– Obama has waged a vicious War on Whistleblowers, the details of which
are insufficiently known to the public. High level security officials,
true American patriots like Thomas Drake and John Kiriakou have been handcuffed, dragged through the courts and jailed. William Binney had
guns pointed at himself and his wife in their home. Chelsea Manning
endures constant persecution and humiliation which meets the bar of
cruel and degrading punishment. Edward Snowden pines in exile. These are
just the highest profile examples. Hillary Clinton was the driving
force behind Obama’s hard line attacks on whistleblowers.
Under Obama, whistleblowers face a total of 751 months behind bars —
compared to 24 months for all other whistleblowers combined since the
American Revolution. The protection of free speech and truth-telling has
been wrenched away under Obama.
