WHO do the FEDs hire to guard Bradley Manning?

Support our troops? Bull-SH#T! 


What the WAR-MONGERS REALLY MEAN IS:   Support our troops UNTIL they do their duty to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.   This brings us to Bradley Manning:

We've all heard about Bradley Manning - the soldier they are torturing in prison right?  Oh - no - not really - the mainstream media, which acts mainly as a loudspeaker for Pentagon propaganda has kept a "lid on" this.


And don't forget:  Those who "dare" to speak out about the insanity and psychopathic nature of his treatment need to either keep their mouths shut or risk "early retirement" to "spend more time with their families."  for example (CLICK.)


"State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley has resigned after publicly crossing swords with the Pentagon over the treatment of an Army soldier accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified military reports and sensitive diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks.The chain of events that led to Crowley’s exit was set in motion Thursday when Crowley appeared at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology seminar and called the Pentagon’s handling of Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is detained at the brig at Quantico, “ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid.”"








Of course the man is right - it is not only stupid - but cruel and unusual.  But that's the norm for the federal government of these united states these days.  Hopefully we can change that.

Bradley Manning is being held in captivity by the US Federal government - and is being tortured:

"Robert VerBruggen declared Tuesday that there was "no excuse" for subjecting Manning, who has not been convicted of a crime, to harsh conditions.Manning attorney David Coombs revealed earlier this month that for at least two nights in row, the Army private had been "stripped naked" for as long as seven hours at a time.Manning has been held at the Quantico brig since July under a maximum security regimen, which leaves him in his cell for 23 hours a day, because authorities say his escape would pose a risk to national security."  Read more here.

No - my friends - the only threat to "national security" (the security of the  citizens of a free republic) - is the sick twisted treatment of a person who volunteered to serve his country and supposedly tried to blow the whistle on crooks embedded in the government that is supposed to be protecting the rights of its citizens.

The threat to society is the notion that we are guilty until proven innocent - Napoleonic law - the foundation of the lying scoundrels that assert the authority to torture ANYONE for ANY REASON.  Adding insult to injury - they assert the right to hold a person without trial - because of this and because of that.

Well - since the corporate-owned-Pentagon-loudspeaker media machine that is mainstream U.S. propaganda-media cannot find their vertebral fortitude to inform the public about a real threat to the citizens of this great nation I suppose we'll continue down this road.  What is the saying?  "You can't fight city hall?"  Bullshit.
You CAN fight city hall - and we will - once informed by a functioning media.
But in the meantime - may I suggest a job applicant to work for our great "protectors" in the federal government?  He's ready to get to work right away:

Photo above for prison guard candidate.  HERE'S PART OF HIS BIO - SEND REQUESTS TO TEXAS FOR COMPLETE RESUME.  HE CAN WATCH BRADLEY MANNING AND ALL THEM AY-RABS YOU'VE GOT LOCKED UP TOO!

"A man accused of kidnapping and torturing a woman for two weeks in a "house of horrors" after she repeatedly rejected him is being investigated in two cold cases of missing women, including his ex-wife's disappearance, a sheriff says.
...Investigators did find a hidden area built to keep someone restrained, Fowler said, describing it as a "house of horrors." The sheriff said it was not yet clear how the woman was able to escape Saturday.
"He held her for 13 days. I don't know how much longer she could have lasted," Fowler told The Associated Press. "She had restraint marks on her wrists, and he had hit her on the head. Her hands were cut up, and her eyes were black."

It seems to me that we have a set of rules for our dictators - and another set of rules for the public.  Although I don't want to torture anyone or anything ever - if I did - I would set my sights on employment with the U.S. Federal government.

If you think I'm kidding - look at this recent local case propagated on the radio here in Charlottesville, VA regarding a former UVA student going to the "big house" for child porn possession:
http://www.newsplex.com/home/headlines/Former_UVa_Student_Convicted_of_Possessing_Child_Porn_108524419.html

"University of Virginia Police have arrested a student on child pornography charges.
Dustin LaPradd was charged with ten counts of possession of child pornography. LaPradd appeared in Albemarle County District Court Wednesday May 20, where his case was transferred to the Albemarle County Juvenile-Domestic Court, because his alleged victims are children. LaPradd will appear in court June 15, 2009.
Working with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, UVa Police executed a search warrant at his residence at Hench Dorm on April 10. A computer, computer hardware and other electronic devices were seized from the dorm room.
The UVa directory lists LaPradd as an undergraduate student in the School of Education, although UVa officials say he's no longer enrolled as a student."  Read rest here.


Don't fool yourselves.  If you think the one locked up now "deserves it" for whatever they did - no trial needed - picture yourself in jail - locked up by your worst enemy on false charges with no opportunity to rebut them in court.  No evidence presented on your behalf.  No nothing.


Those involved in this disgrace to the Bill of Rights, and to humanity in general, need to have THEIR DAY IN COURT.

Rep. Kucinich unable to visit accused WikiLeaks source

REad entire article here
""I put in a request to the secretary of defense, who referred me to the secretary of the army, who referred me to the secretary of the navy, who referred me to the secretary of defense, and still not an answer on whether or not I can visit Private Manning," Rep. Kucinich explained to radio host Scott Horton on KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles, during Friday's broadcast of Antiwar Radio."

