NP Rank:
Bush Torture Memos OK'ed Radiation Weapon Use - On Americans Too
• "Torture matrix" not just a foreign affair
• This column gives testimony as a journalist and as an unjustly "targeted" victim
GET POLITICAL w/ VIC LIVINGSTON
As a longtime investigative reporter for major newspapers and TV outlets, this columnist has gathered first-hand information indicating that what insiders refer to as “the torture matrix” involves the use of silent, classified microwave and laser radiation weapons, and extends far beyond terror war “detainees” and into communities across the United States.
Still-secret U.S. Justice Department memoranda are said to have been used as legal cover for “hi-tech” torture techniques involving various forms of electromagnetic radiation — pulsed-beam microwave and laser radiation “directed energy weapons” and devices capable of inducing a wide range of adverse physiological effects, including: severe pain; illnesses and ailments such as strokes, heart attacks and aneurysms; vision degradation; hearing loss; muscle paralysis; mood and behavior changes; cognitive impairment; and, over time, a “slow-kill” death.
(Military literature uses the term “slow-kill” to describe the lethality of weapons systems the government benignly terms “non-lethal” or, more recently, “less-lethal.”)
Victims of harassment and psychological and physical torture allegedly meted out by so-called "organized community gang stalker" units fronted by federally-funded community policing and public safety agencies insist that directed energy weapons assaults continue under the Obama administration.
Operatives of this citizen "army" are said to have infiltrated the U.S. health care system, including hospitals, doctors offices and extended care and nursing homes. Parents of "targeted individuals" are said to have been subject to mistreatment and physical abuse, including suspected irradiation, and psychological harassment, such as vandalism of property, clothing and personal effects.
Victims charge that these crimes against humanity are not simply the unfortunate byproduct of the "war on terror," but constitute a purposeful genocide-politicide targeting innocent persons by labeling them as "dissidents," "undesirables," "deviates" or "mental defectives."
Because microwave radiation "directed energy" weapons are silent and leave no traditional forensic evidence such as bullet casings, blood splatter, or powder burns, this form of torture is even more insidious, more potentially devastating, than anything described in the memos already released.
The Justice Department memos are said to justify as legal the domestic use of radiation weaponry on U.S. citizens under several novel legal theories, including a nexus to terrorism -- a possible rationale for the silent torture of persons tagged as political dissidents -- and the notion that weapons testing on non-consenting individuals is permissible if the subject is under federal investigation, or is deemed to be mentally infirm.
It is also likely that memos approving the use of radiation weapons will be kept secret, unless the American Civil Liberties Union -- whose lawsuit resulted in the Justice Department disclosures -- successfully subpoenas memos related to advanced weapons systems. "Directed energy" weapons have been developed by various government and private agencies, including the multi-agency Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP), the Defense Department's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and units doing specialized weapons development work for agencies that include the Secret Service, the intelligence agencies, and the armed services.
In December 2008, the Bush Justice Department confirmed that directed energy weapons are being proliferated to law enforcement agencies nationwide. The announcement also confirmed the development of hand-held radiation energy weapons. Public demonstrations of an Army truck-mounted “Active Denial System” weapon, said to repel crowds by heating the outer layers of human flesh, have left the impression that miniaturization is years off.
Victims of community gang stalking and alleged radiation weapons torture have asked the FBI to launch a civil rights investigation. They say officials have told them they see nothing to investigate, and hint that victim accounts are delusional.
Victims maintain that marginalizing the persecuted as "unstable" or "mentally ill" is a tactic being used to cover up crimes against humanity.
Victims of these assaults also say their family finances are decimated by an array of secret "programs of personal financial destruction" that involve the forced cooperation of private enterprise; surveillance and interception of mail and telecommunications; and the forging of billing, utility, banking and mortgage statements -- what they charge is a process of expropriation and theft by deception.

I have personally sent in a FOIA request on gang stalking which i found at this link. I am recommending that all of you do the same as we must expose this horror!
I am currently appealing a response from the FBI which follows in these scanned documents:

You can find the FOIA request at the following link:

