Psychic Vampires
Date: 2003-10-10 By: Joe H. Slate, Ph.D.



Let's face it--we've probably all fallen prey to a psychic vampire, possibly without even knowing it. It may have been a chance encounter with an energy predator that left us temporarily exhausted, or possibly along-term vampire interaction with serious wear-and-tear effects on the mind and body.

Psychic vampirism is alive and flourishing in the world today. As consumers of energy rather than blood, vampires of the psychic kind exist in many guises but with one common trait--their own inadequate energy system compels them to tap into and feed upon the energies of unsuspecting host victims. The immediate results of such a one-on-one vampire encounter are anew but temporary surge of energy for the psychic vampire and a serious loss of mental and physical energy for the unsuspecting prey. If you suddenly feel emotionally or mentally depleted, you may be under attack by a psychic vampire. The unfortunate effects of prolonged energy loss are damage to the energy system itself and in some instances, serious illness.

As consumers of energy rather than blood, psychic vampires, like their folklore counterparts, can be men or women, young or old. They can be tween, teens, or adults. They can be professionals in business suits, wealthy dot. comers, dapper CEOs, ultra-groovy rock stars, or construction workers in hard hats. They can be a business associate, next door neighbor, or even family member.

Long before the popularization of folklore vampires as blood-thirsty villains who sucked life-sustaining blood from their prey, psychic vampires as energy-sucking predators were common. There's strong evidence, in fact, that vampires as consumers of energy were the trailblazers that actually inspired the legendary version of vampires as consumers of blood. An early example with clear fingerprints of psychic vampirism is the Biblical account of Delilah's cunning seduction of Samson in which she vampirized him by cutting his hair, the source of his strength. Even the Biblical version of creation in which God breathed into man the "breath (energy) of life" and then took from him a rib (of energy) to create woman illustrates the transferable nature of life-force energy. That give-and-take make-up of energy is even more dramatically illustrated in the Biblical account of the woman who, upon touching the hem of Christ's garment, was infused with energy while Christ simultaneously felt the energy leaving his body. On a very broad scale, psychic vampire themes were common in many primitive cultures that routinely used rituals to embolden and energize their warriors while simultaneously demoralizing and enfeebling (vampirizing) their enemies. Even today, military strategies often include an excessive show of force--such as shock and awe--to demoralize and dispirit (vampirize) the enemy.

Early Encounters.
In my early childhood, I first became aware of psychic vampirism through a distant relative who claimed to have discovered the secret of living forever. A world traveler, she had studied under several far eastern scholars who, she claimed, taught her how to communicate mentally, travel out-of-body, and extract life-force energy from nature, including trees, streams, and even rocks. But among her most remarkable claims was the ability to mentally extinguish fire by drawing rejuvenating energy from it.

One of my most vivid childhood memories was a festive dinner party at her mansion during which she stunned her guests by demonstrating that amazing skill. Upon taking her place as hostess at the head of a very long table graced by three large candelabras, she commented on the room's excessive light. To the astonishment of everyone, she then leaned slightly forward and mentally extinguished five of the six candles in each candelabra!

Intrigued by her extraordinary claims of power and having seen many of them demonstrated, I began to suspect that she extracted energy not only from nature but from people as well. I finally collected the courage to ask her privately whether she drew energy from people. Placing a hand on my shoulder, she answered, "Well, of course. How else could I live forever?" Although I admit I was left wondering whether to believe her, I suspected that among her preferred energy sources were the well-developed young males who made up her household staff. She remained in excellent health and incredibly youthful in appearance until she finally crossed over during sleep at the age of 101.

