Attention to Those Who Steal From Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB)

The Governmental Accountability Office, or GAO, discovered fraud and abuse in he SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program); see report GAO-10-306T (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d10306t.pdf).

Pardon the old chief for not being surprised but there are numerous veterans’ organizations that knew about and had complained for decades to the SBA (Small Business Administration) and DVA (Dept. of Veterans Affairs) about businesses which falsely self-certified on the CCR (Central Contracts Register) as SDVOSB and reaped multiple fat contracts in the billions of dollars to literally STEAL from service-disabled veterans who were trying to build a business having not being able to find work due to prejudice, misconceptions, stereotypes and simple ignorance concerning veterans, particularly disabled ones.

That is why the SDVOSB Program was created: to bring about opportunities for veterans to achieve self-sufficiency through rehabilitation via entrepreneurship by creating opportunities to that end. To mince no words those who masquerade as SDVOSB are the scum of the earth deserving to be held up for public ridicule, stripped of their ill-gotten wealth and tossed into federal prisons. But that won’t happen as these bottom-feeding scumbags, even after having been discovered, were allowed to keep their contracts and make billions as borne out in the GAO report.

So what could one reasonably conclude? These dirt-bags were protected by buying influence and assuring that whatever laws that were in place had no enforcement by having no consequence. Take a look at, directly from the report, a conveniently unidentified firm in Chico, CA, that received $5 million from the Veterans Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Agricultural Research Service, and the U.S. Forest Service in Wally Herger’s District. According to the GAO report the firm was ineligible because it does not perform any work and subcontracts 100 percent of the work to non-SDVOSB firms. Further the investigation found that the firm employs three full-time workers and performs SDVOSB contract work with employees from a large international-based corporation that reported almost $12 billion in annual revenue in 2008. Additionally the firm received over 20 SDVOSB contracts since 2008 and is currently listed in VA’s database of verified SDVSOB firms.

Enough lip-service from Washington. It's time for seriously powerful laws with draconian penalties for stealing opportunities from service-disabled veterans.

Calling the Executives of the Bailedout Financials

It would appear that the administration found its spine and is going to chop you off at the wallet. To be blunt getting your pay and benefits slashed is but a slap on your thieving hands when they should be chopped off.

You work for US now, the taxpayers. You robbed us blind by wiping out retirement investments, making millions homeless and vaporizing hundreds of thousands of jobs to profit obscenely in your wanton destruction of economies here and abroad. You then took the bailouts and expected business as usual with no consequences now or in the future. You steaming piles of odiferous, fly-encrusted excrement are elitist scum that believe you are superior to the average American upon whom you prey like financial vampires. You believe yourselves above the law and haven’t the slightest concept of morals, scruples or ethics.

If it were a perfect world mobs of your countless victims would have stormed your office towers, dragging all of you to the streets to be drenched in boiling tar and feathered as government seized all of your assets leaving you completely impoverished to ultimately scrub toilets in the public restrooms of bus stations in the blighted cities you helped to create.

My contempt for you as that of your victims is bottomless. Rest assured that your enablers whom you have bought through donations (read: "bribes") will pay at the polls and legislation to assure you never pull off further crimes is inevitable.

Calling All Former Census Employees

My sources inside the census informed me that the Census Bureau is not reporting the wages of census employees to the various state unemployment bureaus. Consequently laid off census employees are not receiving unemployment benefits or are receiving less benefits than those to which they are entitled.

The company which was contracted to report the wages of census employees to state unemployment bureaus, TALX UC Express, claims that the census failed to report wages to it. The census, conversely, claims that it reported wages to TALX UC Express. If this were true then the census should be compelling TALX UC Express to do the work for which it was contracted. In reality the census has done nothing and TALX UC Express is collecting its money as usual from the US Treasury. Federal contracting as usual it would appear.

What is most baffling is why the affected census employees are remaining quiet rather than screaming to their representatives and the media about this inexcusable situation that is hurting them financially. So I must ask census employees: are you afraid that if you speak up you won’t be called back to work in future phases? If that is the case why would you want to return to work for an employer that cares nothing about you?

From my inside sources I’ve learned that the Census Bureau is anything but employee-centric. Employees were compelled to work uncompensated overtime to meet ever changing priorities under threat of termination, verbally abused by management as well as by the tinfoil hat and black helicopter crowd they encountered, threatened at gunpoint by paranoid meth cookers and pot growers in the sticks. Worse one census employee was murdered in Kentucky the facts of which the Census Bureau, through the FBI, tried to squelch by actually suggesting it was possibly a suicide. The facts of the last example remain obfuscated and buried by a paranoid Census Bureau that resorts to ludicrous assertions to protect itself.

