February 25, 2009 at 12:40 P.M. After approximately 30 minutes of attempting to reach MSN, I have been blocked from the Internet numerous times. I am informed that "MSN" -- and not just MSN Groups -- is apparently "closed." I am skeptical about this claim. I am also deeply resentful of these censorship and suppression of speech efforts that are based on the contents of my opinions.
I hope that this sad spectacle of decline in America's commitment to freedom of expression, following President Obama's First Speech before Congress, will not be a harbinger of things to come. I will try again later today to reach my group at MSN. I will continue to post writings at these blogs. In the event that I experience an unfortunate accident, I suggest that you see "What is it like to be tortured?" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture."
The victims of these fascist tactics are the United States of America, the judiciary throughout the country, and The U.S. Constitution.
As an African-American, N.J. Justice Benjamin Wallace: Is it possible for you to be a part of enslaving another human being or covering-up tortures, rapes, obstructions of justice, thefts?Efforts to reach my MSN Group and writings continue to be obstructed. February 25, 2009 at 8:46 A.M.

The consistent allegations and evidence of heinous tortures at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisons should not detract from the equally horrifying charges of torture involving American inmates as well as others, including allegations of psychological tortures designed and intended to bring about the schizoid and psychotic reactions of victims.
It is alleged by many inmates and others that incarcerated men and women "are cheaper than lab rats" as "specimens" for psychologists and/or psychoanalysts making use of unwilling and non-consensual victims in experiments aimed at maximizing the destructive capacities of forms of so-called "mind control." Sadists are not uncommon among these alleged "therapists." ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "What is it like to be tortured?")
If you are an inmate anywhere and have been "examined" by a forensic psychiatrist or psychologist, there is an excellent chance that you were subjected to hypnosis and questioning in an impaired state to obtain information, illegally, that will be used against you without your knowledge. Start filing those motions in New Jersey.
YOU may have been tortured, then instructed under hypnosis to forget these sessions -- sessions possibly taking place in the presence of the authorities. Among the methods of psychological torture used, routinely, in American prisons are: 1) isolation and solitary confinement; 2) extreme discomfort; 3) denials of access to sanitary facilities; 4) physical beatings; with 5) possible sexual abuse thrown into the mix -- these and other techniques are prohibited under international treaties accepted by the United States of America, also under key provisions of the U.S. Code, such as title 42 which criminalizes violations of civil rights, conspiracies to violate civil rights, and cover-ups of violations of civil rights.
Judges in New Jersey know that these state crimes take place, in my opinion, and they cover-up for corrupt officials in state agencies, such as the tainted OAE.
"If President Barack Obama is serious about ending U.S. support for torture, he can start here in Louisiana." ("America's Holocaust" and "How to Execute the Innocent in New Jersey.")
This almost defies rational description or belief in 2009. Deliberate torture taking place publicly. ("Morality Play.") However, it is undisputed that "Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox" -- members of the Black Panther political party were placed -- "in solitary confinement for 36 years." ( Indypendent, p. 6, emphasis added.)
"At least a dozen inmates testified to receiving the same beatings, assaults, threats of sexual violence, and freezing treatment. ..."
These offenses were especially targeted at alleged political prisoners, such as members of the Panthers, or other "weird socialists":
"Some guards at the prison treated the abuse as a game." -- This is something that I have experienced, amusement at the infliction of pain on victims. -- "Inmate Brian Johns testified at the hearing that, 'One of the guards was hitting us all in the head. Said he liked the sound of the drums -- the drumming sound -- from hitting us in the head with the stick.' ..." (Ibid.)
Solitary confinement, aggravated by severe deprivations of sunlight and fresh air, inadequate sanitary facilities, poor food, and other deliberate inflicted emotional cruelties are commonly focused on African-American inmates and other alleged "sub-humans" (like poor whites), whose political opinions are deemed controversial or unacceptable. Much of Mumia Abu-Jamal's difficulty in winning release and strange "delays" in his legal process resulted from Mr. Abu-Jamal's expressed political opinions. ("News From the 'War on Terror.'")
