Welcomes YOU to Sign Up For
COMMUNITY WATCHDOG TORTURE DETAIL!
(Mr. Grim’s most recent City Hall seminar speech)
So,	
  these	
  two	
  zombies	
  are	
  eating	
  away	
  at	
  this	
  corpse,	
  right?	
  So	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  zombies	
  
says,	
  “Ooh,	
  man,	
  suddenly	
  I’ve	
  got	
  an	
  upset	
  stomach!	
  Have	
  you	
  got	
  any	
  Tums?”	
  So	
  the	
  
other	
  zombie	
  tells	
  him,	
  “Sorry,	
  man.	
  I	
  already	
  ate	
  his	
  abdomen.”	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
No,	
  really,	
  so	
  there’s	
  these	
  two	
  zombies,	
  and	
  they	
  both	
  grab	
  this	
  politician,	
  and	
  
they	
  rip	
  open	
  his	
  skull	
  and	
  eat	
  his	
  brains!	
  And	
  then	
  he	
  runs	
  for	
  office	
  and	
  wins!	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
No?	
  Well,	
  how	
  about	
  some	
  “Yo	
  Mama”	
  jokes?	
  
	
  
(Someone	
  claps	
  halfheartedly)	
  
	
  
Yeah!	
  Thank	
  you,	
  thank	
  you!	
  Well.	
  .	
  .	
  Yo	
  mama	
  so	
  dead,	
  her	
  boyfriend	
  used	
  her	
  as	
  
a	
  shield	
  at	
  the	
  last	
  drive-­‐by!	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
Yo	
   mama	
   so	
   dead,	
   she	
   dated	
   that	
   brainless	
   politician	
   I	
   just	
   mentioned	
   and	
   got	
  
whacked	
  by	
  his	
  teenage	
  intern-­‐slash-­‐girlfriend!

  would	
  do	
  to	
  your	
  taxes!

Ah,	
  yes,	
  well	
  .	
  .	
  .	
  I	
  do	
  love	
  a	
  recurring	
  theme.	
  My	
  kind	
  does	
  so	
  obsess	
  sometimes.	
  I	
  
am	
   the	
   Unsightly	
   Sergeant	
   Grim,	
   President	
   of	
   your	
   local	
   “Community	
   Policing”	
   task	
  
force.	
  On	
  to	
  another	
  hilarious	
  topic!	
  Shall	
  we?	
  
	
  
Ahem	
  .	
  .	
  .	
  
	
  
Truly	
  the	
  most	
  refreshing	
  thing	
  about	
  a	
  sociopathic	
  perverted	
  scoundrel	
  like	
  me	
  
having	
  virtually	
  unlimited	
  funding—thanks	
  to	
  your	
  tax	
  dollars!—	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
—and	
  having	
  absolutely	
  NO	
  consideration	
  for	
  anybody’s	
  welfare	
  but	
  my	
  own,	
  is	
  
the	
  truly	
  inspiring	
  way	
  I’m	
  allowed	
  to	
  set	
  up	
  my	
  own	
  private	
  rules	
  as	
  President	
  of	
  your	
  
Community	
  Policing	
  task	
  force.	
  Thanks	
  to	
  your	
  complete	
  trust	
  in	
  me,	
  I	
  can	
  bypass	
  “due	
  
process”	
  and	
  all	
  that	
  other	
  “legal”	
  mumbo-­‐jumbo,	
  for	
  entirely	
  self-­‐serving	
  motivations.	
  
After	
  all,	
  what	
  do	
  you	
  know?	
  
	
  
For	
  example,	
  the	
  most	
  wonderful	
  thing	
  about	
  having	
  access	
  to	
  electronic	
  through-­‐
wall	
   weaponry	
   and	
   other	
   clandestine	
   assault	
   and	
   surveillance	
   technologies,	
   and	
   being	
  
able	
   to	
   covertly	
   torture—with	
   giddy	
   glee!—governmentally	
   targeted	
   individuals	
   for	
  
hours	
  on	
  end,	
  is	
  the	
  most	
  hilarious	
  time	
  I	
  and	
  my	
  colleagues	
  in	
  crime	
  have,	
  as	
  we	
  listen	
  
to	
  our	
  helpless	
  targeted	
  victims	
  insult	
  us	
  as	
  we’re	
  torturing	
  them!	
  
	
  
Do	
  I	
  see	
  some	
  glazed-­‐over	
  eyeballs	
  among	
  our	
  distinguished	
  audience?	
  Yes,	
  you	
  
may	
  have	
  heard	
  something	
  or	
  other	
  here	
  and	
  there	
  about	
  “electronic	
  harassment.”	
  Well,	
  
that	
   quaint	
   term	
   says	
   nothing	
   of	
   just	
   how	
   far	
   we	
   in	
   the	
   government	
   “security”	
   racket	
  
have	
   taken	
   it.	
   Our	
   handpicked	
   Torture	
   Squad—our	
   deceptively	
   named	
   “Community	
  
Policing”	
  crew	
  of	
  psychopathic	
  thugs—do	
  have	
  quite	
  a	
  field	
  day	
  out	
  in	
  the	
  field!	
  We’re	
  
outstanding	
  in	
  our	
  field.	
  All	
  day	
  and	
  night.	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
And	
  I’m	
  sure	
  you’ve	
  also	
  heard	
  the	
  term	
  “gang-­‐stalking,”	
  or	
  “group-­‐”	
  or	
  “organized	
  
stalking.”	
  If	
  you	
  haven’t,	
  where’ve	
  you	
  been?	
  This	
  is	
  an	
  age-­‐old	
  strategy,	
  utilized	
  to	
  instill	
  
acute	
   psychological	
   terror	
   in	
   the	
   hearts	
   of	
   our	
   victims.	
   We	
   simply	
   place	
   our	
   targeted	
  
victims	
  under	
  24/7	
  surveillance	
  (everywhere	
  they	
  go!)	
  and	
  “give	
  them	
  a	
  hard	
  time,”

put	
  things	
  mildly,	
  with	
  no	
  small	
  assistance	
  from	
  neighborhood	
  watchdog	
  groups;	
  and	
  
without	
  ever	
  getting	
  close	
  enough—accessible	
  enough—for	
  our	
  victims	
  to	
  do	
  anything	
  
about	
  it.	
  
	
  
Ah,	
   our	
   favorite	
   moments	
   are	
   when	
   we	
   first	
   ambush	
   our	
   initially	
   unsuspecting	
  
victims,	
  and	
  start	
  hammering	
  them	
  all	
  the	
  way	
  down	
  to	
  an	
  inevitable	
  total	
  psychological	
  
breakdown.	
   It	
   is	
   during	
   these	
   moments	
   of	
   inception	
   that	
   they	
   start	
   lashing	
   out	
  
profanities,	
   and	
   smashing	
   things	
   up,	
   and	
   alienating	
   their	
   family	
   and	
   friends,	
   and	
   so	
  
forth,	
  in	
  their	
  useless	
  attempts	
  to	
  discover	
  who’s	
  really	
  screwing	
  up	
  their	
  lives.	
  
	
  
Not	
  only	
  do	
  our	
  psychologically	
  manipulated	
  and	
  devastated,	
  socially	
  ostracized	
  
and	
  isolated,	
  utterly	
  helpless	
  targeted	
  victims	
  believe	
  that	
  their	
  ranting	
  and	
  blaspheming	
  
and	
   condemning	
   us	
   to	
   hell,	
   and	
   all	
   that	
   other	
   carrying	
   on,	
   actually	
   has	
   some	
   kind	
   of	
  
stultifying	
   effect	
   on	
   cold-­‐blooded	
   malevolent	
   fiends	
   like	
   my	
   colleagues	
   and	
   me—as	
  
though	
  we	
  had	
  a	
  conscience!—but	
  they	
  even	
  go	
  so	
  far	
  as	
  to	
  believe	
  that	
  it’s	
  some	
  sort	
  of	
  
psychological	
  insulator;	
  a	
  buffer,	
  if	
  you	
  will,	
  that	
  protects	
  them	
  in	
  some	
  substantive	
  way	
  
against	
   our	
   nonstop	
   psychological	
   “take-­‐down”	
   campaign,	
   not	
   to	
   mention	
   our	
   craven	
  
electronic	
  assaults	
  upon	
  their	
  brains	
  and	
  bodies.	
  
