FFCHS NEWS
JUNG FREED
On Tuesday, November  18,  IL Jung went to see a psychiatric nurse at Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, New York.  What happened was Jung had sent the mayor and New York City Council members some information about our issues.  He received a letter back instructing him to go to Coney Island Hospital to speak to someone there. This frightened Jung, so he contacted me as to what to do. I then alerted the other New Yorkers, who readily agreed to accompany Jung to his meeting. 

The perps apparently had heard of this plan and on the day of his meeting, the person he was to speak to called off that day and the meeting was postponed til the next day.  This meant that the 5 or 6 people that had planned to attend would not be able to because they had to return to work.  However, Tim White was able to accompany Jung to his meeting.  He explained the electromagnetic weaponry to the nurse who readily was sympathetic and understood his situation. 

Organization in Action
Because Jung is from Korea, it would have been difficult for him to explain electromagnetic targeting to a skeptical hospital worker and would likely have been kept at this hospital for further observation - again!  Yes, he has been previously institutionalized for this issue - as has Tim.  So naturally he was afraid it would happen again.  And as someone from another country, he felt vulnerable. Instead, because Tim went with him and explained the situation, he was able to leave that place and return home. 

A CASE FOR LOCAL ORGANIZING
Here is the third instance lately that shows us that local organizing can produce results. Sharon received sympathy and leniency from a judge because of support received from the community. Jaye in Tennessee also received support from the Rape Crisis Center and her City Council representatives after speaking to them about our issues. Bob in San Diego sent letters to his city council after hearing about Jaye's activities and received a reply from the police chief.  Letters are fine, but I'd recommend scheduling an in-person appointment for a group of TI's for ideal results. 

Local officials have a duty to protect its citizens that they take far more seriously than Congress does because Congress deals with national issues.  That they recommend that we contact our local police to address our concerns is not entirely neglect.  If we were to garner the support of one or more of our local elected officials there is a lot that they could do to help, such as
  • Sending someone from the health department to measure rf levels in the home environment and if we can point to a source such as an adjacent apartment or next door, they could investigate and maybe even cite the person if the problem persists.  Congress couldn't do that.
  • Your local officials would add extra patrols to your area if they perceive some of you feel threatened by stalkers and get the police working for you rather than against you.
  • They may even address medical issues if they see that enough of you are being affected to warrant attention, particularly if there is a risk to public health and safety. 
  • They could also issue instructions to the Mental Health Department that would shield us from being forcibly committed to the psych wards for complaining of hearing voices.
All this could happen if a concerted, persistent effort were mounted in a particular location.  I believe that all of these these goals are entirely achievable by our group. It has been shown already that they can listen and believe us. We, as a group, just need to let them know what's going on.

UPDATE: GLENDA
Because of the proximity of the court hearing, Glenda is trying to get a continuance to get more time work on her case. 

SHAN IN NEW ORLEANS
For those in the New Orleans area, Shan also has a hearing coming up on December 11 and needs the support of our community against the actions of neighbors who have plotted against her.  Anyone who could attend, please contact her at:

1st LA TI Meeting – 11/15/08 

Wanda Dablin’s Home

8 in Attendance

Next meeting scheduled for December 13, 2008 – Location TBA

Meeting started late because of the fires.  Traffic very heavy.  I started the meeting by handing out a member list for all members to note email, phone number and addresses.  I also handed out a copy of the article from the New York Times, pens & notebooks for everyone.

Kevin Bond spoke first telling a brief summary of his story.  Along with Kevin Bond there are a total of 300 victims in the Palm Springs area.  Kevin would like to see all of us join forces.  Kevin Bond is aware of his perpetrators and is bringing an Investigative Group from back East to help.

 We decided that we needed to set a list of rules for our meetings in order to stay focused on our activism.

 We discussed what our goals are:

  • Collecting evidence – Evidence Pattern – Comparing individual stories.  Everyone is to bring their story summary to the next meeting.
  • Educating the PublicDistribution of Flyers
  • Determining each members special skills
  • What can we do to be a witness for one another?

