Using ration and logic to explain something very simple. All is One. When we hurt others we are hurting ourselves. To solve any problem use diplomacy that is why we were given a voice. Using force, torture, abuse, and violating individuals doesn't solve anything. It brings a vicious cycle of karma that never ends. Even if you get away with your crimes this life you might not be so lucky when you reincarnate. There is an intelligent force that operates in this reality and it is called Karma. When issues or problems arise why not talk it out and settle it with a solution like most adults? Most of this is common sense and kindergarten rules. Use love, compassion and empathy to address the problem and we can make this world a better place. Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, and Freedom.

I'm not sure about this. Most of the times I think these people, and the famous people who are involved will never get back for what they have done to me. Will all of them get away with what they have done to me? If it is real, where is the proof?
Does anybody know what day Greg will be handing out the filing? I'm so desperate to end this and I'm getting impatient. Will he be handing out the filing this month or will we have to wait until the fall? I have tried contacting Greg but I never got a response. Can anyone get in contact with Greg for me and ask him what day or month he will be handing out the filing?
►►► Quella che vedi è un'immagine della Yumemi Koubou dreamachine ◄◄◄
Yumemi koubou è ancora in fase sperimentale e non garantisce risultati effettivi al 100%, ma i test svolti sinora confermano che la macchina migliora il sonno dell’utente e aumenta significativamente la sua possibilità di avvicinarsi al sogno desiderato.Inutile dire che la reazione del mondo scientifico è di perplessità. Il dottor Craig Webb, direttore della “Dreams Foundation”, gruppo di studi americano di ricerche sul sonno, ha già criticato il fatto che la macchina funzioni a intervalli regolari preimpostati e non sia in grado di reagire agli effettivi stati REM del soggetto, che variano ovviamente da individuo a individuo.
Ma la Takara Company, non sembra preoccuparsi eccessivamente delle critiche: Yumemi koubou viene ora lanciato sul mercato giapponese al costo di 14,800 Yen (circa 115 €uro) e se ne prevede la distribuzione in America per il 2005.
Forse la possibilità di sognare a piacimento non è più… un sogno!

N.B. nel 2006 ed esattamente a Natale tra il 26-12-2006 e il 10-01-2007 grazie ai MIB, io venni a conoscenza del progetto N.S.O. (Navigatore Spazio Oobe or Navigator Space Oobe).C'era anche il Prode Romano ed è mia ferma supposizione che questa kobou dreamachine sia più o meno iccocua ma che abbia dato spunto e si ricolleghi ad esprimenti psedubellici indotti sulla fase onirica di un soggetto-bersaglio.Ti rammento che anche Nikola Tesla conduceva esperimenti sulla ionosfera per darci energia pulita gratis. I suoi esprimenti e le sue tesi vennero usate per creare nuove armi. Non è la prima volta nella Historia umana, che qualcuno ha una buona idea o buone intenzioni e poi passano CIA oppure servizi segreti deviati e socialmente pericolosi, che carpiscono tali esprimenti, teorie e informazioni per poi creare macchine da guerra o di tortura.

Gli scienziati sempre più vicini alla registrazione dei sogni (23 set 2011)
Posizionare dei sensori alla testa, dormire e vedere tutto ciò che si è sognato la mattina seguente. Sembra un’attività possibile solo nei film di fantascienza, invece, dei ricercatori dell’università di Berkeley si stanno avvicinando sempre di più verso questa tecnologia rivoluzionaria. Il sistema testato si chiama FMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) e analizza le onde celebrali. In pratica gli scienziati hanno creato un archivio con 18 milioni di secondi di video di YouTube. Quando il soggetto si fa analizzare e viene sottoposto a delle immagini il suo cervello produce delle onde. Le onde vengono confrontate con quelle registrate nella visione dei video di Youtube. Le onde simili, quindi, richiamano immagini simili. E’ molto probabile che la persona veda le stesse immagini producendo le stesse onde. Il perfezionamento di questa tecnologia potrà aiutare molto la ricerca medica.

It feels like high school bullying all over again. Being harassed everyday 24/7 by a bunch of spineless immature single cells. My pain and suffering is their amusement. I can't wait til they or their loved ones experience the same treatment. I like Confucious's golden rule. Do not impose on others what you and yourself would not desire.
The perps are using a virtual sandbox that allows them to serve a simulacrum of the real sites/pc/mobile being used.
They can control the settings, including deletion and addition of messages since they have full admin access. When the victim tries to secure the system and identifies the source of control, the system will malfunction, messages will be deleted, access will be denied.
