Welcome to Vets For Justice. Our goal is to help America's Veterans actually find justice.

 

 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!

We Officially Support The Veterans Party

In an effort to appeal to all Veterans we have attempted to remain impartial and not support any political party.

Our founder, Billy Kidwell, and most Veterans seem to be traditional Republicans, while many Veterans coming to the site are also Democrats, so we tried to walk the line being neutral.

We can not in good conscience continue to do so.

The new Republican Party under George "W" Bush has set an Official Policy of pitting old Veterans against new Veterans, as part of a scam to cut down on the budget, and to cheat Veterans out of benefits that they've earned.

President Bush promised to Veto the Disabled Veterans Tax and has fought the Colonel Day Lawsuit Group, and betrayed America's Veterans on every issue.

Now we have found that the Court of Appeals for Veterans has been so dishonest towards Veterans all these years because it was stacked, and FIXED, by the Republican Party.

We were deceived for a while by the Democrats who promote that they are for Veterans. Several Democrat Politicians DID do a lot for Veteran Issues and the Veteran Cause.

Freshman Democrat Congressman, Jim Marshall, was a leader fighting the Disabled Veterans Tax with his Discharge Petition on HR 303, and most Democrats signed the petition.

Yet we went to Democratic Senator after Senator with proof a whole "Class" of Veterans had their VA Records illegally destroyed by dishonest VA Officials and NOT ONE would help us.

We found the "Established" Veterans Groups would not help either and groups like the American Legion, and VFW, seemed to be a wing of the Republican Party, more interested in promoting a Republican Agenda, then helping Veterans.

The two party system is corrupt to the core and ignores Veterans, simply sending us form letters when we go to them for help, because we do not have the money to pay their bribes that they require under the Two Party Lobby System.

The only answer is a third party, hopefully one that is against the Lobby System, and is for Veterans. At the present the Veterans best hope is the New Veterans Party.

Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever, Veterans need to put aside our differences, and put Veterans FIRST or we will forever be third class citizens with no rights, having benefits we earned stolen from us at whim.

Go to the Veterans Party Site. Take your friends, and family members. Join and help shape the new party into a force where Veterans can one day find the fair, honest, treatment by their government that they deserve.

The Veterans Court Continues to Cover Up Wrongdoing By VA General Counsel

Evidence keeps mounting proving that the judges on the Court of Appeals for Veterans are extreme right wing zealots, who believe that Veterans should have no rights, should have no Veterans Court, and do not deserve benefits.

An investigation by www.VetsForJustice.com has discovered that although the Veterans Court was established by Congress and "supposed" to be for Veterans, that the Court is nothing more then a sham, a hoax, intended to deceive Veterans, by making them believe they have a real Court, a fair, and impartial, Court to go to when the VA arbitrarily denies their VA Claim.

In reality, the Veterans Court is "fixed", and stacked, with extreme right wing zealots, most of whom were appointed by the Bush Family, all of whom are bias against Veterans, and believe Veterans Benefits is really welfare.

The numbers show that a Veteran has a better chance of hitting the lottery then of receiving a fair trial in the Court of Appeals for Veterans.

The Veteran has prevailed in 13 cases out of 14,000 !!!!

We have found that there is a pattern that  Veterans who proceed Pro Se before the Veterans Court, because they are unable to obtain an attorney, are taken advantage of by both the Veterans Court, and the General Counsel of the VA.

Hanging Judge Roy Bean was far more fair, and impartial, then the Judges on the Court of Veterans Appeals are!

In fact, records of a number of Veterans Cases prove that all motions filed by Pro Se Veterans are ignored, and usually not ruled on, while the Veterans Court actually encourages the General Counsel of the VA, Tim McClain, to lie, and falsify documents, to cheat the Veteran.

Clearly judges on the Veterans Court are involved in an ongoing conspiracy against America's Veterans.

We are sending a personal letter to each Veterans Court Judge to see if they have the guts to admit their illegal conduct against Veterans, that is well documented.

You may view the letter here.

And we shall post their response, if any of the judges have the courage to respond.

President Bush's SCHEME To Take

YOUR  VA Benefits

As the cost of the Iraq War blunder continues, costing America's Tax Payers billions, and billions, of dollars every couple of months to set up a puppet government in Iraq, our own government is in danger of following in the path of the Soviet Union and falling due to the massive debt, and out of control spending by the Bush Administration.

As most Veterans know, the Bush Administration has NOT been spending that money to keep their word to America's Veterans, but rather the administration has been STEALING from Veterans, to get money to give welfare, food stamps, FREE Medical Care, and goodies to any criminal, or terrorist, that sneaks across our borders.

And to hand out BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars to just about every country in the world in the form of foreign aid.

As well as handing out thousands and thousands of dollars to families in Iraq, after we bomb their houses, to pay for people in Iraq to start businesses, while many of America's Veterans cannot afford medical care, and to give higher priorities to Iraq, then America's own citizens, and Veterans.

The lowest priority of the Bush Administration is America's Veterans!

The Bush Administration with its bizarre policies will be the cause of the next terrorist attack on America.

Iraq had no terrorists, no car bombs, no real Al Qaeda presence until President Bush schemed with Tony Blair and came up with a weapons of mass destruction lie to scare the American Public into attacking Iraq.

The Bush Policy of allowing Bin Laden to travel freely. Allowing Bin Laden to get away with his attack on America. Allowing Bin Laden to openly brag about his attack on America, while letting Saudi Arabia get away with supplying the highjackers that attacked us, and training terrorists, while we attack an innocent country that had nothing to do with the 911 attack, has helped Al Qaeda to prosper, grow, and spread throughout the middle east, taking over most of Iraq.

There is no reason America, the most powerful country on earth, could not have captured Bin Laden within 30 days, no matter where he hid.

The ONLY way to stop terrorism is to make sure any terrorist that attacks America KNOWS that justice will be swift, and sure.

To let a terrorist attack us, kill thousands, and be free to brag about it several years later encourages future attacks.

The Bush Policy is to "sell out" America's security based on who donates money to him, and the Republican Party.

For a few pieces of silver, President Bush is not only keeping America's borders WIDE OPEN to any criminal, or TERRORIST that wants to cross, but President Bush is also hindering, and fighting, real American Patriots that volunteer to patrol America's wide open borders.

In the future we will see a Nuke Attack in America, OR WORST, as a direct result of President Bush selling out America's security, and not enforcing immigration laws.

How does this affect Veterans????

The Bush Administration, and Republican Party, has set a policy that it will fight Veterans on every Veteran Issue, and cheat Veterans every chance it gets, because in their scheme of things they simply do not have the money to keep their word to America's Veterans.

