If YOU Inform Public Of What US Gov Is Doing-THEY Will Track You Down & Turn Your Life Into Hell

Criminalizing the Truth-Tellers

By Lawrence Davidson
March 5, 2011

Editor’s Note: Secrecy is a crucial element of government misconduct. So, it was no accident that pretty much the only Americans punished for torturing anyone were the lowly guards at Abu Ghraib who allowed photos to be taken and released, forcing President George W. Bush to make examples of them even as he was authorizing the same thing.

More typically, high-level government officials control what the public gets to see and thus can operate with impunity. When that high-level control is threatened, it is the truth-tellers who must be made an example of, as Lawrence Davidson notes in this guest essay:

There is no doubt that Julian Assange, the head of the WikiLeaks organization, and Bradley Manning, the soldier who allegedly leaked U.S. classified documents, are being singled out and made examples of by the Obama administration.


Their suffering constitutes a message which goes like this:

If you inform the public of what the United States government is doing, no matter how illegal and disgusting the disclosures might be, our police and intelligence agencies will track you down and turn your life into hell. We will do that to you whether we can prove you committed a crime or not (as in the case of Assange) and we will do it to you even if it runs counter to our own legal codes (as in the case of Manning).

8. Julian Assange & Bradley Manning

Heroes of American Democracy.

The line between US and THEM is becoming clearer every day.

Nobody in our government is representing US.


WhenThe Working Class & The Poor realize WE have more in common with each other
than we have in common with the RICH Ruling Elites of BOTH Political Parties,
WE can demand "CHANGE".


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans."

10. I'm currently involved in that-my approach is to let every citizen know--even though that's not

possible today since an informed citizenry is a requirement for democracy.
