The Sad Fate Of America’s Whistleblowers<\/a><\/h3>\n

Paul Craig Roberts believes\u00a0<\/a>Washington persecutes America’s greatest patriots…<\/p>\n

\n
John Kiriakou is an American patriot who informed us of the criminal behavior of illegal and immoral US \u201ccloak and dagger\u201d operations that were bringing dishonor to our country.<\/strong>\u00a0His reward was to be called a \u201ctraitor\u201d by the idiot conservative Republicans and sentenced to prison by the corrupt US government.<\/div>\n

Manning revealed US war crimes and after years of illegal pre-trial prison abuse<\/strong>\u00a0was sentenced to 35 years in prison for keeping the vow to the US Constitution. Some of the idiot conservative Republicans thought the sentence was too light.<\/p>\n

Tom Drake was ruined,<\/strong>\u00a0and he kept his complaints about NSA illegality within the chain of command.<\/p>\n

Julian Assange\u00a0<\/strong>is confined by the US and UK governments in violation of international law to the Ecuadoran Embassy in London for doing his job and publishing leaked documents revealing the mendacity, immorality, and illegality of Washingtonn\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

Edward Snowden<\/strong>\u00a0is protected by Russia against Washington\u2019s retribution for revealing that Washington\u2019s illegal and unconstitutional spying is universal and includes the personal communications of all of the leaders of Washington\u2019s own vassal states.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The American people accept the persecution of truth-tellers, because they have been brainwashed into believing that patriotism means defense of the government no matter what.\u00a0<\/strong>As truth is so unfavorable to Washington, Americans believe that it must not be revealed, and if revealed, covered up, and those who reveal truth must be punished.<\/p>\n

A country with such a population as this is a police state, not a free country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is an irony of history that a government and a population that believes truth must be covered up at all cost parades around the world acting as if Washington is the history\u2019s agent for ?\u201cbringing freedom and democracy to the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
