Finally got a copy of my entire C-File, over 30 years worth of them weighing about 20 to 25 pounds from the VA Regional Office and only then after an attorney filed a request under the Freedom Of Information Act. I haven't read through entire file in depth, because of the sheer number of documents contained in them, but one glaring condition sticks out like a big ugly sore thumb throughout them and the condition has been on the VA books since on or about 1959 as compensatable and is reflected before, during military and service while serving in Vietnam and throughout the years following my military service. Since breezing through only parts of this C-File I am no longer surprised why the Department of Veterans Affairs doesn't want me to be represented by a qualified legal source and why the VA Regional office doesn't want anyone digging through these records. I am further not surprised by the Department Of Veterans Affairs has held this C-File hostage and applied endless miles of red tape, intentionally delayed them while dissecting this C-File until they could find a way to either delay them further until a reason for a denial could be found, these VA claims were intentionally deadlocked and the entire deck intentionally stacked against me from the word go. Little wonder the number of claims is hopelessly backlogged.

I guess the Occupy Wall Street protesters don't feel veterans are that important or anyone else for that matter, one would think the OWS would be camped out on the lots of the VA Regional Office in North Little Rock, CAVHS in Little Rock and the white house parking lots for better and fairer treatment of veterans and conditions in Arkansas and not to mention veterans along with them, but apparently veterans don't count, unless of course veterans want to join their movement and even then veterans would only tolerated and wouldn't be welcome to protest against VA Regional corruption. But then that's the way it is Arkansas these days protest start off pretty good and then just like a big stinky fart in the wind just kind of thin out and drift off into the blow zone. One would think in view of the number of veterans and especially homeless veterans and the homeless living in Arkansas tons of them would be coming from all over the state of Arkansas and be jumping on the bandwagon like ugly on a ape.

Perhaps the OWS protest leaders have taken a deal of some kind and sold out the movement or never really had the heart for it in the first place, while half heartedly keeping the movement alive or only wanted a little bit of public attention in Arkansas because it just happened to be a world wide movement. People the Hippies of the Woodstock 1969 generation would have called them a sell out to the establishment and would have launched an all out protest against the Occupy Wall Street Protesters. Not much is heard of the Occupy Wall Street protesters these days, most likely because the movement like most things in Arkansas has become stagnated and bogged down to the point of uselessness and obscurity. The Civil Rights movement would have never stood still for such a small turnout and Central High sure as hell never did.

My New Year's resolution, well I have only one and it's move away from Morrilton as soon after the new year begins as I can possibly do it. I've been here 7 years now since returning from New Orleans and in that short amount of time the poisons that obviously are in Morrilton have sent my health, sleeping patterns and nerves literally to hell in a hand basket. Anxiety and panic attacks here are constant and the only things available are those idiots at Counseling Associates and I wouldn't send even one of my dogs or cats to them for help.

My New Years resolution is make arrangements to return to New Orleans as soon into the new year as possible, even if I have to live on the freaking street. My BP is always way to high and blood work, a Cat Scan and an EKG all came normal. That's poisons here in Morrilton and there are people here who know what those poisons are and are refusing to do anything about them. Morrilton has become nothing more than a mud hole that is drying up and the only place Med Tech will haul me to is St. Anthony's who doesn't even have resident psychiatrist on call here in Morrilton when this crap hits and on top of that I can't even get admitted for test to pin down and get any of this under control.

Obviously there is a hell of lot better medical care outside the state of Arkansas and I do have enough money coming in to go it. Let this town die and rot right on into the dust of oblivion, but it can dam well do it without me. I have received and can receive and get light years better health care, doctors, treatments and reasonable happiness outside of Arkansas. And add to that the fact there are health care people in New Orleans who care more about getting me well instead of just turning a blind eye to my health problems. I answered a telephone survey about my treatment at St. Anthony's ER here in Morrilton a few days ago, one of the questions asked was. How likely are you to recommend people to St Anothony's ER for treatment and my response was "Not on ya damned life" the guy said "Excuse me" and I repeated "Not on ya damned life".

Little Rock,AR McClellan Hospital The Very Worst Medical Care In The Country

Atlanta,GA VA Medical Center

Over the years I have become very disappointed and disgusted with the VA health care system in Arkansas and disillusioned and dismayed with the VA in general. I've filed a Civil Rights Discrimination Complaint against the VA Regional Office in Little Rock AR and the VA hospitals as well in part due to my openly gay status, however I feel in view of the White Supremacists mentality described below, that to is being held hostage in the same manner my VA claims were and finally denied in the early part of 2003. Well it wasn't held hostage, all material I faxed to them was flat out mailed back by CAVHS.

Conway Arkansas will be holding their annual pride parade this coming June. The following is copied in part from a news story that aired on Channel 11 KTHV 4 years ago (at the time of this writing) during Conway's 2nd annual pride parade and illustrates the type of hate group mentality faced by openly gay people and doubly so for gay veterans in Arkansas. Shortly before the first annual pride parade Cow manure was spread on the Gay-Pride Parade Route.

The self-proclaimed white supremacist group from Russellville, held signs and yelled at the walkers. They also had their children holding signs. White Revolution chairman Billy Roper says, "The homosexual agenda is unhealthy, it's perverse. Society in general, America, would be better without homosexuals." The group had two signs the police deemed offensive. They were ordered to roll them up and put them away. Roper says, "We don't think what we're saying is any more radical or obscene than those fairies and *%@* prancing up there."
