Description

David McBride, an Australian military lawyer, was imprisoned for leaking classified information exposing war crimes by the Australian Defense Force in Afghanistan, after all internal reporting avenues failed. His legal team argues that he acted in the public interest and upheld the rule of law, especially by challenging unethical leadership and a shift in rules of engagement that endangered soldiers and shielded war criminals. Guest host Misty Winston and Jimmy speak with attorney and Australian Greens senate candidate Eddie Llloyd about how, despite no prosecutions of those implicated in the war crimes, McBride now faces over five years in prison, a sentence his supporters are fighting in Australia's High Court. McBride’s case is framed as part of a broader global attack on whistleblowers, truth-tellers, and press freedom, with calls for international support and solidarity.

It should be LAW and part of the OATH that if you come across classified information that contains ILLEGAL activity and crimes, that it is your DUTY to report it and make it WIDELY known to punish those responsible. That is how a JUST society would be ran. Not PUNISH those who expose war crimes. They should be celebrated as HEROES. ANYONE saying the contrary should be INVESTIGATED and CHARGED according to the findings. IT ISN'T LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS RAN BY PSYCHOPATHIC CRIMINALS!

Helping Julian for five years was certainly painful, but nothing like fighting against this F'g Genocide. Happy to hear from Julian and sad about David McBride.

About David McBride: if he wins his case we might be able to avoid so many soldiers suffering PTSD and suicide...Not everyone has the courage to stand up to power.

In Government you don't get into trouble for committing crimes, you do for exposing them. Talk about upside down!
