Whistleblowing is for the Birds!
The Bottom Line: Whistleblowing is for the birds. Anonymous whistleblowing is the only sensible way forward.
Explanation: Nearly all stories about whistleblowers end sadly. Severe reprisals cause untold damage. Job loss, career loss, financial ruin, marriage breakdown, prison, exile, suicide, ill health and death. And the corrupt are whitewashed, promoted and honoured.
Whistleblowing must surely be done anonymously and with great care. The corrupt must be challenged, but it must be done as effectively as possible and without great cost to the whistleblower. Only blow the whistle anonymously. Take great care. Journalists have a very poor track record, but anonymous whistleblowing to a journalist is the best of all the poor options.
The Corollary: If a whistleblower has suffered greatly then the whistleblower's tormentor must be corrupt.
Our heart goes out to: All those who learned the above truth AFTER they blew the whistle personally (intentionally or accidentally while doing their job).
