This thread is for discussing the background and credentials of Alexander (Al) B. Cuppett. In the spirit of the "People Debunked" forum, the intent is not to attack or insult Mr. Cuppett's character, but rather to examine whether the authority attributed to his claims based on his credentials is valid or false. See the Debunking People Guidelines.
Al Cuppett has his own blog and website: alcuppett.com, and he appears to have a regular segment on Omega Man Radio, a web radio channel centered on discussion of "Exorcism of demons, Spiritual Warfare Training, End Time Survival and preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ." He writes and speaks about a variety of NWO-related conspiracy themes.
In relation to the chemtrails conspiracy theory, Al Cuppett is often cited as a retired Army General who worked in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and thus is considered an insider or whistleblower. This claim shows up in chemtrails "timelines" which are frequently cut-and-pasted, such as on Arizona Skywatch:
Achieving the rank of General in the armed forces is, to put it mildly, a very big deal. When the word is used by itself, it refers to a 4-star General, the highest rank currently possible (while the terms Brigadier General, Major General, and Lieutenant General are used for 1-, 2-, and 3-star officers, respectively - see General Officers in the United States). It's highly unlikely that Cuppett would neglect to mention any of these ranks in his list of credentials. He's not included in this List of United States Generals in the 20th Century.
In summary:

In relation to the chemtrails conspiracy theory, Al Cuppett is often cited as a retired Army General who worked in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and thus is considered an insider or whistleblower. This claim shows up in chemtrails "timelines" which are frequently cut-and-pasted, such as on Arizona Skywatch:
The letter referred to there has been propagated in many sources, including the Geoengineering Watch website, which also identifies Cuppett as a retired General and a Joint Chief of Staff:March 2001: Retired U.S. Army General Al Cuppett, a former insider of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, blows whistle to U.S. military Central Command about the presence of Russian (and possibly foreign national) pilots that are using United nations aircraft for their spray operations, conducted through aerial spray operations above the U.S. mainland. Cuppett alleges this activity dates back to 1993, when the Treaty on Open Skies was officially ratified by the U.S.
As far as I can find, Al Cuppett does not claim to be a General, nor does he state his Army rank anywhere. In the aforementioned letter, he states his credentials this way:The following is a letter from retired Army General AL Cuppett, former Joint Chief of Staff, concerning ‘illegal chemical spraying occurring in the US, by UN aircraft.’ These aircraft are intentionally spraying known pathogens, (designed to sicken and weaken Americans.)
In one letter posted on his website, he details his background in this way:Sir, to prove I know whereof I speak, be advised I served the United Sates thirty-one years, nineteen of which were ‘joint services’. Moreover, I served two years as an Air Staff Action Officer in XOKCR/ SITI; as well as a Communications (C31) Action Officer/Evaluator, for six years, on the Joint Staff in then-C3SEO, and J-7/EAD. I received the, “Secretary of Defense Civilian Service Medal”, and during my service career, the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, et al, on a 15 month combat tour: being stationed 14 years overseas, and serving in over 25 countries.
Note the following about his self-reported credentials:Alexander B. Cuppett
Bronze Star and Purple Heart Medal Recipient, et al, Vietnam, 1970-1971 (1957-1979)
Secretary of Defense Civilian Service Medal, the Joint Staff, 1984-1990
Joint Meritorious Unit Award, the Joint Staff, 1984-1990
Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge Recipient, 1989
- No mention of rank achieved during his military career.
- He states that for his work from 1984-1990, he was awarded a Civilian Service Medal, which is awarded to civilians (not active military) who "directly support the military forces, when those members are engaged in military operations of a prolonged peacekeeping or humanitarian nature."
- The ID badge just means that he worked in the Joint Staff in the Pentagon, not that he was a Joint Chief himself.
Since the Joint Chiefs of Staff are composed of the highest-ranked members of each branch of the military, it's safe to say that while Cuppett may have been a staffer in the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, he was not himself a Joint Chief.The Army and sister services use the term, action officer to refer to a staff member (staffer). Action officers shape information and submit recommendations to senior decision makers, that when approved become decisions.
Achieving the rank of General in the armed forces is, to put it mildly, a very big deal. When the word is used by itself, it refers to a 4-star General, the highest rank currently possible (while the terms Brigadier General, Major General, and Lieutenant General are used for 1-, 2-, and 3-star officers, respectively - see General Officers in the United States). It's highly unlikely that Cuppett would neglect to mention any of these ranks in his list of credentials. He's not included in this List of United States Generals in the 20th Century.
In summary:
- Cuppett identifies himself (plausibly) as having served in the Army, including a tour in Vietnam, and then having worked as a civilian staffer with the Joint Staff in the Pentagon until 1990.
- It is extremely unlikely that he was ever a General or that he was one of the Joint Chiefs. He does not claim this himself, and these credentials were likely added on by other sources as his writing was copied to different sites.
- It is not known what rank he did achieve during his military service, or whether he was a military officer.
