America’s Bottoms Up Democratic Business Model
budbmweb.com

This website includes 47 named whistleblowers within 27 departments, bureaus, and agencies, who were retaliated against for rightfully questioning the U.S. government’s deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies that unconstitutionally changed an American democracy from “of, by, and for the people’s 99%” to “of, by, and for the richest 1%’s politicians and corporations.” 

Prior to President Donald Trump’s 2024 reelection, he and 6 other Presidents (Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden), 23 Congresses (95 – 118), and their corporate cronies had already pilfered $35+ trillion of the American people’s tax dollars over the last 46 years (1978 – 2024). That irrefutable truth is recorded in the richest 1%’s 46 year/$35+ trillion debt spike, that went from a 1978/$789 billion low to its current $36+ trillion total, enriched themselves, produced nothing of value, inflicted unending levels of pain and suffering on their citizens, and with their own wasted $35+ trillion tax dollars! How was that possible under an American democracy when Congress’ 2 civil service reforms (laws) and a 1989 Whistleblower Protection Act legally protects civil servants from being retaliated against for political reasons, like questioning the richest 1%’s political and corporate takeover of the “American people’s” U.S. government? America’s not-so-democratic media’s political analysts were also MIA when they failed to make public a 2005 event that included joint levels of dissent by 100+ civil servant and contractor whistleblowers. That event was financed by the National, Judicial and Disability Law Project, Inc. Those whistleblower stories are still waiting to be made public, now imperative given that the newly reelected 2024 President is Donald Trump, a wannabe dictator, who wants to eliminate all levels of dissent, just like he and those other 6 Presidents had already secretly and unconstitutionally done over these last 46 years.     

The sole purpose of this website is to rightfully label the last 46 years (1978 – 2024) of the U.S. government’s operation for what it is, legalized crime and the richest 1%’s so far perfect $35+ trillion federal scam, still under their pretense of the “American people’s” democracy. Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) was marketed as creating government efficiency when its real intent was to increase our Forefather’s waste (their booty) even more than their 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act / U.S. Civil Service Commission (USCSC), after 189 years (1789 – 1978) of the U.S. government’s operation, and with a paltry 1978/$789 billion debt total. Our Forefather’s federal scam worked until it didn’t! In 1969, Ernie Fitzgerald, an Air Force civil servant whistleblower, exposed President Richard Nixon’s 2.3 billion C-5A transport plane’s tax payer waste, was fired, and rehired. Mr. Fitzgerald won his case only because the USCSC was not under the executive branch, and each President’s control, thereby protecting the “American people’s” democracy from its first rogue President, Richard Nixon. Shortly after, another whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg, with his Pentagon Papers, exposed even more of President Richard Nixon’s wrongdoing, and his August 1974 political demise.

The below bullets more than support the American people’s demands for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform, and to hold the last 5 still living Presidents (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donad Trump, Joe Biden) and 23 Congress’ (95-118) Senate/House leaders legally and financially accountable for the $35+ trillion debt spike that they created by lying to the American people and covering-up their lawless acts on 4 occasions: (1) Congress had no legal excuse for passing its 1978 CSRA, (2) They deceived the American people into thinking that they divided the USCSC’s duties between 4 executive branches to protect whistleblowers when their true intent was to eliminate those whistleblowers, and all levels of dissent, (3) then Congress and those 5 Presidents worked as one to destroy all 4 executive branch offices, and (4) equally nefarious and undemocratic, they created a politically-controlled media to cover-up their lawless acts. Below is a summary of those President’s and Congress’ blatant violations of their oaths of office:

