The majority of U.S. prisoners are there due to the drug war!

Jonathan Magbie. The brutal U.S. prison state continues via the institutional racism of both the drug war and cannabis/drug reformers. Universal healthcare and harm reduction are preferable. Holland's safe cannabis cafes. Also; safe prescription heroin/cocaine using the Swiss bureaucratic model of addict registration, counseling, and paperwork. It takes the attractive gangster glamour out of addictive hard drug use. People live long enough to quit on their own. Swiss property crime rates have plummeted where implemented. Healthcare, welfare,  workfare, and higher minimum wages cost less than prisons, courts, and police to control neighborhoods ruined by the drug trade. Many cops are against the drug war. Support LEAP.
The U.S. trains, equips, and finances racist drug-war death squads, as against the Akha in Thailand. 
Abu Ghraib = racist Phoenix Program terror.
World sanctions against bigoted, U.S.-aided, Israeli occupation terror and apartheid will end the world war. No justice, no peace!

 



Stop corporatist Republicrat EVIL! The Texas Big Oil, Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical Complex!

Racist Texas
leads the world with 4.6% of Texas adults in prison or jail, or on probation or parole!

"Nearly half a million people are now behind bars [in USA] for non-violent drug law violations -- that's more than all of Western Europe, with a larger population, incarcerates for everything!" - Drug Policy Alliance. Sept. 2003 mail.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." ~ An anonymous analysis of Benito Mussolini's fascism in Italy.

Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1816: "I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Corporatism quotes.

 
Most of the world's problems could be solved by lowering the Earth's population over time. One child per woman would achieve this. Nations with high population density (as in China, India, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, Holland, Germany, England) are experiencing severe problems.
In the meantime the citizens of most nations would do better, and be happier, if they had sustainable, livable economies with universal single-payer healthcare (which costs less due to preventive medicine), higher minimum wages (which lessens boom/bust cycles), and graduated taxation and lower overall taxes (recycles wealth without over-taxation).

Save U.S. soldiers' lives by withdrawing to a few big bases in Kurdistan and Kuwait where U.S. protection is welcome. This will also protect the world's oil supplies, and lower tensions greatly. Let Iraqis run Iraq.
"The most recent evidence comes from autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force injuries.' ...  A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke [spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations." -Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36.
Axis of EVIL: USA, Israel, and Iran are wannabe theocracies. U.S. drug-war ads say drugs fund terrorism. The truth is that people like EVIL Texan, Armageddonist, George W. Bush support the funding and arming of EVIL fundamentalist Israeli settler expansion, terrorism, land theft, and murder of people like American Rachel Corrie (photo higher up) in Gaza and the West Bank in occupied Palestine. It is an EVIL Bush-led, fundamentalist, U.S. Death Cult of Big Oil! Working with hate radio, hate TV, and the disinfo of EVIL moron pundits at Fox News and much of corporatist Big Media.

 

With less than 5% of world population; USA has over 2.3 million of 9 million world prisoners!

INTRODUCTION. [TopLink]

This web page covers the U.S. Phoenix Program (also called Phung Hoang) of death squads and torture during the Vietnam War. This page will also cover similar programs in Southeast Asia before or during the same time period as the Phoenix Program (1967-1975).

*Phoenix Program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Program

*November, 2002 article. Return of the Phoenix. Interview of Douglas Valentine. "Phoenix was a totally illegal program that violated the rules of war. It cost millions of dollars. According to the CIA, 25,000 people were assassinated. The Vietnamese say 40,000 were killed. My sources say the death toll was close to 250,000."

There is a great 2003 book on Vietnam called "Patriots" that is filled with 135 accounts from men and women on all sides of the Southeast Asia wars. Recalling their experiences from the 1940s to the 1970s. The book has gotten rave reviews. "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."
http://www.google.com/search?q=patriots+book+vietnam

