C.I.A.
KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE + THE CIA CLOSER
The horror is in the details Take rectal feeding for
example The CIA pureed food which they later
rectally infused into detainees One prisoner was
thrown into a darkened cell shackled to a wall standing
& forgotten for 17 days
The CIA is under attack for acts of: mundane brutality +
day to day degradations in a report released yesterday
One that is largely redacted a.k.a. censored Barak + other
American notables say CIA are patriots though their methods
insult their country’s morality High ground slides to new lows
with these atrocities
When the good guys behave like depraved sociopaths +the bad guys
are depraved psychopaths it may in fact be time to re-evaluate the
thin veneer of civilization between humanity & the animal kingdom
Senator John McCain POW in Vietnam tortured repeatedly cannot as
a result raise his arms above waist-level He said: Torture isn’t necessary
and it isn’t even helpful
Torture does not elicit co-operation or produce accurate intelligence
Generally speaking the near dead tell their captors what they want to
hear or anything at all to STOP THE TORTURE The 2 psychologists
hired by the CIA to advise on + help run the torture program billed the U.S.
government: $81 million
So is this a tragedy or a modern scourge? Perhaps it reeks of cataclysm?
Surely a convulsion of depravity Or is it simply the new-normal in our
21st Century? Gird yourselves.

Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are
almost always bad men.”
