Fed Law Mandates Whistleblowing - Consequences Regardless

Hey - Did you know that whistleblowing is a requirement of federal law?

It's True!

- - - Most of you have heard, or are aware of, the issue of being an accessory, before, during and/or after the fact. The issue germane - is that if a person has knowledge of a crime that shall, is or has occurred you are considered an accessory to the crime = unless you report it.

- - - What you probably aren't aware of (and truth is, neither was I until the legal case took twists and turns in 2005) - is the legal vernacular is titled - "MisPrision of a Felony". The actual United States Code is 18 U.S.C. which states (as per Cornell School of Constitutional Law) that -

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.


- - In other words, if you are aware of a felony being planned, transpiring or that has occurred already - and you fail to report - You TOO, can go to jail. Thus, each and every one of U.S. are Commanded By LAW - to blow the whistle.

Family & Friends disown you - when whistleblowing cost's you standing;
and - many say "How much of a bribe do you need - NOT to blow the whistle"!

- - - Oft times, I reflect on the various issues surrounding me on a day to day basis. Why am I where I am! Why am I alone! Given the fact that Goldman Sachs, Romney and Bain Capital are (apparently) - Above the Law (and may always be that way) -should I have just taken the bribe to become a partner with Mitt Romney! - Yeah, I know - YUC...

- - - You all will never have any idea how many friends and family call me an idiot. Many said "If the Department of Justice persons were telling you it was okay to take the "inducement" - that it may not ''technically" be a Bribe; then you are stupid for not taking it&quot $850,000 that Romney's Gang offered to me. With the last offer for it to be rounded up to $1 million).

You simply can't fight City Hall and those who are protected by its power! (They Said)

- - - Then there are the "others". Those who say everyone has a price. After Romney's Gang failed to bribe me in eToys, Mitt (reportedly) resigned as CEO of Bain Capital in August 2001 and one of his attorney's (Colm F Connolly of www.MNAT.com ) was arranged to be the Delaware United States Attorney (who then refused to investigate and/or prosecute Romney/ Bain etc - for his entire 7 years in office).

SEE - City Hall can do anything/everything - to make sure you can beat them!

- - - So, the "others" stated to me, "Your simply holding out for more money". OR - "You're mad that they gave the CEO of Kay Bee Toys $18 million and only offered you $850,000". This one really is something, when someone says to me " Your full of (c]hit - Nobody turns down that much money and the chance to be a friend of a future President of the United States".

HHHmmmmmm!

Some articles give Laser credit, most don't even care to mention me.

Question is - "Is Laser Haas (your's truly) really a whistleblower?

- - - Rmuse of PoliticusUSA.com has helped me in more ways that one and I'm forever grateful/ indebted to him. Ron wrote several stories on Romney the Racketeer and Rmuse did a piece that I'm grateful for (as he is the only one decent reporter that ever gave me credit) that was titled "Meet the Man Battling Romney for 12 years". If you pan down in that article, right before the comments, there are several other Rmuse story attempts to garner attention to Romney/ Bain Capital's Racketeering. Including "Was Romney Running His Own Bankruptcy Ring" and "A Court Clerk Indicates Romney & Bain Capital are Above the Law" (where I filed a federal complaint in court against Mitt Romney on October 25, 2012 and the Clerk of Court wanted to make sure the media didn't get wind of it. So she simply refused to submit the case into the docket record - until November 6, 2012 (it was apparent that Romney would lose).

- - - However, my new found friend and hopefully one day, super activist/journalist Rmuse go a couple of things wrong. For one, I don't know if I consider myself a real whistleblower. In eToys, even without knowing about the MisPrision of a Felony Law, the fact of the matter is, it was a federal case and the Chief justice approved of my being hired. I am one of those few who feared breaking the law.

- - - Additionally, they were asking me to sell out everyone - when they offered the bribe. I would have had to betray the entire toy industry (whom had respect for my works). Would have harmed all the other creditors and the eToys shareholders also. Plus, it would mean breaking the law, over and over again, to cover it all up.

---- Finally, Rmuse says I'm not doing it for the money and that's simply incorrect. I appreciate him trying to paint me as a saint; but I'm far from it. The fact of the matter is, Romney's RICO Gang stole from me, the creditors (who weren't in on the schemes) and the eToys shareholders.

Aren't we entitled to our money back - that Mitt Romney's organized crime guys stole?

Whistleblower Organizations Always Say No Thanks to Laser Haas

[br]
- - - In 2005, the Wall Street Journal reporter Joe Pereira was going to tell the tale of how Laser studied the law online, slept in the warehouse I used to give charity money to and was beating the crooks. Instead, I persuaded him to not make the story about Haas. If you make the battle - in the media - Laser v Romney;

I LOSE....

