Comments on: FAA Whistleblower Says He Was Threatened

Tells Congress Agency Viewed Airlines More Like "Customers" Than Companies To Be Regulated

The Republican mantra is "government doesn''''t work" and they set out every single day to conspire to make government fail - then they say "see, told you so". Worst of all they tax you for the "service".

Hey rebelscout,
The 1st thing that went into my mind was Wall Street "Corruption is good" then something better than that:

CAPITALISM LOVES CORRUPTION!

But in reality, greed... (for lack of a better term)...

...IS A DISEASE!

Every human being on this planet has it. Some are better at controlling it, while others thrive on it.

We seem to be going the way of the Roman Empire, Not a very good thought is it?

The U.S. Government is so saturated in corruption, the civil service lawyers can get rich off this internal power struggle. I got fired for whistleblowing.

One of the 14 points of a fascist government is quite clear in this story:

Corporate Power is Protected...

The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

Real Americans should be affraid of the Bush regime and should do everything possible to ensure their existence, their ideals, and their criminal acts are NOT continued any longer. November is our last chance.

As proven by the FDA, FEMA, FTC, and other government departments...

...this Neo-Con/Nazi administrations plan of nearly disbanding the government for the sake of corporate interests is going full steam.

The plan:

1. Appoint and recruit completely incompetent industry insiders into the governing departments designed to regulate and oversee the companies that Americans are exposed to everyday.

2. Ensure the incompetent heads of said governing departments places the interests of corporate "America" over the interests of the American people that the departments are supposed to protect.

3. When Americans are put in danger and/or harmed by the unscrupulous corporations, ensure that the various governing departments appear to be incompetent and lacking authority... for the sole purpose of Neo-Conservatives to claim the typical retarded Reagan BS line of "...government is not the solution, government is the problem."

4. Continually (try to) convince the American people that government is "the problem" when the evening news points out the lack of action by said governing departments.

There is definitely something wrong here... How can a company knowing violate laws which are there for the purpose of public safety, blatantly ignore those laws, and only face "fines"? Someone should be arrested for criminal negligence!

Actually, the government frequently proves in court that the laws are for *compliance*. Not for safety. The Iraq war is certainly not safe. And these planes were not all "proven" unsafe anyway, just found to be in "noncompliance". Did you even read the article?
