An article in the Times of India, Aug. 12, 2011, discusses a new ultra-thin “electronic skin” device developed by researchers at the University of Illinois that allows for remote wireless monitoring of health related bodily functions from a thin rubbery material that can be applied to skin like a temporary tattoo. . .”  It uses a “diverse array of electronic components mounted on a thin, rubbery substrate, including sensors, LEDs, transistors, radio frequency capacitors, wireless antennas, and conductive coils and solar cells for power”to provide remote, non-invasive monitoring of a variety of bodily functions.

“We think this could be an important conceptual advance in wearable electronics, to achieve something that is almost unnoticeable to the wearer,” said University of Illinois electrical and computer engineering professor Todd Coleman, who co-led the multi-disciplinary team. 

I, like many other targets of involuntary psychological and covert torture weapons testing have long been aware that our bodily functions and emotional state have been remotely monitored  by some form of undetectable wireless technology. Could some variation of this technology have made that possible? Typically, most new technologies that have military potential are employed covertly for some time before being applied to consumer applications. Is that true of this “electronic skin” technology?  Perhaps there are covert applications of “electronic skin’ that are much smaller (making them nearly invisible) that can be adhered to the skin without consent. It is quite conceivable to envision government operatives using wireless technology such as smart phones or laptops to monitor the emotional and physical state of involuntary test subjects in various setting throughout the day. Could this technology, deemed “unnoticeable to the wearer” explain the covert physiological monitoring of involuntary participants in the development of covert psychological weapons?

I found the article entitled “Senators Say Patriot Act Is Being Misinterpreted” in the New York Times, dated May 26, 2011 of great interest. “Two Senators claimed on Thursday that the Justice Department had secretly interpreted the so-called Patriot Act in a twisted way, enabling domestic surveillance activities that many members of Congress do not understand.”

Could this issue be of relevance to those who are victims of involuntary covert torture weapons testing and ongoing psychological attacks? Here are two relevant quotes that I found of great interest:

“I want to deliver a warning this afternoon: When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they will be stunned and they will be angry . . .” —Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and a member of the Intelligence Committee.

“Another member of the Intelligence Committee, Senator Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado, backed Mr. Wyden’s account, saying, “Americans would be alarmed if they knew how this law is being carried out.”

I offer no opinion on the political issues involved, as I remain strictly neutral in political affairs. However, as a victim of injustices consistent with the thoughts expressed in this article I share it for its newsworthiness and potential relevance.

The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues convenes its fifth meeting in New York City on May 18-19th, 2011. Its agenda focuses on the issues of ethics and human experimentation. It remains to be seen what impact this will have on the lives of involuntary experimentees in covert remote energy weapons and psychological torture. To give some historical context to this issue, here is a brief list of some of the involuntary and controversial human experimentation admittedly conducted with government sponsorship over the course of the twentieth century. Source: healthnewsnetwork.com

1931 Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.

1932 The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.

1935 The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occured within poverty-striken black populations.

1940 Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.

1942 Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty.

1943 In response to Japan’s full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.

1944 U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite.

1945 Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.

1945 “Program F” is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs.

1946 Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word “experiments” to “investigations” or “observations” whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation’s veteran’s hospitals.

1947 Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Comission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects.

1947 The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge.

1950 Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates.

1950 In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Franciso. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms.

1951 Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.

1953 U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents.

1953 Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.

1953 CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the subprojects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.

1955 The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army’s biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.

1955 Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.

1956 U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects.

1958 LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army’s Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.

1960 The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT.

1965 Project CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs.

1965 Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.

1966 CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.

1966 U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.

1967 CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons.

1968 CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.

1969 Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.

1970 Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army’s top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses.

1970 United States intensifies its development of “ethnic weapons” (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.

1975 The virus section of Fort Detrick’s Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus).

1977 Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

1978 Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.

1981 First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine

1985 According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.

1986 According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.

1986 A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government’s current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.

1987 Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.

1990 More than 1500 six-month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an “experimental” measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.

1994 With a technique called “gene tracking,” Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made.

1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War .

1995 U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.

1995 Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.

1996 Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.

1997 Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.

