Messages-The Communication Skills Book, Matthew McKay, Ph.D., Martha Davis, PhD., Patrick Fanning
It s hard to defend against the anger & disapproval expressed in negative metamessages The attack is often so subtle that you aren t aware of exactly how you ve been hurt The basic function of metamessages is to say something covertly that you re afraid to say directly. Since metamessage attack is covert, there is little chance of overt retaliation.
These subtle whispering sneer attacks, & verbal barbs attacks may work best when done repeatedly, & after a person been loosened up with a more overt type of harassment such as noise campaigns, collisions, crowding, & sensitivity tactics. Within a conversation, certain weighted words can be emphasized. Volume, tone & tempo can be changed so that some words are slightly louder & spoken longer than the others. This can completely change the meaning of a message.
The following is a quotation regarding imbedded questions & suggestions as outlined in the book, Patterns Of The Hypnotic Techniques Of Milton H. Erickson, M.D., by NLP experts Richard Bandler & John Grinder. The example at the bottom titled Indirect Imbedded Command is exactly as it appears on page 173, where the weighted words (suggestions) that are to be emphasized when spoken are bolded. Note: When Erickson speaks of the dominant & nondominant hemisphere, he is referring to the conscious & unconscious mind respectively.
Patterns of Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Richard Bandler & John Grinder
“They very often are a presupposition of some other command and serve to distract the dominant hemisphere by having it utilize the internal dialog These imbedded questions are most effective when they are stacked together to maximally distract the dominant hemisphere.
Imbedded commands serve the purpose of making suggestions to the client indirectly and, thereby, making it difficult to resist in any way…
These are most effective when they are also marked analogically by emphasizing the command and by looking intently at the listener, if their eyes are open.”
“Indirect Imbedded Command: “My friends tell me to feel comfortable and to loosen up when we are out on the town.”"(4)
Below is an example of how groups use these suggestions to harass people. Bolded words indicate ones that are emphasized.
Situation:
You ve been blitzed with noise campaigns, crowding & collisions on your way to the bus stop. You feel like you ve been through a minefield & have been hit multiple times (you have). Your heart is pumping. You sit down on the bus begin to relax. A couple sits down across from you & begin a conversation. You overhear bits & pieces of it.
Person 1: His car isn t working.
You: You think, My car is in the shop.
Person 1: They think it s the battery.
You: What a coincidence, my car is getting a new battery, you say to yourself.
Now that they have your attention, the conversation unfolds like this
Person 1: I saw him last week, his car looks bad.
Person 2: That s HORRIBLE What s wrong with it?Person 1: It just keeps
breaking down.
Person 2: I don t want to be in that car in case it should just flip out!
Person 1: That s insane!
Person 2: I hate to see him like that.
Person 1: He s crazy for keeping it. He knows it just keeps breaking down.Person 2: I know
he is. It just broke down so many times
Person 1: Not to be paranoid, but he should just give up on it.Person 2: You re not
being paranoid, but I don’t trust that thing on the highway.
Person 1: Is that crazy or what, is that being insane?
Person 2: he s nuts for keeping it. I told him he s crazy.

A lot of this began with early experimentation on military bases where the spouses of military personnel & their children where targeted. It s really just terrible. And of course your economic or your financial state is destroyed. They absolutely make people loose all their jobs; it s impossible for them to ever work again. -Leuren Moret, president, Scientists for Indigenous People, former City of Berkeley Environmental Commissioner CFRO 102.7 FM August 8th 2005, Topic- Electromagnetic Weapons: The Technology of Political Control
Collisions & Cut-offs
The cut-offs I m talking about here are usually not physical. They re fabricated, but like most Gang Stalking tactics they are designed to look like normal cut-offs that we all experience from time to time. They can happen with vehicles, on foot, or a combination. This type of space invasion is designed to startle you & create tension. It can be thought of as a virtual slap. They are used in blind areas such as corners, hallways, restrooms, or intersections where you constantly have people or cars cutting you off, or almost hitting you. The perpetrator is unseen until he jumps out in front of you. This happens in stores, buildings & on the street, with people & vehicles. Generally, anywhere there is a blind corner.
With some artificially induced cut-offs, the perpetrator is seen at a distance. You & the perpetrator(s) are heading toward the same focal point. It may be a corner, a very small walkway, or a path that cannot accommodate both of you.
They will adjust their timing & rhythm to yours so that they always meet you at that point, so that you will have to squeeze through, stop, or go around because of their deliberate adjustment of timing. The idea is to get your attention & make you uncomfortable. If you re a target, their timing will mirror yours so that a collision will occur.
For example:
[You re on foot & approaching a corner of an intersection, which you are about to cross. You see a vehicle approaching the street you need to cross. There is plenty of time & distance to avoid this collision. Anticipating this, you either speed up or slow down. The vehicle mirrors your actions. You start to think that maybe this person is occupied with something else & you begin to cross the street. As you step off the curb, the vehicle speeds up & meets you at the intersection. The vehicle stops ten feet from you & the man inside waves you on. After this you might fee slightly angry because you know the whole event could have been avoided.]
In a normal situation, both parties will naturally adjust their timing & rhythm to avoid this situation. The main objective is to cause an unnecessary inconvenience. Again, these are usually not physical collisions, they re designed to invade your space & make you unconformable. In addition, people have reported staged accidents with their cars & narrowly escaping death.(101, 200)
Frequency, duration, location & proximity. Early in the morning on a day that is not crowded, it is not normal to have people repeatedly cutting you off inside stores with their shopping carts, or jumping in front of you as you enter a checkout line, or out in the street. These collisions amount to an obstacle course that follows you wherever you go.
And this is only a part of the harassment.
Blocking, Swarming & Space invasion
In parking lots, on foot, on the road, in stores & restaurants. These are staged events that may temporarily prevent you from leaving if you re in a parking lot.(7) You will always have people who you have to go around, or say excuse me to, & people stopping short in front of you to tie their shoe or pick up a coin.
Terrorist Stalking in America, David Lawson
Staged events would included blockading a target s vehicle so he cannot get out of a parking lot. Staged events are used to prove the superiority of the group & they (sic) control the target s time.
Body language is more accurate & reliable than verbal communication.(5) A majority of these non-verbal behaviors such as mirroring, echoing, & pointing take place without conscious awareness.(5, 6) We point with our feet, our torso, our arms & hands, usually toward an object we’re interested in. Also, our eyes have a natural tendency to follow hand movement toward an object being pointed at. Most of this non-verbal communication is unconscious, that is, unless
