The Passion of Chelsea Manning. Chase Madar

      (12:59:41 PM) bradass87: uhm… crazy, almost criminal political backdealings… the non-PR-versions of world events and crises… uhm… all kinds of stuff like everything from the buildup to the Iraq War during Powell, to what the actual content of “aid packages” is: for instance, PR that the US is sending aid to pakistan includes funding for water/food/clothing… that much is true, it includes that, but the other 85% of it is for F-16 fighters and munitions to aid in the Afghanistan effort, so the US can call in Pakistanis to do aerial bombing instead of americans potentially killing civilians and creating a PR crisis

      (1:00:57 PM) bradass87: theres so much… it affects everybody on earth… everywhere there’s a US post… there’s a diplomatic scandal that will be revealed… Iceland, the Vatican, Spain, Brazil, Madagascar, if its a country, and its recognized by the US as a country, its got dirt on it

       […]

      (03:16:24 PM) bradass87: i… care?

      (03:17:27 PM) bradass87: http://www.kxol.com.au/images/pale_blue_dot.jpg <– sums it up for me

      (03:18:17 PM) bradass87: i probably shouldn’t have read sagan, feynman, and so many intellectual authors last summer…

      (03:24:10 PM) bradass87: we’re human… and we’re killing ourselves… and no-one seems to see that… and it bothers me

      (03:24:26 PM) bradass87: apathy

      (03:25:28 PM) bradass87: apathy is far worse than the active participation

      (03:26:23 PM) bradass87: >hug<

      (03:29:31 PM) bradass87: http://vimeo.com/5081720 Elie Wiesel summed it up pretty well for me… though his story is much much more important that mine

      (03:31:33 PM) bradass87: I prefer a painful truth over any blissful fantasy.

      (02:23:06 AM) bradass87: if not… than we’re doomed

      (02:23:18 AM) bradass87: as a species

      (02:24:13 AM) bradass87: i will officially give up on the society we have if nothing happens

      (02:24:58 AM) bradass87: the reaction to the video gave me immense hope… CNN’s iReport was overwhelmed… Twitter exploded…

      (02:25:18 AM) bradass87: people who saw, knew there was something wrong

       […]

      (02:28:10 AM) bradass87: i want people to see the truth… regardless of who they are… because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public

      (02:23:25 PM) bradass87: i could’ve sold to russia or china, and made bank?

      (02:24:46 PM) bradass87: it belongs in the public domain

      (02:25:15 PM) bradass87: information should be free

      (02:25:39 PM) bradass87: it belongs in the public domain

      (02:26:18 PM) bradass87: because another state would just take advantage of the information… try and get some edge

      (02:26:55 PM) bradass87: if its out in the open… it should be a public good
