Psychological tactics of v2k harassment

Targeted individuals who experience voices, also known as “v2k” or “synthetic telepathy,” can clearly observe the use of psychological tactics by the perpetrators, carried out tirelessly and with skill, often in combination with each other.

Because psychiatrists consider the contents of these voices to be mere products of delusion or psychosis, they remain largely unreported - and as a result, the underlying tactics go unnoticed.

Analyzing them reveals not only that the perpetrators employ these methods to manipulate the target’s mental state, but also that there is a conscious external activity behind the TI experience. These tactics are consistently used even on people unfamiliar with terms like “neuro-linguistic programming” or “reverse psychology,” who often fail to recognize them despite daily exposure.

Whoever the perpetrators are, they appear to possess professional psychological training and significant expertise.

This report covers the second stage of v2k harassment - direct speech addressed to the target - during which the following tactics become especially apparent. The first stage is broader and serves different purposes, which will be discussed separately.

The goal of this report is to help targeted individuals recognize the variety of tactics used against them, often beyond their own awareness, and to draw the attention of the psychiatric community to the sophisticated psychological toolkit behind what they currently dismiss as mental dysfunction.

Each tactic listed below is not used in isolation but interwoven with others, applied contextually to guide and control the subject’s thoughts. Perpetrators - usually several acting together - often assume distinct roles and maintain them fairly consistently, though they can switch them at will to increase confusion.

Simple tactics

These are basic maneuvers - single words or short phrases delivered at precise moments to provoke an immediate reaction.

Affirmations / Encouragements

Short remarks commenting on the target’s actions or thoughts. The perpetrators express clear approval or disapproval, often in a confident tone to sound more convincing.

Positive examples:

• “Correct!” / “Fabulous!” / “Very well”
• “Of course” / “Exactly!”
• “Finally you understand”

Negative examples:

• “Error!” / “A huge mistake”
• “Fool” / “Crazy” / “Loser” / “Sucker”
• “I’m speechless” / “That’s messed up”
• “Shame on you”
• “Too late” / “Useless”

These phrases serve different purposes - mainly to reinforce or discourage the target regarding certain ideas or actions. Depending on the context and the subject’s mental state, negative affirmations may act as discouragements - for instance, when the TI is angry at the perpetrators and refuses to please them - and vice versa, when the operators appear displeased, the TI might feel reassured that he’s doing something right.

If the subject is not antagonized at the moment, affirmations are used to build rapport by flattering the target and giving a false impression of making progress toward ending the experience.

Bullying and Insults

These are used both to increase stress and to “reset” rapport by sobering the target, reminding him that expecting goodwill from the operators is pointless.

Examples:

• “What a dumb / sucker / simpleton you are”
• “Who would want you like this”
• “You’re an unwashed pig”
• “You’re ugly / fat / smelly”
• “You’re a headless chicken”
• “We bullied you so much” (feigned sympathy)
• “Oh, what have we done?” (mocking tone)
• “We’re just kidding” / “It was just a prank” / “We had fun”
• “You are our toy”

Directives

These are suggestions perceived by the target either as hints or as commands, and also as reactions from the operators. Their tone and intensity vary - from harsh and angry to pitiful or mocking - depending on the desired effect.

In extreme emotional states (antagonization or rapport), they are often perceived as direct commands and can provoke immediate, unthinking reactions.

Hard command examples (harsh tone):

• “Shut up” / “Shut your mouth”
• “Get out of there”
• “Die”
• “Use your brain”
• “Don’t piss me off”

Mild / suggestion examples:

• “Calm down” (in a soft, sympathetic tone)
• “Relax already”
• “Please forgive us”
• “Make a decision”

Victim Blaming

These phrases aim to make the target feel personally responsible for the entire experience, while portraying the operators as unwilling participants - the “real victims” forced to perform an unpleasant duty.

