One of the powerful lessons I have learned in facing constant psychological assaults (directed energy weapons torture and community policing based gang stalking - see My Story Begins), is the need to cultivate humility. It can help us to calmly endure hardships that would break the mightiest of men. A practical lesson in this regard was furnished by Jesus Christ on the last night of his life on earth.

Jesus knew that his disciples needed to cultivate specific qualities that would help them to work together and endure hardship. To that end, only hours before his death, he focused his energies on teaching them. One such lesson was taught by example when Jesus, although being their Teacher and Master, girded a towel and proceeded to wash the feet of each of his disciples. -John 13:3-5 This menial task was usually reserved for the lowliest servant in Jewish households of the day. However, by performing this humble act, Jesus wanted to stress by example that his disciples must willingly serve others, not “lord it over” people as was common among political leaders.

The Bible account indicates that Jesus washed the feet of all twelve of his disciples in attendance, including Judas Iscariot. Amazingly, Jesus was well aware that Judas was secretly plotting his murder! -John 13:2 Yet, he calmly washed his feet along with the others. We know that Jesus was a man of deep feelings. Can you imagine how being so close to the man who would betray him affected his emotions? How would you feel in this situation? Yet, Jesus calmly performed this humble act, without revealing what he knew to the other disciples, or allowing his emotions to get the better of him.

It is this singular act, washing the feet of a wicked betrayer that reveals to me the depth of humility found in Jesus. Why did he do it? A noble characteristic of humility is that it allows us to focus on the needs of others even as we face extreme hardship. Jesus felt that the lesson in humility he was teaching his beloved disciples, was more important than his personal feelings regarding Judas. With extraordinary humility, he washed the feet of all, including his betrayer, so that his disciples could be taught without distraction. He pushed aside his own feelings and interests to meet the needs of his disciples. He held his disciples in such high esteem, that he considered their needs more important than his own. -Phillipians 2:3,4 Do you see the lesson we can learn from this?

As victims of psychological attacks, we know that our persecutors are hoping that we will resort to extremes of anger or show terror. If you fly into a fit of rage or burst into tears and express hurt or fear, he is getting what he wants. (see Tips on Coping With Bullying). However, like Jesus, we can even be in close quarters with our persecutors and still maintain complete emotional control by cultivating humility.

One of the intended byproducts of psychological warfare is forcing the victim to become so focused on his own misery that he isolates himself from others emotionally. Such thinking makes one mentally unbalanced and prone to rash behavior. However, the beauty of humilty is that it helps us to remain focused on the interests of others in spite of our own adversities. We avoid becoming overwhelmed by our problems. Humbly serving the needs of others is one of the most emotionally healthy activities we can engage in. It is especially beneficial during times of personal crisis, as it works to protect emotional and mental health.

We can be certain that Jesus true disciples never forgot his extraordinary display of restraint and humility. It provided an appealing motivation for their own cultivation of this priceless quality. Can you see how cultivating humility in imitation of Jesus can help you?

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Viktor E. Frankl, Neurologist, Author and Holocaust survivor

An Additional Comment

There is another vital lesson that came to mind as I reflected on the example Jesus set in washing the feet of his betrayer, Judas. The truly kindhearted person can display kindness even toward the unappreciative.  Genuine kindness is not hypocritical, or merely a thin veneer of politeness and courtesy that quickly dissipates when others are rude.

I am intensely concerned that the daily barrage of rudeness that confronts me never darkens my heart. Writing this blog is a constant reminder that I must follow the advice I pass on to others! Far more than any physical or psychosomatic  harm my persecutors may cause, I worry about losing my humanity. Losing the ability to feel genuine love for my fellow man is the price I simply cannot pay. Reflecting on and sharing the positive lessons I learn through these writings helps me to hold on to that most precious of possessions—love of neighbor.

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

Whether done by ten-year-old children in a schoolyard, or by adults in organized campaigns of psychological attacks, bullying is bullying! I found an article that offered children tips on coping with bullys. However, they can apply just as well to adult victims of directed energy weapons torture and community policing based gang-stalking. The excerpt is posted below. I hope you find it useful!

Help for the Victims

Victims of bullying, particularly the young, face a difficult challenge—that of maintaining balance under pressure. When someone bullies you, he is probably eager to throw you off balance emotionally. He is hoping that you will resort to extremes of anger or show terror. If you fly into a fit of rage or burst into tears and express hurt or fear, the bully is getting what he wants. So he may try to provoke the same reaction again and again.

