Likely no one before me has offered a first-hand description of themselves as a victim of psychic swooning before. Here you are then, my own perilous tale of encounter with a black magic cult!
I intuit as a Lightworker that black magic cults may prepare to induce the psychic swoon by offering a human sacrifice, or by torturing a human being. Needless to say, as a Lightworker I am completely opposed to using these black magic techniques. Please mark my words: Those who use them may well end up behind bars!
Dear Ones,
Here is another of my ‘perilous tales’. These are dangerous events, whether psychical or physical, that have occurred in my life in my life (but thankfully, not in very recent times).
I was just now thinking today about the most curious instances of ‘swooning’ that I experienced in the years 2012-2015 when I went to the meditations of a neo-Hindu group in West Los Angeles and also in the Wild West. I had never ‘swooned’ before, but I ‘semi-swooned’ so many times during those meditations that I finally drew pictures of the events that took place in the Wild West …

These ‘swooning’ events were unprecedented in my life … they had not happened before I attended the meditations, and the have not happened since.
I recall, one evening during meditation class in the Wild West, asking the leader of the meditation group about them: What is it that happened just now?
He said, with an expression of disdain on his face, (and I paraphrase): This is just something that you are working through right now. When you get over it, we will go on.
At the time, I believed him; it must be just something I was working through. But later events, and later reading I undertook, have led me to think otherwise.
As I recalled, two of the women in the Wild West group had studied with Indian spiritual teachers. One of those was a revered sculptor and spiritual teacher, who has since passed on. The other, I regret to say I cannot remember his name. Then there were the Indian saints whose images were on display in the meditation rooms. I had to admit I did not know much about any of those spiritual teachers. What might have their personalities been like; what were their social values, their ethics?
Did they feel themselves (as did the leader of that spiritual group in the Wild West) to be above right and wrong? What form might fundraising take in a spiritual group with that philosophy, and whose leader might be an adept at mind control, or psychokinesis, or able to stop the heart beat, or able briefly to obsess other people, or able to induce psychic swooning, or capable of other psychic skills?
I recalled how I had been the only newcomer in the meditations, both in Los Angeles and in the Wild West. I remembered how I was not allowed to speak with the other meditators, and how they never chatted socially with me before or after class. I remembered how I would raise my hand in the Wild West class, and the meditation leader would call on others whose hands were raised, but not me. They were all so very unapproachable; could it be they had a secret to hide?
I had felt surrounded by enigmatic people who, it seemed, had known each other for many years. Could it possibly have been that the Wild West leader of the group had told them not to speak to the new people because they would soon disappear? That he did not want their feelings to be ruffled, or group cohesion to be lessened, by the murder of newcomers? Definitely, there was an air of secrecy … of a secret so deep I might never hope to fathom it.
I began to wonder if the psychic swoon was a ‘black art’ practiced in India by some spiritual teachers, so as to keep food on their tables. For instance, I imagined there might be Indian spiritual teachers who had lured Western women to their lands, perhaps with a promise of marriage. I imagined they might have murdered these women, one after the other … like the husband in the children’s fable about the ruthless man named Blue-Beard with a rapacious twist … for the money in their wallets, then distill their bodily remains into a filtrate to water their gardens. What odd thoughts were those, I wondered?
I wondered if the wandering rishis of India might be feared by the people of that land because of their black magic talents, because, perhaps, their psychic stare might make the beholder become suddenly mad, or might make her have a psychic heart attack, or might make her hand over large sums of money, simply through what is termed ‘mental suggestion’ or ‘mesmerism’.
I also wondered if all India knows about the dangers of running across black magicians, and whether they might have forced the most dangerous of these psychic wunderkinder to leave India and migrate to other countries over the centuries. Could it be, I wondered, that some of the neo-Hindu spiritual teachers who migrated to the United States in the 1900s were blackballed for practice of the psychic arts in India, and exiled to our shores, where they were welcomed by hosts of impressionable young women?