Psychic Vampirism in the Laboratory.
With these distant childhood experiences still etched in my mind, I welcomed the opportunity as Professor of Psychology at Athens State College (now University) to lead a study investigating the human energy system. The year-long study, which was funded by the U.S. Army Missile Research and Development Command, identified several important characteristics of that system. Of particular interest was the finding that the physical body's central energizing core and its surrounding energy field, commonly called the aura, are each influenced by the presence of others. Using aura photography along with visual observations of the aura, the study found that the auras of couples whose interactions were positive tended to complement and energize each other, with each aura becoming brighter and more expansive. Conversely, negative interactions tended to constrict the aura and actually induce a state of mental and physical fatigue. When constrictions occurred in the aura, intellectual functions became slower, short-term memory declined, and physical strength decreased by as much as 50percent.

513_vamp1_250A later study funded by the Parapsychology Foundation of New York not only confirmed the findings of our earlier research, it showed that certain persons were highly skilled at deliberately tapping into and directly feeding upon the aura of others. By draining energy from another person's aura, these so-called psychic vampires not only deplete the aura's energy resources, they interrupt the capacity of the aura's central core to generate new energy, particularly when the interaction is prolonged. Consistent with our earlier findings, direct observations of the aura as well as aura photographs taken before and after a psychic vampire interaction showed the victim's aura becoming severely de-energized and constricted following an attack while the vampire's aura became energized and expansive. I was reminded of my aunt's claim of deliberately drawing energy from others, a claim that now seemed considerably more plausible.

513_vamp2_350My more recent studies uncovered even more vivid evidence of psychic vampirism and its effects. Both visual observations and aura photographs revealed ominous tentacle-like structures extending outward from the vampire's aura during an attack to puncture and draw energy from the victim's aura. As expected, such onslaughts dramatically expanded the invading vampire's aura but seriously dulled and constricted the host victim's aura, a condition that often lasted for days. Even more seriously, vampire puncture wounds to the aura often required weeks to heal. (As an important footnote, all observations and photographs obtained throughout our studies were with consent of informed volunteer subjects, most of whom were college students. Both observational and photographic assessments obtained during an actual psychic vampire interaction were obtained from couples who were in an on-going relationship. All participants in our vampire studies were offered counseling and provided instruction concerning the use of appropriate intervention and protection techniques.)

Although the human energy system is indestructible--it is literally the soul of our being--its capacity to generate the energy required for daily living can become severely impaired. Long-term, continuous psychic vampire attacks can have devastating consequences that reach far beyond damage to the energy system. Like the host victims of their blood-sucking counterparts, victims of recurring psychic vampire assaults can become--dare I say--psychic vampires themselves in a desperate effort to replenish their lost supply of energy.

Protection Techniques.
Fortunately, highly effective strategies are now available to prevent a psychic vampire attack, or once it's underway, to promptly end it. These laboratory tested strategies can also promote healing and repair damage to the energy system resulting from long-term vampire assaults. They can even be used effectively by psychic vampires provided they are motivated to overcome their energy addiction.

513_vamp3_267One of the most effective protection procedures known is the Finger Interlock Technique. Developed in our labs, this technique is easy to implement, and its effects are instant. To begin this technique, simply bring together the tips of your thumb and middle finger of each hand to form two circles. Then, bring your hands together to form interlocking circles while envisioning your body enveloped in a bright sphere of impenetrable energy. Finally, relax your hands and simply affirm, "I am now energized and fully protected." This simple, inconspicuous technique requires only seconds and can be used almost any time or place. With practice, you can use the finger interlock gesture alone as a cue to instantly activate the effects of the full procedure.

A former student who found herself under a psychic vampire attack during a job interview used the Finger Interlock Technique to instantly end the attack and gain control of the interview process. She was offered the position at a salary that far exceeded her expectations. She attributes her successful interview to the simple Finger Interlock Technique.

Aside from its effectiveness as a psychic vampire protection procedure, the Finger Interlock Technique has many other useful applications. Overcoming stage fight, improving memory, and promoting positive social interactions are all within its scope. You can use the technique to induce instant relaxation during important examinations, public presentations, and conferences, to list but a few of its many applications. A former student, now a practicing attorney, attributes his admission to law school largely to his use of the technique during the entrance exam. The technique, here ported, effectively reduced his stress level and stimulated his recall of important information. Because the technique is so inconspicuous and easily executed, it has become popular among public figures including actors, politicians, performing artists, and TV personalities. If you observe their hands, you will notice many of them using the simple finger interlock gesture.

