  1. Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       1   “WELCOME, FELLOW SELF-RIGHTEOUS HYPOCRITES! COME JOIN OUR GROWING FAMILY OF SOCIOPATHIC DEGENERATES!” THE UNSIGHTLY SERGEANT GRIM Welcomes YOU to Sign Up For COMMUNITY WATCHDOG TORTURE DETAIL! (Mr. Grim’s most recent City Hall seminar speech) So,  these  two  zombies  are  eating  away  at  this  corpse,  right?  So  one  of  the  zombies   says,  “Ooh,  man,  suddenly  I’ve  got  an  upset  stomach!  Have  you  got  any  Tums?”  So  the   other  zombie  tells  him,  “Sorry,  man.  I  already  ate  his  abdomen.”     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     No,  really,  so  there’s  these  two  zombies,  and  they  both  grab  this  politician,  and   they  rip  open  his  skull  and  eat  his  brains!  And  then  he  runs  for  office  and  wins!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     No?  Well,  how  about  some  “Yo  Mama”  jokes?     (Someone  claps  halfheartedly)     Yeah!  Thank  you,  thank  you!  Well.  .  .  Yo  mama  so  dead,  her  boyfriend  used  her  as   a  shield  at  the  last  drive-­‐by!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Yo   mama   so   dead,   she   dated   that   brainless   politician   I   just   mentioned   and   got   whacked  by  his  teenage  intern-­‐slash-­‐girlfriend!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Slash  slash!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Like  what  you  wish  that  politician  would  do  to  your  taxes!

Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       2     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Slash  slash!     Ah,  yes,  well  .  .  .  I  do  love  a  recurring  theme.  My  kind  does  so  obsess  sometimes.  I   am   the   Unsightly   Sergeant   Grim,   President   of   your   local   “Community   Policing”   task   force.  On  to  another  hilarious  topic!  Shall  we?     Ahem  .  .  .     Truly  the  most  refreshing  thing  about  a  sociopathic  perverted  scoundrel  like  me   having  virtually  unlimited  funding—thanks  to  your  tax  dollars!—     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     —and  having  absolutely  NO  consideration  for  anybody’s  welfare  but  my  own,  is   the  truly  inspiring  way  I’m  allowed  to  set  up  my  own  private  rules  as  President  of  your   Community  Policing  task  force.  Thanks  to  your  complete  trust  in  me,  I  can  bypass  “due   process”  and  all  that  other  “legal”  mumbo-­‐jumbo,  for  entirely  self-­‐serving  motivations.   After  all,  what  do  you  know?     For  example,  the  most  wonderful  thing  about  having  access  to  electronic  through-­‐ wall   weaponry   and   other   clandestine   assault   and   surveillance   technologies,   and   being   able   to   covertly   torture—with   giddy   glee!—governmentally   targeted   individuals   for   hours  on  end,  is  the  most  hilarious  time  I  and  my  colleagues  in  crime  have,  as  we  listen   to  our  helpless  targeted  victims  insult  us  as  we’re  torturing  them!     Do  I  see  some  glazed-­‐over  eyeballs  among  our  distinguished  audience?  Yes,  you   may  have  heard  something  or  other  here  and  there  about  “electronic  harassment.”  Well,   that   quaint   term   says   nothing   of   just   how   far   we   in   the   government   “security”   racket   have   taken   it.   Our   handpicked   Torture   Squad—our   deceptively   named   “Community   Policing”  crew  of  psychopathic  thugs—do  have  quite  a  field  day  out  in  the  field!  We’re   outstanding  in  our  field.  All  day  and  night.     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     And  I’m  sure  you’ve  also  heard  the  term  “gang-­‐stalking,”  or  “group-­‐”  or  “organized   stalking.”  If  you  haven’t,  where’ve  you  been?  This  is  an  age-­‐old  strategy,  utilized  to  instill   acute   psychological   terror   in   the   hearts   of   our   victims.   We   simply   place   our   targeted   victims  under  24/7  surveillance  (everywhere  they  go!)  and  “give  them  a  hard  time,”  to  
