Guantanamo - Guidebook.

How can we ever be the leader of the civilized world when our government acts like the government we sanction for their Human Right Violation.
British Channel 4 engaged the Team Delta Cadre to recreate the Guantanamo Bay interrogation experience.
At the production company’s request, along with Team Delta’s standard interrogation approach, the cadre reenacted several events reported at Guantanamo.

In most cases, these reenacted events were counterproductive to the interrogation plan developed by Team Delta. This plan had learned 80% of the requested intelligence within the first few hours of capture.
Prisoner 73 on his experience:
Total deprivation of sleep, food and water.
Exposure to extreme heat and cold.
Up to 20 minutes in stress positions.
Up to 2 hours listening to white noise…
Plus, any other interrogation technique deemed acceptable by the interrogation team’ By any standards, the waiver I signed for “Guantanamo Guidebook” was unique. Two weeks later, when I was lying naked, shaved, shackled in a ball on the floor, with a hood over my head, listening to white noise with a cold fan at my back, I realized just how simple the term was ‘informed consent’ can be.
"Two weeks earlier I had received an e-mail looking for students who would be willing to participate in a Channel Four documentary investigating US interrogation practices for Terror detainees held in Cuba.
I was to be one of seven male volunteers from various backgrounds – three Muslims: a father of two, a youth worker, and a recent graduate; plus Britain’s fittest Fireman, a triathlete, Britain’s Thai Kickboxing Champion and me, a plucky Oxford undergraduate finalist in philosophy and politics.
The test was to see how we fared in a simulation of up to 60 hours under a team of retired US army interrogators, led by a founding member of Delta Force, who used the techniques officially sanctioned for Guantanamo detainees to extract information about us and make us confess to the scenarios we had acted out with the production company the week before. We were to withhold information and endure."

Desert Flower; FGM-Female Genital Mutilation, Unite for Children

Love hurt three times. Once when you are cut. Once when you marry.  Once when you give birth African Proverb. "Desert Flower"  Below is an eyewitness account of what is done to all Somali girls because men still refuse marriage with an uninfibulated , or " open ," bride. And without marriage, there is no future for a girl:            Instruments used for the FMG "With the Somalis, the circumcision of girls occurs in the home among women's relatives and neighbors. The grandmother or an older woman officiates. On each occasion, usually, only one little girl or, at times, two sisters are infibulated, but all girls, without exception, must undergo this mutilation as it is required for marriage. The operation itself is not accompanied by any ceremony or ritual. The child, completely naked, is made to sit on a low stool. Several women take hold of her and open her legs ...

20st Century ~ Century of Violence.~

In ancient times during war, soldiers fought on the battlefield corp, face-to-face with the enemy. It was brutal, horrific, and bloody.  War was fought over reasons as ancient as man and still true today; Wealth and Power. A politician once said,  "The United States has no friend, only interest."   It is valid for all countries and men. The mass killing also increased with great leaps forward in technology and science. Unless you are Mother Theresa, Man's agenda is always more than just philanthropic.  Genocide: among other things, the killing of people by  a government because of their indelible group membership  (race, ethnicity, religion, language).  Politicide: the murder of any person or people by a  government because of their politics or for political purposes. Mass Murder: the indiscriminate killing of any person or people by  a government. Democide: The murder of any person or people by  a government, including genocide, p...

2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong

 This article should get some of us more rational regarding the big hype about 2012, Planet X, and Doomsday... being reasonable is the hardest thing to do when overcome with extreme feelings of fear, despair, or even rapture. So open your mind to the idea that it could all be a spook, and we will all laugh about it on December 22, 2012. Otherwise, would you want to be the one to clean up the mess that Doomsday will leave behind? Would you want to survive Doomsday? Leave your comment: The Mayans Never Predicted the Doomsday Before continuing, it's worth emphasizing that this mesoamerican calendar (used by several cultures -- including the Maya -- in Central and South America before European colonization) does not predict an apocalypse. It never did, despite what the movie "2012" told us . The Mayan civilization existed from 250-900 A.D. in the current geographical location of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador,  and some of Honduras. Archaeologists...
