German for decomposition and disruption was a psychological warfare technique used by the Ministry for State Security Stasi. The Stasi perfected the technique of psychological harassment of perceived enemies known as Zersetzung (pronounced [ʦɛɐ̯ˈzɛtsʊŋ]) – a term borrowed from chemistry which literally means “decomposition“. the Stasi had decided that the methods of overt persecution that had been employed up to that time, such as arrest and torture, were too crude and obvious. Such forms of oppression were drawing significant international condemnation. It was realized that psychological harassment was far less likely to be recognized for what it was, so its victims, and their supporters, were less likely to be provoked into active resistance, given that they would often not be aware of the source of their problems, or even its exact nature. International condemnation could also be avoided. Zersetzung was designed to side-track and “switch off“ perceived enemies so that they would lose the will to continue any “inappropriate“ activities.[n 2] Anyone who was judged to display politically, culturally, or religiously incorrect attitudes could be viewed as a “hostile-negative“[37] force and targeted with Zersetzung methods. For this reason members of the Church, writers, artists, and members of youth sub-cultures were often the victims. Zersetzung methods were applied and further developed in a “creative and differentiated“[38] manner based upon the specific person being targeted i.e. they were tailored based upon the target’s psychology and life situation. Tactics employed under Zersetzung usually involved the disruption of the victim’s private or family life. This often included psychological attacks, such as breaking into their home and subtly manipulating the contents, in a form of gaslighting i.e. moving furniture around, altering the timing of an alarm, removing pictures from walls, or replacing one variety of tea with another etc. Other practices included property damage, sabotage of cars, travel bans, career sabotage, administering purposely incorrect medical treatment, MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS BLAMING COVID.
