War On Whistleblowers: Speaking Truth To Power Was Never So Important (VIDEO)

In the 21st century “speaking truth to power is a criminal act”. That is Mr. Drake has joined former federal attorney The violation of such rights are not only limited to the American people, but to other world citizens People who denounce government abuses of power are immediately identified as traitors, suspects of terrorism and accused of preposterous made up crimes such as aiding terrorism or violating espionage laws.

Government crimes against universal and constitutional rights have been so blatant that some main stream media What few people who either read about or investigate government abuses of power have not been able to discern is that in the case of The three men whose charges were dropped by the United States government, More importantly, the revelations we have learned about have done something that is much more relevant than anyone imagines: It has made us all aware that the governments we live under are actively seeking and implementing new practices to indiscriminately tread on innocent people which they justify with the same old excuse that has been used for a long time: Terrorism.

Anyone would think that after being exposed to public humiliation, the governments that seek to keep whistleblowers from coming forward with more information, would stop doing so. However, it has been quite the opposite. The US government in particular, but also its allies, have been as clear as they can about There seem to be two ideas in the minds of people who work in government and who intend to use the power they hold to violate the law: One, that it is OK to do so as long as they don’t get caught, and two, that even if they get caught, it is possible to justify their violations under the pretense of national security. Of course, both of these ideas are shattered by the simple understanding of two facts: Firstly, that violating universal and constitutional rights is not justified under any circumstance, and secondly, that, even if the purpose of the violations was to serve an alleged ‘greater purpose’, it does not mean that people who committed them are less guilty because of their intent.

“It was on 9/11 that I was exposed to the Pandora’s Box of illegality and government wrongdoing of very significant scale,” said Drake Another program developed by the NSA was called ThinTread. It involved wiretapping and sophisticated analysis of data. The start of this program preceded 9/11. It began back in the 1990’s. According to media reports, “the program would have used a technique of encrypting sensitive privacy information in order to comply with legal concerns, and would have automatically identified potential threats. The sources of the data for this program would have included “massive phone and e-mail data,” but the extent of this information is not clear. Only once a threat was discovered, would the data be decrypted for analysis by agents.”