I found an article from the year 1911 describing what was then thought to be such practices in New England …
I read therein the implication that Eastern holy men had been taking, each to himself, many New England spinsters as wives. The article described certain tantric practices [I presume those to be Red Tantra and Black Tantra, described elsewhere in my blog] as the ‘left hand’ worship of the goddess Kali. The ‘right hand’ worship of Kali was said to be that of carnage and slaughter.
Could it be, then, that some neo-Hindu spiritual groups of that time, or perhaps for the more than a century span from 1911 till today, have been practicing Red Tantra and Black Tantra in the United States, along with murder … whether psychic or physical … as a black art acceptable to them in a philosophical sense, under the guise of the worship of the goddess Kali, for those who practice Red Tantra … or maybe under the guise of the wordship of the god Shiva, for those who practice Black Tantra? Could there possibly be neo-Hindu assassin cults flourishing for more than a century here in the United States?
Setting these startling ruminations to one side, I picked up the Hampton Columbian Magazine story once more. I read of Miss Sarah Farmer of New England, who gave up her fortune so that Green Acre (a place where many famous people got together) might be founded. It was said that her explorations into exotic religions eventually unbalanced her mind, with the result that she became an inmate of an insane asylum in Waverly, Massachusetts.
Then there was Miss Aloise Reuss, who though raised in a refined way, began screaming and praying in a Mazdaznan Temple of the Sun and was incarcerated in an Illinois asylum.
Then there was Mrs. Ole Bull, who inherited a considerable fortune from her husband, who passed away. In Mrs. Bull’s home was said to be a meditation chamber visited by Swami Vivekenanda and then later Swami Abhedenanda, whom she may have met at Green Acre.
Upon the death of Mrs. Ole Bull, her Will was found to bequeath several hundred thousand dollars to the Vedantist Society. After what must have been heated legal arguments, and a great deal of local press, the courts set that Will aside on grounds of mental incapacity and undue influence.
But on the very day the verdict against the Vedantist Society was rendered, Mrs. Bull’s daughter, Mrs. Olea Bull Vaughn, died, purportedly of a broken heart.
I gathered, then, there might be some popular understanding and legal underpinning for the notion that the spiritual teachers who migrated to the United States might, through ‘mental suggestion’ or ‘mesmerism’, influence the minds of impressionable women to give them money or land. Were that to be so, then I suggest that getting them physically away from the injuring psychics would, with time, most certainly restore them to mental and spiritual health.
This matched an event in my own psychic experience, to do with another neo-Hindu spiritual group in the year 2011. What could it be about the 11th year of a century, I wonder? Could that an unlucky year, from the standpoint of undue influence of the black arts upon innocent women? For me, I recall it was in the year 2011 that I felt suddenly and inexplicably to have fallen under the influence of a mesmerist, or perhaps a group of six to 15 mesmerists, all practicing the black arts together.
It seemed to me, through clair hearing, that this group had fallen upon hard times financially, and must have decided to use psychic ‘crowding’ to extort money so as to keep out of ‘the red’. I recall making a clair deal with them, to give them what was to me a large sum of money, with the understanding that they would then cease to harass me on the psychic plane.
When I mailed them the money, the psychic din grew 10 times more angry. I became convinced that this spiritual group had been raiding people’s bank accounts and forcing them to flee from Los Angeles for years, under threat of death. I thought that those whom they had victimized, and who had the courage to bring the issue of psychic extortion to the court system, might have been trounced through the group’s mind control of judge and jury during trials.
In a state of psychic terror I never before or since experienced, I fled from Los Angeles. En route, I spoke with a family member about the extorted money. They called the group, and arranged for the money to be returned to me. But, I felt, because of their courageous phone call, I and my family might have endured the wrath of the psychics there all these years. That is for nearly 10 years now. Although the psychic pressure abated for me in the year 2016, it takes merely the thought of the neo-Hindu groups I encountered back then, or their mention in one of my blogs, for an echo of that psychic fury to impinge upon my energy fields.
I shall set aside my personal story, and continue with the fruits of the reading I did on the topic of psychic crime …
I came across some drawings of members of Thuggee Cults of India, which fall upon travelers and murder them, and steal their money …

