OP-ED—My first trip to Vegas was in 2017. I was about to drop out of treatment for Cognitive Processing Therapy.

The Veterans Administration, through Building 22 in Madison, Wisconsin, could not honor my request with my employer for missing work.

I did not want to drop out and was left in despair knowing I had to return to work or face backlash from my employer.

On July 7, 2017, I quit my job and made the right choice. Stay in treatment and go back to college.

The program helped me work through intrusive thoughts and stay in the moment. Going to treatment was not easy and there is a price.

Sacrifice is the only solution if you are dealing with suicidal ideations.

The Reason for Boycott

The Op-ed discussion examines the poor moral code and leadership of organizations like Rolling Thunder Inc. and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Between falsely publishing my service officer documents and retaliation for standing up to a bully on campus, I strongly urge you to think twice before blindly donating or joining these groups.

Both groups believe their ideology will end veteran suicide. Yet, those advocating tolerate veteran abuse and have experienced their retaliatory ends that drive the need for publishing Op-eds.

Vegas is the answer to ending veteran suicide. We must provide vouchers instead of commercials paid for by fundraising with organizations like the VFW and Rolling Thunder Inc.

The groups condone bullying and intimidation, which include topics like campaign discrimination. The organizations are crude and use gang mentality for membership drives.

The eyewitness accounts of senior leadership could be best described as deplorable.

Post-treatment Reality

I took a trip to Las Vegas after quitting my job and draining my 401 k. My well-being from dealing with a toxic union took its final toll on me.

The members of my union harassed me for needing to use the employee assistance program that led to the commitment of ending my life in protest to the way I was being treated as an apprentice. The union I worked for acted like a cult.

For this reason, I am officially declaring Outpost 422 as a branded lobby, which will begin advocating through federal chief-of-staff status shutting down the bullying of veterans who seek mental health treatment in America.

Let’s just say I was tormented for seeking PTSD treatment and told to “grow some thick skin” by my area vice-president because I did not serve in country during Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan.

The truth? I answered the call of duty twice without hesitation and ended up in a quagmire handed down by the Clinton Administration.

The reality? Not only did my union treat me this way but both the VFW and Rolling Thunder Inc. did too.

25 years of readjustment

I want to share with you my experience as a service officer hoping you reach out to any other organization other than the VFW and Rolling Thunder Inc. when needing help in the 11th hour.

If you are currently in the 11th hour, please download the PTSD Coach app and let’s get you situated.

If you are a family member reading this, please download the app and learn about post-readjustment life and stop throwing “PTSD” around with your rhetoric. You are disenfranchising your loved one.

Later on, I found out the nature of the disorder stemmed from trauma bonding. I get angry when I see officers of the VFW making money off of veteran suicide campaigns who put us on the frontlines and killed us.

Especially when I try to speak up regarding the truth about the 22 and executives of these organizations do all they can to “decrease the number.”

What they don’t realize is veteran suicide and the symbolism of “22” is a bond. Those who commit suicide in Veteran Administration hospital parking lots do so in protest there is something wrong with the hospital’s treatment of veterans.

Cognitive Processing Therapy and Readjustment

April 17, 2017, is my alive day. After moving to Madison, Wisconsin, enrolling in school through the Veterans Administration and committing to readjustment, I began volunteering for veteran organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Little did I know I would get shanghai’d by both past WDVA Woman of the Year State Commander Gundel Metz and the State of Wisconsin Liaison for Rolling Thunder Inc, who conspire against my brand at the VFW Post 1318 in Madison, Wisconsin.

Today, I am speaking up hoping the next veteran like me who decides to move to Dane County doesn’t end up getting railroaded like I did.

Veteran suicide is a scientific variable regarding three obstacles: Stigma, cultural incongruity and feeling socially isolated. 

Veteran organizations like the VFW and Rolling Thunder Inc. are money hungry. 

What makes matters worse is when you see an organization bully veterans in one breath and talk about ending veteran suicide with the other.

As a Veterans Crisis Line survivor, I need no organization speak for me. I speak for my own through Outpost 422.

