Written in the 5th century BCE, 'Antigone' by Sophocles is a tragedy set in the ancient Greek city of Thebes. The play revolves around Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, who defies King Creon's law by burying her brother Polyneices, who was declared a traitor. This act of civil disobedience sparks a profound exploration of themes such as the tension between personal morality and state law, the nature of justice, the role of fate, and the dangers of excessive pride. The play highlights Antigone's unwavering commitment to her familial duty and the gods, contrasting with Creon's rigid adherence to the law. The tragic consequences of their inflexible moral standpoints lead to a devastating outcome, questioning the absolute authority of human law versus divine law.
Ryan Sweazey and Francesca Graham of Walk the Talk Foundation join The Feds this week. The role of an Inspector General is to identify and address misconduct within individual agencies, but instead, their offices have increasingly been used to cover up the misconduct and gaslight the whistleblower. Ryan and Francesca discuss specific examples of IG corruption, the plight of the whistleblower, what can be done to end the IG malfeasance under the Trump administration, and the value that the Walk the Talk Foundation adds to the equation.
Air Force Lt. Col. (Ret) Ryan Sweazey, founder of Walk the Talk Foundation, is a former Inspector General of the Air Force and currently a commercial airline pilot. Army Lt. Col. (Ret) Francesca Graham is the Chief Operations Officer and Chief Advisor for Walk the Talk. Both were assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency and saw incredible dysfunction within the DOD Inspector General’s office. In January 2022, Sweazey launched the Walk the Talk Foundation, with the mission to substantially change a dysfunctional Inspector General system, while advising and assisting victims navigating the treacherous waters of whistleblowing in the military.