  • (1) The last 7 Presidents used Congress’ 1978 CSRA to create 3 additional levels of loyal political appointees that were carried over from 1 President to the next (all vetted by prior Presidents to ensure their political loyalty). That was in addition to each Presidents already handpicked 1 level of loyal political appointees.
    • Now, each President had 4 levels of loyal political appointees, powers that had never existed under Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, more on par with a Putin-like dictatorship, and that they used to eliminate all levels of dissent, like the above noted 47 whistleblowers.
  • (2) Then, the last 7 Presidents and 23 Congresses permanently eliminated their (Ernie Fitzgerald / Daniel Ellsberg) whistleblower problem when they jointly destroyed all 4 executive branch offices over the last 46 years (bullet 3), along with the checks and balances that had once existed under our Forefather’s 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act and USCSC. 
  • (3) Congress divided the USCSC’s duties between the following 4 executive branch offices, now under the President’s direct control, each of which was legally required (on paper) to protect whistleblowers but to now permanently eliminate all whistleblower protections:
    • (a) Office of Personnel Management – changed the executive branch from qualified to unqualified by deleting the minimal college degree requirement from the following 4 college degreed position standards for government service (GS) civil servant: (i) electrical engineers, and the fiscal sector’s (ii) accountants, (iii) auditors, and (iv) information technology (IT) positions. There is no way of knowing how many other college degreed civil servant position standards have also been dumbed down in this and similar ways.
      • Note: This is the same scam that the last 7 Presidents (including Donald Trump) used to unconstitutionally change a 2.1 million pre-1978 CSRA executive branch from merit-based qualified (unbeholden) and limited numbers of contractors to unqualified (beholden) and both parties’ hordes of their politically-connected contractors to hide all levels of political and corporate waste, $35+ trillion (and still counting).
        • Starting on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump is using Elon Musk to repeat this federal scam, and to enrich the already richest 1%, all over again! 
    • (b) Merit Systems Protection Board – Congress defunded its own MSPB and then looked the other way while all 7 Presidents politicized and undermined its 2 remaining (below) executive branch offices
  • (4) Then, all 7 Presidents created an also 2.1 million politically loyal (often unqualified) civil servant executive branch to rubberstamp the procurement of both parties’ politically-connected contractor’s deficient goods and services, a blatant violation of Congress’ 1863 False Claims Act, aka Lincoln’s law, and with dire results.
    • Within the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA), the replacement of EPA’s scientists and its technically qualified civil servants began with George H.W. Bush, per EPA’s 13 whistleblowers, now the root cause of both parties’ self-inflicted, ever-worsening climate change disasters, now under President Joe Biden.
      • Multiply that single EPA travesty across all federal departments, bureaus, and agencies, and you begin to understand how 7 Presidents and 23 Congresses have politicized and entire executive branch, and that now undermines every facet of the American people’s lives.   

Over the last 46 years, both parties’ politicians not only destroyed the executive branch but all 3 branches of the U.S. government, as explained in the below items (1 -8). Item 9 is labeled as America’s capitalist version of a state-controlled media because 2 politically controlled liberal and conservative media’s political analysts: (1) never reported the whistleblower stories that would have united the American people over the need for major government reform, (2) divided the American people to bicker among themselves while ignoring both parties’ lawless acts. Then, both parties’ blatantly corrupt politicians allowed their richest 1%’s corporate rich guys, like Jeff Bezos, Rupert Murdock’s Fox News and Wall Street Journal, and others to gobble up media outlets to cover-up both those politicians and their corporation’s lawless actions, of a no longer sustainable U.S. government, and that now more than justifies the American people’s demands for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform: 

  • Legislative Branch – (1) Congress’ last 23 (95 – 118) Senate and House of Representative’s leaders, and (2) their lobbyists now write lawless and meaningless laws, solely to enrich themselves, and with no regard for the best interests of the American people. 
    • After Ernie Fitzgerald and Daniel Ellsberg, Congress no longer enforced its 3 above noted whistleblower protection laws, also the most basic precept of America’s democracy, that had once existed 46 years ago. 
  • Executive Branch – An executive branch that consists of the following groups that implement Congress’ lawless and meaningless laws: (3) the last 7 Presidents and 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 President’s George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush by destroying 18,000 SEC cases against themselves and their Wall Street friends. This federal scam also includes President Barack Obama who was elected to end this Wall Street cancer with his open, transparent, accountable government promise, and the $10 trillion dollar debt total he inherited. Instead, President Barack Obama ignored that promise, continued that illicit and lucrative Wall Street liaison, as did his successors (Trump and Biden) to instead add another $25+ trillion in debt, to the current $35+ trillion debt total, (7) 2.1 million politically loyal (often unqualified), beholden civil servants who are needed to rubberstamp both parties’ political and corporate waste (the richest 1%’s booty), along with their lawless acts. 
  • Judicial Branch – (8) A U.S. Supreme Court that was MIA when it allowed: (a) A former President Donald Trump to break whatever laws he wanted, make a mockery of the law and U.S. Constitution, to then also protect 4 other still living Presidents (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden) who also broke the law. (b) Citizens United decision that placed corporate interests above those of the American people (c) George W. Bush to violate the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Establishment Clause) when he supposedly found God. (d) George W. Bush to cover-up his national security blunders, or (e) 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 that is not unlike Putin’s Russian dictatorship. The only difference is that Putin united Russians behind his lies and then used his dictator status to eliminate all levels of dissent, through whatever lawless and criminal acts that he unilaterally deemed appropriate. 

