Bradley Manning to be arraigned at Ft Meade on Feb 23
The US Army last week scheduled a formal arraignment hearing for PFC Bradley Manning, the accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower. The arraignment is scheduled for 1:00 PM EST, February 23, 2012 at Fort Meade, Maryland, just northeast of Washington DC. While the hearing itself is expected to be brief, PFC Manning is expected to be present, and the proceedings are open to the media and public. Washington DC area supporters of the Support Network are encouraged to attend the arraignment.
Court Martial expected in May
Bradley’s show trial will begin in earnest with this arraignment. This proceeding will set the dates for a series of hearings on pre-trial motions likely to occur in March and April. Finally, the arraignment will set the date for the full court-martial—which we currently expect to begin in early May.

Black hoodies: Order one. Order them by the dozen and donate them to occupations!
It took the Fascist U.S. military OVER A YEAR to charge Manning, in the meantime TORTURING him, blackmailing him, like the NAZIS,
criminals they are. Obama should never have gotten the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, continuing the FASCIST BUSH POLICIES, and failing
to prosecute WAR CRIMINALS, MILITARY OFFICERS, for their WAR CRIMES. Manning should win the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, while taking away
Obama's peace prize for his FASCIST NATO, FASCIST U.S. EMPIRE.
Covering up WAR CRIMES through secret classifications, with the help of THE FASCIST CIA'/MILITARY, should be prosecuted to
the fullest for FASCIST COMPLICITY.

ENSLAVEMENT AND CLASS TYRANNY/FASCISM COMES IN MANY FORMS, TODAY FASCIST AUSTERITY, FASCIST CAPITALISM, AND
A FASCIST POLICE STATE IN PLACE, AWAITING ORDERS.
One can clearly see how Bradley Manning/Julian Assange became victism OF FASCISM, WESTERN FASCISM, where both political
parties, the whole political class has slipped, deformed, through CREEPING FASCISM, INTO CLASS/EMPIRE TYRANNY AND FASCIST
CAPITALISM:
Silencing The Critics

EXCERPT:
"In 2010 the FBI invaded the homes of peace activists in several states and seized personal possessions in what the FBI -- the lead orchestrator of fake "terrorist plots" -- called an investigation of "activities concerning the material support of terrorism."
Subpoenas were issued to compel antiwar protestors to testify before grand juries as prosecutors set about building their case that opposing Washington's wars of aggression constitutes giving aid and comfort to terrorists. The purpose of the raids and grand jury subpoenas was to chill the anti-war movement into inaction....
The western media demonizes those at whom Washington points a finger. The lies pour forth to justify Washington's naked aggression: the Taliban are conflated with al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction, Gaddafi is a terrorist and, even worse, fortified his troops with Viagra in order to commit mass rape against Libyan women.
As a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty, Iran has the right to develop nuclear energy. IAEA inspectors are permanently in Iran and report no diversion of nuclear material to a weapons program.
In other words, according to the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the US National Intelligence Estimate, and the current Secretary of Defense, there is no evidence that Iran has nukes or is making nukes. Yet, Obama has placed illegal sanctions on Iran and continues to threaten Iran with military attack on the basis of an accusation that is contradicted by all known evidence.
How can such a thing happen? It can happen because there is no Helen Thomas, who also was eliminated by the Israel Lobby, to question, as a member of the White House press, President Obama why he placed war-like sanctions on Iran when his own CIA and his own Secretary of Defense, along with the IAEA, report that there is no basis for the sanctions.
The idea that the US is a democracy when it most definitely does not have a free watchdog press is laughable. But the media is not laughing. It is lying. Just like the government, every time the US mainstream media opens its mouth or writes one word, it is lying...."
