THE POW NETWORK IS AN ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI-VETERAN, GROUP PROFITEERING OFF VETS
The POW Network was started as a non-profit keeping records of POWs, and helping the Prisoner of War Cause. It was founded by Vietnam Veteran, Chuck Schantag, who has a Purple Heart from the 1968 Tet Offensive in Viet Nam.
Somewhere along the line Chuck Schantag "got a big head" from heading the non-profit "educational" POW Network, and with his new massive ego he decided that he was "God-Like" and entitled to Judge the military service of all other Veterans.
So Chuck Schantag appointed his wife as an "investigator" and he started an Anti-Veteran Crusade of publishing any allegation against any Veteran, often without any evidence, or using evidence that was misquoted, or known to be incorrect, to attack fellow Veterans, as a means of making himself seem more important.
Mary, and Chuck Schantag, although being "self-appointed" judges of all Veterans, have no lawful authority to do so, and have broken many federal, and state, laws in their new enterprise.
Instead of caring for, or helping, the many disabled Veterans returning from the Iraq, or Afghanistan, Wars Mary, and Chuck, Schantag have decided to make it their priority to spend their lives, in the Anti-American Activity, of attacking America's Veterans, and falsely claiming that they have some right to judge them.
Now Mary, and Chuck Schantang have expanded the "POW" Network into not just a Veteran Attack Group, but also a "Political" Attack Group, in that the POW Network uses its resources, and many donations, to promote a Republican-Pedophile "Swift-Boat-Like" Group run by Joe Oliver out of Texas.
A number of Veteran Victims of the Anti-Veteran "Swift-Boat" Attacks of the New Anti-Veteran POW Network have filed complaints with the VA Inspector General alleging that the POW Network has illegally obtained confidential VA Records in direct violation of the Privacy Act to harass the Veteran.
Most recently Mary, and Chuck Schantang has intentionally posted blatant lies about the HONORABLE Army Service of this site's founder, Billy Ray Kidwell.
Neither habitual liar Chuck Schantang, nor his "Official Researcher" Wife, Mary had the morals to contact the victim, Billy Kidwell, in their "research", to give him an opportunity to prove that their statements were false, with the massive amount of Public Records that prove that they are liars.
In fact, the one, and only, person they did contact, who does not even know Kidwell, nor know anything about Kidwell's extremely HONORABLE Military Service, CONFIRMED that VetsForJustice Founder, Billy Kidwell, was telling the truth about the unit he was assigned to.
Unlike other victims of Anti-Veteran Attacks by the Veteran Hate Group, the "POW" Network we intend to shortly file suit for the slander, and to not only make Chuck, and Mary Schantang pay PERSONAL substantial damages for their fraudulent statements, but to post on their front page a statement ADMITTING that they intentionally posted lies.
We intend to sue in Court to prove they are habitual liars.
Meanwhile, we shall be reporting them to the IRS for engaging in fraud by representing that they are a POW Educational Non-Profit when in reality they are operating as an Anti-American, Anti-Veteran, PAC Hate Group promoting extreme Republican Political "Swift-Boat" Attacks on Honorable American War Veterans.
The so called "POW" Network, whose real mission is attacking Veterans, is obtaining substantional tax-free donations as a non-profit, when they are in fact operating as an extreme right wing PAC.
To those wrongly harassed by Chuck Schantang's Group you need to be made aware that most states have criminal statutes against such harassment, and if you are a disabled Veteran, most states have laws that make it a very serious FELONY to harass a disabled person.
Our Phony & Wannabe List
CHUCK SCHANTANG, who is a regular Vietnam Veteran, has NO LAWFUL AUTHORITY to "investigate", or harass America's Veterans is a phony, and wannabe FBI Agent, or self-appointed judge.
He is NOT a law Enforcement Officer. He is NOT with the F.B.I., nor is he a VA Inspector General.
He is NOT a God, nor a Judge, and he has no lawful authority to "investigate", or judge, the military service of other Veterans, and in fact he is committing a crime in most states when he harasses them.
That authority rests solely with the different branches of the Military Service, and the Boards for Correction of Military Records, or Board for Review of Military Records, and the Courts.
He is a WANNABE engaged in illegal conduct.
MARY SCHANTANG is not licensed as an investigator, nor is she an F.B.I. Agent, nor VA Employee, and she has NO AUTHORITY, whatsoever, to investigate America's Veterans, and to judge them, and decide if their military service is Honorable.
It has been alleged that she has obtained confidential VA Records of Veterans ILLEGALLY and complaint have been made with the VA Inspector about her, and the so called Anti-Veteran "POW" Network.
She is a WANNABE and has no right, or legal authority to harass, or Judge, America's Veterans, and it is Anti-American for her to do so.
JOE OLIVER is a pedophile who has stalked the daughter of VetsForJustice founder, Billy Kidwell, on the internet, and with a group of Anti-Americans, who hide on the internet with mail-forwarding "tactics" that scammers, and criminals, use, has harassed VetsForJustice founder, Billy Kidwell off and on for a couple of years with obscene E-Mails.
While Joe Oliver "claims" to be Special Forces he has lacked the guts to make his perverted remarks about Kidwell's minor child to Kidwell's face, despite a number of invitations to do so, as he hides on the internet harassing America's Veterans.
If this is what Special Forces are made of I would be ashamed if I belonged to such a group stalking children. I have to believe that REAL Special Forces are different, and have morals.
Others who are part of this e-mail harassment of Kidwell with Joe Oliver include a McCloed, who also used the e-mail fake name of "Elvis Presley", a Joanne Blackwell, and a number of others that use e-mail forwarding to hide on the internet as they stalk the minor children of America's Veterans, make threats, and harass Veterans.
THAT IS WHAT THE ANTI-VETERAN POW NETWORK IS TIED TO!

