Dark Money and Its Ties to Electronic Targeted Physical Assaults and the Targeted Individual

In February 2009, less than one month after Barrack Obama was sworn in as president, Obama would enjoy an approval rating of over 60 percent. His administration, however, would be under fire from the kind of guerrilla warfare waged against many democratic presidents who assumed presidential office. Virtually every Democratic president since Franklin Roosevelt to Barrack Obama has had political campaigns waged against them. Perhaps, some might say, Obama faced even fiercer factions. It is during this time we see the creation of a new political movement of a small number of people with massive resources orchestrating, manipulating, and exploiting the economic unrest for their own purposes. Hence, the Tea Party. However, the Tea Party was not a new strain of American politics, it was part of the same old ideological thinkers who joined right-wing movements from the Liberty League to Scaife’s Arkansas Project. One thing remained undeniable during Obama’s administration, the element of racial resentment that tinged many Tea Party rallies was the same old and disgracefully enduring story of American politics. What Obama was up against was a new form of permanent campaigning not waged by politicians but by people whose wealth gave them the ability to fund their own private field operations with which they could undermine the outcome of the election. And the phenomenon of electronically targeted physically assaulted and psychotronic torture of the “mentally ill individual” seems to mimic this same crisis in white masculinity. It is just another way those with economic resources, political and business connections find a way to fund their own private field operations for private interests.

Changing gears from presidential politics to state and municipal politics, it was around this time I began my first intimate experience with psychotronic torture. It has been suggested that the year, 2009, was the year the phenomenon of the Targeted Individual manifested itself. How much attention is paid, by the individual, to the unrivaled role of outside money and how it can influence how private interests are carried out and governed in those with political, financial, and social power? It is only those whose interests make it absolutely necessary to keep abreast on the political and business activities of one’s enemies and their corporate interests, their friends with the spending power, political connections, and corporate/business interest and how those interests connect to media power and broadcast manipulations.

Imagine the kind of power that could be unmasked if the conservative political machine, outside the traditional political machine, could control outcomes by being funded by unlimited private fortunes? According to the book “Dark Money: the hidden history of the billionaires behind the rise of the radical right” by Jane Mayer, a self-financed militia could be called into action without transparency, legal restrictions, or accountability to circumvent “problems.” Reading this book one makes eery connections to the role a narcissist plays in the downfall of the weak and vulnerable.

According to the book, “much attention was paid to the portion of this spending that was directed at elections. Less attention was paid to the equally unrivaled role that outside money played in influencing the way the country was governed.” In this way, America’s attention is focused on putting the vote back into the people’s hands and not on the unrivaled role outside money plays in influencing outcomes. It has become a battle between financial and political power and corporate business interest and one where the individual’s vote no longer counts for much anymore.

What I found offensive was the manner in which the House Republicans chose to fight the new Democratic president in 2009. “In January 2009 the model the House Republicans chose to emulate was the Taliban,” states Jane Mayer. “The House campaign committee held up Afghanistan’s infamous Islamic extremists as providing an example of how they could wage ‘asymmetric warfare.’” Compare this political strategy to electronic targeted weapons and the use of psychotronic torture in cases of the gang stalked and one can make an adequate description of the new reign of terrorism, no longer foreign but now domestic, and how it has come to spread itself across the United States like an unbeknownst plague claiming the lives of the innocent through the use of electronic targeted physical assaults and psychotronic torture; military tactics fashioned to emulate Afghanistan’s Islamic extremists.

On December 12, 2016, Dr. Seth Farber wrote an essay, “The Psychiatric Metanarrative, Targeted Individuals and the Deep State” on the discrediting of TIs using a pseudo-scientific psychiatric narrative which dismisses all of them as non-compliant “psychotics, and egregiously asserts the innocence of the deep state.” A quotation from The American Public Informs President Obama’s Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues About Ongoing Non-Consensual Human Experimentation in the USA:

“Neuroscientists, in particular, know that we stand today on the tip of a massive revolution in human affairs with the new knowledge of remote influencing technologies capable of manipulating the human body and human brain. So do the Military and Intelligence agencies. Who will speak and act today on behalf of all humanity? Who will step forward in this country to investigate, prosecute, and terminate ALL non-consensual human experimentation ongoing today? Will the real bioethicists please stand up?”

Like the concealed legendary myth of Greek mythology, Metis’ incorporation by Zeus, hidden within the ancient play of Aeschylus’ Oresteia, the myth narrative helps explains the function of incorporation in psychoanalysis of matricide as opposed to the mechanism of introjection, the function of mourning. Myth political narratives are the creative narratives by those in positions of political, economic, and social power who attempt to conceal a mistruth or lie through phantasmagorical garb. Like the myth, “Ruth Bader Ginsburg screwed us all,” it eclipses the truth by way of concealment and lies about the true reason American political power is corrupt. The Republican majority leadership in both the House and the Senate. Myths that conceal, even at the local level, the marriage between small businesses (doctors), corporate businesses (advancing technologies), and deep state government statism and corruption.

To compare the analysis of white masculinity in American history, the development of the crisis in white masculinity coincides with developments like the end of the Western frontier and disappearing opportunities for economic independence in an era of business bureaucratization. And where Griffin (1990) is unpersuaded that the impact of these trends on particular groups within the middle class is arguable and, in any case not shown.

In his cultural history of American manhood, sociologist Michael Kimmel (1996) points to several co-extensive phenomena which he argues cracked the foundation upon which manhood had been grounded. These included: (1) industrialization, (2) the entry into the public sphere a significant number of women, (3) Emancipation of the blacks, (4) a massive influx of immigrants, and (5) the closing of the Western frontier. Once again, the meaning of manhood was uncertain. Comparing the aspect of uncertainty within this historical context and in light of Jane Mayer’s information in “Dark Money,” we can come to an understanding of how the impact of “feeling frightened and cut loose from traditional moorings of their identities, adrift in some anomic sea” may lead to a crisis of white masculinity, indeed of any gender and ethnicity.

Rituals of initiation of men into popular fraternal orders and aggressive reactionary politics are nothing new and still maintain their presence in American culture and we can further compare these fraternal brotherhoods to initiations and rituals found in gang memberships as well as the phenomenon of gang stalking, electronic targeted physical assaults, and psychotronic torture. Might the depletion of economic business opportunities and marketing niches birthed the phenomenon of gang stalking, electronic targeted physical assault, psychotronic torture, and the new business of electronic service security surveillance?
