I spent time having video calls with LEOs, intelligence agents and military folks over the course of the past 6-9 months. I saw how broken and disjointed and tribal power has become within the world of American authority.

I now know things about how the US government and military work that I feel the public should know.

I could write a book or make a YouTube video. But both of those are to inflexible and risky. I want to spill the beans in a much more permanent and effective way. I would like to help the public understand what is really going on behind the scenes, as best as I have seen.

    I don’t mean to offend, but you probably don’t have anything actionable or even surprising to anybody that’s been there. “The system is fucked!” Isn’t news to anybody. You’d have to have something with concrete proof that an individual or org has done something specific. And talking to individuals and getting their stories would be more worthy of a book than a whistle blower situation. Maybe you have that, I don’t know. But you need files, pictures, or something that proves that it was a known policy or intentional wrongdoing, or you’ll get nowhere. And odds are it’s too broad if you’re getting this from that many seperate pillars of authority.

      This doesn’t answer OP’s question, it’s just pure condescension. If he has nothing then let the journalists figure that out on their own. then OP can deal with the consequences.

        Realism isn’t condescension. I know every one of us daydreams about taking the system down, but fleeing the country and uprooting your life for something that doesn’t get noticed isn’t exactly a win other than getting out of the country. Without knowing exactly what the info is, it’s more harmful to encourage someone to do something drastic and feed into the daydream.

          How is it “realism” when all we have to go on is an intentionally vague post?

          OP needs to go find a reliable journalist. If they have nothing then said journalist will have a laugh. and if OP is stupid about it they’ll also be going to prison.

          OP needs practical advice if they’re serious about this. And they shouldn’t be sharing any details here, this is not a secure enough platform to get away with that

            And people also need to tempur their expectations. OP isn’t taking down the administration, pretending they are is just blowing hot air up both your ass and theirs. It’s a disservice to them and anybody actually trying to move the needle. At MOST it could be a juicy tell-all that won’t get acted upon. Fleeing the country is quite excessive for that.

            Edit: practical advice; touch grass and come back to reality. We can fix most of the problems but we need to do so realistically.

      the amount the pentagon fails its audit by every year is staggering. but given that a lot of it is bribes that they don’t want to put on the books, meh?
