Who The Heck Am I

First of all, I’m Brian Joseph Johns and I am the writer and creator of everything that you read, and most of what you see here at Shhhh! Digital Media.

That’s me:

And no, I’m definitely not full of myself putting a photo of me on every post.

The Egotist Illusion

When you have people who are part of a cult of identity thieves, basically people who attempt to take over your history and identity from you, and attempt to replace it with someone else’s, often replacing your culture as well, your first reaction is to reinforce the ownership of your content with an image depicting yourself.

I mean, why would the author of a website or post put a photograph of someone other than themselves (except maybe in online forums)? The sad part is having to put one up at all, but if you don’t, then there are social cults in society that will lay claim to and wear your efforts as their own, and in some places this effort can be quite collectively abusive, especially when conducted by the people who are obsessed with this sort of thing. But what they’re doing is a manipulation. You see, if you keep taking over someone else’s content and replacing their identity, they’ll further reinforce their ownership over their content with more means to identify themselves with it. Bigger photos, more mentions of their name, etc. The more that appears to happen, the more it makes that person appear to be egotistical and full of themselves which is exactly their goal.

Volunteers Who Bully

I quite often find myself bullied by volunteers the most. Not all of them, but many of them because they believe that if you do anything online of a nature that advocates and spreads the word for charity, that you’re trying to steal the credit for their effort, or for other people online like movie stars and celebrities and what not, which quite honestly is complete and utter nonsense because I don’t want to wear anyone else’s identity but my own. Besides, that whole identity switching thing seems to be an aspect of the blue cult side of the fence. Volunteers who bully most often operate collectively and once again, they gang up on solitary targets in my experience, using the power of collectivism against targets they often radicalize to the point of appearing to be a problem themselves. That pattern you’ll find is quite common in society now. If you’re quiet and soft spoken, you don’t make a very good adversary, and in their form of craft (the people who use this technique), they’ll practice trying to radicalize you towards mania and hypervigilance, in attempt to make you appear a bigger bully than they are as a group, in which case it would appear that their offense upon your person is justified, but in every single case I’ve experienced, I found that their members always initially started the conflict and the radicalization, and when they get that sort of reaction from you, many of them believe their controlling you, and when you’re like me and have green eyes, that’s basically what they want. Then they can take the credit for everything that you do and treat you like garbage, which I find is mostly what they are, because they’ve forgotten the reason why they volunteer in the first place. Its not about them, and a lot of people who do, just use it as a means to clean themselves off of any of their own bad misgivings onto people who don’t volunteer or in the worst case, the people they’re trying to help. Again, this is definitely not the attitude of all volunteers, but its getting more and more frightening the fact that there are so many who are operating that way and its resulting in a lot of tension and difficult situations that have nothing to do with the people they’re trying to help. The irony is that the attack upon my person today might have arisen from this side of things.

Just as a note, I’ve been promoting charity and advocating for 12 years online and have over that time always had links to the charities I promoted. If just 1% of people who visited my site over the course of 12 years donated $5 each, that would add up to $33,500. There is no tracking by the way, so I can’t really say how effective my advocacy and promotion of charity is, but I do know from speaking with people who’ve been to the site that they’re donated as their way of saying thank you for my story, whichever one it was that they read. I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone say thank you for my effort. Maybe once or twice, but the amount of stalking and abuse I receive is staggering. The sad part is though that many of my readers are part of a cult that believe that a person like me is being remotely controlled by other people, and that all my creativity and writing is arising from members of their cult. Its unfortunate, but that’s pretty much it. So they don’t even look at me as someone who has a mind of his own. They literally believe that everything I do comes from members of their cult and they literally have no conscience about it either, but apparently they’re being watched very closely by the kind of people who can put them in front of a Justice of the Peace, where they might have to answer certain questions to avoid ending up with a fine or living in a cell for a few months.

The “Blue” Cult

Who are the blue cult? They’re the people who force you to earn an alternate identity to your own. In my experience, they often force people to be members in their cult in one way or another if not permanently, then for a day (usually involving abusive ideologies, stalking, harassment or a criminal racket of some form). The idea is that they do something so horrible and damaging to your reputation, that you’re forced to compete with other people for the best and cleanest reputation (that is free of whatever situation they setup to prove a burden to your reputation or being). That seems to be a form of scam and I would highly recommend people beware of such situations as they will definitely try to hook you in from your later teenage years onward. Be cautious, but not foolish and if they don’t get you when you’re young, they’ll keep trying and eventually will get you later on. Be warned.

Anti-Craft

Just like there’s craft, intended to help good people become better people, there’s anti-craft that is intended to trick good people into becoming not-so-good people as a means to for people who’ve done wrong at some turn to justify dumping their wrong onto someone else, at least in terms of the appearances of things when looking at them without knowing exactly what went on for things to turn out the way they finally did. Those people who conduct themselves that way are usually the kind of people who present themselves well and that you’d never guess they did something of that nature, but then you see them take part in that kind of thing and well, there it all goes. Goodness and its appearances can often be very deceiving.

