Justice?!
We don’t need no stinking justice!
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama, a professor of constitutional law, lauded whistleblowers as “part of a healthy democracy [and they] must be protected from reprisal”.

As a presidential candidate in 2008, Barack Obama, a professor of constitutional law, lauded whistleblowers as “part of a healthy democracy [and they] must be protected from reprisal”.
In 2012, the campaign to re-elect
President Barack Obama boasted on its website that he had prosecuted more
whistleblowers in his first term than all other US presidents combined.
Before
Manning had even received a trial, Obama had pronounced the whisletblower
guilty. Manning was subsequently sentenced to 35 years in prison, having been
tortured during his long pre-trial detention.

John Pilger shows that justice has simply departed the West. It cannot be found anywhere within the confines of Western “civilization.”
One reason that Washington is currently trying to
overthrow the Ecuadoran government is to have the puppet Washington installs
revoke Julian Assange’s political asylum. Time is running out on the corrupt
Swedish prosecutor, Marianne Ny, who works for Washington, not for justice. So
Washington has decided to overthrow a government in its quest for revenge
against one journalist.
Is America “a light unto the world, a shinning city
upon a hill,” or is America a cesspool of injustice, injustice that has spread
and now infects the entire Western world?
