Nerves, fingernails damaged from fighting sucker and eye spider demons

My hands are injured from a recent spate of attacks by sucker demons and eye spider demons, which lasted over three days this past weekend, mostly at night while in bed.

As a consequence of near-constant fighting, my fingernails have white-colored stress lines, which extend from their tips to the middle, from having been bent back while prying at these incredibly strong demonic entities; the pressure from the bending of my fingernails have caused tiny blood spots to appear underneath the fingernails, too:

My once well-kempt fingernails are now virtually destroyed by constant demon fighting

The damage can not only be felt, but seen, as well.

For example, the nerves in the first finger and thumb are almost completely number from having pinched both types of demons until their cloaks collapsed and bodies explode in a dim flash of red or yellow light (a video of a leg of an eye spider demon, pinched between my fingers, can he seen in Eye Spider Demon, Flailing Leg).

And, two nights ago, the top of my left first finger turned a yellowish-green color, and felt extremely cold and numb. This reoccurs every time the weather is chilly, especially at night. The top layer of skin on both thumbs and first fingers is number, although there is still some sensation beneath the surface.

Sucker demons and eye spider demons are not only lighting fast, but can evade capture by sinking into your skin:
An eye spider demon traveling beneath the skin makes a sick-sounding noise
They can also evade your sight by becoming virtually invisible, as shown in Sucker Demon Slinks Down Back of Neck on Vimeo.

Also, touching one for too long results in extreme pain from either heat or electric shock.

ESPAÑOL | Demonios ardientes con el fuego

One method of exposing a demon's cloak, and determining some of the physical properties of both the cloak and the demon themselves, is with a can of hairspray and a lighter.

Un método de exponer la capa de un demonio, y de determinar algunas de las propiedades físicas de la capa y del demonio ellos mismos, está con una poder de la laca y de un encendedor.
A stream of fire abruptly stops in a hard line as soon as it hits the demon cloak,
revealing the demon's position for the camera

Una secuencia del fuego para precipitadamente en una línea dura tan pronto como golpee la capa del demonio,
así revelando la posición del demonio para la cámara
This technique was first employed during the demon attack that occurred on March 13th, 2012, just before 8 a.m., in which seven large red-faced, devilish looking demons rose from my apartment floor, and charged me while I was just waking up.

Esta técnica primero fue empleada durante el ataque del demonio que ocurrió el 13 de marzo de 2012, momentos antes de 8 mañanas, en que siete demonios de mirada rojo-hechos frente, diabólicos grandes subieron de mi, y cargado me mientras que acabo de despertar.

The faces of two of the red-faced demons can be seen on Vimeo:

Las caras de dos de los demonios rojo-hechos frente se pueden ver en Vimeo:

The faces in these videos, however, are difficult to view, at best, due to lighting conditions and the nature of a demon cloak (it's very faint); and, that's where the hairspray and lighter come in.

Las caras en estos vídeos, sin embargo, son difíciles ver, en el mejor de los casos, debido a las condiciones de iluminación y la naturaleza de una capa del demonio (es muy débil); y, aquí es adonde vienen la laca y el encendedor adentro.

By spraying a stream of fire directly onto a cloaked demon, it will be exposed for a camera when it hits the cloak.

Rociando una secuencia del fuego directamente sobre un demonio disimulado, será expuesto para una cámara cuando golpea la capa.

The first time, before the demon has had time to adapt, it will wrap around the shape of his body, or, in this case, his face:

La primera vez que, antes de que el demonio haya tenido tiempo para adaptarse, envolverá alrededor de la dimensión de una variable de su cuerpo, o, en este caso, de su cara:
The lips, part of the nose, and the chin and cheeks are revealed in flames, as this demon descends into the floor

