What is it with this one-upmanship bullchit?
Most times, I try not to mention the facts that my efforts to get justice (that most characterize as whistleblowing) has been ongoing — for 20 years.
In discussions — online - with people I’ll likely never physically meet, to avoid being guilty of haughtiness; I will utilize the words “we", or “us" or “victims" as often as possible.
So much so, naysayers try to turn my efforts, upside down — by asking —
……Who is “we"
To which I respond, “we" means the victims of Wall Street schemes and/ or the Federal corruption protecting white collar organized crimes.
Next thing that happens, is that the snide, rude, haters and such , start in on me with bad faith banter, obfuscating — that -
….You haven’t ever had an attorney — or I’m not Bradley Birkenfeld — or the courts have shot me down for being “vexatious" or “insubstantial"…
I just don’t understand why people can’t allow anybody to have their say — without trying to , 1-up, somebody!

What is it with this one-upmanship bullchit?
Examples, infuriating, of 1-upmanship
Theres are real jovial, Aussie comedian, on LinkedIn, named Diana Nguyen; who is very sweet (always videos of her smiling & dancing).
When I like, or promote Diana Nguyen’s entertaining efforts, as she calls her shows “Snortcast" (because that’s her laugh) — people message me with one-upmanship snide swipes, like…
- She’s not really a comedian
- Australia doesn’t produce comics
- Her jokes suck (which is bullchit)
- There’s better stuff on Youtube
The list of (IMO disingenuous) efforts, to 1-Up, go on & on; and they suck.
Another nice lady, on LinkedIn (Alina Panduru) — has this sweet video of a grown man trying to show off his soccer skills (he misses the net), to a 12-year-old girl; but the haughtiness is shamed, when the little girl jukes the guy, and she scores.
Haters try to 1-Up with remarks that
- Anybody can do that
- The guy wasn’t a pro
- Little girl is midget
- Blah, blah, blah
WTF….
Freelance writer, Victoria Tourist, often puts up sweet videos of puppies, monkeys hugging kittens, etc.
A recent, 6 million views strong posting, by Victoria, shows a wounded German Sheppard, doing a walk out of the hospital, to the applauding officers.
Once again, the hating, 1-uppers, try to claim superior ground, with hateful, 1-Up, B.S. remarks, like
- Its only a dog; who arent “real” heroes
- Why waste surgery $$ on a mutt
- No one should applaud animals
- My dog saved a bear
- Dogs don’t know the law
- (neither do most humans)
Shheesshh…..where do they get these hateful peoples!
Any dog in the line of duty — us a hero!
The list goes on and on…
LinkedIn’s Julie O’Connor constantly reports on schemes in Eastern Asia; and people message me to complain -
- Julie isn’t a real reporter
- News articles don’t belong here
- The cases Julie reports aren’t news
- Who cares about Asia crimes
Have they read the News about Malaysia 1MDB Goldman Sachs saga?
Sachs gets punished more quickly, for overseas frauds — far more readily — than here in the U.S.
I just don’t understand all the hate; or the need to hijack somebody’s thread!
Haters even go so far as to try to command a person remove their postings.
W T F???
Why can’t people just let others have their moment?
Nobody is forcing anybody to read a particular thread.
Shheesshh….
And it infuriates me when somebody quips that…
This is a professional site (so is WWE)..
Or…”politics don’t belong here"
Puhhhllleeeaaassseee…
Politics is everywhere — local, county, state & national — and its politicians who Shut/ Locked down our country.
And it is Politicians who frugged up handling the pandemic!
For 20 years now, I’ve been the target of 1 upmanship ridicules.
- You’re not a real whistleblower
- Nobody cares about your loss
- Move on already
- Wasnt a CEO, you were security guard
- Your a vexatious litigant
- Many people have bigger cases than yours
What …the…frigging..frug-up!!!
1st off, whistleblowing is truth telling; and anybody is allowed to blow a whistle.
2nd’ly — despite shadowban locking me down to 13K Twitter followers, for 7 years — I have WSJ, AP and other Editors, following me in social media; which means they care about something.
And nobody has the right to tell me to — Move On — from being a victim of organized crimes.
Furthermore, there’s no court order calling me a security guard!
On the notion there are bigger cases than our, Kay-Bee/Toys"R"Us/ eToys being closed — over 50,000 jobs lost — and a $100 Billiin being stolen; one would be extremely hard pressed to find a bigger one.
Perhaps Steven Donziger/ Chevron..
And, on the argument that I’m a vexatious litigator — YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I AM…
Any victim of organized crimes has both a right — and a Duty — to “vex" the racketeers!
No 2 instances are the same. There’s always going to be a richer and poorer.
You are going to like, or not like, somebody.
Some like doggie pictures — others birds- and others adore mountain scenes.
We don’t hate all cops or politucuans; but we do despises those who abuse power.
The notion that your guy can’t do any wrongs, as if he were Jesus- and my voted for is the Devil — is ABSURD!
People are allowed to post their “Free Speech"
As long as such is not promoting harm — PLEASE — let grandma hokey post pictures of her giraffe snickerdoodles, with pink frosting, on her thread?
Let people have their moment — without trying to pour muddy rain — on their parade?
Can’t we just allow people to have their say; without trying to 1-Up them?
