Long time GMD readers will recall that Daily Kos blogging sooperstar David Waldman (aka Kagro X) was a front pager for the site roundabout our second year. Well, our buddy David is getting higher profile all the time, and was recently on CNN…
David pulls no punches. Great stuff.
This was fantastic. Whenever I get fed up with the Dems and just wanna say “fuck ’em all,” out comes something great as this and reminds me I’m right where I want to be. It’s folks like Kagro X that are doing the brunt work of making the Dems a better party. Not the politicians.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote at great length in “The Gulag Archipelago” about the Stalinist reasons for and styles of torture.
Interestingly enough the “interrogation” (ie torture) sessions were routinely preceded by sleep deprivation usually done through enforced standing for days on end. The brutality, just like that performed by the cheney/bush good Nazis, then escalated with only one purpose in mind: a confession … to anything Stalin’s goons wanted one to confess to.
In one confessed to whatever, the torture would end. If one were to claim in the courts that one was tortured into confession, one was returned to the torture chambers.
That is the nature of our federal government today, and that nature is aided and abetted by Barack Obama as much as any of the rest of the good Nazis.
