BLOG: Whistleblowing Episodes of The Confessionals to Listen to on National Whistleblower Day
July 30th marks National Whistleblower Day - a day created to commemorate America’s first whistleblower law which was enacted to protect citizens who would step forward to report corruption when they saw it.
The first law was passed unanimously by the U.S. Continental Congress in 1778, during the Revolution, affirming the Founding Fathers recognition of the importance of whistleblowers and the necessity of protecting them.
Well over 200 years later, whistleblowing in our modern culture is a hot button issue with a complicated history that involves moral responsibility, ethical and political debates, and questions about the risks, protections, and revelations of whistleblowing.
To acknowledge those who have risked whistleblowing in the face of corruption and illicit activity, we have collected all the “whistleblower” episodes of The Confessionals in the list below. Tune in to these episodes to listen, learn, and appreciate their stories. A huge thank you goes out to those who interviewed with us!
1) Episode 88: CIA 9/11 Whistleblower Susan Lindauer
In Episode 88, we bring to you a very special show that focuses on the devastating terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Today’s episode features an interview with CIA asset Susan Lindauer, who describes how she worked for the CIA leading up to that fateful day, and what role the U.S. government played in the terrible events that transpired. She also shares with us how her disclosure of the truth resulted in her being jailed, without a trial, for 5 long years.
2) Episode 107: Ex-Catholic Nun Whistleblower Keri Burnor (PART 1)
On today’s two-part show (Episodes 107 and 108), we speak with Keri Burnor! She is an ex-Catholic nun who went through hell after she was sexually assaulted by a priest. After her attempts to try resolving the issue without the court system failed, she filed a lawsuit that went any way but hers. After taking on the Catholic Church, Keri became a marked woman as her phones were tapped, her name was dragged through the mud, and she even had nano tech put into her body during a surgery. The more Keri fought, the more secrets she uncovered, getting too close to the truth for her own good. Now, she lives to tell her amazing story about how she was almost taken out by the highest levels of the Catholic Church and their deep state operatives.

4) Episode 185: Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies
In Episode 185, we have a conversation with Zach Vorhies, who is known as the “Google Whistleblower.” Just a few months ago, Zach started to tell the world about the censorship Google has been conducting through its search engine results. He claims that Google has blacklists in their files that detail what keywords are to be promoted and what keywords are to be suppressed. He has also stated that Google has even gone as far as to delete words out of the dictionary to make political adversaries look less intelligent. And the worst thing about these revelations is that Google hasn’t stopped its censorship since Zach went public - in fact it seems like Google is just getting started.
5) Episode 228: Medical Genocide | China's Organ Harvesting Industry
On Episode 228: Medical Genocide - China’s Organ Harvesting Industry, we speak with Mitchell Gerber who has dedicated the last 20 years of his life to exposing the hidden industry of organ harvesting in China. Mitchell stumbled upon this horrific industry, and could not pretend he didn’t possess a terrible knowledge. So, he has traveled the globe speaking to anyone who would listen to his message. From UK investigators in London, to important connections within the United States, and now with The Confessionals, Mitchell holds nothing back in this tell-all conversation about China’s organ harvesting industry.