Los labios, la parte de la nariz, y la barbilla y las mejillas se revelan en llamas, pues este demonio desciende en el suelo
TIP | For those endeavoring on such a scientific mission: the hotter the fire, the more physical properties revealed. Opt for old formulas of hairspray, which have plenty of alcohol.
TIP | Para ésos que se esfuerzan en una misión tan científica: cuanto más caliente es el fuego, más físicas las propiedades reveladoras. Opte por las viejas fórmulas de la laca, que tienen un montón de alcohol. 
After the demon adapts, the flame, when it hits them will stop abruptly in a hard line when viewing the profile, as shown in the picture above, and in the picture below:

Después de que el demonio se adapte, la llama, cuando los golpea parará precipitadamente en una línea dura al ver el perfil, tal y como se muestra en del cuadro arriba, y en el cuadro abajo:
The flame looks normal when it is not impeded by the presence of a demon...
La llama parece normal cuando no es impedida por la presencia de un demonio…		...but, the flame abruptly stops when it hits a demon
… pero, la llama para precipitadamente cuando golpea a un demonio
You will also know when a demon adapts by the absence of sparks and blue-colored flame, which occur when the flame comes in contact with their skin.

Usted también sabrá cuándo un demonio se adapta por la ausencia de chispas y de llama azul-coloreada, que ocurren cuando la llama entra en contacto con su piel.
NOTE | The fact that the fire sparks and blue flames occurs when fire comes into contact with a demon narrows the possibilities of what a demon is made of when in physical form.
NOTA | El hecho de que el fuego chispee y las llamas azules ocurre cuando el fuego entra en el contacto con los estrechos de un demonio las posibilidades de un qué demonio se hace cuando en forma física.
What was also discovered about fire and demons: they are susceptible to fire when in physical form; but, not for long. If you are going to burn them away, you have to act before they adapt, and with the hottest fire you can find.

Qué también fue descubierta sobre el fuego y los demonios: son susceptibles encender cuando en forma física; pero, no para de largo. Si usted va a quemarlos ausentes, usted tiene que actuar antes de que se adapten, y con el fuego más caliente usted puede encontrar.

HOME | Locked out by new roommate five times in two days

My new roommate, apparently still unhappy about his encounter with police three days ago, following his obscenity-laced tirade over a locked front door, locked me out three times yesterday and once yesterday (read Demonic plan to oust me from new apartment backfires on roommate) for more about his near-arrest by police).
The chain lock was busted by my roommate when he kicked the door open last Saturday night
He did this by locking the deadbolt, knowing as many as four days ago that the key he gave me for it doesn't work. According to the landlord, who I called for assistance once I discovered this fact, my roommate hasn't given him a key to any of the locks at all since changing them.
Without a working key or the landlord's spare one, I had to spider-crawl up and over our decrepit patio fence, and then slink through the open patio door the first time.

The second time, he locked the patio door, so I had to trudge through the foliage planted alongside the building to reach my bedroom window, tear a hole in its screen, and then crawl through it.
For some reason, that was harder, but less dangerous. The other two times, I crawled through the window, as well.
On the fifth time, I beat the front door with my fist about five times. Apparently, it was loud enough to rouse a neighbor around the corner, get noticed by the Voices demons, who talked about it for an hour afterwards, and, luckily, my roommate, who had ignored my door knocks and phone calls all previous times.
During this, I was pretty surprised to learn how easy it is to break into my apartment. If it weren't for the horde of demons' constant presence and occupation of the place, I'd worry about burglars.

READER | Is it too late to save yourself?

From Jacqueline Hargis, a reader from Facebook, who wanted to know why I record demons (to warn and educate others), and if I thought it was too late for me, since her message to me was in response to the movies in which I display some of the physical qualities of a demon. I guess she assumed I was turning into a demon.
In my answer, I certainly take it that way, but also lean towards answering unasked questions, like, "Is it too late to save my life (yes, it is)?" or "Is it too late to save my soul (no, it is not)?"
The following movies are the subject of this discussion:
  • Two of Me, in which I morph into an older version of me, and then back again, right in front of the camera;
  • Demon in the Dark, in which the specter of a demon's face encompasses mine, growls something at another, unseen demon, and then disappears, leaving me unaware that anything like that had transpired; and,
  • Thing, in which my hand flys off my arm in order to grab my cellphone from the floor, seconds before some other creature, who you can see moving very quickly underneath my bedspread, gets to it.
Her questions are the most intelligent and important ones I've received so far, aside from the much-anticipated—but, yet to be received—questions I expect from people I already know, such as, "Are you okay?" and "How can I help?"
Jacqueline Hargis' belief in things demonic was affirmed by seeing demons on video

You have some very interesting videos. What got you into video taping these creatures? How did you become interested in all this? I truly believe in demons, and I KNOW they are real!