      America’s politicians did the very same thing, but under their pretense of a democracy, some of which were noted in the aforementioned information. In addition to having Congress no longer enforce their 3 whistleblower protection laws, the last 7 Presidents used Congress’ 1978 CSRA’s 4 levels of political appointees and their political analysts to: (a) ignore the whistleblower stories they received, and that would have exposed the need for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform, (b) violate their oaths of office by retaliating against whistleblowers for political reasons, like the below examples:
      • (a) In 2005, the National, Judicial and Disability Law Project, Inc. financed a whistleblower event at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., that included 100+ civil servant and contractor whistleblowers, their first organized joint effort of dissent in their attempt to draw the media’s attention, to no avail.
      • (b) In 2008, 76 whistleblowers signed a formal Petition to the United States Congress to uphold those 3 whistleblower protection laws, again to no avail.

        In addition to the above 2 undemocratic travesties, the last 7 Presidents also abused the U.S. government’s secrecy policies to cover-up those Presidents and 23 Congress’ lawless acts, via the abuse of their Espionage Act, state secrets privilege, and confidential business information policies.

        In 2010, after an accountant whistleblower’s freedom of information act (FOIA) was declared secret/confidential business information, he committed the last 14 years of his retirement to creating America’s Bottoms Up Democratic Business Model, to highlight the need for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform. 

The focus of this website is to provide the American people with the background information they need to fully understand how, not unlike Putin’s Russian dictatorship, the last 7 Presidents used their 4 levels of loyal political appointees to secretly eliminate all levels of dissent using Congress’ 1978 CSRA lawless law. Both parties’ unconstitutional success story was exposed during the 2024 election when their 2 Presidential candidates (Trump / Harris) falsely promised a strong economy when today’s U.S. government’s federal budget totals and corporate financial statements are political, and inaccurate. That information is divided in the following 3 sections:

  • (I) How both parties’ 7 Presidents & Congress gained control of the executive branch 
  • (II) How both parties created today’s still hidden financial and economic threats to the U.S. government
  • (III How 47 whistleblowers exposed the lawless acts of 7 Presidents and Congress

Section I explains how both parties used Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act’s division of the U.S. Civil Service Commission’s duties between 4 executive branch offices to give the public appearance of protecting whistleblowers when its true intent was to permanently eliminate them. Section II explains how the fed’s replacement of its college degreed accountants with politically loyal non-accountants has imperiled the U.S. government’s financial and economic security because today’s federal budget and corporate financial statement totals are political, and inaccurate. Section III includes 47 named civil servant and contractor whistleblower stories to record how both parties have politicized 27 departments, bureaus, and agencies, undermined every facet of the American people’s lives, and with their own wasted tax dollars.

(I) How both parties’ 7 Presidents & Congress gained control of the executive branch
A Vanderbilt political science professor, David E. Lewis’ book, “the Politics of Presidential Appointments” promoted the U.S. government’s myth that civil servants were lazy, inept, and overpaid in the early 1970’s when the exact opposite was true, per Ernie Fitzgerald. The real truth, also validated by this website’s civil servant whistleblowers, is that the combination of Congress’ prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & USCSC included an unending supply of technically qualifed civil servats (all potential whistleblowers). Both parties only option to permanently end that supply of whistleblowers was for Congress to pass its unnecessary 1978 CSRA, divide the USCSC’s duties between 4 executive branch offices, and then decimate those offices, illegally, and unconstitutionally, as discussed earlier in this website’s Home page. Also, per Professor Lewis’ book, he discussed how Congress’ 1978 CSRA increased each President’s 1 level of loyal political appointes to 3 additonal levels of politically loyal civil servants: GS-15, Senior Executive Service (SES), and Schedule C.

Now, with each President’s 4 levels of loyal political appointees,  both civil servant and contractor whistleblowers had 2 painful decisions to make. Rubberstamp both parties’ deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing scam and you were richly rewarded for breaking the law, undermining the U.S. Constitution, and selling out the American people. Or, attempt to expose that federal scam and you were retaliated against, demoted, and/or fired while enduring untold varieties of emotional abuse. While the Democrat’s hypocritical politicians rightfully warned the American people about the internal threats that the Republican’s wannabe dictator (Donald Trump) posed to their democracy, they conveniently forgot to warn those same citizens about those same internal threats that their 2 “closet dictators,” (Hillary Clinton / Barack Obama), had also posed to the American people’s U.S. government, per the next paragraph. 

