Brainwashing pitters

It deeply disturbed Loraine when her village was missing its coyote, that meaning the  mean-spirited, back-stabbing village gossipmongers snaring the coyote in a leg trap to keep it away while they pitted one neighbor against another.  But Loraine did not let this go on too long.  Before the coyote had to chew its leg off to get free, Loraine set it free with her voodoo, coming down hard on those gossipmongers.

The abducted coyote "listened" for Loraine so that it could free itself.  This time, the gossipmongers had gone too far.  The brainwashing "pitters" have baited a dead sheep with Lithium, a cruel misuse of a placebo that makes the coyotes sick, disoriented, and lethargic.

It is a female, "Patty Hearst," Loraine dubbed her.  From what Loraine can "tell" she weighs only about thirty-five pounds, and has dark circles under her eyes, looking like Patty Hearst in sunglasses.

An Expose
On Capturing The Coyote Mind
(as compared to the Patricia Hearst Case)

We have seen how brainwashing can become a sinister tool of college-educated, anarchic and religious groups who wish to gain control over, and secure obedience.

1. The coyote is threated by death. (via high-powered rifles)

vs.

Patty Hearst.  She was threatened by death.  Three days of lie detector tests by four experts support her story that she was forced on threat of death to take part in a bank robbery.  Threat of death is an important component of brainwashing. (David Koresh, Charles Manson)

2. The coyote is confined and restrained. (via steel-jaw leg traps)  Since 1972, toxicants for poisoning coyotes have been outlawed or restricted by Presidential Executive Order and by subsequent actions by the Environmental Protection Agency.  Strychnine, compound 1080, and thallium are no longer in use in drop baits (small chunks of meat) or in draw stations (large meat baits.)  The Coyote Getter, a device that injects sodium cyanide into the mouths of coyotes, has been replaced with the M44, which in most states can only be used by Federal Animal Damage control agents.

vs.

Patty Hearst.  She was confined and restrained.  According to reports, she was tied up, blindfolded, and confined in a closet for a considerable length of time.  Isolation and physical restraint are very important factors in religious and military brainwashing.  Was Patty on drugs?  Drugs make a person suggestible and easier to change.  Those around her were known as "acid heads."  It is very likely they would have not hesitated to use drugs in Patty's indoctrination; it was part of the Symbionese Liberation Army's cult.

These few factors point out a definate possibility that the coyote is brainwashed.  Some will say that like Patty Hearst, the coyote is a rebel.  Loraine Leatherbow thinks differently, there being strong indication that both Patty was and coyote is brainwashed.

The coyote is back in the village.  Aiiiii...Aiiiii...Yip...Yip...Yippy!
