Documentary: Crazy Rulers of the World
Imagine my surprise when I see a post on Boingboing that includes a picture of the unit where I used to work in the Army! The post was about a documentary on paranormal experiments conducted within the military to do weird things. Why the hell would my old unit be related to this? The most paranormal thing I ever saw in that place was my first sergeant’s explosive bowel movements. I watched the show. It was the same old story where the loudspeakers got used to blast music at some guys in Iraq in an attempt to pry information out of them. Psyops only real involvement was equipment rental.
They show a clip in the second episode where Lynndie England says that she was ordered to pose for pictures by psyops personnel. That might be true, but they certainly weren’t loudspeaker operators from my old unit.
The documentary is pretty interesting on the whole. Dude, First Earth Battalion!