- - - Romney owns 800 radio stations with 100 million listeners plus. All they have to do is have Rush Limbaugh say I'm a slut who has sex with Dolphins and Ted Nugent is calling for my execution and posting a bounty.

---- What is funny though, is the fact that the WSJ July 25, 2005 story "EToys Investors Find Conflict at Law Firm" - not only gives credit to shareholders who "DID NOT" do what the WSJ claims (and Joe Pereira said the editor refused to put my name in as Laser Steven Haas. But the shareholders wanted my head on the platter for doing the story with the WSJ without their permission.

SHHHESSSHHHH!

------ Be that as it may, Joe Pereira was ordered off the story; but I'll never forget what he did. He even offered to pay for my hotel room. Wish there were more like him.

As for whistleblowing in general - IT REALLY SUCKS the WHAMMY!

------ Though I think he handled it wrong, Mr. Markopolos is more commendable than I. In the eToys case, the fact of the matter is, I'm Laser (the Liquidator) Haas. Though I did turn down a bribe - without a nano second of consideration of taking it; the fact of the matter is, I'm there for the money.

Mr. Markopolos was after the SEC to address Madoff and he had nothing to gain;
but everything to lose.

----- Be that as it may, Mr. Markopolos has "Linked" to me; but will not talk to me. Neither will Erin Brokovich, nor many others. When Matt Taibbi and I corresponded through email, he was all fast and hungry, only to drop me like a lead balloon. Many Whistleblower organizations turn a deaf ear to this case. Which absolutely blows my mind.

It doesn't get any bigger than Romney the Racketeer!

---- Just this past week, a guy who I consider a kindred spirit, talking to me every day (sometimes many times a day) - all of sudden, out of the blue - refuses to speak to me anymore.

I'm a disease - without a cure.

---- Dov Avni is also another hero like Markopolos. Unfortunately, you will probably never hear his name in the news. In Stage Stores (and I told Taibbi about this), Dov Avni blew the whistle. He owned $4500 worth of stock and found out about Romney/Paul Traub's frauds.

The Court sicked the U.S. Marshals on Dov Avni to get $389,000 - SHHEEESSSHH

---- In my case, the eToys shareholders had one overbear of a guy. His name was Robert Alber. I really shouldn't be saying "was"; because he's still alive

Barely!

----- Jack Abramoff's self professed partner (Johann Hamerski from Alaska) - bragged about his connections in Washington D.C. Hamerski threatened Robert Alber when Alber turned down $175,000 for his $2000 worth of stock. Johann told Alber'

"People like you who turn down bribes - Wakes Up Dead"!

------ Then, Jack Abramoff gets out early in 2010. All of sudden, Alber's lifetime friend (and co-owner of their Kingman Arizona home) - simply VANISHES into thin air.

Then Robert Alber has to Shoot & Kill a career criminal (see bogus news story - HERE ).

A month before that, 37-year-old Michael Sessoyeff was said to be unarmed when he was shot by Robert Alber after the two argued about a locked gate on their shared property. Alber has since only been charged with trafficking in stolen property after police investigating the murder allegedly found him in possession of a Taser stolen out of a Department of Public Safety cruiser weeks before the shooting.

[br]
----- The news story is a fabrication. The purported stun gun/ taser was NOT found in Alber's possession. A drug dealer came to the Police (who did NOT have jurisdiction over Alber who lived in the county). The Sherrif ruled the homicide justifiable. The media makes it out that Robert Alber is the bad guy; but fails to report that Michael Sesseyoff was a career criminal CONVICTED 36 times. The stun gun was given to the police by a drug dealer who was a friend of Sesseyoff. The drug dealer told the court that Alber was a known fence of stolen goods and that the "Police" promised the drug dealer his kids back from Children Protection Services, if he testifies against Alber. Like Robert Alber would turn down a bribe for $175,000 and then get involved in a $100 crime.

The Drug Dealer then went to jail another 2 years on a new charge.

------ Robert Alber is destroyed, he is in pain all the time, has suffered manic depression and takes pills like water. He sleeps 22 hours a day and his girl Sheryl, is fighting cancer. IT BREAKS MY frigg'n heart and makes me cry even now.

I SWEAR AN OATH HAMERSKI, Abramoff and Alber's traitor friend (Gary Ramsey) will be held accountable!

