We are 100% in Support of the Veterans Today Website ...

DEMAND FOR A GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS!

The Veterans Today Website, and their e-mail Newsletter, just keep getting better, and better. They are exposing the massive corruption in the Department of Veterans Affairs.

We would like to make it clear that we support them, 100%, and hope all our members will UNITE behind DEMANDING honest investigations of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and its inhuman thief of benefits from America's Veterans.

It's time for the massive VA corruption to end. So we are posting an open letter to the President.

Dear President Obama,

For at least 8 years the Department of Veterans Affairs has been a cesspool of corruption, completely under the control of crooks, and thieves, while America's Veterans, and returning wounded from the Afghan, and Iraq Wars, have been raped by a Corrupt Nation.

 

1. VA Secretary Anthony Principi was the Executive Chairman of the QTC Management Corporation, a strongly Republican Corporation.

 

2. VA Secretary James Peake was on the Board of Directors for QTC, the strongly Republican Corporation, when he was picked to be the VA's Top Dog.

 

3. VA Secretary Jim Nicholson, was the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

 

 Simply put, under former President Bush the QTC Corporation, and Republican Party, indirectly, completely controlled the Department of Veterans Affairs.

QTC Management, Inc. is noted for "overcharging" the VA (it's called STEALING), and when caught stealing six million dollars, was asked to only give back three million, because of its ties to the Republican Party.

QTC is also known by America's Disabled Veterans for being extremely dishonest (what QTC calls "Conservative") in disability ratings, while being very liberal in it's bonuses to its management.

Former VA Secretary Jim Nicholson, who is also the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, was forced to resign due to the worst record in history of neglecting, and screwing over, Veterans.

  Under Nicholson VA Health Care Staffing, Nursing Home Care, Staffing to Process VA Claims were all reduced resulting in massive claim backlogs, and Disabled Veterans being denied medical care.

Under Nicholson's leadership Veterans suffered the largest loss of their personal DATA in U.S. History.

Nicholson rejected four separate bills to reduce the 600.000 backlog of Veterans Claims.

While Nicholson could not stand to see a Disabled American Veteran receive a penny in disability payments, or receive medical care for their war injuries, Secretary Nicholson did believe the rich should be well cared for, and he gave upper-level management in the VA OVER $3,800,000.00 in bonuses.

DESPITE HIS CLAIMS THAT THE VA COULD NOT AFFORD TO CARE FOR REAL VETERANS!

So for at least eight years America's Veterans have had their claim files illegally shredded at VA Regional Offices, or been sent in endless circles, and cheated out of the benefits they have EARNED with their blood.

America's Veterans DESERVE an honest system!

Grass Roots Veteran Leaders that speak out against the VA, exposing the massive corruption, have their benefits STOLEN by VA upper-level management, as Retaliation for exposing the truth.

 As "Punishment" for spending years exposing this VA Corruption VetsForJustice Founder, Billy Ray Kidwell, has had his VA Claim File destroyed, at least four times, by VA Officials.

Although rated at 100% Service-Connected the VA refused to provide Champ VA Medical Care, which is supposed to be manatory, to Kidwell's son for 18 years, until the child was too old to receive it.

The VA refused to provide VA College benefits to Kidwell's son, who was legally entitled to them, forcing him to drop out of college.

The VA refused to provide college benefits to Kidwell's wife, who is legally entitled to benefits, intentionally creating an extreme hardship on Kidwell.

It is well-documented that VA Attorneys lied to a Federal Judge as part of a scheme to steal Kidwell's VA back-payment and the corrupt VA Inspector General refuses to investigate, as does the Justice Department, and Attorney General.

The government covers up their corruption, especially when the crimes are against a Disabled American Veteran.

All this illegal conduct against Kidwell is not rare. It is a VA POLICY of Retaliation.

Every Disabled Veteran with a grass roots Veteran site on the internet that exposes VA corruption, or misconduct, has been the subject of some type of VA Retaliation.

Mr. President America's Veterans served with honor and we deserve better.

 

 I would like to ask you to ORDER the United States Department of Justice to do a full, honest, investigation of the massive corruption in the Department of Veterans Affairs, and to prosecute those who have gotten rich stealing off America's Veterans to the fullest extent of the law.

And I would like to ask you to clean up the cesspool that is the Department of Veterans Affairs and to provide America's Veterans with an honest claims system.

