The show tackles how to escape and evade a toxic situation with someone who is using dark psychology for deceitful reasons.
The introduction provides peer-reviewed research provided on the Facebook page. The confession and absolution reveal the variables from both introspect and retrospect.
The workshop provides a guided tour between multiple social media and podcast platforms for on-air listeners who are stuck marching through the unfamiliar path of ambivalence.
The virtual confessional helps those stuck in trauma bonding and addiction decide if they need help and where to find resources.
Collectively, we pass on the information to those who need it and develop a new form of mandated reporting and a virtual confessional service.
Outpost 422 will continue developing the mandated reporting format over the upcoming weeks sharing a convergent media concept that brand owners can use when conveying ideology to their followers.
Convergent media collaborates all forms of communication between print samples and documentary embedded information found in blog hyperlinks. The reporting for Outpost 422 happens at the Jaded Patriot Press.
The confessional news gathering happens at Hell is Warm on the Homefront, which is a service provided by our Autumn Landmine Productions philanthropy investments firm through our Sacred Warrior Fellowship Inc. 501 c 3 corporate social responsibility storyboarding center at Outpost 422.
We are tackling moral injury and keeping communities safe through the development of the independent study workshops.
As a collective, we overcome impossibility by awakening those stuck in post-military and post-pandemic readjustment quicksand navigate their way out.
The following reflection is the first of the series for the Outpost 422 creative writing workshops.
The project was a class freestyle creative non-fiction writing assignment for Madison College where Outpost 422 launched.
Now, the Outpost 422 readjustment research project is teaming up with Phi Theta Kappa assisting those dealing with pandemic readjustment.
The next phase of the Outpost 422 journey seeks organizing a mobile empowerment outreach and writer’s club through the help of the honors society.
The Jaded Patriot Reflection: Democracy dies when veterans neglect their Constitutional advocacy
As a member and witness of the disabled veteran community, I view at Outpost 422 the horror on the horizon quickly overrunning America.
What I see is fear and loathing amongst veterans turning on one another through a divide and conquer mentality competing over VA treatment. The VA refugees have evolved from drifters to a jaded patriot community.
Their egomania has them lost at sea in the system of VA bureaucracy.
The Veterans Administration has programmed Post 9/11 veterans believing they are the industrious breed.
Those who did not serve in the opioid cash crop wars are now becoming lost in the trenches of the home front hell of untreated PTSD. The War on Terror was the mask of sophistry orchestrated by the Bush Administration.
Dick Cheney’s Haliburton, the first corporate citizen, sent our warriors through the gauntlet of experimentation carried out by VA case studies. Hydrocodone nearly killed me.
For two years, I lived in the sea of zombification, while Post 9/11 servicemembers fought for “freedom” harvesting poppy for pain management. Now they shun all of us from the Somalia War era and our need for readjustment treatment.
I waited for two decades for the VA to concede I had post-war trauma telling me the Post 9/11 regime took priority and denied me a chance to recover. My jaded patriot view stems from civilian readjustment outlined in my reflection.
Challenging Stuck Points: 10:12 a.m. Sunday September 25, 2022, Madison, Wis.—I sit here pondering writing what words to say in today’s self-reflection diary. The college dream turned out to be a horror movie. The professors and Greek society push veterans out of the classroom at the university. The community college greets us with unity and diversity.
Why can’t the university see past their fallacy? We live in a world where the college classroom is half empty. What happens when you speak up? You become a liability. The non-essential platform of the second tiered student, ran by the prudent, dictated by the warlocks and witches of the eccentrics, want the jaded patriots on campus to stand down and cower.
We are your tower at Outpost 422. We are watching out for you like guardian angels covered in armor. We are the sentinels standing up for the Constitution. We are hellbent to end the socialist media pollution riddling our children with perversion.
Aversion, commonly practiced by the next generation, groomed by Mark Zuckerberg’s disinformation. Why can’t we as a nation find unity? I see no comfort in oppression. The people of starvation being cleaned out by Joe Biden and his dereliction.
Community standards took away our rights and now we war and fight like programmed idiots turning down the opportunity for equal rights by endorsing conflict race theory. Oppression does not end oppression. Only tyranny wages war. We are in the maze of colonization. The jaded patriots will awaken the nation with truth and fidelity.