This very program is being installed in the net cafes being used by the public.
Attendants and kids are selling the accounts of net customers to those who are willing to buy access to these accounts.
I've had enough.
The right you refuse to defend is the right you will someday need.
I'm just curious and want to know.
No more playing the victim role. Enough is enough. I'm a human being that has rights and value. I will not tolerate this injustice and bullsh*t. When I can collect enough evidence and prove my case I shall send all the people responsible for my pain and suffering straight to jail. Fighting back with a heavy lawsuit and I hope these evil bastards gets life in imprisonment.
Prior to going online, I prayed for God's leading and did some bible-cutting.
The first page I read here also dealt with the same message so I'll post the Chapter here:
Warnings and Encouragements
12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
Do Not Worry
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Watchfulness
35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Not Peace but Division
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”
...whose King is God.
Please shield me with your prayers as I do this.
They are gonna try to stop me and I'm in the midst of a crowd who will ensure that.
This one's for God.
http://enoughroomvideo.blogspot.fr/2009/08/impossible-mind-control-four-parts.html
I really need prayers from and with the faithful now.
...in the middle of a very critical discovery.
Whatever happens, please pray that God's will be done.
Lord , to you I commend and commit my spirit.
God, this is for you.
There are a lot of parallelisms in real life, I really need to pray for guidance that I may see everything with God's eyes, not mine.

The ARG as a new model for Rennes-le-Château phenomenon
THE ALTERNATE REALITY GAME AND THEORIES ABOUT THE TREASURE OF BÉRENGER SAUNIÈRE • MAY 2, 2008
In this short paper I will offer a new point of view from which to analyse the Rennes-le-Château phenomenon (1): I am suggesting that many modern approaches to the matter can be better interpreted as complex ARGs.
Background
The curious life of a Catholic priest, Bérenger Saunière, has been so far analysed through many biographies, and the surrounding geographical area, in the South of France, has been dug, studied and visited by thousands of tourists looking for treasures, positive vibrations or archaeological relics.
Despite some previous references to treasures in the surrounding area, as in most of the places in the world, the life of the priest showed some elements typical of his time (selling masses, political and religious struggles flown into the symbols in the decorations, etc.) but very little evidence of treasures found in the area (just uncontrolled gossip about possible sources of his wealth).
The absence of solid documentation about any treasure found by the priest led to the creation, by several different groups of people, during the 20th century of a number of false documents, artifacts and apocrypha. Modern researchers still haven't reached a consensus on the reasons for this happening.
The most frequently quoted example is the literary production of Pierre Plantard and Philippe de Chérisey, who created - and deposited in the French National Library in Paris - a great number of documents regarding the survival of a hidden Merovingian dynasty, whose heir is Plantard.
Both sceptics and believers fail to explain the reasons behind the impressive work of Plantard, who spent many years in defining his own mythology, which was in some ways coherent with historical facts and introducing unpublished elements supporting his alternate version of French history.
The core of the activity of many creators of historical artifacts and documents is the purpose of suggesting "alternate" versions of history, all of which are more romantic and "interesting" than the so-called "orthodox" version - the one given in academic papers. Just as in novels and movies, the alternate versions of the history of Rennes-le-Château describe its priest Bérenger Saunière as a member of secret societies, a wizard of old egyptian cults, and the area is full of hidden tombs, chests full of treasures and clues on their trail, all linked through complex geometries, anagrams, and mysterious inscriptions. All the characters involved show a double personality: the public and the esoteric one. The esoteric side is one which cannot be found in official biographies, but only through a reinterpretation of the clues found somewhere in the area surrounding Rennes-le-Château (e.g. Nicolas Poussin and Pope John XXIII, but even Jean Cocteau and Jesus Christ).
Alternate Reality Game
The idea of implanting false clues and documents in reality, pretending them to be real, is at the basis of the so-called ARGs (Alternate Reality Games). An ARG is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform, often involving multiple media and game elements, to tell a story that may be affected by participants' ideas or actions.
The form is typified by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real-time and evolves according to participants' responses, and characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers. Players interact directly with characters in the game, solve plot-based challenges and puzzles, and often work together within a community to analyze the story and coordinate real-life and online activities.
Modern ARGs generally use multimedia, such as telephones, e-mail and postal mail, but their model can be useful to interpret the birth and the development of large communities dealing with a single theme.
