records have been declassified for public release. 16 years later 99.993% is classified , and the Pentagon has vowed to reclassify these records. This include Confidential Records that should have been released at the 15 year mark. They were not, and not at 20 years, 25 years, or 30 years. To protect private interest that profited from the war and protect government officials from over 44,000 mistakes made there. On February 14th 1999 I sent OSAGWI a FOIA asking for the bulk of its records names be declassified, and sent to me. I received a partial reply from General Vesser in a box with 2,877 pages, and two CD's. On the CD was the Structured database file and other part was a unstructured file. Again, only of the 42,943 files on the public server. In the Nov 5th1999 response letter from OSAGWI to me they explained they were processing the classified portion of the log sheets for me. That was the last I ever heard from them on paper concerning this FOIA. It remains mostly unanswered to this day OSAGWI database file of 42,943 files OSAGWI response to me concerning partial response to FOIA on the other 6,000,00 files. The Pentagon hides behind Executive Order 13292 so that the bulk of what happened in the Gulf remains hidden from the public. Except this is criminal intent to withhold information of neglect, misconduct, mishandling, and much worse during the Gulf War. The very same people who say nothing happened are the ones with full knowledge of those records, and vow to conceal them at all cost. The same people who lead us back to Iraq again under false terms, and created yet another disaster to live down.

I find this highly offensive. This time, Im on the agenda presenting about the RAC the last 20 years in research. Its the first time in 20 years the RAC has put me on the docket as a presenter. Long long over due. Sincerely Kirt P. Love Note: 23 years of reading the federal register every day, it does pay to stay on it. --------------------------------------------------------------- Email to other: They played me to the last minute, that it would be DC. Then Federal Register posted at 5am on a Saturday as I predicted. None of this is up on the VA website. Notice in the email it says ET time. Hawaii. I have a 25 slide powperpoint that is going to change the direction of all of this. With a new item at the end no one will see coming. That effects all era veterans. The implications here are both staggering and nearly comical. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE. Its my best work ever.

speakers and some committee members will be attending virtually using Webex.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- [Federal Register Volume 88, Number 5 (Monday, January 9, 2023)] [Notices] [Page 1321] >From the Federal Register Online via the Government January 6th, 2023 speaker of the house fiasco People are so out to trivialize everything, and how each individual is more important than the whole - stalemate at all levels. What I have seen in the Gulf War circles has spread to every corner of society. Everyone is right, and everyone is wrong. They dont feel they have to be honest or support anything. Its petty revenge. Undermining others. 100 people shouting 100 different agendas with zero interest in supporting anyone but there own agenda. The collapse of government, and society. It doesnt matter now if people are brilliant, in fact now that is punished. Mediocrity has taken over. People who resent talent because it wasnt there idea first. Modesty is gone. Cripple, resent, scowl. Takes personality to stand out. People resent that. So now anyone that stands out if the enemy. Making a lame duck congress a mosh pit of mediocrity gone wrong. This is the time for random lots, lottery. Take control away and make this embarrassing for these folks. Make them realize they have to earn back what they had rather than demand it. Entitlement? Get over it people. Its time to get the job done and it wont be glamorous again for a long time. Only, the world is watching and they are looking to take advantage of this. Too much longer, and they will. Then when its gone it takes 10 times the effort to get anything back. December 27th, 2022 Been incredibly busy the last week. Ive made tremendous head way with my Lysosome enzyme experiments. The key aspect of this was long ago with the cholinesterase inhibitors. You mess with one enzyme, it ripples to others. We ramped up one and it through off others. Residual long term effects? But, as I read up on the PACT act, and ABHOR they refer to tissue collection to study environmental factors. I know from the last year with VA this is not going on or if it is - its very narrow. Certainly not the WRIISC, and not ABHOR. Damn sure not with me. In fact, tissue collection is NOT a VA strong point other than base labs. Its considered invasive, and frowned on. If its done, its during surgeries for a biopsy verification or post mortum. Ive begged for years to get adipose tissue studies. Then I find out the new RAC chairman is a cancer specialist from Austin Texas. Talk about throwing up red flags. As if VA knew what was coming or what has already happened. I wrote the sec of VA about all this today. Here is the link to that email. Sec of VA Dec 27th 2022 December 24th, 2022 of 2006, and the VABBB now - still no public catalog of samples Long ago I fought with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology over its Gulf war tissue samples it collected since the war. The issue at that time is they refused to provide a catalog of the samples. This facility at Walter Reed hospital was slated for closing. The hint had been brain cancer tissue slides of Gulf war vets. Then neck cancers. Then the issue surfaced about ALS tied to this. The deal breaker had been a veteran dying of a brain tumor that had no where to go. Wade George. Died shortly after this. I complained to the RAC year after year about the lack of cooperation on tissues samples and the AFIP. The only game in town. They made a recommendation, and in 2006 Anil Prasad presented the new biorepository to the RAC. I even have the original slide CD they gave me on request. Only, after all these years its called the VABBB in Boston and they dont answer phones. I know, Ive called. 1-888-561-8727. There is a current disease cluster the PACT act is aware of as is VA. They want to service connect it without giving out numbers. No doubt samples of the dying have been sent to the VABBB which does not want to report it or catalog it just like the AFIP. This is NOT what I asked for years ago. This has been corrupted, and they dont even want to pretend I was at the beginning of this. largely because right now they dont want people asking questions. Where is the GAO, and Congress in all this? No one seems to be asking any public questions about any of this. Why so much terminal care presumptions without numbers to back them? We need public oversight in all this. VA cannot manage itself. We put the fox in charge of the hen house and no barking dogs. December 18th, 2022 to our plight - show it to them - and still have VA treat me like garbage This has been the wildest week of my life since 2008, and yet with all this going on VA has gone out of it way to spoil it for me. There is such contempt and over whelming animosity, over what? How dare I say the obvious? Its not coming from the Temple VAMC. With them its high praise, except for Public Relations giving me