The Street Theatre

Harassment comes in many ways. One way is through the street theatre. You may have seen skits being enacted by certain groups to bring awareness to the people on certain issues. These may portray political or social issues which are currently alive. These efforts may or may not enlighten people about the situation at hand. But the street theatre I am talking about here has no such intentions at all. They go the other way. They propagate wrong ideas about the individual concerned if he unwittingly reacts to the skit. If he does not react outwardly the effect is greater. These skits are scripted by the vicious elements in charge of the torture procedure and are meant for the eyes and ears of the victim alone. Many elements of drama would come into the enactment of the skit. Names would be used to make it very clear to the individual that the skit is meant for him. His previous actions would be criticized, his own words would be spoken by others and even incidents in the offing would also be related by strangers in his hearing. Those unfamiliar with the methods in operation would be bewildered and confused and frightened. If this happens then the aim of the skit is achieved.

These methods of harassment are used to tell the victim that they are under constant observation and every single action in their life is under evaluation and are catalogued. This may be the case considering the capability of modern instruments of surveillance, but even in the case that it is not so, stray but intimate information in the hands of strangers would stun the person at the receiving end. It would create neurotic behavior on the part of the victim and would lead to severe paranoia later on. If one can not keep such intimate personal details within ones circle of intimate people, it causes worry. Added to it is the predictions made by the harassers. These would be based mostly on guess work and the theory of probability based on the analysis of the persons likes, dislikes, habits, interests, acquaintances and so on. It actually is easily accomplished if you have created a network of spies within the intimate circle of the individual who is being harassed.

The victim would also be unaware of the forces at work against him and the duration for which they were at work against him, because this might be a much developed stage of the intimidation. In some cases it is believed that the harassment begins from a very early stage, from childhood onwards. The most likely cause for this is hatred against parents for one thing, or the entire family for another. A third cause could be experimentation. In such chronic cases of surveillance, a person’s entire life history would be available for the perpetrators to choose from. It is also likely that the person’s life has been fashioned in a planned manner by these people. Incidents could be created which leaves scars in the psyche of the individual which could be later employed as levers to torment the victim.
Some may say that these are in the vicinity of fantasy, but my friends make no mistake about it, this is happening live in our midst. And if you just take the time to consider these facts it would be very clear to you that these things are doable and is being done all over the world. This is no fantasy; in fact this is the antitheses of fantasy. It is the common man who is forced to live in a world of fantasy created by the media and the TV. Most of do not realize it and the powers that be would always take care that we do not do so at all. We are slowly marching towards a totalitarian world system where a few would hold power and the masses would be subjugated by instruments of repression.

Do not usher in the doom of the world, consider what is happening around you and expose these crimes against humanity.