Thank you,

Billy Ray Kidwell

 

They have been seeking, and obtaining, donations for years under the pretext of being a POW Support Group while in reality they are a Right Wing Political Attack Group, similar to the Swift Boat Vets, intentionally posting lies about Veterans, and harassing Veterans, who do not support their Right Wing Political Views.

FRAUD BY THE POW NETWORK AS THEY DESTROY VETERAN'S LIVES

If you posted a POW Flag on the E-Bay web site, but still left the rest of the site the same, which is a giant auction, would that make e-bay a tax-free POW Group?

That is basically what the POW Network does. They post a POW Flag on their website, that you can buy from them for $10.00 to $73.00, set up a database, or two, and claim to the IRS that they are an "Educational Group".

This "Educational Group" sells 19 different kinds of belt buckles, 2 different books, 2 kinds of Challenge Coins, dozens of Decals, Bumper Stickers, Jackets, Hats, Patches, Pins, and Jewelry, POW Bracelets, POW Patches, POW Decals, POW Shirts, and many, many other items too numerous to list, all while asking for donations, and seeking Corporate Sponsorship.

 While the POW Network is profiteering off America's POW's they claim to be a Tax Free 501 (c)(3) educational organization.

At VetsForJustice.Com we KNOW what it costs to maintain internet websites, (We have four), including several databases, and a 24 hour forum area, and it seems extremely unbelieveable that the POW Network isn't making a massive profit, with the number of hits they get, the number of items in their store, the donations, corporate sponsors, events they charge you to attend, and all the hustling they do.

Clearly they have turned the POW Issue into a business!

Management at the POW Network found that they can obtain additional donations by setting themselves up as having the authority to Judge the Military Service of all Military Retirees, and Veterans, by using their so called "POW Network", to slander, and attack America's Veterans.

However, if you read the POW Network's Veteran Attack Pages you will find that their "Judgment" as to if a Veteran deserved a medal, or if a Veteran's Military Service was honorable, is based on POLITICS.

For example, the POW Network attacks severely disabled Vietnam Veterans, claiming that their military service was not Honorable, if they only got a traffic ticket, and have Democratic Views.

However, if you are a Republican and you betray your country, and change sides while a POW, and sign confessions hurting the war effort, and describe in detail to the enemy how American Planes avoid radar, which can cost many American lives, the POW Network considers it "Honorable".

The POW Network is clearly a right wing Republican  Political Attack Group.

For example, the POW Network posted intentional lies about VetsForJustice Founder, Billy Kidwell, claiming his Vietnam Military Service was not Honorable, according to them, because Kidwell took a 45 Cal. off a VC (the Enemy).

Meanwhile, those in charge of the POW Network are so dumb, first they violated Federal Law, obtaining parts of Kidwell's confidential  Army Records, in direct Violation of the Federal Privacy Act, and posted those records at their web site, PROVING THEY COMMITTED A FEDERAL CRIME.

As if that wasn't dumb enough, the Army Records they posted PROVED that Kidwell received THE VERY HIGHEST RATING for conduct in Vietnam (Meaning the POW Network had lied at their website about Kidwell when they claimed his Army Service was not Honorable in Vietnam.)

meanwhile the POW Network  because at makeews today, according to Newsday.com, is that the Director, and other top managers, with the New York VA Region

 

At Least Ten Years We Have Given the VA Inspector General Proof of VA Corruption Towards Veterans and There Hasn't Been a Single Investigation!

THE VA INSPECTOR GENERAL IS A COVER-UP EXPERT

The news today, according to Newsday.com, is that the Director, and other top managers, with the New York VA Regional Office were "ousted" after being caught falsifying VA Records to intentionally cheat America's Veterans.

For ten years we have provided the VA Inspector General PROOF of a host of similar illegal conduct by VA Officials, not only in the New York VA Regional Office, but in Atlanta Georgia, and in Saint Petersburg, Florida, which is the most corrupt VA Regional Office in America.

So why did the VA Inspector General ignore our evidence for ten years and now act when the destruction of VA Records, and falsification of dates, and paperwork hits some newspapers?

It's because the VA Inspector General is a Cover-Up Expert for the Bush Administration, who ignores corruption towards Veterans, unless it appears in the media.

Then the "Official" VA Con Game is to give some press release, pretend some action was taken, often "ousting" someone, which usually means that they get PROMOTED and sent to another VA to screw more Veterans.