Dear Sir or Madame:
I hereby APPEAL the decision and actions of the FBI in regard to my FOIA request dated 03/23/2009. The FBI sent me a letter dated April 6, 2009, denying any responsive records for “gang stalking” and informing me of my right to appeal. A copy of said FBI closing letter is attached to this administrative appeal letter.
Firstly, requester/appellant requested all FBI records pertaining to gang stalking. Requester gave numerous synonyms for the term and fully described the activity of gang stalking at length. Requester finds that the FBI’s response stating that no records were found is patently unbelievable.
Here is a current list of Google hits for gang stalking and related terms (as of the date of this letter):
Gang stalking: 558,000
Group stalking: 4,210,000
Community stalking: 3,680,000
Organized stalking: 1,220,000
Revenge stalking: 1,430,000
Vigilante stalking: 112,000
Terrorist stalking: 738,000
Gaslighting: 328,000
It is not believable that the FBI, the nations largest domestic intelligence agency, has no information on a subject of which the internet is ablaze. There are dozens of websites and blogs dedicated to gang stalking that have been around for years, as well as, dozens of Youtube videos on gang stalking. Also, a range of professionals including psychologists, private detectives, nurses, lawyers, etc. have publicly spoken, written and blogged on the subject. How could the FBI be thoroughly ignorant of a mass movement? Why are they hiding what information they have?
Moreover, in January 2009, DOJ issued a Special Report entitled “Stalking Victimization in the United States”. That report revealed some information that seems responsive to my request: 11% of stalking victims have been stalked for over 5 years; 18% reported stalking by 2 stalkers; 13% by 3 stalkers (oddly no statistics were reported for stalking by more than 3 stalkers); 34% reported use of computer spyware; 46% video surveillance; 42% audio surveillance/bugging; 11% GPS tracking. All of this is responsive to my request and the FBI is denying they have any such responsive records. This seems Orwellien, how could the FBI whose main database contains over 100,000,000 records miss this increase in sophistication and methodology in stalking?
At a minimum, the FBI should have used its search indices to search all of the enumerated terms listed in my request for gang stalking, as well as, any other terms known to the FBI for gang/group stalking. My request was specifically detailed and broadly worded and stated that it was to be broadly interpreted.
Requester-appellant submits that it is the duty of DOJ to remand this matter to the FBI with instructions to promptly conduct an adequate and reasonable search. Courts have uniformly held that respondent agencies should not play semantic word games, and, must conduct a complete and good faith search effort to find all responsive materials to a FOIA request.
Requester-appellant reserves the right to file suit in federal court in this matter as provided for by the FOIA.
Sincerely,
__________________________

I am seeking legal aid in this matter for my appeal if any attorneys are out there who would be willing to help expose this horror please contact me! I have made the first step in disseminating this egregious civil liberties crime against many targeted individuals, their lives and their families. As with those who authorized the torture of detainees, we must also expose and demmand the release of records and or memos authorizing the use of cointelpro like tactics on innocent US citizens. We must stop this crime now!
Please contact me if you would like to help in this matter in anyway. kc009@waxdj.com

The FBI certainly has inside knowledge of gang stalking. I've been down there multiple times, so when they tell you there's no record of complaints, that is simply not true.
But as I've commented before about your petition, you single out the FBI when what I term the "extrajudicial punishment network" is clearly a multi-agency coordinated action, a series of programs with a lead agency doing the ultimate coordination. The insiders know full well which agency that is. I can only speculate.
So why are you singling out the FBI when another agency, or agencies, may have a superior role in devising the so-called "torture matrix"? Is the FBI the "fall guy" here?
Not that I am casting aspersions on your true motives. I don't have enough info to do that.
As for your pleas for legal aid:
I've tried such an appeal on the ACLU web site, where I have reprinted many of my articles and have authored many original posts as well.
It is quite possible that the "full lid" that has been imposed upon me has prevented certain people from contacting me.
I met my congressman, Patrick Murphy, for the first time today, at a public event. I believe he remembered me from my TV news days in Philly. I told him that I have been trying to contact him for at least two years -- on the phone, via email, even in person at his main local office. I also informed him of the strong evidence that my telecommunications are not just being surveilled, but are being intercepted, and expressed my belief that I was being kept from contacting him.
I made the congressman aware that any victims of gang stalking who try to seek redress are falsely labeled as delusional, or falsely accused of being some sort of a deviate. He promised to read the articles on this site. Since my every move is being surveilled, I am giving away no secrets here.
Hopefully, my brief meeting with the congressman will bear fruit. I believe he realizes there are factions within many of the agencies and directorates with an "interest" in using members of local, federally-funded groups as civilian enforcers and informants -- and I told him of my strong belief that many inside the FBI are disgusted with what has happened. I know they took seriously my reports of irradiation and food poisoning (but they haven't taken steps to stop these crimes against humanity that I know are happening in Bucks County, PA).
What I didn't get to tell him is that breaking down the "stovepipes" that divided government agencies may have been the crowning achievement of the Bush administration -- since it let "the good people on the inside" see just want some other bureaucrats and their "unit" operatives were really up to.
***
I saw many familiar stalker faces at the township hall where I met Rep. Murphy. I engaged a couple of them in conversation. They were not from my township.
I said to one of them, "You know about the crown of evil." (That's the term the stalkers use to describe the GPS screen pattern used to track their "targets").
He said something like, "Yeah. What about it?"
I told one of them that with the new administration, the two-way "crown of evil" GPS technology (which leaves an electronic trail) might be used to track down the stalkers, the gaslighters, the tailgaters, the cat burglars who enter my home.
I asked him if he had a family. He said he did. I said to him:
"Well, for their sake, this might not be a good time to be one of those points on the crown of evil" (the points being the signals emanating from the "swarming" stalker vehicles).
He gave me a rueful smile and said, "You may be right." Then he said, "Thanks for the heads up."
Was he being facetious, mocking me?
Call me naive; but I think I got this guy to think about the possibility he could be spending a beautiful Saturday afternoon stalking an innocent man whose life he has helped ruin.

