Assange And Free Speech Defended At D.C. Rally
By Bob Small
Speaking about the oath he took when he joined the Marines, Scott Ritter said “Not that I will defend the President no matter what, but that I will defend the Constitution.”
Ritter was one of the many speakers, Sunday, Oct. 8 in D.C. front of the Department of Justice.
Whether this is now the Department of Injustice is a topic for another discussion.
We, the audience and the speakers, and the still independent media were here to show support for Julian Assange — the rally was named Hands Off Assange after all– and to defend what we have left of a free press.
Three of us had driven from Swarthmore, Pa to Washington, DC and attended our first DC rally in however many years.
We had attending many rallies getting both arrested and even injured for various causes.
At a certain point, I found myself repeating Admiral James Stockdale’s line,“Who am I and what am I doing here”.
When I could no longer find grace in going to these events, it seemed like there was no real reason to go.
So why return? There are many reasons including defending the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
The very blog you’re reading is covered by this, as are all blogs in the USA no matter how much with them you may disagree.
Britain is only now about enshrine free speech in a Bill of Rights.
Boris Johnson first proposed it and became a good argument for it.
If we are not activists for the rights in our Bill of Rights, they revert to only being words.
As to the rally itself, most of the hundred or so people remained till the end encouraged, no doubt, by the free ice cream provided by one of the speakers, Ben Cohen who is the Ben in Ben and Jerrys.

Here’s to those who are seeing how long they can freeze before turning on the heat for the first time.
Doug Mastriano And Abortion — We have heard from two conservative, pro life women who believe the ads painting Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano as a fanatic who thinks there should be no exceptions to abortion.
If Mastriano released an ad featuring himself giving a sincere explanation of his position in a way he has done in various interviews such as this one with Sean Hannity (11:10 mark) if might very well win him the election.
He can point out his sincere belief that life starts at conception, which is what science shows; explain that as governor he can neither write laws nor address the matter with an executive order; and that as senator he sponsored a “heartbeat bill”, SB 378 , that allowed for morning-after pills and other early interventions for rape victims prior to a detectable heartbeat, and abortions for ectopic and other life-threatening pregnancies in which there is no fetal heartbeat.
We suspect more exceptions would be included in any post-Dodd law, and Mastriano has indicated he would sign abortion bills based on fetal pain, which is believed to occur at 15 weeks of pregnancy or about nine weeks after the detection of a heartbeat.
His Democrat opponent Josh Shapiro supports abortion up to delivery without restriction.
Shapiro is the fanatic in the race and that might explain why that he, an attorney, is afraid to debate Mastriano, a retired Army colonel.
Cancelling PayPal — After more than a decade we have cancelled PayPal due to their bizarre announcement of a policy that would let it fine users $2,500 for spreading what they deemed to be “misinformation.”
When it became a topic of internet discussion the powers-that-be there shrieked “It’s a mistake” and rescinded it.
We found the service to be occasionally useful and tolerated its wokeness but this was the last straw. When a financial institution loses one’s trust it never gets it back.
Was it a mistake? Maybe in getting caught.
Goodbye PayPal and here’s a farewell tune for you.

Dem Candidate Was Ripped By Mother Jones — Carmela Ciliberti’s latest podcast concerns David Cunningham, the Democratic seeking to unseat incumbent John Lawrence in Pennsylvania House District 13.
The 13th District consists of the townships of East Nottingham, Elk, Franklin, Highland, London Britain, London Grove, Londonderry, Lower Oxford, New London, Penn, Upper Oxford, West Fallowfield and West Nottingham and the boroughs of Oxford and West Grove, all in Chester County.
Carmela ran against Lawrence in the Republican primary and heaped upon him loads of criticism. We suspect, though, after hearing her Oct. 5 show that it’s a pretty safe bet that she’s voting for him on Nov. 8.
She reveals that Cunningham’s employer for the last 31 years was Landmark Education. This is the successor to Erhard Seminars Training or est founded by Werner Erhard and was an influential faddish cult in the 1970s.
Cunningham is also the subject of a not-so-flattering story by Laura McClure published Aug. 17, 2009 in Mother Jones.
And Carmela expresses particular ire at Cunningham’s Landmark sessions for children.
Erhard and est — yeah, no caps — played a significant role in the feelings over facts cultural shift which is causing so much misery today.
Where do the Democrats find such candidates anyway?
