that's just my opinion but 5 years later you really won't care what's there, you'll just look and think: at least it's not plan monochrome skin. I think after a year the hype wear down but after 5 years the subject is just bleh.

The Invisible War - Official Trailer

Published on May 30, 2012 by NewVideoDigital

Coming to theaters June 22nd 2012! Follow on Facebook for details: [ www.facebook.com ]

THE INVISIBLE WAR is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within our US military. Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire with the number of assaults in the last decade alone in the hundreds of thousands.

Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of several young women, the film reveals the systemic cover up of the crimes against them and follows their struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. THE INVISIBLE WAR features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm conditions that exist for rape in the military, its history of cover-up, and what can be done to bring about much needed change

From Oscar®- and Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Kirby Dick (This Film Is Not Yet Rated; Twist of Faith) comes The Invisible War, a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of America's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military. The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem-today, a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 19,000 violent sex crimes in the military in 2010. The Invisible War exposes the epidemic, breaking open one of the most under-reported stories of our generation, to the nation and the world.

THE MOST SHOCKING COVER UP IN THE UNITED STATES MILITARY
IS NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT


[ motleynews.net ]
May 19, 2012
Rape in the Military is an “Occupational Hazard”

Earlier today I went to see the film The Invisible War which is a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of our country’s most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within our US military. The Invisible War won the 2012 Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. It is a difficult film to watch, but a very important one. It is the sort of documentary made not only to portray the world, but to change the world. In this case, change can’t come soon enough.

The numbers of rape and the military procedure post-rape are astounding and numbingly shocking. The actual statistics of the occurrence of rape, both to women and men, are not entirely available as those who report being raped are typically discharged as well as often charged with another offense, such as adultery – even when it was the rapist that was married, not the victim. Therefore many victims remain quiet and harbor the damage deep within their mind and soul, forever growing like a cancerous tumor. An estimated number of 19,000 women and men are raped every year with 147 being convicted of a sex crime in 2009-2010 (see chart below, numbers from the Dept of Defense). That is an estimated 0.8% (or 0.008) conviction rate. Imagine what that would be like in the civilian world….

I know, it sounds insane, but this is what is going on in our nation’s military forces.

What shocked me most was the closing line at the end of the movie…. On December 9, 2011, Judge O’Grady dismissed a lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates which was filed by 28 military members and veterans who said they were victims of sexual assault. When Judge O’Grady dismissed the lawsuit saying that rape and sexual assault in the military are simply ‘incident to service,” he put his finger on the heart of the problem. According to the military’s argument, which Judge O’Grady accepted, rape and sexual assault is just an occupational hazard for service members.

An “occupational hazard.” Rape. One of the most violent physical assaults which forever haunts and permanently scars the victim, and our military condones it by simply stating that it is just part of being in the military. As if it is a wolf-whistle from a group of off-duty men at a local bar eying an attractive woman. The definition of an occupational hazard is a risk accepted as a consequence of a particular occupation. Occupational hazards of serving in the military are incidences such as pulled muscles, broken bones, IED’s, gunshot, no sleep, sleeping in a trench, being taken hostage, poor rations, rationing water, no showers, no toilets, and the list goes on and on. All of these items are out of control of your fellow man or woman which is serving right next to you. All except for rape.

Just look the other way.

Until the military decides to punish ALL those who commit rape, it will continue and never let up. There is a saying which goes, “There’s the right way, the wrong way, and the military way.” It appears as though rape is the military way.

In wrapping this up, I would like to note that I have met and personally know several military personnel and veterans alike who would just as soon put out their own eyes with a red-hot poker than they would violate and rape another human being. There are a significant number of honorable men and women serving… many more non-rapists than there are rapists. However, even one rape should never be tolerated under any circumstances. Is this an acceptable “trade-off” for many of those serving to protect our country? It appears so. There is no honor in rape. Now every time I see or talk to an enlisted man or woman who I do not know, I will always wonder if they have either been a victim of rape, or have been the rapist. I hope neither.