It occurred to me that these Thuggee Cults of India might be inducing in travelers the very ‘psychic swoon’ I had experienced while meditating with the first-mentioned spiritual group in Los Angeles and the Wild West.
What do you think, dear reader? Could there be such a thing as the ‘psychic swoon’? Might it be employed by members of a spiritual group so as to sneak up on, murder, and rob an unsuspecting traveler in foreign lands?
From my own stance, I hope everyone in the United States, will soon be well informed of the misery entailed should people be targeted in by those neo-Hindus who practice the black arts.
It goes without saying, far from all neo-Hindu spiritual groups practice psychic terrorism. But from my personal experience, I reluctantly surmise there are some that do so, even on our shores.
Knowledge is power, is it not? Without knowledge, the odds are too great for us to seek redress. That is why I added my large category Transcending the Dark – Courage Under Fire – Spiritual Warfare – Demon Wars to this website … so that my readers may gain the knowledge needed to counteract such groups, should they have the misfortune to encounter them.

Happened on 26 November 2014, the day before Thanksgiving 2014. There had been a light snowfall that day, and as I recall, more was on the way for the following day.
Dear Ones,
I recall on my last visit home, for Thanksgiving 2014, I was staying with my one of my uncles, since deceased. I was there for Thanksgiving, and to visit around where I used to be in my childhood … where I had grown up, in the Maryland countryside, close to Washington, D.C.
As it happened, Trinity Episcopal Church was just across the road from where my uncle lived in Upper Marlboro, a fact integral to the story I am about to tell …
On that, the most recent of my trips home, for Thanksgiving 2014, I was plagued at night by the Demon realm. I cannot put forth the why or where of it, but the fact is that demons would swarm round me at night when I was there.
I recall one night during my five-day visit, when all that became just too much for me. In the early evening, I trekked across Main Street, and round to Church Street, where my mother’s Trinity Episcopal Church was located.
As I neared the church, I began to feel a greater and greater sense of sanctuary. I walked up the brick walk, past the graves and tombstones of my mother’s ancestors. A cold wind was whistling round me, and the Darkness rustled down amongst the leaves of the holly trees on the front lawn of the church …

The front door and the side doors of the church were locked up tight; so, in my desperation, I walked up the front stairs of the church …

As I walked up those stairs, the demons pursuing me were repulsed by the Light of faith abiding there. They flew up howling into the sky, and then were gone away.
For some time I sat next the front door of the church, which shielded my back from the cold wind. I was listening for the return of the demons, but they did not come back. I was safe there, saved through my mother’s faith, and the faith of the minister and the people there, from the deepest Darkness ever to pursue me in this lifetime.

