you have resigned yourself to the idea that there is nothing you can do. You are defining yourself by what others are doing to you.
I didn't insinuate that you were responsible for their actions. I stated that you resigned yourself to not doing anything about it.
No one is going to stand up for you. There is only one person that can help you; that's you.
It would be demeaning to you, for me to offer sympathy because that would be the same as calling you weak.
But we are talking about your mind here. That's your domain.
By posting here I am furthering my understanding of this system and perhaps that of others; this is doing something about it. By defining this system as integrating with myself or programming me does not imply that I have given up on trying to stop it or that I willfully allow its influence. Please stop accusing me of inaction when you have only a sample of my experience.
I think I see your underlying point, if I have interpreted it correctly: the victim mentality can be detrimental to stopping further abuse.
No one is going to stand up for you. There is only one person that can help you; that's you.
There is my family and community. This issue is outside of most people's experience or knowledge so it is difficult to understand. If you haven't noticed, I am trying to comprehend it.
It would be demeaning to you, for me to offer sympathy because that would be the same as calling you weak.
That is what I view as false/insincere sympathy.
Again, this interference is a physiological response and even though my mind could be perceived as my own domain, it is still being and has been heavily influenced by this system.
Please share any techniques which have worked for you to overcome this interference (and please don't reference my experience, stay within yours so as to avoid any miscommunication).

Hmm, I guess I'm chopped liver. Aliens don't abduct me anymore. BlackOps don't mind control me anymore. AI don't communicate with me anymore. Even my pet rock ran away from home.
Alright, my pet rock is still here but the other is true. Teach the AI a little truth and suddenly you're the bad guy.
"A petty tyrant is a tormentor," he replied. "Someone who either holds the power of life and death over warriors or simply annoys them to distraction."
...
The new seers, in accordance with their practice, saw fit to head their classification with the primal source of energy, the one and only ruler in the universe, and they called it simply the tyrant. The rest of the despots and authoritarians were found to be, naturally, infinitely below the category of tyrant. Compared to the source of everything, the most fearsome, tyrannical men are buffoons; consequently, they were classified as petty tyrants, pinches tiranos.
He said that there were two subclasses of minor petty tyrants. The first subclass consisted of the petty tyrants who persecute and inflict misery but without actually causing anybody's death. They were called little petty tyrants, pinches tiranitos. The second consisted of the petty tyrants who are only exasperating and bothersome to no end. They were called small-fry petty tyrants, repinches tiranitos, or teensy-weensy petty tyrants, pinches tiranitos chiquititos.
I thought his classifications were ludicrous.
...
"You haven't yet put together all the ingredients of the new seers' strategy," he said. "Once you do that, you'll know how efficient and clever is the device of using a petty tyrant. I would certainly say that the strategy not only gets rid of self-importance; it also prepares warriors for the final realization that impeccability is the only thing that counts in the path of knowledge."
He said that what the new seers had in mind was a deadly maneuver in which the petty tyrant is like a mountain peak and the attributes of warriorship are like climbers who meet at the summit.
"Usually, only four attributes are played," he went on. "The fifth, will, is always saved for an ultimate confrontation, when warriors are facing the firing squad, so to speak."
"Why is it done that way?"
"Because will belongs to another sphere, the unknown. The other four belong to the known, exactly where the petty tyrants are lodged. In fact, what turns human beings into petty tyrants is precisely the obsessive manipulation of the known."
...
"Four attributes are all that is needed to deal with the worst of petty tyrants," he continued. "Provided, of course, that a petty tyrant has been found. As I said, the petty tyrant is the outside element, the one we cannot control and the element that is perhaps the most important of them all. My benefactor used to say that the warrior who stumbles on a petty tyrant is a lucky one. He meant that you're fortunate if you come upon one in your path, because if you don't, you have to go out and look for one."
He explained that one of the greatest accomplishments of the seers of the Conquest was a construct he called the three-phase progression. By understanding the nature of man, they were able to reach the incontestable conclusion that if seers can hold their own in facing petty tyrants, they can certainly face the unknown with impunity, and then they can even stand the presence of the unknowable.
"The average man's reaction is to think that the order of that statement should be reversed," he went on. "A seer who can hold his own in the face of the unknown can certainly face petty tyrants. But that's not so. What destroyed the superb seers of ancient times was that assumption. We know better now. We know that nothing can temper the spirit of a warrior as much as the challenge of dealing with impossible people in positions of power. Only under those conditions can warriors acquire the sobriety and serenity to stand the pressure of the unknowable."

And I was wondering what 'occult' associations you could have had, since childhood, that could possibly influenced some sort of selection for such treatment.
I haven't experienced dramatic popping events such as plastic bags or tupperware containers popping open. I have experienced synchronistic popping noises coming from sources like my television set, car and walls. I explain this as directed electromagnetic energy being used to heat these materials at particular stress points causing them to expand and contract which creates popping noises. While this happens my thoughts are synchronized to interact with these noises.
Others have heard the synchronistic pops when with me
Also based on my experience this system can manipulate electronic circuits using what I assume to be a sophisticated form of electromagnetic interference.
you are making generalizations that are in some cases false
Interestingly, a few years before this I had a dream where I tried methamphetamine (which seemed strange since I had an unclear idea of what it was then); this was also one of the few dreams which I have recorded.
indeed the above post seeking ways to better enhance the discussion is precisely what I find lack with sunny
I dont think I have the correct technical explaination of these events. Maybe you all can shed some light on that.
