Our 1776 Declaration of Independence declared our independence from the unitary executive, the English King, our rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and authorized our fight “to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.” Our 1787 Constitution was ratified "to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…" These words, together with the Bill of Rights, define the Founder's core purposes for our American government.
Neither the Declaration’s nor the Constitution's text authorize Congress to enable, empower, and fund US government terrorization and torture campaigns against anyone, anywhere. But both political parties in Congress have passed, and Presidents have signed, laws which empower and fund US government domestic and international terror and torture campaigns which directly contradict the Founder's core purposes for forming our goverment, and run amok over American values and the "unalienable rights" of the American People.
CONGRESS AND DOJ EMPOWER, FUND, AND SUSTAIN US GOVERNMENT TERRORIZATION AND TORTURE PROGRAMS
These domestic terrorization and torture campaigns have not included direct physical abuse such as waterboarding, but do use a variety of painful, frightening, and coercive methods. The examples below come from a few of the 57 years of federal government depravity experienced by one victim of the illegal bioweapon, rights, and racketeering program. Dennis has been an involuntary servant of this secret criminally indictable illegal federal government program since at least age 12 and is now 69. Soon after the 9/11 attacks, as funding for police powers operations was dramatically increased, the pace and intensity of indirect violence increased. Under NIAID Director/US Public Health Service Rear Admiral (1969-1996 retired) Fauci, US Attorney Rosenberg, and FBI Director Mueller in the early 2000s, and later under CIA Director Burns, Attorney General Garland, and Defense Secretary Austin in the 2020s, all of whom were direct participants in field operations in this illegal program in earlier years, he has secretly been subjected to:
a. toenail ripping required as a result of secret midnight striation of that toe to cause it to fracture while homeless;
b. remotely triggered extreme daily head pain for months while he was required to keep his eyes open at all times, and try to focus them on reading material, to avoid being ejected into the cold of Boston’s winter from the Boston Public Library, which enforced it’s no eyes closed rule for all visitors;
c. protracted painful muscle contractions in his extremities and torso; and
d. extended periods of sleep deprivation, among other torturous practices;
e. theft, crushing, and sidewalk “return” of his stolen, crushed, and destroyed eyeglasses needed for clear vision;
f. all while forcibly trafficked into homelessness in late 2005, after his business and income had been destroyed by FBI in fraudulent interstate commerce between 2002-2005;
g. ten months of fraudulent employment in 2007-2008, secretly trafficked again by an FBI agent who had conducted prior secret trafficking since the 1980s, this time using a different cover name and disguise, after he had been promoted to US Attorney;
h. abuse of an online dating app to line up a secret FBI video in his own apartment with a prominent porn star known to Dennis as a doting mother of three children;
i. theft of labor, materials, and equipment by his landlord just before removal;
j. kidnapping while again homeless, this time into six months of false imprisonment in a psychiatric facility in 2010-2011;
k. other extreme psychological coercion and physical violence in field operations over many years.
These campaigns also used a variety of other painful, frightening, and coercive methods, including sex trap attempts, racketeering frauds, indirect violence, and entrapment attempts. The abbreviated list above describes Dennis’ experiences with the indirect terrorization and torturous campaigns of US federal police powers. As described in the complaint and detailed evidence, many of these same methods have been used repeatedly since that time and continue to be used today against Dennis and others. These indirect forms of field terrorization and violence line up with many of the Senate Intelligence Committee's 20 findings in its 2014 Torture Investigation of CIA's illegal practices conducted at overseas black sites after 9/11, shown at the bottom of this page.
THE REAL WORLD OF US FEDERAL TERRORIZATION AND TORTURE CAMPAIGNS RUN INSIDE THE US
Federal departments and agencies can and do run these targeted terrorization (18 U.S.C. § 2337) and torture (18 U.S.C. § 2340B) campaigns against specific individuals or groups. Their targets include domestic and international victims of prohibited and illegal programs, whistleblowers, abused employees, or others. Government senior managers and political appointees identify these targets. This provides a convenient refuge for lawless public officials pursuing and covering up their own illegal agendas.
Once the victims are arbitrarily identified, secretly and without due process, by systematically abusing federal law and national security regulations, these campaigns:
(i) sustain corrupted secrecy and retain power within a small group of government officials for their self-protection,
(ii) provoke victims into violent acts used to criminalize and incarcerate the victim, and
(iii) conceal patterns of historical and current criminal acts and corruption in illegal government programs such as those described on this website - illegal bioweapon experiments on people, racketeering, and rights violations including torture and terrorization.
