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.

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.

Protesters against the imprisonment of Bradley Manning were not allowed near the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building as they hoped. A permit is required to protest there.
On the suspicion that Bradley Manning leaked information to Wikileaks, the U.S. Army has kept him in isolation since his arrest on May 29, 2010. If Bradley Manning is the WikiLeaks leaker, the protesters support him for educating the American people about the realities of war.

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.

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.

A spot of whistle blowing in support of Wikileaks, Snowdon, Chelsea Manning, truth, and whistle-blowers everywhere..
Shortly after the arrest of the Vulture in Saudi Arabia who was really an Israeli spy, see www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1344019/Vulture-tagged-I..., two black vultures, seen here in their file photo released via Wikileaks, were outed as being CIA agents who were trained to infiltrate Venezuela and crap on Hugo Chavez.
The Obama administration has refused comment.
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.

A 1943 version of Wikileaks?
A man walks over the seal of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the lobby of CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, on August 14, 2008. Gen. Michael Hayden, who was replaced as CIA chief earlier this year by President Barack Obama, assailed Obama's decision last week to release "Top Secret" memos detailing the interrogation techniques as "really dangerous" for US intelligence efforts. Speaking on the "Fox News Sunday" program, on April 19, 2009 Hayden rejected claims by critics that methods like extreme sleep deprivation, waterboarding and the use of insects to provoke fear had proved ineffective in getting information from top members of the Al-Qaeda terrorist network.

The Bush administration in its desperation continued to engage in further military adventurism in Iraq, Iran and Somalia. WikiLeaks exposed the obvious that the U.S. imperialist were behind the invasion of Somalia.

"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.

Nearly two thousand supporters of US Army PFC Bradley Manning rallied and marched on Fort Meade, Maryland, this afternoon for the young whistle-blower.
Under a sweltering sun, Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg, former political prisoner-turned-human rights advocate Sarah Shourd, LGBT activist and US Army LT Dan Choi, and retired US Army Col. Ann Wright addressed supporters at the Llewellyn Gate, nearest the military courtroom.
The demonstration, which lasted several hours, comes two days before Manning’s trial is set to begin at Ft. Meade, on June 3, and three years after his arrest. The government is charging Manning with indirectly “aiding the enemy” for releasing hundreds of thousands of war logs, diplomatic cables, and military videos to the transparency website WikiLeaks.
PFC Manning has said that he hoped the releases would “spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as well as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan.”
A dozen chartered buses brought supporters from across the northeast, including three buses from New York City. Military veterans and activists traveled from around North America—some arriving from as far as Michigan, Montreal, and Mexico City.
“People came from great distances to stand with a true American hero,” said Jeff Paterson, director of the Bradley Manning Support Network. “From Bradley’s demeanor in court, it’s clear he takes strength from the outpouring of support.”
Today’s rally was held with the assistance of many national organizations, including Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, CODEPINK Women for Peace, World Can’t Wait, and Courage to Resist.

