I think Manning and Assange should be held up as heroes, not charged with a crime. Assange isn't even a US citizen, and committed no crimes in the US. There is no jurisdiction to charge Assange with a crime. Having sex with a sleeping woman is pretty creepy, but I think the pursued her just to get him in a country that would extradite him to the US.
@SkidRowRadio The response of the media is the most telling and the most troubling. If the media wasn't demonizing them, the US gov wouldn't be pursuing this so strongly. The mentality in the US about gov secrecy just goes so much farther than prudent.
I like to refer to the US as "Fascist light". We are a long way from NAZI Germany or even Mussolini's Italy, but we are also pretty far away from the liberal democracy we once had. I would say we have a "light" police state as well. Every year, police brutality becomes more and more commonplace, or the internet is just exposing what was always there. Either way, the system needs major changes.
@christo930 I really don't know why you say the US is far from "liberal" democracy. Well I don't know what you mean by liberal. The US has elections, and the result of letting everyone vote and this system is "fascism" as you call it. It's not a movement away from democracy, it's the fullest realization of democracy.
@fringeelements That is kind of a euphemism for a modern western gov. The US is now incarcerating more people than any other country in the world, at least 1/2 of which are for non-violent drug offenders. We have lost our 4th amendment rights and some cases Habeas Corpus. We are torturing people, holding people indefinably without a charge filed or legal counsel. I could go on and on. The executive branch, especially under Bush jr, grew it's power by leaps and bounds.
for those out there who doubt wiki links legitimacy, all i need to say is, look at who is doubting them, and how bad they want to shut wiki and daniel manning down. and look at how bad the government want to shut wiki up. and of course the media being fair and balanced "crap" is telling it's viewers the truth. only what their masters the big corporations want them to tell.
OK I am officially freaked out. ~disclaimer~ I am not an American. But is there not some kind of "incitement to violence" limit on freedom of speech in the USA?
Of course, those in power already know the truth and are the least inclined to listen because they benefit the most from lies. Telling truth to the average person who's left mushroomed in the dark is much more necessary. That's the Tube best mission, if such it has.
@TheAzov oh absolutely. that's what it's all about.. tellin the truth to the people.. 'truth to power' is a turn of phrase. of course dey know the troof dare. thats why they so nervous... hella hella hella nervous..
Well I personally believe our government has gone balls to the wall evil and should be opposed as often as humanly possible. Needless to say, I support all the whistleblowers who expose the corruption. I think people should physically break Bradley Manning out of the military prison. I f America ever gets the testicular fortitude to revolt. That will be one of the first places I head to with my guns a blazin.
Scary shit. How does any honest/informed person manage to sit through even one of these segments without realizing just how contrived the witch hunt is? I know it's old news but I haven't watched any of these programs in ages. Even Limbaugh shouldn't be this over the top with his dishonesty.
the right wing vitriol that spews from these yanks mouths is unbelievable - an excellent compilation at the end there.
I do believe that you have to get the concession first, that history comes to bear, when considering justice .. u refer to 'context' .. but that is about these guys heads !
This is still a great video

Wow, a wonderful video!
9:48, "Information warfare is warfare, and Julian Assange is engaged in warfare."
It might have been like that during the Cold War, but not anymore.
