While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump pardons former U.s. Army First Lieutenant Michael Behenna, who served only five years of a 25-year sentence for murdering a captive enemy combatant.

       NOTE: Trump was sending the message that it is acceptable for the U.s. Armed Forces to commit war crimes.  Meanwhile, Julian P. Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, was incarnated in a British prison, awaiting extradition to the U.s. for reporting on those crimes.

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Kellen Dwyer, U.s. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Espionage Court”) and Megan Brown, Special Agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, meet with Sigurdur I. Thordarson, a WikiLeaks volunteer, in Reykjavik, Iceland and offer him immunity from charges for child molestation, in exchange for perjured testimony against Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.
