Some will go to any lengths to
discredit our efforts.
A few examples of the wild stories that can be found on the internet
about the
POW NETWORK and it's volunteers.

According to recently released documents
Chuck and Mary Schantag of the POW Network,
(www.pownetwork.org)
are under investigation by the Department of
Veterans Affairs.
Veterans Rights advocate Jere Beery has
received confirmation from the VA Inspector
General’s office that a case number had been
assigned to the investigation and that their
findings would be forthcoming........ |
COMMENT: The VA investigation was closed. There was no evidence to back
up the stated charges made by Jere Berry.
VAOIG Concludes Investigation of
POW Network
WWW.FIREBASENETWORK.NET
By Staff Writer: Rick Townsend
firebaseadrian@tc3net.com
October 6, 2006,
Before the Department of Veterans
Affairs lost its first laptop
computer, combat
Vietnam
veterans, Jere Beery and Gene Simes
were already concerned with personal
data security within the Cabinet
Level Agency........
.....Last week, Jere Beery received
the results of the VAOIG
investigation. In the extremely
vague and brief two paragraph
memorandum, Daniel L. Cooper of the
VAOIG concluded "No evidence was
found showing that information had
been provided to the POW Network or
that information had been requested
by the Schantags"....

POWNETWORK.ORG, a tax-evading, criminal scam corporation run from
Skidmore, Missouri by Chuck and Mary Schantag have posted an
illegal, defamatory web page accusing me of somehow being a "phony"--which
shows they have a reckless disregard for the truth and facts. ......
Combat veteran Gene Simes, leader of Veterans for Veteran
Connection has evidence that suggests POWNETWORK.ORG cashes-in on
every so-called "false veteran" they can find or
concoct--from the U.S. Government's Veteran's Administration (VA)
which is illegally supplying them with veteran's private data.
......
Sadly, I am not alone; I know of so far 6 other veterans who have
been wrongly defamed by POWNETWORK.ORG; one of them, veteran Jere
Beery well-intentionally placed his DD-214 report of his military
service on the internet hoping to prove his background--only to have
it used as a veritable Pandora's Box from which Valor Vultures
nit-picked it to try to find offense--and failing that--make-up ones
to harp on so they could have a convenient public victim to feed
their racket. ....
COMMENT: There was no evidence to back
up the stated charges made by Jere Berry nor Gene Simes. The
afore mentioned Beery DD214 contained obvious alterations, and no
disclaimer was posted that the additions were added by Mr. Beery
himself. While Mr. Beery HAD earned the awards, the appropriate
action would have been to post a DD125, or minimally note that HE,
himself had added the awards to the DD214 he posted on the internet.
...."cashes-in" - at no time
has the POW NETWORK received a reward, bounty, kickback, or payment
for tips to law enforcement, the VA or the FBI that have resulted in
prosecution. |

These people Chuck and Mary Schantag steals the valor of
us military veterans, then approach the veteran and they
"ASK" for a donation to remove the false information
that they themselves posted about said veteran. They
discuss me. Recently Chuck and Mary Schantag where both
arrested for possession and distrebution of Crystal
methamphetamine. read about all they have don on the
link at the bottom
|
COMMENT: Neither of the Schantags have ever been
arrested
or charged for ANY offense; most especially on charges
of drug manufacture or distribution and
we encourage ANYONE with an interest in this matter to
search all law enforcement and court records for any
evidence of ANY illegal activities on the part of the
Schantags or the POW NETWORK. For those wishing to
perform such a search of official documents and records,
the Schantags reside in NODAWAY County, Missouri.”

When you finish this article you will be faced with a decision. You
will either choose to ignore that this is going on, or you will help
find a way to stop it.
One of the most common symptoms associated with combat related Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder is paranoia, the delusional fear that
someone is out to hurt you. Recent revelations within the nation’s
veteran community seem to imply these fears are not all that
imaginary. .....
COMMENT: Many claim they have "evidence" of their
service, while we could locate none with an FOIA filed with NPRC. IF that
evidence was ever provided, and the individual remains posted - the
"evidence" did not back up the claims made and reported by
witnesses, news articles, social networking sites, or family
members. The other possibility - no evidence was ever provided.

The event that started this entire story was when Jere Beery
learned he was under unauthorized investigation by Chuck and
Mary Schantag of POW Network pownetwork.org. The
questionable investigation came about when Diane Weller
publicly accused Jere Beery of falsifying his military
service record and embellishing his DD214. Gene Simes was
also targeted for a similar shake down by the group. .... |

.....There is currently a group of self-appointed “government
agents” targeting disabled veterans receiving disability
compensation from the VA. Their objective is to locate and prosecute
disabled veterans that are receiving VA disability compensation that
they are not entitled to. Their main focus is on veterans with a
PTSD rating. They claim that the VA healthcare system is being
bilked dry by phony PTSD claims. ....
COMMENT: There was no evidence to back up the stated
charges made by Jere Berry nor Gene Simes. The "objective" and "main
focus" stated above is totally false. |
| We could spent $100 a month for "reputation repair".... But it
is our opinion that the "repair" sites are owned by the "complaint"
sites. Why waste our money on less than half a dozen
disgruntled individuals or those that continue to copy their letters
as if they had written them.... years after the originals were
posted. Our work speaks for itself. We continue to work with law
enforcement, the VA, and military historians to make sure an
accurate history of our military service members is maintained for
future generations. |

Meanwhile, someone continues to add pages to
FACEBOOK in our name, usually with a spelling error, or purposeful
alteration of name. It usually includes our POW NETWORK logo and
our photo. The bigoted content is meant to embarrass us, and
create misgivings in those that find it. When found, and reported, FACEBOOK removes it. The POW NETWORK does NOT/will NOT maintain a
FACEBOOK nor MYSPACE site nor TWITTER account. |
