Whistleblower

If you have sensitive information, and are considering blowing the whistle, be advised that the official narrative about "Whistleblower Protection" is basically a lie.
You are recommended to read this essay before proceeding further.

Whistleblower
Interest of	• Brian Martin • National Security Whistleblowers Coalition • United States Office of Special Counsel • Wikileaks
Someone who exposes wrongdoing which they have witnessed or deduced, typically by being privy to inside information while at work.

The word "whistleblower" was coined by Ralph Nader. The insider testimony of whistleblowrs means that they are invaluable in Wikispooks' mission to shed on the different between observed activities and claimed activities of people and groups.

Official narrative

The official narrative is that whistleblowers are welcomed as long as they act in the public interest. Many nations and other large organisations have enacted "Whistleblower Protection" measures specifically designed to protect whistleblowers. These encourage whistleblowing by offering statutory protection and/or financial rewards for those who expose wrongdoing.

Problems

More often than not, so-called "whistleblower protection" is in practice no such thing and less than 1/10 of those who follow official whistleblowing procedures reporting any benefit from them. Researcher Brian Martin describes them as "trojan horses". Since 9/11 in particular, the official narrative is belied by ever harsher treatment of actual or would be whistleblowers, up to and including the murder of the those who show themselves intent on publicising particularly sensitive information.

Support groups

In 2004, FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds launched the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition to try to assist other whistleblowers.

In December 2013, speaking at the CCC conference, purported MI6 whistleblower, Annie Machon, announced that she would be starting Courage Foundation to protect whistleblowers.