  3. Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       3   put  things  mildly,  with  no  small  assistance  from  neighborhood  watchdog  groups;  and   without  ever  getting  close  enough—accessible  enough—for  our  victims  to  do  anything   about  it.     Ah,   our   favorite   moments   are   when   we   first   ambush   our   initially   unsuspecting   victims,  and  start  hammering  them  all  the  way  down  to  an  inevitable  total  psychological   breakdown.   It   is   during   these   moments   of   inception   that   they   start   lashing   out   profanities,   and   smashing   things   up,   and   alienating   their   family   and   friends,   and   so   forth,  in  their  useless  attempts  to  discover  who’s  really  screwing  up  their  lives.     Not  only  do  our  psychologically  manipulated  and  devastated,  socially  ostracized   and  isolated,  utterly  helpless  targeted  victims  believe  that  their  ranting  and  blaspheming   and   condemning   us   to   hell,   and   all   that   other   carrying   on,   actually   has   some   kind   of   stultifying   effect   on   cold-­‐blooded   malevolent   fiends   like   my   colleagues   and   me—as   though  we  had  a  conscience!—but  they  even  go  so  far  as  to  believe  that  it’s  some  sort  of   psychological  insulator;  a  buffer,  if  you  will,  that  protects  them  in  some  substantive  way   against   our   nonstop   psychological   “take-­‐down”   campaign,   not   to   mention   our   craven   electronic  assaults  upon  their  brains  and  bodies.     Oh,  PUH-­‐LEASE.  Ha-­‐ha!     And   that   is   why   we   prefer   to   conduct   our   severest   covert   assaults   upon   them   between   the   wee   hours   of   morning   and   sunrise.   That’s   when   our   helpless   and   pathetically  clueless  targets  are  always  at  their  creative  peak!  Execratively  speaking,  of   course.  It  has  a  lot  to  do  with  the  tried  and  true  method  of  sleep  deprivation.  My,  but   you   wouldn’t   believe   some   of   the   things   that   come   out   of   their   mealy   mouths,   once   they’ve   been   rudely   and   cruelly   startled   out   of   a   deep   sleep   with   some   nice,   short,   agonizing  microwave  pulse  bursts  to  their  upper  torsos!     I  still  notice  some  deer  in  the  headlights  in  our  esteemed  audience.  Like  I  said,   what  do  you  know?     I  am  the  Unsightly  Sgt.  Grim,  and  I  am  in  need  of  some  dirt-­‐cheap  recruits  for  my   time-­‐consuming  work  in  the  field  of  “Community  Watchdog  Torture  Detail.”  We’ll  get   into  that  as  we  go  along.     But  first,  you  must  understand  that  there  is  a  whole  unseen  world  out  there  that   the  average  passerby  is  unable  to  grasp,  simply  because  the  vast  majority  of  you  hasn’t   the  slightest  concept  of  just  how  far  the  Unsightly  Sgt.  Grim  and  his  demonic  colleagues   will  go  to  attain  what  is  so  important  to  depraved  degenerates  such  as  we.  We,  who  are  
  4. Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       4   among  the  most  perverted—the  most  spiritually  and  psychopathically  undead—that  this   cherished  Land  of  Liberty  has  to  offer.  It  brings  a  rehearsed  tear  to  my  eye.  We,  who  are   willing  to  put  your  basic  human  rights  on  the  chopping  block,  in  order  to  fulfill  our  own   selfish  desires  and  petty  vendettas.     What  I  am  talking  about  is  POWER,  ladies  and  gents.  POWER.     Well,  POWER  and  NOTORIETY,  of  course.  We  do  so  thrill  at  the  anticipation  of   that   oh-­‐so   precious   pat   on   the   back   among   our   morally   derelict   cohort.   POWER   and   NOTORIETY   are   oh   so   reverently   coveted   by   polluted,   self-­‐important,   sadistic   brains,   such  as  the  one  firmly  nestled  within  this  particular  overly  commodious  and  inherently   cockeyed  cranium  teetering  atop  my  own  slithering  spinal  column.     Why,  I  would  actually  perform  this  immoral  covert  governmental  “duty”  for  free!   “Patriotic  service,”  we  like  to  call  it!  Well,  at  least  that’s  a  great  motto  for  the  recruits.   Don’t  you  think?  I  think  not.  Truly,  why  must  we  think  for  ourselves  at  all?  Why,  we’ve   got  the  government  to  tell  us  the  difference  between  right  and  wrong.  Ours  is  not  to   question  why;  ours  is  to  maim  and  kill  when  ordered  to  do  so,  like  obedient  soldiers  for   God  and  Country!  Right?     Hmm,  well,  maybe  if  I  were  assured  my  own  apartment  and  three  squares  in  the   deal,  I  might  be  talked  into  doing  it  for  free.  But  let’s  not  go  and  quote  me  on  anything   for   now;   especially   since   POWER   is   my   prime   motivation.   