 6 days after the 911 attacks George Walker
								Bush authorized a novel range of covert action, including renditions,
								assassinations,
								disinformation
								campaigns and cyber attacks against those identified as
								al-Qa`ida
								associates.
 
 Counter Terrorist Center, relies on its
								Rendition Group to kidnap:
 
 dressed head to toe in
								black, including masks, they
								blindfold and cut the clothes off captives, administer an enema and
								sleeping drugs;
 
 they transport victims to a detention
								facility operated by coconspirators, including
								Afghanistan, or
								one of the CIA'
								covert prisons, a "black site."
 
 Poland feels sting of betrayal over CIA 'black
								site'
 
 After the 911 attacks, the staff of the Counter Terrorist
								Center, directed by J. Cofer Black, went from 300 to 1,200 nearly
								overnight.
 
 J. Cofer Black embraced a "Talmudwood model" in which
								the president kept a
								scorecard of captured and killed terrorists.
 
 Mamdouh Habib, an
								Egyptian-born Australian citizen seized in Pakistan in October 2001 was sent to
								Egypt for 'interrogation' where he was burned by cigarettes, given electric
								shocks and beaten.
 
 Mohamedou Oulad Slahi, a
								Mauritanian and former Canada resident, turned himself in to the Mauritanian
								police 18 days after the 911 attacks as Mohamedou Oulad Slahi heard the
								Americans were looking for him.
 
 Mohamedou Oulad Slahi was spirited to
								Jordan, where he spent eight months undergoing interrogation.
 
 Muhammad
								Saad Iqbal Madni, an Egyptian imprisoned by Indonesia
								authorities in January 2002, is
								flown to Afghanistan for interrogation.
 
 Muhammad Saad Iqbal Madni is
								tortured for 13 months in Afghanistan.
 
 Khaled el-Masri, a German,
								stated:
 
 "I saw seven or eight men with black clothing and wearing
								masks.
 
 They beat me from all sides, from everywhere, with hands and
								feet.
 
 With knives or scissors they cut and tore away my clothes in
								silence.
 
 The beating was
								just to humiliate me, to
								make me silent.
 
 They stripped me naked. I was terrified. They tried to take off my
								pants.
 
 I tried to stop them so they beat me again. I was
								humiliated.
 
 And when I
								was naked I heard a camera."
 
 The first night Khaled el-Masri was
								kicked and beaten and warned:
 
 "You are here in a country where no one
								knows about you, in a country where there is no law. If you die, we will bury
								you, and no one will know."
 
 Khaled el-Masri's passport analysis by
								Office of Technical Services concluded
								the passport was genuine.
 
 The CIA had imprisoned the
								wrong man.
 
 A reverse rendition was suggested.
 
 Return Khaled
								el-Masri to Macedonia and release him.
 
 There would be no trace. No
								airplane tickets. Nothing.
 
 No one would believe him.
 
 The day of
								his release, the prison director who Khaled el-Masri believed was an American,
								told him he "had a suspicious name."
 
 A Macedonia bus driver has
								confirmed that Khaled el-Masri was taken away by
								border guards on the
								date he gave investigators.
 
 A
								forensic analysis of Khaled
								el-Masri's hair showed he was malnourished during the period he says he was in
								the prison.
 
 Flight logs show a plane registered to a CIA front
								incorporation flew out of Macedonia on the day Khaled el-Masri says he was
								flown to Afghanistan.
 
 A Boeing subsidiary,
								Jeppesen Dataplan Inc., provided flight planning and logistical support
								with the full knowledge it was profiting from what one senior corporate
								official openly described as "torture flights."
 
 Khaled el-Masri's
								lawsuit against the
								federal government was first thrown out of court in May 2006 and finally by
								the Supreme Court in October 2007.
 
 Supreme Court justices honor the
								request to dismiss the lawsuit on grounds that
								trying the case
								would reveal secret classified information about actions in the 'war on
								terror' and provide
								material support to the terrorists.
 
 
 "The more I heard about the
								imprisonment of Khaled el-Masri, abducted, tortured and imprisoned for over
								five months by the CIA, the more sick to my stomach I became.
 
 What ever
								happened to justice, honor
								and decency?
 
 If you wonder why people
								hate us, this is it.
 
 The
								George Walker Bush
								administration is refusing to allow justice to take place by hiding behind "
								state
								secrets."
 
 It makes me embarrassed to call myself an American." -
								Cpl. Robert A. Pratt, Marine Corp
 
 
 "It is incredible that
								Khaled el-Masri was kidnaped by US government agents, abused and transported to
								Afghanistan for torture in a secret prison, then dumped on an Albanian hillside
								five months later when agents realized he was not the right person.
 
