Sailor, Rest Your OarsIt made you proud to be an American. Bloggers had tributes and war stories and kind words to celebrate Veterans Day.

But not all blogs.

Our friends at the liberal AmericaBlog had this lead post this morning:

Friday Morning Open Thread

by Joe in DC – 11/11/2005 07:09:00 AM

It’s Veterans Day…one of those holidays that some people get, but not everyone….

Long weekend or not?

Conservatives measure sacrifice by loss of life and limb. Liberals value sacrific only if there’s a day off.

    The U.S. Senate veterans Report on the Ref: [14] website almost says it all. Who’s been in power for the last 11 years? David H. B. Marshall, 12/5/05 28 Meadowview Rd., Wayland, MA., 01778, TEL: 508-877-0461

    Emphasis & paraphrasing throughout.

    IT IS AN 11 YEARS from the 1994 U.S. Senate?s stated (in accord with the U.S. Supreme Court?s 1987 STANLEY decision [5]) that: 1. The Dept. of Defense (DOD) be held accountable for their now 61 years from 1944 MANY ?EXPERIMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO HARM?! And 2. The injured subjects should be allowed Judicial redress NOT prevented as an ?incident to service? [13]![14, pages 4 & 35 para. G.] IN 2005 STILL WITHHELD ARE A VETERAN?S PRIOR TO SERVICE RIGHTS THAT ARE GIVEN TO CONVICTED RAPISTS AND MURDERERS!![7] The 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed most of the experimental subject?s service documents. Congress?s 1974 Privacy Act censored all co-subject identity from those that survived. Suggested is that the post-1987 STANLEY restrictions effectively negate these 2005 to 1944 acts with now no Judicial Branch oversight. And as they are conducted under the cover of our nations anguish that THEY CONTINUE! Is a LOVED ONE SO INJURED on the attached list of 78? THEIR DELIBERATE HARM IS BY A JET-ENGINE SOUND PRESSURE EXPERIMENT:

