la lechera: you might be interested in siri hustvedt's the shaking woman or a history of my nerves, which is only tangentially related to what's being discussed here but still a good read (although it's missing the lurid aspect).

there is an interview with her here: http://bigthink.com/ideas/19610

It had been eight years since I had been hunted and brutalized by Cheney in Wyoming, and apparently he wanted to see how my programming had progressed before agreeing to use me in Reagan’s "Hands-On Mind-Control Demonstrations". He grabbed me roughly by the hair and slung me onto a black leather chair, tipping my head backwards over the high studded arm.

"Audition here," he snarled. Since I last saw him, I had undergone Wizard Of Oz Tin Man programming, which he accessed to accommodate his large, thick penis. He placed his hands on my jaw while he said, "Soon we’ll have you purring like a wet l oiled machine. All of your moving parts are pivotal and gliding with ease. Melt into my hands. I’ll hold your jaw to keep it from slipping while you slip through a window in lime." He then jerked my jaw out of joint, and roughly gratified himself in my throat.1

As he lit his cigarette, I slowly regained focus enough to realize I was in pain. The back of my head hurt from being thrust into the studs on the chair, and I slowly lifted my head. My owner, Senator Byrd, had just walked in and realized Cheney had already completed the "audition". Referring to compartmentalizing my memory via stun gun high voltage, Byrd asked, "Did you fry her?"

Cheney, ’cocksure’ of himself as always, answered. "She can’t have fucked all of Washington" (indicating that no one would believe me anyway, even if I did reach this point and talk). Cheney put out his cigarette and said as he went out the door, "She’ll work. Tell Ronnie she’ll work."

When Byrd saw that my lips were bleeding, he called Cheney a "son of a bitch" under his breath, as this damage would prevent my fulfilling other assignments that were planned for me. Byrd touched his finger to my swollen lips and tasted the blood (and Cheney) several times. Then he slapped me hard across the face, which re-aligned my jaw but caused more blood to flow down my chin. He took a box of tissues from the desk and threw it at me, the corner hitting me in the forehead. "Wipe yourself up. You’re just getting started. I’ll see to it you get what you’ve got coming to you."

Fortunately for me, Byrd had cause to return to the formal cocktail party and did not have time to brutalize me further. My face was battered, mouth torn, and my throat felt torn and stretched. I had difficulty swallowing for some time, and could not speak. I certainly was in no condition to return to the cocktail party, and was escorted out by agents/guards.

oops, i forgot to include the footnote from the cheney story:
1 My jaw is permanently damaged From Cheney. I have chronic TMJ.

also, in the same book reagan's favorite music is that of Air Supply, and he somehow uses their songs to program the author's various compartmentalized personalities

I went down the cathy o'brien mk-ultra psychic sex assassins rabbit hole in the good old days of the weird web - dimly remember getting disturbed by late-night reading of the greenbaum brainwashing/mpd stuff - this is the big thing about it, looks like overlong craziness now, I'll see if I can't find a summary.

Wow, Ted Patrick, huh. What a guy!

Started reading Sybil Exposed last night. I'm not too far into it, but I will say that Sybil was most certainly theologically abused. Yikes.

You are going to enjoy the shit out of this book.

I had no idea that Seventh Day Adventists invented soy milk and veggie burgers. I mean, if I stopped reading it right now I would still feel like I got my money's worth right there.

Sybil's mom made and sold a tomato-flavored meat substitute iirc. I forgot to mention that yesterday.

Patrick reminds me a bit of the guy who started America's Most Wanted--moving from a personal event to a public crusade--although Patrick's resume seems a lot dicier.

Didn't know till reading 1973 Nervous Breakdown that Lyndon LaRouche was part of the cult hysteria with "Operation Mop-Up": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche.

there's a whole other side to this that we haven't discussed -- the culture of diagnosed multiples who "choose not to reintegrate"

here is an essay from one of them http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/nambiet/integration.html

The entire idea that a household must "integrate" in this sense is a product of social control through rigid definition, something I hope American society is moving away from.
It also doesn't work as easily as we are led to believe. Dr. Lucinda Harman, who worked with numerous multiples -- officially diagnosed with MPD -- at Dr. Cornelia Wilbur's Open Hospital for Multiple Personality, often observed people in households arranging to -pretend- to be integrated to keep the doctors happy. She reports the following:
"Frequent stories about providing therapists and society with what they wanted to see, abound. I have never met an integrated multiple. However, some tried to convince themselves that they were -- the whole time that they were switching."
So obviously, it isn't as easy as it's been made out to be. You may wish to take this into consideration if you are thinking about trying to integrate.

btw for those who fuck with Nook, Debbie Nathan's Satan's Silence is only $3.50 on there...

Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 14:45 (eleven years ago) link

There is also the Tumblr (at least this is where I've seen it) phenomenon of "headmates," and specifically additional personalities that take on the traits of a fictional character - http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/headmates.

I'm sure there are better dedicated blogs but that is at least a sampling.

ms. cookie (carl agatha), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:02 (eleven years ago) link

I think the headmates that are fictional characters are called "fictives."

ms. cookie (carl agatha), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:03 (eleven years ago) link

Satan's Silence is $3 on Kindle! I bought it.

Oh jesus. This whole headmate/plural/otherkin/transethnic/FFhouse stuff is completely and utterly nuts.

Thanks, Dr. Wilbur!

I can believe how many of these people are on tumblr, it's bananas.

LISTEN TO THIS BRAD (Nicole), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:26 (eleven years ago) link

wait, what?

nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:27 (eleven years ago) link

Wait, where did you get Satan's Silence for Kindle? Amazon says it's not even available on Kindle.

I'm fascinated by the Tumblr Headmates. I feel a legitimate internal conflict between my general tendency toward taking people at their word when they are talking about their own mental health and personal identities, and thinking it's mostly just a bunch of kids using it as a coping strategy for being bullied at school. Like, "Nobody will eat lunch with me... it is because I AM A WOLF!!! HOOOOOWWWLLLLLL!!!!!"

ms. cookie (carl agatha), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:29 (eleven years ago) link

created to suppress the sexual urges of young girls iirc

Dunn O)))))))) (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:29 (eleven years ago) link

And boys. All the sexual urges. But while jerking it was bad news for boys, it was a one way ticket to dying on the streets as a filthy whore and going straight to hell for girls.

i revived a thread to talk about the tumblr headmates thing but no one was biting

My name is Paul Allen, and I am an otherkin. I am 22 years old, and I live in Canada. I recently discovered what an otherkin was, and I was so thankful to find people like me on Tumblr, it has helped me realize exactly what it is about me that made me feel so different from other people.

I have a few headmates, but the one that I am identifies as a spatula. This is going to be a serious blog about me going through life as a someone who identifies as a spatula. I hope I can make a few friends along the way as well :D

thomp, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 15:55 (eleven years ago) link

wow

a spatula

i don't really know what to say

thanks tumblr
