Title: Cheney Exposes Torture Conspiracy
Cheney admits crime of torture? Just a reminder of how we got here to criminal prosecution of Rumsfeld

If the United States had a functioning criminal justice system for the powerful – not just for run-of-the-mill offenders – former Vice President Dick Cheney would have convicted himself and some of his Bush administration colleagues with his comments on ABC’s “This Week.”
On Sunday, Cheney pronounced himself “a big supporter of waterboarding,” a near-drowning technique that has been regarded as torture back to the Spanish Inquisition and that has long been treated by U.S. authorities as a serious war crime, such as when Japanese commanders were prosecuted for using it on American prisoners during World War II.

It's now over two weeks since veteran Justice Department (DOJ) lawyer David Margolis dashed the hopes of those seeking accountability for the Bush administration's torturers, but this is a story of such profound importance that it must not be allowed to slip away.
Margolis decided that an internal report into the conduct of John Yoo and Jay S. Bybee, who wrote the notorious memos in August 2002, which attempted to redefine torture so that it could be used by the CIA, was mistaken in concluding that both men were guilty of "professional misconduct," and should be referred to their bar associations for disciplinary action.
Instead, Margolis concluded, in a memo that shredded four years of investigative work by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), the DOJ's ethics watchdog, that Yoo and Bybee had merely exercised "poor judgment." As lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), which is charged with providing objective legal advice to the executive branch on all constitutional questions, Yoo and Bybee attempted to redefine torture as the infliction of physical pain "equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death," or the infliction of mental pain which "result[s] in significant psychological harm of significant duration e.g. lasting for months or even years."

Bill Gates talks about ‘vaccines to reduce population’
Vatic Note: After reading this, if you do not feel outraged, then you have missed the point. Please read this one all the way through to understand that Eugenics research, that was begun in the 1920's and advanced in the 30's & 40's by the Rockefeller foundation and other robber barons through Dr. Mengeles under Nazi rule. It is not only alive and well today, but further along than at anytime in its history and with the robber baron's control over governments and the secret advancements in technology now at unprecedented levels, it is almost beyond control. This will give you a strong background of the players, the level of money, and the victims intended to be eugenicized, if that is a word. The inhumane part about all this is if they had tried bringing people together globally and brought them on board re: the population issue, it could have resulted in a more inclusive, humane, and creative treatment of the problem, than those being offered by the few, the perverted and the incestuous, all because of a misplaced sense of Godhood brought on by their wealth.

Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates, projects an image of a benign philanthropist using his billions via his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to tackle diseases, solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a recent conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his philanthropy—population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics.