	
  
Oh,	
  PUH-­‐LEASE.	
  Ha-­‐ha!	
  
	
  
And	
   that	
   is	
   why	
   we	
   prefer	
   to	
   conduct	
   our	
   severest	
   covert	
   assaults	
   upon	
   them	
  
between	
   the	
   wee	
   hours	
   of	
   morning	
   and	
   sunrise.	
   That’s	
   when	
   our	
   helpless	
   and	
  
pathetically	
  clueless	
  targets	
  are	
  always	
  at	
  their	
  creative	
  peak!	
  Execratively	
  speaking,	
  of	
  
course.	
  It	
  has	
  a	
  lot	
  to	
  do	
  with	
  the	
  tried	
  and	
  true	
  method	
  of	
  sleep	
  deprivation.	
  My,	
  but	
  
you	
   wouldn’t	
   believe	
   some	
   of	
   the	
   things	
   that	
   come	
   out	
   of	
   their	
   mealy	
   mouths,	
   once	
  
they’ve	
   been	
   rudely	
   and	
   cruelly	
   startled	
   out	
   of	
   a	
   deep	
   sleep	
   with	
   some	
   nice,	
   short,	
  
agonizing	
  microwave	
  pulse	
  bursts	
  to	
  their	
  upper	
  torsos!	
  
	
  
I	
  still	
  notice	
  some	
  deer	
  in	
  the	
  headlights	
  in	
  our	
  esteemed	
  audience.	
  Like	
  I	
  said,	
  
what	
  do	
  you	
  know?	
  
	
  
I	
  am	
  the	
  Unsightly	
  Sgt.	
  Grim,	
  and	
  I	
  am	
  in	
  need	
  of	
  some	
  dirt-­‐cheap	
  recruits	
  for	
  my	
  
time-­‐consuming	
  work	
  in	
  the	
  field	
  of	
  “Community	
  Watchdog	
  Torture	
  Detail.”	
  We’ll	
  get	
  
into	
  that	
  as	
  we	
  go	
  along.	
  
	
  
But	
  first,	
  you	
  must	
  understand	
  that	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  whole	
  unseen	
  world	
  out	
  there	
  that	
  
the	
  average	
  passerby	
  is	
  unable	
  to	
  grasp,	
  simply	
  because	
  the	
  vast	
  majority	
  of	
  you	
  hasn’t	
  
the	
  slightest	
  concept	
  of	
  just	
  how	
  far	
  the	
  Unsightly	
  Sgt.	
  Grim	
  and	
  his	
  demonic	
  colleagues	
  
will	
  go	
  to	
  attain	
  what	
  is	
  so	
  important	
  to	
  depraved	
  degenerates	
  such	
  as	
  we.	
  We,	
  who	
  are

among	
  the	
  most	
  perverted—the	
  most	
  spiritually	
  and	
  psychopathically	
  undead—that	
  this	
  
cherished	
  Land	
  of	
  Liberty	
  has	
  to	
  offer.	
  It	
  brings	
  a	
  rehearsed	
  tear	
  to	
  my	
  eye.	
  We,	
  who	
  are	
  
willing	
  to	
  put	
  your	
  basic	
  human	
  rights	
  on	
  the	
  chopping	
  block,	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  fulfill	
  our	
  own	
  
selfish	
  desires	
  and	
  petty	
  vendettas.	
  
	
  
What	
  I	
  am	
  talking	
  about	
  is	
  POWER,	
  ladies	
  and	
  gents.	
  POWER.	
  
	
  
Well,	
  POWER	
  and	
  NOTORIETY,	
  of	
  course.	
  We	
  do	
  so	
  thrill	
  at	
  the	
  anticipation	
  of	
  
that	
   oh-­‐so	
   precious	
   pat	
   on	
   the	
   back	
   among	
   our	
   morally	
   derelict	
   cohort.	
   POWER	
   and	
  
NOTORIETY	
   are	
   oh	
   so	
   reverently	
   coveted	
   by	
   polluted,	
   self-­‐important,	
   sadistic	
   brains,	
  
such	
  as	
  the	
  one	
  firmly	
  nestled	
  within	
  this	
  particular	
  overly	
  commodious	
  and	
  inherently	
  
cockeyed	
  cranium	
  teetering	
  atop	
  my	
  own	
  slithering	
  spinal	
  column.	
  
	
  
Why,	
  I	
  would	
  actually	
  perform	
  this	
  immoral	
  covert	
  governmental	
  “duty”	
  for	
  free!	
  
“Patriotic	
  service,”	
  we	
  like	
  to	
  call	
  it!	
  Well,	
  at	
  least	
  that’s	
  a	
  great	
  motto	
  for	
  the	
  recruits.	
  
Don’t	
  you	
  think?	
  I	
  think	
  not.	
  Truly,	
  why	
  must	
  we	
  think	
  for	
  ourselves	
  at	
  all?	
  Why,	
  we’ve	
  
got	
  the	
  government	
  to	
  tell	
  us	
  the	
  difference	
  between	
  right	
  and	
  wrong.	
  Ours	
  is	
  not	
  to	
  
question	
  why;	
  ours	
  is	
  to	
  maim	
  and	
  kill	
  when	
  ordered	
  to	
  do	
  so,	
  like	
  obedient	
  soldiers	
  for	
  
God	
  and	
  Country!	
  Right?	
  
	
  
Hmm,	
  well,	
  maybe	
  if	
  I	
  were	
  assured	
  my	
  own	
  apartment	
  and	
  three	
  squares	
  in	
  the	
  
deal,	
  I	
  might	
  be	
  talked	
  into	
  doing	
  it	
  for	
  free.	
  But	
  let’s	
  not	
  go	
  and	
  quote	
  me	
  on	
  anything	
  
for	
   now;	
   especially	
   since	
   POWER	
   is	
   my	
   prime	
   motivation.	
   Leaving	
   such	
   an	
   overt	
  
altruistic	
  trail	
  of	
  breadcrumbs	
  to	
  my	
  doorstep—that	
  is,	
  saying	
  that	
  I’d	
  do	
  it	
  for	
  free—
might	
  not	
  be	
  the	
  most	
  strategic	
  of	
  schemes	
  at	
  this	
  time.	
  Not	
  when	
  the	
  power	
  I	
  want	
  is	
  so	
  
near	
  to	
  within	
  my	
  grasp.	
  
	
  
Not	
  to	
  mention,	
  we	
  haven’t	
  yet	
  sifted	
  through	
  this	
  present	
  gathering	
  of	
  potential	
  
supporters,	
  for	
  proper	
  chaffing	
  and	
  fleecing.	
  Let’s	
  not	
  get	
  ahead	
  of	
  ourselves!	
  