the cold shoulder. Friday I wrote a email to the Sec of VA that got attention of others. It was enough to draw Jim Binns ( RAC chairman 2002 - 2014 ) out of retirement and comment about it as well. He responded after Betty Aguillar at VA EH commented about the Pact act role out at Temple. Sec of VA was in Colorado Springs speaking to the most important VAMC in the US that day about the PACT act. That was sarcasm, obviously he was there to use VA funds for personal reasons and go skiing on the fresh deep snowpack. Rather than to Texas where the biggest turn out to the Pact act took place nation wide. ( To avoid facing me ) In my second email Saturday I pointed out to the RAC and VA that since February Ive run the entire Gambit of Gulf war programs start to finish all year long. Beginning with the Gulf war Registry exam where they didnt even take my vitals. The WRIISC referral that took getting the Sec of VA to climb down EH program to make it happen. The WRIISC exam that dragged from June to September, and after a big show end in a really weak finish. Finally, the Burn Pit Registry that said I didnt exist over 8 years and the huge road block to the ABHOR system I pointed out to the Sec of VA. Finally I got the ABHOR exam that only 30,000 others got over 8 years out of the 317,000 that applied. Which certainly wasnt Gulf war vets because the screening process didnt allow for southern Iraq land features and such. Where the CRUR program would have patched those holes. Another thing I pointed out to VA and ABHOR HOME. All year long these programs failed me in finding what I needed. I didnt get any benefits increases, beneficial medical evidence, or really any changes at all other than fresh insight into these programs. Not to mention my getting the Waco VAMC to reinstate the Veteran communication council meetings gone for 5 years. Another yawn from VA employees who resent me, and my being there. For what? Because I make them work, answer questions? Make a phone ring in a very quiet room they can relax in away from people. I offered this information to the current VA RAC committee and they were quiet as always. Go away Kirt. If you go away, we can do whatever we want. We've done such a good job for VA all these years. Exactly my point, they have done what VA wanted since 2014 to drive the issue into the ground. They have ignored suggestions the last 3 years completely and pretend Im not even there asking question online during there meetings. Till they removed the current chairman after a year of my asking them to remove him. Keeping in mind I was asking the Sec of VA via email all year long that they want to pretend I wasnt doing. Doesnt matter I was there at the opening of the RAC in 2002, and never went away. Drove Jim Binns and the others nuts all those years, and yet Jim saw enough in me to back me recently because something is better than nothing. VA did him no favors in 2014. VA knows right now the battle line with Gulf War right now is me, Im patient zero and all they have to do is keep on pretending I dont exist. They know the media is cruel now, and wont write a veteran story to save its life. They know Congress is gutless, and wont look in on them. They know the vets are all armies of one, and wont unite behind any cause any more. No one helps no one, and all they have to do is keeping sucking up public funds for personal ventures like skiing in Colorado. Im a 3rd world citizen unworthy of there precious time. My opinions and 25 years of experience pail in compassion to theres. What could I possibly have to offer? As long as Im alive, Im still here, and undaunted. Only, Im fighting for more than 3 million other vets right that will be betrayed in the PACT act role out and the ABHOR program designed to fail them. In the end, the focus is on respiratory and those dying quickly. This will be so meager, and under whelming in the coming months. I already know, ran the full spectrum and found out what others will learn when they press the final answers of VA EH. That VA HOME is about gathering information of who will try, then silence them with mediocrity. Gulf War is barely mentioned in all this, and they plan to keep it that way. The words "Benefits" and "Healthcare" are still bound by CFR 38 ss 3.317, and its going to keep turning them away in bulk. Its up to me to change this, and right now no one wants me to. OK, then who, where, when? What a horrid year, because so much is happening, and its designed to fail. It could be sweeping changes that really help vets. Not this falsified fiasco that will be obvious in 2023. I know, it failed me in a spectacular way. Friday email to Sec of VA and RAC Friday letter from Jim Binns to Sec of VA December 16th, 2022 Had no real idea what to expect when I drove down. When I got to the facility I saw no banners, signs, or displays at the hospital. Got mad right off the bat. Looked like a dead end. Then folks at the main tower started saying building 171. Took the shuttle over. Nothing on the outside there. But, lots of people going in. Place was filled with veterans and a line out the door of the exhibition room. Was a out standing turn out at 10am. Busy busy. But, not real well defined and there were minor issues where to go. The VBA line was wrapped back and around as people filled out forms to be seen. Tables were marked with numbers. Some small signs here and there with fine copy. Plenty of VA employees doing different roles but in a diffuse pattern. First thing I noticed right off. Geriatric crowd. 50's and up. Was not seeing anyone in there 30's and 40's. No wildly dressed folks. Very subdued and quiet. In a room this large it should have been stifling. The impression I got was one of people that didnt seem excited or impressed at all. As for the VA folks, younger veterans that wanted to be involved. These are folks from OIF and such with a mission. I didnt see surely military career types that often drive everyone away. No burn outs snapping at folks. In fact, the bulk of the EH folks were energetic go getters I had not seen in 20 years. Temple had gotten lucky and replaced a lot of the dead heads I had been bumping into these last two decades. Other than the VBA regional director who could not smile to save his life. He didnt seem to be having a good day. Many talked about what happened in Dallas, who put on too big a show and was hit with more than a 1,000 vets in the first 2 hours. They had RSVP'd folks, and got a huge influx. Too much for the first session. Temple had at least 200 vets the first hour and then by 12 the line was finally inside the door way. Finally, they used a break room to take the VBA over flow and had them sit in there to wait to be called. That room was packed quickly. But, it also had a kind of quiet sad tone to it like waiting for medical care visits. It wasnt happy banter or people visiting loudly. They were not excited to be here. I talked with everyone I could. Get the feel of the role out. Public Affairs folks were doing what they could. But, afraid for there jobs. When I asked to take pictures it was a stern NO. This did NOT sit well with me. However, I knew people would be uncomfortable on both sides. This time, I would hold off only because of the turn out. This was a mixed bag that could be screwed up quickly with the hot heads waiting to snap. My problem is top down with all this. Its now understood this is a terminal benefits drive. Get those dying in and