He was not politically involved in any way and was not an activist of any kind. He was an art student in love, planning a future. Glickman encountered some well dressed Americans in a cafe in Paris. After a discussion that resulted in a disagreement, Glickman agreed to a round of drinks as a peace offering. The man who purchased the round of drinks and served Glickman's drink to him turned out to be the notorious MK Ultra operative Sydney Gottlieb. Likely due to drugs placed in his drink, Glickman suffered intense hallucinations that that resulted in his being admitted to the psychiatric ward of a hospital where he was further subjected to more hallucinogens and electroshock treatments by CIA operatives. Stanley Glickman never recovered from the experiments and was dependent on his family to take care of him until his eventual death. Stanley Glickman's crime? Sydney Gottlieb wanted a guinea pig and Stanley Glickman was in the wrong cafe at the wrong time. Why am I talking about a victim of MK Ultra and the CIA's experiments when the topic was a heart attack gun? Because Stanley Glickman was tortured and murdered to satisfy the curiosity and ego of an operative of the state. And others assisted in this dreadful crime simply because they were told to do so.</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-61">1:01</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-61" data-t="61">Stanley Glickman was tortured because people were obedient and did their jobs. This is the nature of the people who now possess weapons that can both see through walls and kill you without leaving any trace of how it was accomplished.</span> <span class="cue" id="t-71" data-t="71">Stanley Glickman's engagement in a conversation and his opinion ran contrary to that of a CIA agent. The CIA agent possessed a weapon and used it on Stanley Glickman for the exact same reason a SWAT team uses a MRAP to serve a court summons for a parking violation, because children will play new games when given new toys. Demented children play demented games. Given the small set of examples listed here, and understanding that I could continue listing examples for thousands of pages, one must come to the conclusion that we are not struggling against people or are simply confused about freedom and rights. We are fighting evil in its pure form. We cannot play nice. We cannot expect to reason with these demented servants of the state any more than we can reason with those to whom governments of the world owe some $57,000,000,000,000</span></span></p> + +<p class="cue-p"><a class="cue-t" href="#t-110">1:50</a><span class="cue-body"><b class="cue-who">Richard Greaser</b> <span class="cue" id="t-110" data-t="110">CIA World Factbook. Our logic will not reach them. Our pleas mean nothing to them. Joining them and trying to use them to do our bidding will only make us like them. It is only once you view the reality of police and government servants as being an occupation army serving their political masters that their savagery begins to make sense. Once you begin to view the political establishment as nothing but puppets serving the international money masters, the whole beast begins to make sense.
