Yes, where are all these "proper" whistleblowers at and why don't I know of any of them? For every one that does it "improperly" how many get caught by trying to use the "proper" channels which is actually just a trash chute straight into the abyss?
- yesenadam 5y agoSilenced (2014) is a great documentary about whistleblowers. "Three National Security whistleblowers fight to reveal the darkest corners of America's war on terror, challenging a government that is increasingly determined to maintain secrecy." They aren't famous. IIRC, they each tried to alert everyone in their chain of command, from bottom to top, then went public as a last resort, i.e. were "proper whistleblowers". They all seem to have lost their careers, marriages, homes...everything but their self-respect. It's tough, a neverending nightmare. A very disturbing documentary, highly recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt02827908/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt02827908/
