If Republicans Were Around During The Spanish Inquisition

Simply wonderful, AdLib!

The subject matter was far from funny, but Monty Python made it so. Seeing Cheney’s ugly mug next to King’s was hilarious, but who is the creep on the left? McTurtle?

They can protest all they want to but it doesn’t alter the fact of who they are and what they think. As this continues, the cheerleaders and their kings will be condemned by most and revered only by those who have difficultty wiping their own arses.

It’s out there America, now show how much it sickens you and make sure that the scum responsible is never allowed to forget what they did, and how they shamed you as a nation.

The only way to keep this and the issue of blatant racism in the U.S. alive, is to make sure that you keep talking about it and contact your people in Congress to tell them how you feel about these issues. If they can’t or won’t help you, sack them as soon as you can.

The Torture Report – An Organization Held to Account…But Not One Single Person

Dianne Feinstein Counters CIA Director’s Presser Via Twitter: #ReadTheReport

Now the shifting of the blame starts as they begin to devour their own.

Bush ‘fully informed’ of CIA methods

President George W Bush knew all about CIA interrogation methods, says his vice-president, dismissing a Senate report as “full of crap”.

Maybe not AdLib, but if the world continues to talk about it for a long time, who knows what might happen.

This from this morning’s MB.

Senate report on CIA torture could lead to prosecutions of Americans abroad

Americans Involved in Torture Can Be Prosecuted Abroad, Analysts Say

Calls for international prosecution, legal experts say, are likely to grow so long as the United States chooses not to prosecute its own.

The chain of command began with the WH with the influence of the CIA, and escalated from there.

There will be names leaked in the future and these people along with those at the top should be punished. Shame that they can’t be stripped of their citizenship, and asked to leave so that the ICC can start the process.

This show of feeling no shame from those involved is inhuman.

» Posted By Kalima On December 10, 2014 @ 6:58 pm

No kes, it’s not surprising at all that the UN and human rights groups are already coming out to condemn it. It’s against international law, not that it bothers some countries, just look at Israel as a prime example.

I’ve only had the chance to read a few stories about the extent of the torture, like this article that quite honestly made me feel physically sick and is haunting me even now after I woke up.

Then you have Repubs, the CIA brass and Bush and Cheney lying to defend it. It’s like a sadists convention. It’s beyond comprehension.

THE MOST GRUESOME MOMENTS IN THE CIA ‘TORTURE REPORT’

CIA report sparks prosecution calls

The UN and rights groups call for US officials involved in what a Senate report calls brutal CIA interrogations of al-Qaeda suspects to be prosecuted.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-30407950

» Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2014 @ 11:29 pm

Nothing the Repubs have said and done have ever made any sense to me. It will be entertaining although shameful to see the Repub politicians and press putting a spin on this. How can they justify something so horrendous without even getting the intended results? Mind boggling.

That WH knew everything, and tried to hide it. Bush crawling out of the woodwork now to defend it, is an abomination.

It’s like finding your favourite vase broken and asking if anyone knows anything about it. After hearing a resounding NO, you turn to leave, and a small voice pops up and says, “Which one? The blue one”? You didn’t mention the colour. Only what they signed off on is a million times worse.

» Posted By Kalima On December 9, 2014 @ 6:55 pm

Of course George said the same thing in an interview and the WH didn’t know about the torture? BS!! They had their lawyers bend the laws so that they looked like a row of crooked and contorted “S’s”.

To Brennan I say, name the times torture saved American lives in detail.

To Bush I say, sit down and shut up. How dare you!! You should be sitting in a cell awaiting trial in The Hague.

If that WH didn’t know, then why are they now defending it so fiercely?

Cheney even repeating that water boarding was legal and he would do it again. Of course they knew, Gonzales couldn’t just go ahead and change these laws all by himself. So the report is not 100% honest about dealing out the blame.

Looks to me as if the CIA hired a bunch of untrained, insane sadists to break the Geneva Convention.

Amen to that AdLib. I see no other way but to remove the cancer and restructure with capable people in charge who apply the rules for everyone, and punish those who don’t abide by them. Isn’t that what policing is all about? Obviously they can’t police themselves.

