Badtux the Snarky PenguinIn a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped. |
Wednesday, August 03, 2005It's monkeys all the way downIn The Guardian (UK), a former London schoolboy describes his treatment in America's new gulag:They cut off my clothes with some kind of doctor's scalpel. I was naked. I tried to put on a brave face. But maybe I was going to be raped. Maybe they'd electrocute me. Maybe castrate me. They took the scalpel to my right chest. It was only a small cut. Maybe an inch. At first I just screamed ... I was just shocked, I wasn't expecting ... Then they cut my left chest. This time I didn't want to scream because I knew it was coming. One of them took my penis in his hand and began to make cuts. He did it once, and they stood still for maybe a minute, watching my reaction. I was in agony. They must have done this 20 to 30 times, in maybe two hours. There was blood all over. "I told you I was going to teach you who's the man," [one] eventually said. They cut all over my private parts. One of them said it would be better just to cut it off, as I would only breed terrorists. The Green Lantern then asks, "Tell me, if someone were dicing YOUR penis like a tomato, how long before you "confessed" to being an Al Qaida terrorist?" Dear, dear fool, don't you undersand? Of *course* he is guilty. He's *BROWN*. Oh sure, maybe he isn't guilty of the specific crime of which he is accused, but what does it matter? Americans won't care. The Orwell Administration has drilled deep down into the monkey brain of the American people, the part that wants to hoot and howl and throw feces at any monkey that doesn't follow the same alpha male (GWB) that they do. They've carefully addressed the inner monkey of the American people to the point where most Americans, like the monkeys that we are (after all, we were monkeys for a million years before our big-domed heads invented civilization, morality, etc.), are conditioned to believe that nobody but Americans are human. Everybody else is just "other", untermenschen, filth, not to be trusted, not to be believed. And only certain classes of Americans are human -- good god-fearin' heterosexual by-god Republican Christians. Everybody else is just untermenschen, to hoot and howl and throw feces at. Monkeys. It's monkeys all the way down to the moral bottom. Ten thousand years of civilization, forgotten as if they never existed, leaving only a pack of jumped-up monkeys with too-big brains and delusions of grandeur. F*ck. - Badtux the Disgusted Penguin Posted by: BadTux / 8/03/2005 12:38:00 PMComments:It's the sort of thing that leads to cover articles for Life Magazine about the trophy skulls being sent home. What is WRONG with people? That was 1943. Have we advanced? Apparently not.In 1943 Life magazine published the picture of a U.S. sailor's girlfriend contemplating a Japanese skull sent to her as a gift - with a note written on the top of the skull. Referring to this practice, Edward L. Jones, a U.S. war correspondent in the Pacific wrote in the February 1946 Atlantic Magazine, "We boiled the flesh off enemy skulls to make table ornaments for sweethearts, or carved their bones into letter-openers." On occasion, these "Japanese trophy skulls" have confused police when they have turned up during murder investigations. It has been reported that when the remains of Japanese soldiers were repatriated from the Mariana Islands in 1984, sixty percent were missing their skulls." Source: Kenneth V.

That is disgusting. Torture will make people say anything. I know I would say anything. I know it's a dream, but I sure wish the people who do these things, get the same treatment.
