Bradley: In prison for denouncing war crimes

Just received this email from “Courage to Resist.” Join them and support Bradley: www.couragetoresist.org

“In response to protest, PayPal reinstates our service!

paypalOn Thursday morning, Feb. 24th, Courage to Resist and the Bradley Manning Support Network released a statement “PayPal Cuts Service to Courage to Resist, Bradley Manning Effort”. We did so only after nearly a month of attempting to resolve the impasse with senior PayPal staff.

Hundreds of our supporters responded immediately by contacting PayPal, dozens of major websites highlighted PayPal’s action against us, and over 10,000 people signed an online petition promoted by Firedoglake–all within six hours! By Thursday evening, PayPal relented. There is no doubt whatsoever that this small victory was a direct result of folks like you raising your voice on our behalf. Thank you!

The PayPal issue didn’t affect the primary way we receive donations, and the funds frozen by PayPal were less than $1,000, but we simply couldn’t allow this to happen without making a ruckus.”

President Barack Obama’s Budget Cuts | George W Bush’s 9/11

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Rio

Disappointing!

I heard that President Barack Obama is doing budget cuts to decrease the national debt. He is cutting on many social programs; I know libraries are cutting hours.

The way to get out of debt, however, is by bringing the real terrorist of the 9/11 “attack” to justice, and bring our troops  home. There is enough evidence (even though most have been destroyed) to suggest that Ex President George W Bush and his hidden allies demolished the buildings to have an excuse to go to war. Check: www.buildingwhat.org And that’s where the deficit is created; in wars that help the corporate state and cripple the economy while sacrificing our soldiers and citizens in the name of greed (not freedom).

Will there be an investigation? If there isn’t an investigation our justice system is not to be trusted and the very fabric of our society is in jeopardy.

But wait! Who will do the investigation? The “shadow government” will thwart any possible investigation; the criminal will not solve the crime. We have to face it, the very fabric of our society is in jeopardy. The very least we can do is face it.

Tony the vet is in Del Rio, Texas raising awareness. The man is walking his talk. He should be in New York this year on Sept 11, 2011 to pay homage to the victims of the terrorist attack perpetrated by president George Bush and our “shadow government” against their own people. (See A Loose Change and go from there.) Let’s bring our troops back!
