Fortitude -- the missing crucial ingredient

Non-Americans have the advantage of a greater measure of objectivity so it's easier to cast a critical eye and notice that all these media productions are historically informative but extremely tame/lame -- they do not OVERTLY agitate or PROMOTE CHANGE and social REFORM. This is an extraordinary situation in view of Constitutional commissions that ALL Americans are duty-bound to defend the Constitution and protect the Republic from the corrupting forces that currently have it in a strangle-hold.

In view of this remarkable -- but not unanticipated by the founding fathers -- situation we are immediately confronted with the underlying causes of national inaction and the lack of social outrage that would normally lead to social reform. Indeed, the majority of Americans are plagued by a paralyzing malaise which clearly has its roots in the individual 'me' syndrome, alienation, and internalized terror/fear, which the ruling criminal elite intentionally cultivate and promote -- even the alternative American media reeks of the tell-tale odor of timidity and fear. There is no mystery as to why most Americans obey the powers when they are acutely aware the powers are evil and corrupt!

Now, exceptions to every rule is a rule unto itself and outstanding examples of bravery, personal conviction, fearlessness and FORTITUDE in circumstances that would daunt the bravest comic book American heroes exist in society. One such REAL hero is Bradley Manning, who alone has taken on the most powerful forces in America by exposing their corruption and evil murderous practices to the world. Manning has since been subjected to torture and horrendous abuse by the American military he EXPOSED, but he HAS ENDURED this horrendous treatment and maintained his personal INTEGRITY -- character like this is extremely rare in the UNITED STATES today.

The very least the informed and educated alternative American media could do is OVERTLY and PASSIONATELY agitate and promote social reform by at least trying to galvanize the masses to LEGALLY defend their nation from the evil forces that threaten it! Constantly IDENTIFY State criminals and their crimes -- broadcast their names DAILY if necessary -- and DEMAND they be held to account for all their recorded crimes and transgressions.

Bradley Manning shames you all. Real FIGHTERS like Manning are rare indeed and I speak from experience; I have personally endured the most horrid torture at the hands of State 'regulators' -- all the usual threats to my life and the lives of my loved ones were made, I was faced with the ultimate fear but I made the decision to maintain my personal INTEGRITY, even if it cost me my life -- a loaded revolver was pressed hard against the back of my ear by a psychopath in uniform working for the State at the time -- yet I am aware that Manning is by far the stronger character and braver man, as he has endured constant torture over an extended period, years!

As for the rest of you disgusting American COWARDS, take your lead and example from a diminutive, homosexual soldier with the heart of a LION and the FORTITUDE of ALL the great social reformers of history. The secret to a strong character is simply personal conviction, it is knowing that one is pursuing the right and proper course. Killing innocent civilians -- an act the American military specializes in today -- is neither proper, right or moral, innocent children and other human beings are NOT 'bug splat!'

Manning's duty and task were clear as crystal -- how much longer will the complicit American public turn a blind eye to the crimes of their leaders and how much longer will they tolerate their feeble LIES. Displaying a cold and callous heart to incarcerated torture victims like Manning is not only against the tenets of Christianity it is a deplorable and cowardly act?
