- Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to journalists in 1971, died June 16 at the age of 92. The Pentagon Papers were 7,000 pages of top-secret documents about U.S. decision-making in Vietnam. Ellsberg faced life in prison and threats from President Nixon for leaking the Papers, but he changed the course of the Vietnam War and became a champion of press freedom. Nixon’s national security advisor, Henry Kissinger, privately said Ellsberg was the “most dangerous man in America and must be stopped at all costs.” In 2017, Ellsberg told The Washington Post, “Almost no single revelation will cause significant change by itself, but in combination with other information and other truth-telling, courage is contagious.” Subscribe to The Washington Post on TH-cam: wapo.st/2QOdcqK

A true American hero, amongst all the warmongers.
I thought they went to war to stop the communists in that area ? Not really war mongering
And people make fun of me and aliek because I am asian American and the situation of now with Russia and Ukraine and China possibly of world war 3. People be paranoid because i am Asian, asian american and so they think that i am a spy or whatever but guess what!, this dude in the video is white!!, he is a back stabber to America, a spy, etc.
Plus, America lost the war of Vietnam, they just wont admit it publicly, they won more body of killing in battle but lost the war.
Now they are persecuting Trump. Sad
@@johnreidy2804Trump and Daniel Ellsberg have (had) nothing in common.
Yeah right when it could have come to a conclusion with something to show for what happened, real hero.
He would have gotten 115 years but Nixon got pardoned. 2 justice systems.
I'm still waiting for those responsible for trying to frame a sitting President with a fabricated dossier to face justice! ...2 tier justice system!
My BIL is a VP for a major defense contractor. When Hillary's email offense was announced, I watched his mouth drop open in shock. Once he recovered he simply said, "Yes. I would get prison time."
@@tinamcnalley2575what's he think about classified docs drama?
@@tinamcnalley2575yet no one can prove that as the Justice dept said it wasn’t worth charging anyone
@@Justmekpc There's a massive difference between "no one can prove that" and "no one WANTS to prove that." Case in point: ZERO accountability for the hundreds of millions of dollars filtered through The Clinton Foundation with much of the money coming from foreign interests while Hillary was SOS. Absolutely NO public disclosure on these funds.
And this is why Snowden should be free. the guy gave up any life in the united states to reveal the truth about ... who again? like always? oh yeah, the government. again.
Totally different.
Snowden is a spy. And an agent provocateur for the Russians.
@@shepherdanton I didn’t think Snowden was a hero. Sorry.
Dont forget Julian Assange
@@khryssitheo614the rapist that Sweden would love to turn himself on?
I wish Julian Assange had been vindicated by the system instead of locked away. The system is so much more corrupt now.
That poor man is still locked away nobody cares that's criminal justice
Instead of strengthening the system, the system has just become completely corrupt. You are absolutely right.
They have had a lot of practice in the last 52 years. The young aids of that time are the same people who are running the country now.
Isn't there anything we can do,for Julian?
lmao, dont leak hundreds of thousands of documents if youre not willing to pay the price for your actions
Thank you for your courage, Mr Ellsberg. I hope you feel completely vindicated.
The truth, the whole truth , and nothing but the truth .
Should we respond with " society can't handle the truth"
A true hero
A man of courage and conviction. He fully expected to be imprisoned or "eliminated" and chose to do the right thing for our country despite that punishment.
I had forgotten that he was a hawk for years, until he started seeing what was realky happening, when the scales fell from his eyes.
Thank you, Daniel Ellsberg.
I bow to you, Sir, e‘en though I can only do so posthumously, and hope that our love and gratitude somehow still reach out to you.
well said. I believe. I'll stand and salute.
This man change the world for the better and saved countless lives. That to me, is the true definition of a hero, even though he was embarrassed by that accolade. Growing up during the Cold War and being raised by elders that had lived through all the events he did taught me well. He was the voice for my fears because they weren’t abstract to me. I will be forever in his debt and my admiration, respect and love for this man will never end. With deepest gratitude always. ❤
Exactly... It's so sad he passed away 🙏
Countless lives were lost when the US withdrew and left their ally South Vietnam to die.