	
  
	
   If	
  I	
  were	
  to	
  tell	
  you	
  that	
  I	
  was	
  an	
  FBI	
  agent,	
  or	
  an	
  officer	
  of	
  the	
  NSA,	
  or	
  a	
  card-­‐
carrying	
   member	
   of	
   the	
   Department	
   of	
   Homeland	
   Security—you	
   know,	
   one	
   of	
   those	
  
rather	
  uppity	
  “high-­‐level,”	
  “upper	
  tier,”	
  more	
  or	
  less	
  purportedly	
  classified	
  “intelligence”	
  
organizations	
   that	
   have	
   so	
   recently	
   been	
   given	
   carte	
   blanche	
   to	
   trample	
   upon	
   the	
  
inalienable	
   rights	
   of	
   “specially	
   designated”	
   United	
   States	
   citizens—would	
   you	
   believe	
  
me?	
  You	
  know,	
  just	
  because	
  I	
  said	
  so?	
  Here,	
  what	
  if	
  I	
  showed	
  you	
  this	
  badge,	
  or	
  flashed	
  
one	
  of	
  these	
  other	
  seemingly	
  verifiable	
  credentials?	
  Flash	
  flash,	
  there	
  it	
  is,	
  it’s	
  all	
  official	
  
now.	
  Isn’t	
  it?	
  Can	
  I	
  not	
  now	
  torture	
  anyone	
  I	
  choose?	
  And	
  might	
  I	
  not	
  enlist	
  your	
  aid	
  in	
  
the	
  process?	
  May	
  I	
  not	
  indeed	
  order	
  you	
  to	
  assist	
  me,	
  or	
  commandeer	
  your	
  property	
  and	
  
possessions	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  fulfill	
  my	
  duties?	
  Well,	
  sure,	
  I	
  just	
  showed	
  you	
  my	
  badge!

Oh,	
  you	
  might	
  not	
  believe	
  me	
  now;	
  but	
  ultimately,	
  I	
  know	
  that	
  I	
  could	
  deceive	
  you	
  
into	
  thinking	
  I	
  was	
  a	
  special	
  agent.	
  Or	
  maybe	
  I	
  am	
  a	
  special	
  agent!	
  Why,	
  I	
  can	
  flash	
  this	
  
very	
  badge	
  of	
  office,	
  here,	
  there	
  you	
  go	
  again,	
  and	
  deceive	
  you	
  into	
  believing	
  a	
  complete	
  
lie	
  about	
  my	
  being	
  a	
  “secret	
  agent,”	
  or	
  “military	
  bigwig,”	
  or	
  whatever.	
  Honestly,	
  what	
  do	
  
you	
  know,	
  really?	
  
	
  
You	
  know,	
  like	
  an	
  old	
  lady	
  letting	
  some	
  strange	
  man	
  into	
  her	
  home	
  because	
  of	
  his	
  
neatly	
  pressed	
  coverall	
  with	
  the	
  utility	
  company	
  logo	
  on	
  it.	
  And	
  a	
  clipboard	
  for	
  effect.	
  
Slash	
  slash!	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
Because	
  maybe	
  I’m	
  telling	
  the	
  truth!	
  Like	
  I	
  said,	
  whatever.	
  And	
  not	
  only	
  do	
  I	
  know	
  
I	
  could	
  deceive	
  you,	
  or	
  whatever,	
  but	
  I	
  will	
  even	
  get	
  you	
  to	
  do	
  my	
  dirty	
  work	
  for	
  me!	
  
	
  
Sure	
  I	
  could.	
  All	
  I	
  merely	
  need	
  do	
  is	
  allow	
  you	
  to	
  witness	
  the	
  workings	
  of	
  a	
  wildly	
  
new	
   and	
   exotic	
   classified	
   form	
   of	
   electronic	
   weaponry—something	
   you’ve	
   never	
   seen	
  
before	
  in	
  your	
  entire	
  life—and	
  you’d	
  be	
  convinced	
  that	
  I	
  was	
  whoever	
  I	
  said	
  I	
  was.	
  
	
  
All	
   I	
   need	
   do	
   is	
   show	
   you	
   something	
   technologically	
   unavailable	
   to	
   the	
   public,	
  
something	
   to	
   make	
   you	
   ooh	
   and	
   aah	
   like	
   a	
   dopey	
   wet-­‐pantied	
   little	
   schoolgirl,	
   and	
  
thereby	
  ply	
  you	
  into	
  performing	
  treasonous	
  acts	
  of	
  criminal	
  atrocity	
  upon	
  some	
  of	
  your	
  
witless	
  fellow	
  citizens.	
  It’s	
  called	
  POWER,	
  ladies	
  and	
  gentlemen,	
  and	
  I’m	
  here	
  to	
  divvy.	
  
	
  
Listen	
  up.	
  All	
  I	
  need	
  do,	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  deceive	
  you	
  into	
  thinking	
  I	
  needed	
  you	
  for	
  a	
  
“covert	
  mission	
  of	
  vital	
  national	
  security,”	
  is	
  to	
  show	
  you	
  how	
  easily	
  I	
  could	
  invade	
  the	
  
rights	
  and	
  privacy	
  of	
  one	
  of	
  my	
  current	
  nonconsensually	
  targeted	
  “test	
  subjects,”	
  with	
  a	
  
mere	
  bit	
  of	
  classified	
  tech	
  weaponry	
  that	
  would	
  make	
  your	
  store-­‐bought	
  I-­‐phone	
  look	
  
like	
  a	
  defunct	
  slab	
  of	
  shale.	
  And	
  then	
  I	
  would	
  show	
  you	
  how—with	
  the	
  mere	
  press	
  of	
  a	
  
button	
   on	
   my	
   fascinating	
   little	
   piece	
   of	
   shiny	
   high-­‐tech—I	
   could	
   torture	
   my	
   helpless	
  
little	
  test	
  subject	
  as	
  you	
  watched.	
  
	
  
As	
  you	
  watched!	
  Right	
  now!	
  I	
  can	
  transmit	
  it	
  to	
  your	
  I-­‐phone!	
  While	
  he	
  is	
  sitting	
  in	
  
the	
  erstwhile	
  privacy	
  of	
  his	
  own	
  home!	
  
	
  
And	
  with	
  absolutely	
  no	
  strings	
  attached!	
  
	
  
That’s	
  correct,	
  ladies	
  and	
  gents,	
  there’s	
  absolutely	
  no	
  way	
  that	
  our	
  “test	
  subject”	
  
could	
  ever	
  do	
  anything	
  about	
  it,	
  and	
  there’s	
  also	
  no	
  evidence	
  pointing	
  to	
  you	
  or	
  me!

have	
  his	
  entire	
  house	
  wired!	
  Right	
  now!	
  And	
  we	
  have	
  a	
  cheap	
  hired	
  crew	
  of	
  good-­‐for-­‐
nothing	
  criminal	
  misfits	
  to	
  shadow	
  him	
  around	
  town!	
  Organized	
  stalking!	
  Oh,	
  but	
  we	
  
call	
  it	
  “national	
  security	
  civil	
  surveillance,”	
  like	
  the	
  Nazis	
  used	
  to	
  call	
  it.	
  Sounds	
  better	
  
that	
   way.	
   So,	
   now,	
   here’s	
   your	
   chance.	
   I	
   could	
   get	
   you	
   to	
   help	
   me	
   torture	
   and	
   harass	
  
him—slowly,	
  gradually,	
  softly	
  and	
  sweetly,	
  with	
  no	
  strings	
  attached,	
  right	
  now!	
  That’s	
  
right!	
  We	
  can	
  torture,	
  maim	
  for	
  life—even	
  murder	
  him.	
  Drive	
  him	
  insane!	
  Ha!	
  
	
  
And	
   if	
   we	
   do	
   happen	
   to	
   kill	
   him,	
   we	
   can	
   walk	
   away	
   from	
   the	
   murder	
   without	
  
anything	
  to	
  worry	
  about.	
  No	
  implications!	
  No	
  consequences!	
  No	
  complications!	
  Free	
  and	
  
breezy!	
  Cover	
  Girl.	
  
	
  
Of	
   course,	
   our	
   victim	
   would	
   have	
   to	
   be	
   someone	
   whom	
   we	
   heretofore	
   would	
  
already	
  have	
  mutually	
  agreed	
  we	
  detest	
  and	
  want	
  brought	
  to	
  ruin.	
  We	
  don’t	
  want	
  any	
  
unnecessary	
  friction	
  between	
  you	
  and	
  me!	
  Do	
  we?	
  Of	
  course	
  not.	
  
