DEPOSITION continues as I think back to what FEEDBACK I was hearing BEFORE I knew I was hacked and captured by illegal surveillance------everyone hears a neighbor whether outside or somewhat in row houses through walls not amplified but general activities---before knowing of this capture late Fall/first of year I noticed NOSY NEIGHBOR communicating in ways that seemed strange-----definitely makes one feel a degree mental instability may be behind these FEEDBACK conversations.

For example, while hearing what I call SEX TALK in FEEDBACK one does not immediately think someone is illegal surveilling---it could just be that NEIGHBOR having that right to speak on their own property even if I didn't like the content.  So, at first while able to HEAR this FEEDBACK SEX TALK----VOYEUR discussion of my habits inside apartment, my reaction was still at that point thinking a NOSY NEIGHBOR was simply IRRATIONAL not thinking it threatening.

An example which showed escalation was when I was out back walking down BASEMENT STAIRS and NOSY NEIGHBOR was communicating with what appeared to be me----while acting as though she WAS ME. 

FEEDBACK from NOSY NEIGHBOR-----

I LIKE HER------SHE IS GOOD TO ME--------


What has occurred since January when I recognized I was being illegal surveillance by camera and microphone was the growing use of psychological FEEDBACK CHATTER like described above.  What became apparent at this point in my case was NOSY NEIGHBOR in this illegal surveillance PORNOGRAPHY was trying to create this APPEARANCE that the victim of these illegal captures WERE ENSLAVED-----OWNED AND CONTROLLED by these NOSY NEIGHBOR PORNOGRAPHY groups.  The chatter I share above was simply that.  In VOICE DUBBING these streaming videos which are sold on a BLACK MARKET DARK WEB PORN SITE as we posted yesterday as example from IRELAND -----this attempt to make it appear ORDINARY US CITIZENS black, white, or brown are somehow CAPTURED TO A DEGREE OF HAVING NO CONTROL OVER THEIR LIVES.

I was not saying those words above-----I was not saying I like her-----she is good to me---------it was NOSY NEIGHBOR doing voice dubbing to fit the illegal surveillance videos they were taking inside and outside my building and apartment.



Now, victims of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG as I state over and over DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE BEING SURVEILLED----they DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE BEING MADE PORNOGRAPHY-----they HAVE NOT CONSENTED so, the victims are not the one's saying these statement above----

IT IS NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG saying what is clearly STOCKHOLM SYNDROME psychological structures.  This is why from early on ----in January I have structured my DEPOSITION and understanding of this ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE structure around terms tied to STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.  STOCKHOLM SYNDROME is a term developed during WW2-----and the installation of far-right wing global corporate FASCISM-----via HITLER/STALIN/MAO.  These fascist structures used these VERY SAME psychological 'warfare' techniques on their 99% of citizens back then.

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME MODEL WAS USED AT ABU GHRAIB BY PRISON TORTURERS.


So, this is why I use these terms in advancing my SEXUAL ASSAULT by SEXUAL PREDATORS tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.



There is no universally accepted definition of the Stockholm Syndrome but it has been suggested that it is present if one or more of the following is observed:



positive feelings by the captive towards his/her captor.
negative feelings by the captive toward the police or authorities trying to win his/her release.


positive feelings by the captor towards his/her captive.

It has been found to occur in circumstances where there is:



a perceived threat to survival and a belief that the captor is willing to carry out that threat.
a perception by the captive of some small kindness from the captor within the context of terror.
isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor.
perceived inability to escape.



The following explanation has been put forward for the phenomenon.


