Whistleblowers

People who stand up to the overwhelming corruption that has seized control of our lives through the offices of government are demonized, arrested, killed, or thrown in prison on charges that make no sense and they are always denied a trial. Michael Mahon Hastings (1980—2013) was a journalist who was a vocal critic of the Obama administration, Democratic Party, and surveillance state they created. He called it a "war" on journalism which is one reason many see the leftist press seems to only support the Deep State is their attempt to overthrow Trump and always supports the exact opposite of what Hastings was trying to report. The leftist press is always now against the people advocating the surrender of our rights. This has gone way beyond simple liberal v conservative politics. This was an all-out war on journalism and they have surrendered.

Hastings was most likely murdered. His last story was entitled: "Why Democrats Love to Spy On Americans", which was published by BuzzFeed on June 7, 2013. The day before the crash, Hastings emailed friends that he was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hastings said that he was "onto a big story", that he needed to "go off the radar", and that the FBI might interview them.

WikiLeaks announced that Hastings had also contacted Jennifer Robinson, one of its lawyers, a few hours prior to the crash. According to the LA Weekly, Hastings was preparing a report on the CIA at the time of his death which may have been to the unconstitutional surveillance of American citizens domestically. His widow said that her husband’s final story was a profile of CIA Director John O. Brennan.

#1 Even Jeffrey Epstein, who was not a whistleblower but probably a blackmailer, posed way too much of a threat to everyone who was influential. He was certainly not a pedophile which is molesting children pre-puberty. He was taking girls 16 and 17 to most likely entrap various people where he could use that info for political blackmail. The list of influential people in his circle was amazing. There was NO WAY he would be allowed to go to trial. He was unquestionably murdered.

Rubbish! Everyone knew Epstein had a self-esteem problem, few friends, a fear of flying, cash flow difficulties. There was only one way out for him.

#3 Yet the anti-whistleblower in the Impeachment must be protected at all costs!