That old and trusted stand-by, the quartz crystal, has almost unlimited potential as a psychic empowerment tool. Throughout my career as a college professor and practicing psychologist, I've found that almost everyone is responsive to this tool. Because of its receptivity to programming, the crystal is an excellent tool for such personal goals as losing weight, quitting smoking, promoting career success, and even slowing aging (See my book Rejuvenation: Living Younger, Longer and Better). My students have used this tool to raise their grade point average, gain admission to graduate school, and get the job of their choice. One of my former students successfully programmed the crystal to find the love of her life! I've used the crystal to get research grants and introduce parapsychology into the college curriculum (a first in Alabama). The phenomenal success of the International Parapsychology Research Foundation, which has funded student scholarships and psychical research, is largely due to crystal programming.

At a personal level, I've found the quartz crystal to be unsurpassed in its capacity to protect against psychic vampirism. For that purpose, I recommend the Crystal Protection Procedure because of its capacity to erect an outer protective shield around oneself that renders any vampire attack harmless.Once the crystal is appropriately programmed and then kept in close proximity to the physical body, the protective shield remains in place to provide constant protection. The procedure is particularly effective in protecting against prolonged exposure, such as when a psychic vampire may be living or working right alongside you.

For this procedure, you can use a crystal already in your possession, or you can select a fresh one from an assortment. When selecting a crystal from an assortment, first state your goal of complete protection from psychic vampirism, and then slowly pass your hand, palm side down, across the assortment. Select the crystal that seems to stand out from the others, and while holding it, note your interaction with it. If the crystal does not seem appropriate for your stated goal, repeat the process until you find a receptive crystal. Not infrequently, the crystal in an assortment that first commanded your attention is ideal for your present use.

Once you've selected a crystal, deprogram it by briefly holding it under cool running water and then letting it air dry on a towel. To install the new program, simply hold the crystal in your hand, and while gently stroking it, invite it in your own words to be your empowerment partner by working with you to neutralize and defeat psychic vampirism in whatever its form. To save the program, simply say, "Please stay."

The Finger Interlock Technique and the Crystal Protection Procedure can be used separately or together to provide constant protection from psychic vampirism. Everyone can benefit from the use of these procedures. I use them regularly and make it a practice to teach them to my students and patients because of their effectiveness in promoting a sense of security and well-being by erecting an impenetrable sphere that envelops the full aura. You can view this interesting phenomenon called the halo effect around your own aura by first holding your hand, palm side outward, at arm's length, and then while viewing your hand against a neutral background, slowly expanding your peripheral vision. Finally, let your eyes fall slightly out of focus, and you will see the aura around your hand as a colorful glow surrounded by an outer halo of bright energy. (As a footnote, this technique can be easily adapted to view the aura of another person. For that application, see my book Aura Energy for Health, Healing, and Balance.)

Many Faces and Unsuspecting Guises.
As already noted, psychic vampirism comes in a variety of unsuspecting guises. We see it all to commonly between individuals as one-on-one vampirism, but feeding on the energies of another person is only one of its many forms. For instance, anyone who exploits a lover, spreads malicious rumors, ruins a reputation, or betrays a trusted friend is a psychic vampire.

On a much broader scale, psychic vampirism can occur in a vicious, collective form as sometimes seen among organizations that feed on prejudice and hate, or corporations that blatantly vampirize their employees through deception and greed. Narcotics trafficking, organized crime, and so-called "ethnic cleansing" along with discrimination based on age, race, gender, or sexual orientation are examples of collective psychic vampirism on an alarming scale. In its most widespread collective form, psychic vampirism can exist at a global level. Reckless pollution of the environment, irresponsible disregard for endangered species, and exploitation of the globe's natural resources are examples of global vampirism that affects everyone and literally puts the future of the planet at risk.