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PASSES ANTI-VETERAN STIMULUS PACKAGE
An ungrateful Republican Party, that has been determined to keep America's Disabled Veterans from getting a dime from the multi-billion dollar Stimulus Package, has almost gotten their wish.
Thanks to two leading Democrats "changing sides", Democrat Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, joining the Anti-Veteran Republican Party, they passed a "stimulus" package giving $800 to $1,600 to everyone in America EXCEPT the elderly, and America's Disabled Veterans.
America's Disabled Veterans get a mere $300.
About a third of what the rest of America gets, proving that America is a very ungrateful nation, that the Republican Party is extremely ungrateful towards America's Military, once they fall in battle, and the Republicans no longer need them for their wars of profit.
For years the Republican Party has had complete control over the Department of Veterans Affairs, cheating America's Heroes out of the benefits that they earned, and the conduct of the Republican Party on this "Stimulus" package proves our allegations about that wrongful conduct with VA benefits.
In reality, the stimulus package will never work, and actually harms America putting us deeper, and deeper, in dept to China, which is where the Bush Administration is borrowing the money to give away. It creates a debt our children will never be able to repay.
The way to "Stimulate" our economy is to stop using the wealth of America to build nations, that history has shone us will never be real friends but that will one day attack us.
When war comes to the Middle East everyone knows that Iraq will side with Iran against us, so all we are doing in Iraq is building a stronger future enemy. Isn't Iraq using all the military weapons Republican President Reagan gave to Iraq to attack our troops now? Reagan, and Rumsfeld MADE Saddam powerful.
We need to use American Money IN AMERICA paying our Veterans the benefits they EARNED, caring for our elderly, and building American Factories again while punishing corporations that go overseas to increase their profits, taking America's Jobs with them.
We need to stand up to America's "We will do anything for a dollar" politicians and say enough is enough. That America's Veterans are NOT third class citizens!
The only real way to stimulate America is to pay a living wage to our Disabled Veterans, and elderly, to spend money creating new jobs, and to bring America's Factories home.