I will say this much. Had I not gone to Vegas and came back to treatment, I would not be alive today. You want to end veteran suicide? Start sending veterans to Vegas and let them become writers in college.

Through feature writing, we are treated and the best path to ending veteran suicide starts with a commitment to ending stigma.

Gonzo journalism surveys fear and loathing. Through an examination of journaling fear and loathing the suicidal ideation appears.

Writing and meditation end veteran suicide quicker than any money-making VFW drive. The VFW is not friendly to vets like me.

I boycott both organizations because they back bullies. The past Service Officer blogs on this page reflect my truth.

WKOW-

My name is Bradley J. Burt. I am currently filming a documentary about Jesse Schworck and the development of the Lion of Judah.

We are trying to raise awareness about the POW MIA and invited Aaron Rodgers to an interview at Starin Park on POW MIA Recognition Day.

The smoke out raises awareness for military cultural incongruity I have experienced on campus being a veteran with post-war disabilities.

I am meeting with the vice chancellor of student affairs addressing my college experience.

The documentary connects through Gonzo journalism, which is my portfolio for my multimedia freelance journalism workshops. The documentary is for the journalism independent study 498 course.

The topic is fear and loathing.

I have included several items I have trademarked through my intellectual property portfolio called Outpost 422. The class reporting outlet is called the Jaded Patriot Press.

All projects are a part of the independent study 498 portfolio and will be a national field reporter and newsgathering outlet, which started in 2020, covering convergence reporting attending both Madison College and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater serving as the Madison College Clarion general manager of broadcast.

The following videos are excerpts from the upcoming documentary, which discuss Schworck’s upcoming hearing on August 22.

Gonzo-19 Documentary Press Release: The formation of the Wisconsin Cannabis Churches League cooperative – Wisconsin Cannabis Warriors

The “I Will Not Forget” campaign leaves no sacred warrior behind. As of January 1, 2023, thanks to wisvets.com, the Outpost 422 blogger will become a federal lobby.

This is a call to action seeking the dissolving of the veterans lounge at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, which removes Rolling Thunder Inc. and all Veterans of Foreign Wars members from conducting business on campus.

Members of both organizations have committed several restraints with publishing at Outpost 422. We are the resistance taking a stance against cultish behavior and hazing.

The federal lobby website officially opened through UW-W blogs and will develop photo slideshows and monumental flow code POW MIA murals for inclusivity, which doubles as a mandated reporting virtual outreach.

Please pledge to the campaign by endorsing our ten-point plan.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bradley J. Burt

CEO-Outpost 422

As of 12:53 p.m., August 6, 2022, I am declaring the Lion of Judah Rastafari Church my chaplain liaison and detox outreach subcommittee for the federal POW MIA lobby in Washington.

We are setting up a satellite service through the lobby newspaper, the Jaded Patriot Press, at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater through my Outpost 422 registered trademark corporate and health communication employee assistance capstone projects.

The Lion of Judah Rastafari provides heightened sobriety detox services on 12th step calls. We are assembling the 511th Rescue and Recovery Brigade Detox Chaplain service.

We are united under the Wisconsin Cannabis Warriors federal lobby and are starting up our newspaper through the Jaded Patriot Press UW-W blog press room headquartered at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

We are starting up a 90-day medicinal Cannabis sample and survey through corporate social responsibility declaring the “I Will Not Forget” campaign the campus distribution service.

The service is provided to members of religious groups and those who support the ideology of a permissive sacramental usage of religious Cannabis on campus.

The survey and sample examine the spiritual void of post-traumatic grief, and the revitalization of Cannabis spiritual recovery.

The doctrine will provide insight through the development of literature reviewed scientific research, and the creation of a universal on campus religious recovery practice.

That practice is called the Sacred Warrior Search and Rescue Foundation, which is a federal lobby sharing the experience of the Lion of Judah Rastafari Church’s attack by the county and city of Madison government.

Outpost 422 is the archive collecting information as history unfolds.

You can reach us at either the Outpost 422, the Jaded Patriot Press or the “I Will Not Forget” Facebook campaign page. We are seeking legal support and accounting services for our Whitewater sanctuary service.

