Just when you thought the VA couldn’t swim any deeper into the cesspool of crime, corruption and retaliation, they plunged to even lower depths when they issued a falsified arrest citation to Mr. Patriot, Ted Hayes, for hanging two American flags on the front fence outside the VA’s National Veterans Home. Officers forcefully removed the flags and confiscated them as “evidence.”
Mr. Hayes is a legendary civil, human and homeless rights activist as well as a public icon for promoting American patriotism in honoring our American flag and the men and women who defend it, particularly those convalescing from war injuries.
This past Sunday, Mr. Hayes hung two American flags — one 13-star and a 50-star — in honor of America’s military Veterans during the 399th consecutive Sunday Rally of the Veterans Revolution to “Save Our Veterans Land” and to “Bring Our Homeless Veterans Home.”
Since Memorial Day more than five months ago, the Old Veterans Guard has been hanging two American flags on the VA front fence in honor of our homeless, war-injured Veterans who are homeless, and in honor of those Veterans who are rehabilitating at the VA Veterans Home and Hospital.
Two weeks ago, the VA bureaucrats sent out the VA Police to retaliate against me for my relentless exposure of the biggest land-fraud scandal in American history and the VA’s criminal treatment of homeless Veterans.
What Was This About?
The VA police issued a falsified arrest citation against me for “displaying placards.” Then, illegally, they confiscated my two American flags, one that I’d purchased on Sept. 11, 2001, because of its historic significance
Mr. Hayes was cited for “displaying materials.”
Ever since President Obama appointed Robert A. McDonald as Secretary of the VA more than a year ago, the crime, corruption, cronyism and retaliation at the Los Angeles VA has escalated. Meanwhile, he plunges to new depths of pathological lying, cheating and stealing from America’s Veterans for the benefit of his rapacious and elitist friends who illegally control this sacred land.
Thomas Jefferson responsibly proclaimed: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
This Sunday will be our 400th consecutive Sunday Rally of the Veterans Revolution, led by the Old Veterans Guard.
We have steadfastly assumed the responsible duty to resist the VA’s gross injustice.
Correspondingly, even though we have been repeatedly harassed, intimidated, lied to and lied about, stalked and spied upon, threatened, retaliated against and falsely arrested by an out-of-control federal bureaucracy.
While the years may have weakened our bodies, they have strengthened our spirit and resolve.
We will not retreat nor surrender.
Nor will we desert our fellow war-injured and impoverished homeless Veterans who need permanent housing and healthcare.
Thomas Jefferson rightfully proclaimed: “To remain silent when they should protest makes cowards of men.”
We will continue our peaceful, patriotic protests.
Join us this Sunday between 1 and 4. Bring your American flags.
God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
