Mitt Romney's Top Contributors

Susan Brannon
12 July 2012

Looking that the list below for the top contributors to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, I can't help to wonder why these are the companies that are supporting him.  Actually, it is a bit scary most of them are banks, like the big ones that are known to have caused the mess that we are in like the Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup and...get this:  the Credit Suisse Group.

The New York Times reported that big named donors  "are descending on Utah’s exclusive Deer Valley resort this weekend for what invitees are calling Republicanpalooza: a two-day retreat featuring Karl Rove, Condoleezza Rice, Jeb Bush and John McCain."  They go on further to explain, "But the highlight for the 700 guests, who either contributed $50,000 or raised $250,000 for the campaign, will be unfettered access to Mr. Romney himself," 


Romney is tied to Wall Street interests as we can see by the donors list.  Do we really want another Wall street guy running our country?  If these guys donated this much, you can bet that they will expect something in return for their buck.  Watch out America...have we not learned anything yet?  My question is:  How did we vote Romney in this far into the game?  What is the matter with the American people?  Did we not learn anything from our 2008 tumble?


Compare the list at the bottom to the donors for Obama:  Obama's donors are educators, and technology such as Microsoft, DLA Piper, Google, UofC and Harvard.  These are the folks that Obama will have to "pay back"  wouldn't we rather have our candidate pay back education and technology that will help to grow our economy for now and our future, rather than those who sit high on wall street?  Think about it.

The great American Election


This election is serious this time around while things are falling apart all around us and worldwide.  We need to be as informed as possible regarding those who are running, before we elect them to run our country.  Imagine 4 years of someone who is known to lie to the public even before they are elected; imagine what they will be able to lie to us about later.  Imagine the future condition of our country if someone who cannot be open and honest runs this country.


We are in a time where the rubber meets the road and every single person who can vote should go out and vote.  No excuses.  I understand that Obama has let us down in many ways, but we must remember what the state of our country was in when he came in and the known snowballing of the things that Bush had already put into action just before he left office.  


In reality, things are actually simple but on a larger scale for the economy in America.  If a person looses their job and gets behind on their bills, it takes about 6 months for every month that they get behind to catch up.  This is an average.  Image this situation on a larger scale, the American economy:  to fix things it takes longer and it does not all fall into Obama's lap.  Get real on this.  Corporations have lost their social responsibility to the people of America by cutting health benefit costs in the billions by hiring more part time workers and less full time workers denying the worker any assistance in benefits.  We put less in the system because our income in lower and the corporations pay less into the system as well.  


It is not our presidents alone that can solve this, it is also those who run the corporations.  Most of these corporations can afford to have full time workers, but chose not to because they can get away with it.  Most of these corporations deposit billions of dollars into foreign banks as a tax cut, because they can all at the Americans expense.


It is time for us to say "enough" and stand up boycott those corporations, no matter how much we "like" their services that they offer and walk away.  We need to walk away from the banks that took advantage of the American people promising them homes that they could not afford, robbing each and every one of us for this time and for our future.  


It is where the money is, that hurts the corporations and don't fool yourselves.  They really don't care.  But we must care and take action to stand up and stop putting money in their pockets.


Research your leaders and vote, write letters, sign petitions, and write some more, make calls and move your money out of the companies that are known to rob the American people.

Romney is hiding too many things

This is an excerpt from an email that I received:

Today, The Boston Globe reported that Romney was still running Bain Capital two years after he claims he left the firm, directly contradicting his campaign's denial that he was involved in deals that led to layoffs, bankruptcies, and American jobs getting shipped overseas.

It's a pattern of secrecy, and this is just the latest example of him trying to hide the truth from voters. There are a number of issues in play right now -- and voters deserve answers:

1) Mitt Romney refuses to release multiple years of taxes, ignoring decades of precedent.

2) He won't disclose his "bundlers," the people raising millions for his campaign.

3) He is the sole owner of a questionable shell corporation in Bermuda.

4) Until recently, Romney kept cash in a Swiss bank account.

5) According to the Globe, he hasn't been honest about when he was running Bain Capital, even though legal documents refute his claims.

Pope John XXIII - Pacem in Terris - Peace on Earth


Susan Brannon
13 July 2012

Pope John XXIII was born on 25 November 1881 until 3 June 1963.   In Easter week of 1963, less than two months before his death Pope John XXIII issued his encyclical letter, The Pacem in Terris meaning Peace on Earth.  Below is part of that text:

Peace on Earth, which men of every era have most eagerly yearned for, can be firmly established only if the order laid down by God be dutifully observed.
He created all things out of nothing, pouring into them the abundance of His wisdom and goodness.
God also created man in His own images and likeness, endowed him with intelligence and freedom,
and made him lord of creation.
How strongly does the turmoil of individual men and peoples contrast with the perfect order of the universe!
But the Creator of the world has imprinted in man's heart an order which his conscience reveals to him and enjoins him to obey.
The family...is...the first and essential cell of human society.

Human beings have the natural right to free initiative in the economic field, and the right to work.
Women have the right to working conditions in accordance with their requirements and their duties as wives and mothers.
Furthermore, there is the right to a working wage, a standard of living in keeping with the dignity of the human person...the right of assembly and association...to freedom of movement.
Every man has the right to life, to bodily integrity.
A human being also has the right to security in cases of sickness, inability to work, widowhood, old age, unemployment, or in any other case in which he is deprived of the means of subsistence through no fault of his own.

Every human being has the right...to freedom in searching for truth and in expressing and communicating his opinions, to share in the benefits of culture, and therefore the right to a basic education.
Every human being has the right to honor God according to the dictates of an upright conscience.
The right of every man to life is correlative with the duty to preserve it.
Men are meant to live with others and to work for one another's welfare.
When the relations of human society are expressed in terms of rights and duties, men become...deeply aware that they belong to this world of values.
To safeguard the inviolable rights of the human person, and to facilitate the fulfillment of its duties, should be the essential office of every public authority.
Truth...calls for...the elimination of every trace of racism.
Political communities have the right to existence, development, and to the means necessary for this.
It is with deep sorrow that we note the enormous stocks of armaments that have been and still are being made.
People live in constant fear
lest the storm that every moment threatens should break upon them with dreadful violence.
And with good reason, for the arms of war are ready at hand.
Justice, then, right reason and humanity urgently demand that the arms race should cease; that the stockpiles which exist in various countries should be reduced equally and simultaneously by the parties concerned;
that nuclear weapons should be banned; and that a general agreement should eventually be reached about progressive disarmament and an effective method of control.
The public authority of the world community...must have as its fundamental objective
the recognition, respect, safeguarding, and promotion of the rights of the human person.
There is an immense task incumbent on all men of good will, namely, the task of restoring the relations of the human family in truth,  in justice, in love, and in freedom.
Every believer in this world of ours must be a spark of light.
This is the peace which we implore of Him with the ardent yearning of Our prayer

He is the first and only person running for the president of the united states with swiss bank accounts and in foreign countries with tax shelters and tax avoidance schemes.  Romney's father, filed 12 years of tax returns and said that this should be standard.  Romney, his son has only filed one tax return.
Why would anyone need a Swiss bank account, 1) to conceal your wealth 2) or think that the Swiss franc is stronger than the US dollar.  Romney moved his money over under a Republican president.

