Goodbye Blue Sky
So now they’re trying to vilify Bradley Manning by saying he’s gay and has “gender issues”, and that it drove him to leak information to Wikileaks as a way of lashing out against Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
It’s a smear campaign meant to vilify both whistleblowers and the gay community as a whole.
I guess it’s only fitting that the Bradley Manning case would be underway at a time when our government is seeking to set indefinite detention of American citizens into legal bedrock. As if indefinite detention of ANY human being isn’t bad enough.
It is a sad day, America. As we sit and watch the very fabric of our liberties fade away into the ether, I feel like a blind man who is seeing the bars of his cage for the very first time.
In the zoo, they build the enclosures to closely resemble an animal’s natural habitat. What has been seen cannot be unseen. What’s a monkey to do when the red, white, and blue backdrop fades away into grey bars and concrete walls?
We can’t afford to get discouraged. We all need to take breaks from time to time and let others take a turn. The price of freedom is not war as we have been brainwashed into believing. It is an educated and concerned citizenry who wants justice not only for themselves and all Americans, but for the world and is willing to get arrested being visible, peaceful and vocal with our government when they do wrong.
Was it his own defense that brought up Bradley Manning’s alleged gender identity issue, in an effort to show his state of mind at the time in question? Or was it the prosecution?
As I never tire of repeating, I have long purchased an annual membership in The American Civil Liberties, and wish more would do the same.
He will never get a fair trial in this country. Hes in terrible position with no way out. He had a purpose for all this and now its backlashes and as usual they try todig up dirt and thought it look good to prey on his sexuality preferences! Yep,that’s pure American extrajudicial system at work folks! 😯