Fear and loathing as a pandemic refugee during Gonzo-19
The dishonesty of the Veterans of Foreign Wars robs me of my right to speak up. They continue to disenfranchise my platform. They challenge you and their community to endorse their fraud requesting money for programs like the Wounded Warrior Project who proselytize their cause.
What about those who deal with readjustment PTSD and those who cannot use the VA? Surely there must be a way out of trauma bonding from tyrants who gaslight their enlisted like what happened to me by First Sergeant Raymond Salinas of the 10th Mountain Division. He rode me every day and turned the world against me.
He is responsible for my success. What about yours? Who is your driver/oppressor? We all have one. That’s where we meet in unity as pandemic refugees.
The jaded patriot diary reflection projects the jaded patriot vision of what life looks like as a non-essential member of post-secondary education. May we as a nation reflect upon where we are headed next.
The jaded patriots ride their laptops in the classroom uploading their intellectual property into the Oracle data scraping search engine. The algorithm feasts on creativity sucking the life out of those who were once free from the tyranny of the oligarchs. Art is their only reprieve.
The Constitution bled dry by community standards by a peeping Tom who attended Harvard. Now he holds the cards believing he is God and that humans are his corporate commodity.
We are all bound by the algorithm and corporations tote their agenda through social responsibility rewards programs we think are saving us money. Our time and talent converted into binary code. The time for unity is now.
The awakening is upon us. Stand tall and be the American you are capable of being. Looking back on the Sunday reflection, I realize those who were once my friends are now my enemies.
Their jaded patriotism and view towards me as a disabled veteran slap my face and feel the grimace of disgrace watching their news feed. The algorithm is the plague destroying humanity. The slap is a wakeup call we need unity now more than ever.
For corporate communication 327 at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, we were tasked with describing our various jobs over the last decade. My primary job is calling out oppressors at Outpost 422, which was a service my employer did not provide.
I have spent the last decade developing an unbiased mandated reporting agency that doubles as a class project diary profiling the life of a disabled veteran dealing with the experience of campaign discrimination by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Wisconsin, and the abuse handed down through ranking union members on the shop floor, which started out with being bullied by my union for needing time off for therapy.
The first job I had was the role of being a labor pool employee not knowing what schedule or machine I would work on during the following week.
We were forced overtime and dealt with the Veterans Administration continuously denying my requests for entry into the Vocational Rehabilitation Program. Albert Hess, my gatekeeper working for the VA, would not allow me a fully funded post-secondary education opportunity.
He denied my requests from 1998 to 2018.
I was forced to work in the paper industry by Judge Lisa Beth Vandermaazen of Outagamie County, whose misanthropic prejudice while wearing pajamas under her robe, led me into a maze I could not escape.
Her court order enforcement came from her examination of the previous two years of my life unemployed as a bricklayer. I was elated I finally found a job.
The swing shift atmosphere was the crucible of the experience. I was a hard worker and worked a lot, which landed me a job after the final review from the company’s 90-day probation.
The union left me alone until I needed to take care of my mental health and family. The judge’s dismissal of my child’s mother’s abandonment left me prey to losing my job.
I became a liability the union needed to dispose of.
The class report offers insight regarding the toxic union hall environment I witnessed as the veterans committee representative.
From 2011 to 2014, I was dedicated. Once we moved to 12-hour swing shift, my health began to slip away and needed help.
That’s when everything faded away. Not all of my work experience was bad.
The company helped me recover from my post-military trauma and readjustment obstacles. They provided me a stable job and plenty of work.
The greatest success between company and union was our collaboration with creating a safe workplace and building a veterans council for new hires and employees dealing with untreated trauma from military service.
Little did I know at the time, I was one of those employees. I left the job in 2017 for treatment after referral from the employee assistance program and have been an advocate for corporations since.
Corporations deal with cultish behavior and nepotism by unions, who have zero say on what happens at the union hall, which carries weight on the shop floor the next day at work.
Upon dealing with gaslighting in the workplace being a veteran needing time off from work, the most common remark came in the form of a microaggression stating, “You didn’t fight Post 9/11. You don’t deserve time off. Quit playing games and get to work or you will regret being born.”