Examples:

• “You made a huge mistake” / “You ruined everything”
• “You cost us dearly”
• “You think we like it?”
• “You signed your own death warrant”
• “You shouldn’t have been stupid”
• “You shouldn’t have trusted us”
• “You forgot who you’re talking to”
• “Your head is messed up”
• “Look at yourself from the side”
• “If only you knew how tired we are of this”

Empathy

These phrases imitate sympathy and understanding toward the target’s situation, often assuring that the perpetrators are trying - or once tried - to help. This imitation of care can evoke reciprocal sympathy and help build rapport.

Examples:

• “Oh, how much we wanted to prevent this”
• “We used everything we had to help you”
• “We are so embarrassed”
• “We help you all the time”
• “We’ll definitely heal all your childhood traumas” / “We’ll help you”
• “If only we knew it would end up like this”
• “What fools we were”
• “You shouldn’t have done this to yourself”
• “Help us stop this”
• “It wasn’t fair to you”
• “You’re seriously unlucky”
• “We’ll apologize on our knees for this” / “We’ll kiss your ass”
• “We looked at your life with such horror”

Disinformation

False statements about various subjects, defaming the target’s family and acquaintances, or making “revelations” about the nature of the experience. This also includes empty threats and “red herrings” used to send the target on fruitless searches.

Such statements are often absurd and unverifiable, rarely truthful, yet in certain emotional states they are easily accepted at face value. The perpetrators’ apparent authority and the target’s search for meaning make them prone to believe these lies.

Negative disinformation drives the subject into renewed stress, hysteria, panic, and fear.

Positive disinformation can just as easily lift the subject into a euphoric state, as everything suddenly seems to make sense. This is often paired with “carrot dangling” - false promises of wealth or an imminent end to the torment, perhaps “tomorrow.” Such hope is soon crushed, deepening despair.

Both forms can be deflected by critical thinking, but the subject is often too exhausted to apply it. The more disinformation is accepted as truth, the worse the outcome. Dismissing all such statements remains the safest approach, as truth is rare in this experience.

Examples:

• “Your parents aren’t really yours.”
• “We’ll never leave you alone.” / “It’ll never stop.”
• “Your wife is cheating on you.”
• “We will never allow you to get rich.”
• “You won’t like what we have prepared for you.”
• “Prepare for the trouble.”
• “We agree to all your terms.”
• “We’ll fix it for you.”
• “You’ll understand everything tomorrow.”
• “It is your punishment.”
• “We’ll turn you into a terrorist (maniac, murderer, etc.).”

Provocation

A heightened form of disinformation, involving a more direct call to action.

Examples:

• “You have cameras everywhere in your house.” (the victim begins searching the home)
• “We will give you cancer.” / “We’ll irradiate you.” (the target looks for ways to shield themselves)
• “They are coming to arrest you now.” (the target destroys evidence, breaks devices, deletes accounts)
• “They’ll kill you.” / “You know who’s doing this.” (leads the target to suspect specific people, sometimes with tragic consequences)
• “Why don’t you try [some action].” (implied hint that this might end the experience)

Prefixes / Addressings

Introductory phrases or words used to grab the subject’s attention, especially when they try to ignore the operators.

Examples:

• Addressing by name or nickname, including those known only to close friends.
• “To be honest, …” (creates an impression of sincerity to establish rapport)
• “Listen to me carefully.” (often followed by disinformation, provocation, or meaningless talk)
• “You understand that…” / “You know that…” (similar effect)
• “We are finally beginning to understand…” (implies the operators have realized their mistakes)
• “We really felt …” (suggests empathy or compassion)

These phrases are also used as a kind of “autocomplete” technique, where the operators repeat what the subject expects to hear after vague or unfinished statements. In such moments, they appear to confirm any idea the target imagines-no matter how unrealistic. This fosters a false sense of revelation or insight, leading some TIs to cling for long periods to ideas founded only on guesses and the apparent validation of known deceivers.