We are cultivating inclusion amongst all warriors, not just veterans. We are helping the families of POW MIA find closure and bring the healing power to those who grieve.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bradley J. Burt

CEO-Outpost 422 Registered Trademark

Madison, Wisconsin—Outpost 422 CEO Bradley J. Burt’s class project became a registered trademark on March 15, 2022. His class project tracks his progress as a disabled veteran who received treatment from the Veteran Administration’s Cognitive Processing Therapy program.

The project started at Madison College through brand development with the Center for Entrepreneurship, which provides suicide awareness and adopted the 10^th Mountain Division Bravo Troop 6-6 CAV, who is featured fighting in Iraq in the Netflix documentary “Apache Warrior.”

After completing the documentary storytelling course, Burt set out as a university backpack journalist introducing his trademark as a mechanism that helps those struggling with trauma find creative outlets. The trademark began by providing multimedia content to those overseas.

Burt’s blogger acts as the means for providing entertainment to the troops who visit his website Outpost 422.com, which tracks his writing progress dealing with brain trauma and provides examples of A+ graded papers for those pursuing a career in the writing field.

The trademark was featured in G.I. Jobs Magazine as one of the Student Veteran Leadership Award recipients in 2021. Burt is recognized as the first convergent media journalist at the University of Wisconsin.

Burt completed his convergent media capstone and is moving onto developing the capstone into an independent study and investigative journalism workshop that locates POW MIA open records through the Department POW MIA Accounting Agency.

Burt wrestles with ongoing barriers between both schools, who deals with retaliation at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.

Burt notified WDVA Secretary Mary Kolar regarding his interference received by Marines on campus that represent her organization. She continues to ignore Burt’s texts that relay the need for change.

Burt must seek Congress and the Veterans Administration in Wisconsin through the press, which addresses calling the parties forward, who are the recipients of complaints and cease and desist emails.

Burt’s requests seek the same VA accommodations he received at Madison College that the University of Wisconsin has ignored for three years. In 2021, Burt went without services after his social worker left for a different job.

The VA treats veterans short term, who are left vulnerable to intimidation and retaliation from their transfer schools who refuses them their VA care because the program is not authorized at the state level, according to vice chancellors and administrators.

When transferring from Madison College, where the Veterans Administration treats trauma on campus through the Veterans Integration To Academic Leadership program (VITAL), the university will not take accountability and allows student veterans from their VSO organization access to confidential information.

Burt was left unprotected at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where administrators allowed the president of the Veterans and Servicemembers Organization the ability to interfere with the veterans service coordinator at the time, whose name is Richard Harris, which led to an outburst in the Anderson Library where Harris received administrative leave advocating for Burt’s services.

Burt seeks the support of all organizations for creating a universal program for treating trauma on all University of Wisconsin campuses. You would think his campus community would support his efforts, right? Wrong.

Despite all of the ongoing turmoil over transferring services, Burt seeks help from Congress with locating the returned remains from North Korea for his independent study 498 class coming up in fall that helps him cope with retaliation by the university. Honoring the POW MIA is a selfless act worth fighting.

Burt has attempted to work with state-level leadership at the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Rolling Thunder Inc., who falsely published documents and restrained him from sharing his experience in publication as their Post Service Officer, which is immoral.

All avenues have been exhausted.

Burt sought the VFW as an advocate on campus. Instead, representatives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Rolling Thunder Inc., Student Veterans of America, Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, faculty and administrators are putting barriers in place that create cultural incongruity and social isolation on campus, which is against the law.

To the press, please pass the word along there is a major issue with intrusion at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawk campus. Please fill out the contact form if you would like to schedule an interview.

The upcoming projects seek contributors and investigators for open records and interviewing. The projects are a part of a new privatized method of civilian readjustment.

Outpost 422 is a pilot for a future readjustment program for all veterans despite their discharge. The program was created at Madison College for a class project, which is a call to action for a social media overwatch and virtual outreach relay system.

The program takes the veteran from enrollment at Madison College to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater journalism major aiding all who use the service every step of the way.