something. But, I didnt see anyone that looked like that. No wheel chairs. Thats a bad sign. As the rest would find out this is mostly respiratory and depends on ABHOR exams. I could see 10% to 30% max for the others applying at most if EH was kind to them. Because C&P was not going to coach them. Good thing Ive been coaching EH this year on top down strategy and how to work it. As for the veterans? I was pissed. The younger folks will wait till its too late and then hope for a quick fix. Ive seen this with Gulf war. If its not 100% rating in 2 weeks then why bother. Do it for me. Boo hoo hoo. I dont blame them but I deeply resent this. Generally, the people who know me want me to magically do it all for them. I dont. They are living there lives, and those working wont leave work for this. Youve got to be willing to put a hard 110 days into this to get a rating that year. Take your C&P serious, get the right consecutive evidence on record, and a good claim writer to make your C-File sing in the ratings review. This has to be coached. It wont. Sad part is, today didnt benefit me. I was here to support the event. Had already been through all this with the WRIISC, and ABHOR EH folks on what I could do for my current rating. Which they pushed PTSD, and thats a somatic illness loophole that punishes vets. All I could do today was observe and prepare for the next event. help others use what there is in place. EH folks l knew I was watching them closely. They did not disappoint, but didnt have the support to drive folks there way. Mixed message. Timing for me was perfect though. Had spent the last year starting form scratch with VA heading into all this. Knew the layout, and who was where all the way to 810 Vermont street in all this. That the break down is with HOME and the executive branch folks ducking the media. Playing down the disastrous NIH study about the ABHOR registry. Its going to take time to flesh out both sides in all this. If anything. I think a great group is at the Temple VAMC if they had more support on all sides. The veteran community needs to get angry, and fight back at VA top down. There focus should be management making higher end benefits retroactive to stop punishing those that have gone without a decade to 3 decades. Yes, there is going to be a rush this year. But, its being watered down to reduce the rating decisions. The terminal ill folks get a few months of help. Then they die and the spouses, children do not. Those that arent terminal will only get small simple stuff added, not 60% or higher needed to survive in these times. 10% to 30% is a insult to those fighting to survive that dont have clear cut medical conditions you can see. In truth, I would have rather lost a arm or leg in Iraq. What Ive been fighting is sinister and subtle. People see a leg missing, they dont insult you. Its not that hauteur snide look down the nose stuff I get. The stuff I fight everyone gives up on. Eventually your abandoned even by family that wants to move on and enjoy there lives. No one wants to hear it. VA counts on that. Which would explain why so many other younger folks are not there today. There families gave up on them too. They have to fight to survive each day alone, and squeeze by on what little they can. The fight is gone after Covid and economic failure had ground us under foot. I was needed, but not wanted there. Frustrated on how to fit into this new battle field. Because its all in flux. There will be more, this is the intro and opening doors. ABHOR, PACT act, Camp Legune, and such has made VA face the music. But, these are still bean counters and they plan to reduce the cost by minimizing this out of view. Now is NOT the time to be timid if your a hurting veteran. Its also not a time to be polite to VA management in Washington DC. Because we still dont get monthly or annual reports to any real numbers. Death count is higher than they let on to be pushing terminal illness care like this. What I will say is, those going to Temple VAMC give these folks a chance. Its nothing like 10, 15, 20 years ago. They need help and support. There is a large OIF group there that took up the slack. Dont take it out on them. But,speak up and stop hiding folks. Doors are open, and you have to learn the ropes to go further than they plan for you to. We are being tricked on this role out and in a few months the backlash will start. Ive got my work cut out for me this next year. Im already ahead of the others. December 1st, 2022 away from themselves in a crisis Had several phone call from VA Friday. In every one of them I had to assure that person I was dealing with at the Temple VAMC that I wasnt out to get them. The Secretary of VA's staff had contacted them, and put it off on them. That the problem was the Temple VAMC. I had to assure them this wasnt a Presidential request or a Congressional request. Ive had two Presidentials and 4 Congressionals in my life. My first was a lousy 10% rating in 1997 from the Clintons. This was me writing to the Secretary of VA who in return ducks every problem this last year. The point was my problem is the with the Secretary of VA himself as his policy the last year has been one of contempt and arrogance. The man is a coward, and he wont write to me like others have in the past. Worse, he continues to implement policies and procedures that are harmful by accident or on purpose with indifference to input. In his mind, he isnt accountable to me or anyone else. Save Congress or the President. Completely forgotten he is a public servant, and supposed to respond directly to public inquiry. If anything, Ive found people at the Temple VAMC Im desperately trying to protect from the fall out. That I dont want them to testify to Congress about what they saw because VA will fire them as whistle blowers. The one thing its so hard is to find people who care, and I want them in place to do just what they do. Ive seen this too much over the last 25 years. VA is real quick to get rid of people who try. Im in a pickle here because Ive been a round long enough to see how the villains cover there tracks by decimation. One bad apple will wipe out a whole unit to keep there job. Mediocrity at the highest levels keeps itself in place by isolation and diversion. Which has produced a horrible attrition issue at VA. Been very busy backing up 25 years of data files from my very earliest days with the government in 1996. Proving my paper trail in the event I suddenly vanish. Ive forgotten just how I used to write the White house and Pentagon. Found this 5 page letter from Under Secretary of DOD Bernard Rostker explaining to me the current situation with Gulf war issues, at President Clintons request. As the years past the response letters from Presidents got much shorter. Bush barely used 2 paragraphs. I had opposed his deployment to Iraq in 2003 and the world knew it as global media picked up on that..I could have saved America 2 trillion dollars by staying out of it. In return, I almost disappeared then when they seized my plane at Dulles airfield to shut me up. The patriot act in play in 2003. We have policy makers that implement bad ideas, and do so without our permission. For 25 years Ive opposed this with purpose. To improve on that. Enough so I was able to get a Congressman to let me write a letter to VA, and he signed it. That turned into a VA federal advisory committee. Then I got appointed to it. Not just anyone could do that. He