America’s Bottoms Up Democratic Business Model
budbmweb.com

This Home page includes the short stories of 47 whistleblower scientists, doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants, auditors, and other disciplines, within 27 departments, bureaus, and agencies, who were retaliated against for trying to expose the richest 1%’s unconstitutional poiltical and corporate takeover of our 99%’s democracy over the last 47 years (1978 – 2025).  That undemocratic travesty has been hidden in full sight and recorded in a $36+ trillion debt spike, that went from a 1978/$772 billion low to its current $36.7 billion total. There is no end in sight because President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful ignores both parties’ corruption problem, and instead addresses a 47 year problem that never existed, our not-so-lazy and not-so-inept civil servants. The American people are still unaware of how badly the richest 1%’s politicians and their corporations have undermined our 99%’s democracy because their also richest 1%’s media and social media moguls control all levels of misinformation within both the government and the media. The bottom line is there is no united or sustainable U.S. government and citizenry with today’s lucrative capitalist version of America’s state controlled media, not unlike Putin’s Russian dictator, but now under the richest 1%’s version of our 99%’s democracy.

The sole purpose of this website is to record the truth, 3 vital facts, and this website’s 116 documents and internet links to support those facts: (1) Both parties’ unconstitutional war against whistleblowers did occur. (2) These whistleblowers are an invaluable resource for exposing the truth and cutting government waste, not with a chain saw but in a responsible and timely manner. (3) The last 47 years (1978 -2025) of the U.S. government’s operation are accurately labeled for what they are, legalized crime, and the total breakdown of its 3 politically, corporately controlled, and no longer functional branches, and that must now be restructured, top to bottom. This website explains why America’s 75%’s voters no longer trust either party, this time with the cold, hard facts, also why President Donald Trump’s Big Beautifu Bill must be rescinded by the 119th Congress to instead deal with the real problem, 47 years of both parties’ blatant corruption. That information is divided into the followng sections:

  • (1) How Congress’ 1st Civil Service Reform Created and Protected Our Democracy
  • (2) How Congress’ 2nd Civil Service Reform Destroyed Our Democracy
  • (3) How Both Parties Covered-up Their Lawless Acts
  • (3) Ramifications of Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act

(1) How Congress’ 1st Civil Service Reform Created and Protected Our Democracy
In the 1880’s, the American people demanded an end to our Forefather’s corruption, and their spoils system. Congress addressed their citizen’s demand with their 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act’s & U.S Civil Service Commission’s (USCSC). This law gave each President access to 1 level of their handpicked loyal political appointees, and 2 checks and balances: (1) an apolitical, technically qualified civil servant bureaucracy, and (2) carte blanche protection for all civil servants, including whistleblowers, by placing the USCSC outside of the President’s executive branch, and their ability to fire civil servants In 1968, Ernie Fizgerald, an Air Force civil servant whistleblower exposed the 37th President’s (Richard Nixon) $2.3 billion Lockheed C-5A transport plane cost overrun. Then, Mr. Fitzgerald was fired, appealed his case to the USCSC, and won that case only because the USCSC was outside of President Nixon’s control to fire him. In other words, Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & USCSC was a constitutional success story because that law had protected the American people’s democracy for the first 189 years (1789 – 1978) of the government’s operation, and at a paltry 1978/$772 billion taxpayer cost, that also included the first 94 years (1789 – 1978) of both parties’ blatantly corrupt spoils system.

(2) How Congress’ 2nd Civil Service Reform Destroyed Our Democracy
President Nixon’s political demise, however, occurred in 1974, thanks to Daniel Ellsberg’s Pentagon Papers, and Nixon’s Watergate break-in fiasco. This was a wakeup call for both parties because Ernie Fitzgerald had just exposed how President Nixon and his political and corporate cronies had pilfered $2.3 billion of American’s tax dollars using Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act’s & USCSC. Who knows how many billions and even trillions in waste (corrupion) by America’s 36 prior Presidents? Long story short, both parties needed a full proof way to continue both their hidden and sustainable levels of waste (to enrich themselves), and to also permanently prevent the possibility of exposing any future corrupt President’s blatant violations of their oaths of office. So, they did what both parties’ politicians have become increasingly good at, they lied to the American people and spread rumors about our Forefather’s lazy and inept civil servants with the sole intent of discrediting those civil servants, and to permanently eliminate their (Fitzgerald / Ellsberg) whistleblower problem by having Congress pass another (unnecessary) major civil service reform. The accuracy of this statement is validated in a Princeton assistant political science Professor’s (David E. Lewis) book, The Politics of Presidential Appointments, where he mislabels civil servants as underworked, overpaid, and unresponsive.