James Bush
April 11th, 2012
Quick answers to your questions:
I'm not into making the videos; I just needed proof of some of what was happening to me. I am interested in my blog, though, which allows me to tell more of the story than I can with my little videos.
The blog is at http://demonicactivity.blogspot.com[But], I am primarily interested only in God and Jesus; but, since I'm trapped in a situation where there's lots of demons—well, "when in Rome..."
It's good that you believe in demons because they definitely believe in you (but, not in a good way).
My videos should not only strengthen that belief, but the belief that there is an Almighty God, who has a Son who died for us, and will return for us someday for those who believe.
This is so important, especially given the things I've seen. I have literally stood at the mouth of Hell, so let me tell you, you really don't want to do anything with your life but consider God at all times.
I say this based on that experience alone. I remember thinking, as I stood there, my beliefs I could state, but deep down I question them now that I am about to be thrown into Destruction for an eternity.
That's when I regretted not affirming my faith by practice [Matthew 25:31-46], reading [Romans 10:17] and regular fellowship [Hebrews 10:25] over my lifetime. If I had done that, my beliefs would not have been questioned, and I would have known whether I belonged to Heaven or not.
Don't make that mistake, when it's too late to change.

Do you believe it's too late for you?

James Bush
April 11th, 2012
Never. Not until that Day [of Judgment].
After all, I have the Holy Spirit available to me just like anyone else. You can't make a human a demon.
Demons have physical qualities, and they know their own biology, as well as ours. It stands to reason that, in their war against Heaven, they would manipulate that [as they apparently have in my case] in order to gain an edge in their agenda to deprive God of souls.
[But, even in spite of the changes to my physical body], I've given Jesus [my soul]; and, if I believe [in Him], He will [keep it safe]. So, whatever portions of my flesh have been taken, destroyed, altered, or added, my soul belongs to God. [verse about fearing God not man]
Fortunately, these signs [of demonic morphing] don't exhibit themselves often; in fact, I've only noticed a couple of odd things about me since, and they are innocuous to other people.
But, I have also noticed that they run counter to demons; so, maybe these "abilities" are not of their design.
I know that they have frequent run-ins with people-like entities, who have normal faces and bodies—albeit blurry—but are much shorter, and wear white robes (versus the traditional black cloaks so popular among the demon crowd). Maybe I belong to them(?).

While I sat at McDonald's down the street from my new apartment writing this post, a voices demon asked me:
"Uh, do you know how many people think you're really into this shit because of how much effort you put into your blog?"
The implication being, of course, that people perceive, and are bothered by the perception, that I enjoy this problem, and am working hard to make the most of it, as if it were some kind of golden opportunity—this, from the very demons who manipulated people, circumstances, and my very mind and body with powers untold in order to make me think, for a very long time, several times, that I was dead, and was destined for Hell (they can do that, believe it); and, this from the demons whose violent acts against me compelled me to finally come out publicly about their role in my "inevitable demise."

I would say that, even though I know better than that now, that such an experience had a powerful effect; but, my efforts on this blog are simply a reaction to that experience. And, now that there is some distance between now and those hellish experiences, I would like to evolve it into a way to warn others from the consequences of demonic influence.

Cloak-penetrating filtering technique exposes hidden Spectre of Death in re-released video

In this re-released video, the Spectre of Death stands in the entryway of my former apartment, cloaked, while speaking to a more fully cloaked demon in front of him. As the camera moves closer to the Spectre of Death, his cloak appears to improve, making him less visible; however, this is probably due to the nature of the demon cloak, which is easier to visually detect farther away, rather than closer.


