Video: Torture Inc. Americas Brutal Prisons

Savaged by dogs, Electrocuted With Cattle Prods, Burned By Toxic Chemicals, Does such barbaric abuse inside U.S. jails explain the horrors that were committed in Iraq? They are just some of the victims of wholesale torture taking place inside the U.S. prison system that we uncovered during a four-month investigation for BBC Channel 4 . It’s terrible to watch some of the videos and realise that you’re not only seeing torture in action but, in the most extreme cases, you are witnessing young men dying. Transcript: By... Read article

We’re on Bush’s hit list now

“But how will that help America?” It won’t My friend the election fraud expert was on a roll again. “Contrary to popular belief, voting machine manufacturers do NOT make tons of money selling their products,” he told me. “Voting machines are only used once a year and they last forever. There is no planned obsolescence. It is not an expanding market. There are 3351 counties in the US and each county only needs a few machines per precinct. The market is quickly saturated. Sequoia wants to... Read article

Chronic Right Wing Hypocrisy

Reading this article about Mexicans killed in Bush’s war on Iraq got me thinking. Right wingers are the loudest, most obnoxious cheerleaders for destruction, killing and war while at the same time, they sanctimoniously present themselves as the holier-than-thou guardians of human life. They’ll have a collective fit over the life of a woman at the center of a private matter but have absolutely zero interest in the thousands of Iraqi lives lost and damaged in the war they love so much. Clearly, the life of a single... Read article

Who Owns You?

Looking at the back of my Social Security card it says that the card is the property of the Social Security Administration. But what about the number itself? Do I own it? Does the government? Do we have a kind of joint custody? Who owns my Social Security Number? I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer. One thing I’m reasonably certain of is that information brokers such as ChoicePoint DO NOT own my Social Security number. Yet they somehow have the right to collect that number, sell it and profit from... Read article

Invasion of the White Right Wing Bloggers

Professor Juan Cole seems to think there are too many white right wing bloggers and worries that their current dominance (in terms of site popularity) is a threat to “traditional media” and a “balanced view of the world.” He comments on a Newsweek article about the lack of diversity among the blogs with the highest traffic. Prof Cole:”Steven Levy at Newsweek asks why blogging is dominated by white males, and what the implications of this configuration are if blogging replaces traditional media.” First,... Read article

Brainwashing Teenagers Is Easy

Just say “Jordan, your life is in danger.” I know a 15-year-old boy named “Jordan”. He was just your normal American teenage kid but his parents didn’t realize that his behavior was well within the range of normal — and they hounded him until he ran off. But when, desperate and cold, he went back to his home and really really tried to live up to his parents’ expectations of 24/7 perfection, they had him kidnapped in the middle of the night and dragged off to a “behavior modification”... Read article

Name the world’s most ineffectual spy: Austin Powers?

Nope. Israel’s Mossad! What “black-ops” operation is the most dangerous one in the world to say bad things about? The CIA? The KGB? Britain’s MI-6 gang? James Bond? Austin Powers? The Mafia? Nope. The one secret black-ops undercover organization that I would most hesitate to take on is Israel’s dread Mossad. I would have to be crazy to say something bad about them! Okay. Here goes. Mossad guys, you suck eggs. If you’re so hot, Mossad, why didn’t you detect massive preparations for... Read article
