2011/12/07 (Wed) Slept from 2:00-7:00 (5 hrs). Since I noticed that fits of hands and arms usually occur when they are in futon, I put gloves on and slept with them outside of futon. It is too cold to do so without gloves. Only electric shocks to my head occurred. A strong shock accompanied by a Goh sound woke me up around 7:00. While kept sitting in futon with my face down, I got hit by electric shocks in the head one after another.
Went to Shibuya to submit some documents, dropped by an appliance shop, came back to my station, and studied in the fast food shop till 19:00.
The book I finished yesterday was about insanity (Winter in Flanders by Otohiko Kaga). The place is an asylum in France. The chilling part of the last scene is the reaction of the doctors and the administrator when one of the doctors, a renowned psychiatrist, acknowledged, without emotion other than euphoria about the experience, the accusation that he had been molesting one of his patients, a beautiful young boy who is diagnosed as an idiot and habitually steels ticket machines. The focus of the attention of the people is not on the victim but on the sanity of the doctor and the reputation of the hospital. None mentions the feeling and healing of the boy, despite the fact that the allegation was originally made by the boy himself. They are relieved by the molester’ s explanation that the boy’s father, the accuser, is a drunk and no one would believe in him. And all the people are described in the book as fundamentally good in nature. One who cannot speak for oneself is made little of and taken advantage of.
The book actually does not focus on the insanity of the mass, but I am intrigued by that part. And the author has written well enough to also show that part of humanity. Another example is the image people in town have about the boy’s sister, a young beautiful nurse with distinct opinions who works at the asylum. People in the whole town believe that she sleeps with anyone－to be precise, a rich old lady of authority sais so to her lover and a doctor who would commit suicide later tells a lie that she has his child to his ex-partner, who is a reserved but individualistic person－but her virginity was proved by her lover, another alienated person, a Japanese doctor who was on a prolonged study at the asylum, at the end of the story. The mute and the minority tend to fall victim to the insanity of the “normal” people. Same old story, but again chilling and sickening.
If I had not started to speak out what was done to me when I was harassed so that others would know that some of them were doing nastier things than them, chances are that I would still be suffering from those harassments. I could have shouted much earlier but I did not because I thought they had family and life. I did not start shouting till 99.999%, including their daughters and wives and mothers, of the people I meet started harassing me, often in concert.
It is sickening to realize that there are people whose mute status is taken advantage of and who are suffering in various degrees in various ways.
It is one year since WikiLeaks angered the US government for their action which was a result of trying to help the oppressed, those who are taken advantage of. WikiLeaks did not target America in the beginning, and has not throughout. It is just because the US is involved in almost all the vices happening on this planet that WikiLeaks ended up releasing documents that revealed the dark sides of America.
Transparent governments, not transparent individuals, said Julian Assange, one of the most beautiful minds living now.

If only Howard Zinn had lived a year longer…
He would be happiest to see this, people united against the current illegitimate powers. And this is happening now in the US. Right after the 2008 Presidential election, he said that to make it possible for Obama to realize change, people should help him by mass movements.

WikiLeaks helps free souls, too.
I found this comment placed for Cat Steven’s Father and Son on YouTube today.
“In Egypt this week, Muslims formed a circle around a group of Christians to protect them as they went to mass, later on the Christians reciprocated to allow the Muslims to pray. That's the true meaning of Humanity, no matter what religon you are”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q29YR5-t3gg&feature=related
I also heard the other day on NPR a young Egyptian woman talking about her good experience of not being sexually harassed by men, which is usually unthinkable, during those days and days of mass protest and hoping it would last.
People with humanity are free people in the real sense. It seems that political freedom restores humanity: people of different religions peacefully coexisting just as in ancient times in many parts of the globe and men treating women just as other human beings that deserve as much respect as men do. WikiLeaks helps people gain more freedom. Therefore, WikiLeaks helps free souls.
Note: Although Julian Assange himself says it is not clear whether WiliLeaks’ revelation has any significant relation to Egypt’s mass demonstration and of course it is the people who liberated Egypt from a dictatorship, it is widely accepted that the revolution was influenced by the Tunisians having ousted their dictator, which was partly triggered by WikiLeaks’ “Cablegate” documents, some of which were reports on how deeply corrupt their leaders were.

