What I learned at the law library - Chapter Unknown Because Cinderella just time warped to October 2007 and missed a few chapters.

You know what? Cinderella’s story just skipped a few chapters because, well, she doesn’t know yet what the law library says about this situation. So, let’s fast forward to today, October 29, 2007.
The Macon Telegraph published “Changes in AFMC Get Mixed Reviews” today, disclosing a key component that trashes the defenses of the United States of America and their favorite corporations in saying my system was worthless to the government. Oh dear. Now what? How can my system have been so worthless if you have now put so much value on such a system, that you are worried about BRAC and now have to scramble to fix your inefficient processes?
Commanders, you have admitted that no one has come up with an efficient plan yet. If I was a “Cause of Action” book sitting on the law library shelf, I think my pages might say something to the effect that when I presented an idea to you in 2002, that was timely, valuable, not been done yet, proprietary, confidential, trade secret, necessary to your processes (globally I might add) and was about to get a contract for the development of it, but conspiracy to block my sponsorship took over, that there must be some kind of remedy to seek in such a case.
But what the heck do I know? I’m just an “uneducated” pro se litigant doing the best I can to learn the laws to defend against the unfair competition at Robins Air Force Base, which by the way, the named commanders in this article have heard from me, knew about my system plans, and knew I was being crushed by corruption and unfair competition. What did the people at RAFB tell me? It’s a civil matter and they can’t get involved.
So, it’s a civil matter. I have been in stressful litigation for going on five years now, while you claim my system had no value to the government, and while your corporate representatives saw to it that I did not get sponsored, and while you took away the contracts of those that were going to be working on said system with me….yeah, it’s a civil matter.
Not only are you about to implement similar plans that three small businesses were going to be working on together, but you took part of the name of the system and created your own version of it!! It was established May 7? Try 2002. I presented to Robins Air Force Base a single, end-to-end process that would have ensured operational commanders have the products they needed when they needed them. So much so, that RAFB Reengineering directorate didn’t want the system to be marketed outside of the military. They asked for exclusive rights to my plans. Then a corporation botched the contract negotiation process and it all went downhill from there. And here we are today, in a civil matter, as I watch as one small business after another is shut out of competition at Robins Air Force Base.
When is someone going to hold you accountable?
The initiative, called the Global Logistics Support Center, established a provisional office May 7 and held its first program review in August. Most of the personnel transfers will be completed over the next 12 months.
Air Force logistic centers at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., will be similarly impacted. AFMC is the parent agency for the three bases.
Robins manpower will come from various weapon system program offices - agencies focused on worldwide support for F-15s, C-5s, C-17s, C-130s, avionics, software and other systems. They currently work under the direct supervision of local weapon system managers with oversight by the air logistics center commander. That will change under GLSC.
Col. Brent Baker, the new agency’s provisional commander, said the goal is to give supply chain management - a multibillion-dollar undertaking across the Air Force - an enterprise perspective by creating a single, end-to-end process that will ensure operational commanders have the products they need when they need them.
“Logistics - specifically the supply chain - has always been effective, but it hasn’t always been efficient,” Baker said during a telephone interview from his temporary office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. “We think we will be able to eliminate redundant and suboptimized processes. This is a way to gain even greater efficiency and better support for the warfighter.”
The former Robins-based officer contends that the current system does not offer that broad, objective view.
“We have a lot of folks doing a superb job, but we don’t have anyone in the Air Force looking out across the entire chain,” he said. GLSC will become the single supply point of contact for the warfighter, Baker emphasized.
Let me just emphasize a sentence here, shall we? You said:
“We have a lot of folks doing a superb job, but we don’t have anyone in the Air Force looking out across the entire chain,”
Let me just remind you, RAFB and AFMC HQ, you did too know about someone who was looking out across the entire chain…from the top level DoD all the way down, globally, as in “world-wide” but you didn’t want me to benefit from the plans.
And who had a comment about such a system, as defined in this Macon Telegraph article? None other than:
Two other former local commanders - with opinions that could be described as “hopeful pessimism” - are less sure that GLSC will deliver as advertised.
Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Ron Smith, who succeeded Hallin as Warner Robins ALC commander, said no one hopes the Global Logistics Support Center will improve support to the warfighter more than he does.
Oh for crying out loud!!!! Maj. Gen. Ron Smith signed my nondisclosure on October 22, 2002. He already knew the direction I was going to take the Air Force.
Cinderella has to go back to the law library, because this one has really ticked her off, and the public has a right to know what RAFB is doing to the small businesses!