Here's a sample response from a D.C. Whistleblower organization; about our case

Via Electronic Mail to: laser.haas@yahoo.com

Dear Mr. Haas:

Our staff has reviewed your application and discussed your case internally. Unfortunately, we have determined that Government Accountability Project does not have adequate resources to offer any services to you. As you can appreciate, as a nonprofit organization, our funding is very limited. We are only able to handle a small percentage of the thousands of well-founded requests for our services. Furthermore, the foundation and grantors who fund us have tightly limited the scope of our services. It is difficult for us to decline applicants who have important cases and a compelling need for our help, but we must do so.

Applicants often ask us why our staff cannot at least give some legal advice or review papers to see if they are pointed in the right direction. Unfortunately, because of professional insurance and licensing standards a lawyer is prohibited from giving such help unless the applicant has been interviewed by an attorney who has read all key documents and performed the required legal research. Because almost all legal rules and laws have exceptions, there are no "short answers" to seemingly simple legal questions. Therefore, we do not give legal advice, guidance, and second opinions or otherwise try to point people in the right direction unless we take on a full attorney-client relationship. We are unable to do that for you.

Please understand that our declining of services to you does not indicate that our staff thinks your case to be unimportant or without merit. It simply means that we do not have sufficient staff to take on your case. We encourage you to keep trying to find a lawyer or organization to help you. We recommend finding a lawyer or lawyers through the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA), a professional organization exclusively comprised of lawyers who represent employees in cases involving employment discrimination and other employment-related matters, lawyer referral service on its webpage http://www.nela.org/. NELA also has state affiliate chapters that can also provide a referral for lawyers. You can find information about your state affiliate chapter on NELA’s website. Further, all state bar associations now have "Lawyer Referral Services", usually with toll free telephone numbers. As part of these referral programs, there is often a provision that requires participating lawyers to offer the first consultation at little or no cost. If you have not already, we hope that you will contact your state bar association to obtain a referral. One easy way to find the toll free lawyer referral number in your area is online at http://www.abanet.org/legalservices/lris/directory.html. (Just click on your state). If you would like to view an online list of employment law lawyers in your area, as well as self-help resources see http://public.findlaw.com/employment_employee/.

Keep in mind that every citizen or legal resident of the United States and every state has a right to file his or her own legal case without being represented by a lawyer. (There are a few exceptions, such as False Claims Act "qui tam" cases.) This means that if you can't find a private lawyer, you should consider filing your agency or court claim yourself. If you do so before your statute of limitations expires, then you can later have a lawyer enter an appearance in you case and represent you. But, you need to understand that every case where a person seeks redress or justice within a court or administrative agency has a statue of limitations or other "deadline" at some point in time. Therefore, we urge you to contact a private lawyer, or an agency, to figure out when your claims expire, or to make this determination yourself. Online resources for employment law, both nationally and by individual states are at http://public.findlaw.com/employment_employee/.

We hope for the best result in your case and are sorry we cannot help you beyond this letter.

- - - I've spoken to hundreds of organizations. Senators, Congressmen, Judges, former U.S. Attorneys, City HALL - Chief Federal Prosecutors, the OGE, OIG, OPR, FBI, SEC, Public Integrity Section, State AG's, President's Corporate Fraud Task Force, Federal Election Commission and on and on and on. They all say take the case somewhere else.

Both the FBI (thrice) and DOJ have threatened me.

We damn near elected an Organized Crime Boss as POTUS, who probably would make Colm Connolly USAG and Paul Traub the head of the U.S. Trustee's. Alber's homicide is not the only one. There's a brother of an Asst. U.S. Attorney involved (who then purportedly committed suicide) and John JACK Wheeler (whom I sincerely believe Colm Connolly may have murdered).

When you are a whistleblower - you are worse in the nations eyes than organized criminals.

But -as this thread details - IT IS THE LAW to Blow the Whistle.

[center] Should I have taken the bribe?

NO NO NO

Will we ever see justice

I don't know

DO YOU CARE TO SEE JUSTICE

I hope so
[hr]

Robert Alber, Jack Wheeler, Mr. Markopolos an Dov Avni are Whistleblowing HEROES

I'm just a victim who wants my eToys company and the money they stole back.

You can be sure of 1 thing - I promise you.

Either I'm going down
OR
They ARE!

Romney's Bain owns Clear Channel Communications 800 stations

That's 100 million listeners through the perverted Rush Limbaughs, Hannity's, Becks etc

Because they bought Clear Channel with organized crime profits - they can be RICO Seized

Otherwise - we may lose the Senate in 2014

and then the GOP get the WH in 2016

PLEASE - don't give a damn about Laser Haas;
but do care enough about our country to tell the story

STAND UP and FIGHT FOR Your Country

OR LET IT GO!