That is why I recommend to my reader: In times of deepest despair, seek sanctuary on Holy Ground. If there is a church nearby, even if you cannot enter the church door, you may find, as did I, that the steps of a church offer safety of Spirit, and of physical form. Here is a song I wrote about that …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I would like to talk a little today about the things that probably will not go wrong with America but that, in the worst case scenario might take place in a few small towns of America. And so these are things that we should look out for and have a plan for in advance, just in case. That is how I feel. It has to do with social unrest and the economy of the United States.
Rogue Town: Counterfeit Money Laundering to Tourists or Through Local Banks
There is a chance, in the coming years, that one of these scenarios might come up: It might be that a town might have a sheriff or police officer who is in collusion with a crime gang, or a mob or mafia … a crime family. And the crime family or crime gang might be producing its own counterfeit United States ‘money’.
They might be passing it out to the tourists who come into town, and laundering it in that way. Or they might be laundering it through the local banks to other parts of the country.
Now if that happens … if the crime gang controls the town … what we have, as far as I can tell, is secession from the United States. The reason for that is, one of the things the Federal Government does is provide a currency for all the states in the United States.
If a town chooses to produce its own currency, then in effect it is setting itself up as a sovereign nation with its own currency, trading on the goodwill and the economic success of the larger governing body, the United States.
Rogue Town: Siege as An Option to Bring It Into Line
If that were to happen, I wonder where would be the place to go to try to get the situation handled. I say that because, in a broad sense, the actions of a crime gang town might be considered terrorist actions,
If the economy is tight here in America, federally, then one way to handle such a situation of a rogue town would be to create a stage of siege to barricade the incoming and outgoing traffic on the roads to other parts of the country, and to prevent air flights from coming in.
The advantage of this would be … with luck … less loss of life than, say, sending in a SWAT team or a National Guard, or worse yet, doing a pinpoint strike.
So that is my idea … something simple. If that did not work, after a length of time, then I would look at more serious action.
Real Estate Seizure Gambit in a Putative Rogue Town
There is one other thing that LI think might happen; and I think, in this case, it would be a different sort of action that would be taken: It is possible that there may be some small towns coming up, where, if a person from another part of the country buys real estate there … if it is a crime town, like the one I described above … they may find that they are arrested on trumped up charges by, say, the sheriff or police officer who is in league with the crime family, and that their only way of getting out of the situation … or worse yet, execution … would be to give their land to the rogue law enforcement officer for a mere dollar, for a pittance … for nothing … in exchange for a lighter sentence or no death sentence … or a chance to leave town and never come back, as in the old days in the Wild West, the days of formation of the country, when laws were rather ‘catch as catch can’.
If that were to happen, that anyone’s real estate could be seized and sold, and they could be In prison with no real reason for it, then in essence, no one could hold property. No one would have property rights in that town, except for the people in the crime gangs.
The crime gang could move into any house in town that it wanted to … say, murder the owners, and falsify the real estate ownership records saying that they were the new owners, and that the house had been sold for a dollar whatever price it might be.
Dealing with Rogue Towns, from a Federal Standpoint
What does this mean in terms of the United States, and social unrest, and secession? To me it means that the most basic right of American people is being violated; the most basic right of property ownership is being violated. And so that town … that rogue town … has violated the United States Constitution.
Again I feel that this is an act of secession. You could consider it a terrorist act too. But in this case what I would do is ask the CIA Factbook to list that town as a place that is too dangerous for Americans from other parts of the country to visit; and to explain why. And I would ask them to issue an advisory that people should not buy land in that area, and to explain why.
It would be kind of like it used to be, to buy land in Mexico: You could not really buy land; you had to go in with a partner who was a Mexican national, if you were American. It might be kind of like that, in rogue United States towns, eventually.
Of course, the other thing that could be done, if property rights are constantly violated, is simply for the United States government to prohibit United States citizens from purchasing land there, if they are not natives of the local area.
Really it would be as if the rogue town were a foreign nation, and the property rights of the mainland Americans would need to be rewritten in the context of that. That is what I feel. We may experience a town or two like that, in the coming years, since everyone is becoming psychic, and they are clearing things out of their energy fields.
Such rogue towns might even exist right now, and they might need a little ‘what for’ … a little getting in tune with the situation in the rest of America. That is what I think.
Conclusion
I would not take this too seriously. We Americans are a strong people, and we can take it in stride, even if it should happen in the rare instance.
Enough talking. You all take care. Love you lots. Have a wonderful February.
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

Then I read in an article written for CNET by Katie Teague and Kelsey Fogarty on 14 September 2021 that the IRS might take 6 months (rather than the usual 3 weeks) to process the tax returns of about 10% of its taxpayers.

