From: "smOkco" To: Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 10:00 AM Subject: Right on Hooding Dear Susan, Yes, hooding is torture. You're the first I know within the Internet who recognize this simple and horrible truth. You couldndt breathe, no one can. The hoods used by the soldiers are lengthy and go down down the pinnacle so att the minimal air coming in mixes with your personal exhausted air, all the time. Two minutes is a very long time. I had a hood on me during more than two months. With the hood in your head you are blind, you reside in a world with out gentle. The hearing is bad. In all circumstances I do know of hooding the fingers are certain on the back of the body, so it's unattainable to help with the fingers and arms the remainder of the illtreated body. There is a science of hooding, doctors and psychoanalists in the armed forces have really helpful "remedies" of the hooded which applies systematically by the troopers. For example the "water boarding" you identify (we referred to as it "the submarine") is done with the hood on. When the troopers get your head out of the water you get an additional punch within the stomach, you're dying a horrible demise desperately looking for simply just a little air. The wet hood is even tighter on you. And so on, electric shocks, sexual illtreatment, etc. As you point out, individuals die beneath this "simple" therapy. Everybody is kicked and punched from the second they get hooded, continously. When folks fall down pushed by the soldiers they get badly hurt. As you know, the military are usually not counting lifeless iraquies, I suppose the variety of deaths by hooding should be excessive with 40-50.000 prisoners getting this remedy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In every military transport automobile used in Iraq and Agfanistan there is a pile of hoods ready for use. These hoods are produced in factories, by the hundreds of hundreds, administrated, paid, counted and sent to each battalion out in the sector. That is systematic, planed torture. It isn't "abuse", it's torture, ending many occasions in dying. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A very good description is made by Matthew Happold in the Guardian "Hooding - the inserting of a bag or sack over a person's head and securing it so that it can't be removed - is a apply with an ugly history. It isn't only inhuman and illegal; it's also typically the harbinger of further tough therapy. Were such a practice to be adopted at residence, there could be an outcry. It's troublesome to see why practising it abroad on foreigners renders it acceptable. There are no good reasons to hood detainees. It does not provide any additional safety to the detaining troops as soon as the suspect is certain, nor is there any need for British troops to hide their identification from their captives. Hooding is a form of sensory deprivation. It's disorientating, scary and probably dangerous for these topic to it (notably when their hands are additionally tied). Hooding additionally serves to dehumanise the person subjected to it, possibly resulting in rougher therapy at the hands of his captors. Indeed, television footage of British troops escorting hooded suspects did not present them acting with much solicitude. Hooding has often been used as a "softening up" approach prior to interrogation. The fact that it is being practised by British troops doesn't give one confidence as to their behaviour once the cameras stop rolling and interrogation starts."

It is actually in its insights, one for my lifetime. There are not any words to fully cover how razor sharp and funny those insights have been. The perverse in-denial angle of most Americans I have heard reactions from about this are one thing to behold. The embarrassment for the fairly evident true white supremacist, sexually conflicted, violence-fascinated hypocrisy in this entire affair leaves them stammering and struggling with deciding whether they are truly as stupid as they appear to have been, or to yet as soon as once more struggle to put a positive face on it, as something that we are going to get by and make a course correction on (and go forward in ³staying the course²) in the ³war on terror².

