 Share Link:               Wikileaks.org, over the past few months, has released some of the most damning evidence yet against theongoing occuptions in Iraq and Afghanistan.Collateral Murder (released April 5, 2010)Collateral Murder is the military's own video of 12 Iraqis being shot and killed from a UShelicopter circling above. No one has been charged in connection withthese killings. However, 22 yr. old Pfc. Bradley Manninghas been held incommunicado on military bases for several months now,suspected of leaking this incriminating video to Wikileaks. World Can'tWait is distributing copies of this harrowing video so that many morepeople in the US see what is being done in their names. For a copy, write to us.

I am in Killeen, TX at Under The Hood Cafe near the Fort Hood military base tonight. I am down here for the protests happening onSunday being called by the Disobedient. The Disobedient is made up of Iraq era war vets and others anti- war activists, mainly young people. These protests are going to includevisible non-violent resistance to the 3,000 troop surge being headed toIraq. They are acting to create a situation where the U.S. cannotcontinue this illegitimate and illegal war - that deployments not onlystop but that the military withdraws immediately. This town is really intense. It is about 100 degrees outside and incredibly humid. There is a whole military culture throughout the townthat is shaped by unthinking allegiance to the military, and anobsession with the American flag. I have been told that Christianfundamentalism has a firm hold on most people. It is also verydepressing with nothing but strip clubs, bars and fast food chains. Themajority of people here are employed by the military. Some local youthtold me that they have heard reactionary people say that the namestands for Kill Each And Every N*****. I spent the day at Under The Hood Cafe, which is a GI coffeehouse run by anti-war Iraq veterans and others. It was a day of debate anddiscussion, with all of us thinking very deeply about how we can stopthese wars and what should our message be to the people of the world?One Iraq veteran spoke about orders he received to break down the doorsof families and the internal turmoil he went through when he was toldto search an innocent woman's underwear drawer. He got the word “Human”tattooed on his arm after he got out of the military. I talked to ayoung woman who is in her early 20's and did 2 tours of Iraq. She saidthat one of the first things she did when she got out of the militarywas to dye her hair pink. I have a hard time picturing her and any ofthese other people in the military because they have a great deal ofhumanity. She has a lot of urgency to stop these wars and refreshingrefusal to accept the world as it is. She talks about how she wishedthere was some kind of switch you could turn on in people to make themsee the crimes that the military is committing. Many who are here aredealing with pretty heavy PTSD and have trouble sleeping. They talkabout how their bodies have been forever changed by being in themilitary. Those participating in Sunday's action are filled with a deepdesire to tell the truth to people living in this country and people inthe military. |

1. THE NSA'SMISSION AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE OPERATION
The above symptomshighlight a fraction of the vast array of 2. NSA'SDOMESTIC ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE NETWORK At the present time the NSA hasnanotechnology computers that are 15 years ahead of present computertechnology. The NSA obtains blanket coverage of information in theUS by using advanced computers that use artificial intelligence toscreen all communications, regardless of medium, for key words thatshould be brought to the attention of NSA agents/cryptologists. These computers monitor allcommunications at the transmitting and receiving ends. This blanketcoverage of the US is a result of the NSA's Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)mission. The NSA's electronic surveillance network is based on acellular arrangement of devices that can monitor the entire EMF(electromagnetic frequency)spectrum. This equipment was developed, implemented and kept secretin the same manner as other electronic warfare programs.
3. NSA SIGNALSINTELLIGENCE USE OF EMF BRAIN STIMULATION EMF BrainStimulation has been in development since theMKULTRA program of theearly 1950s, which included neurological research into radiation(non-ionizing EMF) and bioelectric research and development. Theresulting secret technology is categorized at the National SecurityArchives as "Radiation Intelligence", defined as,
Signals Intelligence implemented andkept this technology secret in the same manner as other electronicwarfare programs of the US Government. The NSA monitors availableinformation about this technology and withholds scientific researchfrom the public. There are also international intelligenceagreements to keep this technology secret. NSA operativescan use this surreptitiously to put images into a surveillancesubject's brain while they are in REM sleep for brain-programmingpurposes.
