In Nazi Germany and later in Soviet Russia, Doctors and psychologists were enlisted by the state to enhance the the torture process, bringing the art of inflicting pain and suffering to new heights. Apparently the United States has studied these totalitarian systems and has found in them something they can agree with. Does anyone really believe that the United State really stands for democracy or freedom?
In Russia you just appoint a party hack to run things. Apparently the Republican party has studied this totalitarian system and liked what they found. I hate to inform them but as the broadcast media is politicized people will turn it off and get their news from online sources. I wonder how long it will be before they learn from China, another totalitarian system, how to control online media.
