Bradley Manning Gets his sentence today-UPDATE
Today, some time around 10 AM, we will know Bradley Manning’s sentence for letting the world know about the collateral murder of Reuters reporters. You can argue a slew of other issues (that he revealed secrets, he violated his military oath, etc.), but it comes down to the same issue as was present in a […]
Top Ten things in Wikileaks ‘Insurance file’–play along!
Yesterday, it was announced that Wikileaks had uploaded a giant (400 gigabyte) encrypted file (and published links to the file on Facebook) as insurance against bad things happening to people like Julian Assange. This is not the first time they’ve done so– a few years ago when the ‘collateral murder’ and other files attributed to […]
Glenn Greenwald’s partner detained;
So in case you haven’t heard this already, Glenn Greenwald (who broke the Edward Snowden case through The Guardian) reported that his partner David Miranda was detained for nine hours in the UK under Britain’s Terrorism Act. Miranda was in flight from Berlin back to his home in Brazil and not even staying in Britain–and […]
Cultu-ah on da way! This Friday!
There was once this great church in Greenwich Village called WASHINGTON SQUARE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. It drew me back to believing at a time when I had no use for religion, and it gave me access to an amazing and loving community. Alas, it is gone. It opened its doors before the Civil War and […]
A liberal meme I’m sick of
“Never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was legal”: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Okay, I don’t want people to presume I’m dissing Dr. King. When this line appeared in “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” in 1963, it was surely inflammatory–as incendiary as anything ever said to a complacent American public. And it […]

Unemployment, rats and brains
First, where have I been? Lots happening in the world (especially on topics of Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, et al). I will address. But today’s news was the US unemployment figures, proudly trumpeted everywhere–the economy created a cool 162,000 jobs last month! Huzzah! True, it takes 150 thousand just to keep even with population growth, […]
Convicted CIA station chief arrested in Panama
While the US MSM was going all googly-eyed over a new royal, Italy (a NATO ALLY) extradited a CIA Station chief to go to prison for kidnapping an Arab-national from Milan and sending him to face torture in Egypt. Bet the next NATO summit will be kinda… tense. Also, I wonder if the US trained […]