Is there ever a boring day for victims of covert torture with directed energy weapons and ongoing psychological attacks? For me, the recent weeks have been quite interesting. There has been a stepping up of psychological attacks against me since I wrote the recent post on The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. In fact, there appears to be an all-out effort by the covert agencies harassing me to deliver a “knock-out punch.” Psychological attacks, covert “no-touch” torture, and strategies designed to lure me into an angered response have ramped-up considerably. Of course, these strategies are well choreographed in settings that are recorded and witnessed by other covert participants. Amazing as it may seem, I am now in my thirteenth year of these ongoing abuses!

I have also received recent veiled threats on my life and well being. Two, in one week. The first, was a very loud indirect warning from a guy warning that people who don’t keep quiet can ‘disappear.’ The second was in a nearly empty restaurant from an older man I see each time I eat here. He warned me in a carefully worded way that people often ‘disappear’ when they don’t ‘do the right thing.” I simply listened and politely ended the conversation when I finished my meal. It is senseless to argue “the right thing” with people who support the psychological abuse and torture of fellow citizens outside of the law.

Here is one example of the recent strategies used in an attempt to provoke me. This one took place in a pizza parlor I frequent near my home this past week. I stopped in to purchase a breakfast sandwich. Normally, some of the workers in this pizza parlor have given the usual verbal signals  that they are covertly supporting my surveillance. But otherwise, they have been polite, and have not tampered with my food (at least, as far as I’m aware). I always treat them, along with anyone else I see, here in a friendly and respectful manner.

However, on this morning, one of the workers made a rather dramatic display of unsanitary handling of the sandwich I ordered. He picked up my eggs, bacon and cheese from the grill with bare hands (or removed them from the spatula by hand when it was too hot to pick up directly from the grill) and then made an extra effort to carefully and slowly adjust all of the ingredients on the sandwich with bare hands. This is a skilled short-order cook who typically handles food properly. So this was highly unusual for him. This behavior, done only with my food as I watched, was intended to provoke and humiliate me. In the store standing behind me were two “gang-stalkers,” with a third outside. No doubt, the covert agencies behind these encounters were closely monitoring everything. They were waiting for an angered response that could be recorded and exploited as I received this “defiled” sandwich. It would be a black mark on my reputation that they work so hard to provoke.

I paid for the sandwich without mentioning the incident, thanked the cook and calmly left the restaurant.  About a block away I discarded the sandwich. It was probably okay to eat. However, I just wanted to leave this incident behind me as quickly as possible. My peace of mind means more to me than $5 lost on a discarded sandwich. Besides, I have more productive things to focus on.

This may seem to be a minor incident to most. However, it is not. Typically, when these psychological attacks occur, it is after an extended period of sleep deprivation. Perhaps sleep has been interrupted for weeks before such an attack ( this may be done by the use of noxious gases, noise, covert microwave or acoustic weapons). What psychologists know quite well is the connection between sleep deprivation and emotional responses. A person sleep deprived even for a couple of nights is far more likely to lose control of emotions. Their responses to any action, even minor ones, become much more aggressive. The mind loses its ability to discern between small and major incidents when sleep deprived. The amygdala, the area of the brain that oversees emotional reactions, goes into overdrive, responding to every incident in a big way. Therefore, a seemingly minor incident like the one in the pizza parlor can produce a big emotional response in a sleep deprived person. The agencies creating these torture programs can use emotional outbursts under these conditions as a reason to diagnose a targeted person as having a pathological mental condition. This may be why sleep deprivation is such a big part of the attacks targeted persons undergo. It is an extraordinarily cruel and inhumane action (a willful act of torture) to attack innocent fellow citizens in this way.

” . . . the deep emotional centers of the brain (the amygdala) were approximately 60% more reactive when you’re sleep deprived . . . even healthy people’s brains mimic certain pathological psychiatric patterns when deprived of sleep.” -Dr. Mathew Walker, director of the University of California, Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Laboratory

In hindsight, I have come to realize just how important sleep deprivation has been in these attacks. Remote acoustic and microwave weapons, noise harassment, and chemical dispersants are all in the arsenal of my attackers. I can see why this has been the one relentlessly consistent element of my abuse. Being robbed of sleep for weeks, months and years produces an emotional vulnerability that these ongoing psychological attacks are designed to exploit.

