"I deplore brutality," he said. "It's not efficient. On the other hand, prolonged mistreatment, short of physical violence, gives rise, when skillfully applied, to anxiety and a special feeling of guilt. A few rules or rather guiding principles are to be borne in mind. The subject must not realize that the mistreatment is a deliberate attack of an anti-human enemy on his personal identity. He must be made to feel that he deserves any treatment he receives because there is something (never specified) horribly wrong with him. The naked need of the control addicts must be decently covered by an arbitrary and intricate bureaucracy so that the subject cannot contact his enemy direct."

No thought should ever be illegal. To make a thought illegal in a society in any way is a method of control.
Do you want to be controlled?
Are you in denial about the degree to which you are now, presently controlled?
Do as I say.
Think as I think.
Or we will put you away.
How do you like me, now?
A free and open media is essential to a society that does not wish to be controlled. Any and all attempts to supress this ideal is equivalent to the first stages of cancer--you remember the motto of cancer, don't you?--kill or get bit, to death.
Memewar wil replace old-skool physical warfare--and it will be pro-active in this refrain: "No more war." Listen: our society is one big brain. The part presently pulling the axon strings is deliberately keeping much of us in the non-know . . . due to previous stages of enlightenment--a highly debilitating dis-cause.
Why, for that last paragraph alone I could be put on The List at the Forces of Pentagon and Petroleum [Tom Robbins' phrase]. The world needs better engines: Geniuses Needed: Apply Now.
Quarks power the universe, and don't let the multiverse forget it.
So anyway, we all need to be researching Goebbels these days to let us in on the current practices of the present Govt Sold To The Highest Bidder which is presently doing precisely what that Bidder wants: practicing Mind Control and Police State.
American Police are unmistakably using Police State tactics in their current clampdown of the New Wave of Global-Modern Activists, and the Big Media is in cahoots. Fight word lines: Burn Your Own Brain.

So anyway, listen, this is where the smart people step in: like fucking Kirk, man, in Star Trek--who always beat the dangers of the new found universe with the powers of his mind only per Roddenberry's original request--You . . . will . . . takeovertheworld. By setting it free! Here's How/Call Now: If you believe that any suppression of human rights including a free society is an ill and wicked thing: then simply pass it on.

FROM A FLYER AVAILABLE AT SEATTLE'S HABITAT CAFE:
THEY ARE IN THERE FOR US;
WE ARE OUT HERE FOR THEM
A young man handcuffed crucifixion style to a cell door. The screams and moans of young women echoing through the cell block C. Another young woman dragged naked, bloody through a garbage strewn prison hall. Hunger strikers denied access to water or toilets. Metal handcuffs pounding, smashing the fingers, hand and wrist of prisoners who refuse to be finger printed.
These are the scenes reported by eyewitnesses from Philadelphia's central prison, the Roundhouse, on Friday morning, August 4th. As the Republican Party National Convention left town, over four hundred men and women remained in jail, many for the fourth day.
. . . Guards, police, and administrators continue to attack protestors in jail, seeking to demoralize and divide. Recently released prisoners have reported eyewitness accounts of widespread abuse that can only be described as torture. There are numerous accounts of arrestees who have been isolated, verbally abused, punched, kicked, thrown against walls, bloodied, and dragged naked across floors, in once instance through a 'trash trough' containing refuse, spittle and urine. There has been a reported sexual assault by a female officer who pulled and twisted a prisoner's penis. Seven witnesses saw one woman dragged naked and bleeding. Diabetics, epileptics, and asthmatics continue to be denied medication. Trauma and psychological stress are evident.
"Ye fucking gods!! Are you nuts!? Those Jesuit bastards will eat you alive!" --Hunter S. Thompson, to me, circa '93
"Man oh man, 'Dr. Menlo.' Now there's an alternative blog. Kindness to animals, Seattle anarchists, nudism galore, SubGenius, anti-Bush black propaganda, jeez louise, Doc, that thing sure is happenin'." --Bruce Sterling, Schism Matrix
"Dr. Menlo is one smart guy, with a sharp eye for images sacred, profane, and in between. Sometimes the doctor riffs on them, sometimes he leaves you to connect the dots." -- Killing the Buddha
"Dr. Menlo is weblog-ilicious!" --Fred Pyen, Metascene
"Who do you trust? I trust Dr. Menlo." --Andrew Abb, gmtPlus9
"Dr. Menlo's links are roadmap of progressive thinking. This site lives somewhere near the western spiral arm of the sensible part of the web. Plenty of sex to be found here." --fucker.net
"Read Dr. Menlo! Support Dr. Menlo! Long Live Dr. Menlo!" --Craig Jensen, BookNotes
"Dr. Menlo is a powerful and idiosyncratic voice." --Eliot Gelwan, Follow Me Here
"Dr Menlo's site deserves your attension. His site opened my eyes to the still-trying-to-be-defined possibilites of blogging, and it's a beautiful thing to behold, like a cultural hub awash on the sea of information. It looks cool too, his style a breathe of fresh air. His girlfriend, Pagan Moss, of the Sensual Liberation Army, is also cool. Her blog Peep Show Stories documents her life working in the Sex Industry. Very inciteful. There's nothing more sexy than a woman who is completely comfortable with her sexuality. *meow*" --SpankThePlanet