STOP LYING.
insiders refer to as “the torture matrix”
You know somneone involved in this and they called it that?
Still-secret U.S. Justice Department memoranda are said to have been used as legal cover
If they are secret how do you know what they say? Oh, I see the weasel words there- "are said to have been used". By whom?
devices capable of inducing a wide range of adverse physiological effects, including: severe pain; illnesses and ailments such as strokes, heart attacks and aneurysms; vision degradation; hearing loss; muscle paralysis; mood and behavior changes; cognitive impairment; and, over time, a “slow-kill” death.
Where did you come up that nonsense? Is it the usual scientific process, Vic woke up and listed how he felt today?
Because these weapons are silent and leave no traditional forensic evidence such as bullet casings, blood splatter, or powder burns,
Why are you now saying this, when you have reported in this very forum that it was obvious you were under attack by DEW because of the "radiodermatitis" burns it left on your head?
I think you're making this up- fabricated the story out of thin air, because you wrote an almost identical story last week and were asked for evidence of "Bush torture memos" and you could produce nothing.
AT THIS POINT YOU AREN'T EVEN ATTEMPTING TO APPEAR LEGITIMATE AND REPORT FICTION AS NEWS. YOU ARE A FRAUD.
at 10:05 on April 19th, 2009
Batvette, you have said you have a video of your wall moving as the result of some type of attack.
Will you post the video so we can see it?
at 10:39 on April 19th, 2009
I can only speculate that radiation weaponry is being used against civilians as i have no specific evidence leading me to that conclusion. I do however know that organized stalking and state sponsored terrorism does exist. There is a government hit list that is compiled. Those on the list, I believe, are not criminals and have committed any crime. These individuals are political dissidents, those who do not agree with the war on terror and or those perceived as an enemy of the state. The war on terror principle is being used as cover to allow the government to use psychological torture methods on these targets. This is something I have personally experienced over the last year. Street theater, intimidation, provocation, and the dismantling of a targets social network is simply the beginning. The ultimate end goal I believe is documented in Marshal Thomas' video series on youtube. The New Phoenix program which now exists is simply another form of cointelpro and mkultra. These are psychological studies being carried out on US citizens to perfect the use vigilantee stalking groups and potentially (I only speculate) the use of harmful radiation weaponry. I now believe that I personally have been psychologically conditioned and controlled with this harrassment. This social control mechanism is being perfected so that it can be used on real high value criminals in our society. The sad part is that the nuremburg code is not being recognized in this form of experimentation. I assert the following questions. Have any targets consented to allow the government to experiment on them? Have they been compensated for their suffering? Have the individuals within a terget's social life been told that the information they have been fed is nothing but a series of complete and egregious lies?
Ultimately - Is history repeating itself?
It most certainly is.
at 10:39 on April 19th, 2009
I should have posted what you said from the comments on your article. here it is. -
"Even the things I can document and have on DVD recording, like, believe this: they try to terrorize me by making a wall on their side of my house "flex" or "swell" in and out, you can feel it, hear it, and I have numerous recordings of it- how do you prove they did it? At the same time often the house feels like it's rumbling or shaking, and if you stand anywhere near the wall it alternately repels then pulls you toward it- but I don't think it's magnetic."
You write, "how do you prove they did that?"
If you have the video, it proves it happened. How you prove it came from next door and who was doing it is what *they* know might not be believed by many, at least not now, but certainly not forever.
at 11:33 on April 19th, 2009
Where did hear the "crown of evil" reference?
at 12:03 on April 19th, 2009
I have no problen with the posting of it (as I did with the youtube video you can access from the one article I wrote) except for this- by the time it is transferred to a file form youtube recognizes then is uploaded (converted?) to youtube, the resolution and quality loss on any of those will make the movement of the wall at that door almost impossible to discern. That presents something I've tried to asvoid, posting videos on yourtube which say "look! a smoking gun!" but really show nothing at all. Those DVDs were burned straight to disc as the cameras rolled, most (but not all) on a quadrant feed.
To see what I mean go to my userpage and watch the video- now imagine the front door you see in quadrant one moving an inch or so in and out- going to be really tough to see online.
The video I did post shows I am not hesitant about baring all, but I've seen enough stuff on youtube from TI's that even made me think "did they really look at this before they posted it?" (the majority of the archived discs are not on the premises for obvious reasons, I do have a couple here- and haven't made any new ones lately as my "Lite-on" DVD recorder is now getting finicky about what discs it will accept- any hints on that? it's model LVC-9016G, I tried a firmware update, no help- it's supposed to take all DVD R/RW + and - but keeps showing "invalid disc" and when it does read and prepare it it gets partway then says "write fail"- I tried to clean the laser with alcohol/swab but am unsure if I got it or not)
Additionally I don't pretend the videos will ever prove anything in a legal setting- and the mention was merely to add that I had numerous checks and balances besides "I see walls move". Which since friday include bowls of water, which have been inconclusive. The shaking has been mild, AND jumping up and down near them reveals this is not a very sensitive form of seismometer. Supposedly you put the water in a bowl or pan and let sunlight reflect off it onto the ceiling and watch the reflection. Not a lot of sunlight as all my windows face N.W.or E.
Another method involves a plumb bob, some wood, and jello. Hmmm...
I'm drawing the line at jello.
Finally here is something to think about filming similar disturbances: Anyone ever see an NFL game live, and get right down there on field level where you're next to the players? When you went home and watched the next week's game, did you notice how the TV showed no perspective of the size and speed of the players? I saw a Chargers game like that some years ago, stood right on the turf for a few plays and was blown away at how high the receivers were leaping at what looked like average catches at home on TV, and the speed 330 lb linemen carried.
What's funny, is THEIR wall is moving as much as mine. Last summer when it started after I wrote them a note and put it in their mailbox in full candor of what I suspected (no response whatsoever) I mounted a rope light with half on the door frame and half on a parallel piece of aluminum extrusion I mounted 4" from the wall, so when the wall moved at night you could see it even walking down the street. As I worked and for several days I posted a sign saying "The ocean beach mystery spot! Invite your friends, bring grandma and the kids! Everyone in the neighborhood will be famous!" They saw the sign as I began working on it, and after they went inside over a dozen vehicle perps including 2 SDPD marked rollers slowly cruised by over the next 2 hours, a few slowed to a stop even, to see exactly what I was up to! NOBODY could see that sign except for those neighbors, and what I was doing (mounting the lights and extrusion) did not look at all out of the ordinary from the street. (and I could see the neighbors making several long calls after they went inside)
Today the rope lights still stand, you can see them move from the street but it's not much at that distance.. Attempts to capture it on film have been poor, and a new camera is not on the horizon.
at 12:25 on April 19th, 2009
And BTW, assuming the neighbors or their handlers may very well read all this sooner or later, I'll briefly say: "What's up with you guys? You seem human and aren't really different from me except you're 20 years younger- I've loaned you tools and even fixed a few things for you- how did you guys get talked into thinking this was a good plan or the right thing to do? What's funny is if the tables turned tommorrow and I had my finger over YOUR button, I'd grin and laugh an evil laugh, get ready to push the button and make you scream..... and throw down the box, get on the next plane back home to Vermont and forget about you. Now who is the dirtbag here? I've lived here 15 years and always did things for neighbors with nothing in return asked, even once risked my life (and suffered smoke inhalation) saving a neighbor's house from catching fire when the one next door burned down- with just one other neighbor helping and a hundred others just stood across the street as if they were waiting for marshmallows. Your "block captain" Chuck wanted to punch me out last fall for stepping over a one foot corner of his property to borrow a hose from that same neighbor's yard (whose house we'd saved) and I had permission to do so! Are these the kind of people you want in your future? Maybe it's not worth being around for.
Your next door neighbor, John"
at 12:37 on April 19th, 2009
I agree with every point you expressed.
Hang around and you'll see what I'm whining about in short order.
Just remember "the government" as we elect is not running the country. It's some of them and a lot of faceless dark entities with a lot of money. I am of the belief CFR is one of if not the common thread.
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Foreign_Policy_Institutions/Council_Foreign_Relations.html
5 years old and relevant to the 2004 election, but very informative.
It's a summary of a book the same author was blackballed from printing by every major publisher for 25 years. CFR has an obscure page on their site with reference links, which begrudgingly acknowledges Shoup's expose as "the most important critical piece ever written about the Council on Foreign Relations", I kid you not. How is that for an admission of guilt?
I invite anyone reading to archive that link and read it when you have time. It will disillusion you greatly about the "United States of America", but you'd be a fool to ignore the truth.
at 14:13 on April 19th, 2009
I agree with you aswell batvette, What is your take on the Bilderberg Group and its ties to the world banking system and government control. The Obama Deception is a great film I have watched which entails much unlisted information that is not made public regarding secret meetings between current elected officials and these high power individuals from the group. It truly is the rich who are the powerful in this world. They have assets and influence which cannot be matched. When times like these become too much to bear revolution is in order. Grassroots uprising must occur to counter the attack and fascist idiologies that motivate these individuals and that ultimately control our government regardless of who is in power be it democrat or republican. The left vd right controversy is simply another form of street theater to keep people distracted as to what is really happening to our beautiful country. The agenda remains the same as we see with Obama's current direction. Bush policies of war and torture have not ended. As Keith Olbermann stated last week.

