Planting of evidence is an old trick experienced by many victims of crooked law-enforcement officers. It's a crime, of course, but it seldom results in prosecution of the perpetrators. Release of the victim is usually the closest society comes to justice in such matters. For victims of the slanderous extra-judicial persecution of "evaluations," however, not even that modicum of relief obtains.

As I left work at 4:30 PM on January 29, 1986, a car sat illegally parked at the corner of Washington & Morton Streets. The sign on its dash said "Police Department" (on other occasions, a car parked in that spot bore a sign that said "Psychiatric Institute," presumably the New York State Psychiatric Institute). Behind it, blocking the fire hydrant, stood a van marked "A.A.A. Locks and Keys" with two guys sitting in it, typical Bob Burns - type snickering snotnoses. They laughed as I passed.

My car was farther down the block, on the other side of the street. When I got in, I noticed a sweet herbal odor that didn't belong there (let's face it, it was the smell of pot). I also noticed that the rear-view mirror was not in the same position in which I had left it (this happened often). As I straightened it, I scowled in the direction of their van, whereupon they promptly drove away at high speed. I couldn't find anything in the car. They had apparently planted contraband there, then "discovered" it in an illegal search for use as "evidence" in one of their "evaluations."

I never faced any charges. They knew their garbage couldn't stand up in court. It doesn't have to. The persecution is extra-judicial. The criminals work through slander and innuendo, under color of law but outside the law. They are outlaws, and, though the law ought to provide protection against their horrendous abuse of public power, officials will not bring them to justice. That's why Virtual America is no longer my country.

Criminals capable of accessing the databases of the FBI and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies are especially dangerous. If they display absolute malice and total disregard of law and Constitution in "using the computer scientifically," as my former employers did in retaliation for my whistleblowing activities, they can compile a mighty compendium of slanderous garbage to use for disinformation and discreditation in seeking the corrupt cooperation of individuals, organizations, and agencies.

It's easy when the person never gets a chance to confront his accusers and set the record straight. In "evaluations," the records of which I have never been allowed to see, my former employers, the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, appear to have held me responsible for everything rotten ever done to, or by, anybody I ever knew.

With absolute impunity, creeps went tip-toeing through the databases, searching for everybody I ever met, everybody to whom I was related (whether I knew the person or not), everybody with the same name as I or somebody I knew, everybody with a similar name, everybody that looked like me, went to the same school, worked in the same place, lived in the same neighborhood, belonged to the same organization, had a similar license plate number, or had any connection, however fleeting or coincidental, with my life. Everything bad that ever happened to any of these persons, everything bad any of them might have done, was blamed on me. They blamed me for crimes I had witnessed, such as the time a home owner in Iselin, NJ brandished a shotgun in his doorway and threatened to shoot the dog of a pretty red-haired neighbor. They even tried to blame me for crimes of which I was the victim, like the day in June, 1978 when somebody smeared dog manure over the windshield of my car.

The "Grand Evaluators, Themselves Unevaluated" even went so far as to pretend that I was somehow responsible for tragic events that were not crimes at all! My college sweetheart, Diane Dix, died of cancer, her parents on one side of her hospital bed and I, clutching rosary beads, on the other. Nevertheless, because her name was similar to that of a strangulation victim, these demented jerks have been going around for years telling people that I'm "suspected" of having killed her.

Both the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments guarantee that no-one may be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. My former employers and their associates made, and continue to make, a howling mockery of these amendments, as well as the First, Fourth, and Sixth.

Guard your liberty and protect your reputation. There are those among us who lie for a living.

The State of New York's "lifestyle investigations" had compiled obscenely invasive personal information susceptible to distortion and exaggeration -- the stuff of malicious myth. The slanderous, criminal "evaluations" produced written summaries that appeared official. The campaign of malicious "database" disinformation provided a great load of absurd, but also official-looking, calumny. These three polluted streams fed a rushing river of hate propaganda whose fetid waters swallowed up conscience and common sense.

In numerous conspiratorial confabulations, the Monsters of Morton Street and their associates distributed this hate propaganda far and wide, using their extensive influence to discredit me in every way possible. They made up whatever lies they needed to, told people whatever they needed to tell them in order to make them refuse to listen to me or cooperate with me. They manipulated people and organizations with revenge fantasies, securing their acquiescence, or actual participation, in acts of harassment and outright terrorism. Though never charged with a crime in any state or nation, though never the subject of any mental competency hearing, I became nevertheless the butt of prejudicial presumption, mindless ridicule, criminal obstruction, and senseless discrimination.

Hyperbolic psychological warfare and propaganda techniques render absurdity palatable. To gullible eyes, the slandermongers can make anyone look crazy, criminal, degenerate. The taunt of New Age torturers is "No one will believe you. Nobody respects you. Everybody laughs at you. You have no allies. You are alone. There is no way out."

Among individuals and organizations, a curious "sacrificial lamb" mentality prevails. Integrity, compassion, and decency fly out the window. Excuses and exceptions are made.

In a process the perpetrators call "complimenting," an unholy amalgam of corrupt cops and prosecutors, sick and twisted intelligence operatives, sinister Mafiosi, and medical and mental health officials make people an offer they can't refuse. I've never observed it, but I think it goes something like this:

"We represent this or that government agency (private foundation, victim's rights organization, etc.). We are here to ask for your cooperation in our investigation (experimental behavior modification program, etc.)"

"Here's a person who will come to you for help. There's something you should know about him. He is suspected of this, diagnosed as that, has a history of such and such, has been positively identified as this one or that one. Look what his neighbor (friend, former spouse, etc.) has to say about his lifestyle and his character. His doctor has this to say about him. Note how silly he looks in this photograph. What would be your first impression if you saw him doing this? The fact is, he's really not who he claims to be. He's really this one or that one. He did bad things and got away with them. You shouldn't believe what he says. He's dangerous. He's mentally incompetent. If you give him any attention, you'll only be feeding his delusions, standing in the way of his rehabilitation. It's best to discourage him. I'm sure you understand that he will only make progress when he is forced to face the truth about himself. That's our goal."

By this time, of course, the person addressed has caught the implied threat: "We can do this to anybody. Here's what we know about you and your organization. Here's how vulnerable you are. Now, you do a lot of good for a lot of people. It would be a shame to see your career -- your organization -- go down the drain just because of this one troublemaker. We don't have a problem with most of what you do. Just go along with us on this one and everything will be all right."

And so they do, and so it is -- for them, for the time being -- but the whole world is turning corrupt, and the end of the day will see the enslavement of all people of good will.

Underneath it all, you see, lurks the base and primal sentiment: "Better him than me."