These campaigns are secretly conducted in public places and private spaces by small armies of people who each complete a single element of the overall pattern of abuse. Using indirect and non-contact means and the illegal bioweapon, lower level government employees are then required to conduct and participate in field operations to avoid retaliations against them for insubordination or whistleblowing.
These campaigns have been operated in increasingly coercive and deadly patterns across decades – all concealed from public disclosure by “national security” secrecy and the threat of criminal prosecution by whistleblowers and victims. The laws which enable these terrorization and campaigns, as written by Congress and signed by Presidents from both political parties, forbid federal courts from ordering government agencies to halt these practices when a victim brings a lawsuit for these violations of their “unalienable” constitutional rights, which include "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and the freedoms defined in the Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to our Constiution.
CORRUPT PROGRAMS PROMOTE AND REWARD CORRUPTED GENERATIONS OF SELECTED, GROOMED, AND TESTED US GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHILE SYSTEMATICALLY EXCLUDING OTHER HONEST PERSONNEL
Powerful executive branch and federal court personnel, with long-standing Army, CIA, and DOJ connections, had and do have plenty of incentive to orchestrate this personalized campaign of cover-up, terrorization, and torture to conceal their participation in this decades long pattern of federal corruption. A few examples follow:
Anthony Fauci, while NIAID Director and US Public Health Service Rear Admiral (1969-1996 retired) engaged in a remote orchestrated bioweapon brain hacking biochemical torture campaign of violent and painful induced muscle contractions, combined with coercive field psychological operations. Fauci was a member of the federal team led by Breyer (Army Intelligence and Harvard Law, later a Supreme Court Justice) which had secretly experimented on Dennis and other family members as human subjects for illegal bioweapon medical experiments under Breyer in the late 1960s. The US Public Health Service was also continuing to kill people in its illegal Tuskegee medical experiments from the 1930s into the early 1970s.
In this early 2000s period, Fauci was protected from criminal prosecution by Attorney General Gonzales (former White House Counsel to Bush 43), US attorneys in several federal districts including Rosenberg (formerly covert FBI agent), and by FBI Directors including Mueller (formerly in the false church run by Breyer which subjugated the family a few weeks after killing his 11 year sister with deliberate mis-medication). DOJ, FBI, Army, CIA, US Public Health Service, US Secret Service were all involved in these illegal federal operations. This era ended with Dennis’ human trafficking to Boston, Massachusetts, within months after King County Sheriff Reichert was elected to Congress in 2005. The local protection of the King County Sheriff’s Department was no longer available to continue the illegal scheme there once his successor took over that department.
More recently, CIA Director Burns has done the same, with the able support of the teams under DHS Secretary Mayorkas, FBI Director Wray, Attorney General Garland, and Defense Secretary Austin. CIA Director Burns was appointed by President Biden, confirmed by the Senate, and later promoted by Biden to a Cabinet position, one of the few times a CIA Director has ever been made a Cabinet officer. In 2021, as Burns became CIA Director, it again became far more physically violent and aggressive toward Dennis, a key bioweapon victim.
CIA Director Burns was personally acquainted with Dennis while Burns was in charge of the illegal bioweapon program in the 1980s and 1990s, during Dennis’ continuing illegal human trafficking and employment in involuntary servitude, while at a CIA cover company which also employed Roger Stone, the head of CIA’s South Africa banking espionage project in the first half of the 1980s.
During the later 1980s portion of the illegal bioweapon, racketeering, and rights program, Burns shared direct responsibility for private enterprise wrecking and for human trafficking with FBI, DOJ’s largest police powers agency. FBI's Rosenberg, who was later a US Attorney as mentioned above, then became FBI Chief of Staff to Director Comey, ran the human trafficking of Dennis from the 1980s into the 2010s. Both (i) a CIA/police powers Steven's Pass entrapment attempt, and (ii) a CIA double homicide attempt at Porteau Cove, British Columbia using a remotely triggered melatonin overdose to contrive deep sleep while driving failed.