The following work history report provides details regarding my transition and readjustment from working in the field to transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater I am currently attending.
As a consortium student attending Madison College and UW Whitewater simultaneously, I have created a website for viewers and the opportunity to relay harassment and intimidation to mandated reporters, who help those stuck in a toxic environment survive what happened both myself and Tom Monfils.
Over the last 10 years, the same occurrence continues to happen and learned my disability triggers narcissists and their appraisal. I have learned to channel what they say as fear and motivate through the words as my drivers for success.
Backlash and recovery have been my primary job throughout my civilian readjustment. I have an intimidating aura. Being an eyewitness to groupthink abuse has developed my registered trademark called “Outpost 422,” which is your first line of defense through the contact feature on the website and provide a contact form in the blogs.
Outpost 422 reports Makavelian behavior through blogs and how to avoid getting wrapped up with cultish behavior by recognizing the behavior and turning abuse into success.
The next phase of my career is the development of workshop mandated reporting. The workshop and workplace awareness service awakens employees of their rights, offers legal documents outlining when the employee should go outside the workplace and report above the head of human resources and opens avenues of escape through communication relay to mandated reporters.
As an advocate who understands the symbolic protest of the number 22, we who have attempted suicide in the workplace make a statement there is a problem and call the media to attention, which landed me in treatment and forced me to find another career.
From 2012 to 2022, the hostile experiences working in both the paper industry and university learning environment have proven the truth abusive people are relentless. Outpost 422 provides cover and shelter during the storm.
The exchanges between management as a union member were professional. Dealing with the inept with no background in management felt daunting.
Managers worked with what they could and have a deep respect for their plight.
Imagine someone with a sixth-grade education running a paper machine trying to comprehend the concepts of mutual respect. The senior ranking union employee decided what workers received preferential treatment like pets in a pet store.
The union regulated between two tiers. A nepotistic first tier and the lower class second tier, which I was assigned and given the name “Jethro,” insinuating I was a free loader.
The workplace was a prison yard, and the union condoned the behavior. Tom Monfils spoke up just like me. The only difference? I knew my time was up and needed to escape.
Outpost 422 became my strategy through entrepreneurship courses fixing the potholes of having to use employee assistance programs and the role companies play.
Unions corroborate and conspire at union halls. Their methods undermine the good of the people. As the next phase of the story unfolds, imagine fighting for each paycheck and surviving on little hope.
The United Steel Workers preys on veterans dealing with readjustment and have someone standing up to them for the interest of fairness that companies, not unions, provide the tools for disabled veteran readjustment success.
Outpost 422 is my Veterans Crisis Line story and a workshop teaching those stuck in trauma how to avert and escape with minimal damage. The system does not protect those who blow the whistle.
Blow the whistle anyway. You can do so by filling out the contact form below:
On June 8, 2021, the Outpost 422 interactive investigative capstone journey began at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater through an open records request seeking the last known whereabouts and location of Wisconsin Air National Guardsman 1st Lt. Jerome A. Volk under the guidance of Dr. James Kates.
The investigation, conducted and facilitated by the Outpost 422 project, historically featured new methods of storytelling never used before. The following bullet points detail the project’s trademarked social responsibility reporting style as:
The first interactive pandemic capstone project featuring a new form of convergent journalism media and workshop pilot written for pandemic refugee and veteran civilian readjustment.
A WordPress mobile press room converging hard news public affairs investigative journalism with brand development through YouTube documentary storytelling along with social media livestream reporting.
Being the first convergent media pandemic Gonzo-mentary converging both corporate brand development with the university reporter’s blog diary through firsthand account coming out of lockdown.
A prose combining Gonzo journalism with pandemic livestream documentary storytelling. The Gonzo blog diary features the reporter’s ongoing barriers and facilitators for success attending both Madison College and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
A reporting workshop model documenting the ongoing social and virtual struggles with pandemic reporting on social media, a method converging present tense with valedictory format for chronologically reporting during tragic times, along with a university blog tracking the current state of the pandemic through a style called “Gonzo-19.” Gonzo-19 profiled the non-essential value of forgotten patriots. The workshop copy editing source provided by the Jaded Patriot Press evaluates submissions through the oversight of Bob Cobb Freelance Ink LLC.
