samosamo: It all depends on how many respond, how many don’t respond, how they respond and how they don’t respond.  Defenses of Assange, Manning and Freedom of (timely)(accurate) information isn’t exactly ringing out here in clarion tones.  People seem fairly willing to let the subject die a quiet death—or at least not apply it to the many current opportunities that daily news presents. For instance:  The article on “game changers”; Obama’s recess appointment, where does he stand?; TD Radio and Saving the Internet—why?; the “dispirited” liberal mood - no connection?; Far from a Happy Troop New Year—relation to the leaks?; Save Us From our Devices—which devices?  All these articles are directly or indirectly tied to the WikiLeaks problem and freedom for people to get timely and relatively accurate information.  TD couldn’t even function a day without it, so ... I just wonder why it isn’t a primary concern with everybody and his uncle forming and reforming opinions on related subjects.  I must be woefully single-minded.

Well, from my point of view, 10101 kind of ran off the rails here recently I was searching for comments or corroberation or suggestions or something—anything—that showed that others could see the parallels between finding out about Kissinger’s sins 10 years too late and doing nothing, and having Wikileaks free up evidence of current horrors perpetrated in secret currently, when it is not too late to do something about it.
I was hoping to hear something about people’s concern for Manning and Assange, about ex post facto laws, about civil liberties and freedom of information—that kind of thing.  About saving the freedom of the internet.  Nada.  It’s like dropping a coin down a deep well and never hearing a single sound.  That’s all.

I am not sure who you mean when you say:

““To me it seems a key issue, yet so far nobody
has even acknowledged it.”“

Does that mean us, the commenters? or the
people in the government. For me it is upper
most in my mind just as the ‘nothing’ that
happens to those ‘best and brightest’ in the
financial world just don’t get to do the time and
pay the fine for their part in our financial terrorist
attack. It just doesn’t seem to lend itself to any
remedy considering the ‘closing of ranks’ within
our government and military. And old henry here
is most demonstrative of that.

And I doubt calling our senators and
representatives would do more that get you one
of their obligatory form letters probably about
national security or some national treasure
rigamarole.

If you didn’t try that link I gave you should try it.

I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND PEOPLES ATTRACTION…TO HENRY..MAYBE HIS BROKEN ENGLISH
..GAVE THE IMPRESSION OF AN EXOTIC INTELLECTUAL..HIS BROTHER SPEAKS CLEAR ENGLISH
..MAYBE HENRY WAS PADDING HIS PART..HE ALSO PROPHESIED ...THE ROAD TO PEACE FOR
ISRAEL GOES THRU BAGHDAD ...THAT’S ANOTHER EGG HE LAID ...HE GEORGE W AND IGOR
SHOULD BE IN THE DOCK IN NUREMBERG ...

Thanks Samo.

Did you copy and paste the whole link in the
address bar? Try than and if it still doesn’t work
google information clearing house and go down
the articles, it is about the 10th one down.

What about this business of ordinary citizens finding out about horrible things done by officials, things already done in secret and never made public until it is too late to do anything to prevent the damage or bring about justice?  Is this okay?  To me it seems a key issue, yet so far nobody has even acknowledged it.

Link doesn’t work Samo

Here is a link to ICH where the one hour 20
minute kissassinger documentary can be seen:

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article
6623.htm

A toad of the first order, and I do apologize to all
the real amphibian toads in the world, old
kissassinger has worked out an agreement that
his papers in the library of congress will not be
released until 5 years or so after his death, may
that happen soon.

The documentary showed me that even as so
many people considered this grunt an high
intellectual, he was anything but that and very
self serving, hubristic and amoral. As far as his
roles in several administrations, he was a crap out
as a strategist, a tactician or a diplomat. One
thing he does qualify for and that is a war crimes
trial which is why he certainly doesn’t want his
papers revealed for several years after his death.
His real place I believe is, or should be, is
working in with his zionist friends in izrael as he
surely had to have been a most valued contact for
them. Whatever this devious swindler’s actions he
certainly deserves an appearance in from to the
world court to answer for his crimes.

We should turn Henry over to the South Americans, he has as many fans there as here.

Kissinger, who is not in-fact Human, has no more CONcern for the “rights” of those who are than most of our tame Sisters and Brothers have for the well-being of those among our Relatives here whom they’ve subjected to the degrading and degenerative process of domestication.  Institutionalized abuse gets to be every institutionalized abuser’s just-deserts….sooner or later.

“So who among you will cast the first stone?”

HokaHey!

“I think he’s a war criminal.  I think he’s a liar.”

Evil is. Evil exists.

The Big Lie personified

In this Think Progress account there is plenty of material to use when writing letters to judiciary personnel regarding the release of the classified WikiLeak tapes and the wild charges and ex post facto laws being cooked up against Manning and Assange.

Kissinger’s hideous crimes are only now being “declassified” but their content should have been widely known long ago so that the gross damage he was doing could have been stopped.  Hundred of thousands of lives might have been saved if the public had known at the time and taken action.  Now, it is too late—and he is still collecting big lecture fees for not telling the truth at all kinds of “tea parties” here and there.

If we, the people, can learn the truth at the time it is current (which is our right, by the way) and act to prevent the slaughter of innocent powerless people, we have the moral duty to act before it is too late.  With dark clouds of secrecy around us today under the guise of “security” WikiLeaks gives us a rare chance to redeem our humanity.  Be alert. Pay attention. Speak up. Defend the accused so they won’t be sacrificed.
