Do newspapers now have a “Blue Wall” to protect each other’s character in the public eye? The Boston Globe (in writing) told me that they would prefer my suicide before I wrote another letter to the editor. This should be front page headlines across the U.S. What ever happen to allowing people’s response? What ever happen to the ethical, moral belief that the newspapers was a place for the citizens of this great nation (U.S) to voice their opinion freely and with out fear of government reprisal? The NH governor has the State Police come to my home and tell me “My letters are causing serious problems in Concord NH the governor would prefer my suicide. These are crimes happening freely and openly and the news media refuses to inform the public. The Veterans Administration director of NH told this 100% disabled veteran to admit myself to the VA hospital and start taking mind controlling drugs or commit suicide. This is in my medical record file. The NH VA stopped my medical care for five months now it is restarted but limited and sub-standard. This is a crime to stop a 100% disabled Veteran’s medical for combat related injuries. The news media refuses to inform the public of these crimes. The Associated press and newspaper ethics council should be all over these facts but how does a U.S. citizen correct the wrongs. I could run for public office and make a difference but how when the news refuse to inform the public about me. I am running for District 21 NH state senate yet the news does stories on other candidates but censors information about this candidate. How can the public believe what they read in the newspapers when the “Blue Wall” manipulates the truth?
I have asked nothing, but I volunteer every day to help others since I came back from the Vietnam Conflict. The VFW and America Legion refuse to help. I can not blame them. They are worried about political connections. I have violated no laws yet to stop me the government and newspapers, has violated the Constitution. I do have serious medical problems from my time in the Marine Corps. Yesterday I wrote a letter and part way through I re-lived a time “in country”. I should not have sent that letter out but honesty can not be limited. The Public has a right to know whom I am.
I almost dove into Portsmouth harbor yesterday and floated out to sea. Don’t ask me why that I did not? I keep remembering living in sub-human conditions deep in the “Bush” dreaming of some day actually living in this country (U.S) that I was fighting for. I have a traumatic Brain Injury so I have no memory prior to being a U.S. Marine. I came back and tried to learn the laws and living in a civilized society. I came back to a place that I do not belong or a place where a civilized society can not accept me.
The Boston Globe may be a big newspaper, but I place my life for the United States of America as a U.S. Marine. If it is not for our military, you people would have nothing but to serve those in control. Veteran’s deserve more than to be treated as second class citizen. I have a Red, White and Blue “wall” that must fly free if for nothing else than for those over the history of the United States of America, in the memory of those that gave their lives for her.
