SC: OK, it was just really funny when I first found the site and that was the only thing on it, I was like: ‘what the hell is this guy doing?’ When I first found the site I couldn’t believe it was for real because it was so ridiculous, I couldn’t actually believe it when I checked it out again and you were over there.
S: Well honestly, I was glad you found the website before major media did because you know, I had a lot of crazy stuff on there like recruiting an Asian female for my team…
SC: Yeah that was one of my favourite parts of the original site….
S: Yeah…so when you put that stuff out there people are gonna start to nitpick every little thing you’re saying, so I’m glad you pointed out the absurdity of it so I could clean it up a little bit, although I do think having a hot female Asian martial arts expert would be awesome.
SC: Well yeah, it would be awesome but is it that realistic? Have you got one yet?
S: No, but I’m going to South East Asia.
SC: Well there should be a few of them over there. Definitely.
S: Well yeah but it takes a certain breed of chick who’s going to be willing to go hunt terrorists, I mean she’s gotta be badass. I don’t know too many girls like that, but I’d imagine there’s some out there. Somewhere.
SC: Fingers crossed. So when you first started the site did you call yourself Sarge essentially to protect your identity?
S: Well yeah, I was trying to keep my identity a secret. As for Sarge, I was a sergeant in the US army and I was in a movie and my characters name was Sarge so it made sense to call myself Sarge you know?
SC: Oh cool, what movie was it? Was it big?
S: Well no, it was called Special Ops. You can find it on Itunes and stuff.
SC: Cool, maybe I’ll check it out.
S: I wasn’t too amazed by the movie but I mean, I was just an actor in it; I didn’t produce it, write it or direct it but I was happy with what I did.
SC: OK cool. So are you planning to film the rest of your hunts on your cameras?
S: Absolutely yeah. I think it’s important to document everything, you know? I want to keep the site somewhat interactive and I want people to be able to see what I’m doing so I think I’ m going to put video testimonials on and kind of get a daily diary of what I’m doing up there to keep people aware as opposed to just letting the media write articles and do interviews or whatever, I’m putting myself out there and this is what I’m doing and people can see that for themselves.
SC: OK well I think that’s it, except for one final question: Do you think that your blog and what you were doing had any actual impact on the US government finally finding bin Laden?
S: Well I mean it’s hard to say man, because I’ve got a family member who’s very powerful. Very powerful, I can’t really go into too many details but sometimes I do wonder what connection there is between what I’m doing and what I see on the news because I know this – coming from the family member, the one I’m talking about – that quite often the story you see in terms of international incidents is nowhere near what actually happened.
SC: Yeah, I can believe that.
S: And the fact that bin Laden was killed on my 30th birthday, two weeks before I was supposed to go back there….I mean, I can’t say for sure that my connection, my family member, had anything to do with this or if I was a factor in this at all, but it’s pretty peculiar. It’s like a coincidence…
SC: Yeah the 30th birthday thing, that’s weird.
S: Yeah it’s crazy. The last thing I was expecting man.
SC: Well yeah, probably the last thing anyone was expecting.
S: I thought it was a joke. I mean I truly thought it was a joke, because we were having a party on my roof…
SC: Well yeah it’s your birthday right, gotta have a party.
S: Yeah my birthday party, and everyone in my building they knew that I was actively hunting bin Laden, and then I get this phone call saying ‘you know what? We just killed the guy’ and I thought ‘dude, you’re bullshitting me, this is a joke’ but no, it really happened. I don’t know what to make of it but it’s a hell of a coincidence. It’s there.
SC: It happened man. I guess you’ll never know. Another American conspiracy.
S: (laughs) Yeah I mean I don’t know. In England are they a little bit more inclined to have a conspiracy theory behind what’s going on?
SC: Yeah I think a lot of people over here are pretty suspicious. I think a lot of people think that he was dead ages ago, which is why they didn’t release a body, and it’s just been conveniently released now when Obama’s running again and trying to push that stuff about his birth certificate under the rug…
S: Yeah that didn’t appear to be too legitimate. So yeah, it makes you wonder. What’s the reason for all this happening right now? I don’t know. I mean in America, if you start saying stuff like this you’re instantly branded as a nutjob basically.
SC: Oh really? That’s kind of weird.
S: I mean it’s going to be growing I guess, like anything. Like 9/11, there are people that think there were conspiracies behind that but the mainstream media pretty much controls the perception of the vast majority of the public over here, so if they start branding people conspiracy theorist of nutjobs then it’s really hard for a lot of people to step up and question what they’re seeing. So that’s not the position I’m taking right now because these people already think I’m nuts.
SC: Well you are a bit nuts dude.
S: I know it’s extreme you know but I don’t think it’s that nuts to be honest.
SC: Extreme is probably a better word than nuts.
S: Yeah, it’s definitely not your average mission. But hey, you only live once right? It’s an adventure and I guess we’ll see. If I take out anyone, it’s well worth my time.
SC: It certainly is.
S: Right on.
SC: Well I think that about wraps it up. Thanks for your time Sarge.
S: Thanks for finding the blog and being there from the beginning man. Take care.
