A Tale of Two Whistleblowing Bradleys

A Tale of Two Whistleblowing Bradleys

One whistleblower, Bradley Manning, who sounded an alarm over state aggression is detained (perhaps under terrible conditions) and set to be prosecuted by the Federal Government.  Another whistleblower, Bradley Birkenfeld, who sounded an alarm over attempts to avoid state aggression was just awarded $104 million by the Federal Government.

He who pays (whether in money or vengeance) the whistleblower calls the “crime”.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
