Psychological and Physical Torture: Bush Administration, Liquid Diet, Acid-Base Imbalance, Pain
CNN Article and Bush Administration Torture
"To violate the statute, an individual must have the specific intent to inflict severe pain or suffering,"
"Because specific intent is an element of the offense, the absence of specific intent negates the charge of torture. ... We have further found that if a defendant acts with the good faith belief that his actions will not cause such suffering, he has not acted with specific intent,"
The intent is to use force and harm, torture, and claim that there is no specific intent to escape prosecution.
Another intent is to use people’s ignorance that psychological torture is not harmful or does not inflict suffering.
“Other memos allowed the use of such tactics as keeping a detainee naked and in some cases in a diaper, and putting detainees on a liquid diet…"Detainees subject to sleep deprivation who are also subject to nudity as a separate interrogation technique will at times be nude and wearing a diaper,"”
High levels of stress, sleep deprivation, and liquid diets all reduce macrominerals like potassium in the body which leads to acid-base disorders.
Degrading themes and humiliation were also used.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/16/us.torture.documents/index.html
Macrominerls and Potassium
Macrominerals are very important as electrolytes and the body uses electrolytes to maintain acid-base balance, fluid balance (homeostasis), and for normal neurological, myocardial, nerve, and muscle function. Potassium is very important and involved in electrolyte balance and acid-base balance.
High levels of stress, sleep deprivation, and a liquid diet and diarrhea leads to acid-base imbalance and acidic blood pH. The body uses a buffering system and macrominerals like calcium from bone to regulate the imbalance and this leads to macromineral deficiencies.
Macromineral deficiencies such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium can cause serious disorders such as physical symptoms muscle pain, muscle cramps, muscle spasms, tremors, and complications of the heart and abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias), cardiac arrest or heart failure, and cancer.
Stress, Adrenaline, Aldosterone
The adrenaline produced from stress, provocation, fear, and torture can reduce the amount of potassium in the body.
An over active adrenal gland caused by high levels of stress can release a hormone called aldosterone into the blood stream causing large quantities of potassium to be excreted into the urine. Aldosterone also causes the excretion of magnesium into the urine.
Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation leads to acid-base imbalance or acidic blood pH.
Body acidity increases when the level of acidic compounds in the body rises due to the increased intake, production, or decreased elimination of acid compounds or when the level of basic (alkaline) compounds in the body falls due to decreased intake, production, or increased elimination of alkaline compounds.
Liquid Diets and Diarrhea
Liquid diets and diarrhea are known for reducing potassium in a person's system.
Potassium levels become low when too much is lost from the digestive tract or excreted in urine. other causes include adrenal disorders (induced by stress such as Cushing's syndrome). hypomagnesemia (low magnesium), vomiting, diarrhea.
Cancer
Sleep deprivation results in a lack of body and DNA repair, which can lead to cancer.
Macromineral and mineral deficiencies also weaken the body's immune system by reducing its ability to eliminate toxins from the body, which can lead to cancer.
Vitamin D deficiency is also linked to a weakened immune system, the killer t-cells, which can lead to cancer.
Potassium
Potassium is necessary for the normal functioning of cells, neurons (brain), nerves, and muscles. A potassium level that is too high or too low can have serious consequences such as an abnormal heart rhythm and can even stop the heart (cardiac arrest).
Hypokalemia is when the level of potassium in blood is too low.
Potassium levels become low when too much is lost from the digestive tract or excreted in urine. other causes include adrenal disorders (induced by stress such as Cushing's syndrome). hypomagnesemia (low magnesium), vomiting, diarrhea, aldosteronism due to a tumor in the adrenal glands, Gitelman's syndrome, Liddle syndrome, Bartter syndrome, Fanconi syndrome, the use of diuretics, an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), and Insulin.
Symptoms: A decrease in potassium can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, muscle aches and pains, twitches (tetany), secures, complications of the heart and abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias).
Calcium
“the body moves calcium out of bones into blood as needed to maintain a steady level of calcium in the blood. If people do not consume enough calcium, too much calcium is mobilized from the bones, weakening them. Osteoporosis can result.”
Hypocalcemia is when the calcium level in blood is too low.
Hypocalcemia most commonly results when too much calcium is lost in urine. (corticosteroids)
A low calcium level may result from malnutrition, kidney disorders, parathyroid glands, certain drugs,hypomagnesemia (low magnesium) which reduces the activity of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D deficiency, disorders that decrease calcium absorption, and corticosteroids (synthetically prepared to have the same action as cortisol (cortisone)).