Alternate Reality and Rennes-le-Château
The ARG model is very useful to describe Plantard's activity: like many ARGs' creator, he defined an Alternate Reality typical of lost treasure novels, and created a large set of props (including maps, documents, genealogies, newspaper clips, etc.) which were implanted in the real world by depositing them in the French National Library or publishing in books (e.g. La Vraie Langue Celtique Belfond Edition, 1978).
The idea of implanting props in the real world is now achieved by publishing books or writing ads in newspapers. One of the most recent ARGs is The Lost Experience, designed by the writers and producers of Lost to engage fans and expand the storyline. According to a New York Times article, the game had been "a multimedia treasure hunt that makes use of e-mail messages, phone calls, commercials, billboards and fake Web sites that are made to seem real". What is more, there were no prizes to win, but the Experience claimed to offer clues that could unlock some of the island's many secrets.
All the elements of the ARG model can be easily recognised in Pierre Plantard's activity:
1) Puppetmaster
A puppetmaster is the individual involved in designing and/or running an ARG. His real identity may or may not be known ahead of time. Plantard was very good in unveiling some material without getting too much attention on him. The book Holy Blood Holy Grail confirmed his wish to keep himself hidden from the wider public, releasing his own material to create new interpretations from his explicit intervention on the discussions.
It would also be interesting to analyse his interventions on the debate raised upon his mythology, and a chronological approach to the evolution of his mythology from 1956 to 1989 (developed on his writings) could be extremely revealing.
2) The Curtain
The curtain is generally a metaphor for the separation between the puppetmasters and the players. This can take the traditional form of absolute secrecy regarding the puppetmasters' identities and involvement with the production, or refer merely to the convention that puppetmasters do not communicate directly with players through the game, interacting instead through the characters and the game's design. The secrecy of the Priory of Sion was the curtain behind which Plantard kept himself apart from the researchers, justifying the apparent incoherence of the mythology he offered in his writings.
3) Rabbithole
Also known as a Trailhead. A Rabbithole marks the first website, contact, or puzzle that starts off the ARG.
Pierre Plantard used (at least) four "rabbitholes": the first one was L'Or de Rennes (1967) by Gérard de Sède; the second one was the issue #18 of French review Le Charivari, published on 1973, written by Jean-Luc Chaumeil with his help; the third one was his preface to the Belfond edition of La Vraie Langue Celtique, published in 1978; the fourth and most important one was the book by Lincoln, Baigent and Leigh Holy Blood Holy Grail. Each of them revealed the following clues towards the alternate scenario of French history created by Pierre Plantard: the first one declared the survival of a hidden Merovingian blood-line in Rennes-le-Château area; the second one confirmed the existence of Priory of Sion and of a series of documents deposited at French National Library; the third one declared the existence of 12 chests full of treasures (each one linked to a zodiacal sign) around Rennes-les-Bains; the fourth one was the first attempt to sort out the material and provide an interpretation of the scenario.
It is interesting to see that Plantard implanted in Holy Blood Holy Grail some of his ideas through his authors, who were both players of his ARG and authors, together with him. Almost the same could be said about Gérard de Sède.
4) This Is Not A Game (TINAG)
Setting the ARG form apart from other games is the This Is Not A Game philosophy, which dictates that the game not behave like a game. Phone numbers mentioned in the ARG, for example, should actually work, and the game should not provide an overtly-designated playspace or ruleset to the players.
This is the strongest feature of ARGs - and also of Plantard's mythology, linking old myths with unpublished elements, so creating an alternate reality which mixed symbols and ideas in a syncretic way: Freemasonry, Catharism, Holy Heart-ism, Politics, Templarism... The scenario created by him was designed as a complex octopus, the study of which can be both disturbing or extremely funny.
So far, only a few researchers have supported the idea that Plantard's scenario was just an alternate version of history, supported by false documents and props created by him.
The problem of mixing reality with fantasy (and not being able to distinguish between real and fake artifacts) has some consequences, i.e. the inability of providing coherent scenarios and finding the hidden treasures many believers are looking for.
Evolution of Rennes-le-Château ARGs
Plantard's mythology is probably the most successful ARG in the history of Rennes-le-Château, but it is not the only one. Many other so-called "researchers" based their own studies on false documents, created with different purposes, and many Web forums are full of players discussing the theories raising from that material, fitting very well the TINAG aesthetic. The ads for the book by Patrice Chaplin City of Secrets used fake photos and letters by Bérenger Saunière in order to sell it, and some forums are still discussing the historical basis of the alternate reality described in its pages.