The independent study and capstone investigation research serve two purposes. One being a social responsibility team building business model strategically working as a cold case rescue attempt of an MIA, and second, an opportunity for research grant funding for developing the evolution of convergent media coming out of the pandemic through workshops.
The capstone project turned independent study aids in the understanding of both storytelling methods and business models investigative bloggers can use for engaging and training viewers values provided through social responsibility and team building workshops.
The Investigation
Volk’s investigation started out during the month of August 2021, when a commemorative 70-year reflection ad was placed in the Royal Purple, which doubled as a flow code crowdsource collaboration for corporate and health communication advocacy at the Whitewater campus.
The ad placement with the university press represented the public relations outreach of Outpost 422 through social responsibility. The ad began the call to action for the POW MIA and recognition of the 70th year of Volk’s disappearance converging objective reporting with subjective storytelling as a student operating a brand as a class project.
During the investigation, on March 15, 2022, the Outpost 422 brand became a registered trademark causing quite the stir in the communications department.
The purpose of the investigation sought the retrieval of documented archive regarding Volk’s last flight on a bombing run in North Korea for an interactive journalism capstone, which incorporated records into a public affairs feature examining documents through a slide show presentation on YouTube.
The slide show interacts with the Outpost 422 lobby through both investigation reporting and press release converging public affairs journalism with public relations.
The Gonzo-mentary reporting style drives the reader through the fine line between objective and subjective convergent journalism, providing the tabling narrative for a future monumental interactive display, offering historical narration through flow code interaction narrated by Volk’s niece, Jeri Volk-Barry.
Volk-Barry’s narration maintains objectivity while the blog subjectively documents what went on behind the scenes on the Outpost 422 Facebook page. Volk-Barry, from a public relations standpoint, maintains her uncle’s namesake at Volk Airfield, whose words echo her uncle’s efforts.
“I speak to you today as a family member of a Wisconsin MIA whose remains have never been repatriated,” the words shared by Volk’s niece advocating for his return with her address to senators at public hearings. “I was named after my uncle, 1st Lt. Jerome A. Volk, who was killed during a low-level bombing run on November 7, 1951.”
Both obliged interviews providing in-depth information regarding the UW MIA Project’s success and current mission surveying an MIA’s location in Belgium.
“No one should underestimate the pain of not having closure,” Volk-Barry said.
Her family witnessed her father mourn and grieve endlessly his entire life, which robbed him of the ability to recover. The investigation wrapped up on May 6, 2022, followed by a revelation after our interview.
Konsitzke began working with the university developing a cold case binder with her uncle’s information collected from the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
Currently, the Outpost 422 project seeks contributors who offer submissions from a social responsibility subjective vantage point as a social media canvass. Throughout the investigation, the collaboration of POW MIA affairs through Outpost 422 website, profiled the last known whereabouts of Volk and his MIA profile as an interactive class project, deliberated with the professor after class by relaying findings, and assists the university as a DPAA lobby for negotiations advocating for Volk’s return through the University of Wisconsin directed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Biotechnology Center.
“When I started the project in 2015, we started working with cases and a family member approached us,” Konisitzke said sharing his mission’s history. “A family member approached us by the name of Jeri Volk-Barry. There was that ‘aha’ moment when she informed us that Jerome Volk was her uncle and missing.”
70 Years Not Forgotten
Volk served with the Wisconsin Air National Guard, who took a death-defying leap and re-entered service as a P-51 Mustang pilot while attending Marquette University. According to information gathered and provided by the Wisconsin Air National Guard, “Volk volunteered for training at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada,” where Skunkworks launched the F-80 Shooting Star after World War II in 1943.
Volk’s last flight with the 35th Fighter-Bomber Squadron recorded his plane shot down by enemy artillery fire on November 7, 1951. November 7, 2021, marks his 70th year still missing.
The investigation and 70th year documentary sought the development of a business concept called “social responsibility,” which doubled as a team building project and PSA called “I Will Not Forget.”