The first frame of the movie reveals a demon face blending (or camouflaged) with the wall. Play the movie frame-by-frame to see it more closely. There are actually two faces overlapping each other on the wall; but, one is much more obvious than the other. (When demons camouflage, they usually blend (or overlap) together, as well as with the object they are blending with).
A demon's face, blended with a wall, appears in the first few frames of the video

In order to better make the distinction between the shadows and the actual Spectre of Death, I used a custom post-processing technique, which involves blending multiple Quicktime video layers together, each with a specific graphics mode applied (see Blending Quicktime video layers to penetrate demon cloaks to learn how this technique is applied). In the video, I positioned a copy of the video processed with this technique side-by-side with the original. Insodoing, you can clearly see that the Spectre of Death is not just a shadow's trick on the eyes, nor is it the product of one's imagination.
 A side-by-side comparison for proof that the shadow is actually a cloaked demon
There is also the fact that his mouth is moving in a portion of the video, although it is blurry, as are all moving mouths of cloaked demons (see Video shows 'blanket demon' blending face with bedspread for more about the blurriness of moving mouths in demonic activity videos; see also Invisible demons detectable by radiation emission for the reason behind the blurry appearance of demons in general in video). Still, in the source video, it is clear enough.
NOTE | The difference between the source video and the video once it has been uploaded to a media sharing web site is usually the difference between night and day. Services such as Vimeo, YouTube, Google+ and Facebook compress uploaded video, which diminishes the quality greatly, particularly in videos where the quality is not good to begin with. That applies here, as all my video is either shot on my laptop's face cam or on my cheap cellphone. And, since demons don't pose under camera lights very often, most of my videos are shot in the dark, which doubles the bad quality of the video.

Stephen Galante
Stephen Galante
Listen, I wouldn't fool around with the possible activity going on in your apartment. I would contact a legitimate investigations team in your area. I'm sure there are a number of them; [so], let them come in to investigate. You may need to clear that area of possible negative entities. If you need to contact us further or [need] help finding a group, visit our web site. For our team, contact us at:

Mad as Hell: Demon-induced trauma likely to blame for PTSD

Absent any pre-existing psychological conditions, combined with the fact that trauma is known to occur in conjunction with paranormal experiences, it may be safe to say that the sole contributing factor to my recent diagnosis of PTSD can be contributed to my numerous encounters with the agents of the anti-Christ, which coincide perfectly with said diagnosis.

While I admit that standing at the mouth of Hell a couple of times was stressful, I was still reluctant to accept this diagnosis without evaluating some of the research on how paranormal encounters and trauma relate, specifically.

Believe it or not, there exists such research on Bullyonline.org, which has this to say on the subject:

Trauma and the paranormal

"The purpose of trauma is to help us find, and then achieve, our purpose in life"
(Tim Field) 
Trauma and paranormal experiences often go hand in hand, with one triggering the other. Abduction or a close encounter will often result in trauma, whilst trauma from a mundane terrestrial cause (eg accident, violence, bullying and harassment) often leads to paranormal experiences such as precognition, telepathy and sometimes a UFO experience. 
The collective symptoms of trauma often add up to Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a natural emotional reaction to a deeply shocking and disturbing experience. Almost anybody can suffer PTSD although it appears that those most likely to experience trauma are people who are sensitive, empathic, caring, honest, trustworthy, imaginative, artistic and creative. PTSD is a real condition, not imagined; PTSD is a psychiatric injury, not a mental illness. The differences between mental illness and psychiatric injury are listed at the bottom of my PTSD page. 
Experiencing paranormal activity as a result of trauma (particularly if you've not had paranormal experiences before) may initially increase the trauma, especially if denial escalates. Those who already perceive your psychiatric injury as a mental illness are likely to take your disclosure of paranormal activity as confirmation that you really are on your way to the funny farm. 
The causes of trauma have three things in common:
  • an external cause - you cannot traumatize yourself, something or someone has to do it to you (this factor is important in cases of negligence and personal injury); suddenness or unexpectedness are key components
  • violation - your body and/or mind are violated by an unexpected and unwelcome intrusion; with many forms of trauma the violation is of a sexual nature (eg harassment, rape, a violent partner, sexual abuse, abduction, etc)
  • loss of control - the experience is unexpected, overwhelming and beyond your control (and would be beyond the control of most people)
The effects of trauma are surprisingly commonplace, and many people suffering "stress" (from whatever cause - including the workplace) will find they are experiencing some (probably most) of the symptoms of trauma. These include:
  • bewilderment and confusion, an inability to understand what is happening or why it happened
  • a strong sense of denial, an inability to convince yourself that the experience was real; your denial is reinforced by the denial of those around you and especially of people in authority
  • irritability, short-temperedness, sudden intense anger and occasional violent outbursts
  • hyperawareness, an acute sense of time passing, the seasons changing, distances when travelling
  • an enhanced environmental awareness, a greater respect for the natural world, a feeling of "wanting to save the planet"
  • hypervigilance, which feels like but is not paranoia, and which may be (sometimes deliberately) mislabelled as paranoia by those around you
  • sleep problems including nightmares and waking early
  • flashbacks and replays which you are unable to switch off
  • impaired memory, forgetfulness, memory which is intermittent, especially of day-to-day trivial things
  • inability to concentrate
  • exaggerated startle response
  • panic attacks, feelings of nervousness and anxiety, excessive sweating, trembling, palpitations
  • hypersensitivity - almost every action or remark is perceived as critical or threatening, even when you know it isn't
  • a deep sense of betrayal
  • obsessiveness - the experience takes over your life, you can't get it out of your mind
  • joint and muscle pains with no obvious cause
  • depression (reactive, not endogenous)
  • excessive shame, embarrassment and guilt
  • undue fear
  • low self-esteem and low self-confidence
  • a deep sense of unworthiness, undeservingness and and non-entitlement
  • physical numbness, especially in fingers, toes and lips
  • emotional numbness, anhedonia, an inability to feel love or joy
  • detachment, avoidance of anything that reminds you of the experience
  • physical and mental paralysis at any reminder of the experience
One of the most common causes of trauma is bullying, which includes all forms of psychological violence, harassment and emotional abuse. My experience and research suggests that at least half the population are bullied (click here to identify the bullying in your life), either at work or at school, or by a partner or family member, or by people in authority, or by neighbours. Bullying causes prolonged negative stress which ultimately results in trauma. For more information on how stress causes ill health, see the injury to health page. For more information on the effects of trauma, including the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for PTSD, see the PTSD page. 
Interest in the paranormal and extraterrestrials has grown steadily over the last two decades. Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET - The Extraterrestrial have become classics. Chris Carter's long-running series X-files starring FBI agents Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully and David Duchovny as Fox Mulder has enthralled a new generation - as well as older generations. Star Trek (Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise) and Stargate have made travel to distant planets and contact with alien races a part of normal everyday life. Ray Santilli's Alien Autopsy created enormous interest although its authenticity is in doubt. Maybe it doesn't matter whether the alien autopsy is genuine - perhaps the purpose is to raise awareness, educate and prepare so that a forthcoming revelation will not panic the planet. 
The US government continues to sequester land around Groom Lake air base in Area 51 in Nevada. Stories of captured flying saucers abound, with the possibility that the stealth program uses reverse-engineered UFO technology. The rumor of Roswell refuses to go away. It's likely that the B-2 stealth plane's successor (often referred to as Aurora) is already operational, and may have been since 1991. It's also likely that the the successor to Aurora is also flying. 
It's estimated that as many as 2 million Americans believe they have experienced an alien abduction. The pioneering work of Dr John E Mack (Abduction: human encounters with aliens, Simon & Schuster, 1994, ISBN 0-671-85194-2) and Whitley Strieber (Communion, Transformation et al) has opened our eye to the possibility that the physical world which dominates our lives may be only a part of our existence. Gifted individuals may, knowingly or unknowingly, be part of a greater plan which our denial mechanisms have hitherto prevented us perceiving. John Mack's book challenges our earth-bound paradigms of normality (that our three-dimensional world view is all that there is). Whether you're interested in the UFO phenomenon or not, his book offers an excellent study of trauma and its consequences for the individual. 
An academic study of how people come to terms with and recover from trauma with special emphasis on subsequent spiritual growth and development is contained in Trauma and transformation: growing in the aftermath of suffering (Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun, Sage, 1996). 
Bully OnLine identifies bullying as a common form of psychological violence which is a major cause of stress and trauma; bullying is also identified as the underlying behaviour of harassment, discrimination, prejudice, abuse, conflict and violence, as well as the current limiting factor for human evolution.