1. ECONOMIC STRESSORS THAT MAY LEAD TO DECENTRALIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT top
I have some thoughts on the state of the nation. Intuitively, I sense economic stressors that may gradually lead to our Federal government taking a lesser role in the governance of the United States, compared to the role of regional alliances of states.
Just to put this into perspective, this might be more of a Libertarian notion as a way of the ruling of the United States, still within the plan of our democracy, but rather different in emphasis from what we have known for a long time as the Democratic / Republican dichotomy.
All this time, Greenpeace and Libertarianism have been on our ballots, so we know they are a part of our democratic process. Only the look and feel of them is quite different, and it may cause us to wonder what is happening in the coming years.
In the coming times, I see the Federal government continuing to provide military defense, social security payments, and leadership in foreign affairs. I also see states taking more initiative in regard to economics for their regions.
As to trade, I see future reliance on established railroad routes and water routes such as the Mississippi River. I anticipate that, should there be a gradual lessening of Federal power, then there might be more trade within an economic region, and less trade globally and nationally.
As to finance, I see potential reliance on barter, with care not to place our financial assets in overseas locations. Local-employment-based credit unions may come into favor as regional savings repositories.
There may be more reliance on those economic sectors that hold strong during recessions … such as locally grown food, locally obtainable building materials, and water supplies not piped in over long distances.
As to economic stressors, I suggest the overarching stressor of the COVID-19 pandemic, the slowly building economic impact of the HIV pandemic, and stress of regional aridity due to long-distance water transport costs,
A socially disruptive stressor is handheld psychosis, which may lead to chaotic events such as mass murders and actions by public utilities, local law enforcement, and the military regarding perceived dangers that do not truly exist. This might precipitate social unrest, especially in regions of the United States pinpointed by the Jade Helm exercises.
…
2. CAVEATS REGARDING POSSIBLE LOCI OF SOCIAL UNREST top
In United States cities, the high cost of housing and the increasing phenomenon of homelessness may lead to social unrest and attempted land grabs through anarchist behavior; this is something for which, I feel, every large city mayor and every state government ought to have on hand emergency action plans.
For states in arid regions, emergency anti-anarchist plans ought, I feel, to highlight security of water transport systems. Electrical grids, I feel, might also be an anarchist target.
I have a few examples for you, state by state …
In California, I see a rekindling of the Latin American ideal of revolutionary ardor, with possible attempts by undocumented workers … or documented workers fleeing from crimes in their homelands under false names. These energies might, for instance, take the form of faking murders of homeowners under pretense of COVID deaths. The intent might be a fast flip of real estate for profit for a revolutionary cause. Or such an attempt might be made so as to charge revolutionaries rent on homes acquired through COVID murder. Such murders might take place under the aegis of religious righteousness … or what I might term leftwing terrorism.
In others of the United States, there may be similar energies of fake COVID deaths to espouse other causes, such as black militance, white supremacy, and so on.
In Utah, there might be a Mormon separatist energy because of the seditionist history I have read took place with the founder of Mormonism. (I read that in Wikipedia.)
In Florida, there might be attempts on political power by drug lords from countries to the south. And so on.
We people in large United States cities can be a big help in creating peaceful environments for our children by offering our law enforcement departments volunteer help through neighborhood watch programs.

3. ON MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN THE FACE OF CHANGE top
It seems unlikely to me that anything would happen in a moment; rather I feel that the United States might very slowly tend towards a model of government more akin to the state by state model of our early years as a nation. We may find, in future, that traveling from one state to the next is a refreshingly new experience. Not everyone may be watching the same thing on television every night anymore; there may be less airline flights from here to there; and so the natural flavor and local color of each region of the United States may become more striking to the casual tourist.
In addition, it may be that some regions of the United States may be more perilous (that is, more dangerous) for tourist travel, as was the case for travelers in the early years of our nation.
I realize the prospect of change can be unsettling. It is good to keep in mind that changes such as those spoken of … if, indeed, change there be … would in all likelihood take place by slow stages, over the course of the next century or two. Thus I feel certain there would be plenty of time to make our plans and find our footing in the new.

4. POSSIBLE FUTURE UNITED STATES ECONOMIC REGIONS AND TRADE REGIONS top
This section has a series of maps that I have adapted to show possible United States economic regions and trade regions of the centuries that are to come. I would be interested in your comments regarding this intriguing topic of the eventual possibility that the United States government might become less centralized, and more imbued with local flavor and with the strong spirit of our local communities.
HIV-AIDS Pandemic Economic Stressor 1: One Eastern Economic Region Including the Southern States and the Eastern Seaboard
The first map looks like this …

DESCRIPTION: To the right of the white line, One Eastern Economic Region including the Southern states and the Eastern Seaboard …
You can see a topographical map of the United States that also shows the aridity … the rainfall. States that are green have more rainfall; states that are yellow, less; and states that are red, very little rainfall. Then I have drawn a white line showing an economic region that includes the Eastern Seaboard and the Southern states.
These states are very much affected right now … more so than the other states … by the HIV and AIDS pandemic. And my thought was that that might act as a stressor that would consolidate that group of states into an economic region …
HIV-AIDS Pandemic Economic Stressor 2: An Eastern Seaboard Economic Region and a Southern Economic Region
This map encompasses the same general region as the prior map, but it is divided into two economic regions. To the right is the Eastern Seaboard, and to the bottom left, the Southern states. There is a yellow line between the two economic regions …

