U.S. building case against Assange through Bradley Manning trial

Submitted by Flowerpower on Sun, 25/12/2011 - 7:51am

In an ominous turn of events the pre-trial hearing of Bradley Manning is now being used to build a future case of espionage against Julian Assange. The military prosecution has now introduced evidence that supposedly not only directly links Julian Assange to Bradley Manning but that Assange directly "coached" Manning into how to obtain government documents. The evidence comes in the form of selected transcripts of supposed chat logs between the two men found on Manning's computers.

Why people get on boats and why we should help them

192 YEAR WAIT

There are no displaced or persecuted peoples' offices in places like Sri Lanka, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan therefore the only choice is to flee.

These people would not 'get on boats’ if we actually offered them resettlement options. Therefore we leave people desperately needing to leave immediately and with other choices.

My Christmas letter - The Little Drummer Boy:

Christmas pending, and a new year around the bend, and for many of us in the spate of a week so will come to pass contemplations for a reclamation of personal reforms. Some of us will take on some reforms, and change some of our ways, however for the majority of folk we shall return to business as usual.
