This is why I don't salute the flag, thank the troops for their "service," or vote for either of the two major party's bobbleheads. The tip of the iceberg is ugly enough.

Thanks for being one of the reliable sources who engages in exposing this shite.

We shouldn't need "whistleblowers" to "shine a light" on what our government is doing in our name. The "light" should always be on. It's the DUTY of our lavishly paid representatives to keep us informed—not persecuted for knowing what's going on.

I would be stricken with horror if not for the awareness there are unknown forces at work, even as nation states and corporations would destroy us (COVID, Climate, Pollution, Unending War, Broken Politics, Corruption). Catastrophic and pregnant. Such is our Earthlife now.

This is entirely intentional.

Note that the Empire is relying more and more on overt repression, and their excuses for resorting to repression grow ever flimsier.

This is as sure an admission as any that the Empire has lost the argument. "Because I'm the mother, that's why!"

Following illegal orders is the crime. Concealing the crimes for your government is the crime.

I read that Jeremy Scahill is responsible for exposing Hale. True? False?
