1. Cruelty in Society as a "Norm"
Sat, 01 Dec 2012 - 21:19:39: Mail Online - Abuse of elderly patients by NHS staff rises by a third in one year with a shocking 36,000 offences
"Some 36,600 offences were reported last year, mainly involving neglect, physical violence or bullying.
"But only this week the Health Secretary
[Jeremy Hunt] admitted that ‘cruelty’ had become ‘normal’ in some health and social
care organisations.
"Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients’ Association, said: ‘This is a sad indictment of society. People are being abused by the supposedly caring professional who is meant to be looking after them.'
"Nearly 40 per cent of cases took place
in the patient’s own home, 33 per cent happened in care homes and the
remainder occurred in hospitals or day centres."
What happens when the NHS rolls out into the community with neurologically based surveillance technology for social control experimentation? Blame the victim cover up.

After reading the below comments about the film, I urge you to read the description of the actual 1971 experiment provided at the link above.

Dear Ms Buerling
I've just finished watching a DVD of "The Experiment" and its special features noting your comments especially regarding these academic experiments and their impact or lack thereof along with questioning what they do with them. I also noted your saying that the abuse portrayed goes on all the time. It surely does, and no matter what is done it is not stopped in the real world today.
I've also viewed your magnificent film accompanied by those who have had me imprisoned by surveillance technology for 14 years and 3.5 months since mid-August 1998 using this as a weapon 24/7/365 to carry out the imprisonment, torture, medical experimentation, surveillance technology R&D and its ultimately lethal use.
This film has had no impact on them to deter their behaviour just as my viewings of "Das Experiment" on BBC4 a couple times earlier in London have had no impact in stopping this abuse. What emerges about Abu Ghraib and British torture as well as that from Guantanamo Bay has not had the least impact on stopping their imprisonment and torture with surveillance technology. The exposure of rendition flowed off their backs like water off a duck's back.
The most sophisticated surveillance technology ever known to human civilisation was introduced here against me in February 2001 by a Colonel Vine USMC Ret/Reserves, Lt Harry Bird USMC Ret/Reserves and others into an already existing surveillance operation that had been in existence for 2.5 years already.
The key person from that initial British operation was the mother of the abused children I had reported for child abuse in May 1998. She and her family group managed to get surveillance technology installed against me from an adjacent flat of which they had use to begin immediate 24/7/365 torture since they could see me inside my home. They were using radar imaging device(s) and other surveillance technology including Tempest against my computers.
These same people are still at it and hundreds have been involved all these years. No amount of communication to all and sundry in the UK and US has ever made a dent in stopping this at all at any time throughout all these years.
The reason is that these two key personalities, the mother of the abused children and Bird, are psychopaths. They do not have the human decency factor, i.e., conscience. This is lacking in about 1% of the population. This is why at this point nothing results from the research and presentations of such works as yours to alter the course of this abusive behaviour.
There is obviously some research that has been present for decades (Robert Hare) and law enforcement (FBI), but it just has not gotten the widespread recognition that is needed. People just do not understand the psychopathic personality in order to be able to recognise it so far, and it cannot be diagnosed by conventional methods of assessment. There must be a behavioural analysis. See John Douglas' book "Mindhunter."
This is not enough. There's more. 60% of the population is disposed to sadistic abuse, and they will follow the psychopaths especially if there is some pretext of official sanctioning underway. There has been research and comments about this problem from the likes of Erich Fromm in his 1973 book "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness" where he described both the Stanley Milgram experiment at Yale in the early 1960s and the Stanford University experiment that had to be shut down without apparent comment since it was so disastrous as you depicted.
Martha Stout has taken the Milgram experiment further in her book "The Sociopath Next Door" by discussing his ongoing work in the 1960s to show that the 60% of people who were sadistically disposed was true for any group he assembled in different locations. Michael Portillo (former MP and Secretary of Defense in the UK) repeated Stanley Milgram's experiment on a BBC programme with the same 60% results.
The extraordinary difficulty in identifying the brutal psychopath can be seen in Ann Rule's book about Ted Bundy "The Stranger Beside Me." She worked with him in a suicide help line call centre and went for years before she could fully accept the fact that he was the psychopathic serial killer that in reality he turned out to be when he finally confessed to the 30+ murders shortly before his execution.
I wanted to tell you what a fine film "The Experiment" is from someone who has been subjected to that identical kind of abuse but on an extended basis for 14+ years in the real world today. In fact, an observer with the mother of the abused children and Bird said that this was the way they behaved while watching the film a little while ago. Still, it does no good.
I wanted to answer the question you posed in this context as well given some of the reading I've done to explore the character of these kinds of people and those who are susceptible to sadistic behaviour. There is much more happening here, and those involved are now an extended cult since the surveillance technology has been distributed into neighbouring flats where these people participate in the around-the-clock torture abuse as well as those who come from elsewhere to participate.
I want to offer you, if you are interested, my assistance and my information about what is happening if you might want to pursue this activity professionally for a film. I think that by addressing today's abuse as it exists in the real world you can make a significant contribution to communicating its understanding to a mass audience so that this problem can be moved forward to changing the world to prevent this kind of abuse in most of its aspects.
What you have to come to grips with is the neuroscience based surveillance technology that is being used and developed by the US and UK authorities to which I've been subjected since February 2001. That is probably the most difficult subject to grasp. It uses the principle of Tempest to monitor the human brain and its activity which has been accomplished quite successfully including feedback.
One other point that might be of interest to you as a film maker is the 1963 book and its 1976 film "The Sailor who fell from grace with the sea" with Sarah Miles and Kris Kristofferson. This deals with the psychological grooming of a group of 13-year-old boys by their "Chief" whom I view to be psychopathic.
This depicts the development of this kind of personality and others who are trained to behave this way. The principles involved are stunningly similar to this situation which is universal since this is a Japanese novel upon which the British film was based. Also, in this case the director wrote the screenplay, and I think did a magnificent job adapting the novel.
All the best
Gary
PS I'm going to be viewing "The Experiment" from time to time to study and note its aspects while putting it in the face of those carrying out the surveillance technology abuse against me and any others who are present from time to time. This will not phase the key people because the psychopathic are without conscience and go on behaving as if they will never get caught or stopped.
Further, I will be sending along with my various correspondence sent virtually each day about the continuous torture trying to get it stopped a recommendation for them to see your film so that they can see themselves. Thanks for making this film. It is marvelous, and I hope that it will begin to sink in where it can count the most.
