Take a look at (CLICK) this article regarding torture of prisoners in the custody of MY GOVERNMENT! From the article:
"Who the hell authorizes these things?" Soufan reportedly asked the chief CIA officer in Thailand, as Mitchell began stripping the prisoner and blasting him with music from the Red Hot Chili Peppers."
So here I sit, with only news articles to tell me what my government is up to (that would be torture.) Thankfully there are some brave souls willing to become "whistleblowers" because their conscience prevents restful sleep knowing torture is going on at the hands of the government of the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Whistleblower = Hero. Talk about standing alone for principle while the rest of the herd watches you hang. The whistleblowers are the ones that oughta' be put in charge. They are the only true leaders - it isn't their fault if their comrades don't have the guts or the sense to follow them in doing what is right. I suppose torture isn't a form of terrorism, because if it were, we'd have to accuse members of our own government of terrorism.
----hmm, contradictions - who will sort this out?
----OK - this makes more sense - the watchdogs are asleep as usual - this, at least, sounds credible. UNAWARE!
Anyway getting back to the original topic before I got sidetracked - jobs are tough to find these days so put the word out if you have any friends who are talented torturers. Another job opening is for psychiatric and medical specialists who can keep the accused, I mean terrorist alive, so we can keep torturing them and deny them the gift of death. Any torturers out there? - AMERICA NEEDS YOU!
Innocent until proven guilty is the law of the land in America? You Decide-------
Wait - we have a new president - Obama - he'll stop the torture right? Well yeah, kind of... but not right now. Consider (CLICK) this article for the reality. From the article:
"The most direct consequence of releasing them, I believe, would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and to put our troops in greater danger," the president said before departing on his trip to Arizona. "Moreover, I fear the publication of these photos may only have a chilling effect on future investigations of detainee abuse."
Ah yes - the old "National Security" routine! Somehow this tired pathetic sorry-ass excuse is dredged up again from the sewer of doublespeak by the champion of "Change We Can Believe In." So lets see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil - essentially live in denial that we Americans are joining the ranks of nations that torture. So I ask those of you who voted for Obama - how do you deal with Obama's inaction on torture? What do you tell yourself to rationalize this failure to fulfill campaign promises? Oh that's right - all he promised you was "hope"- it's gonna' be tough collecting on that contract. But stopping torturers? Facing down the military-industrial complex? That would require big cajones. Does he have them? Maybe - but what I see missing is a genuine desire to change the culture condoning torture. Instead I see a skillful politician "looking busy" for the corporate media - but in reality doing nothing. As to why - I'll leave that up to the reader.
Thankfully - the "problem" (torture) is only with CIA - not the military - right? At least we Americans can rely on our military to stick with their oaths. At least we can count on our military professionals to take care of our boys and girls fighting terror in the hot sandy Middle East - right? Well... NO ... what about (CLICK) this story? From the story:
"US soldiers are now being forced to steal water in Iraq. With supplies tight, and the number of trucks carrying potable water even tighter, troops have resorted to stealing water from civilian contractors. Many have also reportedly suffered from dysentery because they were forced to drink untreated water from Iraqi wells. ... It gets worse. Soldiers say the situation has become so dire they were forced to raid the United States’ own airbase in Baghdad for bottled water. They found the water stored in pallets held by civilian contractors, who were supposed to be distributing it."
Perhaps I'm just a bleeding heart. I mean - how important can water be in the middle of that sandbox? Can't the troops build solar stills and distill their own urine to make water? Yes - this must be some deliberate effort by our military leaders to "toughen-up" the troops and test their desert survival skills. Bullsh*t!! I'm trying really hard to understand why somebody isn't losing their job and suffering severely for not providing water to soldiers. Perhaps only enlisted are suffering - maybe that would explain it.
But - at least the military gets it right on the important stuff - like Pat Tillman. Oh, that's right - if one considers (CLICK) this story there is more reason for concern regarding what we are being told vs. what is actually going on. From the article:
"The parents of slain Army Ranger and NFL star Pat Tillman voiced concerns Tuesday that the general who played a role in mischaracterizing his death could be put in charge of military operations in Afghanistan."
"The most direct consequence of releasing them, I believe, would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and to put our troops in greater danger," the president said before departing on his trip to Arizona. "Moreover, I fear the publication of these photos may only have a chilling effect on future investigations of detainee abuse."

----but rest assured my fellow Americans - we later hear from a government spokesperson:
"We feel terrible for what the Tillman family went through, but this matter has been investigated thoroughly by the Pentagon, by the Congress, by outside experts, and all of them have come to the same conclusion: that there was no wrongdoing by Gen. McChrystal," Morrell said."
----hmm, contradictions - who will sort this out?
"Aides to the top Democrat and Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which will consider the nomination, said they were unaware of any opposition to McChrystal."

UPDATE MAY 14, 2009 JESSE VENTURA on Larry King regarding torture
--------
VENTURA: It's drowning. It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning. It is no good, because you -- I'll put it to you this way, you give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.

