Resist Cardiac Arrest!


In 1985 Britain became a signatory to the United Nations Convetion Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

In November 2007, the United Nations declared that the use of the taser constitutes a form of torture. The use of a designated instrument of torture is inherently in violation of the international convention, therefore ALL USE OF TASERS AND SIMILAR WEAPONS OF ELECTRO-COERCION ARE ACTUALLY AND LEGALLY ACTS OF TORTURE. These weapons evolved from the Argentine picana electrica, an electric cattle-prod used in the slaughter-houses of Buenos Aires. They were soon exploited by Latin American police for torturing civilians, and this spread, notably to the concentration camps of China, where similar devices have tortured and murdered thousands of innocent people, including many monks and nuns. Spreading to the USA in the 70s, these weapons initiated the L.A. riots, with the taser-torture of Rodney King. The Death-toll from tasers in North America is over 530 people, mostly unarmed, many already in custody, handcuffed and in cells.

A taser gives the bearer push-button control over the body of another person this is euphemistically known as pain-compliance. The weapon delivers 50,000 volts at a third of an amp, causing skeletal muscle spasms, loss of control of bodily funcitions, including bowel function, unbearable pain, and not infrequently, CARDIAC ARREST. It is not unusual for the fish-hooked probes to imbed in the genital area, where the taser company advises the police to aim. One of the many warnings that come with every taser sold states that the weapon contains chemicals which, if released by damage to the device, are known to cause cancer and birth-defects.
In view of the above information, and particularly the taser¿s violation of the UNCAT, I launched the RESIST CARDIAC ARREST campaign in February 2010, to raise public awareness of the taser-threat to liberty, safety and health; and to encourage politicians to uphold the UNCAT. Interestingly, two of the smaller parties who have not been corrupted by power, responded positively to the campaign the Green Party & Mebyon Kernow both issued statements agreeing that the use of the taser was in violation of UNCAT. When asked for his view on the legal status of taser, Andrew George MP repeatedly evaded the question, as did various police chiefs and the deputy Prime Minister. The RESIST CARDIAC ARREST Campaign will continue it¿s work of lobbying the power structure for justice, and is currently in communication with the British Government over its failure to uphold the international agreement on standards of Human Rights that is the United Nations Convention Against Torture.

The recent case of the lad tortured in Falmouth is typical of the many hundreds of cases around the world. History shows that when a new weapon comes along, there will always be some who are happy to use it, particularly if they are sanctioned by some form of authority.

there are also numerous articles in recent copies of The Limpet, at the Save The Holy Headland Blog discussing the phenomenon of weapons of electrical torture and their effect on everything from Liberty to Language. http://savetheholyheadland.blogspot.com/2011/02/public-test-british-democracy.html

Democracy does not reside with the authorities, it is in the hands of the People, who are the ultimate authority. Please follow the RESIST CARDIAC ARREST Campaign & look out for forthcoming actions in the campaign for Non-Violent Justice. Remember the dead and work for the living. Thank you, and Peace to One and All.
