4. This is "non impact torture"
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 11:11 PM by teryang
Torture which doesn't leave any marks but is torture all the same. Some active duty military personnel experience these techniques in their training for possible capture. Not leaving a mark is a propaganda or concealment technique to allow plausible denial. Originally collection and development of this knowledge or tradition was purportedly for the purpose of training to prepare for the "enemy's violations of the Geneva Conventions." Now like our alleged defense against biological warfare it has become something else entirely.

For many people if you can't see the results, it isn't torture. This is the problem with the dumbed down population, if they can't see it, it isn't real. If you've ever experienced these techniques or observed their effects over even as short a time as a few hours, you know its torture. Try getting into a stress position in a concrete cell, virually naked, cold with a wet floor, or overheated and humid, for even a short a period as sixteen hours with no opportunity to relieve oneself or to consume water. Try standing up for eight hours straight while listening heavy metal played backwards at intensities to close those which damage your hearing. Do this after going without sleep for two days. Some persons breakdown after only a few hours IN A TRAINING SITUATION. Other persons with strong wills or dominance oriented personalities may last for considerable periods but may die or go nuts in the process over a prolonged period.
