2010     Bradley Manning…… . Exposed War Crimes in Iraq
Bradley Manning was a 22 year old Army Intelligence Analyst based in Iraq . He saw that some members of the military were committing inhuman war crimes . After seeing what was being done in the name of ” Democracy ” , inhuman torture , false imprisonment of a suspected enemy , murdering innocents for sport , etc. , he could no longer remain silent . He went to his superior officers and gave them proof of the psychopathic behavior of some troops , high paid mercenaries * and Officers . He finally went to his superior Officers and asked them to investigate the ” Collateral Murder ” video which showed a U.S. Helicopter machine gunning 12 civilians and wounding 2 children minding their own business on the streets of Baghdad in 2007 . The Helicopter then fired on people who were trying to rescue the wounded . Finally a U.S. tank drove over the body of one of the wounded , cutting the man in half. Also while machine gunning the civilians the crew of the Helicopter were laughing and referred to their targets as ” dead bastards .” His
Superior Officers refused to investigate . Of course the U.S. would not torture fellow human beings , we only applied a form of ” enhanced interrogation .” Manning also sent information to the New York Times and the Washington Post but no one was willing to alert the American public as to what war crimes were being perpetrated in their name.
Section 499 of the Army Field Manual states , ” Every violation of the law of war is a war crime.” The law of war is contained in the Geneva Convention. Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention requires the
wounded be collected and cared for. Section 27-10 of the Army Field Manual states that maltreatment of dead bodies is a war crime. Enshrined in the U.S. Army Subject Schedule No. 27-1 is ” the obligation to
report all violations of the law of war.” Manning had the legal duty to reveal the commission of war crimes , which he did . In return for being a compassionate human being , he was tortured and crucified .
Had he been a psychopathic serial killer , he might have been awarded a medal and would now be free . Liberty and Justice for all .
Manning was arrested in Iraq in the spring of 2010 and was imprisoned for 36 months without a trial , even though not proven guilty yet. He was caged like an animal in a 6 ft. X 8 ft. cell 23 to 24 hours a day .
His prescription glasses were taken away , he was forbidden to lie down or to use the wall for a support for his back while seated , he was allowed 20 minutes of sunshine a day and no more than a 5 minute shower .
Even Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said the document release revealed no sensitive intelligence sources. For his honesty and compassion , he was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

2010     Julian Assange………WikiLeaks – Exposed War Crimes and corruption
The popular Web Site was set up for exposing corruption and criminal conduct in government and corporations . His information came from insiders in the government and the corporate world . In 2010 he was awarded the Sam Adams Award , the French Le Monde award for person of the year , he was the runner up for Time magazines person of the year , selection by the Italian edition of Rolling Stone as ” Rockstar ” of  the year.
The following year he won the Sydney Peace Foundation Gold Medal for Peace with Justice . A few months later he was awarded the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism , the Walkley Award for Most Outstanding Contribution to Journalism and back in 2009 he won the Amnesty International UK Media Award . Who else gets so many awards for service to the civilized world , above and beyond the call of duty .
Our mass media used to have ” investigative reporters ” back in the 1950’s and the 1960’s who would expose corruption and criminal conduct in government and industry but that is no longer the case . The mass media such as the New York Times , the Washington Post , the Pittsburgh Post Gazette , etc. are now in the government and corporate pocket , they are puppets , bought and paid for Whores .   The so called news is twisted , distorted and key information is omitted , if it is     ” politically incorrect ” , it is omitted 100 % . They NEVER present both sides of the story . There is no longer ” Freedom of the Press ” as I found out with
the Pittsburgh Post Gazette . I wanted to place a display ad – 2 columns X 2 1/2 inch which would cost me $ 977.50. [ it concerned the U.S.S.Liberty ] Gave my credit card number and then silence . I   E – Mail them , I phone them and they never
respond as to why they will not place the ad. Sadly the media is controlled by a small tight knit group , they control all major newspapers , radio , T.V. , magazines , etc.   Is it any wonder that the lumpen masses have been so dumbed down ?
Assange was a Hero to the civilized world until ………………..he released Bradley Manning’s material including the Collateral Murder video showing a U.S. Military helicopter machine gunning innocent civilians in Iraq , men , women and children including people who came to rescue the wounded and dying. While they were MURDERING these innocents , they were laughing at those ” Dead Bastards ”
Rep. Peter King , Senator Lindsey Graham , Senator Joseph Lieberman , Obama , Attorney General Eric Holder [ draft dodgers all ] who condemn Assange and say he is a threat to National security ,  they are the real  psychopaths and serial killers . The so called ” enemy ” already know what crimes our government has committed , therefore no threat to National Security. Only the dumbest of the dumb of the lumpen masses would consider him a threat to our country.
P.S. Back in 2008 when Obama [ a Constitutional lawyer ] was running for President , he said , ” Whistleblowers are part of a healthy democracy and must be protected from reprisal.” ……and now Obama says” he broke the law ” Vice President Joe Biden says Assange is a ” high tech terrorist ” ……………Have they no shame ? ?

