Re: Gitmo hunger strike and INDIA BLOCK punishment cells.

Postby Hugh Manatee Wins » Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:04 pm

Yahoo no longer has the story available.

But it was on BBC back in 2003?!
Why is a nearly 7 year old story being recycled and dropped on internet boards?

For the reasons I suggested, current stories about mass hunger due to Wall Street/gov.'t policies.

It was originally a MI6-BBC psyops story back on Nov. 25 2003, just one week before another UK source, the Guardian, began a series on Dec. 3 2003 about Guantanamo which included prisoner hunger strikes and a punishment cell called "India Block" and being drugged with tranquilizers."

Headline keywords were:
> FAKIR. As in "faker."
> INDIA. As in the Gitmo torture in what was called "India block."
> TRANQUIL. As in the long-term drugging of prisoners with tranquilizers.

The reader's offered emotional relief image of the "fakir" being in "perfect health" is undoubtedly the prime psyops message, besides being a bandwith with thematic keyword decoys.

Classic military counterpropaganda agenda and psyops tactics using the two main components of keyword hijacking and meme-reversal.

The decoy precedes the target-

Yet he is in fine mental and physical fettle, say doctors.

Most people can live without food for several weeks, with the body drawing on its fat and protein stores.
.....

And then the scheduled target, the 'hostile information,' arrives-
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/de ... anamo.usa1
The Guardian, Wednesday 3 December 2003

Special investigation: inside Guantanamo Bay (part one)
People the law forgot


It is almost two years since the Guantanamo prison camp opened. Its purpose is to hold people seized in the 'war on terror' and defined by the Bush administration as enemy combatants - though many appear to have been bystanders to the conflict. Images of Camp Delta's orange-jumpsuited, manacled detainees have provoked international outrage.
.....
In India Block, as the block of punishment cells is known, "there were no windows. There were four walls and a roof made of tin, a light bulb and an air conditioner. They put the air conditioning on and it was extremely cold. They would take away the blanket in the morning and bring it back in the evening. I was kept in this room for one month. We'd ask them: 'Is this a sort of a punishment?' And the translator would say, 'No, this is being done on orders from the general.'"
.....
As treatment for Mohammed's suicidal state of mind, US medics injected him with an unknown drug, against his will. "I refused and they brought seven or eight people and held me and injected me," he says. "I couldn't see down, I couldn't see up. I felt paralysed for one month - this injection, the effect, I couldn't think or do anything. They gave me tranquillising tablets. They just told me: 'Your brain is not working properly.' They were forcing me to take these injections and tablets and I didn't want to do that. Some people were being injected every month."

Good Lord, Hugh... The lengths to which you will go to find something vaguely psyops-ey in a news story — it honestly boggles the mind.

Although I don't think you're purposely spreading disinformation in any way, sometimes I do wonder very seriously if you're a satirist, and if what you're doing might actually be art. If so, you're extremely good at lampooning elements of the conspiracy sub-culture, and you deserve a grant.

"India block."
I'll never think of India without being reminded of Gitmo's punishment cells so named.

So the UK-Yakoo recycle date for the 11/25/03 Gitmo decoy story meant to mnemonically obscure India Block using another Indian-to-block (pun) was...4/29/10.
Anything UK-specific about Gitmo on 4/29/10? Oh, yes.

Thursday 29th April 2010

Foreign Secretary defends Government stance on Battersea Guantanamo Bay prisoner Shaker Aamer

The Foreign Secretary has defended the Government’s efforts to release the last British resident held in Guantanamo Bay - as his family prepares to mark the 3,000th day he has been imprisoned in the Cuban jail without charge.

In an exclusive interview with the Wandsworth Guardian, David Miliband said the Government was “actively engaged” in pursuing the case of Shaker Aamer and said the UK had asked for his release “without fear or favour”.


Mr Miliband said UK’s trackrecord on getting its citizens and residents released countered claims the Government was not exerting real pressure on the US for his return, and Mr Aamer’s plight was high on his agenda.

Despite never being charged with any offence Mr Aamer - who claims he has was repeatedly tortured in Guantanamo and in Afghanistan, at which an MI6 officer was present - has, according to lawyers, spent three of the eight years imprisoned in isolation.

Mr Aamer, who lives in Battersea and has never met the youngest of his four children, was cleared for release in 2007, but is still regarded as a risk by the US and is waiting for the outcome of a US Guantanamo Task Force hearing.

