Need for legislation

Those that use instruments of torture would always want to keep their activities hidden from the general public. The public is volatile, it is swayed by passion, and even though unaware of the deadliness of the technology being in use would nevertheless react violently once the facts are generally known. It is best to avoid such ramifications. The coolest method to do this is by a disinformation campaign. This is easily accomplished since such researches have always been classified and most people think that these instruments are still in the realm of science fiction. Little is known generally about them.

Agents would be planted on various forums to laugh it off. The individual who is being subjected to the harassment would be labeled as mentally unsound and hallucinating. Technical articles would be presented stating that such development is too far fetched at this juncture. The absence of conclusive evidence on the part of the accuser would cement the argument in the minds of the listeners in favor of the disinformation agents.

The politicians may be or may not be aware of the developments in this esoteric field. Even if they are let in to the secrets, they would not understand it for one thing and for another they would think it a good idea to have such weapons at hand when a crisis comes. The use of the weapons would be strictly to control unruly crowds and criminals and also if necessary against our opponents outside the country they would be told. This line of approach would greatly gratify their ego and they would tend to believe that danger for native population is almost non existent or is minimal. You know, the executive is a part of the public and they would not hurt their own people would they?

Un named amounts of money is being yearly spent on such anti people researches all over the world. Mostly these are handled by Secret Service organizations in the respective country. They can not make their every activity public, can they? Every one knows that for sure! So goes the argument. Very true, it would appear. But have any one thought whether there are legislations to make sure that instruments which violate peoples right to lead a free life would not be made by these organizations. If such things are accepted in the attitude of “Oh it’s against them and not us” we would better start thinking fast. All experiments against “them” would in reality involve our own safety as well.
Ascertaining whether there are such instruments of torture in existence or not is not as important as enacting legislation to prevent unscrupulous people from utilizing the trust and power given to them in this manner. In the modern age we may have to tie the cart in front of the horse at times because the developments taking place all over the world is at such a pace that existing laws and legislating experience are lagging far behind.

Let us alert ourselves against the dangers lurking in the “classified” darkness
