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]:

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.

Whistleblower: USPS Defied A Court Injunction To Build An Untested, Undocumented Ballot-Blocking System. Its Own Staff Call The Process “A Shit Show.”

#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.

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."

Als Dramödie funktioniert dieser Film nur leidlich. Das Lachen, das befreien soll, bleibt mir nämlich oft im Halse stecken. Um so mehr, angesichts der (Wieder-)Vereidigung des 47. US-Präsidenten. Ein Land, das zweimal denselben Fehler macht, kann eigentlich nicht mehr darauf rechnen, dass ich das noch mit Humor nehme. Aber trotz alledem sehe ich mir das sehr gerne an. Weil es politisches Kino ist, das wir immer dringender brauchen. Auch um das Lachen darüber nicht zu vergessen! Mit Emilia Jones, Connie Britton und Zach Galifianakis. (ZDF, Wh.)

I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower

I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans

I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.

I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.

My whistleblower story is here:

https://whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.

I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.

I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.

Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.

The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.

When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.

This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:

https://rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-not-a-christian

The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.

The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.

I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.

The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.

It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption

Please boost this message.

Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

Maximum anonymity for #Activists, #Journalists, #Dissidents, and #Whistleblowers.

#SESSION (Loki Network/Decentralized)
Who uses it: Activists in Hong Kong, Belarus, Iran, and protest groups in the West. Why: If an activist is stopped, the police check the phone. In Session, there is no phone number, no address book, no logs of who spoke to whom. It is the best choice if the risk is having your device seized and trying to trace your network of contacts.

#SIMPLEX Who uses it: Whistleblowers, informants, crypto-anarchists. Why: It is the only app where a "user profile" truly doesn't exist on the server. If the server is seized, there is nothing to find. It is used when contact secrecy is vital more than ease of use.

#ShieldAlert: #AndSteiner, GenderDiverse #HumanRightsActivist, targeted for #PatientAdvocacy at #LemuelShattuck.

Urgent Update: #Whistleblower And Steiner Still in Danger Despite Recent Concessions

September 22, 2025: "#MindFreedomInternational (#MFI) is pleased to report that, in response to our previous Shield Alert update, Lemuel Shattuck Hospital has allowed And Steiner to see a covering provider of their choice and assured that And’s requests are being taken seriously. However, MFI remains concerned about And’s safety and well-being despite these concessions.

"As a reminder, And is a #Massachusetts (MA) Department of Mental Health (DMH) patient at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and whistleblower alleging criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts #DMH system, and has faced a pattern of retaliation including illegal #ForcedTransfer, assault, and harassment and denial of #DueProcess. A staff member has also warned that DMH plans to continue this targeting and harassment."

See link below to learn what you can do.

"Main talking points:

- And Steiner is a whistleblower who has reported alleged criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health system.
- And is currently under the care of those they are whistleblowing about.
- A staff member has warned an MFI volunteer of DMH’s intentions to target and harass And.
- And has faced retaliation, including illegal forced transfer, assault, verbal and sexual harassment, and denial of due process, including recent targeted discrimination and abuse by staff.
- Ivy McCall, a friend of And’s with a masters degree in social work, who has attended many of And’s Team Meetings, has come forward saying she believes DMH is targeting and abusing And and that And is not safe.
- All Massachusetts State entities have refused to intervene despite an easily provable #patternOfAbuse and targeting by DMH towards And for at least 3 years.
- Many staff members have filed complaints regarding And’s care.
- #MindFreedom and many advocates and you remain concerned that this pattern will continue without intervention."

Karen #Silkwood's sudden death unpacked in ABC documentary

The four-part podcast unearths never-before-heard audio tapes.

ByDoc Louallen
November 14, 2024

"Fifty years ago, the death of a 28-year-old #plutonium plant worker and whistleblower in Oklahoma -- a death many found mysterious and sparked decades of speculation -- shocked the nation.

"The official story was that Karen Silkwood died in a one-car crash on Nov. 13, 1974. She was on her way to meet a New York Times journalist, reportedly to hand over documents she'd secretly been collecting at her job at a #NuclearFacility. The Oklahoma State Highway Patrol concluded that Silkwood fell asleep at the wheel -- possibly under the influence of prescribed drugs --- drove off the highway, crashed into a ditch, and died.

"'We’ve never believed it,' Mike Boettcher said of the official narrative. Boettcher and his reporting partner Bob Sands, both veteran Oklahoma journalists, say many in Oklahoma speculate that Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew.

"Silkwood's story has become widely known, inspiring several books, articles, and a major motion picture.
Silkwood worked at a nuclear fuel production plant that manufactured #plutonium fuel rods to power a new type of nuclear reactor, which was part of a multi-million dollar experiment to enhance #nuclear energy. When she noticed what she felt were #unsafe working conditions -- such as leaks, spills and co-workers frequently getting #contaminated with #RadioactiveMaterial -- she spoke up and tried to make improvements.

"'Karen became nuclear energy's first #whistleblower, though the term whistleblower was just starting to be used,' Boettcher said. 'This was at a time when the idea of someone inside of a big corporation exposing alleged misdeeds was shocking.'

"Silkwood's allegations, contamination, and untimely death sparked an investigation by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, an FBI inquiry, a civil lawsuit, several appeals, a congressional hearing and two appearances before the U.S. Supreme Court."
