From what I can ascertain from other individuals and my own perceptions and experiences, the goal of this program is to isolate and impoverish and cause the target to self-destruct or commit a violent crime, both of course, leading to the target's inevitable demise.

Trusted friends are often compromised and are turned against you.  This can either result in a benign or active betrayal, but a betrayal nevertheless.  This only increases the target's isolation, both physical and psychological.

This is difficult to overcome.  It leads to an inherent distrust of everyone, which can be quite psychologically debilitating.  It takes great strength to shrug off these betrayals and they should come as no surprise to any target, once it has occurred a few times. 

Promises are broken and lame and often transparent excuses are proffered. 

False friends enter the scene through a casual introduction or apparent happenstance.

One common thread I have experienced is total strangers offering multiple gifts.  This can be flattering, but this approach has been directed at me several times and it seems to be doctrinaire. When someone gives me a gift, I automatically enter a cautionary mode and go on high alert.

The targets' understandable  desire to alleviate their isolation will often cause the new "friend" to become accepted and occasionally treated as a confidant.

After this continues for a suitable period, the "friend" begins to ask questions of an exploratory nature, personal questions pertaining to childhood experiences, political leanings, personal beliefs, or relationships one may have had, as some, but of course not all, examples.  These questions are invariably out of the heretofore normal context of the newly established relationship.

At the very first question, the target should immediately discontinue all contact with this individual to preserve what little privacy one may still retain.

When this happens to me, I will examine it and initially recoil from it, and that "here we go again" feeling arrives with a bang.

So I consider it, fight the sense of loss and betrayal it initially creates, sit back, take a careful inventory of any information the "friend" has gleaned, light up a good cigar, and add it to a long list of lessons learned.

I have found, though not a religious man, but one with strong spiritual faith in my higher power, that reading some of King David's psalms helps me quite a bit and helps me retain faith in myself.

I have a motto that I live by.  "If there is any doubt, there is no doubt."

Trust your gut.  Follow your instincts.  It is a lonely world we inhabit, filled with treachery and deceit.  But there is also great beauty around us.  I draw strength and solace from that beauty.  I will prevail.

Interesting street theater the other night.  Some white trash sleazebag began doing bizarre stuff in the Walmart parking lot.  He was actually funny to watch.  Haven't experienced any street theater for many months since I put the fear of God into a couple of these low-rent recruits.  I can only assume the handlers buy these pukebags for a liter of cheap whiskey or a little money and send them out to perform their little comedy act.  Little do they know they could very well end up staring at the muzzle of a 12 gauge.  But, what the hell...that's life in the trenches.  I don't worry about it and useful idiots abound.

Disinformation

• It costs them little to disseminate disinformation, but you'll find it very costly.
• Disinformation spreads because it gives the recipients what they want. What you want is vindication, validation, and public acceptance. Beware information that plays on these desires.
• Are you experimenting on them and testing the boundaries of your prison? Or are they toying with you?

(Above taken off a blog.)

Matter of fact, both is happening.  I know this:  they feel fear, and when you strike fear into their pitiful hearts, they usually retaliate significantly.

A skeptical look at skepticism

• Real skepticism is great.
• A select group of public relations specialists - and a community of online bullies - have adopted the language of skepticism to get what they want. They're not sincere. Recognize them for what they are.
• Distraction and misdirection are the tools of magicians as well as intelligence agencies. The skeptic community has been put to work attacking corporate- and government- created straw men, discrediting the real issues by association; they've been played.

More thefts.  Two pair of Cabela's cargo shorts.  Getting warm here and that's all I wear in the summer.  Scumbags are trying to nickle-dime me to death.  Plus they already got several pair of white Gold Toe socks I wear with the shorts.  Cotton and cool in the heat. Fuck 'em.  They can ESAD.  And extremely painfully, I fervently hope.

BTW, any anti-gun libs out there can kiss my ass.  Florida's Stand Your Ground law keeps these scumbags from getting too close.  They have been stalking me from vehicles, with one exception (and I scared the shit out of him) for over a year. Thanks to that law for forcing them to keep their distance, and regardless of the bullshit you read in the drive-by media, that law ain't going anywhere.

Nobody's reading this damned thing so I wonder why I write it.
