Whistleblower: American Government Funding Terrorism, ISIS IRAQ: Annie Machon Whistleblower Video

I have included a video of Annie Machon as she discloses her first hand experience with the Unites States Government. Plus she explains how this war on whistleblower came to be, as well as the illegal actions by the U.S. government in the ISIS involvement in Iraq today. The ISIS came from no where to become the military strenght in Syria and Iraq.

The Obama administration has already charged more people  (six) under the Espionage Act for alleged mishandling of classified information, more than all past presidencies combined. (Prior to Obama, there were only three such cases in American history.)

That Act has a sordid history, having once been used against the government’s political opponents. Targets included labor leaders and radicals like Eugene V. Debs, Bill Haywood, Philip Randolph, Victor Berger, John Reed, Max Eastman and Emma Goldman. Debs, a union leader and socialist candidate for the presidency, was, in fact, sentenced to 10 years in jail for a speech attacking the Espionage Act itself. The Nixon administration infamously (and unsuccessfully) invoked the Act to bar the New York Times from continuing to publish the classified Pentagon Papers.

Yet, extreme as use of the Espionage Act against government insiders and whistleblowers may be, it’s only one part of the Obama administration’s attempt to sideline, if not always put away, those it wants to silence. Increasingly, federal agencies or departments intent on punishing a whistleblower are also resorting to extra-legal means. They are, for instance, manipulating personnel rules that cannot be easily challenged and do not require the production of evidence. And sometimes, they are moving beyond traditional notions of “punishment” and simply seeking to destroy the lives of those who dissent.

Who do you think is supplying financial aid and arms to this group of militants? Listen as Ann fills in the blanks for all of us. 

Who is Ann Machon? 

Annie Machon (born 1968) is a former MI5 intelligence officer who left the Service at the same time as David Shayler, her partner at the time, to help him blow the whistle about alleged criminality within the intelligence agencies. By doing this, they had to give up their careers, go on the run across Europe (August 1997), live in hiding for a year, and then spend the next two years in exile in Paris. They, and many of their friends, family, supporters and journalists, claim to have been intimidated, and some of them were arrested and put on trial. A death threat was announced against her on a Middle Eastern radio station.

In 2005, Machon published her first book, Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers: MI5, MI6 and the Shayler Affair in which she offers criticism of MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service based on her observations of the two whilst in the employment of MI5.

In 1991 she was recruited by MI5 where she was posted to their counter-subversion department, officially known ‘F2′. It was there she met Shayler. She then spent two years working in ‘T’ Branch, investigating Irish terrorism, before being reposted to the international counter-terrorist division, known as ‘G Branch’. In 1996 she and Shayler resigned to blow the whistle on a series of alleged crimes committed by the spies, none of which were subsequently followed up by the Crown Prosecution Service. These include:

• Secret MI5 files held on the very government ministers responsible for overseeing the intelligence services.
•  
• Illegal MI5 phone taps.
•  
• Lying to government by MI5.
•  
• IRA bombs that could and should have been prevented.
•  
• The 1994 bombing of the Israeli embassy in London, when two innocent people were wrongfully convicted.
•  
• The attempted MI6 assassination of Colonel Gaddafi of Libya

Drawing on her varied experiences, she is now an intelligence expert, author, journalist, political campaigner, media trainer, and PR consultant. She is also a recognized international public speaker on a variety of intelligence-related and civil liberties issues.

In 2006 Machon ended her relationship with Shayler due to his alleged use of hallucinogenics and his claims that he is the Messiah. In 2008 she worked for Make Wars History.^{[citation needed]} Machon is featured in Last Man Out, a 90-minute documentary movie by Jonathan Kerr-Smith about William Rodriguez.

Currently Annie Machon is serving as European Director of LEAP and has announced the starting of a new Whistleblower protection organisation called ‘Courage’ at the 30C3 conference in Hamburg on the 29th of December 2013.