In 2011, a retired 71 year-old CIA analyst, Ray McGovern, stood back faced to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to protest her lies, and was carried off in handcuffs while she discussed the need for authoritarian governments to be more tolerant of dissent. In 2014, 74 year-old Ray McGovern was prevented from attending a General David Petraeus speech, even though he had paid $45 to attend that event, because President Barack Obama had labeled him as a dissident, carried off in handcuffs (again) while he rightfully claimed that the Bill of Rights gave him the right to dissent. If there are still any doubts that the U.S. government no longer qualifies as a democracy, then look at Congress’ March 2022 “new” dictatorial law that confirms the accuracy of Mr. McGovern’s rightful outrage about his Bill of Rights violations, when they no longer exist!

This same federal undemocratic deregulation, privatizing, outsourcing cancer has now spread and infected all 50 state governments, as well. A prime example includes North Carolina’s former Governor Pat McCroy who copycatted the fed’s privatizing and outsourcing federal scam to allow him, a politician, to change a formerly protected non-political position to political. Then, he fired Joe Vincoli, a North Carolina civil servant for political reasons, and for rightfully questioning Governor McCrory’s lawless acts. At the state’s financial and economic level, Governor McCrory and the other 49 Governors continue to hide how they spend all 50 state’s citizens tax dollars, per Bill Gates with his following statement, “The Guys at Enron Would Never Have Done This!” 

(II) How both parties created today’s still-hidden financial & economic threats to the U.S. government
The above accountant whistleblower, then as the Veteran Administration’s (VA) Accounting Section Chief (1980 – 1986), questioned the VA’s required use of a politically driven American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) accounting standard, that was not based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and that resulted in the VA overspending its budget. This was a big deal because if the VA’s budget totals were inaccurate, so too were the fed’s other department, bureau, and agency budget totals, and an even bigger problem! The President’s and Congress’ annual federal budget totals were also inaccurate because they were based upon those inaccurate VA and federal-wide inaccurate department, bureau, and agency budget totals. In October 1986, the VA overspent its budget and he was told to make the adjustments to hide that deficiency. He refused, resigned from the federal government, and his required written reason for resigning “falsification of the VA’s budget totals” was falsified by the President’s 4 levels of loyal (non-accountant) political appointees by changing his personnel records to “disagreements over systems improvement ideas.” 

During this same timeframe, that accountant whistleblower addressed his internal financial and economic threat concerns by creating a GAAP-based model and a GAAP-based book to replace the fed’s AICPA’s politically-controlled/non-GAAP based model, and that began as far back as the AICPA’s 1887 inception. In early 1987, he used his book to lobby Congress and the Central Agencies (Treasury, OMB, GAO) over the need for GAAP-based reform. He also spoke to Rep. Joe DioGuardi (Certified Public Accountant) about his concern and why federal accountants, not Congress, not the President, and not their AICPA cronies should be determining the U.S. government’s accounting standard. On October 13, 1987, Treasury created its Financial Management Services (FMS) branch of 9 qualified civil servants (8 accountants with their college accounting degrees and 1 IT civil servant) to critique his book, fix any GAAP-based errors that he may have made, and create the GAAP-based software to generate accurate federal budget totals. Instead, that effort turned out to be a scam because those FMS civil servants were required to test 2 non-GAAP-based software packages, by American Management Systems (AMS) and Computer Data Systems Inc. (CDSI) to continue hiding how each President spent each federal budget, all over again! 

In March 1990, that accountant whistleblower obtained a government service (GS-14) position with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an Accounting and Systems Branch Chief. In October 1990, he learned that his discussion with Rep. DioGuardi was a waste of time because he (the author of Congress’ 1990 Chief Financial Officer Act) had instead created an AICPA-controlled FASAB (Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board) that now legally (?) forced an AICPA’s contractor’s deficient accounting standard on federal accountants. During the last 20 years (1990 – 2010) of his career at EPA, he made every effort to expose these hidden internal financial & economic threats to the U.S. government that included but a few of the following: the dumbing down of the fiscal sector, fake financial statements, useless AMS software, useless KPMG auditing services, EPA’s and the Comptroller General’s lawless acts. 