We challenge reporter Martin C. Evans with Newsday.Com to have the VA Inspector General explain why Complaints of wrongdoing by Veterans is not investigated, and to have the VA explain why punitive actions have been taken against those corrupt VA employees.

If a Disabled Veteran cheats the VA that Veteran is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Why doesn't Newsday.com have the VA explain why their enforcement of criminal conduct is far more severe for Veterans than it is for corrupt VA employees!

Disabled Veteran Tom Hubert of Ringgold Georgia had the VA destroy, and falsify, VA Records of three separate VA Hearings as part of a VA scheme to steal a small VA Pension from him.

Disabled Service-Connected Vietnam Veteran Billy Kidwell has posted proof at this site that VA Officials lied to a Federal Judge, and falsified his VA Record to steal his VA back payment. [Evidence is posted here]

Yet the VA Inspector General COVERS UP the VA Crimes towards those deserving Disabled Veterans, and THOUSANDS of other Veterans being intentionally cheated.

What we need is someone to investigate VA Inspector General George J. Opfer, and his Cover-Up "Tactics".

 

 

The Official VA Criminal Policy

Of Extreme Retaliation Against Veterans Advocates

 The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to keep a low profile, and to keep the public in the dark, about the massive corruption in that agency, and how inhuman America's Veterans are really treated. To reach that goal the Department of Veterans Affairs has had a lengthy "Official Policy" of severe criminal retaliation against  Veterans Advocates, and those that speak out against the VA, or expose corruption, or unjust policies.

This Official Criminal Policy is directed by the very highest levels of the VA, including the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the VA Office of General Counsel, who are both political appointees.

The Criminal Policy works like this; the major Veterans Groups, the VFW, American Legion, and so on, have an unwritten deal with the Department of Veterans Affairs. They will fill out papers, and process claims for Veterans, but they will turn their heads, and tightly close their eyes, when they see criminal conduct by VA Officials.

In return, for having a limit as to have far they will go in protecting a Veterans rights, those major Veterans Associations get rooms in VA buildings for their organizations, and the VA does not retaliate against their "Veteran Advocates" in those groups, who really do nothing more then fill out forms for Veterans, and refuse to be real advocates for the Veteran.

However, real Veteran Advocates who are often with grassroots Veterans Groups, with the guts to expose corruption in the VA, and an unjust system, can expect their claim files to "disappear", or for evidence favorable to their claim to either disappear, or be distorted, and falsified, and to be sent in endless circles where it can take 35 years, or longer, for the VA to process their claim.

The VA has a "Policy" of severe retaliation against Grassroots Veterans Advocates, and their dependants, and also against any VA employee that dares speak up, or expose the criminal acts by VA Officials.

Lets look at some cases.......

 

The Case of VetsForJustice founder Billy Ray Kidwell

Billy Kidwell has been a grassroots Veteran Advocate since he returned from Vietnam.

Despite every doctor he has ever been examined by, since his return from Vietnam, a total of 47 doctors, all agreeing that he is 100% disabled from his Vietnam Service, and despite Official United States Army Records PROVING that Kidwell is 100% Service-Connected, it took the VA 34 years to simply process Kidwell's VA Claim. And they still stole his back-payment!

The only reason the VA processed his claim then is because the President of the United States personally ORDERED the Surgeon General of the United States to issue a report, which also found Kidwell 100% Service-Connected, and then the President ORDERED the Department of Veterans Affairs to stop their stonewalling, and corruption, and to process Kidwell's claim.

From the date Kidwell filed his VA Claim on October 8, 1970 the VA completely destroyed his VA Claim File, at least three times, lied to three different Federal Judges claiming Kidwell never ever filed for VA Benefits [The evidence proving the VA intentionally lied to federal judges is here posted http://www.vetsforjustice.com/evidence.htm ].

The Secretary of the VA has denied Kidwell's son, and wife, benefits by simply refusing to process their claims forms. The motive is to make an example of, and make Veterans fear speaking out against the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is illegal RETALIATION.

A Number of Additional Cases are being Processed and will soon be posted.

 

 

The VA Political Payoff System

 To understand how the VA works, and just how corrupt it is, you have to understand what the purpose of today's VA really is.

Today's Department of Veterans Affairs has two goals.

The first is to appease the public by making it "appear" that Veterans have rights, and will be cared for, while the REAL purpose of the VA is to award as little money, as possible, in benefits, and to keep stalling, and sending disabled Veterans in endless circles, to avoid actually paying them the benefits that they are legally entitled to.

