piquetero

Spanish for "picketer", the term has come to refer in English mainly to the Argentine unemployed workers' movement who have spearheaded repeated waves of protest involving blocking and barricading roads. The term is now sometimes used for those who use similar tactics, even in non-Spanish-speaking countries.

The piqueteros responded to the IMF visit by blocking roads across the capital and marching on the central bank building, where they clashed with police.

stress and duress

Newspeak for torture, used by the CIA and its allies. "Stress and duress" tactics are used in interrogations, and refer to a variety of tortures and forms of mistreatment which the CIA thinks are OK. These include:
sleep deprivation
overload of light
complete darkness
stripping and sexually humiliating prisoners
threatening to torture and rape prisoners
threatening prisoners' families
making prisoners stand, sit etc. in uncomfortable positions to induce pain
denial of satisfaction of basic rights and needs such as food, bedding, clothing and exercise
deliberate cultural insensitivity and intolerance
verbal abuse
use of painful "restraint" techniques
beatings

These techniques are widespread also in US prisons, although nominally illegal. They are more widely used in deregulated offshore gulags such as Guantanamo Bay, abu Ghraib in Iraq and Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan.

Don't be fooled - these tactics ARE TORTURE, and are defined as such both by the UN and by experts in trauma. Their role is to break down the sense of personality of the prisoner and to deliberately induce psychological trauma and crisis.

They are directly referred to in CIA handbooks - so the photos from abu Ghraib show a systematic pattern of torture, NOT rogue acts by a few stupid/evil/misguided soldiers.

2) Be informed that your current activity is considered a Biteable Offence in the laws of Dogdom, and/or by the statutory authority of myself;

3) I hereby assert my proprietary right over this food/bone/toy/piece of fox-shit, and declare my intent to defend this right against all persons subsequently wishing to take possession of it;

4) I do not wish to perform the action which you have requested of me. Please refrain from making any further requests of this kind at the present time;

5) I believe that my territorial rights may have been violated by another being of some description, including but not limited to: dog, cat, frog, bird, postman, traffic cone and fallen tree, and I wish to investigate the suspected violation forthwith;

6) You are a fucking cunt and I'm going to fucking bite you.
