  Daily Installment of Coffee Joe, by Jim O'Connor   Back to Main

I was in my thinking mode again. Usually when I got this way, I couldn't think of anything else. I was also contemplating ways to defeat the keyboard treatment. I thought that if we could have someone immobilize us, then run the same low-level electricity through us, while we watched funny movies. This would create what psychologists call a stimulus response. The idea here was that if you were in this position before the natural response would be to remember the movies that you saw the first time this happened. I would have to talk to a professional to see if this would work. Although, it sounded like something that might just do the trick.

It was getting late and I did have to work in the morning, so I went to bed. I knew if we were going to make any real attempt at restoring freedom, this was going to be a little dangerous to say the least. We would have to have a way of defeating the keyboard treatment. With as many people as George said were involved. This could get real ugly if someone talked without talking.

The next day at work, silence was the word of the day at the breakfast table. We were all thinking about the same things, but no one was saying anything. I told Ahsu and Bob of my keyboard idea. Bob said he thought it might work. Ahsu thought I was half-crazy. So I sent a message to George (via the florist) and asked if he could try to set up a test.

A couple of days later I got a message from George telling me that it does work. He said it's not a hundred percent, but of the people tested, they got the best results from those who had never been exposed to the test. George said he had someone in the organization working on lie programs to train people with. He wanted to get as many people trained on this as fast as possible. So, he gave me the address of where this guy had all of the equipment set up. He wanted us to get over there for a couple hours on the machine within the next couple of days.

That night Ahsu, Bob, and I went to the address George gave us. They had about 10 positions set up. This was a regular laboratory; only it was in this guy's basement.
