KUBARK Torture, Cruel and Inhuman treatment, State sponsored violence. Happening Inside and Outside of detention on a wide scale.
Here is a list of the most common KUBARK torture methods used as a system of state sponsored violence, crimes against humanity for coercion, control, punishment (in detention):
*Sleep deprivation, often accomplished via sensory overload, depredation, and passive pain infliction, like stress positions, beatings, poisonings and illness.
*Sensory Overload: loud noises including threats and shouting, crying, beating of other prisoners, bad, noxious smells, bright or strobing light, vibration, etc. Heat and cold. Uses unavoidable overload of the senses and emotional overload like stress, fear, anxiety, anger.
*Sensory deprivation: dark cells, hooding, masking, gloves, isolation, bland food, white noise, strapped to the bed or other extreme limitation of movement.
*Stress positions that inflict terrible pain and over time, prevent rest, cause increasingly grave harm like being forced to stand for days, being forced to kneel on sharp ricks, or shackled to a bed, wall etc.
*Lack of access to water, food, sanitation, medical treatment, heat/cold-exposure.
*Depredation- bad food, water, no access to sanitation, bad smells, filthy clothes, bedding. Neglect especially medical.

*electrocution especially genital
Kubark torture adapted for use outside detention, but in control:
After decades of research and practice, KUBARK torture is practiced outside detention, just like the Stasi Zersetzung methods were:
*Sleep Deprivation through constant AND intermittent sound, light, vibration, smells, pain from poisons, illnesses, untreated illness. Some random/varied type of sleep-disturbing stimulus is only necessary every half-hour to 45 minutes to produce profound and damaging sleep deprivation.
*Sensory overload- which is also used for sleep deprivation: loud noises including crying, yelling, domestic violence from neighbors, street and traffic noise, airplanes and helicopters, cell phones and alarms, barking dogs, bad, strong smells like coffee, burning toast or rubber, fabric softener, tobacco, bright or flashing light, heat or cold, sabotaged (or noisy) HVAC systems, seemingly faulty electronic equipment or appliances, strong vibration like from trucks, emergency sirens, fireworks etc. are all common techniques. Recorded sounds or amplified noise via hidden speakers are also commonly used.
*Illness, poisoning, stress, anxiety that inflicts terrible pain and over time, prevent rest, cause increasingly grave harm, uncomfortable furniture, beds especially in hotels, hospitals….
*Lack of access to trustworthy, safe medical treatment, Harmful mistreatment like un-needed or painful dentistry, procedures, surgery, etc. Also very expensive. Maltreatment, misdiagnosis, withdrawal of medical care. Fake diagnoses, false lab tests, unnecessary and expensive treatment, poisonings which simulate or cause chronic illness, simulate life threatening conditions.
*Loss of job, status, financial and medical worry, grief from loss, attacks by co-workers, friends and family, Financial loss, theft, setbacks.
*Depredation- bad food, water, bad sanitation, smells/odor/gas that prevent adequate breathing, sabotaged drinking water, poisoned restaurant food or food kept in refrigerators, filth spread in residence, slow destruction of cars, appliances, residences, computers and cell phones, online accounts etc.
*Concentration, segregation: Via gulags and ghettos, control outside of detention facilitated by isolating, concentrating, red lining whole groups, minorities into neighborhoods, zones, cities- or physically isolated communities, reservations, gulags of poverty, deprivation, depredation: cold, remote, inhospitable, poisoned, poisonous, toxic water, marginal, subject to floods and disasters, on waste sites….Flynt Michigan, one possible example, Jackson Mississippi another.
*Isolation, rupture of family and social bonds; recruitment of family and friends as informants, provocations, blackmail, lies and insinuation, family fights and conflicts increased, divorce, family violence….
*Death threats, threats against family, simulation of death (e.g. malfunctioning C-Pap machine, chest pain, GI illness from poisoning medications, food, cancer scares, misdiagnosis, etc.)