Think you have what it takes? Got the guts to jump in the deep end of the pool and learn to swim the rocky waters of being labelled as a non-traditional second-rate student?

Simply fill out the contact form in the tool bar and let’s get you back in the classroom right away.

The ongoing crucible in Dane County with Post 279 of Marshall, Wisconsin, is the see-saw argument at the county meetings regarding who is the commander and adjutant.

Dane County Commander Gerald Scallisi loses his cool on staff members who question why they were removed.

Caleb and Valar Rogers, Post adjutant and commander, were escorted out at county meetings, which I witnessed happening as a service officer. Nothing was brought before me other than a phone call by my commander stating the two were being removed.

“For what?” I asked. I was told this did not concern me, which immediately became suspicious I was cosigning to something criminal like what happened to me at Post 501 of Madison, Wisconsin, who thrusted me into the role of adjutant during the pandemic.

The future is uncertain for the two candidates. Caleb continues to reach out to leadership who tell him to join the department holding Post but refuses.

Caleb has attempted to publish the following letter to the editor with no luck. Both began a Post revitalization effort and received backlash from higher authorities in the organization.

Outpost 422 was a reporting agency to the American Legion. Our press has removed our reporting from this scandal.

The American Legion District 3 continues to ostracize and forcefully remove Caleb and Valar. Both are long-standing members with a family history leading the American Legion.

One of the two mentioned to me at a meeting they received death threats. Upon hearing this, the choice was made to finish out the term as service officer and remove the outpost from ever serving the Legion again.

The future is at stake for the organization. Although the two are public enemy number ones, the two continue fighting the good fight.

Cultural incongruity is a clash between two cultures competing for resources. Culture shock happens and student veterans begin to experience unwelcome exchanges, which happens in the veteran’s lounge at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

From the vantage point of a disabled veteran who attends two schools, and did so as a service officer, I witnessed cultural incongruity over a resource at the Anderson Library, which condoned adversity, favoring the Student Veterans of America instead of providing all with an alternative other than a Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsored program.

Not all veterans serve in war. As a member, the VFW has treated me horribly and do not wish to use their services. Instead, I am asking my brand have equal access to the same resources the Student Veterans of America are allowed.

This semester, we are facing cultural incongruity head on by meeting with the vice chancellor of student affairs for resolve before going to the Department of Education to report my college experience.

Our meeting will address specific requests, which include the discussion of backlash I have received last semester. Gaslighting and intimidation happened by the veterans services coordinator, which according to Aristotle is unethical and unwarranted.

A disabled veteran has the right to their privacy, which has been breached several times according to complaints from other veterans on campus. As an advocate for future transfers, I want to open a new path to civilian adjustment when conflict arises.

Uncovering the truth through research is the best defense for creating resolution. The truth is often hidden in plain sight and the student receives backlash for accommodations.

The exchange between students grows into a hostile learning environment and the veteran with a mental health diagnosis comes out the loser.

There is a mechanism for resolution here at Outpost 422.

Please join our mission. We are bringing cultural incongruity awareness to the University of Wisconsin through POW MIA inclusion.

As a collective bargain, we will face cultural incongruity with an open-door policy and access to a Veterans Affairs social worker in times of distress. Veterans deserve a quality of life allowing them success on campus.

The POW MIA are treated as the highest authority. We collaborate and publish the issue of bringing closure to families as a means for inclusion.

All Americans are afflicted by the POW MIA issue. Simply pledge to publish at least one item in remembrance of missing servicemembers left abroad. Fill out the contact form if you would like to be a contributor or post your contributions on the Outpost 422 Facebook page.

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater can change the adversarial campus climate by a simple choice to build unity through POW MIA inclusion—the highest honor amongst all who served.

The following update reflects recent occurrences involving the next phase of the crowdsource and open records investigation of Korean War POW MIA.

Rolling Thunder Inc. Chapter 5, WI was removed from the future strategic planning operation being formed under the Outpost 422 registered trademark at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, which has launched a UWW blog for the investigative research project.

The Occurrence

On Saturday June 9, 2022, I reached out to Rolling Thunder Chapter 5, WI president and state liaison asking for help who shut me down.

