MISSING DOCUMENTS & THE MEDIA

Hi everyone; I have recently been offered a unique opportunity for all Vets and Serving members to report cases of missing documents.
TIME IS TICKING
The cases we are looking for are those that involve denial of DND justice or VAC Awards for claims made. The prominent reporter is looking for cases still open and the details involved. I know there are lot's of us out there and we now have someone with the connections to really ask the tough questions to the top people.

Please send me your contact info and a brief description of you unique situation. We are trying to point out a systemic problem that is wide spread and not isolated to one or two cases.

You know how to contact me through Facebook and I look forward to compiling your information to hand over to the media for investigation. Please help for the good of all involved. Together we can make a difference.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2014

Sorry I have been off line for a while. Internet stuff and other things I do not understand but I'm back.
2013 has been one heck of a year. Met lot's of wonderful people and made some new friends.
2014 will be tougher since it is time for me to go in.

In case you don't remember what I am fighting for on our behalf is,
1. BPA lawyers are yours until the Supreme Court if need be. Their job will not end after VRAB.
2. PTSD should and must be PTSI (INJURY) or JIMI (JOB INDUCED MENTAL INJURY)
3. Under the Human Right's Code, PTSD/PTSI is a disability and classified as such under the Exemption Clause of the Charter, Vets will be afforded legal help at no cost. In other words, you will be treated as anyone else with a disability and a lawyer for those with a mental disability and a ramp or elevator for someone with mobility issues.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! They think we are tough in the battlefield, we are just learning quickly about the paper battlefield. We will be equally as tough there!

TIME IS UP

Doing the right thing. I am moving forward as of today. I have tried and exhausted all avenues for resolution. I wrote this email to some influential people outlining the future.

I am not one to go ahead with something without notifying those involved and the actions I will take. With this said, I have also offered an honourable way out for all concerned and hope they take it.

If not, here are the actions I WILL be taking starting immediately. My email is attached for all to read.

THE EMAIL

From: Michael I. Cole [mailto:michaelcole9112010@gmail.com
Sent: December 18, 2013 3:19 PM
To: Hon, J karygiannis; Claire Checkland
Subject: MENTAL HEALTH and a FINAL RESOLUTION

Hi Jim; The road has come to a clear fork. I have two options. Mental Health Commission has confirmed that I am via definition, mentally disabled. Having this disability would not allow me to properly represent myself.

Based on this fact, my two options are:

a. Alternate dispute resolution with DND to resolve all my issues immediately.

b. Take the Government to Federal Court. Being mentally disabled qualifies me to hire a lawyer and now proceed. My agreement was signed on behalf of the Queen by a General for the Government of Canada.

I will be taking official action within the next couple of days. Time is up and the action will now begin. No further delays will be considered.

Thank you for your help in the past. I would like to know if you and or your party wish to support my efforts. If you do, I would welcome the opportunity to continue working together and if not a non response will be sufficient.

Happy Holidays
Captain (Ret'd) Michael I. Cole, CD1

THE TRUTH - MIGHT BE THE ONE WE CAN SAVE

I must say thank you all, once again for your kind words and thoughts. I would like a favor from all that are willing. 

Let us not have the TRUTH, be one, we could not save.

The favor is to put me in. Let me talk. I have the documents to prove what we are all saying about the system.

If we want to fix it, we need to get the word out there and knowing that each and everyone of you has friends / family or media contacts, even your MP, we can make this happen.