Symptoms: Hypocalcemia and Hypercalcemia can affect the brain and may cause neurologic and psychological symptoms, such as confusion, memory loss, emotional disturbances, depression, delirium, hallucinations, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, seizures, coma, kidney stones, muscle weakness, muscles aches and pain, muscle spasms (tetany), heart complications and abnormal rhythms, and possibly result in death.
Magnesium
Hypomagnesemia is when the level of magnesium in blood is too low.
Hypomagnesemia may result from malnutrition, kidneys or intestine excrete too much magnesium, consuming large amounts of alcohol, diarrhea, high levels of aldosterone (stress and adrenal gland disorders), antidiuretic or thyroid hormones, diuretics, and breastfeeding (some women experience depression after birth).
Symptoms: Hypomagnesemia can affect the brain and may cause neurologic and psychological symptoms, such as confusion, sleepiness, memory loss, emotional disturbances, depression, delirium, hallucinations, seizures (especially in children), nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, muscles aches and pain, muscle spasms and tremors (tetany), abnormal heart rhythms, and possibly result in death.
Acid-Base Balance (acid-base imbalance and acidic blood pH)
A pH of 7.0 is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic with a pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. Below < 7.35 the blood is considered acidic. Above > 7.45 the blood is considered alkaline.
An important property of blood is its degree of acidity or alkalinity. The body's balance between acidity and alkalinity is referred to as acid-base balance. An imbalanced pH can cause low energy levels, cause weight gain, premature aging, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and many other health problems. "If pH becomes too acid or too alkaline, cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die". Body acidity increases when the level of acidic compounds in the body rises due to the increased intake, production, or decreased elimination of acid compounds or when the level of basic (alkaline) compounds in the body falls due to decreased intake, production, or increased elimination of alkaline compounds. Body alkalinity increases with the opposite processes. Even a minor deviation from the normal range of acid-base balance can severely affect many organs.
The body’s pH buffer systems are combinations of the body's own naturally occurring weak acids and weak bases. The pH buffer systems work chemically to minimize changes in the pH of the body and to adjusting the proportion of acid and base.
The body regulates the acidity of the blood by four buffering mechanisms:
Bicarbonate buffering system.
Intracellar buffering by absorption of hydrogen atoms by various molecules such as proteins, phosphates, and carbonate in bone.
Respiratory compensation
Renal compensation
There are two abnormalities of acid-base balance.
Acidosis, the blood has too much acid or too little base resulting in a decrease in blood pH.
Alkalosis, the blood has too much base or too little acid resulting in an increase in blood pH.
Acidosis and alkalosis are not diseases but rather are the result of a wide variety of disorders.
Macrominerals
Six macrominerals are required in large quantities for the body. Four (sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg)) are cations; two (chlorine (Cl) and phosphorus (P)) are accompanying anions. Brain, muscle, heart, and bone function depend on these minerals and are vital for the body’s cells. Consuming too little or too much of certain minerals can cause serious disorders.
Macrominerals are very important as electrolytes and the body uses electrolytes to maintain acid-base balance, fluid balance (homeostasis), and for normal neurological, myocardial, nerve, and muscle function. Neurons and muscle are activated by electrolyte activity occurring between the extracellular (or interstitial fluid) and intracellular fluid. During periods of stress and exercise electrolytes such as potassium are lost. Fluid balance is maintained by the concentration of electrolytes in cells, the space outside cells, and in the blood. If the concentration is low, fluid moves out, if the concentration is high, fluid moves in. The body can move electrolytes in and out of cells and the right concentration, electrolyte balance, is important for maintaining fluid balance. The kidneys help regulate the concentrations of electrolytes in the blood by excreting excess into the urine. If the balance of electrolytes is disturbed, such as a deficiency, serious disorders can result.
Potassium is very important and involved in electrolyte balance. A low potassium level has many causes but one common cause is adrenal gland disorder (eg, Cushing's syndrome). An over active adrenal gland caused by high levels of stress can release a hormone called aldosterone into the blood stream causing large quantities of potassium to be excreted into the urine. Aldosterone also causes the excretion of magnesium into the urine. High levels of thyroid hormones also increases excretion of magnesium by the kidneys into the urine. Alcohol also increases the excretion of magnesium.

Mosque IMAM Rauf Hamas Terrorism NYC GroundZero 911 Controversy
The IMAM from New York's funding is not transparent, has links to hamas, hamas has links to terrorism, and this IMAM has made statements that indicate he believes terrorism or 911 was justified.
(YouTube video needed)

Mosque IMAM Rauf Hamas Terrorism NYC GroundZero 911 Controversy
Q. Do you believe IMAM Rauf who proposed this mosque provoked 911 victims by saying that 911 was justified?
Q. Do you think it was predictable that President Barack Obama would defend the U.S. Constitution?
Manipulation or Confusion
I was provided these quotes from another facebook user of IMAM Rauf on a TV show, it is different from what I remember seeing.