The Northern Communists would end up purging anyone who worked for the government as well as liberal scholars.
He didnt save lives he exposed lies.
This man helped to bring about the end of the Vietnam war.
Yes, but prematurely. You think the Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster? It was nothing compared to Vietnam. We should have stayed and finished that war, but Nixon succumbed to all the war protests and wanted to be re-elected.
Leading to countless deaths as the Communist North overran our South Vietnamese ally who was unprepared for the sudden withdrawal.
The communists would purge all liberal scholars and anyone working for the government including the army.
@@nancyselzer628too late to litigate
He was one of the war mongers who got us into Vietnam, while he was VP to Eisenhower.
Bless your heart
An American hero! Thank you sir for helping ending an unwanted war.
Leading to countless lives lost when our ally South Vietnam was finally destroyed by the Communist North.
Purging all liberal scholars and anyone who worked for the government.
He would be sharing a cell with Assange if he did it today.
Ellsberg is definitely a hero.
I remember Sir. It was so shocking what our President had done. Kim so pleased you were cleared as you deserved. I was a high school girl in Kansas that was shocking behavior of our President to me. I was ecstatic when the Vietnam War ended. Thanks for the reminder of that terrible time. Appropriate with what is going on now. You were and are a great man.

Whew. It's a good thing the CIA doesn't do stuff like that anymore and we've got a good trustworthy president. Anyway, I gotta get back to work. These crayons aren't gonna eat themselves.
CIA doesn’t do stuff like that anymore? Lol 😂
Lol
Many people just disappear or have a heart attack. Excellent service!
A true patriot, RIP Sir...
Julian Assange and Edward Snowden and David Grusch need vindicating the same way.
Model American. Served in the government without compromising the values we hold dear.
History repeats. Over and over.
Thank you, Sir, for taking one for the team.
RIP god speed
Great job Dan!!!
Washington Post and the rest of the mainstream media would be one hundred percent against any contemporary Daniel Ellsberg. This is just nostalgia, since it has no bearing on how the mainstream media works today.
Not nostalgia! This happens more than you think. There are hero’s among us.
I am a Pentagon Papers researcher and I believe there were sections purposefully taken out from March 21, 1967. This date was an extremely important date and the study is missing information from this day. Otherwise it is a really great historical work that every American should read.
What do you think was taken out?
Thank you Daniel. That took courage & loyalty to the American citizens. ❤☮
Bravo sir 🫡. You sir are a true American hero, as well as Edward Snowden, and Chelsea Manning. Although Julian Assange isnt American. I believe he belongs in the same list.
Thank you Mr. Ellesberg for your Patriotism!
You are a true American hero who saved many lives n ended a war which many di not want. God bless you
I don't live in the US but sir, you're a hero 💪🏾
Thanks Daniel, and the South Vietnamese are so grateful as well.
an American legend
We need desperately more people like him now.
He was an amazing man❤
Thank you dear Man.We need more men like you.❤
True hero for democracy. Thank you sir. Let's do that again now with 45- no pardon, conviction and imprisonment!
Humm perhaps we should do something like that
This man is a perfect example of what a true HERO really is.
Sounds like what youtube has been trying to do to me while they use me at the same f****** time
You are real hero and inspiration to all of us ❤️
Imagine if politicians were still held accountable for corruption and lies.
I was a small boy when that was happening back then. It created a massive news cycle that lasted for years. I know because I delivered the newspaper every afternoon and people were waiting for their paper. If they didn't have their newspaper by 4 or 4:30 they would call my house and complain. It was great to be a kid back then.
Great work!!!!
Class of 1972. This was the reason we were doing sit-ins and moratoriums. Then Kent State happened. We lost so many classmates. As the daughter of a retired Marine/Army Sargent Major, I had the full support of my father to participate. He was a republican all his life, but he knew it wasn't a just war.
thank you for this information.
Thank you sir.
