Protest marks Bradley Manning's 1,000 days in prison - London, 23.02.2013
As part of a global day of action, protesters gathered at the US Embassy in London today to mark US Army Private Bradley Manning's 1,000th day in prison without trial over the leaking of classified US Army documents now known as the "Iraq War Logs" to whistleblowing website Wikileaks which revealed shocking details of war crimes committed by the US Army in Iraq, including the notorious "Collateral Damage" helicopter gunship cockpit video which showed American pilots indiscriminately murdering civilians and journalists.
Denied a speedy trial, and having been subjected to cruel and punitive treatment in military prisons which have been classified as torture by Amnesty International and other Human Rights organisations, Manning's supporters are calling for the US Army's prosecutors to stop hindering Manning's legal team access to important evidence at every turn.
Branded a traitor by many in the USA, and a hero by many others for exposing American crimes in Iraq, Manning is being charged under the US Espionage Act and an egregious “aiding the enemy” charge which could see him executed, even though it has been proven that not a single American has been harmed as a result of Manning's exposure of criminal behaviour. A spokesman from BradleyManning.org in the US said in a statement this week "There has never been a more important time to broadcast our message of support for exposing war crimes, international justice, and people's right to know what the government does in our name."
Groups supporting Manning today in London included Wise Up Action, Veterans for Peace UK, Queer Strike, All African Women's Network, Women Against Rape, PayDay Men's Network, London Catholic Worker and OccupyLondon.

Bradley Manning supporters hold vigil as trial verdict is due - London 27.07.2013
Supporters of US Army whistleblower Bradley Manning held a vigil on the steps of St. Martin's in the Fields church near Trafalgar Square to call for Manning to be released as the world waited to hear the trial judge's verdict. As we now know, the brave soldier who blew the whistle on US Army war crimes when he released thousands of US Army cables to Wikileaks, has been found guilty of espionage, but was found innocent of the absurd charge of 'aiding the enemy'. To date nobody has stood trial for the war crimes.

“Capable, generous men do not create victims, they nurture victims.”
“The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be “free” because a change in political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments. Western speech, as something that rarely has any effect on power, is, like badgers and birds, free. In states like China, there is pervasive censorship, because speech still has power and power is scared of it. We should always look at censorship as an economic signal that reveals the potential power of speech in that jurisdiction.”
“The sense of perspective that interaction with multiple cultures gives you I find to be extremely valuable, because it allows you to see the structure of a country with greater clarity, and gives you a sense of mental independence.”
“Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.
If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types whos hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering.
Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.”

Washington DC, Sunday May 11, 2014. Around twenty social justice activists associated with the Chelsea Manning support group rally in front of the White House in support of an unlikely presidential pardon for convicted whistleblower Chelsea Manning. On Thursday, April 10, 2014 Major General Jeffrey S. Buchanan rejected Manning's request for clemency. The only person who can now grant clemency is the President Of The United States. The Obama White House had declared that it will not even respond to Chelsea's request for clemency until all of her appeals are exhausted, a process which could take many years. On August 21, 2014 Chelsea Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison for releasing secret government documents to Wikileaks.

On Thursday June 19, 2014, I photographed this great placard -- based on the Barack Obama "Hope" poster -- at a vigil to mark the 2nd anniversary of Julian Assange, WikiLeaks' founder and editor-in-chief, entering the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to seek political asylum, fearing that he would end up being extradited to the US from Sweden, where he is accused of sexual offences (claims which he denies). His asylum claim was accepted on August 16, 2012.
WikiLeaks' work, exposing US crimes through documents released by Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning, has, of course, been enormously influential, and I am pleased to have worked with WikiLeaks as a media partner on the release of the classified military files from Guantánamo in April 2011.

McPherson Square, Washington DC, July 4, 2013. Progressive and libertarian social justice activists unite in a rally to protest US government violations of constitutionally protected 4th amendment privacy rights and the persecution of whistle blowers. Speakers included Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake and many others. My crowd estimate was around 300. Despite harping to the contrary by corporate media at the event (and "DC" lifestyle bloggers online before it even happened...), the rally was a wonderful "fun" way to spend the 4th of July, right up there with the Bicentennial 'Moonie' fireworks extravaganza. The folks who organized this event are real superstars in my book.

Description of event
www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178950392136750
"Since its release of about 2000 diplomatic cables (as of January 7th, 2011), Wikileaks has been subject to extraordinary pressures, seemingly at the behest of the US government. Amazon and EveryDNS have denied Wikileaks internet service and Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and Bank of America have been prevented supporters from donating money to Wikileaks. This is despite the fact that Wikileaks has not even been charged with a crime.
Unfortunately, the situation has gotten even worse. The press has been spreading lies about Wikileaks. Mainstream media outlets do not appear to be doing even the most rudimentary fact-checking. The most blatant of these lies is the idea that Wikileaks has “indiscriminately dumped 250,000 cables on the internet”. This is flat-out false.
A few news organizations, including NPR and InformationWeek, have corrected this mistake, and NPR has even offered an apology. By contrast, most news organizations ranging from the AP to the Wall Street Journal continue to print this falsehood.
We call upon all news organizations to correct previous articles and statements, to issue apologies to their readers, and to take steps to prevent this mistake from occurring in any future articles and shows.
We will be protesting outside the TransAmerica pyramid, across from a San Francisco office of the New York Times, on Saturday, January 15th, at 4pm. On that day, we will be joining in protesting against the repression of Wikileaks with many others around the world, including Washington, DC, and several cities in Canada and Australia.
To counter the New York Times’s censorship of reality, we plan to publish the released cables on the walls of their building. In addition, participants will be provided cable printouts and markers and encouraged to throw down their artistic abilities by adding a graphic representation of their favorite cable to the Cablegate Coloring Book.

