Senate Denies General Officer Promotion[edit]
Would Your News Agency be interested in a story about the U.S. Senate denying a general officer a promotion from one star to two stars based on a Department of the Army (DA) Inspector General (IG) investigation in Wiesbaden, Germany, if there is a cover-up?
Hi— I'm contacting your news agency because I've tried to provide this story to larger news organizations and I believe their postal mail, email, and text messages are being censored. A similar story about a Navy admiral took years to get in the news, so I'm not terribly worried. The basic story will eventually break (basic story: In 2016 the U.S. Senate denied a general officer a promotion based on an IG investigation and, wow, is U.S. Army Europe/USAREUR still doing a lot to cover it up). I used to work in Wiesbaden, and I was there when the general had his promotion denied. I sat in a session in which civilian employees were essentially asked if they were being forced to do things they didn't want to do, and I am fairly certain that's how the DA IG investigation report will read – once we get our hands on it (I've been trying to break this story for the past two years). If you can obtain a copy of the DA IG report, please post a PDF copy of the report online along with the story when you break it. I can expand on the story once it hits AP newswires. I'm sure it will be redacted, but I can fill in a lot of the blanks. Feel free to call U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) Public Affairs Office (PAO) at this number: +49-611-143-537-0005 or 0006 Outside Germany, add your country's International Direct Dialing code plus "49" before the desired number. It's usually 011, but some telephone carriers have different ones; so, normally dial the whole number like this: 011-49-611-143-537-0005 or 0006 Keep in mind that anything the USAREUR PAO says may be part of a cover-up. For instance, if they don't confirm the basic story, they are perpetuating a cover-up that's been ongoing since 2016. For some reason they really, really, really do not want the DA IG report to get in the news. Don't know if this is Pulitzer-level stuff, but it might be.
Current Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request status and how-to: If you would like to be the first news agency to break the story:
- Email the DA IG FOIA Office here: usarmy.pentagon.hqda-otig.mbx.saig-zxl@mail.mil
- Ask for a copy of the "calendar year 2016 IG investigation report that caused the United States Senate to deny promotion to major general officer rank (O-8) for the Deputy Chief of Staff for U.S. Army Europe, headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany (DA IG FOIA Records Release Office knows the name of the general officer, because I emailed them the name).
- An alternate method to obtain the IG report would be to re-initiate the FOIA request by going here and using a Department of Defense (DOD) IG FOIA account to request the report: https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/foia/action/public/home
- I initially requested the Wiesbaden report through DOD IG FOIA, and they responded by re-directing me to the DA IG FOIA Office. That's how I know the report is at DA.
I'll contact your news agency to talk about the cover-up after the basic story finally gets in the news. -- The reason I'm asking for assistance in obtaining the IG report is because I believe my FOIA requests have been blocked as part of the cover-up. Whoever you talk to can say whatever they want, but the key to this story is the DA IG report. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:9BD8:C141:81E1:A85E:A969:7ECD (talk) 20:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Those old news briefs[edit]
I remember back in the 1980s when ABC ran news briefs during breaks from programming. There was even a sports brief (done by Dick Schapp) and a business brief. These briefs always had me associate ABC News with the 1980s. And also, what about the old Weekend Report? If you don't believe the importance of mentioning ABC's prior use of briefs, how come briefs are mentioned in the CBS News article? SOMEONE PLEASE GET THE FACTS AND POST ABOUT THIS UNFORGETTABLE SEGMENT OF ABC NEWS. -Amit

ABC News → ABC News (United States) – disambiguate from ABC News in Australia. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:06, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). TonyBallioni (talk) 17:09, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Mvcg66b3r: this should be discussed. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:09, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This has been proposed and rejected before multiple times, and the nominator this time offers no new argument, so it is not plausible that consensus has changed. PS: PRIMARYTOPIC doesn't mean primacy in some kind of US vs. Australia way, but the vast majority of sources that refer to "ABC News" without being more specific are referring to the US one. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 18:44, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per SMcCandlish. Georgia guy (talk) 19:32, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per SmcCandlish. This is clearly the primary topic. Corky Buzz by the Hornet's Nest 19:58, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Google brings up pages and pages of the US ABC News first, even on Google.com.au. Spshu (talk) 20:14, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