2013     Edward Snowden …….. National Security Agency – N.S.A.
Edward Snowden was a computer analyst for a firm doing the C.I.A. ‘s dirty work spying on American citizens and citizens and governments around the world. The C.I.A. monitored phones of 35 world leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel . When she found out about it , she compared the C.I.A. to former Communist East German Secret Police ” Stasi ” where you had no privacy nor Free Speech .
The C.I.A. also monitored the phones of 38 foreign Embassies . When this information became available to him , he informed his superiors about what he found thinking it might have been done by rogue agents , his Superiors ignored the information he presented to them. The N.S.A. stole personal information from  millions of citizens whereas normally it would require a court order on named individuals. In exposing this criminal illegal act , he did his country a great service.
Speaking of Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech , Snowden was scheduled to speak via teleconference before a bi partisan Congressional Committee to explain why he did what he did but when Obama
found out, he forced a cancellation of the conference. What is Obama trying to hide ? We as taxpayer citizens have a right to know . To silence him , he is being charged with treason under the Espionage Act of 1917 [ spying for the enemy ] and theft of government property . The so called ” government property ” is actually private citizen property which the N.S.A. stole and therefore should be charged with grand theft  considering what they did was illegal and unconstitutional . Interesting how most of the insider  Fat Cats  all get a ” Get Out of Jail Free ” card.
Considering that what he revealed did not pose a threat to our country , charging him with the Espionage Act was done in order to intimidate others not to expose crime and corruption , they will destroy your life.
There were many countries in the world and in our hemisphere Bolivia , Ecuador , Nicaragua , Venezuela , Argentina , etc who were willing to give Snowden asylum . Many in Europe would also sympathize with him but anyone who goes against the wishes of the C.I.A. , U.S.S.A. , the Master Race, will pay and pay dearly . They will be intimidated , threatened , blackballed , blackmailed and down the road possibly subsidizing revolutionaries / Terrorists to overthrow the government . When you think about it our government / C.I.A. and the Power Behind the Throne are vindictive Evil Bastards who want to dominate the world as
evidenced by our Military being based in 130 + countries around the world , over 700 Military bases in these countries , our 35 + non stop wars since 1950 where we threatened , terrorized , bombed and invaded  poor 3 rd world countries that were no threat to us. Hundreds of millions of innocents were murdered by  our Weapons of Mass Destruction to bring them ” Democracy ” Cui Bono ? [ who benefits ? ] , the Military Industrial Complex , Wall Street and the Banksters. [ General Smedley Butler – 1935 – was right ]
From being the greatest country in the world, Liberty and Justice for All , we have evolved into a 21 st Century extension of the Mafia . They also had a code of silence / Omerta when if you reveal any corrupt criminal activity to the authorities / public, you would be put on their ” Hit List ” as we saw with Bradley Manning , et al.

Pax Vobiscum