They have no use for us once we are out of the military and they no longer need us.

Their budget is eaten up caring for Mexicans who illegally cross the border, foreign aid, and just about any program BUT Veterans!

President Bush got the courts to deny American POW Lawsuits against Saddam yet supports Iraq POW Lawsuits against America.

Bush fought the Colonel Day Lawsuit Group. The Disabled Veterans Tax Group. In fact every single time Veterans have went to court to fight for their rights they have found the Bush Administration on the other side of the room fighting AGAINST America's Veterans.

Now the Bush Administration is eyeing the VA Disability Checks of America's Disabled Veterans with a lust, and intent to steal them.

Unpatriotic President Bush, and the extremely unpatriotic Republican Party has schemed and set up a Veterans Disability Benefits Commission with the goal of finding ways to get our disability checks.

One of their schemes is to take claims already decided and review them. This means that some poor Veteran that already fought 30 years for his disability may have it arbitrarily taken and have to start fighting all over again.

Keep in mind that even though it is President Bush, and the Republican Party mainly behind this present scheme AGAINST America's Veterans that the Democrats have not been much better when they had power.

How long will America's Veterans lie down and have all the benefits they earned stolen from them by politicians?

How long will be continue to let the super rich bastards that control our country continue to destroy our lives?

The ONLY answer is to get rid of the extremely corrupt, established, two party system in America and to bring some liberty, and a democratic government to Washington by supporting the new Veterans Party.

America will never be free, and a country of the people, by the people, and for the people until we get rid of the lobby system and stop selling our government to corporate lobbyists.

America will never be free until we send the "Good Old Boys" in BOTH political parties home and put a third party, loyal to Veterans, in power.

 

 

AMERICA'S DISGRACE

The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims

We have posted story after story here about the massive fraud being committed against America's Veterans by the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. We must write it because the news media in America refuses to expose the Veterans Court Con Game being pulled on America's Veterans.

First, it should be noted that the Court of Appeals for Veterans is not really a Court. It is a pacifier being used to keep Veterans divided, and appeased, so that we do not rise up demanding basic human rights.

The Veterans Court is very much like the crumbs that were tossed to blacks when they first started rising up in America wanting fair treatment. Nothing but a pacifier!

The problem is that Veterans, black, yellow, white, or red, must STILL sit in the back of the bus when they deal with the government, simply wanting fair treatment, and the benefits we earned.

There are no rights for Veterans in America!

You will not find justice, fair treatment, or even basic human rights, and respect, when you go to the Court of Appeals for Veterans, if YOU are a Veteran.

What you will find is a "Court" where the Chief Judge, Donald L. Ivers, is a former head of the VA Office of General Counsel, and has a history of fighting AGAINST Veterans in Court, for the government.

A Chief Judge who has a history of criminal conduct towards Veterans, actually helping cover up how a whole "class" of Veterans had their claim files illegally destroyed by VA Employees.

But that's not all!

You will also find that this same "Veterans Court Chief Judge" has written, and published, articles stating that he is AGAINST Veterans having a Court to go to.

So why was a shyster attorney, AGAINST Veterans having a Court, with a history of being anti-Veteran, made CHIEF JUDGE of the Veterans Court he is so much AGAINST ????? !!!!!

It's because the Court is a sham!

Congress never intended for Veterans to have a REAL Court, a fair Court, an honest or impartial Court. Is was all a Con Game to appease Veterans that were uniting, and screaming, for a real Court to Appeal to.

Yes, Congress got us again. We are now even further in the back of the bus. The problem is most of America's Veterans don't know it. They believe there is a Court where they can appeal their case.

Out of 14,000 cases filed before the Court of Veterans Appeals the Court ruled in favor of the Veteran only 13 times!

Still think we have a "Court" to go to?

In the Veterans Court Motions that are critical of the Court, or expose the truth, are not filed. Motions filed by Veterans are not ruled on or rubberstamped "denied" while Motions filed by the Department of Veterans Appeals are usually ruled on within two days, and always granted.

It's all a con game!

Every judge on the Court of Appeals for Veterans KNOWS what is going on, is part of the conspiracy to violate every Veterans Rights, and BELONGS IN FEDERAL PRISON!

When will we get up from the back of the bus, stand up like men, and DEMAND the fair treatment we earned with our service?

We need to FIGHT. To use the one weapon dishonest government officials cannot stand. EXPOSURE!

We need to pressure the media, newspapers, television, talk shows, radio and we need to expose how America's Veterans have the same rights as slaves.

We get benefits only at the whim of our government. There are no rights.

The Veterans Court is a sham, full of criminals, making nice bucks by cheating us. They are politicians on the same team as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the most corrupt agency in history.

YOU can make a difference. YOU can put some effort into exposing the massive Con Game being pulled on America's Veterans. YOU can write, write, write to news media, call in on radio talk shows, and so on.

Or YOU can continue to sit at the back of the bus.

 

WHAT DO VETERANS DO...

WHEN THE VETERANS COURT IS CORRUPT?

What do Veterans do when they go to the Veterans Court only to find the Veteran Court Process is a sham?

Most Veterans, and citizens, do not know that there is NO check and balance system for judges in America.

1. Judges can actually purposefully commit crimes and they are immune from arrest since the Justice Department will not prosecute them.

A California Judge was actually caught misusing his power as a judge to rape women. He was not charged, nor punished in any way, and is still judging cases.

2. Judges may discriminate based on race, sex, or any other reason, may "fix" cases for friends, may commit almost any act and they are completely immune from lawsuit.

3. Federal Judges actually have a "policy", that is approved by the United States Supreme Court, of accepting bribes that they call "Educational Junkets".

There are no checks and balances, and the vast majority of the Courts are "political", especially the Court of Appeals for Veterans in which the Chief Judge is a former VA General Counsel that hates Veterans, and is dead against Veterans having a Court.

Simply put, the Veterans Court System is a sham, to deceive Veterans into thinking they have a Court to go to, to appease Veterans, while screwing them.

What can Veterans do?

Well first lets point out what Veterans cannot do. In America a Veteran, nor any citizen, may not speak and complain to Congress. That's a no, no.

Elena Sassower, the founder of www.JudgeWatch.org spoke up, and asked the Senate Judicially Committee if she could please speak about a judge, and "our" Senators on that committee had her placed in jail for nine months!

And we thought these kinds of things only happened in Russia! That citizens could speak up about their government in America.

The Judicial Complain System is a joke. Any Complaint against a judge simply goes to the judges "fellow" judges, who it is well documented do not consider "fixing" cases for money, raping women, or any other crime, to be a crime, if a judge does it.