The above is a simpleflowchart of Nuero-Electromagnetic Frequency Assaults showing methods thatcan be perpetuated by the Police and Military Intelligence Agencies toward Remote MindControl Experiments, Behavioural Manipulation and Murder. 4. NATIONALSECURITY AGENCY SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE ELECTRONIC BRAIN LINKTECHNOLOGY NSA SIGINT can remotely detect, identifyand monitor a person's bioelectric fields. Containedin the electromagnetic emission from the brain are spikes and patternscalled "evoked potentials". Every thought, reaction, motor command,auditory event and visual image in the brain has a corresponding"evoked potential" or set of "evoked potentials". The EMF emission fromthe brain can be decoded into the current thoughts, images and soundsin the subject's brain. It is used by a limitednumber of agents in the US Intelligence Community.
The above is a simpleflowchart of Nuero-Electromagnetic Frequency Assaults showing methods thatcan be perpetuated by the Police and Military Intelligence Agenciestoward 5. [NO HEADINGIN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT] That frequency is then modulated in order to imposeinformation in that specific brain area. The frequency to which thevarious brain areas respond varies from 3 Hz to 50 Hz. Only NSASignals Intelligence modulates signals in this frequency band. (SeeTable 1 below) This modulated information can be putinto the brain at varying intensities from subliminal toperceptible. Each person's brain has a unique set of bioelectricresonance/entrainment frequencies. Sending audio information to aperson's brain at the frequency of another person's auditory cortexwould result in that audio information not being perceived. Theyhave also brain-tapped persons the Plaintiff is in contact with tokeep the Plaintiff isolated. This is the first time ever that aprivate citizen has been harassed with RNM and has been able tobring a lawsuit against NSA personnel misusing this intelligenceoperations method.
6. NSATECHNIQUES AND RESOURCES A system forinexpensive implementation of these operations allows for thousandsof persons in every community to be spied on constantly by the NSA.
Editor's Note: I tried ringing MrAkwei to find out what was the out-come, if any, of his court case.He firmly but kindly told me that he could not speak about anythingto do with the case over the phone and hung up. A subsequentconversation of similar length resulted in the information that hedid not wish his address or phone number published with thisarticle. So, if we hear of any developments, we'll let you know.

A victory for privacy!
August 6, 2010 at 6:06 pm by Amy E. FerrerToday, the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit issued a ruling that standsstrongly on the side of privacy and against government intrusion. Fromthe Electronic Frontier Foundation:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today firmly rejected government claims that federal agentshave an unfettered right to install Global Positioning System (GPS)location-tracking devices on anyone’s car without a search warrant. …
“The court correctly recognized the important differences between limited surveillance of public activities possible through visualsurveillance or traditional ‘bumper beepers,’ and the sort of extended,invasive, pervasive, always-on tracking that GPS devices allow,” saidEFF Civil Liberties Director Jennifer Granick. “This same logic appliesin cases of cell phone tracking, and we hope that this decision will befollowed by courts that are currently grappling with the question ofwhether the government must obtain a warrant before using your cellphone as a tracking device.”
“GPS tracking enables the police to know when you visit your doctor, your lawyer, your church, or your lover,” said Arthur Spitzer, LegalDirector of the ACLU-NCA. “And if many people are tracked, GPS datawill show when and where they cross paths. Judicial supervision of thispowerful technology is essential if we are to preserve individualliberty. Today’s decision helps brings the Fourth Amendment into the21st Century.”

Illegal Activity Would Violate Nuremberg Code and Could Open Door to Prosecution
Press release from Physicians for Human Rights
In the most comprehensive investigation to date of health professionals’involvement in the CIA’s “enhanced” interrogation program (EIP),Physicians For Human Rights has uncovered evidence that indicates theBush administration apparently conducted illegal and unethical humanexperimentation and research on detainees in CIA custody.
The apparent experimentation and research appear to have been performed to providelegal cover for torture, as well as to help justify and shape futureprocedures and policies governing the use of the “enhanced”interrogation techniques.
The PHR report, Experiments in Torture: Human Subject Research and Evidence of Experimentation in the ‘Enhanced’ Interrogation Program, is the first to provide evidence that CIA medical personnel engaged inthe crime of illegal experimentation after 9/11, in addition to thepreviously disclosed crime of torture.
This evidence indicating apparent research and experimentation on detainees opens thedoor to potential additional legal liability for the CIA and Bush-eraofficials. There is no publicly available evidence that the Departmentof Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel determined that the allegedexperimentation and research performed on detainees was lawful, as itdid with the “enhanced” techniques themselves.
“The CIA appears to have broken all accepted legal and ethical standards put inplace since the Second World War to protect prisoners from being thesubjects of experimentation,” said Frank Donaghue, PHR’s ChiefExecutive Officer. “Not only are these alleged acts gross violations ofhuman rights law, they are a grave affront to America’s core values.”