had to see something in me to do this. As he talked to me in person. Very few choose to do this or write me. The cowards. Gulf war vets have been punished for 8 years with the ABHOR registry. It was on purpose. I called it out, and now its about diversion. Not dealing with that. Oh, I got my ABHOR exam in a few days. Suddenly Im worth there time for that. Like all the other programs I followed to the letter all year long that fail me. But, they didnt fail me at Temple. They failed me from the executive level as VA does not want Gulf war vets to speak in public. They dont want us in the room with them except in diversionary ways. Like keeping the RAC in place so its only research they can avoid - rather than healthcare and benefits issues. The one thing VA has been adamant about, dont give Gulf war vets a soap box for healthcare and benefits issues. Let it all fail. I can only save VISN 17, I cant save the country. Its too big. But, I can show the employees of VISN 17 what there VA bosses have planned for them. See if they will save Texas from itself, as we have nothing above them but tyranny. I think these folks got that Friday. So much wasted effort here, and needless distraction. To make a vastly bloated tax fraud do the job it was supposed to. Boy, do they not get me. Just how bad does this really get before people wake up. At least its got me aware of my website and how much data is missing. As Ive lived a life very few ever dream of. December 1st, 2022 Reassessment of the Department of Veterans Affairs Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry Im pissed, VA burn-pit-registry and VA HOME knew about this report in October and so far they have been hiding from it. So while Im paralleling every aspect of it, and proving Im right VA including the Sec of VA has been ducking me. 317,000 participants out of 3.7 million, and yet only 30,000 got medical exams for 8 years. Proof VA is using this to keep vets at bay. I sent out the first article from Omaha to others. Warned my VA EH coordinator of what is coming with this. Im at the center of this with answers and no one wants to work with me, a Gulf War vets with answers. Completely sinister. November 29th, 2022 My update project now has taken a monumental turn for me. Having discovered many hidden issues. Then couple that with the usual red tape and indifference at all levels. After hours of work, I got through the Burn pit Registry eligibility menu. I had to settle for denoting "Iraq" and "Saudi Arabia" without putting down Kuwait. But, having done so I sent 3 emails last week at all levels of VA and DOD. Most were done BCC so others didnt know the addresses. Only the VA stuff was public. The point being I had 3 separate databases of information as reference, and that the CRUR should be part of the air borne hazard registry. As well as still classified data at DOD over locations that should NOT be classified. I got the attention of several people on high. DHA was real quick to say this was resolved when its not. Then VA threw HOME ( Health Outcomes and Military Exposures ) at me which two emails have been forwarded. I can tell you this is at the highest levels today of VA and DOD because Ive proved that for 8 years VA has done all it can to turn GWI vets away from the Burn Pit Registry. To make it hostile and offensive on purpose. So needlessly complicated that tens of thousands turned away for 8 years. Suddenly, Im now eligible and able to finish the survey? It should not have been near this hard. Its not over either. Now I get to see how punitive and shallow this is too. How quickly they will grab at somatic type questions and rigged simplistic responses that can be skewed. Then what? VA lost ground this year to Camp Legune and Burn Pit Registry. It has to address Toxic exposures by law. Its created a loop hole to bypass the Feres Doctrine to make civil tort claims stick to the government. What they want is to minimize the cost by making sure Gulf war vets dont apply or try. If they do, then make it so they give up quickly. We are the orphan cause between then and now. What is missing in all this is human kindness. 30 years GWI vets have suffered, and America doesnt care these days. Its devalued us. Only to find now they are pretty much devaluing everything. Which makes it easy for VA to go on business as usual. Cold, indifferent, condescending, and getting a little sick perversion out that anonymity to be cruel to others. Spite over nothing. A grudge from 1995 on that just wont go away. Been a very hard year with VA. Ive done it all by the book, and every step has been drug out then filled with back handed issues. Gulf War Registry, WRIISC Referral, WRIISC exam, and now the Burn Pit Registry. Which is why Im now versed on where all this is at in 2022. I did it your way VA and its still designed to fail me in a colossal way. What little I did get from it, I fought hard for over months. Each step was frustrating over nothing. To VA at the top, Im a annoying nobody unworthy of there time. They make that very clear all year long. How dare I write them or complain. Only all year long I think Ive made dozens of valid points that have gone unanswered. Im not worthy of answers? Really? Public servants in office to aid the population? They sure dont get that any more. Doors closed, and spit in our direction more than ever. Its a sign of things to come. When all doors are closed. Not far off now, as the White House got rid of internal phone numbers people used to call. This is not the DC I knew from 1999 to 2005. When it was friendlier. I didnt think so then, but I sure see it now. You could walk up or in everywhere back then - now they dont even answer phones. You get what you give America, and cutting off your military is the last straw before total anarchy. It was for Rome, and others. I know better and yet Im very much alone in many ways because the opportunist dont want people to catch them cashing out. Behind closed doors, anything goes. Since 2020, its a ghost town in DC they wanted. As long as people dont unite or fight back. Its every where now - and people are picking each other off thanks to it. November 21st, 2022 files, and the hideous mocumentary "Leave no stone unturned" My update project now has taken a monumental turn for me. Having discovered how much damage had been done to my website slowly over time. That others had altered it to cover up my long years of hard work. Which is why Google pretty much dumped me. Bit by bit Ive gone back 22 generations of backups to recover the original files as far back as 2006. Im stunned at how bad the website got. That others took advantage this way to destroy it and me. Will take time to put it all back. Thousands of pages. Making sure they work. Then Ive got some new stuff to add. Going to build a Steve Robinson page with the 2002 materials he handed me. He left OSAGWI, and tried to air what went on there - Congress blew it off. They were wrong to do this. OSAGWI was fowl, arrogant, and mean. They did not have the veterans interest at heart, at all. Which the mocumentary "Leave No Stone Unturned" proved. OSAGWI got away with fraud, waste, and abuse of public funds. Then left off the hook to cover up the Gulf Wars much darker side. As did PSOB's staff for them. It was truly vile for those of us that had to watch close up. Being spit on like this month after month. Bare with me, about to be some major changes next few days. November 