Whistleblower accuses Lockheed of endangering national security

As a last resort a former Lockheed Martin employee created this video alleging "serious safety and security issues relating to homeland security, specially the US Coast Guard."

Transcript of introduction to this video:

"What I'm going to tell you is going to seem preposterous and unbelievable. It may be very hard for you to believe that our government and the largest defense contractor in the world is capable of such alarming incompetence and can make ethical compromises as glaring as I am going to describe. Having said that, I assure you that everything I am stating here is accurate.

I have resorted to creating this video because I have exhausted every avenue I can think of. And in spite of the negative effects it's had, or will have on me and my family, I feel very strongly that I need to take this step in order to resolve these issues. The purpose of this video is to ask for your assistance in helping me resolve several serious safety and security issues relating to homeland security, specially the US Coast Guard."
