  1. KPMG whistleblower who tried to expose alleged ‘systemic misconduct’ shows why so few people report

    It takes a certain kind of inner strength to be a whistleblower. Courage and determination are obvious traits…

  2. Subject: Follow-up to Blue Shield Executive Inquiries
    For: Readers interested in HMOs
    Short link: https://dansu.org/blueshield-260902

    On August 31, 2026, I emailed Blue Shield Executive Inquiries about the fact that a medical matter that should have taken 5 days has taken 5 months instead.

    My adopted son Harold, presently on a business trip in Germany, read the August 31, 2026 post. He said, “always the warrior”. That is polite, at least. In #whistleblower litigation from 2022 to 2024, Opposing Counsel Christine Long commented, on the fact I stand up to corporations, that I’m a “vigilante”.

    Note: I won that case. There was a defamation suit afterward that had been filed by a dead oligarch and crime lord, Henry Khachaturian. Christine dropped the defamation suit abruptly and wouldn’t even take a settlement. It seemed odd. Excuse the need for details but, if people are reading me now, I should explain things.

    My response to both Harold and Christine, friendly and unfriendly, is, excuse me, but is somebody supposed to just give up and let corporations walk all over others [not just one’s self] ? Let them smash up lives or cause deaths?

    Today, Blue Shield responded, politely enough. I think that all three of the organizations involved might be more responsive now that I’m going public.

    Note: The three organizations are Blue Shield, #HPMG aka Hill Physicians Medical Group, and #SuperCare [a DME vendor].

    The PDF linked below is my letter today to Blue Shield Executive Inquiries [followed by the letter from Executive Inquiries that it’s responding to]:

    https://dansu.org/images/about/260902-blue-shield.pdf

    I’d like to be clear that Blue Shield is much better than Kaiser. Blue Shield staff tries to do the right thing. #SuperCare is much better than #Apria [a different and quite murderous #DME vendor] as well.

    However, standards are relative. Most people are aware that #Kaiser and #Apria are patient death machines. It isn’t a high bar to do better than those two organizations.

  4. #Whistleblower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying Court Orders on #VotingByMail

    A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the U.S. Postal Service could imperil millions of mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

    Chris Cameron
    By Chris Cameron
    Reporting from Washington
    Sept. 1, 2026

    Excerpt: "A U.S. Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a 'secretive, rushed' effort to carry out President Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans.

    "The official filed a whistle-blower report, published on Tuesday morning by the office of Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, asserting that the 'risky and haphazard' implementation of Mr. Trump’s order could lead to a 'catastrophic failure' in the mail ballot system ahead of this year’s #MidtermElections. The report said that the agency had planned to complete the new digital system overseeing mail ballots by Sept. 1.

    " 'Potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all,' the official said in the report, which was prepared with the assistance of #WhistleblowerAid, a nonprofit group that represents people seeking to expose potential lawbreaking.

    Speaking to reporters by phone on Monday, Mr. Blumenthal said of the report that 'the main takeaway for me is that the Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans. One-third of all Americans cast their ballots by mail, and the #USPS puts all of their votes at risk.'

    "A Postal Service official declined to comment on the record."

    Thank you. As a #whistleblower , hounded by the powers-that-be, I have found the #WaybackMachine very useful, for retrieving my subversive writings from the past, some of which have ceased to exist where I hosted them.

    Is there a way I can publish an article on my blog, and then immediately request for the content to be crawled, and a snapshot to be archived?

  7. @failedLyndonLaRouchite

    Just what I read in the news. In this day and age, with different news sources putting different spins on the facts, telling half-truths, and with the media flooded with AI-generated fake news, who knows what the truth is?

    I do know about my firsthand experience as a #whistleblower under #Biden and #Trump, for sure.

  8. Cognitive Dissidence
    =================

    Obama sold us #Obamacare and #healthcare went from complicated & expensive, to complicated, expensive, & mandatory.

    Government subsidies ended.
    Net result: healthcare is worse than before.

    There were some benefits to Obamacare, or it would not have passed at all. Some people benefited, though for most others it made #healthcare worse.

    People: "We want #UniversalHealthCoverage ! healthcare is too expensive."

    Obama: "I will ensure that everyone has healthcare."

    People: "Hooray! Obama cares."

    Obama: "Now everyone is REQUIRED to have health insurance."

    People: "And the government will pay for it, right?"

    Obama: "..."

    People: "... right?"

    Obama: "No, but your preexisting conditions will be covered."

    People: "Yay!!!"

    Obamacare subsidies were set to expire, in his plan. Obama handed his opponents a ticking time bomb before leaving office.

    Trump just didn't renew this crock of a plan, because he is too busy doing other evil shit.

    Trump is a daylight robber.
    Obama was a midnight thief.
    Poor people got clobbered,
    electing either, as chief.

    Mandatory health insurance means more money for the "healthcare industry".

