In 2014, Kevin Lamarque for Reuters reported:
| President Barack Obama came into office in 2009 promising a new era of unprecedented transparency in his administration. But when he leaves office, reporters may remember him for an effort that has largely turned out to be the opposite — and for being what one affected reporter has called the “greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation.”
At a time when journalists’ roles in covering different, critical conflict zones have been under the microscope, renewed attention has come to the case involving James Risen. He is the New York Times journalist who has been fighting efforts by two different Departments of Justice — under Presidents Obama and George W. Bush — to compel him to identify sources from a 2006 book that reveals a secret CIA plan to sabotage Iran’s budding nuclear program.
For the past five years, he has battled the Obama administration’s Justice Department, which in 2009 took a rather unprecedented step of renewing a subpoena scheduled to expire that year. From his case and others the Obama administration has pursued, Risen told The Times’ Maureen Dowd recently that Obama represented a fundamental obstacle for press freedom.
“It’s hypocritical,” Risen said. “A lot of people still think this is some kind of game or signal or spin. They don’t want to believe that Obama wants to crack down on the press and whistleblowers. But he does. He’s the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation.” |

Bankrupt FTX Partnered With Ukraine Government To Raise $200 Million, Deleted Website Shows Donations Used For ‘Media Campaigns’ And Confidential Items. | Natalie Winters
The Ukrainian government partnered with the cryptocurrency exchange platform FTX, which recently filed for bankruptcy, to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to fun its war against Russia.
The Ukrainian government website detailing the partnership, which set out to raise $200,000,000 in various forms of cryptocurrency, has been wiped from the internet following FTX filing for bankruptcy.
Ukraine War and FTX
Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation is listed as an official partner of FTX on the initiative, which claimed to send funds the the National Bank of Ukraine.
The cryptocurrency trading platform’s pro-Ukraine position in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine comes amidst its CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, also becoming the second largest donor to Democrats in the 2022 midterm election cycle.
”The official website for Aid For Ukraine, an initiative that raises funds from the crypto community for the benefit of Ukraine’s military and humanitarian needs, has officially launched. The initiative is powered by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, FTX, and Everstake,” explains a press release announcing the joint effort.
The “Aid For Ukraine” effort utilized FTX services to convert “crypto funds received into fiat and send the donations to the National Bank of Ukraine,” ultimately becoming the fifth-largest charitable foundation assisting in the country’s war effort.