What can you do? Consider the following suggestions. They are written primarily with the young in mind, but the principles may also apply to adults dealing with bullies.

▪ Keep cool. Don’t give in to rage. The Bible wisely advises: “Let anger alone and leave rage.” (Psalm 37:8) When your temper is out of control, you give the bully power over you, and you are likely to do things you will only regret.—Proverbs 25:28.

▪ Try to put thoughts of revenge out of your mind. Vengeance often backfires. At any rate, revenge is not really satisfying. One girl, who was beaten up by five youths when she was 16 years old, recalls: “I decided in my heart, ‘I will get even with them.’ So I got some help from my friends and took revenge on two of my attackers.” The result? “I was left with an empty feeling,” she says. And her own conduct worsened afterward. Remember the Bible’s wise words: “Return evil for evil to no one.”—Romans 12:17.

▪ When things appear to be getting heated, get away quickly. The Bible says: “Before the quarrel has burst forth, take your leave.” (Proverbs 17:14) In general, try to steer clear of those who tend to bully. Says Proverbs 22:3: “Shrewd is the one that has seen the calamity and proceeds to conceal himself, but the inexperienced have passed along and must suffer the penalty.”

▪ If bullying persists, you may need to speak up for yourself. Choose a moment when you are calm, look the bully in the eye, and speak in a firm, level voice. Tell him that you don’t like what he is doing—that it is not funny and that it hurts. Do not resort to insults or challenges.—Proverbs 15:1.

▪ Talk to a responsible, caring adult about the bullying. Be specific about the problem, and ask for help in handling it. Do the same in your prayers to God, and this can be a wonderful source of help and comfort.—1 Thessalonians 5:17.

▪ Remember that you have value as a person. The bully might want you to think that you don’t matter, that you deserve to be treated badly. But he is not your judge. God is, and he looks for the good in each of us. It is the bully who becomes less worthwhile by resorting to such conduct.

In perhaps one of the least recent surprising scientific findings to any victim of organized bullying (such community policing based gang stalking), researchers have discovered that bullies brains are wired to feel pleasure when watching others being hurt. This came as a surprise to reseachers. They “expected that the bullies would show no response when they witnessed pain in somebody else—that they experience a sort of emotional coldness . . .” The research showed that they actually derived pleasure from the suffering of others.

As a long-term victim of directed energy weapons torture and community policing based gang-stalking, I can certainly attest to this through personal observation. Persecutors employed as “gang-stalkers” or harassers will often study a victim’s face hoping to see signs of pain or sadness. They often laugh or smirk as they go about the task of inflicting psychological suffering on others. They have learned to replace empathy with a perverse pleasure from the suffering of their victims.

Is it unreasonable to call this transformation in a bullies mind a perversion? Above all, it highlights the wisdom for a victim, of never returning “evil for evil” to anyone. To do so, perverts the natural empathy in the victim’s brain. His mindset becomes the virtual twin of his tormentor when he begins to find pleasure in vindictiveness and retaliation. Responding to evil with “good” is the best response, protecting the brain from developing an unhealthy thirst for voyeuristic pain.

“Return evil for evil to no one. Provide fine things in the sight of all men. If possible, as far as it depends upon YOU, be peaceable with all men.” - Roman 12: 17-18

One of the most amazing displays of physical control was furnished by Charles Blondin in the latter half of the 19th century. He crossed Niagara Falls a number of times, first in 1859, on a tightrope 1,100 feet long and 160 feet above the water. After that, he did so each time with a different display of his ability: blindfolded, in a sack, trundling a wheelbarrow, on stilts, and carrying a man on his back. To maintain such balance required extremely great physical self-control. Due to the achievements his superb physical control made possible, Blondin was rewarded with both fame and fortune.

As any victim of government sponsored directed energy weapons torture and psychological attacks (including community policing based “gang-stalking”) is well aware, one of the greatest challenges we face is maintaining self control. The daily barrage of humiliating actions we undergo are designed to provoke us, luring us into self-destructive behavior. However, like a skilled tightrope walker, we must cultivate self-control. Indeed, our very survival is dependent on staying in firm control of our emotions and actions. That can be a challenge, as the desire to retaliate in some way may at times seem overpowering. To counter such ill-advised thinking, we may need to adjust our attitude and view self-control as the superior response, a facet of our true inner strength.

