If the year of 2008 has said not much
else more than one thing and one thing
only to our Vet readers throughout the
year, then there was certainly a subliminal
message embedded in all of our many
news stories and Forum posts showing,
demonstrating, and confirming once and
for all, that VSO's don't matter.

If the VA is going to do overt criminal
misconduct, then Hey!, let the VSO's
be dammed because here it comes by the
truckload! The VA has made it clear,
time and time again, one news story at
a time, that they do absolutely have
VSO's wrapped around their little
crime syndicate fingers, and the
national VSO presence inside of VA
disability claims has made ZERO,
ZIP, and Nothing At All of a difference
in the bad corruption decisions that
VA makes.

Sleeping on the job throughout the entire
state of New York, were VSO's stretched
from New York City to Albany, while
presidential tout monkey Hillary Clinton
was apparently missing in action and
asleep on the job. So goes Rep. John
Hall, Chairman of the DAMA Subcommittee
at the House Veterans Affairs Comte.
who repeatedly stated right into hearing
cameras on internet webcast to all the
Veterans who were viewing, that he
had "a special relationship" with VARO
at New York City. Yeah, Right --- John,
tell that to the people who were mass
fired from the agency for all out trashing
of Vet claims just a few days ago.

All of New York, it can be said, was
on fire and burning at a record rate
while Vet claims were looted and while
Wall Street was looted into a rathole
while the whole world looked on.

VSO's were forcing protesting and
objecting Veterans in New York and
other states involved in the Shredder-Gate
scandal at VA, to proceed and actually
"process" the corrupted claims long
after Veterans came right out and
told the VSO's that their cases were
deliberately FALSIFIED coming out of
VARO NYC.

Year after year, it is always the
veterans service organizations who
are also, almost like mental illness
clockwork, the ones to come racing
out of the gate each new year to
drown the VA jackass-factory in
faker, phoney, and undeserved "awards",
like the KookBall crowd last year first
from Paralyzed Veterans and then later
on by surviving spouses of Veterans.

The rest of us still caught up in
the struggle have to stand by with
gag in our throats while this misfired
and shocking nonsense goes on.

Let your protest voices be heard this
year Veterans, and it's the only way
things will ever shut down in Congress.
Make it known that you object to
"awards" being given to Sen. Daniel
Akaka, or Rep. Bob Filner now that the
proverbial cat is out of the bag as
to who it is, exactly, that is controlling
both of their election campaigns with
top dollar campaign donations.

I think we have always known this in
the back of our heads, but now it is
out in full internet view and there
is no mistaking on the facts. Neither
of these morons who are relentlessly
asleep at the legislation wheel,
are deserving of any kind of "award"
on behalf of Veterans now that their
campaigns have been fully outted on
the money donors.

We are getting the worst of the worst
for so-called "investigators" and then
we have thos OTHER crackpot crowd
feeding their nonsense egos with
faker "awards".

It's time to leave behind your VSO
memberships and to move on to bigger
things in this national Veterans
arena.

VA has spoken, for the entire year
of 2008, and as you have seen with
your very own reader-eyes, VSO's just
don't matter. They make no difference
at all. Neither the VA nor Congress
are afraid of them, and both of them
do exactly what they want regardless
of the Vet voter, because in the end,
the election campaign money does not
come from us anyway.

There really is a problem here, and
until Veterans generally wake up and
smell the coffee of reality on this
thing, we will never really get ahead
in the legislative arena with our
protests.

Advocacy takes brains and really good
reading skills to know where all the
scams are. Knowing what to protest,
and what to endorse is a skill and
an art too.

Blindly giving out "awards" to the
very jackasses who are screwing us all
into a rathole with their dysfunction
and their misfires, and their sham
hearings and Nonsense to Nowhere, does
nothing at all for the advancement of
Veterans.

If they use the word "PTSD" at least
one time in 25 different Bills, you all
get a false sense of security that somehow
on that subject is actually being done.
But that very subject of PTSD is being
used to roadblock, and to brick wall
all other discussions on all other
Vet issues which are burning fires out
of control inside this VET arena.

PTSD Nazi's really do have to get a grip
and shut up and sit down when put out
the post that the Bill is a Faker. These
Bills are submitted, but by years end,
they never come to a floor vote and
the very next year are resubmitted again,
with the same exact result, of no floor
vote while the entirety of all other
solvable crisis in our Vet arena runs
amuck with no resolution at all.

Combat veterans in particular really
do need to step aside and let non-combat
Veterans gain some ground on legislation.
It's not all about YOU ya know, just
in case you didn't catch that. VA
disability rights law is for everybody
who served in the military, just to remind
those who don't read very much.

There is too too much talk about
"electronic forms" and "seamless transition"
but NEWS FLASH: that is only for current
and future cases. Backlogged cases will
NOT be rescued through that remedy so
it's back to square one in posing the
legislative question on what they
intend to do with all the backlogged
and corrupted cases by VA employees
who are still sitting in proverbial
mudholes across the country.

Showering them with undeserved awards
really does have to disappear from our
arena. There is always a crackpot VSO
crowd out there somewhere who researches
absolutely nothing at all, and then
in a grand race to get their own sorry
selves into some kind of headline or
misfired spotlight, the faker "awards"
are used as that very vehicle to launch
their own self interests (fame-monkeys).

It all has to stop,a and the way it
does is for all of you to voice your
protests and oppositions to these faker
awards right at the time they are talking
about issuing one.

Sen. Daniel Akaka is a complete bumbling
Idiot and awarding him with faker plaques
is NOT going to bring him a new brain
from the Land of Oz, so everybody get Real!

VSO's have outlived their usefulness
in VA disability claims. It's time to
end it and replace it with a better and
more policed system. One that is standardized
across all claims and all states, and
has police at the ready as soon as Veterans
smell the bad order of garbage among the
ruling papers.

It's just that simple.

So VSO's everywhere, put a Sock in it I
say, and go home, shut up, and sit down
while the rest of us work this system
for the benefit of everybody across the
country.