	
  
Does	
  this	
  intrigue	
  you?	
  
	
  
I	
   have	
   here,	
   in	
   my	
   hand,	
   a	
   top-­‐secret	
   classified	
   portable	
   electronic	
   weapon	
   that	
  
utilizes	
  a	
  controllable,	
  invisible	
  beam	
  of	
  frequency-­‐manipulable	
  microwave	
  energy	
  that	
  
can	
   be	
   aimed	
   and	
   discharged	
   at	
   my	
   unwitting,	
   helpless	
   targeted	
   subject	
   from	
   a	
  
sustainable	
  outside	
  distance	
  of	
  about	
  fifty	
  meters.	
  This	
  weapon	
  can	
  also	
  bombard	
  our	
  
subject	
  through	
  any	
  common	
  nonconductive	
  wall	
  or	
  floor	
  or	
  ceiling	
  into	
  an	
  adjoining	
  
room—although	
   we	
   would	
   have	
   to	
   move	
   in	
   considerably	
   closer,	
   if	
   we	
   wanted	
   to	
   do	
  
significant	
  damage	
  through	
  one	
  of	
  these	
  obstructions.	
  
	
  
Directly	
  upon	
  our	
  unwitting	
  subject!	
  Right	
  through	
  a	
  wall!	
  I’m	
  telling	
  you!	
  
Now,	
  I	
  do	
  have	
  to	
  briefly	
  touch	
  upon	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  we	
  actually	
  have	
  the	
  technology	
  to	
  
torture	
  anyone	
  we	
  like	
  via	
  satellite	
  or	
  drone,	
  or	
  even	
  certain	
  household	
  appliances;	
  and	
  
those	
  more	
  sedentarily	
  disposed	
  among	
  us	
  certainly	
  make	
  full	
  use	
  of	
  those	
  options;	
  but	
  
merely	
   relying	
   on	
   such	
   remote,	
   impersonal	
   weaponry	
   would	
   take	
   away	
   from	
   all	
   the	
  
hands-­‐on	
  fun	
  we	
  ground	
  troops	
  have,	
  what	
  with	
  skirmishing	
  around	
  town,	
  with	
  “boots	
  
on	
   the	
   ground,”	
   so	
   to	
   speak,	
   and	
   with	
   all	
   of	
   our	
   retarded	
   thugs	
   in	
   tow,	
   yakking	
   on	
  
walkie-­‐talkies	
  and	
  all	
  that	
  neat	
  soldier-­‐boy	
  fun	
  &	
  games	
  malarkey.	
  It’s	
  a	
  snickering	
  riot!	
  
We	
  psychopaths	
  need	
  to	
  get	
  up	
  nice	
  and	
  close	
  and	
  intimate,	
  when	
  we	
  engage	
  in	
  abusive	
  
behavior.	
   It	
   keeps	
   our	
   lower-­‐rank	
   criminal	
   scumbags	
   occupied,	
   and	
   helps	
   keep	
   those	
  
darned	
  unemployment	
  figures	
  down	
  for	
  media	
  release.	
  
	
  
Let’s	
  just	
  take	
  all	
  this	
  tech	
  talk	
  and	
  boil	
  it	
  down	
  a	
  bit	
  more	
  so	
  the	
  more	
  slowly	
  
grasping	
  among	
  you	
  can	
  attempt	
  to	
  grab	
  the	
  nuts	
  and	
  bolts	
  of	
  it.	
  It’s	
  really	
  quite	
  simple,	
  
and	
  perfectly	
  doable.	
  Think	
  about	
  how	
  your	
  typical	
  everyday	
  cellphone	
  functions.

cellphone	
   can	
   transmit	
   and	
   receive	
   calls	
   right	
   through	
   the	
   wall.	
   Well	
   then,	
   there’s	
  
microwave	
  technology	
  for	
  you	
  in	
  layman’s	
  terms,	
  you	
  bumbling	
  baboons,	
  ha-­‐ha.	
  
	
  
Now,	
   this	
   somewhat	
   larger	
   piece	
   of	
   exotic	
   classified	
   weaponry	
   I	
   am	
   hoisting	
  
operates	
  under	
  the	
  very	
  same	
  scientific	
  laws;	
  although	
  the	
  output	
  on	
  this	
  little	
  baby	
  is	
  
amplified	
   to	
   a	
   rather	
   more	
   toxic	
   and	
   even	
   lethal	
   level	
   of	
   directionally	
   concentrated	
  
microwave	
  emission.	
  
	
  
Oh,	
  let’s	
  just	
  call	
  it	
  what	
  it	
  is.	
  Not	
  emission.	
  Assault.	
  
	
  
This	
   particular	
   model	
   is	
   also	
   modified	
   for	
   piggyback	
   ELF	
   transmission—which	
  
utilizes	
   acoustics—oh,	
   you	
   know,	
   infrasound,	
   ultrasound,	
   bada-­‐bing,	
   bada-­‐boom—
acoustic	
  frequencies	
  above	
  and	
  below	
  the	
  audible	
  range	
  of	
  normal	
  human	
  hearing	
  that	
  
cause	
  involuntary	
  mood	
  alterations,	
  and	
  even	
  inflict	
  incapacitating	
  illness	
  in	
  our	
  target.	
  
We	
  can	
  bring	
  down	
  the	
  house	
  with	
  a	
  large	
  enough	
  ELF	
  transmitter.	
  For	
  real!	
  
	
  
This	
   particular	
   weapon	
   also	
   has	
   a	
   combination	
   auxiliary	
   MRI/IRF	
   readout	
  
monitor—the	
   outdated	
   version	
   of	
   which	
   one	
   of	
   you	
   dirty	
   peasants	
   probably	
   used	
   to	
  
search	
  for	
  your	
  filthy	
  little	
  fetus	
  inside	
  of	
  you	
  at	
  the	
  hospice!	
  This	
  resonator	
  provides	
  a	
  
digitally	
   defined	
   readout	
   of	
   solid	
   objects	
   in	
   scaled	
   time	
   and	
   space—utilized	
   through	
  
sonics	
  and	
  thermal	
  imagery,	
  of	
  course—onto	
  this	
  tiny	
  visual	
  monitor,	
  which	
  is	
  used	
  to	
  
locate	
  and	
  track	
  the	
  test	
  subject	
  on	
  the	
  other	
  side	
  of	
  that	
  wall	
  or	
  floor	
  or	
  ceiling	
  from	
  
which	
  I	
  am	
  conducting	
  the	
  assault.	
  This	
  way,	
  if	
  my	
  target	
  moves	
  here	
  or	
  there	
  in	
  the	
  next	
  
room,	
  I	
  can	
  follow	
  him	
  around	
  and	
  keep	
  the	
  toxic	
  irradiating	
  microwave	
  beam	
  focused	
  
upon	
  him	
  at	
  all	
  times.	
  
	
  
Or,	
  I	
  can	
  simply	
  adjust	
  the	
  beam	
  for	
  wide-­‐range	
  emission	
  to	
  bathe	
  his	
  entire	
  room	
  
with	
  the	
  radiation,	
  and	
  save	
  myself	
  some	
  unnecessary	
  walking	
  around.	
  I	
  mean,	
  once	
  my	
  
target	
  has	
  been	
  successfully	
  corralled	
  and	
  isolated	
  inside	
  his	
  little	
  hovel,	
  why	
  bother	
  with	
  
all	
  that	
  chasing	
  and	
  aiming,	
  chasing	
  and	
  aiming?	
  I	
  might	
  be	
  trying	
  to	
  finish	
  off	
  a	
  turkey	
  
sandwich	
  or	
  something.	
  