Setups

Another form of provocation, where operators refer to third parties-groups, individuals, or public figures-to imply they are involved in decisions about the target or part of the harassment. When the target confronts these people, they are usually dismissed or humiliated, seen as delusional or mentally ill. This supposed “involvement” is pure fiction, deliberately hinted at to worsen the target’s situation.

Examples:

• “The Germans [Japanese, Russians, etc.] are shocked.”
• “John won’t like that.” (in response to the target’s thought or action)
• “The president told us to continue.”
• “Pete reports on you every day.”

Memory digging

The subject is often reminded of past regrets, failures, missed opportunities, or other emotionally charged moments. Even past achievements or successes can be brought up. These memories are used to lift or depress the subject, depending on whether the perpetrators act harshly or compassionately, evoking emotions such as shame, despair, hope, or pride.

This also adds distress by making the subject feel that their memories are exposed to the operators.

Questioning

Operators ask the subject various questions, and when the subject responds, they mock him, claiming they already know everything. This cycle repeats endlessly, often with the same questions, as long as the subject engages.

This is particularly frustrating because the questions seem to seek explanations for the harassment or ask the subject to justify himself. Hoping to make the perpetrators understand his suffering, the subject often keeps replying-only to be ridiculed.

Another technique is asking questions that the target is expected to answer to himself. These emotionally manipulative prompts often touch on matters beyond his control.

Examples:

• “Explain to us, please…”
• “How are you going to earn money now?”
• “How could you trust us?”

Complex tactics

These tactics combine several basic methods and involve multi-step execution. They can last for hours, days, or even throughout the entire duration of the TI’s experience.

Roller coaster

A highly exhausting and standard tactic designed to create a state resembling bipolar disorder. This is done by rapidly switching behavioral patterns. The target is first antagonized to the extreme, driven into despair and depression. At the peak of this state, a glimpse of hope is offered-a promise to end the torment or grant a reward-which lifts the target into a euphoric, inspired, almost manic state, sometimes even leading him to forgive his tormentors in anticipation of the reward.

When those promises prove false, anger and aggression follow, which then fade back into depression. This cycle can repeat several times a day, weaving together various other tactics described in this report.

Reverse psychology

This general behavioral strategy is one of the reasons the voices strive to appear as pure evil. It allows them to easily manipulate the subject into doing the opposite of what they claim to want-ultimately achieving their goal while the subject believes he is defying them.

Blockage

This tactic targets the TI’s ability to function-professionally, socially, or even sexually. It can be achieved through verbal harassment, constant irritation, distraction via sound, or even physical effects such as pain, temporary organ dysfunction, or sudden bowel movement, making any productive activity nearly impossible.

Polarization

Operators assume the roles of “good cops” and “bad cops.” The “bad” ones use aggressive and humiliating tactics, while the “good” ones act mild and even offer hints or words of encouragement. From time to time, they argue with the “bad” ones on behalf of the target, pretending to defend him and persuade the others to ease up. The “good cops” also complain to the target that they are powerless because of the bad ones.

Naturally, the target tends to form rapport with the “good” ones, even though they mocked him moments ago. The “good” side explains they are being forced, and the lonely target eagerly accepts any sign of sympathy-even from his tormentors.

Sometimes a scene is staged where the “good” operators pretend to break down emotionally from guilt or claim they are being punished for showing kindness, making the target genuinely feel sorry for them.

Meanwhile, the “bad” operators find it even easier to use reverse psychology-their exaggerated cruelty now stands in stark contrast, almost cartoonishly evil.

Examples (good cop):

• “Don’t listen to these villains!”
• “You shouldn’t have provoked them…”
• “I can’t do anything…”
• “I can’t lie to you anymore!”

Examples (bad cop):

• “You’re done.”
• “We like to torture you.”

Giveaway

A staged scenario designed to make the target believe he has some leverage over the perpetrators-perhaps through “accidentally leaked” information they supposedly want to keep secret, or through the dramatic pretense that he possesses psychic powers capable of harming or killing them.