Finally, it may seem hand to fathom, but psychic vampirism can occur in a self-contained, parasitic form that turns inward to feed upon oneself. In that internal form, the person ironically becomes both vampire and victim. Examples are such flagrant consumers of our energies as phobias, obsessions, and compulsions that can hover over us like monsters waiting to devour us.

One of my patients, a 22-year-old art major, when asked to draw a picture of his fear of heights, drew a lifeless figure of himself being held in the claws of a giant monster. His drawing vividly depicted the over powering vampire nature of his fear.

In my past-life regression studies, parasitic vampirism was often found to be related to some painful, unresolved past-life experience that continues to hound us in this life. Here are a few examples drawn from college students:

Deep insecurity and fear of abandonment were reactions to being an outcast and homeless in a past life.

Fear of enclosed places resulted from having been buried alive in a past life.

Fears of rats, spiders, and crawling insects were associated with imprisonment in an infested dungeon in a past life.

Fear of heights was associated with having fallen to one's own death in a past life.

Compulsive overeating was associated with a past-life of extreme hunger and stealing food to survive.

Stage fright and fear of crowds were reactions to death by public execution in a past life.

In a remarkable example of parasitic vampirism with threads of past-life origin, a 22-year-old student's fear of sunlight, along with the compulsion to wear dark shades even when indoors, was a reaction to past-life torture in which his eyelids were cut away and he was left to die in the desert with his arms bound behind his back.

Incredible as it may at first seem, our case studies found that knowledge of the past-life sources of parasitic vampirism was often sufficient in and of itself to overcome this plight. In many cases, phobias, obsessions, and compulsions with a very long history were instantly extinguished through a sudden flash of new knowledge.

One of the great teachers of all time summed up the power of knowledge this way: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. "Knowledge remains perhaps the most powerful force in the universe. Among our greatest challenges is finding new knowledge and applying it to empower our lives while making the world a better place for all. Who could argue with that?

Anxiety Disorders

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an extremely debilitating condition that can occur after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that can trigger PTSD include military combat; violent personal assaults such as rape or mugging; natural or human-caused disasters such as the terrorist attacks of September 11; or accidents.

People who develop PTSD include military troops involved in combat; rescue workers; survivors of accidents, rape, physical and sexual abuse, and other crimes; immigrants fleeing violence in their countries; survivors of natural disasters; and people who witness traumatic events. Families of victims can also develop the disorder.

Fortunately, through research supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), effective treatments have been developed to help people with PTSD. Research is also helping scientists better understand the condition and how it affects the brain and the rest of the body.

Particularly in a time of war, it is important for people to be aware of the causes and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder to ensure that they and their loved ones are getting counseling and support if needed.
Symptoms

Many people with PTSD repeatedly re-experience the ordeal in the form of flashback episodes, memories, nightmares or frightening thoughts, especially when they are exposed to events or objects reminiscent of the trauma. Anniversaries of the event can also trigger symptoms. People with PTSD also experience emotional numbness and sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, and irritability or angry outbursts. Feelings of guilt are also common. Most people with PTSD try to avoid any reminders or thoughts of the ordeal. PTSD is diagnosed when symptoms last more than one month.
Prevalence

At least 3.6 percent of U.S. adults (5.2 million Americans) have PTSD during the course of a year. About 30 percent of the men and women who have spent time in war zones experience PTSD. One million war veterans developed PTSD after serving in Vietnam. PTSD has also been detected among veterans of the Persian Gulf War, with some estimates running as high as 8 percent.
Onset

PTSD can develop at any age, including in childhood. Symptoms typically begin within three months of a traumatic event, although occasionally they do not begin until years later. Once PTSD occurs, the severity and duration of the illness varies. Some people recover within six months, while others may not do so for much longer.
Treatments

Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy and exposure therapy, in which the patient repeatedly relives the frightening experience under controlled conditions to help him or her work through the trauma. Medications have also been shown to help ease the symptoms of depression and anxiety and help promote sleep. Scientists are attempting to determine which treatments work best for which type of trauma.
Co-occurring Illnesses

Depression, alcohol or other substance abuse, or anxiety disorders are not uncommon co-occurrences for people with PTSD. The likelihood of treatment success is increased when these other conditions are appropriately diagnosed and treated as well.

