american frustration

From the archive (2002): the raw anger of the Guantanamo moment — kept as a record, alongside the lesson that patient institutional work outperformed it.

Why this matters now (2026): Written in 2002 as detainees were transported to Guantanamo, this piece recorded the raw anger of that moment. The anger was real and is part of the record. What two decades have added: anger without institutions changed little, while the patient legal work of due-process advocates changed some things. That asymmetry is the lesson. See About the QeRN Archive and Building Institutions That Last.

So the thorns in american eyes are plucked, shaved (perhaps in the same spirit as Hitler’s officers cleaned jews before facing the Furness), chained, transported from Afghanistan and caged in an island surrounded by sharks. These events, proudly reported by the jewish-financed media, remind fair-minded people of Roman arenas, Spanish inquisition, slave trade, cannibalism, capturing and killing of the american Indians.

What does all this show?

• america’s frustration
• poor american leadership, incapable to contextualise the 11
Sept scenario and catch the real culprits and desperately
trying to boost the ever low American morale
• morally bankrupt america that has miserable understanding of
common values and humanity
• might is right
• hypocrisy of the terms like civilisation, human rights,
amnesty
• america’s ignorance that their terrorism would deter jihad
(struggle), the prime function of Islam
