The Thomas Drake Story: Whistleblowing, NSA Mass Surveillance, & Governmental Waste, Fraud, & Abuse

THE CHARGE with Dennis Metzler

Feb 4 2024 • 1 hr 43 mins

Tom Drake tells his story from inside the NSA as a senior executive, blowing the whistle on corruption, and his struggle to defend himself against the prosecution delivered by the Department of Justice. We then discuss his activism since then, the nature of government surveillance before and after 9/11, surveillance as it relates to privacy, ethics, and the Constitution, and whistleblower protection. We finish up with the moral culture within the intelligence community, the US Congress and Supreme Court as they relate to surveillance, and what US citizens can do.

I, Dennis would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email me at thecharge.info@gmail.com
