Sent to the Committee on Government Reform, Minority Office, US House of Representatives June 17, 2005.

Dear Sir,

An uncounted number of American citizens (including myself and many others that I can introduce you to) are bearing the brunt of a woefully unjust and un-American (yet apparently popular and presumably punative) practice whereby citizens are surveilled within their homes and other places having a reasonable expectation of privacy and forced to endure various forms of unwanted semi-communications and even the induction of pain, sleeplessness and other effects. Also, they are being forced to see anything gleaned from such surveillance (of unknown quality or accuracy) shared with selected members of the public, who are given instructions to bounce those back at targeted citizens in highly deniable ways, usually involving elements of mockery and ridicule and employing everything from innuendo to suggestive object placement to job loss to suggestive email bombardments to interruption of and interference with paid for services.

The guiding principle behind this trend appears to be the preservation of absolute transparency and/or deniability in application such that no authority or individual can be identified (or otherwise proven to be involved) so as to be held accountable and forced to produce any form of justification. Another guiding principle inherent in the first is the structuring of such operations such that targeted citizens are frequently accused of paranoia and delusion and possibly thrust into psychiatric treatment under false circumstances.

This practice clearly runs counter to the traditional, lawful and Constitutional American tradition of accountability by authority, opportunity for a fair self-defense, the right to enjoy a measure of privacy in one's home and in one's private associations, the right to a fair trial prior to any form of prosecution and the right to simply be left alone. And all because various technologies have opened up a 'space between' whereby authorities can operate beyond the reach of accountability for their own actions and because numerous people (including your colleagues in senate and congress) are willing to turn a blind eye to their own roles in this atrocity as long as those roles can be perpetually denied and petitions for redress of grievances ignored.

This situation is clearly unacceptable, is preserved only because targeted individuals are confronted with a virtually impossible task of providing courtroom quality proof of such operations, amounts to a clever form of conspiracy and involves aspects of torture and intentional mental cruelty. It is clearly your duty to the nation that you serve to investigate this American atrocity, these high-tech lynchings, and to provide accountability to victims of these operations both past and present and to expose both those operations in all their details and those who perpetrate them.

Thank you. I and the many other targeted citizens look forward to hearing from you on this matter. We also look forward to rallying in numbers in the nation's capitol later this year as a demonstration of our discontent and our determination to see an ultimate end to this American monstrosity.

Sincerely,
Ted Jackson (website address withheld due to forum policy restrictions)

Before anyone asks..

No, I am not crazy, have no history with the psychiatric profession and am of perfectly sound mind and abilities. I am a research engineer and faculty member working for The Georgia Institute of Technology. What I wrote in the letter to the Committee on Government Reform is the truth. Period. Pressure-boxes such as that described in the letter are apparently fairly rare, which helps to explain why so few people (including psychiatry professionals) are aware of them. But they are real. If interested, I can introduce you to a former agent in charge of the Los Angeles field office of the FBI, an intelligent and articulate PhD and a very capable national security alumnus who are also targeted individuals.

The comprehensive term encompassing these clandestine pressure scarios is (unfortunately) so-called 'mind control', though other labels like 'clandestine intervention', 'virtual interrogation', 'gang stalking' and others are being bantered about.

I invite any (courageous) psychiatric professional who dares to discuss this issue with me here in this forum to do so.

To what end ?

Kathyanita,

I would hope that the answer to your question would have been self evident from the letter itself. But if not, I'll tell you.

Because most psychiatric professionals and most of the lay-public appear to be clueless about its reality and wind up being unwitting cogs in its machinery in terms of misunderstanding and false diagnosis, owing to the traditional assumptions surrounding schizophrenia, delusion and paranoia. Because the relative few who believe they know something about it have been sold on some carefully cultivated propaganda that it is for use on predators and upon unstable, potentially violent and evil people, when in fact it appears (to me at least) to represent a kind of clandestine conservative revolution that approaches absolute power. Because it represents a total suspension of a chance at a fair self defense and due process, which every last one of you would expect to enjoy should you ever require it someday. Because there have certainly been suicides and destroyed lives resulting from these tactics and no accountability or honest explanations offered for those losses. Because I've seen ten years of my own life, my reputation and career destroyed under false, exaggerated and aggravated and cleverly clandestine circumstances by these things with noone to simply ask, 'Why?'. Noone who must be both responsible for both their having heard the question and responsible for their response, anyway. Because an elder PhD and friend, the kind you would never expect to do such a thing at all, put a bullet in his head on top of Kennesaw Mountain apparently under suspiciously similar circumstances.

I'm here to tell you that these things are real AND that virtually anyone can be tossed into one of these kill-boxes, because there is absolutely no defense against them. If one of your friends or loved ones were being hit with these tactics (and you actually believed the truth of what they were emphatically trying to tell you), wouldn't you want it stopped? Wouldn't you want to be able to do something to help them?

