A senior legal investigator was fired by the FED for standing up to Goldman Sachs and her bosses at the FED.\u00a0 She got fired for doing her job.<\/p>\n
What happened?\u00a0 She highlighted the corruption in the FED and Goldman Sachs which was protecting bosses and their cash at the expense of Goldman Sachs clients and the public (who pay for the FED).\u00a0 In fact, the evidence had been compiled four years earlier when a commissioned report stated that the Fed encourages its employees to keep their heads down, to obey their managers and to appease the banks.\u00a0 But that had been ignored by the FED.\u00a0 Financial failure was caused by cultural failure.<\/p>\n
Officially, she was fired because she transgressed internal confidentiality rules.<\/p>\n
Don’t we all have a higher authority to do the right thing and stand up to bullies?\u00a0 If not, big government and big business have little incentive to be honest.<\/p>\n
Whistle-blowing seems to be working.\u00a0 The news is in the public domain now, and that’s good.\u00a0 But there will be obfuscation, cover-up and hushing-up, as usual.\u00a0 We will forget.\u00a0 But if we don’t and if we change what we do with our investments, votes and voices improvements will come sooner.<\/p>\n
