On this edition of Parallax Views, imprisoned whistleblower Reality Leigh Winner will be released on November 23rd, 2021. As longtime listeners of the show will know, I've covered Reality's case extensively with both journalist Kevin Gosztola of Shadowproof and Reality's mother Billie Winner-Davis. Reality leaked classified documents to The Intercept from the NSA pertaining to questions of Russian interference in the 2016 election that pitted Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump. Regardless of your opinions on that specific issues there is much to be said about the importance of Reality's case in terms of conscientious whistleblowers and their treatment by the federal government. Joining us on this edition of the program to revisit the case is Brittany Winner, Reality Winner's big sister. In addition to providing a sister's perspective on Reality (including some interesting stories about Seaworld and Pokemon!) that gives a human face to Reality, we also discuss the new documentary by comedian Samantha Bee of Full Frontal (and formerly The Daily Show) which was just published last week. We'll also discuss the effort to grant Reality clemency, the letter campaign to President Joe Biden, Reality's experience with COVID while in prison, and more. Please consider supporting Reality Winner at Stand With Reality.
In his first press conference as president, Joe Biden decided not to address his decision to continue to seek the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange from the United Kingdom. The outcome of the Assange case could set a major new precedent on press freedom, yet the press largely seems uninterested in it. Ryan Grim talks to Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971, and to Billie Winner Davis, mother of Reality Winner, who was prosecuted and imprisoned for leaking confidential documents in 2017.

In the summer of 2017, the then 25-year-old government contractor exposed detailed evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Reality Winner printed out classified U.S. Intelligence documents, hid the papers in her pantyhose as she left work and then put them in the mail to The Intercept, an online new publication dedicated to what it calles 'adversarial journalism'. The report they published was the first piece of concrete evidence shared with the public proving that the United States possessed tangible evidence that Russians hackers attacked American voting systems. After The Intercept published the story, authorities immediately traced the leak back to Reality Winner. She was arrested, denied bail and is now serving five years in a federal prison. Riem Higazi spoke to her Mom Billie Winner- Davis about her daughter and about her unique perspective on the Trump Administration...so far...
Morgan and Katie are joined by Billie Winner-Davis, mother of Reality Winner, an early whistleblower in the Trump administration. While working as a contractor for the NSA Reality shared a document detailing a Russian spear-phishing operation to influence the 2016 US election. After being prosecuted under the Espionage Act she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 64 months in a federal prison, the harshest sentence ever for her crime. She remains behind bars in a Texas prison where she recently tested positive for Covid-19. All the links you need: https://linktr.ee/ForYourMisinformation
Tony and Shane interview the mother of decorated Air Force veteran and whistle-blower, Reality Winner (standwithreality.org). Reality has been incarcerated for leaking documentation about Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Tune in to learn more about Reality's backstory, what is giving the family hope in these trying times of separation, and how you can show your support for Reality.
Reality Winner shared the truth about the Russians hacking in our 2016 Presidential election. Instead of praising her and calling her a hero, the powers that be put her in prison. She has been behind bars since 2017. Reality’s mother, Billie, joins me on the show today to talk about key parts of Reality’s upbringing, how and why she joined the Air Force, how and why she acted heroically by releasing top secret government information, and we spend quite a bit of time discussing her horrible situation in prison. There are quite a few moments during our chat where I thought about how hard it must be for Billie to talk about these things. I’m incredibly grateful for her time and for reliving this nightmare so that we can learn more Reality’s story and so that we can be motivated to do something about it.

On this edition of Parallax Views, an refresher and update on the case of imprisoned whistleblower Reality Winner w/ Reality's mother Billie Winner-Davis. Reality Winner was an NSA contractor who leaked documents pertaining to allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S Presidential Election to the press because she felt it was pertinent information that the public needed to know about. When the federal government traced the documents to Reality she was put on trial and received a sentence of over 5 years in prison. Regardless what you think of Russiagate, whether it was overblown or is one of the most important stories of our time, the harsh treatment Reality Winner has received for attempting to conscientiously alert the public to an issue she believed was of importance is indicative of the dangerous nature of the United States War on Whistleblowers over the past two decades. In addition to giving a refresher on Reality's case, Billie also fills us in on how Reality is doing in federal prison during this pandemic and discusses her concerns for Reality's mental health at this time, the possibility of coronavirus/COVID-19 making it's way into prison, and even tells us a little about Reality's artwork.

