<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\nExtradition of UK hacker Gary Mckinnon to the U.S. might reveal that NASA defrauded taxpayers for billions<\/strong> of dollars. If McKinnon loses his fight against extradition<\/strong><\/a> he could face \u201cup to 70 years in prison<\/strong><\/a> if found guilty in the US of breaking into military computers\u201d and NASA computers. Then again, maybe not.<\/p>\n McKinnon claims to have discovered NASA files containing evidence of UFOs<\/strong><\/a> of extraterrestrial origin. Numerous Disclosure Project<\/strong><\/a> whistle-blowers<\/strong> NASA gets over $17 billion NASA's web site has also stated "we are honest and McKinnon\u2019s discovery has helped unveil not only possible fraud at NASA, but also the pathetic cyber-security<\/strong><\/a> in the U.S. also costing billions of dollars. The Obama administration is expected to implement another $15 billion in cyber-security upgrades<\/strong><\/a>. McKinnon could save the U.S. billions<\/strong> of dollars by exposing fraud while assisting in cyber-security upgrades.<\/p>\n If Mckinnon had been a NASA employee, whistle-blower laws might have protected him. But currently these are weak laws. The Whistleblower Protection Act of 2007<\/strong><\/em><\/a> needs passage but it has been held up by the Bush administration for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n According to a Summary of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007<\/a><\/em><\/strong> Coincidentally, the final decision by an UK judge on McKinnon\u2019s fate will occur Jan. 20, 2009<\/strong><\/a>, the same day Barack Obama will be inaugurated as President. That could help McKinnon since members of the Obama cabinet support disclosure<\/strong><\/a> Remember Enron?<\/strong> One could easily conclude that NASA has been defrauding The People of the United States for billions <\/strong>of dollars. Maybe McKinnon should be rewarded, not punished.<\/p>\n

\neach year in annual funding. That translates into about $30 million
\nfrom Denver taxpayers and $245 million from Colorado taxpayers. A
\nsignificant portion of that is used to "Look for signs of life in other
\nplanetary systems" — one of the NASA objectives previously stated on
\nits web site.<\/p>\n
\nethical in all that we do". And yet, NASA requests and allocates
\nfunding to "look for signs of life in other planetary systems", while
\nat the same time hiding, destroying or altering evidence of "signs of
\nlife" that it has already found.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe bill would extend protections to \u2026Federal Bureau of Investigation,
\nthe Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the
\nNational Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency,
\nand the National Reconnaissance Office\u201d and also \u201cto employees of
\ncompanies with government contracts\u201d. It would also extend
\n\u201cprotections to employees of science-based agencies by providing that
\n\u2018abuse of authority\u2019 includes \u2018any action that compromises the validity
\nor accuracy of federally funded research and analysis\u2019 and \u2018the
\ndissemination of false or misleading scientific, medical, or technical
\ninformation\u2019.\u201d The latter extension has NASA written all over it.<\/p>\n
