Obama Has Sentenced Whistleblowers to 25 TIMES the Jail Time of All Prior U.S. Presidents COMBINED

George Washington's picture




 

The Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined.

This administration has also obtained much longer jail sentences against whistleblowers than previous presidents.

ACLU legislative counsel Gabe Rottman noted last October:

The Obama administration has secured 526 months of prison time for national security leakers, versus only 24 months total jail time for everyone else since the American Revolution.

(So – as of October – Obama had thrown whistleblowers in jail for 22 times longer than all other presidents.)

Today, whistleblower Barrett Brown was sentenced to 63 months in prison.

So now we’re up to 589 months for whistleblowers. That’s 25 times more time meted out against whistleblowers by Obama than all other presidents combined.

But even that stunning figure understates the savagery of the Obama administration’s war on whistleblowers …

After all, Jeremy Hammond – regarded by many as a whistleblower – was sentenced by Obama to 10 years in prison.

The trial of CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling is proceeding right now … and the prosecution is seeking a lengthy prison sentence.

If Edward Snowden or Julian Assange are ever caught, the government will seek very lengthy sentences.

And the government would have obtained lengthy prison terms for high-level NSA whistleblowers Thomas Drake and William Binney – and even “framed” them with false evidence – but they were brilliant enough to able to prove with bulletproof evidence that the government was lying.

Top mainstream reporters also say the Obama administration is more hostile to the free press – the folks who spread whistleblower leaks – than any other in history. And see this.

Indeed, Obama is treating reporters like terrorists and criminals. For example:

  • In an effort to protect Bank of America from the threatened Wikileaks expose of the bank’s wrongdoing, the Department of Justice told Bank of America to a hire a specific hardball-playing law firm to assemble a team to take down WikiLeaks (and see this)

And the Obamanation cut short his state visit to India today; to rush to Saudi Arabia to offer his respects; and get his orders. After all that's his boss and his religious leader; you gotta pay respect to the boss, when you're in the Organization.

One of the few investigative reporters that has actually investigated this administration, Sharyl Attkisson, has a law suit against the Justice Department accusing them of hacking and monitoring her computer and more.  I hope she nails them to the wall!  And check out Matt Taibbi's article in the Rolling Stone about the JP Morgan Chase whistle-blower Alayne Fleischmann.  It will get your blood boiling - not that we need another reason to be ticked off about the TBTF banks.  

We owe the many of the whistle blowers a big thank you for trying to shed lot on all the corruption.  Too bad it doesn't get more MSM press.

Obama worried about pollution? what..you dont have fumes in Washington DC?

And what about all the pollution caused by the industrialised, nuclear-loving west? I am sure it is millions of times greater than all the so called developing/under-developed countries put together.

As Fukushima Radiation Destroys the Pacific, Massive Increase in Shark Attacks in Hawaii This report is here http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2015/01/as-fukushima-radiation-dest... Nukepro first reported on a massive uptick in shark attacks in 2012 and 2013. That report is here: http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2013/12/apex-predators-in-hawaii-ar... Then we didn't hear anything on main stream media in all of 2014. Not one single report. Now that I decided to revisit the issue, the results are startling, the massive amounts of attacks on humans continue. In fact in one WEEK in 2014 Hawaii had three "non-provoked" shark attacks, and 4 shark attacks in a 2 week period. What does that mean "non provoked". Well it means just a totally random attack. If you are spearing fish (I used to do this all the time) you are "provoking the shark", if you are fishing, you are provoking the shark, if you are night diving and grabbing squeaking lobster and crabs, you are provoking the shark. So this is another way for the government to lie about statistics. God forbid that you actually try to go fishing? Sheesh, cannot believe you are provoking those sharks.

Whistleblowers are prosecuted for acts against the laws of the United States, not against the people of the United States. Judges routinely instruct juries that they are only to determine the fact of whether the law as described by the judge was violated. This is a fraud by the judge upon the people.

But its all good now, its all "highly regulated", nothing could possibly go wrong.

Why, that would be another failure of technocrats ;-)

Well, the "reality" vs. "rhetoric" ties in very well with usual Government statements:

"War on Drugs" - helps to maximise CIA profits, AND provides legitimacy for expansion of the (slave labour workforce) "for Profit" private Prison System.

"War on Poverty" - has had just as  spectacular results - the division between the "haves" and "have nots" is now at a multigenerational extreme.

"I will halve the National Debt in my First Term" - so in reality it has doubled - http://www.factcheck.org/2014/04/obamas-numbers-april-2014-update/

"Most Transparent Administration Ever", so what did we really, truly expect?? On the basis of usual Gov-Speak (Say one thing and mean the opposite), El Prez is doing a wonderful job (for those who REALLY run the joint - some of whom are spending their "continuing gifts from the Taxpayer" at Davos I notice).

Thats another thing, Davos, I mean really...lol.

Let me see if I got this straight, the worlds elite are being flown in their private jets to Zurich, dropping off the plutocrats/oligarchs, who will then be helicoptered into Davos, while their jets take back off again from Zurich to be parked at Dubendorf, to wait until summoned back to Zurich, so that said blue-bloods can be helicoptered to Zurich, to depart back to their heated mansions and island retreats as the Swiss air force (such as it is) orbits the area continually providing security, so they can commiserate with each other in comfort over wealth inequality and climate change over foie gras & caviar? 

I for one, am very grateful in them showing how much they really care ;-)

Notice how many Davos commenters have used the phrase "save (or saving) MY Planet"?? I first heard this "slip of the tounge" a few days ago, and I then noticed it being used by others, especially Bill & Melinda Gates, not here, but on previous occasions. Notice the similarity between this mindset, and the "Landlord / Tenant" mindset - "Mustn't let those pesky tenants cause any damage to MY property".

It doesn't take an enormous leap of the imagination to realise that this may well be their mindset - they are the "Owners" (Landlords) of the Planet, the "rest of us" inconsequential mortals being almost relegated to "unnecessary inconvenience" level. I suppose their tolerance will last just as long as our residual usefulness, at which point we'll all be finding out the real intention behind all those ammo purchases . . . . . .
