John Gidduck

Attention all Police Officer, Military personnel and anyone interested in John Giduck's background!

John Giduck represents himself to be an expert in all things Crisis and Terrorism related.  His credentials however, keep changing depending on the day and which way the wind is blowing (When claims are proven to be false his and other web pages mysteriously change).

He recently decided to intimidate and bully former and current United States Special Forces personnel of all branches, after some of them 'dared' to question his tactics and credentials (Socnet.com happens to be their website of choice).  First he answered these questions by proxy (folks that are on his payroll, were on his payroll or have a financial interest in his well being).  After that did not fly his answers was to the threat of lawsuit.

This time however, these honorable men and women are taking a stand and will NOT let him get away with his deceit any longer.  Please look at the posts and links below and come to your OWN conclusion on WHO John Giduck REALLY is!!

Here is a summary of his actions so far for easy reference....