    Recorded in 1952 and published July 1956 is the at a radius of 50 feet 158 dB. ?Noise? level to a 176 dB. level F-86D?s General Electric (GE) J47 jet-engine in the DOD?s ?A Compilation of Turbojet Noise Data?![1] Documented by the USAF Physician’s 1/29/54 Cadet washout exam?s, “Had some trouble with hearing while working on warm-up crew for F86-D with very high noise levels.?[11] A for each 6 dB. increase in ?Noise? level sound pressure doubles, 60 dB. 0X NORMAL LEVEL, the 90 dB. 32X HEARING LOSS and the 130 dB. 3,413X JET-ENGINE INJURY American Medical Association criteria is in its Family Medical Guide 3d. Edition page 365. In 2005 still negated are the consequences of the recorded then known 1952 to 1956 certain injury of an unprotected jet-engine 87,381X (158 dB.) Sound Pressure Multiple to a 699,051X+(176 dB.) Multiple Subjugation![1] This then known certain injury is in direct disobedience of the DOD Secretary?s 1953 order.[2] Four years earlier, 1949, is just one example of the from 1936 Research & Developed (R&D) ?Noise? protections in the filmed initial flights of the 1st. commercial jet-aircraft the British Comet.[3] The U.S. Senate ?designed to harm? DOD then known from 1936 lesson learned means of certain injury is its 1952 ?Turbojet Noise? with its also 1952 preplanned 1955 ?ACOUSTIC NOISE CONTROL? [4]! The end result was a 6 years later version of the 1949 ?Noise? protection of a DOD 1955 ?EAR DEFENDERS? [4]! The non-consenting, subjects were disabled by repeated scientific protocol certain injury trials. Recorded are the experiment?s multiple overall trial results with the duplicated prevention of ?to harm?! Six months after the 6/25/87 U.S. Supreme Court STANLEY?congress is responsible for? DOD experiments [5] is the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) VA 12/7/87 defective governing ?schedule…for? [DOD] ?disabilities? retroactive to 23 March 1956 ?Diseases of the Ear?. A Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) Title 38, Ch. 1, Part 4 finessing of the since 1936 jet-engine well known by 1949 cause & effects 1952 to 1956 DOD ?designed to harm? results. Which is a 12/7/87 after 156 years of R&D experience ?schedule? manipulation and omission of the known 1952 policy cause and its ?Ear? ?disabilities?, e.g., overlooked were 2,838 references from 1831 with hundreds of ?HEARING PROTECTION? citations prior to 1987!![16] Confirming that the errors and experimentations will not be addressed is the 12/8/88 established veterans court Chief Judge?s 1994 ?NO TEETH?,?The court may not review the schedule of ratings for disabilities or the policies underlying the schedule.?[8] Which means that there is not now or in the future a likely revisiting of the 6/25/87 U.S. Supreme Court DOD ?designed to harm? issue. The 1987 post-STANLEY result is a capturing of all experimental subjects within the VA?s unaccountable for ?policies? caused ?disabilities? must be exhausted administrative procedure.[15, Title 38, 511(a)] It is an 18 years later ?for the greater good end justifies the means? effective approval by a few in congress of all past, present and future ?EXPERIMENTS…DESIGNED TO HARM?! The means by which this no accountability is taken advantage of during the VA disability process is outlined in THE SUPPORTING RECORD. The 1994 U.S. Senate Report noted a DOD preventing from being ?associated with their military service? this from 1944 should be but to-date not corrected to harm experiments. This is duplicated by the VA?s Agency of Original 7/9/57 Boston, MA Jurisdiction (AOJ) during an ongoing 14 of 48 years, with no end in sight, of this subject?s four (4) of the Chief Judge?s ?if you don?t like it?appeal it?.[8] The 4th ?appeal it? is a 3/4/05 awarded Menieres disease 60% disability retroactive to 8/11/94 not 5/21/56. The AOJ laymen have refused to recognize that their 7/9/57 hearing loss 10% disability is only one of its ?CLEARLY ARE DOCUMENTED in his service record? [11] symptoms. They have not addressed, kept from their own medical personnel and the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) their 5/7/57 requested, stamped as 6/3/57 received 6/25/52 to 5/21/56 in-service record ?to harm? evidence. Ignored has been the from 1991 thirty eight (38) times submitted veteran retained 5/21/56 evidence. 48 YEARS LATER rediscovered were their 6/3/57 in-hand ORIGINAL typewritten service documents that were specifically medically witnessed, identified and on 8/1/05 recorded! A 2005 FIRST TIME VERIFICATION OF THE AOJ?S LAYMEN FROM 7/9/57 UNTIL 8/1/05 (NOTED ON 10/5/94 BY A VA CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR AS MISPLACED) WITHHOLDING AND CONTRAVENTION OF BOTH THEIR OWN PHYSICIAN?S 6/26/57 ?NO VESTIBULAR FUNCTION? WITH ITS EXPERIMENT REVEALING USAF SURGEON HQ AARC 6/25/58 ?PERMANENTLY MEDICALLY DISQUALIFIED FOR MILITARY SERVICE?![11]

    THE TEST GROUPS.

    The USAF Test Group was the Tyndall AFB, Panama City, Fla., 3632nd. Sqd. F-86D Test Flight section.[11] The USN Test Group was at the Corpus Christi Navel Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas.[3] The USAF Test Group was 3 – 5 teams. The cockpit man used earphones and a throat microphone, the two prime subjects on the ground had no ?Noise? protection. 1,000?s of other injured Tyndall USAF & Corpus Christi USN flight line personnel also were not provided with protection unlike for those at other bases, on aircraft carriers and at commercial facilities. German, British, Russian, Japanese and American films & literature document the 1936 to 1949 ?noise control? during the operation of ?Turbojet? aircraft, i.e., protecting changes in pilot headgear, for passengers and for flight line personnel.[3]

    THE ?WARM-UP? EXPERIMENTATION TRIALS.

