C.I.A. Torture Psychologists James Mitchell And Bruce Jessen War Crimes Against Humanity Plan C.I.A. "Torture Chamber" Depravities Endorsed By CIA With American Psychological Association Top Officials Collusion Per Report

     Sunday, 3 May 2015, NEW YORK, NY- As in the aftermath of any modern day atrocity with worldwide impact degrading all human civilization and causing intense human suffering and misery there must be a large number of intimately involved culpable persons later in great personal fear of the inevitable march of justice bearing down on them demanding in civilized societies official public prosecution such that the continued aggressive avoidance of this inevitability comes to obsess their thoughts and determine their actions since no matter what the scope of their punishment they keenly are aware it hardly could be compared in scope and degree to the intensity of the sadistic depravity of the pain they have inflicted upon other human beings with perceived impunity, in the United States today for far too long such has been the case of not addressed by swift justice acts of atrocity committed by the as yet unprosecuted responsible participants at large in the irrefutably documented Bush Administration C.I.A. years-long torture program war crimes against humanity atrocities who from the outset had been joined in their deviously demented torture program and moreover in time actively enabled and encouraged by supposed "professionals" as thoroughly documented officially and communicated elsewhere publicly in widespread media reports as well as in many previous posts here with links provided to countless primary sources with torture-enabling professionals extending from legal hacks for hire stretching from the White House to the CIA to the Department of Justice to "medical professional" psychologist whores James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen who were paid $180 million by the C.I.A. to design its bogus depraved human torture program on the basis of no credible "interrogation" training or "torture" experience (such evidently being a valid job requirement for psychologists) whatsoever other than as now turns out what justification willingly and enthusiastically was provided after the fact by top officials of the American Psychological Association in support of their whore members' "work" with its officials supplicating themselves by encouragement of of torture with C.I.A. officials who with very good reason were most eager to suck others into responsibility for the cruelty of their criminal calamity extremely concerned that their and those for whom they were responsible actions were legally, evidently "medically" by psychology standards anyway, ethically and morally defensible or in other words would keep the whole  filthy guilty gang of them out of prison or worse.
     The details and extent of that encouragement or "bolstering" by American Psychological Association officials is well presented including the latest emerged supporting clear email evidence by Mr. James Risen reporting in the New York Times article of late last week linked to below. It may be of tangential interest to some readers that African-American attorney former C.I.A. officer Jeffrey Sterling for providing classified information to Mr. Risen not related to the matter at hand was last January 2015 convicted in U.S. Federal District Court in Alexandria, Virginia of espionage for which the U.S. government has sought a sentence of 19-24 years in prison consistent with the apparently not that "transparent" Obama Administration's severe crackdown to date on a "string" of federal employees and contractors who have been believed to have disclosed confidential information to news reporters. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder later admitted after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to rule on Mr. Risen's refusal to reveal sources that the Obama administration had "gone too far" in its crackdown as to reporters revealing sources.
     In any case what may turn out to be a most fortuitous turn of events for Mr. Sterling just the day before his scheduled 24 April 2015 sentencing hearing as reported here former CIA "love note" Director ex-General David Petraeus had been sentenced only to two years probation and a fine for "grave" breaches of confidentiality of national security information. (The Washington Post has dubbed Petraeus "[f]rom hero to zero".) Consequently with the outcry of his attorneys at the expected injustice of the laughable sentencing of the connected white ex-General vs. the 9-14 years recommended for the solitary black man Mr. Sterling's sentencing now has been continued to 11 May 2015. Finally the attorney for Edward J. Snowden who currently is exiled in Russia for disclosures to the press of N.S.A. unconstitutional mass surveillance and metadata collection states that his client Snowden is "under investigation" by the Department of Justice while he has made previous complaints about the "two-tier" system of justice for those charged with disclosing confidential information in a Foreign Policy online article linked to below and doubtless now also will point to the Petraeus case as pertinent to any prosecution of Mr. Snowden and his other "whistle-blower" clients        In any case back to the above report for anyone still following this responding late last year to the first public allegations against the American Psychological Association of its "bolstering" of the C.I.A.'s torture program a decade earlier in 2004 by hob-nobbing with and actually formulating torture compliant psychological practice "guidelines" while also helping its new C.I.A. psychological and "behavioral health" colleagues in manipulating the language of the C.I.A.'s own torture guidelines so as presumably to try to shield Bush Administration and C.I.A. officials and their increasingly nervous Department of Justice counterparts form liability and provide them some "medical justification" that not only were the members of the whole war crimes against humanity atrocities conspiracy doing no medical or legal wrong but that all could continue with impunity to support the torture of human beings which the C.I.A. then did for a few more years with the actual C.I.A. operative and contractor torturers sick enough to bear actually remaining on-site(s) in any case completely ignoring the torture guidelines as they haphazardly devised new depraved methods of cruel and unusual punishment pointlessly inflicting agonizing pain on humans whom they had kidnapped and/or captured which torture succeeded in producing no information of any reliability or any practical use whatsoever the American Psychological Association nevertheless has maintained in a letter linked to below it did nothing at all wrong but in any case last November 2014 engaged David Hoffman of the "white shoe" Washington, D.C. law firm Sidley Austin to conduct an "independent review" on the alleged collusion of his client's top psychologist officials with the C.I.A. in the American Psychological Association condoning and encouraging torture practices with which review Mr. Hoffman has not yet finished but hopes to before summer although in the meantime dissident health professionals and human rights activists who are not paid by the hour and work more quickly have already finished and just released their utterly damning report which is accessible in Mr. Risen's article linked to below.
     Letters to the editor follow in the second link below first concerning "deeply troubled" officials at the American Psychological Association denying assistance to the Bush Administration in justifying its use of torture and emphasizing that its "psychologists are prohibited from participating in torture" and referring readers who care to go to its website to read its policy on psychologists participation in interrogation. Next in the second link below comes an extremely severe utterly condemning letter from dissident psychologists expressing hope the report just released will bring finally an "end to the corruption embedded at the top" in the leadership of the American Psychological Association presumably meaning they all will be booted out permanently as they "provided loopholes for American psychologists to work in torture chambers" whose "duty to 'do no harm' and promote human health and the public good" they "blithely traded" for "access to power and privilege" which "is an ethical scandal of the highest degree."' The final letter to the editor last in the second link below is from the American Psychiatric Association making clear the "intensity of opposition" of that organization to the use of torture much less the participation of any its physicians in the practice of either torture or interrogation (in case any readers were confusing psychiatrists with psychologists.)
     The Ninth Amendment without editorial comment refers readers interested in more information to the below links referenced previously which are: (1) Mr. Risen's article reporting the findings of the report on the psychological association "bolstering" of CIA torture; (2) letters to the editor from the psychological association, dissident psychologists, and the psychiatric association; (3) Vanity Fair article detailing the background of psychologists James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen and the torture program they concocted for the C.I.A. for $180 million; (4) article on espionage conviction of Jeffrey Sterling for disclosing information to Mr. Risen unrelated to any provision of information to Mr. Risen in this matter; (5) and (6) articles regarding prosecutors urging severe 9-14 year sentence for Mr. Sterling then complicated by intervening Petraeus grave national security breaches getting misdemeanor probation and fine; and (7) Mr. Snowden's attorney's Foreign Policy online article alleging a "two-tiered" justice system for those disclosing confidential information.

