She speaks out and now she's in prison
The fact is, this woman risked going to jail just so we know the truth about all the crap that's happening. Blackmailing UN members, how low can this government sink to?
Salute to all the patriots out there who are risking there lives to expose the truth about this administration.

Katharine Gun, 29, is accused of leaking information about a US "dirty tricks" operation, said to have taken place before the American-led invasion of Iraq and aimed at UN security council members.
She has said her alleged disclosures exposed serious wrongdoing by the US and could have helped to prevent the deaths of Iraqis and British forces in an "illegal war".
Ms Gun, a GCHQ translator, was arrested in March - eight months before she was charged - at a time when it was reported that America's national security agency, GCHQ's US partner, was conducting a secret surveillance operation, bugging UN delegates' home and office telephones and emails.
The NSA made clear that the particular targets of what was described as an eavesdropping "surge" were the delegates from Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Bulgaria, Guinea and Pakistan - the six crucial "swing votes" on the security council. A memo sent by Frank Koza, a senior NSA official, said the information would be used against the key UN delegations.