- (Rauf answered: "I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened."[16][17][3] Rauch observed. [15])
- I’ve seen different videos of Homeland Security and a retired 911 fire fighter claim that IMAM Rauf supports or is supported by Hamas, Hamas is considered a terrorist organization because they have used terrorism, so if these link exists you would also expect this IMAM to believe that terrorism is justified.
With the strange Republican comments to alienate Muslims and attack the U.S. Constitution you can predict that President Barack Obama will defend the U.S. Constitution.
Provocation
- Provoking 911 survivors and families with links that terrorism or 911 was justified.
- Provoking the U.S. President by attacking the U.S. Constitution and the rights of Muslims.
Terrorism and 911 Justified?
Q. I believe I saw IMAM the person who proposed this mosque say on TV that the 911 attack was justified; does anyone know why or how 911 was justified?
Interesting Facts
1) IMAM’s statement makes no sense.
2) This statement alone can influence or increase the size of the opposition.
3) He helped the Bush administration, Karen Hughes, and has links to the interrogations.
4) Muslim Saudis, G. Bush, and Halliburton all have an interest in continued oil use.
5) Most of the 911 terrorists were Saudi Muslims.
6) The oil industry may feel threatened by the current Obama administration, the clean energy and energy independence agenda.
7) I believe that the BP, Transocean, Halliburton rig explosion was a political attack on the current Obama administration linked to the oil industry feeling threatened or political gain by the Republicans.
8) You can predict that President Barack Obama will defend the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. Constitution and The Rights of Muslims
Q. The Islamic community center; Did President Obama make a mistake when he "wade-in" or should he have any regrets for defending the U.S. constitution?
Q. Do you believe it was predictable or predictable by the GOP that he would do this?
"Rossi: Pres. Shouldn't have 'waded into' mosque issue"
Risk and Political Gain
The Islamic community center; It does create a risk that someone is going to place a bomb or blow it up to try to blame Muslims or direct/create hate towards them for political gain.
I'm not saying Dick Cheney or Halliburton are going to fly an airplane into this Islamic community center for political gain or to re-invade Iraq but it could happen.
Q. If a bomb were to explode in this mosque should the rights of Muslims be violated, brought to Gitmo, and tortured until they confess?
Q. Do you believe that isolation and water boarding are torture or part of a persuasive discussion?

The acidification of the oceans.
*****
Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, is a known carcinogen, damages the bone marrow and can cause anemia, depress the immune system, leukemia, and is associated with other cancers.
The short term breathing of high levels of benzene can result in death, while low levels can cause drowsiness, dizziness, rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion, and unconsciousness. Eating or drinking foods containing high levels of benzene can cause vomiting, irritation of the stomach, dizziness, sleepiness, convulsions, and death.

Atheists vs. Science and Logic: We Are God
E ∝ mv² -> E = mc²
Life, the patterns of life, and the force behind life are observable but Physicists and Mathematicians cannot measure them or apply their mathematics to it.
Therefore, the gravity force exists without knowing what it is and the force behind life, God, does not according to Atheists.
Émilie du Châtelet
(17 December 1706, Paris – 10 September 1749, Lunéville) was a French mathematician, physicist, and author during the Age of Enlightenment.
Her crowning achievement is considered to be her translation and commentary on Isaac Newton's work Principia Mathematica; published in 1759, ten years after her death.
In it, she combined the theories of Gottfried Leibniz and the practical observations of Willem 's Gravesande to show that the energy of a moving object is proportional not to its velocity, as had previously been believed by Newton, Voltaire and others, but to the square of its velocity. (In classical physics, the correct formula is Ek = 1/2mv², where Ek is the kinetic energy of an object, m its mass and v its velocity.)
Although the classical mechanics of du Châtelet are not approached with the same methodology as Einstein's concept of mass and velocity,[14] in his famous equation for the energy equivalent of matter E = mc² (where c represents the velocity of light), modern biographers and historians persist in seeing a neat accord with the principle E ∝ mv² first recognised by du Châtelet from over 150 years before.[15][16] It should be emphasized, however, that from a physical point of view, du Châtelet's principle is a correct assessment of the kinetic energy in classical mechanics, and is the first term in an expansion of Einstein's Mass–energy equivalence.
Psychology and the Atheists
“Atheists are simply individuals who have a psychological need and seek someone to prove the existence of God to them based on their limited scientific understanding and knowledge.” – Dr Atheist psychologist
Science and the Atheists
The forces and constants that the scientific community has accepted as real fall within our scope to measure them and apply mathematics to them. The force and constant that I’m describing doesn’t fall within our abilities or means to measure it, not yet anyways and therefore many members of the scientific community dismiss its existence, even if the observations and patterns are there.
