Word.

I'm first?

First to say, it sucks ass to be saying, "we told you so..."

In the year 2001 there was a palace coup in the USA. The Pentagon has been in charge ever since.
This has been an item of speculation in my family circle since the spring of 2002.
The thing that amazes me is that people are still wondering how we went so wrong.
This is my little conspiracy theory that I sincerely hope history debunks.

wow joe, this needs to be crossposted at huffpo and the other high traffic sites... atrios steered us here

keep speaking truth to power...

CIFA regularly looks at Jesus' General and has been for over a year.

In our family circle we spent Thanksgiving wondering when it would be time to leave for the Canadian Rockies. Would we have waited for 1934 had we seen little developments like this one? I proposed that travel restrictions would be the signal that it is time to get out. But then, getting out is precisely what the travel restrictions are supposed to prevent. In any case, after reading this, I'm beginning to re-think the whole thing.

When people first started calling this administration Nazis or the Reich, I thought that perhaps it was a little overboard.

Not anymore.

How does the Air Force define their Eagle Eyes program as a success? Terrorists deterred? No. They captured 5 latino illegal immigrants!

http://www.newsargus.com/news/archives/2004/09/03/air_force_sees_success_of_eagle_eyes/index.shtml

So, this program encourages Americans to engage in surveillance on their fellow Americans. Be alert for suspicious activity!

And the Number One suspicious activity to watch out for?

Surveillance!!!

You can't make this shit up:

http://public.afosi.amc.af.mil/eagle/suspicious_behavior.asp

2006??? i can't wait for 2008!!!!!

And to think of the fucking idiots who voted for this corrupt administration.

I wonder if they'd even care. That's just as frightening.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Gonzalez cannot stop lying!!!!

Oh sure, I'm all for catching any religious fundamentalist fanatics out to pull another 9/11, or catch any spies, but the Repugnantcons are using the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon to make America ?safe? for their religious fundamenatlist pals.

What? You actually trust the Repugnantcons?

Why doesn't the Bush administration come clean with Congress and actually breakdown the 30,000 surveillance requests concerning U.S. citizens in the past several years into a graph showing those requests that dealt with people suspected of Al Qaeda connections, or spies, versus those that were going after drug traffickers or users, or going after pornographers...or whatever the surveillance requests were for? What are Bush and his neo-con-nut pals hiding?

This Washington Post article describes an expansion of domestic surveillance that makes the sins of Nixon pale in comparison.

I agree with your assessment. The 2006 elections cannot happen soon enough. We need to kick out all the people in Congress who are aiding and abetting the Bush administration in their quest to destroy our democracy and replace it with their Christo-Fascist police state.

And then after democratic replacements are sworn-in in Congress, they (hopefully in a majority) can take a long, hard look at an executive branch that has "run amok" and demand answers that the current Republican weasels in charge don't want asked or answered.

Our democracy, and it's continuing viability, demands that those Repugnantcons (and even some weaselly Democrats) who are responsible for subverting our country's freedoms should be removed. Our children and grand-children are praying that we hold these weasels accountable and that their futures in our democracy are not compromised anymore by a bunch of neo-con thugs.

No surprise. The Pentagon already is who cooked the prewar intel, courtesy of Rummy and Douglas Feith. (Thank you, Seymour Hersh.) I really hate having DoD getting into the Intel game, and I can't understand why the CIA isn't quietly assassinating the folks who are doing it.

(Not that I'm saying that would be a good thing, mein ubermenschen Eye in the Sky scary guys in black suits! I'm just saying I'm surprised!)

My father's family split in 1920 -- his older brother stayed in Die Heimat.

In the 80's, asking him about what Germans universally refer to as 'The Hitler Time' (relative to the rester of their history), my Uncle was remarkably candid for someone who lived through that period, in Germany.

