That question is at the center of a new five-part GroundTruth Project podcast series called “The Whistleblower: Truth, Dissent and the Legacy of Daniel Ellsberg.” Five decades after he became America’s most famous whistleblower, Ellsberg reveals new chapters of his story through exclusive interviews and previous- ly unseen documents, diaries and audio from his personal archive, revealed through a partnership with the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A one-hour radio version of the series “The Whistleblower” will air on GBH 89.7 in Boston and on New England Public Media starting on Sun (6/13), 50 years to the day when the Pentagon Papers first appeared in The New York Times. WHY RUBY RIDGE MATTERS TODAY 3 For those monitoring far-right extremism, the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was no surprise. It had been brewing since 1992 at the 11-day standoff at Ruby Ridge when federal agents attempted to apprehend self-proclaimed white separatist Randy Weaver, and three people were killed.