If you can observe something but cannot apply measurements or scientific measurements within your knowledge or scope of understanding, it does not mean you should dismiss its existence.
Scientists accept the existence of the force of gravity, can observe it, measure it, mass, acceleration, etc, and apply mathematics to it. If scientists were unable to measure gravity, and if it wasn’t within their scope of measurements and understanding, or their ability to apply mathematics to it, they would classify it as a strange phenomenon that is unexplainable.
Scientists still do not know what Gravity is, only theories linked to Quantum mechanics.
Questions:
- Do you deny the existence of Gravity, Quantum mechanics, and the observations of their existence?
- Do scientists know what Quantum mechanics is or simply know that it works, similar to Gravity, linked to observations, measurements, and mathematics?
- Do you deny the observation of life, the patterns of life, and the forces behind evolution?
- What is the force behind life and evolution, can you observe it, can you measure it, and can you apply mathematics to it? The fact that you cannot measure or apply mathematics to your observations should not lead you to dismiss its existence.
God: The Life Force Pattern
God is an observation, an existence, and a pattern that cannot be denied.
My Scientific and Logic Credentials Regarding Patterns; I was once tested with an intelligence and pattern test called Raven's Matrices for which I obtained 100%, so therefore Atheists need a test score higher than 100% to dismiss my scientific and logical pattern observations or simply acknowledge their own daily observations.
We Are God
God is not divisible or in other words something cannot be 1/100 or 1/1000 part of God and all life is a part of God, therefore We Are God.
Scientists and the Life Force Pattern
An article I wrote in 2007: The Puzzle of the Universe (From the last 2007 summer supper) - to be taken lightly and with humor
What we know is that all things, even the Universe, have a beginning and an end, it’s a Universal truth, right? Wrong.
What we call this reality or plain of existence has always been and always will be. That was easy to read, right, now think about it for a few seconds and see what happens.
Some scientists believe that the Universe was created from the big bang and will continue to expand indefinitely. Other scientists believe that the Universe began with the big bang and will continue to expand for several billion years and then it will begin to contract due to gravitational forces. Some scientist also believe that there will be another big bang following this contraction and speculate that the big bang phenomenon may have happened several times, and I believe that this is true.
Life on earth emerged from mud and lightning, scientists know how and can easily recreate the phenomenon in a lab using matter and electricity to obtain new organic matter but they don’t really know how.
There are forces and constants in the Universe and scientists have discovered many of them, and can measure them. There’s a force that pushes things to form more complex things, scientists know it, they see the pattern, and they know it’s there but can’t explain it. I believe that this force is just another force in the Universe or part of the Universe.
Organisms, entities, will continue to evolve or become more complex beings until they become incredibly powerful beings that can manipulate energy and matter. These beings will merge and draw all the energy, includes matter, in the Universe to themselves to answer the last remaining puzzle, what is the Universe and what is its purpose.
This entity will conclude that this reality is all there is, all there ever was, and all that will ever be. With no more puzzles to solve and no purpose, to simply be is not enough, this being will release all of its energy, the big bang phenomenon, and recreate the Universe.
The process and puzzle solving will restart all over again.
This “force” is simply this entity slowly, to us, reforming its self.

Letter to an Editor concerning Workplace Psychological Harassment and Mobbing in Modern Society
I advocate different issues and one of them regards information concerning workplace psychological harassment.
The most recent post on ***** concerns this issue and the recent deadliest workplace shooting, which apparently also involved workplace psychological harassment.
This topic concerns the daily lives of readers from their work environment to their health and I don't believe it to be off topic.
The last comment may seem a bit strange regarding the Mob "ice pick" but the logic is that if you make the use of different weapons such as using homelessness or this Mob "ice pick" more visible, the awareness of their use as weapons reduces their incentive for existence.
As long as there are hidden incentives for keeping homelessness or this Mob "ice pick" our society's goal of eliminating these will not be successful.
Heart disease and stroke are also major killers of Americans each year.
Sincerely,
Danny Hunt

The Art of War: Psychological Warfare and Homlessness
In terms of psychological warfare it can be considered The Art of War similar to impaling or crucifying a person in the dark ages.
Like the Romans and Vlad the Impaler; also known as Vlad Dracula.
- Vlad Dracula who waged psychological warfare on an invading army.
- Romans who crucified criminals, rebels or conquered armies, or christians at the city gates.
- Movie scenes Spartacus and Jesus Christ.
Law Enforcement, Psychiatry, Criminal Psychological Harassment Networks
Similar to psychiatry denying the existence of workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person’s means of subsistence.
