311th COSCOM MAY BE INVESTIGATED BY ARMY AND FBI FOR CORRUPTION
ARMY UNIT WITH ENERGY UTILITY/WAXMAN TIES ATTACKS PROTESTING VETS
By Gordon Duff and Robert Rosebrock
A week ago, uniformed troops from the 311th COSCOM, a reserve non combat logistical command in Los Angeles assaulted protesting disabled veterans.
This command, whose leaders may have financial ties to the local land seizure group, is claiming "official" US Army backing for Rep. Waxman’s actions now being protested by veterans groups.
Henry Waxman, chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce committee heads the "land grab" movement. Chief of Staff for Major General Bruce Casella, is Colonel Steven D. Patrick, attorney representing California’s power utilities. This land seizure partnership between an Army officer working for power utilities and Waxman, whose committee oversees the same utilities is a frightening coincidence. Add violence to the mix and coincidence becomes something much worse.
The idea of an Army unit that has joined with the controversial VP Conservancy group to steal veterans land is an abomination. That this units members, uniformed and on duty, would leave their post and assault disabled veterans to aid this same club of millionaire profiteers is worse. Even further, we are told the 311th COSCOM is aiding in the illegal surveillance activities "outed" weeks ago by letting unsanctioned DVA spy operatives use military facilities and equipment.
Conflict of interest is the understatement of all time.
Investigative personnel working for the protesting veterans, including senior retired Army and FBI personnel cite need for an official inquiry into possible crimes involving elected officials, Army personnel and DVA actions.
When Sue Young, the executive director of Veterans Park Conservancy was asked by the "Brentwood News" in the November 2007 issue, how she was essentially able to acquire the 16 acres of Veterans land for a public park rent free, she responded:
"Because this arrangement was unprecedented, it required lengthy discussions and compromises with Veterans Administration in Los Angeles and Washington. The agreement also called for approvals at the highest levels, i.e., Secretary Nicholson, and the involvement of the Congressional delegation."
Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office have traced the assaults to the 311th COSCOM Logistics Command, the only military unit in the United States to join with business groups to advocate the seizure of veterans land.
Major General Bruce Casella, commander and, himself, a full time defense contractor working for Agile Communications, an army logistics and electronics vendor, is not known to have ordered the assaults on the aging veterans or to have direct involvement. His command, when contacted by veterans groups about their activities 
supporting Waxman and his cabal, were dismissive and arrogant.
Thus, the assaults were not much of a surprise to veterans. The strong ties between members of the Command and Rep. Waxman are clear.
Other prominent politicos involved in the land grab are Governer Arnold Schwartzenegger whose children attend school at the exclusive private academy that was also awarded part of the veterans land. Senator Feinstein is actively involved as were VA Secretaries Nicholson, forced to resign in disgrace, who authorized the land giveaway without "due process" or appeal.
Veterans, after the Civil War, were awarded land for parks, housing and medical facilities by private groups across America. That land is now worth billions of dollars, with the Los Angeles Veterans Park now one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the United States, valued in the billions of dollars.
Across the country, political insiders tied to developers and businesses looking to profit from misuse of veteran facilities, are being given hundreds of millions of dollars of land, not owned by the federal government, but held in trust for veterans, all without legal precident, due process or any clear authority.
In Los Angeles, protesting veterans have been subjected to illegal surveillance, wire tapping, tresspassing citations, detention without arrest and assault by uniformed Army Reserve personnel.
Protesting veterans are cited for tresspassing, even on days when thousands of Iranian protestors hang anti-American signs on nearby monuments with total impunity. What does this tell you?
Protesting groups, led by the Military Order of Purple heart and including members of the American Legion, VFW, AMVETs, and others, several wheelchair bound World War 2 veterans, have been protesting for 2 years.
The group involved with Waxman and Feinstein claims the support of Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush. However, examining their evidenciary letters, it is clear that this is utterly untrue.
No president would ever be involved in stealing veterans land on behalf of wealthy Brentwood home owners in their move to isolate their mansions from poor or homeless veterans.
