Weapon Usage/Torture

last modified 2008-09-10 14:44

"In today's world, the system of international law that was so painstakingly and carefully created for the Nuremberg Trials, is now in ruins." One of the things that came out of the 1979 Iranian revolution was the discovery of a CIA produced tape giving instruction on how to torture women. Yet the popular perception was (and is) of the threat of unprovoked Iranian violence. People were wearing 'Nuke Iran' T-shirts in the streets after the hostages were taken.

****As with Bush's military record, the powers that be erased CIA documents regarding their use of torture ("Bush personally watched them and ordered them destroyed but won't admit it while his staff works feverishly to destroy any evidence and blackmail any witnesses into silence")

******A Navy soldier was tortured, not by any dirty arabs, but by his fellow americans. Falsely accused and the torturers didn't even bother to check his story before torturing him. Now Donald Vance knows what it's like to be falsely accused by the U.S. military of aiding terrorists. If we do that to our own, just think of what disgusting things we do to foreigners. AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

*****The General Secretary of the Union of Political Prisoners and Detainees in Iraq, Muhammad Adham al-Hamd declared that the US occupation administration in Iraq relies on systematic rape, torture, and sadistic treatment of Iraqi women prisoners in its prison camps in the country.

******Even Olbermann and the New York Times reported this story: Bush's I.C.E. Unit Kills Again, man was indefinitely jailed and murder in our country with our tax dollars again!

**More Gitmo whistleblowers and the pressure they are getting from the US government

****Bush and Co. still trying to sneak through Congress a provision that would ensure they do not get charged for war crimes or found guilty of torture

******A quick rundown on the ultra powerful MIC. Remember what Eisenhower said.

****How the US uses the White Elephant technique (similar to the Trojan Horse) and how we sold weapons to the supposed "9/11 terrorists" nation of Saudi Arabia which Israel said we could only do after giving them more free money. ("So...the US is selling advanced weaponry to the country that [our government said] gave us most of the 911 hijackers, and those mainly responsible for sewing chaos in Iraq? Does this make sense to anyone?")

***Proof of America's chemical weapons usage, their damage, lies, independent scientist's tesimony, military testimony, Operation Whitecoat also a quick search on google will give you much more information.

***"The Torture Issue Isn't Very Complicated": Tips for the new Attorney General Michael Mukasey

***The Ray Gun...ready to use on a protester near you

****Old congress clip admitting to weather manipulation, just imagine what they can do now!

*Prisoners still going to Gitmo, us americans who are paying for it do nothing, outsourcing torture...still, secret CIA prisons...still--what a shameful country we have let our leaders turn us into

*******As more and more and more and more and more reports of secret prisons come in, "detaining" adults AND very young children!! (and the torture inside) Bush and Co. try to make their widespread torturing even more widespread. This nicely and succinctly details how our torturing is quite similar to the KGB era Russians.

***After half a dozen years of waterboarding, genital zapping, sleep deprivation and brainwashing, the Pentagon has finally found six patsies who will readily welcome their 72 virgins and take the fall for 9/11

****US increases military "aid" to Israel and also gives a bunch of weapons to Saudi Arabia---which Israel says is okay (A foreign country giving us "permission" is ridiculous enough, but why is Israel okay with Saudi Arabia having more weapons?)

UN urges US to shut down Gitmo

*****San Jose police are to begin using high tech sound wave weapons that are designed to disperse crowds by firing concentrated beams of sound at 150 decibels, causing intense pain and possible deafness AND OTHER SICK WEAPONS

****More eye-witness accounts of the secret vaporizing weapons US is using in Iraq

******Declassified US Military Top Secrets Revealed Part 1 of 5 (including LOST nuclear weapons inside the US!!)

**UFOs and the FOIAs the government is illegally ignorning (My thought: they are testing new technology they don't want us to know about...possibly using high levels of radiation as power. Enough to slowly poison our air and water for the purpose of better flying weapons.)

****Bush admits to knowing what techniques the CIA would use on suspects

***Since 9/11, BioWeapon labs have increased in size leading to more accidents, many that go unreported says Ed Hammond of the Sunshine Project. (BioWeapons Lab and many accidents should never be found in the same column together)

*US using experimental laser weapons on the Iraqis (I think we can say that this is a fact after hearing the Rumsfeld interview in the middle)

*******While Britian is getting in on torturing Iraqi civilian detainees we continue to see how bad Abu Ghraib really was as more evidence and testimony comes forth from Seymour Hersh, General Taguba (who was forced to retire after he told the truth) and General Janis Karpinski (who was in charge of Ghraib for awhile) And even though a US Appeals Court ruled that detention centers like this and Gitmo are illegal, they continue to be run and people continue to be tortured And here is an essay on what Habeas Corpus means and why it is so important

**We are wasting money on more Nukes when we have plenty already (do you realize how many countries feel that America is dangerous and should not be allowed to have --let alone make-- more nukes? Should they be allowed to invade us? With our tax dollars, and our silence, americans have collectively become a nation of hypocrites. Feel proud.)

**NASA is sending rocket into space and won't tell what is on board. Considering NASA is owned by the Pentagon and works with Lockheed, it is probably a weapon of some sort. Or maybe it has something to do with the ocean surveillance spacecraft in the wrong orbit? What I know for sure is that our tax dollars are paying for this and we have a right to know.

*****Marine says he erased photos of Haditha victims where US soldiers murdered unarmed women and children. The testimony is the first evidence suggesting that any officer may have engaged in a coverup in the 2005 deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians.