Workplace Pscychological Harassment and Homelessness; have you seen these pattern?
Q. Mobbing in Modern Society, have you seen these patterns?
1) Psychological Harassment -> Psychiatry -> Homelessness
2) Workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person’s means of subsistence -> Psychiatric file to discredit the victim -> Homelessness
- When you want to fire someone you build up a file for justification in case of a lawsuit.
- Similary when you use workplace psychological harassment to get rid of someone you build up a psychiatric file to discredit the victim in case of a lawsuit.
3) Workplace and criminal psychological harassment (organized crime) -> Psychiatric file (prevent exposure) -> Advanced technology (weapon, sleep deprivation) -> Homelessness or death/assassination (cancer, stroke, heart attack linked to sleep deprivation)
When it comes to workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment (organized crime) you build up a psychiatric file to discredit victims and prevent exposure or prosecution.
- When it comes to getting rid of someone through workplace psychological harassment, criminal psychological harassment, advanced technologies, and homelessness you need to build up a psychiatric file to discredit the victim in case of a lawsuit or prosecution.
- It is similar to when you want to get rid of someone by firing them, you need to build up a file for justification in case of a lawsuit.
- Workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment can involve management asking you to speak to one of their health or medical professionals while using words like "you've got the wrong perception".
- At the local hospital it can involve psychiatry claiming that workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment do not exist.
Workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment to eliminate a person's means of subsistence; As long as homelessness is being used as a weapon and has a hidden use or a hidden incentive for its existence our society’s goal of eliminating homelessness will remain unachievable.
One of the keys to eliminating homelessness from modern society is to make its use as a weapon visible and any other weapons used to push victims to homelessness such as workplace psychological harassment and mobbing in modern society.
Q. Does the fact that both psychiatry and law enforcement organizations deny the existence of criminal psychological harassment networks and the use of homelessness as a weapon seem to increase the link between them?
Similar to psychiatry denying the existence of workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person’s means of subsistence.

Critical Ocean Organisms Are Disappearing
- The number of marine phytoplankton has been declining by about 1% per year -- If the trend continues, it could decimate ocean food chains and accelerate global warming.
- Researchers know that phytoplankton numbers have been dropping for the past 30 years.
- "You compound that over a century, this becomes a huge, huge decline," -- estimates that phytoplankton numbers have plummeted 40% since 1950.
- What's more, the team found that phytoplankton numbers were more likely to dwindle in areas of the ocean that were warming.
- Even more chilling -- is the potential impact on our atmosphere. The ocean absorbs 40% of the CO2 humans emit. Phytoplankton, in turn, convert that CO2 into oxygen -- "the ocean as a carbon sink is declining, and what that means is ultimately more CO2 will stay in the atmosphere instead of being dissolved in the ocean." That will translate into a warmer world, which will wipe out even more phytoplankton.
Workplace Psychological Harassment: Deadliest Workplace Shooting 9 Dead in Connecticut
- 34 year old gunman Omar Thornton.
- Told his girl friend he had complained about workplace psychological harassment.
- Fired for stealing resulting in the deadliest workplace shooting.
- No record of complaints according to the teamsters union and company.
Q. Do you believe the company was trying to get rid of 34 year old Omar Thornton through workplace psychological harassment, possibly because they thought he was stealing?
Workplace and Rage Shootings
Workplace shootings often result from people believing that they have not been treated fairly resulting in anger and rage, rage shootings.
It seems that when it involves workplace psychological harassment, mobbing, or bullying the facts regarding this are quickly concealed or reinterpreted.
Lack of Provisions for Workplace Psychological Harassment
A possible pattern due to a lack of workplace psychological harassment provisions may lead victims to claim racial harassment when this may not be the accurate description, category, or whole scope of the workplace psychological harassment that happened or took place.
It may also make it harder or impossible to file a complaint.
Workplace Psychological Harassment Question
Q. Does workplace psychological harassment to get rid of someone or eliminate their means of subsistence exist and are medical professionals such as psychiatry used to attack the psychological integrity or credibility of these victims?
a) no, people are mentally ill b) no, people have the wrong perception c) no, it's an urban myth d) yes, to replace someone e) yes, to reduce costs f) yes, to prevent a lawsuit g) yes, to push someone into homelessness, crime, or subjugate them h) yes, only by organized crime
Phytoplankton has been reduced by 40% since the 1950's.
- Phytoplankton provides the oxygen on our planet.
- "Thus phytoplankton are responsible for much of the oxygen present in the Earth's atmosphere" - Wikipedia

Q. What is the Mob “ice pick”?
A. The Mob "ice pick" is a stealth assassination weapon that you do not see coming.
- High levels of sleep deprivation; increased cortisol, acid-base imbalance and acidic blood pH, no exercise, and no DNA, body, and brain repair.