Romney replied," I am not the money manager, and I don't know where the accounts are."  The day before Romney was sworn into governor, he transfered the money into a money trust under his wife's name, which is a tax haven.  Why would someone running for the highest office in the land, conceal his financials.  Ask Romney, "Have you paid your fair share in taxes?"

Romney: Ed Show Tax Haven Candidate


George Zornick From the Nation says, "Romney won’t disclose what money he may be hiding overseas, but we do know where his donors put their billions. Ten of the eleven top contributors to Mitt’s campaign (who contribute through political action committees and employees, not directly) abuse offshore tax havens, and some are the most notorious in the business for doing so. Citigroup, for example, has over 1,200 offshore tax havens, and is the sixth biggest donor to the campaign. Nation writer George Zornick went on The Ed Show last night to shed more light on why the presumptive GOP candidate needs to open his books now."

Haiti: Quick Facts

Susan Brannon
19 May 2012

Haiti Quick Facts

The Crossing Borders Project is going to Haiti, to see what life is really like over there.  The different sub-cultures explain Haiti Today (2012) with different perspectives.  The Crossing Borders Project wants to know what is "really" going on.  First we have what I call the large corporation type aid workers, who received a ton of money and people are wondering where the money went.  (More of this on a different post) Second, we have the Haitians who's problems are never ending and not getting much better; HIV is at a height, recent outbreaks of Cholera at an increasing level and is feared to increase during this years rainy season; (more on this is a different post) water is scarce, and many homes have not been rebuilt while crime is rising. 

I have listed some quick "getting to know Haiti" facts

Total population 10,033,00
Life expectancy m/f 60/63
probability of dying under five (per 1000 live births) 87
80% of the Haitians live below the poverty line
Half of the population can be considered "food poor or insecure" and half of the children are under developed as a result of malnutrition.
Less than half of the population has access to clean drinking water
43% of the target population receives the recommended immunizations.
Half of the population can be considered "food poor or insecure" and half of the children are under developed as a result of malnutrition.
Haiti ranks last in the Western hemisphere
The ratio of nurses and physicians are 11/25 per 100,000
Most of the rural areas do not have access to health care, making them susceptible to treatable diseases.

There are over 600,000 Haitians living in tents and temporary structures.  Port-au-Prince is still the most affected area in the center and through the south of the city to the Carrefour, Leogane and Petit Goave district.

Cholera had entered the Artibonite River, Haiti's longest, 60 miles upstream ó most likely from a leaky latrine at a United Nations camp for peacekeeping troops, who carried it from Nepal.

This is a country only a few hours away by plane from the United States.
This is a country where billions of dollars have been donated and much of it used to support the aid agencies. 

The Crossing Borders Project only has two weeks to let the Haitians tell their stories through the visual image so we can see their lives through their eyes.

Congress is About to Pass A Bill That Restricts, Travel, International Banking and Driving

Congress Is About To Pass A Bill That Restricts traveling, driving and international banking
April 18, 2012 Madrid, Spain
Reposted from: Business Insider

The U.S. Passport Act of 1926 is an obscure piece of legislation that was enacted decades ago when the idea of passports started catching fire around the world. Subsequently absorbed into U.S. Code Title 22, the law was originally intended to authorize and issue passports for . .citizens to travel abroad.

Several years ago, the law was modified to provide the Secretary of State with the authority to revoke or deny a passport to any U.S. citizen convicted of engaging in immoral acts with minors overseas. Until now, this has been the only instance of excluding a U.S. citizen from travel abroad. But if Senator Barbara Boxer gets her way, there’s going to be one more.

As part of Senate Bill 1813 (known as MAP-21), Congress has inserted language that would oblige the Secretary of State to revoke or deny a passport to any U.S. citizen who the IRS Commissioner deems as having "seriously delinquent tax debt." For the purposes of MAP-21, "seriously delinquent tax debt" is defined as an amount in excess of $50,000 in which a notice of lien or levy has been filed in public records.

Bear in mind, this is strictly an administrative procedure; there is no due process. By comparison, even pedophiles go in front of a judge before losing their passports. Something is wrong with this picture. News of the 1676-page bill has broken across mainstream media outlets. Forbes, Fox Business, the Atlantic, BusinessWeek … everyone is reporting on this now. So far, though, no one in Washington has shown any intention of backing down.

I’ve taken the time to actually read the entire bill myself … I wanted to ensure that I understood it fully before telling you about it. And believe it or not, there are even dumber provisions within. For starters, in what may be one of the most depraved Big Brother moves on record, section 31406 of the bill makes it mandatory for "black box" event recorders to be installed in every new passenger vehicle starting with model year 2015.

Section 31504 requires the development of special alarm systems designed to remind drivers that there are other passengers in the vehicle. Duh. Then there are provisions for more taxpayer funding to subsidize the massively loss-making Amtrak … plus calls to develop more national, regional, and state-owned railways across the country.

Perhaps most important, though, is Title II of the bill – "Stop Taxhaven Abuse." Long story short, if the U.S. government decides in its sole discretion that a foreign jurisdiction is impeding tax enforcement, Uncle Sam can shut them out of the U.S. financial system, no questions asked. It’s just another measure to turn foreign banks into unpaid spies of the federal government … and limit financial freedom for U.S. citizens. This is a bully move, plain and simple.

