FUCK USA TORTURE PROGRAMS

Evidence of Treason: Why Bush and Obama Ought to Spend the Rest of their Lives in Prison

By Mark A. Goldman


Mohamad vs. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc.


The adjudication of this case -- a case against a subsidiary of Boeing -- was dismissed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on grounds that to let the case go forward would jeopardize the country by forcing the release of state secrets. The secret, apparently, was that this airline was assisting the United States in shipping innocent men off to other countries to be brutally tortured, some for more than five years, and then made to sign false confessions before they were released. Although there was plenty of evidence to suggest that the charges were true, the majority felt they had to dismiss the case as requested by the Executive. The evidence that I found most compelling was the court's opinion itself, which demonstrated to me that our Chief Executive is a traitor to his country, much like his immediate predecessor was, and others before them were. It is their infidelity and the infidelity of their advisors and so many others that makes a mockery of our judiciary, our flag, you, me, the teachers we had in school, our Constitution, and the good intentions of our Founders.


I read this case and weep for my country and for my grandchildren and for children everywhere, for their future does not look as bright as mine or yours once did. Their freedoms are hanging by thread. Their birthright has been stolen from them... and from me... and from you.


Click  http://www.gpln.com/mohamed%20v%20jeppesen%20dataplan.pdf to read the judges' opinions in this case... read both the majority and the dissent. Give thanks that there still is a minority dissenting view that you can read. One wonders how long it will take before such a view will itself be considered a state secret... a secret you might one day suspect exists, if you are somewhat conscious, but never get to read about in a public forum.


If you think it is a bit over the top to suggest that our present and past Commanders-in-Chief ought to pay for their crimes, you need to remember that these victims join millions of others who faced, and continue to face, a similar fate... similar in that some were tortured, some murdered, others inadvertently killed, orphaned, crippled, blinded, de-limbed, burned, displaced, starved, nuclear poisoned, threatened, lied to, bankrupted, driven to insanity, or otherwise demeaned... all in the name of carrying out a fraudulent, barbarous, unconscionable, mishandled, criminally negligent, totally corrupt and illegal war against people our Commanders-in-Chief were honor bound, and duty bound, to nurture and protect. They chose instead to betray them... and us.

Let me say this once to clarify why your broad brush critique is not helping:

I did not vote for Obama (nor Bush)so why waste your time calling out names

Before you call me and fellow Individuals For Justice Torture Protesters "hypocrites" ...check your self!

Besides just shit talking out here on PIMC ...show some solidarity

I didn't think that Portland Indymedia is a Obama loving place so relax with the on-slought and share the info you have ... It is interesting and bothersome (to know the government is doing this)regarding that of which you mention about Boeing and the current US government secrecy about it all. I hate it in fact.

Liberals all too frequently confuse tactics with goals. If you're more concerned about "name calling" than you are about the obvious crimes of Obama and the Democrats, then you need to retire from engagement in public politicking.

And let's be honest: You don't object to name-calling when the targets are people you hate, e.g., "The fucken idiots I was debating with them". (That's hypocrisy, too.)

What you also seem to be saying is that you don't know the evidence of Obama's crimes, so that's why your group (which has nothing to do with "justice") refuses to call for the impeachment of Democrats. Don't depend on me for your research; the evidence is everywhere, e.g.:

from Delaware Distraction Obscures Oval Office Atrocities ( link to www.opednews.com)

"It's true that O'Donnell has taken the politically risky step of denouncing America's national pastime -- masturbation -- and has, over the years, supported any number of positions that put her on the far side of common sense. But one struggles in vain to find that she has advanced anything remotely as radical -- or lunatic -- as the idea that the President of the United States is some kind of intergalactic emperor who holds the power of life and death over every living being on earth in his autocratic hands. Yet this is precisely the position proclaimed -- openly, before Congress, God and everybody -- by the highly educated, intellectually sophisticated, super-savvy Laureate of Peace currently residing in the White House.

"This same president has also fought tooth and nail -- often in open court -- to shield torturers, escalate pointless wars of aggression, relentlessly expand a liberty-stripping Stasi-style security apparatus, give trillions of tax dollars to rapacious financiers, health-care corporations, insurance companies and bloodstained war profiteers, while launching cowardly drone missile attacks on the sovereign territory of close ally, killing hundreds of civilians in the process - and has just signed off on the biggest arms deal in history with one of the most viciously repressive tyrannies on earth."

I'll show "solidarity" with your group when and only when I see some evidence that you are not partisan hacks, i.e., when you judge Democrats (even those you didn't vote for) by the same standards that you judge Republicans or "zionists".