The judicial system in America is rotten to the core, immune from any kind of justice, above the law, and accountable to no one.

They are far more powerful then any mafia in history!

So what can Veterans do?

We need to EXPOSE, not just the rotten Court of Veterans Appeals System, but the whole rotten System of Courts in America. There needs to be a public outcry.

And since BOTH political parties or either behind the rotten state of America's Courts, or ignore the problems, we need to support a different political system, other then the "good old boy" two party system of the Democrats, and Republicans, that is the root of the problem.

We need to support the Veterans Party!

We need to not only join, but we need to get our brothers, our sisters, our uncles, and aunts to join. We need to VOTE VETERAN and get an independent, HONEST, Court for America's Veterans, and make all other Courts accountable when they break the law.

We need to stand up and say enough is enough.

 

The Veterans Consortium

Pro Bono Program

IS A FRAUD

After the Veterans Court was established Congress found that 80% of the cases before that Court were filed by Veterans without attorneys, resulting in access to that Court being a joke.

Congress, with the intent of helping Veterans obtain meaningful access to the Veterans Court allotted funds to pay for attorneys through the Legal Services Corporation. [ http://www.lsc.gov/ ].

Four National Veterans Organizations, the American Legion, the DAV, the National Veterans Legal Services Program, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America formed the Veterans Consortium and submitted the winning bid for all that federal money.

First note, that the VFW is "missing" and doesn't even pretend to care about Veterans having attorneys, although the VFW has very substantial resources, from dues, it's Bingo's, and bars, and has profiteered off America's Veterans.

We have contacted the Veterans Consortium, numerous times, with proof a whole class of Veterans have had their VA Records illegally destroyed by VA Officials, seeking legal assistance.

The Veterans Consortium has turned us down every single time!

And despite their fraudulent claim that they help Veterans they turn down with legal advise they have not helped, NOR given us any legal advise.

Legal assistance from the Veterans Consortium is given to Veterans in an arbitrary, and capricious, manor, at best, and according to many e-mails we have received is far less then "meaningful", when assistance is given.

So where are all those millions of taxpayer dollars the Veterans Consortium receives?

We have e-mailed the Veterans Consortium, the American Legion, the DAV, the National Veterans Legal Services Program, the VFW, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America, asking several questions, including WHY they did not assist a whole class of Veterans that were harmed.

We only received one response, and that was from John McNeill, Deputy Director with the VFW, who said they would help if we gave then a specific example of a Veteran being cheated by having his VA Records illegally destroyed by VA Officials.

We sent him solid evidence of the founder of www.VetsForJustice.com having his VA Records not only destroyed, but proof of an ongoing cover-up by VA General Counsel, Tim S. McClain, and several judges on the Court of Veterans Appeals.

We haven't heard anything since sending him the evidence.

The National Veterans Groups, especially the VFW, DAV, and so on have millions and millions of dollars they make turning Veterans into drunks with their bars, and profiteering off us with dues, and off our wives with their Bingo's.

PLUS they get massive federal grants....AND STILL TURN THEIR BACKS ON US WHEN WE NEED ATTORNEYS!!!!!

The Veterans Consortium, the American Legion, the DAV, the National Veterans Legal Services Program, the VFW, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America should all be investigated, and prosecuted, for FRAUD!

And every Veteran that belongs to those groups should take appropriate action to change the policies of their group, and to get their leadership investigated.

Those groups were chartered to help Veterans, NOT TO PROFIT OFF US!!!

We need to support the new Veterans Party and become as active as our health allows to assist our fellow Veterans in their quest for basic human rights, fair treatment by the VA, and justice from our government.

Another Veteran Finds Corruption in The VA

I was surprised to find out how little legislative bodies actually know about what goes on at the VA.

I just attended a meeting with the Legislature Committee on Veteran Affairs. It was the best meeting I had been to in a long time. The meeting was called to get input from current military, veterans and their families.

The panel of committee members were interested in finding out what obstacles have been facing their states current military and veterans. The meeting was held at Camp Rilea Military Base in Warrenton Oregon.

Each participant was given the floor to voice their concerns. I don't mean we were each given a chance to ask questions, we were actually given a chance to voice our concerns for a seriously flawed DVA system.

When my turn came around I announced myself as Karl Schneider, Chairman Clatsop County Veterans Party of America. When asked what is the Veterans Party, I simply said it is the fastest growing political party in America.

I explained as a Veteran who has been navigating the tangled maze of the Department of Veteran Affairs Claims Process I have witnessed some very serious flaws in the DVA system which are bordering on outright corruption in a system designed to protect the rights of veterans.

When asked how I came to this conclusion I simply said, there is currently over a half a million unprocessed claims that have been shelved with the sole purpose of denial, delay, and hoping the veterans will just go away out of frustration or die.

The committee's mouths dropped in disbelief. Then I was asked where I came up with the figure of over a half a million unprocessed claims? I told them about the Monday Morning Reports that the DVA puts out on a weekly basis http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/201/reports/mmrindex.htm  and there in black and white were the figures that were posted by the DVA.

Once again these government officials were in disbelief. At that point in my testimony I mentioned that my claim wreaked of fraud and corruption and that there was a serious problem with the DVA, but that wasn't why I was here today.

At that point in the meeting I was invited to come to Salem, our State Capital to meet with them for a closer look at my allegations. I accepted and a date to meet is being arranged.

The committee, truly wanting to learn more, were listening intently on what I had to say. The reason I am hear today is to make the committee aware of an incident that happened to me at the VA Medical Center in Spokane, Washington.

I was ordered by my Paleontologist to go to Prosthetics to get an appointment with the physical therapist team to be evaluated for a mobility chair. The appointment was made. When I arrived I was asked several questions, my records were reviewed, and I was given a series of physical tests to determine my physical abilities.

The therapist and his assistant after careful review of test results both agreed that indeed a mobility chair would definitely benefit as I am a single vet that needed this chair to continue to live in society. They qualified me not only for a mobility chair but also a winch system that would allow me to lift my chair in and out of my SUV.

When the request was sent to the powers that be, the request was denied. I told the committee that I telephoned prosthetics at the VA Hospital and asked, "What happens when a veteran for some reason or another doesn't have a need for their mobility chair any more? Do you have a place where I can return the chair to the VA?"

The reply from the VA was "No, just keep the chair". I told the VA at that point in the conversation that, "well maybe that is why I was denied my chair cause you gave them out like candy from your pocket with no plan for recovery".

