Attenuation of the Taint 

1. An enhanced interrogation technique, notoriously employed at the abu-Ghraib prison, involving the pulling of the scrotum and anal cavity in opposite directions, with the goal of inflicting pain to a suspect's crotch region. Unlike with typical torture methods, any information obtained through this practice will be admissible in a criminal proceeding, as it is as an exception to the "fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine".

2. A long-term medical condition, typically caused by successful subjection to such a technique.

For determining attenuation of the taint, see People v. Thomas (1980) 112 Cal.App.3d 980, 986 (observing that “what constitutes ‘exploitation’ on the one hand and what fact or facts will lead a court to say that the taint has become attenuated, cannot be determined by pressing a button: the answer depends on reason and precedent.”)

Nerve Attenuation Syndrome 

Nerve Attenuation Syndrome or N.A.S. describes the effects of an engineered attack upon the minds of the populace by a control system.

The system uses a command voice to infiltrate the organic collective consciousness and convince individuals to give over their decision making process to an engineered set of memes that build up over time and act as a literal form of brain washing to reprogram human behavior.

The command voice is most likely delivered through more than one method. Likely candidates of delivery are an international microwave network distributed via something like cell towers or electric power grid nodes that can induce a 'voice to skull' effect on a populace.

Likely candidates for targeting and removal are anti-corporate individuals, scientists/atheists, and general creative thought/artists, positive/confident intellectuals, and government workers/supporters.

The signal is designed to train people to actually give up control of their nervous system and thinking by instilling a mistrust of their own observations and opinions through harassment, negativity, isolation, and intimidation.

This phrase was first coined in the 1981 short story "Johnny Mnemonic" by William Gibson.

synonyms: headache, nerve racking, ADD, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychosis, divine intervention, demon possession, sleep paralysis

"I just heard a different kind of siren go through my neighborhood than I've ever heard before, it wasn't police, fire, or ambulance... and a moment later I felt a pulse of energy pass through my nervous system. My nerve attenuation syndrome weakened for a moment and I woke up a little more."
