Feres Is Being Attacked In New Lawsuit

[Testvet]

I know many of you know I am one the Edgewood Veterans and I have some really bad things to say about the Army, the VA and the CIA but the lawyers that are handling the Edgewood Testvets lawsuit for the VVA and Plow to Plowshares amended the complaint on 7 June 2010 and I read things in the new complaint that I had heard about but wasn;t really sure about "septal implants" yea right that only happens in the movies right? No it turns out the lawyers found the Doctors name that did them and that he was funded by DARPA read the entire complaint I knew about most of it and I could NOT stop reading it. VA Watchdog posted it last night I didn't even get a heads up from the lawyers.

http://www.vawatchdog.org/10/nf10/nfjun10/nf060810-4.htm click on new complaint and read it better than most books all I can do is shake my frickin head and that is saying a lot but if the Supreme Court won't over turn FERES after getting this case then they never will

John then if congress IS that stupid they need to go on the record with their votes but if any court case is going to make the Supreme Court to finally repeal FERES this one screams for justice then let Congress stick it to the veterans then the nation will KNOW who it is instead of hiding behind the Judges........

Don't get me wrong. Feres is an abomination. I just think that whatever the court does the congress will undo because billions of dollars are on the line. You were a postal worker. You know that FECA lets the civilain federal government absolve itself of injuries to employees even if agency is grossly negligent. They just pay workers compensation even if they sent you out on route with no brakes and they knew it. The governmetn protects itself.

John I remember when the Post Office bought us big tricycle's back in the early 80s to deliver mail instead of using jeeps it was a "test" using relay boxes it lasted about a month the only thing worse than being in a jeep riding down the street delivering mail is riding down the same street on a huge tricycle and have some car slam into you the post office had no respect for employees and I doubt it has improved since I left in May 2000. I have had 2 carriers on my route retire on SSD, and VA pensions since I moved in to this house must be in the water rofl

ME TOO -he has got them by the goooooooon yats.I hope.

This stuff should be first page headlines on every major newspaper- of course it won't be-

our grateful nation is grateful to vets I am sure but they are also forgetful of their sacrifices and this situation is an absolute National Travesty.

Edgewood, AO, DU, SHAD,LeJeune ---- cover ups galore.

Isn't there much evidence that the chemical companies and the military knew that AO was dangerous. They went right ahead and used it anyway. Now they pay compensation to victims of premeditated murder. No one in government went to jail and nobody at DOW was hung by the neck. If exposing 3 million military members to AO is not a war crime what would be? I hope he suit against Feres succeeds.

John I agree about the issues about AO who can't it's to dang obvious but the lawyers that dealt with those lawsuits made the deals to take the money I don't know if any of the AO lawsuits ever tried to overturn Feres Gordon has already been told by the Judge in previous filings that she does NOT want to address any FERES issues, this 3rd filing is to filled with facts about DARPA, the VA, etc that if the Federal Judge tosses it, then it will be appealed to 9th Circuit and then on to SCOTUS I wonder if I will even live long enough to see that day come But I do have to admit when I first heard the brain implant story about 4 years ago I had a real hard time believing that, now Erspamer has found the doctor who did it and who he was working for at the time DARPA and that the VA itself was conducting experiments using some of the same substances the VA still does a lot of clinical "trials" my shrink won't even ask me about "volunteering" again for any of them, I think there is a note somewhere in the computer files about me and experiments even the PC docs won't ask to to sign up for any of the clinical trials......we know that some medical research is necessary for cures but what is for the "good of the patient" and what is just plain BS and the researchers don't care about the short or long term effects on the "volunteers" it just leaves to much wiggle room for them to abuse veterans again I know it's needed but Ijust can't bring myself to ever sign a "waiver" for the govt again I wrote that blank check once in Oct 1973 when I enlisted and then in May 1974 when I "volunteered" for Edgewood NEVER AGAIN
