This website’s Home page includes 47 named whistleblowers within 27 departments, bureaus, and agencies, who were retaliated against, demoted, and/or fired for rightfully questioning both parties’ lucrative deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing policies that changed a democracy from America’s 99% into today’s lawless U.S, government that is currently controlled by its richest 1%’s politicians, lobbyists, contractors, and their media moguls.   

Recall from this website’s blog page that the downard spiral of the American peopl’s democracy included the lawless acts of both parties, a newly reelected President Donald Trump, 7 prior Presidents (Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden), 24 Congresses (95 – 119), and a U.S. Supreme Court (that gave immunity to all living Presidents who made a mockery of the law). The total cost of both parties’ lawless acts includes a 47 year (1978 – 2025), $36+ trillion debt spike, that went from a 1978/$772 billion low to its current $36.7+ trillion total, and still no end in sight because both  parties’ politicians are still blaming each other for a debt problem they jointly created!  

Recall also from this website’s Blog page, that Congress had no credible excuse for passing its 1978 Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) because its prior 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act & U.S. Civil Service Commission (USCSC) had protected the American people’s democracy with that paltry $772 billion debt total, over the first 189 years (1789 – 1978) of the U.S. government’s operation. Despite that fact, Congress passed its unnecessary 1978 CSRA solely for political reasons to prevent the humilating resignation of another corrupt President, like President Richard Nixon in 1974, and that had occurred as a result of 2 whistleblowers. In 1969, an Air Force civil servant whistleblower, Ernie Fitzgerald, exposed how President Nixon had defrauded America’s tax payers out of $2.3 billion, was fired, and won that case only because the USCSC was not under the executive branch, and President Nixon’s ability to have him fired. In 1972, Daniel Ellsberg, exposed President Nixon’s other lawless acts (Pentagon Papers), and Nixon’s 1974 resignation.

Congress’ 1978 CSRA lawless law addressed that political oversight in 2 ways, by: (1) increasing the last 8 (and all future) President’s levels of loyal political appointees from 1 level (1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act) to 4 (or more) levels, and (2) dividing the USCSC’s duties between 4 executive branch offices (that legally protected whistleblowers) but with a more nefarious and undemocratic intent! That was to destroy all 4 offices to permanently eliminate their (Fitzgerald / Ellsberg) whistleblower problem, disqualify the U.S. government as a democracy, eliminate all checks and balances, both parties’ gross violations of their oaths of office, and their also self-inflicted $36+ trillion debt problem, as follows:

    • (b) Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) – Congress defunded its own MSPB and then looked the other way while those later Presidents the 2 remaining below executive branch offices

Then, over the last 47 years, both parties’ politicians not only destroyed the executive branch but 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 cherry picked the truth to cover-up their joint lawless acts, a few of which include Jeff Bezos, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and Wall Street Journal, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. 

  • Legislative Branch – (1) Congress’ last 24 (95 – 119) Senate and House of Rep. leaders  destroyed the American people’s democracy, and (2) their lobbyists played key roles in this 47-year-old undemocratic travesty by writing lawless and meaningless laws, solely to enrich the richest 1%, and the hell with America’s 99%.
  • Executive Branch – An executive branch that consists of the following groups that implement Congress’ lawless and meaningless laws: (3) the last 8 Presidents and Vice Presidents, (4) their 4 (or more) 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 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, Biden, and Trump, again) to instead add another $26+ trillion in debt, to the 46 year/$36+ trillion debt spike (plunder total), (7) 2.2 million politically loyal (often unqualified), beholden civil servants who now rubber stamp the U.S. government’s procurement of valueless and harmful corporate goods and services, and both parties’ self-inflicted $36+ trillion debt problem 
  • Judicial Branch(8) A U.S. Supreme Court that was MIA: (a) when it gave immunity to all current and former Presidents, (b) with its Citizens United decision that placed corporate interests above those of the American people (c) allowed George W. Bush to violate the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Establishment Clause) when he supposedly found God. (d) allowed 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 is not unlike Putin’s Russian dictatorship. The only difference is that Putin united Russians behind his lies and murdered all dissenters whereas America’s richest 1%’s media moguls used their liberal and conservative political analysts to divide the American people, and to distract them from demanding Congress’ 3rd civil service reform. 

The sole intent for creating America’s Bottoms Up Democratic Business Model website is to: (1) Record how America’s richest 1%’s Republican and Democrat politicians have made a mockery of the law and the Constitution, not just at the federal level but at all levels, including the state (and local) levels, also discussed below. (2) Support the American people’s demands for Congress’ required 3rd civil service reform to create a more bottoms up democratic form of government  where citizens and voters now have real time access to the same levels of information as their politicians, and this time accurate federal budget totals. The below 2 sections provide additional background information that more than supports the American people’s demands for Congress’ 3rd civil service reform: 

  • (I) How this same federal cancer has infected America’s state governments 
  • (II) How 47 whistleblowers exposed the lawless acts of 8 Presidents and Congress

Section I Illustrates how North Carolina’s former Governor Pat McCrory copycatted the U.S. government’s deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing scam to now place him (a politician) in the business of mismanaging North Carolina’s citizen’s tax dollars. Section II 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 this same federal cancer has not infected America’s state governments 
This same federal deregulation, privatizing, outsourcing cancer has now spread and infected all 50 state governments. A prime example includes North Carolina’s (NC) former Governor Pat McCroy who 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, he (the Governor) 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 47 whistleblowers exposed the lawless acts of 8 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 technically qualified government service (GS) civil servant executive branch to ensure accurate information for each President, and a paltry $772 billion debt total in 1978. 

Then, the last 8 Presidents (Reagan – Trump) 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.
  • 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.

  • Bill of Rights – the 1st 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the most basic precepts upon which our Forefather’s and the American people’s democracy was based, and a now long distant memory. 
    • Today, America’s 8th President (Donald Trump) now retaliates against anyone who questions his actions, as did 2 prior top Democrats, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and still under both parties’ bogus claims of the American people’s democracy! 

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 87 Presidents politicized 27 departments, bureaus, and 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 8 rogue 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 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 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 politicized (destroyed) all 4 offices 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 $35+ 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 climate change disasters and the unending levels of pain and suffering all 46 years of America’s politicians have inflicted on 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. 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.