Note:  No kidding - we are living in a dictatorship - Congress has no power.  No more Bill of Rights.

Army Intelligence Analyst Charged With Leaking Classified Information

Read entire article HERE.

" According to the charge sheet, Manning downloaded a classified video of a military operation in Iraq and transmitted it to a third-party, in violation of a section of the Espionage Act, 18 U.S.C. 793(e), which involves passing classified information to an uncleared third-party, but not a foreign government. "

Note: So Jack Abramoff is out already and this person getting the truth out to the public will be made an example of. Some justice in this country. He had to take a fall for failed leadership - our officers should be so proud.

Help Bradley Manning: with Vids



Visit whistleblower aid site by CLICKING HERE. From the site:

"bradleymanning.org is intended to be a coordination point for support and aid to Bradley Manning.
Manning, 22, is presently said to be detained by the US military in Kuwait pending charges related to the release of the leaked classified video now known as “Collateral Murder“.
At present, the web services here include this blog, a discussion forum and a wiki.
Your contributions and suggestions are most welcome."

If he's the guy who leaked the video he's a hero. Bradley Manning is charged with leaking the video (embedded below) showing US personnel murdering people in Iraq - including Reuters journalists. What he needs is AMNESTY - after all - who can argue that he's actually done anything wrong?

For those defending the actions of the shooters I would argue that murder is not some recondite concept understandable only to the military-minded. Murder is murder - and I see murder in that video.

Unjustifiable unpunished homicide by the U.S. military lays bare the failure of the U.S. military leadership. Since the leaders cannot perform their duties in line with the values of humankind in general and the American public in particular - that is - the bringing to justice of those guilty of war crimes under their command - someone else must assume the leadership role.

Failed U.S. leaders place the American soldier in a difficult moral position - they know they must refuse illegal orders and work to out the morally deficient leaders who rely on the secrecy apparatus to cover their crimes. This logic morally justifies the actions of Bradley Manning since HIS LEADERS FAILED to right the wrong - in fact they are complicit in the cover-up.

Bradley Manning is one out a million soldiers with the guts to do what is right for America and humanity - at great peril to himself. These are the qualities of a great leader - no wonder the criminals in charge act swiftly to silence him and others who know they should follow his lead. I can only conclude from the actions in this case by military leadership that those who practice what the military preaches - duty, honor, and country - go to jail while the venal lying murderer can count on promotion. What other conclusion is possible?

Broadening ones view beyond this particular case of murder by helicopter - there is NO JUSTIFICATION for ANY KILLINGS by American or other soldiers in Iraq since the entire war, right from the start, was based on lies, deceptions and treachery. There were no weapons of mass destruction, there was no yellowcake, there was NOTHING. Just lies, deceptions, and treachery - all professionally packaged and fed to the mushroom masses of America via Pox News and other treasonous scum in bed with a morally bankrupt and corrupt-to-the-core Pentagon. Retired generals - too old to actually do any fighting- and lacking moral compasses beyond their tax-payer ensured bank accounts happily participated in the greatest fraud on earth. One million Iraqis are dead my fellow Americans and fellow human beings. And who goes to jail? The guy who does what everybody should have done a long time ago.
Everybody needs to understand that the treatment Bradley Manning and others charged with whistleblowing get is the exact treatment you can expect when you've finally seen enough and decide to do the right thing.

The guys in the helicopters do NOT protect me or America in any way. THEY inspire future "terrorists" who watch their kin die at the hands of OUR TROOPS - then come back to exact revenge. This cycle of violence serves only corporations and elites who watch the foot soldiers kill each other off while they rake in record profits and confiscate wealth. Soldiers on both sides end up the unwitting dupes of elites who care not a whit about human life - unless that is - it is their own.

If a family member of those murdered in this video performed an act of violence against America - it would be payback. That means morally justified. And that is exactly what our military encourages all over the world - justifying violence and hatred toward the fascist country called the United States of Amerika. Bradley Manning had the balls to try to stop the madmen running this genocidal bloodbath. Where are the rest of our brave uniformed heroes while their comrade-in-arms is stabbed in the back for doing what every single one of us knows is RIGHT? Where are the rest of you?

The American public cannot be an effective force in ending this war if they remain ignorant of the facts. When it comes to decision making - it is wise to remember the saying "garbage in - garbage out." Videos like the one shown below, and documents demonstrating illegal acts by the madmen expanding these wars based on lies will help bring an end to the senseless killing and wasted lives by dispelling the garbage piped into the brains of the unwitting public. Until these wars are stopped America will continue its spiral into the dark abyss of tyranny. Ending the war is the only way to "be safe." Ending the war is the only way to really "support the troops." Ending the war can only happen with an informed public - whistleblowers are our only hope.

So for the military folks who cannot find the courage to follow Bradley Manning's lead - remember that if we don't stop this war you can live with the fact that all that time you spent earning colorful ribbons and shiny bits of metal to pin on your colorful uniforms - that the shining light that America once represented was drained grey of its lifeblood of liberty ON YOUR WATCH.

Following illegal orders is for NAZIs. Americans stand up and take chances. Americans don't torture and murder. Not real Americans.

So the question you must ask yourself really comes down to: Are you on the side of liberty or on the side of tyranny?

Remember: Freedom is NOT FREE.
