Under construction

The downward spiral of our 99%’s democracy began with Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) that included gross levels of missing and inaccurate information that was marketed as creating efficiency and accountability when its sole intent was to eliminate all levels of dissent to allow the richest 1%’s politicians and their corporate cronies to takeover our democracy. The accuracy of this statement is recorded in a Nixon-era/Malek Manual that explained how the president’s political appointees could eliminate all levels of dissent from whistleblowers without getting caught. Then, over the last 45-years (1981 – 2026), both parties parties’ richest 1% used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to destroy our democracy, illegally and unconstitutionally by: (1) rescinding Congress’ prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act’s U.S. Civil Service Commissions (USCSC), that had once qualified our government as a democracy, and (2) creating a 45-year/$38+ trillion debt spike that went from that 1981/$1 trillion debt low to a 2026/$39+ trillion debt total, and still no end in sight!

Prior to the 2008 economic crisis, the retaliation, demotion, and firing of both civil servant and contractor whistleblowers was so bad that they began working together to expose both parties’ lawless acts. Those lawless acts occurred despite the Constitution’s 1st Amendment’s free speech rights, and Congress’ following 3 laws that legally protected all civil servants (including whisleblowers):

  1. 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act &  USCSC
  2. 1989 Whistleblower Protection Act, and
  3. 1978 Civil Service Reform Act

The accuracy of the above allegation is supported by the following 2 documents: (1) 77 whistleblower  Petition to Congress demanding that they enfore their own whistleblower protection laws, to no avail, (2) in 2005, like-minded whistleblower lawyers financed a 100+ whistleblower dissent event at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. with the sole intent of providing the media with a credible story that was intended to stoke the American people’s demands for major government reform. Both parties’ major dissent events have still never been reported by the media, still under both parties’ fake claims of an American democracy. 

Today’s challenge is to expose the truth to the American people when both parties’ richest 1% control all levels of misinformation within both the government and the media, not unlike Putin’s Russian dictatorship. The accuracy of this statement is summarized in the below bullets:

  • (1) Government: The last 8 Presidents (Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump) abused the government’s secrecy policies to coverup their own lawless actions via their abuses of the:
  • (2) Media: In 1996, the richest 1% media moguls like Ruppert Murdoch’s (Fox News), Ted Turner’s (CNN), Roger Ailes’ (MSNBC), Jeff Bezos and others along with their also richest 1%’s social media moguls (Mark Zuckerberg’s and Elon Musk’s Facebook, Meta, Instagram, and Twitter) began controlling  all levels of misinformation, and
    • determined what the 99% do and do not see, still under the richest 1%’s pretense of America’s democracy.

Look at the above information and understand that the last 45-years of both parties’ richest 1%’s operation of our 99%’s now former democracy is labeled for what it is, legalized crime “of, by, and for the richest 1%. Long story short, the American people have 2 options: (1) watch both parties continued downward spiral of our government, our lives, and with our own wasted tax dollars, or (2) demand that the 119th Congress pass its 3rd civil service reform to change 3 interdependent (and corrupt) government branches back to separate and independent as our Forefathers had intended but that was unconstitutionally undermined over these last 45-years.

The remainder of this Home page provides the background information to fully understand how America’s richest 1%’s politicians and their corporate cronies destroyed our democracy, and how we can fix that undemocratic travesty, per the following 4 sections:

  • (I) How Both Parties Used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to Destroy America’s Democracy
  • (II) What Does a Corporate and a Democratic Business Model Have in Common 
  • (III) The Initial Actions That Are Needed to Begin Cleaning Up the Government
  • (IV) Why politicians must work with whistleblowers to end the wanton waste of their citizen’s tax dollars 

Section I explains how both parties used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to destroy America’s federal democracy, and that was copycatted by at least 1 Governor (Pat McCrory), and who knows how many other Governors and Mayors since then. Section II explains how America’s taxpayers and voters can end the wanton waste of their tax dollars by demanding real time access to the same levels of information as a stockholder of a corporation (their government), including how their politicians spend their tax dollars. Section III identies the actions that are needed to begin the above 2 section’s proposed government reforms. Section IV explains the need for politicians and whistleblowers to work together to restore their citizen’s faith in their government and to cut the wanton waste of their citizen’s tax dollars.