Physicians for Human Rights demands that President Obama direct the Attorney Generalto investigate these allegations, and if a crime is found to have beencommitted, prosecute those responsible. Additionally, Congress mustimmediately amend the War Crimes Act (WCA) to remove changes made tothe WCA in 2006 by the Bush Administration that allow a more permissivedefinition of the crime of illegal experimentation on detainees in UScustody.
The more lenient 2006 language of the WCA was made retroactive to all acts committed by US personnel since 1997.
“In their attempt to justify the war crime of torture, the CIA appears to havecommitted another alleged war crime – illegal experimentation onprisoners,” said Nathaniel A. Raymond, Director of PHR’s CampaignAgainst Torture and lead report author. “Justice Department lawyersappear to never have assessed the lawfulness of the alleged research ondetainees in CIA custody, despite how essential it appears to have beento their legal cover for torture.”
PHR’s report, Experiments in Torture, is relevant to present-day national security interrogations, as well as Bush-era detainee treatment policies.
As recently as February, 2010, President Obama’s then director of nationalintelligence, Admiral Dennis Blair, disclosed that the US hadestablished an elite interrogation unit that will conduct “scientificresearch” to improve the questioning of suspected terrorists. AdmiralBlair declined to provide important details about this effort.
“If health professionals participated in unethical human subject research andexperimentation they should be held to account,” stated Scott A. Allen,MD, a medical advisor to Physicians for Human Rights and lead medicalauthor of the report. “Any health professional who violates theirethical codes by employing their professional expertise to calibrateand study the infliction of harm disgraces the health profession andmakes a mockery of the practice of medicine.”
Several prominent individuals and organizations in addition to PHR will file acomplaint this week with the US Department of Health and HumanServices’ Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) and call for anOHRP investigation of the CIA’s Office of Medical Services.
The PHR report indicates that there is evidence that health professionals engaged inresearch on detainees that violates the Geneva Conventions, The CommonRule, the Nuremberg Code and other international and domesticprohibitions against illegal human subject research andexperimentation. Declassified government documents indicate that:
- Research and medical experimentation on detainees was used to measure theeffects of large- volume waterboarding and adjust the procedureaccording to the results. After medical monitoring and advice, the CIAexperimentally added saline, in an attempt to prevent putting detaineesin a coma or killing them through over-ingestion of large amounts ofplain water. The report observes: “‘Waterboarding 2.0’ was the productof the CIA’s developing and field-testing an intentionally harmfulpractice, using systematic medical monitoring and the application ofsubsequent generalizable knowledge.”
- Health professionals monitored sleep deprivation on more than a dozendetainees in 48-, 96- and 180-hour increments. This research wasapparently used to monitor and assess the effects of varying levels ofsleep deprivation to support legal definitions of torture and to planfuture sleep deprivation techniques.
- Health professionals appear to have analyzed data, based on their observationsof 25 detainees who were subjected to individual and combinedapplications of “enhanced” interrogation techniques, to determinewhether one type of application over another would increase thesubject’s “susceptibility to severe pain.” The alleged research appearsto have been undertaken only to assess the legality of the “enhanced”interrogation tactics and to guide future application of the techniques.
Experiments in Torture: Human Subject Research and Experimentation in the ‘Enhanced’ Interrogation Programis the most in-depth expert review to date of the legal and medicalethics issues concerning health professionals’ involvement inresearching, designing and supervising the CIA’s “enhanced”interrogation program. The Experiments in Torturereport is the result of six months of investigation and the review ofthousands of pages of government documents. It has been peer-reviewedby outside experts in the medical, biomedical and research ethicsfields, legal experts, health professionals and experts in thetreatment of torture survivors.
The lead author for this report was Nathaniel Raymond, Director of the Campaign AgainstTorture, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and the lead medical authorwas Scott Allen, MD, Co-Director of the Center for Prisoner Health andHuman Rights at Brown University and Medical Advisor to PHR. They werejoined in its writing by Vincent Iacopino, MD, PhD, PHR Senior MedicalAdvisor; Allen Keller, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, NYU Schoolof Medicine, Director, Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture;Stephen Soldz, PhD, President-elect of Psychologists for SocialResponsibility and Director of the Center for Research, Evaluation andProgram Development at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis;Steven Reisner, PhD, PHR Advisor on Ethics and Psychology; and JohnBradshaw, JD, PHR Chief Policy Officer and Director of PHR’s WashingtonOffice.
The report was extensively peer reviewed by leading experts in related medical, legal,ethical and governmental fields addressed in the document.
