Domestic Arm of
Preemption: All
Confidential
Records Data-mined
“Journalist alias
Solomon notes that, with this type of
government in place, the Bush
administration ‘has fashioned
a domestic arm of its new doctrine of
preemption.’ Now, all
previously confidential records will
be searched, cross-indexed, and fully
‘data-mined’ (presumably
using the technology from the
‘cancelled’ programs) for
any information the government sees
fit, with no one overseeing abuses or
mistakes.” – Green, 185.
Phoenix Tortures:
Osborn
Reports Not One VC
Suspect
Survived in
Eighteen Month Stint
Phoenix used torture.
K. Barton Osborn, a Military
Intelligence veteran who worked with
the CIA’s Phoenix program in
1967-68, described various tortures
used from driving a 6-inch dowel into
the ear canal and into the brain
until the person died, starving to
death, and using electronic gear
attached to genitalia to shock the
people into submission. “During
his eighteen months with the Phoenix
program, not a single VC suspect
had survived CIA interrogation.”
–Iraq and the Lessons of
Vietnam, 242,243.
“By 1972 the
Phoenix total for enemy
‘neutralization’ had risen
to 81,740 Vietcong eliminated and
26,369 prisoners killed.” –Iraq
and Lessons of Vietnam, 243.
Truncheon and Electric
Shock
Interrogation
Widespread
In 1968, “two
CORDS evaluators, John G. Lybrand and
L. Craig Johnstone, conducted an
official review of the program in II
Corps (Central Vietnam), finding that
‘the truncheon and electric
shock method of interrogation were in
widespread use, with almost all
[U.S.] advisers admitting to have
witnessed instances of the use of
these methods.’” – Iraq
and the Lessons of Vietnam, 243.
It was just like the
Gestapo and SS. Of course, massive
numbers of Nazi intelligence –
the entire Gehlen Org – were
brought intact and wholesale into
the CIA at the close of World War II.
Hypothermia,
Aircraft Ejection,
Water, Shock
Hypothermia was used.
People were thrown out of aircraft to
their deaths. –Lessons, 244.
CIA regional chief,
Orrin DeForest found the Phoenix
provincial interrogation centers
“sites of the worst tortures
– in particular the water
treatment, where they forced water
down prisoners’ throats until
their stomachs swelled up, or the
torture in which they applied
electric shock to their genitals and
nipples.’ [Orrin DeForest and
David Chanoff, Slow Burn: The Rise
and Bitter Fall of American
Intelligence in Vietnam (New
York: Simon & Schuster, 1990) pp.
p4-57.” –Lessons from
Vietnam, 241.]
Revival of Inquisition
Don’t ever let
anyone tell you that America has not
used torture before. It was used
massively in Phoenix in Vietnam. The
water torture is right out of the
Roman Catholic Inquisition. Of
course, the Knights of Malta were
running the CIA. William Colby,
Director of the CIA, was a Knight of
Malta. It is the revival of the Roam
Catholic Inquisition.
The Rationale for
Phoenix
Protecting the People From
Terrorism
In October, 1969, the
Saigon government launched “the
Phoenix Public Information
program’ in an attempt to
‘surface Phoenix publicly, under
the rationale of protecting the
people from terrorism.’ [Central
Intelligence Agency, Internal
Security in South Vietnam –
Phoenix, December 12, 1970.]”
–Lessons, 240.
Negroponte served in
Iraq from June 2004 to February 17,
2005 when he was nominated as first
Director of National Intelligence.
With a history of years of developing
death squads in Salvador and Iraq,
what does that mean? By May 2005,
Negroponte was back in the U.S.
By 2005, the big
picture reality in Iraq was that it
had become ‘the global epicenter
of privatized warfare with scores of
heavily armed groups of various
loyalties and agendas roaming
Iraq.” –Blackwater, 289.
Iron Fetters Forged on
America
The iron fetters are
being forged on America. When it
comes home to roost, with all the
lessons learned, it will mean, as
Naomi Klein, author of No Logo wrote,
‘the death throes of U.S.
democracy.” (Back cover of Blackwater.)
There is one basic
conclusion. Rome, the Knights of
Malta, and the Jesuits are taking
control of the nation. Every base is
being covered. Rome is even
developing its mercenary military arm
for enforcement.