Then, in January 1977, an honest, good person, and peanut farmer named Jimmy Carter became the 39th President of the United States. President Carter believed those lies about lazy and inept civil servants, and took the lead in supporting Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA),  where both parties deceived the American people again by marketing this law as “bringing efficiency and accountability to the federal government” when its sole intent was to instead permanently eliminate their whistleblower problem. Below is a summary of how both parties used Congress’ 1978 CSRA’s lawless (unnecessary) law to eliminate all levels of dissent by rescinding Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & USCSC, still under both parties’ richest 1%’s politicians pretense of our 99%’s democracy, now the root cause of their self-inflicted $36+ trillion debt problem, and by: 

  • (A) increasing each President’s levels of loyal civil servants from 1 level to 4 levels, that included the President’s 1 level of their loyal hand-picked political appointees (1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act),
    • plus 3 more levels of politically loyal civil servants to each President by: (1) changing a prior apolitical government service (GS-15) management position to political, and adding 2 more levels of loyal political appointees: (2) Senior Executive Service (SES) and (3) Schedule C political appointees, and that are carried over from 1 President to the next.
  • (B) dividing the USCSC’s duties between the 4 below executive branch offices, each of which was legally (wink/nod) required to protect whistleblowers, but instead eliminated all current (and future) levels of dissent to now disqualify the U.S. government as a democracy, as follows: 

This website labels Congress’ 1978 CSRA as a lawless law because neither party had a credible legal excuse for dividing the USCSC’s duties between 4 executive branch offices other than to unconstitutionally eliminate all levels of dissent. Then, 24 Congresses (95-119) and 9 Presidents used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to rescind its prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & USCSC and the only 2 checks and balances that had once qualfied the U.S. government as a democracy, in the following ways: 

  • (1) Item 1 (OPM), above: 9 Presidents (Carter – Trump) politicized and dumbed down the executive branch (no one knows how badly) to rubber stamp both parties’ procurement of valueless and harmful corporate goods and services, by: 
    • changing the executive branches’ 2.3 million civil servant bureaucracy from: apolitical, technically qualified and unbeholden to any President with limited numbers of contractors to: politically loyal civil servants (often unqualified), and then beholden to all 9 Presidents and their hordes of politically-connected contractors.
      • This is the root cause for both parties’ self-inflicted 47 year-old/$36+ trillion debt problem, and a fully employed economy of businesses with links to a blatantly corrupt U.S. government, just like the Roman Empire, and its not-too-distant collapse!       

  • (2) Items 2 & 3 (MSPB & OSC), above: Congress defunded the MSPB, and that was legally (wink/nod) required to protect whistleblowers. 

  • (3) Item 4 (FLRA), above.
    • The FLRA was undermined by President Ronald Reagan, by his successor closet dictators, and now by America’s 9th President, and now very open dictator. 

Congress’ new ” dictatorial” Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act made legal what was previously illegal, still under the richest 1%’s pretense of the 99%’s democracy. That includes 8 prior Presidents (Carter – Biden), Republicans and the Democrat’s top 2 politicians, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

  • Today, America’s 9th rogue President (Donald Trump) is now doing openly (in and even more extreme and openly dictatorial fashion) what those 8 prior Presidents had done secretly, also illegally and unconstitutionally.

