My Letter to Bradley Manning

Bradley,

TRUST YOURSELF
KEEP THE FAITH
KNOW YOUR POWER
ACCEPT YOUR FATE

Do not try and bend the spoon, that is impossible.
Instead, only try to realize the Truth...there is no spoon.
Then you will see, it's not the spoon that bends...
it's only yourself.

-Jonathan

Are the "powers that be" thwarting our evolution?

What if transparency is necessary for the human race to evolve to the next stage of our evolution?

Has our government, military or big businesses helped us evolve in that regard? No. They are using the power of secrecy to keep power...but secrets are like sand and truth is rock...if you build your fortress on sand, it doesn't take long before the cracks begin to show. The only way to save it, is shore it up with rock (if it's not too late)...already most people don't buy what the governments are selling, so how long do they have before they get washed away?

"Transparency is the Apocalypse" or "the Truth shall set you free" (if you remember that one). When Dorothy pulled back the curtain, she realized all that hype was just a little old man pulling strings to make think he was more powerful than he really is...sound familiar?

All whistle blowers are is people who have become privy to those secrets, and they KNOW the rest of the world wouldn't be happy at what our leaders are doing...so they tell us...and so far, they pay the price. They need our help. Amnesty for transparency would be a great start.

Manning's Motives

Manning went to with his concerns to a commanding officer (as is protocol) and was told to shut the f*ck up. He went around his commanding officer to another superior and was told likewise, STFU. After enough denials, he decided (after a great debate with fellow computer hacker LAMO that you can read online) he would leak all of these practices to the media (thru WikiLeaks, since most mainstream media wouldn't have published it) so the world could see what it's leaders and military were really up to.

That's called "blowing the whistle" on immoral and illegal behavior by those in power. Whistle blowers are those who risk their lives to save the world from incredible malfeasance by those who were elected or put in power to be responsible. Is that treason? Thomas Jefferson would say "hell no." That's being the best patriot America could ask for.

I would've done the same.

The last time this happened was when the "Pentagon Papers" were leaked to Daniel Ellsberg and published by the New York Times in 1971. The Supreme Court ruled that since the government was lying to public about civilian deaths in Vietnam and military actions, the public had a right to know. It changed the course of the war.

Here's a significant difference: The Pentagon Papers were filed "TOP SECRET"...the government cables Bradley Manning leaked (allegedly) were only filed "CLASSIFIED". When President Obama claimed "This isn't the same as what Daniel Ellsberg did" he was right...but not the way he thought he was. Bradley Manning is another whistle blower...and he should be free.

My trip to the "Free Bradley Manning Rally"...six weeks early

So I drove down to Leavenworth, Kansas today for a "Free Bradley Manning Rally"...that was happening six weeks from now. I had a funny feeling something was wrong when I got to the address for the protest an hour late, and no one was there. The next funny feeling I had followed re-reading the two links I had seen about the rally...I had read them both incorrectly.

Soooo...Leavenworth. I'm here...in a clash of decisions I sung, "should I stay or should I go?"

I meditated for a bit, creating space to find out why I was here...then a thought hit me: I wonder if I can ask for and receive an impromptu interview with Bradley Manning...ask, sure...receive? Hmmm...

I took several deep breaths and decided I was doing nothing wrong, so no ill could befall me if I tried. I remembered that our brothers and sisters in the military are human beings like the rest of us, and they would understand my reasons.

I pulled up the driveway into the Leavenworth Prison (1300 Metropolitan...where the rally was to be...six weeks from now) passed the sign saying, "vehicles may be subject to search/you must show ID" and accepted it as a possibility, parked and walked up the hill to the "Visitor processing center".

I opened an old school, screen porch door and looked inside to find a sharply dressed, black prison guard at a desk.

"Hello, I'm Jonathan Getzschman from RevolutionTruth.org. There is a "Free Bradley Manning" rally here on June 4th, and I was wondering if I could interview Mr. Manning before then...like now."

"Who is Bradley Manning?" asked the guard.

...after some explaining, the guard said, "you mean that military kid? He's two miles up the road at Fort Leavenworth Prison."

HAH! The rally was scheduled at the wrong address...no longer my fault.

I asked the guard if he thought there was ANY chance I might have of interviewing Manning.

"You never know," he responded, "good luck sir."

Obviously a sign from God, I proceeded to the military base. On the way in, as I passed more signs that now said, "Vehicles WILL be searched and you MUST have ALL forms of ID necessary," I accepted the now inevitability that my personal belongings would be rooted thru...breathing...breathing...

As I approached the first "check point" there were guards in shiny uniforms swarming the road blocks asking for and receiving papers...that I didn't have. Three of them then approached me...two younger white males and an older one.

"What are you here for?" asked one of the younger guys.

"My name is Jonathan Getzschman of RevolutionTruth.org and I was wondering if there was anyway I could interview Bradley Manning before the rally on June 4th." The two younger guards looked at each other, and their furrowed brows turned into an expression "already-always-knowing" that I was another one of "those people."

