VA CLAIMS ALL PTSD VETS FRAUDS: 2000 NOW INVESTIGATED – FACE PRISON

VA POLICE GROUP HACKS MEDICAL FILES

SEEKS JAIL TIME FOR PTSD VETS

By Gordon Duff VETERANS TODAY NEWS NETWORK

2000 disabled veterans are being prosecuted for filing PTSD claims.  Some are jailed now, some facing trial, some under review by mysterious VA "police group."  Assisting the VA is the American Enterprise Institute, a "neocon" think tank working with regional directors, "Bush holdovers" who subscribe to Dr. Sally Satel’s "Voodoo medicine" theory that all vets are  fakers.

Even veterans with long histories of inpatient program treatment, 100% disability and well documented trauma face prison. 

Patient medical files, legally secure thru the HIPAA Act of 1996  are being "hacked" and VA doctors being intimidated by VA "inspectors" to release confidential information to investigators, all against federal law.

Doctors, themselves, face license suspension and civil action for criminal and ethics violations for submitting to inquiries by "unsworn" and improperly trained political police within the VA.

A recent case is most shocking, that of Robert Athlon in Wisconsin.  Wisconsin is already famous for Keith Roberts, a PTSD vet doing 4 years in prison.  Athlon called me last night, terrified.  "

I don’t even know where to start.  I called one of my good friends, retired FBI agent Frederick Coward of ISI-Corp, a top company that trains police forces around the world.  Fred is one of the top people in his field, having worked in embassies around the world and co-founding the FBI Hostage Rescue Program.

Special Agent Coward (ret) was shocked to learn that investigations of Federal crimes that were under the exclusive authority of the FBI were being performed by untrained and unsworn VA personnel who are not subject to the oversight and ethical review of FBI agents. 

We learned that the FBI had been approached by the VA but refused.  The FBI is filled with military veterans and FBI agents and their retiree associations are among the strongest supporters of veterans in America.

The most serious issue involves patient confidentiality and violation of state medical ethics and federal laws.

The VA seems to be functioning outside all legal guidelines by combining VA files with highly confidential medical records, which are legally protected and openly violating legal restrictions for the open misuse of these records.

If psychiatric interviews are used without due process and legal protections, then every word said in front of a VA doctor is potential self incrimination, violating the 5Th Ammendment.

If veterans, as a group, are treated differently because of their status as veterans and not given legal protections afforded by law to all other citizens, then we have, not only issues of Equal Protection but the ADA (American with Disabilities Act) and the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

The American Enterprise Institute, working in conjunction with the VA has turned veterans into the new "N" word.