The abuser (or captor) terrifies the victim, who cannot escape, by threatening his or her physical or psychological survival. As a result of being terrified the victim needs nurturance and protection. Being isolated from others, the victim must turn to the abuser for this if s/he turns to anyone. If the abuser shows the victim some small kindness this creates hope in the victim, who then ignores her rage at the terror-creating side of the abuser (because this rage would be experienced as overwhelming) and bonds to the positive side of the abuser. With the hope that the abuser will let him or her live, the victim works to keep the abuser happy. In trying to determine what will keep the abuser happy, the victim's own needs, feelings and perspectives must take second place and s/he unconsciously takes on the world view of the abuser. The victim sees the abuser as the "good guy" and those trying to win his/her release (e.g. police or therapists) as the "bad guys", as this is the way the abuser sees things. Over a period of months or years, the victim's entire sense of self may come to be experienced through the eyes of the abuser. The victim may have extreme difficulty leaving the abuser, if the opportunity arises, because s/he no longer sees a reason to do so.

___________________________________________

As I discussed these few months of heightened FEEDBACK on THE NETWORK tied to CHATTER meant to scare/intimidate/humiliate me with goals of forcing me to MOVE-----forcing me to feel I had to JOIN with this NETWORK as supporting the NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG system what I saw were indeed the REAL VICTIMS OF STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

When FEEDBACK says-------SAY IT and people SAY IT----when FEEDBACK says --SAY YOU LIKE US------and people say they like THE NETWORK----when FEEDBACK says ----SAY IT and people say THEY DON'T CARE ------I see what is UNQUESTIONABLY ------people captured in this STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

Throughout these few months I have DOCUMENTED these FEEDBACK whether from NOSY NEIGHBOR or general chatter because it clearly identifies a CAPTURED mentality------clearly identifies people identifying with what are DEPRAVED ACTIVITIES such as SEXUAL PREDATOR ------ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE PORNOGRAPHY.


In describing who are part of THE NETWORK----I don't everyone in THE NETWORK is tied to CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY SEXUAL PREDATION-----I often use the term 5% GLOBAL BANKING FREEMASON/GREEK players who at this point in US are increasingly the only one gaining employment.  This is why I feel very sure these STOCKHOLM SYNDROME activities are tied to BEING EMPLOYED these days.

 One of the top drivers in being targeted by this part of what we call THE NETWORK is SPEECH.  If someone dares speak out against THE POWER STRUCTURE of a city----against PUBLIC POLICY MOVING FORWARD in these cities deemed FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONES-----they become TARGETED with goals to SILENCE that person ------to make them feel they have no ability to escape from societal structures being installed as part of what I call ONE WORLD ONE GOVERNANCE DEEP, DEEP, REALLY DEEP STATE-----nothing more STOCKHOLM SYNDROME than that goal.

Below we see a current article albeit FAKE NEWS global banking 1% media ------discussing this very phenomena.  I as a victim of NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG psycho-sexual attacks KNEW IMMEDIATELY what this MODEL of SEXUAL PREDATION was copying.

SERVING 'THE ONE' -----

This article makes one believe THE ONE is a US President for example----CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA --now TRUMP.  What we know to be THE ONE-------is the people at the top of this global movement of ONE WORLD ----I call this OLD WORLD KINGS AND QUEENS ---KNIGHTS OF MALTA---TRIBE OF JUDAH who were behind all these MADMEN of WW2 driving all of what was later defined as STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

As I develop my lawsuit surrounding SEXUAL VIOLENCE in this case  I am documenting why my case MAY BE suitable for INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT which was created back in this period to HOLD THOSE MADMEN accountable for DEPRAVITY and uses of these TORTURES.


As a US SOVEREIGN CITIZEN I do not need the ONE -----THEM -----or whoever is tied to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG in order to restore a SAFE condition in my residence-----I simply need to use RULE OF LAW----whether US FEDERAL LAW----or LAWS OF NATIONS  tied to HUMAN RIGHTS and several centuries of COMMON LAW/TREATIES stating my human rights as too my US CIVIL RIGHTS.

I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK JUSTICE AS A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN NOT BOTHER WITH JOINING NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG TO 'ESCAPE' THIS ILLEGAL CAPTURE OF MY LIVING SPACE.


This shows my pattern in developing my DEPOSITION for coming LAWSUITS against SEXUAL ASSAULTS from SEXUAL PREDATORS in my community and each community in BALTIMORE.


