Collected by Kevin Stoda, living outside USA & Watching USA fail to do what is right

Here are 5 Short news stories from this week, America.


On Wednesday, I wrote to the USA Secretary of State and asked the USA Government to cease and desist from distracting the public from war crimes and torture issues related to Wikileaks and the persecution of honest whistle-blowers in the USA federal government.

I am also calling specifically for Bradley Manning, who is a WHISTLE-BLOWER and AMERICAN PATRIOT is being punished for revealing such crimes, acts of kidnapping, torture, false arrests.
Instead I ask that all the torture and war-crimes be investigated. The world is watching.

Report: British Police Await Arrest Warrant for Assange
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is facing an international warrant for his arrest. Earlier today, Sweden’s highest court refused permission for Assange to appeal an arrest order issued over charges of alleged rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. Assange has denied the allegations and said he is the target of a smear campaign. Assange could now be arrested on the sexual assault charges in any of the 188 countries that are part of Interpol. The Independent of London is reporting British police believe he is inside Britain and are awaiting orders to place him under arrest.

Amazon Drops WikiLeaks Website
WikiLeaks’ website meanwhile was temporarily shut down on Wednesday after the online giant Amazon dropped it from its servers. Independent Senator Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said Amazon had acceded to his demand to stop hosting WikiLeaks. In a post to its Twitter account, WikiLeaks said, "If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the first amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books." In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesperson P.J. Crowley criticized Assange for calling on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to resign over her orders for U.S. diplomats to spy on foreign officials.
P.J. Crowley: "Mr. Assange can say what he wants from wherever he is, speaking from an undisclosed location through Skype, as I believe it. There’s a metaphor there, in that he is calling for the secretary to step down at a time where he is trying to evade an active warrant by Interpol. The Secretary of State, by contrast, is in Kazakhstan engaged directly with global leaders working to solve the world’s challenges. And there’s a sharp contrast in the current activity of the two individuals."
Interpol Issues Arrest Warrant for WikiLeaks Founder
As new revelations emerge, the international law enforcement organization Interpol has issued a global arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. A Swedish court issued an arrest warrant for Assange on charges of rape and sexual molestation last month after the prosecutor initially dropped the case. Assange has denied the allegations and said he is the target of a smear campaign. He is also under investigation in the United States and could face charges under the Espionage Act. Assange’s current whereabouts are unknown.
Huckabee Calls for Execution of Alleged Leaker
The soldier accused of leaking the classified documents to WikiLeaks is facing intensified public vilification. Speaking at a book signing, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said that Private First Class Bradley Manning should be executed. Bradley was arrested in May.
Mike Huckabee: "Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason. And I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty."

In fact, if Hillary Clinton fails to stop persecuting good Americans and non-Americans, perhaps she should consider resigning as the following snippet of news from Wednesday:

AMY GOODMAN: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange did speak to Time Magazine from an undisclosed location on Tuesday. Julian Assange said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should resign. Listen carefully.
JULIAN ASSANGE: She should resign, if it can be shown that she was responsible for ordering U.S. diplomatic figures to engage in espionage activity at the United Nations in violation of the international covenants to which the U.S. has signed up. Yes, she should resign over that.