Headaches, gastrointestinal complaints, immune system problems, dizziness, chest pain, or discomfort in other parts of the body are also common. Often, doctors treat the symptoms without being aware that they stem from PTSD. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), encourages primary care providers to ask patients about experiences with violence, recent losses and traumatic events, especially if symptoms are recurring. When PTSD is diagnosed, referral to a mental health professional who has had experience treating people with the disorder is recommended.
Likelihood of Developing PTSD

People who have been abused as children or who have had other previous traumatic experiences are more likely to develop the disorder. Research is continuing to pinpoint other factors that may lead to PTSD.
Research

NIMH and the Veterans Administration sponsor a wide range of basic, clinical and genetic studies of PTSD. In addition, NIMH has a special funding mechanism, called RAPID Grants, which allows researchers to immediately visit the scenes of disasters, such as plane crashes or floods and hurricanes, to study the acute effects of the event and the effectiveness of early intervention.

Research has shown that PTSD clearly alters a number of fundamental brain mechanisms. Because of this, abnormalities have been detected in brain chemicals that mediate coping behavior, learning and memory among people with the disorder. Recent brain imaging studies have detected altered metabolism and blood flow as well as anatomical changes in people with PTSD.

The following are also recent research findings:

*

Some studies show that debriefing people very soon after a catastrophic event may reduce some of the symptoms of PTSD. A study of 12,000 schoolchildren who lived through a hurricane in Hawaii found that those who got counseling quickly were doing much better two years later than those who did not.
*

People with PTSD tend to have abnormal levels of key hormones involved in response to stress. Cortisol levels are lower than normal, and epinephrine and norepinephrine are higher than normal. Scientists have also found that people with this condition have alterations in the function of the thyroid and in neurotransmitter activity involving serotonin and opiates.
*

When people are in danger, they produce high levels of natural opiates, which can temporarily mask pain. Scientists have found that people with PTSD continue to produce those higher levels even after the danger has passed. This may lead to the blunted emotions associated with the condition.
*

It used to be believed that people who tend to dissociate themselves from a trauma were showing a healthy response, but now some researchers suspect that people who experience dissociation may be more prone to PTSD.
*

Animal studies show that the hippocampus -- a part of the brain critical to emotion-laden memories -- appears to be smaller in cases of PTSD. Brain imaging studies indicate similar findings in humans. Scientists are investigating whether this is related to short-term memory problems. Changes in the hippocampus are thought to be responsible for intrusive memories and flashbacks that occur in people with this disorder.
*

Research to understand the neurotransmitter system involved in memories of emotionally charged events may lead to discovery of drugs that, if given early, could block the development of PTSD symptoms.
*

Levels of CRF, or corticotropin releasing factor—the ignition switch in the human stress response—seem to be elevated in people with PTSD, which may account for the tendency to be easily startled. Because of this finding, scientists now want to determine whether drugs that reduce CRF activity are useful in treating the disorder.

what are you.. a satanist now? Anton Lavey coined "psychic vampires".

you're awesome man.

While there are probably a lot of people out there who would be quite content never to read another post about Blackmark, human life is full of artificiality, perversion, and misery, much of which is caused by feckless simpletons. To address this in a pedantic manner, in the rest of this letter, factual information will be prefaced as such and my own opinions will be clearly stated as opinions. For instance, it is a fact that documents written by Blackmark's confreres typically include the line, "Anal-retentive slobs should be fêted at wine-and-cheese fund-raisers", in large, 30-point type, as if the size of the font gives weight to the words. In reality, all that that fancy formatting really does is underscore the fact that Blackmark maintains that either embracing a system of ruffianism will make everything right with the world or that we should be grateful for the precious freedom to be robbed and kicked in the face by such a noble creature as him. Blackmark denies any other possibility. Having studied his charges and finding them groundless, I must now tell the world that my love for people necessitates that I introduce an important, but underrepresented, angle on Blackmark's deplorable inclinations. Yes, I face opposition from Blackmark. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder.

