the body. Perps, psychopaths, and general assh*les in society are mainly operati ng through this part of the brain. Perps, given the uniformly organized, top-down structure of their group, are in a position to be continually triggered to operate through their more primitive r eptilian brain, which can be done using fairly simple fear-based psychological m ethods to bypass the higher brain functions that involve the higher emotions and intelligence. Being always tied closely to their leaders or handlers, whether d irectly or indirectly through the group, they are easily fed triggers to elicit the lower brain functions that will dictate how they should react. When these lo wer brain functions are triggered, the person is operating outside of any emotio nal or intellectual capacity, and only knows one or two possible responses to a given situation. It's only when the trigger wears off over time and the higher b rain functions are given a chance to operate that the person might begin to 'wak e up' and begin to apply those higher brain functions in a more appropriate way. But whether they learn to apply them appropriately often depends on relearning how to perceive both themselves and the world around them in a more accurate lig ht. We see and hear a lot about the extreme injustices that are done to our fellow T Is, and which are being done to ourselves, and many have wondered what this is a ll about, where it's all going. If you consider for a moment what I've just said , you might begin to make the connection. Extremely traumatic situations or situ ations that threaten our survival triggers the reptilian brain functions to take over, and once they're triggered, with regularly spaced smaller triggers they w ill continue to operate, and take over the thinking processes to a greater and g reater degree. The ultimate result is that we eventually give in completely to t hese lower brain functions and take on the 'bee-hive' mentality that governs the reptilian mindset. When this begins to occur, we stop acting on any emotions ot her than fear, and we stop applying our higher intellect to solve our problems. The higher brain functions are overruled by our more primitive instinctive natur e. It becomes a fight or flight, kill or be killed situation, as far as our deep er drives go. Our higher emotions are shut down and our reasoning becomes distor ted. We begin to think in terms that are easy for others to manipulate. The people who ultimately set up and orchestrate gang-stalking groups are very a ware of these primitive reptilian brain functions. It's what they use to govern the thinking of those they control and to motivate them into action. These peopl e at the top are the core of the 'bee-hive' group, retaining all the power and d ictating to those beneath them, who follow blindly. The Power Factor In the context of all this, the other side of fear is power. Fear motivates people to act through their reptilian instinctive functions, and powe r is the only reward recognized when those functions are in control. Thus, power becomes the end goal of those who are driven by fear to act out against others. In terms of gang-stalking, power is first taken away from the perps by their co ntrollers through fear, and then returned by way of their actions against their targets. When a person is reduced to thinking and acting through the reptilian brain, the y are dis-empowered by the loss of the higher brain functions. This loss may not even be recognized, however, and they may still feel that they're thinking and acting of their own free will within the bounds of reason and are feeling with t heir emotions. And yet, something will still seem amiss, so they will seek other ways to replace what was lost. This results in what is common among all reptili an species - a hierarchical system of domination over others. The controllers at the top dominate the perps, and the perps find release by dominating their targ ets. The targets, pushed to the point of operating through their reptilian brain
