music to be interrogated by

[Firestorm]

Indian Love Call would make their heads explode and Slim Whitman has passed so he can't complain.

Manuel Noriega was the recipient of that treatment with I Fought The Law by the Clash repeated over and over at deafening levels.

They gave ol' pineapple-head a break every now and then, and blasted Madonna music instead. Ya know, in case Manny and his buddies wanted to disco out the door.

I'm told the military have a sonic-warfare device that opens the sluices at both ends.

French police have had this one for a while now. A truck about as big as an oil tank truck, big cylinder on the back. Like a low frequency siren, it uses an air compressor and a prop-like "wind chopper" to mechanically create the 6-7 Hz wave. I hear it works pretty well. But what the driver & operator have to go thru to work, well it "depends."

US development of another subsonic weapons device had as a consultant, a very well-known electronic designer (now deceased.) I'm not at liberty to say 'zackly who but fill in the blank: ____ synthesizer. Who knew?

About fifteen years ago, at my uncle's funeral, his wife had prepared a cassette of background music for the graveside service. It consisted of badly recorded, badly performed country songs, dealing with bereavement, loss, loneliness - I'm sure you get the theme.

At the conclusion of the service, she was attempting to eject the cassette from her portable player, when it suddenly sprung out, and flew straight into the open grave. Nobody was prepared to climb in and retrieve it, so the grave was filled, with the cassette sitting on top of the coffin.

Our family has always been saddened by the thought that poor old Uncle Gordon has only that cassette to listen to for all of eternity.

Although I do listetn to classical music and opera, a collection of Wagner operas at full blast should do the trick...

Any good death metal should do it - here's one by Solamors, whose guitarist, Alex, just happens to be an awesome amp builder!

Unless the prisoner is a metalhead - then I'd play old country and western

That is a great story.
When a childhood neighbor of mine passed away we went to the funeral that was held at a local Methodist church.

It was strange because they did this liturgy thing where the congregation was supposed to reply.
Now I grew up across the street from this woman, but the pastor insisted that every time he said something about Ruth that we should respond with, "And she loved the Fall foliage."

It was weird and I was no stranger to religious ceremonies.
Many times at Catholic funerals there was some strange goings on.

Anyway, "And she loved the Fall foliage."

I am not much for bullshit. At my great uncle Clint's funeral the preacher said a bunch of garbage that took 4 minutes and ended with ".. and he was known by the whole community as "Uncle Clint".

I stood up and said, "No. That's 'Cussing Clint' and we all know he'd have walked out of here five minutes ago if he could get up.".

Clint worked for the railroad for 65 freaking years. He spent his last 20 working like no other man I ever knew. 100 years old and fell dead off a tractor in his field... and cussing like nothing in this World. They used to fight each other for paychecks. When he was days from turning 90 he stopped at a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere and two 30-somethings got snazzy with him. He knocked them both the Hell out and took their wallets. rofl

My grandmother used to wait until he left and sit me down to explain why we don't talk that way. She said he was afflicted.

He was a bad ass individual. That is what Clint was. A hard son of a bitch. He sure loved us and he lived every minute.

Your uncle reminds me of the movie "Secondhand Lions" (Robert Duvall, Micheal Caine). What a character.

[Reeltarded]

He looked like a 200 year old Robert Duvall. Odd you say that.

Having been subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques" of a non-musical sort on US soil... I would've preferred Skinny Puppy.

One vote from an interrogee (is that a word) for the Pups. I'll pass it along to CBC. Sorry you had to go thru anything like that.

I'm sorry too. Been there, done that. Detained for three hours of interrogation, along with the bass player of the group, at a border crossing on our way to a gig. After three hours they said I could go, but not my band-mate. Never made it to that gig. Turns out the festival was a nightmare of epic proportions; and the promoter fled the scene without paying the bands.

Nick, I imagine you were allowed to keep your clothing, not physically assaulted, kept in a room at a sane temperature, not kept awake for 70 hours straight, nor deprived of medical attention or sanitary accouterments/access to a bathroom of sorts.

Oh, what I was subjected to the UN considers torture, it's only "enhanced interrogation" in the US. Perps were State Police and prison personnel, not feds. (This is what happens when "the boys" come back home after being overseas in the service and join up in local law enforcement). This was how they handled a clear-cut self defense case to try to get a confession contrary to what actually occurred. Two years through the courts, I've finally been cleared.

Best part is--nobody in the state gives a damn this is what civilians are subjected to. "Oh, that's terrible... too bad." What's that? A cop destroyed exculpatory evidence? Destroyed all video of said "interrogation"? Admitted on the stand to fabricating inculpatory evidence? Yup, "too bad"--

NO RECOURSE.

Welcome to sovereign immunity of the state folks... It's great to joke about this shit until you actually go through it and find out not a single fuck about your rights is given.

No, you're right. I've never been through anything like that. Actually, the foreign customs agents I had were tough (no nonsense) but civil.

The experience "they" put you through pisses me off. But you're right, there is no recourse when the state violates its' citizens like that. It happens in many ways. Campion and Ramos. Ruby Ridge.

I'm sorry you were persecuted and abused that way. But I'm glad you're still alive. Not everyone survives when the state plays dirty.
