The Link

Here is the link for the story about Hillary and her closet cleaning. It was from People magazine -- March 23, 2011.

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20475554,00.html

I just finished reading Partners in Power: the Clintons and Their America by Roger Morris. It is a very well written book -- but depressing. It is just sad that we seem to get suckered into electing people who have such pitiful moral standing. Democrat or Republican there is very little difference. They are all bought and paid for by the moneyed elite. Bill Clinton is a sex maniac. Hillary is something of a self-deceived crook.

My own sad experience with Secretary Clinton is caught up in plausible deniability. Why would the Secretary of State concern herself with a glassware contract? Why indeed? That is a good question. Maybe someone could ask her. I am sure it will not be me. So I will just have to tell my side of the story.

This is where the long seedy record of mischief making by Hillary makes it hard to get any traction. If she can get away with everything she has gotten away with so far, why not this? Indeed why not?

Hillary thought that she could kick me to the curb without giving me another thought. But I am not gone because I was told that I would be protected as a whistleblower. I read it on the Office of Special Counsel website. Don't say it if it isn't true.

I just have one question for Hillary, the champion of women and children. Aint I a woman?

Hillary's Closet Cleaning

Last March we learned that Hillary Clinton will not be staying on at State if Barack Obama is re-elected. When asked what she would do instead she said she would sleep and clean her closets. I am not making this up. I will cite the article presently.

To the attuned observer the question then was, what could this possible mean? We know that Hillary has a lot of skeletons in her closet. I am hoping mine will remain outside of it. My thought was that Hillary was not believable. I questioned those with an opinion and learned that most did not believed that she would try to run against Barack Obama. I later learned that perhaps she would be put in charge of the World Bank. OMG! It is true that the World Bank is run to benefit the rich and powerful and that is clearly what Hillary is about too. But could this possibly be true?

Then I heard that Hillary might -- just might -- want to run for president of these United States of America, a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations. Obama is bought and paid for by them, but he is getting a lot of people upset as they realize his callow hypocrisy. Hillary probably thinks her hypocrisy will be less transparent.

The petty crimes that I has a brush with in the Obama administration have to be laid at the feet of Hillary Clinton. Although I welcome her departure from the Department of State, I would HOPE that she will never become president. It seems to me that she does not have an honest bone in her body. I will try to organize my thoughts presently to tell how it is that I believe that my humble little program that should have been of no interest to her fell prey to Hillary and I became collateral damage.

Senate Panel Questions Whether $3.1 Billion in 'Drug War' Contracts Were Worthwhile


Mr. Peacock, I would like to know where you got the information about the glassware contract solicitation / award that you provided 4/11/2011. If you are interested, I have tales to tell. I am not sure how to contact you. You can reach me at dorie.southern@gmail.com

Plausible deniability

I do not own a tinfoil hat. I am not sure what one is or why one would want to own one. But I can tell you that there is such a thing as conspiracies and plausible deniability. In a nutshell plausible deniability means that there is no paper trail. Therefore, there is no way to prove that what you say happened happened. On the other hand there are lots of reasons why what you say happened did not happen. If you are a government employee, there are certain things that you learn, certain things that you know due to your work, and certain things that you pick up on the street. Some may be true, some may be partly true and partly false, and some of it might be wrong altogether. But most likely you are not in a position to investigate and prove something one way or another. Therefore, any hypothesis that you put forth becomes a conspiracy theory and you are thought to be the owner of a tinfoil hat. This becomes inevitable if you cannot find a political link that makes the so-called opposition parties oppose each other. Instead, it becomes a bipartisan cover-up.

As yet, I have not found any traction from anyone wanting to know why my situation transpired the way that it did. As a novice whistleblower, I did not understand any of this. I am learning as I go. Since I lost my job to whistleblowing there is nothing to stop me from goading the people responsible for what happened. Meanwhile, they are trying desperately to pretend I don't exist, with some success I might add.

Whistleblowing in the government

If you are a government employee, you may be informed that there is protection for whistleblowers provided by the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), which is a quasi government agency intended to enforce certain OPM rules. Although protection for whistleblowers is one of the stated reasons for the existence of the OSC, its actual record protecting whistleblowers is horrible. The number of whistleblowers it has protected is minuscule. Satistics will have to be provided later.

Generally what it does is conclude that evidence was not provided to "prove" that one has experienced reprisal as a whistleblower. For example, one might report waste, fraud, or abuse or some combination thereof to the agency Office of the Inspector General. That, my friend, is a black-hole from which your report will not return. You supervisor will learned through sources and methods that you have gone to the OIG. You will then find that all sorts of untoward things will happen -- like your performance will need improvement or your duties will be stripped from you or you will be sent off on a detail.

As someone who experienced the detail thing, let me tell you that it will not be because the OIG is investigating and trying to protect you while doing so. No, the reason will be because the office you work for is busy on the fraud that you have reported and finds you a pesky problem.

Various things will happen depending on the agency you work for and the crimes that you have unexpectedly stumbled upon. As a government employee you will find preciously little protection. If you have the misfortune of being a third-party contractor, you are toast. Suddenly in the middle of the project that you are working on you are no longer needed.

Congress has passed a Whistleblower Protection Act. It is supposed to protect almost all Whistleblowers. But what I can't understand is -- if whistleblowers are protected, why was I forced out of my job at the Department of State for blowing the whistle? Something just does not add up.

This is just the first installment in a very long and complex story of waste, fraud, and abuse that goes from the top to the bottom. Hillary Clinton being at the top in this story and me being at the bottom.
