What if Aliens from Mars invaded America? Would they use drones to control us? Monitor our cell phones? Wear body armor when patrolling our streets? Cover their eyes with protective glasses? Live in isolated compounds? Move in convoys? Would they look so out of place that we could spot them no matter how hard they tried to camouflage themselves?

So why when we invade another country do we expect to be welcomed?

Stop playing Space Invaders and just cut 'defense' spending to defense levels!

There are evil countries in the world and we must face that fact. Another fact we have been avoiding? Evil people live in evil countries.

Has our country become filled with evil people?

This link connects to 9 pages of information and story. Stories, the parents among us used to tell stories to our children. Our children learned from those stories.

I wish this story had been a fiction, a cautionary tale of what might be. A warning from the past to protect our future. It is fact and not fiction.

How meekly the dreams died in my home country. How quickly the evil reproduced while good people watched.

Even the title of the story will fool good people. Be warned! Titles do not define the story. This story condemns the reader with content. But only if the reader can still think.

The Black Sites

"Many officials inside the C.I.A. had misgivings. “A lot of us knew this would be a can of worms,” the former officer said. “We warned them, It’s going to become an atrocious mess.” The problem from the start, he said, was that no one had thought through what he called “the disposal plan.”

... the disposal plan. What will the US do with humans trapped in CIA black holes for years? In Viet Nam, were they thrown out of helicopters? The entire interrogation process being used by the United States is modeled on Viet Nam. In Viet Nam, 97 percent of people captured, held, and interrogated were of no or little value.

"But the C.I.A.’s new team used its expertise to help interrogators inflict abuse. “They were very arrogant, and pro-torture,” a European official knowledgeable about the program said."

Our allies call it torture. Our enemies call it torture. The survivors call it torture. Who listens to the dead?

The program had a begining in the Korean War. Our country feared our prisoners were brainwashed and we wanted to know how to resist brainwashing. So we reproduced the conditions reported by our returned P.O.W.s. We became ....

North Korea before we then became Russia ...

"The C.I.A.’s interrogation program is remarkable for its mechanistic aura. “It’s one of the most sophisticated, refined programs of torture ever,” an outside expert familiar with the protocol said. “At every stage, there was a rigid attention to detail. Procedure was adhered to almost to the letter. There was top-down quality control, and such a set routine that you get to the point where you know what each detainee is going to say, because you’ve heard it before. It was almost automated. People were utterly dehumanized. People fell apart. It was the intentional and systematic infliction of great suffering masquerading as a legal process. It is just chilling.”

... before we became the most evil country in the world in our own right.
