In the aftermath of the CIA revelations, (the intelligence agency for the US, a country that prides itself on its freedom and democratic values) it has been proven to the world that corruption and evil exists at every level. The tactics used by the CIA in the so called War on Terror helped to create a new generation of terrorism- who it seems, learned all of these tricks from these obviously experienced professional masters. The most concerning part of these revelations, (as was the case with the Caesar revelations of prisoner torture and subsequent deaths in the Syrian regime dungeons resulting in #AssadWarCrimes) is that these are not pockets of isolated deviation. This is an inbred culture of We have the power to do what we want- and have no one to account us for it attitude, and is far more widespread then us, as the masses think. Secret rendition, extradition and torture linked to the CIA exist in far more places in the world than Gitmo- those that shed light on these practices in the past have conveniently disappeared or become imprisoned. What about those secret prisons and victims of torture we know nothing about? Those languishing in an unending continuum of endless torture, abuse and deprivation of all things human? The impunity with which intelligence agencies such as the CIA (and as time will probably reveal even MI6, MOSSAD and other agencies complicit in these activities) and others acting around the world as well as the Middle East is astounding- especially since we live in a time that is far more advanced technologically than ever before- yet here we have medieval practices taking place right under our noses- practices that were carried out to protect the world and make it a safer place. The inferences that many world apocalyptic scenarios have been averted as a result of these illegal interrogations are laughable and highly unbelievable in the absence of concrete evidence- thats always the missing vital piece of the safer world puzzle- kept from public view behind the excuse of protecting national security. Whilst we are warmongering in the name of democracy, and solving the worlds terrorism crisis internationally, domestically, we are guilty of depraved crimes that completely dehumanize those to whom we have a duty of care until at least we have proven their guilt- and even beyond guilt, there is a responsibility as the modern western world to respect human rights and punish appropriately and humanely. Many of those tortured in Guantanamo, including Moazzam Begg were never guilty of a crime in the first place. Guantanamo is a symbol of much of whats wrong in the world. As long as it continues to be a festering boil in the side of the western world- terrorism will continue to spread by people who justify their own actions as defiance of a system that abuses, criminalises and dehumanizes their kind. This cycle of violence must stop- GITMO MUST GO! The system is clearly flawed and its existence has just made the world an uglier place to live in. With the kind of crimes we are hearing about committed by one human against another- in an organisation that is part of an establishment valuing itself around democracy, is it any surprise that so many youngsters have become disenfranchised with the status quo and seek to use that same attitude of do whatever I want and mimic those in power doing the same? This cycle of violence, power struggles, war and need to control continues to breed evil and hatred at every level and generation as it has for millennia. Humans are regressing at so many levels.... On this day- WORLD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY, PLEASE spare a thought and prayer for those prisoners held without trial- many who are innocent, and are without their freedom, to love, work, cherish their loved ones, breathe fresh air or enjoy a view of the outside world & sky. Be a voice for those that have been let down by the system and its flaws. Let us all try to be the change for good- for thankfully there is much more of that in the world than the bad...