The Nuremberg Syndrome: “SERVING ‘THE ONE’” 

by Thomas Pastore

August 15, 2016 The-EditorThomas Pastore

The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held by the Allies after World War II which were most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, judicial and economic leadership of Nazi Germany who planned, carried out, or otherwise participated in the Holocaust and other war crimes. The trials were held in the city of Nuremberg, Germany.


   The effects of these trials and the transcripts of “defense” left a residual effect in many countries that allows those in power to lose perspective of who they are there to serve.

   The Nuremberg Syndrome: “…these misdeeds did not happen according to my wishes…Once again I would stress that I am guilty of having been obedient, having subordinated myself to my official duties . . . .  That is what the government did” — Words of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi trying to defend his World War II atrocities at his trial, held in Israel in 1961.


   These are the words of a political criminal who felt his obedience to one man was justified because the “needs of the many” or the country became less important than the selfish needs of the few or, in this case, the “One.” This blind, robotic, worshiping of one man’s dream is what destroyed a most powerful but dangerous country, a country that became divided into two separate nations for many decades and is still feeling the effects of one man’s evil dream.


   This man-made attitude continues to exist today and has infected a country that had great potential as a standard-bearer of real and responsible exercises of freedoms and liberties, the once United States of America. These last 7-1/2 years have shown an administration defying the “rule of law,” ignoring the Constitution, and conducting the business of the people as “ruler” and not as a leader.
___________________________________________

One of the most common FEEDBACK these few months of my fighting NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography falls within this model of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.  The goal of this psych-sexual capture is to make the victim---as me-----feel he/she has no connection in community ----with family or friends.  THAT IS THE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.

I constantly here other people being threatened THE ONE on this NETWORK to be identified---to be 'HIT' which means placed under this illegal surveillance and pornography------to have FRIENDS AND FAMILY 'HIT' if that person, like myself does not embrace this STOCKHOLM SYNDROME structure.

Now, whether one believes any person daring to SMILE at ME------talk to ME------communicate with ME-----will feel a retaliation-----THE THREAT is the goal to induce FEAR AND INTIMIDATION.
 

Supposedly, after some months of this NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG retaliation -----I am being deemed as SUPPORTED BY NO ONE-------no wonder.

I will be using LAWS OF NATIONS in my legal pursuits ---this document tied to international laws/treaties for thousands of years having been modernized over time----because it expresses all those HUMAN RIGHTS I have in many areas ---such as free speech to fight public policy----political POWER in this city-----as well as advancing this LAWSUIT against NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG.  LAWS OF NATIONS also dictate societal norms for OFFENSES to include SEXUAL ASSAULTS/PREDATION as not THE NORM/CRIMINAL


Those I call the global banking 5% freemason/Greek players black, white, and brown who love to say WE DON'T CARE------if EMPIRE ALICE DOES NOT CARE-----are trying to kill all these several centuries of SOCIETAL NORMS under LAWS OF NATIONS.

Looks like both the TENET and the BUILDING OWNER have rights to PRIVACY and property ownership which is NOT CAPTURED by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG illegal surveillance and pornography.



UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
'Article 19.
 
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers'.




'Even the whole UN notion of “human rights” should be viewed for what it is: a tool of tyrants to attack the real rights that have underpinned Western traditions since the Magna Carta. Indeed, unbeknownst to average Americans and humanity as a whole, the UN means something very different when it discusses “human rights” than, say, the unalienable, God-given rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. In the American system, rights such as self-defense, free speech, religious liberty, trial by jury, privacy, and property ownership are endowed by the Creator upon every individual — a truth that America’s Founding Fathers viewed as “self-evident.”'

__________________________________________

Below I share what in Baltimore is a typical residential building structure I am quite sure is captured by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.  Whether my row house style of residential living or these larger CONDO COMPLEXES----every building in my community as too very likely this building as been subjected to RENOVATIONS/BUILDING REPAIRS which have opened the door to NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG installing these illegal surveillance equipment/devices----and/or hacking into a building' electrical circuitry. 

