TDR Reader Response: The CIA Tortures My 'Upstanding' Family and MeBy Andrew Grossman | Friday, March 1, 2002 We at The Dartmouth Review appreciate and respect our readership, but sometimes things go too far. During the month of February, the newspaper received thirty-some voicemail messages from a Californian subscriber on a mission: to expose radio psychologist Toni Grant as a conniving terrorist intent on blowing up libraries and bookstores. Each morning's playing of the voicemail yielded new messages left overnight, all marked 'urgent,' which no one else using our convoluted voicemail system has ever figured out how to do. From odd the messages became frantic, and from frantic lunatic, as the CIA and the Post Office and 'racist Harvard psychologists' (now that's a shocker) colluded to...well, it's not exactly clear what they colluded to do but it's no doubt underhanded, treacherous, and evil. What follow are several messages transcribed in their entirety by a junior staff member. Maybe there's something to all this; maybe I've just been listening too long. Is anyone there? Well, it's 10:48... is anyone there? Pick up the phone. You know what's happening — these nuts on drugs. They are psychologists and psychiatrists. It's very obvious to me that they don't even have a high school diploma. And they have these, wow, weapons of destruction; you can't believe it. I tried communicating over and over again—I don't know—they can shut it down sometimes. And they can literally rape you with a weapon without being in the room. They can do things to your joints, they can zap your heart, they can blind you—they can blind you! They can do stuff like that over and over again. And I was just trying to figure out what was going on. I didn't even know what was going on in the war because they've run me ragged. They use torture techniques invented by the CIA on me, an innocent citizen. None of the people in my family ever did anything wrong. And these nuts, these psychologists, they had access to it, and I guess they thought, 'Fun, we'll do these awful things to this very nice family and we'll make up horrific lies about them, horrific, and ruin their reputations.' And they're doing it, you know why? To steal some money for their drug habits. And they have these—oh, the weapons they have, and what they can do to you! When I try to call out, they can do just a variety of things. You can't believe what they can do with their technology to sabotage you from taking this off the air or from calling all kinds of people. And when all kinds of people try to call me... it's impossible... I don't know how to communicate. I don't know how to communicate with the outside world. They have such a variety of ways to, like, sabotage you and they've completely isolated me here. The mailman admitted the other day he threw out five hundred letters. Like, they can do all kinds of horrific torture techniques, and then on top of that, they completely isolate you, and it works synergistically or whatever. It's horrible. And it's like impossible, because the phone almost, it never rings, it never rings, and I just have medical people, scientific people, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dalai Lama tried to call. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pope tried to call. I wouldn't be surprised if generals tried to call. I wouldn't be surprised if President Bush and Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Bush senior tried to call. And those nuts on drugs, those psychologists, they are actually, they can actually block those calls, they can actually block calls like that. I mean, most Native Americans don't have phones, but I bet I've gotten incredible, I've probably gotten tons of letters from Native Americans, and I haven't gotten one. I bet I got tons of letters from the Amish, from the Mennonites, from feminists all over the world, from heads of state, from maybe the Queen of England. Can you imagine the type of mail my mother would be getting? Like truckloads of letters from Asians, you know. We never get a single thing, which means that there's hanky-panky and the post office and mailman... Hello. Is anybody there? I am just exhausted. I've just been run ragged. I want to report something. I'm a real writer. A real one, not a fake one, like that idiot, Toni Grant. I'm trying to write an exposé on Toni Grant, and believe it or not, she says awful things. She doesn't want to be exposed; she doesn't want to be exposed, you know. She's a very strange individual, very strange indeed. I was just writing down, like, bookstores. I wanted to go to this bookstore and that bookstore and I wanted to go to the stacks at UCLA, and if you don't know what the stacks are... I haven't been there in a long time, but at one time, it was like the research library, it was like wonderful, it was fantastic. I didn't take any drugs or anything, but you could get high in the stacks, meaning, if you really love research, you could get high in the stacks. You know, the professors go to the stacks—the actual professors, not a figment of someone's imagination, but actual professors go to the stacks, Toni. Excellent students go to the stacks. When I was there, it like a high rating, or something, only I can't remember exactly, but the most gifted students or something were allowed in the stacks. I was one of