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-

Fasting fakir flummoxes physicians

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-

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."
If you don't get psyops by now...