	
  
And	
  the	
  infrasonic	
  resonator	
  does	
  wonders	
  in	
  incrementing	
  the	
  dastardly	
  effects	
  of	
  
the	
  microwave	
  assault.	
  It	
  alters	
  the	
  victim’s	
  mood.	
  Vertigo,	
  nausea,	
  migraines,	
  you	
  name	
  
it.	
  Oh,	
  don’t	
  ask	
  me	
  about	
  the	
  details;	
  what	
  do	
  I	
  know?	
  My	
  job	
  is	
  to	
  press	
  the	
  button	
  like	
  
the	
  obedient	
  brainwashed	
  idiot	
  I	
  am.	
  
	
  
But	
  I	
  can	
  promise	
  you	
  this:	
  We’ll	
  have	
  our	
  mutual	
  enemy’s	
  innards	
  twitching	
  and	
  
spasming	
  in	
  no	
  time,	
  and	
  to	
  no	
  end!	
  We’ll	
  have	
  the	
  poor	
  schlep’s	
  head	
  throbbing	
  and	
  
heart	
  twitching	
  to	
  beat	
  the	
  band!	
  Child’s	
  play!	
  And	
  it’s	
  all	
  basic	
  21st	
  century	
  technology,

folks.	
  All	
  perfected	
  way	
  back	
  in	
  the	
  last	
  century.	
  
	
  
Hmm,	
  I	
  still	
  notice	
  a	
  couple	
  of	
  you	
  are	
  having	
  a	
  hard	
  time	
  following	
  me.	
  Allow	
  me	
  
to	
  explain	
  the	
  technology	
  in	
  a	
  different	
  way.	
  Let’s	
  just	
  take	
  an	
  ordinary	
  microwave	
  oven	
  
and	
  remove	
  the	
  front	
  door	
  from	
  it.	
  Now	
  let’s	
  just	
  override	
  the	
  fail-­‐safe	
  mechanism	
  to	
  the	
  
door,	
  which	
  under	
  normal	
  operation	
  would	
  prevent	
  you	
  from	
  operating	
  the	
  oven	
  while	
  
the	
  door	
  is	
  open.	
  Then	
  all	
  you	
  have	
  to	
  do	
  is	
  point	
  the	
  open	
  end	
  of	
  the	
  oven	
  at	
  whomever	
  
you	
  wish,	
  and	
  turn	
  it	
  on!	
  You	
  surely	
  wouldn’t	
  want	
  to	
  be	
  on	
  the	
  receiving	
  end	
  of	
  that	
  
deal,	
  now	
  would	
  you?	
  
	
  
Now	
  do	
  you	
  understand?	
  
	
  
And,	
  the	
  microwave	
  emissions	
  from	
  that	
  oven	
  will	
  travel	
  right	
  through	
  a	
  wall—just	
  
in	
  case	
  you	
  were	
  thinking	
  that	
  you	
  were	
  going	
  to	
  put	
  some	
  distance	
  between	
  us	
  once	
  I’ve	
  
targeted	
  you.	
  
	
  
That	
  is,	
  if	
  I	
  were	
  to	
  be	
  targeting	
  you	
  specifically.	
  Heh-­‐heh.	
  
	
  
Well	
   then,	
   now	
   let’s	
   just	
   put	
   that	
   basic	
   concept	
   for	
   a	
   weapon	
   into	
   a	
   few	
   busy	
  
decades	
   of	
   refinement	
   in	
   our	
   Research	
   and	
   Development	
   Department.	
   That’s	
   right!	
  
We’ve	
   been	
   refining	
   it	
   for	
   decades!	
   There	
   are	
   literally	
   tens	
   of	
   thousands	
   of	
   this	
   very	
  
model	
  I	
  have	
  here,	
  in	
  use	
  at	
  this	
  very	
  moment,	
  all	
  across	
  the	
  planet,	
  within	
  the	
  borders	
  
of	
  each	
  and	
  every	
  member	
  NATO	
  nation	
  that	
  has	
  agreed	
  to	
  suck	
  our	
  exaggerated	
  phallus	
  
whenever	
  we	
  say	
  so.	
  
	
  
Well,	
  of	
  course,	
  yes,	
  all	
  of	
  our	
  “allies”	
  (prostitutes)	
  are	
  in	
  on	
  it,	
  too.	
  What’d	
  you	
  
think?	
  Isn’t	
  unregulated	
  military	
  freedom	
  grand?	
  
	
  
And	
  this	
  is	
  just	
  the	
  tip	
  of	
  the	
  iceberg,	
  folks.	
  This	
  is	
  merely	
  the	
  technology	
  we’ve	
  
seen	
  fit	
  to	
  reveal	
  to	
  you.	
  We	
  do	
  occasionally	
  use	
  one	
  of	
  our	
  ace-­‐in-­‐the-­‐hole	
  options,	
  in	
  
case	
  one	
  of	
  our	
  own	
  decides	
  to	
  defect—to	
  blab,	
  as	
  it	
  were.	
  We	
  can	
  never	
  be	
  too	
  sure	
  who	
  
will	
  bite	
  the	
  bait	
  and	
  latch	
  on	
  for	
  good,	
  and	
  who	
  will	
  chicken	
  out.	
  Good	
  evil	
  is	
  so	
  hard	
  to	
  
find	
  these	
  days.	
  
	
  
Not!	
  
	
  
Of	
  late,	
  in	
  larger	
  cities,	
  we’ve	
  actually	
  been	
  hiring	
  the	
  bargain-­‐basement	
  services	
  of	
  
sadistic	
  gangbangers	
  to	
  do	
  this	
  treacherous,	
  treasonous	
  work	
  for	
  us.	
  Really!	
  Ooh,	
  I	
  notice	
  
that	
  fits	
  the	
  description	
  of	
  some	
  of	
  you	
  in	
  our	
  esteemed	
  audience	
  tonight.	
  Hello,	
  fellows!	
  
Well,	
  hiring	
  the	
  likes	
  of	
  you	
  gives	
  us	
  a	
  virtually	
  unlimited	
  supply	
  of	
  emotionally	
  retarded,

morally	
  bereft,	
  murdering	
  scum	
  to	
  do	
  our	
  dirty	
  work	
  for	
  us,	
  thereby	
  keeping	
  our	
  own	
  
hands	
  free,	
  free	
  and	
  blameless,	
  to	
  solicit	
  and	
  expand	
  even	
  greater	
  nondescript	
  demonic	
  
mayhem	
  elsewhere	
  in	
  the	
  world!	
  Oh,	
  and	
  this	
  strategy	
  also	
  allows	
  us	
  to	
  keep	
  a	
  wary	
  eye	
  
on	
  you	
  retarded	
  gangbangers.	
  “Keep	
  your	
  enemies	
  closer,”	
  is	
  what	
  the	
  Don	
  says.	
  
	
  
And	
  by	
  gosh,	
  your	
  pay	
  scale	
  is	
  so	
  dirt-­‐cheap!	
  We	
  liken	
  the	
  intellectual	
  capacity	
  of	
  
your	
  lot	
  to	
  that	
  of	
  our	
  typical	
  small-­‐town	
  hick	
  recruits.	
  
	
  
And	
  speaking	
  of	
  keeping	
  you	
  close,	
  it	
  might	
  be	
  a	
  good	
  idea	
  for	
  me	
  to	
  relay	
  one	
  
further	
  tidbit	
  of	
  info	
  to	
  you,	
  along	
  these	
  same	
  lines.	
  Since	
  it’s	
  already	
  child’s	
  play	
  for	
  my	
  
agency—whoever	
   we	
   are,	
   ha-­‐ha—to	
   wire	
   our	
   target’s	
   entire	
   environment	
   for	
   24/7	
  
surveillance	
   and	
   torture,	
   there	
   is	
   that	
   ever-­‐so-­‐slight	
   possibility	
   that	
   we	
   might	
   already	
  
have	
  wired	
  quite	
  a	
  number	
  of	
  additional	
  individuals	
  from	
  our	
  B	
  List.	
  Our	
  “Prospectives”	
  
List.	
  Our	
  “Just	
  In	
  Case”	
  List.	
  You	
  know,	
  just	
  to	
  be	
  on	
  the	
  safe	
  side.	
  To	
  cover	
  our	
  own	
  
asses,	
  as	
  it	
  were.	
  
