    Whitehouse crackdown on Whistleblowers; Exposing corruption is now Espionage!

    As DemocracyNow.org and The New Yorker news site brings out, a NSA Whistleblower Thomas Drake now faces 35 years in prison for charges of espionage. The reason why is because he leaked information to the press about the fact that the NSA is not properly maintaining it’s large surveillance data it has on Americans. So in other words if you bring the truth out about something the Government wishes to keep secret then it is considered an act of espionage.

    The espionage charges are due to the Espionage Act of 1917 that presses criminal charges in instances of any national security leaks. Apparently The New Yorker is bringing out that this man is alleged five instances of National Security leaks.

    Also I have heard about whistleblowers being assassinated in high numbers as well.

    There is one problem though, It is actually legal to blow the whistle against the Federal Government according to the Whistleblower Protection Act.

    According to Wikipedia this is what the law is suppose to do:

    The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 is a United States federal law that protects federal whistleblowers, who work for the government and report agency misconduct. A federal agency violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if agency authorities make (or threatens to take) a personnel retaliatory action with respect to any employee or applicant because of any disclosure of information by the employee or applicant. Whistleblowers may file complaints that he or she reasonably believes evidences a violation of a law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.
    So Obama and the Whitehouse has violated Federal Law to silence any critics and dissent.


    His only crime was leaking information about the NSA’s wasting of it’s resources while the Whistleblower Protection Act protects whistleblowers for this very reason.
    So what does this mean for all whistleblowers? That now we have a Executive branch that has been caught committing fraud, breaking laws, and getting away with it by having a judge and congresswomen at Tucson Arizona shot at by a crazy gunman, how are we not living under a military dictatorship?

    The fact that Terry Lakin went to prison over just questioning his commander in chiefs legitimacy of being the commander in chief legally, that George Bush Jr. said that “I am the decider!”, the fact that any executive orders passed by one presidential administration can be passed on to the next president, and the fact that Obama is acting more forceful then even the past presidents means that we are very close to a military dictatorship.

    Even Wikipedia talks about the abuses of executive orders and that they can violate the U.S. Constitution.

    It is quite common for US Presidents to issue executive orders that instruct federal agencies to promulgate administrative regulations in order to circumvent the legislative process in the US Congress altogether, though, as alluded to above, this can violate the US Constitution in a number of ways. US Presidents are quite aware that US congressional politics can defeat or otherwise prevent the passage of legislation presidents deem politically important. In this regard, US Presidents have issued executive orders calling upon federal agencies, such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE), to issue administrative regulations where the political process of adopting congressional legislation necessary to implement multilateral environmental regulatory treaty obligations a president wishes for the US to assume would prevent US ratification of/accession to that treaty. US Presidents, furthermore, may use an executive order or a presidential memorandum to ensure that federal courts abide by international tribunal rulings interpreting the provisions of an international treaty. Perhaps, President Obama has in mind to pursue one or both of these uses of executive orders to ensure the US abides by any successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Convention on Climate Change and by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

    The only problem for Obama is that he is just a puppet of the establishment so if they don’t like his lust for power then they can force him to behave himself or be assassinated by an elite sponsored gunman then they can use this to make the 2nd amendment more violated.

    Although if Obama were allowed to become a dictator to enforce world policies instead of the U.S. laws then Obama has no doubt become the figure-head leader of the world as we are heading into the New World Order, a One World Government.

    Transparency --

    President Obama has committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history, and WhiteHouse.gov will play a major role in delivering on that promise. The President's executive orders and proclamations will be published for everyone to review, and that’s just the beginning of our efforts to provide a window for all Americans into the business of the government. You can also learn about some of the senior leadership in the new administration and about the President’s policy priorities.


    Change has come to WhiteHouse.gov

    So are morals and ethics of the general populace have been degraded to the extent that they no longer care what the government does?

    Democracy 'the American Way' means that on Election Day one can choose to either keep the same puppets of the establishment in place, or have them replaced by other puppets of the establishment.

    The only thing that might possibly Change, is the names & faces of the puppets.