What he said comes down to this: If you can't even conceive of the right questions to ask, everything will appear so normal, and much can be ignored. So long as the bulk of a population doesn't care what happens beyond the relatively small circles of their lives, totalitarianisim can win. You can always find something to worry about in this world; live your life! Perhaps some politicians sound a little extreme -- but you know it's all posturing; that's all politics is. It's all an act. They don't really mean it.

Then, later, those same people look away and do nothing because they are afraid to, because by then they know the penalties are not an act. Even worse, some embrace the idea of penalties for wrong action, thoughts, associations; the 'wrong' perception of the world. Eager to keep themselves safe or 'succeed' in The New Order, they become the most dangerous zealots.

Look at the most recent issue of Mother Jones. Take a look at the current issue of Harpers. Consider what the possibility of the vote in Ohio and elsewhere being rigged by Rightist Thugs really means.

The neocon-Theocon American Right (in particular the 20% that have consistently been Bush's hard-core, christian base) are very, very serious people. These are the people who believe in the use of torture; who believe that our current constitutional government should be changed to promote a patriarchal, religiously-based totalitarianisim. They don't care if some blasphemous imps of satan, hell-bound anyway, are imprisoned or killed in the process; to them, it's god's work.

I never believed that fascisim would be here and so close to ripping off it's mask of 'American Democracy' and 'Liberty', and revealing the face of greed, lust for power, and evil, real evil masquerading as christianity.

History has dividing lines beyond which, when crossed, the unthinkable is permitted: Waging aggressive war for control of natural resources and geopolitical leverage; use of nuclear weapons; organized secret state police, detailed dossiers of citizens, networks of secret prisons; genocide; vast forced labor camp systems; control of media, art, and expression; control of the court system to make even murder and expropriation of property legal; the single-party rule of what had once been a Democratic state.

I am deeply afraid that we are one terrorist event or some social dislocation away from an end to the structure of the world we know, and everything familiar in it. No one really wants to talk about this, or even admit to the possibility -- neither did ordinary Germans after 1933. And that anology isn't a joke any longer.

Anyone in the mid-30's would have laughed at the idea that what did happen was even possible. I guarantee you it is possible, and America isn't immune from being dragged down the same crooked, bloodstained alley as other nations have.

We didn't elect them the first time and we didn't elect them the second time. We are not going to elect a majority of them in 2006 or 2008, but they will still be running the country. This gang of thugs and traitors have no intention of being put out of power.

Lock and load, it's time to get fucking real. Add a whole new dimension to the moniker "Rumsfucked".

They might think shit like this is funny. Maybe we'll show them a new sense of fucking humor before it's all over. Right now, I don't have one. And, it might be a right long damm time before I find one again.

These fuckers have pissed me off now. Stand the fuck by.

Semper Fidelis

The scary part is all the stuff we don't know. If it looks like a democrat is about to win in 2008, they'll know this person will have access to everything. What will he do to stop it? Maybe they'll give blue states a choice, turn red by conversion or blood.

CIFA = Big Brother

YOU FuCKING IDIOTS:

IT"S THE VOTING MACHINES.

DuH!

i want my country back.

worst president ever.

LOOKS like there are people who see the same repeating of history, to bad others must of flunked it in school.
I as a JEW can't forget my grandparents lived it and made sure I knew , hoping it would stop it from happening again.
I sorry but the Far Right scary me.

The expansion of the powers the Pentagon has - pushed through quietly and probably without congressional oversight, remind me of a time considerably later than 1933. They remind me of the government of East Germany under Erich Honecker and the use of the Stasi (State Security Service) to spy on citizens using both official employees and members of the public.

Perhaps the government of the 'freedom loving' USA has learned from the Stasi, after all, the bulk of the documents recovered from the Stasi headquarters in East Berlin when the Wall fell are being held not in Germany, but in the USA.

Pi.

