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.

Guantánamo Bay: Interrogators told to destroy torture notes, US lawyer claims  is actually not what it appears to be, an anyone of average or better intelligence will realize upon reflection, mainly because "enhanced interrogation" has nothing to do with interrogation, and there is no reason to take notes.  So, this is most likely just another gambit intended to subliminally con us into believing that "not torture" is intended to obtain information (in which case we should have won the war by now, assuming that a conventional military victory was ever the goal).

If any of the knuckledraggers abusing prisoners at Guantanamo could actually read and write, and if they would actually make notes of their war crimes, they might go something like this: "The new haji told me that he was OBL's secret boss, and that he would tell me anything I wanted.  I chuckled, hooded him, and punched him randomly for about an hour.  There's nothing like beating a haji to a pulp to relieve stress.  Then I had Lyndie invade his 'myspace' and call him a girlie-man, and told her I'd see her at the orgy at the Gitmo club.  I tied him to the floor in the cell with a cold-water tap just out of reach, smeared him with his own feces, put a Megadeath CD on an endless loop at earsplitting levels, turned out the lights, and set the temperature to 100 degrees.  The docs will check in every few hours to make sure he doesn't quite die - nobody gets off that easy.  They tell me I'm good at driving these hajis insane, and that I should consider training guards for the Blackwater prison camps being built in the US.  I told him that it used to bother me, but that I suddenly started liking it a while back, although I don't know why, and now the only thing I enjoy more is an orgy.  They said they were glad to hear it, and that they'd put in a good word for me with Eric Prince, the born-again Christian who owns Blackwater.  I might end up getting rich for doing something I like - you could call it my American dream."

I can already hear a President Obama "explaining" in his soaring, detached rhetoric why it is "necessary" to nuke Iran.   That's the best "alternative" we can expect if he is appointed as the Democratic Presidential candidate by a bunch of money-grubbing traitors known as superdelegates who are being bought up by the dozen by Her Majesty's banker, George Soros, and delivered to Obama. 

More likely, though, is that Obama's backers would never allow Clinton to become his VP, and that her female supporters will get their revenge on the Democratic Party by voting for McCain, which was Obama's purpose from the start - to deliver the Presidency to a fascist, or at least a hood-ornament for the fascist Armageddon Express, ostensibly without the Christian Zionist wingnuts.  (But the fantasy-based political group known as "evangelical Christianity" is cranking up its "salvation" machine, and lining up a new batch of those so grateful to be "saved" just in time to supposedly be "raptured," that they'll vote for whomever the "politically correct" Christian Zionist, perhaps Robertson, favors.  They claim to be politically neutral, but they'll say anything.)

My vague suspicions along these lines were confirmed by a recent press release by LaRouche, who has exposed the inner workings of the British-controlled machine which is greasing the skids for Obama, the boy wonder (no racism intended - I don't see him in terms of race, but as a disposable tool of the enemies of mankind).  For the details, see LaRouche Warns of McCain Defeat of Obama (see LaRouche Warns of McCain Defeat of Obama )   Now that his vastly wealthy Establishment backers have been exposed, his meteoric rise isn't such a wonder.

If you watch the replay, I suggest having a barf-bucket handy.  The most disgusting thing about it though, is that our goverment bases many of its policies on such nauseatingly transparent lies, and millions of Americans actually believe them.

from Prison ships, torture claims, and missing detainees :

Ben Griffin, a former SAS soldier, said that individuals detained by SAS troops in a joint UK-US special forces taskforce had ended up in interrogation centres in Iraq, including Guantánamo Bay. "These secretive prisons are part of a global network in which individuals face torture and are held indefinitely without charge," he said.

"All of this is in direct contravention of the Geneva conventions, international law and the UN convention against torture." The Ministry of Defence obtained a high court injunction preventing him from making any further allegations.  [end of excertps]

Pattern?  What pattern?  Just a few more bad apples [> 69 > 666], some in high places.

Further reflection on Robert Scheer's article Where is the outrage? triggered the realization that Scheer might have been daring us to recognize that articles such as his which contain phrases such as "harsh interrogation techniques" have the effect of preventing the development of outrage because they give the subliminal impression that such techniques are effective, and thus justified, despite all the claims to the contrary.  When seen in the settings depicted in the show 24, it seems plausible that it would be effective, but the fact is that there is no relationship between the depictions on 24 and how "not torture" is conducted in the real world, and upon whom it is inflicted.  On the show, Bauer almost always gets the right guy, and doesn't pussyfoot around with half-measures - he puts them in extreme pain and/or a justified fear of death immediately, and in a panic, they spill the beans.  In the real world, there are no Islamic terrorists who pose significant threats (there might be mavericks who kill a few people, but major operations are run by Satan's intelligence agencies and disguised as Islamic extremism), and "enhanced interrogation" leave them with sufficient mental capacity in the short term to fabricate stories to confuse the Great Satan.