I asked if it would be OK for Rolling Thunder Inc. national headquarters assist with connecting the outpost to the Department POW MIA Accounting Agency. I notified the chapter at the meeting a call was placed to Congressman Mark Pocan who has not returned my call.

After a post-membership meeting retaliatory conversation with the president, who expressed anger over published content on this website, I have resigned my membership.

I was unaware there was a problem. Either way, no organization has the right to restrict my publishing.

The Next Phase

The question I seek, “Where are the remains located from North Korea that were returned to the United States?”

The independent study 498 investigation is cold case and needs support. I am going through every nook and cranny with the Joint Senate and House Committee on Foreign Affairs and asking for an assembly of an ad hoc press subcommittee called “Outpost 422.”

The next phase of the journey excuses Rolling Thunder Inc. and the Veterans of Foreign Wars from any involvement due to recent occurrences.

Removal of Organizations

I admonish both organizations for tolerating abuse of authority that I have experienced by leadership on the state level.

The fourth estate of the Constitution protects free speech in the press. Those who attempt to shut down any publication of Outpost 422 from any organization are in violation of prior restraint.

The project picks up where the capstone left off and need help locating Wisconsin Air National Guard Pilot First Lieutenant Jerome A. Volk.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bradley J. Burt

CEO-Outpost 422

Little did I know, upon transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater from Madison College, the journalism courses I took at the community college prepared me for future success as a broadcast, print and web journalism major.

I was unaware of the obstacles ahead and want to warn all of you who are headed down the path of journalism reporting. Starting out at Madison College through the journalism certificate program is your best bet.

Madison College provides innovative multimedia training not offered at the UW.

As a student with a disability, faculty from the Madison College journalism department provided a tutor. I found out later that multimedia tutoring was not available at the UW.

You are on your own. 

The UW expects the journalism major learn complex storytelling technology in two weeks. A student with disabilities cannot compete.

The software was extremely complex and hard to learn at first, which took me an entire semester to learn through labs and tutoring at Madison College.

Madison College was my saving grace and hope you will join future workshops to save you too.

We are all in this together. I want to help you learn the tricks of the trade to get you the best grade.

During the completion of the interactive blog and podcast capstone, the opportunity arose, which allowed the use of this brand for creating an on-campus virtual convergent media workshop that will help students succeed.

Now that the capstone is in the books, this website is here to help you uncover the miracle of Adobe software storytelling as your virtual outreach in times of distress.

After successfully completing the major spring semester ’22, an opportunity was presented, which led to working with the capstone professor, who loves helping students succeed in the journalism field.

We are collaborating during the fall ’22 semester through the honors societies between both Madison College and UW Whitewater by providing a welcoming opportunity for those who are new to convergent media.

The website is in the process of developing a workshop seeking aid for those who struggle by creating an interactive training model for the Independent Study 498 course.

Upon taking courses like documentary storytelling and social media writing for the journalism certificate program, the labs were helpful, and the professors were top notch.

After interviewing key figures at both broadcast and print reporting outlets, I later learned the pandemic created new technologies and got to work manifesting convergent media into a registered trademark.

The interviews recalled one thing in common.

The major press outlets expect journalism majors possess the knowledge of these new technologies, which are captured on this website.

Outpost 422 is a backpack journalism training workshop seeking those in academic distress find their way out and was a pilot written for the Practicum 2 course.

The pandemic has converged all forms of reporting and storytelling into one method called “convergence.”

The new reporting methods from the pandemic require students the responsibility of learning Adobe software as a major requirement. The task is extremely difficult if you have no background or experience.

But there is a solution. 

Come join the interactive Outpost 422 Multimedia Resource Center on Facebook and reach out here in the meantime.

The page contains previous posts and blogs from items on YouTube and Linked In Learning that will help you succeed. Do not wait until the semester begins.

Start learning Adobe software right away. Convergent media standards in the media require proficiency usage and implementation of Adobe software for visual story telling.

Keep checking back for upcoming announcements and fill out the tool bar contact form if you need immediate assistance.