Leaving   such   an   overt   altruistic  trail  of  breadcrumbs  to  my  doorstep—that  is,  saying  that  I’d  do  it  for  free— might  not  be  the  most  strategic  of  schemes  at  this  time.  Not  when  the  power  I  want  is  so   near  to  within  my  grasp.     Not  to  mention,  we  haven’t  yet  sifted  through  this  present  gathering  of  potential   supporters,  for  proper  chaffing  and  fleecing.  Let’s  not  get  ahead  of  ourselves!       If  I  were  to  tell  you  that  I  was  an  FBI  agent,  or  an  officer  of  the  NSA,  or  a  card-­‐ carrying   member   of   the   Department   of   Homeland   Security—you   know,   one   of   those   rather  uppity  “high-­‐level,”  “upper  tier,”  more  or  less  purportedly  classified  “intelligence”   organizations   that   have   so   recently   been   given   carte   blanche   to   trample   upon   the   inalienable   rights   of   “specially   designated”   United   States   citizens—would   you   believe   me?  You  know,  just  because  I  said  so?  Here,  what  if  I  showed  you  this  badge,  or  flashed   one  of  these  other  seemingly  verifiable  credentials?  Flash  flash,  there  it  is,  it’s  all  official   now.  Isn’t  it?  Can  I  not  now  torture  anyone  I  choose?  And  might  I  not  enlist  your  aid  in   the  process?  May  I  not  indeed  order  you  to  assist  me,  or  commandeer  your  property  and   possessions  in  order  to  fulfill  my  duties?  Well,  sure,  I  just  showed  you  my  badge!  
  5. Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       5     Oh,  you  might  not  believe  me  now;  but  ultimately,  I  know  that  I  could  deceive  you   into  thinking  I  was  a  special  agent.  Or  maybe  I  am  a  special  agent!  Why,  I  can  flash  this   very  badge  of  office,  here,  there  you  go  again,  and  deceive  you  into  believing  a  complete   lie  about  my  being  a  “secret  agent,”  or  “military  bigwig,”  or  whatever.  Honestly,  what  do   you  know,  really?     You  know,  like  an  old  lady  letting  some  strange  man  into  her  home  because  of  his   neatly  pressed  coverall  with  the  utility  company  logo  on  it.  And  a  clipboard  for  effect.   Slash  slash!     (Rim  shot  &  cymbal  crash)     Because  maybe  I’m  telling  the  truth!  Like  I  said,  whatever.  And  not  only  do  I  know   I  could  deceive  you,  or  whatever,  but  I  will  even  get  you  to  do  my  dirty  work  for  me!     Sure  I  could.  All  I  merely  need  do  is  allow  you  to  witness  the  workings  of  a  wildly   new   and   exotic   classified   form   of   electronic   weaponry—something   you’ve   never   seen   before  in  your  entire  life—and  you’d  be  convinced  that  I  was  whoever  I  said  I  was.     All   I   need   do   is   show   you   something   technologically   unavailable   to   the   public,   something   to   make   you   ooh   and   aah   like   a   dopey   wet-­‐pantied   little   schoolgirl,   and   thereby  ply  you  into  performing  treasonous  acts  of  criminal  atrocity  upon  some  of  your   witless  fellow  citizens.  It’s  called  POWER,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  and  I’m  here  to  divvy.     Listen  up.  All  I  need  do,  in  order  to  deceive  you  into  thinking  I  needed  you  for  a   “covert  mission  of  vital  national  security,”  is  to  show  you  how  easily  I  could  invade  the   rights  and  privacy  of  one  of  my  current  nonconsensually  targeted  “test  subjects,”  with  a   mere  bit  of  classified  tech  weaponry  that  would  make  your  store-­‐bought  I-­‐phone  look   like  a  defunct  slab  of  shale.  And  then  I  would  show  you  how—with  the  mere  press  of  a   button   on   my   fascinating   little   piece   of   shiny   high-­‐tech—I   could   torture   my   helpless   little  test  subject  as  you  watched.     As  you  watched!  Right  now!  I  can  transmit  it  to  your  I-­‐phone!  While  he  is  sitting  in   the  erstwhile  privacy  of  his  own  home!     And  with  absolutely  no  strings  attached!     That’s  correct,  ladies  and  gents,  there’s  absolutely  no  way  that  our  “test  subject”   could  ever  do  anything  about  it,  and  there’s  also  no  evidence  pointing  to  you  or  me!  We  