    Under the deception of Test Flight preparation the F-86D was taxied to a remote section of the base and parked within the center of a circle. During many 1952-1956 trials the J47 engine was run from 87,381X through a range of throttle settings to the max. power of ?afterburner takeoff? at 699,051X+. A formal written procedure was on a board clipped to the leg while in the cockpit. The Crash/Fire Control Tower was informed of when at each designated throttle setting. The 2 on the ground unprotected primary test subjects performed visual ?hands on? inspection of different parts of the aircraft during the various settings, e.g., the 2-3 feet away from the J47 inspection of wheel well systems with the 1952 known 50 foot away lowest 87,381X setting vs. the 3,413X jet-engine injury and 32 X danger of hearing loss! The Base Control Tower was only contacted when going into afterburner and for permission to taxi. One source said, ?It isn?t a question of serious injury, but how much!? On the energy levels involved he stated, ?How many ?A? bombs does it take to kill one person!?

    THE SUPPORTING RECORD.

    One veteran representative committed suicide, a second was given early retirement and a third resigned. With their help and that of many others, a lesson learned was that not due to vision or extreme stress is persistent tinnitus and progressively worse ?dizziness?, ?disorientation?, ?nausea?, ?dry heaves? (sick&dizzy) attacks with ?difficulty with balance?.[11] Some of the veteran 5/21/56 retained and 1991 to-date many times submitted facts are: The 7/1/52 ?O/K for A/C? (Aviation Cadets) with perfect health including eye sight and hearing. Followed by the 11/20/52 acoustic trauma ?nausea? and ?Blurring? of vision unprotected jet mechanic?s training receipt of cause diverting ?reading glasses?. In direct disobedience of the DoD Secretary?s 2/26/53 order [2] a pre-Cadet jet-engine subjugation 8 DAY 5/27/53 to 6/3/53 sick & dizzy hospitalization. On 7/4/53 a concealing OK for flying exam. This is documented by the USAF Physician’s 1/29/54 Cadet Wing Commander washout exam?s, “Had some trouble with hearing while working on warm-up crew for F86-D with very high noise levels.? And the 2/1/54 ?it is unusual to find such a severe deafness?! DOD falsely recorded as a hospitalization for a ?4 DAY COLD? and ?NORMAL HEARING? on the 5/21/56 Separation from Service!

    The after Cadet experiment continuation is proven by both of the USAF Physician?s 7/29/54 get him off the flight line memo! And the year later also ignored 7/21/55 do not expose to ?loud acoustic trauma?. On 5/7/57 the Boston VA Regional Office requested and stamped as 6/3/57 received the 6/25/52 to 5/21/56 in-service record ?to harm? [14] evidence. Then their own VA Physician?s 6/26/57 acoustic trauma resultant ?no vestibular function?. The 699,051 X+ sound pressure and consequences negation is by their VA RATING BOARD?s original 7/9/57 award of a 32 X hearing loss 10% disability. THIS IS VERIFIED BY: Their to-date ignored USAF SURGEON 6/25/58 ?permanently medically disqualified for military service? resulting from their physician?s directly submitted 6/26/57 evidence! A DOD covering up and disarming 1/29/59 Honorable Discharge, not medical, ?recommended for reenlistment? ?Yes?! In 1959 the continuing sick & dizzy attacks resulted in not realizing a third generation medical practice. A VA 6/9/65 noted jet-engine ?acoustic trauma? exam?s overlooked sick & dizzy complaints. Over 1,200 connecting facts, 12 DoD, & 13 VA, HMO audiograms with 40 exams establish these from 1952-1956 in-service attacks. Progressively worse increases in frequency, intensity & duration with ?dry heaves? resulted in going to HMO physicians their recommendations & the 1991 VA reopening of the 1957 case, e.g., a 3/7/94 HMO Menieres disease diagnosis. Then the 10 years HMO letter of 4/20/94 to March 1984 not vision related ?difficulty with balance?, ?dizziness? and ?disorientation?! On 8/2/95 a VA Hearing Officer certified the handed to him records [11] for review. The Boston VA ENT Chief?s 9/15/99 ?symptoms of Menieres disease CLEARLY ARE DOCUMENTED in his service record? with progressively worse consequences but ?no reliable treatment? for a VA 1/19/96 conducted, ?Destruction of the cochlear-vestibular system provides relief of symptoms.? which increased the ?difficulty with balance?. On 3/2/01 this ENT Chief?s noted ?service record? was laymen designated as not ?competent medical evidence? repeating their 6/27/96 rejection of a previous VA physician?s 2/2/96 in-service determination. The layman?s prior all in the mind 4/13/94 ?perceptive type hearing loss? negated both the physician in-service 2/1/54 ?severe deafness? and the 7/9/57 Rating Board?s awarded 10% disability for this one of many symptoms! The BVA on 1/24/02 confirmed the 7/9/57 RATING BOARD?s clear and unmistakable error by an in-service Menieres disease award but did not address the veteran 4/17/01, 4/30/01 & 5/24/01 submitted supporting record.. The VA ?schedule? 12/7/87 ?Diseases of the Ear? omits this 126 year known since 1861 disease with its also misidentified revealing symptoms NOT ?Diseases? of tinnitus, hearing loss and a ?Menieres syndrome (vertigo)?! A family of 11 physicians, RNs, LPNs and a Director of Medical Records is the foundation. This 72 year old prime subject?s after service Pre-Med. education, Management Engineering Degree with 44 years of R&D and claims experience accomplished insight. Time is on the cover up side.