those students, Toni. And Dr. Hart, I guess, I'm sure you have a house, and I'm sure it's not listed, but, oh my, this is like a bad thing, isn't it? It's like 1 AM out there. So you're kind of like the Donald Trump of Dartmouth. You're the most respected professor at Dartmouth. And I don't know if you've heard what she said, but I was just writing. It's legal to write in this country, isn't it, Dr. Hart? It's not some weird country where, you know, writers get tortured or burned at the stake or God knows what. This is the United States, isn't it? We can read anything we want, we can... This is a continuation. I'm just trying to communicate with anyone I can. I'm not an idiot, but I don't know about technology, modern technology. But I just wanted to tell you what she had to say. It was just unbelievable; it was unbelievable. I had a list of bookstores, and I was writing down libraries I wanted to go to, and she said—you know what she said? She said, 'Let's blow them up.' That is literally what she said. Now, isn't it legal, isn't this the United States, or what? Isn't this the United States, Dr. Hart? I mean, can't a writer...I mean it wasn't pornography. It wasn't child pornography. It wasn't something awful. You know, I just wanted to... You know, Dr. Hart, her book is very strange; it's very strange indeed. Very strange. I mean, the idea, the very idea. It's called, Being a Woman, Fulfilling Your Femininity and Finding Love. Very strange, the way Toni Grant fulfills her femininity and finds love. And if you want to read it, try and get the original and not something she's doctored up with a computer, because one thing she does very, very well—she can really destroy things with a computer, she can completely rewrite history with a computer. And so she literally said...You know I wanted to do on exposé on her, and she literally said, she wanted to blow up the bookstores and the libraries that I wanted to go to. And I thought, 'That was rather strange.' Don't you? I mean, that was strange thing to say. So I said, 'Toni, what country do you think we're living in? What country do you think we're living in, Toni?' And I don't know if anybody out there heard her, and I'm a little strange—I was born a long time ago... So, Dr. Hart, you have no idea how Toni and her nuts over in the psychology and psychiatry departments at Harvard—what they can do to like sabotage everything. I mean, if you knew what they did to your recording, I mean they make The Dartmouth Review, they make you sound like a bunch of idiots. They just make you sound like a bunch of idiots. I'm sure your recording would never sound like that. Never. And this is awful. This is just awful. Because I guess you didn't get the messages before? Oh boy. She did something on the first two times I called, the first two times, like she took something off that you actually said—like to send something to the editors—and she took that off the first two times. I would have sent the message immediately to the editors, but she took it off of your recording. And the third time, she gave it away; she gave it away. And she said, 'If you want to send it to the editors....' And I said, 'What? What do you mean?' And you know, I didn't send it. So anyway, the timing...in aikido, if you read about aikido. I haven't taken it, but they say timing is important. But, did you notice where she cut the call on the second message? And I was asking, 'Toni, what country do you think this is, Toni? What country do you think this is, that you can go around blowing up bookstores and libraries?' And do you know what she said, over and over again? She said, 'It's Nazi Germany.' You have no idea of the powers she has, the powers that the government, the powers, I can't believe it. I mean, she's not a good person, and she's not really a smart person, but the government has given her powers, unbelievable power, and I hope that you got the first three messages, and the timing—timing is important. I said, 'Toni, what country do you think this is in? Just what country do you think this is?' That a writer, an actual writer, can be writing a book, and she, who is a great mental health authority, she calls the mental health authorities to like, take you away, because, you know, you're writing a book. Literally, that happened the other day. I mean, these idiots, they came to the door, and they tried to barge in. They said, what, they wanted to look at the inside of my refrigerator. You know, what is it their business what the inside of my refrigerator looks like? They said, 'What is your source of income?' What the hell, is it their business? Now, I have a roof over my head—I mean, what the hell was that about? What the hell were they doing there? And I got them to go away. I mean, is this the United States...or is it Nazi Germany? Okay, I remember talking about aikido—timing is real important, and you notice the exact moment when the machine cuts off, that's her, or the idiots at Harvard, the race psychologists at Harvard, who've been torturing my family to death. The race psychologists, the racist, race psychologists at Harvard. They have like all of this technology, but they are such bad people, such bad people. When I was younger, such characters would not have been at Harvard, they would have been incarcerated. They would have been in Sing Sing, or chopping rocks or