Immediately after Bradley Manning’s sentencing of 35 years imprisonment, for blowing the whistle on high-level government crimes committed through the military, outraged Americans, led by national rights defenders, have taken to city streets across the United States.
Americans outraged that whistleblower of US forced routinely killing civilians is persecuted
“On behalf of the millions affected by the illegitimate, unjust, immoral wars and torture carried by the Bush regime, and continued by the Obama administration, we are outraged at the 35 year prison sentence just put on Bradley Manning,” stated Debra Sweet of The World Can’t Wait.
Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison Wednesday for handing to WikiLeaks a massive cache of sensitive government documents detailing the routine killing of civilians by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Rallies have been planned by Manning supporters, who are openly grateful that Manning had the heroic courage to defend the nation’s Constitution and international law by exposing military violations to both, as he took an oath to do.
Many of these rights defenders gathered for a vigil at Fort Meade before the sentence announcement.
On Facebook, Manning supporters had written about local actions to be taken, ”Immediately following the sentencing announcement of heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning by the military court at Fort Meade, Maryland.
The supporters urged the public to join them in the streets across the nation to demand, ‘President Obama: Pardon Bradley Now!’”
‘Blowing the whistle on war crimes is not a crime’
“In light of the complete refusal of the Obama administration to investigate or prosecute those responsible for torture, rendition and secret ‘dirty’ wars, Manning’s sentence is an indication that people who expose such crimes must fear losing their lives, while those who conceive, legally justify and carry them out them receive immunity,” Sweet said in a written statement Wednesday.
Sweet is among a host of rights advocates, who have been planning a show of solidarity with Manning today and a show of utter disdain for the Obama regime’s persecution of journalists and other whsitleblowers exposing high-level government crime around the globe.
Manning support has come from Europe, too. Last month, 17 Ministers of Parliament wrote to Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to free WikiLeaks whistle-blower Army Pfc. Bradley Manning.
The MEPs laud Manning for exposing “evidence of human rights abuses and apparent war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan” in accordance with international law.
Across the nation today, rights defenders including Sweet remain committed to supporting whistle-blowers Manning, Edward Snowden, and work of Wikileaks and other journalists courageously exposing war crimes and injustice.
Manning’s supporters are commenting on the 35-year sentence just announced in his court martial at Ft. Meade on the same page of today’s list of events on Facebook.
“Bradley Manning is an American hero. He is a hero to the American people who understand and love freedom,” wrote Bruce White. “He is a criminal in the eyes of a criminal, despicable government who murders innocent journalists and children. I stand behind Bradley, as I stand behind Ed Snowden, another American hero. God bless them and all whistleblowers who bring to light criminality within the government.”
Shalone wrote, “This is the worst sort of exploitation. I have heard both sides and even if someone views it as “he went against his government and leaked information” they are not seeing the whole picture. Manning was a 19 year old BOY when this whole thing started.
“The US has entrusted intelligence documents to a 19 year old (practically a child) and then they condemn him when he makes a decision based on the horrible things he sees going on around him. F U C he was just a kid and the government taking away his whole life simply because he did what he thought was right. At 19 you can’t fully understand consequences because you still believe in things.
“Things like truth, justice and the American way. Believing in his country and government is the only thing he is guilty of.”

Unjust Bradley Manning sentence met with outraged rights defenders nationwide asking, Why punish him and not the war criminals he exposed?
asking a war criminal to pardon manning it isnt going to happen i hope snowden is watching and knows to make sure hes not next for doing whats right.
Probably dead right. O won’t even pardon Lynn Stewart dying of cancer in prison for far less of an exposure of high-level crime. Nevertheless, demanding O pardon Manning is a good move. Please see: http://pardon.bradleymanning.org and submit a photo holding a “Pardon Bradley Manning” sign. Many thanks.
The government….. Most do not realize where it began
When Washington crossed that river with his sick and and hungry men he met 20,000 rested and armed British troops…..He signed a “peace treaty” that promised repayment to Britain for all it’s “trouble”…The troops stayed in the Carolina’s protecting “the Virginia company” for 20 years after…because that is where our financial control began. The Virgina company was sent here to administrate lands and opportunity of our country…..they changed their name through the years but everything was sent through this company..
The company lent the crowns money to crown employees that created in the crowns name…All of the people you here about like J.P morgen etc… were trustees to this company….a group of that crown power created their own corner by being part of the city states that have no law of the world…They answer to no one…..None….
When traitor Washington signed that treaty the British said what will stop the people from rising again? Washington replied ” for my life I will trade the answer. We will tell them they won because I am still alive. You will empower me as their leader and they will think they are free and their ancestors won something.”
simple but that is how the controlling power started…The one sent here by the crown to administrate the lands and opportunities of our nation..
We tried to fight back during the civil war…The crown lied to the people and used their kindness (gentile) against them….they said it was about mistreatment when in reality we were following the crown laws. The idea of “slavery” was ending anyway…The crown wanted troops already here. They started the lies and rumers… Through “Dunbar’s proclamation” they promised all black slaves that if they left their debts and ran away they could be a set free from that debt..All they had to do was fight for the northern cause and spread the lies…The debt holders or “masters” as we now know them, said we loaned money and or bought them from their prison sentence. The crown’s fake leaders said “so what”
the war started.
The French always financed our establishment..they were about freedom and was the main adversary of the crown..They financed us and Mexico at the time…
When our ancestors decided to fight the civil war , the French again financed us. They were going to land in their colony in Mexico. Troops and ammo for the united states who were fighting the crown. The fake leaders of the government told Mexico that they could leave their debt and be financed by the stupid citizens of the united states if they would only stop the French from landing. that is what they call “Cinco De Mayo”
Since the first moment the crown has used a fake debt system to gain support of a people to further their cause. They lied in the beginning and are lying today…
Making a people think that there is hate for them so they will attack another color of human… Whites have never gather to hurt a race for their color…ever……..
Blacks have under the lies and authority of the ruling power…
To this day you receive federal assistance no matter what if you are black or minority (anyone but a white male citizen of our oppressed states)
And you still do not see your servitude…You support entire countries for their lies…You are still attacking your own kind over the controlling powers lies……They lie to keep us seperate……so we will not gather again…
Thank you Deborah for this forum
