UK researchers have found that psychological torture — such as threats of rape, humiliation, isolation, sleep deprivation, sham executions, sexual advances, and witnessing the torture of others — can inflict as much trauma and harm as physical torture.

“The unpredictability and loss of control created by mental torture can produce similar levels of anxiety, fear and helplessness as physical torture and leave comparable long-term psychological scars.” — Rick Nauert, Ph.D, Psych Central

Victims of directed energy weapons harassment and psychological attacks that include gang stalking would not doubt agree with the findings of this study. The attacks often include isolation, sleep deprivation, humiliation, and other hallmarks of psychological torture. No doubt, the fact that such harm can be inflicted without leaving any physical scars or trauma is what makes it so attractive to the covert agencies developing these psychological weapons.

The issue of directed energy weapons torture and psychological attacks that include “gang stalking” raises an important personal question. If an authority figure you respected asked you to torture a fellow human (albeit physical or psychological torment) would you do so? A recent university study tackled that question and found troubling results:

“Replicating one of the most controversial behavioral experiments in history, a Santa Clara University psychologist has found that people will follow orders from an authority figure to administer what they believe are painful electric shocks.

More than two-thirds of volunteers in the research study had to be stopped from administering 150 volt shocks of electricity, despite hearing a person’s cries of pain, professor Jerry M. Burger concluded in a study published in the January issue of the journal American Psychologist.

“In a dramatic way, it illustrates that under certain circumstances people will act in very surprising and disturbing ways,” said Burger. - MercuryNews.com

“The study, using paid volunteers from the South Bay, is similar to the famous 1974 “obedience study” by the late Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram. In the wake of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann’s trial, Milgram was troubled by the willingness of people to obey authorities — even if it conflicted with their own conscience.”

What this study failed to explore thoroughly are the principles motivating the minority to refuse participation in torture sanctioned by a human authority. We know that the majority often allows others to think for them — that’s fully evident in other facets of life. But what about the principled minority who do not compromise? Those who refuse to go along with actions that violate their conscience are truly exemplary and worthy of imitation. What makes that minority different from the compliant majority? In this regard, an account recorded in the Bible centuries ago reveals an insight worthy of consideration.

When judges in the Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish court in Jesus day, ordered a small group of Jewish followers of Christ to stop preaching regarding Jesus on the threat of imprisonment and flogging, they responded with the words, “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—ACTS 5:29

In other words, they considered God’s authority higher than that of any human agency. When a conflict with human law existed, they choose obedience to God’s law even if it placed their own lives in peril. As a result of that stand, that small group suffered hatred, mockery and intense persecution. Consider this: Would that small group of faithful followers of Christ torture others if they were ordered to do so by the same high-ranking judges? Would they obey God or men? What do you think?

Obedience to God can exert a powerful and enduring restraint from participation in the abuses of corrupt human authority. It can also become the foundation for an uncompromised integrity when adherence to right principles results in persecution.

“You must love your neighbor as yourself.” — Matthew 22:39

There is a new tool added to the arsenal of weapons used against me. It appears that some form of chemical pollutant taints the air in my apartment on a nightly basis, (usually starting around midnight) that causes severe coughing fits (I reside in an apartment complex near Esteban Park in Phoenix, AZ). This seems to be made possible by my persecutors isolating the apartments that surround mine. In addition, there appear to be few genuine tenants in this apartment complex who are not supporting the Neighborhood Block Watch sponsored “gang stalking” routines in some way.

I was first exposed to these chemicals about a month ago. They appeared to be coming from the dryer exhaust vent of the apartment next to mine. However, the fumes were so strong that I began to cough violently as a result of the irritation. That apartment, although appearing to be occupied, is usually vacant in the evenings. It may well be that my failure to react in a self-destructive way to gang-stalking routines and directed energy weapons torture has prompted the addition of this new tactic.

I never cease to be amazed by the level of hatred that fuels these long-term psychological attacks. In fact, the greater the effort I make to be a reasonable, caring, law-abiding neighbor, the more desperate they become. They are eager to capitalize on any mistake or failing, no matter how small, and take a fiendish delight in cruelty. Here in Phoenix, (Arizona) gang-stalking by neighborhood watch groups is a true growth industry. Nothing seems to unite people of diverse backgrounds more than the opportunity to express hatred for a perceived enemy.

What I observe in my neighbors, reminds me of the community culture in the ancient city of Ninevah, capital of the Assyrian Empire. That city was not only known for its abnormal cruelty, it even boasted of it in song and art.

Here are some Assyrian quotes translated from the many monuments and reliefs they erected in Ninevah celebrating their cruel treatment of captives:

• “I cut off their heads and formed them into pillars”
• “Bubo, son of Buba, I flayed in the city of Arbela and I spread his skin upon the city wall”
• “I flayed all the chief men who had revolted, and I covered the pillar with their skins”
• “Many within the border of my own land I flayed, and spread their skins upon the walls”
• “Their corpses I formed into pillars”
• “From son I cut off their hands and their fingers, and from other I cut off their noses, their ears, and their fingers, of many I put out their eyes”
• “I made one pillar of the living, and another of heads, I bound their heads to posts round about the city”

Sounds like something out of a horror movie does it not? Yet, this perverse cruelty was the entertainment of ancient Ninevah’s citizens. Violence was an appetite cultivated from childhood in their families and communities. Are we as a modern culture so far removed from ancient Ninevah? Our culture is saturated in violence through entertainment and sports. The vicious mindset that government sponsored directed energy weapons torture and “gang stalking” attracts and cultivates brings an even more insidious danger. It allows its participants to engage in ritual torture while remaining anonymous and without accountability. Abuses occur behind a veneer of respectability. And, like most modern conveniences, it demands little physical effort of its participants. Covert new technologies make remote torture of random citizens as easy as typing on a keypad or connecting with a mob by cellphone.

