Who're the traitors . . .

. . . to humanity?

  1. I saw this video when it was first released and still remain as shocked and disgusted by the callousness as I was then. I feel very sad about the fate of Bradley Manning, a martyr to unrelenting power.

  2. The answer to your question: We all are!

    And not only in those horrible moments.

    With sobbing tears and shame!

  3. But then I read about Chelsea Manning, and the few people who understand and admire her.

    The price to pay to be fully human is high. But some people are willing to pay it. I haven't given up on humanity yet.

  4. Yes, they laughed, Ashley.

    Susan,
    I posted it soon after its release, but at the end of the Manning trial thought I ought to do it again.

    Claude,
    I (think I) know what you mean. However, this sounds too much like collective guilt. I do not accept this.
    I do confess, though, that not seldom I do wish the Cheneys and Rumsfelds, the Bushs and Obamas a long-lasting miserable end.

    Oh, do I need to mention this "pious wish" goes for any despote on this planet, and the lowlifes ensuring their power?
