In 2023, I was a programmer with federal clearance, working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor, when I called out corruption, and became a government #whistleblower

I have been homeless since 2023, and hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, and buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), police brutality, 6 nights in jail. I have slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. Denied public defense in courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges dropped, since it was mere whistleblower intimidation, and I had committed no crimes.

Moved to Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here, and I am homeless here as well, probably because the Japanese government is afraid of granting me political asylum.

All because I took a stand for the people, asked tough questions, spoke truth to power. Such as, why is the government using public money to pay for proprietary software, when #FOSS is available.

Here are some of the questions I raised:

I was a democrat voter.
Now I have nobody left to vote for. I am an #Anarchist.
