Chelsea Manning And The Execution Of The Human Conscience

October 12, 2016 By Kevin Patrick Kelly 1 Comment

Chelsea Manning’s torment at the hands of the state continues.

She has already attempted suicide and was punished by being placed in solitary confinement. Shortly after launching a hunger strike to protest prison conditions and the denial of gender confirmation surgery, Manning appeared to go “missing.” According to members of the Manning Support Network, Chelsea Manning missed numerous scheduled phone calls, prompting serious concern. Those concerns were thankfully alleviated when the Manning Support Network recently received a phone call from Manning.

What is happening to the military whistleblower can be seen in the examples of Edward Snowden, Thomas Drake, William Binney, John Kiriakou, Jeffrey Sterling, and numerous others. The state is launching both a covert and public campaign to execute the human conscience. Whistleblowing and other acts of flexing the human conscience will invite an onslaught by the state.

New Mass Movement Aims To Liberate Julian Assange: #JA4Me

March 25, 2016 By Endarken 7 Comments

It may have been the clink of champagne glasses at last week’s Logan Center for Investigative Journalism Symposium in Berlin that finally drove me over the edge.

The toast came from Julian Assange’s friends and fellow cypherpunks. Some of the most brilliant minds in the world, whose contributions and support of him are beyond question.

As the creme de la creme of privacy activism and technology raised their glasses to Julian, they repeated the oft-heard and wistful mantra of “we hope that one day you will be here with us in person”.

The sentiment was clearly heartfelt but the motion felt inherently insufficient.

They seemed resigned to wait for something to occur, some kind of watershed event; an externally bestowed progress or resolution.

Barrett Brown, Freedom Of The Press, And The Failed Shield Law

July 22, 2015 By Ali Salaam 2 Comments

It’s been one year since journalist Barrett Brown was recently sentenced to 63 months, or 5 years in prison, while the corporate state he was trying to expose walks free, continuing their crimes against humanity.

Perhaps George Orwell said it best: “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. Everything else is public relations.”

The American government has no interest in protecting press freedom. They just want to protect the press that serves the agenda of war and limi the political conversation to only the two parties. Forget objectivity on the Middle East: Rupert Murdoch is in the oil business in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights with Lord Jacob Rothschild, whose family created the Federal Reserve as well as Israel’s Supreme Court Building, and Dick Cheney; Wolf Blitzer is a former AIPAC lobbyist; and Anderson Cooper was a former intern at the CIA.