A CITY does not OWN PROPERTY. This is the same THE CITY owning a hotel---THE HILTON.  Our government is not in the business of being private residential building owners.

This area of West Baltimore MOVING FORWARD in next phase of US FOREIGN ECONOMIC ZONE development into a global corporate campus/global factory no doubt saturated with NOSY NEIGHBORS AND THE GANG. 

Yes, THE MAYOR KNOWS THIS.


Come to Baltimore and expect your living space will be captured by NOSY NEIGHBOR AND THE GANG.

Mayor Pugh’s mover got city-owned condo at bargain price


EXCLUSIVE: Politically-connected mover gets condominium at well below market rate. Pugh fails to abstain from BOE vote.

Shortly after moving Mayor Catherine Pugh into her new Ashburton home last summer, Allen P. Burrus was awarded a city-owned condominium at signifiantly under its appraised value.


Burrus gained title to unit 203 of the Hanlon Park Condominium through an agreement of sale authorized by the mayor and the Board of Estimates on September 26, 2018 – approximately two months after Allen & Son Moving & Storage moved the mayor into her new Ellamont Road house.


The mayor’s office has not responded to a request by The Brew for comment on the house move, including documentation showing that she paid the politically well-connected Burrus for the move. Burrus also has not responded to Brew inquiries.


The condo sale was approved by Pugh and three of four board members despite a sales price of $11,500 – or 28% below the unit’s $16,000 appraised value.


City rules require that board members abstain from voting on matters, especially financial matters, that involve friends, family, associates or other potential conflicts of interest.


The only board member who abstained was Comptroller Joan Pratt, who is in charge of disbursing surplus municipal real estate and also runs her own CPA firm.

Pratt said she abstained because she did accounting work for Burrus more than a decade ago. “It has been my practice to abstain from votes on anything that I may have been involved in personally or professionally,” she said.


City rules further require the BOE to obtain the best price for any city property undergoing sale.
A review of recent sales at the Hanlon Park Condominium, a well-kept brick building on Hilton Street and Liberty Heights Avenue, show prices of equivalent square-foot units from $40,000 to $52,319.
The unit purchased by Burrus is currently assessed at $41,800 by the Maryland Depart of Assessments and Taxation.


Estate Gave Condo to City

The condo unit had been donated to the city in June 2014 as part of a final estate disbursement. In September 2015, the City Council passed an ordinance approving the condo’s sale to the public.


It is not known whether Pratt’s office received prior bids on the property or whether it was ever offered for sale to the public.
The Brew has requested this information from the comptroller and the real estate department, which is run by Walter J. Horton.


[This story incorrectly stated that the Comptroller’s office failed to respond to this request. The Comptroller’s office had not been contacted. Since publication, that office has been queried and is working to respond to the request.]


Yesterday The Brew disclosed that Horton received a $500 campaign contribution from Burrus while running for a state delegate seat in the 41st District.


Horton lost in the June 2018 Democratic Party primary.
Water Damage Lowers Price

By all measures, Horton’s department arranged the condo sale to Burrus in record time.
Usually, such sales take many weeks, if not months, to wind their way to the Board of Estimates, especially if they require approval by city’s property sales review committee.


This sale went from appraisal on August 30, 2018 to approval by the BOE on September 26, 2018.


However, during this time frame an unusual event took place, especially during the mild summer weather of last September:


“Subsequent to the appraisal, the property suffered structural deterioration due to extensive water damage,” the BOE was told by Horton’s office.
As a result, the sale of the unit was lowered from the appraised value of $16,000 to $11,500.


Pugh and the board approved the below-market sale, according to BOE records, not only because it “will promote economic development” by returning a property to the tax rolls, but will be “a specific benefit to the immediate community, as the purchaser intends to create an affordable rental unit upon completion of repairs.”


The condo, located four blocks from the mayor’s new residence, is in a building that is a block from Lake Ashburton.