So that would be two regions with their own special, local flavor, their own trade agreements; and maybe closely aligned with inter-region trade agreements.
Western Economic and Cultural Stressors: Northwest Economic Region and California Central Valley Economic Region
The below map deals with the West Coast. It shows two economic regions set apart from the rest of the United States with white lines. The upper one is the Northwest Economic Region, and the lower one is the California Central Valley Economic Region …

Lower and to the right is a Texas Trade Region comprising what is now eastern, central, and northern Texas. Then there are two southern regions delineated in white. These are regions that might lean favorably towards alliance with Mexico, but with which we might anticipate establishing reciprocal trade agreements. To the left is a Mexican Trade Corridor comprising California from Los Angeles and to the south; the lower halves of Arizona and New Mexico, and the southwestern part of Texas.

As to the Utah-Colorado Trade Region: In Utah, the Mormon faith is very strong. And in Colorado, the Christian faith is very strong. I thought that those two areas of this economic region might pull separately apart, possibly along religious lines.
Southwestern Arid Region: Small Town and Native American Reservation Citadels
This is an interesting map. There is a Description below the image …

This area of the country is very, very arid. One can tell that by the color. I have cordoned off this entire arid zone as an area where Native Americans may establish reservation ‘citadels’ or ‘city towns’ that might act as trading posts for the area, for instance. I consider that they would become more like ‘city states’ if transportation slows down in the United States, and especially in that area, over the centuries.
Central Breadbasket Economic Region
On this map, the area in question is rather green. There is a little yellow, so that part is a little more arid land. It comprises the United States to the west and to the south of the Great Lakes. It includes most of the Mississippi River Valley as well. It looks like this …
Image: “Central Breadbasket Economic Region,” adapted by Alice B. Clagett, 6 December 2019, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: Circled in green is a Central Breadbasket Economic Region, with plentiful rainfall and good river transportation. This includes the eastern portion of the Great Plains, as well as the area south of the Great Lakes, west of the Appalachians, and north of the Southernmost states … CREDIT: The topographic map is “USA topo en.jpg” [USA Topographical Map], from Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USA_topo_en.jpg … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

DESCRIPTION: Circled in green is a Central Breadbasket Economic Region, with plentiful rainfall and good river transportation. This includes the eastern portion of the Great Plains, as well as the area south of the Great Lakes, west of the Appalachians, and north of the Southernmost states …
We can anticipate that, if this continues to be a breadbasket area, it could provide food for other economic regions in the United States; and therefore, we would need to maintain some form of transportation to the south and to the east of the Central Breadbasket Region. The question would be whether transportation might be maintained across that vast, arid expanse to the west of the Breadbasket; or whether the Western Seaboard would need to grow its own foodstuffs as transportation became less prevalent.
Possible Future Capital Cities of the United States
Here is the last section, and an interesting one. I have for you three possibilities labeled 0, 1 and 2. The first is Washington, D.C., numbered ‘0’, because that is where the capital of the United States is right now.
Next is Lancaster, Pennsylvania, labeled ‘1’. Long ago, our nation’s capital was Lancaster; so I thought, perhaps one day our capital will be there once more.
And the last is Saint Louis, Missouri, labeled ‘2’. Saint Louis is right in the middle of the Breadbasket. I suggested Saint Louis as the second possibility because the location would be more centralized, and it might pull the other regions together.

Clagett, 6 December 2019, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: The current capital of the United States is Washington DC (numbered ‘0’ on the map). Because of the AIDS crisis in Washington DC, and because our nation’s capital was once Lancaster PA, I suggest eventual relocation of the Capital back to Lancaster (numbered ‘1’ on the map).

