Admiral Bush's New Deal?!

[HARDCORE]

Ah, yes indeed, it is a ?Grandiose New World Order? for America?s Veterans now that Tony Prince-ipi has taken over the Veterans Administration. Or could it possibly be that the ?Prince? has just initiated a rehashed version of the same old (and worn-out) specter of ?V.A. Christmas Past?!? New faces, after all, do not a prize package make!!

Avas ye swabs, I have been shipwrecked upon the shark-infested reefs of the VA and it?s oft-time troubled waters for some 14 years now, and during this watch, I have witnessed ongoing and often contradictory lies, compounded with provable threats, and magnified by intimidation, mental floggings, and endless delays!

When my claim for benefits was first (purposely) run aground upon the Veterans Administration?s shoals, some 14 years ago to be exact, I still managed to retain (at least) a modicum of misplaced trust in the nearly blind lighthouse keepers of the system! This, however, quickly ebbed amidst the rip-tide of lies and deception (including bogus remands), mis-information, and outright nastiness, spewed forth at the foundering VA! Even the cooks (misinformation chefs) at this school of sharks (opinion) would have had me walking the plank for not swallowing their rotting bait, hook, line and stinker! Is this a mindset shared all the way to the ghettos of DC, or is this just mass paranoia, perhaps?

And as for that ?Five-Star Admiral? set adrift in that ?Oval Office Bathtub?, is this perhaps, the same landlubber who now seeks to create yet another generation of (future) veteran castaways?

After being ambushed (broadsided) at each and every sea-lane, being outgunned by virtue of silver stars and sea-lawyers, but not truth and tenacity, I began to turn my justifiable anger in the direction of these ?Captain Bly Types!? I figured that with the self-inflicted blindness of their (VA?s) cockeyed crow?s nest, and their indifference to facts that do not flow to their liking, as well as that VA/Service Org. conflict of interest (in my case) that weighed down their judgment, like an anchor of a Battle-Wagon, my sole remaining recourse was to chart a different course, directly to the ports of power in Washington DC (Mistake #2, maybe)?

A ship?s company full of Senators and Congressmen too, quickly passed off the blood-drenched pieces of eight that they had been handed, and instantly veered off course to avoid the buoys of conflict. They treated my case (experimentation), after being influenced by $$$ no doubt, like a 60 year old can of over-ripe shark bait! Sixty years being pretty close to the time span that elements of our government, the military and the intelligence sector, have been shanghaiing unwitting service men (and women too maybe) for illegal, immoral and criminal exposure to chemicals and biological agents from hell!

Hell, to my way of thinking, it made absolutely no difference all the way to the White House (opinion), how criminal their ?Predecessory, Predatory Peers? had been in the past! These piranha were, after all, ?Brothers Of The Fin and Shipmates Of State - Gold-plated fellows, one and all!? And how dare any ?Mere American Mortal? cross cutlasses with the gods?!

As a matter of fact, one highly placed example of ?Senate Intelligence?, avowed after my yarn and viewing my paperwork some years back, that, and I quote: ?Heads were going to roll, regardless of rank and/or station?? This warrior, however, quickly dumped his cargo and retreated to the top-deck when the ?Yard-arm of Peer Pressure? swung too close to his pristine dickey (Collar-line)! ?Alas mates, now there be honor, be it watered down with brine, bull shit, and $$$$!?

Yet another (beached) Lord of the Admiralty, once volunteered to share a little ditty with me! He informed me that, and again I quote: ?You are asking questions that some in power don?t want to answer!?? Well, at least ?HE? was honest!?

Well after some 14 hard years before the mast, and after being illogically keel-hauled numerous times, as well as being busted down to ?Sub-Human Third Class?, I finally realized that the ?Pompous Powers That Be? had hung a five hundred pound albatross around my neck! I was ?Persona Non Grata? and labeled as a ?Jonas? by those who had
lowered my flag, even before the first shot of truth had been fired!. Those ever snarling pariahs who would sell out even ?Father Neptune Himself? for a half empty flacon of cheap rum!

And ah yes, the games of time that a few of these pandering mortals play!

I had thought that ?Musical Deck Chairs? had dropped out of fashion upon the sinking of the Titanic, but if these champagne-soaked blokes had anything to say about it, I would have been chained to the bulkhead of the Titanic, along with the other troublesome ghosts, away back in 1912! And as for a scant few of the deckhands of the VA Juggernaut, a few of these yes men may have felt right at home aboard the Widdah (Captain Kidd?s Pirate Vessel)! (opinion)

Well, to shorten another lengthy yarn, I was also once warned to cease and desist putting my quill to paper (writing diatribes), lest my ?Venomous Factualities? pull the cork on the USS-Arrogant (V.A.). I was further warned that Congress might just alter the course of the whole V.A. Fleet, running it into foul weather and turbulent seas, should I capture the ear of someone in Congress who truly gives a tinker?s dam!?

?So what is amiss Captain Bly?? Is there no truth aboard your wooden ship, save for the lash and grog locker! ?Twas not I, after all, that created this tempest, as it has been brewing for decades. I merely pointed out the fact that a small number of your crew has abandoned ship, morally in any event!? And it was, after all, you that gave the orders to scuttle the vessel! (opinion)

As a matter of fact, my fifteen minutes of truth was even set ablaze after a ?Pro-Bone-O? Attorney also ate up much of what was left of my allotted time, while I and my family were kept on bread and water, and locked deep within your ?Brig of Insults!?

Finally, I was just now told by that attorney that I had but three viable options!

1 - Represent myself (He who represents himself, represents a fool)!

2 - Seek another attorney (As of the date of the Pro Bono Attorney?s refusal to represent me, I had but 8 days left before my thirty-day extension ran out!?)

3 - Request the court (COVA) to voluntarily dismiss my appeal. ?In my uneducated opinion, this may have been the whole idea from the start!??

Well, don?t hold your breath ?Oh Free One? as I have not yet begun to fight!

It is again my opinion that this ?Continuing Trial of Sly-V.A. Errors? had indeed been sired, born and irrevocably decided, some 14 years ago behind closed doors at the VA and elsewhere, and my case's burial at sea was purely a formality!

Why you ask, do I feel that the fix was in, long before this ship left port - ?Well, I?ll tell you why!!?

The matter of experimentation upon unwitting, un-informed (non) volunteers during the Cold War (1955 to 1967) was (and is) a hot issue. And were it to become common knowledge, our facade of horror over like experiments abroad could be severely watered-down, not to mention the fact, as a Senate staffer told me years ago, heads would roll over this (provable) Cold War Atrocity!? This revelation, as covered in DAIG-IN 21-75, Chief of Staff Memo 385 and The Church Senate Hearings of 1977, would and could, also prove to be an embarrassment as well as a career (or pension) buster for those involved. But after all is said and done, what are a few thousand suffering victims, when compared to the reputations and $$$ status of the well connected - ?Yeah Right!??

So much for truth and justice? Ah but then, our ?Admirals of State? also have to come up for re-election every so often, do they not? (HMMM)

Now that I am finally finished with my ?Sea-Sermon?, walk me to the end of the plank mates, the bureaucratic sharks await, and their lust for blood is insatiable! [last opinion]