Class Supplement (TOEFL Essay, Is watching TV a useful or enjoyable way of spending time?)
Writing Topic: Some people think watching television is enjoyable and educational, while others think it is a complete waste of time to watch television. Do you think watching TV is a useful or enjoyable way of spending time?
Let’s think: “A” useful or enjoyable way of spending time means that, although it is not “the” best, it is as useful or enjoyable as activities that are considered good. What are useful and enjoyable ways of spending time? What do you usually do when you have some free time and try not to waste it? Do you read, listen to music, watch a movie, do something creative like painting, work out, or hang around with your family or friends? Is watching TV as worth spending your precious time on as other choices?
Ideas and Expressions:
Waste of Time
♦ not a good information source anymore: The amount of information provided by TV for a particular length of time is smaller compared to that of newspapers, magazines, books, and the Internet, which provide detailed information and allow you to skip advertisements. You passively receive the information the TV station has selected according to ratings, popularity votes, which are not always good or right. Information on the Internet is now updated by the minute. Also, there are more informative, thought-provoking, and even enjoyable independent online news shows and information sites. Besides, social media such as WikiLeaks, Twitter, and Facebook often outshine any media in terms of providing truth and latest developments of events.
♦ passive: Not interactive, TV watching requires little creativity, so it dulls your mind.
♦ mind-numbing: TV can make you narrow-minded or brainwashed because it is sponsored by corporations, which can manipulate the content and put emphasis on advertisements. For example, you might develop desire for needless goods or come to follow fashion trends obsessively, not aware of what is really going on in the world.
Useful or Enjoyable
♦ Some special programs such as live broadcasts of sporting events, documentaries, and language programs are not provided anywhere else.
♦ Popular TV programs or ads provide conversation pieces, which are good icebreakers.
♦ One good thing about TV watching is that it allows you to learn things that you did not intend to. By keeping TV on or zapping channels, you can come across interesting people, useful information, or moving stories. It is like taking a walk in an unfamiliar neighborhood and find a lovely garden or sitting among strangers and hear an eye-opening story. The Internet, which is made to be used to search for specific information of your choice, allows this to happen less often.
♦ As long as you keep an eye on how you use it, TV can be a handy tool for fun.

Class Supplement (TOEFL Essay Writing, The impact of computers - Rewrite -)
Writing Topic: How do you think computers have affected the world we live in?
Essay for ideas and expressions:
The impact of the computer is like that of electricity. With the spread of computers, the world has transformed dramatically into the one where we can no longer live without them, different lifestyles and new things are created, and more democratic society is possible.
Just like electricity, computers have become ubiquitous and indispensable. They are in almost all kinds of machines such as cell-phones, TVs, elevators, cash machines, factory robots, medical equipment, and air traffic control systems. A day would not pass without them. Also, the computer has become part of infrastructure. The world is now connected by the Internet, which facilitates business, communication and many other activities. No organization can function well, totally cut off from the Internet.
The computer has changed how things are done and has created new things. It facilitates faster, more accurate, and better designed jobs from calculation and document-making to trading to spaceship building. Household work is not an ordeal anymore thanks to electric appliances with built-in computers. As the computer evolves, scientific research and development is exponentially expedited and art and entertainment create things that did not exist in the pre-computer age. The World Wide Web has globalized everyday communication. People can now receive and, more importantly, send out information across the world.
The computer has given people chances to change systems for the better, into more decentralized and transparent ones. In business, small business owners can now sell their products directly to consumers online, thus reshaping the distribution channels. In politics, employees who happen to find confidential information that the general public should know, such as reports of human rights abuses and corruptions, can reveal it through the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks by sending it massive amounts of raw data anonymously, and people who are more informed now owing to such leaks can organize nationwide demonstrations with worldwide supports to stand up against corrupt leaders using social networking services such as Twitter and Facebook.
I think it can be said that many more people’s lives have become more colorful and freer than before since Windows 95 made it possible for most businesses and ordinary citizens to make use of personal computers and fiber-optic cables connected continents. Although there are concerns about problems related to computer use and occasional nostalgia for life before computers, the computer keeps breaking new ground and benefitting people. It is a phenomenon of the scale that involves all the people on this planet whether they have it or not and whether they like it or not.

Wikileaks' double blow: Liars lie to themselves.
Liars lie to themselves.This isn’t new, but it is still shocking to find that government people report bogus information that conforms to their governments’ claim. Cuba welcomed Michael Moore’s movie SiCKO, which targets the immoral American health care system, while the American embassy reported the opposite. They reported in a secret cable that SiCKO was banned in Cuba.
That the truth is on the side of Michael Moore is clear. Had the opposite been really true, had SiCKO been really banned in Cuba, the government would have extensively reported it through main media because that was the kind of information they were in dire need of so that people wouldn’t go see SiCKO. Why did the authorities conceal such a juicy story? Because it was not true. They just wanted to believe it was true, and when they said it it became “true,” they thought.

