The Feelings Of A 'Hellish' Life For Whistleblower's And Exposer's Of Corruption

The Feelings Of A 'Hellish' Life For Whistleblower's And Exposer's Of Corruption

With the flood of sorts of many Whistleblowers now coming forward in all the latest Government scandals including that from the IRS, Benghazi, New York State Senators being arrested and “Cuomogate” and many other scandalous incidents all across the USA, you may notice that those people who “tell on” those involved in wrong doing, do so with great courage, but also do so with hefty consequences. You may even be a

“whistleblower” or exposer of corruption yourself and know exactly what I'm sharing about here. Either way, all American's should be educated and learn of what these men and women(or yourself) of conscience have gone through and most likely, even years after the fact, are still living a life of great pain and suffering for exposing wrongdoing of others. Unfortunately, If you are like most American's however, the image of a “whistleblower” or someone who exposes corruption is only pictured in the mind of the masses as usually just some low level government employee somewhere sitting at an office frustrated with “the system.” Nothing could be further from the truth however. In reality, many so called “whistleblower's” and exposers of corruption are indeed government employee's but not all. Everyday in and outside of America, there are many kinds, or types of “whistleblowers” and exposers of corruption. Yes... they may be Government employees, but they are also Corporate workers, “Blue Collar” workers and others such as US Military personnel, who see their own “brass” and “contractors” who hoard, as well as waste Billions and Billions of US Tax Dollars on unneeded Government programs and developments. In fact, with many private Government Contractors it is not at all unusual for to them to have “friends” in high places in the Pentagon. By the way, have you ever wondered just how do all those high ranking Pentagon, US Military Officers afford those big houses , luxurious vacations and jewelery for their spouses ?

Many of you, that is my avid “friends” and readers of my blog posts may consider Bradley Manning, the US

Army private who leaked Government secrets as a whistleblower. You may also consider Edward Snowden, the NSA “leaker” as an exposer of Government involved corruption as well. As they say “the jury is out on that one” for me. I haven't made a decision about that. I will say this however... America is definitely spit on whether these two men are “hero's, or zeroes.” This is what I know.... there is a fine line between exposing evil, corruption and wrong doing vs. letting our enemies know important national and or corporate secrets that protects all of us. So stating as such, I am left asking...how is it a man or woman can expose wrong doing without also doing harm to any corporation or our own national safety ? It is nearly impossible, that's a fact. Let me share this thought...despite Senator Rand Paul's stances of supposedly being pro-whsitleblower and pro persons who expose corruption especially in our government, his advice for Americans, including that Snowden should have reported the NSA issues to him and “other Senators” is nothing but nonsense. I can tell you from a recent personal experience with the Senator Rand Paul's DC Office, that in-fact Senator Paul's Washington DC Office is filled with lying-gatekeepers. I exposed government corruption to several of his office staff and I was told by one of his staffers to send on my information, which I did. I was also promised that Senator Paul himself would reply to my message and report of government wrong doing. After receiving a facsimile e-mail message to me regarding an unrelated matter a week after I sent that original message, I called Senator Paul's DC Office where I spoke with another young man who said and did everything he 

could to make an excuse why the Senator will not help me in anyway including responding to my message regarding government corruption to him. This is the reality and frustration that myself and as well, many whistleblowers and exposers of corruption go through, perhaps such as Manning and Snowden as well. There are supposed avenues and “channels” that we go through to “do the right thing” as Senator Rand Paul calls it, but in the end, many of us us get it right up the ….. and stabbed in the back so to speak, for reporting the wrong doing from the very people including Senator Rand Paul for following his advice.