You could say that the same thing applies with regard to how a person reacts socially to people in social situations, and if you’re unfortunate enough to have been targeted by socially abusive cults or ideologies, and have experienced mistreatment by such groups for a length of time, then chances are your reactions to such people and people you don’t know or trust are probably going to be a little guarded, if not outright vigilant. Again, a situation where anti-craft is employed by people trying to draw the worst out from a person, and not to exercise them of it, but rather as a secretive means of character assassination.

Ramp that up from 1 year, to 5 years, to 15 years, and a person subjected to that sort of treatment is going to be affected adversely, and no matter how good natured a person is, most people have their limits, and I certainly have mine.

Systematic (not Systemic) Radicalization

People who attempt such things are literally trying to destroy a person’s well being, good intent and in this case, their brand, while making it seem like everything created here (and in the previous incarnations of Shhhh! Digital Media I created), originated from someone else. That whole aspect is a sort of combination of alchemy, auditing and socially abusive ideologies that are used to take the effort and history associated with that effort from one person and make it seem like it came from another, while transferring the worst of the thieves onto the person from whom they stole it, and quite often, creating a situation before that to justify doing all of this in the first place, and yes, there are groups that do exactly that and I’ve been contending with them for a very long time ie > 20 years. So its a wonder that even on my worst days, that I haven’t gone off the deep-end and on a rampage.

I’m not the kind of person who would, but groups like this have targeted people similarly and those people have literally exploded, conducting violent attacks or even murdering people before killing themselves and this form of systematic (not systemic) radicalization is a lot more common than most people realize, and the people responsible will likely never accept the responsibility for their actions, any more than Charles Manson or Usama Bin Laden plead guilty for their crimes against humanity. The only difference is that those two men did not have their hand on the trigger, but were hunted down and brought to justice for the crimes that others committed on their behalf.

Proof that even if you don’t have your finger on the trigger, you still can be charged and go to trial. At least in the United States, and I’m writing this from here in Canada in Toronto, where I live and work, creating Shhhh! Digital Media almost every single day. As much so, every single day, its a serious battle against abusive cults socially stalking cults that steal the identity and history of other people and wear it as their own, and quite often after dishing out decades of accumulating abuse that they hope will one day lead to a rampage that leaves a grim epitaph in my wake. Something that will never happen, on my behalf at least, but everything is well documented and eventually finds its way to the people who investigate that sort of thing.

Creating Mania In A Target

In the heat of social battle or shortly thereafter, I’m often very manic and depending upon how the situation unfolded and what was involved, my writing and my state of mind is nowhere near the state of mind I usually have when beginning writing for the day, so when I return from an outing into the community, that can sometimes be the state I find myself in when I get back and begin working for the day.

Their motive for that is multi-faceted, but likely because they want to convince people that when I go out to go shopping, that I’m using crack cocaine or methamphetamine or some other similar kind of narcotic that would result in my being very hyper and paranoid. Typically, before I leave, I’m usually in a good mood and often peaceful and easy going.

So the idea would be to convince people I’m using narcotics of the kind I mentioned (crack cocaine or methamphetamine), but the truth is that I don’t and have never used anything like that. The closest I would say is a strong cup of coffee with a lot of sugar, but that’s a far cry from crack cocaine or methamphetamine from my understanding. I do occasionally rely upon CBD (a by product of cannabis, which is legal in much of Canada and in Ontario, where I live, about a click north of LAKE ONTARIO). CBD is an anti-stress agent that I take in edible form and I find that it works quite well during the day for maintaining positive energy and a workflow in which I can safely concentrate. That and the occasional drink (a wine cooler or sometimes whiskey) are about as far as I go in that regard and infrequently.

Another motive for creating that impression is because as I stated earlier, there are crazy ideologies who want people to believe that my ability to write and that all of the effort that I make here is the result of being puppeteered or remotely controlled by someone else, either by some kind of outright social manipulation, or the teachings of the Kybalion (a hermetic text that seems to find its way into a lot of Jehovah’s Witness and Prince Hall claims of remotely controlling others), or even simply by living close enough to people presumed to have some kind of superior blood, that causes other people that live near them to excerpt themselves in creative and productive ways, which those people almost always try to find a way to take the credit for the efforts of other people, despite never having taken part in any aspect of that effort themselves. Its kind of like these people watch someone paint a painting, and then grab the brush from them when they’re finished and sign their own name over that of the artist.

The swing method they use involved trying to push someone back and forth between emotional extremes, for instance extreme kindness and civility and then extreme meanness and vigilance, the idea being to push a person between two extremes as a form of control over them, even to the point where the same abusive ideology implies that each extreme is different personality or even a different person. These are the methods that is abusive ideology uses to milk people, almost like cows.

The groups that conduct these activities are growing more and more sophisticated and use technology to spy on their target computers they attempt to steal from in this manner, and almost always, being the goofs that they are, they target people who work alone in their home office, and generally have no “witnesses” to confirm their work, and this seems to be consistent for how these cults operate right across the board and in some situations, there’s even corruption that supports their effort unfortunately. I’ve been watching this aspect grow for a very long time, and it just keeps getting worse and worse and without any kind of intervention or interference from the law, and the people doing this are acting in a criminal manner, especially with regard to the illegal surveillance, not to mention the creative and intellectual property theft, and the identity theft.