Convinced that they finally have a way to retaliate, many targets hesitate, questioning whether they should stoop to the level of their tormentors. In one observed case, an individual spent months in a state of indecision while the perpetrators goaded him to use his “powers.”

The operators then pretend to be hurt, “screaming in agony” when the target attempts to act, only to mock him afterward when he realizes he was struggling and sweating in vain.

This tactic allows the target to vent some frustration but ultimately leads to humiliation and another cycle of emotional highs and lows.

In some cases, this culminates in media reports, police complaints, or court filings. Accompanied by fake pleas and threats from the operators, the target might file statements about being “irradiated by neighbors with microwaves,” acting out of false confidence-only to face further embarrassment afterward.

Deprivation

The continuous presence of operators who never let the target forget their watchful existence serves as a powerful tool of harassment. The inability to experience privacy, even briefly, is deeply distressing. Operators exploit the most intimate moments-showering, using the bathroom, or having sex-to make obscene remarks. Some targets become so affected that they stop or severely limit these activities.

Sometimes the operators feign leaving, promising not to watch or even muting themselves, only to interrupt at the worst possible moment, mocking every imperfection they observe.

Beyond humiliation, they deprive the target of sleep-keeping him awake with constant noise, taunts, or agitation. If he does fall asleep, they wake him abruptly with loud screams or sudden shocks. Though this intense phase of sleep deprivation rarely lasts more than a few weeks, even afterward the victim often struggles to rest properly.

Shaming extends to the target’s thoughts-both his own and those induced by the operators. The worst form of deprivation involves threats to share everything they have “seen” or “recorded” with acquaintances or strangers. Though these threats are empty, they feel convincing in the context of the experience, amplifying fear and anxiety. Often, the operators add that they will “edit the footage” to defame the target as a criminal, liar, or deviant.

Post-traumatic syndrome installation

A long period of terror exhausts the target and leaves deep scars on his personality. In the later stages, when harassment intensity subsides and the subject manages to distract himself for an hour or two, a single word from the operators’ list of triggers is enough to provoke a panic attack. Realizing his situation again after moments of peace causes a sharp fall from calm back into distress, shattering his psyche effortlessly.

Stockholm syndrome installation

Despite the violating and tormenting nature of the experience, prolonged coexistence with the voices makes one feel strangely special, chosen to be the focus of so much effort. The lost time and suffering become a kind of investment the TI never intended to make. When the perpetrators suddenly pretend to leave-lowering their voices, apologizing, claiming failure-the target may be shocked to realize he doesn’t want them gone. Not like this, not without closure and answers.

If the operators detect these feelings, they eagerly use them as justification to stay, telling the subject he has missed his chance to be free. Of course, leaving was never their real intention.

Delusion of grandeur installation

In trying to understand the motivation behind the torment, subjects often decide there must be something special about them-some hidden quality they were unaware of. The operators confirm these wild ideas, leaving targets convinced they are reincarnated celebrities, possess magical powers, or are simply too dangerous to be left free. In reality, considering the number of TIs, it’s clear such beliefs are illusions, and sooner or later the target realizes he’s been deceived again.

False cooperation

This tactic involves promising to leave the TI alone if he behaves or reacts in a certain way. They encourage the subject to commit to a line of action or thought, only to accuse him of “ruining it” when he inevitably fails. Then they urge him to “fix it,” while keeping their demands vague and contradictory. When the target finally realizes how blatantly he’s been played, the humiliation hits hard.

Summary

The tactics described appear to be designed to keep the target in a state of induced psychosis-causing distress and manipulating him into awkward or self-destructive situations until he learns to resist and ignore them. Paradoxically, this constant pressure trains the subject to become more resistant to manipulation and misinformation, to think more critically, and to react with greater emotional stability.

Understanding the tactics outlined in this report may help many TIs move closer to ending their experience. Readers are encouraged to share this material to raise awareness of the depth and reality of this phenomenon.