 This sounds like the
								behavior of Nazi Germany
								or Chile under
								Pinochet.
 
 The US has become a rogue nation, one that believes it
								alone has the right to disregard legal norms and the rights of other nations.
 
 State secrets defense,
								born solely out of the military's desire to cover up its lies and ineptitude in
								the United
								States vs Reynolds case, has been allowed by courts to become
								an easy way for the
								government to avoid accountability." - Alex Murray
 
 "El-Masri's
								ordeal received front-page media coverage throughout the world and has been the
								subject of criminal and intergovernmental investigations in Europe.
 
 His
								allegations are supported by eyewitness testimony and physical
								evidence.
 
 We brought suit against
								CIA Director George Tenet
								seeking compensation for the brutal treatment of El-Masri,
								the Bush administration
								insisted the case be dismissed as any
								litigation of the claims
								would reveal state
								secrets.
 
 That argument prevailed and the
								Supreme Court declined to
								intervene.
 
 As the law stands, the US can engage in torture,
								declare it a state
								secret and, by virtue of that designation alone, avoid any accountability
								for conduct that violates the
								Constitution and universal human rights
								guarantees.
 
 A broad range of
								executive misconduct has
								been shielded from judicial review under this doctrine." - Ben Wizner
 
 
 "Extraordinary rendition is inconsistent with the
								broader foreign policy goal of
								promoting democracy and the
								rule of law -
								foundations of civil society.
 
 These practices brought America universal condemnation and frustrated
								efforts to work in a concerted way with allies in fighting terrorism.
 
 They also yield no good
								intelligence.
 
 By November 2007 over a hundred people had experienced "extraordinary"
								renditions and not a single one has
								been convicted of a crime.
 
 Renditions undermine our commitment to
								fundamental American values.
 
 These fundamental
								American values are what define us a people.
 
 Khaled El-Masri, an
								innocent man, was kidnapped, brought to Afghanistan by the
								CIA, brutally interrogated
								and dumped in the Albanian countryside." - Congressman William
								Delahunt
 
 
 "No good intelligence is going to come from abusive
								practices."- Lt. Gen. John F. Kimmons, Army Deputy Chief of Staff for
								Intelligence
 
 George Tenet, told
								the 911 Commission that even before 911
								the US had abducted more than 70 foreigners it considered terrorists - a
								process
								John Yoo declared legal in a memo.
 
 "I helped run the
								CIA's rendition program. Simply and callously put, covert forces cannot kill
								the number of enemies that require killing. Although the
								covert services can successfully
								eliminate the enemy leaders, its
								foot soldiers and civilian
								supporters are not being wiped out." - Michael F.

   "You can get anyone to confess to anything if the
								  torture is bad enough." - Bob Baer, CIA officerMany torturers
								adopted the posture of a doctor or surgeon and imagine that their
								electroshock and
								other torments are
								therapeutic - that they are administering medicine to their
								prisoners - dirty diseased
								golem.
 
 Captain Ian Fishback, of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division,
								witnessed detainees in Fallouja being tortured.
 
 A sergeant reported to
								Human Rights Watch that "we would give them blows to the head, chest,
								legs and stomach, pull them down and kick dirt on them."
 
 Another
								sergeant witnessed a soldier tell
								a prisoner "to grab a pole and to bend
								over" and then he "broke the guy's leg with a mini Louisville
								Slugger."
 
 All three
								witnessed kicks to
								prisoner' faces, chests and abdomens as well as chemical compounds poured onto
								eyes and skin.
 
 Captain Ian Fishback stated that torture was being meted
								out at the behest of military intelligence to
								soften prisoners up for
								interrogation while Donald
								Henry Rumsfeld was telling the Congressional Armed Services
								Committee that the military was obeying the rules of the Geneva
								Convention.
 
 "I was immediately concerned that the army was
								taking part in a lie to the Congress, which would have been a clear violation
								of the Constitution.
 
 "Enhanced" interrogation technique that violated
								the Geneva Convention
								found their way into army systems.
 
 The problem was systemic, and it was
								widespread." - Captain Ian Fishback
 
 
 
   1996 to
								2001 Parents Television Council estimates, there are 102 torture
								scenes on televison.
 
 2002 to 2005 Parents
								Television Council estimates there are 624 torture scenes on televison;
								torturers are increasingly heroes rather than villains.
 
 The hit Fox
								action drama "24" featured 67 torture scenes in the first 5 seasons most of
								which depict torture being used by "heroic" American counter-terrorist
								agents.
 
 Alberto Gonzales, as attorney general,

 The Torture Memos, 10 Years Later
 
 "I'm at
								a complete loss to see how any
								society that considers itself to be
								evolved and
								civilized can
								entertain the thought of any
								sort of torture of another human being." - Eleanor Jackson
								10/06
 
 2001 George Walker Bush signs a secret
								unnumbered Executive Order
								on September 17, 2001, on the advice of Alberto Gonzales, that authorized the
								use of 'enhanced interrogation techniques'.
 
 Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, an
								alleged high-ranking al-Qa`ida official, is captured in Pakistan and
								interrogated by George Tenet,
								director of the CIA.
 
 Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi is 'water-boarded' then
								forced to remain standing overnight in a
								cold cell, where he was repeatedly soaked with icy water.
 
 Then
								interrogators threatened to kill his family.
 
 Under torture, Ibn
								al-Shaykh al-Libi, 29 , finally breaks.
 
 Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi claimes
								to be a "senior terrorist operative" who was offered
								biological/chemical weapons
								training for al-Qa`ida associates in Iraq.
 
 Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi
								was desperate to stop the water-boarding torture so he imagined
								"information."
 
 A Defense Intelligence Agency memo warned that Ibn
								al-Shaykh al-Libi 's information was "misleading as he may be describing
								scenarios that he knows will retain interrogators interests."
 
 2004 "We have long since made clear that
								a state of war is not a blank
								check for the president when it comes to
								the rights of American
								citizens." - Sandra Day O'Connor, Hamdi vs. Rumsfeld
 
 2008 CIA director
								Michael Hayden, during a Senate intelligence hearing on Feb. 5, 2008,
								admits waterboarding was used in 2002 and 2003.
 
 "It was used on Khalid
								Sheikh Mohammed. It was used on Abu Zubaydah. And it was used on (Abd al-Rahim
								al-) Nashiri." - Michael Hayden
 
 
 
   
 Justice Department releases 2005 legal
								memos that detailed the use of waterboarding in 2002 and 2003.
 
 Waterboarding was used on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 183 times and on
								Zubaydah at least 83 times.
 
 Khalid Shaikh Mohammed claims he gave false
								information to the CIA even after undergoing punishing bouts of enhanced
								interrogations.
 
 "I make up stories." - Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
 
 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed "admitted" to US Navy Commander Alphonso Doss'
								team at Guantanamo
								that he was one of the masterminds behind the Sept. 11,
								2001, terrorist attacks.
 
 
 "The self-incrimination of Khalid Sheik
								Mohammed stands today as the only evidence the US government has that Muslim
								terrorists pulled off 911.
 
 Khalid Sheik Mohammed outwitted all 16 US
								intelligence agencies along with those of all US allies or
								puppets, including
								Mossad.
 
 Khalid Sheik
								Mohammed outwitted the NSC,
								NSA,
								CIA,
								FBI,
								Pentagon,
								State Department,
								NORAD, US Air Force and Air Traffic Control.
 
 Khalid Sheik Mohammed caused Airport Security to fail four times in one
								morning.
 
 Khalid Sheik Mohammed caused the state-of-the-art air defenses
								of the Pentagon to fail, allowing a hijacked airliner, which was off course all
								morning while the US Air Force, for the first time in history, was unable to
								get aloft intercepter aircraft, to crash into the Pentagon.
 
 If Khalid
								Sheik Mohammed has these superhuman capabilities, how
								did the incompetent Americans catch him?
 
 This guy is a patsy tortured
								into confession in order to keep the American naifs believing
								the governments conspiracy theory. What is
								going on here is that the US government has to bring the 911 mystery to an
								end." - Paul Craig Roberts, The Road to Armageddon: The Insane Drive for
								American Hegemony Threatens Life on Earth
 
 Khalid
								Sheik Mohammed is the man found to be officially responsible by the
								US government for the
								planning and execution of 911, not
								Saddam Hussein or
								Usamah bin Mohammad bin
								Laden.
 
 
 
   
 Alphonso Doss is found dead by
								a maid of the Astoria Hotel at 150
								Park Avenue, Orange Park who found the body about 8:45 a.m. Feb. 12, 2014.
 
 Media reports of his death, which appeared two weeks later, suggested
								Alphonso Doss had substance abuse problems.
 
 Six months later Yolinda
								Doss, 44, Anthony Washington, Yolanda's business partner at Elite Distinctions,
								29, and Ronnie Wilson, 33, are indicted and Washington is found guilty of
								first-degree murder
								and sentenced to life in prison.
 
 Wilson plead guilty to being an
								accessory to murder; a four-year sentence.
 
 Prosecutors lacked
								sufficient evidence to convict Yolinda for murder-for-hire.
 She plead
								guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
 
 "I was
								a big supporter of waterboarding. I was a big supporter of the enhanced
								interrogation techniques. I signed off on it; others did, as well." -
								Richard Bruce
								Cheney
 
 Richard Bruce Cheney personally authorized the torture of 33
								suspected terrorist detainees and approved the waterboarding of
								three.
 