	
  
But	
  let’s	
  get	
  back	
  to	
  our	
  floor	
  model	
  here.	
  Once	
  I	
  have	
  located	
  and	
  focused	
  my	
  
sights	
  on	
  my	
  targeted	
  subject,	
  I	
  can	
  adjust	
  this	
  weapon	
  to	
  emit	
  a	
  wide-­‐range	
  microwave	
  
beam	
   covering	
   the	
   subject’s	
   entire	
   body,	
   causing	
   excruciating	
   overall	
   discomfort	
   and	
  
anxiety;	
  or	
  I	
  can	
  adjust	
  the	
  beam	
  to	
  a	
  pencil-­‐thin	
  attenuation,	
  which	
  can	
  cause	
  intensely	
  
severe	
   disruptions	
   to	
   any	
   one	
   of	
   his	
   internal—or	
   external—organs!	
  Or	
   topical	
   lesions,	
  
burning	
  pinpricks,	
  and	
  blisters!	
  Makeshift	
  herpes!	
  
	
  
And	
  check	
  this	
  out!	
  With	
  just	
  the	
  flip	
  of	
  a	
  switch,	
  I	
  can	
  translate	
  the	
  frequency	
  of	
  
the	
   microwave	
   frequency	
   into	
   a	
   staccato	
   electromagnetic	
   pulse	
   blast!	
   This	
   accessory	
  
comes	
  in	
  quite	
  handy	
  when	
  we	
  want	
  our	
  victim’s	
  heart	
  to	
  skip	
  a	
  beat.	
  Or	
  to	
  stop.	
  
	
  
Honestly!	
   I	
   can	
   give	
   you	
   heart	
   palpitations,	
   even	
   a	
   heart	
   attack,	
   with	
   this	
   very	
  
weapon!	
  From	
  a	
  remote	
  location!	
  Look!	
  I’ll	
  show	
  you!	
  
	
  
(Points

Ha!	
  Just	
  kidding!	
  
	
  
(Audience	
  calms	
  down.)	
  
	
  
Or	
  am	
  I?	
  
	
  
Hmm,	
  I’m	
  telling	
  you,	
  ladies	
  and

  my	
  demonic	
  colleagues	
  and	
  I

with	
  this	
  agenda	
  of	
  ours.	
  
	
  
Insane!	
   Certifiably	
   insane,	
   folks,	
   I	
   kid	
   you	
   not.	
   It’s	
   quite	
   simple	
   if	
   you’ve	
   got	
   an	
  
established	
  roster	
  of	
  psychiatrists	
  and	
  other	
  medical	
  and	
  social	
  service	
  professionals	
  on	
  
the	
  take,	
  just	
  in	
  case	
  some	
  one	
  or	
  other	
  of	
  these	
  hapless	
  tortured	
  targets	
  makes	
  it	
  that	
  far	
  
up	
  the	
  rungs	
  to	
  an	
  actual	
  clinical	
  facility	
  where	
  somebody	
  might	
  pay	
  half	
  a	
  mind	
  to	
  the	
  
target’s	
  seemingly	
  preposterous	
  testimony.	
  
	
  
We	
  run	
  a	
  tight	
  ship	
  here	
  in	
  the	
  Domestic	
  Terrorism	
  business,	
  folks.	
  We	
  need	
  all	
  of	
  
our	
  strategically	
  positioned	
  friends	
  in	
  high	
  places,	
  in	
  that	
  occasional	
  need	
  for	
  a	
  domino	
  
effect.	
  All	
  it	
  takes	
  is	
  an	
  “official”	
  medical	
  report	
  citing	
  our	
  target’s	
  “paranoid	
  delusions”,	
  
and	
  we’ll	
  have	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  you	
  rolling	
  in	
  the	
  aisles	
  at	
  the	
  hilarious	
  travesty	
  of	
  it	
  all!	
  Our	
  
victim	
  will	
  be	
  unable	
  to	
  convince	
  anybody	
  of	
  what’s	
  really	
  happening!	
  We	
  can	
  get	
  one	
  of	
  
our	
   psychiatrist	
   dupes	
   to	
   lock	
   the	
   bum	
   up	
   in	
   a	
   psych	
   ward.	
   Nothing’s	
   funnier	
   than	
  
watching	
  a	
  target	
  snap!	
  I’m	
  telling	
  you!	
  
	
  
Now,	
  the	
  Unsightly	
  Sgt.	
  Grim	
  can	
  personally	
  assure	
  you	
  that	
  it	
  has	
  been	
  proven,	
  by	
  
thousands	
  of	
  in-­‐the-­‐field	
  test	
  cases,	
  that	
  75%	
  of	
  normal,	
  ordinary	
  human	
  beings—fools	
  
just	
  like	
  you!—have	
  been	
  deceived	
  into	
  “joining	
  in	
  on	
  the	
  fun,”	
  as	
  I	
  call	
  it;	
  and	
  without	
  all	
  
that	
  much	
  painstaking	
  fanfare	
  or	
  ado	
  of	
  coaxing	
  on	
  my	
  part.	
  Yes,	
  ladies	
  and	
  gents,	
  three	
  
out	
   of	
   four	
   of	
   you	
   could	
   and	
   would	
   be	
   duped,	
   by	
   a	
   convincing,	
   conniving,	
   sadistic,	
  
undead	
   huckstering	
   bastard	
   such	
   as	
   myself,	
   into	
   participating	
   in	
   the	
   treasonous,	
  
unmitigated	
  torture	
  and	
  attempted	
  murder	
  of	
  another	
  human	
  being,	
  simply	
  because	
  the	
  
Unsightly	
  Sgt.	
  Grim	
  told	
  you	
  to	
  do	
  it!	
  
	
  
Sure	
  you	
  would!	
  
	
  
Oh,	
   come	
   now,	
   all	
   I’d	
   have	
   to	
   do	
   is	
   tell	
   you	
   that	
   my	
   victim	
   is	
   a	
   terrorist,	
   or	
   a	
  
pedophile,	
  or	
  an	
  anarchist,	
  or	
  a	
  racist,	
  or	
  whatever.	
  Our	
  key	
  word	
  here	
  is	
  whatever;	
  it	
  
shoots	
   down	
   all	
   that	
   unnecessarily	
   problematic	
   inquisitiveness	
   that’s	
   best	
   left	
  
inexplicable	
  to	
  the	
  gullible	
  masses.	
  Whatever!	
  It	
  invalidates	
  reasoning	
  so	
  marvelously!	
  It	
  
renders	
   your	
   powers	
   of	
   discrimination	
   so	
   very	
   malleable,	
   so	
   very	
   streamlined	
   and	
  
efficient	
  to	
  our	
  fetid	
  cause.	
  
	
  
After	
   all,	
   what	
   do	
   you	
   know?	
   You	
   merely	
   know	
   whatever	
   I	
   divulge	
   to	
   you.	
   And	
  
you’d	
  best	
  believe	
  that	
  when	
  I	
  do	
  divulge	
  I’ll	
  be	
  helping	
  myself	
  to	
  the	
  manipulable,	
  self-­‐
righteous,	
   vindictive	
   beast	
   within	
   every	
   one	
   of	
   you.	
   For	
   example:	
   Have	
   we	
   any	
  
“Christians”	
  in	
  our	
  audience?	
  Yes,	
  I	
  knew	
  we	
  would.	
  Hi	
  there,	
  holy	
  rollers!	
  Well,	
  I	
  have	
  it	
  
on	
   good	
   statistical	
   evidence	
   that	
   some	
   of	
   you	
   professed	
   “Christians”	
   would	
   veritably	
  
froth	
   at	
   the	
   mouth	
   for	
   a	
   chance	
   to	
   “nullify”	
   an	
   obscenely	
   lucid	
   and	
   blabber-­‐mouthed

  who’s	
  out	
  there	
  in	
  public	
  making	
  just	
  too	
  much	
  sense	
  for	
  his	
  own	
  good.	
  
