United States Department of Veterans Affairs:
Subj: Freedom of Information Request (5 U.S.C. § 552)/SITREP
1. I am respectfully requesting a status update on my Freedom of Information Request (5 U.S.C. § 552) dated 05 SEP 2025.
2. Additionally I am requesting the personnel name, electronic mail address, and USPS mailing address for all Military Sexual Trauma Coordinators within the following:
(a.) All VISN Headquarters
(b.) All VA Medical Centers
(c.) All CBOC within VISN 23

Health SITREP
I have the following VA appointments tomorrow:
Thursday, September 25 ? 9:00 – 9:30 AM
Dennis, Susan Diane/515-699-5807 – Mental Health
Thursday, September 25 ? 9:30 – 10:30 AM
Royston, Clint Patrick/515-699-5999 – Mental Health
The evidence indicates that I never received a telehealth link to attend these appointments. It is my understanding these are generally sent out the day before scheduled appointments. I went to the Marshalltown CBOC today and asked for assistance correcting this anomaly and I was told by the receptionist with brown hair in the middle desk that she had no access to correct this and that I had to call the Des Moines, IA VA. I informed her that I do not currently have a phone and I asked if I could call the Des Moines, IA, VA at their location and I was told that was not possible.
Due to these circumstances I am requesting the following:
1. Electronic mail correspondence including a telehealth link to attend these appointments, or
2. The rescheduling of these appointments including the implementation of telehealth because I do not have a car to travel to these appointments.
These appointments were transferred to the Des Moines, IA, VA Medical Center, Building 6M, due to the evidence of the alleged failure of the Marshalltown, IA CBOC mental health personnel to treat and properly diagnose service-connected mental health disabilities. This failure led to two six-week inpatient treatment events in 2023 and 2025.
During these events, personnel at the Des Moines, IA, VA Medical Center DOM documented previously undocumented post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 2023 and military sexual trauma (MST) in 2025. At the same time, the professional and compassionate personnel at Des Moines, IA, VA Medical Center DOM corrected and removed the improper diagnosis of a Cluster B Personality Disorder.
In my future complaint to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, I will be providing a declaratory thesis supported by historical evidence and the DSM-5-TR (5th Edition, Text Revision). This thesis will provide a reasonable conclusion that the Department of Veterans Affairs negligently and improperly diagnosed a twenty-year United States Navy Veteran—with over a decade of Department of Defense mental health tracking—with a Cluster B Personality Disorder, despite zero medical record evidence of such an issue.
I believe the evidence will support a reasonable conclusion that this negligent and improper diagnosis, made by female VA mental health professionals who failed to properly identify military sexual trauma (MST) affecting a male victim, overlooked the trauma symptoms that in fact pointed to an MST/PTSD diagnosis. The basis for this alleged improper and negligent psychiatric diagnosis was not the Veteran’s documented United States Department of Defense historical mental health records or behavioral patterns, but rather a systemic failure to properly identify MST trauma symptoms. The historical events documented within this case provide evidence supporting there could be many more male Veterans suffering from these symptoms in the post-#MeToo era that the United States Department of Veterans Affairs has possibly failed to provide proper and equal access to health care.

The Form of the Salem Witch Trial Theorem and the Circumvention of American Justice
As we reflect on the historical events and publicly documented evidence from the height of the social “#MeToo Movement” (see me too international), we must ask as a nation:
Was this movement, including alleged victims of sexual abuse, rooted in due process and proper American justice? Or did it, in some instances, manifest as crowd-sourced cyberbullying on social media platforms, organized by what evidence now reveals were actual assailants targeting malicious and heinous attacks through the hashtag #MeToo, that targeted male citizens for personal or legal leverage?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has noted the existence of false allegations of adult crimes (see FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin), and historical evidence shows that some #MeToo-era accusations were later challenged in court, where accusers were found to have presented no supporting evidence. At the same time, court records demonstrate that allegations of sexual abuse were deployed by a #MeToo supporter (Claudia J. Bergman f.k.a Claudia J. Merritt a.k.a Claudia J. Alatorre) in the immediate aftermath of legal separation for what evidence now shows was personal and strategic gain (see San Diego East County Superior Court Case ED100465, 16 SEP 2021).
(Note: The originator of this correspondence was a pro se party in San Diego East County Superior Court case ED100465, following the dismissal of legal counsel who had sought a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). The NDA was later abandoned after the availability of additional evidence supporting attorney misconduct delayed the release of attorney work-product records.)
The Form of Crush Depth
It is unfortunate that after serving the rights and liberties of others, we live in a world where the honorable men and women of the United States Armed Forces are required to defend their families and their own rights and liberties against those the historical record shows they have spent their entire lives serving.
Standing the watch in the defense of others is all that I know how to do. I have never witnessed or known defeat because I have never stopped working until I have reached the threshold of success and mission completion.
I am unmoved, uninspired, and undeterred from the evidence of disregard, discrimination, criminalization, corruption, and unethical and alleged criminal conduct I have experienced while standing this watch. It is nothing more to me than seasoning within a meal I will ultimately lawfully serve the country that I served for the benefit of others.
The depths of severe depression are not something we need to fear. They are moments of darkness through which the Light of God will faithfully lead us. Panic does not reflect a true situation report (SITREP), but only the lies spun by the Adversary in his attempt to bring defeat.
Honor, Courage, and Commitment demand that we never give up the ship, nor forsake our country, no matter how deep into the darkness of the ocean’s abyss evil seeks to consume us.