In conspiracy with FBI and Army, Burns, CIA bioweapon program manager Burns then orchestrated the 1987-88 destruction of Dennis’ first marriage using oxytocin and an adulterous male at her office against Lynne, who herself had been previously twice married to an adulterous senior King County Sheriff Department officer. Burns, through a contractor working at the cover company which employed Dennis, then followed quickly with the 1988 introduction, and 1990 sham marriage of Dennis to Jeanette. Jeanette herself had been entrapped for bisexuality as a female enlisted soldier, then coerced and threatened with criminal prosecution into the sham relationship, while silenced from disclosing any of this to Dennis by the threat of criminal prosecution for violation of national security regulations. Jeanette had previously bravely served as an undercover national security asset in the Mideast while in the US Army, where she had most probably worked with CIA's Cornwell, an associate of Burns, who later managed international operations against Dennis by FBI, British MI-5, and Canadian CSIS intelligence agencies for a time.
Motive, means, opportunity, and discretionary authority combine to perpetuate fraudulent concealment, torture, and terrorization – all authorized by Congress, empowered by long line of Presidents, conducted by federal officials – and refused from federal courts. Unalienable rights, systematically trashed.
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN WHEN "UNALIENABLE" CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE SUPPOSEDLY GUARANTEED?
Specific, targeted, illegal, and constitutionally prohibited US terrorization and torture programs have and do operate against Americans and others from the 1950s into the present time. The specific examples of illegal and unethical conduct used on this web page are detailed and documented on other webpages and in downloads available on this website. These terroristic and torturous practices, used against this key bioweapon victim (Dennis) and an unknown number of others in the US and in other nations persist, because corrupt US government practices which violate rights, are given practical license by:
:
1. LAWS ADOPTED BY CONGRESS and signed by US Presidents – Republican and Democrat – such as the two described here from the 1990s, which prevent citizens from exposing the truth about these heinous practices, including:
a. President Bush 41 in 1992 signed into law 18 U.S. Code Chapter 113B TERRORISM, excerpted below, which specifically prevents US persons from suing government and its officials for terroristic government operations under this law.
b. President Clinton in 1994 signed into law 18 U.S. Code Chapter 113C TORTURE, excerpted below, which specifically prevents US persons from suing government and its officials for torturous treatment, in direct violation of the international Convention Against Torture, a treaty which the US ratified in 1992.
2. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFFICIAL SILENCE AND REFUSAL TO ACT sustain these unconstitutional and illegal practices by refusals to prosecute, and by continuing direct engagement in an associated-in-fact enterprise pattern of racketeering acts and conspiracy, which is conducted by police powers agencies and by DOJ prosecutors including US Attorneys. This corrupt enterprise has conducted decades of Fourth Amendment violations, such as:
a. illegal spying on and specific predatory targeting of particular Americans,
b. private enterprise wrecking and hijacking of targeted American businesses,
c. family marital relationship wrecking and assignment to sham, coerced, and contrived relationships,
d. illegal bioweapons development, testing and deployment using American children, adults, and military personnel as human guinea pigs in secret illegal human experiments without knowledge or consent
3. AN INCESTUOUS SELF-INTERESTED CABAL OF US GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES who are selectively moved among positions of power and are shielded from consequences by selective use of the justice system to protect their mentors, predecessors, and illegal programs by:
a. Individual DOJ prosecutors and FBI agents are selectively groomed and tested, then read into secret programs, and promoted in a pipeline of privilege. The sanctity and security of this secret pipeline are maintained for the benefit of the few. Prosecutors use national security laws and regulations selectively to maintain both legitimate and illegitimate program secrecy. These selective discretionary (arbitrary) practices operate to sustain fear among abused government employees who are not in the privileged pipeline.
b. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of federal judges come from careers in DOJ through Senate confirmation and can selectively use their official immunity and discretionary privilege to preclude cases from proceeding in federal courts using various legal subterfuges.
c. A similar pipeline of privilege persists in our military services for senior officers, which, together with the intelligence community largely drawn from those military services, operates to test, read in, and selectively promote specific individuals to higher rank, and into the intelligence services positions through this grooming, testing, promotion pipeline, which can leads to further executive branch appointments and into partisan political positions.
d. Many members of Congress move from this pipeline of privileged government employment into politics, then protect and fund these illegal programs and practices hidden in the massive mountain of programs conducted by our sprawling federal government. This preserves the self-interest of senior government officials, both while employed and in secure retirements, and serves the political fortunes of prosecutors turned politicians, over the interests and rights of the People they are there to serve.