If only there was more people like this. Politicians wouldn't dare try to, "silence any citizen," for telling the truth.
Sigh, when the bulk of the government was dependable. Would this happen today?
It’s just unconscionable that people who spot verifiable wrongdoings and in their moral efforts are treated so badly by the very government who is supposed to be for the people by the people. The decades of this bullying, subversive and clandestine behaviour had gone on unfettered and unchecked for decades… it’s criminal! Whistleblowers are treated basically as traitors and to be disposed of…when infact they’re morally sound, loyal, have integrity and are heroes!
Bravo
Great man with a true heart we need more like him and free those who are locked up 😡
you are truly brave, A HERO.
Hero
RIP Daniel Ellsberg! You saved America.
Imagine what they do now. All these years later, the corruption is way worse
Thank you for your Patriotism, your a good American.
Thank you sir!
Thank you for your courage my dad was shot down In 1967
Thank you.
Thank you
The similarities of what Nixon did then and what Biden is doing now is frightening!
Not really.
Unless they want to leave another ally to die against an enemy which has proven to not value human lives.
It is Trump who has been charged with failing to return classified documents and obstructing their return, not Biden. It is Trump who tried to overturn a lawful election, not Biden. In order to function as an adult in the real world you need to be objective, you need to acknowledge facts.
Biden, Bush, all of them the same as Nixon. Agreed
Thank you Sir! 🙏🏽
Good for you Sir.
Truth to power🎉
Thank you SIR
My generation's hero.
Your a very brave man and saved many life’s! God bless you ❤
Salute Sir!
Thank you sir, you are a hero. I was just a little kid back then, and never understood how our soldiers were treated when they came home, all that abuse hurled at men and boys that were given little choice. The peace movement really failed them, when all their rage should have been aimed at the president, Congress, and the Senate. Those were the true villains of that story, they should have all been replaced.
Every time we try to get to the decision making, they shut us up
thanks Dan
Does anyone remember what this person actually did? My memory gets shorter as the years go by. As I recall he released top secret documents to the NY Times, or was it the Washington Post? Was he ever charged with treason?
Truth at last ❤ thankyou
Elvis went to see the president. He didn’t go there to see a crook.⚡️ TCB🇺🇸👍🏻
Great job
Thanks to him for what he did. A truly heroic act.
For telling the truth..
So many criminals filling the SWAMP..
This should be the lesson learned and action taken immediately to remove the entire corrupt government participants from their positions and free the 6 Jan political prisoners!!
Blessings to you
🇺🇲 Keep.speaking the truth. The truth shall set us free. Thank you. 🇺🇲
Bless his memory. I wish it were this simple today.
Tricky Ricky is a True Dicky (I'm talking about Nixon btw)
Weird, Nixon starting withdrawing troops as soon as he was elected. And by the time he left office there were no troops in Vietnam. He literally ran on it.
Im not a Nixon fan, in general, but I hold those who wish to rewrite history to greater a distain.
Should have gotten the whole sentence. You don’t decide to declassify documents for the world to see.
Truly a hero. A man to be admired. How many lives did this man help save! He should be remembered alongside other American heroes such as Washington, Lincoln, and MLK. They all stood their ground for what was Wright, and changed the world for the better.
You're a great man! ❤
A lot of people have a similar situation when they open their mouth and expose corrupt leadership.
I did a report for my high school class on contemporary world problems, and my mother helped me get a copy of the Watergate edition of the Washington Post newspaper... I got a good grade, but my teacher wouldn't give the newspaper back!
Here we go again !!!!
Thank you, Mr. Ellsberg, for your morality, conscience, bravery, love for our country and its people, and for helping us to have hope that somehow our nation might regain its character, honesty, and greatness. Thank you, sir!
Respect you Sir.
And... here we are again. SPEAK UP!!!
Corrupt government 😮😊
Thank you sir, I Salute you 🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽
A true hero.
Every.single.time
hats off to you DAN!!!
The ootion to resign without life in prison was a travesty!!!
Unfortunately we need tp look into all the decision making from post 9/11 til present
A true patriot
