The world we have today is the result of millennia of wars. And who win wars if not the most violent, the most abhorrent of men? Therefore is it at all surprising that the world is ran by these types: violent, self-serving, heartless men?

The brutal treatment of manning is far from new or unique. What is new is that decent people are finally getting a glimpse of their true rulers. The stench of rot and corruption behind the curtain of secrecy is leaking. And will continue to leak until it's all scrubbed off.

Whistleblowers should be celebrated, not jailed. Assange, Manning and Snowden are heroes.

Some of the most powerful words written in today's banana world. Justice is dead, mercy is dead, rule of law is dead, truth is dead. Poor Chelsea. The horror, the horror.

Those are some powerfully worded remarks.

for the alleged crime of telling the truth.

whew....

The radical shifts are happening and we are in the front seat, @ausbitbank , thank you for sharing, uv/rs

It will be good to see Chelsea finally walk free later this month.

The man is a hero.

Important, and though you didn't write this yourself I am resteeming it as I believe as many people as possible SHOULD read this. This is very important.

Cool article.
Good luck @ausbitbank

Come on Julian!!

Boom goes the dynamite