Thank you to everyone for attending the 1st LA TI meeting and a special thanks to Barbara Blair for her generous gift of $50.00 for my work at the conference and to Julius White for his generous gift of $25.00 for opening my home up for the conference and meeting.


RECAP OF TI MEETING IN SAN JOSE
Today, Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 1:00pm there was a TI meeting at the main library in San Jose, California.  We began holding these weekly TI discussion and support meetings in August.  There were 2 TIs in attendance.  One brought his famous chocolate-peanut butter cookies.
 
The discussion focused on suicide survivors (those who were close to suicide victims).  After some not-inconsiderable research on the internet on this topic an excellent DVD was found entitled "Fierce Goodbye."  Hosted by Joan Collins this documentary includes commentary by psychologists and clergy and was found to be very helpful and very healing in dealing with a loss due to suicide.
 
The discussion turned to strategies for dealing with serious emotions resulting from crises in people's lives.  One of us avoids getting sucked into harboring deep resentment toward perpetrators and becoming obsessed with certain aspects of targeting.  The other notes that such emotions should be dealt-with instead of being repressed, thus processing these feelings by allowing them to run their rein.
 
And once again mention was made of the 90's TV series "Nowhere Man" which exhibits uncanny parallels to what TIs are experiencing, and the fact that there are quite a few movies that seem to touch upon issues relating to OS/EH.
 
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to receive more information on the weekly TI support and discussion meetings we're having contact me at the contact info listed below.

'Stealing' Keys by Camera Proven Easy

Nov. 19, 2008 -- Hide those keys. A quick camera phone picture could unlock your doors.

Scientists in California have developed a software algorithm that automatically creates a physical key based solely on a picture of one, regardless of angle or distance. The project, called Sneakey, was meant to warn people about the dangers of haphazardly placing keys in the open or posting images of them online.

"People will post pictures with their credit cards but with the name and number greyed out," said Stefan Savage, a professor at the University of California, San Diego who helped develop the software. "They should have the same sensitivity with their keys."

When Savage and his students searched online photo sharing Web sites, like Flickr, they easily found thousands of photos of keys with enough definition to replicate. A more social person could simply use their cell phone camera to snap a quick picture of stray keys on a table top.

For a more dramatic demonstration, the researchers set up a camera with a zoom lens 200 feet away. Using those photos, they created a working key 80 percent on their first try. Within three attempts they opened every lock.

              Why The U.S. Intel Community Is Intent On
                 Murdering Victims Of Non Consensual
                           Experimentation
                                  
As I stated a few weeks back, the router software in my computer ceased to function as a
result of the FEDS' electronic intrusion. Today, I was visited by the friend of some family
friends, and he got the system back online within a matter of minutes.
                                  
However, there still appears to be a virus on this computer. Ironically enough, this
person has recently become a Long Island police officer. Given the FEDS attacks on my
person, I will not list his name here for his own safety. Although the FEDS most certainly
                           know who he is.
                                  
He took the other computer with him and is presently repairing it; the computer that I
was on occasion using to access the Web while the router for my computer was out of
service. We spoke for a short while in a conversation loaded with psychological triggers,
as he was moving from room to room to work on both of these systems.
                                  
I told him that with the way that the FEDS attack the software on this computer, it
makes little sense to purchase a new one -- I have read of many other TI's who have
reported having brand new computer systems destroyed within days of purchasing them
because of "federal agents" who did not want them promulgating their
information in regard to their COINTELPRO harassment versus the Internet.
                                  
This is typical of the collective mind-set of these New World Order Nazi's who are
electronically accessing and manipulating our thoughts by way of computer to brain link
technology, while demonizing us in efforts to obscure their own crimes.
                                  