Sadly, popular entertainment glorifies the “hero” that answers all provocation and ill treatment with an outburst of violence, vanquishing his enemies as the admiring audience cheers him on. Unlike movie violence, real-life retaliation often carries severe, life changing penalties and losses. The person who keeps himself under control is better equipped to make decisions that are in his best long-term interests. Those who lose control of their emotions, giving in to anger, often live to regret the outcome of their actions.

Do you see self-control as your strength? Not merely control of your actions. This includes controlling your emotions as well. Unless we highly value the ability to rein in our emotions, we will develop grudges and bitterness which lead to outbursts of anger. We will also damage our health, and healthy relationships, compounding the effects of the psychological attacks we undergo.

“By over-responding to conflict and not trusting others, hostile people might also be at risk because they don’t benefit physiologically from their social relationships; People most prone to anger were almost three times more likely to have a heart attack than those with low anger in a recent study of 12,986 participants…” - Angry Thoughts, At-Risk Hearts, Monitor on Psychology (American Psychological Association)

In view of the foregoing, it is vital that we divest ourselves of the perverse admiration of “good guy” violence and retaliation often seen in movies, and see the tremendous benefits that developing self-control can bring us. Such self-control is a measure of true masculinity and emotional maturity, that will contribute to greater success in all facets of life.

For a skilled tightrope walker like Charles Blondin, a loss of self-control while performing could have meant great physical harm or even death. Is it really any different for us as victims of psychological warfare? When we highly value and cultivate self-control, we protect our health, and may well preserve our lives. Therefore, view self-control as your strength!

“He that is slow to anger is better than a mighty man - Proverbs 16:32

It is clear that the efforts of the Federal Agencies involved in testing directed energy weapons on me (along with community policing support through “gang-stalking”) are becoming desperate. They have gone to extraordinary efforts to infiltrate and poison every facet of my life, including my place of worship. They have greatly intensified the use of through-the-wall, remote acoustic and microwave based weapons in the late evenings while I sleep. These weapons may well be causing internal trauma along with the daily concussion-like symptoms I undergo. It is likely that these unrelenting attacks will finally compromise my health and cause my death.

I have no fear of my persecutors. Indeed, for over eleven years I have not run, hid or cowered in the face of unrelenting cruelty. I am not ashamed. To their utter disbelief, I have remained calm, resolute and uncompromised. This ongoing injustice may well cost my life. I consider death preferable to being seduced by evil. My antagonists have tortured, taunted, isolated, pressured, humiliated, and slandered me in an effort to provoke bitterness and retaliation. I have not, and will not step outside of the law, nor take the law into my own hands to obtain relief. In spite of over ten years of suffering they cannot charge me with a single act of violence either in word or deed. All violence committed has been by their own hands. Indeed, they are drenched in violence. For this, I am not ashamed.

Above all else, I deeply appreciate the Bible-based education that my parents saw fit to instill in me from youth. I have never forsaken it, and it has, and will continue to serve me admirably through this ordeal. For this, I am not ashamed. Perhaps most importantly, I know that God himself hears the cries of his servants. Ultimately, he will administer justice. With this comfort and assurance, I will never have reason to be ashamed.

“Return evil for evil to no one. Provide fine things in the sight of all men. If possible, as far as it depends upon YOU, be peaceable with all men. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says Jehovah.”—Romans 12:17-19

I witnessed something today that provides a glimpse into the often sad human drama concealed behind the use of community policing groups for “gang-stalking” in support of Federal covert testing of directed energy weapons on American citizens.

As is often my custom, I was at a local car wash on Central Avenue (Phoenix, AZ) this morning, washing my vehicle. The Federal agencies that provide covert surveillance always insure that local community policing group members participate in surveillance and psychological harassment when I am at this location. As usual, two of the vehicles near me were being washed by such individuals. I found one of them particularly interesting. She was of Hispanic origin, perhaps in her late-30’s. As she washed her car, I noticed welts and bruises on her thighs barely concealed by her shorts. Because of her light skin, these dark bruises were particularly noticeable. I then took careful note of her face. Her complexion was a map of small healed bruises and scrapes. While I am no expert in such matters, what I saw strongly suggested evidence of domestic violence.

That got me thinking. What if her abusive husband or boyfriend was also a member of the community policing groups participating in “gang-stalking?” Would the covert agencies sponsoring these groups shield him from any criminal prosecution because of his role in covert community policing activities? The military and law enforcement are both notoriously sexist domains where scandals of sexual abuse and harassment are all too common. I can easily imagine this woman being powerless and unprotected in such a “macho” culture.