"The problem was, how do you find the people on the blacklist? It's not like you had their address and telephone number. The normal procedure would be to go into a village and just grab someone and say, 'Where's Nguyen so-and-so?' Half the time the people were so afraid they would say anything. Then a Phoenix team would take the informant, put a sandbag over his head, poke out two holes so he could see, put commo wire around his neck like a long leash, and walk him through the village and say, 'When we go by Nguyen's house scratch your head.' Then that night Phoenix would come back, knock on the door, and say, 'April Fool, motherfucker.' Whoever answered the door would get wasted. As far as they were concerned whoever answered was a Communist, including family members. Sometimes they'd come back to camp with ears to prove that they killed people."
-- Vincent Okamoto, combat officer (Lieutenant) in Vietnam in 1968, and recipient of Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest award conferred by the U.S. Army. Wounded 3 times. He was also an intelligence liaison officer for the Phoenix Program for 2 months in 1968. Quote is from page 361 of the hardback 2003 first edition of the book "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

"Phung Hoang [a mythical Vietnamese omnipresent bird of prey] was the first comprehensive system of rump legality, kidnapping, torture, and assassination ever designed and run by the United States. ... Commenced in late 1967 [ironically after the 1967 'Summer of Love' in the USA!], the [CIA] Agency's Phung Hoang lasted in one form or another until the very end of the war [April 1975]."
- - From the book "Our War," by David Harris, 1996, p.100, [bracketed] info, and emphasis, added. Quote describes Phoenix Program.

[Quote begins. Emphasis added] "These things" included: rape, gang rape, rape using eels, snakes, or hard objects, and rape followed by murder; electrical shock ("the Bell Telephone Hour") rendered by attaching wires to the genitals or other sensitive parts of the body, like the tongue; "the water treatment"; "the airplane," in which a prisoner's arms were tied behind the back and the rope looped over a hook on the ceiling, suspending the prisoner in midair, after which he or she was beaten; beatings with rubber hoses and whips; and the use of police dogs to maul prisoners. All this and more occurred in PICs [Province Intelligence Coordinating Committees], one of which was run by Congressman Rob Simmons (R-CT) while he was the CIA officer running the PIC in Phu Yen Province in 1972.

*May 15, 2004. Douglas Valentine article: ABCs of CIA Interrogation Methods. The Phoenix Program, Revisited.

In Vietnam Democrat and Republican U.S. Presidents Johnson and Nixon tried to convince and/or coerce southern Vietnamese to fight for the US-supported pseudo-democracy. The USA ignored the 1954 Geneva Accords between the French and the Vietnamese calling for a free election for President in 1956, because Ho Chi Minh would have won by a landslide in an honest free election. Instead, the USA propped up a brutal dictatorial rigged-election death-squad police-state regime in the South that via the CIA's Phoenix Program (1967-75) rounded up, imprisoned, and brutally tortured hundreds of thousands. It executed tens of thousands summarily without trial, or by death squads and assassination.

     "The [U.S.] congressmen entered and saw stone compartments five feet wide, nine feet long, and six feet high. Access to the tiger cages was gained by climbing steps to a catwalk, then looking down between iron grates. From three to five men were shackled to the floor in each cage. All were beaten, some mutilated. Their legs were withered, and they scuttled like crabs across the floor, begging for food, water, and mercy. Some cried. Others told of having lime buckets, which sat ready above each cage, emptied upon them."

More Vietnam quotes. [TopLink]

Emphasis has been added to these quotes.

"At some point my friends and I began to ask, how can a country that produced hippies and such cool people also fight a war and kill people and act cruelly? You would see American GMC trucks go by and soldiers reaching down to whack a girl riding a bicycle. They would yank at her hat and she would get thrown and she would die. You would see Americans do this and feel like they can do anything in our country. But then you'd take an English class with an American soldier from Ohio who seemed just as nice as anyone, yet he was a soldier too."
-- Nguyen Qui Duc, South Vietnamese now living in the USA. From page 297 of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

I remember a helicopter pilot in the Delta who said, "I must've shot up fifteen, twenty sampans and you shoulda seen those little mothers jump in the water. I got most of them." I said, "Were they VC [Viet Cong]?" He said, "Who the fuck cares?"
-- Frank Maguire, officer in Vietnam, 1965-71. From page 444 of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

"The Diem government had many public executions. A lot of people in the West denied that it happened but Diem made no bones about it. They advertised the executions and there were pictures in the paper of people getting their heads chopped off by a guillotine. ... In 1959, when I went around with the map teams there were many military outposts where they summarily chopped off the heads of people they thought were Communists. They put the heads on stakes right in front of their outposts, sometimes with two cigarettes up the nostrils. They even invited people to take pictures of it. They were very proud of themselves."
-- Ngo Vinh Long, South Vietnamese living in the USA. From page 58 of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

