Blue Water Ao Vets Vs. Va

[Berta]

Due to an Amicus Brief filing- by Mr. Wells-(claimant andf plaintiff) the VA has been given an additional extension until July 20, 2007 to respond with their brief.

Here is the Amicus Curiae:

It is as if the NAS, President, and Administrative cabinet members, are in the Maxwell Smart plastic DOME OF SILENCE, on matters of AO. This DOME OF SILENCE is brought down over their heads whenever a common condition involves military exposure. Our service men and women have to rely on Aussies and New Zealanders for truth in what really happened.

Yeah Mike-

Re: AO-I feel they also should start paying heed to the Vietnamese Medical Community-dealing with AO issues in their patients-

Agent Orange took a long time for the gov to recognize it was deadly to military and civilians-

the 2 original AO diseases- the initial PN stuff and choracne-I dont know any vet who could get comp under those early AO regulations-

but this list has grown-to include over 35 types of cancers (STS cancers)

It has set the stage for groups like the one represented tonight at SVR-to seriously consider what our Gov could have used in the Gulf War as well as in Iraq and Afganistan now- that will have long term health affects on military and civilians-

It is going to take-in my opinion- a top gun environmental specialist to start connecting the dots.

After Katrina- I did a paper for school on Hurricane Pam.

Hurricane Pam was a scientific experiment prepraed by experts the meteoreological community and it was done prior to Katrina- but history revealed this well known study mimicked Katrina-

and what was a fictional template for disaster became reality----

Scientists who worked on PAM warned NOL goverment officials that any thing remotely like Pam in real life -could cause countless deaths and destruction-

sort of like these issues-

The feds don't want to listen to statements like Sarin, or DU, or Carbon tech can harm military personnel-but at some point- like the AO situation- they will have to take off their blinders and

realise that there are many environmental hazards in the military.

and of course the only way to compensate that all is with money-

---a good reason not to heed reason.

I feel these issues from non-AO vets should be put in front of NOAA-

NOAA just had a major shuffle-big news in the weather community---

National Oceanic and Atomospheric Administration- Department of Commerce-

They have the clout and scientific expertise- to deal with effects of environmental hazards.

If I call in tonght I will bring this up to Julie at SVR.
