A TALE OF TWO WHISTLE-BLOWERS:
One ended in death. One ended in a minor victory
Both suffered unspeakable hell ordered by top elected officials.
Is this what we pay our elected officials to do to us?
Walter Tamosaitis was emotionally and economically tortured, by government officials and those who pay bribes to government officials. His Crime: Going to the authorities about public corruption he witnessed .
Gary D. Conley was found dead. He had a bullet in his head. He, also, was emotionally and economically tortured, by government officials and those who pay bribes to government officials. e was found behind Beale Air Force Base in Northern California. His Crime: Going to the authorities about public corruption he witnessed.
Both paid the price for doing what every red-blooded American is raised to do: The Right Thing!
They are not alone;
Rajeev Motwani was in perfect health. He was found floating face-down in his Silicon Valley Swimming Pool. His Crime: Going to the authorities about public corruption he witnessed .
Edward Snowden is said to have 12 death warrants issued on his head. His Crime: Going to the authorities about public corruption he witnessed .
Yesterday a shooting took place involving another whistle-blower who had fought against attacks on him for 16 years, after he reported corruption.
Body, after body is piling up.
Destroyed life, after destroyed life, devastated by elected officials, and their campaign billionaires, are stacking the pile, ever higher.
One reads, with horror of Brazilian and Korean secret police squads that pull people out of their homes, at night, and haul them off the fields to be tortured and killed. The treatment of American’s, who report crimes, is no different. It is just slower and more subtle.
How can the average citizen trust a government where the President, Attorney General and Senior White House staff order hit-jobs on them? Is it any wonder that public approval of the Washington, DC has dropped to the lowest level in Recorded History?
How can the government recover its prestige?
Simple: Make heroes out of those who report crimes, and stop turning them into attack targets.
Let’s look at a few cases:

Nuclear-waste plant whistleblower wins settlement of $4.1 million
He says he was fired for expressing worries about a plan to turn radioactive sludge into glass.

When Walter Tamosaitis warned in 2011 that the Energy Department’s plans for a waste treatment plant at the former Hanford nuclear weapons complex were unsafe, he was demoted and put in a basement room with cardboard boxes and plywood for office furniture.
Tamosaitis had been leading a team of 100 scientists and engineers in designing a way to immobilize millions of gallons of highly toxic nuclear sludge as thick as peanut butter. The sludge, which could deliver a lethal dose of radiation to a nearby person within minutes, is stored in leaking underground tanks near the Columbia River in Washington state.

Two years later, Tamosaitis was fired after 44 years with San Francisco-based engineering firm URS, which was later acquired by Los Angeles-based AECOM. He filed a wrongful termination suit but encountered some initial legal setbacks, and it looked as if he had been blackballed from the industry.
But on Wednesday, Tamosaitis won a $4.1 million settlement from AECOM, among the largest known legal damages paid out to a whistleblower in the Energy Department’s vast nuclear waste cleanup program.
“It was something I lived with every minute of every day over the last five years,” Tamosaitis, 68, said in an interview. “Hopefully, I have sent a message to young engineers to keep their honesty, integrity and courage intact.”
AECOM spokesman Ed Mayer said the company reached its resolution with Tamosaitis “in order to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation relating to events that occurred over five years ago. The company strongly disagrees that it retaliated against him in any manner.”
Tamosaitis led the research into transforming the toxic and radioactive sludge into solid glass that could theoretically be buried safely for thousands of years. Over time, Tamosaitis said he began to worry that the technology for chemically mixing the sludge was flawed, potentially allowing explosive hydrogen gas to build up inside large tanks and clumps of plutonium to form that could start a spontaneous nuclear reaction.
His warnings, although disputed by his employer, were taken seriously by independent federal safety investigators and by senior Energy Department officials. Within months, department officials said the plant’s design and construction failed to meet federal safety standards.
In 2013, then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu ordered a halt to the construction of two massive processing facilities at Hanford: the pretreatment plant and the high-level vitrification plant that would turn the waste into glass. The suspension continues to this day amid doubts about whether the plants could operate as designed. So far, more than $13 billion has been spent on the project.

Save for later
A New Jersey congressman said on Saturday a man who shot dead a security guard at a federal building in Manhattan on Friday evening, before killing himself, was a whistleblower who had been given “a raw deal” by the agency that fired him.
Representative Bill Pascrell said several members of his staff worked with the gunman, Kevin Downing, to resolve his case. He said Downing never showed any violent tendencies, and said he had no idea why Downing acted as he did on Friday.
Law enforcement authorities said the 68-year-old opened fire at a federal building on Varick Street that houses an immigration court, a passport processing center and a regional office for the Labor Department, killing security guard Idrissa Camara. Authorities said Downing then walked towards an elevator where he encountered another employee, then shot himself in the head.
Camara worked for FJC Security Services, police said. He had been supposed to leave work at 4pm but had agreed to stay for an extra shift, his company said.
Downing was fired from his job at the New York City office of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1999.
A New Jersey newspaper, the Record, reported that in 2013, Pascrell wrote a letter to the Labor Department saying: “There is evidence to indicate Mr Downing’s termination was inappropriate because it was in retaliation for his communication with congressional staff regarding what he believed to be waste and abuse present in the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
After the shooting, federal agents swarmed Downing’s home in Fort Lee, New Jersey, searching for anything that could help them understand it.
“We’re in the very early stages of the investigation and are working to establish his motive for coming here, if he had an intended target beyond the security officer, and what the motive was behind the crime,” said James O’Neill, a chief with the New York police department.

There was no indication the shooting was terrorism-related, O’Neill said.
John Miller, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, said detectives were trying to piece together Downing’s work history.
Asked about the prospect Downing was a whistleblower, Miller told reporters: “That would go to potential motive. Part of the background we’re conducting now is, ‘What was his motive?”’
Miller said Downing had also collected Veterans Affairs benefits, but investigators were unsure which branch of the armed services he served in. A VA spokeswoman said the agency had offices in the building but did not immediately respond to questions about Downing’s military service.
The FBI was assisting in the investigation because Camara was working as a contractor for a federal agency, police said. Camara was armed but never had a chance to defend himself, the security company said.
“Camara ... was an extraordinary senior guard who was well trained, cared deeply about his job and knew that building better than anyone else,” said Michael McKeon, a spokesman for the security company.
Hector Figueroa, the president of Camara’s union, 32 BJ SEIU, said he was horrified by the news.
“Security officers around the city and country serve on the front line each and every day to keep us safe and secure,” Figueroa said.
“We are heartbroken that one of our own has fallen. We hope some of our questions in the face of this terrible tragedy will be answered. For now, we are keeping Camara’s family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.”
