Secretary of Energy Richardson

I’m from a small town of ~4000 souls, Keyser, in West Virginia. 
My family was close with, and worked closely with, Congressman Harley O. Staggers Sr and Attorney Congressman Harley O. Staggers Jr. Congressman Staggers Sr was the Chair of the powerful House Committee on Energy and Commerce from 1967 to 1981.

In 1977, President Carter and Congressman Staggers Sr
founded and funded the United States Department of Energy.

“Make no mistake. We will fight this with everything we’ve got for as long as it takes. We will make BP pay for the damage their company has caused, and we will do whatever is necessary to help the Gulf Coast and its people recover from this tragedy.  Because there has never been a leak of this size, at this depth, stopping it has tested the limits of human technology.  That's why I assembled a team of our nation's best scientists and engineers to tackle this challenge”   President Barack H. Obama

I was one of those engineers. 

US Coast Guard Admiral Thad W. Allen, National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the DWH crisis

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 .  The 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

Those funds went to the fifty million people of five Gulf states to recover and rebuild.  My US Patent 8,391,552 was critically important tool I used.

Prof. Ömer Savaş, UC Berkeley

 Independent experts reviewed the technology of my US  Patent 8,391,552 and found it to be
“ a huge breakthrough ” and “ something the petrochemical industry had sought for 50 years. ”

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.

Lynne, Douglas and Franklin D.

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.

ABOUT MY LITTLE BROTHER’S FEDERAL SERVICE

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.

Doug is now the Associate Director of the
US Food and Drug Administration’s
Office of Global Policy and Strategy.

The FDA is the largest and most powerful regulatory agency in the world.

Dr. Douglas N. Shaffer, MD
Associate Director, US FDA
Office of Global Policy and Strategy

He also served as a doctor treating the US military
at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. 

For his federal service, he was awarded the Presdential Medal of Freedom,

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.

Because of The Attacks in retaliation for causing the $20.8 billion fine,
I tried to commit suicide, used drugs to escape reality, have been in psychiatric hospitals, and was in jail for six months. I have been homeless for many years.

I struggle everyday with the mental illness they caused,
and suicidal ideations are always just a moment away.
