WHISTLEBLOWER DEFENSE LEAGUE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WBDL CHALLENGES GOVERNMENT SUBPOENA
Washington DC—The U.S.
Government is the New China. The WBDL has filed a motion challenging an
oppressive, unconstitutional subpoena issued by the “Department of Justice” in
the prosecution of journalist Barrett Brown and the investigation into the Project PM Wiki.
“The Department of
Justice is abusing its subpoena power to invade lives, threaten freedoms and
destroy people for simply exploring the truth about their government,” says
Jason Flores-Williams, WBDL lawyer. “Like China, they are trying to control
the flow of information on the internet.”
The government served
the subpoena on CloudFlare Inc., in an attempt to gain protected, private
information about a range of individuals, websites and data. CloudFlare agreed
to give the WBDL time to challenge the subpoena in order to protect the rights
of its clients.
“The internet is the new
frontier for civil rights,” says WBDL attorney Jay Leiderman.* “This entire
indictment of Barrett Brown, like Ai Weiwei, is an affront to democracy. We
have to stop this government from criminalizing dissent in our society.”
The government subpoena
violates First Amendment rights of speech and association, Fourth amendment
rights against illegal seizures and the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.
“This government needs
to be checked,” says WBDL attorney Dennis Roberts. “These are critical constitutional issues
that go to the very heart of our democracy.”
The WBDL is a group of
noted criminal defense attorneys and investigators from around the country who
seek to lower defense costs via grassroots fundraising and support.
The Motion to Intervene and Quash was filed today in federal court in the Northern District of
Texas.

Well, with a chip implant in my brain, I can't say a thing. That is not all they have done to me, but again, they would kill me if I did. They know my thoughts, what I say, hear what I say. I am loaded up. Fair game, even now to any criminal that knows I am chipped. I wish I had funds to support your cause, but I remain homeless to move about. So, you see, I can't even think about what I want to say, (they monitor me 24/7) and I know a hell of a lot. Even just daring, to share what I just shared, will get me punished. So, I remain, mostly silent. Stay safe, stay strong, and one day, I want to ask why I am Targeted? I know why. I just want to know their excuse as to why.
ReplyDeleteSo at the same time you are going to argue that the internet is a public forum and you have a right to privacy. smh. cameras in public dummies, same as the internet, public forum, no public right of privacy.
ReplyDeleteStop telling these people you are experts.
Can you elaborate a bit here? Am I being naive? I have absolute zero hope for me, but hold onto it for others.