UPDATE MAY 16, 2009 McChrystal and Pelosi
how I got approached years ago:
ReplyDeletea colleague of mine handed me a business card from his interviewer from AL-CIA-DA. the interviewer's card was pretty plain. On it, was "Mr. Gray", and a phone number to the Ulysses S. Grant Hotel in San Diego, CA. with a room number on it. Actually the whole floor was rented for 'Mr. Gray' to keep to himself in.
my colleague said; "the number won't work in a week, so if you want to work for these guys, you need to move fast..", and added; "I declined" to his speech.
I tossed the card into a storm drain right on the street. Working for AL-CIA-DA is the same as working for the devil. Your soul is sold forever, and there's no redeeming it. You belong to them for the rest of your life.
as for the Wilsons, they had the delusion they were serving their country by working for 'the company' but working for the 'company' or AL-CIA-DA, you're not working for your country. You're working for a shadow government that believes itself to be above the law, impervious to standing trial for crimes from murder, to assassinations, to blackmailing politicians, and yes, torturing children by sodomizing them in front of women.
that's what AL-CIA-DA is, Joseph Wilson, and Valerie Plame, the same fucks you worked for were hideous monsters who's only function in life was to use you both like common condoms and once thru with you, they burn you or flush you down the toilet. You never served your country, you served a shadow government of scum from the Skull and Bones club. You served people bent on destroying all that is good and decent. You worked for 'Death, Inc.' and you deluded yourselves into thinking otherwise. You got what you had coming to you for your delusions.
Once again: The comments are the best part. Too bad more Americans can't find their moral compass.
ReplyDeleteThanks anonymous above - aren't there more like you out there? A few perhaps - but nowhere in proportion to the size of our government. I wonder what accounts for the difference?
If I could have any wish granted right now - it would be for every visitor to this blog to post similar experiences for us all to see. There is no more hiding, time is running out - the money has run out. The game is up.

ReplyDeletebeing a former 'spook' is not an easy life. some of us are highly principled, and a greater number of us abhor and reject what the Central Intelligence Agency is and how they do their job.
ReplyDeleteso, writing missives here in this blog, in a few others, it's hoped that the censorship won't kick in and make it impossible for people to see what is really going on. between you and me and the fence post, if you criticize Israel in any way, or decry their murder, or shed light on their total, utter control of the U.S. government thru blackmail and threats and bribery, then your post won't be there long. If you talk about 'revolution', your post, once again, won't be there long. If you talk about members of the Congress and the Senate being guilty of HIGH TREASON, then your posts, once again, will be expunged and your comments removed as if they never existed.
what is astonishing, Jack Rabbit, is that we have so many allegedly educated, bright people in this country, and so very many of them absolutely refuse to get the information and do the research and analyze it themselves to get to the truth. recently, I accused a former 'friend' of 'derelection of duty' because of his, for the past 7 1/2 years since the treason of 2001, he has failed to get a grip on what really happened. The truth is here. It's not rocket science anymore, it's here. The Steven Jones and Neils Harrit and the other scientists like Dr. Gage, all of their work is 'here' for all to see. And still, we have just around 40 percent of the nation so ignorant that they don't believe that rogue elements of the government and the israeli mossad were involved in that mass murdering that day.
moral compass? most americans can't find their ass with a ten hand working party and a flashlight for each of them. We live in a nation of lazy, complacent jerk off's who have the same degree of inquisitive curiousity as belly button lint does. dumbed down, fried, clueless, there are just so many of them and so few of us.
as for any other former 'spooks' coming in here, you shouldn't hold your breath waiting. so many are afraid of the retribution they'll face for dropping the proverbial dime on their 'company' they worked for. we can hope, but to my knowledge, there's only one man who's doing this, and he is constantly in their faces, and I think we all know who he is. He recently read the riot act to Gen. Richard C. Myers, more or less surgically cut the scumbag's balls off in front of a room full of people. he's the only one I know, with maybe two other exceptions, one being Wayne Madsen, and another guy named Rob Finnegan. we're just not enough of us.
Anonymous above - thank you for your thoughtful comments.
ReplyDeleteYes - Ray McGovern comes to my mind - now there's a real MAN for you! Boy did he ever give it to Myers! But what did the audience do? Shout him down, shut him up - show that UNPOPULAR SPEECH will not stand. Speaking TRUTH TO POWER will not be tolerated!
JFK said - those who make peaceful change impossible make violent revolution inevitable. And that is exactly what the audience did - silence speech directed right at the heart of the problem.
One leader vs. an army of lemmings.
I can't even begin to enumerate the number of times that Ray McGovern has gotten into the faces of these scum and called them out and ripped their gonads off and held them up as trophies right in front of them. Other than a couple women from Code Pink, he's probably the most consistently 'bold' one amongst us.
ReplyDeleteas for the 'lemmings' I think I need to re-classify most of them as 'salamanders' because they're more likely now to slither around to the cliff instead of bound over it like a lemming would. :)
Thanks 10:31 above - yeah, we have to get our terms correct. Like sorting trash. There are recyclables and there are non-recyclables.
