Solidarity Callout for Assange (500 daze) and Manning (700 daze) End the Wars!

Ciaron | 20.04.2012 07:48

Today Julian Assange has been detained without charge for 500 days
 http://justice4assange.com/
Next week, Bradley Manning will have been jailed for 700 days without trial.

These two men are facing life in solitary confinement for exposing the nature of the wars millions in the west marched against in 2003.

When we marched in 2003 against these wars, we implicitly incited civilians and members of the military to nonviolently resist these wars. We now owe it to those who resisted and have been dragged before the courts and in chains - our proactive solidarity. Anything else is negligence and abandonment and cowardice. That's the math! It ain't rocket science! They're in chains for us, we're on the loose for them!

In London, we remain on standby to accompany Julian to the Supreme Court.

We return to vigil outside the U.S. embassy whenever Bradley is dragged before the military kangaroo courts of the U.S. On April 24th. Wed 25th Thurs 26th, Bradley will be fronting a military tribunal at Ft. Meade Maryland for a pre-trial hearing. We will be outside the U.S. embassy in London. Others will be inside and outside Ft. Meade. Others will be occupying the Justice Dept in D.C. Others will be on the streets of Cardiff.
We know where Bradley will be!
Where will you be Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday?

Try to find a courageous friend.
If ya can't, don't let that stop ya.
It only takes you and a placard on any street to point out "the emperor has no clothes"

Stand there and watch their death dealing mirage crumble
Think of Bradley who has endured, and faces, so much solitary
...offer it up!
Stay strong, stay staunch, solidarity

See ya on the streets

Bradley Manning's court hearing now starting MONDAY 23rd

20.04.2012 15:14

The US Army has changed the start of next week's hearing from Tuesday to
Monday. Of course this means almost no supporters, and very few media will
be in the courtroom for the start of the hearing (which is still scheduled
to continue through Thursday). The military announced a couple of days ago
in a press release that the hearing would start "Tuesday, April 23" -- as
Tuesday is actually the 24th, everyone assumed this was simply a typo.

* We're trying to get at least a couple of folks in the courtroom on Monday
to observe.
* We'll get a press advisory out tomorrow highlighting this

Related, Attorney David Coombs has published the majority of court documents
that will be at the center of next week's hearing.

More than only the march of thirty million before the U.S. Aggression on Iraq.

In fact these heroes are part of the liberation fronts around the world, and the billions of people who fought the axis power, during the second world war for a truthfull journalism as opposed to the censorship and lying propaganda, that the Imperium puts out as embeded journalism of the monopoly scoundrel media worldwide.

The liberation fronts around the world are truly to put an end to militarization of society, and that means putting an end to aggressive war as any nations foreign policy. Assange and Manning are in that tradition and are the comrades to the liberation side.

U.S. Imperialism which is heading the world Imperialist Camp is lying, and deceiving the worlds mass media into a false flag front. It is the 'Big Lie' redux and deja vu. They are the losers of civilization and the truths of liberation. They are practicing reconquest of the world for resources, and the peoples cultures, and also such fighters and thinkers as Assange and Manning are necessary to the light at the end of the tunnel.

End pollution wars, not endless wars for more and more pollution. That requires re-tooling the means of production in the industrial revolution to the non-pollution solution of the renewables such as wind, tidal, and solar power and get out of coal, gas, oil, the fossil fuels because they are destroying the oxygen content of the atmosphere (already 38% gone to carbon-dioxide and we cannot live on the CO2 replacement) It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that the present society is in fail-safe, because without oxygen our specie and all oxygen breathing animals and plants would die. Workers of the world, unite!! You yet have a world to win!! Free Manning and Assange!!