GANG-STALKING | Night of the Gun Chase

Night of the Gun Chase (unfinished) is a preview of an upcoming series of posts that describe ways demons have used humans to carry out their nefarious agenda, which, in this case, was to murder me by gunshot; specifically, it depicts some of the events that transpired on the night of March 29th, 2006, at my first home in Sunnyvale, California, and where a demon-led attempt on my life was made by two individuals, with the acquiescence of crooked cops, and with the foreknowledge of family, former friends, and many others.
Night of the Gun Chase is viewable at six locations
This movie was made in 2007, and is part of an abandoned attempt to combine elements of recorded audio, official documents, eyewitness accounts and personal experience into a single, coherent story:

The reason why this could not be done at that time is only just now obvious: I did not yet know what was behind the avalanche of surreal and insurmountable problems that kept cropping up in my life for the first time ever. Every new piece of information begged at least half a dozen new questions. Overwhelmed, and strapped for resources, I gave up.

But now that I can definitively point the finger in the right direction, I intend to revisit the past, answering any leftover questions with my new knowledge, a fraction of which is posted on this blog.

And, it is on this blog that I will try to do this; so, for as long as it takes, I will provide a history of events, which started in February 2006 to until August 2006, and pertain to the demon-inspired gangstalkers, so that readers will have the requisite background in order to fully understand the nature and reason behind the demon attacks that are occurring now, and to otherwise make more clear the motivations of the persons and demons involved in my life and the lives of others.

Following is the Night of the Gun Chase PDF, which includes commentary at the beginning that clearly indicates that I did not yet know the extent of what was going on. So, as you read this, realize that I knew nothing of what I know now—that demons were involved.
It corresponds to an unfinished podcast episode—the pilot, actually—which talks about an attempt on my life. The entire story is best read in the PDF; it contains documentation to support the claims I make in the narrative.

Neither the podcast or the PDF tell the whole story; it would be too unbelievable at this point, especially without key pieces of video surveillance footage and eyewitness testimony, which are missing, but are things I hope to acquire during the discovery phase of the related federal civil lawsuit.

TIP | Blending Quicktime video layers to improve nightime videos

In my last video filter-processing tip, Blending Quicktime Video Layers to Penetrate Demon Cloaks, I provided a Quicktime video layer blending combination that will expose hidden and hard-to-see demons shot on video in darkly lit environments; however, the caveat is a loss of original color, in that any two colors that are similar have to be drastically changed in order to better distinguish between the two.
For example, 10% gray and 11% gray, which are virtually indistinguishable from each other, must be changed at least by 10% to be distinguishable, resulting in a wild-colored video. This is fine, if you're looking for otherwise impossible to see demons; but, if not, retaining the natural color of the video is far preferable.