No doubt, cruel ancient Ninevah would admire our macabre thinking while envying our modern ingenuity . . .

Illustration at beginning of article: This relief represents part of a scene from a marble slab discovered at Khorsabad (Ninevah). The Assyrian king is using a spear to blind one of his many prisoners. In his left hand he holds a cord with a hook attached at the opposite end which are inserted into the prisoners lips. The Assyrians would thrust the point of a dagger or spear into the eye.

“The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.”—PSALM 19:1.

I often use my free time to get out in nature. In fact, landscape photography, photographing the beauty of creation, is one of my favorite pastimes (the scene above is from Papago Park, Phoenix, Arizona). It provides me a refreshing break from the constant stalking and psychological attacks I undergo. It also reminds me that all that man does to beat his chest, declare his own importance, and oppress his fellowman, must be put in context. Arrogant man cannot even create a beautiful sunset. Even if he could, he would probably find a way to extort wealth from others by charging to view it. Yet, our Creator lovingly and freely provides delightful reminders of his care for us in the beauty of the natural world around us. What majesty and power and love it declares! Our planet generates enough resources to meet the needs of all of its’ poor. Sadly, mans’ greed prevents those resources from being allocated fairly. However, unlike man, who is prone to corruption, selfishness, and is often untrustworthy, our Creator demonstrates unerring genuine love and reliability in the way he sustains the human family, day after day, generation after generation.

Even common seawater reflects our loving Creator’s wisdom and concern for the human family. Says Scientific American: “Every drop of water in the top 100 meters of the ocean contains thousands of free-floating, microscopic flora called phytoplankton.” This “invisible forest” cleans our air by drawing out billions of tons of carbon dioxide. Phytoplankton generates more than half of the oxygen we breathe. Although man, through greed, is bent on destroying our environment, God has built in the needed capability for the earth to cleanse itself if only selfish and wicked men were removed from our planet, our home. This teaches me that God still cares for us, he wants the human family to survive and enjoy life, and, that he will never allow man’s sad state to become so bad that our very existence is imperiled .

Will our Creator remove the wicked elements of this world that are oppressing others and making our planet an unhealthy place to live, both physically and emotionally? My confidence is in the promise our Creator makes in his Word, the Bible:

“For the LORD loves justice, And does not forsake His godly ones; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. The righteous will inherit the land, And dwell in it forever.” - PSALM 37:28,29 - New American Standard Bible

A young girl who was writing a paper for school came to her father and asked, “Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?” The father replied, “It’s mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean.”

With that the father went to the telephone and dialed a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, “Hello, is Melvin there?” The man answered, “There is no one living here named Melvin. Why don`t you learn to look up numbers before you dial?”. “See,” said the father to his daughter. “That man was not a bit happy with our call. He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him. Now watch….”

The father dialed the number again. “Hello, is Melvin there?” asked the father. “Now look here!” came the heated reply. “You just called this number and I told you that there is no Melvin here! You’ve got lot of nerve calling again!” The receiver slammed down hard. The father turned to his daughter and said, “You see, that was anger. Now I’ll show you what exasperation means.”

He dialed the same number, and when a violent voice roared, “Hello!” The father calmly said, “Hello, this is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me?”

Do you appreciate the value of humor in coping with difficult situations? The Encyclopædia Britannica says concerning laughter: “One might call it a luxury reflex. Its only function seems to be to provide relief from tension. . . . The explosive exhalations of laughter seem designed to ‘puff away’ surplus tension in a kind of respiratory gymnastics.” Imagine that! Instant relief from tension! Think of the practical benefits this can bring victims of directed energy weapons harassment and psychological attacks.

Humor can brighten up even an apparently hopeless situation. Readers Digest of May 1973 relates the experience of psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl, who was imprisoned in a German concentration camp during World War II:

“Piled on top of malnutrition, exhaustion and disease, suicidal despair was the big killer in these citadels of degradation.”

“As a psychiatrist, Frankl knew that humor was one of the soul’s best survival weapons, since it can create, if only for moments, aloofness from horror. Therefore, Frankl made a rule that once each day he and his friend must invent and tell an amusing anecdote, specifically about something which could happen after their liberation.” As Frankl observed in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, “Humor was another of the soul’s weapons in the fight for self-preservation.”

Doing this helped to make Frankl’s torturous experience of life in a concentration camp more endurable. The Reader’s Digest article concluded with a question worthy of our contemplation: “If humor can be used successfully against such odds, what can’t you and I do with it in daily life?”

An article by this title appeared in the New Scientist magazine, discussing one company’s readiness to build microwave ray guns able to beam sounds directly into people’s heads. The capabilities of this technology parallel the torture-like effects experienced by victims of directed energy weapons. The device, dubbed MEDUSA uses beamed microwaves to cause a “shockwave inside the skull that can be detected by the ears.”

Does the refinement of this technology add validity to the numerous claims of individuals being used involuntary as test subjects for microwave beam weapons? Such technology cannot be refined to the point of manufacture without extensive testing on human subjects of various ages and physical makeup. Do you know of anyone whose job description includes being a test dummy for beamed microwaves that create a “shockwave inside the skull?”  Is there a reasonable likelihood that isolated American citizens are being used involuntarily to develop both the capability and methodology used in operating these weapons. Who are they testing it on?
