Mike, I wanted you to know that your case was taught in my MBA law class about whistle blowing. This video was referenced in our reading assignment. You have made a lasting impact on the field of business law 101.

[imispgh]

Thank you for the comment. Can you tell me what school this is?

[bluesuncompanyman]

@imispgh Indiana University MBA Program, it's discussed in the Business Law fundementals course during the whistleblowing lecture. We spent about 30 minutes on this case and 2 others.

[imispgh]

@bluesuncompanyman Thank you

to "mcstatue"...if you improve the blood flow to your brain by 80%, you might then improve to that of an idiot. You have no idea that the security of this nation is purposefully being compromised by those that are sworn to protect it. This nation (due to it's sins against God) is considered HERETICAL by God, & will therefore be punished by those in control of the world's economy & puppet governments of the world, including these United States. REPENT! We who are fools!! Are we to challenge God!

[shakenama]

You should be commended that you did the right thing - it shows integrity and concern to Coasties safety on a personal level when someone see something wrong and has the guts to speak up - even if it costs his job.

I hope he has found employment

hi mike, good idea to start a whitle bower site. i was just researching such and came across your story. i have been curious of life after whistle blowers. news never follow up on such stories. i'm glad you spoke out. many are afraid of retaliation. peace

[cbwtrixie]

Thank you Mike. People like you may someday change the tide!

[adjoa974]

engineer students in france are studying your case and the ethical question raised in blowing the whistle on lockheed martin. could you please send me a copy of the speech you gave at the reception of the ieee when you received the carl barus award and also if you know the criteria which motivated the ieee's choice among other nominees. if you happen to have any letters and/or documents, i would appreciate your sharing them with me. thanks for replying -urgently and congratulations!

[KARStarla]

Great job! They should promote you!

As the Father of a Coast Guardsman, your observations of this huge Deepwater debacle, are the logical extension of the incompetence that I have observed/learned of, in the day-to-day operations of the CG. It scares me that our country's borders are in the hands of Homeland Security. They do not appear capable of protecting anybody. The Coast Guard appears to be a shoestring operation with mammoth expectations. Who will save the Coast Guard from Homeland Security? My prayers are with you.

shut the fuck up me and my friends are in the coast guard and their is nothing wrong with the deepwater program did u here that they just did full sea trials and it was a 100 % sucesful shut up man u are gay

[LoriLasko]

you sound like an idiot. you shouldn't have a weapon.

oh, and it appears as though you missed the entire pont of the video.

[imispgh]

They said the same thing when each of the 8 123s was delivered. Don't be blinded by loyalty. Look in to all of it - have an open mind and make objective and rational conclusions. Is it possible the NSC is OK - yes it is. it's just not probable. Every one of my allegations has proven to be accurate. Check out Blore's comments in the recent Mississippi Press article. Check out this months Corporate Counsel online.

[steelnpearls]

if you work for Lockheed/Martin and Lockheed/Martin as well as another company did this work for the monies given for this work, then why isn't Lockheed should be put to the investigative system on federal levels to find out who and when they decided to do this type of work on Coast Guard ships, making them inopperable and non sea worthy. This is Lockheed/Martin's fault.

[PoiZinConTrol]

If only more people would stand up like you for what's right. Thank you so much! You are an inspiration to others who know of wrong doings but have not yet come forward to "Blow the Whistle!"

[killerhamster104]

I SAW YOU ON 60 MIN

[svosprey]

Thanks for standing up and speaking out-

A true American standing up for us when the powers that be dropped the ball!

bajamorin, do you think the average human needs to be a memorizing screen actor? You watch too much television. He did a fine job.

[jhindson]

Conratulations on your courage. Hopefully one day whistleblowers will not face retribution. You will probably have to change careers and take whistleblowing protection and rights on as your new career.

[nicklehood]

are you reading this crap off the screen? wft?

[robotusch]

In the original video, he explained that he was doing so, since he was not used to making videos.

[bajamorin]

As a Coastie I apprciate you looking out for our shipmates safety.

[hot4seth]

You're very articulate and very brave. I knew you'd succeed with your efforts when I watched your first video way back when you first put it up. Good job!
