Re: Where The Torture Never Stops...

Come on Onin, watch the numbers skyrocket after Bush signs off on Ashcroft's wet dream. The US has the most bloated "justice" industry in the world, far bigger than any in history, and the spate of bills appearing will fatten these pigs beyond anything seen in the commie and fascist regimes. We are seeing the militarization of the US homeland, following the coup-pattern of a huge number of dipshit nations in Latin America, Asia, Africa and dots in the oceans which the US has armed and trained to attack the citizenry. Don't forget the US Joint Chiefs of Staff in the late 60s was studying murdering US citizens, and blaming it on the Cubans, to justify an attack on Castro. Would today's war criminals cook up a bin Laden version of Castrao? Yeah, they would if their economic interests were threatened. Watch for increasing provocations at home and overseas. Step by step ratcheting up the national security threat, as Tim and others have predicted. With economic threats being the glue that holds it together. The economic stimulus package just passed is the clue to broadening participation in the coup, again the same way corporations were enlisted to, and in some case led, overthrow of legitimate governments all around the globe. Watch for Americans who protest begin to disappear, in jail and on the streets. Watch for tales of torture to be leaked to scare the shit out of those who think defending civil liberties carries no risk. Will officials be shot in retaliation for official torture, rape and murder? Well, that's the Latin American model, and look who trained for that grim policy, what was it called, School of the Americas. Watch for Kissinger to advocate anti-terrorism mayhem so he won't be tried as a war criminal. Watch for Israel to leak more NSA intercepts of Arab leaders through Seymour Hersh. Watch for Woolsey to admit that spying on Amercians by the intelligence agencies never stopped after the Church Committee hearings, it just went blacker. Watch the intelligence oversight committees get investigated for negligence, excused by the anti-terrorism fervor, then even deeper domestic spying be covertly authorized cloaked by the Ashcroft kind. Watch for the intelligence agencies doing wet work at home, with leaks of the deeds to sow fear, suspicion of neighbors and obedience. Watch Disney's theme parks, Malls of America, be sacrificed to boost the hysteria, intelligence leads on the coming slaughter deliberately withheld in the Franklin Roosevelt model. The US has trained two generations of Americans to do all these things covertly and overtly, invested a big hunk of the nation's wealth in a bloated military and intelligence and justice regime and supporting industry providing lifelong employment for hundreds of thousands and return on investments for ten times that. Will such a vast, lucrative enterprise not do whatever it could to perpetuate its existence by finding an endless supply of enemies, most home grown for that very purpose? The only question is are you part of it, and who here does not benefit from this vile racket? If you have been to college you are a beneficiary, if you are successful you are a beneficiary, if you are not in jail you are a beneficiary. Excuse me for digging my foxhole deeper.

An armed uprising won't transpire, but a time will come when people will run away from cities. Even if you disagree with prophecy, I very much doubt that you truly believe that there is men and women in great numbers that will fight. After spending 26 years on this planet, it will not be a surprise to me when my neighbors, family & friends are first in line to the inoculation centers. Why? Because it will be the simpliest of things.

Greg, Welcome to America's "New Era." Goebels, Himmler and the rest of the team are reincarnated. Welcome back to meatspace Gentlemen, it's been far too long! What organizations will be challenging the Constitutionality of at least sections of the soon to be recent Gestapo Act? Who has standing to challenge a law that has yet to be enforced? Where are $ best placed to get results?

What you seem to be missing is that the approx 1000 people now being held haven't been "incarcerated for a fucked up deed" - they're being held for what's probably a spectrum of reasons, ranging from "found in an airport with a one-way plane ticket, a boxcutter, and a forged passport on the morning of 9/11" to "gave a cop too much attitude while having a non-Western name". But we don't know who's being held, nor for how long, nor what the reasons are, or the evidence which establishes that the "reasons" have some relationship to reality. We have a special process for deciding who's done fucked up deeds and thus deserving of punishment, and it's called a trial. After these people have had one, then we can argue about what ought to happen to them. Until then - and/or at least until the evidence against these people has been made public and subjected to scrutiny - we don't know whether these people are Mother Teresa or Satan himself or somewhere in between. If we're going to start beating and torturing and killing people pretrial (paying special attention to foreigners who may not fully agree with our culture or values), exactly how is the ruling regime in the US different from the ruling regime in Afghanistan? The only aspect left that I can see that's different would be a nominally secular vs religious basis, but I don't trust Ashcroft to respect that for long. Pretrial detention is not supposed to suck, it's supposed to be minimally burdensome, to the extent that's compatible with making sure people show up for trial, don't commit further crimes, and don't cost an exorbitant amount of staff attention. (* This isn't meant as a claim that what we had prior to 9/11 in terms of trials, pretrial detention, or any of the other criminal procedure features was what it's advertised to be, or that it was compatible with the Constitution - but I still regard the abandonment of even the pretense of complying with the Constitution as a significant step towards some very serious trouble.) -- Greg Broiles gbroiles(a)well.com "We have found and closed the thing you watch us with." -- New Delhi street kids