This is the list of their supporters, a "who’s who" of LA fatcats business groups and Hollywood elite:
Bel Air Association
Bel Air Garden Club
Brentwood Community Council
Brentwood Residential Neighbors
Brentwood Homeowners Association
Brentwood Park Property Association
Brentwood-San Vicente Design Review Board
Brentwood School Board of Trustees
Holmby Westwood Property Association
Los Angeles Business Council
Los Angeles Conservancy
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy
Brentwood Area Chamber of Commerce
San Vicente Area Improvement Association
Upper Mandeville Canyon Association
West Los Angeles/Brentwood Rotary Club
Westwood Hills Property Owners Association
Westwood Home Owners Association, Inc.
Westwood Rotary
Westwood Village Business Improvement District
Brentwood Glenn Association
Brentwood Hills Homeowners Association
Brentwood Historical Society
South Brentwood Home Owners Association
Los Angeles Men’s Garden Club
Los Angeles Conservancy
Natural History Museum (of?)
Los Angeles Conservancy Corps (?)
National Park Service (Participation not proven and illegal)
Former WW2 veteran, General Gwynn Robinson, "Hollywood glamour boy" nominally heads the land grab groups. His version of seizing veterans land for private use and has now even prohibed veterans from using much of their own land at all is the following:
"The signing of this long-term agreement represents the culmination of a relationship between Veterans Park Conservancy and the Department of Veterans Affairs which commenced in 1987. We are now able to create a lasting and dignified tribute to the men and women who have courageously served our country. The park will create a recuperative environment for veterans, as well as a respite for the community within a tranquil oasis amidst the urban bustle of densely developed West Los Angeles," said Major General Gwynn H. Robinson, U.S. Air Force, Ret., chairman and president of Veterans Park Conservancy.
Wined and dined by the Hollywood elite, Robinson has been too busy and too important to respond to his "non millionaire" fellow vets whose wheel chairs adorn line his million dollar fence, a fence that is increasingly barring veterans.
Another military bigwig is Rear Admiral Frank Raab, one of America’s wealthiest insurance executives, supporting the veterans land grab:
"Frank E. Raab, C.P.C.U. is the retired President / CEO of Insurance Company of North America. He is also the retired Chairman, C.E.O. of Allianz Insurance Company and the former President / C.E.O. of Pacific Employers Insurance Company. Mr. Raab is a past National President of Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters and has served on the Board of Governors of the New York Insurance Exchange. He serves on several corporate boards and retired as a Rear Admiral, USNR."

Ann Petroni, Socialite and former member of the Los Angeles Ethics Commissioni (?)
Barbara McMahon: Romance novelist
Carolyn Stone Enenstein: Wife of Craig Enenstein, CEO of Corridor Capital LLC.
Flora Gil Krisiloff: Doctors wife, activist who describes herself:
Flora has always put the needs of residents above politics and self-interest, and her record reflects that. "As a nurse and a 20-year community advocate, Flora is committed to putting the needs of families above the demands of special interests and corporate interests. As a wife and mother of three sons, she shares residents’ priorities in protecting our families and our neighborhoods from crime, pollution and overdevelopment. Flora will work hard to keep our families safe. " Flora must see vets as a special interest group in need of stopping.
Gail Feingarten Oppenheimer: Art Gallery Owner
Van Kelsey: CEO Kelsey National Corporation
The list goes on. These are veteran supporters, some veterans themselves, whose wealth, power and influence has insulated them from the reality of the suffering they are causing.
Please save veterans from the kind of help being offered by the powerful elite.
Now go figure a vet stealing from another vet…. I know, I know, Bush did it.
Is this happening all over the country or just in Calif?
Rick
Don’t hate me because I am beautiful.

I thought it might be the 311th but was hoping for the national guard. ………………..Dennis you don’t think that the members of the Veterans Park Conservancy didn’t back the bush 100% ? once a Republican always a Republican ……and don’t let facts get in the way
I don’t believe in political parties.
They are an excuse in order to keep us from realizing we have been on the losing end of a class war for decades.