» Posted By Kalima On December 4, 2014 @ 11:24 pm

I watched this earlier today and really felt for the son and daughter. I also hoped that they didn’t see the repeat of the video where their father died during this interview. Their hope was that the conversation continues, and I hope so too.

Maybe they need to start at the top and spring clean their way down because the cover ups in some places are corrosive. Reminds me a bit of the priests involved in the sexual abuse of so many children. Cover it up, move them around and the problem magically disappears. Except it didn’t, it just became worse.

» Posted By Kalima On December 4, 2014 @ 11:02 pm

Well with outrageous claims like in the Wapo link above, they are not painting a believable picture of themselves by being so dishonest. They have a huge problem and who is going to be the first to admit it with so much evidence piling up against them.

I just briefly glanced through Yahoo, to find at least two separate stories of police killing an unarmed black man recently. I hardly ever check Yahoo, but this can’t be ignored.

Meanwhile, lets all hold hands and sing together shall we? How does it go again? Kumbaya my Lord, Kumbaya!!!

Yes maybe we should hold hands VB, and sing about the fact that you are on a site where people actually care deeply about this problem, and discuss it respectfully. Bearing that in mind, in my opinion there is no need for sarcasm here. Your anger is misdirected. We are all on the same team.

For your information, I just heard from a friend that the song you refer to started with an African pronunciation of the phrase: “Come by here, Lord! Come by here!”

Ok ExFan, glad we cleared that up. I hope you will feel better soon.

Poverty? Right, sure it is. There is the problem, right there in this mind set. Blame the victims. Racism? Not here.

The one topic that’s not being discussed and is never discussed is [that] we don’t believe it’s an issue of race. We believe it’s an issue of poverty. Communities that have distrust of law enforcement — it’s because law enforcement is the only part of government they ever see. They’re poor; infant mortality rates are higher; single-family homes are higher; unemployment is higher; people don’t live as long as the average American. And that is the issue in every community in America that we police.

Racial Disparities

Police union: ‘We don’t believe it’s an issue of race. We believe it’s an issue of poverty’

We asked the national head of the Fraternal Order of Police about race relations and police prosecutions.

Thank you kes, you just proved my point.

» Posted By Kalima On December 4, 2014 @ 5:06 pm

And encourage to repeat it too. How many more people should live in your crowded and biased jails with corrupt officials making a profit from them while they rot?

If you think that Anonymous is doing a great thing, that’s ok with me. I don’t because through it they are putting others in danger. How can you be an activist group without the support of the public? There are far too many black Americans in your jails already. That was the whole point of my comment.

» Posted By Kalima On December 3, 2014 @ 9:47 pm

This time. They don’t advocate violence but will give details on the Internet just like the extreme RW nuts did about Dr. Tiller and others who worked for clinics where abortions were performed. People are still rightfully angry all over America, some want revenge, but why offer the opportunity to ruin more lives?

If you don’t want to consider the consequences then cheer on.

Hi ExFan, no one has removed your comment, so please try to not jump to conclusions. Had your comment been moderated, you would be able to see that “Awaiting Moderation” message below your comment. Please check, I believe your comment is right where you left it. Thanks!

» Posted By Kalima On December 3, 2014 @ 6:16 pm

A question, ExFan. If Anonymous find him what do you think they will do? Knock on the door and shake his hand? No, they will put his address and details on the Internet so people who are still very angry about the Ferguson grand jury decision can take the law into their own hands. Result: More lives ruined in a few minutes/seconds of anger.

Anonymous has done some great work, but sometimes they go too far.

We do not support this kind of vigilante justice.

Excellent article, AdLib.

Soon everyone will see that this bunch of Repubs can’t even govern themselves out of a brown paper bag, and as you say, before 2016, you will be able to cut the anger and resentment against these clowns with a dull knife.

The only mandate they have going for them will be when Lindsey Graham slips out dressed as Scarlet O’hara to meet the “man-date” at their yearly “HypocritesRus Ball” that his staff have set up for him time after time thinking we don’t know. 🙄