Get an audio turntable or make a similar device.
Place it as you would normally, in a position where you have observed the most movement in the wall.
Affix an "arm," hinged up and down to the wall so that it will track perpendicular, close to the outside of a contact paper covered LP record or other disc, so that the movement of the wall/arm is at a 90 degree angle to the movement of the turntable.
Fix a weight and writing instrument to the arm that will easily mark the paper. Set the turntable to the slowest speed or the speed you determine is best.
With the proper parameters set, the output should be similar to an old style mechanical frequency graph machine, easy for anyone viewing it to see movement like you have described as it happens.
Have several LP records or other discs covered with white contact/shelf paper on hand.
As an addition, you could fix to the wall within the camera view, anything that will make noise. A simple adjustable pendulum device, like a tilt on a pinball machine, attached to a low voltage electronic buzzer would be a good.
Place a good web-cam with sound pick-up to cover the area. This digital video is easily published. (If you have a composite input or other on a video card, compatible cameras may be used.)
Have enough USB extension wire to move the camera for a continuous shot from the turntable area to outside the door and beyond.
Just keep it ready to turn on when needed.
Make recordings until you are satisfied it shows what you know is happening.
Your dvd/cd, if still good and clean should start working again after you first delete all the software that came with it.
Then turn off and disconnect the power cord from the computer. Remove the power and mother board connectors from the dvd/cd only, then reboot at least once and/or use the computer as usual.
Then turn off and disconnect the power cord again, reconnect the power and motherboard connections to the dvd/cd and reboot. XP should connect automatically to the dvd/cd, or if prompted to, reinstall the original software cd.
at 19:48 on April 19th, 2009
Several of my stalkers, whom I have taken to engage in conversation lately, openly acknowledge their familiarity with the term, which was unknown to me until a poster here used it in a very informative post about how the GPS tracking system leaves an electronic trail that can be "turned around" on the "swarmers." This is apparently one of the key phrases in the stalker lexicon, right up there with "swarming (or mobbing, if in a store) the target" and "gaslighting".
at 09:31 on April 20th, 2009
This whole Bildeberg, world banker, blame-the-Zionists disinformation apparently is being propagated as a way blame those who are among the VICTIMS of this push toward a global police state.
This double-agentry seems to emanate from persons who start out condemning "gang stalking" and government sponsorship of extrajudicial punishment -- then turn around and "blame of victim."
Just like Hitler did.
"Unconstitutional 911," I don't have "proof" that you are one of these disinfos.
Perhaps you simply have swallowed their scapegoating Kool-Aid.
at 11:07 on April 20th, 2009
Scrivener,
I don't have enough information on the Bilderberg group as I have only watched the Obama Deception and done a bit of online research. I don't understand how these rich and powerful few could be victims of a police state they themselves are creating. I am not sure who you are referring to as the victim here. I am an advocate for the exposure of this horror. Which is why I am appealing my FOIA request to the DOJ. It is beyond the FBI at this point and I want to know what the government in general is hiding. This includes all agencies who are potentially involved. I would not have gone this far if I had no interest in exposing such a civil rights epidemic.
Grassroots
This is a message to Obama! Take it from a true civil rights leader as you are simply a conveyance of the same system of torture and dissemination of constitutional rights.
A right delayed is a right denied.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is a message for criminal organized stalking groups and Bush torture advocates.
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Obama is aiding and abedding fugitives with his actions
A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Need I not quote the words of Lord Acton
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
I would like to end with the idea that democracies loose their liberties on the installment plan just as Dr. King mentioned regarding soft-minded men. We currently live in a society of many soft-minded men who have been fooled by the fresh African American face of a man who for all the world appeals to the youth of the nation and sets forth a vision of hope a presidence. What we have to get in our minds is this hope is being dismanteled before our very eyes. Obama's transparency initiative has lead to exposure of haneous crime at the hands of our very government institutions that we look to for our very protection. Were the Natzi soldiers simply following orders? Is that simply history's easiest and most widely used defense? Various regulations put forth including the genoeva conventions and the nuremburg code were put in place to prevent future abuses. If we do not hold those accountable for their haneous actions against humanity then we as a just society are not stepping forward as Obama suggests but are stepping backward into a world of fascism in which individuals of high status are above the law.