Congress Slams DEA "Completely Out Of Control" As Drug Cartel Hosted Sex Parties Scandal Widens To Include DEA Regional Official Soliciting Prostitutes

     Wednesday, 15 April 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressional House Oversight Committee lawmakers at a hearing yesterday excoriated DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart disclosing greatly expanded revelations from and commencing a Congressional investigation based on a Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) report released last month detailing extensive DEA agent misconduct earlier reported here now said to extend back to 2001 and not only including drug cartel hosted sex parties at which agents checked their weapons with some accepting cash, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members, but also at which agents had their laptop computers and other electronic devices present and which included a newly reported but unverified account of a DEA Assistant Regional Administrator soliciting prostitutes to attend a "going away" party.
     Congressional lawmakers outraged over perceived light punishment of DEA agents suspended for two to ten days over recently reported misconduct by attending drug cartel hosted sex parties in Colombia included the House Oversight Committee's chairman declaring that agents who had repeatedly engaged in serious misconduct, including jeopardizing national security, should be stripped of their national security clearances and be fired over what the chairman called "truly breathtaking restlessness". DEA Administrator Leonhart responded to House Oversight Committee members that she had neither the power to revoke agents' national security clearances nor fire them for such misconduct.
     "Honestly, what power do you have?" continued another Congressional committee member who then rebuked DEA Administrator Leonhart that "[y]ou have to work with agents over whom you can't discipline and have no control. What the hell do you get to do?" Administrator Leonhart apparently did not answer. The Ninth Amendment without editorial response to the preceding nor comment on any of the content of this post refers readers interested in more information on the above hearing including more details of the DOJ IG's Report on DEA agents' and officials' lengthy list of continuing abuses to the below link.