Okay, we get it, Hugh - the article is a psyop. Please take further comments regarding keyword hijacking to a new thread. This thread revolves around the phenomenon of Inedia and the claims of Prahlad Jani.

Weird thing about that Youtube clip of IndiaTV. It looks like it might be somewhat modified for Youtube to punch up certain aspects.

The news item crawler at the bottom of the screen keeps being abruptly cut off and replaced with advertising banners using about losing weight and air conditioning.

Besides prisoner hunger strikes at Gitmo, India block at Gitmo used air conditioning as torture, not that there isn't a market for this in India, obviously.

The whole story looks like a psyop from to to bottom, even for Indian government purposes.
Bet they've got some 'skeletons' starving in some closets, too.

Any link between US-UK alphabeters and India? Natch.

Even as told by the CIA-Washington Post-

CIA Helped India, Pakistan Share Secrets in Probe of Mumbai Siege

By Joby Warrick and Karen DeYoung

Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, February 16, 2009

In the aftermath of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, the CIA orchestrated back-channel intelligence exchanges between India and Pakistan, allowing the two former enemies to quietly share highly sensitive evidence while the Americans served as neutral arbiters, according to U.S. and foreign government sources familiar with the arrangement.
.....
"India shared evidence bilaterally, but that's not what cinched it," said a senior Pakistani official familiar with the exchanges. "It was the details, shared between intelligence agencies, with the CIA serving mainly as a bridge." The FBI also participated in the vetting process, he said.

...had to log back into say...

barracuda, you and I posted at the same damn time. So back off with Jeff's thought Nazi routine.

If you are going to police all op's as only to be discussed as true face value without context or source, then this will be a DemocraticUnderground-style psyops board of bullshit.

It's the rules, biyatch. Special just for you. You can pimp your KWH line of bullshit on a new thread if you think it's that important.

Context.

Also, your statement above is a lie. The UI on the board shows you if a member has posted before you hit submit, and gives you a chance to alter your post. So you're completely full of shit, besides your usual meaningless diversions and digressions.

Timing.

Geez Louise Barracuda, as far as rules are concerned, your admonishment of Hugh reads as a personal attack laced with profanities.
Thought there were some rules against that.
This thread was asleep till slomo(I think) woke it back up, I wouldn't worry about it being derailed.
And your 'timing" plea comes off as a bit childish. I know I've constructed posts and missed f/u's.
Please dont over moderate!

I'm with the mods on this. Jesus, he's like the guy at the next table in the bar, picking up pieces of your conversation and riffing off them, telling you you're stupid while blowing belchy spittle all over your face.

Simulist started this thread after I'd posted the story on another thread, which I'd seen headlined on Yahoo News on 29 April. It was in the news because the 30-day observation happened this year. An older story on Jani, concerning a similar test over ten days, ran on BBC News in 2003, but that wasn't the story that was 'dropped' on the board. I'd like to know what you meant by "being dropped", how you think the CIA-Disney craftily prompted me and Simulist to post what we did.

Hugh Manatee Wins wrote: INDIA. As in the Gitmo torture in what was called "India block."
"India", as you are no doubt aware, represents the letter I. I can tell you have fun with this bullshit, so maybe if you come back you can start a new thread connecting the debate over the use of the metric system to Kilo Block in Gitmo where the Uighurs were tortured, or the latest Shakespeare adaptation to hunger strikes in Juliet Block.

Hugh Manatee Wins wrote:TRANQUIL. As in the long-term drugging of prisoners with tranquilizers.
The word "tranquil" doesn't appear in either article. You, sir, pulled it out of your arse.

Hugh Manatee Wins wrote:If you don't get psyops by now...
I'd like to, and I really wish you'd use your posts here to share your truly encyclopaedic knowledge of actual psyops instead of playing "oh, that sounds like a word they want us to think about or not think about in an article I happen just to have read".

Well, I can only speak for myself, but as a contractor for CIA psyops (we prefer MISO) I am now independently wealthy, recently purchased my own private island from millionaire chicken mogul, Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, and plan on spending my retirement on a beach somewhere in the South Pacific, guarding some piss-yellow light that better not go out, or... well, I've really never been clear on that.

I don't get it. If this is real, this guy is the "free energy" device we've been looking for, clone him. Has he had a colonoscopy? Hard to believe he can replenish his body's matter, dead skin cells, etc, normal cell death, the need to manufacture neurotransmitters, etc. His entire metabolism should be completely weird at least. You'd think people would be demanding more extensive study of this medical marvel.