To keep the cost of war as low as possible for the rich, and powerful, that really control America.

The second goal is for the Department of Veterans Affairs to be used as a "Political Payoff System" for supporters of the political party that is presently in power.

From Regional Director to the Secretary of the VA, and the Office of General Counsel, appointments are not made based on qualifications, but on political "connections", and if you supported the "right" person.

The extremely high paying jobs, such as Secretary of the VA, Under Secretary, Regional Director, and so on usually also include lots of ways to make massive amounts of extra "bonus" money by giving VA Government Contracts to "friends", and accepting kickbacks, and "gifts".

These jobs are given to loyal political party members, who made large donations, or to whom "favors" are owed.

To make the VA System even more corrupt the political appointees, such as VA Regional Directors often hire many of their family members as disability raters, or in other good jobs, even when they have no experience, or qualifications.

As if all this doesn't make the VA corrupt, and rotten, enough, the Secretary of the VA often pays large bonuses to VA Decision makers that intentionally cheat disabled Veterans by quickly turning down VA Claims, that should have been legally approved.

Simply put, there is no limit the government will go to in it's scheme to cheat, and torture, America's Disabled Veterans.

A CALL TO UNITE !

A couple of years ago all the grassroots Veterans Groups united together on Congressman Marshall's Discharge Petition on the Disabled Veterans Tax and we actually changed the law, and got President Bush to back down.

Now, with all the elections, and politics going on, is the time for grassroots Veterans Groups to UNITE again to correct the injustice of the Disabled Veterans Tax, and to clean up the Corrupt Federal Court System so that Veterans can correct all the other injustices in an honest Court System.

We need to all put aside our differences and once again UNITE to form a voice the politicians running our country cannot ignore. If they want re-elected.

Help us force legislation to correct the Disabled Veterans Tax, and use our clout as Veterans to force the House, and Senate, Committees on the Judiciary to clean up the extremely corrupt Federal Court System, and start impeaching corrupt judges.

 

How Veterans are REALLY Treated by an Ungrateful Nation

America's Fourth Class Citizens

What the news media will not tell you is the truth about what it's like to be a disabled Veteran returning from war, or the truth about the Department of Veterans Affairs, and America's Court System.

The Disabled Vietnam Veteran returned to find he had lost his Constitutional Rights for serving his country. The government calls it the "Feres Doctrine".

That there was no agency to help him, and that both the VA System, and the Courts, were dishonest, and rotten to the core.

Little has changed for today's troops returning from Afghanistan, or Iraq, disabled from serving an "Ungrateful" Nation.

The "tactics" used by the Department of Veterans Affairs, to cheat Disabled Vietnam Veterans out of their benefits, was to illegally destroy evidence, and sometimes the Veterans whole Claim File, and then to send Veterans in endless circles, hoping the Veteran would give up, or die.

Yes, the VA, and our politicians DO want you DEAD, now that they don't need you anymore, so that they don't have to pay you.

Today the new VA "tactic" is to search in the Disabled Veterans Past, and try to find any kind of prior illness, almost everyone has one, so that the military when they discharge you, and the VA when you apply for benefits, can claim that the combat injury, or P.T.S.D. is actually a "pre-existing" injury, or illness, as they send today's returning heroes in endless circles.

You have to remember that those put in charge of the VA, as a "Political Pay-Off", are the very best, the very sleaziest, corporate officers in America. They are experts at stealing!

While our politicians will dump hundred dollar bills out of airplanes in Afghanistan...

re-build nations with billions of dollars, that turn out to be our enemies...

offer to give everyone in America $800 to help the economy (during an election year)

America's Politicians REFUSE to care for those who return wounded, or disabled, from serving their country.

And if you should refuse to give up, and DO obtain benefits after wasting your life fighting the VA for the benefits you EARNED, benefits that should have been freely given from the start, what do you really get?

A 100% Service-Connected Veteran gets about the same amount of pay a manager at a McDonalds Restaurant makes! And the manager doesn't have the added costs related to being disabled!

When you travel to VA Hospitals for your medical appointments you will get 11 cents a mile despite gas costing over $3.00 a gallon and car payments, and insurance taking most of your disability check.

The VA gives you just about enough "travel pay" so they can get you the hell off their property.

How can any nation be MORE ungrateful to those who defend her?

It's election time. It's now or never that we make our government to start being accountable for the inhuman treatment of America's Veterans.

