The recent SHAM of a "roundtable meeting"
at the House Veterans Affairs Committee
regarding recently found shredded veterans
claims documents at 4 different VA
locations has raised some serious questions
about Committee Chairman Bob Filner
and his own sorry display of major
Disconnect that is going on in the House.

If you would like to see that SHAM
hearing, then go to the Committee's
website at www.house.gov and then
when you get to the Committee page,
click on the WEBCAST feature on the
left side of the screen. Unfortunately
I cannot generate a LINK for you there
because it is video.

This hearing was a stunning display
of the Testosterone Factory that rules
the Veterans kingdom. Not a single
woman Veteran sitting at the table,
and the grand Bum-Rush by the House
just "assuming" that the VSO's themselves
had no hand at all in the trashed
claims coming from both Shredder-Gate
and also, the mass firing that took
place at the VA Regional Office in
New York City for claims falsifications.

There really is a problem here with
the 2 Chairmen of both the House
and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees
living in a Bubble rooted in delusions
and denial about VSO's, the VA generally,
and how to actually probe and investigate
what is exactly going on in Veterans
claims.

Neither of the Chairmen seem to listen
to the public. Both seem to pander
to "articles" that they find even
if the articles are incompetently written
or are not from a source who actually
comprehends the complexity of the
VA disabilty system.

In keeping with the companion article
that I posted below under Senator
Daniel Akaka's name, all of this
brought me to the same question,
Who Is Controlling Filner ??

Well I went out to take a look,
and just like the Senate, the answer
is: Not the Veterans.

It seems in this case of Rep. Bob
Filner of California, he is controlled
by the "Healthcare Workers". This
almost certainly points to VA Workers
for sure, don't ya think? VA Workers
can belong to any trade association
that they want to, and who else but
VA workers would be interested in
the only 2 Committees that Bob Filner
sits on: Transportation and Veterans
Affairs ??

Also in a likeness to who is controlling
Sen. Daniel Akaka, it seems that the
Pipefitters, Plumbers and Trade Unions
all have a piece of the action in both
Veterans Committee Chairmen.

After an entire 2007 legislative session
of literally pounding Filners FAX to
sponsor a Bill to end the horrific
patient abuse process at the VA known
as Presumptive Service Connected
Statusing and to replace it with
something rational, humane, and more
conducive to a hospital medical patient
or disability environment, no what
we got was tons upon tons of Overkill
Bills for mental illness and PTSD
which is actually the smaller population
of our national patient group.

Yes it can be said that Bob Filner
is the "other" Chairman La-La Land
sitting at the House so that he can
occassionally wave over to the original
Chairman La-La Land at the Senate,
Daniel Akaka.

These 2 Capitol Hill Committees are
all over the place in legislation
EXCEPT on-target and hitting home
runs. It's like Laurel and Hardy goes
to Washington down there, and may
the Veterans caught in the trap
be dammed.

This Buffoon To Nowhere also believes
he is a Legend In His Own Mind and
somehow thinks that he is reelected
back into office because he is actually
doing a "good job" on this committee.
Not so.

We had our eyes everywhere in this last
election with emphasis on the Jerk-Offs
who are tanking the system in every
which way and here is what we found
as the leading top excuses why they
get re-elected (take notes because I
may not have the chance to repeat
this again to you readers):

1. Nobody runs against them

2. A jackoff even bigger than the
incumbent runs against them

This is a far and screaming cry from
saying "Yes we think you are doing a
stellar job, therefore you should be
re-elected.!!"

But again, Bob Filner is a Legend In
His Own Mind so he will continue taking
the rest of us along for the ride,
even though we are enduring that ride
kicking and screaming every mile of
the way.

To that end, this is what Chairman
La-La Land at the House, had to say
about his renewed appointment as
Veterans Committee Chairman (in his
own words, I might add):


Filner Re-elected Chair of House Vets Committee


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 20, 2008

Washington, D.C. – Today, the Democratic Caucus voted to re-elect Congressman Bob Filner as Chair of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Filner will serve his second term as Chairman in the upcoming 111th Congress, which begins on January 6, 2009.

Filner commented: “I am grateful to my Democratic colleagues for supporting me as Chair of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve our nation’s veterans and I appreciate the support of the Caucus.

“We made significant progress in caring for our veterans over the past two years, but much remains to be done. A new basis of stable funding must be developed. The claims backlog must be attacked in a new way. And the mental health of our veterans – both old and new – must remain a high priority.

“I am looking forward to working with a dynamic new Secretary of Veterans Affairs in the Obama Administration to achieve these aims.”

End of Filner Release


As we get cocked and loaded and ready
to go storming into this next legislative
session like gangbusters to advance our
Veterans-First agenda, always keep
that LINK that I just gave to you above,
in the back of your heads as to the
REAL reason why there is such a Brick
Wall of LunkHeadedNess at the House
Veterans Affairs Committee. We are
tilting swords with a VA workers PUPPET
who is not interested in the least
about installing an appropriate POLICE
system that will allow Veterans to
complain, investigate, convict and
prosecute, or just plain FIRE VA
employees for any reason.

This charade is one more outrage on the
sick and dying backs of Veterans,
where this Jackass from La La Land
is first rigging his own election
campaign with VA workers, and then
touting the idea that he is re-elected
because he is then doing so an outstanding
job to the Veterans who have no say
or money in the process whatsoever.

I rest my case everybody because the
LINK above that I just gave to you,
doesn't lie.
