C.I.A. Torture and Secrecy.

December 30, 2013 at 8:00 P.M. I was obstructed in efforts to access my dashboard from my home laptop, again, by N.J.-based hackers making use of government computers. I will struggle to write from public computers during the week. ("How censorship works in America.")

December 23, 2013 at 6:55 P.M. I am required to visit New Jersey, briefly, during the holidays. Please do not approach me as a "friend" -- or even speak to me -- if you have cooperated with my enemies. 

Any communication with me will be posted online. I will remain silent if questioned about any matters pertaining to my writings. 

Any alleged "tape recording" of a conversation with me during these holidays will be a fabrication -- "fabrication of evidence" is nothing new for New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics. 

I wonder whether Miles Feinstein, Esq. has visited my sites? I wish Mr. Feinstein luck with his troubles. I do not envy Mr. Feinstein.

"WASHINGTON -- The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the CIA for an internal study done by the agency that lawmakers believe is broadly critical of the CIA's detention and interrogation program but was withheld from Congressional oversight committees." (emphasis added!)

When so-called "regulators" of the intelligence community cannot receive the compliance of the very government operatives they seek to regulate, the issue arises of whether the CIA regulates the Senate and other officials, or whether such officials -- or, indeed, the rule of law! -- operates as a constraint on the actions taken, secretly, by the CIA? 

I suspect that the CIA -- and other intelligence and quasi-military entities -- have become out-of-control, self-governing power centers that are disdainful of President Obama and other elected officials, officials who are often intimidated in efforts to control the military-industrial-intelligence complex best seen in the N.S.A.'s and CIA's secrecy. ("N.S.A. Spying is Illegal" and "America's Drone Murders.")

Perhaps Mr. Rabner and New Jersey's judiciary faced a similar dilemma with the OAE and state police in connection with my matters? ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")

The psychological torture of persons developed by the CIA and "others" dates from the sixties at least: 1). the "Bluebird" program; 2). the FBI's "Countel-Pro" methods; and 3). post-9/11 "Enhanced" or alternative interrogation techniques -- including waterboarding, sleep deprivation, food deprivation, hostile and aggressive violations of privacy and autonomy, isolation, ostracism, sexual and other assaults have been common tactics used to control inmates in U.S. prisons that have been surreptitiously exported to the society at large. Terry Tuchin is a specialist in these methods. ("American Doctors and Torture" and "Obama Says Torture is a Secret.") 

The targets of these socially used "touchless torture" tactics have been almost exclusively minority group members and many women, usually persons who are politically active for radical causes. Lynne F. Stewart? Marilyn Straus? ("Psychological Torture in the American Legal System" and "Justice For Mumia Abu-Jamal" then "The FBI Wants Assata Shakur" and "Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")

The CIA is intensely secretive, by definition, and like most intelligence agencies, fears the discovery of its methods and crimes by others who may use them against the agency. Secrets are best kept in the house. 

There is also a legitimate concern on the part of the agency that disclosures of the ugly truth -- including any manipulations of distinguished Americans unaware that they have been "played" -- will reveal lies and identities of agents, often "disinformation" provided under oath by lawyers and operatives working for the agency. 

Disclosure of CIA sins would allow victims from all over the world (who are still living) to pursue their legal remedies, which would be a terrible thing for the CIA and a wonderful result for the victims. 

No doubt similar thinking applies at New Jersey's OAE that is seeking to protect "CIA psychiatrist" Terry Tuchin and lesbian "therapist" Diana Lisa Riccioli. ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli" and "John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption" then "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

"According to people who have read [the Senate's secret study of this matter,] it is unsparing in its criticism of the now-defunct [I doubt it!] program and presents a chronicle of CIA officials' repeatedly misleading [LYING TO] the White House, Congress and the public about the value of the brutal methods that in the end, produce little valuable intelligence." ("Nihilists in Disneyworld.")

This sounds very much like the OAE. ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!" and "What did you know, Mr. Rabner, and when did you know it?")

The CIA wishes to continue to torture people, especially to use psychological methods and manipulations, and for those methods not to be widely known to the public. Ideally, the "dirty laundry" can be washed at home. 

This, again, sounds similar to the OAE's tactics in my matters, where the Trenton agency violates its own ethics rules and statutory law to deny the truth to victims of heinous tortures, while intimidating lawyers, judges, cops as well as politicians in the Garden State who may demand the truth. ("Marilyn Straus Was Right!" and "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison.")

The Senate's report is still classified and has been read by few people as well as costing (so far) $40 MILLION of the people's money. 

Probably even the minimal Senate efforts to curb CIA abuses of privacy by way of hypnosis-based manipulations and drugging, along with classic psychological torture techniques, will come to nothing, especially if they are mostly ignored in the media. ("Is America's Legal Ethics a Lie?" and "Legal Ethics Today" then "American Doctors and Torture.")

Whether I will receive a response from Trenton to my requests for the truth is uncertain at this time:

I do not know the whereabouts of Marilyn Straus, d.o.b. May 24, 1959, formerly of Roselle, New Jersey, and Executive Producer at Univision, Miami, Florida. Many women have, apparently, assumed her identity at some point during recent years. I cannot say whether she is alive. I am told that Ms. Straus is incarcerated. I am concerned that Ms. Straus may "disappear" -- like several women in the Dominican Republic recently -- women who are associated with Mr. Menendez and/or Alicia Mucci and/or Diana Lisa Riccioli. ("Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes" and "Web Site Denies Link to Menendez Case.")

"President Obama ended the detention program as one of his first acts in the Oval Office, and has repeatedly denounced the CIA's interrogation program. During a speech in May, he said that the United States had 'compromised our basic values by using torture to interrogate our enemies, and detaining individuals in a way that ran counter to the rule of law.' ... "

The American people are entitled to know the truth in order to control the CIA's extra-legal behavior or any government criminality. 

Amnesty International has suggested that CIA tactics are designed to delay efforts to gather the truth so that the agency can escape liability. The same accusation is made against New Jersey's absurdly named Office of Attorney Ethics (OAE). (Again: "Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy.")

Please end the continued human suffering caused by cover-ups, lies, obstructions of justice, tampering with witnesses, and other OAE actions aimed at protecting guilty lawyers and those who cooperated with them, Mr. Rabner. An agency that, allegedly, has paid for false testimony is hardly competent to judge the ethics of attorneys in your state. ("John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption" and "Marilyn Straus Was Right!" then "Diana's Friend Goes to Prison" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")

Is this massive and criminal cover-up an example of New Jersey's legal ethics, Mr. Rabner?
