I have been thinking whether the satellite is been used in a direct or indirect manner.

Direct means to spy on someone using the satellite alone, whereas indirect consists of using a psychotronic device which could be integrated into your home appliances (Eg desktop PC, microwave, oven..etc) and using the satellite merely as a receiver of output signals from the appliances. One of the first patents on mind reading devices was awarded in 1974.

My experience suggests that the latter is more likely than the former because if the satellite is so powerful there would be no need for cause stalking, or maybe i am wrong..who knows….

Thermal Imagers only detect changes in temperature; IF a person was leaning against an outer wall long enough you might see a faint outline of their form. However if a body is not in direct contact with the structure you wouldn’t see any indication of an individual heat source emanating from someone’s body. Intensity is equal to 1/radius squared, therefore your body heat emanates in all directions and certainly would not simply transfer your bodies image to only one spot on the wall, therefore you could not “see” any persons inside the structure.

I’m sorry but these errors take away the authors credibility – ie – I find myself wondering what else is exaggerated or stated in error. I cannot recommend this book, sorry.

After reading mister Hall’s website and the information on this page, I figured, if nothing else, it would be a good laugh and a nice set of conspiracy theories to consider for a novel I myself am writing.

I was more or less right on both counts, but what I didn’t expect is the disgust I now feel towards the “Doctor.”

The first few pages set him up as the hero of our story; a hero who likes to bash others and make lewd remarks, referring back incessantly to his favorite word, “vagina.”

Later on our hero becomes a tortured soul, brave despite the attacks on his safety, sanity and loved ones by a few inbred hicks and their amazing, still barely explained (by Hall, at least) technology. He seems to be at once one of maybe five people in the story targeted by these “terrorists,” and the only one brave and strong and smart enough to overcome them.

In one rather hilarious page, towards the end of his harrowing adventure, he offers help for those tormented by satellite surveillance and “attacks”:

Think of Godzilla.

Picture Godzilla walking across your lawn, so that your tormentors will see it and become confused, since they can see your thoughts. He also suggests this is a nifty trick to use when you’d like a visit from the CIA, because they are apparently the number one fanboys of the monster.

He also suggests you turn their mind control on them by thinking their own thoughts at them, in their voices, although previously he stated that they use your own voice to convince you these are your own thoughts. Funny he didn’t use this technique himself to heroically fight off the inbred hicks targeting his girlfriend for ritual date-rape.

In general, after reading this, I’ve come up with a theory of my own:

“Doctor” Hall is a sociopath.

Sociopaths are prone to chronic boredom, because they have no real feelings. He certainly exhibits this last trait in his references to the women he claims to love, which are misogynistic and paternalistic at best. In his defense, that could just be because he is a doctor… I’m convinced there’s a secret class in medical school just for men called Convincing Female Patients they are Irrational, Emotional Idiots in need of an Immediate Hysterectomy (or simply Misogyny 101). Read Robert S. Mendelsohn M.D. if you need proof of that. Hell, read him anyway, for the sake of your children.

They are often intelligent enough to become doctors.

They are pathological liars.

They are extremely egotistical, which, coupled with the boredom, could prompt him to write a fantastic account of how terrorists found him special enough to attack yet crafty enough that they never quite managed to destroy him.

He states his difficulty with the Texas Medical Board, requiring him to take drug tests and sending him to psychiatrists in an effort to have his license revoked. He accuses them of being on the side of the satellite terrorists. They’re all in on it together, he says. They paid no attention when he was poisoned with bleach.

So I guess the truth is that he’s voiced enough of this idiocy that the professionals he works with became concerned, had him tested, found him positive for cocaine (and possibly steroids), sent him to a bunch of psychiatrists (I’d bet Sociopath Personality is the diagnosis on many of their forms), and generally tried to rid themselves of a nut.

Therefore, he made up a big story about how it’s someone else’s fault (another patent trait of sociopaths), how they used bleach to simulate an addiction to cocaine, how they were making him hear voices and raping his girlfriend (and who knows, maybe, considering he’s an anesthesiologist and has access to a myriad of drugs, he did it himself), and managed to escape through making himself the victim which is, you guessed it, another patent trait.

Don’t think I have no sympathy for the people suffering from psychoses who honestly believe that they are the target of satellite terrorism. These people are sick.

Not that Hall isn’t sick, but unfortunately the legal and medical realms still have no satisfactory way of imprisoning or institutionalizing the sociopath until they do something very grave (and most of them are so concerned with self-importance and self-preservation that they refrain from doing anything more serious than making other people’s lives miserable).

One more important thing you should know before subjecting yourself to this book:

If you’re like me, and intend to read it as the cheap work of fiction it is, you’ll find that Hall is a very poor writer and his editor doesn’t do their job well, either. And his publisher is a scam run by Robert M. Fletcher, so either (gasp!) he’s in on a conspiracy of his own, or he’s a lot dumber than he thinks.

Of course, I guess that last will be obvious if you read his book.