FBI considers torture as suspects stay silent
by Incognito Innominatus 25 Oct '01

FBI considers torture as suspects stay silent http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2001350021-2001364909,00.html AMERICAN investigators are considering resorting to harsher interrogation techniques, including torture, after facing a wall of silence from jailed suspected members of Osama bin Ladens al-Qaeda network, according to a report yesterday. More than 150 people who were picked up after September 11 remain in custody, with four men the focus of particularly intense scrutiny. But investigators have found the usual methods have failed to persuade any of them to talk. Options being weighed include truth drugs, pressure tactics and extraditing the suspects to countries whose security services are more used to employing a heavy-handed approach during interrogations. Were into this thing for 35 days and nobody is talking. Frustration has begun to appear, a senior FBI official told The Washington Post. Under US law, evidence extracted using physical pressure or torture is inadmissible in court and interrogators could also face criminal charges for employing such methods. However, investigators suggested that the time might soon come when a truth serum, such as sodium pentothal, would be deemed an acceptable tool for interrogators. The public pressure for results in the war on terrorism might also persuade the FBI to encourage the countries of suspects to seek their extradition, in the knowledge that they could be given a much rougher reception in jails back home. One of the four key suspects is Zacarias Moussaoui, a French Moroccan, suspected of being a twentieth hijacker who failed to make it on board the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. Moussaoui was detained after he acted suspiciously at a Minnesota flying school, requesting lessons in how to steer a plane but not how to take off or land. Both Morocco and France are regarded as having harsher interrogation methods than the United States. The investigators have been disappointed that the usual incentives to break suspects, such as promises of shorter sentences, money, jobs and new lives in the witness protection programme, have failed to break the silence. We are known for humanitarian treatment, so basically we are stuck. Usually there is some incentive, some angle to play, what you can do for them. But it could get to that spot where we could go to pressure . . . where we dont have a choice, and we are probably getting there, an FBI agent involved in the investigation told the paper. The other key suspects being held in New York are Mohammed Jaweed Azmath and Ayub Ali Khan, Indians who were caught the day after the attacks travelling with false passports, craft knives such as those used in the hijackings and hair dye. Nabil Almarabh, a Boston taxi driver alleged to have links to al-Qaeda, is also being held. Some legal experts believe that the US Supreme Court, which has a conservative tilt, might be prepared to support curtailing the civil liberties of prisoners in terrorism cases. However, a warning that torture should be avoided came from Robert Blitzer, a former head of the FBIs counter-terrorism section. He said that the practice goes against every grain in my body. Chances are you are going to get the wrong person and risk damage or killing them. In all, about 800 people have been rounded up since the attacks, most of whom are expected to be found to be innocent. Investigators believe there could be hundreds of people linked to al-Qaeda living in the US, and the Bush Administration has issued a warning that more attacks are probably being planned. Newsweek magazine reports today that Mohammed Atta, the suspected ringleader who died in the first plane to hit the World Trade Centre, had been looking into hitting an aircraft carrier. Investigators retracing his movements found that he visited the huge US Navy base at Norfolk, Virginia, in February and April this year.

Vital Living Products (OTC BB: VLPI) recently announced it had developed home testing kits for Anthrax and the stock soared to a 52-week high on Monday with shares climbing from $0.06 to $2.00.

There is a great deal of investment speculation. TRSG Corp. is a leader in selling neutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and health and dietary supplements in the U.S. and Japan.

(OTC BB: TSGO), a majority-owned subsidiary of Gateway Distributors Ltd., Thursday announced it has entered into a preliminary agreement to acquire certain assets of Mobility Solutions Inc. These assets include the Rest Assured Product Line of hand-held, low-cost devices used to detect the presence of biological agents such as Bacillus Anthraci (commonly referred to as Anthrax) as well as many other biological agents. The Rest Assured Biological Agent Detection Product line utilizes UV-A waves or waves in the 320 to 380 nm range, commonly referred to as black light or wood's light, that have been determined to not cause sunburn to human skin though the use of eye protection is recommended during use. These products are for detection purposes only and are not intended as a treatment or cure for any specific disease. Ongoing research is being conducted at this time to verify the product's effectiveness in the use of identifying the presence of a wide range of biological agents such as Becillus Anthraci, which is currently making headlines throughout the world.