I've read your report - a disgusting learn certainly. There isn't any level "hoping" Bush will learn it too. He & all his cabal are psychopaths & they care zero about other than themselves. There's quite a bit online about psychopaths at www.cassiopaea.org I've severely thought of sending your report back to all New Zealand members of parliament [but they would not be capable to stomach it]. I've not even had an acknowledgement of my letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs & Trade written the day news of the photos obscenity broke. Nasty, sensitive, little man that he has only ever been! Enough of N.Z. politics. I really needed to inform you that elsewhere I have learn second-hand [i.e., a translation - presumably on a South American of Mexican site] that a physician who noticed the video of the Berg slaugher declared that Berg wasn't alive: no blood spurted everywhere when the jugulars had been minimize. I'm a retired registered nurse: a severed jugular definitely shoots a whole lot of blood because of the pumping coronary heart. Also, that the screams were not in sync. with the applying of the knife. I've not seen the video myself, [& don't have any intention of doing so] so cannot give an opinion. Just thought I might let you realize of the chance that the murder was staged. I'm fairly sure that in one other sense it was staged: the focus should be saved on these dirty, freedom & democracy hating, un-christian muslims! If solely there have been at least 200 million citizens of the U.S. of A. who are as awake, conscious as you & still too few others in the U.S. of A. are. I think that the majority of your compatriots are in some sort of hynogogic state. Still, it isn't new: the "leaders" of your country have been oppressing peoples all through the world for as long as the U.S. of A has existed. It has only ever been an imperialistic power. Colonialism PAYS - Big TIME. However, to yanks, it's at all times been that mythical place: "residence of the brave, land of the free". Anyway, thanks for the disgusting learn - you wrote what I am too dispirited to express.

Jeff Grunewald From: "Michael Skoruppa" To: Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 4:Fifty three AM Subject: Bush POW porn Dear Dr. Block, your outspoken commentary impressed me very much. And so did your name on> your fellow citizens to do all they can to finish the arrogant, ignorant and criminal behaviour of your leaders against the rest of the world. This very morning I heard that the Pentagon referred to as new allegations in Monday's New Yorker "outlandish". This jogs my memory, as a German, of our Neonazis' slogan ("Auslaender raus=foreigners out!). As in our country, in my father's generation, there seem to be some little (in our case brown) males who got here from Mars and did terrible issues in Germany's title with no connection to the German individuals in any respect. So now there are some unamerican people within the US who do plenty of unamerican issues. Much has been said on Counterpunch of the preparations of your gevernment that each one confirmed within the route of the abuses that had been carried out, because it seems, right from the tip of the first stage of this warfare, when Bush declared "Mission Accomplished". But as within the case of my country these atrocities couldn't have been carried out with out the, a minimum of silent, approval of the so-referred to as moral majority. When i see stories concerning the US in our nation which, after all, usually are not all favourable, there is one thing that all the time strikes me most which time after time I cannot come to phrases with: That is that this absolute self-righteousness. If you're a "good guy" all is Ok. But when you do one thing flawed all abuse is allowed. The first precondition in punishment and correction seems to be, for many US-citizens I noticed in lots of docmentaries, to break the will of a person, to interrupt the individual. The righteousness uncovered appears to be driven by a deep hatred of all deviations, but in reality of life itself. It reminded me of pictures of the pillors within the MA, in the dead of night ages, once i saw a young offender having to go around carrying a "sandwich" saying "I am a thief". But this, I'm told, is occurring in the USA immediately.Mumia Abu Jamal wrote in the "Junge Welt" (a German newspaper which you'll alo discover on the web www.jungewelt.de) that you can't liberate a folks you despise. And I think it is extra obvious from another reality than the torture and the abuse that the US army and US administration never had the intention to liberate the nation, to bring "freedom and democracy" and what have you ever. You don't liberate a country by poisoning it with depleted uranium ammunition, with the nuclear waste of your country, killing not solely individuals of this technology, but of many, many unborn generations. The US authorities denies any connection between most cancers and depleted uranium. They have absolutely the energy, the facility to outline. I think if people would see the deformed new-born babies of Iraq, without eyes, even with out heads (as you possibly can at the German Tv station "Phoenix" final weak) no less than a number of the US-residents would perceive the recklessness of their superiors. It is not only this president who contaminates different nations, there were two presidents earlier than him who did the same: Bush 1 in Iraq and Clinton in the Balcans. Using the uranium ammunition reveals the deep-seated disregard of the people all of other international locations than the US within the elites clearer than the rest can. Well, and it have to be added, for Bush, the servant of the US power industry, it's one other possibility to prove himself. He brought the oil below control and he helped the companies another time to get rid of their nuclear waste. Despite all of the chatter of "ethical management" (when can the US regain its moral management? tomorrow? the day after tomorrow? they ask) the white western peoples, this master-race, has only introduced misery and demise to the remainder of the world, to the colonized world since 500 years. We should all calm a bit down and begin to attempt to behave like human beings although this may be a bit arduous at first.