Having the feelings of being frustrated is often experienced by many whistleblowers and exposers of corruption, not just me or a few others. Those who decide to take an act of serious risk taking to expose wrong-doing, do so not only with one's personal job-career at great risk, but also of one's personal life. Unfortunately, and sadly, just about any whistleblower and or exposer of corruption can and will tell you that they have to fight many more then those whom he or she is accusing of wrong doing. In fact, it is often just as an ugly, and difficult issue of fighting a very apathetic attitude towards corruption on the part of the public that makes life difficult for all whistleblowers and exposers of corruption. Very often, those who expose evil and wrong doing do so at their own personal peril as I mentioned earlier. There are those who actually put their own and or their very own family member's lives in harms way for exposing such wrong doing. No one is spared from such evil...I think of State of California Attorney Richard Fine who spent over one-year in jail being mentally and physically tortured for exposing judicial corruption (http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/05/24/jailed.lawyer.richard.fine/index.html ). How very frustrated one must feel to not only have “the Law” on your side but also know “the Law” inside and out, yet to be incarcerated and tortured in jail for exposing others(corrupt judges) for crimes. Just think, if this can occur to a lawyer, think of the hundreds of thousands of American's who are non-attorneys all across our nation sitting in jail(or beaten, tortured or even dead) just for the non-criminal act of exposing real criminal acts of government officials and others. There are as well many, who have paid the ultimate price of being murdered for exposing government corruption also. One such person, a great woman, former Republican Party affiliated and Georgia State Senator Nancy Schaefer is just one of those who was killed for exposing many who partook(even to this date still do so) Government sanctioned stealing of American children from good families for financial profit, that is human and sex trafficking(http://youtu.be/jNyjROnzyy0). There are many whistleblowers and corruption exposers here in the USA that have been raked over the coals so to speak. Senator Schaefer certainly wasn't the first, and sadly, probably won't be the last to be killed for exposing evil and corruption. In fact, In case you were somehow unaware and missed it in the article , I too am also an exposer of Government corruption. While being victimized by an illegal alien and Foreign Immigration Marriage Scammer here in the US, I found myself actually not being helped by the courts in New York State. In fact, I started to get quite a thrashing of sorts while in the courts. I was confused as why I would be maltreated for speaking and sharing truth in my legal motions, initially through hired attorneys. After I was forced to delete all my finances for attorney fee's and ordered to pay 120% of my pay for child support and maintenance, nor couldn't even get enough money for myself for my Diabetes and Hypertension medications, I became homeless and also began to report on all the self reporting of former female client's of mine as a Addiction Counselor who shared with me how they were trained by local Domestic Violence Program (female) workers and lawyers to falsify reports to police officers and courts falsely accusing husbands/boyfriends of Domestic Violence acts. Instead of receiving help, one evening, I found myself being on the receiving end of a conversation via a City of Batavia, NY cop who was sent via some judges, lawyers and that illegal alien threatening to murder me unless I stopped making complaints in and outside the courts among other things. What I found out over time is, and what I had(even to this day)experienced was not anything unusual, rather it is something that takes place all the time all across the USA. I have not been allowed to (illegally) see my children in four years, court hearing documents that apparently somehow grew legs and disappeared from Court records and much more in the way of cover-ups for illegal actions against me continues to takes place all for exposing corruption and fighting back against evil. This is just some of the price we all can and do pay for exposing evil, corruption and government grafthttp://corruptgenesee.com.

 

You may be asking yourself by now, why doesn’t the media report more of these abuses by the Government and corporations ? Like I mentioned earlier about most of the Public as well as the American Media/Press... they are largely apathetic and even afraid. You may be asking “afraid of what ?” Judges, lawsuits and lawyers, that's “what.” Indeed, “not news worthy” is mostly the response from news reporters when whistleblowers tell their stories to the press. It's not like many years ago when even local TV Stations had reporters on staff just for nightly or weekly reports on “investigative reporting.” The days of Programming like “60 Minutes” did on CBS, died years ago-and is long-gone. Once in awhile though you will get a brave soul like John Stossel who will take segments of his Television Programs on FNC or in print and have a story or dialogue on whistleblowers. He should be commended for taking on such news items as "whistleblowing" however the vast majority of the press just doesn't care and in my opinion, most in the American Press are cowards and only interested in chasing Liberal ideologies rather than exposing real wrong doing and covering stories about whistleblowers and folks who expose wrong doing. I'm quite sure a FBI Whistelblower named John Roberts would agree with me in whole regarding everything I have written in this article. Mr. Roberts reported government corruption within the FBI to CBS in 2009. His story of great abuses and cover up within the FBI went far and wide when interviewed by Ed Bradley for the 60 Minutes Television Program back then. After the Director of the FBI Robert Mueller heard of the interview, he assured everyone publicly that Roberts would not be punished for his act of whistleblowing and telling his facts on the 60 Minutes Television Program. However, it was only 3 weeks later that Roberts found himself being “threatened , intimidated and humiliated for exposing what he said has become a pattern of misconduct at the highest levels of the FBI and that has gone unpunished” http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-530750.html.

