**The devastating effects of
gross systematic corporate corruption on American society & citizen/workers
today**
There
is a devastating problem stripping our great American workers of their civil
and basic human rights, their freedom, liberty, and right to justice under the
law, and their very honor and dignity across our nation today. Our country, our
people, our great American brothers and sisters across this nation are
suffering more and more lately from the catastrophic demoralizing effects of
complete and thorough massive, gross, systematic corporate corruption on our
American culture, society, workplace, life and liberty today.
Prior to my recent very in depth personal tragic experience with
this problem I had a naïve patriotic faith and trust in our government for the
people. I had turned my life around from years of alcoholism and self-abuse and
dedicated myself to doing the right thing, helping and encouraging others, and
being a positive effect on my surroundings and those around me, such as at the
workplace of the corporation where I had invested the last 10 good prime sober
working years of my life. Everything was going fine, until one day at work when
I heard a woman’s hysterical crying coming from across the store and responded
to find that the new manager was abusively bullying a handicapped female
colleague. As bad as that was I was even more disturbed to find that all of the
many other visibly shaken employees who had also witnessed and heard this were
afraid to report it. Feeling that I had a natural human responsibility to
speak-up for my fellow colleague, especially a mentally handicapped female who
was not so likely or able to speak-up for herself, I reported the abuse to
upper management, and after that things were never the same for me again. The
manager began complaining to me about reporting him, harassing and physically
threatening me, and then wrongfully and illegally fired me. The NLRB put a
charge on them for illegally firing me for engaging in concerted protected
activity and I was then reinstated in exchange dropping the charge. Upon
returning to work I was continually plotted, schemed, and retaliated on in many
ways and wrongfully fired twice more. It would take 100 pages to explain the
grueling legal battle and everything that went on from there, but in very brief
summary let me just say that despite absolute documented proof of numerous
civil and labor violations, and even police eyewitness statement of serious
federal crimes the corporation committed against me and the courts in
submitting falsified documents and outright lies to federal investigators, my
case was continually dismissed by what can only be described as blatant
complete gross corporate corruption of our judicial system and government so
flagrantly obvious and extremely disconcerting that before it was all over I
was receiving calls from DC government officials who had recognized my
struggle and tried, but were unable to help me calling to express their
own displeasure about what was going on in our government and apologize for the
terrible injustice I was suffering due to what they called "such a flawed
system". Even after one of the highest officials involved in my case was
busted and written-up by the OIG for his illegal activity in directing his
staff to help the very same company my case was against avoid charges while
himself owning considerable stock in the company, I was still denied
reconsideration and the corrupt official of course went unpunished. What is
going on here? The unimaginable ramifications of such a system where our most
average great American citizen/workers must live and work in such a paralyzing state
of fear and total distrust of their employer and government that they will
watch and listen to the corporate manager’s abusive bullying and hysterical
crying of a handicapped female colleague and be too afraid to speak-up, knowing
that what happened to me will happen to them are absolutely unthinkable.
The home of the free and the brave, with liberty and justice for all?
The truth is our most average great American citizen/workers today have
no civil rights, no basic inherent human rights, and no hope or chance for
justice under the law in America today, and no recourse against illegal abuse
and mistreatment in the workplace, and we have no way of knowing or having any
real statistics on what types of illegal mistreatment and abuses our workers
are being subjected to, because due to the catastrophic and devastating effects
of massive gross systematic corporate corruption on our American culture,
society, workplace, life and liberty today, they are afraid to tell us, report
anything, or speak up, knowing they will be the ones to be persecuted if they
dare to do the right thing.
I love my people, my great American brothers and sisters of every,
race, color, origin, and orientation across this land, but my patriotic faith
and belief in my government for the people is understandably gone.
There is nothing to be proud of about a government that throws it's
people, it's most average American citizen/workers today, under the bus, in
favor of evil, greedy corporate interests and corruption.. God bless America.