In the event of decentralization here in the United States, I feel the United States might expect to enjoy three power blocks along geographic lines of the three COVID pacts now in place amongst states in the Eastern States, the Midwest, and the Western States …
The Eastern States Multistate Council to do with COVID consists of the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island …
As well, there is the Midwest Governors Regional Pact” to do with COVID. This consists of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin …
Here is the map of the power blocks for these pacts, which, I feel, may well be expanded to assure continuity of taxation, mail delivery services, securance of real property rights, and local military defense, in the event of decentralization of the United States …

6.4 CAVEATS FOR UNITED STATES DOMESTIC TOURISTS top
It may become more difficult to travel from state to state; this may have to do with lack of availability of gasoline, or lack of availability of charging stations for electric cars.
United States tourists may find it less safe to travel to other states. Their lives may even be imperiled while staying in some small towns that are distant from their own residences.
There may be tampering on a local basis with criminal databases, combined with identity theft and synthetic identity fraud, so that a tourist to a small town in a distant state is fraudulently classed as a criminal, and then subjected to local laws whose flavor and whose meeting of criminal punishment differs greatly from those in the tourist’s home town.
For instance, in the visited town euthanasia of senior citizens might be legal. The ‘captured’ tourist might be legally executed on a charge of senile dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. That charge could be made to stick through unrelated, criminal local people swearing on oath that the person is their spouse, swearing that the age is elderly, stating that the person has no money or means of earning it. Then the tourist might be killed and his or her money divvied up amongst the judge and the perjuring criminal.
Other instances: Blue laws and the penalties for child molestation, and the enforcement of these laws differ greatly from state to state. It is easy to assume that what ‘flies’ in one’s own state will ‘fly’ in the tourist town. Then, quick as a whip, a person might find himself behind bars and far from home, and subject to whatever local scam will fleece him of his money.
Another instance: Drug possession laws differ greatly from state to state. The scenario is the same as for Blue laws.
Drug lords may be in possession of the town, as was the case with Baltimore, Maryland, in recent years. If so, anything goes. Best not to set foot there. It is possible that local law enforcement and local court systems in towns ‘captured’ by drug lords might function in ways unexpected by a tourist, because of the threat of death for themselves and their families, and also because of financial inducements by drug lords. In other words, the tourist’s life might be worth a nickel. Maybe less.
A local tradition of bribery of officials is a consideration for tourists. This horse kicks two ways: You might be jailed if you do not bribe; or you might be fined for attempting to bribe. I am at a loss for words here.
Other instances: Homelessness may be considered a cause for euthanasia without court trial. This stance might be set in place by barring a tourist from local motels and hotels, then accosting him or her while asleep in their car.
Suppose a local gas fill-up were to result in a car breakdown 10 miles away, say, in the desert. Suppose the gas station owner had a group of related men who went out to scavenge vehicle parts, wallet and credit cards of the stranded car owner, and leave his bones beneath a Joshua tree.
[In terms of unexpected services rendered, I have encountered a case a little like that here in Los Angeles, where an acupuncturist demanded to see the drivers license after treatment, as a prerequisite to payment for services rendered. I intuited that the health care practitioner has an expensive addiction, and had been sending round family members to the addresses on the drivers licenses of her clients to burglarize the homes to help finance her habit. To prevent the victims from returning … in other words, to ensure a fresh group of people to be burgled … the acupuncturist set the electric needle settings too high, so that her clients received muscle-stunning electric shocks from the needles.]
The tourist’s sanity may be placed in doubt through false testimony by local mail-order psychologists also claiming at the local police station to be the ‘spouse’. This may be a game with many innings.
I intuit that local sheriffs and judges place more weight on testimony of their friends and neighbors than they do on the testimony of strangers. Where you visit, if you travel alone, may have crime gangs that, in cahoots with a sheriff or law enforcement officer, railroading tourists with intent to gain more tourist dollars. This may be more likely in low per capita towns.
There may be a local tradition of kangaroo courts that convict a tourist of this or that without his or her presence in the courtroom. There may be other legal irregularities, such as a crooked judge who holds a kangaroo court session on a Sunday, with written judgment conveyed, but with no online record of a court case. The kangaroo court paper of the crooked judge might be used to ‘capture’ and shake down the tourist. There is a danger of legal murder by euthanasia after the shake down, so as to prevent the tourist from taking legal action against the offending parties after changing the venue to their own home town.
In other words, the law may not be on your side, or it may not take the stance you expect it to take, when you travel to another state. This may become increasingly true with time, that towns in states other than one’s own may prove lethally unfriendly to tourists.