You will never see rich democrats and rich republicans fighting over anything but our dried bones.
g
My recollection is that it is an ILLEGAL act for the U.S. Military to attack
U.S. Civilians (which Veterans are). I won’t lay this at the feet of Bush
or Obama, but it would seem Leavenworth should be the new home for some of these Log Command dishonorable uniform wearing assholes.
They should be wearing stripes. Where’s that Arizona Sheriff when he is needed in California?!! He would dress them in pink and put them on a road gang.
At last we agree
Whenever we aren’t seeing things the same, someone is not communicating properly.
You are going to see VT crush the life out of corrupt Democrats when needed.
I hope nobody is surprised.
g
someone that knows how to read. obviously not publicly educated. any relation to raymond beadle?
Maybe what we need is to create a big riot. Fight with whomever comes to drive the Veterans away. This way, our plight will be on the national news. We can call attentiion to our plight this way. Let’s go for it.
Being peaceful does not seem to get us anywhere.
After 74 consecutive Sundays of peaceful demonstrations and being stalked, assaulted, spied upon, lied to, challenged, threatened, scorned, persecuted and cited, I think you may be right. John F. Kennedy said: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
Mr. Rosebrock, on the matter of being stalked and spied upon may I direct you to one Randy Mucha of the Oak Brook IL police department. SGT. Mucha, at the behest of the mayor, started a harassment campaign against two township residents, Casey and Fran Gaik. Their crime? Why, pointing out corruption, of course! Good news is, the Gaik’s won a $2 million settlement that will eventually pan out to $4.6 million. The couple plan to sue the local prosecutor as well, who knows how many millions they will clear on that one and any subsequent lawsuits. Mucha, local politicos, and of COURSE an *army* of boot-licking snitches got really sloppy in the end. The cat got out of the bag when Mucha began to attack two of his cop buddies after they told Mucha to quit being a fruitcake. If you have evidence you are being stalked, harassed, tail-gated while driving, or you suspect your phone and banking records are being snooped on, maybe you could call the lawyer that won the case in Oak Brook? The precedent of official harassment, and the techniques used, are now public knowledge. Me, I have moved to a larger city so as to make “evidence gathering” easier. I never leave the house without a hidden microphone and hand-held video camera. The corruption goes all the way up to the top, as well. Take a look at FBI agent Carl L. Spicocchi, who ran the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Toledo. For nearly six hours, a senior FBI official terrorized his Arlington County girlfriend, at times holding her at knifepoint in her closet, dragging her around the apartment by her hair and forcing a gun into her mouth in a jealous, drunken rage, police allege in court documents. And the fun part? Even in this recent battery case, the FBI agent threatened his girlfriend that *he was keeping a file on her with the intent of ruining her if she left him*, no doubt gathered using federally taught techniques, paid for by your tax dollars.
Glenn: Thanks, and you are right on all counts. When billions of dollars of property are at stake, greedy and powerful people will go to any length to do anything against anyone who might get in their way in exposing their malfeasance and corruption.
PARDON ME, but what ever happened to a good ole fashioned ” blanket party ” for these goose-steppin facists ? Under the code of honor between soldiers, whose going to say anything ? Someone else wondered what happed to tar & feathers, can’t you guys out west get creative.
Above the law so far. I thought Toledo politics were dirty. We lack the elite elements of tinseltown.

Somebody asked if this was being done all over the country? I would
bet it is and all under the disguise of the so-called BRAC and Cares
commission. A VA hospital in Central Iowa is being closed and it is
a mental facility (established for just that purpose in 1930 or so).
The elected Senators and Congressmen from this state have done
nothing to assist in keeping it open, but have offered to help the local
community find a tenant for some of it as least. The whole damm
thing is a scam all over the country.
I sent the link to this story to a friend of mine a retired general that was involved with this unit and this is his reply
Thanks Tim,
I saw this, it’s totally hosed up. Steve Patric retired 8 years ago, Castella was the commander of the COSCOM until it inactivated in 2005 and became an ESC. This is all made up by those who oppose the selling of the Army Reserve property, not Veterans Property to developers (actually it a land and building swap). Don’t you just love politics
I can believe this man, He was one of the good ones AND ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR HIS TROOPS
Castella is still listed by the DOD as in overall command. Rosebrock says it is a BG Finke.
