TORTURE - 100% GUARANTEED TO WORK

By Nancy Greggs

While I totally abhor the use of torture in any form, the following
are the only tried-and-true methods COMPLETELY PROVEN to be effective
in securing the total cooperation of suspected enemies:


CONFUSION:

Make a statement, publicly and often, that Saddam Hussein was
responsible for 9-11.

Repeat it over, and over, and over, until the victim is convinced you
are telling the truth.

THEN totally switch positions, and INSIST that you never made any such
connection between the two.


RELIGIOUS DEGRADATION:

Lull victim into false sense of security by promising to amend the
Constitution to prohibit gay marriage and abortion.

Then completely destroy the victimâs new-found faith in you by never
making good on those promises.


BAIT În SWITCH:

Assure the victim that you have their best interests at heart.

Assure them you will lower their taxes, thereby providing them with
more comfort and pleasurable amenities.

Once enthralled by such offerings, steal from victimâs own purse and
give his last penny to the wealthy in front of his own eyes.


DISORIENT:

Tell victim you will keep them safe from all harm, from all external
foes who seek their destruction.

Then blatantly divert the funds necessary to accomplish same into
useless endeavors like a "War on Terror" or similarly useless
undertakings.


SENSORY DEPRIVATION:

Lead victim to believe you are Îlevelingâ with them at all times, and
are presenting the true facts without addition or omission.

Then control the MSM and feed them propaganda, 24/7, until they can no
longer distinguish the truth from complete fabrication.


EXTREME TEMPERATURE MANIPULATION:

Watch victim sweat in record-breaking heatwaves, then decry such
things as Îglobal warmingâ as completely baseless left-wing hysteria.


SLEEP DEPRIVATION:

Outsource victimâs job, cut off their health coverage, threaten to
repossess their house, rendering even a single good nightâs sleep
totally impossible.


STRESSFUL POSITIONS:

Threaten victim with their own imminent death by way of terrorist
attack, dirty bomb, or Îmushroom cloudâ unless they agree to support
your political agenda.


WATER-BOARDING:

Force victim to reside in New Orleans or other region likely to be hit
by natural disaster, and remind them how quickly you will respond
should they need rescue from drowning.


ELECTRIC SHOCK TREATMENT:

Allow ***** Cheney to hold Îsecret meetingsâ behind the victimâs back
in order to set energy policies and prices.


HUMILIATION:

Continually cast aspersions on victimâs Îpatriotismâ if they refuse to
accept your political views without question. Publicly denounce their
Îweaknessâ if they refuse to accept things you consider expedient --
like torture.


These are the only torture techniques known to be completely effective
in causing a victim to totally relinquish their own will and acquiesce
to the will of others.

They are known to be successful in that regard, because they have
worked on Republican voters for at least the last six years.