I could go on and on, telling so many true stories of how “hellish” life is like for whistleblowers and exposers of corruption. In fact, I could probably write am entire book on the subject, but have written as much as I can here in this article. So, think upon this...when you hear that terrorist Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the US, his partner in crime... Barrack Hussein Obama or just about any Government leader(Federal, State, County Local), Agency or even Corporation spokesman out there for that matter, deny wrong doing, think about the hundreds of thousands of American lives they have destroyed and continue to destroy today without check all because good people like whsitleblowers are largely ignored and punished for doing good in exposing corruption and evil acts. Most likely, you may not know it, but you probably have a neighbor, a friend or even a family member suffering right now for exposing corruption or evil and they need your help. Empathy is nice, but actual help and support is much better. We are here, fighting not only for ourselves, but for you and our entire nation.... lend a hand. We need it.

If you are a whistleblower or a exposer of corruption, I stand with you, locked in arms with you in destroying those unrepentant, who promote evil and wrongdoing. Stay strong in the Lord and stick together. Feel free to post on this article a short summary of your experience

as a “whistleblower” if you so choose.

. Psalm 37:40 "And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him."

Rev. Paul P. Waldmiller~Black Robe Regiment Pastor

Our divider in chief Obama gave a surprise speech where he essentially said the problems that Blacks have is continued racism. He failed to mention that 70% of black babies are born to single mothers or that a high number of crimes are committed by blacks. Why did Travon cross the street and get into a fight? Does any one really think a 5'8" guy wanted to fight a 6' 2" 175LBS guy? The jury did not and gave a verdict.

 I think Obama lives in a pre 1970 world, because the US is not the place it was when his mom married a black socialist college student in the 50's. He was elected twice without ever showing his college transcripts, which probably list him as a foreign Muslim student. Regardless of where he was born he used that title to get aid or a slot. Still he was elected and some of the most successful people in the US are black, so it can't be some sort of racial block or it would apply to everyone, right? So, if you study or have a great talent and do not commit a crime you can be very successful, like Obama, Oprah, LeBron, Dr. Carson or so many others.  

Instead of saying that you can be successful in today's America, if you do your best and stay out of trouble.  Obama chose to put spark to flame, indict our judicial system and America in 2013, as a country with bad folks who are racist. What a load of crap and a disservice to our citizens, even the white ones. Obama should just be called a black community organizer or professional campaigner not President of America.

A Tell of Democratic Leadership.

There once was a great America city, where one on six American jobs were related to the businesses headquartered in this city of 2 million people. Detroit!

Now, under democratic leadership it has 700K citizens, 78,000 abandoned buildings, 58 minute wait time for a policeman, very high crime and murder rate , strict gun laws and the largest city in US history to file for bankruptcy.

Just think Obama and the democrats want to lead us, but to where and how bad will it get. Remember, Obama said his policies will make energy prices skyrocket, while we sit on more energy reserves that known in the world. EPA and other federal agencies issuing more new rules than ever before and a tripled federal deficit while printing 80 billion USD every month, propping up Wall Street. Manipulated inflation and unemployment numbers and not to be forgotten Obama care. I know Obama and the democrats can do for every American city what they have done for so many others, including Detroit.

Below is the letter I sent, if you want replace my name with yours and send.  His address is included

Eric Holder Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov

Eric, It came to my attention that you are seeking information concerning those who incite criminal activity with regard to race. There are two public figures who have been inciting riots recently over the Zimmerman trial. Their names are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Insofar as evidence they have been on television making speeches of a racist nature. It is my sincere hope that you can stop these individuals before they cause any further damage to our country. I hope this will be helpful in your endeavor.

My Dad always said that "birds of a feather, flock together", meaning you will be judged by those whose company you keep.