20th, 2022 had been gutted - get it all back out there and some I had run into a very bizarre situation. I needed to send my CRUR unit data to VA EH to show my locations in Iraq - and there all gone. Not just on the website but back 12 generations of copies. No telling how long this has been gone among dozens of other files. To include the PAC and PSOB websites. My website has been gutted of nearly all its files. See, the Burn Pit Registry has a intentional flaw. It doesnt list gulf war battle locations or offer grid cords. So I could not get past this screen. Weeks later the EH coordinator called asking what happened. I told her. The offered to send her my CRUR sheets. Only to find there all gone. Took me 3 days to back track to a hidden USB stick from 2006 before I found them again. Now I can prove where I was in the Gulf war, and also get others into the Burn Pit registry with the same. Its made me go back through gigs of old data. Even other peoples like Chris Kornkven and Steve Robinson stuff they gave me long ago. Which made me realize, its time to start releasing all that. As Steve Robinson gave me internal OSAGWI records and documents in a secret office meeting. I vowed I would sit on them. Since they never came after him for having them, then that means they were not classified and suitable for public release. So now I have to verify this with Deployment Health. Among numerous other files that I have inventory logs of for Army, Navy, Centcom, Satcom, Air Force, Sea Bees, Special Forces, Pathfinders, and long list I once tried to FOIA. In fact, it should be a world record that hasnt been matched since. But, they dont keep those kinds of records. I was sending more than 5 a day for 245 days. Stacks and stacks of green receipt cards showing they got them. The server system crashed and security review got involved. OSAGWI freaked out. Which is when I got the OSAGWI sever inventory spreadsheets among numerous other things. Maxwell AFB logs, Centcom logs, and then dozens of other files like this. Then Government Reform stepped in, and Rep Christopher Shays demanded NARA let me have greater access at Suiteland. OMG, the stuff I found. By then Steve Robinson saw I was going to break the bank and he talked about OSAGWI. That lead to more and more. Like the stuff PSOB, MHVCB, and OSAGWI confided in private with me. It got real weird after that till March 2003 when they seized my plane at Dulles AF and rifled my luggage before my speaking on German TV. They were looking for classified files. Im being punished for having Gulflink all the time. Now they hope it vanishes into obscurity as the got rid of Gulflink.osd.mil. Its now https://gulflink.health.mil/ but its not up on the weekends. So Im going to put up the PSOB, PAC, MHVCB websites to make sure its all up. As vets need to get there CRUR data to get into the Burn Pit Registry. Having to start that all over again. So as of today the CRUR data is back up. Over time so with the bulk of it. Till Im back in the top ranks of Google one way or another. As there has been a very sneaky effort to hide me in plain sight. Im about to change that. November 19th, 2022 conceal what the wealthy dont like online abut the Gulf war Search engines were quite the rage in 2000. Big selection, and they had some neat properties. But, Google rose up and took the stage. I liked it at that time because it took 18 unusual words and thrust me into the top ranks for decades. Then slowly as time went by, it became more selective and I saw it was a screening tool to limit what people searched for. It was certainly about popularity, but it was also about reducing that as well. To make people unpopular, and wait for obscurity to rid selection. Then in 2020 Yahoo set out to rid me of my long standing Gulflink mail list. It was a chronicle of daily issues back to 2000. Was quite unceremonious. Like none of it ever happened. The build up to the 2003 Iraqi invasion, and the world media as we opposed troops deployment. The betrayal of those troops. The medical problems that followed them afterwards like leishmaniasis and acinetobacter baumannii. Finally the burn pit fiasco. The formation of my own VA federal committee, and our betrayal at the hands of the Gulf War Illness Task Force. The decimation of the RAC, and its gutting by VA with ringers that ruined it. So much death, and betrayal. I asked a VA EH coordinator to look up "PAC Mark Brown" which should have turned up dozens of aspects from 1995 to 2003. Nothing. Presidential Advisory Commitee didnt come up or him. He was on it. It was such a scam because they abandoned there records in a warehouse after the committee was disbanded. NARA could not find them and I fought to get them saved. The website too. They were all too happy in 1999 to pretend all they GWI data they collected vanished. Same thing with the Presidential Special Oversight Board and the Military Health Veteran Coordinating board. Up to 2002 it was all the rage to just abandon things. Im trying to prove steps in the system as they progressed over time, and this all had mostly vanished. Leaving me as the sole remaining largest archive of all this that can prove what happened from 1997 to 2022 in our arena. As I saved everything you could imagine for this very purpose. Including every email to 1997. As now most of those people are quite dead on both sides of this issue. Very little exist now of our long struggle with DOD / VA. No one has what I have, I promise you. Not this complex, and of all the 33 groups that existed that now have faded away. Even the British stuff. Many would like me to die silently in the Gulf war crowd because I was a battling cantankerous person in there eyes. Yet, I saved it all because it was proof of who said what at key times. The dynamics of the crowd. Its numerous failings. I didnt want to falsify any of that, I wanted it verbatum to look back on. As I could have finished off the NGWRC a dozen times all the way back to when VVA was ready to pull there funding. I was the last person that had there TV commercials Ross Perot paid for. I owned the domain name briefly, and it didnt cost them dearly to get it back. Over and over till at one point I was very nearly voted president at a national meeting in Atlanta - when others sabotaged the nomination. My battle with Steve Robinson was epic by then as with OIF under way. All this gone at the hands of Google. Which I find quite sinister. As I see its meant to devalue the unpopular in favor of wealthy public opinion. To silence Gulf war vets and help bury the past. Im needed but not wanted. My new goal is to get this stored at the Smithsonian so that NARA cant keep concealing what it shouldnt. That 22 years of constant betrayal will not be rewarded with a silent victory. To cover it all up, and write us off. Change American history in favor of the wealthy. That gulf war vets were little more than a nuisance to America to swept under the carpet. Im still here, Google will not win his fight to make me vanish. Nor with DOD Deployment health or VA. You wish I was gone, I didnt die those many many times. Im more like Lazarus now but in the bad ways. I deserved better than this. ![]() ![]() October 14th, 2022 I watched another product silently vanish from the stores. Just about anything from .50˘ to $1 is not profitable and goes up or gives up. This one was Southgate Beef Hash. Its now too hard to make it, and they gave up rather than go up on