When the Army Uses 'Enhanced Interrogation' on an American Soldier


Friday, 16 April 2010 09:17

'The worst part, he said, wasn’t battling insurgents or even the mortar blast that tossed him to the ground and slammed his head against the concrete — it was the way he was treated by the U.S. Army when he went to the aid station and sought medical help.
In gruesome detail, Luther described what happened to him at Camp Taji’s aid station. He thought he would receive medical care. Instead he was confined to an isolation chamber and held there for over a month, under enforced sleep deprivation, until he agreed to sign papers saying that he was ill before coming to Iraq and thus not eligible for disability and medical benefits. “They wanted me to say I had a ‘personality disorder,’” Luther told me.'

OK stretch, I'm sure you took that article at face value. I will admit I am an admirer of Joshua Kors, and I will not mock him or his work. He is without a doubt, a hero in my eyes.

That said, I do think he sometimes loses objectivity, in his zealousness, to fix a broken system. If you go past David Icke's use of this article, which you really should do. I mean we are talking about a man who professed to be the son of God here.

You will find Kors article, complete with a pictorial of the "isolation chamber".

Ya, ok, I hate to burst your bubble, but that was just slightly smaller then my shared room, when I served in the Army dude.

Then you have this whole "wasn't allowed to sleep" thing, but then he goes on to claim that when he protested, he was given "sleeping medication". This is inconsistency stretch, this is the stuff you should be looking for.

OK, this in and of itself, does not change the over all reality of the premise of the story. What it does do, is shine a light on Luther's credibility. Unfortunately so. Because I actually believe that Luther has a legitimate case, and he's chosen the right man to bring it to light. I also believe he embellished his plight. I do believe he was likely coerced into signing papers relieving the Military of any form of liability in helping him heal. But more so, I believe he shames himself and he damages his case with this concocted story, he likely made up to make his signing of those papers more illegitimate. He didn't have to.

I know what David has said in the past....you only have to read one or two of his books to know that he is pretty much spot on in what he said say 15 yrs ago....... because most of it has happened and or is happening right now.....and if you'd taken the time to read his books and listen to or watch...... you'd form a very different opinion of him to the one you have of him now , going on one comment he made, and he has explained why he said it.....did you happen to read that?? even......

Yes, I did. From where I sit, it looked a lot like classical back peddling.

I haven't read his books entirely, I've read certain portions of and come to the conclusion, he is a lot like most TV Evangelists, people like John Edwards and Sylvia Brown, simply full of shyte.

But he sure has a dedicate and feverish following, almost organized religion like. Seems some people who diss the establishments organized religions, traded sideways, if not down. Certainly not up.

so I'm to assume you're perfect........you've never said anything you regretted........actually, regretted, is the wrong word here...he learned from it......
"I read certain portions"......let me guess...the back cover...maybe the contents.... or did ya go on media reports.........?

The Man Who Stole Your Old Age: How Gordon Brown Secretly Imposed a Ruinous Tax That Has Wrecked the Retirements of Millions


Monday, 19 April 2010 06:51

'The Brown cabal needed to find ways to raise extra tax revenues for the wide-ranging programme of reforms New Labour planned.
So, on one fateful night in that suite overlooking Hyde Park, they decided that, once in power, they would launch a massive multi-billion-pound raid on a gold-plated, copper-bottomed sector of the British economy - its pension funds.'

Now we know the truth. The financial meltdown wasn't a mistake – it was a con

Hiding behind the complexities of our financial system, banks and other institutions are being accused of fraud and deception, with Goldman Sachs just the latest in the spotlight. This has become the most pressing election issue of all

The global financial crisis, it is now clear, was caused not just by the bankers' colossal mismanagement. No, it was due also to the new financial complexity offering up the opportunity for widespread, systemic fraud. Friday's announcement that the world's most famous investment bank, Goldman Sachs, is to face civil charges for fraud brought by the American regulator is but the latest of a series of investigations that have been launched, arrests made and charges made against financial institutions around the world. Big Finance in the 21st century turns out to have been Big Fraud. Yet Britain, centre of the world financial system, has not yet levelled charges against any bank; all that we've seen is the allegation of a high-level insider dealing ring which, embarrassingly, involves a banker advising the government. We have to live with the fiction that our banks and bankers are whiter than white, and any attempt to investigate them and their institutions will lead to a mass exodus to the mountains of Switzerland. The politicians of the Labour and Tory party alike are Bambis amid the wolves.
Just consider the roll call beyond Goldman Sachs. In Ireland Sean FitzPatrick, the ex-chair of the Anglo Irish bank was arrested last month and questioned over alleged fraud. In Iceland last week a dossier assembled by its parliament on the Icelandic banks – huge lenders in Britain – was handed to its public prosecution service. A court-appointed examiner found that collapsed investment bank Lehman knowingly manipulated its balance sheet to make it look stronger than it was – accounts originally audited by the British firm Ernst and Young and given the legal green light by the British firm Linklaters. In Switzerland UBS has been defending itself from the US's Inland Revenue Service for allegedly running 17,000 offshore accounts to evade tax. Be sure there are more revelations to come – except in saintly Britain.