The still frame below is a perfect example of an over-dark, over-saturated video. In the background, there is very little detail—the shelves on the cabinets blend together; the only distinction among them is there distance from each other. Also, my lips are way too red, and there is a color blotch on my cheek and lower eyelid; moreover, my skin is a blotchy and pinkish, and my lips are ruby-red.
Oversaturated in some places, shadow bleeding in others
Overly dark areas in a video are not just caused by dimly lit environments, but also over saturation, which is common is cheaper digital video cameras. To correct both, that is, to expose detail in dark areas of your video and correct the over-saturation, duplicate the video layer of your Quicktime move four times (for a total of 5 layers), and set the Graphics Mode to the following values:
Adjust only the blend layers (3 and 5) to reach the optimal contrast and saturation levels; set all others (1, 2, 4) as shown
Then, make adjustments to only layers 3 and 5—the blend layers—until you can see detail in the shadows, just like in the still frame below.
The change is subtle, but look closely at the following:
  • The objects in the shadows are sharper (look at the lampstand)

Before
After
  • The leaves are the correct color and so are the shadows; there is also more detail

Before
After

  • The lips and face are now a more natural color, and the splotchiness is reduced greatly

Transfer Modes
The term transfer mode may be considered as a generic term encompassing three different transfer mode types. Each has to do with the way source pixels interact with destination pixels during drawing, painting, erasing, filling, and copying operations. The three types of transfer mode are as follows:
  • Boolean Pattern Mode. Boolean pattern modes apply to line drawing, framing, painting, erasing, and filling operations. 
  • Boolean Source Mode. Boolean source modes apply to text drawing and copying operations. 
  • Arithmetic Source Mode. Arithmetic source modes apply to drawing (including text drawing), painting, and copying operations.


Boolean Source Modes
The Boolean source modes are the equivalent in text drawing and copying to the Boolean pattern mode used for non-text drawing, painting, filling, and erasing operations.
The relevant constants are srcCopy, srcOr, srcXor, srcBic, notSrcCopy, notSrcOr, notSrcXor, and notSrcBic. The additional non-standard mode grayishTextOr is useful for drawing text in deactivated or disabled user interface objects. (This mode is considered non-standard because it is not stored in pictures and printing with it is undefined.)
srcCopy
If the source is black, apply the foreground color to the destination; if the source is white, apply the background color; otherwise apply weighted portions of the foreground and background colors.
srcOr
If the source is black, apply the foreground color to the destination; if the source is white, do nothing; otherwise apply weighted portions of the foreground color.
srcXor
If the source is black, invert the destination (this operation is undefined for a colored destination). Otherwise, do nothing.
srcBic
If the source is black, apply the background color to the destination. If the source is white, do nothing. Otherwise, apply weighted portions of the background color.
notSrcCopy
If the source is white, apply the foreground color to the destination; if the source is black, apply the background color; otherwise apply weighted portions of the foreground and background colors.
notSrcOr
If the source is white, apply the foreground color to the destination; if the source is black, do nothing; otherwise apply weighted portions of the foreground color.
notSrcXor
If the source is white, invert the destination (this operation is undefined for a colored destination pixel). Otherwise, do nothing.
notSrcBic
If the source is white, apply the background color to the destination. If the source is black, do nothing. Otherwise, apply weighted portions of the background color.
Boolean Pattern Modes
Pattern modes may be set as pen transfer modes in the graphics port using the PenMode function. The modes are represented by eight constants, each of which relates to a specific Boolean operation (COPY, OR, XOR, and BIC (for bit clear)) and their inverse variants.
The effects of these modes are best explained assuming a 1-bit (black-and-white) environment in which the foreground colour is black and the background colour is white. The following lists the pattern modes and describes the effect of source pixels on destination pixels in such an environment.
Pattern Mode
Action On Destination Pixel
If source pixel is black
If source pixel is white

These effects are illustrated at Fig 4. Note particularly that patCopy causes the destination pixels to be completely over-written. patCopy is the transfer mode initially set in the graphics port.

Text dimming
grayishTextOr
Dim the destination. If in color, replace it with a blend of the foreground and background; if black-and-white, replace it with dithered black and white. This mode is used primarily for text.

Replace the background color with the highlight color.
hilitetransfermode
Replace the background color with the highlight color.