We pulverized villages from the air if we merely imagined that we received hostile fire. I witnessed it with my own eyes and I saw the leaflets we dropped which said, "If you fire on us, we will destroy your village," and then a follow-up leaflet that said, "You did fire on us, and we did destroy your village." And U.S. planes were actually bombing churches. They would see the church, target it, and blow it up. I saw that happen.
-- Jonathan Schell, author of many books. Reporter in Vietnam 1966-67. From page 206 of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

"Then we saw a young girl about twenty years old lying in the grass. We could see that she was unarmed and wounded in the chest. We marked her with smoke because we saw a squad not too far away. The smoke was green meaning it's safe to approach. Red would have meant the opposite We were hovering six feet off the ground not more than twenty feet away when Captain Medina came over, kicked her, stepped back, and finished her off. He did it right in front of us. When we saw Medina do that, it all clicked. It was our guys doing the killing"
-- Larry Colburn, helicopter door-gunner, describing one killing March 16, 1968 during the hours-long massacre of over 500 civilians at My Lai, Vietnam. Account is from page 347 of the great 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides." Page 343: "They never received a single round of hostile fire."

In 1940, when he was eight, many of his neighbors joined the resistance against the French. One day, some of them were arrested. "They were tied together with a steel wire pierced through their palms and led away." 
-- Nguyen Quang Sang. A Vietnamese. From page 215 of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

"This was especially true in the South, the site of almost all ground combat, where every province endured firefights, bombing, and military occupation, where at least half of all the hamlets were destroyed by war's end."
-- Christian G. Appy, author of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides." From page 102.

Starting in 1959 the Diem government began creating "agrovilles." ... In 1961, the agrovilles were renamed "strategic hamlets," but it was basically the same program. ... One day I entered a village by the name of Ka Rom where highlanders had been regrouped into a strategic hamlet. They said two hundred people had starved to death in the past month. I knew they were telling the truth just by looking at them."
-- Ngo Vinh Long, South Vietnamese living in the USA. From page 57 of the 2003 book, "Patriots: the Vietnam War remembered from all sides."

This next quote is eerie, karmic, and prophetic:

"Until we go through it ourselves, until our people cower in the shelters of New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles and elsewhere while the buildings collapse overhead and burst into flames, and dead bodies hurtle about and, when it is over for the day or the night, emerge in the rubble to find some of their dear ones mangled, their homes gone, their hospitals, churches, schools demolished — only after that gruesome experience will we realize what we are inflicting on the people of Indochina..."
-- William Shirer, author, 1973.
http://www.whale.to/b/ph2.html

"I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. ... They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, tape wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the country side of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."
-- John Kerry [later became a U.S. Senator]. Navy lieutenant, leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. April 22, 1971. United States Senate, Committee on Foreign Relations, Washington, D.C..

U.S. soldiers needlessly died. [TopLink]

 

Section below is from this page:
http://ourworld-top.cs.com/mikegriffith1/id140.htm

It is now known that Nixon delayed the withdrawal from Vietnam for political reasons, causing the needless deaths of thousands of American troops. In a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives on May 26, 1994, Congressman Pete Stark observed [emphasis added, quote begins],

Mr. Speaker, I speak today about the murderous actions of the late former President Richard Nixon and his national security advisor Henry Kissinger in the early 1970's.

The Nixon administration, elected with a pledge of having a secret plan to end the Vietnam war, took credit in the 1972 elections for the withdrawal from Vietnam and the wind down of the war. The just-published HALDEMAN DIARIES, however, reveal that the withdrawal was delayed for raw, gross political reasons--to look better in the 1972 elections. . . .

Each day that we delayed our withdrawal, American servicemen died needlessly. Kissinger advised against early withdrawal for election reasons in December of 1970. According to Department of Defense statistics, 2,412 men died in 1971, another 767 in 1972, and 65 more in 1973. In total, 3,244 men died while the withdrawal was delayed for the purposes of ensuring the re-election of Richard Nixon and the sinecure of Henry Kissinger.

