- WASHINGTON, DC -- "My
colleague here showed me an overview, official study concerning U.S.
detainees. It is not generally known to the public but the U.S
government now has over 30,000 (31,082 as of May 19, 2008) people in
secret custody, all over the world.
-
-
- An official U.S. program of torture and
'rendition' has been going on since before 9/11 and has never stopped. A
number, estimated to be approximately 3,500, have been killed during
these interrogations or have died as the result of them.
-
-
- At the present time, the government, acting under
specific Presidential orders, has a virtual fleet of prison ships
scattered all across the globe and masked by a curtain of strict
secrecy.
-
-
- The U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of
Justice, the U.S Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency
are all heavily involved in this program.
-
-
- A total of 22 U.S. Navy ships (including ten ships
leased by the U.S. Navy) house prisoners who are kept chained up in the
vessels very much like the conditions of the black slavers in the days
when slavery was legal in the United States .
-
-
- Officially, George Bush has said these practices have
been stopped but they are still in full swing and the President is fully
aware of them, even as I speak.
-
-
- Specifically, after Bush claimed in 2006 that the
rendition programs had been halted, acting under his specific orders,
there were 376 new cases of rendition.
-
-
- The ongoing torture is conducted, in the main, by
serving CIA personnel. Since an incident in 2003 when a U.S. Navy doctor
refused to give lethal injections to five prisoners kidnapped from
Quatar by British special forces, now, all CIA interrogation teams are
supplied with a doctor working as a special CIA employee, and under a
false name. In fact, all CIA operators are routinely issued completely
false American passports by the Department of State's Passport
division.
-
-
- It is now known that the FBI, which had originally
been a party to these abductions and tortures, strongly objected to the
methodology of the CIA and a number of agents flatly refused to
participate any further in a deliberate program of what one FBI agent
said was 'the same as those practiced by Josef Stalin's' dread secret
police. As a result of this revolt, the FBI are no longer involved in
this program but agents with first hand knowledge of it have been warned
not to discuss the subject with anyone.
-
- The Soviet gulags were in the Siberian wasteland, far,
far from prying eyes and Bush's death gulags are floating prisons that
can quickly be moved to other locations if their presence becomes
known.
-
-
- The depths of the ocean are excellent places to
dispose of the weighted bodies of the unwanted dead. It wouldn't do for
a broken, mutilated body of a dead torture victim to float to the
surface after being lethally-injected. Unpleasant questions might be
asked by uninitiated foreign governments--and the floating torture
palaces would find it imperative to get up steam, hoist their anchors
and just move to another position without let or hindrance.
-
-
- Names of ships used for this program are known: the
USS Bataan, USS Peleiu, USS Ashland and a whole fleet of Navy ACS units.
Areas of detention include, but are not limited to, Somalia, the Persian
Gulf, Diego Garcia, (where the British intelligence and counter
intelligence now use American ships for their own kidnapped suspects)
the Gulf of Aden and several areas off the south coast of Cuba, in the
area of Guantánamo Bay.
-
-
- The commanding officers, and their staffs, of these
ships are a matter of public record which can be accessed by anyone with
a computer.
-
-
- The legal justification for this mass torture and
murder program? The office of the U.S. Attorney General has ruled that
anti-torture prohibitions (deliberate murder is not a subject here) only
apply within the United States and are not operational outside its
geographical boundaries.
