I have to deal with my life.

January 31, 2017


I have school.  I have to deal with my housing situation.  My life is stressful all the time, and when one crisis is over, another starts.

I'm not saying I won't publish anything, but I think I should try to step back from talking about the most consequential things for a while; the world stage is a demanding place.

It's optimistic that so many people care about what happens to the world, even if they have some conflicting ideas.  

think that the way that Muslims who are trying to get into the United States are being treated is important. People who are part of the process of detaining and talking to them should be asked to treat them with every courtesy and respect.  


Most Muslims are nice people.

I'm not playing favorites with President Trump.

This is the United States. If I wanted to be a courtier to a monarch, I'd live somewhere else.

All I said was that people need to be vetted, and they do.

January 30, 2017


I also said several other things that are supportive of Muslims everywhere in the United States.  There's no reason for Muslims to be mistreated anywhere, but vetting them before they get into the country is a process that our federal government obviously needs to improve from the previous administration.  

There is also no reason that the Russian government should be able to make yet another land grab, this time in Syria, and then make everyone else pay for it by taking care of the people who are displaced by it.  All Syrians have the right to live in a free, peaceful, democratic Syria.  

How often is the Russian government going to push everyone around?  What's next?

I'm the great granddaughter of a refugee, and I have also lived like a refugee in my own country for 6 years, because of being persecuted by people like Scooter Braun.

January 30, 2017




That's a picture of a Tweet at Scooter Braun's Twitter.

There's nothing for him to be high and mighty about.  He illegally hacks my phone.  He illegally watches me in my apartment.  He's publicly degraded me whenever he feels like it for months and probably years, and has also encouraged people who work for him and who work with him also to degrade me.

"Be there for others in need?"  Is he kidding?  It's a joke, right?  All anyone had to do was tell the people whom I mentioned needed to know that there really are hidden and illegal cameras in my apartment, and then the cameras would have gotten removed, the crime of voyeurism against me would have stopped, and I wouldn't be getting forced to leave yet another apartment as if I did something wrong when I'm the victim of a crime.

I can't take any more dead bodies on American soil.

January 30, 2017

I can't read about it, hear it or see it.

It doesn't surprise me that President Obama, who did not care about the Syrian refugees enough to prevent them from being refugees, now has something to say when there are American protesters in the streets.  That man is a politician through and through.

He's not the President anymore.  Mrs. Clinton is also not the President.  I think a significant reason for that is that people hated the civilian death toll during the Obama administration and they had a visceral response to someone who said he would help the world to be safer. 

How is what has happened over the past 8 years better than the American military being sent to the Middle East to help people sort out their squabbles, so that peaceful people from those places don't have to flee their home countries?  At least people who are part of the military are prepared for people who want to kill them.

As far as Afghanistan is concerned, I made an incredible discovery a few years ago, which isn't that incredible because it's there on the Internet for anyone to read, that Afghanistan is the heroin capital of the world. If it's been a quagmire for decades, it seems to me that's probably because many people were paid to allow it to continue to be a quagmire, because it's much less effort to be a crime capital when you are not a functional democracy.  Anyone who knows better than I do should correct me about that.  It's not as if the world's opioid crisis is decreasing, is it?

I have questions about Syria.

January 30, 2017


The United States had a Civil War.

The people who rebelled were not murdered by the federal government or by mercenary armies after they surrendered, nor did they have to flee the country.

That was in the 1860s; has the world not advanced since then?

Also:



That's the address of an article called "Russian Draft of Syria Constitution to Help Syrians Create Own Version-Naumkin."

If there's going to be a Syrian constitution, which I think there should, then shouldn't it be contributed to or at least read by all Syrians, including those who are displaced?  The Internet makes that possible, as it also would make it possible for Syrians everywhere to vote on a constitution, choose candidates, watch and interact with campaigns, and vote.

Aren't there corporations who would give phones and temporarily free, unlimited Internet access to all Syrians, wherever they are, until they're able to return home to the government of their choice?  

At least, it's less difficult for the temporary host countries of the Syrian refugees to give them ballots than to permanently resettle them out of Syria, isn't it?

While Syrians everywhere are restructuring their government online, Russia, the United States and Europe can persuade ISIS to surrender or disband, can't we?

