Wonder if Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann etc will even touch this story and the support of Bradley Manning? I have come to believe that for the MSM to cover a rally that takes place in the states folks should hold the rally/protest in Iran. Because that is the only way Rachel and others will cover it. Unless it is a gay rights issue. On Human rights Rachel is rather narrowly focused

I support Bradley Manning as a true Hero. I knew there were lies being told about the war, we all did. Remember? Weapons of Mass destruction? There were none. Bush and everyone involved knew that. And yet they lied to the American people and declared war.

Now, we have this courageous, young soldier. Who had the guts to blow the whistle on what is REALLY going on over there. I pray for him. I’m afraid there is no length our “government” won’t go to silence him. We MUST stand up and fight for him. He is imprisoned for standing up and fighting for TRUTH.

Punitive Articles of the UCMJ
Article 106a—Espionage

(3) Espionage as a capital offense. Capital punishment is authorized if the government alleges and proves that the offense directly concerned (1) nuclear weaponry, military spacecraft or satellites, early warning systems, or other means of defense or retaliation against large scale attack, (2) war plans, (3) communications intelligence or cryptographic in-formation, or (4) any other major weapons system or major element of defense strategy. See R.C.M. 1004 concerning sentencing proceedings in capital cases.

(c) A sentence of death may be adjudged by a court-martial for an offense under this section (article) only if the members unanimously find, beyond a reasonable doubt, one or more of the following aggravating factors:

(1) The accused has been convicted of another offense involving espionage or treason for which either a sentence of death or imprisonment for life was authorized by statute.

“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.” -Thomas Jefferson

Dear Bradley,

Thank you for exposing this racist/evil war. Maybe with this we can stop this sick Military Congressional Industrial Complex that murders around the world in the name of divide, conquer and greed. You are a true warrior that looks out for his fellow man.

I will continue to use my Courage to Resist shirt and cap in your honor. May the Great Spirit keep you safe. I will support you in any way I can and spread the word.

In Spirit,
Josie Tamez-Maracle

Since Mr. Manning was arrested, I’ve wondered and worried for him. I served in Vietnam. By UN count, we killed 640,000 Vietnamese soldiers, 2 million civilians in the North and 2 million civilians in the South. We wounded 1.1 million Vietnamese soldiers and killed 58,000+ US citizens under the age of 40 and wounded a little more then 300,000.
To keep Vietnam from making Southeast Asia Communist, ostensibly was the reason. Vietnam has continued a Communist Country and South East Asia never has become Communist despite the US losing the war. Hence the reasoning was not only distorted, it had to be to support those enriching themselves thru that war.
THose same companies have directors, VPs and CEOs who belong to CFR, Trilateral COmmission, High Degree Masonry, Skull & Bones and chairs of various sister companies that enrich them.
But the saddest tale, is that they also own all of the major media within the Western World. New York TImes, Washington Post, Google, Yahoo, MSNBC etc would never have informed the public of these dastardly secret murders, instead they would have dutifully turned the documents over to the CIA and Pentagon in order to keep up thier murders in secret.
May God allow the USA a few more Mr. Mannings. Otherwise, the 800+ FEMA camps are slated for use VERY SOON on the American people who are a threat to these bastards.

While I do not agree with manning and most of the support for him here, my question and please do not take this as an attempt to slam, is to all supporters…where do you go now with this new insight and “truth” what will each of you do to bring about change in this war/country?

While I do not support this particular cause, my larger fear is that we have become a complacent nation. I fear within a week or two all this will blow over and we will go back to our daily BS. What will you do in your power to bring about change?

It’s a simple question…my feeling is that most are all worked up and can type long rants but NO action will be taken from this.

What are you dong t change this country/government?

You are a hero Bradley Manning. The government and mainstream media are the criminals and terrorists. Thanks for doing the right thing. I will pray for your freedom.

The walls of deception and fallacies constructed by the ones in power are slowly starting to crumble, we need more people in the world like Bradly Manning or we will forever be enslaved in a false reality. I hope the best for Bradly.

We truly live in a fascist state now. Think about it for a sec. They are controlling the message and altering it to fool the people who provide them with power into supporting their schemes.

We always need to fight back against the rights usurping power of a corrupt governing and economic class.

I support you Bradley and consider you among the heroes of all mankind for all time. You will spend your entire young adult life in prison and be released to the twilight of your lifetime. This was the price paid by you on behalf of everyone everywhere to ensure that the veil was lifted to expose the evil and manipulating ways that our government and their corporate overlords exert on our lives and our freedoms.
