The Secret Police and Con Edison
by George Dahl
Upon returning to New York I began looking for a place to live. I
looked at around ten apartments and called to inquire about several
others. Since the secret police had already selected and prepared an
apartment for me this proved to be a futile endeavor. I signed a two-year lease for apartment twenty-four at 620 East 11th Street and
moved to the building in November. The apartment provides me
with a place to live but it also provides the secret police with a
living environment they control. The building where I live, the
surrounding buildings and the neighborhood serve as a theatrical
set; and the "tenants" of my building, neighborhood characters, and
intelligence agents stage a theatrical production. Controlling the
immediate neighborhood is a security measure and it allows
maximum freedom of action for staging operations. The building I
live in is connected to four other buildings; when I look out my
only window with a "view" (one window is boarded up and three
others face an interior light well) I see the back of a row of
buildings on 10th Street. These buildings form a unit that is
flanked by three empty lots. the secret police use these nine
buildings for staging operations and own some or all of them. The
buildings may have been purchased but it is very likely that they
were acquired from the City of New York through Mayor Koch.
The city government owns many buildings in the area due to non-
payment of taxes and abandonment. I believe most of these
buildings have no tenants or caretaker tenants. The two largest
buildings were being renovated when I moved to my apartment and
appeared to be almost tenantless until the summer of 1982. Either
they acquired tenants that summer or the secret police expended a
greater effort to make them seem inhabited. The two buildings were
renovated at a minimum cost of $500,000 each, so even if all the
other buildings were acquired from the city, the secret police spent
over one million dollars to provide me with a $115.00 a month slum
apartment. ...
The basic strategy of the secret police is to be everpresent; at all
times and in all places they make themselves an intrusive,
oppressive and inescapable presence. They involve themselves in
every detail of my life and are present everywhere I go. At first I
dismissed the strategy of being everpresent as silly game-playing,
but the intelligence agents responsible for planning operations
clearly intended their use of thousands of collaborators to be a form
of non-violent harassment; a psychological assault designed to have
a negative psychological effect. Being everpresent is intended to be
more of an invasion of consciousness than an invasion of privacy.
Being everpresent is used as a means for stealing reality, and thus
the ability to function normally in a real world. The secret police
have imposed upon me a substitute reality; they have dismembered
and appropriated the real world and placed me in a labyrinth of
intelligence operations. It is difficult to relate to and impossible to
adjust to the artificial, arbitrary and hostile living environment the
secret police have created. By being everpresent they try to turn the
most commonplace life experiences and the activities of daily life
into a maze-like obstacle course and to make the living of everyday
life a frustrating, unnatural and disorienting experience. Since
secret police operations began I usually made a note of a detail or
incident only if it stood out as unusually intrusive, offensive or
bizarre. Sometimes I kept daily accounts of every aspect of secret
police operations and listed every encounter with an agent or
collaborator. Basing an estimate on the days and weeks when I
counted agents and collaborators, and acknowledging that the
nature and intensity of operations has changed over the years, I
believe that a minimum of forty thousand American citizens have
participated in secret police operations since they began in 1977. It
is a curious reversal of everything this country has ever stood for
that two Presidents, many of their closest associates and
supporters, and personnel of law enforcement agencies now
constitute the single largest group of citizens engaged in organized
criminal activity.
I am followed everywhere partly as a security measure but also
because it is necessary to know where I am at all times in order to
conduct secret police operations. At any given moment several
intelligence agents work together choreographing street theater and
surveillance operations. Agents and collaborators follow me on foot
and in vehicles; while maintaining radio contact, they pass me on
like a relay team passes on a baton. Most of the surveillance agents
appear to have been recruited from the FBI and the New York City
Police Department. After observing my behavior and interests for
over five years it is not hard for intelligence agents to predict when
I am likely to go out and where I am likely to go. Whenever I leave
my apartment I encounter intelligence agents, collaborators, and a
theatrical production stage managed by the secret police. After
several years this provocative annoyance has come to seem rather
like running the gauntlet; a form of military punishment in which
an individual is made to run between two rows of men who strike at
him as he passes by. While descending the stairs from my
apartment I usually meet one or more of the "tenants" trying hard to
look as if they live in the building or staging a scene for me to
observe. As I left the building one afternoon two fat men stood with
their backs against opposite sides of the narrow first floor hall so
that I had to turn sideways and step between them. Frequently
groups of men are standing or sitting on the stoop when I go out or
come in; sometimes blocking the steps so that I have to ask them to
move. Several times a week one or more collaborators walk by me
just as I step outside. On days when it is felt some special
intimidation is necessary a police car will drive by as I go out and
again as I come home. When I go out I almost always head west,
walking through the intersection of 11th Street and Avenue B.
