JTN:
Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to different news outlets, passed away at 92, his family confirmed in a statement.
Ellsberg announced a few months ago that he was diagnosed with “inoperable pancreatic cancer.”
“I’m sorry to report to you that my doctors have given me three to six months to live,” he wrote on Twitter.
Ellsberg was best known for exposing government deceptions about the Vietnam War by leaking the Pentagon Papers to prominent outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Ellsberg, along with colleague Anthony Russo, secretly photocopied a study from the Defense Department that revealed that the Vietnam War could not be won. more
92 YEARS TOO LATE
Back when the left LOVED whistleblowers. Now they want them cancelled and jailed. What a difference 55 years makes.
Our men died needlessly in Viet Nam. I lost classmates to LBJ a Demoncrat.
Had he done this today, he’d be roomiies with that other whistled blower in Russia.
He exposed his true colors by marching in Homo “Pride” parades over the past few years.
I saw him interviewed on TV back in the 1970s…he actually started to tear up about JFKs assassination. I didn’t like JFK getting smoked either, but crying on Nat’l TV is dumb, especially for an ex Marine.
^^^^^ OOPS, that’s my post, not Anon’s.
How does that happen?