	
  
Well!	
  I	
  have	
  here,	
  on	
  encrypted	
  flash	
  drive,	
  photos	
  of	
  Richard	
  Dawkins	
  eating	
  stem	
  
cells	
  from	
  freshly	
  aborted	
  fetuses!	
  Sure	
  I	
  do!	
  How	
  can	
  you	
  not	
  believe	
  me?	
  Here,	
  take	
  a	
  
look	
  at	
  the	
  indisputable	
  proof.	
  
	
  
	
   Now	
  come	
  on,	
  let’s	
  go	
  get	
  him!	
  
	
  
That	
  would	
  be	
  fun,	
  wouldn’t	
  it?	
  Richard	
  Dawkins	
  wouldn’t	
  stand	
  a	
  chance	
  against	
  
you	
  “Christians,”	
  once	
  I	
  convinced	
  you	
  to	
  help	
  me	
  lynch	
  the	
  bastard	
  and	
  tear	
  him	
  limb	
  
from	
  limb.	
  Well,	
  and	
  we	
  could	
  lynch	
  him,	
  too—that	
  is,	
  if	
  he	
  weren’t	
  so	
  damned	
  wealthy	
  
and	
  popular	
  by	
  now,	
  not	
  to	
  mention	
  devoid	
  of	
  any	
  vices	
  we	
  can	
  manipulate.	
  We	
  do	
  need	
  
to	
  render	
  our	
  victims	
  destitute	
  and	
  friendless	
  beforehand,	
  you	
  see.	
  Before	
  they	
  become	
  
successful.	
  In	
  order	
  to	
  sufficiently	
  isolate	
  them	
  from	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  society.	
  Some	
  of	
  them	
  do	
  
evade	
  our	
  filthy	
  clutches	
  from	
  time	
  to	
  time.	
  But	
  we’re	
  getting	
  a	
  handle	
  on	
  it!	
  
	
  
Yeah.	
   Just	
   look	
   what	
   we	
   did	
   to	
   that	
   Hitchens	
   guy.	
   We	
   call	
   that	
   kind	
   of	
   whack	
  
“cancer-­‐in-­‐a-­‐bottle.”	
  
	
  
This	
  is	
  why	
  this	
  Watchdog	
  program	
  is	
  so	
  crucial	
  to	
  my—er,	
  our	
  survival.	
  We	
  need	
  
to	
   knock	
   them	
   down	
   before	
   they	
   become	
   successful,	
   before	
   they	
   get	
   away	
   from	
   our	
  
slovenly	
  clutches.	
  
	
  
Yes,	
  OUR	
  survival.	
  OUR	
  clutches.	
  Now,	
  would	
  I	
  divulge	
  this	
  information	
  to	
  you	
  if	
  I	
  
weren’t	
  on	
  the	
  up	
  and	
  up?	
  Trust	
  me,	
  folks.	
  You’re	
  with	
  me,	
  right?	
  Of	
  course	
  you	
  are.	
  
Surely	
  you	
  realize	
  what	
  a	
  prejudgmental	
  pack	
  of	
  insipid	
  snobs	
  you	
  all	
  are.	
  You’d	
  all	
  jump	
  
at	
  the	
  chance	
  to	
  be	
  on	
  the	
  “winning	
  team.”	
  You	
  remember	
  the	
  drill:	
  God	
  and	
  Country!	
  
Forbes

  Sis-­‐boom-­‐bah,	
  blow	
  the

  to

  rah-­‐rah-­‐rah,	
  all	
  of	
  that	
  
fervid	
  patriotic	
  pretense	
  of	
  oxymoronic	
  “spectator

  that	
  runs	
  rampant

your	
   caterwauling	
   “root-­‐for-­‐the-­‐home-­‐team”	
   menagerie	
   up	
   there	
   in	
   the	
   cheap	
   seats.	
  
You’re	
  with	
  me,	
  right?	
  
	
  
And	
  honestly,	
  all	
  I’d	
  have	
  to	
  tell	
  you	
  is	
  whatever,	
  and	
  you’ll	
  be	
  chomping	
  at	
  the	
  bit	
  
to	
  kill	
  our	
  carefully,

  casually,	
  predesignated	
  “common

  We	
  can	
  do	
  it	
  at

  That’s	
  right,	
  we	
  can

you

  That’s

rights—the	
  very	
  same	
  rights	
  you’d	
  be	
  screeching	
  like	
  a	
  banshee	
  about	
  if	
  you	
  were	
  to	
  be	
  
similarly	
  deprived	
  of	
  them.	
  
	
  
	
   Because	
   who	
   cares	
   about	
   a	
   complete	
   stranger?	
   For	
   you	
   see,	
   strangers	
   are	
   much	
  
easier	
  for	
  an	
  otherwise	
  “normal”	
  human	
  being	
  to	
  murder	
  than	
  someone	
  he	
  knows.	
  No	
  
emotional	
  attachment!	
  It’s	
  like	
  firing	
  a	
  missile	
  from	
  a	
  drone	
  at	
  a	
  house	
  in	
  Basra,	
  from	
  a	
  
“respectful”	
  distance.	
  No	
  itchy	
  sand	
  in	
  the	
  britches.	
  No	
  skin	
  off	
  your	
  nose.	
  
	
  
And	
   if	
   you	
   happen	
   to	
   know	
   the	
   victim?	
   Well,	
   we’ve	
   had	
   our	
   up-­‐and-­‐running	
  
subliminal	
   desensitizing	
   conditioning	
   program	
   subtly	
   altering	
   your	
   imbecilic	
   engrams	
  
for	
   ages.	
   We’ve	
   seen	
   to	
   it	
   that	
   you’ll	
   despise	
   each	
   and	
   every	
   one	
   of	
   our	
   handpicked	
  
scapegoats	
  at	
  least	
  as	
  much	
  as	
  we	
  do	
  by	
  the	
  time	
  you’re	
  ready	
  for	
  game	
  time.	
  And	
  in	
  that	
  
case,	
  we’d	
  immediately	
  send	
  you	
  to	
  the	
  front	
  line!	
  
	
  
Froth!	
  Froth!	
  
	
  
And	
  what	
  I	
  meant	
  is	
  “the	
  front	
  of	
  the	
  line.”	
  
	
  
Dibs!	
  Froth!	
  
	
  
(Rim	
  shot	
  &	
  cymbal	
  crash)	
  
	
  
And	
  if	
  I	
  told	
  you	
  that	
  you	
  must	
  despise	
  our	
  victim	
  .	
  .	
  .	
  well,	
  you	
  must.	
  Here,	
  make	
  
it	
  easy	
  on	
  yourself,	
  and	
  just	
  substitute	
  the	
  word	
  “victim”	
  with	
  “enemy.”	
   They’re	
  easily	
  
interchangeable.	
  You	
  must	
  share	
  with	
  us	
  our	
  common	
  enemy,	
  that’s	
  right.	
  You	
  wouldn’t	
  
want	
   the	
   rest	
   of	
   us	
   to	
   think	
   that	
   you’re	
   not	
   one	
   of	
   us	
   stalwart,	
   righteous,	
   marching	
  
patriots	
  of	
  United	
  Conformity,	
  marching	
  joyfully	
  with	
  us,	
  swords	
  all	
  drawn,	
  marching	
  
together	
   down	
   through	
   that	
   big,	
   wide	
   gate	
   into	
   the	
   jaws	
   of	
   hell,	
   would	
   you?	
   You	
  
wouldn’t	
  want	
  me	
  to	
  think	
  you’re	
  not	
  Agency	
  material,	
  would	
  you?	
  You	
  wouldn’t	
  want	
  
me	
  to	
  think	
  about	
  pointing	
  my	
  gun	
  again	
  at	
  you,	
  would	
  you?	
  
