Groups Plan Torture Prosecution To Follow Bush Anywhere He Travels
Former U.S. President George W. Bush this week canceled a trip to Switzerland citing security concerns. The cancellation was in response to a preliminary indictment by the U.S.-based Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) in conjunction with a European group based in Berlin, the Center for Constitutional and Human Rights. The two organizations detail in a 42-page document their case that Bush had authorized torture of terrorism suspects while they were in U.S. custody. The indictment is based on criminal complaints brought by two people claiming to be victims of torture. Their complaints which were filed in Geneva, Switzerland, are supported by more than 2,500 pages of supporting evidence. Because Swiss law requires that the accused person has to be present on Swiss soil before opening a preliminary investigation, Bush’s (now canceled) trip for a February 12th speaking event had provided the perfect opportunity. CCR has promised that eventually Bush will travel to a country where he will be prosecuted for authorizing torture. Bush admitted to authorizing waterboarding suspects in his memoir Decision Points. Meanwhile, Bush’s former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who is about to release his own memoir called Known and Unknown, has warned that the prosecution attempts against Bush are mis-guided. Rumsfeld himself is the target of an ACLU lawsuit on behalf of former Iraqi and Afghan prisoners who were abused in prison. Like Bush, Rumsfeld enjoys immunity from such suits in the U.S. And, both Rumsfeld and Bush remain defiantly confident that they made the right decisions.

Hello, I want to alert those that are not aware that not ONLY is the US gov’t a hypocrite when it states that it supports democratic ideals in OTHER countries, as black people, we should know 1st hand that IN THIS country, it has continually and systemically failed to support it and has more often than not, conversely BLOCKED true democracy–so let me alert you to a not-so-new phenomena that I’m an unfortunate newer victim of—organized gangstalking & remote neural monitoring–both part of a on-going and what I and others believe is a recent ramp up of what amounts to crimes against humanity—secret and wholly INVOLUNTARY mind control pogrom. Now I know secret mind control pogroms may sound like science fiction to most but if you research, the govt’s Mk-Ultra program has been in existence since at least the 70’s and perhaps prior to that. Bad publicity (like Co-intelpro’s) forced the govt to publicly disavow the pogrom, but we ALL know that just means it went even further underground. So what do I mean when I say “mind control”? I mean to proclaim ( and I know this will lead a lot of people to think me mentally ill, but believe me, it’s truth), that the US gov’t and other gov’ts as well have in their possession technology that can read “sub-vocalized thoughts”–in short, you know when you are talking to yourself and not out loud? well those thoughts can be translated and “read” via technology. Yes, I know it sounds like I’ve been watching too many sci-fi movies, but believe me it’s real and if you seek out the info online, you will come across many people JUST like me who have never met, have no connection to one another besides the fact that we have been randomly targeted for what amounts to nazi-like involuntary human experimentation BY the gov’t JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. I am no terrorist, political activist nor threat to the national security of the US, yet I Am an average poor,
black woman, and this, as we know historically, is one of the favorite demographics that the US loves to experiment on and oppress in any way they can. Now, I’m not saying they are only using minorities as guinea pigs in the name of “amoral” scientific uses; but again, historically black and poor communities get the brunt of anything diabolical the US gov’t happens to have up it’s duplicitous sleeve–can you say Tuskegee? (it seems other favorite targets for this program seem to be homeless, gays & lesbians, jews, among others, but if you don’t belong to any of aforementioned groups, don’t despair, b/c I believe those currently being targeted are just the beginning–eventually I believe the plan is to unleash this technology on the entire population). This is a historical and factual truth. If you want to educate yourselves on this phenomenon, pls google the terms: organized gangstalking & remote neural monitoring and also pls visit a site dedicated
to targeted individuals, such as: http://www.areyoutargeted.com , they will give further credence to my assertions. Again, this phenemona is not new, yet it seems it has been expanded imo since the Patriot Act has given the gov’t vast leeway in whom it targets basically for what amounts to systemic torture: 24/7 surveillance, harrassment, voice to skull electronic transmissions, directed energy attacks, stalking where ever the targeted individual goes, etc. Again, it sounds like science fiction but it’s real and it’s the biggest human rights abuse story that’s yet to be told. I’m telling my story b/c I have nothing to lose and I refuse to suffer in silence, but again, there are many, many more like me, and the only way I know how to fight is to tell my story and to sound the alarm, particularly in the black community that this is going on and YOU could be next. Not b/c of anything you do, but b/c the US Gov’t has become so contemptuous of humanity and it’s “stated” goals, that anything goes—if it’s possible that it can lead to a firmer grip on power at any cost or if the possibility of making money is there—the gov’t will DO anything to not only foreign populations (Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, etc, etc, etc) but again, as history has CLEARLY shown—it won’t hestitate to act in kind against it’s own citizens.
