The United States once again vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday that had demanded an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages, saying that the effort did not go far enough in condemning Hamas.

The 14 other members of the United Nations’ most powerful body voted in favor of the resolution, which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “catastrophic” and called on Israel to lift all restrictions on the delivery of aid to the 2.1 million Palestinians in the territory.

Trigger: Body Shutdown

Location: Mental | Trigger Type: Outcome | Timespan: Immediate

Description: Speaking varying parts into existence (vertebral column, occipital lobe, endocrine gland, etc) and speaking an effect; usually an on/off or an enhanced/decreased effect

Used For: sensation control, sensory deprivation, overstimulation, emotional control

As a scientist, this is a particular favorite of mine. Being able to utilize different body parts and activate/deactivate them with a single word is particularly useful, especially when it comes to more methodical experimentation.

This can be utilized one of two ways. One way to use this effect would be a simple on/off, like the flip of a switch. Letting the sensory regions fade off while the mental stays on allows for a delightful amount of confusion and chaos with given subject. The other alternative is a sliding scale, like a dimmer lightswitch. Utilizing it in this fashion would create a more gradual sense of change, which may be beneficial in long-term repeatability.

Examples of the above could be testing out different triggers in different environments to see which has the most effect, shutting off certain body parts under trance, etc. I've seen this used for memory manipulation, sensory deprivation chambers, emotional regulation, and many more things.

As a mental trigger, this is a particularly useful one for subjects lacking senses of phantom touch, or subjects that have aphantasia. Being able to manipulate specific body parts allows the hypnotist to bypass the mental requirements needed with a more "physical" touch, and instead accesses the cerebrum directly.
