Youth service training camp teaches torture!

This story is a plea for awareness and action on behalf of the people of Zimbabwe in conjunction with Amnesty International I urge all readers to pass this on as these people are suffering. Surely some one or some group can help them.

A young man who is a former Central Intelligence Agent in Zimbabwe fled his country after being taught to torture and kill his own countrymen.. He claims that he was recruited at a National Youth Service Training Camp.While at camp. he was approached by a group of men who drove a black Mercedes Benz. All the young man knew of his Country’s secret service at that time was that they protected the sovereignty of Zimbabwe, yet he feared them.

The young man needed money and accepted their offer. As part of his training; he was told along with several others that he would be learning torture techniques. In a room with no windows, the trainees were all given a cup of gin and made to smoke marijuana. A man was thrown into the room and the trainees were told to beat him and that it was a random beating. The trainees beat the man and kicked him until he was bleeding and stopped.

The training agents asked why they stopped and they were made to continue. The trainees were then given a drug in pill form that induced rage and a second man was thrown into the room. They put him on a desk and beat his feet until they turned black.The man who could no longer walk collapsed.

A third man was sent in and they poured water on him and took turns shocking him until he fell on his face smelling like burned meat. They mutilated the next man with a screwdriver and pliers, the description is so graphic I could not print it here but it is printed on the
BBC

The trainees were later made to take a locked trunk to a lake. at the lake they found the keys to the trunk with a bag of cement and instructions. When they opened the trunk they found a man still alive, beaten bleeding and tongue cut out. they were told to put the cement into the trunk and drown the man in the trunk. The young man who told this story did not want to do this but they were being watched by camouflaged soldiers.

Somehow after this event the young man who tells this story managed to escape,he cries himself to sleep every night as his conscience and memories haunt him.

This is one of the many accounts of the violence in post election Zimbabwe. There are news reports of 84yr. old grandmas being axed in the head, people burned repeatedly with flaming plastic, people murdered in front of their families and villages burned.

Awareness is the first step to action my prayer is that help will come for these people.

Vaccine injury case wins & offers clues to autism mystery

My son sent me a link to a most interesting article from The Scientific American. It is an amazing story of triumph for the Poling family. They won the case for their daughter Hannah in a federal vaccine court. I for one had no idea that there was one! “Mitochondrial disorder, a little known condition, effecting the parts of cells that convert sugar to energy, can be triggered by the MMR Vaccine. This is the finding of the case. Parents have been screaming that this vaccine was potentially harmful for over 10 years, but these parents happen to be a practicing neurologist, and an attorney who is also a nurse.

The rest of us have been brushed off by the scientific/medical community at large even though the numbers of similar complaints are staggering. It is if those do not happen to have a science degree are too dumb to see what they are looking at and figure it out. Does the Scientific community think that we should believe everything that they say no matter what is in front of our faces? Just look at this headline and I did not make this up!!!

Scientists Know Better Than You–Even When They’re Wrong

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When they are wrong and won’t admit it while your family is being effected why should you not seek answers? It is insanity to see that something does not work or causes harm or even has the potential to cause harm and and take the stance of…. If the experts say it, I might as well go along, after all, I am just one everyday person how could I be right? I hear stuff like this every day.

I applaud the Polings they are champions for many of us. For more information on this case click here

The findings here are amazing. In my earlier post Vitamins and Autism, there is a list of supplements that I have found to be so helpful with autism and these findings from Scientific American tell me why. If you check this post, you may find this list to be helpful.