(I) How Both Parties Used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to Destroy America’s Democracy
The downward spiral of our Forefather’s democratic experiment began in 1789 when they created their Constitution that legally required 3 separate and independent government branches and solely reliant upon the integrity of 47 Presidents (Washington – Trump), 119 Congresses, the judicial branch, and the U.S. Supreme Court. In other words, they unwittingly set the stage for the collapse of their democratic experiment and the American people’s democracy because later Congresses, the executive branches’ Presidents, and the judicial branches’ U.S. Supreme Court’s Justices could now undermine themselves and each other, laugh all the way to the bank, and never be held accountable for their crimes. In other words, all 3 government branches have always been interdependent (and corrupt), per the below bullets: 

  • During a 54-year period (1829 – 1883), via both parties’ richest 1%’s lucrative spoils/patronage system,
  • During a 45-year period (1981 – 2026), via both parties richest 1%’s  lucrative deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies where they replaced civil servants with contractors,
    • $38+ trillion in political booty, still counting, and still under the richest 1%’s pretense of our 99%’s democracy

During those 54 years, our ancestors had rightfully gotten tired of both parties’ endless lies, internal bickering, and being ripped off by their richest 1%’s politicians and corporations. Their government reform demands led to Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & U.S. Civil Service Commission (USCSC) that legally required: (1) an executive branch of apolitical, technically qualified civil servants, (2) the USCSC that was not under the President’s control (not under the executive branch) to prevent the President’s firing of civil servants for political reasons, and (3) placing the President’s handpicked 1 level of their loyal political appointee managers over the executive branches’ civil servant employees placed civil servants in subservient positions to hide egregious levels of  waste on the assumption that no one would have the guts to question the integrity of the President of the United States.

That political assumption worked until it didn’t! In 1969, Ernie Fitzgerald, an Air Force civil servant whistleblower, exposed how President Richard Nixon had covered up a 2.3 billion C-5A transport plane cost overrun, why Nixon had him fired, and why Mr. Fitzgerald won his case against the President because the USCSC was not under the executive branch. Then, in 1971, Daniel Ellsberg’s Pentagon Papers led to Nixon’s humiliating 1974 resignation. Now, both parties’ richest 1%’s political dilemma was how to eliminate all levels of dissent, without getting caught, to continue their cushy lifestyles using our Forefather’s honest error that led to both parties’ 237-year (1789 – 2026) use of all 3 government branches as interdependent (and corrupt). Their major political problem was coming up with a credible excuse to allow Congress’ 2nd civil service reform to divide the USCSC’s duties under the executive branch (now under the President’s control), eliminate their (Fitzgerald / Ellsberg) whistleblower problem, and fake an American democracy over the last 45-years.

So, immediately after 1974, both parties’ politicians spent the next 4 years spreading rumors about our Forefather’s lazy and inept civil servants. Those lies were promoted by David E. Lewis, an assistant professor of politics and public affairs at Princeton University in his book, The Politics of Presidential Appointments, and his mislabeling of civil servants as “underworked, overpaid, and unresponsive.” This was also despite the fact than neither party had a credible excuse for allowing Congress’ unnecessary 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) because its prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform & USCSC had used our Forefather’ apolitical, technically qualified civil servants to operate the government for the first 189 years (1789 – 1978) of its operationat at a paltry 1978/$772 billion debt total. 

Then, starting 1981, and over the next 45 years, both parties used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to divide the USCSC’s duties between the 4 below executive branch offices [each of which was legally required (wink/nod) to protect whistleblowers] but that they jointly destroyed in the following ways by: 

  • (A) increasing each President’s level of loyal political appointees from 1 level to 4 levels, that included the President’s 1 level of their loyal handpicked 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 automatically 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 required to protect whistleblowers but that were secretly destroyed over the last 45 years to eliminate all legal protections for civil servant whistleblowers, still under the richest 1%’s pretense of our 99%’s democracy:    

Congress’ new ” dictatorial” Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act made legal (?) what was previously illegal, now secretly violated by the Republicans, and 2 top Democrats, President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton.

