Whistle-blowers/people with a conscience, are our heroes, what keeps democracy/decency alive. Thank you to all of you.

Bonsoir. Bradley Manning, vous me réconciliez avec le genre humain, vous me réconciliez avec moi-même. Merci de nous élever, très haut, au-dessus de la misérable condition qui nous est imposée par les soit-disant puissants de ce monde. Vous n’êtes pas seul, nous sommes des millions qui vous aimons pour ce que vous avez fait. “Et pourtant, Elle tourne.. Against our minds,they have no weapons, and we shall overcome..

“Truth telling in the defense of Life and Liberty, when the nation’s Capitol has become entangled in lies and corrupted beyond reform; when public servants entrusted and pledged by sacred oath to uphold and defend the Constitution instead by their actions mock it, and, under the sickening pretense of ‘National Security’, daily spill the blood of innocents upon it; when the truth tellers among you are vilified and persecuted for exposing the ignoble deeds of tyrant power; this truth telling is then the most noble, heroic, and highest form of patriotism, and embodies the very heart and soul of the First Amendment.”

Unlike invasion, assassination, and dozen similar abuses, whistle-blowing is not a crime under US law (as twisted as it gets some time). As in its wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and who-knows-where-else, the US government has flouted domestic and international law in practically every step of its persecution of Manning. It is this abuse of government power (the kind which produces the equivalent of a Boston bombing every few weeks in several Middle Eastern countries, sometimes even more frequently) which make whistle-blowers like Manning so desperately necessary. Manning deserves a commendation, not a criminal trial.

Oh, what a web we weave, when we first deceive.

Is the machine in charge – is this 2001 – is HAL running things? Or do the people still have something to say?

KENT STATE, BRADLEY MANNING and THE GAY PRIDE PARADE

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Kent State killings during a protest of the Viet Nam War in 1970. It signified our government’s declaration of the ability to kill citizens in the public space. Bradley Manning’s jailing signifies our government’s next declaration: the freedom to jail whistleblowers and hold them in extended and inhumane circumstances.

What is the significance of the Pride Parade’s refusal to honor Bradley? Have Progressives become so mainstream that they tolerate these government abuses?

Join me in SF at the Parade to bring Bradley Manning into this huge spotlight.

Bradley Manning is an American hero. He exposed war crimes that embarrassed the U.S. government and exposed these illegal wars for the atrocities they are. Bradley Manning, unlike our warmongering president, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