The following recalling of events witnessed many public figures “playing politics,” according to an interview with Dept. of Finance Secretary Peter Barca (D-Burlington), with the POW MIA issue during the 2021-2023 session. “I Will Not Forget” emerged as an inclusivity campaign tackling the moral dilemma with forgetting the POW MIA due to the extinction of print news and social media lack of ethics with cancel culture.
Prior to the Barca interview, the first interview revealed there was a military family connection between the author of a POW MIA bill during the 2021-2023 session, which was the central focus for the final public affairs capstone project.
The investigation uncovered a connection linking a senator doubling as the Truax Airfield public relations officer with the niece of the missing pilot, who lives in the senator’s district and the director of the project listed on the bill.
Upon contacting Maj. Eric Dunford, program manager for Volk airfield, the name drop of Volk’s niece was mentioned where the bill’s military family discovery began unfolding.
Volk-Barry, of the 43rd Senate District, noted during the interview she spoke at the December 14, 2021, public hearing backing the bill authored by her senator, Roger Roth (R-WI), which would allocate $360,000-worth of state funding to The UW Missing-in-action Recovery and Identification Project, who hosts a convergence research-driven program, boasting his project located three MIAs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison so far.
The most common denominator amongst POW MIA advocates like Volk-Barry share their passion for rescuing Wisconsin MIAs exclusively through Konsitzke’s program because the program works on the state level.
According to Volk-Barry, sharing her public comment to senators at the Senate Bill 446 public hearing in 2019, the state-level program allows Wisconsin an opportunity with crossing the demilitarized zone in North Korea through the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
Volk-Barry’s advocacy shared through Facebook messenger throughout the investigation shared her primary passion—bringing closure to families through the repatriation of remains.
Volk-Barry believes one day, through the efforts of the UW MIA Project, her uncle will return home. She noted his crash site is off limits due to the current impasse with North Korea on the federal level.
The frustration heard by Volk-Barry’s public address shared the burden of the families of the missing.
During the month of September 2021, on POW MIA Recognition Day, the crowdfund search began inspecting documents after receiving access to the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. By November, a Royal Purple reporter asked how he could get involved.
Fellow capstone classmate Aaron Xiong wrote a piece regarding the search efforts at Outpost 422, who agreed to conduct a livestream interview.
The Senate Bill 602 Capstone 486 Investigation
The debate over politicizing the POW MIA issue revealed Rep. Jim Steinke (R-5th District Assembly Leader) and Assembly Majority Leader Robin Vos (R-Assembly Speaker) withheld the opportunity for legislative approval serving on the joint committee on finance for the state.
During the governor’s cabinet interview, members came forward speaking on behalf of the governor’s position regarding the decision for denial of the bill. Dept. of Finance Secretary Peter Barca discussed his astonishment with members of the committee and the bipartisan support the bill received but did not pass due to “someone playing politics.”
The investigation provided insight regarding the politicizing of the POW MIA issue during the election year.
“For the life of me, it’s difficult to understand,” Barca said when asked why the bill did not pass. “Financially, we certainly have the resources. We have over a $2 billion surplus.”
The investigation retrieved records, flight logs and data from the Wisconsin Air National Guard, documents provided by the Volk family, along with several interviews.
The first interview took place in Appleton, Wisconsin, at Sen. Roger Roth’s office. During the interview, Roth explained his frustrations with DPAA and that “the Department POW MIA Accounting Agency is failing.”
The Next Phase of the “I Will Not Forget” CampaignAs POW MIA Recognition Day passed on September 16, the lobby continues advocating for bringing Volk home. The Outpost 422 “I Will Not Forget” campaign teams up with Jesse Schworck, Lion of Judah, House of Rastafari founder, building bridges for inclusivity by tabling annually at the University Center. The group helps those struggling with social isolation from the pandemic learn new methods for mindfulness grounding.
The Outpost 422 website will begin working as a mandated reporter while the campaign develops workshops for those feeling left out find a group that supports them.
The coverage of the fall 2022 semester reports through UW-W blogs as a federal lobby seeking Schworck’s ministry as a method of keeping the POW MIA memory alive. In closing, the journey unearthed Volk’s exact location.
The next phase of the journey will connect with the William S. Middleton Veterans Administration Hospital by building bridges for hope between veterans being discharged after mental health treatment in the University of Wisconsin system.
