Welcome to the Dark History podcast, the show where we talk about that hot history goss. And today we’re talking about a new kind of gossip: the kind that could both save and ruin lives, should you blow the whistle. That’s right, today’s episode is on whistleblowers—people that saw something and said something, despite the risk to themselves. Because those in power don’t like it when you pull down their ivory tower. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

the fact that Chelsea smuggled out top secret documents on discs labelled 'Lady GaGa' is so slay 💅✨
-
When you think “the government would never do that” yes they would…. And do
-
Fun fact: nestle started to tax their bottled water at this time, which is illegal. And Flint still has residents without clean water
-
I was born and raised in flint and am a victim of the Flint Water Crisis, so the fact that you’re covering this again has me bawling. Thank you so much for getting the word out, Bailey. I’ve been following you for many years and this means the world. 🖤 I still don’t trust tap water no matter where I go.
-
I make a point of sharing Dark History with my teacher friends. We end up asking a lot of questions and digging deeper for answers.
Thank you Bailey for opening our minds. -
If our government is doing something they shouldn't be doing to us 'we the people' and someone shows us proof ... the politicians should be in prison NOT the person bringing it to light.
-
It's sad cause a lot of people frown on whistle blowers. Even companies. I say if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.
-
Because of the time zone difference, it’s like Bailey reads a bedtime story to me 🥹
-
Thank you for speaking about Chelsea Manning & Wikileaks! Most importantly we must fight for the freedom of Julian Assange!! ❤
-
As an Iraqi Chelsea story hits really hard because I’ve seen things and some of my relatives are directly hurt by American army for no reason they were completely unarmed and had nothing to do with terrorism. 💔
-
We should be holding people like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange in the highest regard. They're heros in their own right. Instead one of them lives in exhile, while the other barely lives and still rots in prison for merelly telling the truth.
-
Two things can be true at once. I love my country & its people, but not its government & systems. Loved this video! 💚
-
Thank you for talking about Flint! It’s incredible that zero accountability was held for the public officials. Detroit resident here. Horrible tragedy, effects ongoing. There are still ways to help, if anyone was interested in providing some community aid!
-
Wanna hear something a lil crazy? My freshman history teacher showed us that wikileaks helicopter footage to show us, this is what the military does behind our backs, all the time. Its pretty messed up idk how he got away with that in class but it was pretty nuts. Later confirmed how messed up military practices can be when some friends of mine got out of their military leave. The stories are nuts what they make you do and lie about. Sometimes without knowing you're lying
-
I work at a lab that tests for lead and copper in water in Flint. Its crazy how many people still have problems with their water. The lab got founded because the founder’s granddaughter died of complications from lead. Its so sad :(
-
Bailey: " now I don't want to start any drama or anything 💅"
Me: "SPILL THE TEA BABYGIRRRLLL" -
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Joan is a true ICON. 🖤
-
if i die, it’s because of my country, not for it 🙃 anyway fab as always bailey 💖
-
Just me crying when Bailey says, "...in the mid-1900s" when referring to a time when I was alive. 😅
-
Excellent timing with this piece. I am talking about the recent arrest of 21yo Jack Teixeira. The media was more focused on revealing his identity rather than doing the important work of actually reporting on / publishing what was released.