Therefore, you may ask, how have I been able to survive for more than thirteen years without a single outburst or fit of rage? What is my secret? Well, as you are no doubt aware, the mind is like the body, in that, what you feed it plays a large role in how it performs. I have been a lifelong student of the Bible, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. My principles, and the patterns that govern my behavior have deep roots in what I know of God. Although I am far from perfect, my default responses to adversity will most often reflect loyalty to Christian principles. Just as a strong, healthy body more effectively survives a wound or blow, a strong mind is much harder to compromise when under assault. For this reason, I have also been especially careful to avoid movies and other entertainment that promote “good-guy violence.” Exposure to propaganda that glorifies retaliation and ‘justified’ violence could weaken the principles guiding my thinking. Feed the mind a poor diet and it will fail you when under attack.

I always thank my Heavenly Father for the Bible principles that helps to me respond wisely in these potentially harmful encounters. I have all the help I need, and good reason to be confident regarding the future. In this case, maintaining peace and self-control, rather than reacting due to bruised ego was the smart thing to do. ” . . . because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. . .(Ecclesiastes 9:4) Knowing how the sleep deprived brain works, I am less likely to trust my emotions in such a setting.

“Look! I have made your face exactly as hard as their faces and your forehead exactly as hard as their foreheads. Like a diamond, harder than flint, I have made your forehead. You must not be afraid of them, and you must not be struck with terror at their faces . . .” -Ezekiel 3:8,9

Addendum: The Second Encounter, Not Unlike The First . . .

I decided to return to the pizza parlor (see incident above) the following day. After all, why let a little incident like this rob me of good local pizza?  As I approached, the cook who had spoiled my sandwich a day earlier was standing alone, just inside the display window, drinking coffee and watching me as I approached. That detail is worthy of mention because he is typically behind the counter cooking, and never alone. I stepped in, and with a smile on my face, asked pleasantly: “Sir, may I please order a medium pizza with pepperoni, onions and peppers? And, please, sir, make it for me the way you would make it for your own family.” “Of course,” he replied, “we’ll take care of you.”  There was a bit of nervousness on his part as he went behind the counter and started to make the pizza.

Another patron had quietly slipped in after me, witnessing our exchange. She was, of course, a “gang stalker,” hoping to play witness to a display of anger or frustration on my part. I could sense that she was surprised to see such a polite encounter. “I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses,” I told her without prompting. “We are able to make a point emphatically without resorting to profanity or verbal abuse.” She looked at me with a blank stare. Without saying a word, she left.  As the cook began to make my pizza, I realized that a small audience had quietly gathered just outside the pizzeria’s front window. Also, there were at least four other young men standing in the kitchen area that I had not noticed before.

Having been through this before, I knew what was happening. The humiliating events of yesterday were the setup for this second encounter. They were coached, and ready to exploit any outrage on my part. The men who had been hiding behind the counter were there to provide potentially-violent backup in case I became hostile. The outdoor “bystanders” were also eyewitnesses who were no doubt there to give an account of the incident that would not be in my best interest if the police were called. And, make no mistake, the police would show up in seconds if things went according to their plans.I had seen this setup a dozen times or more over the past decade.The goal was to use my response to destroy my good name among my neighbors.

I patiently waited for my pizza. In fact, I was so confident that the cook (the same one who made my ‘defiled’ sandwich the day before) would make a great pizza, I never once looked behind the counter to check on him. When it was ready, he called me over. I paid for it, thanked the cook, exchanged final pleasantries, and left. I could see nervous smiles on the faces of some of the “bystanders” as I left the pizzeria. They had gathered for nothing. I had not given them the show they were looking for. By the way, it was a great pizza, loaded with extra cheese!

Well now, what do you think? Was this the right response? Or, should I have made a big issue of correcting the slight against me a day earlier, showing my outrage with a few choice words? In truth, that was exactly what my antagonists wanted me to do.

