The Economist called him the man who beat Communism. 2 Dinesh DSouza extols him as an ordinary man who became an extraordinary leader. 3But people like DSouza are agents of the capitalist ideology, which essentially views people as subjects and which seeks to establish Mammon as the fundamental principle in economic enterprise. 4 DSouza himself used to work at the American Enterprise Institute, a Neoconservative think tank which seeks perpetual wars in the Middle East and promotes a rapacious capitalist system. Reagan was also a defender of the capitalist system, which allowed him to fire more than 1. As E. Michael Jones points out, Paul Volcker and Ronald Reaganwere devoted disciples of Milton Friedman and the Jewish version of laissez faire capitalism which Friedman had been promoting for decades at the University of Chicago. 6Why were the air traffic controllers fired Well, they were essentially asking for decent wages, which arguably would have allowed them to build their families and eventually make the entire nation prosperous. Asking for decent wages, according to the capitalist system, is like asking for your death sentence. Greed and self interest come first, and people or employees are just an afterthought. The man who established that immoral principle in a sophisticated way was Adam Smith. Reagans attack on labor was a complete disaster for the United States, and some observers later declared that It is clear now that the fallout from the strike has hurt workers and distorted our politics in ways Reagan himself did not advocate. 7But Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker thought that Reagan did a great job by firing the air traffic controllers. It sent a message not only across America, it sent a message around the world, he said, that we werent to be messed with. 8In any event, attacking labor was not Reagans only misgivings. His administration was responsible for one of the most disasters in the history of America, the Space Shuttle Challenger. Many people, of course, are unware of what actually happened, and this is why Richard C. Cooks story is quite revealing. Richard C. Cook. Richard C. Cook On January 2. Space Shuttle Challenger exploded about a minute after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts, including Teacher in Space Christa Mc. Auliffe. Subsequent investigations revealed that contractor engineers had warned prior to the launch that the unusually cold temperatures on shuttle systems that morning could have catastrophic effects. Also disclosed was the fact that NASA had known for years that the O ring joints on the shuttles solid rocket boosters were unsafe but planned to keep flying while they were being re engineered. Also concealed were the takeover of NASA by those in charge of President Reagans Star War program and that fact that NASA launched against the concerns of engineers in order to have the Teacher in Space mission in orbit in time for Reagans state of the union address. Over 3. 0 years ago I was the NASA analyst turned whistleblower who disrupted the cover up the space agency had begun of the known causes of the space shuttle Challenger disaster when I released the O ring documents to the press within 1. January 2. 8, 1. 98. I did this because I had been conducting an internal investigation of NASAs longstanding knowledge of the potentially deadly flaws in the solid rocket booster O ring joints and knew, as did agency management, that it was these flaws that destroyed Challenger and killed its seven astronauts. But I could not make myself keep silent when the officials in charge were lying. It simply would not have been the right thing to do. New York Times journalist Phil Boffey won a Pulitzer Prize for the articles he wrote on the documents I handed him at the Times Washington, D. C., bureau. Boffeys articles paved the way for all subsequent news disclosures and investigations. But it was obvious to NASA I was the leaker. I was set up for public attack and humiliation, fled NASA for fear of retribution, spoke and wrote publicly for several years afterwards, then worked with my Challenger files for almost two decades until I published my explosive story in book form in 2. Thus, 2. 1 years after the disaster, on my retirement from the federal service, I published Challenger Revealed An Insiders Account of How the Reagan Administration Caused the Greatest Tragedy of the Space Age. Despite a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly, the book has been almost completely, probably purposely, ignored by the mainstream media and attacked viciously by the usual shills on the specialty web sites and chat rooms. But I have never backed down from what I had to say. My book is the only complete account, either in print or the visual media, of one of the signature event of the 2. No other treatment has penetrated the multiple layers of cover up, not only by NASA, but also by the Rogers Commission and Congress, both of which effectively concealed the deeper political causes of the tragedy that made teacher in space Christa Mc. Auliffe and the other Challenger astronauts not just victims but martyrs. The newly formed Rogers Commission, headed by one time Attorney General and Secretary of State William Rogers, was taken by surprise when the O ring documents appeared in print, as NASA had been proclaiming publicly it had no idea what could have gone wrong. As I learned during the course of the investigation, the Commission itself had been created by the Reagan administration to protect the White House from embarrassing disclosures. The Commission chose to go after the NASA cover up to the extent of pinning the blame on lower level managers who supposedly failed to communicate to higher ups that contractor engineers had objected to launching in cold weather. The Commission also hypocritically boasted it had discovered the exact cause of the tragedythe infamous O ring joints that they learned NASA had been well aware of up to the highest levels. But in its report the Commission protected the top levels from further scrutiny by making the lower level managers scapegoats. This was done deliberately. In fact deals were made. The Rogers Commission pursued the same strategy as other high level inquiries such as the Warren Commission, the Rockefeller Commission, the Tower Commission, and the 91. Commission find someone far down the chain of events on which to pin the blame while the high level perpetrators go free. The mainstream press plays their designated role by reporting as expected while the dust of past events settles.