"Ok sir...we're going to need you to turn off your vehicle, open all the doors, the hood, the trunk and stand in front of it."

I didn't argue. "I was just throwing it out there...just in case there was a way I could get a chance to talk to him."

"Where did you drive from?" asked the first guard, as I prepared my van for inspection.

"St. Louis."

"You drove all the way from St. Louis to ask us if you could do an interview?" the guard asked eyeing me suspiciously.

"Yeah." Although a complete lie, my ego was still fragile from having my own "already-always-knowing" moment about the date of the rally, so I stuck to it. "I just want to hear his story. I don't mean to mess with your schedule or be a bother."

"Yeah..." the guard said, "why don't you show me your ID and proof of insurance and stand in front of your vehicle."

The other, younger guard searched my vehicle, looking through my bag first, "people who want to find out about a guy who tried to mess up our country makes it our job to find about you."

"Well, I love our country," I said, "and I wanted to hear his side of the story."

As they continued to inspect my van, I heard one of them say, "why does this keep happening?" and the other said, "something must have gone down that we haven't heard about yet," (???) yeah, something like that...but what an interesting exchange.

"What's this group you're with?"

"RevolutionTruth.org...it's a "Free Press" activist organization," I responded, "that seeks to insure that the People's rights aren't violated by intimidation or government censorship." It was at that point that they pulled out my protest sign, "AMNESTY for TRANSPARENCY," made eye contact with each other...and both rolled their eyes.

"Oooooookaaaaaay..."

"Is he clean?" the older guard asked as he approached us.

"Yeah, he's clean. Mr. Gechezmenn? I'm sorry about having to put you thru that sir, but it's protocol. You can't just drive into a military base and ask to speak to high level security risk like that kid."

"Who would I need to ask permission from?"

"The Staff Judge Advocate...you'll have to call him and schedule an appointment."

"Can I write his name down?" I asked. I wasn't sure if I could leave the front of the vehicle yet. He motioned over, and I grabbed my journal.

"Staff...Judge...Advocate...you ever watch 'JAG' on TV?" one of them asked.

"Yes."

"That's the guy you gotta get ahold of. Don't do it this way again."

"Yes sir." I was led to the exit gate by the older guard, and he gave me back my license on the way out. Only about fifteen minutes had passed...I could breathe again...that was the longest breath I ever held.

Whistle Blowers Do The Right Thing

Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years for speaking his mind politically about South Africa. He was a whistle blower. For the first several years, he sat angry and depressed in a 5 foot by 5 foot by 5 foot cage. He became weak and suicidal...until something hit him. They (the government) could take everything physical away from him, but they couldn't take his happiness...unless he allowed them to. He realized, he can be happy ANY TIME HE WANTS TO, regardless of his situation. He made the decision to focus on his happiness within that cell for the next 20 years. Not only did he radiate happiness within him, the prison guards became scared of him. Eventually, they respected him more than their bosses.

You simply decide to be happy...thinking of what makes you happy, writing what makes you happy, feeling what makes you happy, until you are happy. Hold it, nurture it, love it, and grow it. Buddha, Confucius, Jesus and Socrates all kept no kind of Earthly possessions...why?

They realized happiness comes from within.

Mandela took it so far, that even before he was released from prison, his power was so evident, the world EXPECTED him to get out and take control of South Africa. The day it happened, he was released, he was cheered and he waltzed right on into the capital, and declared that he would be the new leader...and HE WAS ACCEPTED.

He also brought the idea of "Amnesty for Transparency" to the country. All war criminals and corrupt politicians were given the chance to admit their crimes and go free. About 50% of them did and testified against themselves and their peers. There was great suffering about it, but the people got to find out what really happened and THEY GOT CLEAN.

That was 1990.

I believe it's happening now, and I recommend "Amnesty for Transparency" for our governments, militaries and big businesses. Bradley Manning, Rudolf Elmer, Adam Winfield, Tim DeChristopher and other whistle blowers are attempting to put this in action, but they are being jailed, because that concept is threatening to people in power who like their gig the way it is and who are directly profiting from it.

Those people in power are in the minority, and they are accountable to US...let's remind them of that whenever possible.

Whistle blowers "DO THE RIGHT THING" when others won't.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!

Check this out guys, if we want to make great change it's worth a try!



The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took

only three months & eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven took one year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.


I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.



Congressional Reform Act of 2011


1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below...

a. Two Six-year Senate terms

b. Six Two-year House terms

c. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms


2. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.


3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.


4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.


5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.


6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.


7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.


8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 10-1-11



The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.


Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.


If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time..




THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, cut-and-paste and pass it on.

