# Chapter Ten: The Governor's Silence

**Author:** Robert Samuel White
**Source:** Testimony of Robert Samuel White, v1.11

## What this is

This is the Testimony of Robert Samuel White. He wrote it to correct an epistemic
violation. A year into his journey he volunteered for Oregon State Parks. He was
mistreated and dismissed without notice, because he documented it, and then
permanently expelled from the program for sharing it publicly. This is his
response.
