He describes his committee's findings, arguing that not only is torture amoral, but also inefficient and counterproductive. - Foreign Policy Association

Are places like Gitmo an example of human projection by a society?

I submit that Corporations, by virtue of their legal protection scheme, encourage the elimination of compassion on the human level

Thus, a society like America, (which I argue is a socialist country for corporations), is made largely of citizens who daily disconnect themselves from compassion

The net result is a war mongering society that allows torture & violations of human decency!

Has anyone noticed that we haven't heard much from Dick Cheney since Levin spoke out? - Senator Levin's remarks at the Foreign Policy Association 2009 Annual Dinner were a nail in Cheney's coffin.

the enhanced interrogation techniques, with are NOT torture techniques, that were used by the CIA lead us to Usama. If we did not have use these techniques we would not have killed Usama this week.

Thank you Bush and Cheney for seeing the way and for being the leaders that America needs.

great

I'm with you!

I downloaded Butlers work long ago; as well as a man by the name of Col House!

And several of Col. House's books!

Col. House was the lynch pin in the formation of privately owned FED & taxation; as well as responsible for the elections of 4 presidents

Best video on JFK for me was that about Judyth Baker - Oswalds girlfriend. It finally connected the very last dots

@ artofliving

In answer I would suggest you view a short video I made about corporations.

In a nutshell: JFK was murdered by the highly connected. Since then, fascist.

1934 Smedley D. Butler save Roosevelt from takeover by rich industrialists. Read his essay, "I was a Gangster for Capitalism," sometime.

Complete media censorship; nothing w/o WH approval. i.e., search: university of copenhagen, nano-thermite, WTC sometime, too.