"I don't understand how these rich and powerful few could be victims of a police state they themselves are creating. "
Did it ever occur to you that these "rich and powerful" leaders of politics and industry" do not fully realize that they have been co-opted and deceived by a counter-force of ultra- right-wing neo-fascists who have convinced them of external threats that have been exaggerated -- or even created -- by the totalitarian proponents of "the security state"?
Much of the groundwork for what happened during the Bush administration was laid during the CLINTON administration. Hillary Clinton, in particular, is not naive. She warned of the dangers of the "vast ring-wing conspiracy" -- a belief that she reiterated, albeit using softer language, in her autobiography.
So why did Bill Clinton allow the Dr. Strangeloves in the military, security and intel communities to lay the foundation for the abuses of the Bush administration? Because he was seduced by power -- and because his personal behavior allowed him to be subject to a subtle form of political blackmail. So he bought "the program" -- literally -- and sold out the American public on matters of civil liberties.
As I recall, Bill Clinton remarked that he hoped to learn two things as President: Has the government covered up the confirmation of UFOs; and, who really killed JFK.
Perhaps his curiosity was tempered by realpolitik. Or perhaps the isolation of "the bubble," coupled with his awareness that his political enemies could blackmail him at any time, led him to become a compliant coward rather than an effective defender of personal liberty.
I still have faith that the leadership skills of Barack Obama can do what Clinton could not do -- rein in the despots, while at the same time co-opting their political power base, ensuring that they dare not continue to subvert the Constitution and the people's will.
While I am still being attacked with radiation weaponry, and my privacy and civil rights continue to be invaded, I have seen first-hand the power of hope and change in my daily life. And I believe that restored hope will encourage the good people on the inside to finally act on their convictions and to no longer tolerate the egregious wrongs that their refusal to speak up has helped to enable.
But naivete runs deep. Too many politicians, especially the liberals, refuse to believe that the same technology that uses microwave radiation to "triangulate" and locate any location on Earth could be weaponized by government Dr. Strangleloves to silently disrupt human nervous systems, or physically impair or even kill any human being on Earth -- perhaps by way of cell phone towers as well as satellites.
Hand-held microwave "directed energy" weaponry are real and in use -- but perhaps what's leaked out about "DEW" is just part of a cover story for a greater threat to humanity -- "directed energy" weapons that use telecommunications systems as their delivery mode -- no nearby operators or "triggermen" required.

