Futile Attempts by Coalition of Insiders Providing Public with Information on Endemic Corruption, Endemic Cover-ups, and the Consequences The events of 9/11 were only one of many consequences from the corruption that is rampant in the United States. Since shortly after the end of World War II, the American people have suffered great harm, often times deaths, and sometimes catastrophic events, occurring at more frequent intervals. Some segments of the culture have affected the United States in a way that are having an even wider range of harm. A Financial Times article (February 9, 2010) referred to the plight of the United States in the following comments: The United States is a pale shadow of what it was a decade ago: its fiscal situation is out of control, its banking system discredited, its military stretched by two protracted wars. Whatever philosophical high ground it has had over the last two decades has been lost. For many people in the United States, the harm is more direct and personal, and the results of arrogance and corruption. Inside information on many of these matters is revealed at this site and in related not-for-profit books by an unusual coalition of insiders, headed by a former government agent who was initially motivated by the arrogance. corruption, and repeated deaths that associated with years of preventable airline disasters. Many of those disasters and deaths occurred in his immediate area of federal airline safety responsibilities.