ADMISSION OF MR. SHAHNAWAZ BHUTTO TO HARVARD
1. RECENTLY PRIME MINISTER AND BEGUM BHUTTO ASKED MY ADVICE ABOUT A PROBLEM CONCERNING THEIR SON, SHAHNAWAZ BHUTTO. BHUTTO LET ME READ A LETTER FROM AMBASSADOR YAQUB KHAN ADDRESSED TO HIS OFFICE WHICH EXPLAINED THAT THE PAK EMBASSY HAD BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THREE HARVARD OFFICIALS TO PRESS THE CLAIM OF SHAHNAWAZ FOR ADMISSION TO HARVARD. THE OFFICIALS WERE THE DEAN OF ADMISSIONS, THE DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS AND THEFOREIGN STUDENT ADVISOR. THE OFFICIALS ADVISED THEM THAT SHAHNAWAZ'S BACKGROUND AND THE ASSOCIATIONS OF HIS FAMILY WITH THE UNIVERSITY WEIGHED STRONGLY IN HIS FAVOR. HOWEVER, THE DECIDING FACTOR WOULD BE HIS ACADEMIC RECORD AND THEY REGRET THAT IN THEIR JUDGMENT IT WOULD NOT BE REALISTIC TO EXPECT SHAHNAWAZ TO BE SELECTED FOR ADMISSION. THE LETTER INDICATES THAT SIDNEY SOBER HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO BE HELPFUL ON THE MATTER BUT HE RECEIVED ESSENTIALLY THE SAME RESPONSE FROM HARVARD. HARVARD APPARENTLY ADVISED THAT SHAHNAWAZ SPEND A YEAR IN A TUTORIAL SCHOOL OR COLLEGE SO THAT HE COULD IMPROVE HIS GRADES.
2. BHUTTO WAS CLEARLY IN A DILEMMA OVER THIS, SO MUCH SO THAT HE ASKED MY ADVICE AS TO WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE THE BEST THING TO TRY TO DO. HE KNOWS THAT SHAHNAWAZ HAS NOT WORKED HARD ENOUGH AS A STUDENT, BUT FEELS THAT A PART OF THE FAULT LIES IN THE ABNORMAL SURROUNDINGS HE HAS HERE AS THE SON OF A PRIME MINISTER. HE BELIEVES HIS SON IS CAPABLE OF MAKING A GO AT IT AT HARVARD AND THAT HE WOULD BE UNDER PRESSURE TO DO SO BECAUSE OF FAMILY PRIDE, AND THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HIS BROTHER AND SISTER AT HARVARD, RADCLIFFE, AND OXFORD. BECAUSE OF THESE PRESSURES, I BELIEVE HE THINKS THAT SHAHNAWAZ WOULD PRODUCE BETTER AT HARVARD THAN AT SOME UNKNOWN PREP SCHOOL.
3. THOSE OF US THAT KNOW SHAHNAWAZ CONSIDER HIM TO BE FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE FROM AN INTELLIGENCE POINT OF VIEW. HE HAS NOT WORKED VERY HARD AT THE INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BUT WE ARE INCLINED TO THINK HE WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A GO OF IT AWAY FROM THE PRESENT SURROUNDINGS AND ASSOCIATES HE HAS HERE IN VIEW OF HIS FATHER'S POSITION. THE FATHER-SON RELATIONSHIP IS A VERY STRONG ONE, AND WHILE I OF COURSE COULD BE WRONG, MY OWN VIEW IS THAT HE WOULD MAKE THE GRADE.
4. RECENTLY AT LARKANA I TOLD BHUTTO IF HE WANTED ME TO I WOULD SEE IF THERE IS ANY ADDITIONAL PERSUASION THAT MIGHT BE PUT TO HARVARD ON THIS CASE, WARNING HIM THAT HARVARD STANDARDS WERE TOUGH AND THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MAKE MUCH INDENT. I SUGGESTED HE MIGHT CONSIDER TRYING TO GET SHAHNAWAZ BACK TO THE STATES JUST AS SOON AS HE COULD GET HIS HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS HERE WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT JUNE 1. IF THE PROPER SUMMER PREP SCHOOL ARRANGEMENT COULD BE MADE, OR EVEN PRIVATE TUTORING, WHICH WOULD BE DESIGNED TO EASE HIS FIRST FEW MONTHS AT HARVARD THIS MIGHT LET HIM DO BETTER IN THE CRITICAL PERIOD JUST AFTER HE ENTERS. I SAID I DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH INFLUENCE SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT MIGHT HAVE ON HARVARD, BUT WOULD HOPE IT MIGHT HELP.
5. BHUTTO EXPRESSED HIS APPRECIATION FOR THESE THOUGHTS AND I GATHER WOULD APPRECIATE GREATLY ANYTHING WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO TO TRY TO INFLUENCE HARVARD TOWARDS ADMITTING SHAHNAWAZ. CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 03 ISLAMA 02662 130807Z
6. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO APPROACH HARVARD FROM HERE AND THEREFORE SEE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO GIVE YOU THE PROBLEM. I, OF COURSE, WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU THINK THE SECRETARY MIGHT BE WILLING TO TAKE A HAND IN THIS ONE HIMSELF. ALSO, I LEAVE TO YOUR JUDGMENT WHETHER PAT MOYNIHAN MIGHT BE USEFUL. PERHAPS YOU WILL HAVE BETTER IDEAS BUT ANY HELP YOU CAN THINK OF WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. BYROADE

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.

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.

WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange's bail hearing, 14.12.2010
I know this is definitely old news as Assange is now out on bail and is holed up in the countryside on mansion-arrest with an electronic tag, but I still wanted to post my own personal record of the day, as a large, international Press scrum and a group of enthusiastic WikiLeaks supporters gathered outside Westminster Magistrates' Court whilst Assange's fate was decided inside.
As we know, he was granted bail, but was sent back to prison because the Crown Prosecution Service objected and lodged their intention to appeal this decision. Bizarrely, they seem to have told a bit of a huge fib to Mark Stephens - Assange's lawyer - by telling him that the Swedish Prosecutor was the party objecting to bail, when it turns out it was the CPP all along!
Two days later their objection was tossed out by a judge at the Crown Court.
In the meanwhile, the American Government continues to behave stereotypically, and is now trying to twist and contort US law to find a plausible excuse for demanding that the bootlicking British Government hand Assange over to them so they can show him first hand how right he was to expose their lies, corruption and iniquities to the public view.
