POPSTorture Inc. - America's Brutal Prisons Go to the site for the video. It's frightening to think this is going on in America. Check out the comments there too. There are lots of links and more info. It can be done, to clean up the corruption though. Hats off to James McDonough, who cleaned up the corruption at Florida's Department of Corrections. :) Drunken Orgies Tainted System

POPSDid 9/11 Alter the Content of Our Dreams? Did 9/11 alter our dreams? IMO yes. The U.S government milked the event for all it was worth and used it to turn our dreams into nightmares. ...Except for the military industrial complex. For them, it was a dream come true. Their bottom lines have never been better. How about yours? The Iraq war alone, costs the average American family appr. $275 a month. What exactly are you getting for that money? Hello homeland security. Goodbye liberty Hello preemptive lie-based occupations. Goodbye morality and decency. Hello surveillance. Goodbye privacy. Hello Gitmo Goodbye justice Hello torture Goodbye human rights Hello rendition Goodbye habeus corpus... Hello??

POPSU.S. Iraq Vet Speaks Against Iraq Occupation "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." So, I'm asking... What can we do to end the wars? It's not just Iraq and Afghanistan who are paying the price for the arrogance of an Empire. We also, are the ones who pay, the ones who die, the ones who suffer. We are the ones losing liberty and money. Our children grow poorer, while the Halliburtons of the world, grow richer and fatter. Is this your idea of freedom? Of security? Of justice and honour and liberty? I know for sure, it's not mine. They can't wage their wars without us. A trickle can become a river. A few lone voices can become a roar. If the whole world stands together, we CAN end these senseless wars. Yes, we can. Dissent, desert, protest, sanction, refuse, resist, rebel, object, rally, petition, boycott, impeach.

POPSWhen America Ceases To Be Good I am under no illusions about the nature of the people who think they own our government. They have declared unto themselves the new power of Extraordinary Rendition which means they believe they have the right to kidnap, imprison, torture, and even kill any person anywhere in the world. I want to leave this country not because I am foolish enough to think it will make me safe but because I can no longer justify being part of the Greatest Force for Evil in the twenty-first century. Wow. Americans fleeing America. Surreal. Who would ever have thought it, huh?

POPSCheney Impeachment Gains Traction In House Judiciary Committee "Seventy percent of American voters think Cheney has abused his powers and 43 percent say he should be removed from office, according to a Nov. 13 poll by the American Research Group. Organizations, including the National Lawyers Guild, have called for the impeachment of Dick Cheney."

POPSYou Get The Government You Deserve The elections don't just concern Americans. The whole world is in the murderous grasp of the evil American BushCo regime and their bogus "War on Terror". They have deceived their allies and they have murdered millions of innocent people around the world. They sure didn't deserve it! Everyone around the world is watching what you do now. Twice, you put Bush in office and twice, you let him stay there. Patriot Acts, MCA 2006, renditions, torture, secret prisons, lies, wars, surveillance, Gitmo... It has to change. The faces and names in office may change, but make sure the dictatorial laws change too. These elections, DEMAND change! If not, then the US really will get the government they deserve...

POPSKangaroo Abuser Cites Man's 'Dominion' A reward has been offered if anyone knows anything about Tyson's whereabouts. As for the laws, the defense and the cruelty itself? Where to begin? Zoos in Canada only have regulations for native animals such as bears or coyotes. Keepers have no rules for exotic animals, including lions, tigers or kangaroos. "McElroy was brought to court for her manner with native animals and unfortunately it has nothing to do with Tyson's well-being," she said.

POPS The Pleasure of Finding Things Out I would see people building a bridge and I would say ‘they don’t understand’. I really believed that it was senseless to make anything because it would be destroyed very soon anyway, but they didn’t understand that and I had this very strange view of any construction that I would see, I would always think how foolish they are trying to make something. So I was really in a kind of depressive condition. I think a lot of troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan will have PTSD or depression, not just because of the dangers of combat, but perhaps also because of terrible things they have done, or witnessed others do. (Torture, abuse, rape etc) It's imperative we fight wars with as high a degree of dignity and respect for human life as possible, not just for the sake of our enemies and civilians caught up in the crossfire, but also for the long term sake and health of our own too. Guilt is a terrible thing to live with. Speak out against torture.

