Family and household issues have kept me away from writing for the past two weeks, but I was able to read enough news to notice the continuing wave of faux-truther propaganda coming out of Veterans Today (VT). Having noticed a number of shady things about that group over the years, I figure it’s about time to take their inventory. And to begin, I thought we’d have a look at VT’s Senior Editor, Gordon Duff…

With a little research on the Internet Archive, I was able to determine that Duff became an officially listed VT staff writer sometime between October 13, 2007 and December 19, 2007, and he went on to be the officially listed senior editor sometime between August 19, 2009 and October 19, 2009. And by studying how his official biography morphed over time, I was able to get a good feel for what the guy is really about.

This was the first archived version of his bio…

…in which he established these credentials:

> he was a former Marine grunt in Vietnam,

> he was/is a UN diplomat,
> he was/is a defense contractor,
> he was/is a “widely published expert” on military and defense issues,
> he was/is active in the financial industry,
> he holds “senior positions in several major banks” in the area of oil and gas, commodity, bond, and currency related issues,
> and he has done all this despite being a 100% DISABLED vet.

As the 24/7 caregiver of a 100% disabled person, I found his level of achievement quite “remarkable” to say the least, so I looked through the Veterans Administration website to see what qualifies a person to be a 100% disabled vet. Though the process of determining the level of disability is somewhat subjective, two key criteria kept showing up:

1) the inability to perform one or more essential life functions, and
2) the inability to work.

So if a vet’s service-related injury resulted in him/her being completely unable to work in any capacity, he/she would be considered 100% disabled. Keep this “inability to work” criterion in mind as you view everything else the “amazing” Gordon Duff has achieved.

In the second archived version of his bio…

…this is added:

> he is a specialist on global trade (what isn’t he a specialist on?), and
> he acts as a political and economic advisor to a number of governments in Africa and the Middle East.

In the third version…

…this is tacked on:

> he was/is working on economic development projects in Pakistan and Afghanistan to counter the effects of poverty and global extremism.
