  • We speak with Mansoor Adayfi, a former Guantánamo Bay detainee who was held at the military prison for 14 years without charge, an ordeal he details in his new memoir, “Don’t Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantánamo.” Adayfi was 18 when he left his home in Yemen to do research in Afghanistan, where he was kidnapped by Afghan warlords, then sold to the CIA after the 9/11 attacks. Adayfi describes being brutally tortured in Afghanistan before he was transported to Guantánamo in 2002, where he became known as Detainee #441 and survived years of abuse. Adayfi was released against his will to Serbia in 2016 and now works as the Guantánamo Project coordinator at CAGE, an organization that advocates on behalf of victims of the war on terror. “The purpose of Guantánamo wasn’t about making Americans safe,” says Adayfi, who describes the facility as a “black hole” with no legal protections. “​​The system was designed to strip us of who we are. Even our names were taken.”

      It wasn’t Hitler that killed the Jews, it was people ‘just doing their job’. Throughout history those in ‘authority’ have committed untold crimes against the people for a pay-check. Most (if not all) crimes eventually come to be understood as superstition or brain disorders. One minute they’re chemically castrating Alan Turing, the next they are waving rainbow flags in the street. Blindly following political agendas to lock people up and torture them physically and mentally for whatever this weeks biggest fear tactic is.

Many Detainees have been interviewed and have said the exact same thing. There are photographs and many evidences to prove what he's saying and the fact that he was kept their without any charge and has been released is proof he was innocent. The bounty flyer story is absolutely right, it happened in Pakistan too and many ex detainees have told harrowing stories about their experiences which are exactly the same.
