Reply #20: Even if he had been convicted of a crime, that is no excuse to take away MY right to donate

[Peace Patriot]

to a cause of my choice, nor to take away his right to raise money from donations. I used the example of a convicted murderer whom I believed to be innocent. Could donations to his legal fund be blocked like this? And even if the convicted murderer was guilty, what about donations to his family or to stop state murders of prisoners? Currently, that kind of financial blockade would not be permitted. Or would it be? Who knows?

As I said, this is just OUTRAGEOUS, that private multinational corporations in collusion with the U.S. government can, by fiat, take away my right to donate to a cause, the right of millions of others to do so, and the right of an Australian, for godssakes--not even an American, who, by virtue of our country, have lost most of our rights--to receive our donations!

The Australian government ought to be throwing a shit fit over this, but, of course, they are warmongers, too, and fully collusive with the war profiteers here. Assange is a "man without a country," in many respects, and is being bullied, harassed and threatened by the most powerful entities on earth.

It is infuriating and depressing to see that our government has no shame--but then I realized that when Obama allowed Troy Davis to be executed in Georgia--A DEMONSTRABLY INNOCENT MAN! Obama damn well could have stopped it. His behavior was as bad as Pontius Pilot! As for the powers-that-be in Georgia, they ought to get life in prison for murder! (I don't believe in state murder of anybody).

U.S. "drones" flying around the world executing people--anybody, anywhere the CIA damn pleases! U.S. proxies in Libya shooting the captured Gadaffi in the head and letting his body rot in view of the world! Saddam Hussein hanging from a rope! Osama bin Laden's body dropped in the ocean!

These are the symbols of the U.S.A. now, and nobody cares and nobody apologizes and nobody hangs their head in shame!
