Chelsea Manning Is Ordered Released from Jail
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/12/us/politics/chelsea-manning-released-jail... A Federal District Court judge overseeing the matter, Anthony J. Trenga, said that he also dismissed on Thursday the grand jury that Ms. Manning was refusing to testify before after finding that its business had concluded. "The court finds that Ms. Manning's appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed, in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose," Judge Trenga wrote. https://cryptome.org/2020/03/manning-041.pdf

A toast to Ms Manning! Damn fine hero to many of us - absolutely staunch in her refusal to testify against Assange! Manning, you are a literal hero and a great example for future generations of a human voluntarily choosing suffering by jail etc imposed by the empire, and to not compromise your own principles. On behalf of the world, on behalf of Assange, and on behalf of every Soul with a spine, thank you Chelsea Manning! Any time you're in this neck o' the woods, you're welcome to a tour of the local sights, a meal and a beer on me... I am truly grateful and humbled. Thank you.

Moar weight they shall say! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture https://twitter.com/NilsMelzer/status/1238086155205324800 Long due time "governments" recognize when someone says they won't talk. That's a human right, and a freedom exemplar. Highly informative and confirmative expose that abusive thugs known as "governments" step to such pointless stripping of social contact in solitary kidnapping, banning comms with lawyers and friend support, poor food and healthcare, stealing money and property, no bail, and mental and physical torture to the point of suicide and martyrdom. Fucking shame on them. Doing any of that grossly tilted bullshit to anyone is a crime in almost every book on the planet, and a crime regardless. You would be arrested and prosecuted were you to do it to someone. Manning and Assange NEVER did such harm to anyone. These political persecutions and witch trials against those who've done nothing but expose and embarrass GovCorp must end. Prosecute these criminals in governments and shut them down. Go Chelsea! #FreeAssange https://twitter.com/xychelsea https://twitter.com/assangedefense Chelsea should not pay these Govt extortionists one penny of their "fines", and they should be prosecuted for theft if they try to take anything from her.

Aye, da, and yes! And more so, Assange, and Manning, each deserve some serious reparations for the respective witch hunts against them - Assange's case which is yet to resolve, and the very recent Manning matter whereby the empire attempted to coerce her and break her will by imprisonment, grand jury, indefinite time period of incarceration, etc - "cruel and unusual punishments" and in the case of Manning, AFTER she had been pardoned - nothing but a vindictive empire-arse covering exercise to bring a chilling effect against anyone considering emulating Assange or Manning, and to break Manning's will and to break her loyalty to not testify against Assange. Speaking of conscience and conscientious objection ... Did I mention "conscience"? Manning now free - again, after a ridiculous and (up to now) indeterminate or rather indefinite (i.e. infinite) detention, AFTER being pardoned, and soon Assange (we surely hope - and pray, for those who ack consciousness far beyond mere human). Thank you Manning. Thank you Assange. You are each heroes of righteousness, for which we are individually and collectively grateful.

STILL WAITING FOR CLARIFICATION! It IS NOT CLEAR whether she's been released because the Grand Jury has finished it's term, just to be re-incarcerated when a new Grand Jury is convened, or whether she's been completely relieved of the court-demanded "responsibility" to reiterate her court martial testimony. The latter is SERIOUSLY UNLIKELY until Julian Assange is exonerated. After all, they released her after the last grand jury was termed out, and then immediately put her back in a cell again because Double Jeopardy doesn't apply. She not being charged with anything, She's being held to coerce her to comply with a court order that she testify about whether she gave Assange her wikileaks password. She claims she already answered that during her court martial and the government's demand she re-state her testimony is an attempt to entrap her if her testimony varies by even a word, which IS how the feds manage to imprison people they can't otherwise convict. By claiming you lied or perjured if your testimony varies. It's criminal, and it's common, and even if you look at the people around presidents who end up convicted in federal courts it's rarely for the original charges and typically for that bit of entrapment. They ask you the same questions over and over. Show up at 12 midnight for another interview, and literally harass you until you crack and attack them so they can blow you away , or find some discrepancy and jail you for lying. About that 'blowing away' thing. See this tag at my tumblr about what they did to an acquaintance of the Boston Marathon Bomber. https://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/tagged/todashev Rr
