continue to guide people toward deeper self-wareness. genekeys.com Google Books

Yes, many popes and kings throughout history had astrologers as part of their courts and councils, particularly during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance when astrology was considered a respected “science” or natural philosophy. 

Astrology was not universally banned by the Christian Church during these periods but was often differentiated into acceptable and problematic forms: 

• Natural Astrology (predicting weather, agricultural cycles, or medical needs like blood-letting based on celestial movements) was widely accepted and integrated into academic subjects.
• Judicial Astrology (predicting specific individual human fates or political events, which seemed to undermine the concept of free will and divine control) was sometimes officially opposed or considered controversial, though widely practiced in private. 

Notable Examples

• Popes: Several popes in the 16th century, including Julius II, Leo X, Adrian IV, and Paul III, viewed astrology favorably and consulted with astrologers. Even Pope Gregory XIII, who was mistrustful of it, had his natal chart cast and preserved in the Vatican Library. The founding of St. Peter’s Basilica itself has been linked to astrological considerations for an auspicious time to begin construction.
• Kings and Royalty: Monarchs frequently employed court astrologers to advise on important matters.
  • Queen Elizabeth I of England referred to her astrologer and mathematician, John Dee, as “my philosopher” and commissioned a horoscope for her coronation date to ensure an auspicious reign.
  • Catherine de’ Medici, the regent of France, was said to have relied heavily on her astrologers, including the famous Michel de Nostradamus.
  • King Henri II of France’s death in a tournament was famously predicted by Nostradamus and the Italian astrologer Luca Gaurico.
  • Frederick II and Rudolph II, Holy Roman Emperors, employed the renowned astronomer Tycho Brahe, who provided them with horoscopes, predictions, and annual astrological almanacs. 

Astrology was a powerful tool in political and personal life, and its practitioners were respected figures, often highly educated in mathematics and astronomy.

He is a poet, a visual artist, and also author of The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit Our Times, Lines for Spiritual Evolution. In addition, he has written two dystopian novels – Blue Lies September  and Ireland I Don’t Recognize Who She Is. He discusses various elements of society that are antagonistic to mysticism. He notes that the objectivist philosophy of Ayn Rand, while antagonistic to religion, and therefore mysticism, ought not to be – since it emphasizes individual freedom. However, objectivism has strong rationalistic and scientistic elements that tend to view mysticism as a dangerous superstition. Similarly, psychiatry also tends to confuse mysticism with psychopathology.