(3) How Both Parties Covered-up Their Lawless Acts
How else was it possible to cover-up 2 historic dissent events that were intended to get the media’s attention, still unreported by both parties’ politically-controlled medias? Those 2 historic events included: (1) a like-minded lawyer firm’s financed 2-day event at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. where guest whistleblower speakers discussed the lawless acts of both Congress and 6 Presidents (Carter – Obama), with 100+ whistleblowers, and (2) a later event with 77 whistleblower’s Petition to Congress to record Congress’ failure to enforce its own whistleblower protection laws.

creatingfew of those richest 1%’s media moguls, include Rupert Murdoch (Fox News, Wall Street Journal), Jeff Bezos and others, to divide and cover-up both parties’ lawless acts. Then, their richest 1%’s social media moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk never report, and cover-up all levels of corruption all over again, and still under the richest 1%’s pretense of our 99%’s democracy. 

The sole purpose of this website is to record the truth, focus on how our Forefather’s democracy was legally and constitutionally required to operate, explain what went wrong, and what we (the 99%) can do to create a better and stronger democracy that works for the 99%. This website’s Home and Financial & Economic Collapse pages begin this effort with its verifiable facts and 116 internet links (documents) to support all allegations and statements made in this website. Based upon this information, this website’s Government Reform page includes 26 proposed citizen-based government reforms (CBGRs) that are offered as a starting point to begin the necessary public dialogue to undo what both parties have already illegally and unconstitutionally done. Absent a constitutionally required apolitical and technically qualified civil servant executive branch, those 47 named whistleblowers are an invaluable resource to assist the 119th Congress to refocus its efforts. That is to rescind President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, and his bogus efficiency claims that fire civil servants and cut the government’s vital costs (research, humanitarian efforts, PBS, NPR, aid to Ukraine, and countless other vital programs) to instead focus on the government’s real problem. That is, exposing and ending both parties’ blatant corruption within all 3 government branches.

On June 7, 2025, Americans witnessed a breath of fresh air on CNN about a play, Good Night and Good Luck, that highlighted the need for the return of the 1950’s era Edward R. Murrow-like journalists who exposed government corruption, and not covered-up that corruption with both parties’ unending conspiracy theories that continually blame the other party for a $36+ trillion debt problem they jointly created. Whether the U.S. government collapses or survives now depends upon replacing both parties’ liberal and conservative media’s (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and others) and social media’s political analysts with Edward R. Murrow-like journalists to unite the American people with the truth.  

Below is that information to begin the long and delicate task ahead of responsibly changing an unconstitutionally created political & contractor-based government back to civil servant (and citizen-based) to cut unknown and egregious levels of waste (corruption) from today’s $6.75 trillion federal budget. The remainder of this page focuses on what did go wrong, how all 3 branches of the U.S. government got politicized, why they must now be restructured, starting ASAP, and hopefully in time to prevent the collapse of the “American people’s” government by their greedy and morally-bankrupt political caretakers. 

Those 47-year-old weakened executive branch infrastructures are now allowing more and more levels of corruption, while continually ripping-off the American people in 2 ways, by: (1) paying both parties’ crooked politicians to deregulate (destroy) the 1883 Pendelton Civil Service & USCSC rules and regulations that had once protected them from corporate abuse, and (2) then having those same crooked politicians watch the growingly adverse affects their weakened executive branch infrastructures are still having on the American people, like but a few of the below examples, while continually enriching themselves, and the hell with the American people: 

Long story short, Congress’ 3rd civil service reform is needed to change the unconstitutional way the U.S. government has operated over the last 47 years, and with 2 initial requirements to create a U.S. government that works for the American people: (1) President Donald Trump’s impeachment, and replacement with a Republican Congressperson who places the law and the Constitution above party loyalty, like the Republican’s Thom Tillis, and (2) the 119th Congress’ replacement of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill with Congress’ required 3rd civil service reform. Why? President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill feigns efficiency by cutting the government’s vital costs (research, PBS, NPR, helping Ukraine, and necessary programs) while ignoring the very real cost of both parties’ 47 year/$36+ trillion blatant corruption problem. 