Regarding Veteran's Administration "Scandals" Professor Paul Krugman Nobel Peace Prize Winner New York Times Columnist Cautions Readers Not Rush To Judgment Despite Media Hysteria

       Sunday, 22 June 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Nobel Peace Prize Winner New York Times (Uncompensated) Daily "The Conscience of a Liberal" Columnist Princeton University Economics Professor (and the Ninth Amendment Editorial Board is not sure exactly what else) Paul Krugman in a Thursday, 19 June 2014 column presented verbatim in its entirety as fair comment accessible by interested readers via the link below argues why more thoughtful persons may wish to exercise pause before rushing to judgment regarding information presented to them which facts on cursory examination may seem to be susceptible to but one "correct" interpretation but on further examination with more complete background context may not necessarily be exactly what it seems nor be presented in some cases solely for the necessarily "innocent" good-intentioned motives which readers might quite naturally be expected to impugn.
       In the following piece Professor Krugman raises the question whether the furiously fueled Veteran's Administration hypermedia scandal may be to some extent be instigated by the calculated manipulation of parties with agendas which some observers might not otherwise immediately expect as well as demonstrating to the Ninth Amendment's editorial board one of a great many persons such as Professor Krugman win a Nobel Peace Prize while members of the Ninth Amendment's editorial board and staff have not. The editorial board however does take this opportunity unambiguously to communicate that we in fact are available to accept the Nobel Peace Prize and the accompanying one million dollar "stipend" -- including any inflation or cost of living upward adjustments -- should duty call upon us to do so.

Corrupt Texas GOP Scandals Mounting Apparent Election Year Blunders Governor Candidate Abbott PAC Labels Texas Women "Hoes", A.G. Candidate Paxton Non-Disclosure Fine Launches Investigations, Perry UT-Regent Defiant Wallace Hall Faces Texas House Impeachment, Sitting Grand Jury Calls Various Perry Cronies, Trailing GOP Lt. Governor Dewey Denies Role Handing GOP Opponent Patrick's Psych Records To Media, "Dark Money" Haunts All Republicans, State And Federal GOP Criminal Investigations Reportedly Commence As Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry Stays Course For GOP Disaster Hiring Personal Defense Counsel

       Wednesday, 21 May 2014, AUSTIN - Well it may just seem like business as usual from Texas Republicans point of view but unfortunately for Texas GOP candidates, appointees, cronies, donors and assorted other corrupt hangers-on who once apparently felt "made" by the seemingly lifetime guaranteed protection of now lame-duck Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry the start to this year's Texas state election season would seem to suggest that that will not be the case. At all. With the worst doubtless yet to come, and come, and come.
       Unfortunately for this gang of thieves and fools the rather ill-concealed cronyism of which Perry actually boasted, corruption permeating all levels of state government touched by Perry's seemingly interminable governorship, and doubtless near-countless as yet untold but soon to be discovered misdeeds, improper motives, criminal acts and conspiracies can be expected to result with many GOP sycophants either ratting each other out and/or inevitably finding their way to new long "terms" but this time behind prison bars with significantly less pay and zero good true hard-working Texans' Lone Star state tax dollars to waste, misuse and steal.
       Those Perryites who find themselves at the bottom of the Republican-on-Republican food chain feeding frenzy may be best advised to get down on their knees and pray if so inclined (with someone other than Idiot Perry the "Zero Million Ninety Dollar Man" doing his phony preaching) that all time spent in the enforced "care and feeding" of the State be spent behind federal rather than Texas state prison bars for reasons previously reported upon in earlier posts here in the Ninth Amendment.

Texas Republican Corrupt Scandals Growing Idiot Governor Perry "Overnight" Disguise Change Real Cowboy To Graying Academic

       Thursday, 15 May 2014, AUSTIN - True whereabouts unknown amidst the tightening noose of Texas Republican officials' corruption disclosures Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry's latest handlers released suddenly doctored photos portraying the "new" unrecognizable bespectacled lame-duck apparently to evoke the appearance of some sort of academic presumably to distance himself from decades of his sordid past or facilitate his escape from the United States should that become necessary.
       Meanwhile the "brain-dead still standing" Perry's latest handlers ghost-penned a letter allegedly signed with the Texas Governor's tell-tale rubber stamp "X" signature in which he supposedly urged U-T regents not to raise out-of-state tuition while urging nothing regarding their plan to drop at two U-T campuses degree programs from 168 to 137, at which rate there in five years would be no degree programs whatsoever remaining at the two institutions.
       Happily for Republican sycophants unable to secure high-paying do-nothing sweetheart appointments paid for by the sweat and blood of true hard-working Texans instead of being forced back to the mercy of unemployment and other social programs they have slashed, in the wake of widespread Democratic victories this fall in the Lone Star state these corrupt Republican parasites may be able to lock in high-paying "academic" positions for which they are manifestly unsuited but presumably difficult to remove.
       Given that the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment after years of careful observation of the uniformly horrible policy, mean-spirited actions of Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry paid for by a handful of "dark money" so-called "donors" such as those now bankrolling Moron Republican AG Gregg Abbott hopeful for Texas' next corrupt Republican Governor contrary to the well-being of all true honest hard-working citizens of the Lone Star state, the Ninth Amendment deems the facially benevolent screed penned on behalf of Perry urging against U-T tuition hikes to be as about as genuine as a prediction that the Triple Crown could be won by a dead horse.

