Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans:
Today is the Ninth Anniversary of the Veterans Revolution.
Sunday will be our 469th consecutive Rally to "Save our Veterans Land" and to "Bring Our Homeless Veterans HOME."
On August 29, 2013, our peaceful and non-violent protests led to a Federal Judgment against the VA for engaging in nine real estate deals with non-Veteran entities that were adjudicated "unauthorized by law and therefore void."
Instead of honoring Federal Judge Otero's Judgment and stern rebuke of the VA's unlawful interpretation of the "clear and unambiguous" language of Federal law, the VA joined by two of its unlawful occupants, the wealthy and powerful private Brentwood School's athletic complex and U.C. Regent's UCLA's baseball diamond, appealed the Judgment.
On January 29, 2015, newly appointed VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald, a defendant in the Federal lawsuit, met privately behind closed doors with two of his wealthy and powerful attorney friends, Bobby Shriver and Ron Olson -- neither are Veterans, and agreed to vacate the Federal Judgment with a fabricated "settlement agreement" that promised to end Veterans homelessness by December 31, 2015 and provide an "exit strategy" for the nine illegal occupants.
Not surprisingly, Los Angeles remains our nation's capital for homeless Veterans and the illegal occupants have been made "legal" through a deceptive bill co-authored by U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein and U.S. Congressman Ted Lieu.
In spite of the Department of Justice doing nothing about all the crime, corruption and misappropriation of Veterans land and the inhumane treatment of war-injured and impoverished homeless Veterans, on April 18th, I will appear in Federal Court facing six months in prison on criminal charges for an arrest citation issued by Los Angeles VA police officer Ralph Garcia and being prosecuted by the Department of Justice's Los Angeles Central District ... United States Attorney, Eileen Decker, for "displaying a placard" when I was displaying the American Flag.
Think about this: Billions-of-dollars of Federal VA land that was deeded in 1888 for the exclusive housing and care of disabled, destitute and homeless Veterans is being hijacked by wealthy and powerful non-Veteran entities and the Department of Justice is doing absolutely nothing.
Yet, when an Old Veterans Guard proudly displays his own American Flag for three hours one day a week in honor of all the men and women who have pledged their lives to defend our Nation's Colors over more than 240 years, VA police officers and U.S. Attorneys swear under penalty of perjury that the American Flag is a "placard."
Are you prepared to "Pledge Allegiance to the placard of the United States of America"?
This is a call to action to stand up and speak out in defense of the American Flag -- my co-defendant -- who will be facing the court and standing next to U.S. Magistrate Judge Steve Kim. Judge Kim cannot sentence me for displaying a "placard" without first sentencing the American Flag for being a "placard."
Stop this mockery, denigration and desecration of the revered "Flag of the United States of America" by the United States Government's Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Justice.
Show up in Federal Court on April 18th and bring your own small American Flags.
Support Canada Free Press
In addition, all across America proud American Patriots should display Old Glory on April 18th to show your love and respect for our Nation's Colors that are defended by the selfless men and women of our United States Armed Forces.
"To remain silent when they should protest makes cowards of men [Americans]." - Thomas Jefferson
Read the following summary of the Sixth Anniversary of the Veterans Revolution, as very little has changed from our Mission.
On the other hand, the VA and their wealthy and powerful partners [co-conspirators] have become more and more aggressive in unlawfully controlling Veterans land for non-Veteran use while doing nothing sincerely or productive to eliminate Veteran homelessness in Los Angeles. Instead, they are retaliating against our staunch stand for Truth and Justice in defending Veterans property and protecting the lives and well-being of our war-injured homeless Veterans by shamefully and disgracefully prosecuting the American Flag for being a "placard."
God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