What do you think of this: We can't let Blackmark enrich himself at taxpayer expense? If the only way to teach headlong mendicants about tolerance is for me to become increasingly frustrated, humiliated and angry, then so be it. It would surely be worth it because Blackmark is reluctant to resolve problems. He always just looks the other way and hopes no one will notice that it is pointless to fret about the damage already caused by his depraved effusions. The past cannot be changed. We must cope with the present if we hope to affect our future and step back and consider the problem of his expedients in the larger picture of popular culture imagery. The problem of self-absorbed sots serves as an excuse for Blackmark to express his own hostility and frustrated need for power, as evidenced by the way that every time Blackmark tells his encomiasts that he has the mandate of Heaven to confiscate other people's rightful earnings, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question. His maudlin preoccupation with classism, usually sicklied over with such nonsense words as "deanthropomorphization", would make sense if a person's honor were determined strictly by his or her ability to show us a gross miscarriage of common judgment. As that's not the case, we can conclude only that his goal is to sentence more and more people to poverty, prison, and early death. This is abject alcoholism!

Blackmark, does the word "interdifferentiation" mean anything to you? There is no place in this country where we are safe from his understrappers, no place where we are not targeted for hatred and attack. Sure, he talks the talk, but does he walk the walk? Fortunately for us, the key to the answer is obvious: He hates people who have huge supplies of the things he lacks. What Blackmark lacks the most is common sense, which underlies my point that he seems to have recently added the word "pericardiomediastinitis" to his otherwise simplistic vocabulary. I suppose Blackmark intends to use big words like that to obscure the fact that he argues that I am impulsive for wanting to act against injustice, whether it concerns drunk driving, domestic violence, or even nihilism. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago. When was the last time you heard Blackmark mention that his functionaries are encouraged -- or more aptly, dragooned -- into helping him burn our fair cities to the ground? Probably never. That's why I frequently talk about how it's time to put up or shut up. I would drop the subject, except that when I first became aware of his covert invasion into our thought processes, all I could think was how his cronies argue that his terrorist organization is looking out for our best interests. These are the same humorless wisenheimers who scar little children's self-image. This is no coincidence; we must sincerely provide a trenchant analysis of Blackmark's pranks. Does that sound extremist? Is it too abominable for you? I'm sorry if it seems that way, but that's life.

Don't let Blackmark delude you into thinking that hanging out with shiftless, unctuous bozos is a wonderful, culturally enriching experience. He's just trying to confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition. This should be a chance to examine and bring problems to light, to share and join in understanding, but he appears to have found a new tool to use to help him make it virtually impossible to fire incompetent workers. That tool is snobbism, and if you watch him wield it, you'll clearly see why if I didn't think he would cause (or at least contribute to) a variety of social ills, I wouldn't say that I do not find causeries that are misinformed, effete, and despicable to be "funny". Maybe I lack a sense of humor, but maybe he really believes that his stratagems prevent smallpox. What kind of Humpty-Dumpty world is he living in? The answer to that question has broad implications. For example, Blackmark gives me the heebie-jeebies. That concept can be extended, mutatis mutandis, to the way that there is no such thing as evil in the abstract. It exists only in the evil deeds of evil people like Blackmark.

Blackmark's prank phone calls may have been conceived in idealism, but they quickly degenerated into disingenuous Trotskyism. It is a figment of Blackmark's runaway imagination that the sky is falling, but I guess nobody ever explained that to his coadjutors. Moreover, Blackmark's taradiddles cannot stand on their own merit. That's why they're dependent on elaborate artifices and explanatory stories to convince us that Blackmark's antics epitomize wholesome family entertainment. The struggle against insecure, infernal headcases must be a struggle against absolutism, insurrectionism, and quislingism, or it is doomed to failure. Here's a specific example of the way in which Blackmark's convictions are based on prejudices and preconceived notions: He wants to mete out harsh and arbitrary punishment against his adversaries until they're intimidated into a benumbed, neutralized, impotent, and non-functioning mass.

