Grinding Bradley Manning, the silencing
Grinding Bradley Manning, the silencing
By Gordon Duff and Press TV
“For certain, the persecution of Bradley Manning, as with the very possible murder of Aaron Swartz, the very obvious murder of John Wheeler III, the very obvious murder of Dr. John Kelly, the very obvious murder of Pat Tillman, the persecution of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, and the list could go on forever, these acts are proof beyond question that America has been and continues to be a thinly veiled police state.” (Gordon Duff)
—
This week, Bradley Manning was denied “whistleblower” protections by the US government. Manning has been subjected to years of imprisonment for releasing information the American people had every right to know, information that, had the US government acted responsibly, could have been used to save American lives.
Instead, Manning was jailed, quite literally tortured and is now being systematically denied his civil rights, his guaranteed human rights under the 1948 United Nations Convention, but not entirely for reasons everyone is aware.
I will not call Manning a dupe or patsy. I will say his actions were pro-American, patriotic and in line with those of the best of America.
As a member of America’s military, who more favorably represents the ideals America continually says it stands for, Manning or soldiers who burn Korans and urinate on the dead?
Do we need to discuss the “joystick warriors” who pilot America’s flock of “terror drones?”
Manning knew the risks he was taking. He knew his military career was over, that he could expect to be expelled from the service, even serve a short sentence though the chances of that should have been remote.
Then why is he in prison? Whom does it serve?
For certain, the persecution of Bradley Manning, as with the very possible murder of Aaron Swartz, the very obvious murder of John Wheeler III, the very obvious murder of Dr. John Kelly, the very obvious murder of Pat Tillman, the persecution of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, and the list could go on forever, these acts are proof beyond question that America has been and continues to be a thinly veiled police state.
Moreover, serious acts of brutal murder, acts against Americans and her allies, acts that can easily be proven to have broad governmental complicity, continue unabated.
Bradley Manning rots in prison while those really responsible for 9/11, 7/7, the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, Sandy Hook, Ft. Hood, Aurora, daily bombings in Kenya, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria, anyone who touches the real truth about such things is smeared or murdered.
I never met Bradley Manning. I do know why he is targeted, why he was set up, why he will be persecuted until it is time for him to die quietly in a cell.
Manning “certifies” Wikileaks.
The mainstream media and the Israel lobby work to keep Manning’s suffering ongoing as a “cover and deception” operation. Manning “carries the cross” for Julian Assange, darling of Israeli intelligence, media “kingpin,” great friends with the Murdoch empire, aligned with all the major corporate news outlets, everything filter or worse.
By worse, we refer to the analysis of Wikileaks done by former National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who, on December 4, 2010, told National Public Radio’s Judy Woodruff that Wikileaks was not what it seemed.
Brzezinski said that Wikileaks was tied to an intelligence agency and that it inserted “pointed intelligence” that served a very specific agenda.
In this case, Assange is very much “pro-war” and totally Islamophobic, the total political opposite of Bradley Manning.
Wikileaks is a highly profitable franchise, it sells tons of TV, Assange surrounded himself with Britain’s elite, still does while, every few months, Israel makes an attempt to put some air back in Wikileaks sails as it were.
We continually catch attempts to rehabilitate Assange as a potential outlet for propaganda against Iran or, as we have seen lately, to spread rumors to cripple what seems to be the newfound “anti-AIPAC” independence Obama is showing.
Thus, when a judge “dumps on” Manning, keeps the focus on Manning’s suffering and mistreatment, it really profits Assange, Israel and the press moguls who use Manning as a “bloody flag” to sell the agenda Brzezinski describes.
What is lost in the process is Manning’s ideal, his opposition to war, his message of open access, one totally betrayed by Wikileaks, whose censorship and bias has, if anything, increased the likelihood of a wider Middle East conflict.
In fact, Wikileaks is as powerful a “psyop” tool as any other, seemingly from the Mossad “bag of tricks,” one that publishes small scraps of great intelligence and tons of “chickenfeed” along with an undertone of “war mongering” and misdirection.