Arithmetic Source Modes
Arithmetic source modes may be set in the graphics port, and may be passed as parameters in QuickDraw functions for copying pixel images.
Arithmetic source modes perform arithmetic operations on the values of the red, green and blue components of the source and destination pixels. Because they work with RGB colours rather than colour table indexes, arithmetic transfer modes produce predictable results on indexed devices. The arithmetic source modes and their effects in a colour environment are as follows:

Constant
Value
Description
blend
32
Destination pixel is replaced with a blend of the source and destination pixel colours. Revert to srcCopy mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.
addPin
33
Destination pixel is replaced with the sum of the source and destination pixel colours up to a maximum allowable value. Revert to srcBic mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.
addOver
34
Destination pixel is replaced with the sum of the source and destination pixel colours, but if the value of the red, green or blue component exceeds 65,536, then subtract 65,536 from that value. Revert to srcXor mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.
subPin
35
Destination pixel is replaced with the difference of the source and destination pixel colours, but not less than a minimum allowable value. Revert to srcOr mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.
transparent
36
Source and destination pixel are replaced with the source pixel if the source pixel is not equal to the background colour.
addMax
37
Destination pixel is replaced with the colour containing the greater saturation of each of the RGB components of the source and destination pixels. Revert to srcBic mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.
subOver
38
Destination pixel is replaced with the difference of the source and destination pixel colours, but if the value of the red, green or blue is less than 0, add the negative result to 65,536. Revert to srcXor mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.
adMin
39
Destination pixel is replaced with the colour containing the lesser saturation of each of the RGB components of the source and destination pixels. Revert to srcOr mode if the destination is a bitmap or 1-bit pixel image.

Add Dithering to Transfer Modes
ditherCopy
Replace the destination with a dither mix of the source and destination.

Transparent mode
transparent
Replace the destination with the source if the source is not equal to the background.

HOME | Demonic plan to oust me from new apartment backfires on roommate

The Voices Demons have railed against the fact that I have a roof over my head, and am in loving possession of my cat, Scratchen.

It has been their oft-stated goal to render me homeless, at all costs; and, last night, was their latest attempt to oust me by police intervention. The story, as posted on Google+:
A crazed Victor Salazar, my new--but soon-to-be former--roommate, burst through our chain-locked front door tonight in a fury of explitives, as if the demons plaguing every corner of the house weren't enough.
His excuse: he doesn't like the front door to be locked. He said that it was immature of me to use it, and that no one is going to rob us. 
As his tirade continued, which consisted of more ranting, further raving, and the occasional lunge preceded by a fighting stance, I called the cops. 
Long story short: the cops make him leave the apartment for the night, and the landlord, who mysteriously shows up out of nowhere, asks me to leave permanently. 
As that was the plan anyway, I'm happy to oblige.
There's definitely more to this story; but, for the first time since all of this began, I'm going to move on without investigating things.
The hitch in their plan to rile me up and then call the cops is, happened when I stayed calm and called 911 first, just as I was taught by an anger management instructor, who is quite aware of the demon problem in San Jose, and is therefore privy to their tactics; basically, I didn't react in any way negative, as the demons and others had hoped, and which could have resulted in my arrest, but, instead, when my roommate burst through the door, busting the chain lock in the process, yelling expletives, throwing things and charging at me as if he was going to hit me (I could tell he was working up the nerve).

The chain lock was destroyed when my roommate suddenly
(and inexplicably) kicked our front door open last night
Instead, I stayed as calm as I could, and I simply asked the Santa Clara Police Department to escort him from the premises for the night (versus filing charges, since that is a despicable act, considering that the demonic agenda is intertwined with the penal system in this area).

Still, even while dodging one bullet, I was hit by another: the landlord, who mysteriously and inexplicably appeared while the police were at my apartment, asked me to move out as soon as possible, which was nothing more than what he had planned to do before I even moved in, per the Voices Demons.

NOTE | A scheme to generate a list of incidences that can be used to disparage character has been at work for some time, and is intended for use as a defense against my lawsuits, as well a use in future criminal proceedings. The landlord's request immediately follows the eviction from my last apartment, which was not only unlawful, but unwarranted (an appeal has been filed, and a judicial council review for misconduct is planned).
