- How could the Sesame Street music go from child entertainment to torture for prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Graib?
Music elates, touches the soul and bypasses reason. Music is magic. But precisely this magic can turn it into an insidious weapon - for music and violence belong together. The brutal power of African war dances, the ferocity of Maori Hakas, the earth-shattering roar of US sound guns blasting Metallica at Taliban hideouts - the principle is always the same: Aggressive sounds demoralise the enemy and whip the allies into a frenzy.
In ’Songs of War’, we explore the extraordinary harmony between music and violence. Sesame Street composer, Christopher Cerf, always wanted his music to be fun and entertaining. But then he learned that his songs had been used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. He is stunned by this abuse of his work and wants to find out how this could happen.
Cerf embarks on a journey to learn what makes music such a powerful stimulant. In the process, he speaks to soldiers, psychologists and prisoners tortured with his music at Guantanamo and find out how the military has been employing music as a potent weapon for hundreds of years.

I feel this should be thought of for retail workers. We need to stop bombarding them with endless music.
That Slayer/Johnny Cash Mashup is 🔥
Many of the techniques listed are used in jails across the country. They have also been used in facilities holding migrants. The uncomfortably cold rooms have been mentioned over and over again by anyone who has experienced these facilities. The preventing sleep and the lack of food as well. Even using scalding hot water for showers that you couldn't get used to or enjoy. This type of torture is used on people who haven't been convicted of any crime, in facilities holding children and migrants that may very well have every legal right to be granted asylum and citizenship.
Ironic that the French music psychologist speaking at the same time as her dissonant translator creates such discordance.
Chris Arendt is a fine and responsible person. A dishonorable discharge will make it hard to find employment. Its actually an honorable thing that he did. Why doesn't somebody help him find a job.
New Zealand government played non stop music on the demonstrators outside parliament a few weeks ago hoping they would leave the grounds.
I'll probably get a lot of criticism for saying this, but, as long as the torturers weren't using Led Zeppelin's, "Fool in the Rain", as one of the songs, I'd say that the songs still fell within humanitarian guidelines.
They did this in Waco to try and get Koresh and the Dividians out of the house. Along with blaring music extremely loud for days on end, they also played screeching animal sounds, such as a rabbit dying/screaming.
The Amazon TV series Patriot used American Pie as torture. It would break me on day one.
You remind me of a Chinese intellectual. Always inform people of darkness
You ever heard german "Schlager"? That's the ultimate Weapon of Massdumbness... 🧟♂️
I'm gonna get some hate for this comment, especially from people who love the military, but it's really frustrating to listen to the Drowning Pool members. And I say that as someone who loves rock and metal. "Sucks that you have to go to war to keep peace." Like no buddy, you don't have to do anything. Your government told you it was for peace, and you just believed in them blindly. How could people be this gullible? If the government told him to jump off a bridge for peace, would he do it? And then his friend jumps in and says "We can argue all day, should somebody be somewhere, should we be the world police.." What's wrong with arguing about that? What's wrong with asking those questions exactly? What business DO you guys have in other people's countries, keeping the "peace"? (Mind you, he did say the band has conflicting opinions on this issue, so I don't know what his stance is.)
Strong yeezus vibes
Frey effect 'Chatsbots' running 24/7 below the sound pitch of the MICROWAVE?LASERSOUND? signal on AGI Neural Weapons whisper and sound drunk or drugged either slurred speech or 'elated'. WHISPERED SPEECH is a RUSSIAN TORTURE that induces brain exhaustion. The Brain gets no rest. Other features are - If a tap is turned on, the 'voice' can be carried on the sound of the water. Sound blocking recordings, are infiltrated by operating below the signal and as if in the distance with a HOWLING WIND sound. 24/7 X 4+years and the nerve endings along the arms begin to seem weaker and as if burnt or raw. There is a sensation of soreness to the touch and lack of strength in the muscle. Has this weapon been used against Julian Assange?
how to apply to for job in Guantanamo ? 🤟
Bagram? That was Abu
What damage is done to the mass of the brain when it is bombarded with MICROWAVE AGI NEURAL WEAPONS 24/7 for FOUR YEARS? Is there long term NEUROLOGICAL damage? Is this RADIATION CARCINOGENIC? What TISSUE DAMAGE is caused? Are the HEART, LUNGS, LIVER and KIDNEYS DAMAGED? Is the HEARING and EYESIGHT damaged? What regulations exist?
I dont think its imposible but noot the sessmi street
With AGI Neural Microwave Weapons with FREY Effect they could play a recording of your dead son begging for his life as he is about to be flung from a helicopter. To the sound of the helicopter engine you can hear the wind rushing by and a foreign voiced man saying he is being killed. Your son will say this is a mistaken identity,that he is not X that his name is JS and his mothers name is AS and that he is a human being that they are going to kill. And the same brutes if you are still on the programme of torture 4 years later will say, 'Very nice. Very nice. That was very funny'. They will also say you will never be taken seriously but will be deemed INSANE for saying this and all your civil rights are now gone. That is why HAVANA SYNDROME is NEVER DESCRIBED by the victims. That is why everybody thinks Havana Syndrome is just the sound of the everpresent MICROWAVE SIGNAL which sounds as they say like 'cicadas' - which is true. FREY LASER SOUND EFFECTS ARE NEVER MENTIONED. What are the INCUBATORS and which country are they in?Israel,Russia Switzerland, Columbia or Brazil?
Drowning pool is trailer trash. Really .
