For Whistleblowers marriages end because of the egregious protocol of retaliations
by ALL three branches of Government especially the INjustice System.
WB #1137 in CT: divorced after 35 years of marriage because of the emotional and financial devastation of being retalated against by CT Government: ‘blacklisting’ us from working in our professions, legally kidnapping our kids by DCF and the secret court hearings in Probate/Juvenile/Family courts where they
court appoint GAL’s who fabricate reports
against us and these corrupt Judges (unscrupulous attorneys in black robes politically appointed and politially approved by the other two branches of Gov’t) rubber stamp these ‘whores of the court’ who sell their licenses to say whatever the court wants for more ‘referrals’ to fatten their wallets
We go bankrupt defending ourselves of false charges and trying to fight the courts for our kids back…….ALL designed by the Gov’t to render us destitute and homeless or lock us up unjustly to SILENCE us.

Oh, and all those news media reports about how CT and other States have ’strong’ whistleblower protection laws……..they are as easily IGNORED
in State Kangaroo Courts as the OLD
whistleblower, civil rights, constitutional rights and labor laws
are……..You see, the Judge has ‘broad
discretionary authority’ to rule on the
evidence…..so he/she can rule ‘irrefutable’ evidence that disputes
the hired professional ‘whore of the courts’ report to say whatever the Kangaroo court (judge) wants as NOT CREDIBLE……..the Judge told me (WB #1137) that ‘this is MY courtroom and I can do whatever I want’…..Yep, he can and he did…….Appellate Courts only
rule on the DECISION of the corrupt lower
court Judge because the Law says these
judges have INTEGRITY and also the time
and ability to review all the evidence in
a fair and just manner…….LOL. All the corrupt Judge in the lower State corrupticourt has to worry about is making
no error of law in his/her decision….Appellate Court State Judges (fellow crnies of the lower corrupticourt
Judges) do NOT review evidence EVEN if the
evidence was unjustly suppressed….LOL
Get it……….The Justice System is CORRUPT…..and NO Whistleblower can or does obtain Justice.
Oh, and the Agency that is SUPPOSE to protect us (the Attorney General’s office) is the same agency that defends the offendng agency we are complaining about! Sound like a ‘conflict of interest’???? Of course it is….but NOT in Corrupticut.
Oh and in Corrupticut, Legislators who are attorneys can practice law in the same courts they politically approve their
crony attorneys to the Bench as Judges! now, any reasonably thinking person can see the ‘potential’ at least for ‘political favoritism’ in the Judge’s rulings for his ‘bud’ the Legislator/Attorney…..but not in Corrupticut and nor in Corrupticourts in CT……this is ‘all above board’ because
politicians are ‘honest’ and attorneys are
‘honest’ and both have the absolute ‘integrity’ of the Ct courts.
Speak out in CT against Government fraud, waste and abuse and you will become a ‘targeted’ citizen: placed on the law enforecement’s ‘list’ for wiretapping, stalking and harassment by Police, investigated if you have elders or children by State Agency Child and Elder
Protection agencies. Oh and, NO attorney
will defend you ‘aggressively’ because they too will be retaliated aginst and most will sell you out for ‘referrals’ by
the largest employer in CT: which is none
other than The State of CT Government