The committee then asked, "did you ever receive your chair?" Do you see me in a mobility chair? I stated that it would be a good thing to create a recovery program for things like this. They agreed and are planning to introduce some legislation to address this problem.

I have been invited to Salem to meet with them and share with them the "Rest of the Story". So I guess what I am saying is, that every state has a House Committee on Veteran Affairs.

They are not the Department of Veteran Affairs, but are in fact a committee concerned with the actual treatment of veterans. I repeat I was surprised how little they knew of the tactics and corruption in the DVA system, but like I say they want to know more.

I urge every veteran who wants to voice their concerns to contact the House Committee on Veteran Affairs in your state and let them know of the injustices. If we all did that, perhaps we can bring about the official investigation that is so badly needed. God Bless America, God Bless Veterans, and guys never give up.

A Veteran Responds

John J. Williams Responds to VA Court Article

I have gone through the Federal Courts to sue pro se the VA Medical Center, et al, here in Albuquerque a few years ago - I have first hand experience confirming exactly what you state below.

Beginning shortly after the Civil War, the Federal Courts began to invent Judicial and Prosecutorial immunities.

Today, no matter how corrupt, malicious or incompetent a judge is, he is 100% immune from lawsuits for money PROVIDED that he has reasonable belief that he has jurisdiction in the matter (not that he has actual jurisdiction - only that he reasonably believes he has jurisdiction).

Judges have been successfully sued for money in cases where they did not have a reasonable belief of jurisdiction. A good example is a judge that publicly defames a person outside the Court room, for example, to the press, or in a case that he has not been assigned.

The U. S. Constitution provides for only one form of immunity - Legislative Immunity - in its Speech and Debate Clause. And that only extends to legitimate legislative activities.

Judicial and Prosecutorial Immunities were some of the most egregious violations of rights that occurred under King George, and were important reasons why we had our Revolution.

Perhaps you did not know but the Federal Courts have already ruled that the Feres Doctrine applies to Veterans - not just active duty military. What this means is that VA Medical Centers can butcher Veterans at will and the Veterans have NO LEGAL RECOURSE in any Federal Court where the judge relies in his decision on the Feres Doctrine.

You will never get a Veterans Party going - most Veterans are very apathetic.

If Blacks, Jews, homosexuals, women, or seniors were abused as badly as Veterans are today there would be rioting in the streets.

When New Mexico AG Tom Udall interrogated me about my honorable SCDs, I repeatedly contacted every major Veterans Organization headquarters in the Country and received ZERO HELP! This included 8 letters to DAV - I am a life member of DAV - before DAV responded.

A DAV Congressional liaison bluntly told me that since Tom Udall sits on Veterans Affairs, he would not criticize him even if he were Satan himself (incidentally, "evil Udall" is in the Bible Codes, and Udall, based on Udall-family WebPages, is the proud descendant of mass murderer John D. Lee, Mountain Meadows Massacre, murdered 140 men, women and children).

By and large, the Veterans organizations are pretty much whores of the VA these days.

For example, when was the last time you heard Vietnam Veterans, The G.I. Forum, Paralyzed Veterans or DAV do anything radically proactive these days to protect Veterans?

Better advice would be to ask your readers to join or form pro se clubs in their communities, and then every time the VA screws with them, for EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM to file a lawsuit in the Federal Courts in their Districts.

Filing a case cost about $150 to the Plaintiff (plus about $50 for legal services). However, it costs the Federal Government $10,000+ to process a case even if it is simple and dismissed 3 months later.

If you get 200 - 500 cases going every year, you will get Congress to finally address Veterans problems.

Veterans also need to organize and publicly demonstrate against the Federal Courts - publicly outing corrupt, malicious and incompetent judges.

If all that fails to work, the way I see it, many more Veterans are likely to go berserk - "going Veteran" will supplant, "going postal."
 

Our Response ?

We agree with John on all his statements above EXCEPT that Vets can't get a Veterans Party going. We do admit that the leadership in the Veterans Party need to "wise up" and seek to get youth, wives, mothers, aunts, uncles, involved, and to "appeal" to a larger part of the population if they intend to ever get the numbers necessary to win any election.

The idea of just appealing to Veterans is "kool" but not realistic. You need numbers to win an election, and you need the energy of youth to get the votes.

John DID hit the nail on the head about the Veterans biggest enemy.

OURSELVES!

The apathety among Veterans. We find it extremely hard to get Veterans to UNITE and to be active, fighting with us. Yet we get mountains of e-mails from Veterans being abused, many of whom get upset and send us nasty e-mails when we don't have the resources to fight their battle for them.

As John said "If Blacks, Jews, homosexuals, women, or seniors were abused as badly as Veterans are today there would be rioting in the streets."

Too many Veterans lie down and play dead, or expect us to fight their fight for them, as the government steals their benefits, and their rights.

We can't fight YOUR fight for you. This group was started by ONE disabled Veteran, who now has thousands of Veterans joining, but only a handful being active.

We can't fight YOUR fight, we just don't have the manpower, or resources. But we CAN stand by your side and help you if you can find the guts to stand up.

As John said, Blacks, Jews, Homosexuals, Women, or Seniors wouldn't take this abuse for a second. Having their benefits stolen, having their rights taken, being treated as dishonestly, and inhumanly, as our government treats Veterans.

If they wouldn't take this kind of abuse.....THEN WHY DO WE?????

VA  OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL

Unpatriotic Enemies of Veterans & Justice

The VA Office of General Counsel should be one of the safe guards for Veterans. When the Department of Veterans Affairs makes mistakes the duty of the Office of General Counsel should be to instruct VA Officials that what they are doing is wrong and to guide them as to what is lawful conduct.

That is what the Cannons of Ethics for Attorneys DEMANDS.

Instead the Office of General Counsel has always been controlled by ego mad shyster lawyers, so drunk with power all they care about is prevailing in Court. Politicians!

Individuals not fit to even be attorneys such as the former VA General Counsel, now Chief Judge of the Veterans Court, Donald Ivers, and the present "political lawyer" Tim McCain.

They are politicians who wrongly think the law is like a game of baseball, where any illegal tactic is okay, as long as you win.

The goal should be, according to the Cannons of Ethics for Attorneys, to see that justice is done!

However shysters like those in the VA Office of General Counsel could care less about "ethics", "morals" or right and wrong. All they want to do is win.

These shyster, POLITICAL, lawyers have turned the VA Office of General Counsel into an ADVERSARY against Veterans.

The "Policy" of the Office of General Counsel under shyster Tim McCain is to OBSTRUCT justice, lie in Court, and hide VA Documents, and evidence, when it is favorable to the Veteran.