Bravo to those women and men who have come forth to help fight with enemy within.

Military sexual assault and rape 'epidemic'
Studies suggest as many as one in three female soldiers are raped during their US military service.
Sarah Lazare Last Modified: 20 Oct 2011 12:23


As many as one in three women in the US military are raped during their service, studies suggest [GALLO/GETTY]

"My experience reporting military sexual assault was worse than the actual assault," says Jessica (a pseudonym for her protection), a former marine officer and Iraq veteran who left the military because of her command's poor handling of her assault charges. "The command has so much power over a victim of sexual assault. They are your judge, jury, executioner and mayor: they own the law. As I saw in my case, they are able to crush you for reporting an assault."

Jessica is joining a civil lawsuit bringing claims against former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, charging that under their watch the military failed to adequately and effectively investigate rapes and sexual assaults within the ranks.

The litigation, which was filed in Virginia district court in February of this year by the law office of Susan Burke, is set to go to trial in the coming months. The initial suit named 16 plaintiffs, all former or current military service members - but in recent months that number has swelled to more than 30, as more and more veterans come forward as survivors of sexual assault.

These plaintiffs join the growing crescendo of veterans, military service members, spouses and their advocates speaking out against the problem of widespread sexual assault and rape in the US military.

As the war in Afghanistan passes its ten-year mark, sexual assault runs rampant within the ranks, with an estimated one in three female service members raped during their service, according to at least one peer-reviewed study. This is in a military where women comprise more 11 per cent of active duty service members deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan and more than 15 per cent of the total military, with at least 200,000 active duty women currently serving. This epidemic also affects men: 60 per cent of women serving in the National Guard and Reserve, along with 27 per cent of men, are estimated to have experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MST). Perpetrators rely on a chain of command that appears to offer virtual impunity for sexual assaults committed against lower-ranking service members.

'Re-traumatising' redress

Military reports and Congress-appointed task forces acknowledge that sexual assault within the military is widespread. While the Department of Defense (DoD) has repeatedly said it is attempting to curb the problem, the most recent evidence shows that it has failed to adequately address the spread of this outbreak.

The most significant change made by the military in the past decade was the creation of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) in 2005. This office, which encompasses the entire DoD, is responsible for oversight of sexual assault policies and the implementation of prevention and response programs. However, SAPRO is rife with problems. The primary role of the office is to track rapes and sexual assaults and release annual reports. According to the US Government Accountability Office's (GAO) own evaluation, SAPRO has failed to work with the disciplinary arm of the DoD, giving its reports and findings little muscle. Furthermore, the Report of the Defense Task Force on Sexual Assault in the Military December 2009, which was ordered by congress, found that funding of SAPRO had been "sporadic and inconsistent".

SAPRO introduced a system of restricted reporting, allowing survivors of sexual assault to make confidential reports, to avoid outing themselves in a hostile environment.

"We are finding that it is the victim who is punished when they report."

- Greg Jacob

While this step has increased the number of reports and created avenues for survivors to seek personal care, it does not launch an investigation into the assault. "Restricted reporting allows the military to ignore criminal aspects of sexual assault and to just take care of it," says Greg Jacob, a former Marine and the current policy director for the Service Women's Action Network (SWAN), an organisation dedicated to advocacy and providing a healing community for military service women.

Military officials claim that improvements have been made since the Defense Task Force's 2009 report. "DoD has a zero tolerance policy on sexual assault," says Cynthia Smith, SAPRO press spokesperson. "Over the past two years, DoD has affirmed its commitment to preventing and effectively responding to sexual assault. The department's focus has been on reducing the stigma associated with reporting, providing sufficient training for commanders, and ensuring adequate training and resources for prosecutors and investigators."