Since I then might head in any of three directions, this is the only
place that operations can be planned for with near certainty that I
will enter into the staged scene. The secret police operations I
encounter at this intersection are usually more elaborately detailed
and choreographed than they are elsewhere, and it is very likely
there are hidden cameras. There are usually twice as many people
around this intersection as at any other in the neighborhood,
frequently from ten to twenty people. A corner with a hardware
store, a sometimes open grocery store and two abandoned buildings
is not likely to be a favorite neighborhood hangout yet there are
often groups of Puerto Rican and black men standing around. Often
one or more collaborators will be placed on each corner so that the
only way I can avoid them is to walk in the street. As I approach the
intersection, a signal is given and people, most of whom are young
men, start crossing the intersection from every direction; people
walking on the sidewalks, boys riding by on bikes, and other
people driving by in cars. Intelligence agents frequently use this
kind of collaborator saturation placement at other intersections.
This operational technique became obvious when several times,
after having gone through intersections that were inexplicably busy,
I stopped to count the number of people and vehicles that moved
through the intersection during the next few minutes.
The majority of collaborators have been involved in one basic
situation; a male child or a handsome young man (sometimes an
ordinary looking or older man) presents himself to be looked at
while other people observe me. Presumably, if I look at the
conspicuously displayed bait the observer-witnesses claim to have
seen proof of sexual interest or an attempted seduction. Within this
basic situation the secret police have devised a relatively limited
repertoire of scenes but with infinite variations. The actors have
basic roles and patterns of interaction; it is somewhat like watching
the same play over and over but each time with a new cast. A few
thousand such scenes were staged to create incidents that could be
used to discredit me, to manufacture "evidence" that I was immoral,
and to make a fictitious propaganda portrait of me seem to be true.
More time and effort have been invested in staging such scenes
than in any other single aspect of secret police operations.
Intelligence agents made such encounters the centerpiece of their
operations because political leaders found that making an issue of
homosexuality was their most effective means of gaining political
support for a criminal conspiracy. Every system of morality,
whether based on religious beliefs or philosophical principles, is
concerned with the difference between right and wrong. Without
defining what is right and what is wrong, everyone can nevertheless
agree that morality is a hierarchical system; there are greater and
lesser evils and there are greater and lesser goods. It is a wildly
distorted sense of morality that considers two human beings
expressing sexual desire or love for each other degenerate and
immoral while considering a political conspiracy to violate a
citizen's constitutional rights, the creation of an illegal domestic
secret police, the police-state tactics of intelligence agents, and the
suspension of the country's system of government by the rule of
law, to be matters of no importance. ...
On Tuesday, September 8, I left my apartment around 3:30
intending to pay my Con Edison bill. Just as I stepped out of the
building, a car that was waiting a few feet from me, pulled away
from the curb accelerating rapidly, "burning rubber" as if it were in
a drag race. The secret police frequently set up similar incidents as
a distraction; I believe the screeching tires and the brazen display of
contempt were intended to induce angry thoughts that would
preoccupy me and influence my behavior. As I walked to the Con
Edison office at 4 Irving Place I counted sixteen collaborators
engaged in street theater; the next day I encountered at least twenty.
At the Con Edison office I looked in the window; the office was
unusually crowded and the bill-paying line seemed suspiciously
long. I was generally apprehensive about entering a trap, so I
decided to come back the next day. I left my apartment around 3:05
P.M. on Wednesday. Walking across 14th Street, I looked at every
newsstand for a copy of the New York Times so that I would have
something to read while waiting in line. Over a two year period I
frequently bought or saw papers late in the afternoon at the various
newsstands; it is highly unlikely they would have all been sold out.
I believe intelligence agents asked the newspaper sellers to hide the
papers so that I would have nothing to do while waiting except to
observe the planned operation. Inside the main floor customer
service office, intelligence agents placed a minimum of twenty-five
people and it seemed as if all the employees had been given some
sort of briefing and were participating in secret police operations. I
joined the bill-paying line, there were around ten people in line and
as I approached two young men placed themselves directly ahead of
me in the line. Within a few minutes around fifteen more people
lined up behind me. There were five bill paying windows. While I
waited in line the clerks closed their windows until only one
window was left open for customer service. The four people in
front of me all went to the same window. I believe this was a
delaying tactic to keep me in the office for a longer period of time.
While waiting in line the secret police operation being staged was
very obvious. Seven young men presented themselves to be looked
at and a man and a woman each walked by me twice staring holes
through me. The situation reminded me of the movie "The Sting."
Sting operations are frequently used by law enforcement agencies;
police agents create and operate fictitious companies as a means of
entrapment. In this case intelligence agents set up an elaborate but
thinly disguised covert operation within the office of a legitimate
business. A few weeks earlier I found myself surrounded by game-
playing collaborators in a line at my bank. I became angry and
denounced them for participating in secret police operations. I
believe intelligence agents chose to restage a similar scene in Con
Edison's offices hoping to elicit the same or a similar response; an
angry outburst that could be used as "proof" that through
paranormal powers I had somehow triggered the transformer
malfunction and resulting blackout. I was in the Con Edison office
about ten minutes, from approximately 3:20 to 3:30; the power
failure began at 3:24. I believe intelligence agents committed an act
of sabotage timed to coincide with the provocative secret police
operation being staged in Con Edison's office. The secret police
involved at least forty people, many of them Con Edison
employees, in staging their scene in Con Edison's office. Although
these people were intended to witness an angry outburst they were
also witnesses to the fact that intelligence agents were expending a
great deal of effort to manufacture an incident.