Most of the global financial system depends on U.S. banks for correspondent accounts. When you wire money from Cambodia to Brazil, for example, the funds pass through New York. But these kill switch provisions are actually on very shaky legal ground. As several banker and attorney friends of mine in popular offshore jurisdictions like Panama and Labuan have told me, the new bill violates a host of trade agreements. Moreover, it may prove to be the final nail in the coffin for U.S. dominance in global banking … it’s almost as if Congress is daring the international community to come up with a better alternative.

As China opens its currency and economy more and more each day, it seems painfully obvious that a new solution is coming soon. Meanwhile, U.S. citizens would do well to start focusing on taking action while the window is still open. This involves seeking a second passport (lest you have yours revoked), moving gold out of the country, and establishing a foreign bank account.

The Gaza Strip - Documentary Film

Forward by Susan Brannon Film by James Longley James Longley went to the Gaza Strip for three months and made a documentary film in 2001. This was before the settler's were forced to leave and gives a true prospective on life for the Gazans just as things started to get worse. James Longley decided to release his film for free online only a few months ago so more people will have access to view the Gazan realities. He first released his film in 2002 at the Chicago Palestine Film Festival and the place was packed. Longley also produced "Iraq in Fragments" and was awarded three jury awards at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature. His short film Sari's Mother premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Short. In 2009, Longley was awarded a $500,000 MacArthur Fellowship "Genius Grant. This film begins with an introductory to the live in the Gaza Strip and the tension increases in the film while the tension is increasing in the Strip. Parts of this film clearly shows crimes against humanity...when the Israelis dropped chemical canisters onto Khan Younis, Gaza of an unknown substance. At the time, the population was going about their business, along with shooting nearby. The children were coming home from school and the men were working and the then the canisters of some sort of smell-less gas that tasted like sugar or mint was released onto the general population. The film focuses on the lives of the children and you can clearly see the effects of the trauma in their lives. You can follow along through some of the lives of these Gazan children and understand that the children had to grow up quickly with the sounds of bullets, rockets, tanks and loosing their homes. They lost friends, parents, uncles and brothers. One of the children decides that it is better to die than live like the way that his life has led and reflects what life means to him. There are scenes that describe the aftermath at the hospital explaining that some boys picked up some boxing gloves that the Israeli tank dropped off to play with it. Inside was some metal, they thought they could sell it. One boy took the metal ball out of the glove and tried to break it. It exploded and was killed instantly. Two other boys were injured and taken to the hospital.t This film is an eyewitness to The aftermath of the destroyed homes in Khan Younis, the shooting when the families attempt to clean up the mess. You can hear the shooting while the families live in small tents near their destroyed homes. In the end there is utter devastation, inside of the Gaza Strip, in the neighborhoods inside of the Gazan border. It is my hopes that the world does not forget the Gazans and continue to ignore the plight that their lives have taken. After the shooting of this film, life has become much worse for those that live in the Gaza Strip.

Another film by James Miller and his team going into Afghanistan where no film crews have gone for the British series Dispatches. This film represents a truth of Afghanistan in 2001. Afghanistan is quite different now that the American soldiers have come in as you will see in other films that I post on this blog. This film has won many awards: RTS International Current Affairs award, Emmy Award, BAFTA, and the RTS "Programme of the Year" award. James Miller collaborated with reporter Saira Shah who was with him covering the last film that Miller made titled: Death in Gaza released in 2004.

Dr. Garth Nicolson microbiologist talks about vaccines

Death in Gaza Full Documentary

This is a documentary by James Miller:
While filming, producer/director James Miller was killed by an Israeli soldier. He was considered a martyr to the Palestinians and they waved his picture in the streets. Miller's death came about after he and fellow crew members were attempting to approach an Israeli APC at night time, audibly and visibly suggesting their neutrality as journalists by wearing helmets and flak vests marked "TV", waving a white flag and walking slowly in the open. A first warning shot was fired by an Israeli soldier, and a crew member reaffirmed their neutrality by yelling "We are British journalists". Seconds later, another shot was fired and hit Miller in the neck, killing him instantly. This occurred while the crew was filming military activity from one of the children's homes in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
James Miller and crew had intended on illustrating this struggle from the Israeli children's point of view also, but James was killed before even the completion of the Palestinian segment of this film. His death was incorporated as a major part of the film, with an explanation by the narrator, Saira Shah, at the beginning of the film, and the full story and reactions at the end. It is mentioned that Palestinian militants made posters declaring that Miller was a martyr against the film crew's wishes. (Note:  The links that these docs were linked to were removed.  Instead I inserted the full documentary here and on my Part 2 link, I inserted the doc in smaller portions for slow Internets)...You know not everyone in the world has fast Internet, like myself!  Remember that!

Merck, Hillerman, Vaccines and Children - U.S.A.


Susan Brannon
8 May 2012
Over a year ago, I wrote an article on the Swine Flu vaccine and have kept it in the back-burner of my mind. In November 2011, I became a proud new grandmother and while I was ooing and ahhing over the cute little bundle, California passed a new law that I was unaware of the California parents loosing their rights to decide for their children if they can receive vaccines or not. In the midst of my ecstasy, my own grandson was receiving vaccines.

In fact, he received a few vaccines only a few hours after he was born. The vaccines involved in California are not just any vaccines but those involved in sexuality (and thus fertility) focused vaccines. Governor Jerry Brown signed it into law despite the appeal of parents in California. Gardasil and Hepatitis B vaccine are two vaccines that 12 year old children may now "consent" to and both are Merck products.

Yes, it is hard for a parent to decide, should I or shouldn't I give my child these vaccines?" When one reads all the corruption that occurs in the pharmaceutical companies along with the knowledge that they release contaminated vaccines, then one really must wonder about these companies...our government, and our public health. Unfortunately, I am concerned over the "Nazi style propaganda" that is going on these days concerning vaccines. Is it really a "bad parent" and a person who does not care for the overall public health of our nation to refuse vaccines for their children? Are these parents really ignorant and believing "conspiracy theories" when they decide not to give the vaccines to their children? Not to mention the ridicule and rejection in schools they receive, the dirty looks from physicians and other parents who were socially aligned for the good of all and public health. Is this really the division between Aryan and non Aryan? Did we forget what happened in our past? Did we forget the experiments that the Nazis did to the Jewish women?

