when you left
for the front
you were
living heroes
and now
you are on top
of the hill
where only
poppies
blow..........

on a white stone
like a general
passing on
the blame
to God
row on row
innocent soldiers
lie forgotten

Wargasm - Jan Theuninck, 2001


Wargasme
je me suis éloigné du moi
il commençait à tuer le tu
le désir de l'autre s'est en allé
enfin la séparation libératrice
reste une intégrité explosive
une jouissance mortifère

Fear - Jan Theuninck, 2001


The existential fear of the contemporary human being
                                                   http://viewonbuddhism.org/fear.html
http://viewonbuddhism.org/buddhismus-deutsch/g-furcht-angst.htm


Popularized by the American sociologist Barry Glassner, culture of fear (or climate of fear) is the concept that people may incite fear in the general public to achieve political or workplace goals through emotional bias.
A largely unrelated concept in sociology is the "fear culture" on the Guilt-Shame-Fear spectrum of cultures


 la politique de la peur est une expression qui désigne la politique d'un gouvernement qui utiliserait la peur de la population pour faire adopter des mesures réduisant les libertés individuelles


Freedom from fear is listed as a fundamental human right according to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights :

Aldous Huxley in 1958 : people in fear are very easy to control

"SHOA"
juif errant , juif maudit
et nul mot sur eux est interdit
traités de crimes et de trahisons
ils ont été mis en prison

on les a torturés et tués
au nom d’une infâme idée
et maintenant plus que jamais
a qui le tour s’il vous plaît ?

© by Jan Theuninck


Ebreo errante, ebreo maledetto,
e nessuna parola su loro è proibita
sospetto di crimini e tradimento
sono stati messi in prigione

sono stati torturati e assassinati
in nome di un'idea insana
ed ora, più che mai
chi è il seguente, prego?

wandering Jew, damned Jew
and no words on them are forbidden
suspected of crimes and treason
they have been put in jail

they have been tortured and murdered
in the name of an insane idea
and now - more than ever -
who is next, please? 

Ewiger Jude , verdammter Jude,
und kein Wort für sie ist verboten.
Für Verbrechen und Verrat beschuldigt
sind sie eingesperrt worden.

Man hat sie gefoltert und getötet
im Namen einer infamen Idee,
und heute mehr denn je:
Wer werden die Nächsten sein?

kóbor zsidó, átkozott zsidó
nincs rájuk tiltott szó
bûntettek, árulás vádjával
börtönbe zárták õket

kínozták és gyilkolták õket
egy eszetlen eszme nevében
most pedig - most leginkább -
kérik a következõt.

Neostasi - Jan Theuninck, 2012



                                                                   Neostasi

- a Stasi modus operandi with among other things use of gas chamber technology on individual scale -->(binary) chemical weapons - directed-energy weapons, etc

Today Stasi agents use psychotropic/chemical/pharmaceutical and many other weapons 

The Stasi perfected the technique of psychological harassment of perceived enemies known as Zersetzung – a term borrowed from chemistry which literally means "corrosion" or "undermining".
By the 1970s, the Stasi had decided that methods of overt persecution which had been employed up to that time, such as arrest and torture, were too crude and obvious. It was realised that psychological harassment was far less likely to be recognised for what it was, so its victims, and their supporters, were less likely to be provoked into active resistance, given that they would often not be aware of the source of their problems, or even its exact nature. Zersetzung was designed to side-track and "switch off" perceived enemies so that they would lose the will to continue any "inappropriate" activities.
Tactics employed under Zersetzung generally involved the disruption of the victim’s private or family life. This often included psychological attacks such as breaking into homes and messing with the contents – moving furniture, altering the timing of an alarm, removing pictures from walls or replacing one variety of tea with another. Other practices included property damage, sabotage of cars, purposely incorrect medical treatment, smear campaigns including sending falsified compromising photos or documents to the victim's family, denunciation, provocation, psychological warfare, psychological subversion, wiretapping, bugging, mysterious phone calls or unnecessary deliveries, even including sending a vibrator to a target's wife. Usually victims had no idea the Stasi were responsible. Many thought they were losing their minds, and mental breakdowns and suicide could result.
This is exactly what happens in Western Europe since decades...
We defeated the Soviets, meanwhile a Stasi culture engulfs Europe... (Jan Theuninck, August 14,  2009)
Abbiamo sconfitto i sovietici, nel frattempo l'Europa è inondata da una cultura Stasi(Jan Theuninck, 14 Agosto 2009)

Nous avons vaincu les Soviétiques, tandis qu'une culture de la Stasi engloutit l'Europe ... (Jan Theuninck, 14 août 2009) Worse than East Germany, worse in the sense that the people there knew about it (as a French pharmacist once explained to me) https://indepen.nl/is-de-nctv-de-moderne-geheime-dienst/