Vic, you really shouldn't put so much into this attack the right bias.
The most obvious argument: Greed and lust for power, and the establishment of oneself as an icon in history, knows no right or left bias.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Umm...didn't I say, above, that a lot of this really started to expand under Bill Clinton? Or doesn't that fit your "profile"?
A lot of good people who call themselves conservatives, especially among local law enforcement, have been co-opted, usurped, made financially dependent upon, and otherwise exploited by authoritarian ideologues who've got the locals spending much time and money conducting witch-hunts...
...and covering up the tracks of citizen gang stalkers.
Local police have been "groomed" and "conditioned" to become the enablers of extremist cultists who are no better, and in some ways, worse, than the Nazi civilian "brownshirts" -- since they appear to be equipped with "directed energy weapons" and other high tech toys like the GPS devices they implant in "target" vehicles (or is that done by the local car dealer mechanics who are "program" members? The same people who may have disabled our air bags once or even twice?
(If there's ever a legitimate investigation into these crimes, the truth would come out, because the evidence is all around.)
It's like the old Marlon Brando movie, The Wild One: the criminal gang takes over the town, while the sheriff makes excuses for allowing it to happen.
You are right. It's not really a matter of "right" or "left." It's a question of upholding the U.S. Constitution or betraying it. Clinton may have been an enabler of these "programs of personal destruction," but the Bush-Cheney crowd went much further and became betrayers of the Constitution. A far-left president could do equal damage, I am sure, but we're unlikely to ever see one, since the political climate here gravitates toward the center, and thank the Lord that it does.
By the way, this is the second time I'm writing this response, since my first effort vanished into the ether, probably after a sadistic fusion center operative noticed that I failed to copy the post before hitting the button.
(They must hate it when they realize I have the right to express my opinion. To them I say: This is America. Love it or leave it. I've had it with five years of being censored, and set up. And yes, it feels good to remember what freedom of speech is like -- freedom from overt censorship, as they've been doing, it appears, at the local "fusion center.")
Oh, here's a song that kind of sums up my point. Listen to it if you want to risk being "corrupted" by a "protest song."