Impeachment Of Perry U-Texas Regent Republican Appointee Wallace Hall Voted Overwhelmingly By House Committee For Violating Criminal State And Federal Law At Perry's Direction

     Tuesday, 13 May 2014, AUSTIN - Texas Republican criminal corruption scandals widened as lame-duck Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry's decades of criminal acts and cover-ups continued to unravel as a Texas house committee voted 7-1 to charge landmark specific articles of impeachment against Perry U-T Regent appointee alleged criminal Wallace Hall reportedly placed by brain-dead Perry to perpetrate further state and federal criminal acts from Republican Wallace's "inside" position, with Wallace relentlessly attacking fellow state officials in ill-disguised illegal efforts to oust UT-Austin President Bill Powers.
     With the prison doors one step closer to slamming shut on lame-duck Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry the laser-sighted six-shooter carrying in his running shorts Governor-In-Absence Perry's spokespersons denied all requests Idiot Perry demand Wallace's resignation. However behind the scenes Perry sycophants presumably hastened plans to escape to asylum in Japan should Moron Republican AG Gregg "Dark Money" Abbott not buy the upcoming Texas gubernatorial election with his complete lack of popular support among true hard-working Texans giving their blood and sweat to restore the Lone Star state to pre-Perry glory where they also can once again breathe clean air, drink clean water and earn a decent living wage for themselves and their families.
     Felons possibly soon to include Perry are not permitted to carry firearms for the safety of the general popuIation including coyotes. Meanwhile impeachment proceedings continue in coming days against state and federal Republican criminal suspect U-T Regent and fellow-Abbott Republican Wallace Hall for what will be only the third time they have been used in Texas history.

As Texas Republican AG Candidate Paxton's Non-Disclosure Fined By Texas Regulators Repbublican Candidates' Corruption Scandal Widens Federal SEC Complaint Filed

     Monday, 12 May 2014, AUSTIN - Close on the heels of the Texas Moron AG Greg "Dark Money" Abbott's hastening of a State investigation for contributions from Perry-favorite "dark money" predator lenders in Texas' upcoming election, as reported here in an earlier post, a complaint has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission based on a $1,000 fine levied by a Texas agency against Texas Republican state senator Ken Paxton, R-McKinney running for Abbott's soon-to-be-vacated AG position for working for a Texas financial firm while serving in office without registering with the State.
     The complaint filed by "fellow" Republican state representative Dan Branch, R-Dallas, would seem to confirm predictions that in the wake of Utah's Republican-on-Republican feeding frenzy that similar sordid dynamics, resulting in the resignation of the Utah Attorney General, could now have shifted to the wide-open Texas corruption scandals invited by lame-duck Idiot Texas Governor Rick "Payback" Perry who last year vetoed a bill passed by the Texas legislature to expose "dark money" interests.
     The criminally-inclined cadre of Utah, Texas and other opportunistic Payday / Title / "Short-Term" loan sharks and usurer "dark money" predator lenders formerly operating in Utah until booted out and reportedly moved operations and deep-cover election manipulation scams to Texas where they hope to bilk the hard-working people of the Lone Star State presumably of at least hundreds of millions dollars through their puppet Republican candidates. With the stakes getting so high Republicans have resorted as in Utah now to preying upon one another with public relations and more subversive attacks.
     As stated by Craig McDonald of Texans for Public Justice because each of these two latest Republicans embroiled in secretive financing matters already have a generously-described "questionable" history in matters regarding any type of real transparency or disclosure regarding their affairs in public office these "top" (at least for the time being) Republican candidates reportedly according to the San Antonio News-Express have been described as demonstrating they "don't appear to be committed to open government and transparency.
     "They may talk about it but when push comes to shove, they're not here on behalf of [Texas] voters and taxpayers with respect to open government," McDonald reportedly said.
