A thrilling and captivating expose that unveils a Deep State bent on destroying dissent and preserving its power. “Now here I was, post-Snowden, relying on a system President Obama, Congress, and IC leaders had touted as successful and functional. But was it truly working? My case exposed it as nothing more than a sham. Would the CIA and the IC attempt to rectify the situation? Did they genuinely desire to fix the broken system? Or would they persist in employing their illegal bullying tactics to silence whistleblowers? I was determined to take action, offering them an opportunity to correct their behavior.” —From The Broken Whistle The Broken Whistle is a searing exposé that unveils a chilling chapter in American history, a narrative meticulously recounted by Pedro Israel Orta. Plunged into the heart of power and deception, Orta emerges as a force to be reckoned with. On September 23, 2019, his single Twitter thread ignited a tempest, tearing through the sinister underbelly of the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA), which had been perverted for political ends. In this gripping account, Orta fearlessly shines a light on a corrupt system that brazenly weaponized the very process designed to uphold truth and accountability. —As the pages unfold, Orta unflinchingly reveals how the Intelligence Community (IC) whistleblowing process was perverted to target a sitting president, while genuine whistleblowers endured unimaginable torment and abandonment. With chilling detail and unyielding determination, Orta pulls back the curtain on the U.S. National Security Bureaucratic State, exposing the rampant abuse of power by the Deep State, shielded by Congress’s deafening silence. —Delving deep into the heart of darkness, Orta uncovers the unsettling saga triggered by the enigmatic “Ukraine whistleblower,” whose disclosures unleashed a political storm, despite falling outside the jurisdiction of ICIG and DNI, as confirmed by the Department of Justice. These allegations, detached from intelligence activities, were shamelessly exploited—an elaborate ruse orchestrated to manipulate public opinion and orchestrate the impeachment of a president. —Through the pages of The Broken Whistle, Orta lays bare his own harrowing journey, navigating the treacherous corridors of the Central Intelligence Agency. Within these walls, truth becomes an enemy, and those who dare to speak out face ruthless retribution and termination. As Orta’s unwavering voice rises above the cacophony of corruption, readers are led on an odyssey that unveils a bureaucratic machine bent on crushing dissent and preserving its shadowy secrets. —The Broken Whistle is an unapologetic chronicle of one man’s fight for justice—a clarion call that reverberates through the darkest corners of power.

In August and September 2019, the Office of the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community (ICIG) and Congressional Democrats, weaponized the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) process to target President Trump for impeachment. Democratic House Permanent Select Committee for Intelligence (HPSCI) leader Rep Adam Shiff, led the charge, using the ICIG and Inspector General Michael Atkinson to process a disclosure by the so-called "Ukraine whistleblower." According to the Department of Justice Office of legal Counsel, the disclosure did not meet the letter of the law. Failing on the two crucial parts. First, it was not about an intelligence activity. And second, it did not fall under the authorities of the ICIG and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). A serious failure to proceed with such disclosure. By going forward with it, they, Rep Shiff and IG Atkinson, violated the law. Meanwhile, because the disclosure was secondhand information, by its own policies and procedures, the ICIG could not process the disclosure. So in order to process it, they changed the procedures right at the time of the disclosure. Meanwhile, real IC whistleblowers with first-hand information never had the ICIG process their ICWPA disclosures. And the ICIG failed to provide whistleblower protections to IC whistleblowers alleging reprisals.

Liz Gabert from "Life with Liz" covers parts of my Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Intelligence Community (IC) whistleblower case in her radio interview on 29 August 2022. Details are found in her website: https://lifewithliznh.com/ Details of my CIA and IC whistleblower cases can be found at: https://www.pedroisraelorta.com/journal/the-broken-whistle-exposing-a-deep-state-run-amok https://www.pogo.org/investigation/2017/08/whistleblower-lawsuit-charges-illegal-retaliation-dangerous-practices-at-cias-elite-directorate-of-operations https://www.thedailybeast.com/us-intelligence-shut-downs-damning-report-on-whistleblower-retaliation https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2020/05/26/ig-atkinson-weaponized-law-to-help-impeach-trump-but-refused-to-help-real-whistleblowers-n414844 Sadly, it is what it is, time and time again from April 2015 through September 2018 I proposed many easy ways to resolve these issues, but the CIA and IC were HELLBENT on destroying me. They had no desire to resolve anything with many additional law violations committed by the CIA. And Congress did nothing to help. Republicans and Democrats refused to help. So absent any amicable resolutions, I march forward telling the story that was already approved for release to the public through the CIA-approved lawsuit and Publication Review Board approved statement I drafted.

@Americano Media interview by #LuciaNavarro on the #DOJ and #FBI raid on #PresidentTrump residence in #Mar-a-lago. The #Democrats, #DOJ, and #FBI are out of control weaponizing state power against political opposition. Reportedly, the #FBI was at the Trump residence to retrieve sensitive documents which may be classified. Meanwhile, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a home computer to process tens of thousands of classified emails as high as Top Secret SCI. Outside of SCIF and not allowable by security policies. The violations have cost some government employees prosecution, termination, or serious sanctions. In Clinton’s case, the FBI did raid her house despite her destruction of evidence, wiping computer drives, and not turning over materials under subpoenas. Clinton violated the law and the FBI chose not to raid her house or submit her case for prosecution. They gave Clinton a pass. Meanwhile, the FBI has become a goon squad to target Trump and Republicans.

@Americano Media interview by #LuciaNavarro on the #DOJ and #FBI raid on #PresidentTrump residence in #Mar-a-lago. The #Democrats, #DOJ, and #FNI are out of control weaponizing state power against political opposition. Meanwhile, #Congress fails to do oversight to reign these abuses of powers. It is time for #Republicans in #Congress to do oversight. These government abuses of powers can be stopped by de-funding certain government operations. In a worse case scenario, just like we did in Iraq in 2003-2004 with the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), shutdown abusive agencies and de-barr their employees who have abused their powers. In Colombia, South America during the late 200s, their FBI equivalent was caught abusing their powers by targeting the political opposition. The Department of Administrative Security (DAS) was beyond repair through years of abuses that rotted the agency. Solution was to abolish it, prosecute those who abused their powers, and start up a new organization with honorable and loyal employees who would uphold their Constitution. Not political hacks who would illegally use their power to target the political opposition. It is time to do the same in the United States of America.