I Still Trust President Obama

I trust Obama because he's running the same strategy that got him to where he is today:

1. Work with the status quo (even tho it's not what his constituents want)
2. Hold them accountable (this is always good)
3. Listen to the people when they are loud enough (Egypt was the precedent. He will follow thru with US when our numbers are big enough)
4. Be flexible when a prior stance no longer applies (instead of being stubborn and rigid like most party presidents, trust the people over the politicians)

I see him being himself in regards to typical Democrat policy, and likewise I see what looks like sucking up to the GOP. He became class president at Harvard by doing this, but he brought the liberals and the conservatives together because he understands how to unite as opposed to dividing.

The USA is so used to "party politics" that it seems odd to watch our president treat the right and the left as friends instead of enemies...we're Americans...people forget that in the political rhetoric that gets carelessly thrown around.

I also notice the INTENSE propaganda being tossed EVERYWHERE.
I also remember...DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE.

Obama got here by the people, for the people...that doesn't just disappear...unless you buy the hype.

Feints and counter feints...getting into the pit of snakes is difficult enough...smoking them out takes patience and strength.

What Happened on 9-11?

9-11-------------------------------------------------------->



The US Air Force was playing "war games" the weeks before the attack...battle scenarios, drills, etc...one of those simulations actually being an attack on the World Trade Center. NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) was responsible for the safety of the airways, and normally, anytime a commercial airliner flies off course, two to four F-14 US fighters are scrambled within 20 minutes and "accompany" the jets to see what the emergency is. If it's a terror attack, they have instructions to shoot down the plane, so it can't be used as a "missile". On that day, NORAD claims they didn't send fighters after the four airliners because they thought it was a drill, and the F-14s were somewhere else...so for over TWO HOURS...while those "commercial airliners" were gearing up to attack the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Who called NORAD off? That's the answer to who initiated 9-11



If you want to know who was in on it within the WTC, find the answer to these three questions: 1. Who was supposed to work in the WTC on 9-11 but didn't show up? 2. Who WASN'T supposed to work in the WTC on 9-11, but was ordered to go in anyway? and 3. Who made short-sells on the Stock Exchange the week before 9-11 (meaning: who knew the towers would fall which would make the market crash, and capitalized upon it by short selling their stocks, so when they split and doubled, the stock holders would have twice as many stocks)? These answers are still unknown to the public, because the names are the answers of who was in on it...President Obama could change that.



In military speak, it's called a "False Flag Operation" which means: make it look like the country has been attacked, attach a face to that attack (or a patsy), so the people will have an enemy, then use the people's fear to justify attacking that person and their country. In this case, Osama was ex-CIA who realized what the US government was up to, infiltrating all nations of the world with military and political influence to essentially steer those powers to US interests. Osama went rogue and began telling the Muslim world what the US was doing, and the US does not forgive that kind of truth telling. Our military took out the towers by way of the Rockefeller family and the CIA. Why? The Rockefeller family owns the banks and consequently the Stock Market, and the CIA runs much of the military industrial complex. RESULT: Stock Market crashed and most of the public lost their money, unless you had insider information and short sold your stock the week before, CIA and US Military got to invade Afghanistan and Iraq (???) to insure oil barons get a mainline, and the Patriot Act was born: more security for the US, less privacy to its citizens and the military industrial complex gets a bigger paycheck...until they want MORE.



P.S. It's not all of the Rockefellers and the CIA, just a handful at the top who organized it and set it up...the majority down the chain were just following orders. I think this time, we should find out the reality of who thinks they can rob the United States of money, lives, freedom and truth and put them on trial. If there are any whistle blowers up to the challenge...please step forward now.

If you could get on the mainstream media, what would you say?

If you could get on the mainstream media (all channels at once) what would you use the opportunity to say?




Before we talk current news, we have to get our history straight for the American public:

-John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA, organized by Allen Dulles and paid for by Nelson Rockefeller because JFK was eliminating the CIA and about to begin printing money without the FED.

-9-11 was a false flag operation that killed 2,000 people and was initiated by the Rockefellers and the CIA who used the public fear to manipulate the stock market to their benefit, while securing the nation thru the Patriot Act, enabling the military industrial complex unprecedented money and power.

-People who are blowing the whistle on governments, military and big businesses like Bradley Manning, Rudolf Elmer, Adam Winfield and Julian Assange are in jail because those people in power (that haven't been caught yet) don't like the public finding out how they have abused their power.




WikiLeaks publishes the whistle blowers...pure and simple. When the mainstream media is controlled by money, the money will always win until the will of the people is sparked and inspired toward finding out the truth about what's really going on.

Whistle blowers are people "in the know" who have witnessed corruption or human rights violations and don't want any part of it (let alone being an accomplice to hiding it) so they report it to journalists who will out those violations. Until the mainstream media cannot be bribed, the truth won't be found on regular TV news.

If we want our leaders to be held accountable for their actions, let's have "Amnesty for Transparency." ANYONE who wants to be free of unethical and immoral culture within government, military or business, may come forward and testify about what they witnessed (or enabled) and be freed for their honesty. The power of the People is dependent upon the honor of their leaders. Let's keep them clean.




Come forward and tell us what's wrong, and you will be received as a hero.
