Video available at https://truthaboutporn.org/media/ "Pornography is a recipe for rape...The most interesting study I read most recently is one that did brain scans of men while they were watching pornography. They scanned their brains and they wanted to see what areas of the brain light up when men look at porn. It's the part of the brain that deals with objects, not people. The more we dehumanise someone the more possible it is to commit violence against them - and that's what porn does.... We have over 50 studies showing a direct link between pornography and sexual violence. This generation is being taught that sex and violence go together. I do have hope though that we can unteach that it's just that we have a lot of work to do."
John D. Foubert, Ph.D. Professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs, Oklahoma State University National President, One in Four Author, How Pornography Harms
Porn is disguised by the PIMP EMPIRE as being normal sexual behaviour when in reality, the porn industry is perfectly described in Amnesty International's definition of torture (Amnesty International, 1973: p 30, 31).
Porn is a Weapon Used to Disempower its Victims Through a Process of Humilation, the Destruction of Dignity and Torture
WARNING disturbing content
War personel know this fact well. Prisoners of war are deprived of their clothing in order to process their disempowerment and dehuminisation.
The following is an example of how sexual abuse is used in war as a form of torture, but we are supposed to accept the propaganda spewed out from the PIMP EMPIRE and porn merchants, that porn is not a real 'War on Women' (primarily) but 'normal, sexual behaviour.'
Compare the acts performed on the Iraqi prisoners held at Abu Ghraid jail by USA CIA/soldiers with the same acts performed on those actors who 'star' in porn.
Instilling fear by threats to harm, use of hoods and restraints;
Electrocution;
Forced masturbation in public;
many other similarities
taking of photos of victims being raped
taking photos of the sexual abuse of children
taking photos of raping children in front of adults
"These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency." (Antonio Taguba, a major general in the U.S. Army,, 2004, below)
"acts of prisoner abuse were not isolated acts, but were part of a "pattern and a broad system.... some of the incidents,,, observed were "tantamount to torture" (Pierre Krähenbühl, Operations Director for the International Committee of the Red Cross {ICRC} 7 May, 2004),
Extracts from the Report Prisoner rape In 2004, Antonio Taguba, a major general in the U.S. Army, wrote in the Taguba Report that a detainee had been sodomized with "a chemical light and perhaps a broomstick."[48] In 2009, Taguba stated that there was photographic evidence of rape having occurred at Abu Ghraib.[49] An Abu Ghraib detainee told investigators that he heard an Iraqi teenage boy screaming, and saw an Army translator raping him, while a female soldier took pictures.[50] A witness identified the alleged rapist as an American-Egyptian who worked as a translator. In 2009, he was the subject of a civil court case in the United States.[49] Another photo shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner.[49] Other photos show interrogators sexually assaulting prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube, and a female prisoner having her clothing forcibly removed to expose her breasts.[49] Taguba supported United States President Barack Obama's decision not to release the photos, stating, "These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency."[49] Obama, who had initially agreed to release the photographs, changed his mind after lobbying from senior military figures; Obama stated that their release could put troops in danger and "inflame anti-American public opinion".[49]
In other instances of sexual abuse, soldiers were found to have raped female inmates. Senior U.S. officials admitted that rape had taken place at Abu Ghraib.[51][52] Some of the women who had been raped became pregnant, and in some cases, were later killed by their family members in what were thought to be instances of honor killing.[53] In addition, according to Seymour Hersh, video exists which shows that children were raped by prison staff in front of watching women.[54]
Other abuses
Specialist Charles A. Graner punching handcuffed Iraqi prisoners In May 2004, The Washington Post reported evidence given by Ameen Saeed Al-Sheik, detainee No. 151362. It quoted him as saying; "They said we will make you wish to die and it will not happen [...] They stripped me naked. One of them told me he would rape me. He drew a picture of a woman to my back and made me stand in shameful position holding my buttocks."[55] "'Do you pray to Allah?' one asked. I said yes. They said, '[Expletive] you. And [expletive] him.' One of them said, 'You are not getting out of here health[y], you are getting out of here handicapped. And he said to me, 'Are you married?' I said, 'Yes.' They said, 'If your wife saw you like this, she will be disappointed.' One of them said, 'But if I saw her now she would not be disappointed now because I would rape her.' " [...] "They ordered me to thank Jesus that I'm alive." [...] "I said to him, 'I believe in Allah.' So he said, 'But I believe in torture and I will torture you.'"[55]
On January 12, 2005, The New York Times reported on further testimony from Abu Ghraib detainees. The abuses reported included urinating on detainees, pounding wounded limbs with metal batons, pouring phosphoric acid on detainees, and tying ropes to the detainees' legs or penises and dragging them across the floor.[56]
In her video diary, a prison guard said that prisoners were shot for minor misbehavior, and claimed to have had venomous snakes used to bite prisoners, sometimes resulting in their deaths. The guard said that she was "in trouble" for having thrown rocks at the detainees.[57] Hashem Muhsen, one of the naked prisoners in the human pyramid photo, later said the men were also forced to crawl around the floor naked while soldiers rode them like donkeys.[58]
Systematic torture
On May 7, 2004, Pierre Krähenbühl, Operations Director for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), stated that inspection visits made by the ICRC to detention centers run by the U.S. and its allies showed that acts of prisoner abuse were not isolated acts, but were part of a "pattern and a broad system." He went on to say that some of the incidents they had observed were "tantamount to torture".[59]
Many of the torture techniques used were developed at Guantánamo detention center, including prolonged isolation; the frequent flyer program, a sleep deprivation program whereby people were moved from cell to cell every few hours so they could not sleep for days, weeks, or even months; short shackling in painful positions; nudity; extreme use of heat and cold; the use of loud music and noise; and preying on phobias.[60][unreliable source?]
The soldiers at Abu Ghraid were military terrorists. The PIMP EMPIRE and porn merchants are civil terrorists. Both used similar techniques and produced similar outcomes.
When we realise that porn is 'torture,' the violence becomes visible; sexual abuse becomes unacceptable; and destroying a person's dignity becomes abnormal, unnatural, sexually repugnant and abhorrent.