Syria can't be made safe and free for Syrians?

January 30, 2017

We can't clear out the bad guys, establish a democracy, and send the Syrians back to rebuild?

What are the millions of displaced Syrians going to do with the rest of their lives, scattered all over the globe?  Be unemployed?  Write memoirs?  It's not as much fun as people might think.

I get tired of asking for help.

January 30, 2017

I don't ask for a lot.

Hundreds of people know that there are hidden, illegal cameras in my apartment, and it seems as if none of them, not one person, has called the police to say that I'm telling the truth, even though I'm going to lose another place to live because of it.

Not only are they not helping, when it would cost them nothing to help, it seems like they're thinking of excuses to say that it's my fault.

They're not even disinterested bystanders; they're very interested in blaming me for something that I knew I couldn't do anything about as soon as I got the apartment and realized that I was being victimized by voyeurism again.  

Is a world where you see that someone needs help that would cost you nothing and you offer that help without a second thought my delusion?  Am I delusional for thinking that?

The wages of not being corrupt are not lucrative for me, so far.

January 30, 2017


Poverty continues to be a life-threatening vulnerability for me, in addition to being a vulnerability that encourages people to degrade me to a consistently miserable quality of the life that I'm able to have.

This is the second time in a row that a landlord has forced me to leave an apartment because I objected to being victimized by voyeurism.  The conglomerate watched it all happen from the hidden and illegal cameras the last time, and is watching it all happen from the hidden and illegal again, and NOBODY is doing anything to stop it.

There were two years of homelessness before I got my last apartment, during which I was relentlessly victimized by voyeurism in homeless shelters, psychiatric units where I went when the conglomerate's abuse had made me suicidal, and who knows where else.  There were another two years of homelessness from when I was evicted from that apartment to when I got this apartment last year, during which I was also relentlessly victimized by voyeurism, by the conglomerate's publicizing of the voyeurism as if it weren't a crime, and by the conglomerate's taunts about my being victimized by voyeurism.  

How many years of homelessness are going to happen now, while the conglomerate relentlessly victimizes me with voyeurism wherever it can, publicizes what it illegally sees and hears from the voyeurism, and calls me a slut, even though I was a virgin until I was 27, haven't had sex since I was 29, and HAVE NEVER CONSENTED TO BEING INTIMATELY FILMED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE?!

Did I get the "Cease and Desist" letter on December 22, 2016 because of the video that I filmed and published on December 20, 2016, of being thrown out of a support group at Boston Medical Center for having said that there are hidden, illegal cameras in my apartment?

January 30, 2017


Is that how the landlord knew that I have no help, while the landlord pretends not to know why I would think there are hidden, illegal cameras in my apartment?


Copyright L. Kochman, January 30, 2017 @ 9:46 a.m.

All anyone had to do was confirm that there are hidden, illegal cameras in my apartment, and nobody did, so I have to move out and have nowhere to move.

January 30, 2017











I never threatened anyone with anything other than talking to the police and lawyers, which I knew would be totally useless because I am too poor for the police or a lawyer to believe me or to care.  The police have not investigated the apartment for the hidden, illegal cameras, so I can't get the tangible proof that the cameras are in the apartment, and I have to move out.  

I also did not send a ton of emails to the property management, asking that they remove the cameras; even the lawyer at Legal Resources said that they weren't a lot of emails when I sent her copies of them last week.  However, she doesn't think the cameras are in the apartment; she thinks I'm mentally ill.  I asked her to ask the police to search the apartment for the cameras, and she said she would, and then she didn't call them; she was much more interested in getting the name and phone number of my psychiatrist and a release form to ask the psychiatrist about whether or not I have a diagnosis and whether or not I'm taking medication, and I think she was going to do that before she decided whether or not to call the police.  

Since I went to the hospital last week for an appointment for a physical problem, and this happened:




it doesn't seem as if it's probable that anyone at the hospital is going to verify my sanity; I don't even know if I'll be able to get into the building.  

What happened last week probably happened because of this, which I filmed and published on December 20, 2016:



I went to a support group on December 20, 2016 and attempted to talk about what some of my problems are, like cameras in my apartment, and the woman facilitating the group decided that I was paranoid and psychotic and she made me leave.  

