Nonetheless, I think it is important to be direct about the situation and the historical record of similar situations in the U.S. Our recent history is full of massive conspiracies of domestic spying, human rights abuses, and governmental coverups. The news media, in spite of our national myths, has typically played along with the coverups and abuses. Thus while we can hope for better, we cannot depend on the mainstream media for fair reporting or on elected officials to act ethically when they know their actions will remain secret.
The emperor truly has no clothes. The more open people are about what is going on the better. It then becomes more likely the press and/or government will address the situation and harder for the psychiatric community to participate in denials. The more victims hear others talking about the situation, the more they know they are not alone and that there are still some people in the world who understand and are still capable of outrage.
I think it is important to understand the completely, ruthlessly amoral nature of some of the torturers, because part of their torture involves ridicule and "moral" judgments. The torturers can now violate people in the most invasive ways ever known, but at the same time use a sort of Puritanical ridicule to demean their victims. People's own personal fears, perceptions, and consciences can be turned against them. It is important to remember that it does not matter what Josef Mengele thinks. His "moral" judgments are groundless, and he is just coldly manipulating his victims and often the society at large.
How many mind control victims are there? I do not know, thousands at the least. Many people could be under surveillance and not even realize it. The potential exists for millions of people to be subjected to this control. It would be good to know the scope of the current problem, but in some sense it is irrelevant. What sort of lottery system are we running where we talk about a 1 in 250,000 chance of being randomly selected for slavery and torture, versus, say, 1 in 100? That assumes a random selection for unconsenting experimental subjects, but certain groups have far higher chances of being selected.
Besides certain experimental subjects, political dissidents are also more likely to be singled out. That is, people considered by someone to be a dissident. In its cointelpro programs of the 1960s the FBI singled out the leaders of "subversive" groups for harassment. In this sort of society it is not only the particular leaders that are harassed who suffer repression. There is the general suppression of ideas and the fear instilled in anyone who sees what happened to others who exercised their free speech rights. In a society where, say, only writers are harassed and no one else, can you say that all non-writers are free?