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.
A Rare HONEST Federal Judge
Senior Judge Samuel Conti
Allows Lawsuit Against VA
Being one of the thousands of Veterans that had their VA Claim File illegally destroyed by VA Attorneys, many times, and having gone to the Courts, many times, in my quest for justice, I KNOW just how dishonest, and rotten America's Court System really is.
Over the years I have discovered how both high-level VA Officials, and Federal Judges, are BOTH awarded their jobs as part of a "Political Pay-Off System", for supporting the "right" political candidate.
I have seen how the United States District Court is Washington is full of political thieves, who eagerly lie, and cover-up, the crimes of dishonest VA Officials, and how you cannot find one honest Federal Judge in Washington.
I have seen U.S. District Court Judge Marcia Morales Howard in Fort Myers Florida intentionally lie on the record, as she ORDERED a Disabled Veteran to violate his doctor's medical orders, as she tried to cause his death, so she could "rig" a case for a fellow attorney.
You would be hard pressed to find any criminal, in any prison, as dishonest, and corrupt, as many of America's "Political" Federal Judges, nor a "system" so strongly Anti-Veteran.
That is why it was so shocking to read the recent, HONEST, decision by Judge Samuel Conti in the Class Action for Veterans. [Judge Samuel Conti is with the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.]
Judge Samuel Conti was honest, describing the relevant case law, and set an example, that all Federal Judges should follow.
Someone actually screwed up and appointed an honest Federal Judge!
If there were MORE honest judges, like Judge Samuel Conti, there would surely be far less corruption in the Department of Veterans Affairs, and a lot less Disabled Veterans being intentionally driven to their death, by the politicians controlling the VA, and most of the federal Courts.
Despite the government's best attempts to get the class-action lawsuit dismissed, it will go forward, and hopefully clean up, at least a little, of the filth in the VA System, and thereby save the lives of many Veterans, who only seek, the care, and benefits, THEY EARNED.
You may read about the Class Action Lawsuit here.
The lawsuit was filed by the Veterans for Common Sense, and Veterans United for Truth Non-Profit Groups.
Those are the groups that are really fighting for Veterans Rights. Which makes you ask just WHY the American Legion, the DAV, the VFW, or any of the "Established" Veterans Groups have not joined in the lawsuit, with their vast resources, to help Veterans.
If you were going to donate money to one of those "Established" Groups, we URGE you to THINK AGAIN, and to send the money to the groups that are actually fighting for our rights in Court instead.

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.

Sleaziest, Anti-Veteran Businessman in America
General Motors CEO
G. RICHARD WAGONER
Many of you have seen our links here to another site, www.LyingScumBags.com where it describes how a Veteran was ripped off by General Motors when he bought one of the last S-10 Pickup Trucks coming off the assembly line three years ago.

A brand new truck with dash lights that go out unexpectedly, a gas gauge that never works, a leaking transmission, a knocking motor, a side door that won't open, a passenger seat that falls down while driving, dozens of other problems, and the truck has failed to even start for the past two years.
A lemon law hearing was held and the truck was found to be defective, and not fit to drive, and General Motors was given a "last chance" to fix the truck, but has failed to do so, or even try to fix it.
General Motors does NOT honor it's written warranty, or even care about honesty, or business ethics.
A number of letters was sent to EACH member of the General Motors Board of Directors, and to General Motors CEO, G. RICHARD WAGONER, explaining everything, and asking for General Motors to provide a working truck, which is what the Disabled Veteran paid General Motors for.
Six Registered Letter Complaints were sent to General Motors CEO G Richard Wagoner, making sure, beyond any doubt, he KNEW he was stealing from a Disabled Veteran.
General Motors CEO G. Richard Wagoner, fully knowing the circumstances, and that he had cheated a disabled Veteran, directed the General Motors Attorneys to stall, and continue to cheat the Disabled Veteran out of his money, because G. Richard Wagoner knew the Veteran was on VA Disability, and could not afford an attorney.
The Official "Policy" of General Motors, as set by their CEO, G. Richard Wagoner, is "Steal from Disabled Veterans because they can't afford attorneys".
G. Richard Wagoner has gotten rich by these sleazy "tactics". He lacks morals, and business ethics. It takes a real low life to profit off knowingly stealing from disabled Veterans, simply because he has enough money to pay attorneys, just as sleazy as he is, to assist him.
It is therefore Our Opinion that General Motors CEO G. Richard Wagoner, a common thief, is the Sleaziest Anti-Veteran Businessman in America, and General Motors is the Sleaziest Business.
And if you are thinking about buying a General Motors Product, we strongly urge you to THINK AGAIN!
Wagoner is a member of the boards of trustees of Duke University and Detroit Country Day School, the Board of Dean's Advisors of the Harvard Business School, and the Board of Directors of Catalyst. He is chairman of the Society of Automotive Engineers A World In Motion Executive Committee, and a member of The Business Council, The Business Roundtable, and the Detroit Renaissance Executive Committee.
