[jagman]

Who is Bradley Manning??? I understand all you guys showing
support but there are many questions surrounding
Bradley Manning.All most people know about Bradley Manning is
that his online name was bradass87. All I personally
know is he leaked some documents to Julian Assange who later
published it. ( A lot of embarrassing stuff but no
real big bombshells yet!)

Questions 1.What lead Brad to release
these documents?
2.Why did he release them to Julian Assange?
3.Who was he before he joined the army?
4.Did he get paid for the document dump?

From Wikipedia



Bradley Edward Manning (born December 17, 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was arrested in May 2010 in Iraq on suspicion of having passed classified material to the website WikiLeaks. He was ultimately charged with 22 offenses, including communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source and aiding the enemy.[1]
Assigned to an army unit based near Baghdad, Manning had access to databases used by the United States government to transmit classified information. He was arrested after Adrian Lamo, a computer hacker, told the FBI that Manning had confided during online chats that he had downloaded material from these databases and passed it to WikiLeaks. The material included videos of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 250,000 United States diplomatic cables; and 500,000 army reports that came to be known as the Iraq War logs and Afghan War logs. It was the largest set of restricted documents ever leaked to the public. Much of it was published by WikiLeaks or its media partners between April and November 2010.[2]
Manning was held from July 2010 in the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico, Virginia, under Prevention of Injury status, which entailed de facto solitary confinement and other restrictions that caused international concern. In April 2011 he was transferred to Fort Leavenworth, where he could interact with other detainees.[3] He pleaded guilty in February 2013 to 10 of the 22 charges, which could carry a sentence of up to 20 years.[4] Prosecutors will pursue a court-martial on the remaining charges, including aiding the enemy, which could carry a life sentence. The trial began on June 3, 2013.[5]
Reaction to his arrest was mixed. Denver Nicks, one of Manning's biographers, writes that the leaked material, particularly the diplomatic cables, was widely seen as a catalyst for the Arab Spring that began in December 2010, and that Manning was viewed as both a 21st-century Tiananmen Square Tank Man and an embittered traitor. Several commentators focused on why an apparently very unhappy Army private had access to classified material, and why no security measures were in place to prevent unauthorized downloads.

[christian]

A friend one facebook just commented on my "I am Bradley Manning" picture, also expressing concerns about what Bradley did:




Friend I served with posted something about this guy the other day prompting me to look him up. Very troubled soul--not sure how much of what he did was for the public good as opposed to attention. You know I sympathize to an extent, but he put a lot of military personnel in danger with his betrayal. I have mixed feelings about it.

This was my reply:




I see where you're coming from, fully understood...his exposing of war crimes was definitely the right thing to do, I figure. But he leaked a huge amount of data to Wikileaks after all, and revealing critical information that puts people at risk is not cool of course... I hope that at the end of the day, his actions helped active soldiers and people in general to realize that the US is engaged in war crimes. All these wars really shouldn't go on, even more than "winning" them, I think we've got to discern the atrocities that are commited in them and where their roots are, to realize that the real enemy are hideous special interest groups that play us all of against each other. They surely don't like what Bradley Manning did, which shows me that he must have done something right.

I am Bradley Manning for no other reason than he is a young man who leaked information to the world proving that the US is involved in war crimes and is covering it up.

He stands for the little man in face of the Goliath of shadow government. The secrecy of the world government is the fundamental reason they can propagate abuses in wanton disregard for sacred life.

To throw embarrassing stuff just about on anyone is always possible,
however . If the 30 page statement Bradley read as an explanation and to his defence is truthful , it's more than obvious that there were strong moral motives involved in letting those files out ,
that he took time to think about his decisions and that he acted without hesitation and very little sense of self protection .