Ganging Up on Grandma


Sunday, 25 April 2010 07:42

'You may think LaWanda and her 43,000 blue-gloved colleagues at airport checkpoints couldn’t sink any lower than humiliating a little boy wearing braces on his legs. Or forcing a woman to stand on her sprained ankle, thereby fracturing it. Or yanking the crutches from a passenger crippled by polio and threatening to charge her with assault for reflexively grabbing at them – after ordering her to drop her trousers (not to worry: they promised to shield her privacy with a sheet, sorta like the whole-body scanners that blur our faces while strip-searching us).
Ah, but you underestimate LaWanda et al. These brutes boast a limitless reservoir of cruelty – as Nadine Hays, her elderly mother, and a friend who was helping to care for the aged lady discovered at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA, last April. Before our public servants finished with them, Mrs. Hays would be in jail, her mother in emotional and physical distress, and her friend in tears at the savagery visited on them.'

Ganging Up on Grandma

Interesting how you rarely get disturbed airport check personnel like that in Western Europe.

Wouldn't surprise me if American airports select these people on purpose, much like police forces favour particularly brutal cops (in the deluded opinion that it makes the "service" more effective...and frankly because these people are attracted to enforcement-type authority like flies to shyte, eventually dominating said services).

Much like police forces, it mainly succeeds in terrorizing and humiliating non-criminals.


Americans practically live in a police state at this point, yet a large majority of them seem utterly clueless to the fact...except when it's literally up their arses. I wonder how Christian yanks go about turning the other cheek when they're getting their cheeks parted?

Doctors Sterilise Uzbek Women by Stealth


Monday, 26 April 2010 07:58

'When her baby died soon after delivery, Gulbahor Zavidova, 28, a poor farmer’s wife, longed to be pregnant again. After months of trying she and her husband visited a doctor who told her she could never have another child because she had been sterilised. The procedure had been performed immediately after she gave birth, by doctors who did not ask her consent. On learning she could not bear children, her husband left her.
According to human rights groups, tens of thousands of young women like Zavidova have been sterilised without their consent in the authoritarian former Soviet state of Uzbekistan.'

Bernanke Admits Printing $1.3 Trillion Out Of Thin Air


Sunday, 02 May 2010 08:20

'Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke admitted the central bank created $1.3 trillion out of thin air to buy mortgage backed securities. This shocking admission came from the Joint Economic Committee hearing on Capital Hill last week. I was dumbfounded when I saw Bernanke shake his head in the affirmative as Representative Ron Paul said, “Well, where did you get the money? You created this money. So you did monetize debt, and that went into the banking system.” I was amazed he admitted this. I looked up the original hearing on C-Span to make sure the clip was not edited. It was not.
What is even more shocking is I could not find a single mainstream news agency that covered this revelation.'

US Soldier Ordered to Leave Children Behind


Tuesday, 04 May 2010 05:54

'A US soldier who tried to help injured Iraqi civilians after a US apache strike says his superior ordered him not to tend to the injured children on the scene. Ethan McCord, a US infantry soldier, was one of the six troopers who were dispatched to the scene after the apache helicopters killed a dozen people, including two Reuters staff, in Baghdad.
"When I came on the scene I saw the bodies, I could hear a child crying, so the crying was coming from the van so I immediately went up to the van and when I looked inside I saw a girl who's about three years of age, she had a belly wound, and glass in her eyes and in her hair," McCord told Press TV in an exclusive interview on Sunday. "The team leader who was standing there told me I needed to stop worrying about these mother****ing kids," said McCord, a father of two.'

Secret Erik Prince/Blackwater Tape Exposed


Wednesday, 05 May 2010 08:19

'Erik Prince, the reclusive owner of the Blackwater empire, rarely gives public speeches and when he does he attempts to ban journalists from attending and forbids recording or videotaping of his remarks. On May 5, that is exactly what Prince is trying to do when he speaks at DeVos Fieldhouse as the keynote speaker for the "Tulip Time Festival" in his hometown of Holland, Michigan. He told the event’s organizers no news reporting could be done on his speech and they consented to the ban. Journalists and media associations in Michigan are protesting this attempt to bar reporting on his remarks.
Despite Prince’s attempts to shield his speeches from public scrutiny, The Nation magazine has obtained an audio recording of a recent, private speech delivered by Prince to a friendly audience. The speech, which Prince attempted to keep from public consumption, provides a stunning glimpse into his views and future plans and reveals details of previously undisclosed activities of Blackwater. The people of the United States have a right to media coverage of events featuring the owner of a company that generates 90% of its revenue from the United States government.'

'Google has admitted that it has been recording data transmissions on Wi-Fi networks using its Street View cars.
In a blog posting Alan Eustace, senior vice president of Engineering and Research explained that while Google routinely collected some wireless information in the cars, such as network names, it appeared for the last four years it had also been collecting payload data from open Wi-Fi points. “So how did this happen? Quite simply, it was a mistake,” he said.'

Haiti, Islamic Relief, UNICEF & the Scientologists

By Debbie Schlussel
While Israel was one of the first countries to deploy to Haiti to help relief efforts there–and, in fact, the Israeli mobile unit set up on a football field is essentially the only working hospital in Haiti–extremist Muslims and the Church of Scientology are engaged in far weaker efforts in Haiti that are, nonetheless, somewhat frightening.

'US Troops Kill Five Iraqi Bystanders'


Sunday, 13 June 2010 06:16

'Iraqis witnessing the arrival of US infantrymen on their rooftop have lost their lives after their house came under a bloody attack by the American troops. The Friday attack took place in al-Khanafsa area, south of Baghdad and near the holy city of Karbala, witnesses said, according to Reuters.
"The US troops came from here on foot patrol…," said one witness. "When they arrived, a man went to the roof of his house to look at them, they intentionally opened fire at him as they saw him and his wife who went upstairs to check what happened." "They walked directly to the house after this," where they killed three other family members, the witness added.'
