Police Torture a Political Prisoner

On 18 November 2008 a copy of a BNP members list was published on the internet and thus began a train of events that is destined to be one of history's turning points. It revealed to a trusting public what the authorities are really like. These decent people who are supposed to be looking after our interests now stand exposed as totalitarians who will do anything however oppressive and tyrannical to silence dissent.

Innocent members of the public will be surprised at how oppressed the British people are unless they remain quiescent and only do permitted activities like watch telly, support sports teams and go to bars.
If they dare speak out or campaign against certain injustices they will be persecuted and even brutalised.

There are many in this country who sincerely believe in freedom and democracy and while they thought they occupied the moral high ground condemning racism by whites a totalitarian, undemocratic structure was being created to oppress whites. (1) Did they ever think that in the home of Democracy and the Mother of Parliaments - Rule of Law and representative Democracy, the police would torture a political prisoner?

There was even incitement to violence from the established media.
On 20/11/2008 Mirror columnist Brian Reade wrote in mock-worried tones: "Let's hope black radical groups don't get hold of those BNP members." Reade ironically pretended: "I'm worried about the 12,000 BNP members whose names and addresses have been leaked on the internet. I pray their details don't fall into the hands of any of those black radical groups known to take a very dim view of white neo-Nazis. It would be truly awful if anything nasty happened to these nice people wouldn't it?"

His wish was partially realised as pensioners across the country had their property vandalised and received threatening phone calls after they were targeted as BNP members.

In Cheltenham widow Natalia Colthurst received six threatening calls, in which she was asked her name and why she supports the BNP. The caller warned "we know where you live". The 72-year-old, who lives in Whaddon Road, was advised by bereavement councillors to join social groups when her husband died in 2006. The former language teacher said after two BNP meetings early last year, she and her elderly friend realised it wasn't for them and broke with the party.

The house of George and June Papps on Lysons Avenue, Gloucester, was vandalised, with graffiti saying BNP Scum scrawled on a wall. The couple, aged 79 and 77, are both recovering from cancer and said they were singled-out because their son, who has moved away, is a member. (2)

Another eye-opener for trusting members of the public is British bobbies torturing a political prisoner. Merseyside police tortured one of 13 BNP activists they arrested to take his fingerprints and DNA to add him to national Database. The media have not covered this but from personal interviews I learned what happened.

The victim related: "They then somehow applied a tremendous pressure behind my ears, inflicting great pain. They then pulled my head back so far that my windpipe was restricted, and while I was gasping for air, applied pressure to the front of my neck as well," he said. Nearly collapsing from the pain and lack of oxygen, he was then unable to prevent the policemen from taking his fingerprints. This caused a deep gash in his forehead.

Next they grabbed hold of my nose, and once again somehow applied the most penetrating pressure to the back of my neck, forcing my mouth open to take a DNA swab," he continued. The episode lasted at least a quarter of an hour, and the victim was left shaken and in pain. Photographs taken shortly afterwards clearly showed bleeding from wounds sustained behind both his ears. They applied some kind of pressure to his arms and his side, once again leaving considerable bruising, evidenced again by photographs taken shortly after his release.

This similar to how the Americans torture political prisoners at Guantanamo Bay (3):
"The military police inflicted so much pain, Mr Aamer said he thought he was going to die. The MPs pressed on pressure points all over his body: his temples, just under his jawline, in the hollow beneath his ears. They choked him. They bent his nose so hard he thought it would break."

Here is a technical analysis of what they did to the political prisoner in Liverpool: they were applying pressure to the transverse processes of the first cervical vertebra. It's taught as a pressure point in both Karate and Ju-jitsu, either to strike at, or press, to break a grip or grapple.

You may cause the atlanto-occipital joint to cavitate by doing this which is like cracking the knuckles, except that this done at the base of the skull and it will probably frighten anyone who doesn't understand what is going on. They might think their neck has been broken!

"They then pulled my head back so far that my windpipe was restricted, and while I was gasping for air, applied pressure to the front of my neck as well," he said. Nearly collapsing from the pain and lack of oxygen. He was then unable to prevent the policemen from taking his fingerprints.

Pulling the head back forcefully can and will break the neck. You will either die very quickly or become parplegic and confined to a wheelchair for life or tetraplegic like Christopher Reeve, depending on the location of the fracture and how far any bone fragments from the vertical lamina enter the spinal cord itself. Attacking the trachea in the manner described can also be fatal, but a fatality is more likely to occur from a violent blow rather than pressure. It's not so much the collapse of the trachea but disruption to the baro receptors located at the bifurcation of the carotid artery. These control blood pressure to the brain, and if sufficiently traumatised can shut off blood supply to the brain permanently.

"Next they grabbed hold of my nose, and once again somehow applied the most penetrating pressure to the back of my neck, forcing my mouth open to take a DNA swab," Again, very dangerous, but depends exactly on where the pressure is applied, but a broken neck or avulsion of the dens could occur. The dens is a little bit of bone about the size of the last phalange of your little finger that acts as a pivot for the heads rotation. It is sometimes avulsed or pulled off in whiplash victims. It sits just posterior to the brain stem, in the area where breathing is regulated, so you don't want a broken dens shoved through that particular area!"
