New Interrogation Details Emerge as Administration Releases Justice Department Memos:

(Carrie Johnson, Julie Tate – Washington Post) Justice Department documents released yesterday offer the fullest account to date of Bush administration interrogation tactics, including previously unacknowledged strategies of slamming a prisoner into a wall and placing an insect near a detainee terrified of bugs.

Authorities said they will not prosecute CIA officers who used harsh interrogation techniques with the department’s legal blessing. But in a carefully worded statement, they left open the possibility that operatives and higher-level administration officials could face jeopardy if they ventured beyond the boundaries drawn by the Bush lawyers.

My Commentary: I am absolutely DISGUSTED by Obama’s proclamation that “YES, WE CAN” protect TORTURERS from criminal PROSECUTION! Regardless of his apologist claims, to put war criminals on trial for the horrors they have engaged in has NOTHING to do with “RETRIBUTION” and EVERYTHING to do with JUSTICE!!! “Nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past,” Obama claims? How about the fact that it would help put an end to the egregious human rights abuses that are STILL CURRENTLY BEING COMMITTED by the American government as a matter POLICY in the name of the “War on Terrorism,” with full “legal” authorization!?

Would it surprise you to know that, apparently, the First Amendment is reserved ONLY for those citizens that choose NOT to criticize the American Police State? If your answer is “yes,” then you obviously haven’t been paying attention!

Keith M.: “Everything Else Is Damned Let Them With Ears Understand!” Why Do We Keep Putting Faith in Man?! Why Why Why?

Rayn: Because people have been conditioned to believe that it is in their best interest to submit themselves to a vampire system that seeks to suck their blood!

Police Serve the State, Not the Tax-Payers

Why Fearing the Police Is Not Irrational:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/cohoon1.html

(Brian CohoonLewRockwell.com) – There was a day in America when we, the people, had great respect for the police. When they would ask you how you are doing, they sincerely wanted to know because they cared. That day has passed with barely a whisper or complaint. Today when a cop (they prefer to be called Police Officers, as they feel “cop” is somewhat derogatory) asks you how you are, they are not doing it because they care but rather to set you at ease so you feel that their follow-up questions are friendly and benign. Since for most of us, our likely contact with the police is during a traffic stop (this is actually an arrest. If you do not believe this, try and leave the scene of the top, or not stop in the first place), and the follow-up questions inevitably will be:

  1. Where are you coming from (sic)?
  2. Where are you going?
  3. What are you doing?
  4. Do you have anything illegal in your possession?

My Commentary: It is the job of cops to intimidate you into incriminating yourself. So long as they can pretend a crime was committed, they are ensuring their own future job security. It is a glaring conflict of interest! And, they love to nab people for victim-free “offenses.” This type of busy-work keeps them from having to deal with real criminals, and situations that could potentially put their lives in real danger. Remember, the Prison Industrial Complex is mostly privatized now. Convicts in private prisons can be put to work for 25 cents an hour or less. So, it makes sense to fill jails with productive, functional citizens, rather than dysfunctional, violent offenders. They make much better SLAVE LABORERS! Research it! The same companies who own prisons lobbied for (and won) mandatory drug sentencing, and the “three-strikes” rule. No one should be accountable for failing to follow man-made laws! They are so unfair that they aren’t even clearly posted, and require no victim in order to be broken! The whole thing is a RACKET!

Discussing the Desire to Rise Against the Tyranny of the American Police State

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Rise Against the Tyranny of the American Police State!“…

Rayn: I am sickened by the AMERICAN POLICE STATE. When will we RISE AGAINST the TYRANNY of EVIL, LYING, ABUSIVE, POWER-HUNGRY, JUSTICE-PERVERTING COPS? These COWARDLY, MURDEROUS, HIRED THUGS bring SHAME to what should be an HONORABLE PROFESSION! They are TOO WEAK-WILLED and MORALLY-COMPROMISED to “SERVE & PROTECT” the PEOPLE. The “PEACE OFFICER” has morphed into the “LAW ENFORCEMENT” CHARLATAN, who believes he is a JUDGE!

We must expose these cowardly frauds to full public scrutiny, or they will continue to commit human rights violations under the guise of “fighting crime.”

Keith: Make a Website about them! And give all the pig’s Rabies!!!!

Rayn: Euthanization would be much more effective long term solution, but I digress. I’m way ahead of you on the website concept. I’m already in the process of compiling data and evidence. There is NO VALOR or HONOR in these COWARDS, THIEVES and FREEDOM-HATERS. Their MAN-MADE RULES and REGULATIONS have BETRAYED us!

Sara: Welcome back to Essex County, where a PIG can be a PIG.

Rayn: Yes. These filthy swine pollute the streets of America with the corruption of their lies, prejudice, brutality, and injustice.

Keith M.: Still Sickened By This!