The worlds largest vaccine distributor, researcher, and developer is the Merck Pharmaceutical Company. Let's look at some of the company's history. "Records show the Merck pharmaceutical company received a major share of the Nazi "flight capital" at the close of World War II when its president, George W. Merck, was America's biological weapons industry director. These facts were revealed by Norman Covert, Army public relations director at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD, and veteran news correspondent Paul Manning in his book "Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile" (Lyle Stuart, Inc, 1981)." (see: Nazi connections to Allopathy)

For Jewish families who lost sons because of AIDS, it may be of interest that the vaccine chief at Merck, Dr. Maurice Hillerman, admitted that Merck's Hepatitis B vaccine caused the AIDS epidemic in the US because the vaccines were contaminated with a monkey virus. (He also said that all Merck's vaccines are contaminated with cancer and other viruses.) Dr. Hillerman gave an interview conducted by medical historian Edward Shorter for WGBH public television (Boston) and Blackwell Science was cut from The Health Century due to its huge liability–the admission that Merck drug company vaccines have traditionally been injecting cancer viruses (SV40 and others) in people worldwide."

Dr. Maurice Hillerman, while working at Merck discovered that the polio vaccine was contaminated that was being tested in Russia at the time. In his interview he states that all vaccines have some type of virus in them and that , "Yellow Fever vaccine had leukemia in it." Dr. Hillerman went to a meeting to explain his findings and said, "However, this virus has long term effects, I just had a feeling." He was asked what those long term effects were and Dr Maurice replied, "Cancer". Following his finding, there was not a press release or report given to the public regarding this discovery, the vaccine was not pulled from the shelves and continued in their testing stage in Russia. Later, the press exploded with news regarding the success of the polio vaccine. The American people fled to their doctors to receive this vaccine, trusting in the ethics of science and our government for public health protection. Who would have thought that such a respectable company would and could release something that would harm our nations public health?

Dr. Hillerman realized that the cancer virus was called SV40, He said, "It was good science at the time, because it was what you did. The next thing you know, three weeks after that we found that there were tumors in these hamsters."

FACT: Before the Polio Vaccine, there had never been a virus from another species deliberately injected into humans.
FACT: 61% of all human tumors (at autopsy) now contain the SV40 monkey virus, which is traceable to the Polio Vaccine of the 1950s and 1960s.

If these things could happen in the past, then who is to say that they do not happen now? Dr. Larry Palevsky, a board certified New York pediatrician, routinely gave vaccines to his patients for ten years until he noticed them losing eye contact. He then began looking into the vaccines he had blindly trusted, and found that they are ALL contaminated with viruses that are so small they can never be removed. He no longer gives any vaccines, and now treats his young patients for autism and other neurological injuries from vaccines.

Merck, Gardasil and our government knows that the vaccines are contaminated, then why are the Americans forced to give these vaccines to their children? (see also: (Truth about Gardasil, and your lawyer) Perhaps the highest scientific authority saying vaccines are contaminated is Garth Nicolson. He is a cell biologist and editor of the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Metastasis, and the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry. He is one of the most cited scientists in the world, having published over 600 medical and scientific peer-reviewed papers, edited over 14 books, and served on the editorial boards of 28 medical and scientific journals. Nicolson is not just saying that vaccines are contaminated with mycoplasma, but is also warning the US that they are. He goes even further, and says that we are being damaged by them and contracting chronic degenerative diseases.

The number of vaccines that the American children are receiving increased with time:
1980: 9 vaccines, autism is rare
2009: 36 vaccines before age 5
2010: 55 vaccines before age 6

It is a fact that The US government has conceded that the Hepatitis B Vaccine causes Lupus – and it has also been associated with MS – but it is still mandated for every infant in the US on the day of birth! All the vaccines mandated to children and many other vaccines as well, including the seasonal flu vaccines being mandated to health care workers, are contaminated with Polysorbate 80, the central ingredient in a pharmaceutical industry patent to damage fertility. The pharmaceutical industry has a long history of of seeking a vaccine that would covertly sterilize whole populations.

The Gardasil Vaccine (HPV) is to protect from two types of HPV, HPV 16 and 18 that cause 70% of cervical cancers, 80% of anal cancers, 60% of vaginal cancers, and 40% of vulvar cancers. This vaccine contains GMO's that alters peoples DNA just like it does with our crops. India suspended Gardasil after 4 girls died, but the killing has gone on in the US – despite the confirmed deaths of over 100 girls. Furthermore, the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) – with special ties to Merck – now wants ALL boys to take it too!

Official Adverse Reaction Data for Gardasil – up to 12th August, 2011:
Deaths = 103
Life Threatening = 444
Disabled = 763
Abnormal Pap Smear = 430
Cervical Dysplasia = 157
Cervical Cancer = 41
Emergency Room Visit = 9,115
Hospitalized = 2307
Extended Hospital Stay = 201
Adverse Events = 23,388
Serious = 3,111
Did Not Recover = 4,777
But these figures are based on statistics from medical professionals who do not wish to be sued. In reality, less than 10% of all deaths, seizures, paralysis, etc., are being reported as being caused by the vaccinations that doctors gave their patients.

The following real-world estimates are based on reports from the legal firm Monheit Law:
840 girls and 2 boys have died after receiving the Gardasil HPV Vaccine.
201,010 girls have suffered debilitating events such as fatigue, seizures, paralysis, etc., after receiving the Gardasil HPV Vaccine.

Under the California law, children will be the ones decide whether to take the vaccines, and they will make that decision after being forced to see videos of people dying terrible deaths from cancer. Not only would the vaccine be given without parental consent, but parents are denied knowledge that the vaccine is going to be given, or that it was given. If the child has a seizure, or dies afterward, parents cannot even see their own child’s medical records!

It should be left to every parent to decide for their children regarding health concerns such as this. It is the parents responsibility and not the governments responsibility to decide what is right for the child. Our policies should put the control back into our hands, not take them away.

11 year old explains GMO and his views

This guy puts it simple and in real terms!

Truth Monsanto GMO Corn Seeds - USA

Patent seeds, Monsanto sues farmers, (144) sued so far. This does not include those who have been threatened, and became scared and did whatever Monsanto wanted them to do. They also sued against farmers who did not want anything to do with GMO seeds. Monsanto sued farmers, who became contaminated with seeds that blew into their farms from nearby farms. Congress passed a law the declaratory judgment act; allows a person who believe that they may get sued, go to court first, to get a ruling from a judge that you are not doing anything wrong. Farmers filed a declaratory judgment against Monsanto, regarding seed contamination in their fields. They wrote a letter to Monsanto informing them about the judgment requesting a letter that they would not be sued for contamination. The judgment, did not ask for money, just a peace of mind. They did not write a letter. Rule on patent law, is only usable if it is socially useful. For example, an invention to poison the people is not patentable. Therefore, patents on GMOs is not patentable, because of scientifically evidence. In the long term it is injurious to public society. A law firm, filed a request that Monsanto's seeds are not patentable.

