CHELSEA MANNING AND BARACK OBAMA PART 2

Chelsea Manning has appeared in a rigged kangaroo court of the US military and charged with some of the most ridiculous nonsense that a military prison system and possible conjure up.

Chelsea has already endured years of military abuse and political abuse because the president of the United States of America has seen fit to prosecute a soldier for crimes committed by the US government and US army.

Is Chelsea going to be kept in the disgusting circumstances of the military prison system until the whole of her 35 years sentence is completed and suffering the indignities of those court cases such as the one recently trumped up - you know, the expired tube of empty toothpaste - what an absurdity - and what has the president done to stop this nonsense?

Obama finishes his term of office in 2016 and leaves that position as one of the worst presidents in US history, Considering how many criminal and other bad presidents there have been since the north fought the south and won and "united" the country as the United States of America, some 250 odd years ago, that is quite some achievement - of the wrong sort!

CHELSEA MANNING AND BARACK OBAMA PART 1

When Barack Obama became president of the United States of America he made some promises which he broke soon after the election and soon after he became the president in that election.

Obama promised to close Guanatanamo Bay Concentration camp in 2008. We are now in 2015 and Guantanamo is still open despite the current thaw between the US and Cuba.

Obama promised a fair deal and support for whistleblowers. Think of Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and many others. Their treatment at the hands of the US administration has been criminal and the current behaviour towards Chelsea Manning is not only criminal but human rights abuses of the worst kind.

It is not Chelsea Manning who should be behind bars but Barack Obama and those who have supported him through these travesties of justice in which this young person is being treated worse than some of the US mass murderers and the processes by which guns are more or less freely distributed in the US to anyone who wants them.

Chelsea Manning should not have been sent to Iraq in the first place. That in itself was an abuse of power, and it only got worse stage after stage in the process.

And what about the whole story with Julian Assange and many of those in the USA who have been locked up whistleblowers.

The so-called greatest democracy on earth which supports the greatest apartheid state on earth Israel and punishes in concentration camps growing smaller by the day as their lands are stolen in large chunks for Jewish religious fanatics who mostly come from the USA.

Barack Obama's legacy will not be one to be credited with any great achievements.

But the treatment of Chelsea Manning is one of the darkest episodes in modern USA history.

TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP - IS THE AUSTRALIAN LEFT IGNORANT, OBLIVIOUS, NON-EXISTENT

Ever since Barack Obama became president of the United States of America he has set out to prove that Democrat presidents are as right-wing, reactionary, and determined to conquer those parts of the world not yet in the US sphere of influence as is possible. Where it doesn't seem possible, this president will utilise all the business power available to him to turn the world into United States satellite states as so many of them already are!

The original treaty which was supposed to be the be-all and end-all of all trade partnerships was the North America Free Trade Alliance (NAFTA)consisting of Mexico, the United States and Canada.

The results of NAFTA for these countries after about 20 years since inception has been loss of jobs, factory closures and organisations establishing themselves in countries outside the NAFTA areas.

Much more recently Obama and the US government tried to push through items such as SOPA, PIPA and others of their ilk in order to control what you can access on the web and to stop downloading of films and music clips around the world.

Organisations across the USA opposed to SOPA and PIPA collaborated in one of the most successful online actions yet seen around the world and organised a web blackout on 18 January 2013.

Because of its success the Obama administration and allies designed a new series of actions which they tried to fast-track through Congress - so far unsuccessfully - of a trade group called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). This is in addition to NAFTA and a trans-Atlantic free trade zone incorporating Europe.

Despite attempts in Australia to wake up activist and left organisations to demonstrate, write about, collaborate and influence the public as to the dangers of TPP, nothing has happened.

In the mean time, Congress in the USA is busy pushing through a bill which is about to remove net neutrality so that we will all be censored and pay more for internet service provisions if our service providers don't accept what the big multi-national organisations wish to control.

It really is time that the locals found out what is going on and understood what threats there are to what is left of our so-called democratic rights.