Then, someone at the hospital reported to my psychiatrist (who is not the facilitator of the group) that I had filmed that video of being forced to leave the support group, and I got admonished for filming the video because of privacy concerns, even though I was careful not to film anyone's face.  

I am sure that there are people who work at that hospital who have known who I am for years, but what's happening now is that what I publish online is being taken out of context as if nothing that I say is happening is really happening, and I'm being treated as if I'm a danger to myself and others because of severe mental illness.  


This is a version of what I'll have to sign, for being a victim of voyeurism in my apartment and then for being retaliated against for objecting to being victimized:






The property management can decide at any time that I'm violating some part of this agreement and make me move out whenever they want.

It's difficult to get an apartment when you're poor.  It is improbable that I'll have another apartment to move to at the end of April or May, and I shouldn't have to move out anyway.  The cameras should have to move out.


All I asked was that someone say that I was telling the truth, and nobody did.

If Russia has at least partial control of Syria, then presumably Russia should be able to work with the United States and Europe to establish a Syrian democracy, and then the Syrians can return to Syria.

January 30, 2017


Is that a hopelessly naive thought?

How is Europe supposed to vet millions of people who are running for their lives? How is anyone supposed to do that?

Why shouldn't those people be home in 6 months?  Is someone saying that the United States, Russia and Europe can't establish a democracy in Syria?  Is that what Europe has turned into; a democracy hospice?

Is that accurate, or have I misread what's happening?

Then what happens?  Europe's economy weakens from having to provide welfare to millions of refugees?  The inevitable attacks in Europe by terrorists exploiting the refugee tragedy turn public opinion against Muslims and then toward xenophobia?  NeoNazi politicians who want personal power exploit Europe's fear and get elected?

Throughout that evil progression, is the Russian government going to be able to exploit Edward Snowden as a symbol of freedom, or could he perhaps please be pardoned?

The world did not disintegrate into Islamophobia; unfortunately, the world also did not stop terrorist attacks.

You don't think what's happening to me violates the Constitution?

January 29, 2017




That's another Tweet from Edward Snowden.

I'm losing my apartment.  I have to move out, because I objected to being victimized by voyeurism, and because I can't get anyone in the Boston area to believe me or to search my apartment for the hidden, illegal cameras that I know are there and that the conglomerate knows are there.

My entire life is a casual, dirty joke to whomever wants to treat me that way, whenever he or she wants to treat me that way.  I have NO PRIVACY AT ALL, and I'm victim-blamed for that, also.  

I am no supporter of privacy violations or excessive restrictions.  I live in the hell that you left, while you're treated like a hero and I'm treated like a joke, even though I never asked anyone to treat me as if I'm either.  

NOBODY is taking what's happening to me seriously.  NOBODY cares.  EVERYONE has something negative to say about me EVERY DAY.  Every day, there's another excuse for why I'm treated as if I have no rights.

I'm far from being the only victim of voyeurism and involuntary pornography in the Boston area, not to mention in the world.  Most of the victims are women, which is why it's not taken seriously and nothing's being done to stop it.  

Even suspected terrorists don't have to live the way that I live in MY OWN HOME.  In almost a year of living at this apartment, I have yet to change my clothes, take a shower or use the toilet without turning off all the lights and blocking the light at the bottom of the bathroom door with a towel or a blanket. Every day, the conglomerate has seen everything that I do to try to have as much privacy as I can in this illegal and degrading situation, and not only does the conglomerate never stop attacking me as if the voyeurism is my fault, NOBODY has told the police or anyone else that I'm telling the truth.

You live in Russia, but at my place, it's the Soviet Union.

I don't need your fans.  I don't need prizes or awards or people writing about me and how important I am to history, and I don't expect to be paid for writing or talking about human rights abuses; I couldn't care less about any of that.  I was born in the United States and I respect and abide by the law; I want to be treated that way.

I walked around at the Marathon in 2014.

One of the people whom I walked past was an older man, sitting quietly on a concrete bench on a side street, with his head in his hands, motionless. I don't know if he was grieving a person whom he had known or was paralysed by a memory.  

