Complain too much. Criticize the powers be. Ask too many questions. Boom! You’re a threat. dailysign.al/2YPAsbe via @michellemalkin @DailySignal
@michellemalkin @DailySignal But if you want to know how this American version of China’s social credit system would work in practice, let me remind you of how Veterans Affairs recklessly red-flags “disruptive” citizens without due process, transparency, or accountability in the name of “safety.”
@michellemalkin @DailySignal Government bureaucrats routinely deprive our nation’s heroes of medical treatment based on arbitrary definitions of who and what constitutes a mental health menace.
@michellemalkin @DailySignal I first reported on the VA’s secretive database on “disgruntled” and “disruptive” vets five years ago. Under VA policy on “patient record flags,” federal bureaucrats can classify vets as “threats” based on assessments of their “difficult,” “annoying,” and “noncompliant” behavior
@michellemalkin @DailySignal The VA manual says the flags “are used to alert Veterans Health Administration medical staff and employees of patients whose behavior and characteristics may pose a threat either to their safety, the safety of other patients, or compromise the delivery of quality health care.”
@michellemalkin @DailySignal What a crock. It’s precisely because so many vets receive inferior care from the feds they have been forced to raise their voices. Have we forgotten the 40 vets who perished at the Phoenix VA, which relegated patients to a bureaucratic black hole through secret waiting lists?
@michellemalkin @DailySignal If such tyranny is allowed among those who volunteered to protect and serve our country in the name of safety, imagine how it will be implemented among the law-abiding, gun-owning general populace.