At the end of this post, you write, "2006 Can Not Come Soon Enough." I presume by this remark that you think the 2006 midterm elections will sweep Democrats into the House and Senate, and that the activities of which you write will then be curtailed. If only it were that simple, friend. The Dems are down with this crap, too. 80% of America's campaign contributions come from 1% of the electorate. Who do you think that 1% is? It's not lefty bloggers and soccer moms; it's Big Oil, Big Pharm, Big Defense Contractor, Big Chem, et al and no Democrat wants to piss them off. Look how the Dems have been going after Howard Dean and Dick Durbin. They attack their own guys with gusto and leave the Bushies alone. Unless the Green or Independence Party or someone like that miraculously gains control in 2006, it will be business as usual no matter who wins.

How times change. Now we need the Germans to protect our civil liberties.

This is just plain criminal! As if anything this administration has done isn't.

The U.S.A. as we knew it, or hoped it to be, ceased to exist on December 12, 2000. We can either play along with the current masquerade, or not. Until enough of us have done our own individual work that allows us to see through the smoke, we'll continue to wander collectively in the dark. I cannot wait for a
Phoenix to arise from what was once the land of my birth; I (we) must be the mid-wife.

"CIFA regularly looks at Jesus' General and has been for over a year."

Well yes patriotboy, me too. But only for the articles.

Your's in manliness

(Hmm, that didn't quite have the ring I thought it would)

"The Oracle" your post has to be a joke right? Otherwise you must be the worst oracle in the history of wack jobs. You really think that a bunch of ball-less democrats are going to come along and save us from this tyranny? Is that the same democrats that voted to approve the "patriot act"? Or is it the democrats that voted to give George Bush II carte blanche to wage war in the name of the people? Maybe the democrats You're talking about are the ones who belly up to the same corperate greed buffet as the "Repugnantcons"(cute name by the way, using clever quips like that doesn't atall make you seem like some jr. high school zit-faced punk)? I would like for you to tell me which of these democrat pansies You expect to ride in on a white horse and save us all. These pussies bend, buckle and fold exactly how their good republican buddies need for them to and unless the sheep see that we have a one party system, and see it soon, we are all fucked in the ass.

Try this .... Stop looking at the trivial issues where the Republicans and Democrats disagree... Terri schaivo, abortion(yeah it's trivial compared to the real shit destroying America), gay marriage (in a "free" society anyone can marry anyone, remember that). This fluff is all they're really willing to discuss openly. Now try looking at the vast and critical issues where they agree, like the economy, namely the selling off of american labor, the GROSS misrepresentations of inflation (does it feel like prices have only gone up 2%?), the absolute destruction of American educational standards(did education in America get better or worse over the past 50 years?). These clowns walk hand in hand on issues of critical importance but you barely hear a whisper from the media about these issues... THAT'S A CLUE.

This is truly frightening stuff. You are right: this IS Nazi Germany.

Thank you, al Qaeda, for 9/11.

And thank you, you semi-toothless red staters, for reinstalling this fucking maniac and his pack of rabid neocons.

Yeah, now that I think about it, my neighbor has been increasingly agitated about Iraq. He say's it's a stupid misadventure and he's got one of those "War is not the answer" bumper stickers on his car (which by the way he never washes.)

I sure hope they're keeping an eye on him. Still, I know they're busy and all--fighting the war on terror and the war on pot at the same time. I should probably give them a call--you know, in case he's not on their radar screen.

Don't make the easy mistake of thinking it's just Rummy, (lon) Cheney, Shub, or Bendover Rover. It's ALL of the entrenched politicians, powerbrokers, international bankers, and ruling elite on every continent. We are seeing the CFR (child of the Rhodes Society) at work (I always wondered what a "Rhodes Scholar" really was. The result of my research was not comforting).