This brought back to mind a “family” that lived in the apartment below mine in Albuquerque, New Mexico two years ago. They were used in the pattern of “gang stalking” and psychological attacks for the time I lived in that development. What a sad collection of individuals! The children in the “family” ranging in age from about seven to fifteen years old, would routinely be loitering on the complex grounds when most children were in school. They were often outdoors as late as 11 or 12 at night without any meaningful parental supervision. Clearly, their “parents” had little genuine interest in them. The “mother” in this group had a barely disguised alcohol problem that was visibly eating away her health. One night, after the scent of marijuana wafted into my bedroom window at about 2:00 in the morning, I came downstairs to discover one of the children, about 13 years old smoking “pot” with an adult I had not seen before. In truth, nothing they have done to me is nearly as bad as what they are doing to the minds of these impressionable youths. That is truly repugnant.

The seeming social instability of so many of the individuals used in these abusive programs never ceases to amaze me. What are their stories? I feel sorry for many of them. In some ways, they too are victims. I am convinced that the same system that is targeting me for harassment has little respect for the common folks used as little more than human “body armor” in their covert routines.

“Man has dominated man to his injury.”-Ecclesiates 8:9

Perhaps the most practical examples of coping with the oppression that comes with government sponsored directed-energy-weapons torture and community policing support through gang stalking, can be found in the Nazi concentration camps and Stasi prisons. I want to highlight the marked contrast in the lives of two victims. The first, Josef Kneifel, a political prisoner of the Stasi secret police in West Germany. The second, Viktor E. Frankl, a concentration camp inmate under the Nazi regime. The contrast in their responses to oppression and the resultant outcome gives insight into how we can best respond to long-term injustice.

Let’s first consider Josef Kneifel. Josef was arrested by the Stasi (the East German secret police) for his role in efforts to destabilize the oppressive regime in East Germany. As a particularly hated political prisoner, he was subject to torture, isolation, and a constant barrage of dehumanizing treatment. The Stasi also arrested his wife although she knew nothing of his crimes and tried to convince her to divorce him. She was offered immediate release if she did so, but she refused.

Kneifel suffered emotionally and physically while incarcerated. The book Stasi, by John O Koehler, describes Kneifel’s response during his imprisonment. Full of pent up anger against the regime, he looked for every opportunity to vent his feelings. He would think of ways to “mock the regime and prison officials. Using the jagged end of a broken plastic spoon, he cut veins in his legs and collected blood in a plastic cup.” With his own blood, he painted caricatures on the whitewashed cell walls, ridiculing Stasi warders and communism. He would draw blood and pour it into the lock of his cell door. When a warder opened his cell door, Kneifel sprayed him with blood he had collected in a metal bowl. His unrelenting anger contributed to the rapid decline of his health. When Kneifel was released, he was prescribed a regimen of kidney dialysis. His health ruined, he never recovered.

A profound contrast is found in the life of Viktor E. Frankl. Of Jewish heritage, he served as a psychiatrist in government clinics and hospitals in Vienna during the 1920-30’s. However, in 1942, along with his wife and parents, he was sentenced to hard labor in Theresienstadt concentration camp. “Though assigned to ordinary labor details until the last few weeks of the war, Frankl tried to cure fellow prisoners from despondency and prevent suicide.” Since it was forbidden to actively intervene in a suicide attempt, such activity had to be both preventative and clandestine. He secretly worked with inmates after long days spent in manual labor. His wife and parents died in the concentration camps. Frankl acknowledges that his spirituality and selfless efforts to help others protected his own mental health and allowed him to quickly adjust when released from the camp at the end of the war. In the post war years Frankl published more than 32 books including the highly regarded Man’s Search for Meaning. He served as a professor of neurology and psychiatry.

Here are two individuals who suffered great injustices at the hands of their governments. One gives in to bitterness and self-destructive anger, destroying his own health in the process. The other uses his limited resources to help fellow inmates at the risk of his own life. Both suffered great loss. Who made the better choice in responding to injustice? How did the choice each made affect their long-term mental and physical health?

