For crazy people convinced that secret government agents are stalking them with electromagnetic mind control devices, the invention of the internet was a great thing. It allowed them to form like-minded online communities of government mind control victims. It also made them even more convinced that their oppression was real, since they found so many other clinically insane people out there who told the same stories. The whole thing is actually very tragic! This far-flung group of paranoid psychosis-ridden conspiracy theorists bent on evading imaginary government spies has, however, found one staunch ally: a Republican elected official. Naturally:

And the users of some sites have found the support of Jim Guest, a Republican state representative in Missouri, who wrote last year to his fellow legislators calling for an investigation into the claims of those who say they are being tortured by mind control. “I’ve had enough calls, some from credible people — professors — being targeted by nonlethal weapons,” Mr. Guest said in a telephone interview, adding that nothing came of his request for a legislative investigation. “They become psychologically affected by it. They have trouble sleeping at night.” He added: “I believe there are people who have been targeted by this. With this equipment, you have to test it on somebody to see if it works.”

Why won't the government get out of Jim Guest's BRAIN? [NYT. There he is above pictured with Ron Paul! Naturally.]