Regardless of nation of origin, party, affiliation, religion, etc, the ideology is the same: fear, war, terror, economics, debt, the environmental crisis, and so on--while real--are also wonderful instruments of manipulation by which we are slowly, comfortably, and willingly moved toward being citizens of one government. The various blueprints are there in black and white--and proudly signed by their authors--for any of us to read. The result could easily be the high tech feudalism eerily predicted by Orwell and Huxley. Even if it's not, and this somehow makes the world a "better" place, the necessary eradiction of personal freedoms would probably make most of us vomit. We'd lose our humanity and just become a race of organisms.

The really scary thing to me is that many in the lower echelons of the ruling elite (and by that, I *do* include several presidents and candidates, their cabinets, advisors, etc) have been reared and educated in a fashion that often gives them the best of intentions, thinking that the way of the future is in fact this New World Order (by the way, it always freaks me how that phrase sounds like someting out of the X Files--ominous, mysterious, monolithic--but was injected into our vocabulary by a former President.) They don't learn this stuff in dark, smoky rooms. They learn it in lecture halls at Harvard and the LSE.

An excerpt from "Tragedy & Hope" by Georgetown Professor (and Bill Clinton mentor) Carroll Quigley, on the CFR:

"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act."

Super.

I suggest the following reads:

-The Creature from Jekyll Island
-Confessions of an Economic Hitman
-Report From Iron Mountain (whether you think it parody or not, it lays out a chilling scenario)

These subtle horrors are going on under our noses today. We are being prepped for the ant farm (and often driving there happily in our Hummers). Another two dozen years of gradualism, and I doubt we'll even recognize our countries. Put it this way: what would Thomas Jefferson think of today's America?

This is not a new plan. This is a small class of people with the patience to carry out an agenda over decades and generations, not months and years.

In fact, I hesitate to call much of this conspiracy--it is happening right out in the open.

Long live the mind that is free.

Given the power and resources he has had available for 5 years and what he has done with it all, GWB could be the very worst human being EVER.

Never has some ONE having so much,
used it for the benefit of so FEW
to rape so MANY.

More and more people are awakening to the parallels between the era we find ourselves in and the events that unfolded in pre-war Germany in the early 20th century. I am very glad that more people are talking about this.

Under various psuedonyms I have been preaching this message since the Patriot Act was first passed. The rumblings really started almost immediately after 9/11.

I offer a timeline for comparative purposes on my blog here and attempt to explain how provisions of the 'patriot act' clearly mirror laws enacted after the reichstag fire in 1933:

Patriot Games

I also give a more general commentary on the subject here:

What we lost

Check it out.

Thanks so much for your post, it's good that you have received the attention of some of the bigger fish out there on the blogosphere. Your message is something that needs to be heard.

Oh, yes remember when G W said Osama Bin Laden didn't like our freedoms which was good cause to attack us ... Well we can now tell him to chill for a while because our country has less freedoms now than it did then and will continue to do so ... so Osama do not fret we are willing and able to talk to you when you are in agreement with us when our country has the right number of freedoms taken away ...

We're going to Montreal on Friday to look at real estate. Should have done it in December 2004, but finally got our nerve up. Time to go, before they come for us.

God, Leftists have got to be the stupidest fucking pieces of shit I've ever read. And Adolf and crew were of the Left, so why all the bitching? Because they tried to hide their crimes instead of your current crop of heroes from the ME, who couldn't give 2 shits about killing on camera, then posting it on the web.

I think the coup was November 1963. Military dictatorship since then.

I agree that 2006 can't come soon enough but with eVoting effectively disenfranchising America, the date of the next election is nothing more another spot on the calendar.

Adolf & Co. were right-wingers, you moron. They rode anti-communism to power. The Republican party dragged its feet helping the Allies. Sen. Bob Taft of Ohio famously compared FDR's lend-lease program to lending someone a piece of chewing gum.

For the moment, the move to reauthorize the Patriot Act is stalled (see this update from the Bill of Rights Defense Committee:http://www.bordc.org/newsletter/bordc-act-alert46.php.)But the general trend is worrisome, not just because of this threat to civil liberties, but because of larger social trends that make institutions such as our press vulnerable to co-optation:

Looking back it was a mistake not to try and attend Rhodes, my High School Librarian's husband was a grad from there, they were nice Air Force(ret.) folk.