If the truthful phrase "intermediate SRA technique" or "mindwar technique" were substituted, Scheer would get his outrage, and more, although a lot of people would probably drop dead from the shock of seeing reality for the first time, and realizing that when Bush said "catastrophic success," he meant it.

It is outrageous that intellectuals such as Robert Scheer continue to repeat, in articles such as Where's the outrage?, the rumor that torture and Bush's "not torture" are interrogation techniques. 

What does he expect us to do?  Storm the Capitol, wave signs and scream "stop this insanity?"  It would be pointless, when Congress would neutralize our outrage by simply asserting that the mere fact that it continues is all the proof they need that it works.  The point is not whether it works, but its actual purpose.

May 27, 2008 (LPAC)--Pressure is increasing from Howard Dean's DNC and Nancy Pelosi's Democratic Congressional leadership, for Democratic superdelegates to overrule the popular vote in primaries and caucuses, by forcing Sen. Hillary Clinton out of the Presidential race immediately after June 3, when she likely will have won the total Democratic popular vote. 

from DNC Wants Superdelegates To Override Popular Vote

Pelosi and the DNC have thus demonstrated that "democracy" is fascism dressed up as freedom.  LaRouche claims that once the fascists use Obama to get rid of Clinton, they'll use him, one way or another, to effectively install a fascist as President.  This would ensure, as Felix "the Rat" Rohatyn (Pelosi's Synarchist master) once said, that there will be no more FDR's, implying that there will be Hitlers instead.

One phrase that I've heard frequently in connection with "enhanced interrogation" is "extract intelligence," which is the supposed purpose of "interrogation."  This phrase can also be construed as a reference to the destruction of the mind, which I contend is one of the likely actual purposes of this heinous process (another is to facilitate possession of the perpetrators' souls by Satanic beings).  Defense Sec. Gates recently indicated that between 70 and 80 of the detainees cannot be released, and that we're "stuck" with them (see US 'stuck' with Guantanamo prison).  The ostensible reason for this is that they are too dangerous, but I don't buy it.  More likely is that they, like Jose Padilla, have been reduced to "furniture," and must be hidden away from all but those who  are working on synthetic replacements for the human mind which will allow the inhabitants of Huxley's envisioned "concentration camp without tears" to perform useful labor for Big Brother.  Such a project can be inferred from the following passage from Is the Devil in Your Laptop?:

Behavioral psychologists like J.C.R. Licklider were called upon to concoct breathless new theories to explain the emerging interface between man and machine. Licklider had been a participant at Wiener's cybernetics conferences and was hired by various government, academic, and private research labs, many of which sprung up with funding from ARPA.  While heading the Command and Control [hint?] Research division of ARPA in 1960, he wrote a paper titled, "Man-Computer Symbiosis."  In it he stated, "The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and that the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today."  [Not necessarily better - just different.]

That hope would take form in such later projects as DARPA's Augmented Cognition to create soldier-computer "dyads," and the sterile vision for a "Posthuman Renaissance," where "there are no demarcations between bodily existence and computer simulation, between cybernetic mechanism and biological organism."  This would become the holy grail of the front-end research that has spun off not only future battlefield technologies, but also much of today's sociopath-creating video-game industry.

Isn't the issue of WMDs in the hands of terrorists the supposed basis of the "war on terror?"  Perhaps "Al Qaeda's" video (Al Qaeda Supporters' Tape to Call for Use of WMDs) is actually intended to ensure that the American public blames "Islamic fundamentalists" - and by association every Muslim on Earth - for another black-ops attack to occur in the near future.

By the way, considering the filthy tactics (including forcing teenagers to become suicide bombers by threatening their families) used by these so-called "Islamic fundamentalists," we should wonder how they can still be considered to have any morality at all.   In other words, their supposed religion is intended as a distraction from their true motives, and an excuse for the US to brutalize Muslims in general (as seen in the designation of innocent Muslims as "the worst of the worst," and "interrogating" them for YEARS).