 On March 8, 2008, George Walker Bush vetoed
								congressional
								legislation that called for a specific ban on waterboarding and other
								abusive "enhanced" interrogation technique, including
								stripping prisoners naked, subjecting them
								to extreme cold and staging
								mock executions.
 
 "Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed." -
								George W
								Bush
 
 Japanese soldiers were prosecuted for
								the war crime of
								waterboarding American soldiers during World War II.
 
 "Waterboarding as
								been referred to as "simulated drowning."
 
 Since the technique involves
								filling a person's lungs with water, it is plainly no simulation but is in fact
								drowning.
 
 This particular form of torture sometimes results in death,
								and the cause of death is drowning, not simulated drowning.
 
 Victims do not simulate death. They die, pure
								and simple." - James Caufield
 
 "Consistent with previous historical
								prosecution of torture as a war crime, any member of the Bush administration
								who has either participated in or facilitated waterboarding should be
								prosecuted to the full extent of the law." - Stephen Burns
 
 The
								Abu Ghraib prison
								torture scandal sheds light on the common reality of American incarceration.
 
 Abu Ghraib mirrors
								the American prison system -
								underfunded, inadequately supervised, lacking civilian oversight, unaccountable
								and tolerant of inmate abuse.
 
 2009 FOIA request
								reveals at least 92 "enhanced interrogations" had been videotaped.
 
 One
								of the 'enhanced interrogation techniques' is the
								'Palestine hanging'.
 
 The results are nearly the same
								as crucifixion, Jesus' fate.
 
 Another 'enhanced interrogation
								technique' is 'water boarding', used in the
								Spanish Inquistion, were the victim is
								repeatedly dunked under water and his/her lungs are filled with water to the
								point of drowning.
 
 Lawrence Wilkerson, a top aide to former secretary of
								state Colin L. Powell, claimed the office of Dick Cheney, aides of Don Rumsfeld
								and others argued "the president of the United States is all powerful and as
								commander in chief the president of the United States can do anything he damn

 Jose Padilla, an American born

 Jose Padilla, injected with what he identified as
								a PCP/LSD
								cocktail, ends up spending 1,307 days under sensory deprivation
								conditions.
 
 Jose Padilla had no history of
								mental illness
								when ordered detained as a enemy combatant by
								presidential decree.
 
 Jose
								Padilla's lawyers claimed that interrogation methods included the use of
								psychotropic drugs and other
								forms of torture.
 
 Jose Padilla's
								'treatment' has been classified as a state secret.
 
 
 "I can't talk about what happened
								because it is classified." - Jose Padilla
 
 
 Psychological tests
								suggest Jose Padilla suffered brain damage and
								he exhibits symptoms of

								disorder.
 
 "Mr. Padilla shows
								extreme anxiety. He is
								fearful of his time in the brig. Everything that he talks about is with regard
								to the time at the brig, no other time point." - Patricia Zapf,
								psychologist
 
 "People who have known Jose Padilla and loved him before
								his military detention don't feel they can even bear to see him because he is
								so clearly mentally ill."- Stuart Grassian, psychiatrist
 
 The legal
								strategy used was designed to make it possible to
								suspend the Constitutional
								Rights of American citizens by presidential decree.
 
 A precedent was set that future presidents can
								use to suspend the Constitutional Rights of any American citizen.
 
 Three purposeful constitutional violations occurred:
 
 The
								writ of habeas corpus was
								suspended even though America was not being
								invaded nor was a rebellion taking
								place.
 
 Jose was denied a speedy
								trial.
 
 Jose suffered cruel and unusual punishment.
 
 What was
								Jose' crime ?
 
 Jose was
								arrested for 'plotting'
								to detonate a radioactive 'dirty bomb'.
 
 Then Jose 'plotted' to blow
								up apartment complexes with natural gas.
 
 Finally Jose was indicted and
								convicted of conspiracy to 'murder, kidnap and maim' people overseas after a
								confession.
 
 
 "The jury did seem to be an oddly cohesive group. On the

						  which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no
						  church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to
						  develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n and Sustainer
						  through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing
						  the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The
						  tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out
						  in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against
						  individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a
						  "hate ¢rime."
 
 This web site in no way
						  c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence.
						  To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is already
						  occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire
						  to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
						  c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
						  ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
						  global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
						  and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
						  w●rship behavior and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
						  Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
						  bi☣hazards of a gun.
 
 American social mores and values have
						  declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
						  c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
						  in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through
						  c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
						  butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
						  πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media psychological
						  operations. The results have been the destruction of the fami♙y and the
						  destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
						  internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion
						  and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the
						  p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
						  s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
						  further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