The below 3 sections provide more detailed information that explains how both parties’ politicians have made a mockery of the rule of law and the Constitution, also why the American people’s demands are needed now to require Congress’ 3rd civil service reform to change the way an unconstitutional U.S. government has worked for the richest 1% back into a democracy that works for the 99%, also for state governments:   

  • (I)

    How Congress’ 1st Civil Service Reform Protected Our Democracy CongressHow our Forefather’s democracy operated for 189 years

     

  • How 3 Government Branches Got Politicized and Must Now Be Restructured 
  • (II) How 47 whistleblowers exposed 8 President’s and 24 Congress’ lawless Acts
  • (III) How State Governors Used Congress’ 1978 CSRA To Destroy State Democracies

(I) How Congress’ 2nd Civil Service Reform Destroyed Protected Our DemocracyHow 3 Government Branches Got Politicized and Must Now Be Restructured  
Over the last 47 years, both parties’ politicized all 3 branches of the U.S. government, as recorded in the below items (1 -8). Item 9 records how both parties’ richest 1% created America’s capitalist version of a state-controlled media where they covered-up both those politicians and their richest 1%’s media moguls lawless acts, like Jeff Bezos, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and Wall Street Journal, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. Below is a summary of why all 3 branches of the U.S. government no longer serve the best interests of the American people, and must be restructured, top to bottom:

  • Legislative Branch – (1) The last 24 (95 – 119) Congresses destroyed the American people’s democracy with their 1978 CSRA’s corporate friendly deregulation, privatizing, outsourcing, and AI policies, (2) Congress no longer enforced its whistleblower protection laws, and (3) how their lobbyists played key roles in this undemocratic travesty by writing lawless and meaningless laws, solely to enrich the richest 1%, and the hell with America’s 99%.
  • Executive Branch – A no longer democratic executive branch consists of the following groups that implement Congress’ lawless and meaningless laws: (3) the last 9 Presidents and their Vice Presidents, (4) their 4 levels of political appointees (thugs/enforcers), (5) both parties’ contractors who still sell valueless and harmful corporate goods and services to the U.S. government, (6) Wall Street’s corporate executives who worked as political appointees for those Presidents by destroying 18,000 SEC cases against themselves and their Wall Street cronies. This federal scam also includes President Barack Obama’s promise to end this Wall Street cancer that he inherited, with his open, transparent, accountable government promise. Instead, President Barack Obama lied to the American people to enrich himself by increasing the 2008 economic crisis $10 trillion debt total by $26+ trillion, along with his successors (Trump, Biden, and Trump), and today’s 47 year/$36+ trillion debt problem, (7) 2.3 million civilian and 1.3 million military personnel are still beholden to America’s 9th President (Donald Trump), who still demands their blind loyalty, per Congress’ new dictatorial law, also why he must be impeached, starting ASAP, and replaced with a Republican Congressperson like Thom Tillis who places the law and the U.S. Constitution above party loyalty.  
  • Judicial Branch – (8) An also politicized U.S. Supreme Court was MIA: (a) when it allowed Congress’ 1978 CSRA’s deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing of all inherent civil servant’s and military personnel’s duties to contractors, the antithesis of the way our 99%’s democracy was constitutionally required to operate, (b) when it gave immunity to President Donald Trump and all Presidents, while in office, and with no regard for how those Presidents, like Richard Nixon (as an example) had made a mockery of the law and the Constitution, (c) with its Citizens United decision that placed corporate interests above those of the American people (d) allowed George W. Bush to violate the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Establishment Clause) when he “supposedly” found God. (e) allowed George W. Bush to cover-up his national security blunders, or (f) when the U.S. Supreme Court’s Justices adopted a code of ethics, when they have no ethics. 
    • (9) America’s capitalist version of a state-controlled media is not unlike Putin’s Russian dictatorship. The only difference is that Putin unites Russians behind his lies and murders all dissenters whereas America’s richest 1%’s media moguls use their liberal and conservative political analysts to divide the American people to distract them from demanding Congress’ obvious need for its 3rd major civil service reform. Then, those politician’s media and social media moguls cover-up both parties’ lawless acts, all over again.

