“No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In particular, no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation” —Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The recent complaints of directed energy weapons torture and covert psychological attacks coming from numerous American citizens may be a byproduct of what is considered the hottest new market in weapons development: ” . . . namely the military and intelligence communities’ interest in drugs and other methods for degrading (mental) performance—of enemy soldiers and terrorists, of course—and perhaps reading their intentions and even controlling their minds.” —Minding Mental Minefields, scienceprogress.org. What ‘weapons systems” and methods are being developed for this new market?

The development of biochemical weapons and psychological methods of targeting the human mind are discussed in a quietly released 151 page National Research Report “Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies” commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency, USA (full text of this report is available online). Scienceprogress.org commented on the report’s disclosure of “the emerging market in brain-targeted, performance-degrading techniques. Some experiments, it turns out, suggest that magnetic beams can be used to induce seizures in people, a tempting addition to the military’s armamentarium. More conventionally, as scientists discover new chemicals that can blur thinking or undermine an enemy’s willpower, and as engineers design aerosolized delivery systems that can deliver these chemicals directly to the lungs (and from there, the brains) of large groups of people, the prospect of influencing the behavior of entire enemy regiments becomes real.”

This report further indicates that the “applied research  . . . could be exploited for legal and forensic, military and police/public safety, and information and intelligence purposes.” — Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies. In other words, the weaponized capacity  to “blur thinking,” “undermine willpower,” and “degrade performance” goes beyond military application. It will also be applied to local law enforcement and “public safety.”

Who are the test subjects for these developing programs of psychological warfare designed to “degrade” and “influence the behavior” of people? Our government has recently admitted to well over 10,000 incidents of involuntary medical and radiation experimentation on American citizens during the 20th century. Is it not logical to conclude that this emerging class of weapons systems and “techniques” targeting the human brain is also being tested involuntarily on numerous American citizens?

What Happens To Victims of Involuntary Brain Targeting Medical Experimentation?

Interestingly, this National Research Report comments rather bluntly on their plight: “Covert or classified military research findings will probably not be submitted for publication in the international literature, so they will escape the attention of publishers and peer reviewers. Thus, human-subjects protection in this sector of biomedical research cannot be guaranteed or assessed.” —Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies, page 185. In other words, American citizens made victims of involuntary experimentation in this field will most likely be kept anonymous and stripped of all rights and protections under law.

How would you feel if your son or daughter became a covert victim of these programs? At the very least, can you better understand the plight of those covertly and willfully tortured by the same military, police and public safety agencies that should protect them?

Finally, I ask you the reader: Does this not give credence to the numerous complaints around the country from individuals who claim to be involuntary subjects of these developing weapons systems and methods? Victims complain of being covertly targeted by microwave and acoustic based beam weapons, sustained psychological attacks that include “gang stalking,” and noxious odors and fumes from aerosolized delivery systems. Their livelihoods, reputation and health are willfully and systematically destroyed in the process. They are isolated, and stripped of all rights and protections . . .

Have we finally found “the smoking gun” behind these covert crimes?

Gangstalking, and other forms of psychological attacks are, at their very core, a form of adversity. Therefore, like any adversity we may undergo, they ruthlessly reveal our emotional weaknesses. That is not necessarily a bad thing. That same adversity now offers us the opportunity to cultivate and strengthen emotional virtues that equip us to successfully face this and future challenges. The childish traits that cause us to react poorly can be replaced with a powerful and enduring strength-of-character. Today, was for me, a time to “put away childish things” . . . Let me explain.

I was in Papago Park, a scrub brush, sand and rock-filled desert preserve near my home in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. I often use this setting for improving my compositional skills as a photographer. As is my custom, I was in Papago Park today to capture some of the warm late-afternoon winter light that makes for great photos. Of course, the “gang-stalkers” engaged in my harassment follow me into this setting, like any other. One of their typical tactics is to pretend to be an amorous couple while keeping me under surveillance.

There was one such couple in Papago Park today, tracking my movements. As I setup my camera and tripod, they stood perhaps 60 feet behind me out of my line of sight. However, by using the reflection in the rear LCD of my digital camera like a mirror, I could see that they were watching me intently. When I turned around, now facing them, they quickly resumed their “cover” as an amorous couple. This sun-baked, shadeless, open desert setting is perhaps the least comfortable place in all of Phoenix for a couple to be necking and petting. Yet, there they were, glancing at me repeatedly as I photographed the landscape.

The human ego is a childish thing that must be put away. Especially when one is the target of repeated psychological attacks. One can go for years maintaining needed self-control and yet, in an unguarded moment, allow the childish ego to rear its ugly head. Normally, I ignore these gangstalkers. Yet, on this occasion, my foolish ego got the best of me. I proceeded to walk over to them.

