ABOUT MY FEDERAL SERVICE FOR MY COUNTRY
This website is about my work for thirty years as a
federal research engineer with the United States Department of Energy
and as a civil rights activist in Pittsburgh.
BORN AND RAISED FOR FEDERAL SERVICE

Reverend Dr. Dallas B. Shaffer, US Army veteran |
My father, Reverend Dr. Dallas B. Shaffer, was an honorable US Army veteran who served on foreign soil; a Professor of Political Science; campaign manager and senior advisor to Attorney Congressman Harley O. Staggers Jr on how the House Judiciary Committee should interact with the Supreme Court; and an Episcopal Priest. My mother, Jennie M. Shaffer, was a high school teacher, a civil rights activist, and Vice President of the West Virginia Education Association. |

THE PITTSBURGH SYMBIONESE LIAR SNAKE
|
Patty Hearst was kidnapped and brainwashed by the Symbionese Liberation Army because her family had assets of $20 billion dollars. I caused an oil company to lose $20.8 billion dollars. The technology I invented and protected with US Patent 8,391,552 would produce royalties far greater than $20 billion. Independent experts reviewed my work with 8,391,552 and found it to be “something the petrochemical industry had sought for 50 year.”
My wife,
Dr Nancy J. Shaffer, a religious scholar and mother of two children with autism, was effectively kidnapped and brainwashed

This is in honor and memory of my friend and colleague of 25 years,
Dr. Anthony Vincent Cugini.
He was the first Director of the Department of Energy’s
National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).
Anthony was a devout Roman Catholic.

He was a victim of Federal Field Marshall Snakes in the NETL Law Department.
The Snakes cornered Anthony into a barren field near the NETL Pittsburgh site
where, on January 8, 2014, he froze himself to death to escape their venomous lies.
He is terribly missed by his family and friends.

ATTACKS BY COUNTY AND FEDERAL FIELD MARSHALL SNAKES
In 2007 I invented a technology to, for the first time, see and measure particle behavior inside commercial chemical reactors, including inside petrochemical processing units. I had been working on that technology for 15 years. I made this breakthrough at the labs of Particulate Science Research Inc (PSRI) in Chicago. PSRI is a research consortium of the thirty of the world’s wealthiest petrochemical companies, including Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC). The petrochemical processing units I was working on at PSRI are used to convert crude oil into gasoline, diesel fuel, plastics and other consumer end-products. Dr. Ray Cocco, Chief Technology Officer of PSRI, wrote a letter nominating me for an R&D 100 Award stating that my invention was “ something the petrochemical industry had sought for 50 years ,” and that the data I was acquiring was immediately being used to improve the performance of commercial petrochemical processing units. Improved performance = increased profits. The annual net income of the worldwide petrochemical processing industry is around $1 trillion dollars. On January 20, 2017, Trump took Office and appointed the Director of the USDOE NETL, Dr. Grace Bochenek, as his interim Secretary of Energy. Trump wanted to give the technology I invented and patented as a gift to the Saudi Royal Family. But because I could identify the theft of my patented intellectual property, I, the inventor, would have to be removed from federal service and silenced. The attacks at the NETL began on February 3, 2017, two weeks after Trump took Office. On January 16, 2018, two days before the program for the Eight World Congress on Particle Technology (8WCPT) was made public, the attacks greatly escalated. Snakes from PSRI and the NETL would present papers at the 8WCPT using the technology of 8,391,552, but without mentioning my name or that it was protected by the US Patent & Trademark Office. They submitted their papers on August 31, 2017. This shows at least six months of premeditation for the attacks on me. On March 2, 2018, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (MBS) meets with Trump in the Oval Office. The murderer of Washington Post reporter Jamil Kasshoggi sitting beside a convicted felon in the Oval Office.
On June of 2018, after 17 months of attacks at the NETL, I was forced to flee from the NETL to protect my life. Then to silence me, NETL Chief Counsel Susan E. Malie had me designated as a “state terrorist.” The Thomas Merton Cener Terrorist? Another of her venomous lies! She then communicated her lies to three of the attorneys I paid to represent me. Then they all betrayed me. Their names are Elisabeth Pride, Chris Stachtiarous and Darren Oglesby. |
I’m from a small town of 4000 souls, Keyser, in West Virginia.

I was on the lead team responding to the Deepwater Horizon oil leak crisis: the Plume Team of the Flow Rate Technical Group of the National Incident Command . Our team was led by Dr. Marcia McNutt. At that time, she was the first woman to serve as the Director of the US Geological Survey since it was founded in 1879. She is now the first woman to serve as the President of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The NAS was founded by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 to serve as pro bono “Advisers to the Nation” on all scientific matters |

THE ATTACKS The $20.8 billion fine was ordered on October 5, 2015, by the Honorable US District Court Judge Carl J. Barbier for the Eastern District of Louisiana. I was immediately attacked in retaliation. I have been under retaliatory color-of-law attacks since the $20.8 billion fine was ordered. One of the Snakes who attacked me was the Director of the USDOE National Energy Technology Laboratory, Dr. Grace Bochenek. She spent most of her career developing advanced weapons for the US Army. All I have is a pencil to defend myself with.

Both of my parents were children of coal miners in West Virginia, the poorest state in our United States. During the Great Depression their families were starving. They were saved by The New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In his honor, they named their first-born son Franklin D.
LIVED TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE / CITIZENS OF ETERNITY They raised me and my little brother to get as much education in the sciences as we could, then to serve our country as federal employees. |

For his education in the sciences, Doug earned a Pharmacy Degree and a Medical Degree from WVU, and a Master of Science in Hospital Administration from Duke University. He entered federal service for our country with the National Institutes of Health’s Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, then served with the US Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta. In 2003, he helped Dr. Anthony Fauci start the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program. To implement the PEPFAR program, Doug lived in Kenya and Rwanda for 20 years with some of the poorest people in the world suffering from HIV/AIDS. The PEPFAR program has now saved 25 million lives.

ABOUT MY FEDERAL SERVICE FOR MY COUNTRY
|
For my education in the sciences, I earned Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degrees in Mechanical Engineering from WVU. In 1986, I entered federal service with the US Department of Energy’s Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center. In 1990, I invented, and in 1994 patented ( US Patent 5,333,044 “Fluorescent Image Tracking Velocimetry” ) an imaging technology to visualize and measure the flow of organic and inorganic particles through power plants, and the flow of blood cells in artificial hearts and lungs. |
|
|
My US Patent 5,333,044 was made possible by my access to nuclear weapons technologies from the US’s and UK’s premier nuclear weapons labs. |
|
Patent 5,333,044 has now saved thousands of lives.