In light of whistleblowers being in the news cycle as of late, Parallax Views presents a classic replay of our conversation with Billie Winne-Davis about her daughter Reality Leigh Winner, an early whistleblower of the Trump era. Since the inception of the War On Terror there has been a parallel war waged by the National Security State to silence whistleblowers. Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and John Kiriakou are just some of the victims in the War on Whistleblowers. In 2017 27 year old air force veteran and former NSA contractor Reality Leigh Winner became the first target of the Trump administration's continuation of this ongoing War on Whistleblower after leaking classified information concerning the possibility of Russian hacking in the 2016 Presidential election. Reality's mother, Billie Winner-Davis, joins us for an emotional conversation about her daughter's case and the ordeal Reality has been put through for being a conscientious citizen. Billie Winner-Davis Reality Leigh Winner We begin the conversation with Billie giving us a brief outline of who Reality is as a person and her many passions. From there we delve right into how reality became a whistleblower after leaking classified information concerning claims of Russian hacking in the 2016 Presidential election to the online news outlet The Intercept. She describes how Reality was treated during her interrogation, how she was not read her Miranda rights, and the smears that were made against her during the trial. We also delve into the challenges Reality faces in prison and the ways in which she was not provided with proper care and services. In addition we discuss, in a very emotional moment of the conversation, how the now convicted Paul Manafort's treatment during the Mueller Probe stands in harsh contrast to what has been done to Reality. Moreover, we delve into the real, vibrant human being that most media coverage of the case has missed by speaking to Reality's artwork, activism, and love for figures like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King. We also discuss Donald Trump's tweet seemingly in support of Reality Winner and how he has failed to follow through with that support. Billie Winner-Davis gives her take on the media's handling of the case before we begin to wrap up the conversation by telling listeners how they can Stand With Reality. On a final note Billie describes how, despite the nightmarish nature of Reality's ordeal, both Reality and her family have not had their spirits broken and how they are hopeful for the future.

This week, we interview Billie Winner-Davis, a social worker and the mother of Reality Winner, an air force veteran and the former NSA contractor who provided The Intercept with an NSA report on the Kremlin’s hacking of US voting systems at a time when the issue was still largely being debated and the public kept very much in the dark.
Fanatical opponents of a woman’s right to choose are pushing to criminalize abortion and women's healthcare providers. Historian Johanna Schoen, Rutgers professor and author, talks about when abortion was illegal and the history of coercive policies from forced sterilization to blocking access to sex education, birth control, and abortions. Whistleblower Reality Winner has spent more than two years in prison for allegedly leaking a top-secret NSA document on Russian cyber attacks on software used in some U.S. voting systems. Her mother, Billie Winner-Davis, describes her daughter’s prison conditions and makes the case for why she should be freed. As Donald Trump wraps up his state visit to the United Kingdom, we speak with philosopher and activist Srećko Horvat about the historical lessons we can learn from the guerrilla struggle against fascism waged by the Partizans in Yugoslavia during World War II, as well as the recent surge in extreme right-wing political forces in Europe.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Counterpunch Radio host and political analyst Eric Draitser (guest on episode 27) returns to the show to discuss skyrocketing wealthy inequality, New York progressives victory over Amazon HQ2, and Bernie Sanders announcement that he'll be running for President on the Democratic ticket in the 2020 election. The conversation begins with an observation from your host that our current cultural moment feels like a nightmare that could've been written by Hunter S. Thompson. From there we delve into reports that wealth inequality is approaching levels not seen since The Great Depression. Eric and I discuss how this issue has come to the fore of mainstream discourse as well as examining former Starbucks Chairman and potential 2020 Independent Presidential candidate Howard Schultz's wanting to be referred to as a "person of means/wealth" rather than a billionaire and Kylie Jenner's claims that she her wealth is wholly self-made. Are the billionaires nervous that the 99% has had enough? From there we dive into how the façade of neoliberalism's promises are falling away as millennials find themselves being crushed under the weight of massive student debt and the progressive awakening that it may be creating. This leads us to a discussion of the New York progressives activists who recently scored a huge victory over Amazon HQ2. Eric explains what this victory means for New York as well as what it could mean for progressive activists across the nation. Then he informs listeners of his recent interview with two activists who directly participated in the New York fight against Amazon HQ2. From there we delve into the recent dark money funded billboard attacking Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and anti-HQ2 activists for allegedly damaging NY's economy and costing many possible jobs due to the protests forcing Amazon out. Eric points out that the billboard was bought and paid for by the insidious Trump-loving Mercer Family before going on to critique and dissect the billboard's propagandistic claims. We wrap up on this portion of the conversation by discussing how people, specifically millennials and Generation Z, aren't buying the mythologies of trickle-down economics and other American Dream-style fictions. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez From there we talk the announcement of Bernie Sanders running on the Democratic ticket in the 2020 Presidential election and the rise of young, energetic progressives in congress like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. Eric points out that, contrary to the pearl-clutching of both liberal and right-wing pundits, Bernie and these young congresswoman are not radicals but reformists. He then goes on to argue that, despite this, these progressive politicians represent a threat to the status quo of corporate Democrats and the GOP alike. Additionally, Eric takes on the tenuous claim that Bernie in 2020 because the Democratic Party has moved leftward since 2016 and comment on the "Bernie Bros." slur. Moreover, he says that there is a seldom spoken of support for Bernie Sanders among People of Color, specifically women, that has been deliberately ignored by anti-Bernie Democrats. Eric then goes on to speculate how Bernie may differentiate himself from the other potential candidates in the 2020 Presidential election. He then goes on to wonder if Bernie may take a greater focus on foreign policy and a possible antiwar stance this go-around. Eric offers that Bernie's comments on the Venezuela situation, which has drawn the ire of Florida Democrats, and his stance on Syria may be a sign that this is a direction that Bernie may be going with his campaign. We then take a brief detour to discuss the situation in Venezuela and the effects that sanctions will have on Venezuela's civilian population. Eric argues that both Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have to be extremely careful in how they deal with this matter. Afterwards, we start wrapping up the conversation by discussing how the Sanders campaign isn't about Bernie himself, but rather the energetic movement arising around him. And finally, Eric comments on the importance of truly independent alternative media and his recent blockbuster interview with Billie Winner-Davis, mother of the courageous imprisoned-whistleblower Reality Winner.

