GAO Hearing???

Wasn't there supposed to be a hearing in September?  For victims, survivors to testify before the committee?

There was talk of one but I believe that was an error due to miscommunication, deliberate or otherwise, on the part of Craptey.

I think I've heard the same twisted tale The Wandering One has...the GAO met with a group of advocates and parents who lost their kids in programs.  The GAO wanted their involvement kept on the down low so they wouldn't alert every piece of program trash to their actions.

The news of the GAO involvement made it to CAFETY, and  someone couldn't control their hole and splashed the news across the CAFETY home page.  Let's see, what board member of CAFETY is weasel-like, whiny, and given to acting and speaking before his brain is even in gear?  Yeah, it could be more than one... if I were betting the kids' college funds, I'd put the wad down on Lombrowski.  

The result of CAFETY making the GAO activities public resulted in them being flooded with people and stories.  Only two investigators were supposed to handle the job, but they were overrun.

Late September has changed to late October, and I imagine the GAO is having to weed through NATSAP and ST cretins trying to botch the works by calling over and over with the same story, slightly altered each time, of little Bocephus or Irma Lou being saved from whoring, sucking that glass dick, stripping, jail and/or death and the Eternal Lake of Fire.

Thanks, CAFETY.  You got the scoop, alright.  Who's side are you guys on, anyway?  Let Blombro screw a program counselor and he'll forget his name and purpose.  Not surprising.

Apparently, the hearing itself was kept under wraps to everyone....this just hit the congressional committee page recently.

I think they have a select list of victims to testify and these people have already been notified.  Still, why not give people more notice so if they wanted to attend the hearing they could at least shop around for affordable airfare and hotel rates?  7 days notice is really pathetic, IMO.

Wow, sounds rather subversive to me, I sure hope this isn't going to come down to special interest groups or individuals with ties to groups like Cafety or A Start.   Be interesting to see who the GAO recommended testify before this committee.  

Anybody planning to attend the hearings or protest agains Uncle Sam for allowing this industry to exist in the first place?  Come on - it is not like people haven't been knocking on Congress's door for years - this crap goes back more than 3 decades.  If I don't see any Straight or KHK, The Seed, etc. survivors on the list of people to testify, I won't be too surprised given the implications of their testimony which would clearly point a finger at our own government, not just WWASPS, Aspen, etc.

I sent email to C-span and brian lamb to let him know and maybe they will cover it on washington journal that morning and put it on their cspan network if enough people show interest.

My view on this is that Cafety either consciously or subconsciously got wind of something involving the GAo and went gung ho posting it... I dont believe the government is going to listen to us... I dont have much faith in our government... not getting started with political views here... just please dont get hopes too high. you can always hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. I doubt this is going to happen. Maybe I will be proved wrong, but thats my personal view.

This morning when I checked the Committee page for G. Miller's Education and whatnot committee it appeared that the witness list hadn't been completely decided yet or in other words it is to be announced(TBA).

I believe they will end up doing a representative sample of the industry. Meaning they will have some survivors and they will have some industry reps. More than likely we will end up seeing some of those NATSAP shills saying their piece.

Of course I'll go on record and say that no doubt my advice to host a summary execution of any industry representative is likely to receive little attention.

I thought I was going to be asked to testify, but was not called as a witness. Seems like there should be some way for the nonchosen to speak up. I feel like some of us are being SILENCED.

We need a voice so we can ALL be heard.

I believe Thayer Learning center is a "Military boot camp"...... NATSAP would come out to support their own members maybe or even non members, but they would need to be therapeutic schools or programs.

I dont believe Thayer is associated with NATSAP.