The authorities are ill-treating the hero, the whistleblower.
4. 2010/12/19 A Guardian article and some other articles indicate that he is not the same anymore due to the confinement. He has been kept alone in a cell, prohibited from exercising, watched for 23 hours a day, and forced to sleep without a pillow for seven months.
Forced physical and mental inactivity is a torture. Bradley Manning, the suspected Wikileaker, is 23 years old and looks physically fit in photos. He also looks bright and seems to enjoy hanging around with others. Whatever he may have done, this treatment is inhumane. Above all, no-exercise and no-pillow do not make any sense. And why has this mind-cracking treatment been going on for seven months? It is unfair that he is not allowed to explain and defend himself in good condition.
Moreover, for many people all over the world, he is a hero. The mere fact that he exposed to the public the video showing civilians in Iraq, who show no intentions for battle, being killed and injured by shootings from an American helicopter is enough to make him a hero. At least the families of the two Reuters employees who were killed in the attacks now have the evidence of their loved ones' unnatural deaths thanks to his leak. And it is those Americans like Bradley Manning that make people in other countries love America.

Michael Moore and Wikileaks
I wish Michael Moore was my elder brother. He is funny, brave, and yet gentle. He has a softest heart. He mentions the pains of the American soldiers in Afghanistan who recorded that they did on command what they were not proud of themselves for doing, when he talks about Wikileaks’ leaks of confidential papers of Pentagon and the American embassy, before talking about other more well-known facts. I think he says this not just because he is American but because he has a strong empathy for the weak and sense of fairness. He says Wikileaks is going to help reduce loss of lives by providing information that can prevent terrorist attacks and wars based on lies. I agree. Probably it already has. Transparency prevents corruptions and plots as street lights protect people from thefts and violence.

Wikileaks' mirror sites: the most beautiful thing I have seen as far as I remember
2010/12/07 Wikileaks has kept me away from this blog and recording my problem (http://junglecrowsister.blogspot.com/2010/10/supersonicelectronic-weapon_24.html ) for more than a week, although I kept notes and will type them later after this paragraph. As a common person, I had a memorable experience of witnessing, through Twitter and other sites, the authorities hunting the truth-tellers around on the web while the mirror sites of Wikileaks mushroomed around both of them, around the world, and this morning I read major newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic finally have decided to back up the release of the “Cablegate” material 100%. “Game over,” they might say. I do not know. I am not a tech. Of course not everything is over and actually this might be the end of only a part of a long story, but the list of mirrors was the most beautiful thing I have seen as far as I remember : ) The article I read this morning is this:
Wikileaks: The internet ideal triumphs (Index on Censorship) (http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2010/12/wikileaks-internet-censorship-united-states/)

Another beautiful development of the Wikileaks story
Another beautiful development of the Wikileaks story other than the mirror sites of Wikileaks: Russian bloggers started a whistle-blowing site on the issues of their country related to the revelation. The related article is as follows: Russian blogger aims to lift lid on corruption (The Financial Times) http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7a387122-02f3-11e0-bb1e-00144feabdc0.html#axzz17aaSVHWY