Hummingbird as you shoot it close to a hundred times in the 'Reserva Rio Blanco' in Manizales (Colombia). And at first I was thinking to tell the large number of photographs it was necessary to obtain it, that despite these hummingbirds are accustomed to humans and can be approached. Is that they are very flexible and thus difficult to catch.
But since there have been attacks against the 'free speech' and therefore of democracy, I preferred to turn this picture into a symbol, one that says the Internet allows people to be like the hummingbirds, fast and agile, and get past the attacks against democracy.
Wikileaks we support. We support democracy.
Washington DC, August 21, 2013. Around one hundred fifty social justice activists from the Bradley Manning Support Network, Code Pink, Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition and other groups rally in front of the White House in support of an unlikely presidential pardon for convicted whistleblower Private Bradley (now Chelsea...) Manning who was sentenced to 35 years in prison this morning for releasing secret government documents to Wikileaks.

Bradley Manning supporters hold vigil as trial verdict is due - London 27.07.2013
Supporters of US Army whistleblower Bradley Manning held a vigil on the steps of St. Martin's in the Fields church near Trafalgar Square to call for Manning to be released as the world waited to hear the trial judge's verdict. As we now know, the brave soldier who blew the whistle on US Army war crimes when he released thousands of US Army cables to Wikileaks, has been found guilty of espionage, but was found innocent of the absurd charge of 'aiding the enemy'. To date nobody has stood trial for the war crimes.

Whistle blower Bradley Manning & Wikileaks supporters rallied at the United States Marine Corps officer recruiting center yesterday in Berkeley California in solidarity with several rallies nationwide and at Ft. Meade Maryland where the young soldier is the subject of a hearing that could have all his charges dismissed based on unlawful pretrial punishment he received at the Quantico Marine Brig facility for nearly 10 months after his arrest.
At the November 27, 2012 hearing the Quantico base commander Col. Daniel Choike revealed in testimony that the military barred or delayed independent analyses of PFC Bradley Manning’s abusive confinement, claiming that Bradley’s defense could “exploit” such a review in the press, and instead sought reviews that would confirm and justify the military’s handling of the young private.
Col. Choike also revealed, near the day’s end, that he didn’t believe from the start that Bradley should have been kept at Quantico. The Marine brig, which had recently been in transition from a post-trial to a pre-trial confinement facility, was meant for short-term detention. Government lawyers told Col. Choike early on that they expected Bradley’s trial to last nearly two years, and Col. Choike told his superiors that he didn’t think Quantico was adequately resourced to hold Bradley for that long, and that Bradley shouldn’t be held there for more than 90 days at most. The military ignored Col. Choike’s qualms, clearly to Bradley’s detriment.
The Berkeley rally was followed by an action that took Shattuck street for several minutes and protesters faced off with police at Shattuck and Addison until a dispersal order was given. No arrests were made.
The hearing is scheduled to last until Sunday and Manning's court martial is set to start on February 4th of 2013.

Description of event

"Since its release of about 2000 diplomatic cables (as of January 7th, 2011), Wikileaks has been subject to extraordinary pressures, seemingly at the behest of the US government. Amazon and EveryDNS have denied Wikileaks internet service and Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and Bank of America have been prevented supporters from donating money to Wikileaks. This is despite the fact that Wikileaks has not even been charged with a crime.
Unfortunately, the situation has gotten even worse. The press has been spreading lies about Wikileaks. Mainstream media outlets do not appear to be doing even the most rudimentary fact-checking. The most blatant of these lies is the idea that Wikileaks has “indiscriminately dumped 250,000 cables on the internet”. This is flat-out false.
A few news organizations, including NPR and InformationWeek, have corrected this mistake, and NPR has even offered an apology. By contrast, most news organizations ranging from the AP to the Wall Street Journal continue to print this falsehood.
We call upon all news organizations to correct previous articles and statements, to issue apologies to their readers, and to take steps to prevent this mistake from occurring in any future articles and shows.
We will be protesting outside the TransAmerica pyramid, across from a San Francisco office of the New York Times, on Saturday, January 15th, at 4pm. On that day, we will be joining in protesting against the repression of Wikileaks with many others around the world, including Washington, DC, and several cities in Canada and Australia.
To counter the New York Times’s censorship of reality, we plan to publish the released cables on the walls of their building. In addition, participants will be provided cable printouts and markers and encouraged to throw down their artistic abilities by adding a graphic representation of their favorite cable to the Cablegate Coloring Book.

Washington DC, August 21, 2013. Around one hundred fifty social justice activists from the Bradley Manning Support Network, Code Pink, Montgomery County Civil Rights Coalition and other groups rally in front of the White House in support of an unlikely presidential pardon for convicted whistleblower Private Bradley (now Chelsea...) Manning who was sentenced to 35 years in prison this morning for releasing secret government documents to Wikileaks.
Whistle blower Bradley Manning & Wikileaks supporters rallied at the United States Marine Corps officer recruiting center yesterday in Berkeley California in solidarity with several rallies nationwide and at Ft. Meade Maryland where the young soldier is the subject of a hearing that could have all his charges dismissed based on unlawful pretrial punishment he received at the Quantico Marine Brig facility for nearly 10 months after his arrest.
At the November 27, 2012 hearing the Quantico base commander Col. Daniel Choike revealed in testimony that the military barred or delayed independent analyses of PFC Bradley Manning’s abusive confinement, claiming that Bradley’s defense could “exploit” such a review in the press, and instead sought reviews that would confirm and justify the military’s handling of the young private.
Col. Choike also revealed, near the day’s end, that he didn’t believe from the start that Bradley should have been kept at Quantico. The Marine brig, which had recently been in transition from a post-trial to a pre-trial confinement facility, was meant for short-term detention. Government lawyers told Col.