It is vitally thought scary. I used to be also interested to know concerning the backgrounds of the men Bush despatched to run his prisons in Iraq. I used to be significantly focused on your speculations about Bush's sexuality. For a man who's imagined to have been a "womanizer" in his youth, he has an entire dearth of outdated girlfriends, and seems frigidly uncomfortable when holding Laura's hand. My mom, a therapist, told me that when two people develop into sexually intimate, their personal boundries meld together; they're no longer conscious of them with one another. Based on that info, I would say Bush has by no means had intercourse with Laura. His body language, when near her, is that of a midddle college boy, stiff, embarrassed and repelled. I believe he's comfy with Karen Hughes and Condi Rice because he's very comfortable with girls as nannies. It's probably the one intimate relationship he has ever had. They actually act like nannies towards him. I began to suspect the Bush twins origin when GW needed to take a month to come back to a call about stem cell research. In a thoughts so definitively black and white, the reply he came up with, that some personally designated stem cell research was okay, but all other such research was forbidden, seemed a byzantine reply to a straight forward question. That, combined with the knowledge that Laura "had quite a lot of bother getting pregnant" in response to Bush's autobiography, satisfied me that there are a couple of discarded Bush embryos in that family's past. There are no twins in Laura's family, there are not any twins in Bush's family. It must have taken several tries to simply produce twins, relatively than telling triplets or quads. And that man has no connection by any means to his kids.

The War on Terror is full of ironies and the problem is that Americans are renown for their hatred of history, any history. The sickness is obvious in Britain also. Tony Blair twisted his mouth to condemn the Taliban then the Mujahadeen of being the reason for the increase of Heroine addiction in Britain! That's one thing! It was the British who pressured the Chinese to take opium grown in Afghanistan and India thus causing the greatest dope sickness in human historical past and laying the foundations for Mao's Communist victory. Making Chinese dope addicts was the international policy of the British authorities helped along by American entrepreneurs whose ranks embrace the Forbes family, the maternal line of John Kerry. The explanation John Kerry 'volunteered' for service in Vietnam might be resulting from his Forbes family nonetheless having vital assets within the area that have been threatened by the unfold of Communism. Anyway, how dare a British Prime Minister lament about Afghanistan opium making it is way into British lungs and veins! Hypocrite, the Hindus call this Karma and Malcolm X known as it 'chickens coming dwelling to roast.' Anyway got off the purpose which is that this, on the floor Christians, Muslims and Jews seem to be preventing one another, though the Christian aspect is taking great pains to not call it a Crusade. The refined reality is that the fundamentalist of each of these religions are really preventing one another to maintain Women in verify. The argument every of those Misogynist religions has used over the centuries is that Women needed to be protected from aggressive males. So it's now that every facet is using the menace of exterior terrorism to both remind Women of their dependence on males, or to revive Women to an inferior frame of mind, the so-referred to as 'Traditional Values' platform of the Christian fundamentalist. We see this in the best way the Jessica Lynch story was performed, that a female has no place in the military as a result of they require strong male soldiers to come back to their rescue with out pointing out that there were much more men then Women that were captured. What the Bush Christian fundamentalist would prefer is Sgt. Rock male heroes like Pat Tillman who was so hyped up on Steroids he made the silly move of leaving a lucrative NFL contract to go and die in Afghanistan out of a way of responsibility! He was silly as a result of are any of the Bush or Cheney household men so inclined? What about Perle? Armitage? Frist? Pat Tillman is the type of man American girls can >rely on, a fool that will handle to be the only NFL participant ever to be killed in combat! But Bush, being the Christian fundamentalist that he claims, needs to be very involved about two GI deaths whose symbolism bodes in poor health for the USA and his political agenda. 