    Remember the 2008 market crash that wiped out millions of Americans out of their retirement savings and 401-K? There was corruption behind the scenes, and big insiders made money. It was Obama who stopped that investigation, and it was sneakily moved out of the news cycle.

    He fooled the masses with charm and attraction.
    Propaganda is a weapon of mass distraction.

    Watch what he do.
    Ignore what he say.
    Connect the dots
    and follow de monay!

    I used to laugh at the people who said, "Both sides are the same."

    In 2023, I was a programmer with federal clearance, working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor ( #GrayDigital ), when I called out corruption & became a government #whistleblower

    I have been #homeless since 2023, hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, & buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), faced #police brutality, spent 6 nights in jail. The last arrest was extrajudicial, and I was not even brought before a judge after spending a night in jail, just told to go away.

    I slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. I was denied public defense in #courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges were dropped. It was whistleblower intimidation. I had committed no crimes. I was assaulted in the streets by the security guard of a #Catholic charity. I have eaten out of garbage cans, & several times, gone hungry for 2-3 days at a time.

    In December 2025, I moved to #Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here. I'm homeless and hungry here as well, probably because the #Japanese government is reluctant to grant me #political #asylum.

    Every #Refugee Assistance Organization I contacted in Tokyo has turned me away.

    I am a #whistleblower and have lost access to computing resources for the time being.

    I have this code repository, almost ready. It forms the basis of a True Democracy. Basically, voters get to collectively make up the government’s budget. Government departments have to work within the budgets set by the people.

    Could someone please clone, tweak, and deploy it to a public website?

    This is a topical solution that will fix many issues we face today.

    TITLE: Whistleblower Alleges White House Improperly Targeted Top Universities

    Source: CBS News - U.S. News

    The Trump administration pressured career civil rights attorneys to investigate allegations of antisemitism at the university campuses of Harvard, Columbia, and Brown even though there was no factual or legal basis to do so, according to a former Justice Department attorney. Veteran civil rights lawyer Haley Van Erem made this allegation as part of a whistleblower complaint made public on Tuesday by Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin.

    Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.

    Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.

    After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.

    Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.

    Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?

    folkhawaii.com/about-us/

    Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.

    In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.

    250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
    Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.

    Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.

    Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,

    1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.

    Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
    King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."

    youtu.be/j8DxdibHibU

    Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).

    All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).

    Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.

    Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.

    In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
    ( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )

    Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

  27. CW: Nur noch 7 Tage online in der Arte-Mediathek: Steven Spielbergs vielleicht bester Film – auch als OmU: Die Verlegerin (The Post)

    Washington, 1971: Die Verlegerin Katharine und ihr Chefredakteur Ben stehen vor einer historischen Entscheidung. Als der "Washington Post" geheime Pentagon-Papiere zugespielt werden, riskieren sie alles, um die Wahrheit ans Licht zu bringen. – Steven Spielbergs Drama (2017) feiert Katharine Grahams Kampf als erste Frau an der Spitze eines Medienimperiums. Mit Meryl Streep und Tom Hanks.

    1971, US-Hauptstadt Washington: Katharine "Kay" Graham kämpft im Vorstand der "Washington Post" um den Respekt ihrer männlichen Kollegen. Seit sie nach dem Tod ihres Mannes widerwillig die Leitung des Medienimperiums übernommen hat, ringt sie in Sitzungen mit stockender Stimme um Autorität – besonders jetzt, da der Börsengang der Zeitung ansteht.
    Doch dann landet ein explosives Dokument auf dem Schreibtisch von Chefredakteur Ben Bradlee: die Pentagon-Papiere, geleakt vom Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg. Die 7.000 Seiten enthüllen, dass vier US-Präsidenten – darunter der amtierende Richard Nixon – die Öffentlichkeit über den Vietnamkrieg belogen haben. Die "New York Times" hat bereits Teile veröffentlicht und ist nun durch eine einstweilige Verfügung zum Schweigen verurteilt.
    Bradlee drängt Graham, die restlichen Dokumente zu drucken – ein riskanter Schritt: Die Veröffentlichung von Staatsgeheimnissen könnte nicht nur den Börsengang platzen lassen, sondern Graham, Bradlee und das gesamte Team wegen Hochverrats ins Gefängnis bringen ...

    Steven Spielberg inszeniert die wahren Ereignisse mit dokumentarischer Präzision und emotionaler Wucht. Meryl Streep verleiht Graham, die zur entschlossenen Führungsfigur wächst, eine zerbrechliche Stärke, während Tom Hanks als Bradlee den unbändigen Geist des Journalismus verkörpert. Janusz Kamińskis Kamera fängt die Machtkulissen Washingtons in warmen Holz- und kühlen Blautönen ein, begleitet von John Williams’ orchestral-elektronischer Filmmusik. Der Film, der 2017 – in Zeiten neuer Medienkriege – zwei Oscarnominierungen erhielt, ist eine kraftvolle Hommage an den Mut der „vierten Gewalt".