Yet, the prosecution rates of sexual assault in the military remains at eight per cent, a dismal percentage in light of the staggering number of assaults that are believed to go unreported. This compares to a 40 per cent prosecution rate for sexual assault charges in civilian courts, which itself is considered low. For cases that do make it to trial, sexual assault conviction rates are astoundingly low. According to SAPRO's most recent annual report, in 2010, of 3,158 reports of military sexual assaults, only 529 alleged perpetrators were convicted, while 41 per cent were acquitted or had charges dismissed. Some six per cent were discharged or resigned in lieu of courts-martial, which means that they were allowed to leave their jobs in order to avoid sexual assault charges.

Some survivors of sexual assault claim that SAPRO's "zero tolerance" policy has only succeeded in creating an environment where the command has incentive to deny and cover up sexual assault. "They have all of these generic catch phrases that sound great," says Jessica. "But in reality, 'zero tolerance policy' means that when you make a complaint, it is hidden. Assault reflects badly on the command. What results is cover ups."

Furthermore, critics charge that SAPRO's educational materials are ineffective and often serve to reinforce the mentality that victims are to blame for their own assault. According to the Defense Task Force's 2009 report, "the Task Force's interactions with Service Members suggest training is only marginally effective".

A sexual assault prevention poster released by SAPRO reportedly urges soldiers to "wait until she's sober" before propositioning a woman for sex. "The military believes falsely that if you eliminate alcohol you can eliminate sexual assault," says Jacob. "There is perception that it is the result of bad decision making on the part of the victim."

Critics charge that SAPRO fails to address the rape culture that permeates all aspects of military life. "Rape culture separates service members from a group of people that they can consider others, victims, weaker beings," insists Maggie Martin, Army veteran and member of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), an anti-war group comprising active duty service members and veterans who have served since September 11, 2001. "The rape culture in the military is another way that some service members reduce real life trauma to a joke that they can pretend is not real. It is a way for some to try to prove they are 'hardcore' to the point of inhumanity."

Many insist that the military, which is largely allowed to investigate itself, is still not telling the full story. A 2010 lawsuit filed by SWAN and the ACLU against the DoD and Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) was filed after the military refused requests for government records concerning rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment in the military.

"When I heard about women who had accused someone of rape or sexual assault it was always framed as some personal vendetta the women were taking out on those they accused," says Martin.

Selena Coppa, a former Army Sergeant of eight years and a current member of IVAW tells of an Army Specialist who was molested by another Army Specialist while drunk and passed out. "The woman who was assaulted found out the next morning what had happened. She wanted to do something or say something. Everyone was like, what are you talking about? That is not sexual assault, only sex counts as sexual assault."

According to Army policy, sexual assault includes sexual contact when the victim "does not or cannot consent." Yet, rules in the books are seemingly meaningless in an environment where sexual assault appears to go unreported and unacknowledged.

Impunity of high-ranking males

"She tried making official charges, and they were never prosecuted. They refused to prosecute them."

- Sergeant Coppa

For those who do seek redress for sexual assault and rape through the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the legal code governing military service members, many face an uphill battle in which they are pressured to drop their charges at every step along the way.

When Jessica was raped by a senior officer and his friend, she reported the assault to her command. However, she says that the ensuing investigation was nothing more than a retaliatory measure inflicted by a command that was more interested in covering up assaults and protecting their own reputations. "My command, and the [military lawyer] ordered to do it, produced not a thorough, but a voluminous - as cover ups often are - investigation that proved that I was routinely called disgusting denunciatory names by junior and senior Marines alike, but that because I wore make up and running shorts in the summer, that I therefore welcomed the harassment and subsequent assault and did not deserve protection," she says.

Jessica says she requested a deployment to Afghanistan to get away from the harassment and isolation she faced after filing her report, but when this was denied, she decided to leave the Marines, which she was able to do because of her status as an officer. Jessica joined the lawsuit against Rumsfeld and Gates because, she says: "No one right now is holding commanders accountable." Meanwhile, Jessica says that she is still pursuing charges against her alleged perpetrator through the UCMJ.