These two examples provide a powerful encouragement for modern day victims of long-term injustice: Choose your attitude and response wisely! “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

“Power is a poison well known for thousands of years. If only no one were ever to acquire material power over others! But to the human being who has faith in some faith that holds dominion over all of us, and who is therefore conscious of his own limitations, power is not necessarily fatal. For those, however, who are unaware of any higher sphere, it is a deadly poison. For them there is no antidote.” —The Gulag Archipelago

That quote, by the Nobel Prize winning author Alexander Solzhenitsyn struck a chord with me. I have endured, to date, over eleven years of torture with involuntary directed energy weapons testing and related psychological attacks by covert Federal agencies and local community policing groups. Through personal observation, I concur with Solzhenitsyn. Of all the resources that have been placed in the charge of man, none has been so mishandled and abused as power. “Man has dominated man to his injury.” —Ecclesiastes 8:9

When one is made a victim of power abused, the desire to retaliate can become quite seductive. However, I often call to mind one of the primary reasons for avoiding a vindictive spirit. It comes from the faith the “holds dominion” over me. Only the merciful can receive mercy from God. “For the one that does not practice mercy will have his judgment without mercy.”—James. 2:13. If I were to imitate the cruel, merciless spirit of my antagonists, it would put me at odds with God himself. As God’s Word clearly states, those who treat others without mercy, do not receive mercy from God. Where would I be without God’s merciful help? His strength has sustained me through all my trials. I must continue to treat others kindly if I am to receive mercy from God.

Among my persecutors are those who willfully commit cruel acts, deriving pleasure from denigrating others. It may be well for them to think of how God views their unmerciful spirit. One day, they may find themselves in great distress. Perhaps it may be a life threatening illness, or the death of a loved one. For the first time, they experience a measure of the pain they have wreaked on the lives of their victims. As most of us do, they cry out to God for help. Will their record of unmerciful acts cause God to keep silent? How sad it would be to lose God’s mercy!

“The United States government did something that was wrong — deeply, profoundly, morally wrong. It was an outrage to our commitment to integrity and equality for all our citizens . . . clearly racist.” - President Clinton’s apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment to the eight remaining survivors, May 16, 1997

For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die.”

President Clinton, further commenting on the hubris of science gone wrong in the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, stated that “We must never go back to those awful days in modern disguise.”² Do you agree? What if you learned that the degenerative, premature death of your husband or brother was due to the deliberate, long-term denial of medical services by the same government agency? How would it affect you?

Hubris is an exaggerated sense of self-esteem; the distorted belief in ones own superiority (or that of ones’ group, race or class). However, the degree of arrogance that hubris describes makes one capable of cruelty against those viewed as inferior. It was clearly evident in the twentieth century genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda, the Holocaust in Germany, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment in the United States. I found the Tuskegee Experiment a particularly compelling example of hubris with a number of parallels to incidents of directed energy weapons torture and psychological abuse by covert federal agencies and local community policing groups.

1. We see evidence that an entire government agency can be characterized by hubris that leads to human rights abuses.

“Who could imagine the government, all the way up to the Surgeon General of the United States, deliberately allowing a group of its citizens to die from a terrible disease for the sake of an ill-conceived experiment?“ ⁴ asks Borgna Brunner of the Tuskegee Institute. “By the end of the experiment, 28 of the men had died directly of syphilis, 100 were dead of related complications, 40 of their wives had been infected, and 19 of their children had been born with congenital syphilis.”

The U.S. Public Health Service (now known as the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services) as an organization supported the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. The Surgeon General of the United States participated in enticing the men to remain in the experiment, sending them certificates of appreciation after 25 years in the study. Keeping the experiment going for forty years required a well coordinated effort of deceit and manipulation by doctors, nurses, and health officials. “One of the most chilling aspects of the experiment was how zealously the PHS kept these men from receiving treatment. When several nationwide campaigns to eradicate venereal disease came to Macon County, the men were prevented from participating. Even when penicillin —the first real cure for syphilis— was discovered in the 1940s, the Tuskegee men were deliberately denied the medication.” ⁴

When a whistle-blower brought the story to public attention, the PHS remained unrepentant. An Alabama state health officer who had been involved claimed “somebody is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.” “The PHS did not accept the media’s comparison of Tuskegee with the appalling experiments performed by Nazi doctors on their Jewish victims during World War II. Yet, in addition to the medical and racist parallels, the PHS offered the same morally bankrupt defense offered at the Nuremberg trials: they claimed they were just carrying out orders, mere cogs in the wheel of the PHS bureaucracy, exempt from personal responsibility.”

