Erik Pevernagie
“Whistle-blowers often face significant personal risks to expose social misconduct. Their actions, grounded in a commitment to truth, justice, and the public good, are a testament to their selflessness. ("Alert. High noon.")”
Erik Pevernagie

Michael Moore
“One thing I learned as a journalist is that there is at least one disgruntled person in every workplace in America -- and at least double that number with a conscience. Hard as they try, they simply can't turn their heads away from an injustice when they see one taking place.”
Michael Francis Moore, Here Comes Trouble

Lionel Fisher
“Curmudgeons speak up because they have to, because it鈥檚 become critically important for them to tell the truth as they see it. Telling the truth is as natural to them once more as it was when they were children. The fact that no one cares to listen is inconsequential. Curmudgeons speak up, raise their voices, stand for something too right to be silent about anymore, whatever the cost, despite a world that deals with what it doesn't want to hear by crucifying the messenger.

Increasingly these days, they're being called by another name: whistleblower.”
Lionel Fisher

Barack Obama
“Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance.”
Obama-Biden Transition Project: Office of the President-elect and Office of the Vice President-elect

“He [Edward Snowden] has been careful with his info, doling it out to responsible news organizations 鈥� The Post, the New York Times, the Guardian, etc. 鈥� and not tossing it up in the air, WikiLeaks style, and echoing the silly mantra 鈥淚nformation wants to be free.鈥� (No. Information, like most of us, wants a home in the Hamptons.)鈥� 鈥� Richard Cohen, Washington Post (10/22/2013)”
Richard Cohen

“The corporate system is interconnected and now share a common invested interest, the ability to control through business, the people. It is an inevitable path the parameters set will take the beast down following the easiest way to collective profits, to control the ones that provide them. It is also logical to protect your own, from ones that are shedding light through Art on the grey water they may have stepped into to reach their fullest profit potentials. It is the logical solution to what would be, just business. So the Matrix story albeit written to lift for all the ceiling of what is possible, has inevitably shined a light on the entire path that was chosen and the pre-chosen road ahead that collective corporations were on creating a separate state of politically connected elite and those seeking award through serving them. A natural progression of what was set in place from the beginning. The flaw was in the design of the collective corporate system, globally intertwined now, and immersed in politics, protecting its own, making the question real this time, how to balance the equation.”
Tom Althouse, The Frowny Face Cow

Steven Magee
“You know when 1 in 2 marriages ends in divorce, 1 in 42 boys have Autism, and safety complaints from the majority of whistle-blower's are not being upheld, that you are living in a seriously dysfunctional society.”
Steven Magee

Adri谩n Lamo
“I wish all those involved in the Wikileaks matter in the spirit of truth (rather than as a cheap opportunity to screw with a .gov they dislike) the very best. I hope that they'll bear in mind that truth is not some pure thing that brings light and scatters rose petals wherever it goes. It can hurt people that don't deserve to be hurt. It has thorns. Treat it gently.
(From an open letter.)”
Adri谩n Lamo

Heather  Marsh
“Between 2010 and 2012, Wikileaks was possibly the largest political megaphone in the world, and I had what was effectively an exclusive ability to provide human rights and political content to that megaphone.”
Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos: Mass Collaboration on a Global Scale

Edward Snowden
“In the end, the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake.
We are stateless, imprisoned or powerless.
No, the Obama administration is afraid of you.
It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised
鈥� and it should be.”
Edward Snowden

Lo Carmen
“Sallie-Anne (Huckstepp) should be celebrated as a system-changing whistleblower, and lauded for her outspokenness, grit and strength. Instead she has been widely trivialised, damned in the media as a 'murdered prostitute/drug addict'. She was so much more than that.”
Lo Carmen, Lovers Dreamers Fighters