One hundred and forty slabs of stone carry the names of 58,191 dead servicemen at the Vietnam Memorial. If Nixon and Kissinger had considered the lives of their fellow Americans instead of their own political victories, 7 stones would not have been needed. The next time you visit the Wall, think about it--1 out of every 20 names would not be there if we had pulled out quickly and decisively when

Kissinger first discussed it. One out of every 20 names is there to help win an election for CREEP. The blood of 3,244 servicemen is an enormous burden on the soul to take to your grave. [quote ends] (24:E1116-1117)

Liberation from Religion.
 -
Spirituality, and/or Extra-dimensional physics, for Dummies.

A Declaration of Independence. 
The spiritual worlds may even be extra dimensions that will be totally explainable by science someday. It's all good.
Here below are 2 Bible verses that release people from all Bible verses, all religions, all texts, all names, and even names like "Jesus" or "Lucifer"!
If people can think and feel for themselves, and if the spiritual and/or extra-dimensional worlds are real, and if free will is real, then no one can really force anyone to loosen up, and open themselves up to broader horizons. And conversely, no one can forcibly close someone up and keep them from thinking and feeling. People are in prisons of their own making and choosing. Especially the prison of religion. Many of the world's problems, wars, hate campaigns, and drug wars come from text-based religious fundamentalists. It is due to their simplistic intolerance, and their close-minded belief in the infallibility of religious texts and names. These true believers are closed-off simpletons and dumbstruck beginners who are tied to their religious textbooks. Texts that are often completely changed from the original texts, and/or were edited by many people over many years. Texts that are often chosen for political purposes centuries ago. There are many texts that are more accurate and truthful. But they usually attack the status quo, especially religion. So they are often burned and lost to history. Sometimes they are found. In any case almost no text can be proven to come unedited from the period or person claimed.
Even these 2 famous verses below are too harsh. People can open or close their minds and hearts at will. The point is that names, texts, and religions matter little compared to the spiritual and/or extra-dimensional worlds (whatever they are).

Matthew 12:32
(from New American Standard version):
"And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come."

A similar version is found in the Gnostic gospel of the apostle Thomas:
"44. Jesus said, 'Whoever blasphemes against the Father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven, either on earth or in heaven.' "
http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html ~
-- "The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures -- texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define 'orthodoxy' -- scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, ..."

Bold Evil Morons with power.

The false prophets of the fundamentalist and corporatist slave herds.

Morpheus: "It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." Neo: "What truth?" Morpheus: "That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you can not smell or taste or touch. A prison - for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends. You wake up in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember! All I am offering is the truth. Nothing more." -- From the 1999 movie, The Matrix.

Thought herding. A history of hate radio and television.

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull*hit!"

The majority of the over 2.3 million U.S. inmates are imprisoned because of the Drug War!

Republicrats: Republican EVIL, 
and Democrat complicity.
1968 to date. Creating the U.S.

Drug War Incarceration Nation
of arch-drug-warriors
Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II.
Texas = state-sponsored
drug war terrorism!

Remember Tulia, Texas!
This is determined by totaling drug crimes, drug-related crimes (such as robbing to get money for drugs that are expensive because of the drug war), drug trade crimes, drug-related parole violations, etc.. Click the above link for more info.

The U.S. incarceration rate is over 5 times higher than in 1971 when the impeached arch-criminal, "law-and-order" President Richard Nixon declared an evil "war on drugs" as a substitute for the good "war on poverty." The USA has less than 5% of the world's population and around 25% of the world's 9 million prisoners. Since the year 2000 the USA again has the world's highest incarceration rate! It is 5 to 20 times higher than all other nations with long democratic traditions such as Australia, Canada, Western European nations, Iceland, Japan, etc.. Government waste: It costs around $25,000 per prisoner per year. Statistics, references, links, and charts:

Recipe for Baked Reptilian:

This site was "intelligently-designed" through reverse-engineering a "god(dess) code" in the webmaster's alien DNA inserted in his Special bloodline ages ago by reptilian shapeshifters from Sirius on an educational tour about Earth primate evolution. They did it as a joke after posing as humans and getting baked with the lovely local Amazon warrior females. The rest is history.... The aliens still have the Amazon tattoos to prove it.  :) ~~~