PRACTICAL AUTHORIZATION FOR US GOVERNMENT TERRORISM AND TORTURE PROGRAMS COMES FROM CONGRESS
TERRORISM - 18 U.S. Code Chapter 113B Passed By Congress
Domestic terrorism orchestrated and conducted by US government departments, agencies, and employees under color of legal authority cannot be subject to civil remedy by US persons under this terrorism statute, which is reproduced below. Together with a documented direct DOJ conspiracy and DOJ’s refusal to prosecute these criminal cases, this gives practical license to government departments, agencies, and officials who practice targeted terrorization of people and groups without remedy.
TORTURE - 18 U.S. Code Chapter 113C Passed By Congress
Domestic torture orchestrated and conducted by US government departments, agencies, and employees under color of legal authority are not subject to civil remedy by US persons under this unconstitutional provision of the 1994 torture statute. As this US law (reproduced below) is currently written, it violates the Convention Against Torture, a treaty ratified by the US in 1992 which mandates that civil remedies must be available to citizens.
DOJ PERSISTENTLY IGNORES US GOVERNMENT CRIMINAL CONDUCT, WHILE EXISTING FEDERAL LAWS, AND JUDGES APPOINTED FROM WITHIN DOJ, PREVENT CITIZENS FROM LITIGATING THESE MATTERS IN OUR FEDERAL COURTS
The Department of Justice and its police powers agencies, which have been and are directly culpable in both this illegal bioweapon program and in the accompanying racketeering conspiracy, since at least the 1960s, maintain official silence and willfully refuse to prosecute these illegal acts and programs. These laws, and the illegal practices they empower, give practical license to the targeted terrorization and torture of individual people and groups without remedy.
Congress authorizes the funding which facilitates these US government terrorization and torture operations. Thousands of people in various department of the US government, some empowered to act, others watching helplessly without authority to override these corrupt and heinous practices against their fellow citizens, have direct knowledge of these policies and practices. The threat of national security prosecution for violating program secrecy laws keeps those many honest employees silent, while self-interested persecutors among senior officials execute these programs. This includes personnel in:
1. Executive Office of the President, comprised of thousands of people and functions, including the National Security Council and the White House Counsel’s Office, and run by the President who heads one of our two political parties.
2. Departments and Agencies, including Secretaries, Directors, and senior managers, including DOD, CIA, DOJ, DHS, FBI, and other police powers agencies and operations of the United States.
3.. Congress, among members of the House of Representatives and Senate, including:
a. Congressional leadership of both parties,
b. Committee Chairs (senior committee leader of the political party then in majority) and Ranking Members (senior member of the political party not then in the majority) of committees which oversee the military, intelligence, and justice operations of the US government, and appropriate funds to those departments and agencies, within the US and elsewhere.
c. Certain rank and file members of the House and Senate who do not serve on these specific committees lack the required clearances and must vote without direct program and practices knowledge to fund these illegal programs and practices, which also violate our ratified international treaty obligations to other countries, both allies and adversaries.
4. Federal judges who previously served in the Department of Justice, from which about 88% of federal judges are appointed. For example, the current Attorney General, formerly a longtime federal appellate court judge, and a now retired Supreme Court Associate Justice from Army Intelligence, are among the many federal judges who entered the federal judiciary, after they were directly involved with or had direct knowledge of, these illegal practices in DOJ, military services, DHS, and other federal departments which participate in the illegal bioweapon, racketeering, and rights conspiracies.
5. US government personnel with security clearances and direct knowledge of these illegal programs and practices, many of whom are not in this privileged pipeline, are explicitly prevented from speaking out publicly about illegal conduct due to:
- Criminal penalties for violating national security regulations, including for merely acknowledging the existence of certain programs such as the internationally prohibited bioweapon.
- Horrendous treatment of whistleblowers who criticize illegal practices inside these operations, which treatment parallels the treatment described on this website of this key bioweapon victim and others he knows, including aggressive targeting and attempts to criminalize whistleblower conduct.
- Abused government insiders, including officers, agents, military personnel, and others with security clearances, past and present, who must continue to suffer in silence, prevented from speaking out by the ever-present threat of national security criminal prosecution if they fail to perpetuate the cover-up which benefits certain current and former government officials. There are doubtless many of these silenced victims - former government employees who served faithfully and were exploited in their loyal service by abusive, and even psychopathic, senior government officials.
Since bioweapons victims are acting in self-defense, those of us who have never held security clearances are free to speak and write about this illegal program and this pattern of illegal practices, provided we do not engage in coordination or direct planning and acts against government outside the framework of US laws. Note that US conspiracy laws are notoriously vague and can be abused against victims for even very simple acts.