The FEDS are so arrogant in their beliefs that they can decimate the Constitution at
anytime they care to, and find plausible reasons in which to do so, that it is this
arrogance that is going to eventually lead to their own ru
                                  
                     Insanity Of U.S. Intel Agents
                                  
The FEDS are quite clever when it comes to representing TI's to the public as being
mentally imbalanced. However, it is these agents who are of a criminal and psychotic
mindset; one in which they utilize psychological warfare and entrapment in which to
incarcerate those citizens whom they cannot arrest legally.
                                  
This system has become so much of a sham, that these agents now have those with
whom we are in daily contact taking part in such depraved acts of cruelty; those who are
being used as pawns in which to do the FEDS' dirty work or them.
                                 
Those who are not only acting in a criminal capacity, but whose prime agenda is the
dissemination of lies. In reality, it is only the TI's themselves who are promulgating
accurate information in regard to these attacks; those who have been denied their rights
by these cold hearted and treasonous lying bastards.
                                 
Conspiratorial lies so outlandish that to witness such torture first hand is the only way in
which to truly understand the gravity of these situations and what such lawlessness by
                these agencies portends in the future.
                                  
When an Intelligence agency attempts to decimate a citizen's rights in this country, it is
the agency itself which is in the commission of a criminal conspiracy. Not the person
whose rights are being violated in such egregious ways.

        A Conspiracy So Immense That U.S. Intel Must Murder Us
                                  
A few years back, I had just become familiar with John St. Clair Akwei's lawsuit against
the NSA; information so disturbing as it applies to the NSA's satellite predation of the
general public, that I sent this information on to the American Civil Liberties Union.
                                  
Within months, the ACLU had quietly filed a Freedom Of Information Act request
looking to gain any information in regard to radiation technology that several Intel
               agencies may have been given access to.
                                  
And while the ACLU may claim that my E-mail had nothing to do with this
information request, I do find it quite interesting that the request was made
                only after my E-mail was sent to them.
                                  
The following is a quote from Dr. Nick Begich's excellent book on the U.S. Federal
Government's use of covert mind control research. The book is entitled: "Controlling
                 the Human Mind; The Technologies of
          Political Control or Tools for Peak Performance."
                                  
"'The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on June 26, 2006, filed a Freedom of
Information Request with the Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Intelligence
Agency, (DIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking information on 'the use of functional

FROM BRUNO
Wanted to share a beautiful memorial about the blind TI who recently committed suicide that was read at the FFCHS LA conference a couple of weeks ago.
 
The Rena I Knew
I do not normally bond with people very easily; however, when I first met Rena at the San Jose TI support group I felt a bond with her nearly instantaneously. I cared very much for her even though we had just met. Altogether, I only knew her for about 7 weeks, but how long does it take for one to develop deep feelings of caring, compassion, concern, and affection for another person?
 
The Rena I knew was of a person possessing a very healing presence. She spoke and interacted with genuine compassion and feeling. As a TI for roughly 4 years now, I have developed a great hunger for the milk of human kindness, to once again simply experience the luxury of interacting with a fellow human being on a soulful level without fear of being deceived, humiliated, or otherwise made to feel upset. Rena provided that kindness for me, and I did all I could to give it back to her.
 
During the TI support group meetings, Rena would often become tearful as a result of the pain and cruelty inflicted upon her by the DEW and OS. In spite of this, she never had any harsh words for those responsible for it. She only expressed a desire to communicate with them and to understand why they were doing it.
 
Rena was the type of soul that this world desperately needed. She had a heart full of love, goodness, and an unflinching desire to help others. As a manifestation of her character, she earned a Master's Degree in Social Work at the University of Minnesota. As part of her training, she had worked crisis phone lines herself, dealing with suicidal individuals and counseling them away from suicide and towards life. In the end, neither her own knowledge and training in dealing with these situations or my apparently weak attempts to support her made any difference in her situation. Her pain, she must have believed, was simply too great for her to go on.
 
