Just grep for 'manning'

The key edit is principle 2, which explicitly prevents Amnesty from advocating on Manning's behalf. No urgent actions, no POC status.

"Amnesty International’s position is that Chelsea Manning’s disclosure did not meet the criteria for protection (principle 2)"

It's a clean break from their existing policy (tshwane principles), which demand they support her (while she was re-imprisoned), as far as I can tell. The edited policy would limit Amnesty to simply argue that Manning should be afforded the "for the common good"-defense in a trial. Real weak stuff, and a big step down from what amnesty claims to stand for.

It's also disturbing how they decided to rewrite the rules while Manning was sitting in a cell.

yes, there's more to this.

The hoopla makes sense when you look at how the West has tried to regime change Iran over the last 40 years. And Iran plays right into it, with their silly clerics playing the 'fanatics' role that our media loves them to play.

I agree 100%, reddit is heavily manipulated - but a minor stake in a $2+ billion company doesn't change who's running the show. Reddit is still a US company, operating on US soil, and its management and top-admins and hw and servers are all at the physical mercy of only one government - and it's not the Chinese.

Then just hrs after the investment was announced some admins "admit" they censor content to please their new Chinese overlords - I just can't bring myself to believe it. Seems crazy that the old media-manipulation machinery would roll over that easily.

However, if I was a professional perception-controller (with n ntrepid licenses) and I wanted to spook a western audience about the great new menace of China - I would do just that... make fake claims about "them taking over" to trigger a standard "were not gonna let them!" reaction.

That's just my random thoughts. There are so many layers of deception on reddit that I take nothing there at face value.

bablarb · 2019-02-11T10:51:42+00:00

For those who don't know - there's a global push to purge Chinese components from 5G networks, and beyond.

You know it's a major development when all of mainstream keeps silent about it.

Btw. the J Mifsud story is a good lesson in "connection-baiting", a useful tool for derailing political/social movements:

1) identify junior & ambitious member of staff

2) approach target and present tantalizing offer to make secret connection to power-elite for mutual gain. Stage meeting with fake rep. Target enjoys higher relevancy (and gets to play 007) for a little while.

3) take down target for either: colluding with power-elite - OR denying said collusion
