Bradley Manning’s Spirits Soar At Mention of Democratic Youth Uprising Leading Reforms in Tunisia and Egypt

Egypt protester

David House, friend of Bradley Manning and his only regular visitor, saw Manning on Sunday at the brig in Quantico. Though a broad coalition of journalists, activists, psychologists and nonprofits have called for the United States government to stop the inhumane confinement conditions of Bradley Manning, he has faced yet another week in solitary confinement.

House reported that Manning appeared depressed but perked up significantly when he heard the news about the youth-led democratic uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. David tweeted: “Bradley is in a shocked state due to solitary confinement, but his mood and mind soared when I mentioned the democratic uprisings in Egypt”

    Please sign this petition to stand up for Bradley Manning, asking Barack Obama to assume personal responsibility for Bradley’s humane and just treatment. I know it will be heard when enough people sign: http://act.ly/2w7

    Already signed the petition.
    Even IF Mr Manning was the one who leaked this information, with the internet today pretty much everything is public information.
    This may help you guys.Very informative.

    You really need to get the message out through tv media, try Jon Stewart or Stephan Colbert.They may not oblige, but we watch them for the reason of sticking it in the eye of mainstream lying media.
    Good luck and will call the white house to voice our concerns in the early morning.

    Words!

    the fools
    are trying to hoover them in
    force feed them to source
    shove them down throats that have opened
    what do they hope to achieve?!
    they are out!
    packing them back in the attic won’t work any more
    they’re alive!
    crawling like spiders through rafters
    white-winging through skylights
    green-growing through buildings
    drifting like fragments of dust in the air
    filtering up from the basements of forts to bask in the sun
    dancing in ears as whispers that roar on our tongues
    changing our hearts
    passing their pictures from person to person to fix in our vision
    It’s moving!
    Truth’s on a mission! and do what you will
    the bars of your prisons
    can’t hold it
    or kill it
    like Love
    and like Peace
    it flies
    in the face of your lies!

    J F K, Martin Luther King and Bradley Manningillustrated the Inconvenient Truth to uor self appointed soulless elites. The world will not change, but these flawed personages are so flawed as to be oblivious to their sociopathic state. A few generation from now Manning will be appreciated . It is finally being recognized after many years and much propaganda that Lincoln was anything but what we were told about him. Humanity is bittersweet. Frank Reps

    These are the times when the words spoken in secret and actions not talked about are being SHOUTED FROM THE HOUSETOPS. As has been revealed in Egypt, Revolution is due, but the sociopaths will not go quietly.

    Bradley Manning you are the central focus of fervent prayers and hopes of 100s of millions of people around the world, and they all are unconsciously thinking of thanking someone just like you, although they may not actually be aware of your name or what you had to do in the name of a better world.

    and to put that apposite quote from Ed-M in context: (matthew 10;26-27)

    ‘So have no fear of them; for nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, or kept secret that will not become known. What you hear in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear proclaim UPON THE HOUSETOPS’

    This needs to go viral, but with the Egypt and the rest of the world in turmoil not sure how this can be done.
    Juliane Assange and wikileaks went viral in days.
    To have this kid locked up justs embarrass me and any us citizen.(spelling intentional, the US looks like ass.)
    This has to be really great for recruitment into the us military.
    None of the world has the weapons the US has, we can kill millions with just the push of a button. The fight now is with people with rocks and armies supplied by the us government.
    Guess what, the people will win.
    The most armed people in the world is america.There is no other country in the world with more weapons per household.
    Did Bradley bring a gun to his confinement?
    Let him live his life now.

    Mr Bradley Manning is the greatest american hero(so far) of the 21st century. He will be loved by all the people in the World oppressed by capitalism and chained down by political economy. He is also the supreme commander of all the SOLDIERS COUNCILS springing up like weeds in the garden of tyranny!

    “None of the world has the weapons the US has, we can kill millions with just the push of a button.”

    Worse than that, just one word from POTUS and with a US nuclear first strike we could through back-and-forth retaliation cause the world to burn down in a fiery holocaust, go through a twenty years’ nuclear ice age, and finally become like Venus! :(

    A quick google at YouTube for “26,000 warheads nuclear winter” will return at least one video on this… which I’ve seen. It’s about a town meeting discussion of this up in New England.

    Your missing the point this is about one bradley manning wrongly imprisoned.
    There are no laws about electronic transmissions.HE HAS DONE NO WRONG AND SHOULD BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY.
    Did he kill a person? no
    This is not a game. Your next!
    IT COULD BE YOU TODAY.

    Read the link, this was a guy who asked for Bradleys head on a stake a few months ago, like shariah palin.(hey just in fun but she makes crazy people look sane).I’m guessing here but the main focus of this web site is to get Bradley Manning out of the brig.
    Lots of news today and the last few hours about juliane assange. Oh he banged a few gals bareback.Guess sex is now outlawed in the usa. Could explain a lot of things.
    Get a meeting with Kucinich done in the morning!Get bradley manning out right now.If Kucinich walks out of the brig with Bradley Manning, would increase his chances at becoming our next prez.Would definately be news worthy.(funny how spell check is now in engrish)lol

    I’m from Australia and we only hear about Assange. You really need to get more voices from around the world to join your support for Manning. Good Luck.

    By the way, if Assange is not a US citizen, how can he be a traitor of the US or have committed treason against the US?

    Also, if Wikileaks didn’t leak the information but only published it, how can Assange be tried as the person who leaked the information?

    And what in the leaked documents is soooooooooooo confidential? – is embarrassing those with power by showing their immaturity, corruption and incompetence a crime? Is showing that they are unethical, corrupt and unworthy of the power they have been given a crime?

    Other than those in power who have have been shown to have abused their power and/or acted corruptly and/or incompetently and/or acted with disregard to human rights (in areas which many around the world are aware of anyway), who has been damaged by the leaks?

    FREE BRADLEY MANNING NOW

    DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON IT

    Elle you have to keep in mind George Washington is so much a very English name.The country was founded on treason and sedition.
    We know all about treason, we invented it!!!
    The media is a great weapon, if used correctly.
    Even back in the 1700′s people believed what they where told. Not much has changed.
    Well besides,this internet thing!
    Democracy, look to the middle east to see what it really costs today.
    All governments are corrupt,incompetent just the degree is the difference.
    Governments and the people who run them don’t like this pointed out.
    The real problem here in america is some of these people in government with cameras in their face every day is they think they are rock stars and have to say something to the adoring fans.
    How about FREE Bradley Manning?

    My heart goes out to Bradley Manning. Not sure what specifically to do to help, other than donate $$ to his legal council. My concern is for his psychological capacity to endure the inhuman treatment he has been subjected to for these past nine months. Is there anything we can do to get word to him that we are concerned?