THE UGLY LEGAL DETAILS WHICH DERAIL JUSTICE FOR ORDINARY AMERICANS
US Statutes Protect Terror And Torture Practices
Excerpts from the United States Criminal Code Terrorism and Torture chapters indicate how these laws shield government officials from practical consequences for aggressively illegal programs and practices (underlining added) show how Congress protects itself and this privileged pipeline of government senior managers and their predecessors from justice.
TERRORISM - 18 U.S. Code Chapter 113B
18 U.S. Code § 2331 - Definitions
As used in this chapter— (5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States;
18 U.S. Code § 2333 - Civil Remedies
(a) Action and Jurisdiction.— Any national of the United States injured in his or her person, property, or business by reason of an act of international terrorism, or his or her estate, survivors, or heirs, may sue therefor in any appropriate district court of the United States and shall recover threefold the damages he or she sustains and the cost of the suit, including attorney’s fees.
18 U.S. Code § 2337 - Suits Against Government Officials
No action shall be maintained under section 2333 of this title against— (1) the United States, an agency of the United States, or an officer or employee of the United States or any agency thereof acting within his or her official capacity or under color of legal authority;
Plain Language Translation: Domestic terrorism perpetrated by government, which uses this persistent practice in its targeting of individuals, is protected from exposure through civil litigation under this statute when brought by US persons in our federal court system. DOJ does not prosecute these offenses and maintains its decades of official silence. Federal judges dismiss these cases routinely using legal subterfuges and protracted processes to protect illegal programs and conduct hidden behind a wall of privilege and secrecy well known inside government but fraudulently concealed from the public.
TORTURE - 18 U.S. Code Chapter 113C
18 U.S. Code § 2340 Definitions - As used in this chapter—
(1) “torture” means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;
(2) “severe mental pain or suffering” means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from—
(A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering;
(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality;
(C) the threat of imminent death; or
(D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; and
(3) “United States” means the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.
18 U.S. Code § 2340A - Torture
(a) Offense.— Whoever outside the United States commits or attempts to commit torture shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both, and if death results to any person from conduct prohibited by this subsection, shall be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life.
(b) Jurisdiction.—There is jurisdiction over the activity prohibited in subsection (a) if—
(1) the alleged offender is a national of the United States; or
(2) the alleged offender is present in the United States, irrespective of the nationality of the victim or alleged offender.
(c) Conspiracy.— A person who conspires to commit an offense under this section shall be subject to the same penalties (other than the penalty of death) as the penalties prescribed for the offense, the commission of which was the object of the conspiracy.
18 U.S. Code § 2340B - Exclusive Remedies
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as precluding the application of State or local laws on the same subject, nor shall anything in this chapter be construed as creating any substantive or procedural right enforceable by law by any party in any civil proceeding.
Plain Language Translation: Domestic torture, inside the United States, when perpetrated by government, which uses this persistent practice in its targeting of certain individuals with both the illegal bioweapon and extremely coercive field psychological operations, is protected from exposure through civil litigation under this statute when brought by US persons in our federal court system. DOJ does not prosecute these offenses and maintains its decades of official silence. Federal judges dismiss these cases using legal subterfuges and protracted processes to protect illegal programs and conduct hidden behind a wall of privilege and secrecy well known inside government but fraudulently concealed from the public.
But Note This Exception: Domestic US torture practices violate the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. These practices also violate the right of civil action guaranteed to US persons in the Convention Against Torture, which was ratified in 1988 by the United States. Current US law which precludes civil remedies for torture is unconstitutional.
1988 Convention Against Torture Treaty Article 14 Requires Civil Remedies For Torture
Convention Against Torture - Article 14
1. Each State Party shall ensure in its legal system that the victim of an act of torture obtains redress and has an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible. In the event of the death of the victim as a result of an act of torture, his dependants shall be entitled to compensation.
2. Nothing in this article shall affect any right of the victim or other persons to compensation which may exist under national law.
