And did they then introduce you to an alien called Elvis.....

and did the alien then offer to impregnate you? Ho hum-- did you guys get the copy from the National Enquirer?

Look there is real massive abuse of power and torture going on in Guantanamo Bay
There is a police state well on the march.
Thousands of people (usually with dark rather than red hair) are imprisoned without trial, and subjected to deprivations for which, were they American citizens, they would be able to effect the imprisonment of their jailors.

This is not even counting the large share of America's darker skinned youth that are incarcerated for petty crime of one kind of another.

Destroy the American gulag
Close the American concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay
Let George Bush go home knowing how much he and his regime are hated

Survivors are usually released as "examples" to others....

Basic elements of torture abound in the state institutions.

Lack of free press allows experiences such
as this to happen, rendering the victims a refugee status
in their own country.

We very much need to begin a global discourse on the
humanities needed for enduring peace and prosperity.


This clearly fits with the torture profile built by Mr. Bush in
his efforts to conquer an oil rich country, and his lack
of effort in defending America by pursuing the rogue
group. Shame, shame.

We Need to Throw Light on the Methods....

20.06.2005 23:53

It could be that we have gone far past the time to study and undo the methodologies of
torture.

However, with the exchange of information, we can highlight those hotspots. We need desparately to welcome the Geneva Convention into all instituitons.

Basic elements of torture abound in our society. We must recognize them and eliminate them.

Good for you, you managed to escape the game, Jeanne! It sounds as though you have stepped on their toes, and that they owe you an apology.

Need for Free Press is Urgent in both Peace Time and War Time Economies

Simply, the basic elements of torture should be learned and recognized. The Genevea
efforts against torture, and their associated published works show many elements or basic
elements of torture which may be found in institutions, exist simply as intiquities.

The time for reform and greater humanity exists now. Complete abolition of torture and
all accompanying elements must be realized.

Enforced standardized curriculum in schools must be replaced by success of each
individual, and medicine must always be by private choice.

Most important, the hidden agenda of past "leaders", who now publish a social plan that
will eliminate family and charge the state with raising children must be in print.

Labor agendas can only be made more humane by definition of each individual work environment field specific, charging management with success of each individuals skills, and at the same time deferring all tedium, physical stress, etc., by complete transfromation
of the same, through choice and daily activities for error, etc. The equation that:

The Quality of Livilihoods = The Quality of Service or Product

must be used. The effort to increase production must never be at the expense of employee.


Science must be honored and we must create environs where leaders are charged with this
task.

Leaders must not be allowed to vest in resources such as gas or oil. There must be no
exceptions. Leaders must be brought on so that they may act on our part, and not the
part of their future investment.

The press today is false and does not address the realities of the world.

Many institutions are rank with the basic elements of torture.

We must talk amongst ourselves. We must demand reform and abolition. Always we must seek the high ground of a free press.

Science and common sense provide us with the solutions, and it is the battle now to achieve press and awareness.

Abuse and Torture Actions More Common than Stated in America

21.11.2005 23:00

It is a sad fact, that the elements of torture, as referred to above,
exist and grow in this nation. Lack of reforms needed badly in
both eduction and health lead to stagnate practices.

Control is now being soght by "police" or "corrections". That, of
course, is an abuse.

We do need to address the elements of torture and abuse as they
exist here in America, first, before we implement any large effort, or
along with any large effort, to eliminate them in other countries.

In order to eliminate them in our country, we must first identify them.

Many of the people now leading do not have a clue as to what the
elements of abuse or torture might be.

Ms. Clinton refuses to even acknowledge the Geneva Convention.

Unfortunately, these people are more the miscreants, those who have
not experienced either the good life in their family or private lives, and
bring nothing by the bad experiences. Building upon bad experiences
will not create good futures.

We need to bring to light and to the American people the publications,
particurly those of Ms. Clinton, which support the methods and social
programs of torture. I think that then we could begin to move ahead.
