Bradley Manning Verdict Convicts Washington: US Government is Illegitimate
Bradley Manning’s conviction is more conclusive evidence that the US government is illegitimate.
It
did not take place in a real court with a real jury. The military
officer who served as a “judge” was not impartial. Manning was
convicted for obeying the US Military Code and doing his sworn duty to
report war crimes. There is no difference between Manning’s
“conviction” and the “conviction” of Bukharin as a capitalist spy. Both
trials were political trials.
The
absurdity and injustice of these two convictions tells you all you need
to know about the governments behind the convictions. The governments
are tyrannical. Imagine the US government accusing Manning of aiding the
enemy when the US government itself is supporting al Qaeda’s attempt to
overthrow the Syrian government! And Bloomberg reports that al Qaeda backers in Afghanistan are receiving US military contracts!
Americans
are a gullible people. They do not understand that the “justice
system” is corrupted. Prosecutors and judges have no interest in
innocence or guilt. For them conviction alone is the mark of career
success. The more people a prosecutor can put in prison, the more
successful his career. The more judges bend justice to serve the success
of the government’s case, the greater the probability of promotion to
higher judicial office. American “justice” has degenerated. Willingness
to corrupt the law has become the highest qualification for appointment
to a judgeship or as a US Attorney.
If
Manning had been permitted a real trial, possibly jurors might have
weighed the evidence. Did Manning obey the Military Code or disobey it?
Did Manning serve the public interest or harm it? But, of course,
nothing relevant was part of the trial. In American courts today,
exculpatory evidence is not allowed into the courtroom.
If
a poor person steals a loaf of bread, the government can turn the case
into an act of terrorist sabotage. That’s more or less what the
government did to Bradley Manning.
