My name is Larry Fisher. I was a federal accountant for 40 years (1970 – 2010), mostly as a whistleblower, now 14 years retired. I created America’s Bottoms Up Democratic Model website for 1 reason. That was to expose the truth about how both parties’ richest 1%’s deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies led to the political and corporate takeover of the American people’s democracy. This website includes 47 named whistleblower scientists, doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants, auditors, and other disciplines within 27 departments, bureaus, and agencies who were retaliated against, demoted, or fired for rightfully questioning those politician’s lawless acts. That truth is still hidden because both parties’ 2 opposing liberal and conservative media’s political analysts continually divide the American people to bicker among ourselves while both parties’ politicians enrich themselves. Neither party is right when they both oversaw a 47-year (1978 – 2025)/$36+ trillion debt spike that went from a 1978/$772 billon low to its current $36.7 trillion total, still no end in sight, and that is still covered-up by those richest 1%’s politicians and their also richest 1%’s media moguls, like Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos and others, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg!
More specifically, the richest 1%’s 7 prior Presidents (Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden), 23 Congress’ (95-118) Senate & House of Rep. leaders, and the judicial branches’ U.S. Supreme Court Justices jointly weakened the executive branches’ infrastructures, through their actions and inactions, to rubber stamp all levels of corruption long before the 2024 election. Both parties’ unconstitutional success story led to the reelection of President Donald Trump when both parties’ 2024 presidential candidates (Trump & Harris) had promised a strong economy despite the fact that both they and their 2 blatantly corrupt parties’ politicians had already weakened the economy with their self-inflicted $36+ trillion debt problem. But, instead of addressing both parties’ corruption problem, they used their 2 politically and corporately controlled liberal and conservative political analysts to blame the other parties’ politicians over a debt problem they jointly created, then rubber stamped by the 119th Congress, and U.S. Supreme Court. Those political analysts also failed to report any levels of dissent that would have united the American people over the need for major government reform. Two still unreported levels of dissent occurred in Washington, D.C. involving 100+ whistleblowers and 5 years of protests over Congress’ failures to uphold their whistleblower protection laws.
I also want to acknowledge upfront that the Wikipedia version of Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) that I use throughout my website is inaccurate, per President Jimmy Carter’s original CSRA. During my 14 years of research, I also uncovered both parties’ other gross levels of misinformation, as follows: (1) Congress had no credible excuse for passing its 1978 CSRA because its 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act / U.S. Civil Service Commission (USCSC) had protected the American people’s democracy for the first 189 years (1789 – 1978) of the U.S. government’s operation, and a paltry 1978/$772 billion debt total. (2) There was also no credible excuse for eliminating the 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act’s USCSC because Ernie Fitzgerald, an Air Force civil servant whistleblower, had used that USCSC to get rehired after President Richard Nixon had him fired for exposing Nixon’s pilfering of $2.3 billion of the American people’s tax dollars. Mr. Fitzgerald won that case only because our Forefathers had placed the USCSC outside of the executive branch, and President’s Nixon’s control to fire him. That gross untruth regarding the USCSC was included in Wikipedia’s 1978 CSRA to support both parties’ lucrative deregulation, privatizing, outsourcing policies, $36+ trillion and still counting!
My website records both parties’ sheer evil and hypocrisy as occurring over the last 47 years (1978 – 2025) where Congress marketed its 1978 Civil Service Reform Act’s (CSRA) deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies as creating government efficiency, but with a more nefarious and undemocratic intent. That was to rescind our Forefather’s 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act / U.S. Civil Service Commission (USCSC) to secretly create a politically loyal civil servant executive branch whose only loyalty was to the President, and solely to prevent the humiliating resignation of yet another corrupt president, like President Richard Nixon in 1974. Then, over the last 47 years, both parties secretly began changing our Forefather’s constitutionally required apolitical, technically qualified civil servant executive branch, that was unbeholden to no president to politically loyal and beholden to all 8 (and future) Presidents to now rubber stamp all levels of corruption.
Both parties achieved the unconstitutional political and corporate takeover of both the U.S. government’s civilian and Department of Defense (DOD) sectors by giving all 8 President’s positions of power that never existed under our Forefather’s democracy, now akin to a dictator, thanks to Congress’ 1978 CSRA, to now politicize and destroy the executive branches’ civilian and DOD infrastructures in the following ways:
- (A) increasing each President’s levels of loyal political appointees from 1 level to 4 (or more) levels, that included the President’s 1 level of their hand-picked political appointees (1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act),
- plus 3 (or more) levels by: (1) changing a prior apolitical government service (GS-15) management position to political, and adding 2 (or more) levels of loyal political appointees: (2) Senior Executive Service (SES) and (3) Schedule C political appointees, and that were carried over from 1 President to the next.