In September 2010, President Barack Obama’s political appointees declared that accountant whistleblower’s freedom of information act (FOIA) request secret/confidential business information for a very good reason. It implicated Presdent Obama and his predessor Presidents in replacing college accounting degreed accountants with politically loyal non-accountants and 4 financial sector contractor (FSC) types [AICPA accounting (Price Waterhouse Coopers), AICPA auditing, information technology (AMS / CDSI), and management firms, as recorded in the above paragraph]. Now, the American people were paying 4 FSC types $10 billion annually to still hide how President’s Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and all future Presidents spend their $6+ trillion federal budget, and conveniently with no money (audit) trails! The accuracy of this statement is confirmed in this website and GAO’s own March 2021 testimony,​ per GAO’s inability to certify the accuracy of the last 24 (1997 – 2024) federal budget totals, as legally required (starting in 1997), per Congress’ above noted 1990 CFO Act, also now labeled as the U.S. government’s consolidated financial statements (CFSs) 

In December 2010, that account whistleblower retired as a GS-4 data entry clerk, but still at his GS-14 annual salary of $130,000. In 2012, a Forbes magazine article, “Is the SEC’s Ponzi Crusade Enabling Companies To Cook The Books, Enron-Style?” describes how those weakened fiscal sector infrastructures led to the SEC’s (now also) unqualified accountant’s and auditor’s inability to audit the accuracy of the SECs corporate financial statements. This was also in violation of Congress’ 2002 Sarbanes Oxley Act, and its ever growing lists of its other meaningless and lawless laws. The 2 below whistleblower books further highlight the need to provide an accurate accounting of how the American people’s tax dollars are spent, and especially the military: 

  • “Challenger Revealed,” by NASA whistleblower Richard Cook, details how President Ronald Reagan misappropriated the American people’s tax dollars and deceived them into thinking that Challenger was used for peaceful and exploratory purposes when it was instead used for military use.  
  • “The BU$H Agenda, Invading the World One Economy At a Time,” by an expert in international trade and finance (Antonia Juhasz), details how both Bush’s misappropriated the American people’s tax dollars by using those same deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing scams to replace 13 government’s civil servants with America’s corporate executives and contractors to collapse those governments:
    • Those 13 citizen governments include Ecuador (2003), Hong Kong (2005), India (2000), Indonesia (1998), Iraq, Jordan (1996), Nigeria (1989), Paraguay (2000), Russia (1998), South Africa, Thailand (2001), Yemen (2005), Zambia (1999).

This is also a wakeup call for Americans and all citizen’s worldwide to work together because the same strategies that America’s blatantly corrupt and greedy politicians used to collapse those 13 governments, they have now used to create those same same levels of pain and suffering on their own citizens, and with their own wasted $35+ trillion tax dollars! Those 13 corrupt richest 1%’s  government politicians also sold out their citizens by allowing America’s corrupt politicians to collapse their governments, by replacing their civil servants with both parties’ contractors, and that has already occurred within the U.S. government over the last 46 years. 

(III) How 47 whistleblowers exposed the lawless acts of 7 Presidents and Congress​
Democracies are only as good as the information their politicians provide to their citizens. For the first 189-years (1789 – 1978) of the American people’s 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 political appointees, 1 civil service reform whistleblower protection law, that both parties (then) respected. The end result was a 2.1 million technically qualified government service (GS) civil servant executive branch to ensure accurate information for each President, and a mere $789 billion debt total in 1978.

That was up until the last 7 Presidents (Reagan – Biden) used Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) to rescind its prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & USCSC. The accuracy of this statement is recorded in both parties’ blatant abuses of the law and U.S. Constitution, including 3 more of Congress’ ever growing list of their following lawless and meaningless laws:

  • 1791 1st Amendment’s Establishment Clause – create harmony among believers and non-believers, a constitutionally required separation between church and state, but then ignored 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. This is also why these richest 1% must now be held legally and financially accountable for the unending levels of pain and suffering they have inflicted upon the American people, so far at $35+ trillion, and still counting.

There is no better documentation that supports the need for Congress’ required 3rd civil service reform than to make public the 47 named below whistleblower short stories that record how the last 7 Presidents politicized 27 departments, bureaus, agencies. Also, please note that the below numbered 27 items are divided into 3 sections: (A) Financial & Economic Sector, (B) National Security Sector, and (C) Other Sectors. Also, to highlight those 7 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 own March 2021 testimony. 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 auditor 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 2024 Enron-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 deceive 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 its inability to ensure the accuracy of EPA’s OMB Circular A-123 reviews, to record how this federal manager and contractor scam works. 

(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 roughed-up and 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 then 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 eliminated them in the following ways:

  • (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. In addition to the $34+ trillion dollar debt spike that both parties and their corporate cronies created (and then covered-up), why shouldn’t they also be held legally, financially, and criminally accountable for the also unnecessary deaths of their citizens? 

​(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.