The below items (1 -8) explain how both parties used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to create 3 interdependent (and corrupt) government branches to hide all levels of corruption, and why they 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, (3) their lobbyists played key roles in this undemocratic travesty by writing lawless and meaningless laws, solely to enrich the already richest 1%, and the hell with America’s 99%!T
  • Executive Branch – A no longer democratic executive branch consists of the following groups that implemented Congress’ lawless and meaningless laws: (3) the last 8 Presidents and their Vice Presidents, (4) their 4 levels of political appointees (thugs/enforcers), (5) both parties’ contractors still sell valueless and harmful corporate goods and services to the U.S. government, (6) Wall Street’s corporate executives worked as political appointees for those Presidents by destroying 18,000 SEC cases against themselves and their Wall Street cronies to create the 2008 economic crisis. This federal scam continued with President Barack Obama’s lie to end this Wall Street cancer with his open, transparent, accountable government effort. Instead, President Barack Obama chose to continue enriching himself, 3 later Presidents (Trump, Biden, and Trump), and their corporate cronies, (7) 2.3 million civilian and 1.3 million military personnel who are still beholden to America’s 8th corrupt President (Donald Trump), who still demands their blind loyalty, per Congress’ new dictatorial law, also why he must be impeached.  
  • Judicial Branch (8) – An also politicized US Supreme Court was MIA when it: (a) 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 Congress’ prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was constitutionally required to operate, (b) 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) allowed 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 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. 

There is also no way of knowing just how badly all 50 state and local democracies’ 3 branches of their governments have also been politicized. Why? Because North Carolina’s (NC) former Governor (Pat McCrory) copycatted Congress’ 1978 CSRA’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, just like the federal government’s last 8 Presidents, he now used Congress’ 1978 CSRA  law to give himself (a politician) the authority to “hire and fire NC’s civil servants” to hide his gross waste of NC’s citizen’s tax dollars. The accuracy of this statement was recorded when he fired an NC civil servant (Joe Vincoli) for exposing McCrory’s waste, fraud, and abuse of NC’s citizens tax dollars.

Based upon Bill Gates’ public concerns over the “state’s accounting practies, there is also no way of knowing just how many of the 50 state Governors, Mayors, and other low ranking politicians have also hidden how those citizen’s tax dollars are also wasted. Thes same federal concerns were also echoed by 2 Department of Defense whistleblowers and an accountant whistleblower whose records were declared secret/confidential business information in September 2010, and still never to see the light of day. 

(II) What Does a Corporate and a Democratic Business Model Have in Common 

start here

The big question for Americans and all worldwide citizens is how to permanently end the routine rise and fall of governments since the beginning of time! That effort begins with the realization that politician’s and their citizen’s wants and needs are the polar opposites; politicians hide their taxpayer’s waste to enrich themselves while taxpayers want cost effective governments.

Based upon my 4-year college accounting degree that focused only on the private sector, it occurred to me that just as corporations have business models to ensure their success by cutting their expenses, there was no credible reason why America’s Presidents, Governors, and Mayors could not use a single democratic business accounting model to accurately account for their federal, state/local, budget totals, cut those government’s expenses, and those citizen’s tax dollars. This federal, state/local process was feasible only because those governments shared the same political and banking system. On a much broader scale, however, this same single democratic business accounting model could be adapted to foreign government’s unique political and budgeting processes, as well.

During a 6-year period (1980 – 1986), I was so concerned over what I considered to be internal threats to the government’s financial security, no ability to manage any facet of the government’s operation with no money (audit) trails, that I wrote a government accounting book and created an accounting model that explained how to generate accurate federal budget totals, and that I used to lobby Congress and the Central Agencies (Treasury, OMB, GAO) political appointees to promote that single democratic business accounting model idea. During a 3-year period (1987 – 1990), both parties publicly promoted that idea with their exact opposite intent where: (1) Both parties used Congress’ 1978 CSRA’s OPM (see above reference) to replace the government’s technically qualified fiscal sector’s civil servants with unqualified civil servants, (2) Rep. Joe DioGuardi (a CPA) authored Congress 1990 Chief Financial Officers Act to legally require (wink/nod) accurate federal budget totals, (3) GAO’s 2024 testimony confirms that there are still no accurate federal budget totals (CFSs), and (4) America’s 8th corrupt President (Donald Trump) solved both parties’ embarrassing GAO testimony problem by eliminating that report in 2025 and 2026!