To give Manning the chance that’s needed, the “victimization scam” run by Assange, continual references to non-existent extradition tries from the US while Manning “does the time” has to end.
Manning is more a figure from the Vietnam War era than today, as there have been few that have taken the risk nor paid the price he has. Manning’s sacrifice has been clearly anti-war, clearly one of ending secrecy and of allowing an informed public to make decisions based on reality.
Yet, when such risk and sacrifice is made and what is released is edited, cleansed and twisted to fit the needs of powerful sponsors and, as with Wikileaks, the Israeli Likudist policy of eternal war and expansionism, of apartheid and ethnic cleansing, this is betrayal.
In addition, it has to be made clear, that Manning is not alone. Though Manning is alive, Pat Tillman and Aaron Swartz are dead, part of that same process.
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui arrested because of Dick Cheney’s lies about imaginary “yellowcake uranium” and imprisoned, she now suffers life in prison for resisting gang rape by her American kidnappers.
What Americans accuse India of; they have done across Iraq, across Afghanistan and even to thousands of women who serve in America’s armed forces or as military contractors.
We could speak of the CIA’s Susan Lindauer, locked in a psychiatric hospital and drugged to keep her from talking about 9/11.
We could talk about how Sibel Edmonds was silenced for year after year to protect spy organizations at the highest levels of the Bush administration.
We could talk about Dr. David Kelly, “suicided” to cover both the falsified intelligence that led to the Iraq War and both Tony Blair and David Cameron’s roles in hiding the sale of stolen nuclear weapons that now threaten the world.
We could talk about the modern day Count of Monte Christo, Leo Wanta, kidnapped, imprisoned, renditioned, in order to steal 27 trillion dollars from the American taxpayer, steal it and “launder it” into the pockets of a very powerful family.
Manning is not alone, there are dozens who have spoken out, thousands who have died, more honestly hundreds of thousands, maybe millions.
We are asked to either damn Manning or look away as his sacrifice is no longer “timely.” Being against war is now hopeless, as war is America’s last growth industry.
Maybe this is the real story behind Manning, why his actions touched a “third rail.”

IF, there werent a buncha corrupt criminal SOB’s in power,
THEN, there wouldnt BE whistleblowers that those same criminal SOB’s want to silence and punish!
Mannings reaction to these psychopaths, wanting to expose them, IS NORMAL!!
these criminal SOB’s in “power” are a clear danger to themselves and others,
belonging in psych wards, prisons, or cemeteries.
I dont have any respect for “psychologists” who play along with these tyrants garbage,
if, they as professionals were to band together and declare these so called “leaders” UNFIT,
then maybe, I might begin to view their “profession” as something more legitemate.
right now, they’re all brainwashed to call people aware of the criminality “conspiracy theorists”,
they’ll call a displaced worker “dysfunctional” for being unable to exist on 10 bucks an hour..
because their little college textbooks and monthly publications said so! (worthless sacks of dung)
they’ll call someone upset by TSA groping “oversensitive” and “unreasonable” or “phobic”..
meantime not comprehending the meaning of the terms “psychological warfare”,
“treasonous economic sabotage”, “financial terrorism”, “bio-chemical attack”, etc..
because they get paid pretty good to help label people who are aware, as some kind of crazy.
I’ll tell ya about “anger management”
when these freaks are somehow managed that they cant climb up our anuses with colonoscopes,
I wont feel the need to BE angry about it!
so come on ya “professional psychologists”.. start looking at these “politicians”,
the ones passing inhuman unAmerican CRAP as “law”, its all public record!
decades of their garbage on paper, that are CONFESSIONS to being inhuman psychopaths.
gee, if you saw someone poisoning your grandma and stealing her life savings,
the way things are now if you didnt SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP..
you’d be in jail for being a “whistleblower”, how DARE you speak out againat a CRIMINAL!
criminal psychopaths have taken over a long time ago,
they’ve perverted OUR system into something that protects criminals,
inclusive to the part that tries to proclaim itself something “mental health”.
it IS basic psychology, bullies want badges so they can continue their sadism unchallenged..
pencil necked geeks want positions of power so they can have their revenge against humans..
normal people dont want that kind of power over others, and are now being made victims,
while stupid-azz “book smart” shrinks sit back branding the victims as the ones with the problems.
think I’m kidding?
they train young men to be killers in their overseas wars they call “police actions”,
then when they return they’re branded “PTSD” “disgruntled” “potential terrorist” etc etc..
they’ve enacted a “stoploss policy” to about guarantee a normal person is gonna come UNGLUED..
no one but a criminal psychopath couldda cooked up this kind of CRAP, that shrinks play along with!
