America has long since become the Graveyard of the Once Free and the Disneyland of and for Sociopaths. The words “military justice” have come to be an oxymoron as the government is flaunting its long held but unwritten thesis that the Constitution is “irrelevant” in the army—I find what is happening to Bradley Manning, the vanguard for peace, far worse than infuriating but proportionally far from surprising: immediately after Korea, the army, alone of all the branches of the armed forces, saw fit to court martial, punish and ruin those who for any number of superb reasons had failed to escape from North Korean POW camps—-ludicrously accusing all of them across the board of “colluding with the enemy” —-Bradley Manning, aside from being indisputable Nobel Prize material, is the poster boy against economic drafteeism among many other American societal ills.

I believe that the corruption and greed that controls much of what Western Nations has as a society needs to be taken down and people with a conscience and courage like Bradley Manning should be given the power to do something about this. They see the truth and broadcast the truth when the media do nothing but support the status quo and keep the masses in blissful ignorance while they are used as slaves for BIG business. Capitalism has failed the people and the people need to take action.

This should not be allowed to happen. Isn’t America meant to be land of the brave, home of the free? Well, why is Bradley Manning in prison for telling the truth? I never knew embarrassing a government of a supposedly civilised, western civilisation could lead to imprisonment. I’ve worked in the U.S., and thought I knew how it ran quite well. Guess I didn’t know America quite as well as I thought I did! Let him go!

An unbelievable travesty of justice has been committed regarding the treatment of Bradley Manning. Our governments should be open and honest with us, those who put them in “power”, Whistleblowers who expose evil within government should be rewarded, not punished. Democracy is undercut by such episodes as this one.

The United States appears now to be a terrorist state.

Free Bradley Manning

Outrageous that he’s in prison. Whatever happened to free speech? Free Julian Assange while I’m about it. Long live whistle blowers. Such injustice!

Right now our country is waging a war at home against bullies. In the media, in the schools, on Facebook and at home the talk is about bullies. What happens when your 16 year old son looks you in the eye and says. “Who cares cares, our country is the biggest bully.” We need to be able to say with conviction, No, son. Our country stands for freedom and protects those who see injustice and expose it. It protects our right of free speech so that we cannot become bullies.”