- High levels of stress; criminal psychological harassment, participants use provocation and threats to increased adrenaline and cortisol, which are linked to more physical damage to the body, heart, and brain.
This leads to poor health, diabetes, acid-base imbalance or acidic blood pH, heart disease, and stroke aka the Mob "ice pick".
Mobbing in Modern Society: Michael Jackson, Organized Crime, Mob "ice pick"
Workplace Psychological Harassment and Criminal Psychological Harassment Research
- The criminal psychological harassment network that I've been documenting uses workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person's means of subsistence, the homelessness weapon, and advanced technology such as sound technology in attempts to subjugate a victim or kill them through sleep deprivation aka heart disease and stroke.
- Someone is using sound technology to sleep deprive me and I believe something similar was done to Michael Jackson who was using powerful drugs to "put him out". It is linked to efforts to push me to homelessness and to a criminal psychological harassment network that seems to be trying to subjugate me, very interesting stuff.
Questions:
Q1. Unfortunately our medical community, psychiatry, and our law enforcement do not believe in that kind of stuff ... does this increase the link between them?
Q2. Do you believe there is a link with participants who engage in workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment, and people who try to attack the victims psychological integrity and credibility by trying to link these to UFO’s or Crop Circles for example?
Q3. If psychiatry is being used to deny the existence of workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment and used to attack the psychological integrity and credibility of victims of these, do you believe the same could be done when advanced technology linked to Control Systems or organized crime are used on our society?
Advanced Technology and Sound Technology: Organized Crime and Sound Technology
Hypersonic Sound: "Think about the ability to focus sound into a crowd of people on a football field and talk only to a selected few." Ultrasound, beyond the hearing level, used to create audible sound.
Think of someone targeted by organized crime and criminal psychological harassment and being bombarded nightly by sound technology to sleep deprive him, which leads to poor health, heart disease, and stroke.
Add metaphors used by participants saying "you need a family" linked to organized crime and subjugation, pushing someone into crime, or attempts to push someone into homelessness and crime in order to prevent exposure of these types of crimes.
Mobbing in Modern Society: Michael Jackson and the Pedophilia Weapon
What could be used to try to bring down a popular star or threat that is loved worldwide like Michael Jackson, the pedophilia weapon and this weapon is part of a toolset in Mobbing in Modern Society.
I believe Michael Jackson was assassinated by this type of advanced technology weapon aka sleep deprivation and what happened to him had many components of Mobbing in Modern Society such as a degrading themes, the pedophilia weapon, a smear campaign, false accusations, and people who feared him, wanted to control him, subjugate him, or make an example of him linked to the mob or organized crime.
- One possible link is one of his last songs "Look What They've Done to the World", which is linked to the environment, something the oil industry or the Bush oil and Cheney Halliburton oil industry may not have liked.
- And I also believe the gulf oil spill was an attack on the current Obama administration and linked to attempts to hide the acidification of the oceans due to fossil fuel burning.
- Do you believe the oil industry would appreciate a powerful environmental activist like Michael Jackson?
- Are global warming and the acidification of the oceans due to fossil fuel burning a hoax?
I still find it strange how it was all about the drugs and the doctor and nothing as to why or the high levels of sleep deprivation.
June 25 R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Mobbing in Modern Society: Patterns and Strategy
Workplace Psychological Harassment and Homelessness; have you seen these pattern?
Questions regarding workplace psychological harassment, psychiatry, and homelessness.
Q. Mobbing in Modern Society, have you seen these patterns?
1) Psychological Harassment -> Psychiatry -> Homelessness
2) Workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person’s means of subsistence -> Psychiatric file to discredit the victim -> Homelessness
- When you want to fire someone you build up a file for justification in case of a lawsuit.
- Similarly when you use workplace psychological harassment to get rid of someone you build up a psychiatric file to discredit the victim in case of a lawsuit.
3) Workplace and criminal psychological harassment (organized crime) -> Psychiatric file (prevent exposure) -> Advanced technology (weapon, sleep deprivation) -> Homelessness or death/assassination (cancer, stroke, heart attack linked to sleep deprivation)
When it comes to workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment (organized crime) you build up a psychiatric file to discredit victims and prevent exposure or prosecution.
- When it comes to getting rid of someone through workplace psychological harassment, criminal psychological harassment, advanced technologies, and homelessness you need to build up a psychiatric file to discredit the victim in case of a lawsuit or prosecution.
- It is similar to when you want to get rid of someone by firing them, you need to build up a file for justification in case of a lawsuit.
- Workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment can involve management asking you to speak to one of their health or medical professionals while using words like "you've got the wrong perception".
- At the local hospital it can involve psychiatry claiming that workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment do not exist.
Society's Goal and Eliminating Homelessness
Workplace psychological harassment and criminal psychological harassment to eliminate a person's means of subsistence; As long as homelessness is being used as a weapon and has a hidden use or a hidden incentive for its existence our society’s goal of eliminating homelessness will remain unachievable.
One of the keys to eliminating homelessness from modern society is to make its use as a weapon visible and any other weapons used to push victims to homelessness such as workplace psychological harassment and mobbing in modern society.
Mobbing in Modern Society: The Art of War and Homelessness
Mobbing in Modern Society, attacking a person's psychological integrity, eliminating their means of subsistence, pushing them to homelessness.
In terms of psychological warfare it can be considered The Art of War similar to impaling or crucifying a person in the dark ages.
Like the Romans and Vlad the Impaler; also known as Vlad Dracula.
- Vlad Dracula who waged psychological warfare on an invading army.
- Romans who crucified criminals, rebels or conquered armies, or Christians at the city gates.
- Movie scenes Spartacus and Jesus Christ.
Mobbing in Modern Society: Organized Crime, Law Enforcement, and Psychiatry
Q. Does the fact that both psychiatry and law enforcement organizations deny the existence of criminal psychological harassment networks and the use of homelessness as a weapon seem to increase the link between them?
Similar to psychiatry denying the existence of workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person’s means of subsistence.
Control Systems and Technology: Acidic Blood pH and The Mob "ice pick"
Q. Control Systems and Technology; How possible do you believe it is that advanced technologies such as nanotechnologies and sound technologies linked to criminal psychological harassment and sleep deprivation, which leads to premature aging, physical pain, heart disease, stroke, and homelessness are used now or will be used in the future?
a) 0% b) 25% c) 50% d) 100% e) these technologies will never exist
A. "Of Course. They probably already exist. But I do not think our government or any big business will use then."
Q. What about organized crime to subjugate people or to assassinate people through the "ice pick" aka stroke or heart attack?
Or to simply use the homelessness weapon and push a person into homelessness, which helps prevent exposure.
If you add the two, high levels of sleep deprivation and criminal psychological harassment, you have the making of an organized crime, mob, or mafia “ice pick”.
- High levels of sleep deprivation significantly increase your chances of a stroke or heart disease.
- High levels of stress due to psychological harassment or criminal psychological harassment linked to provocation, threats, and anger, which are linked to adrenaline and cortisol, also significantly increase your chances of a stroke and heart attack.
Very high levels of sleep deprivation simply destroys the body over time.
Sleep Deprivation and Homelessness: Acid-Base Imbalance and Acidic Blood pH
High levels of stress and sleep deprivation destroy the body over a long period of time and leads to acid-base imbalance or acidic blood pH, which lead to macromineral deficiencies, which results in body and brain damage, and brain damage leads you to psychiatry who deny the existence of workplace psychological harassment, criminal psychological harassment, and these technologies to start with, and this also leads to homelessness.
“Everyone knows it is only the mentally ill that are homeless.”
What is the Mob “ice pick”:
The Mob "ice pick" is a stealth assassination weapon that you do not see coming.
- High levels of sleep deprivation; increased cortisol, acid-base imbalance and acidic blood pH, no exercise, and no DNA, body, and brain repair.
- High levels of stress; criminal psychological harassment, participants use provocation and threats to increased adrenaline and cortisol, which are linked to more physical damage to the body, heart, and brain.
This leads to poor health, diabetes, acid-base imbalance or acidic blood pH, heart disease, and stroke aka the Mob "ice pick".
ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease
Lead
Lead is stored in bones and builds up over a lifetime.
It is a toxic metal and considered a metabolic poison that can damage the heart, kidneys,liver, nervous system, and brain.
It can be released from the bones and into the bloodstream at any time during periods of high levels of stress, acid-base imbalance or acidic blood pH can reduce bone mass, and as we age people can lose bone mass.
Alzheimer's
A new study and theory suggest that floating pieces of amyloid beta called oligomers are what's killing off brain cells in Alzheimer's.
The plaques may be the body's way of trapping and neutralizing oligomers a toxic substance; "The plaque is not the main culprit in terms of toxicity," -- "It actually sequesters all of that amyloid," adding that oligomers are "the really toxic substance."
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease affecting the nervous system.
Some people with Parkinson's have been found to have high levels of lead in their brain.
One theory is that the cells are destroyed by toxins within the body that the liver is unable to filter out, metabolize, or detoxifiy because as we age the liver loses some of its efficiency.
