Congressional Hearing: WikiLeaks, The Espionage Act & The Constitution pt.1

[letherden]

john conyers is a hero! these cspan vids always impress me with how totally a different picture is given than in all the other media spin. it was the same with the motives of the republican dissenters in the bail out who were portrayed to be saying something totally different to what they actually could be seen to be discussing on cspan. thank you moxnews. it was you that posted that discussion as well and i was devastated when they disappeared from you tube.

"our country was founded on the belief that speech is sacrosanct"

It's not a belief, It's a fucking FACT that speech is sacrosant and needs to be protected You fucking word playing FUCKS

[411American]

Oh the games the Feds play - Thank you Federal reserve for supporting communism opposition for you objective against America

[rclark23]

You guessed it–the last bastion of freedom of information and expression, a free Internet, will topple. After all, if information is now the enemy, we must carefully police any and every aspect of this dangerous medium–all for the safety and protection of ‘we the people’.

[rclark23]

Oh, we’ll still have the Internet, just like you can still fly. You’ll just have to be on the “approved” list, screened, stamped, zapped, mugged and molested if you want to get “on the net”. No biggie. Thanks Julian–job well done.

[fonsidream]

If someone calls you a horse, stand like a man before they go shopping for a saddle.

It is time for Julian Assange to stand up as a sovereign people, instead of a slave citizen. Any sovereign can open his own court and has unlimited rights to deal with US State or Washington DC Congress (The Crown).

Do not go after lawyers who already gave oath to BAR. They do not go against their boss.

If Julian Assange publicly calls for help, he will receive help in private, for free.

[MyVeryBesttoYou]

Thank you for posting this.

The witchhunt around wikileaks and Assange is truly concerning. Are there enough people in America who care to defend our democracy against the attempted corporate takeover of it? There is no risk to national security with wikileaks, only a risk to the reputations of some of the corporations whose immoral and illegal overseas behaviour is currently are protected by the US govt and military at a high cost to its ordinary citizens.

that honky behind conyers loves to blink

[qqjoo]

wtf is wookileaks??

[rclark23]

@qqj U-Say; wtf is wookileaks

Search: (Is the Internet 9/11 Under Way? InfoWars)

#1. Wikileaks—WAY too approved and publicized. Every TV and cable network, press worldwide, official recognition from every level of government. Heck, he even does a TED talk! Where’s anyone else trying to expose the agenda? Only Julian. Hmmm.

#2. Biggie: This supposed system fighter says the 9/11 truth issue is “a distraction”. Mustn’t step on your bosses’ toes now, should we Julian.. Very suspicious

[LaProfeVirtual]

Conyers, that sucking at the end of every sentence is gotta go. It is so annoying

[envanje]

Sure wikileaks will have consequences for US foreign policy for it hopefully will be less stupid !

[BeantownJim]

This is a Republic not a democracy!

FU Gohmert

Your main interest is to defend war profiteers therefore your focus on 'damage' to national security and lost 'candor' by diplomats.

We all UNDERSTAND the following premise: 'When the government breaks it own laws, it must hide these actions, in order to continue to apply them to the rest of us'

This is where Wikileaks becomes important. We have been lied, deceived, & misled

to get us into endless wars. The damage is being directed to the Military Corporate Complex. I AM GLAD

[jawayetti]

Ironic, how nobody even bothers to refute anything revealed by Wikileaks.

[NIKKElsix]

[InternetSpanker]

Oh God Damn... why are people wasting their time with bullshit like Wikileaks when the whole friggin' country is going to hell in a handbag?

When truth becomes treason,we will all pay dearly.

7:12 CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

[norbu2006]

@11:00 Conyers smiles and goes "you bastard"

[kaitlinpg2001]

I have a question? First I am all for wiki leaks and I feel that if we don't do something to try and stop the government they are gonna continue to take away our first amendment right. I think that we should come up with some type of form letter online that anyone could forward to there representative or senator. Any thoughts?

[davidperi]

Wikileaks is unpopular only by those who want to be in control and have no other interests then their own. Assange had a good interview with Kati last night on the CBS news..very positive than what the guy is saying above in the 1st 7 minutes.

[PyROphantasie]

10:00 Best part

[thor9754]

OMG, why is conyers speaking so slowly... lol, it's like painful to listen to...

[styzor]

@thor9754 hes ok but i agree he speaks so fucking slooooooooowwww lol

[InternetSpanker]

@thor9754 - medication. (the good stuff.)

[kochammata]

@thor9754 I agree! he's too old for lead this hearing

[kochammata]

Stop the abuses then you wont have as much dirt to hide

[kochammata]

Julian Assange is a hero Mr. I sound like I'm a southern slave owner -Judge Gohmert.

Assange n his team are very brave and courageous people, the cowards who are ashamed of thier dirty little secrets are exactly the type of people that would never do anything noble, because they are greedy, fake and weak characters that will cut heads to get to the top, when the good people have some honor therefor often stay behind. so now we have all these stupid heartless cowdars in charge of the world

[letherden]

@thor9754 i'd be depressed if i was him. this is breaking his heart.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

Louie Gohmert is a fucking idiot. He was one of the "terror baby" rumor spreaders. He has yet to prove his claims.

[Shelbzism]

13:35 "The drafters of the 1917 act could not have foreseen that nearly 100 years later sensitive government information could be transmitted to a global audience, instantaneously."

No, but I'm sure they would have welcomed the idea. Since world war two the American Government has been under the relentless and self-destructive influence of it's military industrial complex, which backs up it's banks and large corporations to achieve global exploitation.

It seems our so called Government officials need to read the damn 1st Amendment !!

[InternetSpanker]

@2xtream - Peoples - Copy & Paste this into your comments as well as your brain...thank you.

[jawayetti]

@2xtream I'm sure Huckabee has a copy in his pocket he can lend them...oh, wait...he agrees with them.

Contrary to popular belief in Washington, the Constitution is not some secret document that you need a decoder ring to decipher. It was deliberately written so any reasonable person could understand it.

[DvineGaming]

LEAK 9/11 ASSANGE FOR FUCKS SAKE MAN!

[Psy0psAgent]

911 was an inside job. congress is guilty of not being capable of doing childrens physics. this is one of the finest examples of absurd. there has been no disclosure to the public of any truth in basic science or truth in the Law. all is a corporate fiction, there is no spoon. nothing they do matters in the end. this is their true face. see u in the camps or do something. ive spent 6 years trying to wake ppl up and now i fear i will spend the next 6 telling them i told you so.

[whoo689]

...You've gotta be kiddin me.

[whoo689]

Ralph Nader's testifying?? Nice! At least there'll be SOMEONE over there on the side of what's right and Wikileaks.

[ZoneTelevision]

Conyers sounds like he's about to fall asleep. I believe its safe to say he and the rest of congress ARE asleep. I

[slhines7]

These bastards belongs on prison moreso that Julian Assange. I don't even know how in the hell these crooks got into office?

[o1OpTiMuS1o]

screw Wiki get the traitors and dual citizens in our government out immediately and put them on trial they are the ones behind this
