One of the regimes to practise mass torture was the Catholic Inquisition of Spain in the Late Middle Ages.
This was preceded by the early Middle Ages witch hunt against Witches and Witch Craft---which may have claimed the lives of 60,000 mostly women and 100,000's processed through the torture chambers until in was discredited in the 17th century in Europe, though its practise continued in the USA.
Then we arrive in the Jewish Bolshevik revolution of the former Russian Empire which practised torture on an industrial scale preceding the NAZIS .....with 60 million deaths from 1917--1991.(I mention it as the Jewish run media in the West CELEBRATED the Holocaust with much hype and pomp, involving world leaders in solemnity, dignity, guilt....with a pinch of Iran bashing--rather tasteless equating the CIA mullahs with the Nazis)
Then finally, almost ....we of course have the Nazis of Germany who are most famous because their torture was the most recent and the most documented.....The death of 6 million Jews, and along with them millions of others in concentration camps, but also outside them by einsattzgruppen troops who also killed millions in the occupied battle field...outside of the concentration camps.
Finally we have Pol Pot in his Communist paradise which claimed the lives of a quarter of the population in Cambodia. As the masses were heared into UN-economic and UN-livable villages into year zero, their specialty was to photograph victims in their finest clothes, before being executed (so in the gulags if you were photographed it meant eventual execution a day later or a week....)
And so into this illustrious group of cultish genociders we must add the GLOBALIST CIA. .....its black rendition sites, torture chambers, people kidnapped off the streets, ....dogs used to bugger inmates, slashing of penises using razor blades and so on. All good habits copied from the Nazis and first practised in IRAN under the SAVAK created by the CIA, with hired Nazis from Germany.
CIA torture has a long history dating back to Iran and 1953.

What is interrogation?
What is torture?
Why torture if you should be interrogating like in a 'REAL WAR'? ___________________________________________________
One of the CIA's waterboarding torturers called himself "The Preacher" and shouted religious nonsense while performing executions
By Cory Doctorow at Bongo Bongo blogspot
More word from the ongoing attempt to bring the people responsible for years of CIA torture to justice: one of the three waterboarding specialists at Guantanamo was called "The Preacher" because while he was drowning suspects to the point of near death, he "would at random times put one hand on the forehead of a detainee, raise the other high in the air, and in a deep Southern drawl say things like, 'Can you feel it, son? Can you feel the spirit moving down my arm, into your body?'"
The sadistic torturer's real name isn't known. He was codenamed NZ7.
Tales of The Preacher's behavior first surfaced in "Enhanced Interrogation," the torture apologia penned by James Mitchell, the rogue psychologist who designed the CIA's torture program (his company was paid $80m for this work, which also included instructions for anal rape, freezing people to death, and shoving hummus and nuts up men's asses).
Mitchell testified again about The Preacher this week during a pre-trial hearing for five of the men charged with planning and abetting the 9/11 attacks.
Mitchell's testimony paints him as a moderate torturer who was locked in internecine struggle with the CIA's in-house "interrogation chief," codenamed NX2 and believed to be Charlie Wise, a notorious torturer who practiced his craft in Nicaragua for the Contras (Wise died in 2003).
Mitchell describes how, on his tours of CIA torture sites, he would express concern that the techniques employed would maim the victims, and was silenced and even effectively incarcerated -- confined to an overseas base with no contact with the outside world. He said he was only released because the "tension" was "damaging morale."
CIA Director Gina Haspel was complicit in both torture and the subsequent coverup.

When the senior officials flew in, on 17 August, he waterboarded Abu Zubaydah even though he was quite sure the detainee had no actionable intelligence to surrender. It was done purely as a demonstration for the agency VIPs. And he applied the technique to the maximum extent allowed, pouring water on to a cloth on the prisoner’s face for 20 seconds and then a full 40 seconds. According to a CIA cable describing the event, Abu Zubaydah went into spasm.The visitors were stunned. “Some of the folks were tearful,” Mitchell said.“I was tearful, but I cry at dog food commercials,” Mitchell claimed. The psychologist’s eyes did indeed well up on a few occasions during his testimony this week, but the tears came when he was describing what he saw as his personal sacrifices. In contrast, he described waterboarding dispassionately, characterising it as “temporary discomfort”.
