US WANTS TO TORTURE

Topic: TORTURE
GOOD QUESTION is right here--> HERE
(This was made by writing down all the dead US American Soldiers names into the picture to make up the word. I bet my cousins name is included) It sure is a good question...that deserves an answer that actually carries weight ...not WMD or Freedom on the March, etc..,

OK so I read this
"Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are expected to decide whether to ban torture against all prisoners held by the United States, to merely ban torture for some of those prisoners, or to reject outright any attempt to legislate a new ban on torture. The White House and the CIA are lobbying to exempt detainees held by the CIA from an amendment-- sponsored by John McCain and endorsed by nearly all senators--that would ban "cruel, inhuman and degrading" treatment for all detainees held by the United States."
And I thinking, since when did it become OK to torture anyone? For Gods sake what is this horse shit?
Is their actually intelligent people discussing this? I mean what is there to discuss?

This Joe wants no part of this physco sick torture crap Bush and Co want to do!
Using the CIA, Contractors, or Whomever.
Revised Amendments, Secret Discussions,
This is Bullsh*t!

Are they out of their minds?
They are trying to be allowed to do this spin where they can still torture by using the CIA. Then the White House will say to the masses on the 5:00 o'clock news "We don't do torture"
HUH?
.. Ha LISTEN....! can ya hear that in the way off distance..?

I hear the War Crimes Trumpets playing Taps!


****

The real crime according to Rumsfield are not the actual proven abuses but that: "People are running around with digital cameras and taking these unbelievable photographs and then passing them off, against the law, to the media."

This Altnet article click --> HERE is quoting Bush, immediately after the president's 8:30p.m. TV address to the nation on 9-11, when he met with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield and Clarke in a bunker under the East Wing of the White House. In his book, Against All Enemies, Clarke describes the president as "confident, determined, and forceful"
King George says (quote) '"I want you all to understand that we are at war...any barriers in your way, they're gone. Any money you need, you have it...I don't care what the international lawyers say, we are going to kick some ass.(end quote)
The New York Times reported that the CIA methods are so severe that FBI agents are instructed to absent themselves from such interrogations so as not to be implicated. One official said he was told that President Bush didn't?t want to know where the CIA held its captives.


Ya know I end this post with this last comment:
Does it end here?
Just how much will change? An indication may be who was put in charge of the Iraq prison system when Gen Karpinski was "retired": the same Gen. Miller from Guant?namo whose visit last fall introduced the changes that led to prisoner abuse and torture. The change may simply be to tighten the lid against leaks, prosecute the "bad apples" to make the story go away, and let Rumsfield return to doing Bush's notion of a "superb job".

Well Zebra 3 Readers, that about sums it up for the US Governments shitty attitude on this subject.

They are going to prosecute the bad apples that are leaking the information that proves following sentence "THE USA DOES USE TORTURE"
No matter what spinning-lies the Bush Company will tell you in the Media, read between the lies and call the kettle "black!"
More to come on this nasty subject...I have Ben Waiting

SonyBMG Computer Program Hides Deep & Lurks
Mood:  surprised
Now Playing: SonyBMG installs Rootkit without telling you
Topic: TECHNOLOGY
What is this I'm reading?

What may seem to be computer geeky talk about software issues, that is only one aspect. But the concept of what is happening in this aspect, which could get a average joe anybodys computer self installing programs without any acknowledgment of the user. All this is from software being installed by Sony surreptitiously when an unknowing customer is installing the music BMG player ...that if you latter, even find it on your hard drive, you cant remove it very easy if at all!
It is called a ROOTKITS

The link if you skim along and not try to understand the tecchno talk will more than explain what all is going on here and a forum that follows discusses a lot more than,the average joe, will be understanding.

Just skip the techno babble stuff about roots and registries ,,,,BUT follow along as the concept and the hiding of this software is explained and proved by the author as he discovers this bullcrap.
Yes reader, one will see this is simply deplorable and a big . SHAME on SONY for trying this!!!!!

It is suppose to hide deep in your computer and look for illegal pirated copies or illegal use?
SonyBMG and First4Internet are in the doghouse now, having been caught installing rootkit-like software on the computers of SonyBMG music customers, thereby exposing the customers to security risk.

As I copy/paste a comment from this website author
here--> The entire experience was frustrating and irritating. Not only had Sony put software on my system that uses techniques commonly used by malware to mask its presence, the software is poorly written and provides no means for uninstall. Worse, most users that stumble across the cloaked files with a RKR scan will cripple their computer if they attempt the obvious step of deleting the cloaked files.

While I believe in the media industry?s right to use copy protection mechanisms to prevent illegal copying, I don?t think that we?ve found the right balance of fair use and copy protection, yet. This is a clear case of Sony taking DRM too far.

But here is a site where the author suggest ways to address this issue click-->HERE

And since his original post which as he says (quote)...My posting Monday on Sony?s use of a rootkit as part of their Digital Rights Management (DRM) generated an outcry that?s reached the mainstream media. As of this morning the story is being covered in newspapers and media sites around the world including USA Today and the BBC. This is the case of the blogosphere having an impact, at least for the moment. But, there?s more to the story, like how Sony?s patch can lead to a crashed system and data loss and how Sony is still making users jump through hoops to get an uninstaller.

