Geminid Time

Ask Yourself

"What I should like to find is a crime the effects of which would be perpetual, even when I myself do not act, so that there would not be a single moment of my life even when I were asleep, when I was not the cause of some chaos, a chaos of such proportions that it would provoke a general corruption or a distubance so formal that even after my death its effects would still be felt.”

Enhanced Critique

 Do know what’s going to happen next?

The shock is going to wear off and you’re going to start feeling guilty.

I know what I’m talking about. It will be a truly terrible guilt. It will devastate you.

You’ll be carefully watched, for you may attempt suicide, that’s how badly you’ll feel.

Eventually, with my help, you’ll come to terms with what you’ve done.

And when that happens I hope you won’t hate yourself.

You’ll just be terribly, terribly sad, and you won’t lose that sadness for the rest of your life.

 his clothes were cut off, a suppository was forcibly inserted into his rectum, his head was taped leaving holes only for his mouth and nose

His cell had no lights or windows, and the temperature alternated between freezing and baking. He was kept blindfolded and handcuffed for seven months. Interrogations could come at any time of the day or night. He was beaten with fists, electric cables, and chairs, stripped naked, and given electric shocks.

Spreading his arms in a crucifixion position, he demonstrates how he was tied to a metal door as shocks were administered to his nipples and genitals.
