Arkansas Occupy Wall Street Protesters An Utter Insult To The Very Movement Itself:
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 Only News Resolution:
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”.

Frankenstein’s Laboratory And All His Little Underlings:
Wonder how many people working in the VA Regional Office and Central Arkansas Veteran Health Care System have are part of the Klu Klux Clan who preach hate and spew out poison, or how many of those people in the VA Regional or CAVHS has ties to any of them? And just how many lawmakers have ties to them or are actual members of the Klu Klux Klan and other hate groups? Because that’s a few of the places where they’re doing the real damage. I forgot to mention many of them are fishing aholes buddies with members of the justice system, the judges and the attorney’s? Like all hate groups all they’ve done is gone underground. So let us never forget them and the hurt and wrong they’ve caused, so they can never do it again.
Because CAVHS is a research facility only, in short CAVHS is nothing more than a Baron Victor Von Frankenstein’s Laboratory and a training ground for a bunch of Igor’s. I’m 50 miles west of them and I won’t even ride the van to seek treatment with them. A doctor in the ER here in Morrilton called on my behalf recently to set up an appointment for me, he was around my age, black and well remembers the times of the 1960′s, the 1970′s and the time of the draft. When he came in to inform me, he stated, “R everybody in the VA knows you” and my reply “I can guarantee you they didn’t have anything good to say about me”.
I knew then and there it would be nothing more than a cold wasted effort. And had it not been for the intercession of higher authority in the medical field he would most likely have never made it to medical school. My sleeping cycles in Morrilton are out the window and which (CAVHS couldn’t care less about treating), as is any real type of medical care, I sleep whenever I get to go to sleep. I’m not one bit surprised a VA doctor at CAVHS got chewed out for taking the time to talk with and with and examine a veteran, I suppose someone in CAVHS thought they would use me as a free freaking lab rat to dump whatever poisons they cared to dump in me and pull whatever amount of blood they thought they were entitled to, and they found out it wasn’t gonna happen
There was attorney and he was not in the state of Arkansas decided in the recent past to represent me. I stated up front with the legal firm I wasn’t going through any more C&P exams with the VA they’re nothing more than delaying tactics perpetrated by the VA to keep their records updated about veterans and the veteran always comes out the looser. I was further under the impression all correspondence with the VA would be handled by the attorney, the attorney assured me they could and would handle the case with existing records. I wonder what bag of VA records crap the VA Regional Office in North Little Rock saw fit to send that law firm and exactly what kind deal the VA Regional cut with the attorney.
It’s sure as hell is not the first time it’s happened with an attorney representing me and the VA because lest anyone think the VA will not use every loophole and trick in book and some that aren’t even in the book against any veteran they don’t want represented, then think about 10,000 times and then ponder it 10,000 times more. The VA Regional Office then sends me a large pack of letters and forms stating they needed more information about the conditions I was claiming as if the VA doesn’t already have decades of medical records on me already. This attorney then comes back to me with some high pressure tactic demanding I keep any C&P exams the VA cares to throw my way or him and his firm wasn’t going to represent me and at that point I advised him in precise full military gutter language precisely what he could do with his representation.
CAVHS doctors might take it gracefully in the public, but you should see the open festering sores they become when in private and some of the flags they place in the medical records of veterans. As for North Little Rock its nothing more than a big bag of horror stories and forget the line “best medial care in Arkansas, its a lie from the word go and doesn’t exist) you want reasonably good VA medical care take it to some other state. Get this I couldn’t even get Nicotine patches without lab work, since when does nicotine patches require blood work. CAVHS’s excuse (and it is a red tape excuse only) medications change the blood gas’s well to hell with them, VA doesn’t compensate me and has slammed every door in face long ago, so the way I figure it is, their not entitled to even one teeny, tiny little drop of blood from me.
Apparently there are enough veterans in Arkansas for CAVHS to pull whatever kind of experiments on them that CAVHS cares to and doesn’t have to worry about any shortage of veterans in the present or near future. Kill a few or more of them off big deal there’s always tons more coming through especially now with the new crop of returning Iraqi veterans.
I for one don’t envy them not even in the remotest, a great deal of them will meet with the same type of horror treatment and cold shoulders, lies, delays, denials and rejections returning veterans met in the time of Vietnam and through the years following and even to the present. Most Vietnam veterans since Vietnam have been relegated to 4th class citizens through the VA anyway, and have always been branded liars and freeloaders. Saw this little cartoon from one of the veterans email groups I belong to, had this veteran standing on a crutch on the sidewalk holding a sign that read Homeless Vet and this passing motorist with the decal on the bumper that stated support our troops. The caption from the motorist read, “Get a life you worthless bum” and that one cartoon is a mirror image of cold hold reality for a great deal of veterans both old and new.
CAVHS killed my second oldest brother and then took away what little quality of life my younger brother had before he passed away. Doctors in New Orleans are never chewed out for treating veterans or taking the time to talk to them and ask questions. That’s just one of the difference’s between reasonably good VA doctors and Frankenstein’s underlings.
Consider this as well, there are a large number of Doctors of Mid East descent in CAVHS, and consider the kind of diplomatic immunity those doctors are bringing with them and what type of incentives those mid east doctors are being given to practice at CAVHS and precisely what level of medical qualifications and experience they really do hold.
And I forgot to mention CAVHS apparently has the power and enough diplomatic immunity to prevent people in Washington or anywhere else for that matter from poking around in depth in their affairs and records. And apparently has enough power behind them to suppress and cover up any type of wrong doing on the part of VA officials. Lest anyone feel the VA Regional Office and The Department of Veterans Affairs wouldn’t had they the power do so, suppress the 1st amendment rights of veterans or any writer for that matter from posting anti VA message’s or articles about the VA or VA health care, then you are sadly mistaken and your head is in the sand, they would do so in a cold New York minute.
As I have stated I’m not fond of heavy proof reading and corrections so please read past any typos and or writing mistakes. I’ve spent about 4 hours putting only a small portion of some of my feelings and thoughts about CAVHS the VA Regional Office in North Little Rock and The Department of Veterans Affairs in general down in writing. A bit long perhaps this time around but when thoughts and feelings flow freely its difficult to stop writing them down.

