Topic: SRA/Prisoner abuse
The "softening up for interrogation" excuse for SRA/mindwar is apparently wearing thin after FIVE YEARS, so now the sadists who run Gitmo are coming up with some new doozies for sensory deprivation (one of the forms of "enhanced interrogation"), some of which are mentioned in The insanity of Guantánamo :
A) Prisoner not accepted by country to which the US would return him
B) Attempted to commit suicide, put in isolation under constant observation for "mental health" treatment
C) "Recovered" and returned to normal isolation (utter lack of mental stimulation - essentially sensory deprivation).
D) Punishment
The article states that some of the prisoners are showing signs of developing schizophrenia, which can be construed as regression to a former stage of consciousness-evolution known as the sentient-soul stage. During this stage, which is evident in the early portions of the Old Testament, mankind in general had no capability to think for itself, and it received inspiration from God. For more on this from a Darwinian perspective, see The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes. Besides the vast majority which had this mode of consciousness, there was a minority with advanced stages of consciousness, explaining the evidence of conscious thought in ancient times.
So, I surmise, one of the experiments in mind control being conducted at Gitmo is to try to regress the prisoners to this stage of consciousness, and control them by providing an artificial "voice of God." A hint of this agenda is contained in the Fundy visions of Christ's supposedly imminent Earthly kingdom, where humans would supposedly have the mentality of contented cattle. However, the reality would be much more like a "concentration camp without tears," because the inmates would have no mind or free will, and thus no consciousness of being slaves.