The US Senate ratified the Convention Against Torture treaty in 1988, then violated it in 1994 when it adopted 18 USC § 2340B (above) by unconstitutionally prohibiting civil remedies. The strenuous efforts of Congress, the Executive Branch, and the federal courts operating in self-interest to protect this and probably other illegal programs, and to conduct a transparently obvious fraudulent concealment from the general public and from voters, is clear and transparent from Dennis’ own direct experiences, and those of people he knows intimately, who cannot legally speak about these practices used against them. This cover-up includes:
1. Illegal practices demonstrated in the decades long pattern of practice targeting US persons against their “unalienable” rights, to and including illegal human experiments and lethality used against American children and teens,
2. The persistent pattern of official silence by DOJ, EOP, and members of Congress, and
3. Over a dozen federal court dismissals which lack proper legal foundation – SO FAR.
THE UGLY DETAILS OF INTERNATIONAL ABUSES BY US WHICH INCREASE RISKS OF RETALIATION, HARMING US INTERESTS AND NATIONAL SECURITY
These abusive practices used against American citizens by our own government are applied in other nations around the world - making Americans less safe due to the risks of retaliation. These risks are generally indirect and harder to see because of America’s militarization – but were apparent in the 9/11 retaliation attack for Mideast meddling in sovereignty and national resources. The deterioration and stress on America’s relations with friendly nations, and the continued militarization of our global competitors and adversaries, are also indications of response to our abuses of sovereignty, and to such actions as the illegal unilateral acts of war described on the 2018-20 Acts of War page.
These torturous, coercive, and threatening indirect psychological operations and illegal bioweapon program abuses have persisted into the present domestically and internationally in masked form using the illegal bioweapon against targeted Americans including Dennis, and at least historically against foreign nationals in the Mideast, PRC, and other unknown countries. This included leaders and citizens among Mideast nations, as described above, and PRC leadership as described on the 2018-20 US Acts of War page. The Senate Intelligence Committee's report from its 2014 investigation of CIA’s terror and torture programs reported the following findings about CIA conduct in this particular program:
Senate Intelligence Committee Report: “Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program,” declassified release December 2014:
1. The CIA’s use of its enhanced interrogation techniques was not an effective means of acquiring intelligence or gaining cooperation from detainees.
2. The CIA’s justification for the use of its enhanced interrogation techniques rested on inaccurate claims of their effectiveness.
3. The interrogations of CIA detainees were brutal and far worse than the CIA represented to policymakers and others.
4. The conditions of confinement for CIA detainees were harsher than the CIA had represented to policymakers and others.
5. The CIA repeatedly provided inaccurate information to the Department of Justice, impeding a proper legal analysis of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program.
6. The CIA has actively avoided or impeded congressional oversight of the program.
7. The CIA impeded effective White House oversight and decision-making.
8. The CIA’s operation and management of the program complicated, and in some cases impeded, the national security missions of other Executive Branch agencies.
9. The CIA impeded oversight by the CIA’s Office of Inspector General.
10. The CIA coordinated the release of classified information to the media, including inaccurate information concerning the effectiveness of the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques.
11. The CIA was unprepared as it began operating its Detention and Interrogation Program more than six months after being granted detention authorities.
12. The CIA’s management and operation of its Detention and Interrogation Program was deeply flawed throughout the program’s duration, particularly so in 2002 and early 2003.
13. Two contract psychologists devised the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques and played a central role in the operation, assessments, and management of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program. By 2005, the CIA had overwhelmingly outsourced operations related to the program.
14. CIA detainees were subjected to coercive interrogation techniques that had not been approved by the Department of Justice or had not been authorized by CIA Headquarters.
15. The CIA did not conduct a comprehensive or accurate accounting of the number of individuals it detained, and held individuals who did not meet the legal standard for detention. The CIA’s claims about the number of detainees held and subjected to its enhanced Interrogation techniques were inaccurate.
16. The CIA failed to adequately evaluate the effectiveness of its enhanced interrogation techniques.
17. The CIA rarely reprimanded or held personnel accountable for serious and significant violations, inappropriate activities, and systemic and individual management failures.
18. The CIA marginalized and ignored numerous internal critiques, criticisms, and objections concerning the operation and management of the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program.
19. The CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program was inherently unsustainable and had effectively ended by 2006 due to unauthorized press disclosures, reduced cooperation from other nations, and legal and oversight concerns.
20. The CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program damaged the United States’ standing in the world, and resulted in other significant monetary and non-monetary costs.
MUCH OF THIS WELL DOCUMENTED PATTERN OF INTERNATIONALLY BANNED PRACTICES STILL SECRETLY PERSISTS, AS IT HAS FOR MORE THAN FIVE DECADES, WELL BEFORE THE 9/11 INDIRECT RETALIATORY ATTACK. The US continues using the illegal bioweapon as a tool of surreptitious coercion. These operations damage the United States' relationships and reputation with countries around the world, and elevate the risks of retaliatory attacks on both America’s homeland and Americans operating internationally, particularly our military personnel.
