The Farce of Bradley Manning’s Persecution
At long last, Bradley Manning has been charged. It has only taken almost two years, and was more likely resulting from the military’s inability to ‘break’ him by torture into becoming a star ‘witness’ against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. The death penalty is probably still on the table, despite comments to the contrary, if merely […]

February 8, 2011 by Angry. Red. Tory
Mirjam Eikelboom, independent field reporter. After the positive feedback on the report I did last time – I decided to go once more to London.

January 17, 2011 by Angry. Red. Tory
Thanks for the tip, Mirjam. The Frontline Club video (“PRESS CONFERENCE: Rudolf Elmer”) is approximately 1 hour 10 minutes, but it is worth listening to.

The game plan of the US government is simple: shut down the source organisation, eliminate or discredit its spokesman, and prevent dissemination of already released material. The simple-minded logic implies shutting down […]

Sweden Investigating US Embassy Officials
January 10, 2011 by Angry. Red. Tory

According to this article, Sweden had “launched a formal criminal investigation into “unlawful intelligence activity” conducted by the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm” in early November 2010. The investigation began when U.S. Embassy officials told authorities its employees had been conducting surveillance similar to what […]