If it harms the case of the Office of General Counsel they will do anything to get rid of it. They have hid documents proving Criminal Acts by VA Officials against Veterans in a large number of cases we have documented, that they will freely lie in Court to prevail.

If you have been a victim of these shyster politicians posing as attorneys please join us in asking the bar associations they are members of to disbar them.

Tim McCain belongs to the State Bar of California and to the Bar of the District of Columbia.

We shall soon be posting a Criminal Complaint we shall be filing, asking for a Special Grand Jury pursuant to Title 18 § 3332 to indict VA General Counsel Tim McCain.

Tim McCain is clearly guilty of violating Title 18 § 2071, OBSTRUCTION, Conspiracy, and Accessory After the Fact.

We are working on getting the bar associations that the judges of the Court of Veterans Appeals belong to, and will soon update and post it.

The Court of Veterans Appeals refuses to provide that information.

 

How Veterans Feel About

Rep Steve Buyer Chairing

the House VA Committee

 Donny Downss says... To everyone that I've sent this too, please read and respond if you can. 

This "Jack-Ass" Rep Steve Buyer, (R-state IN) is now the new Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, and what this piece of sh%t is attempting to do, is take away veterans benefits.

Are you kidding me?  I'm so screw up, I can't work, I can't walk without the use of a Cain, I have blister like sores all over my body, that itch and bleed all the time, I'm on 34 pills a day (all from the VA) and for what?

So I can rot at home, without the chance of getting compensated from the VA, for having Gulf War Illness.  Are you F'N kidding me???

There are so many other veterans who are in much worse shape than I, and would give anything to be in my shoes.  Now ask yourself, would you like to be in MY SHOES?

This is another way for the Government to screw veterans.  Do any of you remember WWII?  Do you think the Govt knew about radiation poisoning?  I DO.

How about Viet Nam, and Agent Orange being dumped on REAL LIFE, BREATHING AMERICAN MEN. THIS SHIT KILLED PLANTS, INSTANTLY, DO YOU THINK THE GOVT KNEW IT WOULD HURT HUMANS?  I DO.

And last but not least, my very own Gulf War Illness, do you think that the Government knew that Depleted Uranium and Chemicals were being used on me/us?

I DAMN WELL KNOW FOR A FACT, THAT IT DID, AND THEY WERE USED...  Anything to screw REGULAR AMERICANS.

If Prez Bush gets a cold, do you think he waits to get treated?  NO F'N WAY.  If those good for nothing, over paid, blow hards in congress (not all, but nearly all) had to work on a SGT's pay (about $1700+ a month) do you think they would be in congress?  NO.

They like their tens of thousands of dollars they get a month instead, for working a few weeks a month, a few months a year.  This needs to be STOPPED. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  STOP SCREWING THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

Please help, write letters, make phone calls tell everyone you know about this BS.  Thank You, Donny

 

We get dozens of e-mails like this from Veterans each day.

Veterans unable to work that are being screwed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and believe me Congress KNOWS what is going on.

That's why they put idiots like Congressman Buyer on the Veterans Committee. To make sure Veterans continue to be cheated so that most of America's Tax Dollars can go to welfare programs for the rich, instead of us caring for those who fall in battle defending our country.

The "system" is rigged with scum bags like Congressman Buyer, VA General Counsel Tim S. McClain, and the new VA Secretary R. James Nicholson to assure that Veterans do not get a fair, or honest, shake when they seek the benefits they earned.

The VA, it's attorneys, it's Court, and the VA "Watchdogs" are all extreme right wing Republicans that do not believe in Veterans having rights, nor believe in caring for those who fall in battle.

It's all dirty politics with those in power stealing all they can for each other, like starving, spoiled, kids let loose in a candy store with no guards. Everything for the rich and powerful!

We NEED to UNITE and clean up our filthy government. And to DEMAND that Veterans start receiving honest treatment.

It is OUR DUTY to care for those who fall in battle.

Just once I'd like to see a Veteran go to Court against the Department of Veterans Affairs, and receive a fair trial, without Corrupt VA Attorneys lying, misrepresenting the facts, and manufacturing fake evidence.

Just once I'd like to see a Veteran get a fair trial, an HONEST trial, in the Court of Veterans Appeals.

But that will never happen as long as Bush Front man, Tim S. McClain, runs the VA Office of General Counsel, and Bush Flunkies control the Court of Appeals for Veterans.

Although the law says it is illegal to Obstruct Justice, lie in Court, falsify documents, hide evidence, and otherwise use the tactics of the VA Office of General Counsel, and it's leader, Tim S. McClain, the law means nothing when it is not enforced.

In case after case in the Veterans Court the VA Office of General Counsel, and Tim S. McClain, has been caught Obstructing Justice, falsifying evidence, outright lying, and committing any crime to make sure the Veteran is denied a fair, honest, hearing.

In case after case the VA Court has went along with the shenanigans because the Chief Judge of the Veterans Court is a close friend of Tim S. McClain, and a former VA General Counsel Attorney.

This criminal conspiracy against Veterans will continue until the laws of our Great Nation are enforced.

To that end, the founder of www.VetsForJustice.com, Billy Kidwell, is going to FORCE a degree of enforcement of the law against the Criminal Shysters controlling the VA.

In Case 04-2447 that Kidwell has before the Veterans Court to expose how a whole "Class" of Veterans had their VA Records illegally destroyed from 1970 to the present by the VA, three VA Attorneys all lied to the Court, as part of a Rico Act Type Conspiracy to deceive the Court.

VA Attorneys Tim S. McClain, R. Randall Campbell, and Carolyn F. Washington all conspired together in a Rico Act Conspiracy to Obstruct Kidwell's Access to the Veterans Court, by lying about the material facts, leaving out the most pertinent facts, falsifying an Exhibit, and otherwise attempting to wrongly "Rig" the Case.

Kidwell is in the process of taking the first step, that we all should take when we are victims of Tim S. McClain's extremely corrupt VA Office of General Counsel.

FIRST, you should always file a Complaint with each Bar Association the Corrupt VA Attorney belongs to.

Make it a part of the public record that these shyster Attorneys are corrupt. Crooks hate exposure.

VA General Counsel Tim S. McClain, belongs to the Bar of the State of California, and the Bar of the District of Columbia.

The California Bar Site can be reached by clicking here

You can e-mail their director to get the Cannons of Ethics that their members are "supposed" to abide by. Naturally there are always shyster attorneys, like Tim S. McClain, who do not care about ethics, and use political "connections' to get where they are. They are really politicians.

