In the early hours of June 6, Israel launched a strike on a UN school in Nuseirat, Gaza, that killed at least 35, including 14 children, according to early reports. The official US Department of State response: ‘Israel has a right to try and target those civilians.’ Spokesman Matthew Miller was responding to questions about the strike during his daily briefing when he made the blunder. According to a clarification later released by the state department, Miller had misspoken, mixing up ‘Hamas,’ with ‘civilians.’ While a footnote is expected to accompany the official transcript of the briefing explaining the gaffe, it is highly unlikely that footnote will accompany the thousands of clips of the incident that are making their rounds on social media, where people are now wondering if he really misspoke, or if he was just saying the quiet part out loud. Miller continued, ‘but they also have the obligation to minimize civilian harm and take every step possible to minimize civilian harm.’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

There have been so many important whistleblowers over the years—big names like Daniel Ellsberg, Edward Snowden, Bradley Birkenfeld, Annie Machon, and Katherine Gunn, just to name a few—that you wouldn’t be wrong to think that official opinion, the opinion of governments, had changed so that these truthtellers would be protected for their revelations. But that’s not necessarily the case. Certainly, many countries have moved forward on whistleblower protection. The European Union immediately comes to mind. But the US and UK are not among them. In most cases, at least involving government whistleblowers, the US and UK cite national security as the reason for not welcoming new disclosures. And indeed, they use the Espionage Act and the Official Secrets Act, respectively, to prosecute whistleblowers. But why hasn’t more been done to protect private sector whistleblowers? Why do people who blow the whistle on waste, fraud, abuse, illegality, or threats to the public health or public safety at Big Pharma, in international banking, inside international conglomerates, and elsewhere still face the untampered wrath of their companies? Where are protections for these whistleblowers? On this episode of The Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou discuss the critical importance of whistleblowers with former whistleblower and whistleblower advocate Jane Turner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

‘Why do USA and other countries keep sending more and more weapons to Ukraine? Is it really out of concern for Ukrainian civilians?