DC handed out “corporate welfare” so companies could move to China..
(mostly her majesty’s corporate nicknames if ya know anything whats what)
(China has been a “royals political puppet show” since the opium wars)
-that made skilled workers HERE a dime a dozen, lotsa unemployed workers, few jobs.
-wages got flushed right down the toilet!
THEN, the District of Criminals reaction is “oh my we aint gettin as much in taxes LETS RAISE TAXES”
-on those still fortunate enough to still HAVE a job, working for lower wages after being sabotaged..
might as well be “omg theres a hole in the floor of the boat letting water in”
-QUICK, lets drill another hole in the bottom of the boat to let the water back out!
“logic” like that passes as something “leadership”? (public servants ya say?)
NO, they’re fkt in the head criminals bending people over to be sodomized without lubricants,
as “psychologists” sit back saying “well maybe the boys enjoyed it”..
like Alberto Gonzales did when Texas Youth Authority was caught pimping out their inmates.
Every time I see a glimpse of hope, I am reminded again that in this world, only the evil truly prosper.
No one is more anti war than the soldier, and for very good reasons. Yet it is not, nor has it been for a very long time within the power of the soldier, the faceless grunt, to end the madness.
For that matter, the idea that America has policy steered by public will is a laughable fantasy. Americans are fed poison food that makes mad scientists rich, delivered poison water that rots the central nervous system, and soothed with a litany of poison fantasies that even children don’t take seriously.
Where exactly is this wonderful representative government? The majority want our military out of Afghanistan, and the Middle East. Poll after poll proves this. Instead we get more media lies, and grinning idiots in Congress who think no war means step it up!
Mannings problem was not with his courage, his honor, or his patriotism, his problem was believing that something of value was left in the halls of sellout land where policy is made. He forgot, or did not understand that there is no longer a heart, a soul, a conscious to appeal to among the real movers and shakers.
So, the murder, the torture, and the wars continue, all justified with a monkey stupid explanation of such monumental lies that it really causes one pain to try and even imagine believing any of it.
If there is any potential good news in any of this, it is that this ship of camouflaged evil is the Titanic of today, and when this baby starts taking on water, she’s gonna go down faster than a rock dropped into a swimming pool.
The BIGGEST joke of this all is Manning is “Charged” with Aiding the Enemy, The SAME enemy that Bush/Obama have blamed the whole War OF Terror on. Out of Bush’s mouth and Obama’s mouth is was Al Qaeda Al Qaeda Al Qaeda that was behind 9/11. Yet is a vile act of TREASON Obama is Arming that same Al Qaeda in Syria while saying he is killing Al Qaeda in Mali. WTF!
I hope that America’s who lost love ones killed by these Al Qaeda that they understand that Obama is Arming the ones that Killed US Soldiers. I bet these American families who paid the ultimate price enjoy their president’s TREASON1
Attn. Gordan Duff:
An interesting video from Sandy Hook.
What language are “the authorities” speaking at 3:10 ?
What counties’ uniforms are shown at 3:16, and at 3:36-37 ?
The analysis should not prove difficult for the staff at V.T. and, I would really appreciate an answer on this, whatever that answer might be.
Video Here- http://vimeo.com/57061899#
I’m sure most of you know the story behind the scumsucking piece of filth who sold Bradly Manning out…… a POS named Adrian Lamo.
I would PAY this dirty reptile to set foot in my yard…….
You said it: growth industry.
Too many people are making livings off of this.

You really do not need Brzig Brother to see that.