(II) How 47 whistleblowers exposed 8 President’s and 24 Congress’ lawless Acts​
Democracies are only as good as the information their politicians provide to their citizens. For the first 189-years (1789 – 1978) of the U.S. government’s operation, our Forefather’s 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act and its U.S. Civil Service Commission (USCSC) allowed each President 1 level of loyal political appointees, 1 civil service reform whistleblower protection law, and that both parties respected. The end result was a technically qualified government service (GS) civil servant executive branch to ensure accurate information for each President, a paltry $772 billion debt total in 1978, but that still hid unknown levels of political and corporate waste with that President’s 1 level of loyal political appointees. The accuracy of this statement was validated when America’s 37th President (Richard Nixon) pilfered $2.3 billion of the American people’s tax dollars, and possibly by all 36 prior Presidents (Washington – Johnson) before him! 

Then, over the last 47 years, the last 9 Presidents (Carter – Trump) used Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) to rescind its prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & USCSC. Both parties’ President’s lawless and unconstitutional actions are also recorded in the following 2 books: (1) The Bu$h Agenda, Invading the World, One Economy at a time exposes how America’s politicians are forcing the same deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies on its citizens that they have already inflicted on foreign citizens, and that have already collapsed those citizen’s 10 governments, including: Russia, Nigeria, Jordan, Indonesia, Thailand, Paraguay, India, Ecuador, Yemen, and Hong Kong, (2) Challenger Revealed, exposes how Presidents lie to the American people on a routine basis, like how Challenger was used for a peaceful event when its sole purpose was military.

This is also why the majority of America’s voters no longer trust their politicians, also why they cannot afford to demand anything less than Congress’ 3rd civil service reform to provide them with the checks and balances they need to have real time access to the same levels of information as their politicians, and to: (1) create a government that works for the 99%, and (2) expose all levels of waste (corruption) on a real time basis, not a 47 year/$36+ trillion debt spike after the fact. 

Below is a summary of how both parties’ 47-year crime spree has destroyed the most basic precepts of our Forefather’s democracy, like a few of their below laws, and that are now nothing more than meaningless pieces of paper: 

  • 1791 1st Amendment’s Establishment Clause – create harmony among believers and non-believers, a constitutionally required separation between church and state to maintain civility between its citizens, but then ignored by the U.S. Supreme Court after President George W. Bush supposedly found God to now divide the American people, illegally and unconstitutionally.
  • 1863 False Claims Act (Lincoln Law) – allowed honest politicians, like President Abraham Lincoln, to work with their honest civil servant managers to prosecute crooked contractors for selling deficient corporate goods and services to the U.S. government. But today, both parties’ crooked politicians, contractors, lobbyists, and Wall Street corporate executives are in bed with each other. The accuracy of this statement is best highlighted by how all 3 undemocratic branches of the U.S. government, through their actions and inactions, allowed for the procurement of $36+ trillion of valueless and harmful corporate goods and services. 
  • 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act – legally requires accurate corporate financial statements, but then prevented per an also 2012 Forbes magazine article, “Is the SEC’s Ponzi Crusade Enabling Companies To Cook The Books, Enron-Style?” that describes how the SEC disbanded its own accounting-fraud task force because both parties had been dumbing down the U.S. government’s fiscal sector since 1990, including that of the SEC.

  • Bill of Rights – the 1st 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution included the most basic precepts of America’s democracy, at least for the first 189 years of the U.S. government’s operation. Then, its 47 year downward spiral began, now best highlighted by the Democrat’s top 2 closet dictator politicians, President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and now by the Republican’s very open dictator, President Donald Trump. 

There is no better documentation that records both parties’ 47 year blatant disregard for the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution than the 47 named below whistleblower’s short stories that record how the last 9 Presidents (Carter – Trump) politicized 27 departments, bureaus, and agencies, and that are divided into 3 sections: (A) Financial & Economic Sector, (B) National Security Sector, and (C) Other Sectors. Also, to highlight those 8 President’s blatant abuses of the U.S. government’s secrecy policies, those items are colored red. and identified as the Espionage Act (EA), State Secret Privilege (SSP), and Confidential Business Information (CBI) policies: 