POPSPioneering 'Heat Wave' Gun May Be Used In Iraq The aim was to spread the word that the device, nicknamed the Silent Guardian, is neither sinister nor dangerous. In an age when the US military has been dogged by allegations of torture at secret bases, such perceptions are crucial. I would think they are... though the thought of people being frazzled to ashes never even crossed my mind! :roll: The development of the weapon only became public after the Sunshine Project - a Texas-based group that campaigns against biological and chemical weapons - pushed for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

POPSBush On Torture Bush said he wouldn't discuss the techniques of torture because he doesn't want the enemy to adjust... Adjust?? How exactly do you adjust to waterboarding? To being hung in chains from the ceiling for hours and days on end? How do you adjust to sleep deprivation? Or sensory deprivation? Or being beaten with cables? Or hypothermia? Or murder? How exactly do you adjust Mr Bush? You are so FULL OF IT. As for the use of secret prisons, (which are against ALL common decency, not to mention International Law) Bush replies: "Yeah, so what?" Yeah, perhaps you're right Bush. By accepting torture and secret prisons, USA has sunken to such depths of moral depravity and stench, that the only way is up anyway... so who cares? Can't you come up with some other horrors and atrocities? Waterboarding is getting a little old, don't you think? How about some pulling of fingernails or hot irons? Or being eaten alive by ants! Be creative, Sir! Hmm... do they have ants in Afghanistan? :roll:

POPSWe Are All The Enemy "For every killed child, woman or man, for all the permanent destruction and looting, hundreds of thousands of new people join the resistance everywhere." "People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back."

POPSIt's WORSE Than Guantanamo And Abu Ghraib The clip does not do the article justice. It was impossible to relay the horrors in such a short space. This is a two page article, that everyone with an iota of humanity left in them MUST read. The U.S Administration and the U.S Military are engaged in widespread, worldwide, systematic torture, abuse, imprisonment and murder!. This is the new USA and what is stands for. I am so sickened, disgusted, angry and I can't even begin to express the outrage I feel. It's sick!! Are you proud of yourself Mr Bush? How do you friggin' sleep at night?!? Geeez... Bush and his fellow partners in crime, have to be removed from power and if there's an ounce of decency left in the citizens of the USA, these people must be stopped and held accountable for all the atrocities and crimes against humanity they have and continue to commit! :mad:

POPSYou Have No Rights An executive order was issued by the president, on the 17th of July, and it said, basically, that if you protest or threaten what he calls “stabilization efforts in Iraq,” your property can be seized and you can be detained. Hmm... long live King George!!

POPSBoy Allegedly Buried In Horror Bullying Episode The alleged ringleader's mother told reporters her son was a sweet child and that she had lost faith in the justice system. A sweet boy?? Geeeez!! Her statement is almost as shocking as the incident itself! One can only imagine the immense fear and terror the poor victim must have felt. It's simply shocking and so hard to fathom, that kids so young can do something so heinous and horrific. Poor boy...I hope he'll be okay. :(

POPSRumsfeld ‘Failed the Nation’ They must be held accountable. If they are allowed to get away with the atrocities they have committed, others will be ready to follow in their footsteps. These *people* have violated everything decent and honourable we are supposed to stand for. We are supposed to be the "good guys". They simply can't be allowed to get away with it.

POPSGene Mutation Linked To Cognition I worry what the Chinese are going to use this data for. Are they going to argue, that their horrific treatment of so many animals is "okay" because animals are too dumb to know or feel what's happening to them?

POPSAnimal Cruelty Cases Swamp SPCA What is wrong with people?!? GRRRRR!!! .:MAD: As with shoplifters, I think people who are caught doing horrendous acts like this should be forced to walk around wearing a huge sign saying: "I TORTURE ANIMALS AND AM A SICK AND TWISTED INDIVIDUAL!" My anger and utter disgust with animal torturers means I'm going to have refrain from commenting further on this, because if I do, all you will get to see will be this anyway: "Comment removed by moderator"

POPSRe-Thinking The War Here's looking forward to a time when clips on America's reputation are more fitting for the nation we aspire to be. When the next major terrorist attack comes, the question will simply be how much liberty Americans have left. That is a victory al Qaeda could not have achieved by force of arms. It is something they have achieved with our witting and conscious help.

POPSStereotypes Dehumanize Stereotyping. We all do it. I for example tend to think, that all clippers are substantially more crazy than regular folks. Hmm... I'm not even sure this is stereotyping actually. It's more of a fact, I reckon! .:D

POPSLapses Found in Battlefield Ethics But anybody who is surprised by it doesn't understand war... Then obviously I don't understand war. I naively thought there were rules and laws regarding human rights and rules of engagement. (You know, silly stuff like the Geneva Convention and such?) I guess I was wrong...