If and when I choose to do so, by combining my physical bearing (over 6 feet tall and in reasonably good shape) with an authoritative tone, I can become an intimidating presence. Using that ill-chosen talent, I asked to take their picture, something they were loathe to allow. While my words were carefully chosen for their innocence, they were said in such a way that subtly acknowledged that I knew why they were there. The tenor of my speech was also mildly condescending. However, I did not use profanity or threaten. We had a few tension-filled words of conversation. They became very uncomfortable with the idea of having their photo taken and left the area.

For a quick moment I felt a sense of having won a small victory. That was quickly replaced with a deep sense of shame. What I had just done was immature and unacceptable. By that one childish act, I had given my persecutors a victory. For years they have tried to rob me of my dignity. In that one moment, I voluntarily handed over what they could not gain by torture and humiliation for over ten years. I had become no better than my persecutors. In a small way, I was now imitating their cruel thinking and behavior.

The person who takes an illicit pleasure in humiliating others is like a man who mutilates himself and then laughs at his wretched condition in the mirror. We are all part of the same human family. Humiliating others is an expression of the low regard we have for our ourselves.

Interestingly, as I observed today, many of those who are used as “gangstalkers” come from the same working class backgrounds as the people they victimize. This strategy by the covert government agencies that exploit them is not without precedent.

The Nazi’s used a similar strategy in the concentration camps to oppress prisoners. They would select certain prisoners to work inside Nazi concentration camps during World War II in various lower administrative positions. Called Kapos, they would receive more privileges than normal prisoners in exchange for their keeping their fellow prisoners in line. The Kapos, many of whom were Jewish, often proved to be more brutal and oppressive toward their fellow prisoners than the SS Guards. In fact, many who served as Kapos were so brutal in their treatment of fellow prisoners that they were tried along with Nazi officers for war crimes at the end of World War II. The word Kapos, which means “combat police” in German, has since come to mean a “self-loathing Jew’ because of the notorious behavior of Jewish Kapos toward their brethren in the concentration camps. This same cruelty is seen in the actions of modern day “gangstalkers.” Their psychological brutality is directed towards their own neighbors, persons much like themselves. In a real sense, they are modern-day Kapos.

Gangstalking is a “childish thing.” Those who employ it avoid the honest, open communication and interaction characteristic of mature individuals, using spite, hubris and cowardly mob violence to address disputes they have with fellowmen. Gangstalking and other psychological attacks are not tools of those who have “put away childish things.”

Knowing this, I am more determined than ever to avoid the cruel thinking of my persecutors. As that gangstalking couple walked away, I had to stand there for a few minutes pondering my own actions. I said a silent prayer, asking for God’s forgiveness. I was intent on apologizing if I saw those two individuals again. Irregardless of how I am treated, I must retain my dignity and humanity and reject injustice of any sort when dealing with my fellow man. That is the mark of a mature man who has “put away childish things.”

“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” - 1 Corinthians 13:11  King James Version

While countless lives were being sacrificed in Europe during World War I, an amazing effort was underway to save lives in Antarctica. Famed Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton and his crew suffered catastrophe when their ship, Endurance, was crushed and sunk by pack ice. Shackleton managed to get his men to a safe haven—of sorts—on Elephant Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. But they still faced extreme danger. Elephant Island was bitterly cold, barren, and composed primarily of rock and ice. It presented a major challenge to the survival of Shackleton and his men.

Shackleton realized that their only hope of survival lay in sending for help from a whaling station on the island of South Georgia. That was 700 miles away, and he had only a 22-foot lifeboat salvaged from the shipwrecked Endurance. Their prospects were not good.

Leaving his men with the promise that he would return and rescue them, Shackleton and a small party set off in choppy waters for South Georgia. On May 10, 1916, after 17 harrowing days, they reached their destination. However, terrible sea conditions forced them to land on the wrong side of the island. They were faced with a 20-mile trek over uncharted, snow-covered mountains to reach their final destination. Against all odds—in subzero temperatures and without proper climbing equipment—Shackleton and his companions reached their destination, and he eventually returned to rescue all his stranded men. Why did Shackleton put forth such strenuous effort? “His one ambition,” writes biographer Roland Huntford, was “to get every one of his men out alive.”

Why is it that in the midst of World War I when millions of lives where being discarded on the battlefield, one man demonstrated such extraordinary concern for the lives of others? Why did he consider the lives of his crew to be worth such effort? His entire crew of 21 men, many of whom were ill, frostbitten and near starvation survived the four and a half months until Shackleton was able to find a way to return and rescue them. What saved them from complete despair in that bleak setting? Their confidence that their leader would keep his promise to rescue them.

At a time when many abuse and destroy the lives of others for selfish motives, it is rare to find men who adhere to high principles in their treatment of fellowmen. Shackleton greatly valued the life of each member of his crew. And he never abandoned the noble principles that drove him to expend any effort necessary to rescue them. In this true account, we can extract the secret of successfully surviving, and indeed, triumphing over psychological attacks that include directed energy weapons torture and gang stalking . . .

We will look at the qualities that enabled Ernest Shackleton to triumph over adversity in our next installment, and see how those qualities can help victims of directed energy weapons torture and gang-stalking to triumph over adversity . . .