In Vermont, the vaccine industry attempted to remove parents’ right to philosophical objection to vaccines. Vermonters stood up for their rights and the legislature stood with the people.

But this battle to remove parental rights to decide what is best for their child affects every family in the country, and it is far from over. The pharmaceutical industry is working state to state to remove both philosophical and religious exemptions.

It is crucial to be clear that most families right now do not even realize exemptions exist or how to get them, and are cowed by school or medical or government authorities who say they must get them which is untrue.

Parents are not informed either that they have a choice whether to let them children be injected with vaccines or about their dangers. From the Alliance for Human Research Protection:

“…. the reality is that much of what public health officials and vaccine manufacturers proclaim is not backed by science or experience.

“…. Not only have the vaccines failed to protect against the targeted disease, but the vaccines are implicated in increasing the likelihood of children becoming infected with more virulent strains of the disease.

Exemptions for vaccines go to the heart of the issue – the human right to refuse vaccines on any basis. From Dr. Mercola:

“The issue of protecting your right to make an informed, voluntary vaccination choice for yourself or your child in the United States is about defending human rights.” As Barbara Loe Fisher, president of NVIC, states:

“‘While the State may have the legal authority to mandate use of vaccines, nobody has the moral authority to FORCE you to get vaccinated or vaccinate your child without your voluntary, informed consent.’”

But the government has been allowed to put out false “health information” around vaccines, and arguing over it serves as a powerful distraction from two undeniable criminal actions that vaccines are now being used to perpetrate against children’s bodies. The need for this information and the basis for refusal now has become urgent.

1. Any child in the US who is vaccinated with the new DNA vaccines, and with vaccines that are part of the CDC’s mandatory vaccine schedule (as well as any person taking the flu vaccine) are being subjected to polysorbate 80, a sterilizing agent.

That fact is not deniable since polysorbate 80 is listed as the preferred ingredient in a phama patent entitled “A Fertility Impairing Vaccine.” (The University of Georgia Research Foundation [pharmaceutical companies, along with agribusiness] is listed as the patent applicant.)

“In the description section of the patent application, Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is listed as a preferred ingredient:

“‘In a preferred embodiment the vaccine comprises oil, preferably a biodegradable oil such as squalene oil, in an amount of about 2.5% to about 15%, preferably about 8% to about 12%. In preparing the vaccine it is advantageous to combine a concentrated oily adjuvant composition with an aqueous solution of the antigen, pZP glycoprotein. Typically, the vaccine is prepared using an adjuvant concentrate which contains lecithin (about 5% to about 15 % wt/vol, preferably about 12% wt/vol) and STDCM (preferably about 25 mg/mL to about 50 mg/mL) in squalene oil. The term % wt/vol means grams per 100 mL of liquid. The aqueous solution containing the isolated pZP glycoprotein is typically a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, and additionally preferably contains Tween 80 (about 0.2% vol/vol to about 0.8% vol/vol, preferably about 0.4% vol/vol).’”

That is, American children and all those taking the flu vaccine are being subjected without their knowing to a sterilizing agent. Put more bluntly, Americans are being subjected to compulsory sterilization under the cover of “health.”

The pharmaceutical industry was experimenting on Auschwitz prisoners to develop just such vaccines, ones that could be given at routine doctor’s appointments that would sterilize covertly. From Have Rabbis Forgotten the Experiments on Jewish Women at Auschwitz?

“Auschwitz was the largest and one of the most infamous of the camps and the site of numerous ‘medical’ experiments. This historical study uses primary source documents obtained from archives in England and Germany to describe one type of experiment carried out at Auschwitz — the sterilization experiments…

“The purpose of these experiments was to perfect a technique in which non-Aryans could be prevented from reproducing while still being able to work as slave laborers. ….

“Dr Adolf Pokorny, a Nazi physician wrote to Himmler in October 1941: ‘Should we succeed in obtaining a method, permitting as quickly as possible to sterilize people without their knowledge, then we would get hold of a new, most effective weapon.’”

“In July 1942 Lieutenant General Rudolf Brandt, Himmler’s personal advisor (Strzelecka 1996), contacted Clauberg, asking on behalf of Himmler, [how long it would take] to sterilize 1000 Jewesses. The Jewesses themselves should not know anything about it. As the SS Reich Leader [Himmler] understands it, you could give the appropriate injection during a general examination.

Wikipedia’s background on Compulsory sterilization in the US:

“The United States was the first country to concertedly undertake compulsory sterilization programs for the purpose of eugenics.>[33] The heads of the program were avid believers in eugenics and frequently argued for their program. It was shut down due to ethical problems. The principal targets of the American program were the mentally retarded and the mentally ill, but also targeted under many state laws were the deaf, the blind, people with epilepsy, and the physically deformed. According to the activist Angela Davis, Native Americans, as well as African-American women>[34] were sterilized against their will in many states, often without their knowledge while they were in a hospital for other reasons (e.g. childbirth). Some sterilizations took place in prisons and other penal institutions, targeting criminality, but they were in the relative [citation needed] minority. In the end, over 65,000 individuals were sterilized in 33 states under state compulsory sterilization programs in the United States.>[35]]>[36] ….

“After World War II, public opinion towards eugenics and sterilization programs became more negative in the light of the connection with the genocidal policies of Nazi Germany, though a significant number of sterilizations continued in a few states until the early 1960s. The Oregon Board of Eugenics, later renamed the Board of Social Protection, existed until 1983,>[41] with the last forcible sterilization occurring in 1981.>[42] The U.S. commonwealth Puerto Rico had a sterilization program as well. Some states continued to have sterilization laws on the books for much longer after that, though they were rarely if ever used. California sterilized more than any other state by a wide margin, and was responsible for over a third of all sterilization operations. Information about the California sterilization program was produced into book form and widely disseminated by eugenicists E.S. Gosney and Paul B. Popenoe, which was said by the government of Adolf Hitler to be of key importance in proving that large-scale compulsory sterilization programs were feasible.>[43] In recent years, the governors of many states have made public apologies for their past programs beginning with Virginia and followed by Oregon>[41] and California. None have offered to compensate those sterilized, however, citing that few are likely still living (and would of course have no affected offspring) and that inadequate records remain by which to verify them.

