With less than three days left until he leaves office, Barack Obama has commuted Bradley/Chelsea Manning’s sentence. Manning was to be released in 2045 but will now be released in May of this year.
This surprise move is not the morally courageous move that it may appear to be. Obama, content to leave office sans dignity is clearly making a challenge to Julian Assange who recently challenged Obama to pardon Manning in return for Assange voluntarily traveling to the US to face what some would call justice, but anyone would a brain would call a show trial.
January 18, 2017 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - Headlines are announcing the early release of US Army whistle-blower Private Manning from a jail sentence that began in 2013 and was to last 35 years. Manning is accused of passing US government documents to information clearing house Wikileaks before being arrested and charged for "espionage" in 2010.Manning's release indicates an admission by the US of unjust imprisonment.
OinkAs you know by now, we started an Act Blue page to thank congressional resisters to Trumpism-- the courageous men and women who are refusing to attend his inauguration. Please visit to see the updated list. When we started there were only 6... now there are over 3 dozen!
Instead of over 30 years in prison, Manning will be released in May of this year.
Although the Founders expected the legislative branch of government to be first among equals, especially in the past 20 years the executive branch has consolidated power at the expense of Congress and the Courts. But the two losing branches have been more than complicit in the process. What does this bode for our future? We turned to noted Constitutional scholar, Louis Fisher, who has written more than 500 articles and 24 books on this important issue.

Michael Morell first came to my attention in a meaningful way last summer when he wrote an editorial in The New York Times calling Donald Trump “an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.” The article was widely seen as an audition for CIA director under the seemingly inevitable Clinton administration. I covered the episode in the post, New York Times Fails to Disclose Op-Ed Writer’s Ties to Hillary Clinton’s ‘Principa
RT | January 17, 2017 A growing number of opposition groups in Syria are getting increased weapons and ammunition supplies from the US Air Force to tackle Islamic State, according to US media reports citing the country’s military. The weapons are intended for opposition forces closing in on IS’s self-proclaimed capital Raqqa in Syria, USA […]

Copyright Monopoly: When the copyright monopoly was reinstated in 1710, the justification was that of publishing being many orders of magnitude more expensive than authoring, and so without it, nothing would get published. But the Internet has reversed this assumption completely: publishing is now many orders of magnitude cheaper than writing the piece you want to publish.

On January 13, 2017, German journalist Udo Ulfkotte died of a heart attack. Long-time readers of Liberty Blitzkrieg will remember his name since he went public with explosive claims about how the CIA manipulates and controls much of Western media.

By Robert Bridge | RT | January 17, 2017 Since becoming the US Commander-in-Chief in 2008, Barack Obama charted a thinly veiled anti-Russia course that many failed to anticipate or appreciate due to the media-generated hype of “hope and change” that accompanied his rise to power. Few modern leaders have entered the world stage with […]

I am constantly bringing forward articles about the massive corruption behind the Lougheed Martin F35 "Lightning II" so called 'fighter' aircraft that has been an unimitigated DISASTER from the day the US military decided to go with the program..... It is such a titanic waste of money and the end result will be a "fighter" aircraft that will leave the US much much weaker than its adversaries.....Lets not pull any punches here... The US government has already spent upwards of 400 BILLION dollars on this F35 program and the net result has been nothing short of a cataclysmic failure...
Nothing like a little Vladimir Putin to inject some hard truth and honesty to the ridiculousness of American main stream media reporting.
Putin has so far remained silent on all the “Russian hacker” hysteria overtaking the American Congress and establishment media, not to mention US “intelligence” services, who are actively spreading “fake news” and fairytale documents dossiers in what amount to a “soft coup” to delegitimize Trump.

Låt detta bli din inspiration.

How many times have you heard your friends say something like, "Maybe he won't turn out that bad; after all he was a liberal Democrat his whole life. He's on record supporting Choice, supporting single payer, protecting Social Security and Medicare?" Forget it. Just forget it. He didn't let Pence talk him into appointing Georgia anti-Medicare fanatic Tom Price Secretary of Health and Human Services to do anything but destroy the health care social safety net. Trump doesn't believe in anything but winning-- at all costs...

What was supposed to be an historical moment of reconciliation between Serbs in Belgrade and those trapped in Mitrovica, in the disputed territory of Kosovo, has been disrupted by a show of force from Kosovar Albanians.
A train from Belgrade bound for Mitrovica was stopped by ethnic Albanians currently in charge of Kosovo, a legal part of Serbia which unilaterally declared independence in 2008. Kosovo currently has limited recognition as a state.
The proximate cause of the disruption was a slogan written on the side of the train reading ‘Kosovo is Serbia’.
When NATO was bombing civilian targets in Serbia in 1999, it was still possible to have a calm debate about this devastating issue in the West. The same held true when Bush and Blair invaded Iraq in 2003, causing the death (according to an article in The Lancet) of over a million people.
But such rational debates where friends remain friends and acquaintances leave on good terms. are becoming increasingly impossible.

To conclude this series of posts anticipating the imminent change of residents at the White House, it is worth paying mind to the issue of foreign policy.

Erdogan has been supporting ISIS-Al Qaeda in its quest to overthrow Assad in Syria for over six years.
When ISIS supporters attack Turkish citizens, Erdogan makes sure they pay a heavy price.
This duplicitous political game is coming to a swift end.
After a two-week manhunt, Turkish police have finally captured the man behind the Istanbul nightclub attack that killed 39 people on New Year’s Day.
Abdulgadir Masharipov and four other suspects were caught at a hideout in an outlying suburb of the city.
The creation of the Federal Reserve Bank was a coup. The coup plotters were the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers and the Warburgs. Their agents had their first meeting to draft the legislation that became the Federal Reserve Act in a private rail car across the river from Manhattan on November 22, 1910. That rail car took those men to Georgia to their secret meeting on Jekyll Island. It is no accident that their second coup was on November 22, 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated. JFK was killed on the 53rd anniversary of their first coup.
