Ending Organized Covert Torture

I. What Is Organized Covert Torture? 

“Organized covert torture” is defined as a multitude of conspiring individuals’ knowing and willful course of conduct that inflicts extreme or cruel pain or suffering by non-impulsively and clandestinely causing grave bodily injuries, centrally coordinated by an abusive organization. These injuries are mostly invisible or often seem to have naturally occurred, and are inflicted in such sophisticated methods as to render the victim’s torture complaint perceived as delusional or paranoid. A device or weapon, from which an electrical current, pulse or beam, wave, or sound wave may be directed to incapacitate temporarily, injure, torture or kill, namely, a “directed energy weapon” including a “microwave weapon” used to invisibly maim the brains of the U.S. diplomats in Cuba, is often deployed to cause such invisible torturous injuries.

The purposes of organized torture include discrediting the victim who filed a civil or criminal complaint against a member or an associate of the covert torture organization, discrediting a whistle-blower or a non-consensual human experimentation subject, punishing the victim for the act the victim committed, coercing the victim, gaining sadistic pleasure, and for any reason based on discrimination of any kind. In lieu of abducting the victim, which results in the sudden disappearance of the victim and naturally raises law enforcement’s suspicion, the torture organization centrally coordinates the systematic, organized surveillance and harassment of the victim by a multitude of conspirators, i.e., “organized stalking” (a/k/a, “gang-stalking,” “contract stalking”) in order to keep the victim under the control of the torture organization. Nadar v. General Motors Corp at the NY Court of Appeals in 1970 marks the seminal case of organized stalking by establishing the tort of “invasion of privacy” in the U.S. The defendant paid security company agents to stalk the plaintiff in an organized fashion, in order to coerce the plaintiff not to publish a book criticizing the defendant’s products’ safety-design defects.

The police across the globe have summarily dismissed the victims’ complaints claiming that the victims are delusional or paranoid, and wrongfully detained the victims in psychiatric institutions for observation, in violation of Article 14.1.b of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which expressly declares, “the existence of a disability shall in no case justify a deprivation of liberty.”

The major media, such as the New York Times, have superficially portrayed organized stalking victims as delusional/paranoid in a ridiculing tone, thereby socially objectifying the victims. The superficial derision and the social objectification of organized stalking complainants by the media reporters ironically prompt these reporters to fail to seek truth, which ought to be the objective of journalism in the outset.

Mike McPhate’s article on organized stalking, “The United States of Paranoia,” in the New York Times cites Lorraine Sheridan’s article on gang-stalking published in the Journal of Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology as impeccable authority. Sheridan’s article concludes that the gang-stalking complainants are delusional by most negligently failing to conduct research on the cutting-edge technologies of militarized neurotechnology, about the abuse of which all the gang-stalking complainants claim in the study. The U.N. Human Rights Council’s resolution titled “Neurotechnology and human rights” warns that “neurotechnology allows the connecting of the human brain directly to digital networks through devices and procedures that may be used, among other things, to access, monitor and manipulate the neural system of the person.” Human Rights Council Resolution 51/3, Neurotechnology and human rights, A/HRC/RES/51/3 (6 October 6 2022) available at https://daccess-ods.un.org/tmp/3814329.80298996.html. Such cutting-edge militarized neurotechnology include the microwave auditory effect, introduced by Allan Frey in Journal of Applied Physiology, and a brain-computer interface introduced by Norbert Weiner in his book, Cybernetics, in 1948. Sheridan’s failure to take into account the existence of these neurotechnology in diagnosing gang-stalking complainants proximately causes Sheridan to superficially conclude that the gang-stalking complaints indicating the abuse of the said technologies are “impossible and thus delusional.” A former high ranking officer from the Security Industries Specialists, Inc., Bryan Kofron, testified in 2017 that his company, as well other security companies, routinely used such “total individual control technology” of neurotechnology against the company’s targets.

Organized covert torture is a sophisticated crime against humanity motivated by desires for domination and control. The torturers gain a manic sense of power, self-confidence, and sadistic pleasure by controlling and destroying the victim whom the torturers discriminatorily perceive as less in human worth. Organized torture serves the purpose of extra-judicially punishing the target for attempting to disturb the wrongfully assumed (by the torturer) hierarchy of human worth (between the torturer and the target) in order to reinstate such hierarchy.

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims the principle of the equality of rights, dignity and human worth among all categories of humans. Furthermore, Article 17 of CRPD vindicates the principle of the equality of human worth between those with and those without psychosocial disabilities. Human worth is not a “zero-sum game.” One cannot “gain” one’s human worth by destroying another human’s life through organized covert torture. The pieces of legislation the NGO proposes at the U.N. Human Rights Council categorize the mental state of a desire for subjugation, while committing a violent criminal action, as the guiltiest mental state, in determining judicial punishment, in order to participate in the socio-juridical undoing of such a subjugation desire itself.

II. How will our NGO contribute to end organized covert torture through legislation mainly at the UN Human Rights Council?

At the California State Legislature in 2018, our small NGO, albeit unincorporated then, proposed a bill titled the Organized Torture Act, while collecting donations from about 100 individuals from all over the world. Please see the following URL for reference: www.gofundme.com/end-torture. The proposed bill declares that organized covert torture is a crime against humanity. Under the existing law, the police have discretion as to whether to investigate an organized covert torture complaint. The bill proposal establishes the police’s ministerial duty to investigate an organized covert torture complaint, even if the complaint seems prima facie delusional or paranoid. The bill proposal expressly punishes any police officer who conspires in organized stalking and organized covert torture. A police officer is civilly and criminally liable for an injury suffered by an organized torture victim who belongs to such classes of people intentionally selected for victimization, including people with psychosocial and/or social disabilities, if the officer’s act or omission, where the act or omission was the result of the exercise of the discretion vested in the officer, causes such an injury. The police officer shall not be entitled to be indemnified. It is not the taxpayer but the police officer her/himself who shall be held responsible for her/his abusive actions. The bill expressly make the offense of a mental health professional or medical doctor who purposefully, knowingly or recklessly facilitates, conceals or legitimizes organized covert torture or organized stalking, by giving a wrongful psychiatric diagnosis, such as delusional disorder or paranoid schizophrenia, to the victim of organized torture and/or organized stalking, or by tampering with medical evidence concerning physical injury sustained by an organized torture victim. The bill establishes enhanced sentences for persons who lead (centrally coordinate) organized covert torture.

Early in 2018, upon the request of Assembly Member Shirley Weber, Ph.D.(UCLA), from San Diego, the California Office of Legislative Council converted my bill proposal into “bill text language,” and the proposal was assigned Reference Number 18 07462. Unfortunately, no California state legislator has introduced this proposed bill for the 2018 and 2019 plenary sessions.
