#ChrisHedges | Is Iran the 'Leading State Sponsor of Terrorism?' (w/ John Kiriakou) | The Chris Hedges Report

"So really, the complaint that I have with this terrorism designation is that because we’ve manipulated the definition so many times over the years, and we’ve used that designation as a cudgel against countries that we don’t like or whose policies we disagree with, it’s become meaningless to place a group or a country on the list of terrorists."

Thanks for introducing me to #JohnKiriakou.

I'd thought "we'd" #LookedForwardsNotBackwards" and no one had gone to jail.

But now I find it was even worse than that.

#CODEPINK Demands #Biden Pardon the #Activists and #Whistleblowers

Dec. 18, 2024

"CODEPINK calls for the pardon of several political prisoners, activists, lawyers and other individuals who faced targeted prosecution or unjust imprisonment. President Biden has just over 30 days left in the Oval Office where he can exercise his pardon power. In recent weeks, he pardoned his own son, fraudsters, and a former judge who took millions in kickbacks to send children to prison under false charges. We demand President Biden issue pardons to whistleblowers, truth tellers, activists, and land-defenders such as:

#LeonardPeltier
#StevenDonziger
#AssataShakur
#MumiaAbu-Jamal
#JulianAssange
#EdwardSnowden
#JohnKiriakou
#JamilAlAmin
#KamauSadiki
#ShukriAbuBaker
#GhassanElashi

"CODEPINK believes that to build a more just and peaceful world, we have to protect the people and our planet. The United States has a long history of repression, unjust prosecution, and wrongful imprisonment of activists who strive to make the world a better place.

"Figures like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou and other whistleblowers who faced prosecution for telling the world the truth about the US military, CIA torture, or the US surveillance apparatus have done the people of the world a great service. Their bravery and great personal sacrifice shed a light on grave injustices that were being carried out in the name of the American people without their knowledge.

"Indigenous activists like Leonard Peltier who’s case was riddled with recanted statements from key witnesses and other due process issues, is serving two consecutive life sentences at the age of 80. He’s been in prison since 1976 and maintains his innocence.

"Steven Donziger, a lawyer that fought on behalf of the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian amazon against Chevron’s harm to their land, faced prosecution as a retaliation from the Chevron company. Activists defending our earth and our rights and individuals shedding light on injustice play a vital role in our mission to educate on war and imperialism. We send them our solidarity.

"We also recognize the prison system in the United States as a tool of the war economy that disproportionately prosecutes and locks-up poor people and people of color. As an organization, we teach that the war industry, prison industry, and all oppressive systems in the U.S. are interlinked.

"Free all political prisoners, end repression of peace and justice advocates!"

Too right. People who do the right thing seem to be at a disadvantage compared to corporates who don't!

Very occasionally a good #whistleblower can 'buck that trend'. We are reminded of a recent episode of #TheWhistleblowers by #JohnKiriakou in which he interviews an accountant #SherronWatkins, who landed a number of #Enron high-level execs in prison.

She has something even more damning to explain about a certain #DickCheney.

Worth an ear:

@Cdespinosa

The quality of #RT's #podcasts took a dip this week, but among the better ones is #JohnKiriakou's interview with #whistleblower #KatherineGun, who leaked about #spying on #UN representatives for the purpose of #engineeringConsent for the #war on #Iraq.

Imagine how our world might be today if she was successful in her efforts to stop that war.

She talks about her successes, tribulations and possible #missteps in the episode, "Bugging the #UnitedNations".

#wMDs #phonyWar #fourthTurning

It seems #TheWhistleblowers on #RT have a special #Australian double-ep this week.

In the first episode host #JohnKiriakou interviews the founding lawyer for #BlueprintForFreeSpeech, who co-authored a book alongside #JulianAssange and who works to improve #whistleblower legislation and #FOSS — namely #Tor software for #journalists and whistleblowers (#RicochetRefresh and #Gosling).

WRT #whistleblowerProtection, she describes Australia as a "great disappointment".
