Brainwashing
niiiiiiice...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/18/AR2007091802203.html

give "em an "attitude adjustment" and if they then meet standards of acceptability, cut them loose. Otherwise, throw away the key. Trial? What trial? Who said anything about a trial?

1. Sister program going on in the federal prisons with the removal of
"non-approved" (and non-christian) books from the libraries, not to mention faith-based organizations proselytizing in the prisons.

I figure that they figure if these two programs are "successful", their next target will be public schools for the children to indoctrinated as christians by definition of the government.

2. Military detention facilities have served as breeding grounds for extremist views
No fucking kidding!!! What a surprise!

The U.S. military has introduced "religious enlightenment" and other education programs for Iraqi detainees, some of whom are as young as 11, Marine Maj. Gen. Douglas M. Stone, the commander of U.S. detention facilities in Iraq, said yesterday.

Damn!

3. These people are really fucking scary...
Stone described a sort of religious insurgency that occurred at one detention facility on Sept. 2. "We had a compound of moderates for the first time overtake . . . extremists. It's never happened before. Found them, identified them, threw them up against the fence and shaved their frickin' beards off of them. . . . I mean, that is historic."

They are honing their techniques over there so they can use them over here. Missing church a little too often? Got at little disorderly at the Kerry lecture? Not showing authority figures the respect they so richly deserve?

OFF TO THE COMPOUND WITH YOU!!

4. Wow.
Effing WOW.

"He has also begun a "huge, expensive" Rand Corp. research study on detainee motivation and morale and has plans for a major communication campaign."

That is one disturbing article.

5. Soon we will see this happen to us I bet.
Imagine a future where protesters, non Christians..etc are
herded into camps and "re-educated". Well it could
happen and the places are ready. They are called FEMA camps
and it was started during the Iraq contra then it was called
REX 84 PROGRAM.

Here are a few links on Rex 84

7. It's already happened on a small scale
If you are interested, try digging at the bones of MK-Ultra. Not new, not different...just not hushed up.
