We need more whistleblowers like this man. He lost his job for exposing fraud. The guys he blew the whistle on got 10 years in the slammer.

Because Gene blew the whistle, Vilar and Tanaka went to prison. The Amerindo victims got most of their money back. Without him, none of this would have happened.
But his honesty came at a price–Gene was heavily retaliated against by Bear Stearns. He was chastised, fired, and sued
And Bear Stearns went bust in 2008.
A house of cards.

This is unchristian and un-American.
When I watched the priest celebrate communion this morning she said that all are welcome at God's table.
Who is this man to judge?

Catholic Pastor Tells Lesbian Chief Judge: ‘No Communion For You’ via @forbes forbes.com/sites/dawnstac…
@Forbes "Her parents, who wed at St. Stephen’s, baptized her there and she attended its school. The funeral masses for the judge’s parents were held there as well."
'I was raised in that church. It created who I am. We were taught ‘love everyone' ...."
Yes, but they need a new priest.
@Forbes If the Judge living in a loving marriage with another woman is a sin, then just about everything is a sin. If the priest wants to deny communion to all unrepentant sinners, he will be enjoying that communion wine all by himself. Perhaps that's the point.

This is not Christianity.
This is a perversion of our faith to promote hate.
Christians and all Americans must say ENOUGH!

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew...."
"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Single payer health care.
Non-negotiable for a Conservative U.K. government.
But Warren and Sanders are attacked by fellow Democrats for suggesting it in the U.S.?

PM Johnson says UK would walk away from US trade talks if NHS was on the table news.yahoo.com/pm-johnson-say… via @Yahoo
@Yahoo Follow the money.
Of the U.S. politicians who oppose single payer health insurance, how many own stock in or get campaign contributions from insurance companies, health care providers, drug companies and/or medical device companies?
@Yahoo Of course @realDonaldTrump wants to use trade talks to take apart the U.K.'s single payer health care system. That would give U.S. medical device companies and drug companies a big market to sell products at the same price they sell for here. Then go for Canada, Australia ...

As an NSA contractor, there was no whistleblower statute or “proper” protocol that #RealityWinner could use to shield herself. But she blew the whistle anyway re: Russia’s attack on our election infrastructure, which the Trump regime had tried to cover up. #FreeRealityWinner 1/
2/ Thread.
3/ Meanwhile, the govt won’t tell the American public which counties (or how many) were breached. We need more whistleblowers like #RealityWinner, but none have come forward, perhaps due to what the Trump regime did to her. And no one in Congress has raised a finger to help her.

TY, but why aren’t you speaking up for #RealityWinner?! As an NSA contractor, there was no whistleblower statute she could use to shield herself. But she blew the whistle anyway re: Russia’s attack on our election infrastructure, which the Trump regime had tried to cover up. 1/
For her decision to warn the public about Russian hacking, the Trump regime locked her up for 5 years. They relied on an “espionage” statute not intended for this type of situation. Maria Butina, an actual Russian spy, received a much shorter sentence. 2/

Good evening folks! I want to tell y’all a story. It is full of first times. My first trip to rural, northern Nigeria. My first real encounter with a person living with HIV. My first (and only) experience with burukutu. And possibly, the first seed of TJ sprouting in my head.
It was 2008. I’d been working at the Clinton Health Access Initiative for 3 months. We lived in this building in Wuse 2 that we called the Iraqi palace, because it was huge and had marble floors- though the A/Cs and other electronics had all been fried during a changeover mishap.
We had a gateman named Salisu who was from Kano and in love with me (and who later broke free from the quasi-slavery or being a gateman in Abuja and ended up becoming a driver for a family in Maitama) and a “house boy” and a gardener who were cousins from Bauchi State.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