(Second attempt to post. The first attempt only printed the first line. Malicious interference, possibly? Please someone: Alert Janet Napolitano that she's got a fusion center problem. I am serious.)
Attention: David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, Jay Carney...
OBAMA'S ACHILLES HEEL: THE BIG GOVERNMENT ISSUE
Barack Obama must start sounding more like a populist -- evoking Bill Clinton's refrain that "the era of big government is over," even as he deigns to justify massive government spending as a recession cure.
He also needs to demonstrate his commitment to ending big government infringement on civil and human rights by ending the Bush-Cheney "extrajudicial punishment network."
This array of secret programs and policies has turned virtually EVERY police force, fire department and federally-funded citizen community policing and public safety organization in America into an enabling apparatus for a covert army of citizen stormtroopers -- an American Gestapo.
Democracy is being stolen at the grassroots -- but Team Obama has yet to take down this extrajudicial apparatus, which has made a mockery of the rule of law, and continues to violate the civil and human rights of innocent but "targeted" Americans nationwide.
He can start in Bucks County, PA, where a "citizen's corps" of federally-funded community vigilantes drive government-subsidized vehicles to hunt down, terrorize and vandalize their "targets" -- using a GPS tracking system that's known to every law enforcement agency working the county.
The victims of this officially-enabled abuse are told there is "nothing to investigate." That's true; government knows all about it, and continues to look the other way.
You must act now to set an example for law enforcement agencies nationwide -- by sending a message that the era of vigilante INjustice is finally over.

I THOUGHT THE APPARENT BLATANT CENSORSHIP WAS OVER. I WAS WRONG.
This morning, two attempts to post comments to The Washington Post's "The Fix" political blog elicited the now-familiar "held for blog owner" message.
I believe this interception was the work of a regional fusion center in Newtown, PA. I also believe my recent articles have prompted a government agency or agencies to attempt to silence my political speech.
I am publishing the apparently censored posts here, along with a third post explaining the apparent censorship -- which WAS allowed to go through:

"Targeted" journalist's conclusions, based on personal experience...
THE BUSH-CHENEY LEGACY 'EXTRAJUDICIAL PUNISHMENT NETWORK'
USES TORTURE AS A MECHANISM OF RECRIMINATION AND CONTROL -- NOT NECESSARILY JUST TO EXTRACT INFORMATION.
THIS PUNISHMENT AND CONTROL "TORTURE MATRIX' EXTENDS INTO EVERY COMMUNITY IN THE U.S. AND IT CONTINUES UNDER OBAMA -- PERHAPS, WITHOUT THE PRESIDENT'S DIRECT KNOWLEDGE.

(After the above comment failed to post, I tried to post the message below. It also elicited the "held for blog owner" message:)
DHS SECRETARY NAPOLITANO:
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR FUSION CENTERS ARE REALLY DOING...
...USING TELECOMMUNICATIONS TO HARASS AND CENSOR?
Can't seem to access, or post to, certain web sites -- especially, political sites?
Do cookie "blocks" show up in your "preferences" list, even though you didn't request a block, thus preventing you from access?
Are the functions of your computer "hijacked" by third-party remote computing software? Are you blocked from making posts to certain web sites -- seemingly based on the content of your post, receiving messages like "you must be logged on to leave a comment" when the screen shows you've already logged on?
When you post, do typos, spelling errors and other anomalies appear in your comments -- even though you carefully proofread the submission?
You could be the unwitting victim of government "fusion centers" that apparently are using internet "filtering" and real-time remote computing surveillance to censor and maliciously tamper with the telecommunications of American citizens.
Please see this running account of an apparently "targeted" journalist and his quest to exercise his First Amendment right of free speech, and his Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures of telecommunications.
http://blog.aclu.org/2009/01/26/internet-filters-voluntary-ok-not-government-mandate
Then demand that American Civil Liberties Union renew its fight against warrantless government spying by filing a class-action suit against unconstitutional interference with personal and business telecommunications.
Recently, while reading the ACLU blog, this reporter learned of the Bush-Cheney "doctrine" of "ideological exclusion" -- apparently used to bar political "activists" from abroad from visiting the United States.
Could authoritarian bureaucrats be using this doctrine as a justification to censor political speech in this country?
If you suspect the answer is "yes," please add your account to the free speech thread cited above!