CTV NEWS AT 2:00 PM MONDAY - INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW


HELPING MENTALLY DISABLED VETERANS


WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES

FEDERAL COURT / NO FLOW OF JUSTICE







Here is the rub 
         
          1. My MP Norlock, is Conservative in Trenton (largest base in Canada - will do nothing to help)
          2. Base Commander in Trenton did not follow orders in military legal case
          3. CDS had to get involved and sent me to Alternate dispute Resolution
          4. Legal document signed and held in separate location by DND
          5. No action taken against Base Commander.
          6. Agreement not followed and lost even though it was to be used for VAC pension
          7. No pension granted because DND destroyed agreement
8. I had my copy. 3 yrs for VAC to accept my documents. No Vet benefits while they decided
9. CDS letter to me and legal government documents are historic and were to be kept by DND exclusively.
10. Destruction ensured cover-up of what happened.
11. Privacy Comm agreed with DND that it was okay to destroy historic legal documents.
12. Privacy Comm said if you don't like it take the Gov. to Federal Court.
13. Filed with Federal Court asked for a lawyer because I am permanently mentally disabled due to my service to Canada PTSD
14. Federal Court denied my request for a lawyer.
15. Went to HRC and filed formal complaint discrimination of disabled
16. HRC stated Federal Court not Federal under their jurisdiction and I must take DND to task to pay but had to re-file with HRC
17. Re-filed with HRC but they lost the documents
18. Re-filed 3rd time but they assigned someone new who needed another complete explanation
19. MP Jim Karygiannis got involved
20. New explanation of case to HRC filed.
21. Federal Court wants to have an explanation of the delay.
22. MP Jim Karygiannis said he would inform the Federal Court of the reasons.
23. I have requested a lawyer from HRC who will not answer
24. I have a Federal Court who wants to know why I am delaying the process.
25. I am on a small pension and unable to work and have asked for lawyer to be covered.
26. My options are bankruptcy to pay for lawyer because I can't fight this on my own because of my disability 

So I asked you to look into the injustice of this system. I have followed all the rules and they haven't. I am put in an impossible position. CAN YOU HELP?

CITIZEN DALLAIRE - MY BATTLE BUDDY - SAID NO TO HELP REQUEST

An Officer first

citizen second, politician third BUT 

most importantly, a human being with compassion for a 

"Battle Buddy."

As a Veteran, no one knows your situation better than another Veteran. Kate, in a news conference given on Parliament Hill, said we should all have one to help and watch our backs (our 6 O'clock).
             I thought the same thing. I looked at my experiences in difficult war zones around the world, and the most powerful, knowledgeable and skilled Canadian Citizen was, Senator Retired General Romeo Dallair.
            Citizen Dallaire was Commanding the UN troops in Rwanda during their genocide. I was a Special Operations CC130 Hercules Aircraft Commander tasked with taking supplies into the General and his troops. Because of what happened their, both he and I suffer now with PTSD.

Question for the PM / GG / MND / CDS and Commander of Air Command;

THE GLOVES ARE OFF - TIME FOR SOME REAL OFFICER QUESTIONS
LEAD BY EXAMPLE!

ANSWER CAREFULLY SPIN DOCTORS
There are documents you did not lose

Is knowingly deploying medically unfit Pilot (my case Airbus Aircraft Commander) into a war zone to fly, for 6 months, acceptable? 


They did that exact thing to me. I broke. Lost my career and my dreams. 

What happened to the Senior Officers that ordered me to go, knew I was medically unfit to fly but had me remain and fly regularly until I broke down? 


Their actions destroyed my life.

Did they (THE OFFICERS INVOLVED) get released? If not, why? 
Should they, (THE OFFICERS INVOLVED) be released due to non-compliance of orders?


We all need to know before they kick one more military person out for medical reasons. 

Was the military person treated fairly and IAW the rules prior to deployment?

GOVERNMENT LOST & FOUND DOCUMENT DEPARTMENT

I believe with all the lost Veterans documents and now those of the PM's Lawyer and the PCO, it may be time to re-employ those Government workers sacked by Veterans Affairs during their office closures.
Do you ever feel, "YOU ARE HERE!"

A new Lost & Found, "Sensitive Document Department," could be established. It could use the expertise and high standards of achievement, finely honed by Air Canada's Lost Baggage Department. This way Government Departments not wishing to release sensitive documents can have a place to stash them. They could only be found if the RCMP or a real public out cry occurs.

This would give the spin doctors an extended period of time to come up with another unbelievable explanation. An explanation of why only the most damning documents always;
go missing,
by mistake,
on purpose.
