A major aspect of the CIA’s detention and interrogation operations has been purposefully hidden from view, primarily due to secrecy guidelines that make it illegal for anyone “read into” the program to reveal even its very existence.
Recent declassified documents make clear that there was not one, but two CIA torture programs. These programs used different interrogation techniques, responded to different bureaucracies within the CIA, and had very different levels of oversight.
This article reveals for the first time a crucial untold aspect of the story behind the construction and development of the CIA’s torture programs, such as we can understand them today (December 2018).…Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it does. But look over there — Putin, Russia, Putin, Russia — be afraid, they are coming to take your freedoms.
At the risk of triggering Godwin's law, this is looking more and more like Nazism, especially when coupled with other US government "experiments," such as Project MKUltra.
If CIA was not conducting such medical experiments, why was it afraid it would be charged with doing so? OMS officials seem to have been keenly aware at how close their operations were to breaking federal laws on illegal experimentation on prisoners. They also were worried about a longtime ban on the interrogational use of “mind-altering” drugs which “profoundly altered the senses.”...Medium
REVEALED: There Were Two CIA Torture Programs

ReplyDeleteWhat today’s people call “Nazism” is a warped and self-righteous caricature of National Socialism. Today’s world looks like that caricature.
“If CIA was not conducting such medical experiments, why was it afraid it would be charged with doing so?”
CIA torture reminds me of the psychological phenomenon known as projection. The more we accuse others of crimes, the more we imagine ourselves innocent by comparison. Consider the legend of Josef Mengele having supposedly performed experiments on Jews at Auschwitz. This legend makes the CIA's Satanic experiments “saintly.” Or consider the incineration of Tokyo and Dresden. What was that compared to the nuking of Japan?
Oh wait…we nuked Japan, so we could show off to the Soviets.
Okay, what is Dresden compared to…ah…ah . . .the holocaust?™
Two that we know of ...
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought.