Anyways these wing nuts are going to really look great next to the Jesus Fried cripies that make up the neocons.

Remember the old days of the unions, people laid selves on the line and brought the gears to a halt.

Time to draw the line again...

God, Leftists have got to be the stupidest fucking pieces of shit I've ever read. And Adolf and crew were of the Left, so why all the bitching?

ForFuxSakes, you are desperately in need of a history lesson. Just because the actual name of the Nazi party was "National Soc ialist" means nothing. Hitler was virulently anti-communist (communism being the leftmost political extreme), and fascism is a right-wing phenomenon:

Capitalists and conservatives in Germany feared that a takeover by the Communists was inevitable and did not trust the democratic parties of the Weimar Republic to be able to resist a communist revolution. Increasing numbers of capitalists began looking to the nationalist movements as a bulwark against Bolshevism. After Mussolini's fascists took power in Italy in 1922, fascism presented itself as a realistic option for opposing "Communism", particularly given Mussolini's success in crushing the Communist and anarchist movements which had destabilised Italy with a wave of strikes and factory occupations after the First World War. Fascist parties formed in numerous European countries.
...
Various right-wing politicians and political parties in Europe welcomed the rise of fascism and the Nazis out of an intense aversion towards Communism. According to them, Hitler was the savior of Western civilization and of capitalism against Bolshevism. During the later 1930s and 1940s, the Nazis were supported by the Falange movement in Spain, and by political and military figures who would form the government of Vichy France. A Legion of French Volunteers against Bolshevism (LVF) and other anti-Soviet fighting formations were formed.

The British Conservative party and the right-wing parties in France appeased the Nazi regime in the mid- and late-1930s, even though they had begun to criticise its totalitarianism.

Plenty more at Wikipedia.

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Moron.

BP is right. The time to leave for Canada is NOW.

BEFORE Bush imposes travel restrictions.

There's nothing left here.

Time to go.

The U.S. Senate Report on the Ref. 14 web site is the background for this veteran's lessons learned. Its verification can be established thru the Library of Congress. David H. B. Marshall 28 Meadowview Rd., Wayland, MA., 01778, TEL: 508-877-0461

STILL WITHHELD IN 2005 ARE A VETERAN’S PRIOR TO SERVICE RIGHTS THAT ARE GIVEN TO CONVICTED RAPISTS AND MURDERERS!![7] AN 11 YEARS from the 1994 U.S. Senate’s stated (in accord with the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1987 STANLEY assigned responsibility [5]) that the Dept. of Defense (DOD) NOT be ‘held harmless’ for acts NOT “incident to service” [13] and that such subjects be allowed Judicial redress, i.e., for the DOD’s from 1944 MANY “EXPERIMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO HARM”![14, pages 4 & 35 para. G.] The 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed most of these subject’s USAF 1952 to 1956 service documents. Congress’s 1974 Privacy Act censored all co-subject identity from those that survived. It is suggested the post-STANLEY restrictions negate a prior SIXTY ONE (61) years with now no Judicial Branch oversight and as these acts are conducted under the cover of our nations anguish, THEY CONTINUE! Is a LOVED ONE SO INJURED on the attached list of SEVENTY EIGHT (78)? THIS IS DEMONSTRATED BY A JET-ENGINE SOUND PRESSURE EXPERIMENT:
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 is in the DOD’s “A Compilation of Turbojet Noise Data” recorded in 1952 and published July 1956![1] 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] 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] 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”.

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 [15, Title 38, 511(a)] the VA’s unaccountable for “policies” caused “disabilities” must be exhausted administrative procedure. It is an 18 years later effective approval by a few in congress of all the past 61 years, 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 refused to address, 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” [14] 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 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.
