Waterboarding is not “simulated drowning.” It is drowning. As Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and William Delahunt (D-MA) explained, “The victim’s lungs fill with water until the procedure is stopped or the victim dies.” Former Navy survival instruction Malcolm Wrightson Nance explained to Congress:

In my case, the technique was so fast and professional that I didn’t know what was happening until the water entered my nose and throat. … It then pushes down into the trachea and starts the process of respiratory degradation. It is an overwhelming experience that induces horror and triggers frantic survival instincts. As the event unfolded, I was fully conscious of what was happening: I was being tortured.

Politicians at Work?

This bunch couldn't do worse than our current leader and his yes-men!

Then again, they would probably be better than our Mainstream "Managed Media" who wait around for their managed news handouts.

Maybe this group would be better shoppers than our current compliant consumers.

Might Black Friday shoppers be wise to consider - What Would Jesus Buy?

The possibilities abound!

Thanksgiving Endangered

Here's an Eagle that I photographed the other day near my house. I never saw one when I was growing up here but they are fairly common sights now.

Today we celebrate Thanksgiving but maybe we could do a better job of creating healthier citizens by producing better, not poorer food!

As I mentioned before the beneficial Omega-3 oil is derived by animals eating living food. Animals raised in pens have a very low ratio of Omega-3 to potentially harmful Omega-6.

Pick up the November copy of AcresUSA and see what I mean or do a search on the internet.

History (DELIBERATELY) Forgotten

Our freedoms are in danger because the people do not follow or understand politics or the methods politicians and corporations employ. Perhaps we are too busy, but the cost of remaining uninformed is too great. Every individual should read these words!

CHAPTER ONE

War Is A Racket

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?