I see similar patterns in the abuses I have endured. This pattern of abuse cannot be carried out successfully without training, support, coordination and financing provided at an organizational level. It requires the coordination of several agencies, at the Federal and local level. This strongly suggests a wider campaign of abuses, I am only one of many victims. And, as with the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, there is a clear element of medical experimentation in the use of covert technologies. Additionally, the abuses are carried out in a way that denies the victim the ability to seek legal recourse.

A person (or organization) infected with hubris enjoys the denigration of others.He enjoys hurting someone in a cold, impersonal way and then gloats over the other person’s discomfort and ignominy. This is a noteworthy characteristic of many individuals who play a role in my abuse. I discern that the process of abuse provides them more satisfaction than any eventual goal the abuse is intended to reach.

2. Anyone Can be Induced by Hubris To Become A Human Rights Abuser.

It is too simplistic to explain The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment as a case of extreme white racism. “The experiment’s name comes from the Tuskegee Institute, the black university founded by Booker T. Washington. Its affiliated hospital lent the PHS its medical facilities for the study, and other predominantly black institutions as well as local black doctors also participated. A black nurse, Eunice Rivers, was a central figure in the experiment for most of its forty years.” ⁴ What induced these Black Americans, with the horrors of segregation and Jim Crow still a part of their life experience, to join in this crime against other Black Americans? What motivated Black educational institutions to become part of this crime? It was hubris. “The promise of recognition by a prestigious government agency may have obscured the troubling aspects of the study for some. A (Black American) Tuskegee doctor, for example, praised “the educational advantages offered our interns and nurses as well as the added standing it will give the hospital.” Nurse Rivers explained her role as one of passive obedience: “we were taught that we never diagnosed, we never prescribed; we followed the doctor’s instructions!” ⁴

Clearly, the Black doctors and nurses were seduced by the enhanced status and careers they would enjoy by participating in the Tuskegee Experiment. Gaining the praise and recognition of a prestigious government agency was part of the seduction. They too, felt superior to the common Black sharecroppers whose lives they condemned to a torturous death. It was not difficult for their feelings of superiority to attain the level of hubris: “mingled pride and cruelty . . . the arrogant contempt which makes [a man] trample on the hearts of his fellow men.” ²

Hubris perverts justice, cripples sound judgment, and weakens strength of character. From weakened character rises the remorseless intellect. This intellect gives license to barbaric abuses that insult all humanity. President Clinton, further commenting on the Tuskegee Experiment, stated that “the people who ran the study at Tuskegee diminished the stature of man by abandoning the most basic ethical precepts.” Indeed, we derogate all men by the continued acts of hubris in the form of directed energy weapons and psychological torture.

Do Not Envy the Remorseless

Some may be inclined to admire those who possess the authority and willingness to cruelly manipulate and control the lives of others. Do not envy them. They pay a high price for their excesses. Much like a man whose loses the ability to taste food, the remorseless become dulled as to what makes life most meaningful and satisfying. It is our striving to love and work for the better good of fellowmen that gives life meaning and purpose. When stripped of that capacity, life becomes tasteless, flat, joyless, and a meaningless quest for selfish pursuits. Eventually, the remorseless infect their family, friendships, and all social interactions with their merciless spirit. They begin to view everyone as exploitable, expendable, and cheap. I strongly suspect (based upon a decade of observing such individuals) that the dysfunctional results of remorselessness manifests itself in higher rates of divorce, mental illness, depression, suicide, alcohol and substance abuse. Do not envy them. Sooner or later, they will “reap what they sow.”

“Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap . . .”—Galations 6:7

Is there a connection? Or, is it merely a coincidence? As the pattern of directed energy weapons torture and community policing based gang-stalking takes on national proportions, so does another phenomenon: Hollywood’s releasing of a torrent of comic-book based “superhero” movies. What connection can there be between these two trends?

First, lets look at what these two trends hold in common; they both glorify vigilante violence. Gang-stalking, as practiced by community policing groups, is a form of state-sponsored vigilantism designed to isolate and destroy individuals targeted as victims by covert government agencies. What does this have in common with every comic-book superhero ever created? “The implied policy message in comic books is one of vigilantism, in which moral justice trumps legitimate criminal procedure.” —Cultural criminology and kryptonite: Apocalyptic and retributive constructions of crime and justice in comic books. This book (source of the aforementioned quote), written by two leading criminology experts from St. Francis College, and John Jay College of Criminal Justice (USA), explores the concept of vigilante justice and retribution by comic book heroes.