  6. Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       6   have  his  entire  house  wired!  Right  now!  And  we  have  a  cheap  hired  crew  of  good-­‐for-­‐ nothing  criminal  misfits  to  shadow  him  around  town!  Organized  stalking!  Oh,  but  we   call  it  “national  security  civil  surveillance,”  like  the  Nazis  used  to  call  it.  Sounds  better   that   way.   So,   now,   here’s   your   chance.   I   could   get   you   to   help   me   torture   and   harass   him—slowly,  gradually,  softly  and  sweetly,  with  no  strings  attached,  right  now!  That’s   right!  We  can  torture,  maim  for  life—even  murder  him.  Drive  him  insane!  Ha!     And   if   we   do   happen   to   kill   him,   we   can   walk   away   from   the   murder   without   anything  to  worry  about.  No  implications!  No  consequences!  No  complications!  Free  and   breezy!  Cover  Girl.     Of   course,   our   victim   would   have   to   be   someone   whom   we   heretofore   would   already  have  mutually  agreed  we  detest  and  want  brought  to  ruin.  We  don’t  want  any   unnecessary  friction  between  you  and  me!  Do  we?  Of  course  not.     Does  this  intrigue  you?     I   have   here,   in   my   hand,   a   top-­‐secret   classified   portable   electronic   weapon   that   utilizes  a  controllable,  invisible  beam  of  frequency-­‐manipulable  microwave  energy  that   can   be   aimed   and   discharged   at   my   unwitting,   helpless   targeted   subject   from   a   sustainable  outside  distance  of  about  fifty  meters.  This  weapon  can  also  bombard  our   subject  through  any  common  nonconductive  wall  or  floor  or  ceiling  into  an  adjoining   room—although   we   would   have   to   move   in   considerably   closer,   if   we   wanted   to   do   significant  damage  through  one  of  these  obstructions.     Directly  upon  our  unwitting  subject!  Right  through  a  wall!  I’m  telling  you!   Now,  I  do  have  to  briefly  touch  upon  the  fact  that  we  actually  have  the  technology  to   torture  anyone  we  like  via  satellite  or  drone,  or  even  certain  household  appliances;  and   those  more  sedentarily  disposed  among  us  certainly  make  full  use  of  those  options;  but   merely   relying   on   such   remote,   impersonal   weaponry   would   take   away   from   all   the   hands-­‐on  fun  we  ground  troops  have,  what  with  skirmishing  around  town,  with  “boots   on   the   ground,”   so   to   speak,   and   with   all   of   our   retarded   thugs   in   tow,   yakking   on   walkie-­‐talkies  and  all  that  neat  soldier-­‐boy  fun  &  games  malarkey.  It’s  a  snickering  riot!   We  psychopaths  need  to  get  up  nice  and  close  and  intimate,  when  we  engage  in  abusive   behavior.   It   keeps   our   lower-­‐rank   criminal   scumbags   occupied,   and   helps   keep   those   darned  unemployment  figures  down  for  media  release.     Let’s  just  take  all  this  tech  talk  and  boil  it  down  a  bit  more  so  the  more  slowly   grasping  among  you  can  attempt  to  grab  the  nuts  and  bolts  of  it.  It’s  really  quite  simple,   and  perfectly  doable.  Think  about  how  your  typical  everyday  cellphone  functions.  Your  
  7. Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       7   cellphone   can   transmit   and   receive   calls   right   through   the   wall.   Well   then,   there’s   microwave  technology  for  you  in  layman’s  terms,  you  bumbling  baboons,  ha-­‐ha.     Now,   this   somewhat   larger   piece   of   exotic   classified   weaponry   I   am   hoisting   operates  under  the  very  same  scientific  laws;  although  the  output  on  this  little  baby  is   amplified   to   a   rather   more   toxic   and   even   lethal   level   of   directionally   concentrated   microwave  emission.     Oh,  let’s  just  call  it  what  it  is.  Not  emission.  Assault.     This   particular   model   is   also   modified   for   piggyback   ELF   transmission—which   utilizes   acoustics—oh,   you   know,   infrasound,   ultrasound,   bada-­‐bing,   bada-­‐boom— acoustic  frequencies  above  and  below  the  audible  range  of  normal  human  hearing  that   cause  involuntary  mood  alterations,  and  even  inflict  incapacitating  illness  in  our  target.   We  can  bring  down  the  house  with  a  large  enough  ELF  transmitter.  For  real!     This   particular   weapon   also   has   a   combination   auxiliary   MRI/IRF   readout   monitor—the   outdated   version   of   which   one   of   you   dirty   peasants   probably   used   to   search  for  your  filthy  little  fetus  inside  of  you  at  the  hospice!  