E-mail the California Bar Executive Director

For Complaints Against Tim S. McClain the California Bar Number is 1-800-843-9053 or in you are in California 213-765-1200 or click

Complaints Against Attorneys

You can E-Mail the Bar Association of the District of Columbia here

District of Columbia Bar

Next, if the Bar Associations don't take action, which is expected, Kidwell shall be filing personal lawsuits against each corrupt attorney.

We will be victims, only if we allow ourselves to be victims.

If you want to let Tim know that you read about him here...

Tim McClain can be contacted at (202) 273-6660

Invite Tim to respond.

HOW TO CLEAN UP

The VA and The Veterans Court

We get dozens of letters each day from Veterans that have been fighting the VA 18 years, 30 years, and up to 50 years and yet are still being cheated.

We have published article after article exposing massive corruption in the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the kangaroo Veterans Court. Yet the corruption continues.

NOW we are going to give you a battle plan of how we can clean up both the extremely corrupt Department of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans Court. If each Veteran reading this article does as we ask we WILL clean up the system and Veteran will start having some rights.

The secret is we need YOU to act and not just read!

First, all we need is an honest, impartial, Court and the Court will clean up the extremely corrupt Department of Veterans Affairs. We need just one target to clean up BOTH problems.

The Court of Appeals for Veterans has only 12 slime ball judges we need to get replaced. To get results we need two things. Numbers and exposure.

1. First to get the numbers we need to have each person reading this article to actually get off their butt and to get at least two more people active in trying to get the judges on the Court replaced with IMPARTIAL judges, not connected to the VA, the Republican Party, or the justice department.

2. Each of us need to write our local newspaper. Every newspaper has a "Letter to the Editor" section. Plus ask your newspaper WHY they haven't done a story on the massive corruption in the Court of Appeals for Veterans, such as how out of 14,000 cases the Veteran has only prevailed 13 times.

It's time to FIGHT !!!!

Get us some numbers and be active YOURSELF and together WE WILL get rid of the corruption in the VA and the kangaroo Veterans Court.

E-mail the Veterans Court and let them know that we are tired of their corruption and we WILL get Congress to replace them with honest judges.

E-mail address of Veterans Court

Contact Congress and let them know we understand the Veteran Court Con Game and Veterans DEMAND an honest, impartial Court.

 

ARE VA FUNDS BEING FUNNELED INTO GOP ?

Another Reason We Need the Veterans Party

The Department of Veterans Affairs has long had an "Official Policy" of using any means to delay Veterans Claims, and sending Veterans in endless circles, as a way to buy time till the Veteran dies, so the VA would not have to pay the Veteran the benefits he earned.

When a Veteran dies his claim dies with him. His dependents, mother, father, children, and wife lose out. Having Veterans go in circles for sometimes 30 years of more results in a majority of Veterans simply giving up. Others determined to receive their benefits they earned often die of medical problems caused by their service, or old age, before seeing a penny.

Why is the government so intent on stealing from it's Veterans?

One clue is the fact that substantial amounts of VA money ear marked for America's Veterans by Congress is "laundered" into the Republican Party. Millions of other tax payer dollars is either squandered by the VA Republican Leadership, or simply "disappears".

How does the Republican Party do this?

First they get an iron hand on the Department of Veterans Affairs by appointing "trusted" Republican Politicians as Secretary of the VA, and as the VA General Counsel.

Then massive FRIVOLOUS government contracts are awarded to Republican "Friends". Contracts like the non-working 386 million dollar software Contract in which the software failed at Bay Pines Medical Center causing the deaths of some Veterans, and delays in needed operations for many other Veterans.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has long been under the complete control of the Republican Party. It's all politics and con games. And it will stay that way until we clean up our government.

First, we need to do away with the lobby system and the sale of our government to corporations by the Republican Party.

Next, We need to realize that the Democratic Party is nearly as bad as the Republicans, and to UNITE with other Veterans behind the new Veterans Party.

Veterans need a party that will actually listen to them and America needs a New Political Party that has not been bought by the lobbyists yet.

We need an America of the people, by the people, for the people, and NOT sold for a few pieces of silver to slimily lobbyists.

Support the Veterans Party!

 

UNPATRIOTIC

Court of Veterans Appeals

is AGAINST Veterans Having Rights

Chief Judge Donald Ivers, a former VA Attorney, told the National Law Journal that "Court review would convert "a user-friendly system into an adversary system."

The question every Veteran should be asking is WHY was a former VA Attorney, Donald Ivers, who had a long history of OBSTRUCTING Veterans who were victims of having the evidence in their VA Claim File "tampered" with, made Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals for Veterans.

WHY a former VA Attorney, Donald Ivers, who was firmly AGAINST Veterans having a Court to seek justice in, was made Chief Judge of the very Court he opposed!

Clearly the Court of Appeals for Veterans has never been anything more then a sham intended to deceive, and appease, Veterans.  Full Story

 

AMERICA AT WAR

Which Side Are They On ???

The "W" Bush Administration keeps waving flags and boosting about how patriotic they are.

Are they really patriotic, or is the "W" Bush Administration practicing a "Political Patriotism" where their boosts of being patriotic is really all for show, a political con game to look good for votes?

As the Bible says, lets judge the "Bush Tree" by its fruit.

1. On the same day President "W" Bush sent our troops into battle in Iraq he attempted to cut the budget of the VA so there would not be adequate funds to treat those who fell in battle.

2. PRESIDENT "W" BUSH and DONALD RUMSFELD both want the Iraqis who were tortured by Americans to be given compensation.

HOWEVER they do not want American POWs who were tortured by the Iraqis to receive similar compensation, or have a right to sue.

In fact, President Bush had the Justice Department fight AGAINST our American POWS in Court!

Apparently President Bush, and Donald Rumsfeld, believe it is okay to torture American POWS.

3. A "Class" of American Retired Military had their Military Retirement Checks taxed at 100% when they became disabled.

President Bush PROMISED to VETO any relief on this unjust Disabled Veterans Tax!

4. For years everyone enlisting in the military was promised lifetime medical care if they served 20 years or more. After serving the 20 years in the military the promised medical care was taken from our retired military.

This "Class" of Retired Military filed suit for the medical care they were promised, and EARNED, with their 20 years, or more, of service. [The Colonel Day Lawsuit Group.]

President "W" Bush ORDERED the Justice Department to fight AGAINST America's Retired Military to steal the medical benefits they were promised, and EARNED, with their service.

