Manning's trials

­Bradley Manning – a hero or a traitor? Will the military do everything to put him in jail? Will he ever see freedom again? How have the mainstream media portrayed Manning? Should he be severely punished for sharing classified data? Or should he be praised for exposing the truth about the infamous US-led wars? Is Bradley Manning being bullied to become an example to potential whistle-blowers? Or is he a threat to US national interests? CrossTalking with Seton Motley, Bob Meola and Jason Branum on Dec. 16.

He`s a traitor....organised criminals in New York,London and Israel will never be free to bankrupt the western world and start World War Three while dangerous traitors like Manning go unsilenced and unpunished!

It seens that the Neo-con is a little upset that someone was brave enough to expose War Crimes which were obviously covered up by the US government. Poor old Seton, it's not his Neo-con day! Of course the problem with Neo-con's is that they seem to think they are talking to the American people, the majority of who beleive every word they say. Especially if they lie enough! That kid has got to be brave considering what the US government has become. It is without a doubt a discrace for the US to cover up these Crimes Against Humanity as they preach Freedom and Democracy around the world. What have they become? Personally I feel very sorry for the American people. They allow their Politicians and corrupt friends to strip everything they beleive in at home and do nothing to stop it. But it was entertaining watching Seton defending the Yemmen President. A friendly dictator to the US who is quite happy killing his own people with the full support of the US government. Al Queda seemed to be a favorite topic for him as well. Of course he forgot to menction that the Al Queda flag flies proudly over Trippoli now, thanks to the US, UK and all their friends who made it possible.  It is no secret who helps the US government in the Middle East and elsewhere, that is it's no secret to the rest of us in the world. The only secrets which are being kept are too the American people. I can see that the Kangaroo Court for Bradley Manning will surely find him guilty, it's far too embarrasing for the American government to have it's dirty laundry made public.  Freedom and Democracy is a concept which is dying in America, it's plain to see. I honestly believe that it is time for all of us who live in the rest of the world to prepare, for when the American Police State comes knocking on our doors. no matter if we beleive in Freedon or Democracy or not!

That Cross Talk perfectly reflects the dilemmas posed by the old European empires and now faced by America and its CIA empire.

We all claimed to be good Christians ......spreading enlightenment superior values to lesser peoples who needed improving....and even today... after all the mass murder and theft and fraud London and Washington are known to have caused we still flounce around the world stage like misunderstood victimised saints and saviours ......and fill our citizens heads with nonsense about the brave military "defending" their country .....when we are some of the worst hypocrites and pirates in history!

I felt sorry for all three of the contributors......because they were each sincerely representing equally arguable positions.... that are all perfectly accurate representations of American/European imperial schizophrenia.....!

A government like this, torturing its own people, deserves defenders like Setley.

As the old saying goes " Intelligent enemy is better

than stupid friend."

Just one question to the guy with the loud mouth, If a German soldier in WWII leaked documents of Nazi atrocities, would he call him a traitor too?

Nick...the "loud mouthed man" would probably have been a Nazi in Nazi Germany....and a hard line Communist in Russia ....and a Likudnik in Israel.....he`s one of mankind`s conformists.....and most of us are like him to some degree.

My apologies to Captain "Loud Mouth for not paying attention to his name"...


Anyway, according to his theory :


1.  The declaration of independence was an act of treason

2.  The founding fathers were all war criminals who deserved the death penalty

3. The United States should not be recognized as a nation 


Can't have it both ways ...
