The Great American Witch Hunt

since may 2010, before any kind of trial at all has taken place, bradley manning rots in solitary confinement, “being denied exercise, any kind of social interaction & sunlight” as well as often “being kept completely naked” clearly undergoing what some have rightly called torture--- julian assange’s life is threatened on a daily basis & if no one kills him before he is imprisoned for life or executed in this great american witch hunt you can bet your bottom dollar that the EMPIRE will do everything that they can to silence him & shut down wikileaks screaming & thrashing having its little temper tantrum because some of its EVIL WAYS have had a bright light shined on them. meanwhile, you & i can either climb to the highest mountain that we can find in these here united states stand on the edge of a cliff and together, we can raise our hands & wave goodbye to the first amendment as mr. obama & co. “pursue the prosecution of more whistleblowers than any other administration in US history” then subsequently jump off into the quiet & complete annihilation of our freedom of speech--- or, because manning, assange & so many anonymous others are simply individuals who WANT THE TRUTH, we can join them! we can stand beside them & support them in any way possible! at the very least we can understand that they are heroes that should be honored as being vital voices & promoters of a better humanity--- one that cannot that WILL NOT be undermined by the overwhelmingly oppressive forces that still thrive amongst us.