At the core of this story, however, is the issue of what disclosure should be required of software End User License Agreements (EULAs) and how the requirements can be made Federal law.
Thats what joe and Ben are waiting for = Justice & Honesty from the bastards!

Despite a chorus of criticism over Sony not delivering an uninstaller with their DRM software, Sony refuses to admit blame and to make an uninstaller readily available...

HERE
is the link he is referring to about the
Sony un-Install-Lack-thereof


The Sony jerks are acting just like todays Republican National Security are new secret government Leaders do!

Joe wonders if music pirates are going to be called Terrorists next?

"WELL-DESERVED PROTEST"
Click HERE
for picture from the streets of Mar Del Plat which were posted on the
Indy Media In Argentina!

!WOW! * GO * PROTESTORS!


MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina Nov 4, 2005 — A crowd of 10,000 people chanting "Get out Bush!" & Chanting "Fascist Bush! You are the terrorist!" Swarmed the streets of this Argentine resort Friday, hours before the hemisphere's leaders sat down to debate free trade, immigration and job creation at the fourth Summit of the Americas.

Bush was meeting with Argentine President Nestor Kirchner as well as Central American leaders Friday before joining the 34-nation summit and promoting the Free Trade Area of the Americas. The deal proposed by Washington would break down trade barriers from Alaska to the tip of South America.

Click HERE to read more about in what Washington maintains is the proposed free trade accord, which seemed to have stalled amid opposition by several Latin American countries, is vital to creating jobs and increasing wealth in the region. Yet if this is such a good idea ...How come so many are protesting it hmmmmmmm?
em>Ha! Oh well lookie here! The leaders attending the two-day summit agreed ahead of time to focus on creating jobs and reducing poverty, read the organizations link
HERE
But that is not what the laborers and poor and social activists are saying! Far cry from the Corporate WTO claims that they want to help the poor and the labor movement.

In recent days, however, attention has shifted to the free trade issue and sparring between the United States and Chavez, a leftist whose government has used his country's vast oil wealth on social programs for the poor. I like that idea!

I found this HERE on CNN web site


Planning to join in the protests is 45-year-old Argentine soccer idol Diego Maradona.Maradona, a friend of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, said he would take part in a "protest train" that will carry an unspecified number of demonstrators later this week from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata.

"We're going to repudiate the arrival of Bush in Argentina," Maradona said in an Argentine television interview Sunday.
Of Bush, he said his policies have only led to war and bloodshed, adding "it seems brutal to me what he's done with Afghanistan, Iraq."

YES Maradona! just about every Joe Anybody I know says the same thing, !

Labor activist Juan Gonzalez, one of the organizers of the People's Summit, said the protests will condemn policies that promote globalization as a way to reduce poverty and create jobs but it has only hurt the marginalized and worsened conditions for the poor.
"We personify in Bush ... everything that we don't want," Gonzalez said, adding that he thinks free markets and more private investors will not help create new jobs in Latin America. Maradona, a friend of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, said he would take part in a "protest train" that will carry an unspecified number of demonstrators later this week from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata.

Get back to Crawford they dont want you in Argentina either!

Can Radiation from my Cell Phone Burn a Hole in My Head
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Are Cell Phones Safe To Use?
Topic: ANYBODY * ANYDAY
CNET Web poster Adbates, who’s comment, seemed to me, the most informative, concerning the whole wide mix of variables on this subject, of cell phone raation. His informative comment is HERE

He says that when compared to other types of risks we take …the cell phone really isn’t too dangerous. For example he makes the point “If there were a significant increased health effect from cell phone radiation, there would not be conflicting reports from studies trying to detect an effect, since people for years have been exposed to all sorts of radiation in the wavelength ranges involved with cell phones.”

He also mentions that he personally thinks, “By exercising and eating foods that help your body counteract the effects of free radicals, you can more than wipe out any risks of cell phone radiation, and likely a few other better known actual health risks too.”

Ha! Now I like this concept posted on the CNET forum by “griffin6002”
(quote)“Your cell phone, for all practical purposes, is safe. Considering it could summon emergency help or prevent you from being mugged or raped, the benefits far outweigh the negatives.”(end-quote)

HA HA it is even a better... one post by “jahan” who says candidly (quote) ”Personally, I'm not worried about the effects of mobile radiation. If cigarettes and alcohol don't kill me, what will a little mobile phone radiation be able to do?” (end-quote)

Woops! Its not all one sided
Here is what a "degreed RF/Microwave Engineer" said “I have been working in the cellular communications field for 21 years. There are plenty of worldwide studies showing that cellular phone radiation is damaging/harmful to animals and humans. All you have to do is Google keywords like "cell phone, radiation effects, blood-brain barrier, long-term effects, mobile phone radiation," ...whooooa!?