''I am Bradley Manning'' means , I have character first of all, I am free , intelligent and responsible being ( add human being where it fits ) who is obliged to take personal responsibility for others and myself ( not only for ones little self as opposed to the previous ) when confronted with large humanitarian calamity and disaster .
No matter what I was taught in kindergarden , school, army, or any other human organisation ( to obey my superiors and respect commonly accepted laws )

I am free , responsible and capable to decide what's right and not when needed, I am there to give hand to others and to the good if I am the only one with hands left even if some human law dictates otherwise .

As far as I'm concerned personally, I can empathise big way because I'm not too far from where he is . I've had to take spontaneous and humanly correct decisions when facing events that affected not only me but the course of human history,
and I think or thought, that everyone in my situation would do the same .
I knew I will speak against almost everyones taught opinion, and against myself being accepted as 'correct' part of current human contingency ,

and I had no fan club clapping hands behind my back or power structures supporting me ,
what I did not know is still worse ..

And just for claiming sovereign decision, responsibility and adherence to truth I am treated like an outcast by general society , including friends whose integrity and capacity I trusted, I am ridiculed and losing the hope,

not because there is no chance for the truth to win but because ..and before it shall ever win, we all will be aged and wrinkled and drolling to our laps so to say and will forget all the substantial matters . Because I see how the inhumane , wicked part of society is taking over , the society we thought to be part of, to uplift, to help .


Who will be the friend of this grand jury and prosecution if truth is considered a crime, if freedom of moral decision is equalled to 'aiding the enemy' ,
if value of human life equals to one of a drone or even less . No one, in my honest and humbled opinion will respect each other anymore .


So I think, I have every right to say that . Despite the fact that more than half of those who listen and read such statements can not make any sense of them,
simply because they don't care and secondly, because they feel they have the right to belittle and hurt , because of someone unknown who told them we are all enemies ..

It's a hopeless world from the core of my heart at many instances and it's not Bradley against US Prosecution alone, this time, it's about how many moral borders are you willing to cross yet to make us all slaves .

[naste.de.lumina]

The veteran back to the USA and is treated like garbage. Dies from lack of proper treatment or waiting for the paperwork you give alms, or in hospitals falling apart. The government does not want to know them. Are costly.
Then, on the lives of those they are speaking that was put at risk? These same soldiers who return to be treated as outcasts?
Something does not make sense here. Who is at greatest risk in this story is a lie.
Are at great risk humans are forced to live on daily tons of lies.

WEAREONE, I'm not sure this is the right thread to share my opinion. I understand
the symbolism of the little guy standing up to a shadowy out of control government
but Bradley had to have known he was going to get caught. He also knew the
consequences of getting caught. (20 years to life in Leavenworth!)
So why would a young guy like Bradley, who has his whole life ahead of him
risk it all? Was it just out of principal & morals or was there another agenda?
Another thing that bothers me about the "I am Bradley Manning campaign" is
Hollywood's involvement. Most stars in Hollywood don't really live in reality and
there's also the Illuminati aspect. I just have a lot of questions WEAREONE that's
all.

Hi jagman,

Of course there are questions here and we will most likely never be given the answers. Since I started this thread I want it to be clear what the intent was. There is a message behind the Bradley Manning case, persecution and trial which begs to be answered. It is the same question you asked yourself when you saw the mother abusing her little girl in public.

Where do we draw the line, when do we take a stand instead of being suckered into endless speculation and theory?

We will never know if Bradley Manning is a victim of mind control, if he was set up to take the fall, if the posturing of Hollywood is only because egocentric stars feel the pull of publicity, etc. Whether he acted out of his own morals and principals, whether he was tricked into releasing the files, whether he has subsequently been infiltrated, all of this bears little weight when considering that he is going to take the fall for some shadowy operation. He is a pawn in the game now no matter what angle you see it from and he is set up to be sacrificed.

My stand is that enough is enough... no more games, no more war, no more Apache helicopters or drones shooting down innocent people. If standing by a man named Bradley Manning is what it takes to unite us and get a message out I feel compelled to join my voice with others.

Thanks for listening, and maybe the place to discuss Bradley Manning is on this thread.

I hope we all do have the right to ask questions and seek for answers till we can ..