 This cook, along with many of the people who work in the local shops I frequent, are neighbors and acquaintances that I must interact with on a daily basis. I do not hate them. I do know that they are being compelled to support these psychological attacks against me for a variety of reasons. They may be pressured, deceived, intimidated . . . whatever the reason is, I do not hate them. Also, I do not want them to hate me. As far as it depends upon me, I will make peace with them. Therefore, I use these encounters to show them what sort of person I really am. These folks, misled into harassing me, see me repeatedly responding with kindness to verbal taunts and humiliating treatment. By my responses, I am silently proving that I am unworthy of such ill treatment. In fact, some of them, at times have let me know, in subtle ways, that they respect me. They can sense the injustice, but are powerless to do anything about it. Indeed, in this  matter, I am reminded of Nazi Germany, where the vast majority of decent citizens went along with state-sponsored injustices out of fear for their own lives and livelihoods.

 ”If possible, as far as it depends upon YOU, be peaceable with all men. . .”  (Romans 12:18)

Are there ongoing, secret programs of involuntary testing of covert remote directed-energy torture weapons and psychological torture in the United States? Experts say that the kind of unethical medical studies and research that occurred half a century ago could still happen again despite more than 1,000 rules and regulations that should prevent such abuses. Bioethicists and researchers spoke Tuesday (March 1, 2011) before a presidential panel in Washington. The meeting was triggered by the government’s apology last fall for federal doctors infecting prisoners and mental patients in Guatemala with syphilis 65 years ago. President Barack Obama ordered his Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues to explore whether such a study could ever happen again.-Associated Press

The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues met on February 28 - March 1, 2011. A Public Comment Session on March 1st offered live testimony by alleged victims of remote monitoring, and torture with remote microwave and acoustic weapons. Here is a direct link to an online video archive of  the Public Comment session of The Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. These individuals, from all over the country (US) provide strikingly similar accounts of being victimized by covert torture weapons and being stalked and harassed (commonly termed “gang-stalking”) on a 24-hour basis.

To my recollection, this is the first, formal presentation of victim’s accounts before any formal federally financed board or committee. Those who participate in community policing and other “citizen watch” groups that stalk, surveil and harass individuals may get a deeper understanding of the abuses they may be supporting by watching the video referenced above.

A well written article on the ABC News website (originally from Associated Press) provides highlights of the numerous extraordinary abuses of medical ethics in testing done on the poor, disabled, mental patients, wards of the state and prison inmates more than 40 years ago. It seems to be standard practice for government agencies to admit to that these abuses only after the statute of limitations for victims right to sue has expired.

A very interesting television segment on the ease with which a seeming authority figure can convince innocent bystanders to violate the law and the rights of fellow humans.

Gangstalking - How They Do It from frv on Vimeo.

As I walked by the two young men a block from my home, their conversation confirmed what I had suspected upon my first sight of them. They were what is colloquially termed ‘gangstalkers.’ As they spoke to each other, they would repeatedly inject their conversation with the word ’security’ so that I was certain to hear it as I came within earshot. That is a common tactic of gangstalkers, designed to instill fear and paranoia in the target of their psychological abuse.

I approached them and decided to use that element of their conversation to make a point. “Hello guys!” I could not help but overhear you talking about security. Did you know that the most secure man to walk the earth never needed a cellphone nor, for that matter, a weapon to insure his security? That man was Jesus Christ. Let me share something about him that you may appreciate:

In Jesus’ day, much like ours, there were individuals who were treated as outcasts by the community. Jesus used the term “lowly ones” to describe them. Lowly ones were individuals who were rejected by public opinion and their community. In fact, even the families of these lowly ones were put under pressure to withdraw their support, leaving the lowly ones completely isolated. Most of these people were not criminals, they were simply hated for one reason or another.

Jesus however, did not go along with public opinion. Rather, he showed love and respect for the lowly ones. In fact, he healed them, taught them, even shared meals with them. Why? Because he loved them. He ignored the hateful attitudes in his community and did not imitate them in any way. In fact, Jesus was willing to be despised by much of his community because he associated with people everyone else hated. It is that sort of love that all followers of Christ are obliged to show today. We must imitate Jesus Christ in the way we treat those who are isolated and despised by our community today.