Supersonic/Elecronic Weapon vs. Wikileaks

Now, hoping the day I do not have to do this will come soon, here I put my notes of my problem I have taken since my last blog.
Notes that I forgot to write in my last blog: A dried newt and a slim cigarette butt were thrown in through mail slits in my door and my mail box respectively. I had also found the cap of my fabric softener which is in the bucket on my balcony had been broken. Both happened sometime in November.
2010/11/25 Although I had never had fits since my birth and never in the day time after this electric/supersonic attacks started, for the first time my fingers had an unnatural twitch slightly on the train, which I could stop by effort. I remember I had my head attacked very hard or very often the previous night.
2010/11/26 Intentional coughs and loud strange voice of a male in Room 204. Put earmuffs but took off soon as I remembered that a strong shocks will come between ears when they are on. When I took them off, someone or some people moved in either of both Room 202 or/and Room 204. Rather big electric shock on my head and other parts. A very strong hit that made both of my legs have a big fit in odd hours. Woken up at around 5:00 a.m.. Studied till 7:30. Around 7:00, somebody left Room 202.
2010/11/26-27 Slicing sensation like light saber being wielded on my head and chest.
2010/11/27-28 Woken up around 3:30 a.m. , studied for 2 hours, and went to sleep again. When I was woken up around 8:30 a.m., the sound in my head, the one you hear when you pay special attention to the sound inside of your body, was loud and wavy in high frequency
2010/11/29-30 Woken up at 4:50, studied for 2 hours, and went to sleep again. at 10:13 a.m., hit strong as if hit by a rock. My head moved just like that and I woke up.
2010/12/01 Something caused tremor of fingers or hands while sleeping. Strong hits on my head. Woken up by a strong tremor on my right wrist at 7:00 a.m.
2010/12/02 Around 3:30 a.m., a loud noise that sounded like both human voice/snoring and a machine and that was rhythmic like the sound of a heart came from Room 202. Studied for 1 hour and went to sleep again. Had my fingers hit and fit frequently. When I woke up, the sound in side of my head was pretty loud and wavy, stayed in bed for 10 minutes and the sound became normal. At around 15:30, at the end of an hour of intensive study, which I newly started for an English test I will take next month, I noticed I had a sensation of being tapped in the bran. In other words, there was a continuous vibration in my brain. When stopped studying, it stopped once. A few minutes later, when I was recalling the experience with my hands on my head, I felt the same one in my brain, which stopped in a second. I felt nauseous for a while after that.
2010/12/03 Slept better than usual for 7 hours straight although I remember being attacked when falling asleep and woken up by attacks on my head and hands.
2010/12/04 A big attack on my left leg which caused a big fit when I went to bed. Incessant attacks while asleep. In the morning, an attack on the spot slightly below the third eye spot and above the point between eyebrows caused twitches of the muscles twice. I took off my eye cover and was attacked on the left face, the left leg, the right shoulder and some other places of my body, which caused the same magnitude of fits.
2010/12/05 Right after I went to bed and while still my eyes were open, something like electromagnetic force came to my head , causing some funny feelings. And the moment I began to fall asleep, a shock woke me up. My body, lying in a V shape sideways facing the wall of Room 202 with my electric warmer held in hands at my stomach at the point of the V, swung backwards suddenly. I heard my bed spring make swinging noises. I felt I was hit on the electric warmer and the impact blasted me backwards, swinging my whole body, but I am not sure. I might have been hit in the head.
On the morning of Saturday (2010/12/04), I had a glimpse of Room 202 and saw the person in there at that time. (People come and go in that room ― at least four different residents one after another in two years ― and it also seems that different persons visit the room (and probably Room 204, too) each night, for I have seen different people come out of or go into the room(s) alone many times.) A delivery man came to Room 202 when I was leaving my room. I heard a male reply to the delivery man in the room. It took for a while for him to open the door. From behind the delivery man, I saw a male, around 165 cm (5 feet 8 inches) tall and might weigh around 100 kg (200 pounds), stooping in front of the delivery man. The next moment, he looked up. A weakling face, that of a bullied rather than of a bully, was revealed in the dark. He squinted and blinked several times as if the sunshine was dazzling but something told me he was aware of my presence and avoiding to show his straight face to me. For a fraction of second, he saw me. Then he reached for the package the delivery man was holding, a white foam polystyrene box of about 50 X 40 cm (20 X 16 inches) size. he bent over it and behind him in the far back of the room was a light beige curtain hanging from the left top to the right bottom, making a beige trapezoid with its leg stretched towards the side of my room. Other than that I could see nothing. I felt uneasy hanging around there longer and left.
2010/12/06 Right after I got into my bed the night before, electric shock came several times. For some reason, I had a feeling that they were nor from Room 202. Then, behind the wall of Room 204, someone moved from side to side, from the side my head is to the other end. When I was coming home from work around 9 o’clock, I saw a woman going up the stairs of my apartment building. She did not look over 50 and was dressed as a young woman, wearing a maxi skirt, a long sweater, and a jacket, mainly in red. Her hair was a little curly and long. She went up slowly, looking around, and went into Room 202. I went to bed around 1 .m. but could not sleep because of the attacks. After having been attacked a few times and getting a rather strong one, I got up and started studying, when a sound came from behind the wall of Room 202 at the point of 1.5 m (5 feet) up from where my head was. The sound was like some one getting off a seat set in mid air, something metallic. It was also like the sound of a door opening. A little after that, someone was walking a couple of meters (about 6 feet) away from where the first sound was heard. The next day (today, December 7) I felt as if I had a concussion all night. I felt slightly nauseas, too.

Now, hoping the day I do not have to do this will come soon, here I put my notes of my problem I have taken since my last blog.
Notes that I forgot to write in my last blog: A dried newt and a slim cigarette butt were thrown in through mail slits in my door and my mail box respectively. I had also found the cap of my fabric softener which is in the bucket on my balcony had been broken. Both happened sometime in November.
2010/11/25 Although I had never had fits since my birth and never in the day time after this electric/supersonic attacks started, for the first time my fingers had an unnatural twitch slightly on the train, which I could stop by effort. I remember I had my head attacked very hard or very often the previous night.