When I heard the news of her suicide, I had what I would call a breakdown of sorts, cried for hours, lamented my loss, and called in sick to work the whole next week. Since returning to work, I have gone home early three times as a direct result of my grief and pain. On those days that I have been able to complete my work shift, I have cried at some point during that shift, usually towards the end when I have become tired and my defenses have been worn down by my night-long battle against the hurt and devastation of having lost someone extremely important to me.
 
The only thing that gives me comfort and keeps me sane is the belief that she is now being tended to and cared for by our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
 
In all sincerity,
David R. Bullivant

FROM DR. NICK BEGICH
Dear Inquirer,

I am completing my work with the Lay Institute on Technology Incorporated and hope to be wrapped up soon. At this point we are organizing our records in preparation to transfer them to my successor. It has been good working with Ms. Lay but it is time to focus on other projects that I have an interest in. I will no longer being publishing on the mind effects issues except where they involve enhancing or improving human performance. I will continue to conduct radio programs and some interviews. After Rupert Sheldrake being stabbed in Santa Fe in May, and my being stalked at the same conference by another "victim", new lectures are not being scheduled in the future. Any future lectures I give will be limited to other areas of a more positive nature.

Please take me off of your list and advise your friends to do the same. If you do not have a list I am sending you this to request that you no longer send me e-mails about your particular issue  as I am no longer dealing with any aspect of the "victims" of technology.

An endless stream of "victims" have harassed me, stalked me and taxed my time and resources to the point of exhaustion. I will no longer respond to these inquires and will not deal with the issue as a cause. I leave it to others to sort out. I have done enough. Good luck in your efforts.

Dr. Nick Begich


NATIONAL NEWS

Alleged assailant says he's not crazy

With a punk-style hairdo, a wisp of facial hair and a usually serious demeanor, Kazuki Hirano didn't look like the kind of guy who could have plunged a knife into someone's leg.

During an interview Tuesday at the county jail, Hirano was thin and drawn in his orange jail jumpsuit as he read from his carefully crafted notes, struggled with the English language and explained that his closest relative, his 65-year-old mother in Japan, is unable to help him.

The 34-year-old ex-laborer from Yokohama, Japan, has been jailed since April 2 for allegedly stabbing Rupert Sheldrake, a British biologist famous for his experiments in mental telepathy.

In telephone conversations, letters and two interviews at the Santa Fe County jail, Hirano has insisted he is a "guinea pig" in Sheldrake's mind-control experiments using "remote mental telepathy."

A plea bargain that would have freed him from jail and allowed him to be deported to Japan was withdrawn Sept. 12 after Sheldrake told the court in a telephone call from London he is afraid if Hirano is released without psychiatric treatment, he will continue to stalk him. Some have compared the case to the 1980 murder of musician John Lennon by his obsessed fan, Mark David Chapman.

State District Judge Michael Vigil ordered Hirano undergo a 60-day psychiatric diagnostic evaluation in Los Lunas. Vigil also set jury selection in a trial on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon for Oct. 21, with opening arguments to begin in late October or early November.

Sheldrake's lawyer, Steven Farber, said Hirano's court-appointed defense attorney might be gambling the charges will be dismissed because witnesses are unwilling to return to Santa Fe from distant parts of the world to testify. Sheldrake has agreed to return for the trial.

"Rupert's bottom line is, again, not necessarily incarceration or anything like that," Farber said. "He just is concerned about his safety."

In the interview last week, Hirano said his first few days in jail were terrifying until a guard who speaks Japanese explained to him that he was being observed around the clock because he was on a suicide watch.

He had no complaints about his treatment, but said the Japanese interpreters assigned to his case cannot translate simultaneously, and he is confused by the American legal system. A psychiatric counselor in the jail has told him he is neither psychotic nor schizophrenic, he said, but the counselor cannot testify in court and another psychiatrist will have to make a legal diagnosis. Hirano said he is not inclined to see another counselor who might judge him more harshly.

