Some of the comments I’ve received on my article “Propaganda and Gang-Stalking Vocabulary” have taken issue with my assessment that the term “targeted individual” stems from propaganda shaping misleading impressions of victims of involuntary directed energy weapons testing/torture and gang stalking. Some feel that using the alternative term “victim” suggests that we have somehow been weakened by such “targeting.” Understandably, it is a function of human ego to proudly resist admitting that the injustices we face have harmed us. The truth is that psychological attacks leave behind real wounds and casualties.

The dictionary defines the term “target” as: “To make a target for attack or bombardment, to setup or designate as a target or goal.” The term “target” falls short of describing the experiences of victims of directed energy weapons and gang stalking. They are, in fact, not simply targeted, but, under attack, the victims of a full-scale war against their minds and emotions. We tend to think of an “attack” or assault as something done with physical weapons, i.e., a knife, a gun, etc. Proof of the attack is usually a physical wound or casualty. However, directed energy weapons do not leave behind any physical evidence of their use. Psychological assaults through gang-stalking do not produce physical wounds. Are they damaging? Perhaps the following will help us to answer that question:

Military and intelligence agencies have long viewed psychological attacks as a valuable component of warfare. “If properly employed, PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) are designed to lower morale and efficiency in their target audience, creating dissidence and disaffection, isolation and alienation. PSYOPS have the potential to serve as a critical nonlethal weapons system, as well as a force protector and combat multiplier.” - Psychiatry & Mental Health PSYOPS: Psychological Operations. Did you notice that the US Department of Defense (the source of this quote) considers psychological attacks a nonlethal weapons system!

The intent of directed energy weapons and gang stalking is not primarily a physical casualty, but an emotional one. This is a psychological war where victory is not measured in dead bodies but broken minds and hearts. It is unrealistic to assume that we can undergo continuous psychological attacks for years and not sustain some emotional injury. The psychosomatic effects of long-term distress can eventually result in death. However, as victims, we can minimize the damage, treat the psychological wounds and find ways to heal.

The propagandistic term “targeted individual” ignores the “nonlethal weapons systems” used in a psychological war against victims. It ignores the mental and emotional damage that such weapons cause. In doing so, it allows those who employ psychological weapons (such as gang stalking) to avoid feeling any personal accountability for the damage that results.

Worthy of Note: Interestingly, in the Doctrine for Joint Psychological Operations issued by the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Military (issued July 10, 1993, revised September 5, 2003), guidelines on conducting military psychological operations are provided. This 125 page document consistently uses the terms “targeted individuals” and targeted groups” (or variations thereof) in describing the international targets of psychological warfare. Is it reasonable to conclude that online propaganda promoting the term “targeted individuals” is, at the least, influenced by this military vocabulary? Can we logically make the connection between misleading online propaganda behind gang-stalking / directed energy weapons torture and the military origins of these psychological “weapons systems?”

In view of the foregoing, I personally believe that the term “targeted individual” is part of the propaganda issued by quasi-military agencies covertly testing psychological weapons on American citizens.