To Robert M. Groves, Director of the Bureau of the Census: you, sir, have failed miserably in your duties. It would seem that you view this position as just that – a “position” with no responsibilities and a staff whose sole purpose is to avoid, evade and dodge responsibility and accountability to protect you and themselves. I am in possession of a letter from a concerned former census employee to you and your agency’s response. To even the most mentally vacuous reading the correspondence to and from you it is painfully obvious that, in the bluntest terms, covering your ass is paramount.

Mr. Groves, you can either do what is right, moral, decent, lawful and proper or face public ridicule though the media as THIS correspondent, unlike you, takes his duties VERY seriously.

Be on the Lookout for Wall Street's Latest SCAM

Wall Street has now found something to replace the mortgage backed investment having destroyed the housing market, the economy in general and countless millions of lives. The new scam is to buy the insurance policies of the elderly and those with fatal diseases.

This time however they plan on minimizing potential losses by not bundling all of the same diseases, say, melanoma, together in the event a cure is found. So there will be a wide array of fatal diseases as well as a broad range of ages to assure fat profits in every bundle.

To assure those profits are even fatter they'll be buying these policies at around twenty-cents on the dollar from people desperate for money having no medical insurance, needing expensive therapies and drugs to stay alive along with the elderly who lost everything when their investments vaporized thanks to – you guessed it – Wall Street.

All of this would lead one to reasonably conclude that Wall Street will fight national health care tooth and nail with every dollar at its disposal through ad campaigns of outright lies and bottomless deceit. The disgusting hateful behavior exhibited at town halls will be friendly whispers considering what Wall Street will initiate to protect its profits. More reprehensible is that money used to fight healthcare by Wall Street will come from the government bailouts using your tax dollars.

Mincing no words while remaining printable, being the filthy, greedy piles of steaming, odiferous, fly infested feces those on Wall Street truly are, I would dare venture that the gangs in the board rooms will pick policies at random and start "death pools" for their perverse enjoyment. Considering that they live like fat, ancient Roman royalty with utter contempt for the lives of the ordinary citizens from whom they distanced themselves with stolen wealth I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that they would engage in such morbid pleasures. Remember the Enron employee caught on tape laughing at the idea of someone’s grandmother freezing in the dark?

This morbid plan to profit off of the elderly and dying must be stopped. If not, they will do everything in their power to keep healthcare for all from becoming a reality while assuring that funding for medical research becomes a dry well, all to assure that they profit handsomely from the deaths of a new pool of victims - desperate victims clinging to their lives.

Rush Limbaugh

I’m not certain which is worse: this oxycotin-gobbling, bloated, arrogant, self-important, ubber-wealthy, gasbag of the airwaves that passes for a human being or his mindless, drooling, knuckle-dragging, imbecile audience that hangs on his every lying, twisted word. Apparently his audience is numerous, a frightening condemnation of American intelligence, as evidenced by the sponsors that are lined-up checks in hand to pander to his Kool-Aid guzzling listeners who would eat steaming bovine droppings if he told them to do so and gladly pay his sponsors for the privilege.

In evidence of this observation I was leaving the doctor’s office one day and, as I strode through the parking lot to my motor, I saw an elderly gent of perhaps eighty, no doubt having left his wife to get the bad news alone, sitting in his Buick, windows down, as he listened to “Rush to the Druggist” at about 800 or more decibels (those Buicks have some serious speakers from the factory). What was eerie and damned frightening was that this old fellow was staring at the hedges before him, mouth agape, with a vacant expression. It were as if he were totally mesmerized and that is no exaggeration. I stood in disbelief ready to perform CPR and call for paramedics if he didn’t blink within the next three minutes. However I was certain he was alright as he wiped some spittle from his lower lip so I straddled my motor and rode off.

What was more frightening was that when I did the math of how many there were just like this old gent who not only listen to America’s Joseph Goebbels but follow his every command as evidenced by those who voted for “I Got Mine So Screw You Shipmate McCain” and “Caribou Barbie” I absolutely shuddered. There are millions of normal appearing people who are functionally developmentally disabled that have voted for those in the pockets of the very people who would make them homeless and destitute in the blink of an eye for a nickel of profit.

