Extreme rendition and torture-by-proxy.....

Although he initially tried to assert his innocence, 

he eventually confessed to anything 

his tormentors wanted him to say. 

“You just give up, he said. 

“You become like an animal.”

---Maher Arar.

A Canadian engineer sent Syria.
A year later, in October, 2003, 
Arar was released without charges. … 
Imad Moustapha, the Syrian Ambassador 

in Washington, announced 

that his country had found no links between 
Arar and terrorism. Arar, it turned out, 
had been sent to Syria on orders from 

the U.S. government, under a secretive 

program known as “extraordinary rendition.” 
This program had been devised as 

a means of extraditing terrorism suspects 

from one foreign state to another for 
interrogation and prosecution. 
Critics contend that the unstated purpose of 
such renditions is to subject the suspects to 
aggressive methods of persuasion 
that are illegal in America—including torture.

The Stanford Experiment.........

In dehumanizing others..........

We can not expect to hold them

To any known standards.

         *         *        *        *         *

Dehumanization, 

although a concrete historical fact,

is not a given destiny but 

the result of an unjust order 

that engenders violence in the oppressors, 

which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed.

---Paulo Freire.

Quote of the day...

What important truth do..... 

very few people agree with you on?

― Peter Thiel.

To be parasiting and para sitting.....The story of the hand that feeds...

Since the dawn of human civilizations

Agriculture labor is the most exploited 

Human resource that is still at 

The bottom of food chain.

Quote of the day.....

[I]t is a truth which the experience of 

all ages has attested, that the people are 

always most  in danger, when 

the means of injuring their rights are 

in the possession of those of whom 

they entertain the least suspicion.

-- Alexander Hamilton(1757-1804)
 Secretary of the Treasury

By merit....

Those of who often argue 

On behalf of merit are

Mostly the One's......... 

That seeks privilege 

In one fashion or another.

Bi polar.....

Expressions in human intelligence

are not an anomaly... 

Either as Good or Bad...

Like good cop ...bad cop.

Quote of the day....

It is an ancient truth......

that freedom cannot be legislated 

into existence,

so it is no less obvious.... 

that freedom cannot be censored 

into existence.

And any who act as if freedom's defenses 

are found in suppression and 

suspicion and fear confess 

a doctrine that is alien to America.

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
(1890-1969), 34th US President, WWII General

Quote of the day....

If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, 

should in terms renounce or

give up any natural right, 

the eternal law of reason and 

the grand end of society would absolutely 

vacate such renunciation. 

The right to freedom being 

the gift of Almighty God, 

it is not in the power of man

to alienate this gift and 

voluntarily become a slave.

-- Samuel Adams
(1722-1803), was known as 
the "Father of the American Revolution.

Homeostasis........

Where there is prejudice

There is neither learning 

Nor teaching. 

War....

One forgets there are 

Other ways to die.

--- Troy.

Quote of the day.....

We have to emancipate ourselves 

before we can emancipate others.

---Marcus Garvey.

                     *         *         *        *         *

Full Quote:

We are going to emancipate ourselves from 

mental slavery because..... 

whilst others might free the body, 

none but ourselves can free the mind. 

Mind is your only ruler, sovereign. 

The man who is not able to develop and use 

his mind is bound to be the slave of 

the other man who uses his mind…. 

Marcus Garvey, Nova Scotia, October 1937.

Lyrics:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit.

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty.

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly.

Won’t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

‘Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,

‘Cause none of them can stop the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look? Ooh!

Some say it’s just a part of it:

We’ve got to fulfill the Book.


Won’t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

‘Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our mind.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

‘Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look?

Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:

We’ve got to fulfill the book.

Won’t you have to sing

These songs of freedom? –

‘Cause all I ever had:

Redemption songs –

All I ever had:

Redemption songs:

These songs of freedom,

Songs of freedom.

Quote of the day........

There never did, there never will, and

there never can exist a parliament, or

in any country,.......... 

possessed of the right or the power of 

binding and controlling posterity 

to the `end of time,’ or of commanding 

for ever how the world shall be governed, or 

who shall govern it. ... 

Every age and generation must be 

as free to act for itself, in all cases, 

as the ages and generations.....

which preceded it.

-- Thomas Paine(1737-1809) 

US Founding father, pamphleteer, author


              *       *      *     *      *

Neither  in a conscious will of people 

or in any organized group

Nor in an individual invested in authority 

Lies all the wisdom......... 

To lead humanity.

--manu/manav.

Sanskritization.....

Sanskritization is an assemblage and

Codification of the existing.....

Families of root/native languages.

In wisdom.....

Pursuit of ambiguity leads to... 

Skewed judgement.

Quote of the day....

If language is not correct,

then what is said is not what is meant;

If what is said is not what is meant,

then what must be done remains undone;

If this remains undone,

morals and art will deteriorate;

If justice goes astray,

the people will stand about in 

helpless confusion.

Hence there must be 

no arbitrariness in what is said.

This matters above everything.

-- Confucius
[Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.)

Manufacturing Consent.......

There are no true consistencies...

In memory of Stephen Hawking.....

Remember to look up at the stars and 

not down at your feet.

Try to make sense of what you see and 

about what makes the universe exist. 

Be curious. 

And however difficult life may seem, 

there is always something you can do, 

and succeed at. 

It matters that you don’t just give up.

--Stephen Hawking, 
As he celebrated his 70th birthday.

quote of the day......

A single idea, if it is right, 

saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.

-- Jacques Maritain
(1882-1973) French Catholic philosopher

Quote of the day.....

A fact which is not denied but 

whose truths are rationalized  

loses its objective base.