“Thus, without question, the CDC’s mandatory child vaccine schedule requires that American children be exposed to a sterilizing agent, not just once but between 60 to 70 times (and more if more vaccines are mandated) over the course of their childhood, and this toxic assault on their bodies begins on the day of birth.”

Parents not only have the right to philosophical objection to any or all vaccines, but most certainly have the right to informed consent. All of the mandated vaccines for their children must include information that polysorbate 80 is a sterilizing agent and one that is “preferred” as such in a pharmaceutical industry patent, and therefore deemed effective.

Parents in all states have the right to protect their children from being compulsorily sterilized in this deceptive manner. This is a criminal assault on their children’s bodies. In truth, parents should give this attack an even more seriously criminal label, because “imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group” meets the UN”s definition of genocide.

2. Any child in the US who is vaccinated with the new DNA vaccines and anyone taking the flu vaccine is having their DNA being contaminated with patented GMOs.

Those being vaccinated with the new DNA vaccines are automatically turning their “intellectual property” over their own DNA over to the vaccine manufacturers by allowing that DNA to be contaminated. The vaccines replicate how seeds are genetically engineered (patented GMOs are shot into the DNA), permanently corrupting it. But putting aside the damage to DNA, there is a undeniable commercial issue here. NONE of the legal issues of intellectual property rights over the DNA have been mentioned much less settled. What claims might the vaccine companies (or government which shares patents with it) make over the child’s “patent-tagged” blood, organs, etc. since patented DNA would be in all of it? Given the aggressive actions of Monsanto, a biotech company, against farmers whose fields were contaminated – involuntarily – by Monsanto’s patented intellectual property via pollen drift, and Monsanto’s refusal to say they will not sue those who were unwillingly contaminated, there is no reason to believe that the vaccine industry, biotech companies, will behave any differently. In fact, there is already action in Colorado to show how the drug companies may behave around control over what is in someone’s body.

According to the FDA (which is controlled by the drug companies), adult stem cells are now drugs and the government claims the right to regulate them. How much more assertive would biotech companies behave when what is in people’s body includes patented material?

Parents in Vermont have been arguing uphill against bogus “health” demands put forward by the vaccine industry. But this is a more simple argument. Parents in Vermont have the right to protect their child’s “commercial” interests from the biotech pharmaceutical industry, just as their farmers are working to protect their own commercial rights from the biotech giant, Monsanto.

This video of Daniel Ravicher, a patent lawyer, shows how ferociously the biotech industry is behaving around its patents. On Monsanto’s bags of GMO seeds is the following:

“Warning! Stop, these seeds are protected by our patents. You may only use these seeds in the ways that we allow you to. You can’t redistribute them to anyone else. …. You have to abide by our terms”

Ravicher explains the problem:

“Even if you don’t know you have been contaminated, once your property comes into possession of Monsanto’s seed, they can assert their patents against you and they have done so against others.”

Now, try a replay, substituting biotech’s patented GMOs in vaccines.

“Warning! Stop, these GMOs in your DNA are patented. You may only use this genetically modified DNA in the way we allow you to. You can’t redistribute them to anyone else. …. You have to abide by our terms.”

And Rachiver’s comments would apply to GMO vaccines.

“Even if you don’t know you have been contaminated, once your body comes into possession of pharma’s GMOs, they can assert their patents against you …. “

With the pharmaceutical industry vaccines, the comment should include the additional clause, “… even if you were denied informed consent and forced to be contaminated by government mandates and under false emergencies.”

Continuing from “Have Rabbis Forgotten …?“:

“Needless to say, giving untested, unknown vaccines is a “medical experiment” and violates the core principles of the Nuremberg – informed and unambiguous consent. Forcing people to take vaccines, whether by a proclaimed “emergency,” by a “public health” order from the WHO, or by threat of loss of rights over one’s children or of imprisonment, removes consent, as does giving vaccines to those unable by age or mental status to legally consent. “Informed,” as well, is hollowed of all meaning when people are tricked into taking vaccines by the use of false or frightening “information.” http://www.salem-news.com/articles/november072011/experiments-auschwitz-rg.php

The mandate around vaccines rests on the government argument that they prevent disease for the child taking the vaccines and provide herd immunity (protection for other children) and on the frightening “information” that the child could get polio or whooping cough or measles or hepatitis B and die. But the government argument is falling apart at every possible level. The vaccines are not preventing diseases, are causing paralysis and deaths, and increasing children’s risks.

From Sebelius, HHS Censor Vaccine Concerns, Produce ‘Fertility Impairing Vaccine’:
“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GAVI’s polio vaccines are causing mass paralysis in India and Pakistan and with a more deadly strain than natural polio; the pertussus vaccines are spreading pertussis via vaccinated populations and creating a more virulent strain; the measles vaccines aren’t working to protect against measles; the pentavalent vaccine is causing a high number of adverse events and deaths; Andrew Wakefield’s work on the MMR vaccine has been substantiated; and these are only the most recent stories showing up primarily in foreign media….

“Unlike conventional drug treatments meant for the management of existing diseases, in prophylaxis with vaccines, safety is of paramount importance. Vaccines that frequently and unpredictably cause the death of healthy children cannot be recommended [said Jacob Puliyel, an eminent paediatrician at St. Stephen’s hospital in New Delhi and member of the NTAGI - India's National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation] …. ” [Emphasis added.]

This list does not include the government’s concession that the Hepatitis B vaccine causes Lupus.

Vermont parents fought back but they left out of their arguments two criminal and undeniable ones – 1) mandated vaccines which include polysorbate 80 are compulsory sterilization (genocide); and 2) the insertion of patented material into children’s DNA without informing the parent and obtaining a legal release, is theft of their child’s ownership of their own DNA (theft of intellectual property by deceptive trade practices).