I have advocated against the death penalty for the remaining bomber, saying that he was too young when he was being brainwashed by his brother to realize what he was doing.  That is what I continue to think.

However, this is what I have to say to Mr. Snowden and everyone else who is droning on about religious freedom while international law enforcement works around the clock to prevent mass murders:

I DON'T CARE!  DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TELLING YOU?!  I DON'T GIVE A GODDAMN'!

No, that's wrong.

January 29, 2017




That's a Tweet by Edward Snowden from today.

The branches of government work together as a system of checks and balances; to say that the executive branch has to obey the judicial branch is equivalent to saying that the judicial branch has to obey the executive branch.

Another judge in 2013 knew that his ruling about emergency birth control would encourage child molesters.  This is a quote from him:





This is the address for the article that quoted him:





I hope it's not true that "the FDA permits drugs that it has found to be unsafe for the pediatric population to be sold over-the-counter," but I think it probably is true because the pharmaceutical lobby spends so much money and is so powerful.  That other medications that are unsafe for children are being sold over-the-counter without a prescription and without age restrictions is not an excuse to sell more unsafe medications, particularly medications that affect reproductive hormones.  

Mr. Snowden's Tweet is about the Muslim order.  Everything that I have read so far seems to say that only a couple of hundred people, at the most, have gotten detained in transit to the United States.  It shouldn't take the federal government 3 months to vet them, and there's so much support for them that I don't know why local places wouldn't house them for free during that time, if they remain in contact with local authorities.  I doubt that anyone will think there's a reason to send them back to their original countries.  

This is Mr. Snowden's next Tweet, which is a reTweet of one of Senator McCain's Tweets:





I don't think that terrorists care whom they kill.  I also think that our government has been clear, since before President Trump was elected, that the United States is not against Islam, it is against terrorism.  Why would terrorists care if people who aren't terrorists get into the United States, and why would people who left their countries rather than to be terrorists abandon their hope of settling somewhere else by suddenly deciding to be terrorists?  

Also, it doesn't seem to me that Mr. Snowden has always agreed with the rulings of American courts, particularly the secret ones.  I don't think that anyone can argue that President Trump is not acting with transparency; he is acting according to what he told the United States he would do before he got elected.  When people's lives are at risk, as the past several years have demonstrated that people's lives are, to initiate a restriction and then reduce the restriction according to what seems the safest is not unreasonable.   

President Trump and his administration aren't trying to hurt anyone; they are trying to protect people.  I'll say this again; I don't want to have to read one more news article about a massacre.  It only takes one person to kill hundreds of people.

What it's like to be treated as if you're stupid by the people who are supposed to help you, all your adult life

January 29, 2017

These people were supposed to help me get employment; that's their job.

I got this letter yesterday:




I have attempted to be a client of this agency since September 2016.  They finally told me at the beginning of January 2017 that the only work at which I could be successful was to wash dishes part-time, supervised while working by a one-on-one monitor from another vocational rehabilitation agency, and I objected to that degrading and inappropriate evaluation.  I gave them my transcript from the Spring Semester 2016 that has my grade point average of 3.9.  I sent them pictures of my clean and maintained apartment.  I sent them a picture of a utility bill that I had paid, so that they would know it was my apartment.  I was appropriate and polite to everyone at their agency and at the other agency and the workplace where they sent me to do menial labor as a test of my ability to work, which even the testing agency said I did better than anyone ever had.  I told them that I can't do anything about what people say about me on the Internet, that I have attempted to get the hateblogs about me removed and the websites that host them won't remove them.  I told them in September, without being asked, that I know that the Internet search results for "Lena Kochman" would make any prospective employer not want to hire me, which was why I needed the agency's help.  I told them that I did what I had to do, every year, to document being harassed and stalked, and that it was not a mental illness that had made me think that I had gotten harassed and stalked.  I told them about what had happened at school at the end of the Spring Semester 2016, and that I'd felt that I'd had to leave school for the summer and the fall for my own safety, because the school denied even knowing who the student who had stalked and harassed me at school was, until he began to harass me online in September 2016, when it was too late for me start school again.  

The Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission blamed EVERYTHING on me, although of course they'd never use a word such as "blame" and they never stop saying that I don't "understand" why they're saying that I'm too mentally ill to work somewhere without being degraded.  They cannot perceive me as a capable person; that is their disability, not mine, even though there are posters in their lobby promoting the conglomerate's agenda and specifically targeting me for voyeurism and involuntary pornography.  There could even be hidden, illegal cameras in their bathroom; I don't know. There were Wet Floor signs on dry floor all over the building when I was there a few weeks ago.  

I've done everything that I can not to be welfare-dependent. 

This is what social services are like, even when a client is not stigmatized by gender discrimination and abused by powerful people.    

Everybody in the world other than the people who have had their lives ruined by the mental health care system thinks that people who are labeled as mentally ill are the problem, but it's the system, and its systemic negligence and abuse of the clients, that are the problem.

Every school should also have a REAL sports program.  Growing up in Vermont, I took it for granted that every school I ever attended, from the rural to the suburban, and from elementary school through high school, had acres of playing fields.  Even my kindergarten had kids running all over the place outside.  Vermont doesn't have actual cities, so it wasn't until I had lived in Boston for a while that I realized how physically constricted people are, and how few schools can provide physical activity for their students.  

I don't want to date celebrities or people your age.

Don't support the conglomerate's agenda, and name your next album something else, and that'll be good enough.  You didn't know, and when so many people are wrong, it's difficult to know what to think.

President Trump is from one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world.

January 29, 2017

New York is not known, however, for its demure citizenry, which is perhaps a blessing and a curse.  

I'm sure that there are few minorities in the United States who do not have constituents to whom President Trump has spoken, whom he has known and liked and done business with during his life and career.  

If there were Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, or people of any other religious group who were traveling the world to murder innocent people, then that would have to be addressed.

There is no perfect way to approach unreasonable behavior.  

I think that hacking affected the election, but President Trump won the Republican nomination.  Whether that's because he was mostly independently funded and so was not splintered in many directions or because the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, is so dissolute after 7 years of moral corruption that it couldn't organize, I don't know.  Those of the public who supported then-candidate Trump at his rallies did not seem ambivalent.

Edward Snowden

January 28, 2017


You're not an ordinary person anymore.  There are millions of people who care about you and who would do what they could to help and protect you if you were jailed or facing execution.

You are not someone who has to go to work every day at ordinary employment, fearful that the train or bus around you is going to explode or that you could be shot, or that your spouse or child could die from terrorist violence.  Your role in the world has changed as a result of your heroism; most people have to continue to be unsung heroes who are courageous enough to be ordinary in a world full of fear.  I'm not even one of those people anymore; as imperiled as my life is, there are people who would object to my being murdered and there would be consequences for it additional to the consequences for the murder of a regular person.  

Most people don't have the time to protest, either.  The right to protest is essential to democracy, which is one of the reasons that it shouldn't be manipulated.  

I think that the Keystone protests are valid.  I'm not sure about many of the others that the media has provoked in the United States.  People are in a frenzy, but I know how vicious and distorted the media is every day about so many things.

It is an abuse of influence to enjoy having the ability to antagonize a president or other world leader.

It is a wonderful ideal for governments to support religious tolerance, but when there are people who are exploiting religion as an excuse for violence against innocent people, then you cannot allow them to exploit your democratic ideals.  

There are millions of peaceful Muslims, but it only takes one person who is not peaceful to kill people.  

I am glad that the ACLU and other organizations are taking steps that hopefully will eventually prevent the misapplication of orders and regulations by government personnel or other people who don't understand them or who abuse them.  Something has to be done; there is no excuse, after all these years, for the United States or other countries to continue to be devastated by terrorist attacks.  The process by which our country and other countries develop and implement counterterrorist tactics has to be accelerated, and discussion among all governments and organizations like the ACLU about how to optimize security with personal freedom is not unwarranted.  

Not one more shooting, not one more bombing, not one more maiming or murder.  That ought to be the goal.  

The peaceful Muslims will understand and will want to cooperate.  It is as devastating, if not more devastating, for them as for anyone that there are Muslims who are hurting people for no reason.  Partner them to stop terrorism.