One of the most recent examples of ARG is the one created to support Bloodline - The movie. The use of YouTube and websites in support of the movie, the style of ads and the nature of the artifacts found (letters mimicking Saunière's calligraphy, Roman coins bought on Ebay and typical objects of treasure hunting, such as papers sealed in bottles) make of it one of the most typical Rennes-le-Château ARG in the age of Internet (probably more successful than André Douzet's attempt to link Rennes-le-Château mystery to Perillos through a model, strange letters by Saunière from Lyon and so on).
Like any other previous ARG, the Bloodline - The movie discoveries did not raise any interest from DRAC, the official archaeological body of France, and the discovery of the material announced in the movie was made without any official authorization; being just a theatrical stage, the fact is not strange.
There is no doubt about the fact these ARGs will always be successful in their purpose of providing deeply emotional and immersive experiences to the players. Most of the tourists in Rennes-le-Château are not only spectator, but - thanks to De Sède, Plantard, Lincoln, Wood, Douzet and so on - they are now real players in a game whose stage is more similar to the one in Indiana Jones movies than the real world. The ARGs described so far are clever enough in not defining a unique winner, because all of them suggest the existence of a secret knowledge which can be discovered and shared between "initiates".
Many of these ARGs are by now "self-supporting": the material published by Plantard, for example, is so complex that, with the help of new players and websites discussing the matters, new links will emerge in the future, "supporting" and enlarging the mythology. The absence of boundaries in Rennes-le-Château pseudohistoriography has already been analysed by the author.
Although some skeptical researchers label them as "bullshit", there's probably something more, from a psychological point of view, justifying their strong appeal.
Updates (May 2010)
On February 1st, 2010 Burcu S. Bakioglu published on her personal blog an interesting post titled "Rennes-le-Château, revisited". She disagrees with the point of view expressed in my original article, pointing at the flaws of my arguments and concluding:
...while the Rennes-le-Château phenomenon is an intriguing case, it cannot be considered to be an ARG.
Given the fact I strongly agree with her accurate analysis, I'm adding further notes to the previously published.
Her criticism is mainly directed towards the concept of "awareness" of ARG's players. As stated by Jane McGonigal in her article "A Real Little Game: The Performance of Belief in Pervasive Play":
...gamers maximize their play experience by performing belief, rather than actually believing, in the permeability of the game-reality boundary.
McGonigal's article focuses on the very difference between an intentional performance of belief and belief itself, and the same point is raised by Bakioglu in her article:
What makes Tomatis's argument untenable is that he bases most of his case on the representation of the fake documents as real. This assumption implies that the players, because the game claims not to be a game, believe that the game is indeed real. [...] One might ask, then, did the people who were engaged in the legend surrounding Saunière willingly suspend their belief and pretend to believe that the world suggested by these manufactured documents were in fact real? Or, did they genuinely think that the legend was real which would ultimately make it a hoax? I submit that this is one of the reasons why Tomatis identifies all the elements of ARGs in these legends surrounding the priest except the players. Because, clearly, that there were none. People who were trying to solve the mystery surrounding Saunière were thinking that they were genuinely involved in uncovering the truth… not about a game, rather, about a real incident that happened decades ago.
By reading Bakioglu's analysis, I concluded that my original article was lacking of a disclaimer revealing openly his defiant nature; the definition of Rennes-le-Château phenomenon as an ARG was intended to be provocative, because the goal was to "downgrade" dozens of so-called "researches" about the treasure of Bérenger Saunière to their real nature: just "moves" in a greater game, with no other purpose than the entertainment, in James P. Carse's conception of "infinite game". (2)
I agree with sadness to the fact that Rennes-le-Château Mystery Hunters are not aware of the fact of being playing an ARG, and I'm pretty sure that the phenomenon didn't start as a game: Pierre Plantard gave birth to it as a part of his political activity, but Philippe de Chérisey's contributions added a surrealistic and playful aura, including also puzzles and elements typical of games. From this point of view, I confirm Bakioglu's analysis: Rennes-le-Château phenomenon cannot strictly be considered an ARG, because not the creators, nor the players were/are aware of creating/playing a game.
Nevertheless, the idea of an "infinite immersive game", played with the goal of continuing play, fits perfectly the attitude of the average Rennes-le-Château Mystery Hunter, who reacts towards skeptics with the typical harassment of a player menaced by an external force willing to put a stop to the game: the Mystery Hunter wants the play to go on and on, and Rennes-le-Château scenario provides tons of elements to play with. Moreover, the "magic circle" can be always resized by players because the creator of the game is dead and any new element (a stone, a painting, an historical character) can be included for the purpose of prolonging the game.