That is why I, as a Christian, treat ALL people with respect and dignity. If I were to imitate my community by treating anyone as worthless, I would not be a genuine Christian. In fact, I would be a hypocrite, living a lie. Anyone today who considers himself a Christian must treat ALL people as Jesus treated them.

I thought you may enjoy that bit of history. It contains a lesson worth considering, doesn’t it? Thank you for allowing me to share that with you. You have a great day.

I was on a bus, in suit and tie, coming home from the “Remain Close to Jehovah” convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses yesterday. One of my covert harassers (gang stalkers) sitting in the seat in front of me, began playing a song rather loudly on his cell phone. The lyrics of the song contained “trigger words” that have been used before by the stalkers. The bus driver stopped the bus, made an announcement that there is no radio playing on the bus and asked for it to be turned off. The request was ignored, At the next stop the bus driver repeats his request. The fellow playing the radio, (who could be perfectly typecast as a gang member in any movie) starts loudly cursing and berating the bus driver. However, he dropped a clue in his verbal tirade that blew his cover. “Don’t tell me to turn off my cellphone, just drive the bus.” You can’t tell me to turn of my phone. I got a job to do too. You do your job and I’ll do mine!” (Of course, I’ve cleaned up his language.) I was praying within myself that the bus driver would drop the issue because this harasser was really angry (vein bulging in the side of the neck angry!) and was quite likely to escalate the argument into an altercation if the bus driver pushed the issue. Thankfully, the bus driver was smart enough to stop talking to this man. I got off the bus at my stop, leaving the harasser behind.

This harasser-covert surveillance person was clearly someone with a violent past. However, he is not the first person of his type I have seen who revealed that this surveillance/harassment is a job for them. It appears that they are employed by some sort of “make-work” program (I believe that here in Newark it is colloquially termed Pest Control) that hires recently released criminals for the street-level psychological attacks and surveillance employed against victims like myself. This group, as one would expect, contains individuals whose violent tendencies lie just below the surface, and can be easily uncovered without much provocation. This is not the first time I’ve seen that violent streak flare up.

As I listened to this exchange on the bus, it brought to mind the stories I have read in the past about the Tonton Macoutes, a militia force used by Haitian Dictator “Papa Doc” Duvalier to violently repress opposition in Haiti. The Tonton were fashioned after the Fascist Blackshirts of Italy. The street level “gang-stalkers” I observe on a daily basis are also a “militia” in that they provide a form of psychological violence. At what point will they pass from surveillance and psychological attacks into physical brutality?

What a bizarre world we have become! One thing is for certain. We face an immediate future that will no doubt be more lawless and violent. The truth of the Bible’s statement that “. . . the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one . . .” (John 5:19) becomes more evident each passing day. However, it is my determination to follow the example of Jesus Christ, and to “love my enemies” and “pray for those persecuting me.” I make a daily effort to speak about the Bible’s hope for the future to all sorts of people, including those who participate in my harassment. Doing good to others is the best way for me to resist the corrosive effect my environment would otherwise have on my personality.

Addendum: To any of my “Brothers and Sisters” in the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses:

Jehovah is providing spiritual “food at the proper time” to meet our needs and concerns. I am sure you will find the publication released on the Saturday Program of the “Remain Close to Jehovah” Convention an extraordinary source of comfort and strength, helping us to cope with our distresses. Be sure to get your copy. I know you will be as deeply grateful for this evidence of Jehovah’s tender compassion for us as I have been.

Here is a news story on organized gang-stalking, harassment, break-in and rape that was reported by KENS-5 News in San Antonio, Texas. I will offer no opinion on this story. I simply invite you to view it and draw your own conclusions. You can read the online account of this news report on the KENS-5 San Antonio website.

Rather than add any commentary to this story, I will simply let it speak for itself. An American investigative journalist has uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA peppered local food in a French farming town with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a program of mind-control experimentation. The story, in the UK Telegraph of March 11, 2010 can be read here.
