The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site'
UK GUARDIAN: Exclusive: Secret interrogation facility reveals creeping aspects of war on terror in US city as accounts describe shackling and brutality without basic rights
British press dropped a bombshell on the world.. Reporting by Spencer Ackerman of the UK GUARDIAN has created a firestorm of controversy around the globe, even though American news seemingly is ignoring the revelations printed in latest runs of the British paper..
Ackerman writes,
The Chicago police department operates an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site.
The facility, a nondescript warehouse on Chicago’s west side known as Homan Square, has long been the scene of secretive work by special police units. Interviews with local attorneys and one protester who spent the better part of a day shackled in Homan Square describe operations that deny access to basic constitutional rights.
Among the many points blasted in the story from the GUARDIAN, police do some interesting things.. these salient points are presented:
- Keeping arrestees out of official booking databases.
- Beating by police, resulting in head wounds.
- Shackling for prolonged periods.
- Denying attorneys access to the “secure” facility.
- Holding people without legal counsel for between 12 and 24 hours, including people as young as 15.
At least one man was found unresponsive in a Homan Square “interview room” and later pronounced dead.
One quote from the article was a bit chilling, with one protester telling the reporter, “It’s a domestic black site. When you go in, no one knows what’s happened to you”
The Chicago police department was forced into an awkward position on this matter.. they issued their defense in a statement to the GUARDIAN.. They said, in part:
"The allegations in this instance are not supported by facts. The vast majority of our officers serve the public with honor and integrity, and alleged actions of one individual decades ago are in no way indicative of the hard working men and women who put their lives on the line each day to protect residents."
Is this the night Chicago died? Or the night that constitutional did?

Keith Olbermann Suspended For Penn State Tweets
It all started with a quote ‘we are’ tweet. Olbermann responded ‘pitiful’.. The problem is the original post linked a story showing that Penn State raised 13 million dollars for cancer research. Regardless of the controversy, he did not back down ..

New poll on vaccinations: Forty-four percent of respondents said parents should be mandated to vaccinate their child, while 38% favored some parental choice. The survey also showed a generational difference in vaccination support with younger Americans more in favor of it.
The results come amid a measles outbreak in the U.S.

Get ready to have your history books shredded and your world rocked: Scientists now suspect gerbils were the real villains in the Black Death — not rats
A new study finds that great gerbils in Asia, not rats, helped spread Europe’s black death and kill millions.
This is a bit of a game changer when it comes to history.
I knew there was always something I really didn’t like about gerbils..

Google bans porn from Blogger
Google is banning public pornography on its Blogger site.
Google Blogger bans porn.. The world just remembered that people still use BLOGGER.. There are also some fears that GOOGLE will start to just disappear websites over ten years old–ten years ago was a heyday for GOOGLE BLOGGER users.. In response, the Internet Archive is going to attempt to begin trying to back them all up..
This is interesting for a number of reasons.. First off, one may ask why GOOGLE BLOGGER is suddenly worried about this issue? And secondarily, does anyone still even use GOOGLE blogger?
I am much more worried about fake sites, like gambling and over redirect Blogspots than I am REAL end users who post porn…
I ponder the same as others.. is this just an attempt to clean the servers of some old blogs that don’t get updated anymore?
As for me, I left Blogger about five years ago when they stopped allowing automatic FTP uploads of posts.

Gigantic human eating statues based on the popular ATTACK ON TITAN anime series are part of a new Japanese theme park.. Lots of other interesting things abound in the park, as well..
Four more enormous holes have been found in Siberia.. Newest scientific theory is that they are be being caused by gas underground and the fear is that craters are going to become more commonplace as temperatures globally rise.. Other less popular theories conclude that they are the gates of hell, ajar for the world to see.
I swear I just saw Horatio Sans pumping gas
Alter the likelihood of him being in Minersville Pennsylvania pumping gas is slim to none.
Horatio: you have a doppelganger in the coal region …

New study reveals the global impact of debris on marine life
It’s pretty disgusting if you think about it..
But if you think this is bad, just imagine a grave yard in Hollywood.
Just kiddin’.
New study reveals the global impact of debris on marine life
This is an image showing four separate scenes from the city of Chelyabinsk.. That was the site of the 2013 meteor explosion that rocked that part of Russia and was equal to several Hiroshima bombs..
RT profiles the city where now, as you can see, strange things are brewing..
The image of the three suns was an optical illusion.
But the blue snow wasn’t.. As a matter of fact, the storm giving people the strange colored precipitation made world headlines but no one came by to explain why exactly the weather was as colorful as it was..
There is little we understand about anything.
But three suns and blue snow is probably at the bottom of our human comprehension…
It is highly unlikely that there will actually be a reality TV show on Mars
Good article..
Depressing if you were one of the hopeful people who wanted to be on Mars by 2025.. Even sadder for the rest of us who need, for the sake of humanity and existence, to explore the universe..