The Nuremberg Code was written to protect the world from the gruesome experiments performed on concentration camp prisoners by the pharmaceutical industry.  They industry sought a means to covertly sterilize those they wished to use merely as workers or slaves, and to take over control of the world.  The same industry is still covertly sterilizing.  And just as Monsanto is attempting to “own” food through patented intellectual property claims and is abetted by spread of its GMOs through contamination by pollen, vaccine-enforced DNA contamination through injecting patented GMOs into children’s DNA provides a means to take control of human DNA.  Here the companies are abetted in this human-DNA contamination not by pollen but by corrupt state legislators.

Those legislators are abetting both the covert compulsory sterilization of America’s children (genocide), and the deceptive take over by multinational corporations of the ownership of American children’s human DNA (biopiracy).  Vermont stood firm that parents decide.  But there must be “informed” consent and information on what is really happening with the vaccines has been missing since it is unlikely that parents in the US would allow their child to be vaccinated with vaccines that increase their risk of disease, sterilize them, and steal their legal rights to their own DNA.
People will boggle at all three pieces of information but with the last is the newest threat, the theft of human-DNA, and people will certainly ask “For what purpose?  In a Rense article in 2001 on the Bush administration’s deep ties to the pharmaceutical industry and to Nazi Germany, Robert Lederman describes the bizarre direction these corporations are going and why.

“When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies.” U.S. Representative Ron Paul
Jacob Puliyel, a pediatrician and a member of India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI), who helped expose Bill Gates and the WHO’s the mass number of vaccine-induced paralysis in India, does not dismiss those who have questions about vaccines as anti-vaccinationists, or say they are killing children, as Bill Gates did.  Quite the opposite.  Puliyel makes a direct link to the Holocaust and the danger of being obedient, and urges,

    “The world depends on 35% of those who are defiers–those who clearly see what is right and what is wrong. But they need to speak up, to protest, and to stand up for their ethical values. The future depends on you.”

Journalists detained in America-First Amendment?

Susan Brannon
19 April 2012

As of 7th of April 2012, 76 journalist in 12 cities have been arrested since the beginning of Occupy Wall Street in America. Reporters Without Borders rates the freedom of the press for countries in the world and the United States fell down to number 47 dropping by 27 points in their last freedom index report. 

In the video below on March 20th - 2012, the Chicago police were responding to an event which a young girl was killed in a shooting.  NBC reporters went to Mt. Sinai Hospital to cover the story and either the security police or police asked them to move.  They moved to the middle of the road onto the median.  When asked about the first amendment, the police or guard did not care.  The situation was recorded on video. He said, "Your first amendment right can be terminated if you create a scene."  "We have not created a scene." "Your presence creates a scene" He went on the walke talkie, and asked if he can arrest them, then turned around and said to the reporters,  "Pull out your arms, we're putting the cuffs on."



Amy Goodman a leading investigate journalist for Democracy Now, was also arrested.  I do not know the details of this particular arrest, but Amy Goodman is well known in revealing "untruths" in regards to our governments and corporate functions.


It seems to me that once the occupy protests started, the police in different cities were "testing" the reactions of the people and the government in arresting reporting journalists.  I say this because after the arrests, there was minimal coverage and little reaction from the citizens or the local state and federal governments.   If the reactions are few and the courts approve the arrests, then the police will feel that it is possible to continue ignoring the first amendment rights and law of the constitution of the United States of America. By arresting the journalist, they can destroy any evidence that is involved in civil rights and human rights or justice obstructions for the American citizens.

Disqualifying the First amendment is no little matter, once this can be approved and occur in America then the American citizens will loose just about any "right" that they may have.  Journalists, are to provide information to the public about events that occur in their communities.  Without reporting, then the media becomes more and  more censored and the population will have less knowledge regarding the realities of the events in their communities.  Another problem occurs and that is; induced fear.  Arresting reporters for doing their jobs, re-defines "what events the reporters can cover". Some reporters may chose not to cover important events that are focused on civil rights or activist protests, because they will fear being arrested. Not one journalist that I know wants to be arrested, harassed, beaten, put in jail or added to a terrorists list.  They have mouths to feed and bills to pay and in reality, only want to do their work.  I have spoken with many independent journalists and main stream journalists who are concerned for their safety while attending events in America.  The safety depends on the "mood" of the police and his/her mindset.  Normally, there have not been any warnings of possible arrest, they have been grabbed and then handcuffed.  The event could be peaceful, tense, it does not seem to matter.

I have some video examples (below) of reporters arrested while filming public meetings.  The meeting was not a demonstration,  march or protest but a simple meeting and the reporter was arrested.  In reality, he was not arrested for any reason, he was making a documentary film...plain and simple.

If this continues, it is possible that the Americans will slowly loose all rights and the country can easily lean towards  Fascism.  Fascism promotes political violence and war and rejects liberal democracy.  To achieve its goals, the fascist state purges forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.  For example, those in the occupy protests and then those who report the news.

The First amendment prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

In many cases, the reporters are "reporting" in Occupy, they were not the "protesters" but recording the demonstrations through video, writing, or photography and were doing their jobs, this is clearly both the "freedom of speech" and "freedom of the press" while the protesters have the "right to peaceably assemble" All three rights in this case has been ignored.

 The video below was taken on 18 November 2011, at about the same time of the increased arrests of the reporters.  This was truly a peaceful demonstration of UC Davis Students on their campus.  They were sitting and chanting while the police dressed in their garb, stood in the middle of the "sit-in".



 As the protests continued throughout the winter in America, more and more reporters were either harassed or arrested while filming.
A reporter was pepper sprayed and had her camera taken away 12 January 2012:



Occupy Arrests: 
New York- three freelance reporters were arrested, they lacked the "proper" credentials for the City of New York.
New York -  November 15, 2011 - AP writer Karen Matthews and AP photographer Seth Wenig were arrested while covering protests at a property in lower Manhattan. During the same demonstration, Freelance radio journalist Julie Walker was arrested.
Oakland, November 3, 2011- Freelance journalist was held for 15 hours and made fun of her press pass.
Nashville - October 29, 2011 - Reporter Jonathan Meadlor was arrested with a group of protesters.
Richmond - October 31, 2011 ; Ian Graham a photographer was arrested on charges of trespassing on a public street while photographing the occupy event.
Milwaukee- November 2, 2011- Photoreporter Kristyna Wentz-Graff was arrested while photographing the occupy protest while the police were arresting the protesters and was grabbed and arrested.  The list goes on....

