Transnational Torture


Book Description

"Transnational Torture by Jinee Lokaneeta reviewed with Prachi Patankar" on the blog Kafila. Evidence of torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and harsh interrogation techniques at Guantánamo Bay beg the question: has the “war on terror” forced liberal democracies to rethink their policies and laws against torture? Transnational Torture focuses on the legal and political discourses on torture in India and the United States—two common-law based constitutional democracies—to theorize the relationship between law, violence, and state power in liberal democracies. Analyzing about one hundred landmark Supreme Court cases on torture in India and the United States, memos and popular imagery of torture, Jinee Lokaneeta compellingly demonstrates that even before recent debates on the use of torture in the war on terror, the laws of interrogation were much more ambivalent about the infliction of excess pain and suffering than most political and legal theorists have acknowledged. Rather than viewing the recent policies on interrogation as anomalous or exceptional, Lokaneeta effectively argues that efforts to accommodate excess violence—a constantly negotiated process—are long standing features of routine interrogations in both the United States and India, concluding that the infliction of excess violence is more central to democratic governance than is acknowledged in western jurisprudence.

You Are Not My Big Brother


Book Description

Reviewed as an excellent book for understanding the advanced technology applied to reportedly 300,000 or more victims of human experimentation within the USA and millions globally, "Targeted" for every reason under the Sun.In Book Two of the "Mind Control Technology" book series, the author details personal experiences surrounding abuse and victimization by military and law enforcement, et. al., using real-time surveillance, drones, and highly advanced, patented, influence technology on her covertly hoping to substantiate allegations. When the manipulative effort failed, resulting in this explosive tell-all book, the physical and psychological effort escalated as attempts to prevent publication and the author's living Hell around the clock by non-ionizing radiation beamed both inside and outside her home and 24/7 tracking around the clock.It appears that those involved in covert technology testing and spearheading "The Program" was attempting to make good on the promise, by repeated threats, that if she did not stop publication she would suffer the consequences. And, the consequences could be deployed by approval from one of the approximately 120 state-of-the-art fusion centers across our country today, connected to military bases nationwide, unseen or detectable to the human eye, or as close as official set-ups at neighboring locations. Little known today, various advanced, highly perfected technologies are being used globally such as patented Synthetic Telepathy also known as the "Hearing Voices" effect, mind-reading, consciousness-altering, dream manipulation, etc., along with the capability of subliminal message carrying through communication towers, portable systems, and devices, and satellites and drones. The technological arsenal of today consists of technology that can manipulate thoughts, create visual holograms, or even stimulate a person sexually, electromagnetically, a new form of covert, legalized, terrorism, miles away through a supercomputer terminal. It appears that Big Brother's 1984 technocratic agenda has come of age by handheld, portable, land, sea, and space-based technologies and the weapon system first publicized during the Reagan era of the '80s as the Strategic Defense Initiative then fondly called "Star Wars" as an exampled platform using a wide array of advanced weapon concepts, including lasers, particle beams. Pittman's truthful revelations and honesty placed her in a unique position, which so many fear because of ongoing unawareness of covert set-ups prior to the targeting. By revealing tactics that start human experimentation, then pointing the finger you can become expendable.




Kill Me Softly

Mira has a role to play, a fairy tale destiny to embrace or resist.

Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis


Book Description

"Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis: Human Rights, Integration, and Sustainable Development addresses the question of what to do about the global refugee crisis. One in every ninety-five people on the planet has been forcibly displaced from their home, the collective response is woefully inadequate. Through comparative case study, this book provides the first policy analysis of all three durable solutions in the context of the global refugee crisis. The durable solutions are designed to find a permanent place for refugees were developed more than 70 years ago. Last year, fewer than two percent of refugees found their way any of these solutions. Reforming yesterday's solutions requires understanding how they have been used, how they have failed, and how they can be improved. Comparative case studies of the Somali Voluntary Repatriation Program, the Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement, and the Arizona Refugee Empowerment Project provide a comprehensive, global, and timely policy analysis grounded in social work, human rights, and sustainable development. The policy analysis of all three durable solutions is comprehensive, these are rarely considered together. The policy analysis is global in scope as the case studies are from refugee policies and populations from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The policy analysis is timely in its focus on contemporary voluntary repatriation, local integration, and third country resettlement programs. This book offers implications for improving refugee solutions to promote human rights, integration, and sustainable development. This is vital to counter the rising tide of restrictionist, anti-refugee sentiment and policies"--