This  resonator  provides  a   digitally   defined   readout   of   solid   objects   in   scaled   time   and   space—utilized   through   sonics  and  thermal  imagery,  of  course—onto  this  tiny  visual  monitor,  which  is  used  to   locate  and  track  the  test  subject  on  the  other  side  of  that  wall  or  floor  or  ceiling  from   which  I  am  conducting  the  assault.  This  way,  if  my  target  moves  here  or  there  in  the  next   room,  I  can  follow  him  around  and  keep  the  toxic  irradiating  microwave  beam  focused   upon  him  at  all  times.     Or,  I  can  simply  adjust  the  beam  for  wide-­‐range  emission  to  bathe  his  entire  room   with  the  radiation,  and  save  myself  some  unnecessary  walking  around.  I  mean,  once  my   target  has  been  successfully  corralled  and  isolated  inside  his  little  hovel,  why  bother  with   all  that  chasing  and  aiming,  chasing  and  aiming?  I  might  be  trying  to  finish  off  a  turkey   sandwich  or  something.     And  the  infrasonic  resonator  does  wonders  in  incrementing  the  dastardly  effects  of   the  microwave  assault.  It  alters  the  victim’s  mood.  Vertigo,  nausea,  migraines,  you  name   it.  Oh,  don’t  ask  me  about  the  details;  what  do  I  know?  My  job  is  to  press  the  button  like   the  obedient  brainwashed  idiot  I  am.     But  I  can  promise  you  this:  We’ll  have  our  mutual  enemy’s  innards  twitching  and   spasming  in  no  time,  and  to  no  end!  We’ll  have  the  poor  schlep’s  head  throbbing  and   heart  twitching  to  beat  the  band!  Child’s  play!  And  it’s  all  basic  21st  century  technology,

Excerpt  from  “The  Invisible  Tribulation  of  Mr.  Rheingold  Budweiser  Miller”   ©Paul  Sylvester  Stayton       8   folks.  All  perfected  way  back  in  the  last  century.     Hmm,  I  still  notice  a  couple  of  you  are  having  a  hard  time  following  me.  Allow  me   to  explain  the  technology  in  a  different  way.  Let’s  just  take  an  ordinary  microwave  oven   and  remove  the  front  door  from  it.  Now  let’s  just  override  the  fail-­‐safe  mechanism  to  the   door,  which  under  normal  operation  would  prevent  you  from  operating  the  oven  while   the  door  is  open.  Then  all  you  have  to  do  is  point  the  open  end  of  the  oven  at  whomever   you  wish,  and  turn  it  on!  You  surely  wouldn’t  want  to  be  on  the  receiving  end  of  that   deal,  now  would  you?     Now  do  you  understand?     And,  the  microwave  emissions  from  that  oven  will  travel  right  through  a  wall—just   in  case  you  were  thinking  that  you  were  going  to  put  some  distance  between  us  once  I’ve   targeted  you.     That  is,  if  I  were  to  be  targeting  you  specifically.  Heh-­‐heh.     Well   then,   now   let’s   just   put   that   basic   concept   for   a   weapon   into   a   few   busy   decades   of   refinement   in   our   Research   and   Development   Department.   That’s   right!   We’ve   been   refining   it   for   decades!   There   are   literally   tens   of   thousands   of   this   very   model  I  have  here,  in  use  at  this  very  moment,  all  across  the  planet,  within  the  borders   of  each  and  every  member  NATO  nation  that  has  agreed  to  suck  our  exaggerated  phallus   whenever  we  say  so.     Well,  of  course,  yes,  all  of  our  “allies”  (prostitutes)  are  in  on  it,  too.  What’d  you   think?  Isn’t  unregulated  military  freedom  grand?     And  this  is  just  the  tip  of  the  iceberg,  folks.  This  is  merely  the  technology  we’ve   seen  fit  to  reveal  to  you.  We  do  occasionally  use  one  of  our  ace-­‐in-­‐the-­‐hole  options,  in   case  one  of  our  own  decides  to  defect—to  blab,  as  it  were.  We  can  never  be  too  sure  who   will  bite  the  bait  and  latch  on  for  good,  and  who  will  chicken  out.  Good  evil  is  so  hard  to   find  these  days.     Not!     Of  late,  in  larger  cities,  we’ve  actually  been  hiring  the  bargain-­‐basement  services  of   sadistic  gangbangers  to  do  this  treacherous,  treasonous  work  for  us.  Really!  Ooh,  I  notice   that  fits  the  description  of  some  of  you  in  our  esteemed  audience  tonight.  Hello,  fellows!   Well,  hiring  the  likes  of  you  gives  us  a  virtually  unlimited  supply  of  emotionally  retarded,
