    We add another name to the Obama wall of shame – those forced to leave the administration for telling the truth.

    So, speaking the truth costs you your governmental job. There will be no one left in Government soon……

    Its not the called the war on terrorism anymore, its now called the war on truth. Crowley, Manning, Assange, McGovern, Ellsberg, – this is the price of telling truths, of believing in freedom of speech, in hoping to make this world a better place, shame on you (not), you are heros.

    Yes, this IS a war on truth. Please join the truth revolution. RevolutionTruth is a global campaign in defense of WL, JA and our fundamental freedoms. We demand access to accurate information and critical truths that profoundly affect our lives. We defend legitimate democratic governance. We stand for consent of the governed.

    RT is a campaign, a website, a short film with Michael Moore, and a future, citizen-driven full scale documentary on this momentous, historic occasion. It is a rapidly growing, populist and very democratic endeavor. We need writers, bloggers, researchers, field producers, composers, fact-finders, and translators. Message me, Tangerine Bolen, on FB if you are interested in being part of the RT team. We launch our second trailer in about 10 days.

    Enough is enough already. This is our time, and people of all parties and diverse backgrounds will NOT just stand by while this madness occurs. It it is up to us to change our world – and we WILL. Join us.

    There have been 200.000 cheering for Obama when he spoke over here in Berlin after election. Not much of this hype is left. To me it was clear from the start that he’s a mere puppy.

    PJ Crowley, Manning, Dan Ellsberg doing the right thing…..

    The lies turned into the weapons of mass destruction!

    Torture is wrong whether it was done in Iraq or done to Manning!

    FREE BRADLEY MANNING!

    I have initiated a signature campaign in germany. Hey, please keep it up in the US! Any smash into the face of truth can only lead to more truth. Keep it up … keep it up … keep it up … truth *is* making her way definitely during these times. We just have to decide on which side we stand.

    Since when exposing criminality is a crime?
    Free Bradley Manning.
    Mr President you have disappointed me greatly.
    Has Potomac river water changed you? It is a shame.
    I had great hopes in you.

    “They must find it difficult… Those who have taken authority as the truth, Rather than truth as the authority.” – G. Massey, Egyptologist

    Bradley Manning performed his primary duty. He took an Oath to preserve, defend and protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and especially the most dangerous kind to America and Americans, DOMESTIC criminals who employ torture and commit war crimes in gross violation of the Constitution and the Nuremburg Principles. As a signatory to the Nuremburg Principles, American government is constitutionally bound to it through the Supremacy Clause. The Eighth Amendment to the federal Constitution strictly prohibits torture. Torture is NOT a form of prevention of alleged self harm, it is what it is, TORTURE and a crime against humanity, a crime against the Constitution and a crime against LIBERTY.

    Free Bradley Manning NOW! Bradley Manning is an American HERO and and an enemy to DOMESTIC criminals who commit war crime atrocities.

    I’m totally happy to see so many of you speaking out for the truth here. In Europe one could easily get the impression that there is no real opposition in the US, but now it seems to me that it’s the two-party-system which makes the opposition remain unseen. Have a real pluralist democracy instead of the choice between crap and crap, and the true opposition will have a chance to be more widely accepted. Not that we have any real progressive government over here. But they are very much under pressure because they have to defend their ground against upcoming competitors.