Comic books and community policing based psychological terror campaigns have the same core theme: Vigilante justice is the preferred way to restore the role of law in a community. However, the irony of real-world gang-stalking is that it is being developed as a tool of covert federal agencies. In this, we also see a precedent in comic books. Isn’t it true that comic books have long promoted the clandestine relationship between government and the “bad boy violence” of superheros? That is, as long as superhero violence benefits those in power.

Is it merely a coincidence that a barrage of superhero movies are being released concurrently with numerous complaints of injustice stemming from covert agency sponsored psychological terror campaigns supported by community policing groups? USA Today, in the article “Hollywood, Pentagon Share Rich Past“ (3/07/05) states: “The FBI created its entertainment office in the 1930s, around the time James Cagney played a fearless FBI agent in the 1935 movie ‘G’ Men. The agency “realized a lot of people were getting their information from popular culture” and wanted to ensure agents were portrayed accurately. . .” The article further notes that the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and the CIA all have Hollywood liaison offices. These offices exist to promote movies that provide a favorable view of the respective government agencies and their agendas. Can Hollywood be used to subtly promote a favorable view of government-sponsored covert extralegal vigilantism occurring in our communities?

I have often observed a fondness for the iconographic symbols of superheros by many individuals who engage in gang-stalking in my community. Often, the younger participants will have their vehicles emblazoned with the logos of Batman, Superman and other comic book characters. In fact, one participant would often wear a superman t-shirt under his postal uniform. Another, in Newark, NJ, had his vehicle customized to resemble the Batmobile.

How may the seemingly endless string of comic book based movies benefit government agencies developing national psychological (psyops) operations that include directed energy weapons and community policing based gang-stalking? Well, think of the appeal in the opportunity to be a “superhero” in the local community, supporting the “good guys” by operating outside the law with their covert protection and approval? Modern movies can exert a powerful influence the thinking and attitudes of the common man in this regard.

I would be remiss if i did not mention one departure from the classic model of superhero violence in my experience. In comic books, the hero usually wreaks his violence upon a conscious victim. Not so with directed energy weapons used by covert Federal agencies. With remote technology employed from a nearby apartment or home, the “hero” beats his victim even as he sleeps; using the silent blunt force of infrasound through-the-wall weapons, and the nerve damaging effects of targeted microwaves.

Again, I ask. Is there a connection? The warped justice of comic books is coming to our communities in the form of federally sponsored psyops (psychological operations). These operations trample true justice by targeting and terrorizing individuals without due process of law. Many victims are being used as involuntary test subjects for cruel new technologies. Others may be whistle-blowers or targets of vendettas. The innocent are being abused. Whether the connection to superhero propaganda is intentional or coincidental, there is no question that we are on the threshold of a cruel new age of real-world comic book violence.

Practical Considerations and Modern Trends

Are the constant stream of superhero movies that glorify vigilante justice for the “greater good” a form of propaganda preparing the nation for martial law and the suspension of constitutional rights? Serious students of current events are aware of the enormous powers granted the President and Federal agencies such as FEMA during a catastrophic national event. As an insightful article by the Air Force Law Review (The Imposition of Martial Law, Spring, 2000) indicates, the military would play a dominant role in civilian affairs that citizens may resist. The challenge is to suppress any “traditional prejudice against military involvement in civil affairs.” In a speech by Congressman Jim McDermott before the House of Representatives on Martial Law Concerns, he stated that “FEMA has practiced” for the possibility of martial law and large scale internment camps in the United States.

It may well be that the harassment that innocent victims of directed energy weapons and community policing “gang-stalking” are experiencing are federally sponsored covert training routines for this murky scenario. We may be the early victims in a paradigm shift in the way our government treats its citizens. In my experience, after more than ten years of such persecution, this has little to do with traditional law enforcement. The military origins of these routines become more obvious with time. Something is “brewing.” I cannot say for certain what the true motives behind these attacks are. However, what I am certain of is my response. I will uphold superior Godly principles in my dealings with my fellowman and refuse to be swept into the cesspool of intrigue and violence that surrounds me.

“The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate with God, neither does he who does not love his brother. For this is the message which YOU have heard from [the] beginning, that we should have love for one another; not like Cain, who originated with the wicked one and slaughtered his brother. And for the sake of what did he slaughter him? Because his own works were wicked, but those of his brother [were] righteous.” - 1 John 3:10-12