some damn thing. But, it can be so exhausting to communicate, because of what they can do to you. It's exhausting. She said over and over again, it was unbelievable. She said, 'It's Nazi Germany, it's Nazi Germany.' Dr. Hart, it's just like the subject for a book, another book, it looks like Hollywood has had the American people. You know in the 50s, we used to go to my grandmother's house, like once a week. And my uncle was there, and he would take pictures out, it was either Life or Look Magazine, of Jews who had been tortured and stuff, and no one back then had strange ideas—like the Jews who had been tortured, that they should look like movie stars or something. Nobody thought like that, you know. You would see the scenes of the emaciated bodies, all piled up and pictures of people who had been tortured with bruises and all that, and there was nobody crazy enough to think, well, there must be something.... Well, this is like the subject for a book. Remember in the 50s, when we saw those pictures of people who had been sadistically tortured? Was there anyone who thought, well, you know, they were psychotic, or had weird disorders, because they didn't look like Elizabeth Taylor, or a beautifully made up movie star, or someone? No one thought those things—it was awful. It was crystal clear to anyone who was normal that when someone who's been tortured—you know, you look awful—you don't look great. And so, I'm trying to tell you, I know I look awful, I totally know it. I know how a beautiful woman looks. I used to look like a beautiful woman. I know how to do it. But it's hard to do it, Dr. Hart, when they come into your place, and they've destroyed my entire wardrobe. They've destroyed it. And through that high-security medical lock—expensive. You have to be a very sophisticated but awful, awful locksmith to do something like that, because I'm the only one who should have the key, or maybe one or two others, and I've changed the lock twice, and in spite of it—it's so completely obvious that people come in all the time. Everything I have has been vandalized, Dr. Hart, everything, just everything. From my wardrobe, to my...If you knew what they did to my bed. I can't say it on the air, Dr. Hart, because I care about the mental health of children. I can't say it. But that's why I sleep on the floor. I could just see in the kitchen. Everything, you know what they... Apparently, you've all seen my place or something? You know it looks like a cyclone hit it, doesn't it? It's even worse than it looks. But to a writer, it's worse. To people looking at it, it looks awful, but, to a writer, Dr. Hart, to a writer, what they did here, it's like, to a writer, it's so awful. It's abundantly clear when I go out, people come in and they do awful things. I didn't know anything about computers before, Dr. Hart, maybe a year and a half of college. She just makes up horrible things about me. I didn't know anything about computers, until I would look at my books and beautiful art, and believe it or not, whoever has been doing this, they're terrible racists—they're just terrible racists. I have beautiful...everything I have. I mean, I know I look like a wreck, I know it. And how did the tortured Jews look? Did they look magnificent, or just... Nobody was silly enough to think, 'Oh well, you look awful so you're low class or...' I can just imagine the absurd books that have been written about how I look. You know, well, she must be delusional, her hair wasn't fixed by Christophe, and her eyelashes were not curled this morning, and on and on. And her dress, she's not wearing a fifty-thousand dollar dress, and so obviously, she's incredibly disturbed, and you can just imagine the psychotic bullshit of the psychologists and the psychiatrists in this country. I mean that's what we've turned into in this country. You know, Hollywood rules. Madison Avenue rules. Can there be anything more stupid than that? I mean if a psychologist... Hello. Do you know what you're watching? This is like really bad, Dr. Hart. You know where these torture techniques came from? The CIA. This is bad, isn't it? If I hadn't found that letter—it was just a miracle I found that letter. It came a couple years ago from a center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They treat torture survivors, like from around the world, and I didn't send them any money. I forgot, I threw it out, or I misplaced it. I thought about that letter for years. I thought, 'Gee, why didn't I send them ten dollars or something, to keep me on their mailing list?' And I found the letter, I was just looking through some things, and I found it at the bottom of the pile. And it's not good, Dr. Hart, because they said that the CIA, our CIA, came up with a manual of torture techniques. It's like the most horrific torture techniques. They did it because of the wars in Central America. I didn't know very much about it, like I sound stupid or something. I don't know everything about everything, but that's what it said in that letter. Like, our CIA, all of a sudden, it's not the CIA that is doing it to me exactly—it's... But I'm a citizen, I'm a taxpayer. The people in my family, we were like pillars of the community, and we're taxpayers, Dr. Hart. And, like, we aren't really Jewish, but apparently we are Jewish, aren't we Toni? We are, because of our last names. |
