Today, we stand upon the crushed shoulders of all who have gone and suffered before us. All societies are case studies in torture. Western society is the product of the conflict of emerging ideas that challenged an existing status quo leading to different historical eras of reactive reasoning. Despite being attached to the historical past, most are unaware of the relationship between church and state and their inquisitions that are the foundations of modern society; institutions of control that target and punish behaviors intended to change attitudes. Yet rational changes in reasoning are reactions to oppressive power and religious psychosis; and today there are reactions against the new inquisition of state of who and what are terrorists. Despite claims to the contrary, America is a tortured society of engineered morality – the social psychology of neo Puritanism as the basis of the business of war making. If one reads the accounts of the justifications for torture by the Catholic and Protestant inquisitions, they will see the obvious connection to the identical rationales used by government: e.g. that US Army manuals on field interrogations and their rationales and techniques – are the same.