Now if you’re interested you may want to check this CNET link titled Cell Phone Radation
It has lots of information so if you are going to research this subject include this CNET site its worth a look-see

Hey! Likefor example: What are the top 10 worst cell phones for Radiation and many other informative charts and links.
(Which by the way Motorola wins with the most on Top 10 worst phones)

But hey! WHAT DOES THIS SAY? My cell the Z500a Sony Ericsson is a whooping 1.47 SAR level and that is getting very close to the worst…maybe I am concerned afterall hmmmmmmmm?

Naaa!

Laura Bush Greeted by Protesting Students
Mood:  party time!
Now Playing: 200 Hundred - STAND UP TO THE EVIL DOERS
Topic: PROTEST!
The following is a copy/paste from "The Hilltop" website by Zebra 3 Report

What started as a demonstration of 50 students standing around the flagpole in the bitter coldness of the fall ended with a protest lasting five hours and more than 200 hundred students demanding First Lady Laura Bush to leave the DC Howard University.

"How do you use our facilities and not invite us," asked April Jones, a senior communications major. "We are protesting that and the Bush Administration."

Hassan Minor, senior vice president of the university and the person responsible for the event, told the gathered group that one of the reasons why they were not included in the conference was spacing purposes.
Minor also said that the reasoning behind the closures and the rerouting of students was caused by the secret service's need to protect the First Lady.

Even with the arrival of Howard University President H. Patrick Swygert, students still refused to leave. Swygert pleaded with the group to follow him to the flag pole, where security officials said students were allowed to protest. Swygert began walking into the midst of students, telling them to follow him.

At one point, Swygert stopped in front of a student and said follow me.

"These people who would put you in harm's are not looking out for your interests," Swygert said, clutching the student's arm.

The student, who wished to not be identified, stood firm and began to cry. "He doesn't know me," she said. "He doesn't know what I've been through or what my family has been through. He doesn't know why I have to stand here."

Standing on the front lines of the protest, Howard alum and graduate student Amanda Lewis said she was there because of her father who is in the military.


Swygert said that he is proud of the way the students exercised their first amendment rights.
"This is a teaching moment for all of us," he said. "I hope we come out of this a stronger University."

Hey just about any Joe Anybody can stand up and be counted and I admire this group of students who did just that!....and even Swygert deserves some credit. Hey! "NO POLICE VIOLENCE" either...WOW!!

GO TEAM! - STOP THE NEOCON MACHINE!

Topic: WAR



Pearl Harbor!December 8 1941 (the day after attack)
F. D. Rosenvelt declares WAR on Japan
Zebra 3 Reports brings you these ringtones:
FDR State of War

CBS Interupton 12*7*1941

Now the "twist" comes in as "EVIDENCE" is proving that FDR did let this happen so he could take us into War with Japan!


....hmmmm !? sounds familiar Huh?
quoting Rosenvelt: "Sooner or later the Japanese will commit an overt act against the United States and the nation will be willing to enter the war."

Oh really Mr Spin? We have heard that recently through the years ...thats for sure!

Like in today's news just yesterday, we are hearing that in the records and history of Vietnam there is new information that shows America was lied to concerning intelligence information and the mistake which was covered up, caused the War to continue and has been hidden to this day. HUH???? hmmmmmmm!

This new accusation found --> HERE As described in this quote from that web page:
"The National Security Agency has been blocking the release of an article by one of its historians that says intelligence officers falsified documents about a disputed attack that was used to escalate the Vietnam War, according to a researcher who has requested the article.
(Can you believe those sneaky guys with-holding stuff like that from Joe Anybody or John Q Public?)
Shame!

Matthew Aid, who asked for the article under the Freedom of Information Act last year, said it appears that officers at the NSA made honest mistakes in translating interceptions involving the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident. That was a reported North Vietnamese attack on American destroyers that helped lead to President Johnson's escalation of U.S. involvement in Vietnam

Rather than correct the mistakes, the 2001 article in the NSA's classified Cryptologic Quarterly says, midlevel officials decided to falsify documents to cover up the errors, according to Aid, who is working on a history of the agency and has talked to a number of current and former government officials about this chapter of American history."

Then the Lies about 911 and who really done it and why?
See --> HERE for manu un-answered questions about 911 and why our Government wont invistigate them
but instead we attack Afghanistan over lies, hype, and fear!

Now in the past couple years we have More Lies with the WMD and the secret War Bush has engaged us in Iraq. This whole war in Iraq is full of bad information, cover-ups, Violations of Human Rights, prisoneer abuses and it is all part of their greedy, fascist, Neocon infested plot!

There are DETAILS HERE And they them selves mention in their Neocon "White Papers" the concept that America needs a "New Pearl Harbor" to help perpetuate their Global Dominance agenda!
As spelled out clearly in
this link --> HERE
which I share below (copy/pasted)
"Bush released on September 20th 2001 the "National Security Strategy of the
United States of America." It is an ideological match to PNAC's "Rebuilding
America's Defenses" report issued a year earlier. In many places, it uses
exactly the same language to describe America's new place in the world."


More and more mis-information all which seems is following the trend of leaders through the years that manipulate and deceive their fellow country men, with life taking bloody lies and human sacrifices paid with our loved ones.

As historians and , activists, and patriots keep the fire burning. Someone is bound to see the Light.
