I don't think any sane American thinks this will set a \r\n\t\t\tgood precedent.But more importantly, if you look at Homan Square from a historical \r\n\t\t\tperspective, the implications of its existence are far more gut \r\n\t\t\twrenching. Most despotic regimes utilize a wide variety of terror \r\n\t\t\ttactics to keep their people in line, but the ability to make \r\n\t\t\tsomeone disappear (which is exactly what this facility is capable \r\n\t\t\tof) is the most effective.Why? Because it preys upon two of the most prolific human fears.\n\nFirst of all, there is our inherent fear of the unknown. \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n \n\nWhen \r\n\t\t\tsomeone disappears without a trace, our imaginations will eventually \r\n\t\t\tconcoct the worst possible explanation. And without knowing exactly \r\n\t\t\thow it happened, we have to accept the possibility that it could \r\n\t\t\thappen to us as well, and there is no way to stop it. \n \n\nSo if your \r\n\t\t\tgovernment is capable of this, then you have every reason to follow \r\n\t\t\tthe rules and stay in line. You never know when you might be next. \n\nWhich brings me to the second fear. It preys upon our fear of other \r\n\t\t\tpeople. \n \n\nThere are plenty of phobias that humans are capable of, but \r\n\t\t\tnothing is more terrifying than what your fellow humans might do to \r\n\t\t\tyou when nothing can stop them. \n \n\nSnakes can bite you, bears can eat \r\n\t\t\tyou, and water can drown you, but only your fellow humans are \r\n\t\t\tcapable of torturing you, and only your fellow humans know what will \r\n\t\t\thurt you the most. \n \n\nCombine that with the fear of the unknown, and \r\n\t\t\tyou now have the most effective method of terror and control.\n\nBut there's also a third factor that makes this tactic so effective. \r\n\t\t\tMost people don't know it, because only those who have been \r\n\t\t\t\"disappeared\" know the awful truth.\n\r\n\t\t\tFor a better explanation, I'd like cite one of the most underrated \r\n\t\t\thistorians of our time, Dan Carlin. \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\nIf you're a history buff and \r\n\t\t\tyou've never heard of him, you don't know what you're missing. He \r\n\t\t\tdoesn't just know what he's talking about, he knows how to relate \r\n\t\t\thistory to our lives in the present.\n\r\n\t\t\tIn this short video, he explains why the Nazis and Soviets were able \r\n\t\t\tto convince millions of people to enslave and murder their \r\n\t\t\tcountrymen. When we think of the Nazis, we often believe their \r\n\t\t\tcontrol was fostered by their propaganda efforts, but that was only \r\n\t\t\tone small piece of the puzzle. \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\nIn reality, their grip on the \r\n\t\t\tpopulation was built upon their ability to make people disappear...\r\n \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\n\r\n\t\t\tKeep that in mind when you read about Homan Square. \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\nIf that place is \r\n\t\t\tan isolated incident, there may still be time to stop these secret \r\n\t\t\tfacilities before they usher in a new age of terror. But if there \r\n\t\t\tare already dozens of these \"Homan Squares\" out there that we don't \r\n\t\t\tknow about, and they're just getting warmed up, we may have passed \r\n\t\t\tthe point of no return...\n\r\n\t\t\t \n\nIf we ever become a country where everyone \r\n\t\t\tis afraid of disappearing for the slightest reason, then we are on \r\n\t\t\tthe fast track to the kind of goose stepping tyranny that we've only \r\n\t\t\tread about...\n\r\n\t\t\t \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\r\n\t\t\t \n\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t \n\nWhile US military and \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tintelligence interrogation impacted people overseas, \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHoman Square - said to house military-style vehicles \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand even a cage - focuses on American citizens, most \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\toften poor, black and brown. \n\n'When you go in,' \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBrian Jacob Church told the Guardian, 'nobody \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tknows what happened to you.' \n\nVideo: Phil Batta for \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Guardian; editing: Mae Ryan\n\n\n\nSource\n\r\n\t\t\t \n\n\n\nReturn to American \"Empire\"\n\n\n\nReturn to Big Brother Loves You...\n \n "