The POW MIA issue, through academic honors workshops, opens doors to new horizons by connecting both the veteran and their families with hope, tranquility and mindfulness public affairs creative non-fiction journaling preparing them for a career as professional writers contributing to the various blogs developing a chaplain outreach and sanctuary next.
OUTPOST 422 PRESS RELEASE—Welcome to The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater “I Will Not Forget” 70-year Volk Capstone Exhibit. On POW MIA Recognition Day, the missing speak their voice in print. At Outpost 422, we publicize the POW MIA and ongoing repatriation issue.
We remember them with our class projects for inclusivity and transparency.
The table is a reflection of the ongoing politicizing of the POW MIA.
During the 2021-2023 session, the Joint Committee on Finance, per Dept. of Finance Secretary Peter Barca, whose integrity backs the POW MIA chair’s honor, indicated ranking members threw the funding bill in the trash.
The interviews revealed the election season was looming and the opponent would benefit if the bill passed.
Barca understands veterans and their families.
So does Sen. Roger Roth, who wrote the bill and serves the Wisconsin Air National Guard. All historic events with Volk’s open records investigation portfolio captured the multimedia journalism vantage point.
From public affairs investigative reporting while chronologically following journey of the bill from public hearing to garbage can through documentary.
The public affairs investigation received archive from the Volk family, whose interview led the viewer on a journey of mourning while livestreaming.
From Jeri Volk-Bari, Lt. Volk’s niece, and the family’s endless mourning, the reality of the bill’s rejection drove the need for inclusivity with the POW MIA.
Volk-Barry’s words shared at the Senate Bill 446 public hearing, seeking $180,000 per year per session to the University of Wisconsin Missing-in-action Recovery and Identification Project, drove the gears of the table’s investigation.
The capstone exhibit asks those who visit Volk’s display make sense out of the Department POW MIA Accounting Agency. The agency’s lethargic recovery in contrast to the efforts by the UW MIA project so far prove the investment was viable for Wisconsin.
We are investigating Volk’s last known whereabouts and developing a virtual lobby and press operation at Outpost 422, which is a congressional ad hoc lobby capstone.
We advocate for a POW MIA inclusivity safe zone on campus.
Please scan the flow code and let us know if you would like more information. Leave your email for updates with the Jesse Schworck documentary.
Upon receiving an email from Dr. Kenny Yarbrough at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the ongoing complaints filed with the university have been handed over for investigation. The topic: Cultural incongruity.
Sadly, since the beginning of the college journey, many enforcers have stepped up to the plate preventing the truth from surfacing. The university does not want the public alerted regarding our experience as veterans who attend school as non-traditional students.
We deal with guard dogs and bullies preventing us from coming forward. Now is the time for all of us to profile predators who build attrition barriers to our success.
Veterans attending college as middle-aged students get stuffed away with disenfranchisement and now, we are speaking up through academic literature reviewed sources.
The truth? Veterans and servicemembers at the university get treated like we are second rate. We carry the crux of dealing with unwelcoming rhetoric from our professors and administrators.
We deal with hostile learning environments and social isolation by traditional students and members of the Greek society.
We are building a task force for facing cultural incongruity through the Veterans Administration by placing mandated reporters in the classroom who report to the Outpost 422 website.
The Outpost 422 journey began with adopting the 10th Mountain Division Apache pilots and their crew in Afghanistan at forward operating base Fenty. The project grew into a registered trademark providing cover for those dealing with abuse from all angles after transferring from Madison College.
As of now, we are adopting the POW MIA issue for college class projects as a symbol of unity amongst military culture on campus seeking the empowerment of families and those forgotten.
As we move forward, we seek the assembly of a campus task force that reports all occurrences to the Veterans Administration and our federal delegates at the Joint House and Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Outpost 422 relays email complaints regarding unwelcoming rhetoric and abuse that build barriers with student veterans and servicemembers’ success along with unwelcoming exchanges cultivating social isolation on campus.
Social isolation creates attrition. Failure to accommodate veterans and their readjustment to college is an alarming issue.
Being singled out is the current status quo. The guard tower relays your complaint to ranking delegates and senior ranking officers of the military.
The website is your mandated reporting service. Simply fill out the contact form and let’s get you squared away with respect on campus.
