the great american witch hunt

since may 2010,
before any kind of trial at all has taken place,
bradley manning rots in solitary
confinement,
“being denied exercise, any kind of social
interaction & sunlight” as well as often
“being kept completely naked”
clearly undergoing what some have rightly called
torture---
julian assange’s life is threatened on a
daily
basis
& if no one kills him before he is imprisoned for life
or executed
in this
great american witch hunt
you can bet your bottom dollar that
the EMPIRE will do everything that they can to
silence him &
shut down wikileaks
screaming & thrashing
having its little temper tantrum
because some of its
EVIL
WAYS
have had a bright light shined on them.

meanwhile,
you & i can either climb to the highest
mountain that we can find in these here
united states
stand on the edge of a cliff
and together,
we can raise our hands & wave goodbye to
the
first amendment as mr. obama & co.
“pursue the prosecution of more whistleblowers
than any other administration in US history”
then subsequently
jump off into the quiet &
complete annihilation of our freedom of speech---
or,
because manning, assange &
so many anonymous others
are simply individuals
who
WANT
THE
TRUTH,
we can join them!
we can stand beside them & support them
in any way possible!
at the very least we can understand that they are
heroes that should be honored as being
vital
voices &
promoters of a better humanity---
one
that cannot
that WILL NOT
be
undermined by the overwhelmingly oppressive
forces
that still thrive amongst us.