1) The first soldier to die in combat was named Jefferson Davis after the Confederate president. He was killed by US troops thus closing the sorry chapter where at last the 'Union' military does the suitable thing towards the traitors. Right now we are seeing Neo-confederates like Ashcroft, Lott, Delay and other misogynist-racist cement what's in fact a coup et at of the US authorities, but Davis death marks the top of them. 2) Pat Tillman. The Super bowl controversy over Janet Jackson's breast demonstrated simply how deep the pathological hatred for the Feminine goes in Christian America. We had to witness the sad spectacle of school educated Women condemn the Female Breast as 'inappropriate' for youngsters but not say a phrase in regards to the lessons of violence that American football teaches. Apparently to ignorant or brainwashed by Christian schooling and propaganda they're unable to know what they said and to hell with the context of where it happened. We re Mammals and I think the Breast of a Woman is specific to the Child, however then this is the one nation to ever make it a criminal offense for a Mother to nurse Her child! This isn't religion, this is pathology and that is what the Christian fundamentalist have completed and have to supply America. They're worst than the Taliban in this regard because as an alternative of merely oppressing Women, the perfect for the Christian fundamentalist is to avoid them altogether! On the problem of Pat Tillman's dying, perhaps all of the NFL players should be Federalized as Army troops, why if these are the flower of American manhood and can be used as Patriot Propaganda, then why not? The warfare should be looked at with a spiritual eye. Misogyny is the one factor Jew, Christian and Islamic fundamentalist all agree, and though they are actually making an attempt to kill one another, the principle goal is similar, suppress the rise of Women and Feminine Divine. It's the 21st Century and time for these Misogynist to go. Too unhealthy so many innocent people who find themselves in these religions merely from following the society they dwell in must die for the pimps who revenue off their cultivated ignorance.Lornet Prather From: Desmond Murphy To: liberties@blockbooks.com Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 12:10 AM Subject: "Smack Daddies . . .

Personally, I attribute religious organizations objection to 'medication' as a real battle - competition. Both methods have the last word goal of altering the reality of their subscribers - one with chemicals launched in the physique to imitate/intensify normal feelings, and the other manipulating highly effective brain chemical to do basically the same thing. They're both harmful, because the physique-rely from each sides clearly exhibits, and each treat signs - neither contribute to alleviating the emotional pain that has driven so many to resort to such drastic alternatives. Both lead folks to do things that are inimical to their own greatest pursuits - and people of their society. That is the refuge of the 'drop-outs' - the fatalists who see no options, no hope, and no optimism on this world. For all of those people, the world is a painful place and their existence one of countless misery. Such widespread fatalism paralyzes progress and discourages reforms that might improve circumstances - and that have to be fought, or the fatalists threat being proven wrong - the bete noir of those who refuse to accept any duty for the world wherein they dwell. So much simpler to do nothing and reside in a delusion. Drugs and religion have had such a love-hate relationship all through man's historical past, from instances of acceptance of each swinging alongside the continuum to absolute exclusion. The one fixed is the assumption that we are all inconsequential - incapable of affecting adjustments in our society - and thus the necessity to flee to that alternate actuality, be it a drug-induced euphoria or the comparable euphoria of a 'religious experience'. The dogged insistence that this world is so bad that the only hope is in an imaginary one. That is the attraction of both medication and religion, and the promise of drugs and/or religion. It is a lifeless-end. A cynicism, a pessimism that rejects nature - and life - as eternally flawed. At its extremes, either potion is lethal and destructive - not only to subscribers, but to these round them. They're a threat to all of mankind, and should be considered with cautious skepticism. Their message of hopelessness is infectious and might have broad repercussions. Your reminiscences of the Buddhas, the spectacle of the WTC catastrophe, the tragedy in Guiana, are however a few illustrations of the true hazard of embracing an altered reality. Drugs and religion convey misery even to those that reject their misguided perversion - to the families and societies pressured to live underneath such senseless despotism - they are a rejection of life itself. Both offer a false alternative to these so disillusioned that their lives have grow to be bereft of all hope and all joy - it's so unhappy that they endeavor to unfold their misery and grief to others. Nevertheless it definitely does not surprise me - misery loves firm. Old proverbs are primarily based in universal fact.My compliments in your heartfelt insights right into a world gone mad.
