  Virginia Giuffre: Another Casualty of the State Used, abused, and discarded Donald Jeffries Virginia Giuffre died yesterday. They say she committed suicide. They say that about a lot of whistleblowers and inconvenient witnesses. Giuffre was perhaps the most high profile victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. Prince Andrew was among those she was trafficked to. She was a brave person who is hopefully at peace. Virginia was treated like most threats to the rich and powerful have always been treated. She wouldn’t be silent after she was “passed around like a platter of fruit” by wealthy, decadent predators.

In 1981, the great “liberal” senator strongly supported the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, passed in the wake of CIA whistleblower Philip Agee’s disclosures about the Agency is his best-selling book  Inside the Company.  Biden declared that “I do not think anybody has any doubt about Mr. Agee. We should lock him awa...

Thanks to James for contributing this article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Letter from drone war whistleblower Daniel Hale to Judge Liam O’Grady 18 July 2021 “We now kill people without ever seeing them. Now you push a button thousands of miles away ... Since it’s all done by remote control, there’s no remorse ... and then we come home in triumph.” —US Navy Admiral Gene LaRocque, speaking to a reporter in 1995. Dear Judge O’Grady, It is not a secret that I struggle to live with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Both stem from my childhood experience growing up in a rural mountain community and were compounded by exposure to combat during military service. Depression is a constant. Though stress, particularly stress caused by war, can manifest itself at different times and in different ways. The tell-tale signs of a person afflicted by PTSD and depression can often be outwardly observed and are practically universally recognizable. Hard lines about the face and j...