Children

January 27, 2017

Children should not have to live in unstable places.  Maybe there could be some foster families for refugee children, and children could be prioritized above adults for emigration.  It seems like a lot of them need medical help. Technology will help them be in contact with their parents, older siblings and other relatives who, unfortunately, will also have to be vetted.  

It's not a good solution, but it's better than nothing.

Anti-Semitism, not fear of terrorism, kept Jews out of the United States before and during WW II.

January 27, 2017

We are not and never were a perfect country; we are a country that has striven and frequently failed to meet the ideals of democracy.  

I'm not saying that there's no anti-Muslim bigotry in the world; there's a lot of it.  Unfortunately, there are Muslims who have responded to that bigotry by murdering innocent people.  

It is wrenching that the failure of the West to support peaceful, democratic rebellion has displaced millions of innocent people.  I am not suggesting that Muslims be left to die or to suffer in inhumane conditions.  What I'm saying is that people who want to murder have no conscience about exploiting the tragedy of innocent Muslims; one murderous person who gets into the United States can, and has, killed Americans who are as innocent as the Muslim refugees who really need help.  

It's possible that a strict vetting process for immigrating to the United States could lead some nonMuslim Americans who would otherwise hate and fear every Muslim to feel safer around American Muslims and Muslim immigrants.  If people know that they can trust the process by which someone is granted residency, it might reduce antiMuslim discrimination.  

You cannot ignore that there are Muslim terrorists and Muslim armies who specifically identify their violence with Islam.  They are the ones who are distorting their religion, not peaceful Muslims and not nonMuslims who don't want to have to fear going to work, taking public transportation, attending public events, and sending their children to school.  

Should refugees be given all the humanitarian aid that the United States and every other country can give them?  Yes.

Would I turn away a million refugees to reduce the risk that one American will be shot to death?  Yes.

Can President Trump, everyone of his administration and every politician or government employee who speaks against abortion honestly say that they never had or contributed to a pregnancy that wasn't brought to term?

January 27, 2017

Inordinately restricting abortion hurts men, women and children.  Men who don't want to be fathers should not be able to force women to have abortions, but they should not be forced to have children that neither they nor the women whom they have accidentally impregnated want.  

Not every child who is born from an accidental pregnancy is unhappy, but many of them are.  There are few feelings in the world that are worse than those of being an unwanted child.  

Women have the right to have sex without being afraid that they'll be forced to have children.  I know that misogyny says that there's nothing that men are able to do that women ought to be able to do, but that's wrong.  

The decision about whether or not to have an abortion is agonizing enough for most people even when abortion is legal; there's no reason to make people fear for their own lives and the lives of people whom they love by making abortion illegal.  

Something that never seems to be discussed when anti-abortion activists talk is that making abortion illegal means that every time that a woman gets pregnant, she has to give birth or risk an illegal abortion.  It's not even as if she would have to give birth or risk an illegal abortion once, for one accidental pregnancy; every time that she had sex, she and her partner would have to fear pregnancy.

I don't think that eliminating women from the workplace by turning them into broodmares from adolescence to menopause is the way to address the difficulties of working parents.  

Women don't forget that they've had abortions.  They don't have them because they want them; they have them because abortion is a sad necessity.  Safe and legal abortion is an indispensable right if women aren't going to live hobbled lives of subjugation to their gender.

Women aren't the only victims of systemic failure to stop sexual abuse.

January 27, 2017




That's the address of a GQ article about sexual assault against men in the military.

This is the address for a Google search of the term "male victims of sexual assault feel ashamed":







Sexual assault is not about what you wore, what kind of person you are, what you said to someone.  It's about what people are socialized to think about sex, power, gender, and a lot of other things.

Men rape more often than women do because men have more physical strength, so when they are socialized to think that rape is a normal part of being a man, they are able to physically act on that idea more often than they would be able to if they weren't usually stronger.  That's a de facto result; if you socialize men and women both to think that raping someone is normal, more men will rape than women because men have the power to rape more often than women do.  

It's not about what the victims or the bystanders are being told to think; it's about what the perpetrators are being told to think.  That's the issue, and it's the issue that people want to address much less often than they want to avoid it.  That is the issue that needs to be confronted.  It's not "what did you do to make him think he could rape you," it's "why does he think that raping you was something he should do?"  People don't want to address that issue because it is part of the context of male power and to address it is to address what society thinks masculinity is.  