- (B) dividing the USCSC’s duties between 4 executive branch offices (now under each President’s direct control) to legally protect whistleblowers, but that all 7 prior Presidents and 23 Congresses destroyed, to now eliminate all levels of dissent, destroy all checks and balances, disqualify the U.S. government as a democracy, in the following ways:
-
- (1) Office of Personnel Management (OPM) – Deleted the minimal college degree requirement from at least 4 college degreed government service (GS) civil servant position standards: (i) electrical engineers, and the fiscal sector’s (ii) accountants, (iii) auditors, (iv) information technology (IT) positions, and probably more.
-
- (2) Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) – Congress defunded its own MSPB
-
- (3) Office of Special Counsel (OSC) – The OSC ignored or failed to process those whistleblower cases against each President.
-
- (4) Federal Labor Relations Authority – Created to protect federal unions but that President Ronald Reagan undermined when he fired striking air traffic controllers.
- (C) Congress’ new Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act made legal what was previously illegal. That is, retaliate against anyone the current President or administration deemed to be disloyal (this website’s 47 named whistleblowers), now openly by America’s 8th rogue President, Donald Trump, and
-
- more discreetly by the Democrat’s President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Based upon my 40 years as a federal accountant and 14 years of research, I label the last 47 years of the U.S. government’s operation for what I believe it to be, legalized crime, and both parties $36+ trillion federal scam, for 2 reasons: (1) Congress’ 1978 deregulated (destroyed) the rules and regulations that had once protected the American people from all levels of corporate abuse under its prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, and (2) all 8 Presidents used their 4 (or more) levels of loyal political appointees (thugs/enforcers) to replace those civil servant and contractor whistleblowers with more politically loyal (mostly unqualified people). The below weakened executive branch infrastructures illustrate how this scam works, per a few of the above named 47 whistleblower’s accounts of what happened, and with the American people’s own wasted $36+ trillion tax dollars:
- environment (climate change), financial and economic security, national security, fake national security threats, privacy rights violations, health/well being, created an opioid crisis, 400,000 fatalities, and
-
- still-hidden are President Donald Trump’s inability to manage any facet of the U.S. government because its federal budget totals are fake, aka consolidate financial statements (CFSs), ditto for America’s fake corporate financial statements, of a U.S. government that is now on the verge of financial, economic, and moral collapse.
My America’s Bottoms Up Democratic Business Model Blog page includes the same information that is included in this page as a way of summarizing my key points regarding the infrastructure weaknesses whistleblowers experienced along with the ongoing cover-ups that prevented many of our stories from being discussed, except in a few rare cases. The below website pages provide the more in-depth information to further support my allegations and the need for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform to possibly still prevent the not-too-distant collapse of the American people’s U.S. government:
- Home page: records how all 3 branches of the U.S. government’s operation are no longer democratic and must be restructured, includes those 47 named whistleblower’s accounts of why 27 politicized departments, bureaus, and agencies now undermine every facet of their citizen’s lives, and how former Governor (Pat McCroy) copycatted Congress’ 1978 CSRA to also politicize and destroy North Carolina’s democracy, and possibly the other 49 states.
- Financial & Economic Collapse page: records how I had warned both parties as far back as the 1980’s that Congress’ 4 (or more) levels of loyal political appointees (non-accountants) had created internal threats to the U.S. government’s financial and economic security, also why there are no technical reasons for creating accurate federal budget totals, only political.
- Government Reform page: records the need for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform to change a 47-year-old unconstitutionally created politically loyal government service (GS) civil servant executive branch back to apolitical, technically qualified and that is (once again) unbeholden to no President, including Donald Trump. Given the fact that both parties’ politicians control all levels of misinformation within both the U.S. government and the media, Congress’s 3rd civil service reform is needed to negate the 3 below ways that allowed both parties’ richest 1% to unconstitutionally destroy our 99%’s democracy:
-
- (1) Rescind Congress’ 1978 CSRA’s deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies, the root cause for both parties’ self-inflicted $36+ trillion debt problem.
-
- (2) Legally prevent either party from using their richest 1%’s 2 opposing liberal and conservative media moguls to intentionally divide the American people, under the pretense of those media’s 1st Amendment free speech rights, and
- the need for new antitrust laws to restore the American people’s protections from all levels of corporate abuse, and that had existed under Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act.
- (2) Legally prevent either party from using their richest 1%’s 2 opposing liberal and conservative media moguls to intentionally divide the American people, under the pretense of those media’s 1st Amendment free speech rights, and
-
- (3) Legally require the creation of the money (audit) trails needed to accurately account for how each President spends each federal budget, that both parties have secretly and unconstitutionally prevented for 236 years (1789 – 2025).
- now key to cutting 25% and more in waste from today’s $6.75 trillion federal budgets.
- (3) Legally require the creation of the money (audit) trails needed to accurately account for how each President spends each federal budget, that both parties have secretly and unconstitutionally prevented for 236 years (1789 – 2025).
Congress’ 3rd civil service reform is needed to create a bottoms up and more democratic form of government that provides the American people with real time access to the same levels of information as their politicians, for 2 reasons: (1) publicly expose and end all levels of waste on a real time basis, not a 47 year/$36+ trillion federal scam after the fact, and (2) restore the American people’s faith in their now broken and blatantly corrupt U.S. government.