Lower enlisted service members who are raped or sexually assaulted, however, often do not have the option of leaving, with many forced to continue serving alongside their perpetrators, including in war zones. "They are putting people in a situation where they are totally dependent on their peers, and when their battle buddies rape them, their superiors are not doing anything about it, explains Johanna (Hans) Buwalda, a mental health provider who has worked with survivors of war for more than twenty years. "There is no safe place for them to go. They can't even leave the military. They have to fulfill their contract." Some researchers say that military sexual trauma compounds deployment-related traumas by excluding women from military camaraderie and fraternity.

These military sexual assaults are in addition to the countless rapes and sexual assaults that have been carried out against civilians at the 800 US military bases around the world, including within occupied populations in Iraq and Afghanistan. While there have been several high-profile scandals exposing US military rapes and slayings of Iraqi and Afghan civilians, as well as sexual assault and humiliation as a tool of torture, there is little information about overall rates of military sexual assault of civilian populations overseas. If sexual assault rates within the military are any indicator, sexual violence would seem to be endemic to the US' global military presence.

Last April, Jennifer (a pseudonym for protection), who is a civilian, reported sexual assault by her then-boyfriend after he returned from a tour in Afghanistan with the Marine Corps. Her alleged assaulter's sergeant major told her that she sounded like a "crazy ex-girlfriend" and that her sexual assault charges were not viable. Jennifer spent the next year and a half contacting everyone she could think of in hope that the military would take her charges seriously. She watched as her assault charges were ignored and dismissed by SAPRO, the NCIS, and even the Pentagon. After navigating countless meetings and phone calls with caseworkers, sexual assault survivor advocates, and even several congressional representatives, Jennifer feels that she has made little progress in her effort to get a fair process through military channels, and, to date, there is no indication that her charges will bear any consequences for her alleged assaulter. Within two months of her report, her alleged assaulter was promoted, and she says that he may be deployed any day, if he is not already.

Jennifer says that the process of attempting to press charges has been deeply traumatising. "When you have been assaulted, talking about it is hard enough," she says. "And having to wait to hear back from someone for help makes you want to give up."

"I do not trust the US military at all. Their rules and regulations are nothing more than words on paper," she says. "I am a woman and a civilian, and I have been treated like nothing more than a dog."

The 1996 Federal Lautenberg Amendment, which makes it illegal for people convicted of domestic violence to carry a weapon, extends to the armed forces. With many forms of sexual assault falling under the rubric of domestic violence, assault convictions could preclude a service member from carrying a weapon.

Yet, if these assaults go unreported and untried, little stands in the way of perpetrators serving in combat, sometimes alongside those they have assaulted.

Furthermore, the military often blatantly ignores this federal law and sends convicted sex offenders and domestic abusers into war in a climate where the military is overextended, from fighting two ongoing wars. Since September 11, 2001, the DoD has been granting an increasing amount of "moral waivers" which permit soldiers convicted of domestic violence and sexual assault to serve in combat.

High rates of sexual assault take a profound toll on the mental health of service members. Sexual assault is the number one predictor for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for women serving in the military, according to a study in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development. Yet the difficulty and stigma against reporting sexual assaults creates significant obstacles for survivors seeking care and disability benefits through the VA. A study by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America shows that approximately 40 per cent of homeless female veterans report having been sexually assaulted in the military.

Members of IVAW are drawing attention to the problem of sexual assault and rape that plagues the military. "IVAW's campaign Operation Recovery is focused on raising awareness about sexual assault and gender-based violence," explains Martin. "We are building a healing community where veterans and service members can challenge military leadership and stand up for the right to heal and the right to access the care survivors of trauma need."

"As an organiser I believe that the best way for us to combat military sexual trauma is to tell the truth about it," insists Martin. "We need to tell the truth that all types of people are sexually assaulted and that no one deserves it. We need to start looking to the perpetrators of sexual assault and the military environment for answers, not look to victims to see how they can be blamed for their own assault."

