My sport was cycling.
In my cycling days my fastest time for a 10-mile time trial was 25mins 17 secs.
And the furthest I rode in one day was 145 miles.
The longest cycle-camping trip I did was 800 miles spread over 8 days

Me in my glory days-

 

That is good time!!

Love the 70's mustache!!

LOL!!

Thanks mate, but years later it started to get grey hairs in it which made it look like a bar code stuck under my nose so I shaved it off.
I've still got the hair though, but it's all grey!
And most of the teeth are long gone.

 

That is strong...

 

Does torture get useful information? Not from your personal experience necessarily but just in your considered opinion, and from having talked to others like yourself

 

"Ask AboveAlpha anything you want." - Ok, Alpha, why are you so awesome?

 

LOL!!!

Well you can always dye the hair but the TEETH!!

Well you can get implants I guess?

I am a firm believer in using my TOOTHBRUSH!! LOL!!

I floss too! lol!

OK.....unfortunately I do know a great deal about this.

This is the thing.....after a point physical pain does NOT work as a means of interrogation and the reason is that any intel. garnished from a person being physically tortured via the application of intense pain is intel that is SUSPECT!!!!

Fact is a person will do or say ANYTHING to get the pain to stop!!!

Now I know there are a few armchair operatives out there who have watched one Tom Clancy movie too many who will either think.....as by rule there are two line of thoughts from those people who constantly toot their own horns about their Military Service or service of any kind when the REALITY is the closest these mother F@#KERS have ever been to a firefight is sitting in their seat at the movies!!!......anyways....line of thought number....

#1. The arm chair operative might decree....."WE SHOULD START CUTTING OFF THEIR BODY PARTS ONE BY ONE UNTIL THOSE HEATHEN TERRORIST SCUMBAGS TALK!!"

#2. The arm chair operative might decree....."IF I WAS CAPTURED AND INTERROGATED I WOULD NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING AT ALL BECAUSE I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN GIVE THEM ANY INTEL!!!"

That is basically what those people who are......... COMPLETELY CLUELESS........... as far as what.......................... ENHANCED INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES.......can or cannot get us from the target subject.

I am a man who has both been trained and trained others in PSYOP'S.....Psychological Operations and as such a man I have endured every single form of enhanced interrogation techniques that the U.S. Military and U.S. Agencies have used SAVE ONE.....and I will explain about that ONE later.

Fact is TORTURE is not necessary as there are many other and better ways to get needed intel from a target subject and just a few off the top of my head are.....MONEY....HELPING GET A SUBJECTS FAMILY MEMBER TO THE U.S. OR OTHER SAFE HAVEN.....ARMS.....FAVORS...etc.

Now I have had to endure everything from being waterboarded to being given psychotropic drugs and truth agents as the people who actually carry out Enhanced Interrogation upon a target subject MUST FIRST understand what a person going through something like that is feeling and thinking.

I really could talk about just this subject all day as there is so much to discuss but the reality is that you NEVER want to exact PHYSICAL PAIN on the target subject as that is a LAST RESORT!!!

And when you get to that point and I KNOW there are some people who think that waterboarding is torture and all I can say is that WATERBOARDING IS A VERY SAFE AND NON-LETHAL ENHANCED INTERROGATION TECHNIQUE WHICH WHEN USED HAS RESULTED IN GETTING US VERY VALUABLE INTEL. THAT WE HAVE USED TO SAVE THE LIVES OF COUNTLESS HUMAN BEINGS!!!

Waterboarding is something I have endured 10 times worse than even the most crazy GITMO scumbags and it involves the target subject either being strapped down to a TILT TABLE or even just a plain old board and having being tilted with their head down and their legs up at about a 2 pm to 8 am angle.....and then a WET RAG OR TOWEL and we use something that when wet is relatively HEAVY and is not easy to breath through when wet and this is placed over the Target Subjects face....eyes....mouth and nose......and then as another Interrogator uses a stop watch or just looks at a clock with a seconds hand water is then poured usually out of a hose but you can use anything from a watering can or bucket if is is large enough and continue to pour that water over the target subjects rag covered face.

What this does is simulate DROWNING and I personally have been waterboarded more times than I care to remember and the thing is IF YOU DO NOT PANIC YOU CAN BREATH A BIT!!!!

Waterboarding works because the target subject begins to go into a state of terror and then the combination of the eyes being covered and the water making it near impossible to breath and then usually a Target Subject will begin to struggle and that is the WORSE THING THEY COULD DO!!!

You see the more you struggle and move the more your body and muscles burn Oxygen thus if you remain as still and calm as possible and if this was being done to me by an ENEMY what I would do is remain calm BUT I would protest by making small controlled movements after only 5 seconds of being waterboarded as you want them to think you are out of air as soon as possible because you don't want them holding that hose on you for more than 1 minute or so!!!

So you fake it and fool them into thinking you are out of air much sooner than you are...PLUS....if you remain calm and controlled YOU CAN BREATH THOUGH THE RAG!!!

When the wet rag is placed on your face we have been trained to push out with our facial muscles as the rag is put over us and then as the rag seats we contract our facial muscles and this creates a small pocket of air.

SEE!!

I told you I could talk about this all day!! LOL!!

Anyways....you might have to ask me more specific individual target question if you want to know more but the reality is......

Torture may or may not work as in order for it to work it depends upon how well trained the person doing it is as well the type of torture such as smashing a persons fingers one by one with a hammer...etc...that type....well a person will say ANYTHING to make it stop so you really don't know if what they are telling you is good intel or not!!

BUT......things like waterboarding and stress positions.....they work.....things like extreme humiliation...etc...they work.

What do you think was going on in that Iraqi prison with the pics of naked prisoners and a female U.S. Soldier?

HUMILIATION.

It works.

Well....if anyone wants to know more just ask OK?

LOL!!

I agree completely with AboveAlpha's assessment of the USA plus Canada as being like one
entity....... .as viewed from Russia and China..... our two most logical rivals for world domination.

Like AA..... I even have something of a USA / Canada bias....... I admit it........
but it is my belief that the political leaders in the USA and Canada who have given too much
power and responsibility to companies like Monsanto....... have made a serious error........

that will cost us a lot.... .sooner or later........ sooner would be much better than later!

Russia Says No to GMO Seeds
I hate to admit it.......

but on the issue of GMO seeds........ Russia is far ahead of us and they deserve credit for this stance!

Frankly....... I term myself "pro-life"..... .but if all that is meant by pro-life is to be against
third term abortions........
and if I support GMO technology by my silence........

then am I a hypocrite to call myself "pro-life?"
