liberty of speech thoughts:
In recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged. We call it the ‘whistleblower suicide’ disease. There are two possible scenarios:
- The whistleblower was forcibly ‘suicided’ by assassination. We will never know the truth.
- A whistleblower is suffering retaliation, anxiety due to PTSD, and a risk of SLAPP suits, as well as character assassination via fake news media that might result in suicide.
RIP, John Barnett.
