ness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) TYT Network — The Largest Online News Show in the World. Occupy Oakland The campaign against whistleblowers in Washington Washington, DC - On January 23, the Obama administration charged former CIA officer John Kiriakou under the Espionage Act for disclosing classified information to journalists about the waterboarding of al-Qaeda suspects. His is just the latest prosecution in an unprecedented assault on government whistleblowers and leakers of every sort. Kiriakou's plight will clearly be but one more battle in a broader war to ensure that government actions and sunshine policies don't go together. By now, there can be little doubt that government retaliation against whistleblowers is not an isolated event, nor even an agency-by-agency practice. The number of cases in play suggests an organised strategy to deprive those in the US of any knowledge of the more disreputable things that their government does. How it plays out in court and elsewhere will significantly affect our democracy. Kiriakou, in particular, is accused of giving information about the CIA's torture programmes to reporters two years ago.

History Matters Home Page TheSleuthJournal - Real News Without Synthetics Occupy Oakland: Thousands gather for general strike Thousands of peaceful protesters gathered in downtown Oakland Wednesday morning to kick off a planned "general strike" to draw attention to the Occupy movement's core concern over economic inequality. The day's actions -- which some believe will mark the largest East Bay protest since the Vietnam War -- include marches on banks, teach-ins, a dance flash mob and an attempt to shutter the Port of Oakland come evening. Wednesday morning, loud music played in Frank Ogawa Plaza, the City Hall square that has been the site of the Occupy Oakland encampment. The camp was fully reestablished just days after the city ordered it razed last week. PHOTOS: Occupy protests around the nation A heavy response to those demonstrating the camp's demolition by riot-geared police lobbing tear gas placed Oakland's movement in the national and even international spotlight. Oakland Mayor Jean Quan has sought to placate protesters by allowing them to return, but many remain angry at her. -- Lee Romney in Oakland

Three demonstrations are planned, one at 9am local time (12pm ET), another at noon (3pm ET), and a third at 5pm (8pm ET).
