Lots of times folks who are whistle blowers are willing to accept the consequences of their choices. But they can be shut down if they feel an innocent person will be forced to die for them. It's a loan shark - mob type thing... Evil stuff... stuff you would expect from some African dictator. Or maybe a Stalin type.

Or both.

Ah - but you forget!

It is NOT the whistleblower who is dangerous to this regime.

It is the whistle-blower’s PRESS and the woman (man) who dares EXPOSE that whistlleblower to the world who IS dangerous to this regime! It is THOSE people who the regime needs to intimidate and frighten into silence.

Any unknown or deliberately ignored) whistleblower is a harmless whistleblower.