(After the two posts above failed to go through, I wrote this explanation, which the apparent censors DID allow to post to The Washington Post political blog:)
MORE APPARENT CENSORSHIP OF POLITICAL BLOG POSTS TO 'THE FIX' -- APPARENTLY NOT BY WA-PO
Both of my submissions this morning have elicited the "held for blog owner" message, although The Washington Post does not "hold" posts unless foul language is detected.
Regular readers here may know that I have written extensively about the Bush-Cheney era "extrajudicial punishment network" and its local control apparatus, nationwide squads of "community gang stalkers" who appear to be fronted by federally-funded community policing and public safety oriented volunteer organizations.
It appears that certain agencies of government are using the regional Department of Homeland Security- administered surveillance "fusion center" in my area (Bucks County, PA) to silence me. This, I believe, is a gross violation of of constitutionally-guaranteed rights.
The American Civil Liberties Union has provided me with a means to catalog these affronts to my constitutional rights. I am publishing the apparently censored posts at the following link (assuming my censors do not interfere with that posting as well):

Oh, lordy, this is some GREAT fiction you're spewing out, Vic- meeting your congressman, chatting with your perps about the tools of their trade, detailing the contents of secret memos that have never been released....
So every journalist in the world must have one of those small tape recorders they use when they interview people, not having one would be silly, nobody can remember every word of the answers an interviewee would give you.... how come you didn't have one in your pocket when you got your perps to admit what they were doing?
Seems to me that would be just the thing to do if one's life were being ruined by them and they wanted to stop it. Nice evidence- unless one wants to keep the fantasy going...
at 05:38 on April 22nd, 2009
A pattern? 1) "batvette" posts a thoughful, insightful response. 2) "vic" follows with lengthy posts (ridiculous ones, usually) - in this case, two of them, I believe.
Some who visit this site will only see/read "vic's" ludicrous comments and perhaps won't see "batvette's."
No one is censoring you, "vic", in spite of all your protests. If you really wanted this exposed you would be posting thoughful, concise, logical comments that might result in a positive outcome. I'm just guessing that your congressman has "written you off" now, based on what I've seen and heard.
And, why don't you carry a small recorder? There are ballpoint pens that are recorders.

It is likely that agents of government moved swiftly to slander me to my congressman.
It is also likely that he is an intelligent man and can smell smoke when there's a fire burning.
at 08:48 on April 22nd, 2009
I especially liked batvette's "insightful" post about how his walls are moving in and out.
at 08:50 on April 22nd, 2009
When I taught a college class, I felt fairly certain that a couple of my "students" were undercover agents, part of my "targeting" and a frame-up that I believe still continues...
at 13:20 on April 22nd, 2009
Considering I gave a detailed account of my efforts to mitigate and record it, I think insightful would be a good description- and shows I'm taking this more seriously than "there are perps and DEW secreted in my attic but must be well hidden so I won't go looking up there and will allow the attacks to continue".
I've got a photobucket album I already linked one photo of showing the measures I took to secure the door on that wall in question (and to show anyone it's ridiculous to imply you can't keep people- even locksmiths- out of your home at night while you sleep-half a dozen locksmiths aren't getting through my front door in less than 1/2 an hour and a lot of noise))
Here's another pattern: Vic raised a point. I addressed it in a direct manner with a believable answer that doesn't insult anyone's intelligence, and offer to back it up with photographic evidence (and if I have to will find one of the better recordings and see if I can get an edit ouf it that looks substantial) You're also revealing a side of you that betrays any illusion about you really being targeted yourself by being so quick to ridicule my description of those disturbances. Most people in our shoes have a fairly open mind about the unusual, we've experienced things we would never have believed a few years ago.
Your reply about the congressman was typical lameness. It really does seem like you have no interest at all in seeing this end, instead content on turning this into a high profile circus revolving around yourself.
at 13:24 on April 22nd, 2009
What "frame-up"? You said you were targeted because one of your investigative journalism pieces pissed off some powerful people.
at 21:48 on April 22nd, 2009
As any real victim of extrajudicial targeting knows, being slandered is part of the harassment protocol. You are such a ringer... you're starting to convince me that you're not "official" because frankly, I don't think they'd have you...