(A) Financial & Economic Sector

(1 thru 3)/CBI Central Agencies [Treasury, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and Government Accountability Office (GAO)] – Our Forefather’s Central Agencies supposed constitutional intent was to use all 3 federal offices to manage (not mismanage) the U.S. government, according to an accountant whistleblower (Larry Fisher), and whose information against the U.S. government was declared secret/confidential business information in 2010, still never to see the light of day. His allegations are that both parties’ politicians used the Central Agencies to mismanage the U.S. government by preventing the money (audit) trails to continue hiding how each President spends each federal budget, also confirmed in GAO’s 2021 testimony. GAO’s 2024 testimony, and America’s 8th rogue President (Donald Trump) conveniently eliminated that GAO report, that was legally required all the way back to 1997. The following additional documents record both parties’ lawless acts within the fiscal sector, as follows: President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and 3 Comptroller Generals (Bowsher, Walker, Dodaro).

​​(4) Department of Defense (DOD) – 2 DOD civil servant whistleblowers (Jim Minnery / Franklin Spinney) ​could not track $2.3 trillion in missing transactions and 25 percent of each DOD budget, also why they were reassigned to hide that waste.​

(5) Securities & Commission (SEC) – A Forbes article “Is the SEC’s Ponzi Crusade Enabling Companies To Cook The Books, Enron-Style?” describes the replacement of college degreed SEC accountants & auditors with non-accountant civil servants and how they created a still-hidden 2025 Eron-style corporate credibility financial statement crisis due to the SEC’s elimination of its once technically qualified accounting-fraud task force.

(B) National Security Sector

(6) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – highlights how our politicians, political appointees, and corporations deceived the American people by using the DHS to stoke the American people’s fears over immigrants, national security, while enriching Home Depot and other corporations to purchase their valueless and unnecessary corporate goods and services. 

(7) Army/EA – Chelsea (Bradley) Manning was convicted of violating the Espionage Act after leaking hundreds of thousands of documents to Wikileaks for rightfully exposing the truth regarding the Army’s atrocities.

(8) National Security Agency’s (NSA)/EA –  NSA’s Thomas Drake, Kirk Wiebe, Bill Binney rightfully questioned the U.S government’s privatizing and outsourcing policies (scams) when their in-house tested $3 million Thin Thread terrorist-tracking software package was replaced with an untested $1.3 billion Trailblazer software package, later scrapped. Tom Drake was the only one charged with violating the Espionage Act.

(9) NSA’s Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) contractor (EA/CBI) – Edward Snowden was also charged with violating the Espionage Act for rightfully revealing his privacy rights concerns for the American people. An accountant whistleblower also exposed how both EPA’s managers and its BAH contractor were covering-up their inability to ensure the accuracy of EPA’s OMB Circular A-123 reviews. 

(10) Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) – John Kiriakou’s (former CIA officer) rightfully exposed the CIA’s waterboarding abuses that then cost him over 2 years in prison for revealing the U.S. government’s treachery and its illegal and inhumane treatment of its prisoners.

  • ​​A retired CIA officer, 71 year old Ray McGovern, was arrested for standing, back turned to (then) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she gave a 2011 speech on the right to dissent. President Barack Obama prevented 74 year old Ray McGovern from attending a 2014 David Petraeus event to again prevent any level of dissent. 

​​​(11) Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI)/SSP – politicians hid their failures to prevent 9/11 in addition to more failures to protect child sex crime victims, per FBI’s whistleblowers Coleen Rowley and Jane Turner.

(C) Other Sectors 

(12/15) Below is a summary of how Congress’ 1978 CSRA divided the U.S. Civil Service Commission’s duties between the 4 below federal entities, on the pretense of protecting whistleblowers, but then illegally and unconstitutionally politicized (destroyed) all 4 offices in the following ways to eliminate all future protections for whistleblowers:

  • (12) Office of Personnel Management (OPM) – 4 of OPM’s electrical engineer, accountant, auditor, and information technology (IT) professional position standards were secretly and illegally undermined when the minimum technical college degree was eliminated in the early 1990’s.
    • There is no way of knowing how many other OPM position standards have been undermined since then, in this and other ways.
  • (13) Office of Special Counsel (OSC) – either trashed or ignored the whistleblower cases that were presented to the OSC and that were supposed to protect all whistleblowers.
  • (14) Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) – Congress defunded its own MSPB, and to no longer protect whistleblowers as legally required.
  • (15) Federal Labor Relations Board (FLRB) – Created to protect federal unions (and all civil servants) then undermined by President Ronald Reagan by firing striking air traffic controllers, and that still occurs under the current President, Joe Biden.

