Keeping the goverments real

Keep up the good job Julian. Good to see some with balls to stand up to the U.S. Goverment. I think your doing a great job keep them real for the people. Would like to see the UFO files released. We all know the U.S. goverment is been keeping this from us for 60 years. To fair that the U.S. Goverment is the only ones to benafit from technology. And to keep us blind sided.. Thanks Again...

World disaster

May WikiLeaks & Julian Assange continue with their disclosures. The people need to know what is going on the world and not be treated like fools. The world will remember Wikileaks long after our simpering PM is gone & I hope that will not be too far in the future - bring back Rudd - at least he has a grip on what the reality of the world situation is. My sympathies go out to the suffering but stoic Japanese in their terrible deprivations due to natures force.

State Dept spokesman PJ Crowley getting rolled after critique Bradley Manning's ordeal.

Reportedly, brutalised Bradley endures 23-hours a day isolation, stripped naked at night (given a tear-proof smock for sleeping). Awakened repeatedly during the night to "ensure he is safe"! Forcibly medicated, possibly given an entire gamut of psychotropic drugs. Ultimately be psychologically broken to confess apropos "incriminating relationship with Assange" (stitched-up proof of active, affirmative engagement). "Guilty of seeking out material, rather than being just a recipient of the leaks"!

crikey.com.au/2011/03/11/rundle-police-investigator-had-links-to-assange-accuser

Police officer, the interrogator in Assange investigation and the woman (her friend and party colleague) who reported Julian, knew each other. The interviewer of second complainant is a leading member of Social Democrats, whose press officer is first complainant. The lawyer of a law firm vested in prosecution is linked to the interrogator, a party friend. Hell-bent to ensure that prosecutors made a charge of rape against Assange. She complained to a superior once being locked out of the process!

There is a reason

I propose as a 'targeted casualty' of the U.S.A. and successive Australian governments, most people on the planet have come to know the U.S.A. and its allies as warmongering HYPOCRITES. Only right-wing lunatics would support a miltarised secretive army of snivelling cowards. The U.S.A. and its allies are the personification of hypocracy, injustice, and two-facedness. Go to Hell U.S.A.!!!

Manifestly, power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

People look at successful revolutions and think that when sufferers of tyranny to cope enough pain, they will revolt to attain democracy. Many think that provocateur agents inundated internet spreads information to inspire oppressed towards the democracy. Does anyone take the perfidious secretary of state seriously? Over her affirmed "free speech" entitlement. Happy to see Iran's secrets disclosed but US draw the line at their own. Happy to see open media yet being adamant to shutdown WikiLeaks.

Demand His Safety Now

Julian is the brain & energy behind Wikileaks. An organisation that provides a safe outlet to inform people of the World when injustice occurs and is not enacted upon by their rulers. The Manning case proves that systems are not always just, he was not heard internally despite his valid concern. His mistake was trusting a third party, Wikileaks would have kept him safe. If we can gather a crowd for Mardi Gras I hope we can gather a crowd to demand the safety of this brave man, an Australian.
