Today, the grassroots good government and legal reform advocate known as POPULAR Inc. (POPULAR) announced that one of its year-end recipients of its bi-annual "Restore Integrity Award" is whistleblower Captain Daniel Hanley.
POPULAR's award in the Grassroots Advocacy Category went to Captain Hanley, national spokesperson of the Whistleblowing Airline Employees Association (WAEA), for his "relentless advocacy to ultimately keep the skies safe
for millions of air travelers, culminating with a recent commitment by
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to consider alleged
improprieties attendant to the United Airlines Chapter 11 bankruptcy."
Both
Chapter 11 and September 9-11 are issues Captain Hanley and his group
expose for justice and crisis prevention. Today, in his ongoing
courageous campaign, Captain Hanely highlighted the aircrew
professionals who were ignored about 911. They were then persecuted.
What
good are Federal Air Marshal pistols if the TSA suppresses honest
whistleblower reports within the system and have their careers and
families trashed as a result? Just ask Federal Air Marshal
whistleblowers Robert Maclean, Spencer Pickard, and Craig Sawyer, and
TSA Red Team Leader Bogdan Dzakovic who testified before the 9/11 Commission, but were ignored.
These
highly qualified individuals, now targeted for ruination, alert that
the standard operating system of officials whitewashing air tragedies
plus cover-ups of rogue elements infiltrated into government agencies
is setting up the U.S. for another 911 type disaster.
Referring to the recent security leak last week, Captain Hanley had stated,
"This egregious act of negligence by those in the upper-echelons of the
Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security
Administration must be held accountable for the most blatant breach of
security since 9/11."
ABC News and OE News reports
within two weeks of the eight anniversary of theSeptember 11, 2001 mass
murder support growing numbers of people globally that concluded that
the 9-11 crime was committed by individuals in the U.S., military,
government employees, and others who applied a military black operation.
Whistleblowers
typically receive little or no financial support, or even familiar
understanding of hell they endure after reporting crime so that others
are not injured. Captain Hanley is viewed by other whistelblowers as a
genuine American hero according to recent emails from them.
Corruption perception increase
Katherine
Moore and Nancy Swan co-administer the award program as POPULAR’s
Advisory Board President and Vice President, respectively. In June, they characterized the program as “an urgent measure” given a report by Transparency International that overall perception of corruption had increased 8 percent worldwide.
Each POPULAR award recipient of the public sector category is a judge.
Public Sector Category
- Judge Henry L. Lackey
for reporting the bribery overture to federal authorities that derailed
a seemingly invincible, corrupt segment of the Mississippi legal system
led by various “Kings of Torts,” certain powerful lawyers who sullied
the noble mission of the plaintiffs’ bar for personal gain.
- Judge Arthur M. Schack
for his appropriately strict scrutiny of foreclosure cases before him
and corresponding mantra, “(i)f you are going to take away someone’s
house, everything should be legal and correct.”
- Judge Arlen Spinner
for his bold step of preempting $525,000 in mortgage payments demanded
by a California bank “so as to deter it from imposing further
mortifying abuse” on a Long Island couple appearing before him in the
underlying foreclosure dispute.
Private Sector Category
- Retired U.S. Chief Deputy Marshal Matthew Fogg
for his unique insights and public speaking on America's failed War On
Drugs, contending "(d)rug prohibition helps the U.S. maintain a racial
apartheid prison industrial complex."
- Mr. Alan Lange
for his balanced expose´ on the Mississippi judicial bribery and
racketeering cases of Paul Minor and Dickie Scruggs, now chronicled and
published with Lange’s coauthor as the book “Kings of Torts.”
Moore and Swan stated that they were delighted that judges comprise half of our year-end award recipients.
Swan
explained that “judges Lackey, Schack, and Spinner resisted powerful
private interests without waiting for a groundswell of public support
for their actions. Such quiet, brave displays of
integrity are particularly refreshing in our society of
Terri-Schiavo-Jena-6-like quests for justice.”
Moore
emphasized that "all of POPULAR's award recipients have taken or
otherwise pursued one or more specific acts or measures to eliminate
significant inequity, waste, fraud, abuse, or other public and/or
private sector corruption in America." POPULAR reportedly
defines corruption as "any illegal or unethical conduct contributing to
the systemic malfunction of government, commerce, and/or democracy in
America as contemplated by the U.S. Constitution."
POPULAR will mail its year-end award recipients an encased certificate, commemorating their award. All
but the judges were emailed before the official notification and
congratulated for receiving the award. POPULAR will announce its third
round of award recipients in June 2010.
