A few times women have asked
me the legitimate question
in pursuit of justice for
the Fort McClellan Veterans,
whether or not I have contacted
this or that womens office
inside the VA. The answer
is YES, I have been up and
down the rat chase in more
ways than I can even load into
this Blog page and the outcome
is always the same.

Women Veterans have to know
that we are entering an
era of the anti-Veteran from
this VA agency, and this runs
across the board and into
the fake and phoney womens
offices too.

More often than not, these
womens offices are nothing
more than empty dog-and-pony
"road shows" who are big
on showing up at a "conference"
somewhere for a bunch of
blow-hard grandstanding, but
when women knock on their
door for emergency and legitimate
assistance, nobody but
nobody answers the door.

You should all know that
nice doesn't work in their
airspace, and short of portraying
them as the bungling and useless
assholes that they are, it's
the only way to get their
attention to stop wasting
our time with nonsense and
to force them to start delivering
ACTION and SERVICES
instead of empty-air workshops
and conferences and luncheons.
We are so done with that.

Right at the top of the
malpractice and incompetence
heap is Dr. Irene Harris-Trowell
who sounds like a soundtrack
from Gone With The Wind when
you get her on the phone, even
though she allegedly holds
a Ph.D. -- dumber than a
doornail and as useless as the
day is long.

Getting TRUE womens rights
in this VA arena starts with
the FIRING of Dr. Harris.
She has known for all eternity
about the pcb contamination
zone at Fort McClellan Alabama
and sits on her lazy, do-nothing
ass all day with her wall of
excuses and relentless silence
on the subject.
"....yazzum Masta, I'z don't
know nuttin about birthin no
services for Veterans..."

Another Monkey Circus from
Stupidville is the VA Womens
Advisory Committee.
YEAH RIGHT !!
By that they mean "...advising
the VA Secretary when to run and
hide from 3 million pissed off women veterans....."!!


A case in point is Marsha Four
who is an R.N. from Springfield,
PA., and the Chair of the entire
Committee. She is an Army Nurse
from Vietnam and the Director of
a Homeless Veterans group in
Philadelphia. She is also on
the Womens Committee for the
national VVA Office.

Miss Marsha has been directly
contacted both by me personally
as well as one of the other
medical victims of the Fort
McClellan contamination zone,
by email. I invited them at
the VVA to personally come
meet with me at my hotel room
while I was in Washington to
confront the VA Disability
Commission on the Fort McClellan
matter.

What both of us got from
Miss Marsha was 3 full minutes
of dead air just before the
crickets started to chirp!
Confused Roll Eyes Eek

This is the very same exact
wall of silence that we get
from the VA and all of it's
Directors.

The womens offices inside
the VA are little more than
storefront "rubber-stamping"
operations to put forward
for publicity purposes, the
idea that somehow women
Veterans are being taken care
of some kind of mystery way
which does NOT involve
communication or talking to
the Veterans, meeting with
the Veterans, not listening
to the Veterans, or even bothering
to inquire with the Veterans.
Apparently they plan to
touch base with us telepathically
and clairvoyantly and we
are supposed to extrapolate
our assistance that way from
them!! Confused Razz Roll Eyes

In short, it's all about THEM
and who gives a rats ass about
MISSION???
It's like the old time Lily
Tomlin jokes as Ernestine the
Switchboard Operator: "We don't
care....we're the phone company!"
(laugh, snort)

The fact that Marsha Four
is herself a nurse, is even
more of a stunning display
about the lack of concern for
preservation of human life,
and the self-absorbed malpractice
that is literally FLOODING
out of the VA like the broken
levees of New Orleans.

We can only stand around and
GUESS how many really died
in Vietnam at the hands
of such a "nurse". We are
entering the sad new era
where we all have to stand
back and sort out whether
we are looking at angels of
mercy, or diva's of death.

Viewing medical patients
as "prey" for personal
gain is the cultural mindset
of the day at the VA agency,
and the only way to address
it from our side is to swing
the pendulum the other way
and start calling for the
FIRING of all of them, plus
the full CLOSIING of their
offices so as to collapse the
phoneyness of grandstanding
and fake website pages which
are relentlessly put in the
face of news media reporters
everywhere.

Enough Already!
Kick assess and collect names
as we boldly march forward
in the name of justice.

The whole idea of women veterans
being "homeless" is yet
another overused CHARADE that
everyone has to get real on.
There are none, and if there
are, they are either their
voluntarily (you couldn't get
them out with a crowbar if
you wanted to) OR they are there
by way of lawful addiction,
eviction, and refusal to comply
with regular housing standards.
Who wants to be bothered with
such a small number who have
thrown themselves into a
voluntary garbage pit?

There are way, way, way,
too many resources allocated
under the concept of "homeless
veterans" and entire workshops,
conferences, and other do-no-real-
WORK efforts which is put on by
the VA is little more than an
empty fairytale with no real numbers
to back them up. Lazy types
who want "quick prestige" without
any work burden, will always lock
into the homeless issue like Marsha
Four.

It's also a phoney excuse for
the VA Hospital workers themselves
to "pretend" they are doing
something legitimate when
they are in fact, chasing an
empty fairy tale at best. I
know this because I am in the
housing arena myself and I
live just 2 blocks from the
City Mission. It's all baloney
and the rest of you need to
know this. I have also attended
these phoney homeless Stand
Down's and everyone EXCEPT
the homeless shows up for them
with their designer haircuts
at $35 a pop, and their fashion
clothes and jackets.

To hear them all talk, there
is a homeless woman veteran
every 3 feet in every city in
the country! When was the last
time YOU saw one begging
for nickels on a street corner??
It isn't there.

In the meantime, the thousands
upon thousands of us who DO
need real and legitimate
emergency, Code Red, MayDay
type assistance receives Zero,
Zip, and the sound of the clock
ticking in the background.
(tick....tick....tick...)

There is NO real measure of
action or success coming
from these fake and phoney
womens offices at the VA.
Obviously, if they do not
even ANSWER emails, faxes, or
phone calls to Veterans themselves,
then how can they POSSIBLY be
doing anything in our name??
Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Eek

Fire the rubberstampers, as
they are likely tied to political
parties anyway and are just
there for the show. And close the
dam offices because they are
sucking up our disabilty money
for a bureacratic puppet show
whose only mission is to make
the VA Secretary look far better
than HE really is!
o-o-o-o-o-r-r-a-a-a-h !!
