The only safe place today for a whistleblower is China or Russia.

They can kidnap you like they did to the Venezuelan diplomat (violating the Vienna Convention) who was tasked to help secure food and medicine around the US embargo and sanctions. They can force the landing of your plane on friendly territory of a countries head of state like they did to Bolivia's Presidents Evo Morales plane over Austria (violating numerous UN and diplomatic treaties). They can try to kill you as the CIA planned for Assange as they do regularly (look up the Orwellian Disposition Matrix).

We live in a different era of empire where the corporate media and the corporate journalists are the ones calling for censorship.

The media used to "actively" report on matters like the Pentagon Papers, Church Commission, My Lai Massacre.

Decorated CIA officers like John Stockwell who exposed genocides and massacres in non-white countries were not muzzled (although denied an income from their whistleblowing). Daniel Ellsberg was free to roam.

It seems that the journalists who actively cover the machinations of the national surveillance state are primarily entrepreneurs (substack etc.) and not part of the corporate media apparatus.

The US has been organized in over 600 coup d'etats/regime change operations around the world since WWII. A good book on that is Overthrow by Stephen Kinzer:

Do they bumble becuase of incompetence or is it deliberate by design (and just following the wishes of policymakers):

The "Secret War" in Laos where the CIA waged war and more bombs were dropped than in WWII.

"U.S. aircraft dropped more ordnance on Laos than on all countries during World War II, leaving Laos with about 78 million pieces of unexploded ordnance (UXO) by the end of the war.[101] Casualties continue to mount from UXO dropped by the U.S. and Laotian Air Forces from 1964 to 1973. It has been reported that, between 1964 and 1973, areas controlled by the invading North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao were hit by an average of one B‑52 bomb-load every eight minutes, 24 hours a day. Xiangkhouang Province was the most heavily bombed province. Thirty percent of bombs failed to explode immediately."

The first acronym for regime change in Iraq was OIL: Operation Iraqi Liberation. Later got rebranded to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

We did free Iraqis from living on earth. And for that matter we continue to commit genocide all over the non-white world.

John Stockwell, the former CIA officer, talks how only the non-white world is targeted for genocides and regime change:

Over 4 million people were killed in Indonesia to overthrow Sukarno and in the aftermath. This was considered a major success.It was called the Jakarta Method and that playbook was rolled out to other countries.

We still do the same today all over the world. Our media just ignores it, or lies, or glosses over it, or just puts the blame elsewhere.

Millions were killed in Laos in the clandestine war. More bombs were dropped in Laos than in all of World War II:

“U.S. aircraft dropped more ordnance on Laos than on all countries during World War II, leaving Laos with about 78 million pieces of unexploded ordnance (UXO) by the end of the war.”

Obama got the Nobel and he committed genocide in multiple new countries adding to the legacy of W Bush.
