41. Now now ... the person I referenced said we were going to CELEBRATE

Jul 2013

Whistle blower day by CRUCIFYING (present tense) Bradly Manning.

It was not a reference to what had happened previously, but a prediction of what was about to happen. He was going to be crucified.

Instead, Manning was acquitted (and rightfully so) of the most serious charge against him.

The point of all this of course was that for months we've been told that he'd never get a fair trial and that in the end, the evil government would find him guilty of aiding the enemy. The fix was in.

And throughout, as has become common place on so many topics, the level of hyperbole has been cranked up past 11.

He was going to be crucified. Today.

It didn't happen.