Interesting enough, the crackdown on the First Amendment has been going on for quite some time.  In 2009, The United states detained a Reuters cameraman without charges while he was one of many journalists jailed by the United States in Iraq.  Since 2001, the United States has jailed 13 foreign reporters in Afghanistan and iraq for several weeks on foreign soil.  The soldiers take the computer drives, camera and lead them away blindfolded and in handcuffs, according the the LA Times.  Ibrahim Jassam, the Reuters cameramans case ws reviewed by the Iraqi court and found no evidence to detain him and ordered his release.  However, America responded that he is a "security threat" and will remain in detention.

Rogue Economics explained, grab a cup of tea and sit down to watch.

Capitalism and Slavery- Rogue Economics

This is an interview on Democracy Now with a genial Italian economists Loretta Napoleoni. She explains why there is a current economic crisis, both in America and in Europe in a nutshell. The theory of Rogue Economics helps to put our situation into a different perspective in an intelligent and understanding manner.

Former Bank Employees Speak Out - Interviews

Former credit card department bank employees speak out regarding unethical credit card bank practices and incentives for the employees to make more money by gearing the customers into programs that are more profitable for the banks. They were encouraged to target the women and not the men to make these decisions. Even when the spouse tells the bank that their husband is serving overseas, they were told not to tell the customer about lower interest rates.

The Truth About Fraud and Bank of America Foreclosure

This video is spoken by Florida congressman Alan Grayson. He provides examples of the frauds and explains how the fraud works in true life events. He speaks against the power of the banks over the power of the people. He talks about robo-signers, false signatures, 60% of the U.S. mortgages are processed through the Bank of America. Courts have refused to believe that the robo-signers exist. He shows examples of the forged signatures. Factories of Fraud. The banks makes their money from foreclosures, not customers services; that is a $6,000 dollar profit.

Why Bank of America Fired Me

A women speaks about her personal experience as a customer service agent. She share how uncomfortable she was doing the things that they were requiring her to do in her job. She talks about the 29.99% interest rates for low income Americans. The $39.00 late fees and $39.00 over the limit fee and $15.00 inconvenience fee and how she had to deny those who did not make enough money to get on a lower interest rate, lower monthly requirement program.

G8 Genova- Testimony


Anonymous - quoted text
Victim Report- Anonymous

Quoted text: "A man reportedly being a doctor looked into my eyes and looked me over.
In seconds, he slapped me on the face and said something to his comrades in Italian. They took me roughly up the steps with my handcuffs into this building.   It was not a police station or jail.  I do not know what or where it was or why I was taken there. Once inside the door a particularly vicious man proceeded to  beat me to my knees with punches and kicks. I was then dragged to a hall with handcuffs where I received further beatings by an individuals normally dressed and in police uniforms. I was driven to the fetal position to the ground to protect my head and groin area and the individual continued to beat me. He would stomp on my entire body, he stomped down with great force and after a few minutes he stopped and left.


In the cell I was brought into, there were two or three individuals where receiving beatings by policemen.  Everywhere there was excessive shouting and screaming in Italian by the cabineeri and others and those being beaten.  They started shouting in Italian at me, and because I don't speak Italian I did not understand. I then realized that they wanted me to remove my clothes as other prisoners were doing they forced me to strip and made me stand spread eagle against the wall naked. I felt vulnerable and absolutely terrified. The shouting continued except for this time from behind, when I turned my head around they slapped me and indicated that I was to look at the wall by smashing my face against it. The shouting and screaming continued as did blows to my arms. ribs, back and legs and I never knew whether their shouts were directed at me. After a few minutes, I was directed to squat to the ground. They forced me to stand up, squat down, stand up squat down around eleven times.  Every-time I squatted down, I had the fear that they placed something under me or inserted into my rectum. Fortunately, nothing was and after a further two or three minutes of standing against the wall I was led to put my clothes back on and was made to put my face against the wall and stand spread eagle.

The next 10 or 11 hours I was made to stand spread eagle except when they took me to take fingerprints, mug shots and a high tech computer scan of my head. I was forced to sign unknown documents without any explanation.
I was taken out of the building and into an adjoining building which was like a warehouse with computers and high tech machinery and professional looking people including women working in the bar.  I thought maybe there was some journalists or lawyers or senior police officers who once again would ask me of my innocence, telling them how I was not a violent protester and I was a business professional and the police were beating me.
I was sat down at a table with women in white coats, she asked me if I speak Italian and I said no. I confirmed to her who I was and asked if I could contact my embassy or lawyer.  She said I couldn't and asked me sign  various documents in Italian. I asked her what did they say and she said that it was not important and it would be "easier" if I signed. 

Given my state of mind, I was still hyperventilating, I decided it would be safer to sign.  So I did sign this and many other documents.  On the computer I saw that there was a file with some sort of information on me such as what countries I had been in, on what holiday and what music, CD's and magazines that I had purchased by credit card over the internet.  I became completely overwhelmed thinking that they were going to set me up for some crime.  When they looked for further hand prints, I said that I would give them only if I spoke to a lawyer. The policemen who had hit me on the side of my leg, hit me on my head and I collapsed to the ground in great pain.  I begged again to see a lawyer the policemen along with two others began to drag me along the floor into another building. I shouted okay, okay, okay I would continue with the process.

This I did and upon completion, I was taken outside and made to wash my hands. Here a different man dressed in a Tie-dyed t-shirt with a beard slapped me across the face and handcuffed my hands just to show me who was boss. He then pulled me back towards the main body of the cell. Upon entering the building I saw the corridor lined with both uniformed and non uniformed people. He dragged me down the corridor and every, if not every, man either kicked me or slapped me. Given the fact that nearly all of them assaulted me I realized that the place was out of control. Shear panic started repeating over and over and over. I started shouting Peace Peace Peace in the hopes that they would realize that I was a normal person and that they would stop beating me.

I think it was around five or six pm and the heat was still intense, at no time were given water or food or allowed to go to the toilet. The state of affairs continued after 1am.  The beatings stopped in our cell but continued in others with shouting, and screaming, kicking and laughing.  If we let our arms to the side we were shouted at, we had to keep our legs and arms in the spread eagle position and individuals were beaten again. After many hours of this most of us began to spasm, seize, I was physically and mentally shattered. Many started to have hallucinations on the floor or on the wall. At one stage after I arrived home, I broke down and lost all faith in humanity. I was in a living hell in a place in society where those who were the protectors, took the pleasure in brutalizing and giving pain."
