How I Beat The Department Of Veterans Affairs

I thought I'd tell y'all about how I was essentially tortured while a Medical Research Volunteer (MRV) at Ft. Detrick's USAMRIID. How it nearly drove me insane. But it's all rather boring.

Then I thought I'd tell y'all about how the United States Army is responsible for West Nile Virus in America. About the things I'd seen and heard while at USAMRIID. But again - BORING!

So I'll brief y'all on how I beat the VA at their Compensation & Pension game. And what a game it is. Very thrilling. The VA loves to keep refusing your claim in the hopes that you'll die and go away. But I didn't die and go away. Instead I won. After only seven years. No thanks to the incompetent advocacy of AMVETS.

Thanks to a decent VA doctor who took the time to listen. Thanks to Congressman Phil Crane who acquired "secret" medical files from USAMRIID that neither I nor the VA even knew existed. Thanks to months spent researching the law at Northern Illinois University's law library. And thanks to the excellent legal guides available from Lexis-Nexis.

If you're going up against the VA you need these legal guides:

My winning decision is linked below. And where it says "Appellant represented by: AMVETS" you can disregard that. AMVETS dropped my claim after my initial denial. When State Service Officer Lee Guerrero in 2003 told me "We cannot in good conscience represent you before the BVA". Yet magically I prosecuted my claim successfully before the BVA. And it only took an additional four years.

So forget you you Lee Guerrero. Who's now AMVETS National Service Officer. Because you knew all the facts. Yet you did nothing. And you also told me "We will take action to cancel our Accredited Representation on your behalf with the VA". Yet you didn't. Where in fact the claim which I successfully prosecuted yet reflects your most odious presence. Therefore kindly rid yourself from it.

You're faithless and ignorant. And I don't know if you're a traitor, in the employ of the VA or Russia or Israel, but if you're a traitor you will be found out. And when this happens you'll be torn apart. Whereafter rabid jackals will feast upon your putrid innards.

My Prevailing BVA Decision

But I'm one of the lucky few. For there's countless scores of military medical research volunteers, all with legitimate claims, who've been rejected by the VA. All because of incompetent representation by so-called "Veteran's Service Organizations" like AMVETS. And because the VA sucks. And because Congress sucks. Except for Phil Crane. And Ron Paul.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