price. Its one of dozens of items I relied on as a poor person. Not good for me, but it was alright for my growing daughter. For me, inflation is between 40% to 100% now across the boards. So many food items have doubled in price or more. Staples beyond my reach now. Shortages on so many things at the bottom end. The attitude is, the rich must profit at all cost and they no longer care if anyone makes it. Much like OPEC and the oil prices. Its about extreme profit now. Time to cash out. The poor just take it out on each other. Misdirected anger, looking for easy targets. Road rage and un-civic behavior is explosive around me. So is the contempt people have for each other. The bottom feeders are lashing out in passive aggressive ways not realizing people are building very deep grudges against them. Out here, idiots play each other like no one will catch on. Resentment is becoming explosive. These will become life time grudge matches they wont win. Several have learned already. But, it ripples over into so many things like the quality of road repairs and such. TxDot here sabotages its own road repairs on purpose. The media is careful to ignore the credit card defaults about to happen. Well over 100,0000,000 credit cards. Thats a possible 1 trillion dollars on top of 3 trillion in other credit assets that just tanked. As the rich made sure the only way people could pay there bills was use credit cards to make up for the lack of income. Sucking the world dry. Out of a10 trillion asset base? No one is trying to fix any of this. Over all people want this all to fail. Because they want there neighbor to fail. Oh, they will make it as long as there neighbor doesnt. No you wont idiots. Because you destroyed the infrastructure and industry base so well that it cant be rebuilt all at once. Will take decades and if its not profitable people wont do it. Because it wont be about civic, it will ONLY be about profit. That resentment wont go away till those people die off harboring it. Like over 40 years. Once the poor catch on, it will be mob rules. They will work to dig the rich out of there bunkers over time to get there revenges. These folks will fixate on you for there suffering. Because rather than be civic, they will only focus on the negative. Like for 20 years and such. Waste even more time making sure that no one gets ahead. Its starts with the small things. Till all that is left is over priced things. Then no one can afford those. Each thing that isnt profitable vanishes. Till there is nothing left. All of you made this happen. Kept living in denial and thinking it will fix itself. How? Your not fixing it. You stood back and gave the devious and dishonest the keys to the city. They then purged those and went on a bender to celebrate. Because the 3rd purge has begun of what didnt sell, and manufactures gave up because it didnt make a profit. Freezer sections of stores are about to STAY bare of cheapest items. Well, the margin call is any time now. Growth economics was a lie. We are way over the line, and bled the poor dry. The very rich know this and try to cash out. Then hide in there bunkers and laugh at the rest of us. Only, people they hired to build these bunkers know were they are. People will camp on your door step waiting for you to come out when nothing is left. Thats your legacy on a global scale? People will forget what you did? Not likely. Thats all they will live for at that moment. Has been throughout human history. Could have been civic. Global. But, too many out there feel there are entitled. Theyve lost sight of what really matters. Like Putin and the Ukraine. As people will fight back till both sides loose. Till nothing is left. Salt the earth. Putin lost sight of just how toxic past invasions of long ago got. His quest will back fire on him and all around him. Because its not realistic. All around me now are dozens of indicators that people think this is a golden time to destroy others, and take what they have. They do NOT get how people will fight back, and then never let go of what happened. Lifetime battles have begun that only end in violence. Unrealistic toxic mindsets that do not get the out come of there actions. You want too much! Something is better than nothing. Your not owed people, give that up. Work to keep what you got and learn to live on less. Much less thanks to you. Not getting involved in the right way when it mattered. Its too late now. Billions will die soon. Suffering on a epic scale. Till people realize long after the fact they killed the golden goose. When bread is a luxury and they will kill for it. Did NOT have to happen. Fully preventable. Still is. But, not with these 2 digit IQ's out there chipping away at it. Live for the moment? For me the economics war has been going on for 2 years. Loosing another thing each day. Knowing its not coming back. Been all too real for me. I know growing food is super hard. I have beetles right now wiping out my gardens by the thousands. Drought and temperatures make it impossible to grow food here. Its not a joke to me. Trying to get seed stock for next year from what is left. Texans will die by the millions if they had to grow there own food here. Not even enough seed base here if they started today. Cant grow food in 106 degree weather and no water. There are things I know about Texas internally that most have no clue. Ive tested the networks and OMG. The contempt is amazing. Then you have the Trump anarchist in the wings in key positions ready to strike and take over when the bottom falls out. You can have it! Like the Taliban being given Afghanistan - turn out the same way. People wont rally to your cause folks. Internment camps? Only make it worse. You cant control undirected anger at that scale and resentment in your ranks. What if Im wrong? Great. I hope Im very wrong. Only, Ive been 87% on such a large number of predictions. The next ones Im keeping to myself because I really hate them. I really hope Im wrong. Want to be on this. But, Im a student of human nature and I dont have the luxury after all these years of being wrong. No one cares, and so it begins. Ive been living on much less and have practice. I already know what it feels like and some. Ive hardened off to the crappy way people are - they tried early with me. Those that think they deserve more than they need, they are all around you. In fact, thats pretty much everyone around you now. Even family members, Ive watched it here and in mass. Its universal. Your only fooling yourselves. September 26th, 2022 Early today I got he automated email from the Sec of VA office that my complaints have been passed on to VHA. Only, Ive gotten these before this year. Dead letter office till now. It had been a long time since I called the White House itself. Did today only to find they killed that 202 number. Things are even worse than I guessed. So I called the White House veteran VA hotline at 855-948-2311 only to find its not at the White house any more. OMG, they put the fox in charge of the hen house. But, turns out my email was also sent to them and the complaint number is 8524321. So will hold my breath on this? Yeah right. ( Part 2 of the white house numbers. ) Really? Ive had a forgotten secret phone number all these years that Donald Trump killed off? Now I have dozens of others that he had killed off. 202-456 is dead all the way down the list. 202-456-5484 wasnt among there list. But, Biden decided to keep