(16) Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) – EPA’s microbiologist (David Lewis) recorded how both parties had prevented its scientists, and 12 other EPA civil servants from performing EPA’s other legally required duties, per those 13 civil servant whistleblowers. Those weakened 1990 EPA infrastructures are now the root cause of both parties’ self-inflicted, ever-worsening climate change disasters, and that will only with Congress’ required 3rd civil service reform. 

​(17) Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) – records Joe Rannazzisi’s efforts to expose an Opioid crisis  to protect the American people, the fallout that followed including Purdue Pharma’s later loss of 400,000 lives for failing to listen to Mr. Rannazzisi. Racial injustice concerns were also covered-up within the DEA, per Chief Deputy Matthew Fogg (Retired). 

(18) Department of Justice – a former DOJ attorney, Jesselyn Radack, blew the whistle on the fed’s misconduct concerning the American Taliban case, John Walker Lindh, during the George W. Bush administration. Later, her evidence was destroyed and withheld from Court, forced out of her job, and placed under criminal investigation. 

(19) Veterans Administration’s (VA) – secretly treated veterans as guinea pigs, all the while pretending to care for America’s veterans.

​​(20) Department of Energy (DOE) – where DOE also secretly politicized and dumbed down its  college degreed electrical engineer position standards to turn those once inherent civil servant duties to corporations, per a former DOE electrical engineer.  ​

(21) National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) – President Ronald Reagan misappropriated the American people’s tax dollars money by deceiving them into thinking that Challenger was being used for a peaceful and exploratory mission when it was used for military purposes, per an NASA whistleblower, Richard C. Cook, in his book “Challenger Revealed.”

(22) Federal Drug Administration’s (FDA) – FDA’s political appointee managers undermined the FDA’s infrastructures to release unsafe drugs and medical devices to the public, per FDA’s whistleblowers, 9 scientists and Dr. David Graham.

(23) National Institute of Environmental Health Science’s (NIEHS) – NIEHS’s political appointee managers harassed and retaliated against an NIEHS whistleblower (Dr. James Huff) for publicly voicing his concerns about the chemical industry.

(24) National Institute of Health’s (NIH) – NIH’s political appointee managers retaliated against NIH’s Dr. Edward McSweegan and fired Dr. Jonathan Fishbein for trying to protect the American people’s health and well-being,

(25) Health and Human Service’s (HHS) – HHS’s political appointee managers established bogus (faith-based) safety net programs that had nothing to do with protecting disadvantaged people but to instead enrich both parties’ politicians, per an HHS whistleblower (Evy Brown).

(26) Department of Education’s (DOE)– DOE’s failed Common Core testing regimens highlight the need to get both politicians and their political appointee managers out of the business of mismanaging teachers (and all civil servants), per the article “Rage against the Common Core” by professor David L. Kirp.​​

​(27) Army Corps of Engineer’s (ACE) – Vice President Dick Cheney’s political appointee managers demoted Bunny Greenhouse, an SES political appointee whistleblower, for rightfully questioning Dick Cheney’s (sole source) Haliburton contract during the Iraq war, that illegally enriched Cheney and his Halliburton.

(III) How State Governors Used Congress’ 1978 CSRA To Destroy State Democracies
This same federal deregulation, privatizing, outsourcing cancer has now spread and infected state governments. North Carolina’s (NC) former Governor Pat McCroy copycatted the fed’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) practice of politicizing all executive branch positions to now allow a Governor (politician) to mismanage an entire NC’s executive branch. Then, Governor Pat McCroy, fired Joe Vincoli, a North Carolina civil servant for political reasons, and for rightfully questioning Governor McCrory’s lawless acts. Bill Gates rightfully questioned a growing number of state’s gross waste, fraud and abuse of their citizen’s tax dollars. The big question is this. How many of the other 49 state Governors have copycatted Congress’ 1978 CSRA to steal the American people’s tax dollars, at those state and local levels?
