It’s time for Donald Trump if elected to act decisively and grant immediate, full pardons to Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Chelsea Manning. These individuals are not criminals; they are heroes who risked everything to expose the deep-rooted corruption and abuses of the American government—revelations that all Americans have the right to know. Assange, an Australian journalist, simply exercised his right to publish the truth through WikiLeaks, standing firmly on First Amendment principles. His only “crime” was revealing to the world what the U.S. government wanted to hide. Snowden, a government contractor, blew the whistle on the NSA’s sweeping, illegal mass surveillance of American citizens, exposing how our own government was secretly intercepting and storing our private phone calls and Internet communications. Manning, a United States Army soldier, courageously followed her conscience, providing Assange with key evidence of government misconduct and upholding the spirit of the ...

Chicago, IL —I have a lot of friends that consider themselves political moderates or even Liberal.   When they saw the wide smile of America’s first Black presidential candidate they somehow fell in love. After suffering eight years with a horrible president, George Bush many of my friends gambled on this unknown African-American, Barack Obama who they figured could never be worse than Bush.   They all simply wanted change particularly with respect to Bush’s ill-advised wars.   Bush wore the Republican label and his detractors called him a Right Wing Conservative.   Bush was mislabeled as a Conservative when he was nothing of the kind.   His rhetoric seemed Conservative but that was always just talk.   His actions were Liberal and Leftist.   He was also not very smart. Bush got us needlessly into two wars that really served no purpose for America.   Attacking Iraq was really dumb.    Had Bush stayed clear...

Berlin, Germany —The Wikileaks massive document dumps exposing mass government deception and corruption inspired this film.  Apparently fugitive blogger/hacker Julian Assange somehow got ahold of the script and completely hated what he’d read in this Dreamworks project. Hundred of thousands of cablegrams were intercepted and forwarded to the Wikileaks organization.  The material was censored before it was published by various news organizations.  Wikileaks went ahead and posted the raw material on line for the entire world to examine. The biggest issue was the material provided by Army private Bradley Manning .  Was manning a spy or a whistleblower?  I think the answer lies in the corruption and deception by our own government.  Manning is doing some serious time over his role.  Frankly I’m on his side of this argument.  Americans have a right to know when their elected officials are engaging in deception to us.  The scriptw...

Berlin, Germany – On a soundstage here filming has begun on the WikiLeaks story.  It surrounds a reporter, Julian Assange who apparently hacked and captured tons of secret government communications. He soon released them to the world.   To no one’s surprise the governments involved have mislead the world of their agendas and conduct.   America has been running a secret government and gotten involved in dubious wars that our citizens know little about.  We learned from Assange and his cohorts that our politicians cannot be trusted.  For his revelations Assange should be a hero.  Letting the world know about the lies, distortions and reality should have brought about political revolt. Instead ignorant Americans continue follow their Judas Goat straight to Hell. My favorite actress, Carice van Houten is playing the spokeswoman for Assange and his group.  I know the film will be good and hopefully it will enlighten the world. I’...

London, UK —This sad saga began when a non-mainstream journalist, Julian Assange obtained a huge amount of undeniable government records and simply published them.  They pertain to the conduct of governments we expect to he honorable, forthright and free.  Primarily the UK and the U.S. lied to their citizens and the world about the issues that led to two wars and thousands of American lives.  We all know that it’s our politicians that send our children off to fight their adventures.   Politicians must rely on public support and to gain that support time and time again through history they use lies and propaganda to achieve their means.   Politicians are serial liars by their very nature.  We all have the liars we prefer but we never demand they tell the truth.  A nation like Switzerland need not fear disclosure of their efforts because that nation is not ever involved with policing the world with their ideals.  Unfortunately the ...