That single democratic business accounting model is even more vital today than it was back in 1987. Just as corporations need credible upfront business models to cut their expenses and ensure their success, that same logic applies to all citizens who want to create (or recreate) credible, sustainable, and cost-effective democracies where citizens now know how, where, and when their presidents spend their tax dollars. In the case of the American people, the only way to cut their politician’s gross waste of their tax dollars begins with their demands for the checks and balances (the laws) they need upfront to permanently end their politician’s waste on a real time basis, and not a 45-year/$38+ trillion unconstitutional debt spike after the fact. The below bullets highlight how this single democratic business accounting model can apply to all citizen’s governments, federal, state/local, and foreign by:

·        (1)allowng citizens to have access to the same levels of information as their politicians, on a real time basis.

 

o   For the American people, that effort begins with their demands for the 119th Congress’ passage of its 3rd civil service reforms to depoliticize all 3 corrupt branches of the government, and a required 2-part process to: (a) recreate an apolitical, technically qualified civil servant executive branch (as legally required by Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act), and (b) use that newly recreated apolitical and technically qualified civil servant executive branch to continually ensure that all 3 government branches are always separate and independent by legally questioning: 

 

§  (1) Congress’ laws, (2) the President’s and their political appointee’s actions, and (3) the U.S. Supreme Court’s Justices’ interpretations of the law, and

 

§  where all differences are arbitrated publicly in court.

 

·        (2)creating the money (audit) trails needed to provide accurate federal, state/local, and foreign budget totals for all citizens to ensure that their Presidents, Governors, Mayors, and foreign leaders are operating those citizen’s governments in a cost-effective manner.

(III) The Initial Actions That Are Needed to Begin Cleaning Up the Government

(IV) Why politicians must work with whistleblowers to end the wanton waste of their citizen’s tax dollars 
When our Forefathers created their Constitution’s 3 legally required (legislative, executive, judicial), based solely upon the honesty of later politicians, they unknowingly set the stage for the collapse of their democratic experiment, and our 99%’s federal, state, and local governments, per the above 3 sections. From the American people’s perspective where they looked at their government from their perspective as a stockholder (citizen and voter) of “their” government, our Forefathers had made a fatally flawed business decision. Why? Because Congress could pass whatever laws the American people wanted, and then later Congresses, the executive branches’ Presidents, and the judicial branches’ U.S. Supreme Court’s Justices could undermine themselves and each other, laugh all the way to the bank, and never be held accountable for their crimes. 

Our Forefather’s actions were, however, honest and for the following 2 reasons:

During the first 39-years (1789 – 1828) of the government’s operation, our honest Forefather’s democracy worked the way they had intended.

That undemocratic travesty began with our Forefather’s lucrative spoils/patronage system, and over a period of 54-years (1829 – 1883).

(V) What Actions Must Americans Take to Create Their Government “Of, By, and For the People” 

 

The not too distant collapse of the American people’s democracy was an accident waiting to happen, cccc George W. Bush real time access to the same levels of information as their politicians and an accurate accounting of all citizen’s tax dollars for Americans and foreign citzens, alike federal, state

(VI) Why Whistleblowers & the 119th Congress Must Work Together To Create a 3rd Civil Service Reform
There is no better documentation that records both parties’ 48 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 8 Presidents (Reagan – 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 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 US 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 how America’s 9th  President (Donald Trump) eliminated that GAO report, that was legally required all the way back to 1997. The following additional documents also 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, and now more taxpayer waste with President Donald Trump’s ICE Agents. 

(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 cost reports. 

(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 politicized and undermined by 3 broken and no longer democratic branches of the federal government over the last 48 years.

(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 end with Congress’ 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.
