CBS: Nuclear workers “terrified to come forward” — Whistleblower won’t appear on TV fearing retaliation by NRC (VIDEO)
A crying Janice Overall told CBS News her husband, Curtis, “paid the ultimate price.” [...] an award-winning employee who helped run Watts Bar’s unique ice containment system, designed to prevent a nuclear meltdown.

But in 1995, after Overall discovered what he believed were problems with the system on the eve of Watts Bar’s long-delayed startup, he got harassed with threatening notes, and even a fake bomb discovered in the back of his pickup. Battling a bad heart and deep depression, Overall died in 2007 at the age of 56, without any proof of who had harassed him. [...]

“People are terrified to come forward at TVA,” [attorney Lynne Bernabei] asserts. “It’s just like back in 1985. Nothing has changed. They’re terrified to come forward because they know that they will not get employment at TVA.” [...]

Says Bernabei, “The whole regulatory system is based on self-reporting by the utility employees. If those employees are scared of coming forward, you’re not going to get the safety problems reported, and you’re gonna have a plant that is not safe.”

CBS News spoke with one whistleblower, Gail Richards, who said she was too afraid to appear on-camera for “fear of further risk of retaliation for me and my family by the TVA and NRC.”

That's the climate in general and it's worse under Obama. He's prosecuting whistle blowers in record numbers, so they have little to no protection any more. Not many people are willing to risk it all, including their families.

No.

Eisenhower was the last president who served two full terms and who at least tried to govern by following Constitutional law.

JFK was the last independent president and tried to restore an already badly eroded Constitutional government. He was assassinated because of this.

Nixon was the last president who knew everything about what was going on and who tried to maintain full control over his own administration.

Reagan was not a president at all, he was a figurehead who made speeches and who succeeded in fooling Americans and others into feeling good while a wholesale theft of their country was fully underway. George H.W. Bush was the actual president for three full terms (1981-93). During this time, the groundwork for fully integrating the US and the rest of the planet into the NWO was set in place.

Everything that has happened since then has been a fraud and a sham of the highest order.

The rule of law in the U.S. no longer matters. If you have the right last name or are connected then magically nothing happens.
On the other side of the scale, here we have brave Americans speaking out on problems with potentially devastating results, and they're threatened, fired and worse. And look who's behind it.
We might as well cut the regulatory agencies out of the budget because they're a waste of time and effort since every one is captured by the industry they're "regulating". I say get rid of all of them.
Hell, haven't you heard, radiation is good for you. But now I can't remember if it was Michelle Bachmann or Sarah Palin who said that. Must be the radiation.

Many industries are like that, and usually the government goes after the whistleblower instead of the criminals, because the government is so corrupt and bought off by the for profit companies.

Welcome to the new third world call the US of A. This is what happens in third world countries all the time. When this whole system comes down, I see despotism and tribalism happening in the US. And when this happens it will turn the USA into a new nation of 5 to 6 countries that will go their own way.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

So many more of us than them. I ain't afeared to be in the front lines.

How many people die for their country when their country is just meant to be a symbol of their principles, and usually their country fails them? Cut out the middle-man. Live based on principle. Sure, they might make "an example" out of a few of us but we just keep on coming.

These mafias depend on fear (they are only a small group of smart but not brilliant people and they are like the wizard of oz, trying to blow themselves up to be much larger.) When people in general know not to be afraid of them the mafias collapse.

we ain't afeared of you, nuke mafia, we ain't afeared of you anymore!

I have no doubt that this is happening.

I thought it quite telling that one of the 'threatning notes' left on the guy's windshied referanced "Silkwood".

Karen Silkwood was a Hero if ever there was 1.!!!!
She risked her life trying to get the truth out about the Nuclear Industry, years ago...and was killed for it. Run off the road on her way to a 'meeting' about what was actually happening in the industry, and how unsafe it was( she had PROOF with her at the time, that mysteriously disappeared in the crash..:P).
She didn't work in a reactor, but in one of the places that make the fuel rods to power the Nuke plants.
First they tried to 'intimidate her', and when that didn't work,,,they 'internally contaminated her, and her entire house!
When that wasn't enough to stop her...she was run off the road and killed in the crash.

I don't know how many saw the movie with Cher and Meryl Streep in it...but it was an eye opener for sure!
It burned a memory in my brain that has never left since I saw it!
I knew it was the truth when I saw it, and have never swayed on it since then.

So sad that these people that truly care about Humanity are snuffed out like it's nothing!
I have much respect for evey single one of the people that thru the years have stepped up and put their lives in danger, to try and prevent catastrophy.

Hopefully, here soon, the day will come when these money obsessed fuckers are all gonna fall...HARD!
The day when all of their efforts are going to bring these bastards down!
