Government Inc. Public Officials for Profit

The real problem with government and corporate corruption is that each of these entities are increasingly acting in the interests of no one but themselves. Once the government figured out that it was a "business," corruption became epidemic and the assumption became "to hell with morals." Our government now functions under capitalistic ethics. Government handbooks (their policy - the dusty book on the shelf) as well as their politics (what actually goes on) does everything but condone outright lying. Although government cover ups and lying has become a sport in Washington.

Almost everyday, I read more and more about judicial corruption. I personally want to believe that this is one area outside the influence of politics. This however does not work for me, or most of the public. I know this because . . . I was a judge for the EEOC which is probably one of the most corrupt judiciaries in the nation. Ordered by the Chairwoman Cari Dominguez to change my decision in a finding of discrimination in favor of two women attorneys and against the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chairwoman, stated "[she] did not want a sister agency to suffer." When I absolutely refused to change the decision, I was grossly harassed and retaliated against for years - even to the point of a supervisor telling me that I would be dead - by their hands or my own. It's on the record. This is old news for politicians who have personally sought out and corrupted our judicial system. Yet, most American's truly want to believe they can still get a fair shake once they get their day in court, that is if they even get that far. The abuse of power under the color of authority is when a public figure, regardless of elected or appointed, attempts to interfere with the one last citadel citizens believed was without and above corruption, our judicial system. I have seen some of the very worst corruption in the EEOC's judiciary yet the public, albeit aware of corruption, is clueless as to the depth and breadth of the problem. Like the murder of Kennedy do we have to place the truth in a container and bury it in the ground for fifty years or can we face up to it now, and rid ourselves of the problem. I for one cannot tolerate a justice system that is no longer capable of responsibly dispensing justice. I am sick of influence peddling when it comes to judges deciding on a matter where cases become precedent. The players know what is going on while the rest of us missed the memo. Had I personally known what the EEOC judiciary was capable of inflicting on one of their own judge's, especially on a disable person with two terminal illnesses, I would have avoided the system at all costs. I was definitely way too naive to see my very own personal destruction coming at me like a freight train. Truth is really stranger than fiction. The bogey-man is real, not some made up story for prime time but alive and well in government institutions.

What to do - what to do? Perhaps one of you will have an answer. Hope springs eternal.

Legal ethics have been dumbed down, completely eliminating "right" from "wrong." Moral considerations are now optional. Public officials and those appointed individuals to positions of power have lost their consciences. No longer is a position of public trust a noble calling to serve others.

The call of the question is what to do when the government is in dire need of a moral makeover, and who will impose it? The problem is far beyond the greatest spin doctors. A good dose of honesty, integrity and sensitivity to human decency would be a great start. Public officials must be held to a higher standard of conduct. Any external steps to eliminate corruption or combat the effects thereof are poor substitutes for personal moral character. No external inducements can take the place of higher spiritual aspirations, with strong and unshakable convictions that corruption is dishonorable, and that ultimately dishonor is truly worse than death itself.

Does anyone here know of someone worthy of the cause? Someone, and I mean someone soon, needs to step up to the plate, and be the change agent we so desperately need.


Respectfully submitted,


Honorable Mary Elizabeth Bullock (Retired)