I'd ask the jury here, how possibly , 22 year old intelligence analyst stationed in Iraq which is a specific war zone that's all we are told,
got his hands on vast database of diplomatic cables , how possibly such cables are not encrypted to greater degree so that any private individual can download them at all,
but I have to confess and we all know that question and answer to this is far beyond our 'need to know' , at least so it seems .

In my humble opinion, embassies and documents passing between them are not subjected to military intelligence of any country than their own and what they share is their sovereign right and matter .
Whoever has accumulated such a database , had to use complicated and covert channels with aim to have all under their control so
here comes all the anguish about Sgt Manning exposing the fact in open.

He had to break his loyalty to the military at this point and the only sensible moral that makes sense to me is that they should send him home as unfit for combat .

I don't question his moral stand though, he had to be aware to some extent what is it he is passing forwards and took justice to his hands,
and with his friend ( the computer hacker mentioned above ) reporting him , that's called a betrayal between friends,
no matter on what side they think they're in any particular moment .

It's mostly all about us 'ordinary beings' in extraordinary circumstances and what each of you/us would do is plane speculation, clearly .


Why did he risk it all ? Because he had that tiny little chance to change something big ,
in favour of freedom of information, in my best opinion,

tiny little chance that things get out as they are, imagine he could have been stopped much earlier and we would never hear about him nor what has happened.
If someone checked his pockets before he uploaded those files to Wikileaks there would be no Bradley Manning, just another nameless soldier and the tracks would be covered.
Because we are facing still larger humanitarian disaster on this planet , scientists who can are screaming about it, and those with eyes to see and minds to think can not miss what is happening

but governments, armies, even religious leaders go on and on with their wars and agendas and pretend everything is just fine. It's not only they do not have solutions, they're even not searching for one.

[Sierra]

All the more honor to him that he did not betray in turn. (Trotting off to find camera...)

[jiminii]

So why would a young guy like Bradley, who has his whole life ahead of him
risk it all?


My guess .....To do the right thing, as every human being should for human rights.

this is theta ... theta tries to align entheta ... and there is enough theta on the planet now that the theta trying to align the entheta tried several sources ... went to the cabal news ... and they will just laugh at him ... so the more resistance the more he goes for it ... he wants to align this thing that bothers him ... Integrity of a spirit is more important than your immediate life . but in this day an age with all the disinformation going around they have desensitized everyone by constantly destroying our environment and our ability to fight back ... that someone finally decides ... "IT IS ENOUGH" .. and gets up the power in him to dump it all on the web .. of course he didn't expect that he would get caught ...

but getting caught comes from his inner being ... which really wants to stand up against them and put it straight in the courts .. so that it doesn't get lost like everything else does ...

so he has as a guide .. something much more powerful than he ... and that is what is coming out of him ... he is awakening to his own power as a being ... and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it ... it shows up in the court and world wide .. all the people following this ... all their combined theta is pushing it and pushing him saying "this is enough" ... and this pulls all their withholds ...(withhold is something you don't want someone else know because they might do something to you) .. and now who ever guided him spiritually ..managed to PULL ALL THEIR JUNK OUT ...enough of it so they CAN"T HIDE anymore... .. and this is what is amazing ... pull someones withholds in front of the world .. and you have finished him ... no one will believe him anymore ... he is done ... and that is we ... awakening ... and it will continue ..

My point exactly Fred. There are many unanswered questions surrounding
this situation.

I simply stated "he should not be held" because I feel the same way as Jagman,

There is something else going on here, WIKILEAKS is not what it seems to be, nothing that was released had any significance whatsoever, it was a joke "leak" to relieve pressure & in fact supported the war effort.

In other words it seems to me to be a very smart CO-INTEL-PRO move.

This is my opinion of course, after 13 years of working in area's like Manning & a deep understanding of military communications.


Either way, he should not be held.

Were something like this actually to happen (if it even COULD, at the scale it did) it would be much much worse for the military... wiki-leaks is "pro" afgan/iraq war if nothing else.

