New CT Series - WHISTLEBLOWER WATCH

A subcategory of the PTP Watch, now all grown up and out on its own.

In the beginning, there was the original Pareto Tipping Point™ article:

Six months later, I began the wildly popular 🫤 PTP Watch:

And here we are, six months after that. Back in May, I had no idea how long it would take for the PTP to manifest; nor how or whether I would even recognize the ‘discontinuity event’ when I saw it. Little did I know that it was only NINE WEEKS AWAY:

It took another FOUR MONTHS and a landslide U.S. electoral victory for me to issue a firm confirmation that the Butler PA ‘Trump public execution op’ was indeed the Pareto Tipping Point™ - The Event, witnessed by the entire world, which became ‘the meme that broke the Overton Window’ and tipped the 19% public support for MAGA / America First to 80% no-longer-Silent Majority public support (the Pareto 80 / 20 rule):

So the U.S. electorate was waiting for a Signal that it was finally OK to ‘come out of the MAGA closet’ and openly rally around their candidate, in complete disregard for PopCultureLLC™ shrieking in their faces 24/7 that they were a ‘threat to our democracy.’

President Trump’s last-second head turn, a self-described ‘miracle,’ was that Signal; and that Signal became the Pareto Tipping Point…

The response to The Event by the PopCultureLLC™ legacy media, and by internet-rando unhinged leftists, was the ‘giant smack-upside-the-head’ that the Silent Majority needed in order to unite in opposition.

• The legacy media has been disgraced and neutered

• Academia is widely acknowledged to be ‘a vast wasteland’

• PopCultureLLC™ is retreating from its relentless trans / DEI crusade

• The left must now own its economic and immigration policy disasters

All that to say, welcome to the first post in the new Cheap Thoughts series Whistleblower Watch…

…the successor to the PTP Watch - and in particular, to PTP Watch 5: Whistleblower Edition, which featured exposés of Boeing, BlackRock, the Obama-Biden administration, Fani Willis’ office, the City of San Francisco, NYPD, Facebook and more:

But knowing that disclosure and transparency would be a significant part of mass awareness, a segment devoted to whistleblower story links was part of the PTP Watch format from the beginning.

For easy reference, here’s the complete list of Cheap Thoughts whistleblower story links to date:

As More Boeing Whistleblowers Go Public, FAA Protections Are Weak

https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisagarcia/2024/04/27/as-more-boeing-whistleblowers-go-public-faa-air21-is-weak/

This week, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, a union whose members work at Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, and Triumph Composite Systems, alleged that Boeing managers retaliated against two members designated as FAA Organization Delegation Authorization representatives. In 2022, the two engineers pushed for a review of work on the onboard computer networks for the 777 and 787 to ensure Boeing complied with an FAA advisory.

The union claims “Boeing managers strongly objected” to the review due to costs and production delays incurred. The engineers ultimately prevailed with backing from the FAA…

However, the union says the engineers’ success in ensuring compliance led to retaliation by Boeing managers. Both engineers received negative evaluations on performance reviews, which would have disqualified them for raises and promotions and put the employees at risk for layoffs…

Thousands of employees at federal contractors do not have whistleblower protections despite 2013 law

As she read the memo explaining why she was being fired, Kierra Varcos felt her cheeks burn and blood pound in her ears. She tried not to look up at the other people sitting around the conference room table.

Varcos had been dreading this moment for months, ever since she raised concerns about what she saw as conflicts of interest and questionable spending by the executive director of the nonprofit where she worked.

Now, the piece of paper on the table in front of her said her employment was over, effective immediately. The executive director read it aloud. It specifically mentioned the complaints Varcos had brought to the board — complaints that were supposed to be confidential…

Boeing: Dead whistleblower warned of safety breaches

https://www.bbc.com/news/68907597

A former Boeing employee, who was found dead in March, accused the company of "countless" violations of US law in testimony given just before his death.

John Barnett claimed the firm tried to "eliminate" quality inspections at a plant that makes 787 planes.

The former quality control manager had been giving a formal legal deposition against the plane manufacturer.

The 62-year-old's death after two days of testimony was from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound", officials said…

Pareto Tipping Point Watch #2

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/boeing-faces-10-new-whistleblowers-after-tragic-deaths/

The aviation giant Boeing is facing a growing number of whistleblowers coming forward with safety concerns following the recent deaths of two previous whistleblowers…

Now, it appears that at least 10 more whistleblowers have come forward with safety concerns about Boeing’s aircraft.

The whistleblowers have painted a troubling picture of Boeing, alleging the company prioritized profits over safety, ignored problems, and retaliated against employees who spoke up.

RIP John Barnett and Joshua Dean, heores and martyrs

Pareto Tipping Point Watch #3

https://fortune.com/2024/05/14/whistleblower-epa-ohio-train-crash-forge-backdate/

The U.S. government has a specialized plane loaded with advanced sensors that officials brag is always ready to deploy within an hour of any kind of chemical disaster. But the plane didn’t fly over eastern Ohio until four days after the disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment there last year.

A whistleblower told The Associated Press that the Environmental Protection Agency’s ASPECT plane could have provided crucial data about the chemicals spewing into the air around East Palestine as the wreckage burned and forced people from their homes.

The man who wrote the software and helped interpret the data from the advanced radiological and infrared sensors on the plane said it also could have helped officials realize it wasn’t necessary to blow open five tank cars and burn the vinyl chloride inside because the plane’s sensors could have detected the cars’ temperatures more accurately than the responders on the ground who were having trouble safely getting close enough to check.

But the single-engine Cessna cargo plane didn’t fly over the train crash until a day after the controversial vent-and-burn action created a huge plume of black smoke over the entire area near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/army-whistleblower-exposed-alleged-australian-war-crimes-afghanistan-110204167

MELBOURNE, Australia -- A judge sentenced a former army lawyer to almost six years in prison on Tuesday for leaking to the media classified information that exposed allegations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan.

David McBride, 60, was sentenced in a court in the capital, Canberra, to five years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to three charges including theft and sharing with members of the press documents classified as secret. He had faced a potential life sentence.

Justice David Mossop ordered McBride to serve 27 months in prison before he can be considered for release on parole.

Rights advocates argue that McBride's conviction and sentencing before any alleged war criminal he helped expose reflected a lack of whistleblower protections in Australia

Whistleblower says DOT kept important truck safety info from the public

Before I tell you what happened next and why it matters, you should know there is a term for those types of collisions in which vehicles and people end up under large trucks — “underride crashes.” If you are not familiar with that phrase, you are not alone. People who have lost loved ones to those types of crashes will tell you they weren’t familiar with it either, until they were all too familiar with it.

So there you have it. Starting next week, I will be aggregating links to articles demonstrating the power of whistleblowing - and presumably the increasing pace of such disclosures. Expect James O’Keefe and OMG to feature prominently.

I estimate that 75% of U.S. citizens have directly experienced government corruption, all the way down to psychopathic municipal building inspectors et. al. [including the perps responsible for the executions of P’nut and Fred].

If you count yourself amongst those wronged by bureaucratic overreach, your chance to speak-up without fear of retaliation is approaching. I suggest you get your thoughts down on paper now…Elon and Vivek will be asking for submissions.

Thanks for reading, and as always, Stay Skeptical.