	
  
But	
   again,	
   let’s	
   not	
   get	
   into	
   the	
   pejorative	
   aspects	
   of	
   the	
   deal.	
   Because	
   oh!	
   The	
  
really	
  FUN	
  part	
  about	
  destroying	
  our	
  targeted	
  victim’s—your	
  and	
  my	
  targeted	
  victim’s—
er,	
  I	
  mean	
  enemy’s—hum,	
  about	
  destroying	
  our	
  targeted	
  enemy’s	
  very	
  life	
  and	
  measure	
  
is	
  the	
  organized	
  stalking	
  and	
  24/7	
  surveillance	
  part	
  of	
  it!	
  
	
  
Now,	
  I	
  want	
  to	
  go	
  over	
  this	
  aspect	
  of	
  the	
  job	
  once	
  more,	
  because	
  this	
  is	
  the	
  really	
  
fun	
   part	
   of	
   the	
   whole	
   deal!	
   This	
   is	
   where	
   we	
   orchestrate	
   a	
   round-­‐the-­‐clock	
   covert	
  
psychological	
   terror	
   campaign	
   against	
   our	
   target	
   by	
   slowly	
   infiltrating	
   his	
   social	
  
environment	
   and	
   private

   with

intelligent	
   knuckleheads—just	
   like	
   you!—whom	
   I	
   have	
   already	
   deceived	
   into	
   thinking	
  
that	
  I’m	
  one	
  of	
  those	
  “officially	
  ordained	
  public	
  servants”	
  divvying	
  out	
  “secret	
  left-­‐hand-­‐
of-­‐God	
  justice”	
  to	
  all	
  of	
  those	
  “dangerous	
  underground	
  criminal	
  masterminds”	
  ingrained	
  
within	
   our	
   “preciously	
   vulnerable”	
   society.	
   By	
   gosh,	
   we’ll	
   make	
   you	
   feel	
   like	
   a	
  
goddamned	
   hero,	
   you	
   murdering	
   psychopath!	
   As	
   you	
   assist	
   us	
   in	
   treasonous	
  
assassination!	
  
	
  
You	
  peons	
  will	
  believe	
  anything,	
  I’m	
  telling	
  you!	
  For	
  instance,	
  listen	
  to	
  this:	
  I’ve	
  got	
  
a	
  handful	
  of	
  retarded	
  neo-­‐Nazi	
  skinhead	
  bums	
  on	
  the	
  payroll	
  right	
  now	
  in	
  Sacramento—
dirt-­‐cheap!—who	
  actually	
  believe	
  they’re	
  some	
  kind	
  of	
  “international	
  secret	
  agents.”	
  
	
  
Oh	
   yes!	
   Pathetic,	
   emotionally	
   retarded,	
   gangbanging,	
   good-­‐for-­‐nothing	
   racist	
  
BUMS,	
   ladies	
   and	
   gents,	
   strutting	
   around	
   as	
   though	
   they	
   were	
   really	
   something,	
   like	
  
they	
   were	
   cream-­‐of-­‐the-­‐crop	
   government	
   agents,	
   I	
   tell	
   you	
   no	
   lie.	
   Dirt-­‐cheap	
   cannon	
  
fodder.	
  Take	
  a	
  bow,	
  boys.	
  And	
  it’s	
  thanks	
  to	
  retarded	
  criminals	
  like	
  these	
  that	
  we	
  are	
  
enabled	
  to	
  fulfill	
  the	
  purposeful	
  mission	
  of	
  our	
  24/7	
  organized	
  stalking	
  and	
  surveillance	
  
and	
   electronic	
   torture	
   campaign,	
   which	
   we	
   have	
   organized	
   and	
   implemented	
   to	
  
gradually	
   yet	
   incessantly	
   disrupt	
   our	
   target’s	
   daily	
   routines	
   with	
   various	
   coordinated	
  
group	
  strategies	
  designed	
  to	
  cause	
  him	
  to	
  believe	
  that	
  the	
  entire	
  community	
  is	
  involved	
  
in	
   the	
   campaign—instead	
   of	
   the	
   mere	
   handful	
   of	
   spasmodically	
   shifting	
   and	
   bobbing	
  
orchestrated	
  local	
  yokels	
  that	
  we’ve	
  actually	
  unleashed	
  upon	
  him.	
  
	
  
It’s	
  a	
  topnotch	
  professional	
  psychological	
  assault,	
  which	
  is	
  something	
  I	
  truly	
  must	
  
say,	
  while	
  still	
  within	
  earshot	
  of	
  this	
  fine	
  group	
  of	
  prospective	
  recruits	
  gathered	
  before	
  
me	
  tonight.	
  
	
  
This	
   is	
   the	
   wholesale	
   treasonous	
   invasion	
   of	
   our	
   targeted	
   victim’s	
   life,	
   utilizing	
  
both	
  our	
  electronic	
  weapon	
  assaults	
  and	
  our	
  organized	
  group	
  stalking	
  tactics.	
  After	
  only	
  
a	
  week	
  or	
  two	
  of	
  this	
  devastating	
  assault—with	
  all	
  the	
  dirt-­‐cheap,	
  goddamned	
  help	
  we	
  
can	
   get,	
   thanks	
   to	
   you—the	
   victim	
   will	
   be	
   rendered	
   a	
   babbling,	
   drooling,	
   twitching,	
  
paranoid	
   mess	
   who	
   can	
   barely	
   walk	
   the	
   streets,	
   let	
   alone	
   function	
   normally	
   in	
   an	
  
everyday	
  social	
  setting.	
  
	
  
Did	
  I	
  not	
  tell	
  you	
  what	
  fun	
  it	
  would	
  be!	
  
	
  
	
   Please	
  sign	
  up	
  on	
  the	
  list	
  on	
  the	
  message	
  board	
  in	
  the	
  lobby,	
  and	
  we’ll	
  consider	
  
interviews	
  with	
  the	
  more	
  ravenously	
  enthusiastic	
  among	
  you.	
  
	
  
Oh,	
  and	
  don’t	
  tell	
  Bud	
  Miller	
  about	
  this.

COME JOIN OUR GROWING FAMILY OF SOCIOPATHIC DEGENERATES!” THE UNSIGHTLY SERGEANT GRIM Welcomes YOU to Sign Up For COMMUNITY WATCHDOG TORTURE DETAIL! (Mr. Grim’s most recent City Hall seminar speech) So,  these  two  zombies  are  eating  away  at  this  corpse,  right?  So  one  of  the  zombies   says,  “Ooh,  man,  suddenly  I’ve  got  an  upset  stomach!  Have  you  got  any  Tums?”  So  the   other  zombie  tells  him,  “Sorry,  man.  I  already  ate  his  abdomen.”     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     No,  really,  so  there’s  these  two  zombies,  and  they  both  grab  this  politician,  and   they  rip  open  his  skull  and  eat  his  brains!  And  then  he  runs  for  office  and  wins!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     No?  Well,  how  about  some  “Yo  Mama”  jokes?     (Someone  claps  halfheartedly)     Yeah!  Thank  you,  thank  you!  Well.  .  .  Yo  mama  so  dead,  her  boyfriend  used  her  as   a  shield  at  the  last  drive-­‐by!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Yo   mama   so   dead,   she   dated   that   brainless   politician   I   just   mentioned   and   got   whacked  by  his  teenage  intern-­‐slash-­‐girlfriend!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Slash  slash!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Like  what  you  wish  that  politician  would  do  to  your  taxes!
