Smoke and Mirrors

Their latest harrassment idea is to toggle the circuit breaker off and on rapidly at night. This causes the back-up power supply for my computer to beep, waking me up. They do 30-40 toggles at a 'toggling.' The easy fix is to unplug my computer before hitting the sack. If the power supply does not detect a current drain it won't beep when the power fails. There were two such togglings last night and one this morning which served as an alarm clock (tap from above) about 0900. The circuit breaker is located downstairs in the laundry room, a common area. The circuit breaker game is a long-standing one. I have played it myself from time to time. I once flipped off the breaker to the apartment below us and it stayed off for two days. On other occasions it stayed off for at least several hours. I did that in order to confirm my impression that nobody actually 'lived' down there. I can no longer flip the upstairs breaker because they put a lock on it. The lock allows the breaker to perform its protective function while at the same time preventing mischief.

'Game' may be a good word in the current context. The stalker wants to 'play,' as well as 'communicate.' The tap (above) communicates 'benigh agreement' or 'approval.' As a substitute for actual words it fits the general theme of 'deniability.' Communication with Deniability. Strange idea. The stalker must live in a smoke and mirror world where nothing is as it seems. Must take a lot of effort to maintain such a world. By contrast my world is simple.

Gassing, on the other hand is not 'play.' Gassing is an assault, an attack, and also a form of communicating rage. Gassing forces a response, as in 'conversation.' The gasser controls the conversation. In the sequence, (gas, cough, bang,) the gasser initiates and terminates the conversation. This is control. Control is essential when you live in a smoke and mirror world; smoke needs to appear, mirrors need to move. Choreography comes into play. Control is all the more essential when you have no self-control. The lack of internal control creates a need for external control. You cannot control yourself so you are forced to control others in order to maintain 'order.' This requires, in turn, Power. 'No internal power' requires you to have external power. External Power requires wealth. But wealth is not enough. Knowlege of The Law is necessary. Law is the language of power. You need to speak the language, then you can manipulate the power behind the law, the police (thump).

It is an arduous way to live, but if you are a 'sociopath' you either live that way or you go to jail.