Rémy Couture
by John Semley May 2, 2012

Released in 1960, Michael Powell’s voyeuristic thriller Peeping Tom was immensely controversial. Following a largely sympathetic serial killer and featuring scenes of graphic violence that dwarfed Hitchcock’s Psycho (released three months later), Peeping Tom is now considered a classic, admired for its ballsy prurience and psychological complexity. At the time, it effectively ended Powell’s career.

Canadian visual-effects artist and filmmaker Rémy Couture is at a similar crossroads. His work—which is extremely graphic, even by horror industry standards—is being put on a trial this December for “moral corruption” and “distributing obscene material” some three years after he was arrested in his Montreal home. His conviction would set a slippery, and ludicrous, precedent in Canada. The jury trial date was set earlier this week.

Couture’s case has become a rallying point for artists, filmmakers, a horror fans who believe that as graphic or repellent (or even, as the Globe & Mail’s Russell Smith put it, “dumb”) as Couture’s videos are, they’re not illegal. Tom Savini, the so-called “Sultan Of Splatter” responsible for loosing all kinds of arterial spray in films like Dawn Of The Dead and Maniac, has rushed to Couture’s defense. As have editors at two of horror fandom’s most prominent rags, Rue Morgue and Fangoria, both published out of Toronto. For these guys, Couture has become something of a cause célèbre.

Couture’s more concerned with the practicalities. Stuff like paying for legal fees, building his case, and the prospect of facing jail time for creating video content which, no matter how gnarly, is above all else fake. Like Peeping Tom’s Michael Powell before him, Couture’s creative career now faces a decisive end. Waves of cult appreciation may follow. But it’s small consolation when he needs the help now. The A.V. Club spoke with Couture at his home on Montreal about his arrest, his work, and the dangerous precedent a guilty verdict would set.

The A.V. Club: For people who haven’t been following your trial and arrest, can you tell us what exactly happened?

Rémy Couture: It all started with my website, Inner Depravity, which has been online since 2005. This website, it was my own work, my own creations. You could see all the photography and some short movies, of a character in a mask doing murder and stuff like that.

AVC: Did someone see it and think it was real?

RC: I think it was a guy from Germany. He saw it and he called INTERPOL. INTERPOL tried to see who was behind this website. It was hosted, legally, in Los Angeles. Everything was legal, right? But they followed me, and sent a warrant to the Montreal police. The funny thing is that this website has a disclaimer that says this was not real, that it was all fake and makeup. It’s funny that the Montreal police would send two undercover police when it had this disclaimer.

AVC: The police went undercover as two people wanting you to do a photo shoot of them, right?

RC: They pretended to be two people who wanted makeup for Halloween, because they’d seen my portfolio. They turned out to be two undercover police. They arrested me on my street, and went in my house trying to find something—I don’t know, maybe a cadaver or something. I was in the police station for hours. I thought it was a joke. I tried to find a hidden camera or something. But it was not a joke. The police, they seized my computer, they seized my passport, they seized my credit card. I don’t know why. Maybe they thought they’d find something on my computer, murder or something like that. But they realized everything was fake. My studio is in my basement. They saw my fake heads, fake limbs, fake blood, and everything. So then the police felt stupid, but they still charged me. Now the charge against me is “corruption of morals through distribution of obscene materials.”

AVC: So you think the police charged you for this because they felt they’d been duped after finding your workshop and realizing the videos weren’t real?

RC: I think so. But we don’t know. In the few weeks after my arrest, the police called me and said, “Okay, go to the courthouse and just plead guilty and we’ll give you the absolution. No charge or anything, but you’ll have to shut down your website.” I said no. Because, guilty of what? They said my material was illegal. If my material is illegal, they’d have to arrest the whole horror industry! I haven’t done anything new, or too disturbed. You can see the same in horror movies, in cinema, in Hollywood. The charge was—how do I explain it—I was arrested in 2009 and charged in 2010. It took one whole year to charge me.