Castella’s name is not coming up with any dirt, but others are.
Figure there is a story beneath the story and we know much more than we can print.
However…all help from our guys out there….is needed and appreciated.
g
This is hardly “made up by those who oppose the selling of the Army Reserve property.” To the contrary, this is in part about three Army “soldiers” who harassed, challenged and assaulted us after one of our Sunday Rallies to “Save Our Veterans’ Land.” And “our” land includes the 10 acres where the Army Reserve is, as this was part of the the land grant Deed of 1888 “to be permanently maintained as a National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.” The VA “gave” the 10 acres to the Department of the Army in the mid-1950′s and now the Army Reserve wants to “swap” this half-billion dollar parcel for larger facilities outside LA county where land is “dirt cheap.” Right across the street from the Reserve is 16 acres of Veterans land valued at nearly a billion dollars and it is being “given” away by the VA for a public park. This is about Veterans land that was a “Gift” in perpuity from two patriotic families and everybody but America’s Veteans are benefitting from it. Lest every one has conveniently forgotten, “TODAY’S TROOPS ARE TOMORROW’S VETERANS.” We oppose anyone who has taken away this sacred land exclusively deeded for a National Veterans Home while 20,000 of our fellow Veterans are homeless. Give us back our Land!
I hope you nail the sob’s that harassed you guys ………..let me see if anyone I know is left there so they can make their lives miserable.
this is what we think…….
our boy Waxman has a close buddy helping run this reserve unit
every Sunday Waxman gets a call….there they are again…with the signs about "waxman"
i think someone made a serious misjudgement here
the boys who came out were in uniform and not "driving by"
they looked like they were sent
g
I don’t know if they were sent or not or if the waxman mole is in charge of anything important there are a lot of full time people there maybe 20 to 30 everyday. But the commander isn’t one of them, He is a reservist . in that unit there are a lot of col.,ltc’s,majors etc. In fact you know what a Major says in that unit ? …………Let’s see if I have this right…That was 2 with sugar 4 with sugar and cream and 6 black
Bob Dylan Retains Same Illuminati Law Firm as George W. Bush in Fifteen Year Plagiarism Law Suit. Also suppresses Plaintiff’s First Amendment Rights acquiring a protective order designating all video taped depositions that are incriminating to Dylan confidential
Bob Dylan & his law firm acquired a confidentiality order in a fifteen year plagiarism law suit designating all discovery materials including fifty hours of incriminating video taped depositions as confidential suppressing Plaintiff James Damiano’s first amendment rights to warn the public of Judicial favoritism and corruption.
Camden NJ June 2, 2009 -Few artists can lay claim to the controversy that has surrounded the career of songwriter James Damiano. Twenty-two years ago James Damiano began an odyssey that led him into a legal maelstrom with Bob Dylan that, to this day, fascinates the greatest of intellectual minds.
As the curtain rises on the stage of deceit we learn that CBS used songs and
lyrics for international recording artist, Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan’s name is credited to the songs. One of those songs is nominated for a Grammy as best rock song of the year. Ironically the title of that song is Dignity.
Since auditioning for the legendary CBS Record producer John Hammond, Sr., who influenced the careers of music industry icons Billy Holiday, Bob Dylan, Pete Seger, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan, James has engaged in a multimillion dollar copyright infringement law suit with Bob Dylan.
As per court papers it is judicially uncontested by Bob Dylan and or Bob Dylan’s law firms Manatt, Phelps & Phillips , Parcher Hayes & Snyder, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Heck Brown and Sherry and Sony House Counsel that Bob Dylan and people in Bob Dylan’s entourage have solicited James Damiano’s songs and music for over ten years and eleven months.
Interestingly enough Judge Jerome B. Simandle decided “This court will accept as true Plaintiff’s allegations that Sony represented to him that he would be credited and compensated for his work if Dylan used it. Judge Simandle also stated in his decision “Plaintiff has demonstrated a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendants had access to his work.
