Well, your wikipedia link doesn't counter anything I said.
Furthermore, I browsed a few of the links and that's not a
list of *government* whistleblowers - there are also
people from the 'private' sector, for instance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Peeno
Then, there there's old stuff
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Marchetti
"Marchetti published books critical of the CIA with author John
D. Marks. The books included, The CIA and the Cult of
Intelligence (1973).[4] Before this book was published, the CIA
demanded that Marchetti remove 399 passages, but Marchetti
resisted and only 168 passages were censored. "
lol - so 'only' 168 - and that actually says nothing about what
the guy published. Maybe it was all irrelevant nonsense anyway.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Whitehurst
"was a Supervisory Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Laboratory from 1986 to 1998, where he went
public as a whistleblower to bring attention to procedural
errors and misconduct."
Doesn't sound too impressive.
I'm not going to waste any more time reviewing your
list. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't check a
single link.
All in all there are 150 people in that list, covering
both the public and 'private' sector for 50 or more
years.
So, out of probably millions of people having access to
compromising information you have 150 whistleblowers? That's of
course to be expected from a fascist society like the US.