Marvelous Monday with Dr. Shirley McKellar and Bishop L.J. Guillory is always the way to start the week! In the post President Obama future we will have to make some important decisions about how we can best and most effectively work together to influence and guide the direction of our country in a way that makes the lives of American people and families better. It is our civic responsibility to stay informed on the issues, pay close attention to the actions and decisions of our elected officials, and educate ourselves and others about the importance of VOTING in every election! Let's work together toward these shared goals on Marvelous Monday! Tonight we will be joined by Billie Winner-Davis, mother of Veteran, former NSA contractor, and whistleblower Reality Winner!
Reality Leigh Winner wasn't one to break the rules. Always a straight-A student, driven to learn on her own eventually working in three additional languages. She chose to enlist instead of accepting a full scholorship at Texas A&M. A Senior Airman in the US Air Force as a linguist who was awarded commendation before her Honorable Discharge. Two years at the Defensive Language Institute led to assignment at Ft. Meade, Maryland with the NSA. But one tour was enough. In February 2017, Reality took an analyst position with Pluribus International, a contractor to the NSA and was assigned to Ft. Gordon, Georgia. She had an obsessive workout regimen, teaching yoga and spinning at the same Augusta gym she worked out at. Then came that day in June 2017. Eleven FBI agents with a search warrant showed up. Reality was arrested and charged with one count under the Espionage Act 1917. Reality has remained in custody since that day. She has been refused bail twice based on a stereotype the Department of Justice uses regularly on whistleblowers. The Trump administration shows no signs of ending the practice, quite the opposite. Despite questions regarding Miranda rights, 6th Amendment issues, false characterization, lack of flight risk and exhaustive classification standards, Reality remains in custody. Billie Winner-Davis is Reality's mother and has been the most visible spokesperson for her. She believes public awareness is key in getting justice for her daughter. Kevin Gosztola is the Managing Editor/Publisher of Shadowproof Press, co-author of "The US vs Private Manning" and has more direct coverage on the case of US v Winner than anyone else. They both guest on this episode of The View Up Here Global to discuss Justice for Reality. https://standwithreality.org/ https://shadowproof.com/