"I can't believe that people (are) saying I am schizophrenic," he said. "They are not even psychiatrists."

Hirano said he became convinced his thoughts were being controlled four or five years ago when he began to feel hypnotized while he was homeless in the Camden Town district of London. He said a man named "Doctor Tony" in London's Stockwell district told him Sheldrake was conducting experiments in mind control on the homeless. Hirano said he didn't believe this at first but came to accept it after reading about Sheldrake on the Internet. He said he now believes the American military is developing remote mental telepathy to combat terrorism.

Hirano said he quit his "labor job" in Yokohama earlier this year and traveled to Santa Fe to attend the 10th International Conference on Science and Consciousness at La Fonda to ask Sheldrake and others there how to block mental telepathy.

"I'm asking him how to stop telepathy remote," he said. "He is kind of lying to me, and he is laughing and kind of smiling like he looks at me stupid and then walks away."

Hirano said others at the conference advised him to try Tai Chi and other Chinese practices that are "spiritual but not very scientific." He said he suspects no one will tell him how to block mental telepathy because they are making money from the experiments.

The degree to which his mind is controlled varies in intensity, Hirano said. When pressed on whether he still thought mental telepathy was being used on him, he said "probably."

Asked if he stabbed Sheldrake, Hirano avoided a straight answer — apparently aware that he should not admit guilt — but insisted he wasn't thinking about stabbing anyone when he carried a hunting knife into the conference.

Sheldrake "is very paranoid and scared of someone to hurt him or kill him or maybe I'm going to do it, but I am not, and I think no one will hurt him," he said.

Hirano said he just wants to go home to Japan. If he is released, he said he will leave Sheldrake alone and begin to investigate on his own how to block mental telepathy. "So I don't go to any (place) Sheldrake is doing something. It's kind of wasting my time. Better to find out what I can ... get a job and finish my problem. I don't want to have a problem with him."

He added that if he can prove Sheldrake "is really doing terrible things and testing the public ... and I can find out how to block it, I'll put on the Internet."

Mind control not a farce, claim people across Canada
Issue of thought control in court stirs strong response

For most people the idea that brain computer interface technology is influencing our thoughts is nothing less than fantastical science fiction.

But such claims made in court by a Nanaimo man, Jerry Rose, appear to be widespread.

One Toronto woman, after seeing the story on Wednesday about a Nanaimo judge reserving his decision to dismiss the case, said in an e-mail that she has been "involved in this type of technology for 15 years" and Rose's claim is "based on solid research."
Another e-mail received on Wednesday stated, "I know perfect mind control exists. I like that Mr. Rose is winning his case, because it would be the first time acknowledged that 'actions' can be absolutely involuntarily!"

Even before Rose went to court, people interested in his case were calling the Daily News.

A woman from Belgium who identified herself as Monica Stoces said she wanted to elaborate on Rose's claims.
"It seems to be a kind of silent epidemic and I'm really not crazy," she said in a message.

An e-mail sent by Stoces in August identified "the most extreme and totalitarian violations of human rights in human history, including the most horrendous incidences of psychological torture, rapes, sexual abuse, surgical mutilations, and other mental and physical mutilations."

Victims, said the e-mail, are known as "targeted individuals."
Marshall Soules, chairman of media studies at Vancouver Island University, said that whether the technology exists or not, the effort at manipulating what people think has been a fact of life for at least 80 years.

"It's called propaganda," said Soules. "Whether people see it as brainwave technology -- if you are convinced of high technology manipulation -- and replace with the message, it has the same effect."

He cited works by Walter Lippman and Edward Bernays on what Lippman later called manufacturing consent.
Soules did not discount the possibility that such technology was possible, and even said it sounds very familiar.

"That would be a definition of television and the Internet," said Soules.

While Soules said there is no scientific evidence of such technology, he also said that seems to make no difference, claiming many people are incapable of independent thinking.
"The only thing missing in this picture is the machine; clearly the affect is there," said Soules.
