Why do we Hate Whistle-Blowers? | Kelly Richmond Pope | TEDxDePaulUniversity

"You can be the one who shapes history, or they can be the one who shapes yours." Very well said. One person can make a difference to so many.

[@KarmasAbutch]

Domo they shaped mine... my professional standing and ability to work is now history. My future is still PTSD.

[@h2oquality2010]

@@KarmasAbutch What happened? Is it from this quarantine going on? This quarantine is detrimental to our ability to make a living for many. So many unemployed.

I am a whistle-blower. My life, my health and financial stability has been under attack. Long story. Whistle-blowers should be embraced! They should be recognized, given a pat on the back and maybe even a reward for their bravery. I have lost almost everything.

[@mahlina1220]

CC I feel your pain- I too went through the same thing. Maybe it’s a turning point in our lives where we can move forward onto better environments. Whistleblowing implies it’s a toxic place to begin with. Time to rebuild. We’re stronger because of this.

[@gardensofthegods]

Can you both please tell me what industry this was in ? Bradley Birkenfeld says he tries to help whistleblowers in the banking industry for reporting people who have hidden Swiss accounts and offshore accounts . I don't know if he helps other kinds of whistleblowers or not but he seems to have some connections and might be able to steer you towards someone who can help you get a little bit of compensation ...you never know .

[@StoicObserverS]

I understand.

[@grammajo1889]

When dealing with little kids, they really have a hard time understanding the subtle differences between telling and tattling. When tattling they are just trying to get someone else in trouble when they did nothing wrong. If rewarded by that and the other person gets called out on it, then the behavior will get worse . Telling is what they should do if another person is causing a dangerous or illegal situation. Too bad adults can’t be taught the difference too.

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

This is what our Education System says about Whistleblowers: TATTLETAIL: a person, especially a child, who reveals secrets or informs on others; a telltale. So basically our EDUCATION SYSTEM NEEDS TO STOP PUNISHING CHILDREN THAT TELL THE TRUTH! Thank you Kelly, I live in a Country (UK) that punishes the Whistleblower. The Bullies are always protected. I would love to talk to you. And thank you so much for sharing this video. I have shared on You Tube and Facebook. :)

Whistle Blowers should ALWAYS BE PROTECTED, PERIOD. The reasons Whistle Blowers are and were fired because they reveal the very corrupt system under which we operate. Those in Power want to keep the POWER attained which makes the WRONG choice RATIONAL to them. ETHICS takes a back seat to honesty. This creates and is the dilemma. Do I face retribution and being fired or go along with the program you know is wrong, illegal or possibly criminal?

[@JAway-ls5oe]

It eventually comes out in the woodwork that someone committed deception or fraud… at least someone had the courage to stand on the right.

[@Msziya]

Loved this so much.

[@notcrazy9600]

I wish I had a whistle blower. Earlier on. People who get mad are the ones that are trying to Fraud you.

So do we? No only politicians and massmedia!

[@richardjohnson5785]

Excellent title and excellent video!

[@gardensofthegods]

Terrible title because good people like whistleblowers and value them

[@joycookingyummyfood]

Thanks for your video

[@samanthachapman8025]

Whistleblowers are Angels

[@jumpropestairs6129]

Whistleblowers fall down the rung of Abraham Maslow's triangle to needing safety at work, versus those on the top who have attained self esteem, and actualization.

[@maddogmcfly5504]

not many comments on this video. people afraid to get involved?

[@gardensofthegods]

People should look for the vids about Bradley Birkenfeld and how he blew the whistle on all those people with hidden Swiss bank accounts not paying their taxes in America... he talks about how corrupt the Department of Justice was.

[@marymungai4429]

I have suffered tremendously for being a whistle-blower because whatever information.i gave was not held confidentially. The Action Officer exposed me. I suffered demotion , transfer, I was drugged faced death threats. I decided to shut up.

[@richardxia1720]

Whistleblowing is cool and all but it’s not worth it. If I get fired from my job and can’t put food on my family’s table, and get fired on top of that, I won’t do it. And here’s a question for ya, why should I whistleblow on the company that actually pays me for the sake of people that I don’t even know?

[@carissapinkston4634]

I whistle blew my career away apparently but let’s see what happens in the next decade

[@allycat0126]

God bless you on this path to authenticity

[@robbinsanford714]

Ok so not sure where this supposed hatred of whistle blowers is coming from.

[@KingHondro]

You are preeeeeeeet-ty…

[@Randomsae]

I find it very interesting how I thought a whistleblower was an insult, like, "Oh, he's just some whistleblower, don't pay much attention to him. He's just making trouble."

[@Make2into1]

Propaganda, like conspiracy theorist is a name to shame those who believe others have answers to their questions.

[@JAway-ls5oe]

You are right but it’s your perception

[@allycat0126]

Remember Julian Assange and the war on truth

[@trulychincher6696]

Yep he’s a former member of a cult… he knows some stuff not only that the man though a sinner has Christ’s blood running through him… insane because so does the person who’s crest hangs on Buckingham palace… the royals we grew to know where of illegitimate bloodlines…

[@WOLFMAN305]

RIP William Cooper, he was the best WB exposing accurate government conspiracy which cost him his life.

[@Grazikon]

He tried to "expose" crazy government conspiracies. What cost him his life was shooting his neighbours and causing injuries, shooting the police and killing one, and refusing to cooperate with the police.

[@WOLFMAN305]

Grazikon I guess that's why most of his predicts came true......because he was "crazy".

[@Grazikon]

What did he predict aside from 9/11? Because there, his prediction was pretty vague: he just predicted something would happen and Bin Laden would be blamed for it. Not exactly very specific.

[@WOLFMAN305]

Grazikon I wasn't going to entertain your ignorance BUT I'm in the mood 😂 he predicted both bush and Clinton would become president, he predicted public mass shootings would be engineered and used as an excuse to disarmed the people to do away with the second amendment. He also said cameras would be put up in the streets to spy on u.s. citizens . Should I keep going moron? It's the 1% vs the 1% vs the 98% idiots like you that choose to remain ignorant to what's going on.

[@Grazikon]

No, you shouldn't keep going. Certainly not with you calling your interlocuter 'moron', 'idiot', 'ignorance'.

[@WeJamWorld]

I thought we loved whistleblowers? Do most of you not support whistleblowers?

[@gardensofthegods]

If you don't know who Bradley birkenfeld is please look for the interviews with him here

[@StoicObserverS]

Most people ostracize them to avoid "guilt" by association.

[@gardensofthegods]

@@StoicObserverS yeah it's a shame . One whistleblower who eventually ended up doing really well is Bryant Berkenfeld who blew the whistle on Americans not paying their taxes on hidden Swiss banks accounts at his bank UBS . He tells some fascinating stories here on KZbin . Another one is the gentleman but I can't think of his name who had worn the SEC and the Federal Trade Commission early on about Bernie Madoff but nobody would listen to him.... he's also here on KZbin .