********Horrible: British using an awful disgusting weapon against the Taliban made by LOCKHEAD MARTIN. If the "bad guys" were using this weapon, you would hear about how sick they are in the media everyday. Such hypocricy. "sucks the air out of victims, shreds their internal organs and crushes their bodies." and that's if you're lucky and die right away

******Army admits it dumped 64 million pounds of chemical weapons at sea

***Officials confirm use of a new form of Napalm: MK77 SOURCE --- SECOND SOURCE

*Amnesty International has harsh words for the US (how great is it to be mentioned in the same likeness as North Korea and China!)

And LOOK! ISREAL made the naughty list too, what a surprise.

CIA sending people to other countries to be tortured...did Europe know?

**Short video comparing American's treatment of Detainees with Iran's America has lost its moral high ground

**More on the CIA overseas torture prisons and their physical and psychological techniques used on prisoners

***On May 5 '07, Anthony Mitchell died in the crash of Kenyan Airways Flight 507, which killed all 114 people on board. Based in Nairobi, he was an Associated Press reporter who had recently broken a story on secret prisons in Ethiopia and the U.S. involvement in the detention and interrogation of prisoners there. Did the CIA have him killed?

***A few more sickening torture stories with soldiers and cops at the helm, and a little psychology to go along with it

**Pro-War Christopher Hitchens undergoes waterboarding and says "Believe me, it's torture"

*******Confessions of a torturer (who is now miserable) Officer describes the torture he witnessed, the outright lies by government officials, policy changes to torture BEFORE the detainees arrived (until things quited down), declarations stating most of the detainees were innocent, and much more examples and stories of torture from this soldier.

**H.A.A.R.P. as it is known in its acronym form is a project in Alaska that is a field of giant antenna array powered by huge gas reserves which power generators capable of several gig-watts of power. This is S.D.I.

****Operation Merlin: The CIA (through Russia) gave Iran blueprints for a nuke; a nuke with a purposeful design flaw. The Russian handoff noticed this and told Iran about the flaw and now Iran can use the good parts of the blueprints and ignore the flaw. So WE gave Iran blueprints for a nuke.

***A current detainee speaks of the torture and humiliation he has experienced at Guantanamo since 2002

Boeing makes more bombs...and gets in trouble by the GOA in the process (It would really be terrific if this country could actually produce something other than weaponry that the world wanted to buy.)

***Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, held in U.S. custody without charges for more than four years, testified to being tortured. His heavily redacted statment reads as follows: "What else do I want to say? [REDACTED]. Many things happened. There were doing so many things. What else did they did? [REDACTED]. They do so many things. So so many things. What else did they did? [REDACTED]. After that another method of torture began. [REDACTED]. They used to ask me questions and the investigator after that used to laugh. And, I used to answer the answer that I knew. And, if I didn't reply what I heard, he used to [REDACTED]. So many things happened. I don't in summary, that's basically what happened." An Orwellian statement release. Do the innocent need to redact statments? "The censorship makes sense only if some or all of what Nashiri alleges is true."

****The Bush administration is preparing to ask Congress to approve arms sales totaling $20 billion over the next decade for Saudi Arabia and its neighbors (weapons are our biggest export--doesn't matter that we sell to "both sides" and criminals and cause millions of innocents to be killed...)

**One of the weapons the Pentagon tried to make was a "Gay Bomb", hilarious but unfortunately true Here is a News video on the matter with a quote from a Pentagon official "We are not working on a gay bomb right now." RIGHT NOW!! WTF?

****June '07: US Air Strikes in Iraq double from last year, most since "Shock and Awe". Civilian causalties increase dramatically. We are the terrorist folks. ("Air Force Col. Gary Crowder, deputy director of the regional air operations center, said such casualties "pale in comparison" with civilian casualties from ground combat." So..it's okay because you're not killing as many people as the ground troops?)

***CIA tortures Iranian diplomat...oh the hypocricy! and the humanity

Now the Iranian diplomat has been tortured!! Video. Can't you people see who the bad guy is here!!! (well, most governments in the world are having an overall negative effect--but some more than others such as the good ole' USA) Of course, the CIA simply lies about it.

*Bush's High Crimes of Torture and War; lawyer details his client's suffering

*****Another man kidnapped and tortured for 9 months; when they finally realized he was innocent, they dropped him on a hilltop in Albania. The US admits this, but refuses to be taken to court over this saying it would reveal state secrets ("I don't understand why the strongest nation on Earth believes that acknowledging a mistake will threaten its security. Isn't it more likely that showing the world that America cannot give justice to an innocent victim of its anti-terror policies will cause harm to America's image and security around the world?")

***The first independent report concerning the CIA prisons (International Red Cross) finds that detainees were tortured

*Explosive devices and arsenals used in a terrorist attack in the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan on Wednesday came from the United States (oh! Now according to the Bush Admin. philosophy, Iran has a right to invade us, murder our families, shut off our electricity and water, rape us, confiscate anything they need....etc.)

*David Hicks says he only confessed because he was in fear for his life.

***Israeli officer sells weapons to terrorists in Iraq

****Detainee says he confessed to stop torture: The terrorism suspect contends he was forced to admit to a role in the USS Cole bombing. A military law expert isn't surprised.

***One Senator (Leahy) stands up and confronts Bush Co. about purposely sending innocent men to Syria to get tortured

***An investigation has been opened into a former guard from Abu Ghraib (possibly! not confirmed, could be hoax) talking about torture techniques employed at the American-run prison. The man also recounts the gang rape of a female teenage detainee, in which one guard "pimped" the girl to others for $50 each (if this is true, this soldier is the true terrorist)

*****Depleted Uranium testing in america, the radiation and damage it can cause to ALL OF US and we may not even know it until it is too late

*Inside look at the double-speak and secrets at Gitmo

**Anti-matter research is making progress--of course it will go to weapons first...not something useful :(
