There has never been a more dangerous time to be a whistle blower. Western governments are working in concert to enact legislation that conceals their wrongdoing. During his recent sentencing, drone whistle blower Daniel Hale said, “I am here because I stole something that was never mine to take – precious human life.” Hale was sentenced to 45 months in prison. He joins a growing list, and that list includes Jeffrey Sterling. Mr. Sterling is a former CIA agent who was sentenced to 42 months in prison for leaking. Sterling told his story to host, Ross Ashcroft. - Broadcast on 9 August 2021 - 7 key points 1. In January, 2015, former CIA Officer, Jeffrey Sterling, was unjustly convicted under the US Espionage Act. Despite the fact that Sterling is an Iran expert and Farsi speaker and had a record of success conducting operations, the former CIA employee wasn't given the same career opportunities as other colleagues. 2. Sterling took up a racial discrimination law suit against his employer which was prevented from going forward on the basis that civil rights actions are considered to pose a threat to national security. 3. Sterling was not surprised that he was racially discriminated against even though in his heart he didn't want to believe it. Sterling understood that in order to justify their position, higher ranking officers would 'window dress' their racism. 4. The broader context that underpins this window dressing is the establishments attack on whistle blowers whose only 'crime' is doing the right thing by informing the public of injustices committed around the world in their name. 5. In early 2000, as part of what was called, Operation Merlin, flawed design material for a nuclear weapon component was given to the Iranian government. Sterling was fired from the agency in January 2002 after he raised concerns about this reckless plan to his employer. 6. The CIA subsequently accused Sterling of leaking classified information to the press. The CIA Officer was arrested, put on trial and sentenced to 42 months in prison for what amounted to an act of retribution against him. 7. Governments' use legislation as acts of retaliation to ensure that critical voices who are on the right moral path, are banged up in order to effectively shut them up. Sterling's trial was not only a warning shot to the world, but has set new precedents which have implications for other whistle blowers.