AVC: The idea has circulated a bit since you’ve been charged that, as a visual effects artist, you couldn’t buy this kind of publicity, and that it’s only served to expand your profile. Do buy this?

RC: Well, if I’m found guilty it will be really bad for my career. I won’t be able to travel in the U.S. and stuff like that. If I’m not guilty, then maybe, yeah, some things would come up for my career. But it’s cost me so much money, and so much stress. I don’t really care about the good consequences. Right now I’m paying the price, in stress and in money. Right now I can’t see the good part. Maybe in five years, I will laugh about it. It’s just stress now. And my girlfriend has cancer, so that’s causing more stress. It’s cancer on one side, and my trial on the other side. It’s like a nightmare.

AVC: That’s terrible news about your girlfriend, Rémy.

RC: We found out about that one month ago. For two weeks, she’s been in my home. And she has a big operation in June. The trial was originally in June, so it’s a good thing it’s been pushed back until December. Right now we’re just focusing on the cancer. All our energy is on that.

AVC: You’ve received a lot of support from people in the horror film industry. Tom Savini has spoken out in support of you. How does that feel?

RC: I’ve met Tom Savini, and we keep in touch. He’s really upset about what’s happened to me. And I’m a good friend of Rodrigo [Gudiño] of Rue Morgue magazine in Toronto. For them, too, it’s kind of unbelievable. We can’t close our eyes on what happened. If I’m found guilty it’ll open a door for something really dangerous with the horror industry in Canada. A lot of people don’t like what I do, but they don’t agree with the criminal charge behind that. I’m facing jail time. I’m facing criminal recourse. It’s not a joke, you know?

AVC: Well the issue seems to be precedent: If your work is judged as “obscene” or “corrupting” morals, then where is the line drawn next?

RC: Exactly. I think I’m kind of an example now. They try to make an example with my case. I think. I don’t know for sure.

AVC: On the Support Rémy website, there’s a short called “Bloody Blow.” Is this something you made in particular reference to the trial?

RC: Yeah, I made it two months ago, I think. I’m trying to do some short movies to express myself, and how I feel about this case. And to try and catch the attention of people. I’ll release another one in summer. But it’ll be really funny and satiric. It’ll be in the same vein, but in a comedy way.

AVC: How can people support you? You mentioned all the legal fees you’re incurring.

RC: On the site, you can give donations, or buy T-shirts, to help my case. It costs so much money. It’s about like $30,000, and more. I have to pay my lawyer. And I have to pay experts in the trial—psychologists, criminologists, teachers in cinema. We have to bring in a lot of experts, and we have to pay them, too. So people can help me, and know the story. On this website, everything is explained for people who want to know more about my case.

there was an ad which stayed the whole film then finally disappeared at the end ; a new one replaced it which had a timeout, good thing.

not only did the men hit a men down, he hit him while he was unconscious. I guess he was death penalty supporter.

I think it's always a bad idea to leave status quo when making decisions ; even if proven (policy), a review can't do harm.

C'est en effet une attaque sur le droit d'association. Je sais pas si c'est une attaque sur la démocratie. Il y a déjà eût un mandement constitutionnel ou un référendum concernant le droit d'association ? Si c'est pas le cas, je vois pas ce qui est à crier de débattre ça devant la cour.

Si le droit d'association est en péril, pourquoi toutes ou une bonne partie des associations se joignent pas à la cause ?

Je vois pas ou est le péril directe si les grévistes maintiennes leur rang et incluent la nouvelle génération (si le gouvernement brise les associations donc des étudiants "libres" arrivent) ; ils auraient qu'à convaincre les nouveaux de se joindre à leur cause et ainsi maintiendraient leur rapport de force.

Pour ce qui est des médias, les dirigeants gréviste peuvent toujours offrir à répétition leur intervention à même ces médias, ainsi dans un refus peuvent crier haut et fort la propagande.
