Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans,
While the accompanying pdf applies to the removal of the Veterans Park Conservancy (VPC) from VA property, we must also demand the dishonorable discharge of Susan E. Shyshka.
She signed off on the license agreement as the “acting director” of West Los Angeles VA. She is from VISN 21 in the Fresno area where she was the “associate director.”
Signing off on this trumped-up, faux license agreement does not inspire confidence.
Ms. Shyska’s unilateral actions of defying the respect of the filed ACLU temporary restraining order to halt the illegal construction of VPC’s Hollywood amphitheatre, reinforces that under her “directorship” it will be more of the same, if not worse, when it comes to back-room dealing.
Note the sentence in box (8) of the license agreement titled “Purpose of the License – “VA intends to use the Amphitheatre in a manner consistent with its operations.”
It is no secret that the VA’s “consistent operations” have been exposed by not only a federal judgment but the Government Accountability Office’s report that there is widespread mismanagement and misappropriation of funds in the Los Angeles VA operations when it comes to VA property.
In addition, the VA’s “consistent operations” include public access to the Veterans golf course, Brentwood and Wadsworth theatres, Botanical Gardens, and other places, including operating a rent-free “squatter’s lease” with the city of Los Angeles. It provides a public dog park, public baseball diamonds and soccer fields.
If this sham of a Hollywood Amphitheatre were to be fully constructed, the Los Angeles VA would have it open to the public, including private parties and concerts, plays and whatnot for Sue Young and her wealthy friends, just as she has abused the Rose Garden that is open to the public when she is not using it for her personal entertainment center.
Moreover, look at the last sentence of the “Special Conditions” in the license agreement” No. 1.
While it appears that the illegal Enhanced Sharing Agreement under appeal by the VA is being “immediately terminated,” this license agreement leave the door open … “subject to any agreed-upon amendments or modifications thereto.”
There is no intention by either the VA or VPC to honor this bogus license agreement without escape clauses to come back, amend and modify to further plunder Veterans’ land for the benefit of Ms. Young and VPC.
By purportedly cancelling the already illegal sharing agreement, the VA and U.S. attorneys will try to remove it from the appeal so that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals does not rule on it overall for what already has een adjudicated as “unauthorized by law and therefore void.” This leaves an opening to come back and finagle another ill-gotten agreement.
Ms. Young and VPC must be permanently banned from these sacred grounds.
“Acting director” Ms. Shyshka is no different than defendant Donna Beiter who was behind the VPC’s illegal “sharing agreements,” including the other eight illegal occupants on VA property.
Ms. Beiter, Jeff Blake and Erik Gutierrez were part of a conspiracy to aid on behalf of VPC, along with recently “retired” Ralph Tillman.
All must be dishonorably discharged along with Ms. Shyshka.
Transfers, retirement and resignations are no longer acceptable vehicles to protect the guilty.
Only dishonorable discharges will now be executed. VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald must take quick action to fully and permanently discharge the aforementioned without pay or pensions, or he needs to be dishonorably discharged from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
The VA has no place for civil servants who continue to breach their public trust and serve the greedy and self-serving wants of non-Veteran special interest groups, instead of serving only the needs of disabled and homeless Veterans.
We await Secretary McDonald to fulfill his pledge of “Duty, Honor, Country.” Clean out the riffraff bureaucrats at the West Los Angeles VA. Install trusted civil servants who will put Veterans’ interests first. He must not be afraid to ban outside special interest groups from ever setting foot on these grounds.
See You Sunday?
Join the Veterans Revolution and attend Sunday’s Rally to “Save Our Veterans Land” and to “Bring Our Homeless Veterans Home.”
God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