Not everyone is a rapist, obviously.  Not even every sexist man is a rapist.  Rape is an extreme form of a mindset.  

I also don't subscribe to the idea that rape is only about power and it's not about sex.  It's about power and sex; it's using sex as a weapon.  It's about the perpetrator displaying his or her sexuality as powerful and attacking the sexuality of the victim.  The perpetrator often wants the victim to feel shame, when it's the perpetrator who ought to feel shame for having raped.  

"You got what you deserved" is a common attitude from perpetrators and victim-blamers.

I think a male student was harassing me by coughing loudly and repetitively at the other end of the hall while I wrote this at my phone last night.  I think that a few other people coughed at me at school yesterday.  It's not rape, but it's bad.

The blame for it is being placed on me from every side.  The conglomerate has victim-blamed me for being abused by the voyeurism and even for being threatened by homelessness again for objecting to the voyeurism.  The property management, knowingly or not, has said that I have to leave because of my "false accusations" that illegal cameras are hidden in my apartment; someone who works at the building hid the illegal cameras in the apartment and has also lied to the property management about it to avoid being arrested and/or fired.  Nobody whom I have asked for help in person believes me; every support system has failed to stop my being criminally victimized and retaliated against for reporting it.  The police have not responded to my request that they investigate.

Why is there not enough work in Mexico?

January 25, 2017

This is a picture of part of an article:



This is the address of the article:




American news sources are talking about the potential border obstruction at the first pages of their websites; what they're not talking about is what about the Mexican economy is so bad that a lot of Mexicans want to work in the United States.

I am no expert; I have said that before.  My inclination is to say that a less expensive, and hopefully effective, approach would be to attempt to help Mexico rebuild or restructure its economy so that the United States can have a relationship with Mexico that is like the relationships between economically functional and mutually respectful European countries.  It's less difficult to help people want to stay where they're from than to keep them out or throw them out of somewhere else that they think they want to be.  

Also, if the Mexican economy is so bad that thousands of people want to work in the United States, how is Mexico going to pay for the border obstruction?  

If a lot of media sources spend the next year actively discussing what Mexico's problems are, perhaps a less controversial solution will emerge as a result of those discussions.  

There have to be Mexican economists who have something to say about this topic.  Why aren't they being interviewed by American media every day?  

What about all of the businesses that hire illegal, or even legal, immigrants to work like slaves?  If those businesses get disciplined for doing that, won't that help?  Somebody has to be hiring all of those people; if that stops, won't the Mexican government have to do something for Mexicans?

The lawyer at Greater Boston Legal Services does not believe that there are hidden, illegal cameras in my apartment.

January 25, 2017

She spent the entire meeting talking with me as if all of it is a delusion.  She has no way to know whether or not it's a delusion, which the conglomerate knows that it isn't; she has assumed that it is a delusion because I have a psychiatric history and because the media, government, corporations, and a lot of other people have spent almost a decade promoting voyeurism instead of condemning it, legislating against it and prosecuting it, so there is almost no awareness for anyone other than the American victims that it's an issue.  

I asked her to ask the police to search the apartment for the hidden, illegal cameras.  She told me that she didn't think that was something that police do.  I asked her to ask the police if it's something that they do; she said she would, but she was much more interested in being able to talk to a psychiatrist about whether or not I have a diagnosis and whether or not I'm taking medication than she was in asking the police to search the apartment.

The police have not answered my request that they search the apartment, which is why I think that I need someone whom the police will take seriously to ask them. 

If the police walk through the apartment without really investigating and they don't find the cameras because they don't look for them, and if they then tell my lawyer that there are no cameras in the apartment, and if they tell the property management that they didn't find cameras in the apartment, then I will be at the mercy of the property management, which has not proven to be merciful so far.

Is that what's going to happen?  Is the conglomerate, from the hidden and illegal cameras, going to watch and hear the police walk though my apartment and then watch and hear the police say that the police proved that there are no cameras in the apartment?

At least there will be audio and video of the police walking through my apartment, saying "There are no cameras in this apartment."  Someone will see it and someone will hear it; whether or not whoever sees and hears it cares is questionable.
