From RT America:
Which brings to mind this video: Yasilin Bey (a.k.a Mos Def) force fed under standard Guantanamo Bay procedure
--------------------That's not "change we can believe in."
Where is the "Change We Can Believe In" that Obama promised?
Which brings to mind this video: Yasilin Bey (a.k.a Mos Def) force fed under standard Guantanamo Bay procedure
--------------------Obama is now in his second term, but back when he was running for his first term, he promised to shut down Guantanamo Bay as his first point of duty in office.
At the time it was a big deal, and his promise to shut it down rang true with many voters and this helped him to win the nomination for the Democrats. If it sounds hazy, then take a quick trip down memory lane.
Fast Forward to 2014.
There is video evidence that Guantanamo inmates, held on questionable moral and legal grounds, are being tortured as they undertake hunger strikes in protest of their conditions. Inmates are force fed while restrained in chairs, to the point of vomiting and/or defecting in the chair.
From RT:
No matter how you look at it, force feeding an inmate who is on a hunger strike is torture, and that is against every conceivable American value.
This is NOT change we can believe in. Wake up America, your taxes are funding this, you are supporting this.
--------------------Barbaric societies execute people who violate the law, especially if the perpetrator is a known murderer.
from Miriam Webster's Dictionary:
Barbaric (definition):
In the old days they would stone people to death. Others were flogged to death, or nailed to crosses for crimes much less than murder.
America is right up there with the latest technology, injecting them with lethal drugs.
Hooray for progress.

The White House has given final approval for dramatically raising permissible radioactive levels in drinking water and soil following “radiological incidents,” such as nuclear power-plant accidents and dirty bombs. The final version, slated for Federal Register publication as soon as today, is a win for the nuclear industry which seeks what its proponents call a “new normal” for radiation exposure among the U.S population, according Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER).