The Evil Of Morrilton
For some Morrilton, Arkansas is an unrecognized little life force sucking leech and prison, for whatever evil and raw deal this place care’s to dump down on top of them. This town is run by evil, owned by evil and protected by evil and it doesn’t mater whether God himself curses a person or by the evil in Morrilton the result is the same. People in Morrilton see fit to blacklist some for one reason or another are forced to live alone and to be a dumping ground for whatever poison people in this cesspool care to dump on them. Cowards in the VA Regional Office in North Little Rock Arkansas make damned sure there is no VA medical care for those blacklisted here and obviously have the power to make it stick through crooked attorneys and crooked judges. And all roads leading away from Morrilton are open to all but those on the blacklist, for them the roads leading out of and away from Morrilton may as well not even exist. I can live with the seclusion that comes from being blacklisted, it’s knowing that it is because of my being blacklisted that I despise. Its knowing that outside of Morrilton and outside of Arkansas good VA medical care is available, but in Arkansas VA medical care and health care in general is almost non existent.
Well there does come a point, and you do reach a level of age when it’s time to close the books and lock them down for life and you finally realize there is simply no way to win in any shape form or manner.
The Department Of Veterans Affairs and Central Arkansas Veterans Health Cares System in North Little Rock and Little Rock Arkansas are some of those things. When it finally reaches the point where it is simply nothing more than excess baggage, a dud and dunce and serving no useful or gainful purpose, then it’s time to close the door on it both mentally and psychically never to be reopened again.

Electronic Cigarettes (E-Cigs):
I’ve been experimenting with E-Cigs since August of this year and I’m still using a few tobacco cigs here and there though not near as many as in the past. My main beefs with E-cigs are they are two heavy, obviously made of metal and require stronger suction/or puffing power than that of a cigarette. The current model I’m using is from Sungold and I did have to order the kit from China, it’s refillable and came with 10ml’s of e-liquid which I ordered in Marlboro flavor and 24 mgs of nicotine. One of the things I’ve learned from researching the cartridge is you can repack them with new cotton or other absorbent material and continue to use them.
The atomizer will generally last for about 10,000 puffs or around three months, if you do get any nicotine on you wash with plenty of soap and water since nicotine is absorbed through the skin, supposedly you can’t OD on nicotine and I sure as hell don’t believe that. After further research through Google I discovered that according to some, yes you can OD on nicotine. So the big question is do E-cigs deliver the nicotine and the answer is a resounding yes they do. When E-cigs are perfected (and they’re not to damned far from it now) and take off the way computers did and “they will” the big tobacco companies are going to hurt. When it comes right down to it the tobacco companies don’t actually want anyone to quit using tobacco, nor does the Government or state governments.
To damned much money to made from the sale of tobacco products and taxes collected on the sale of tobacco products. I think cigarettes are now at 10 dollars a pack in California, people 10 freaking dollars a pack, so that equals out at 100.00 dollars per carton. Two packs in Oklahoma are 9.58 so anyone should be able to see why tobacco companies don’t want people to quit smoking. Tobacco companies are closing their eyes when it comes to E-cigs, and instead of trying to compete with E-cig manufactures by making a cheap alternative to tobacco the tobacco companies are burying their heads in the sand.
I’ve not managed to find a great deal of info on the safety of E-cigs mainly because the FDA is being paid off in huge grants from the tobacco companies believe it not, most of the research being done and available on the Internet is being done by private doctors who use E-cigs and their patients who want a reasonably safe alternate nicotine delivery system to smoking and/or tobacco products.