Summary

I can’t honestly say that I’m proud of my reaction to this sort of treatment today, but given the fact that it occurred with the attempt to steal the credit for my donations to charity (out of money I very much could have spent otherwise), and in addition, attempts to steal the credit for my creative and intellectual property and some very abusive collective harassment as well, I think I did pretty good, not to mention this particular time it got me thinking seriously about handing this legally, especially the identity theft and creative and intellectual property theft because that might be connected to an actual identity theft ring operating from within the social safety net, and something that might be connected to organized crime and a real defacto criminal racket, including illegal phone surveillance as conducted by members of the community, some of them “church goers”, some of them local narcotics dealers and sex traffickers. There’s a very good indication that the building in which my home office is located, 200 Sherbourne Street, is in the midst of a criminal racket of a sizeable nature. There were even attempts by the membership of this cult to swap my identity and reputation with that of a sex offender too as well and on more than one occasion, possibly in order to justify (illegally) maintaining surveillance on my computer and phone.

I know in working with investigators previously, that real Police never divulge the contents of surveillance capture data to civilians, and yet the stalkers I am exposing would often make references to things I work on my computer, names and places, and in one occasion, even read aloud the numbers from my screen of my credit card from their neighbouring apartment nearby. I sometimes at night use my phone to enjoy Souteast Asian erotic content (it tickles my fancy), but the people conducting the illegal surveillance on my phone associate my phone activity with someone else (a person they refer to as Trent), while they claim that I’m using my phone to watch African and Caribbean erotic content, which I’ve never watched in my life and is definitely not of my particular fancy. I’ve never heard of Police surveillance conducting themselves in that way, so I’d be hard pressed to assume that this surveillance is Police at all, but rather just a criminal racket or organized crime, probably crack cocaine dealers and sex traffickers making sure that nobody is spying on them.

My internet connection was installed exposed, ie the coax cable that carries the internet signal for everyone on the floor who is using a coax cable connection and modem actually runs along the outside of the building and is easily accessed by everyone. In fact, they can unplug my internet whenever they want and quite often do, and apparently these people are connected to the people conducting the illegal surveillance and the criminal racket around here. They’re my neighbours on the east side of the building on the 7th floor, and since the cable runs through all of these balconies, it could be anyone of them, from 702 to 709, though from what I understand, its illegal to install a cable connection that way when its carrying the signal for multiple customers because with the correct login credentials and the same kind of modem, another apartment could theoretically log into the account of one of the other customers and impersonate them, with all of their internet activity being attributed to a completely different apartment. A possibility that might be occurring, especially given the nature of the sort of criminal attacks I’ve been experiencing in other ways and as I’ve stated, there does seem to be corruption protecting all of this.

I guess its a good thing I have all of this up here because its a good record of the kind of things that have consistently been going on, and ironically I reported this to the Federal Police at one point years ago. I certainly hope they’re keeping an eye on things. Its sad too because I was recently betrayed by the only other person I trusted in here, so I’m basically in this alone and isolated.

Insofar as my writing is concerned, I’m going to give it a few days and then I’ll decide when and how I’m going to continue. I will however be dealing with this situation and others connected to it legally, when I find the necessary path and contacts for pursuing that angle.

I believe that the members of this criminal racket might be trying to make me appear very distinctly different than Barris, because the members of this cult are obsessed with “stealing” my characters as well, and they literally believe they can do things like that, take a person’s written characters and assign them to living people. This group seems to be connected to a cult of (Gnostic?) alchemists by the way, and they’re essentially the kind of people who believe they can change a person from being one person, into another, using body energy and biomagnetism of some form insofar as I’ve been able to uncover. The stalking and harassment is likely connected to that aspect as well, but also tied to the criminal racket too, and what makes it all the more complex is that there are several different groups operating and cooperating within the immediate vicinity at this sort of capacity, who seem to be employing outside resources as well, including surveillance and other technical resource assets. They also seem to imply the involvement of the Salvation Army as well.

Here’s something quite funny about how cocky this criminal racket is. They spy on a computer and if they’re seeing something like what I’m typing right now, they’re reading it in nearly real-time (possibly a technological lag or possibly they’re able to scry it by other means). The idea is that they immediately attribute it to being written by a member of their gang or cult, and collectively in the community, the people assisting them do the same thing, so that the community would regard me as a trouble maker, but they would regard my having revealed this information as having come from one of their own members, so that they’re the whistleblowers and I’m the bad guy. Any time there has been an attempt to expose this, that is exactly what happened. In other words, there’s enough corruption watching over this that as soon as something is exposed, its immediately claimed by the actual group and racket committing or collaborating on the crimes for which an exposition is being made.

Regardless, I might be back soon, I might not be. To those who read and enjoyed my writing, and at least give me the credit of being myself (Brian Joseph Johns), thank you very much and I hope to see you soon.

I’m still being harassed and it very much sucks, but I’m still grateful for Thanksgiving, but not abusive social cults that play people back and forth between blue and purple or some other nonsense of that kind.
