    Whistleblowers are legends, they deserve to be awarded and rewarded. They are the genuine human beings anyone can think of. Because of them , corruption in any firm surfaces. They must be supported and well admired. It takes superhuman guts to stand alone vs a whole corporation.

      Unfortunately, whistleblowers are just like you. I am a whistleblower and I am just an old sinner saved by grace. God is carrying me though the constant harassment. Do what's right. Take your licks. And hold your head up high every tough day. If I can do it, you can do it.

    My father is a whistle blower…it’s just sad because he never seems happy or content with his life. I don’t even think he won the case. He was a pretty crappy and abusive father but I do admire that he tried to change the world for better. Some of these cops and judges are so toxic and need help and my dad tried to help. I am also a whistle blower because I want the world to change.

    I am a corporate whistleblower... The things that have happened to me since blowing the whistle on a former employer are unimaginable. On the day that I resigned as Escrow Manager of a broker owned escrow division owned by an attorney and his real estate agent wife, the attorney said to me, "If you tell anyone about the escrow trust account, etc. I and my friends in high places will make your life very difficult." I knew nothing of organized stalking or government participation in retaliation against whistle-blowers but I can assure you that even government contractors will join corporate interests in retaliatory scenarios against whistleblowers and injured workers too! I have had intrusions into my apartments, food tainted, medical files falsified, stalked on foot and in the car, personal property including my auto vandalized but most prolifically, I have been systematically maimed during medical procedures - that included being brutally forced under anesthesia and being maimed from the base of my skull sown to my tailbone, throughout my back, shoulders, neck, and more.
    I was an independent business women, educated, successful, happy, healthy but now, I am still stalked years later, I live in chronic pain, and I can no longer work. I had no idea that a corporation could call on a criminal government insider and together, they would destroy the health, career, financial stability of a good person who was looking out for the buyers and sellers of real estate in Orange County, CA.
    I began to write about what I was going through and I was contacted by a reader who informed me that I was a victim of "gang stalking" aka organized stalking. I then called the National Center for Victims of Crimes and they too said that I was victim of group stalking.
    To this day, I continue to endure relentless harassment and most egregiously, I am targeted with directed energy weapons that include microwaves, sonic, electromagnet weapons and a plethora of crimes and harassment tactics. Apparently I am now a subject in government non-consensual human experimentation.
    Learn more at www. PACTSNTL. org and Freedom for Targeted Individuals and Targeted Justice on the internet.
    God help us all ... that the military industrial complex would implement programs against whistleblowers in the U.S. as a help to protect corporate criminals.

    It is easy to stand (or hide) behind big names and important people and organizations. It is hard to do the right thing and to be the one who does the right thing even if it is hard. I often wonder what I would do and I really hope I would choose the second.

    • @EvenStarLoveAnanda
      @EvenStarLoveAnanda 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No you wouldn't.
      If you are wondering now when there is no danger, you would not do the right thing when there is REAL danger.
      I know, I will blow the whistle every time.
      Because I do.
      I have been thrown out of more places than I can count.
      Most people are either evil or cowards.
      I am neither.

    It's called a double-blind study, and it's vital to verifying test results. Some people are not given the cure, some people are. They do not themselves know who is who. This is a fundamental requirement of clinical studies, drug trials, and similar experiments. It is definitely a moral dilemma (withhold a potential cure from some people to prove that it works? or give it to everyone before it's been fully tested?) but to consider it a whistle-blower scenario is a wild misunderstanding and immature representation of the situation.