  2. David H. Marshall says:

    A veteran’s court may not focus. 24 FEBRUARY 2006. ?Congress is responsible for? Dept. of Defense (DOD) human experiments is a 5 to 4 U.S. SUPREME COURT 6/25/87 STANLEY decision![1] A 1994 U.S. Senate response [2] is: 1. That the DOD should be held accountable for their now 62 years from 1944 MANY preplanned ?EXPERIMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO HARM?! And 2. That the injured subjects be allowed a Judicial redress NOT be prevented as a from 1950 ?INCIDENT TO SERVICE?.[3] YET IN 2006 WHILE GIVEN TO CONVICTED RAPISTS & MURDERERS [4] STILL WITHHELD ARE THOSE RIGHTS THAT A LOVED ONE HAD PRIOR TO SERVICE!! Reported is these subjects are DOD prevented from recognizing that the experimentation ?TO HARM? is ?associated with their military service?. As post-STANLEY duplicated by a few in congress through the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (DVA) military disabilities and lower level U.S. Courts procedure. This is demonstrated by their giving to the Secretary of the DVA the final authority on questions of law; 511(a)![5] A result is their 12/8/88 established severely restricted US veteran?s court. Which is verified by its Chief Judge?s 1994, ?The court may not review the schedule of ratings for disabilities or the Policies Underlying the Schedule.?[6] Starting with the DOD premeditated injuries through the entire process there are no specific ?disabilities? criteria for: 1. The ?schedule? omitted exposing ?to harm? policy causes with their What, How, Where & When! 2. Its not identified each of the many experiment?s missing then known original disabilities that underlie the resultant ?to harm? protection. And 3. The overlooked 62 years of updated disability effects lessons learned! This key revealing evidence is missing for medical diagnostic, disability and treatment purposes! It is not addressed within the 1st level local DVA Regional Office and at the 2nd level Board of Veterans Appeals. Then the Chief Judge?s stated no judicial review at the 3d. level veteran?s U.S. Court. After this court?s Final Decision the 4th level only U.S. Court then accessible is also issues restricted! The 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed most of these subject?s service documents. Congress?s 1974 Privacy Act censored the names of all witnesses from those that survived. Prevented is an INDEPENDENT checks and balances revisiting by the U.S. Supreme Court of the 6/25/87 STANLEY DOD ?INCIDENT? as the deliberate ?DESIGNED TO HARM?! A few in congress have captured all experimental subjects within a greatly extended must be completed unaccountable for ?to harm? cause & effects 62 years destroyed and missing evidence process. A justice denied end justifies the means approval of their use as past, present and NOW future in-service guinea pigs. PLEASE VOTE YOUR MEMBERS IN THE U.S. CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE SIXTY TWO (62) YEARS OF ?DESIGNED TO HARM? EXPERIMENTATIONS!!
