Long term and short term effects of stress and sleep deprivation can cause the body damage and be deadly.
Acid-Base disorders, caused by high levels of stress and sleep deprivation, leads to osteoporosis or bone loss.
Cushing’s Syndrome, caused by high levels of stress and sleep deprivation, leads to muscle loss or muscle wasting.
Sleep deprivation prevents the growth hormone, which builds muscle and bone, from being released in the sleep cycle.
Sleep deprivation "messes up", increase decrease, your hormones like cortisol, growth hormone, and testosterone.
The cell repair hormones can be over whelmed with lack of sleep, and make more DNA errors, causing more mutations, leading to increase risk of or cancer.
Sleep deprivation can cause heart attacks or strokes.
Sleep deprivation can lead to loss of consciousness resulting from the failure of red blood cells to transport oxygen to the brain.
Sleep deprivation leads to a “pre-diabetic state”.
Sleep deprivation negatively affects the production of a hormone called Leptin causing weight gain.
Sleep deprivation affects adversely the white blood cell count in humans as well as the body’s ability to fight infections resulting in a weakened immune system.
Sleep deprivation can cause depression.
Sleep deprivation causes such a very sharp rise in cortisol, the stress hormone, levels. Such an imbalance can lead to hardening of the arteries, something that can cause a heart attack. Sleep deprivation's effects are also system-wide, causing the kidneys to retain more sodium and effecting structural changes in organs that participate in blood pressure regulation, including the kidneys, heart and blood vessels. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease, which, in some form, affects more than 80 million Americans and can cause heart attacks, heart failure and strokes. Very high cortisol levels lead to muscle loss, increased fat storage, loss of bone mass, cause depression, cause hypertension, cause insulin resistance (the cells in the body lose the ability to accept insulin), and lower growth hormone and testosterone production.
Sleep deprivation causes depletion of neurotransmitters in the brain that are in charge of regulating mood. Because of this, sleep deprived people have a “shorter fuse” and also tend to get depressed more easily. Melatonin, primarily secreted at night, may trigger a reduction in the body's production of estrogen.

Pat Buchanan Bush administration War Crimes – Dick Cheney Defense Invalid
Pat Buchanan on morning Joe “the President should stop it …if it’s done, if it’s illegal, if they did it, and if it’s a war crime, I think you’ve got to move forward”. Pat Buchanan is another forward thinking isolationist who still dreams and envisions building the Great Wall of North America.
Example of Double Standards
The Justice department, with Mr Star FBI, was relentless and non hesitant about going after and impeaching Bill Clinton to get to the bottom of the oral sex story with a young intern, and this gave way or lead to the Bush administration. If the Bush administration committed war crimes, close the books, turn the page, stop everything, don’t look back, and keep moving forward on the same track.
Example of Dick Cheney’s Invalid Defense Argument
I know for a fact that Dick Cheney claimed the United States would be attacked again, because he was hoping that the United States would be attacked again, so that he could somehow be vindicated and gain politically. He should be handed over to a special unit for “advanced interrogation techniques” for a few months. After he’s confessed to this fact, he can be sentenced and sent to “limbo Guantanamo” forever. Given the fact that he’s now confessed, the special unit cannot be prosecuted for using “special discussion techniques”.

To Prosecute or Not to Prosecute, that is the Question
I don’t think most people understand what happened or the full scope of what happened in the United States and to the United States during the 8 year Bush administration.
The only way the United States can protect its self and protect its self from what happened, or from what happened, happening again or happening again in an even worse way, criminals get smarter, is to prosecute, prosecute, and to prosecute even more.

Dick Cheney a Threat to US National Security
After 911 the Republicans gained politically and they used this power to violate and justify actions that violated US laws and international laws too. Fear was also used extensively to manipulate the US population, a rhetoric of fear and isolation, which was used to reduce their rights or gain more power over them. One of the ways they were manipulated was with impending threats of attacks and alert levels that fluctuated.
Dick Cheney is now also continuing his rhetoric of fear and impending attack, while the Obama administration is making progress internationally, and has endangered the United States. In the world of shadows, the enemies of the United States may actually attack now to give the Republicans, who are at an all time low and under political turmoil, a boost politically. Given the economic, international, and domestic harm the Republicans have done over the years, the enemies of the United States would gain, by a gain in popularity for the Republicans. An attack would also permit some Republicans, and Dick Cheney himself, the possibility to escape any prosecution or justice.
“Security and Authority - attacks to increase power
Security authorities or organizations will sometimes provoke and welcome attacks on themselves or those they are sworn to protect, and in some cases they may even attack themselves, so that they can obtain more power and authority over those they are said to protect.”

Possible Prosecutions - Eric Holder and Dick Cheney
Possible prosecution revolves around those who sanctioned these decisions that violated international laws, not what information was obtained, and Dick Cheney sanctioned and advocates torture. Reports of success can easily be fabricated through interrogations that produce false confessions and false information. The use of torture it’s self discredits and renders any possible information that Dick Cheney would like to protect himself or his actions with, invalid. The information obtained is similar to the information that “justified” the invasion of Iraq.
Those in the justice department that supported and complied with the demands of the Bush administration were “rewarded” while those who did not were “dismissed”.
The CIA is also often used to take the blame for different actions or demands from current administrations; in this case it is the Bush administration.
The United States has no problem on waging war on enemies or criminals, but when a US administration commits crimes or tries to circumvent international laws or US laws, it “loses” in more ways then one.
Psychological and Physical Torture (invisible) PTSD – Bush administration
http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-245540
"To violate the statute, an individual must have the specific intent to inflict severe pain or suffering," "Because specific intent is an element of the offense, the absence of specific intent negates the charge of torture. ... We have further found that if a defendant acts with the good faith belief that his actions will not cause such suffering, he has not acted with specific intent,"
The intent is to use force and harm, torture, and claim that there is no specific intent to escape prosecution. Another intent is to use people’s ignorance that psychological torture is not harmful or does not inflict suffering.
Psychological torture is usually used because of its invisibility, and to try to escape prosecution, but it has serious mental and physical effects.
Degrading themes and humiliation were used in this example. “Other memos allowed the use of such tactics as keeping a detainee naked and in some cases in a diaper, and putting detainees on a liquid diet…"Detainees subject to sleep deprivation who are also subject to nudity as a separate interrogation technique will at times be nude and wearing a diaper,"”
Sleep deprivation and a liquid diet do affect the body physically and can lead to very serious illnesses, one of them being acid-base disorders.
High levels of stress, sleep deprivation, and liquid diets all reduce macrominerals like potassium in your body which leads to acid-base disorders. The reduction in macrominerals and higher levels of cortisol can also lead to PTSD.

God, the Universe, and the Human Species
These are my personal beliefs and they may offend your personal religious beliefs, so if you believe they will, please do not read any further.
I do believe in God but not the way most people do or would except.
Anyway you want to look at it I am God, and so are you.
Before you jump to the wrong conclusion let me explain. If you see the Universe as God or if you see everything as being part of God or if you see every living thing as being part of a life force that is God, you are part of it, and God also.
No you are not the Universe and you are not me, but all are part of God, and God. God is not divisible as in half-God or part God or 1/100 God.
The Human species will either continue to evolve to something greater or we will destroy ourselves or be destroyed by something else. The process of evolution will continue with other species and in other parts of the universe.