it that way. Hide in plain sight. This does not deter me. What the Secretary of VA does not get is this time Im going to call anyone and everyone around DC like I used to do 20 plus years ago. This time Im going all out to make a scene like I used to in 1999. Till its impossible to ignore or avoid me. The last year now demands it. I think the scale of this has gone wildly out of bounds by any comparison. Im done being ignored. This all is a firewall, I intend to tear down this firewall. The one built slowly since 2008 till now its absolute. Which means I will have to stand in front of the White house with a picket sign soon. That is now on the books. You folks went way too far, and now I have to go public in some really big way. Draw attention to our GWI plight. Rather than be spit on any more. Only to be crushed by the wealthy in some new more cruel way. Cause right now GWI vets have NO representation on the hill and VA plans to wait us out openly. We have no rights, hurry up and die you scummy vets, Really? Ive been the bench mark to how far they can and will go at RAC meetings. To mistreat and vilify a vet in the open in front of others. That my former VA GWI advisory committee had zero value in the past. Good ole boy system. Contempt is the name of the game, not progress. Time to call that out. September 25th, 2022 This was a mix of things for me. The usual snide condescending attitude from the committee, and yet good news - they got rid of the chairman. After a year of begging for his removal I guess they heard me. Since I was writing the Secretary of VA about him over and over. The meeting was filled with endless technical flaws for both days. Day 2 was much much worse. I saved the chat bar session for both days including the drop out part when they reset the Webex peer. What I tired of was 3 different folks who had to control the meeting in there own manic ways. It was highly disruptive and was keeping others from being heard more. Room fool of chiefs, and no indians. Only, it was 50 armies of one trying to cancel each other out. Was almost comical at times how it came off so petty like shouting on twitter. Text bombing. Not real content either, just endless commentary. One liners to keep others from posting. Boring at best. One thing I really did not like, they still havent posted the presentations from that day. I said on the chat bar it would be two weeks, and the RAC staff said right after the meeting. Well, its Sunday and nothing. Meeting ended Thursday. Could have let us download them that day on Webex. Nope, lets treat the vets like crap once more - who will do anything about it? Certainly not Congress or anyone else. VA is above the law and its anything goes. With tax payer dollars. Then I tried to get back on the Airborne Hazards and Burn pit registry. VA says Im not on it after being one of the first to apply. Now a new road block. Deployment locations. Gulf war, Desert Storm, it does not offer that for Iraq. I knew this was rigged when you cant pull up the southern regions or the Madina Ridge. Dozens of spots around the oil well areas that dont come up either. Its geared for OIF from 2003 to present. How many thousands of GWI vets have been turned away by this screen. Search aspect only offers newer deployments in middle and northern Iraq. Im outraged by this. Its going to take me weeks of data mining the servers to pick this apart and find some on my locations. As it does NOT use grid coordinates or GPS data. I wrote once more to the Secretary of VA, and I spelled out much of the last year up till now. I truly doubt he will do right by me now. He hasnt all year long. He is afraid of me, or so lofty that Im a peasant to him. Either way, he certainly isnt brave enough to respond to me himself. Sad part is, he will be gone shortly like the others - I have to learn yet another Secretary of VA all over again. 8 of them so far for me. I liked Brown, Principi the best. Peake gave me my committee. Others have been much worse. Snide, rude, mean. Letter to Sec of VA Denis McDonough Im not going away, and Ive done it by the book all year long. If its this bad for me, how bad is it for others who dont under stand the system? How many tens of thousands are being driven away each year on purpose? With loop holes, dirty tricks, technical flaws, and just simply not having a answering machine for VA offices like the WRIISC. Its all one way the bulk of the time. Dictatorial. Vicious. People go boo hoo hoo around me, and yet they arent out doing me. Get out of my way and let me get something done. As for VA, mediocrity has crippled you. Either change path or get out of my way. We did it your way for 12 years now and its dead locked. You cant improve on it and wont. So let me have a crack at it. Ive got ideas by the box load and its based on what I lived through including this year. Your top down, Im bottom up. Only, Im the customer and this isnt working. In real business circles, you would be chapter 13 and living under a bridge. $100 billion dollar bloated failure that would not survive in any other arena with all the twisted loop hole laws VA hides behind. Your not even transparent about your budgets. 30 plus years for me of all this. I have the right to complain, What I would like is a crack at fixing some of this rather than watch it get worse. Its so distorted and convoluted now the only happy people are the worst ones still employed making sure no one else can get them fired. Legacy VA and DOD employees with grudges decimating thousands of lives. Simplify folks, distill this down. CFR 38 is supposed to be fluid. Its stagnant. Then lets cut away to fat and get to meat of this. Instead of pretending I dont exist and your doing a great job by rigged polls. I dont share your glowing internal reviews of your infrastructure. Too many upper crust going to expensive training camps and bonuses for failing at your jobs. You dont want this critique? Then stop treating me like Im a migrant farm worker with no rights. Im a combat veteran, and I wasnt playing in port - I was being shot at in Iraq all the time. 100 hours of endless moments that this was it - that one would get me. Boom. Boom. Hour after hour. How dare you insult that. Lets try a different direction that doesnt involve more years of this. Maybe we try actually making some hard progress. Instead of keeping us at bay year after year with your ringers and bogus programs. Its time to do some work, and Im eager to do my part. With some help. September 18th, 2022 and the coming RAC meeting Sept 21-22nd Boy what a action packed month it has been for me. Things happened literally by the hour. It all over lapped with the WRIISC exams and studies that went on and on. First there were 17 video conferences, and then more kept being added on. This time, TBI came up, and caught me by surprise. So the whole thing shifted on me. I had just gotten my ham license upgrade to General. Then applied for the RACES ham emergency management system. Got on the ham air, attended a few ham net meetings. Fixed a vast number of technical problems on my end pretty much alone. Then kept moving onto APRS and other systems. Found the area is a wasteland more than I knew. New task for this. New plan. Locally, Im not allowed to comment for now. Not going to interfere with the people investigating. Lets just say others went too far, and now they have a very unwanted form of attention. They didnt know when to stop. The