And we need to STOP having the Department of Veterans Affairs, and our Court System, used as a "Political Payoff System" where low-life's, and greedy corporate political supporters of the "right" politicians, are made judges, or given control of an agency that has constantly betrayed our Veterans.

Now is the time we NEED to unite.

  

U.S. District Courts, Rigged, Dishonest, Fixing Cases,  Accepting Bribes, and strongly

ANTI-VETERAN

Anyone who has not prosecuted a lawsuit in the Federal Court System has the illusion that the Courts in America are fair and honest. After all this is America, right?

The truth is that we have the most dishonest Court System on earth, however that is one of America's "dirty little secrets", because the news media does not do its duty, to make the public aware of the cesspool, the American Judicial System has become.

Or how America's Veterans have no rights, or any chance of a fair, or honest, process should you sue the VA in Court.

Federal Judges, from District Court Judges, to Appeals Court Judges, and even the Judges on the Supreme Court, freely accept "bribes" from Court Lobbyists, calling them "Education Junkets", or some similar name.

Don't be fooled. Those "junkets" are clearly bribes, and federal judges remember who pays them off.

To read about this please check out Trips for Judges by clicking here or a news story about the payoffs here.

To find out more please go to www.Judgewatch.org and read the article Judicial Misconduct by clicking here.

The real problem is that Federal Judges are political appointees, appointed for life, and above the law. They remember who appointed them and repay the "favors" they owe.

The reason they are above the law is that congress passed laws allowing federal judges oversee themselves, and no federal judge is going to punish himself, or a fellow judge.

Even though Committees in both the House, and Senate, are "supposed" to oversee corrupt judges, neither committee will investigate an individual case, nor investigate a corrupt Federal Judge, no matter how dishonest the judge is.

The result is that the VA has developed a scheme for keeping every Veteran from getting help in the Courts.

The VA will falsify your VA Claim File, destroy your VA records, and commit any crime to steal your benefits.

Should you try to sue in Court the VA merely lies and tells the Court that you didn't seek an administrative remedy, or that the VA is working on it, or some other lie and the U.S. District Court will rule against you, knowing the VA is lying, and knowing that you have no one to complain to, because Federal Judges cover up for each other.

 What can we do with a system so dishonest?

We need to hold each member of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary, and U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, fully responsible, and unite with every grassroots Veterans Group on the internet to vote out any Congressman, or Senator, on those Committees that does not act to clean up the filth that is our judicial system, and give America's Veterans an Honest, Fair, Court System.

The key to all the evils against America's Veterans is cleaning up the "Political", rotten to the core, bribe taking Federal Court System we have now, and getting some honest judges.

 an honest Court System Veterans can go to when they are wronged, or treated unfairly.

Each Veteran coming here can help by writing, or e-mailing, those Committees DEMANDING that they actually start cleaning up the extremely corrupt Federal Court System, and DOING THEIR DUTY, impeaching dishonest Federal Judges.

Out of 13,000 cases filed by Veterans, the Court of Veterans Appeals, has only ruled in the Veterans favor 14 times. It's "Policy" is to send Veterans in endless circles, just like the VA does.

 

THERE IS NATIONWIDE NEPOTISM,

AND FAVORITISM IN THE VA

We have received information from former, and current, VA Doctors, who have visited our site, about many VA Schemes to cheat Veterans, including memo "instructions" for doctors to be "conservative" in their ratings, instead of honest.

Recently we have also receive information from a number of different VA Regional Offices about Nepotism, and Favoritism, being rampant in the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The problem with the Department of Veterans Affairs, is the same exact problem we had with FEMA, and Bush's pal "Brownie", the horse trader Bush put in charge of FEMA.

People are appointed to administration, and leadership positions, in the Department of Veterans Affairs, who are not qualified, because of who they are related to, or who they know, or for political reasons.

At our sister website, The One Voice Forum, you can read posts from VA Rating Board Adjudicators, exposing how being related to someone, or favoritism, if you are in the right political "clique", you can get a job you are not qualified for at the VA.

This results in many errors being made on VA Claims, by individuals not qualified to process your claim, and results in delayed claims, and wrongly denying claims.

To compound the problem even more, the VA is using old DOS Computer Programs, such as MAPD, SHARE, COVERS, BDN SHELL, AWARDS, and several other intertwined applications.

This is why so many of your tax dollars, earmarked for Veterans, is being wasted.