The subtext of my article is the concern for the inability of being aware of the "ludic nature" of Rennes-le-Château phenomenon; the same problem was denounced by Umberto Eco in his Foucault's Pendulum, in which the main characters invent a great conspiracy for fun, calling their satirical intellectual game "The Plan"; when adherents of other conspiracy theories learn about The Plan, they take it seriously, and it leads to a tragic ending.
Commenting on the book Holy Blood Holy Grail, a milestone in "Rennes-le-Château Mystery Hunting", Eco wrote:
The bad faith of its authors is so self-evident that a vaccinated reader may enjoy the reading as if it was a role game. (3)
In citing this quotation in my recent book La magia dei numeri, I stressed the interesting fact that London's publishing house Jonathan Cape published Kit Williams' Masquerade (one of the first "armchair treasure hunts") in 1979 and Holy Blood Holy Grail in 1982: it is probably just a coincidence, but both books share the love for treasure hunting. But only the first with readers' awareness of its playful nature.

They illegally implanted things in my body without my consent. They steal and rape from my mind right down to physical torture and torment. They use a torture ware to conduct their evil activities. I get hungry, gag, itch, diarrhea, and other horrendous acts through this evil software. They hacked me in every aspect and controls me like a defenseless animal. I'm surprised no human rights group has intervened through this deliberate pain and suffering I had to endure for 8 bloody years. I have never asked anyone to violate my rights and freedom. I would never consent to any implants or whatever because it's just common sense. These evil perps are worst than nazi pigs. I am confident the Law of Karma will come back and haunt them in one way or another. They are like escaped prisoners waiting to get arrested and will suffer for their stupidity this life or the next.

1976, Priest, War Game
This may be the very first disclosure of a real Perp. Why they were a Perp, what their lives were like and what part they played in this whole gang stalking scenario. My father died September 2010. After he died, mysteriously I might add, I went through his "security room" and what I found was many different disquises..a priest uniform, a fed ex uniform, a UPS uniform, many different types of "wigs"...mens and womens wigs of different colors, 2 official looking police badges, a voice synthesizer (changes the tone of your voice to sound robotic), one CIA uniform shirt, silencers that were literally a foot long!, that went along with expensive hand guns, one court document (real court transcripts) of my father doing all these things like getting his ex girl friends electric, phone, cable ect shut off...this was all I had seen until my grandmother came up behind me and asked me to leave the room, which at that point I did not have much of a choice and I acted like it was all no big deal and left without acting suspicious. My grandmother has possession of all these materials (except the guns which she distributed among my male cousins) I will be uploading the court documents on here, as well as a few other papers, his notes I found after his death. Let me remind you that he was also gang stalked over the years and had been honestly fearful of the perpetrators himself. I suspect that he had "multi-personality". I am going to post this now because just writing about this gives me the shivers and makes me feel like it is an omen. God be with me in this time of disclosure...to be continued...Tammy Sauve'
We need to really FILTER what we are reading and process them according to our actual experiences and logic.
There are some ideas so far-out when we follow that line of thought they can easily use the "crazy" tack.
Real victims, please, let us all be careful.
They will try to do everything to confuse, to divert so they can use the obvious tack they always resort to, when caught - robbing us of our credibility.
Making our stories sound so incredulous they won't be given the time of day.
There are ideas beyond our area of consciousness which we may not yet understand depending on our training and exposure to such data, but thru rigorous research, we can prove.
There are stories though which are so far-out they are designed to bomb as hoaxes when brought out in the open.
Let us always filter.
Let us always do our due diligence.
Injustice here is injustice everywhere. We are one and everyone is connected in a very intricate way. Let all the victims of this torture and atrocity stand together so we can fight back. The law of karma states what goes around comes around. I have waited a long time for these evil bastards to get what's coming to them. If they do criminal acts against me who is a regular Joe what makes you think they won't come after you? My evil perps never show their ugly faces because they are a bunch of cowards. I would stand up for my rights and defend my freedom. Everyone that has ever been a victim of this evil system should unite and let us fight for our future, freedom and rights. I'm a prime example of stupid humans abusing technology. I am ready to start a lawsuit once I gather enough evidence. This is where our world is headed and if we don't do something about it now it will be too late. Join me in my crusade for justice and together we can defeat these clowns.