WRIISC was comparing notes from 2008 to 2022 and found that I was not degenerating like I thought. But, way too much emphasis was put once more on psychology and PTSD. The test were highly biased with trick question designed to make a person fall into 1 of 5 categories - all meant to be some form of personality disorder. Like about 10 hours of this which I felt was obsessive and needless. You cant tell a agenda is still here and deployment health is still using its grudge match to condemn Gulf war vets. All said and done I managed to use this exam cluster to my advantage despite the way it was handled. Ruled out so many things. Positive I made a lasting impression on most of these folks. As for Dr. Barrett, his build up to the final comments was a huge let down. Gave the impression we were going to change my world, and maybe a benefits increase. Then he fell flat on me and bet the farm on PTSD. Nothing changed for me, and nothing will if I follow his methods. But, not counting on him and not worried about it. VA isnt serious about helping me and pushing me into the PTSD hole ties my hands as a personality disorder. Willed myself sick. Grounds for dismissal of other physical disorders. Somatic. This hasnt changed for 2 decades now. 3.317 fails at this one as well. The coming RAC meeting is no better, VA gutted them once more but left the chairman in place to decimate further. His double speak and back handed methods have done just what VA wanted him to do. Keep people guessing and spinning in place. Meetings get bigger and people assume they are being heard. Unless its research, not enough looked at. Neither is the chat bar they all assume is being recorded. Im the only one doing that. These meetings would not be so bad if they were in person. Then these folks could not get away with all this. The exceptionally rude and condescending committee could not get away with this in public rather than hiding online. Just what VA wants. Im kicking ass all over the place. To a silent audience. As no one helps no one is the real montra here. 2 wrongs make a right, cancel out reality. Sooner or later reality will set in and then some light is going to get shed on a bunch of hidden issues that need airing out. When dishonesty back fires on all and the hole backs up under them. I can wait, I see it coming. All year long Ive systematically tackled the Gulf war system from scratch and found it still designed to fail. From the Gulf war Registry exam, burn pit registry. WRIISC referral process, WRIISC exam system, and how VA handled me from the top down in all this. Including the cowardly Sec of VA McDonough trying to avoid direct interaction with me all year long. Oh, you can email him alright - he just hides in his office. His staff certainly do the same. Nothing like past Secretaries of VA Ive interacted with. Not a short list either. These people are as dishonest as they can get. So that means the RAC meeting on the 21st and 22nd is going to be so blatant it will defy logic. The chairman and staff will put on there rose colored glasses and pretend people like me dont exist. Which other shameful so called advocates have tried to cash in on that. A perfect dynamic for VA to remain static. Distant, off the mark. Just like with the PACT act, a end of life benefits program. This is a terrible law that VA plans to abuse as if its magic. Its really to help the terminally ill leave benefits to there spouses and children. Of course they jumped on this because it really didnt change he presumption models. The diagnoses part and ICD 9. The misisng part is quality of life for those that arent terminal yet. Im going through the motions here by the book, and VA is failing me on simple stuff. If its failing me and Im very well versed, then its really failing others that dont know what to ask or how. VA loves this part, saving money at the expense of veterans lives. How many died this year due to this? We wont know, there is no monitoring or reporting this for real. If it wasnt in VA care than it didnt happen and they dont report that. 92% cant get it. VA wins. All is well. The show down with VA over all this is when, not if. The severity of this grows with each passing week. Im still here, I didnt vanish. VA and the secretary of VA would love if I did. Cowards. August 14th, 2022 It all kind of came together watching Congress deal with Trump, just how openly dishonest America has become. How each side knew what the other was doing in Washington DC, and how far the abuses went. Just how far national security has only become a tool of the rich to cover up there tracks. Then when there fellow billionaires dont like it, turn on each other. How can I possible get the Gulf war records released when a hand full of very crooked people control our countries darkest secrets unopposed. As each President since 1990 knows what is hidden at NARA. They have to cover it up, or risk exposure. Just like Trump hinted at 911 once the heat was on him. Give the Bush family a black eye. Detract from him. Then I watched the Pact Act in play. Congress tried to kill it just like it tried to kill PL105-368 in 1997. The irony is, this is a toothless law that really wont grant very many service connections. Which is why VA is embracing it now like it "always' endorsed it? OMB and others in VA picked its weak points apart and already plan to stall like they did with Gulf War vets. To minimize payouts, care, and the actual veteran that need it the most. Figure about less than 5% even getting anything out of this, and 30% rating or less. The new trick with VA is to poison the research aspect of this, and redirect the funds to other projects like they did with the WRIISC. In about 5 years people will see this when its too late. Because, VA does not have to publish where the money actually goes. No accountability. Ive cut the rest of Gulflink off. Might as well. Veterans wont rally, and VA is not accountable to Congress or the vets. Pact Act was a bone to lull these people back to sleep. Its NOT a victory. Its not sweeping, and filled with loop holes. Ive been at this 25 years, and Ive seen it up close most of that. Clerk of the house, and HVAC didnt even warn these folks. Well, come October is the great credit card defaults of all those people who lived on credit most of the last 2 years. Bled dry by the rich, live for today as its all going back to normal next week? Keep spending. Its wiped out the poor who now have maxed out. The damage is too great, and trillions in derivatives will vanish over night as the banks go into margin call. Then China and Russia will make there moves in the chaos. Im surrounded by idiots. Watching them tug at a very fragile thread in a dozen directions. Powerless, and having to brace for the obvious. What could I possible know, Im just a poor dumb vet. I have no value to anyone. Just because Im not wealthy, and ruthless? Simple is better in all things. Living on so little. Keeping away from the distractions, and empty promises. Go devalue yourselves. Im going to focus on my plants, chickens, and ignore you all. America gutted itself, and is a lost country. Its going to learn from its mistakes shortly. That living on credit is a very bad idea. Inflating to infinity. Good luck with all that people. Im scaling back and focus on common sense stuff. As I know better on so very many levels, and Im done explaining them. Go fake each other out. See where we all end up a year from now.
