Everything he stood for, he now bends over to. It’s ‘Business as Usual’(war!), just as if Bush was still in the WH. All this because the ultimate reality is THE MILITARY IS IN CHARGE (has been/always will be!)

The war has been escalated once again (we are being told again and again that, as they are now so close to a final resolution, an additional 10,000 troops will suffice to finish ‘the job’) This charade will last until the invasion of Iran, which is next on the list of threats to their ‘US National Security’.

Guantanamo is frozen. Manning (and so many others) still being detained without a trial (military law!). Bankers are pocketing multi-millions while the economy is tanking through their misdeeds. Not to forget the ever increasing military budget. And half of America is frothing at the mouth wanting to kill Assange – Manning will do in his absence.

In America’s zeal for total control of the world, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness as a national credo has been lost forever in favour of the pursuit of money under the guise of Vital National Interests, which is so much more rewarding for the ruling class and the multi-nationals.

America is sicker than ever, and is contaminating the whole world with its godly two-faced pus.

By investing in the future of Assange and Manning I’m hoping their courage and examples will bear the sweet fruits of LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS for everyone all around the globe.

This amount of $15,100 is a very specific amount and is presumably the “solicited” funds. The international financial campaign against Wikileaks has been (unfortunately) very successful and they have stated openly that they are haemorraging money.

So far Assange has been to court 3 times. Bradley’s legal defence has barely begun. This is a long haul fight for everyone concerned and the US government is openly trying to split Manning’s defence campaign to help their attempts to break him to use against Assange – it is further proof of his heroism (if that were necessary) that he hasn’t done so. Nobody else should be doing so either.

Assange is reluctantly writing a book to fund his own defence. When Wikileaks has funds again and when it can be done **without jeopardising Bradley’s defence** !!! I have no doubt they’ll be there.

As for the snide puritanical smear about ‘a nobody with a penchant for playing around’ that’s just buying into one more government dirty tricks campaign and is beneath contempt.

I know nothing about the WAU foundation and it may be awful as some claim – or not; I do know this was a ratbag thing to do in the middle of an international campaign to cripple Wikileaks financially.

These people worked overtime as well to try and divide the defence of Manning and the defence of Assange. NEITHER of them should have spent a minute in prison: an injury to one is an injury to all ! Here’s AU$100 just to spite them.

Mr. Taylor, if you had educated yourself as to the extreme mistreatment of gay people in Amerika and in many other nations, you would not be surprised in the least. I am so tired of all this ignorance–some of which I’m sure is feigned–by liberal heteros, as to how badly homosexuals are regarded, especially when it comes to criminal accusations.

Now, roll up your sleeves and do something about it…for a change. And don’t tell me you didn’t realize Bradley is gay.

Surely you jest, else you are very arrogant, and ignorant. You remind me of the “good” Germans who praised Hitler, or the “good” Russians who live today, yearning for the times of Stalin. It was under the evil watch of GW Bush, that this nation was ruined, and struck terror in the heart of all other nations. Obama’s wrong-doing doesn’t even come /close/ to Dubya’s unforgivable wickedness and destruction of our civil rights. You, Rivera, are like so many right-wing arseholes who scapegoat all your sins on progressives and other decent souls. You are foul, to put it politely.

The US was loved so much under Bush. Now the world will hate America thanks to Obama, Hillary and the American left. Thanks Democrats!