But when old “Let This Idiot Do YOUR Thinking For You Limbaugh” stated on air that he wants Obama to fail it was most telling of how he bows before his masters and leads his lemmings to their demise for his fat paydays. This pompous pile of lard would sell his soul (if he had one) as he leads his blind, deaf and brain-dead faithful to work against their own interests because if Obama fails EVERYONE fails. Jobless, homeless, destitute people are not consumers but Rush and his pals are in it for the fast buck now and don’t care who gets hurt in the process. He and his sponsors will be living fat and large as millions of his listeners eat dog food under a bridge in a blizzard.

Then again what could one expect from a cowardly, souless, draft/service evading, drug addicted, pompous piece of excrement who cares nothing for anyone but himself and his owners. If Limbaugh were in a lifeboat should the ship on which one of his “Rush to Excellence” cruises takes place sinks he would hit the drowning with an oar to keep them from pulling themselves aboard so he could have all of the rations to himself.

Obama's Citizens' Briefing Book

Need a laugh? Then check out the Citizens' Briefing Book at change.gov.

Damned few post anything addressing the subject of the individual threads but rather want to spout their self-centered and all too frequently hair-brained rants all over the board. If the thread is about oranges then rest assured people will post about legalizing pot as that what seems to be on their minds (or clouding them). One knucklehead even offered a free donut to anyone who could guess the number of donuts he could fit on his "pole". Add in the angry, bitter right-wing hacks posting and voting down anything with which they don't agree and it gets funnier if not more pathetic (Sarah? Is that YOU?). And, of course, the most popular idea is making the US the "greenest nation on the planet", obviously posted and supported by those who plan to ride their unicorns over the rainbow bridge to the beach campfire to make smores with Smurfs. Apparently they don't live in the "real" world but are in college or high school and have copius free time to post idealistic dribble between bong hits and classes while sucking on the teats of both mommy and daddy.

Meanwhile, in the "real" world, people are losing their savings, jobs and homes. Thousands of disabled veterans are being tossed into the streets to fend for themselves. Banks are being emboldened with cash infussions from our tax dollars to cover their bad bets that resulted from their sheer, unregulated greed so that they can continue business as usual - which is screwing people at every opportunity. While the rich get richer the average American is tossed under the economic bus. Institutions are "too big to fail" yet we are "too small to succeed". None-the-less smoking dope, being green and mass transit are the "most popular" issues on the Citizens' Briefing Book.

Whatever may reach PE Obama from the Citizens' Briefing Book will appear as if it were written by a bunch of stoned imbeciles who deserve to be abused and ripped-off by government as usual. The PE would be better off if he were to poll all of his donors that gave $100 or less rather than have his staff wade through this endless stupidity. Then, perhaps, he'd know what his thinking supporters actually have to say other than "we want free twinkies 'cuz we're stoned". Unfortunately the only ones who donated that got "face time" with the PE are the select few that donated $100K or more. The rest of us are just voices in the wilderness to never be heard because we can't write out checks with a lot of zeroes before the decimal point.

For the record I voted for Obama being sick of being sold out by the Republicans (of whom I was never one) but I fear, the more I read and learn, that Obama has debts to pay and not to the voters that brought him to office.

This just in: Bush Advises Republican Party to Be 'Compassionate'

That was from today's WaPo. Now that I've stopped laughing at the absurdity of Bush's hollow, vacuous statement the anger over his endless arrogance has again taken hold. How could this empty suit and his heartless, soulless minions know anything of compassion?

What pathetic modicum of compassion could he or his party of miscreants possibly muster for anyone but their wealthy masters whom they've allowed to pillage every cent of wealth in the country to be found? His pals, aided and abetted by the Republican Party to which they hold the deed, have made people homeless, jobless and destitute at home as they profit from the suffering they’ve caused. As his cronies fatten their coffers from the war in Iraq he warehouses a whole new generation of service-disabled veterans then directs the VA to deny them benefits as they join the swelling ranks of the unemployed.

His concept of compassion is as twisted as he as evidenced by that $350B that he directed be given away to those who hold his leash. That money didn’t create one job, save one home from foreclosure or put money into the hands of those most in need. Rather that money paid the salaries and bonuses of the recipients, who deserved neither, and the rest was hoarded.

If you want compassion from Bush and his party than you’d better be able to write a check to the Republican Party with no less than five zeroes before the decimal point.
