What are the karmic consequences of “weaponizing” music? At Guantanamo Bay, it was said music was used at high volume and on repeat to shock and break prisoners into confessing crimes. The detainees allegedly confessed to crimes they couldn’t physically have committed—anything to make the music stop. One was from the purple dinosaur children’s show character, Barney, his song, “I love you?” What can Creator tell us?

What this represents is not truly an indictment of this cartoon character's theme, but rather the cultural clash used intentionally to annoy, punish, and eventually exhaust and torment the prisoners, who were totally unprepared and unconditioned culturally to see that source of music as positive in any respect. And the fact it was weaponized through such excess volume could turn almost anything into a form of torture eventually because people do need times of peace, if only for sleep, but also to have their own thoughts with a mind uncluttered from being bombarded by outside stimuli that are intrusive and intentionally a manipulation designed to harm. And that is the nature of the weapon here, not that music is inherently dangerous and harmful innately, but that anything used with evil intentions can be perverted to become undesirable and even reprehensible, and felt as a personal assault on the being. That perception was not inaccurate on the part of the prisoners, to resent the actions of their captors. We can tell you, as a psychological ploy, it was a failure in the same way that anything perverse will not bring about a greater good but a worsening of things.
