Iraqi Army Tortures Post 2003 and We Knew It

Wikki-leaks has now released Iraqi documents to the effect that there was wide spread Iraqi on Iraqi systematic torture by the Iraqi army during the time our forces were liberating Iraq in 2003. These range from beatings, sometimes with chains, and also electricity applied to the toes and genitals, and many died from these electrocutions. US troops have been aware of these tortures but were admonished by superiors not to report these tortures. Donald Rumsfeld interrupted one speech to amend the speakers remarks to say “not to stop the torturing when you see it, but merely to report it”. Of course they aren’t supposed to report it so if they follow their continence they themselves will get into trouble. Authorities in the Obama administration including Hillary Clinton, and also NATO have condemned this massive release of information by wikki-leaks. I myself am all for it. We are America after all. We were all told that the Iraq army was “de-Saddamized” (that sounds almost gay, doesn’t it?) In fact democrats criticized Bush for dismantling the Iraqi army. But now we find they were anything but dismantled, and that somehow the torture of their Iraqi bretheren was somehow OK and in concordance with US military interests. Of course wikki-leaks was told to “expunge” their information but that won’t happen because people are downloading it even as we speak.

Sarcosi and the French senate have pushed through a bill that will raise the retirement age in France from sixty to 62. This is being done to help bail out the banks and to put the government on a sound fiscal footing. But there have been massive protests throughout the country by both union workers and college students. These students know that if older people occupy the factories longer there will not be room for then when they enter the work force. To me this is kind of a pickle. I see both sides of this and only wish that we in America could have a retirement age of 62. That would relieve our unemployment rate. The British source who reports this is not in strong sympathy with these spoiled Frenchmen. Clearly ripples from the economic recession that began in this country three years ago have echoed their way through Europe.

. Juan Williams is that Puerto Rican guy who was fired by N P R for making certain statements about Moslems on the O Riley factor show. He was pandering to a conservative audience offering them red meat about how if people in Arab dress were on an airplane he’d be uneasy. Apparently Juan Williams had prior left wing “credibility” because of civil rights books he had written. But now the guy is acting like a jerk and far as I am concerned he fully deserves to be fired. But the timing is bad because this guy just signed a two million dollar contract with FOX and now the conservatives can beat NPR and other liberals over the head with this.

Many people would love to be in a world where there was instant retribution, that is where if you did something either good or bad it would come right back upon the person. People speak of “The Universe repaying everybody back”. But if you think about it this is not the kind of a world we live in. If a person earns money he has more money to invest in himself and invest in capital gain and get more money. If a person does something bad like write grafitti on a wall, the mere presence of that grafitti invites other grafitti on that same wall. If a window is broken in a building the owner is "rewarded" with a loss in real estate value. In like manner if someone tells lies about you, they just might not get caught, but those lies could go on hurting you for some time to come. But what if in the afterlife- - -all that good or bad karma came back on you then. There are two schools of karmic thought. In one you have to die first, but in the other, you don't. Let's cover both of them. We have spoken as the hyper space after life as like a cosmic chess game in the sixth dimension. But suppose the pieces on the board were not contoled by you and some opponet movint the pieces, but the pieces were directly empowered by your own actions in your last life? The good karma would help you and the bad karma would oppose you right on the spot, right there to your face. There would be no hiding from it. People speak of the "war of good and bad natures" within a person. However here it's not the Creation of good and bad natures, but merely the karmic manifestations of good and bad natures. The best you could hope for is to become a "better player" given the pieces you've been dealt. Perhaps there is a "pass Go and get reembursed" rule. In order to change it you have to be reborn. People only pick up new engrams, good or bad, from being reincarnated. This "battle" you are in is not some mere game that you can just walk away from. "Giving up" is not an option. Not one you'll like anyhow. Perhaps a particularly wicked person might want to be reincarnated on ANY terms just to ESCAPE these “forces” they so dread, that are their own actions? Suppose anybody could negotiate and choose their next life as some psychics suggest. Your "negotiation chips" are determined by how you play in the sixth dimension. Would a person deliberately choose a life of misfortune? Some may hope for "random chance" to bail them out. But there is no randomness to take refuge in. They may think some avenue of escape of misfortune will open up despite what they agreed to. But they know ALL of that next life. They will be told in advance how it will all come out. (This is due to certain metaphysical laws) That would rob the life of its surprises, but of course your mind will be wiped clean at rebirth and you will remember nothing. But all the same I have postulated using Einstinian physics that there is indeed a “super self” that exists already in hyper-space and that super-self has already lived this life and is now looking back on it. If you could tap into this source maybe you could improve your lot. But actually all the “surprises” and “turns for the better” would be pre programmed in. Even suicides would be pre-programmed. But this is one view of karma. There is another “school of karma” that goes something like this. Beings in hyper-space or “overseers” for lack of a better word, have the ability to cast charms and hexes and the ability to put things on you. The Bible says “the curse without a cause does not come”, but how strongly do you believe that? These hex casters are merely directing souls in the “four thousand holes of Lankishire” into various fifth dimensional universes, like air traffic controllers. These beings have the ability to change your life for better or worse At Any Time. You don’t have to die first. Of course you will “switch fifth dimensional realities” but you may see little changed, at first. It’s like that Star Trek episode when Warf came in contact with Jordi’s visor, Warf would undergo a dimensional shift. So it’s like everything would be different. Everybody you thought you knew would all be different but instead people who resembled everybody you knew would take their place in this alternate parrellel universe. These are two schools of karmic thought for your consideration.