To what end. I suppose 'justice', 'fairness' and 'Constitution' are the short answers to your question.

[Kathyanita]

Face a little more to the left- when preaching to the chior. . .

[SeptemberMorn]

Sounds political to me. We don't discuss politics here. It's a SUPPORT site for those with Mental Health Issue. NOT a lobbying group.

[Kathyanita]

. . .what she said Doc. . .

[amdx64]

While we all have complaints about this and that the system. Its comes down to sometimes swaying your sword changes the whole subject of making things one way to something else.

I an others are here not to debate issues but to share our issues and work as a team. We all have limited resources and run out alot. This is why we are here reguardless of the subject hugs and ears and friendships is what we are about.

Even if i dont know someone who needs help i will. However like it your cause needing help and swaying sowrds are far different. If you want to help us and help our issues then stand here and listen and talk to us all and be there for us .. that alone will answer any question or debate.

Well stated

Perhaps I should have taken a little extra time and effort and described this beyond the scope of that letter to the Committee. My mistake. If this conversation proceeds, I'll speak only about the techniques used, the dilemma that targets face and the injustice that it represents.

I AM seeking support and this IS a mental health issue, though an indirect one. I just wanted to briefly illustrate the reality in the hopes that it would invite some relevant questions. If you draw nothing else from my post, then just remember that not everyone out there who walks into a psychiatrist's office complaining of hearing voices or other noises (see Dr. James C. Lin's - 'Microwave Auditory Effect and Applications' available from Alibris Books and several other patents) or relates a seemingly unlikely persecution tale is necessarily imagining it.

I have no wish to further complicate an already complicated world that psychiatrists try to cope with, but that's not my doing. Others are using techniques that emulate the appearance of schizophrenia, paranoia and delusion. Not I.

I'll be a little disappointed if noone chooses to discuss this in a relevant and substantive way, but I won't be surprised. I'd take this issue to a forum where psychiatrists are discussing issues amongst themselves, but they won't let me into their forums, saying that I'm not qualified to talk to them at all in other than a patient/all-knowing-lesser-god relationship.

[jennie]

What kind of support do you need? Looks like you already sent the letter.

How was your reputation and career destroyed?

[(JD)]

love it! lol where does one buy that food anyway? I have none.

[Kathyanita]

and of course we have every reason to open our minds and emails to you and yours without a thorough FBI background check on you don't we?
You want clearminded, able petitioners to further this cause yet you seek to hold the rally here where many are admittedly disabled and easily influenced by such assertions in this sort of legalese.

so what was your dx and how shall we relate?

Manchurian Candidate 1958

A little confirmation, some acknowledgement by the profession, I suppose. An opportunity to discuss these issues in a forum where psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists are discussing their own issues, which I expect could only be obtained by invitation and which, after that all-knowing-lesser-god comment, I'm probably not likely to get. I suppose I've said my piece. If youall would prefer that I leave the forum at this point, I will. As someone pointed out, my issues don't exactly correspond to the nature and intentions of psychcentral, anyway.

As far as the letter goes, it might as well have plunged into a black hole for what good it will do, though I have more faith in the democratic minority office of the house than the house as a whole. Oops. That had political overtones, didn't it?

[jennie]

Try sending your letter to the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) . . . they help establish guidelines and policies, etc.

We are laypersons, seeking and giving mental health support . . . not professionals.

[darkeyes]

Ted,
I am sorry, but I think this post borders "community guidelines".
This is a mental health website, our forums are not for controversial topics,such as politics and or religion.
Such topics through out centuries have always led to wars, debates, etc.
I'm sure if you go on Google you'll find a site with forums that suit your needs.
I wish you luck in your quest.


DE

I understand your concern that I shouldn't hold my 'rally' here for the reasons you described. I would be happy to take the discussion elsewhere with anyone willing and able to entertain it for that reason.

Dx? I'm sorry, but I don't understand the terminology.

As far as background checks go, I've never been arrested, tried or convicted of any crime (as far as I know!). That's part of why I'm so peeved about my own situation. You begin to see my dilemma. You have NO real reason to open your minds or emails to me beyond whatever ability to convince you that I can muster.

As far as legalese, I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or as an insult. I'm no lawyer. I'm an engineer. I've found that in dealing with these issues over the years that absolute clarity and precision in language are a must (as far as I'm able). I've 'adapted' (perhaps unfortunately) to that mode of language. Actually, I acquired it more in writing research reports than in writing about these issues.

Sky,

Hmm?

[Kathyanita]

last word from me on this. . . wait I just heard the horse leaving the stable. . . oh well . . .

( strange you've never encountered the medical shorthand for diagnosis)

Jennie,

Noted. Some of my fellow TIs have tried, I believe. No substantive responses as yet. FOIA letters don't enjoy much success either.

Kathyanita,

I've never been 'diagnosed'. I avoid the profession in a patient context like the plague for fear of a false diagnosis.
