(62,325 posts)are far more aware of these tactics. If anything, MORE people support Whistle Blowers than they did BEFORE these obvious and nasty attacks on them personally became more vitriolic.
What they apparently have not taken into account is the natural suspicion that arises when people see such a dedicated effort to try to silence someone. It does the opposite, it makes, even people who weren't that concerned before, wonder 'what are they trying to hide'?
And the very fact that the effort is so intense to KEEP the truth from the American people, actually gives me HOPE. I thought we had lost all of our power as a people, that they were too powerful now to stop. But THIS EFFORT shows that they STILL need to fear the people learning what they've been up to. Which means they do not have as much power as I, at least, thought.
