The prisoners—several thousand of them, clad in orange—were crowded behind
concertina wire. "The encampment they were in when we saw it at first looked
like one of those Hitler things, like a concentration camp, almost," Davis said.
"They're in there, in their little jumpsuits, outside in the mud. Their rest
rooms was running over. It was just disgusting. You didn't want to touch
anything. Whatever the worst thing that comes to your mind, that was it—the
place you would never, ever, ever, ever send your worst enemy."..

By way of orientation, the soldiers of the 372nd who were assigned guard duty at
the hard site were given a tour of the place. They saw the ordinary cellblocks
for Iraqi criminals and the highly restricted M.I. block, where the most "high
value" security detainees were held, during and pending interrogation, in
single-occupancy cells. "That's when I saw the nakedness," Javal Davis said.
"I'm like, 'Hey, Sarge, why is everyone naked?' You know—'Hey, that's the M.I.
That's what the M.I. does. That's the M.I. thing. I don't know.' 'Why do these
guys have on women's panties?' Like—'It's to break them.' " Davis was wide-eyed.
"Guys handcuffed in stress positions, in cells, no lights, no windows. Open the
door, turn the light on—'Oh my God, Allah.' Click, turn the light off, close the
door. It's like, Whoa, what is that? What the hell is up with all this stuff?
Something's not right here."

And you could inflict pain. "You also had stress positions, and you escalated
the stress positions," Davis said. "Hand-cuffs behind their backs, high up, in
very uncomfortable positions, or chained down. Then you had the submersion. You
put the people in garbage cans, and you'd put ice in it, and water. Or stick
them underneath the shower spigot naked. They'd be freezing." It was a routine,
he said: "Open a window while it was, like, forty degrees outside and watch them
disappear into themselves . . . before they go into shock."


.."We had some kind of incinerator at the end of
our building," Specialist Megan Ambuhl said. "It was this huge circular thing.
We just didn't know what was incinerated in there. It could have been people,
for all we knew—bodies." Sergeant Davis was not in doubt. "It had bones in it,"
he said, and he called it the crematorium. "But hey, you're at war," he said.
"Suck it up or drive on."
But,Last week there was a great deal of "humanitarian" concern about a marines
treatment of a puppy on a U-tube video.


War Criminals like air pilot Mc Cain pulling levers , or pressing buttons ,for dropping
bombs on helpless Vietnam civilians have long been able to disassociate their own
actions (like pilots over Hiroshima and Nagasaki) from real world reality and able to
pose as Amerikan heroes "fighting" what he terms "Gooks" the depersonalised
enemies of expanding empire .Nowadays ,lately this hero has sang the chant "bomb
bomb Iran" to the great pleasure of his fans. Literally.


The initial "Shock and Awe" attacks on the Iraqi people resembled nothing more than
the appearance of a Video game for those Americans and Australians chewing on
their TV dinners in between cheers. The end of the game was nothing less than the
tearing down by American tanks and mercenaries of a statue of Saddam Hussein.
Thereby demonstrating that unlike in the film "Planet of the Apes" that the Statue of
Liberty was invulnerable and ever victorious. Mission accomplished!


But, perhaps not as satisfying as a re-run of the military victory finale of the first
gulf war, when tens of thousands were slaughtered on the sitting duck-shoot
"Highway to Hell".
The video game market for persynal computers has not changed much in the last few
years. It seems to have reached a saturation point and the pc has lost out to Nintendo
and its imitations, the creations of billion dollar marketing businesses like Microsoft.


La Rouche, permanent economic crisis theorist and religious paranoid US patriot,
asks:
"Is the Devil in Your Laptop?"

And says, "Indeed, the Presidential candidates all, presently, stink. But why, thus far,
is today's 16-to-25-year-old generation, so unable to respond? Where is the youth
movement to address this crisis, and create a future for humanity?"


"There is a mass-based fascist movement on college campuses, today," LaRouche
said, identifying it as presently the greatest threat to the survival of our
nation. This threat, he said, has three faces:

*MySpace, directed by Rupert Murdoch
*Facebook, directed by Bill Gates
*Computer games, particularly the homicidal maniac versions.


If you allow an entire youth generation to be destroyed by these things,
La Rouche said, there will be no future for the United States.
Therefore, these three things, presently dominating our culture, must each be
destroyed, just as a contagious killer virus or bacteriological disease must be
properly diagnosed, and cured. This disease, of course, is not a biological one,
per se, but a mental and cultural disease. Our diagnosis, and a pathway towards
a cure, is what follows.


And, although the contents of this pamphlet will be immediately painful to the
minds of those readers, who might be intricately involved in "all the rave"
about MySpace, Facebook, and computer games, the joy of being freed from mental
slavery, thus engaging in solving our present world's dangerous problems, will,
in the longer term, greatly outweigh the short-term pain, of tearing yourself
from a beloved, but deadly, folly".


As well as the old shoot anything that moves games there are -
Government simulation games –resembling real world democracy whereby a small
subject can imagine himself as a mighty even sovereign state subject.
