Mike Hosking: Chelsea Manning is a crook, keep her out of NZ – NZ Herald

KW: I tried to leave a comment on the NZ Herald page of this story but seemingly am unable to get it to work so here goes. Hosking is one of the more ignorant news reporters full of his own importance and grasp of the issues. Here his accusations that Chelsea Manning is a crook and should be kept out of New Zealand is simply proof that he is a stooge for the deep state that works tirelessly to missinform, lie and distort the news; he is their agent, their man in the newsroom, promoting the lies they want us to beleive. Without Manning bravely disclosing to the world the ongoing and continuing crimes being committed in Iraq by the U.S. Military bringing ‘democracy and freedom’ to the Iraqi people we would not have known that this was going on. He goes as far as to name Manning and Julian Assange as ‘conspirators’. He is wrong when crimes against the person, including torture and rape,  injustice and criminal actions against societies that are being destroyed on fake charges of ‘weapons of mass destruction’ are being actioned by our governments, and because they risked their lives and have sufferred for their actions to inform us of these crimes this makes them both heroes. Hosking, a shrill for the establishment, represents and promotes as being ‘conspired’ against the governments and deep state power that would have us all ignorant of truth and demonstrates just what a sold out hypocritical prisoner of the lies and misinformation our governments tell us, he is. His opinion is worthless tripe. Truth and good discovery journalism are completely foreign to the likes of Hosking. Manning and Julian Assange are heroes for letting us know, taking the risk and informing us that our governments wars should and must stop now. His comment that this is not about ‘free speech’ is simply a ruse to put thinking minds off the scent. Clearly if Hosking had witnessed the inhumane treatment and torture of Iraqi prisoners he would have just kept quiet honouring his governments commands, whereas Manning blew the whistle on these crimes – Hosking, a coward indeed.

COMMENT: It’s not about free speech, it’s about making money from espionage.