Sorry to say but your dealing with hardliners in the US military and a government secrecy, which is boarder line paranoia, truth and peace are unfamiliar words to these people.:(

No doubt you are correct and I am no Pollyanna. Time for them to wake up and learn some new words then.

Really I do understand but by one grain of sand an avalanche forms.....

[Maia Gabrial]

I agree with you all! Let his case break things wide open against the military for violating him in every conceivable way. None of it should have happened...

Please keep this simple.... We are together in this - it is time we stand united.

To continue this thread within the spirit that was intended by the OP i have enlarged the text for those that maybe require a visit to spec saver.

If you are NOT Bradley Manning, please create a new thread saying why.

When i listened to Julian Assange last year he said that Wiki Leaks was not Bradley's first port of call. He tried other media outlets but not one of them would touch this material. Wiki Leaks was his last choice and the only one who would go ahead with the material.

Please respect the OP's request. Keep it simple and united.

Yours

I am Bradley Manning :grouphug:

My understanding is that it is unthinkable a low ranking guy like Manning, could have single handedly gathered that much super sensitive information. He must have had help, but wound up the unwitting fall guy.

Hey Fred,

Well, for all I know, he was actually a kind of desk military guy.

He used to work with IT or something like that, and he was the guy responsible for making backups and organizing tons of data, including a lot of sensitive stuff.

So, what he actually did was to make a few extra backup disks for himself, them gradually released the intel to a wikileaks contact, communicating with him via IRC chat.

He´s a homosexual, and according to his testimony, he became emotionally involved with his wikileaks contact, then he started to careless release a lot of intel; I guess he made it to impress the guy. It´s still not clear to me if the wikileaks contact was also emotionally involved or if he was actually manipulating Brad to extract as much intel as he could from him.

He was following a bunch of anonymity protocols to protect his ID, until eventually he got too comfortable and made a mistake; That´s when they caught him.

As a side note, the information was indeed sensitive, but not top-secret. He used to deal with tons of sensitive info, as it was his job to manage them.

He was a 35F - Intel Analyst , NOT an IT guy (which actually gives him more of a reason to be accessing classified info than an IT guy like me).

It's the material released that I call into question, dipomatic corrispondances that put the US in a good light , reports that say we need more troops to afganistan, not a single negative thing (other than that bate video (IMO) that was easily debunked) THIS is why I think people should doubt wiki-leaks... it hasn't really done anything significant at all.

But still, the treatment of him is unjust (especially in the light of what I just said) I don't think Manning was a "willing fall guy", not at all.

just another patsy.

My 4 legged buds were reading this thread over my shoulder, and demanded to have their say as well. They were rescued from abuse and doggie jail after all, so they know...

We are ALL Bradley Manning.

Thanks for listening, and maybe the place to discuss Bradley Manning is on this thread.

Thank you, I shall express my grave reservations of this there then.

I could not help myself than looking to his eyes .. as if he wants to say something, from deep within, something like ''never give up the fight for truth '' . Maybe he wants to say he won't be with us for long now but we must not give up .

I kept looking to this picture of Nelson Mandela on news page for good half an hour then saved it to my photos . I just seldom do that with peoples photos.
It would be great honour to meet him in real time but it's probably not going to happen considering . However, I take he is with us, and is also Bradley Manning.


Speedy recovery ...

Hi Friends, great show of BM's.
Way back someone asked who is Bradley Manning ?
Well i think he may just be the 'man' that inspires other people to do the right (just) thing.
If we expose injustice as soon as we see it, in spite of the reactions that we know will follow we show our friends not to fear the truth.
If the truth is'nt good enough, there is something very sick in the mind of the deniers.

It's a pity there was no Internet when the Nazis were setting up their 'gas chambers' i'm sure there were many conscripts who whispered to friends and Family, you won't believe what I saw today.
Had he had access to the internet he would have shouted it too the whole world.

Regards, Brenie. ( I am Bradley Manning )