An average $64,300 annual worker output cost originates from Dec, 2012 BLS $42,537 wage @34.4/hr work week - adjusted to $49,462 (40/hr) - plus (30%) employer paid tax (FICA, workman’s & unemployment comp, fringes, etc.).    It’s the raw average employee cost paid by lawful employers.  (employee pay deductions are about 25% income & FICA)

1) Legitimate law abiding employers pay $27,204 tax, employer paid30%/employee paid (25%) and employees get $37,096 of the $64,300 total @ 40hr/week.   2)  Criminal tax evading alien employers pay criminal aliens $12,480 for the $64,300 output and pocket the $51,820 balance (415% clear profit).    3) Criminal employers can lower prices from zero to $51,820 to eliminate law abiding competition and employees.    Competition will End!   Next, globalists will move “production” to China and pay perhaps $0.60/hr because “America can’t compete”!     It’s a cycle of bloating labor supply, poverty wages, joblessness, bankruptcy, and insanity where citizens turn everything into smoke and ash.   (Marxist revolution)

$51,820 x 100= $5,182,000

GET STRONG, DETERMINED and UNBENDING - make your legislator explain what's happening, why there are no prosecutions, and what fingers do they have in the pie!    If they need prosecuting, demand it at a state or local level.    Holder will lose his grip when the masses turn on his blatant lawlessness!

When you lift the rock, it's not a single snake, it's an unending bed of vipers, such as who pays for it, will the nation collapse, and what are the consequences.       Criminals can be held accountable in a court of law!

19 million (12.1%) were unemployed and looking for work in June and another potential 23 million equivalent jobs were lost due to working a questionable 34.5 hours instead of 40

PASS IT ON - MAKE THIS SUMMER HOTTER THAN HELL FOR THOSE WHO DESERVE IT, and bless those who endlessly sacrifice to preserve this great country!

           DO I HEAR AN AMEN?

Using a strategy never before employed on the current scale, the federal government has succeeded in inflating the U.S. money supply to grossly unstable levels.  Here is a graph of this insanity from the Federal reserve, itself:

Our currency, our country cannot long endure such insanity.  The hyperinflation that this tempts, prompted by the first signs of the return of prosperity, will cripple the country's economy.  This will be Obama's enduring legacy, likely to be blamed on the next president when it occurs.

For Dr. King

Weep Martin, weep.

You had a dream of equity for all.

Weep Martin, weep.

But in fifty years your march wins not its goal.

Weep Martin, weep.

For hatred’s tall white hood still stands its ground.

Weep Martin, weep.

For men foment for gold to line their purse

Weep Martin, weep.

And our courts drive justice from her halls.

Weep Martin, weep.

And men can’t get a job for color’s lack

Weep Martin, weep

The King is dead. His dream is too.

Weep Martin, weep.

‘Tis your “followers” now do the hating.

Senator Alexander's anti big government commercial is a joke. He stood up to the Army Engineers and passed a law to allow us to fish near dams. GREAT.

What about Obama's abusive executive orders, Fast n Furious /dead agents/lies, IRS, NSA, Benghazi, Iran nukes/Israel , Keystone, EPA and other agencies going around Congress and abuses, Syria, Egypt Muslim Brotherhood/ military conflict, Muslim Brotherhood working in the Administration of Obama, persecution of Christians in the US military, Obama bringing terrorist to NY courts while drone strikes kill Americans, Farce budget impacts over a slight reduction in the increased budget, abuse from Obama groups to carry out his agendas , Obama's attack on the US military reduction of 12 brigades, unilateral declaration war is over with Islamic terrorists while they attack, unilateral position to reduce US nuclear arsenal to zero or least below Chinese levels, push to close Gitmo and give Constitutional rights to terrorists,( Imagine doing that for Nazi's in WWII), continued apology tours, extreme expensive overseas trips, pledge for 7 billion USD for Africa energy development, foreign aid while deficits grow/tripled, slowing of US energy development and related jobs. This list could go on and on, but the point is the ONE thing Alexander stood up to was fishing locations!!!!!! REALLY!!! We need a real conservative to run in the primary.

You never hear about this?

 I am not surprised.

On Friday October 26, 2012, President Obama told a local Denver, Colorado news anchor that decisions made in the loan program office are “decisions, by the way, that are made by the Department of Energy, they have nothing to do with politics.” 

Southern Company’s Vogtle Project Subsidized with $8.33 Billion of Taxpayer Money: Pressured by the White House (photo right courtesy of Inhabitat.com: President Obama's February 2010  announcement for Southern Company's $8B in federal loan guarantees) 

But let’s go back to the past: on Tuesday, December 1, 2009, Loan Program Office (LPO) contractor Paul Barbian sent an email to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) analyst Kelly Colyar, James C. McCrea, Senior Credit Advisor of the Loan Programs, as well as other DOE Officials.