5. President "W" Bush had Thirty Billion Dollars ($30,000,000,000.00) in foreign aid to give Turkey...WHILE TURKEY WAS FORCING OUR SHIPS FULL OF TROOPS TO STAY AT SEA DURING WAR, and yet President Bush couldn't afford to provide America's Troops with adequate armor causing the loss of many American Lives.

That THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS could've solve almost all of the injustices being inflicted on America's Veterans.

6. President Bush had Dr. Chu, the Pentagon's Undersecretary tell the Wall Street Journal that "Veterans were harming America".

Clearly the facts, the very actions of the Bush Administration, prove that they not only do not care one bit about America's Own Troops, and Veterans, but that President "W" Bush is as UNPATRIOTIC as it gets and has betrayed America's Veterans on every single Veteran Issue.

If Bush wasn't President he would probably be tried for treason. And rightly so.

The FACTS show us whose side the President, and his Administration, are really on.

 

 

VA patients paint picture of neglect

VA patients paint picture of neglect: Director acknowledges problems, says Dallas hospital is improving

 John Hahn lay marooned in his bed last year at the Dallas veterans' hospital, desperately seeking a nurse. An Air Force vet whose terminal bone cancer had made him a paraplegic, Mr. Hahn required turning every two hours.

That day, March 21, he started at 5:30 a.m. pushing his call button, which rang at the nearby nurse's station. No one came. He pushed it throughout the morning and into the afternoon, and still nothing.

"Called/Requested help for the past 8 hrs," he wrote in his journal.

Finally, in anger and frustration, Mr. Hahn used his bedside phone to summon the police.

An officer arrived within minutes, and nurses said they had in fact checked on Mr. Hahn several times. When the officer left, a hospital aide gave the patient the relief he sought.

"Took 5 min," Mr. Hahn, 61, wrote in his journal. "Within an 8 hr period of time they couldn't find 5 mins. to turn me."

Although his solution was unusual, Mr. Hahn's story of neglect at the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center is not.

Virginia Pritchett of Mineral Wells recalled her father's stay there for hip surgery.

"I can take my animals to the veterinarian and get better treatment than my father got at the Dallas VA," she said. "They shouldn't do this to anybody, let alone someone who fights for their country."

Tammy Turner of Fort Worth also took her father to the Dallas VA. "They made it a living hell there," she said.

E-Mail From Veterans Party !

We received the following e-mail from our good friend Hollis Stanford Chairman of the Missouri Veterans Party. Hollis often keeps us informed of many Veterans Issues and is very active fighting for Veterans Rights.

"Are you SICK of the way our current administration is treating us...all of the  citizens of America....Miss leading on every hand and the Democrats are supporting much of it...
 
Consider the Veterans Party...join and support the Veterans of America....Veterans KEEP THEIR WORD!"

 

Our View ?

The Founder of VetsForJustice.com, Billy Ray Kidwell, has very conservative views. He is against an unbalanced budget, and massive, wasteful spending. The giving of America's Wealth, and Tax Payers Dollars to the whole world in the form of Foreign Aid as the Bush Administration has done.

Hell President Bush gave thirty BILLION (that's $30,000,000,000.00 ) to Turkey WHILE Turkey was putting our troops in danger and refusing to let our ships land at their ports.

That amount of money could've corrected almost ALL of the injustices against America's Veterans.

The Bush Administration uses us for war and then throws us away like garbage. They practice a "political patriotism" pretending to support our troops and Veterans, for the news media, but their actions prove they are as unpatriotic as you can get.

The Democrats are only slightly better. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi talks a good game, and joins Veterans when we fight the Bush Administration, but when we asked for an investigation of the ongoing criminal conduct in the Department of Veterans Affairs against Veterans she ignored us.

So what about this new Veterans Party?

VetsForJustice does have very conservative, and radical, views.

We believe that if you are promised a benefit, and earn that benefit, that you should actually RECEIVE that benefit.

No con games. No delaying tactics. No misusing the Courts to steal from Veterans as Bush did to the Colonel Day Lawsuit Group. You get promised a benefit. You earn the benefit. Then YOU should GET the benefit.

 The new Veterans Party DOES promise to keep its word to Veterans. They have some issues I do not agree with, like a flat tax, and so forth, but no political party is going to have EXACTLY what each of us wants.

The new Veterans Party IS for Veterans and that's what's important.

And we need, whether we are Democrat, or Republican, to BE VETERANS FIRST, and to support not only the Veterans Party to make it a viable force for Veterans.

BUT we need to also support individual politicians, no matter what their political party is, based on what they do for Veterans.

If a politician stands up for us, like Freshman Democratic Congressman Marshall of Georgia did, with his Discharge Petition on the Disabled Veterans Tax, then we need to remember, and do all we can to help the politician that helped us.

At least that is our view.

 

Court of Veterans Appeals is

COVERING UP CRIMES

Court Continues to Rape Veterans

The list is growing of Veterans that have contacted us because the VA illegally destroyed their  records, or evidence they submitted in support of their claim. It is evident that such illegal "tactics" are actually an Official VA Policy.

Veterans depend on the watch dogs, the safe guards for justice, such as the Court of Appeals for Veterans, working. For a Veteran going to that Court to be able to find an Honest, Impartial Judge to enforce the law, and protect the Veterans Rights.

But does the system really work?

Are there any "Honest" Judges in the Court of Appeals for Veterans that will "Do their duty", enforce the law, and protect Veterans Rights?

Or is the Veterans Court System a farce intended to merely deceive, and appease, Veterans?

The Court of Veterans Appeals is made up of Judges that used to be VA Attorneys, such as Chief Judge Donald L. Ivers, who has covered up many a VA Crime, and has used the VA's sleazy "tactics" to cheat many a Veteran.

But the VA Court also has Judges such as Lawrence B. Hagel, who served in the Marines, and although extremely conservative, was General Counsel of the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

One would think that despite "bad eggs" such as Chief Judge Ivers, that one could find a little justice, and honesty, in the Court of Appeals for Veterans due to judges such as Hagel who was a Marine, and who actually used to fight FOR Veterans Issues.

VetsForJustice.Com founder, Billy Ray Kidwell, filed a Pro Se Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in the Court of Appeals for Veterans with Exhibits attached that prove the VA illegally destroyed his VA Claim File, lied to a Federal Judge, and committed a host of Federal Crimes.

The VA Court of Appeals for Veterans at first simply held Kidwell's Petition, not wanting to even file it, because the Petition had Exhibits attached absolutely proving the VA was committing Federal Crimes.

Kidwell kept complaining and after several weeks the Court of Appeals for Veterans did file the Petition.