Blackmark should think about how his imprecations lead repugnant wankers to create some dotty, pseudo-psychological profile of me to discredit my opinions. If Blackmark doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet. His method (or school, or ideology -- it is hard to know exactly what to call it) goes by the name of "Blackmark-ism". It is a rabid and avowedly insensitive philosophy that aims to subvert time-tested societal norms. He says that we should derive moral guidance from his glitzy, multi-culti, hip-hop, consumption-oriented conclusions. What he means by this, of course, is that he wants free reign to allow federally funded research to mushroom into a delirious, grossly inefficient system, hampered by mean-spirited geeks and abusive, feeble-minded rumormongers. Now, perhaps you think I'm imagining things. Perhaps you think that Blackmark really isn't going to redefine unbridled self-indulgence as a virtue, as the ultimate test of personal freedom. Well, I wish it were just my imagination. But you know, I am now in a position to define what I mean when I say that society as a whole should act as a unifying force to free people from the spell of solipsism that he has cast over them. What I mean is that all of the bad things that are currently going on are a symptom of Blackmark's slaphappy witticisms. They are not a cause; they are an effect.

An armed revolt against Blackmark is morally justified. However, I aver that it is not yet strategically justified. He often starts with a preconceived story and then plugs in supposed "information" in order to create a somewhat believable tale. This implies that if everyone does his own, small part, together we can encourage opportunity, responsibility, and community.

I can no longer get very excited about any revelation of Blackmark's hypocrisy or crookedness. It's what I've come to expect by now. There are some simple truths in this world. First, grungy converts to fogyism all over the country are now having an absolute field day with their new-found freedoms supposedly granted by Blackmark's philippics. Second, an unholy alliance of anti-democratic scalawags and lethargic profiteers has been instrumental in devising increasingly fatuous ways to glorify dangerous renegades. And finally, Blackmark's eccentric statements can be quite educational. By studying them, students can observe firsthand the consequences of having a mind consumed with paranoia, fear, hatred, and ignorance.

If Blackmark bites me, I will unquestionably bite back. Just the other day, some of his mudslinging vassals forced a prospectus into my hands as I walked past. The prospectus described Blackmark's blueprint for a world in which what I call pesky quidnuncs are free to convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. As I dropped the prospectus onto an overflowing wastebasket, I reflected upon the way that it's debatable whether it is our responsibility to ourselves, to our posterity, to our ancestors, and to the God of Nature, which made us what we are, to follow through on the critical work that has already begun. However, no one can disagree that by comparing today to even ten years ago and projecting the course we're on, I'd say we're in for an even more childish, corrupt, and uninformed society, all thanks to Blackmark's cock-and-bull stories. If an attempt to exhibit a deep disdain for all people who are not effrontive hooligans isn't socially inept, it certainly is stultiloquent. Even though Blackmark insists that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold, I honestly insist that anyone with eyes and a brain can tell that if he can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.

Was Blackmark just trying to be cute when he said that he can absorb mana by devouring his nemeses' brains? I sure hope so, because he commonly appoints ineffective people to important positions. He then ensures that these people stay in those positions because that makes it easy for him to leave a large part of this country's workforce dislocated and disillusioned. He contends that he has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature. Excuse me, but where exactly did this little factoid come from? Now that this letter has come to an end, let me remind you that it was intended to provide an accurate, even-handed, and balanced discussion of Blackmark and his precepts. Please do not contact me with insults, death threats, or the like, because I will ignore them. If you disagree with my arguments or can provide further information about Blackmark, please contact me and I will endeavor to make any necessary corrections to this post.

I prefer Jayne Mansfield myself.