With a subject line of “Vogtle: Deadline set by Secretary, Barbian writes, “Nick Whitcombe called me a few minutes ago (7:00 PM eastern). He told me that Dave Franz, Susan Richardson, and he had been called to the Secretary’s office and told to “agree” to the term sheet with OPC by Friday, Dec. 4, and to agree to the term sheet with MEAG by Dec 9. The time pressure is coming from the White House, according to Nick." Note: The DOE Official is Nicholas Whitcombe, the former Acting Director of the Advanced Technologies Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM).

This particular email was released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on October 31, 2012, which was accompanied by a summary memorandum and other material that contradicts the president's claim that "decisions" were made solely by the Department of Energy (DOE). In fact this is not the only case where the White House, President Obama as well as Vice President Joe Biden were actively involved in the DOE deal making –– a bombshell part of the Green Corruption Scandal that despite the fact that it was ignored by the media, Marita Noon and I immediately broke this story on November 1, 2012. Our headline read Emails Catch White House Lie on Green-Energy Loans, whereas I personally read and studied over 150 emails, which revealed a series of questionable practices, including coercion, cronyism, and cover ups.

In February 2010, "the Department of Energy offered a conditional commitment for an $8.33 billion loan guarantee to support the construction of the nation’s next generation of advanced nuclear reactors," referred to as The Vogtle Project. This loan guarantee was offered to Southern Company and its partners [Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation (OPC), and the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG)] to build two nuclear reactors in Georgia, but according to recent reports, "the award has yet to be finalized.”

Eleven days ago I discovered that the Vogtle Project is in worse shape than I had documented this past May, adding to a long list of Obama’s taxpayer-funded clean-energy failures, of which we've tracked more than 50, with at least half bankrupt. On July 2, 2013, “Taxpayers for Common Sense released a report that pointed to Southern Company as the next project with potential to blow up in the federal government's face,” documented Kevin Glass at The Daily Caller.

According to this report: DOE Loan Guarantee Program: Vogtle Reactors 3&4, “On top of construction delays and litigation, the oversight and management of the construction of reactors 3&4 has been questionable." The report goes on, “As a result of the escalating construction costs of the Vogtle facility, most financial rating agencies are downgrading their assessment of the partners involved in the project.”

Since the February 2010 DOE proposal, Taxpayers for Common Sense notes that...

 ...In June 2010, the project partners accepted DOE’s offer. Since then, the Department of Energy has extended its $8.33 billion loan guarantee offer multiple times. Worse, “documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act after years of effort reveal wide-ranging negotiations between the Office of Budget and Management, Department of Treasury, and the Department of Energy on what the appropriate credit subsidy costs should be. Years of closed-door negotiations have allowed loan guarantee partners to craft a deal that heavily benefits them and exposes taxpayers to even greater risk.

What I can also divulge from that Halloween email dump regarding this particular project is that on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 there was a meeting with Peter Orsag (former Director of the Office of Management and Budget) and Carol Browner (Al Gore's crony and former Climate Czar, now at the Center for American Progress, another huge player in this green energy scheme), which was requested by OMB and DOE “to work through issues that come up in the Loan Programs.”

Former DOE Loan Advisor Jonathan Silver and Chris Otness, Assistant at the Loan Programs Office, prepared the briefing, and it included a few familiar projects like Abengoa, Blue Mountain, and UniStar. However what struck me as odd is that OH Rep Democrat Dennis Kucinich –– a member of the House Oversight Committee, and as I reported last July, adores Mr. Silver, and has been adamant that there is NO DOE scandal –– is found on page seven of that meeting outline. Maybe Kucinich was looking out for taxpayers...

Recently, the Institute for Energy Research (IER) took aim at the president's new climate agenda, which circumvents Congress and as stated by Reason.com, "ambitiously seeks to control nearly every aspect of how Americans produce and consume energy." IER's issue in this case is that President Obama's "alleged all-of-the-above energy policy includes large taxpayer subsidies for so-called clean-coal technologies, including carbon capture and storage."

If you've been paying attention, and what the IER is referring to is that part the new climate plan includes Obama's proposed $8 billion in federal loan guarantees relating to "decarbonizing coal" –– fossil fuel technologies to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. It seems that even some "greenies" aren't too happy about this: "The proposal would fund schemes such as waste heat recovery and carbon dioxide capture, however it has unsurprisingly received criticism as it would draw focus away from green technology projects such as renewable energy and electric vehicles,"wrote Inhabitat.com.