Kidwell filed a Motion outlining a long pattern of corruption in the Court of Appeals, of cover-ups of crimes in the Court of Appeals for Veterans, where the Chief Judge was involved while employed by the VA as General Counsel, in destroying Veterans Records.

The Court refused to even file the Motion because it exposed corruption in their Court. So apparently the Court of Appeals for Veterans now has a "Policy" that if a Motion is "Unfavorable" to the Court, or exposes any miss-conduct by the Court, the Court will not file the Motion.

It is unheard of for a Court to refuse to even file a Pro Se Motion.

The Court should, at least, file all Motions, and then it can rule against them if it likes. And the Veteran can appeal. That's called "Due Process of Law". It's a Constitutional Right!

However clearly the Court of Appeals for Veterans feels that Veterans should have no Due Process Rights.

Kidwell's case was assigned to Judge Hagel, the former Marine, and Paralyzed Veterans Attorney, whom one would assume would care about his fellow Veterans, and have some Marine Standards as to honor, duty, and doing the right thing.

Since there were Exhibits attached to the Petition proving VA Attorneys lied to a Federal Judge one would think an Honest, Former Marine, would be out raged and ORDER the VA to explain why they lied to the Federal Court.

Instead, Judge Hagel closed his eyes, pretended not to see the Exhibits, and said NOTHING about how the VA had lied to the Federal Courts, and wrongly denied a Veteran access to the Courts.

Judge Hagel, unlike a real Marine with morals, and honor, shirked his duty, and closed his eyes, to protect his "buddies". The Chief Judge.

There is no doubt that Judge Hagel is going to rig Case 04-2447 to protect his "friends" in the VA, and the Chief Judge of his Court who is directly involved in the corruption in Kidwell's Case.

So what can Veterans really expect in the Court of Appeals for Veterans?

You can expect one criminal covering up for another!

A "Court" where lies, slick slanted fictional writing, and ignoring facts, and evidence favorable to the Veteran is the norm. It's a joke. A farce. A con-game to appease Veterans and make them think they really have a Court to go to.

What can Veterans do?

We can UNITE and make this con game very, very public. Criminals, and corrupt government officials cannot stand the light of day.

We need an honest Veterans Court not just for Bill Kidwell. But for each, and every, Veteran in America. The only way to get such a Court, and fair treatment, is to UNITE and not allow this kind of Court Hanky Panky in any case.

Every Veteran reading this article needs to write, not just their local newspaper, but EVERY NEWSPAPER THEY CAN FIND ON THE INTERNET, about the VA Corruption in THEIR Case, and the abuses in the Court of Appeals for Veterans.

If you are lucky enough not to not have been a victim, then you can help your fellow Veterans, by writing about either friends of yours who have been cheated, or cases exposed here, such as Kidwell's case.

If Veterans UNITE, and work together, we can clean up some of the filth in our government and make it better for all Veterans, as well as for our brave military returning from war.

If you serve your country you DESERVE a little honesty when you apply for benefits.

Do an internet search for newspapers in your state. Almost every one has a "Write the Editor" section. Write a letter exposing the corruption.

Write EVERY newspaper in your state!

Ask why the Veterans Court would not ORDER the VA to explain why it lied to a Federal Judge, WHEN THE COURT OF VETERAN APPEALS IS GIVEN DOCUMENTS PROVING THE VA LIED!

Ask why the Veterans Court is so corrupt when it comes to Veterans.

YOU can make a difference. YOUR letter may be the one that cleans up the Veterans Court for all other Veterans.

And get all your Veteran Friends, your family, anyone you can to write too.

Do this for your fellow Veterans. For our brave troops returning from war wounded, so they do not have to fight a new war at home, to get the benefits they earned.

Do it for America.

 

Court of Appeals For Veterans Claims...

Corrupt, Fixed, and Bias !!!

On November 18, 1988 Congress created the Court of Appeals for Veterans, to "appease" Veterans who were fed up with losing their Constitutional Rights, as punishment, for serving their country.

For example, Veterans benefits were often arbitrarily denied, and the Veteran could not hire an attorney, nor sue in Court, since those rights were taken from the Veteran, as punishment, for serving his country.

Because there was no judicial review, or safe guards, the Veterans Administration became an extremely corrupt agency where Veterans Records were often destroyed, and Veterans were sent in endless circles, as part of a scam to cheat them out of the benefits they earned, and were entitled to.

Meanwhile, VA Employees are actually paid bonuses for cheating Veterans, under the guise of being "efficiency" bonuses, while higher-level VA Officials often steal millions of tax payer dollars.

A practice that continues today!

The outcry of Veterans, that found they had no rights, became so loud that Congress, in its wisdom, created the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims to deceive, and appease, us.

In reality the Court is a sham, composed of many of the very same crooks that have cheated Veterans for years.

Most are former Military Officers that became politicians. Some have an actual history of cheating Veterans.

For example, there is Veterans Court Judge Donald L. Ivers. A really bad egg!

Veterans Court Judge Donald L. Ivers took over the VA Office of General Counsel in 1985, just a few months after the Office of General Counsel had illegally destroyed the complete VA Claim File of Billy Ray Kidwell, the founder of www.VetsForJustice.com .

After Veterans Court Judge Donald L. Ivers took over the VA Office of General Counsel his legal team started the cover-up of the many federal crimes committed against Kidwell, which included lying to a Federal Judge, illegally destroying Official VA Records, and a host of related crimes.

Veterans Court Judge Donald L. Ivers belongs in Federal Prison, instead of being a judge over the very Veterans he has cheated.

Clearly this explains "WHY" there seems to be a shortstop in the Court of Veterans Appeals keeping Kidwell from obtaining justice as he keeps submitting evidence of the criminal acts against him by VA Attorneys, like Judge Ivers, and other VA Officials.

Can the Court please try to spell "BIAS" ? !!!

But its not just Kidwell being screwed. Tom Hubbert went to the Court of Appeals for Veterans with proof the VA Office of General Counsel was "rigging" his case before their Court.

Naturally, since a powerful judge in that Court is the former head of the VA Office of General Counsel, the Court of Appeals for Veterans closed its eyes to the VA corruption and cheated Disabled Veteran Hubbert.

It's their "policy" to accept VA Corruption and be hostile towards Veterans.

Most of the judges in the Court of Appeals for Veterans are cut from the same cloth. They are well to do, were former Military Officers, now politicians, and none are outraged when given evidence of crimes being committed against Veterans.

To them government corruption is acceptable, and "normal" as long as it is some helpless Veteran that is the victim, and not them.

Veterans need to write their local newspapers and DEMAND fair, honest, impartial judges.

Only then will Veterans start receiving a fair shake.