What is unacceptable to authoritarians or fascists is autonomy, freedom of thought and expression. These tortures and psychological methods are about control. Control is always aimed at civilian populations, ultimately, and so are methods of crowd manipulation. What makes a highly intelligent inmate dangerous is his or her unwillingness to be controlled combined with insistence on humanity, freedom of the will, dignity. These things must be recognized as due to persons as a matter of human rights law, not as a favor or concession from officials.
"[Herman Wallace said:] ... 'The government tries out it's torture techniques on prisoners in the U.S. -- just far enough to see how society will react. It doesn't take long before they unleash their techniques on society as a whole.' If we don't stand up against this abuse now, it will only spread." (Indypendent, p. 6.)
Everton Wagstaffe was offered release from a penitentiary in exchange for accepting continued monitoring as a sex offender. I am not and never have been any kind of sex offender or any kind of criminal. Unless framed for something by New Jersey officials, I doubt that (unlike Mr. Cohen in the N.J. Legislature) I will ever be charged with such a heinous offense. Mr. Wagstaffe refused release on the grounds that he would not accept such conditions of monitoring nor admit to an offense that he did not commit. The victim's death attributed to Mr. Wagstaffe was ...
" ... investigated by the 75th Preccint detective squad, which later came under fire from prosecutors and [was] the subject of an unusual audit by the Police Department for its handling of murder cases. In at least three cases handled by the squad, innocent people were convicted on the testimony of a single eyewitness." (New York Times, February 7, 2009, p. A17.)
This eyewitness and others, allegedly, were kept in confinement at a psychiatric medical facility until they provided testimony that "satisfied" the authorities. Under such circumstances, you (or anyone) will say whatever they tell you to say in order to escape confinement. I agree with Mr. Wagstaffe's decision to fight this injustice and persist in his struggle. Mr. Wagstaffe is African-American. I venture to suggest that he is not a Republican. To my knowledge, no white Republican has been tortured by American officials, either within the U.S. or at any international facility.
"Two Pennsylvania judges have been charged with taking MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in kickbacks to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers." (New York Times, February 12, 2009, p. A27.)
This is further evidence of the financial exploitation of inmates as chattel, slaves who are transformed into money by America's still overwhelmingly white power-structure. This includes white inmates who, for the purposes of this financial arrangement, are deemed "like" blacks and also made into slaves. When the prison-industrial system sees an inmate what registers is dollar signs, not skin color.
Who was paying Terry Tuchin? For what services were you paid, Terry? What judges or members of the bar were sharing in the loot fraudulently obtained by Terry from insurance companies? Diana? Debbie Poritz? A boy named Stu'?
"Prosecutors said the judges, Mark Clavarella, 58, ... and Michael Conahan, 56, who both presided in Luzerne County, took $2.6 MILLION in payoffs to put" -- mostly African-American young people, which would please Cubanazos -- "in lockups run by PA Child Care LLC and a sister company, Western PA Child Care LLC. The judges were charged on January 26 and removed from the bench by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court." (Ibid.)
This is a modern version of slavery. Inmates are "SOLD" to facilities that know how to show their appreciation to judges for sending them "business." Doctors at these facilties are supplied with new "lab rats" for their experiments and everybody is happy -- except for the mostly African-American young people whose lives are destroyed. ( See "America's Holocaust" and "Foucault, Rose, Davis and the Meanings of Prison.")
"Torture's willing advocates" -- ethical lawyers at New Jersey's OAE? -- "needless to say, took a much more 'optimistic' line. They argued that extreme physical pain, artfully applied, will take away the examinee's freedom to keep secrets and withhold the truth. [Often the real motive for torture is "sexual pleasure on the part of torturers, usually torturers experience suppressed homosexual desires."] This 'de-liberation' (or removal of free will) no doubt bore fruit some of the time."
Stephen Holmes, "Is Defiance of Law a Proof of Success? Magical Thinking in the War on Terror," in Karen J. Greenberg, ed., The Torture Debate in America (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006), pp. 118-135, esp. p. 120.
Do you speak to me of ethics, Stuart Rabner? Are Anne Milgram and Debbie Poritz going cruising later? Diana? No wonder Judge Richard A. Posner writes that law must treat persons as "objects."
