The Anti-Media – by John Vibes
According to a number of global mainstream media sources, the Pentagon is covering up a disturbing video that was never made public with the rest of the recent torture report.
According to various well respected journalists, including Seymour Hersh, the appalling video was recorded at Abu Ghraib, the notorious US torture dungeon in Iraq that made headlines roughly a decade ago, when the inhumane tactics being used at the prison were exposed.
Sadly, it seems that the evidence released years ago was only scratching the surface.
While the video has remained under wraps thus far, Hersh says it is only a matter of time before it comes out.
Giving a speech at the ACLU last week after the senate torture report was initially released, Hersh gave some insight into what was on the Pentagon’s secret tape.
In the most revealing portion of his speech he said that:
“Debating about it, ummm … Some of the worst things that happened you don’t know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib … The women were passing messages out saying ‘Please come and kill me, because of what’s happened’ and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It’s going to come out.”
“It’s impossible to say to yourself how did we get there? Who are we? Who are these people that sent us there? When I did My Lai I was very troubled like anybody in his right mind would be about what happened. I ended up in something I wrote saying in the end I said that the people who did the killing were as much victims as the people they killed because of the scars they had, I can tell you some of the personal stories by some of the people who were in these units witnessed this. I can also tell you written complaints were made to the highest officers and so we’re dealing with a enormous massive amount of criminal wrongdoing that was covered up at the highest command out there and higher, and we have to get to it and we will. We will. You know there’s enough out there, they can’t (Applause). …. So it’s going to be an interesting election year.”
Put into context with another speech that Hersh gave earlier this year, it becomes clear that the women who witnessed these young boys being raped were actually their mothers.
At a speech in Chicago this past June Hersh was quoted as saying:
“You haven’t begun to see evil… horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run.”
Other stories at the London Guardian also talked of young Iraqi detainees getting violently raped by US soldiers.
Ten years ago when the initial Abu Ghraib scandal was in the news, the Guardian published the testimony of an Abu Ghraib detainee who allegedly witnessed one of these brutal attacks.
Former detainee Kasim Hilas said in their testimony that:
“I saw [name blacked out] f#@king a kid, his age would be about 15-18 years. The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets. Then when I heard the screaming I climbed the door because on top it wasn’t covered and I saw [blacked out], who was wearing the military uniform putting his dick in the little kid’s ass, I couldn’t see the face of the kid because his face wasn’t in front of the door. And the female soldier was taking pictures.”
Now, over a decade later the evidence of these events are beginning to surface, but the Department of Defense is still doing their best to keep it under the radar. That is why now more than ever, it is important to keep the pressure on and force the release of this evidence, while the torture report is fresh in the minds of the general population.

This is beyond demented! This cannot be justified in any manner in the name of getting information. They cannot walk away with simply a slap on the wrist!!
Im not saying it didnt happen but wouldnt this be another perfect story to make the world hate the US even more? It’s the kind of story that really brings out the rage.
Sick as sick can get. What’s just as bad is the cover up by the chain of command. Where are these soldiers today, not only the man doing the deed but also the female videographer. These people need to be sitting in Leavenworth for a very long time. Instead, they probably got medals and hand shake for a job well done.
So when this IS released, and the people in this country do nothing, are we(patriots) going to sit on our fat asses and allow children to be raped in OUR NAME?
GOD DAMN IT THESE F#CK(NG SICKOS NEED TO BE DEALT WITH. Im sick of sitting around to hear the next wave of worse news. Who is with me?
Among you all, who is willing to continue letting this happen? In yours and your children’s names no less.
Are you all just as f#cked in the noggin? OR are you all just so warm and cozy in your slave made blankets eating your poison laced fiat food?
You are either in this to win it or you are my enemy, and an enemy to any sense of morality.
And there will be radio show callers (shills) saying “boys will be boys”. FOX/Hannity/Limbaugh have ruined this country.
This is the reason there is so much suicide in the US Army ranks. People did this, saw this or know of this and cannot handle it.
OK – FREEDOM MEDALS for everyone….Bush, Cheney, Clinton..oh yeah, already have them……. so will Americans and the world just shrug this off? Or will these vile, depraved, demons hang for their crimes? The sad truth maybe that because all the world’s leaders are now being exposed as a bunch of child killing pedophiles – there simply is no place to turn where any kind of justice is possible. They are all compromised and in on it….crimes against mankind from all the ranks of the ruling elite – CIA has long been known as the very Heart of Darkness…..but it goes deeper than the CIA and the military, Senator Grassley reported they found 5300 computers at the Pentagon with child porn on them-but the investigation never went anywhere…………Senator NAncy Shaffer was about to blow the cover off of a government wide pedophile ring…..and they killed her. Evidently the high offices of the USG are rotted to the core………..there is no one to bring these horrible monsters up on charges….
Kinda makes us look like the Japanese during the Rape of Nanking. I can’t believe what we’ve become.
Now I know why all those “Support Our Troops” ribbons have disappeared.
And these men are our nations heroes, we should respect them, give them free stuff. Hang the bastards on the white house lawn and let them hang there and rot.