NFL FMR. Players and Alzheimer's
Trauma to the head such as concussions are linked to dementia and Alzheimer's.
A study found that former NFL players' rate of Alzheimers is 19x the public rate.
Mini Strokes and Alzheimer's
Mini strokes happen all the time in the brain without much damage but over time can lead to problems associated to Alzheimer's.
Lifestyle factors play the largest role in preventing strokes, 80% of second strokes are preventable, risk factors include obesity, smoker, blood pressure > 140/90, cholesterol > 240, diabetic, family history, lack of exercise.
Diet, Stroke, and Alzheimer's
Diet can reduce strokes and sharply reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by 40%.
Saturated fatty acids in red meat and butter, need to be avoided and omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin B12 and folate, benefit and directly protect the brain.
"People who adhered mostly to this dietary pattern compared to others have about a 40% reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease,"
Good Cholesterol (HDL), Plaque, Stroke, Dementia, and Alzeihmer's
A good diet can also reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).
Detoxification and reduced plaque in blood vessels is linked to HDL cholestrol, the higher the better.

Red wine has resveratol linked to DNA repair and the daily 1-2 glasses of red wine contains alcohol that can significantly increase HDL levels.
- Alcohol can significantly increase HDL levels.
- 1-2 drinks a day, alcohol, is linked to lower risk of dementia such as Alzheimer’s.
Aerobic exercise, walking, jogging, exercise that raises your heart rate for 20 - 30 minutes at a time may be the most effective way to increase HDL levels. (duration)
Excercise and Strokes
"More active people generally demonstrate a 25 - 30% lower risk of stroke,"
Women who walked at a pace of 3 miles per hour or faster had a 37% lower risk of suffering any type of stroke compared to those who walked at a slower pace.
"Exercise is as close to a magic bullet as brain fitness gets," says John Medina, PhD
When sedentary adults in one study jogged for half an hour 2 or 3 times a week for 12 weeks, their memory and ability to juggle tasks improved by 30%.
Physical activity can actually repair neurological connections in your brain and make it physically larger.
Older women who exercised in their teens are 35% less likely to be mentally impaired at old age. (dementia)
Sugar, HDL Cholesterol, and Strokes
Lower added-sugar consumption linked to better levels of good cholesterol HDL.
Access sugar decrease good cholesterol HDL and increase triglycerides which can be a lethal combination, lower cardiovascular risks.
One study on diabetes indicated that through diet people were able to go into remission.
High Blood Pressure, Salt, Stress, and Strokes
Excessive salt intake is associated with high blood pressure, which can damage the arteries and lead to heart disease, stroke, and other health problems and linked to health care costs.
Stress, there is a strong correlation between prolonged stress and large vessel disease, small vessel disease and cryptogenic stroke.
Air Pollution and Strokes
A growing link and evidence between air pollution and peripheral vascular diseases, irregular heartbeats, heart failure, and ischemic stroke.
Cause-and-effect relationship fine particulate matter, which comes from fossil-fuel-burning says AHA.
CoQ10 and Parkinson's

- Often found depleted in people with serious disease and Parkinson's.
- "Glutathione deficiency states include, but are not limited to: HIV/AIDS, chemical and infectious hepatitis, prostate and other cancers, cataracts, Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, radiation poisoning, malnutritive states, arduous physical stress, aging, and has been associated with sub-optimal immune response."
Vitamin B Complex
- Vitamin B Complex is vital in cellular enzyme function and important in brain metabolism; Helps to remove lead from the brain.
- Extremely important in brain function, the brain vitamin, and important for glutathione.
L-Lysine, L-cysteine, L-cystube

Raising Your HDL Levels
Increasing the GOOD cholesterol
http://heartdisease.about.com/cs/cholesterol/a/raiseHDL.htm
"HDL cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol, appears to scour the walls of blood vessels, cleaning out excess cholesterol. It then carries that excess cholesterol -- which otherwise might have been used to make the "plaques" that cause coronary artery disease -- back to the liver for processing. So when we measure a person's HDL cholesterol level, we seem to be measuring how vigorously his or her blood vessels are being "scrubbed" free of cholesterol."

Sirtuin Genes and Resveratol
The sirtuin genes are part of an intricate stretch response or survival mode response. When times are tough they kick in and increase DNA repair or prevent cell death. Some people use calorie restriction in order to trigger the survival mode response and stimulate the sirtuin genes.
Resveratol also stimulates the sirtuin genes without the calorie restriction or survival mode response.
It is similar to calorie restriction but without the calorie restriction.
DAF2 Genes and Insoline
Decreased or low levels of insoline are also linked to longevity.
So a diet the keeps insoline levels low leads to a longer life similar to calorie restriction.
