GANG STALKING
Gang Stalking is a form of systemic control programming used to repress and keep individuals in line. There are other names for this form of social engineering, including but not limited to Group Stalking, Cause Stalking, Organised Stalking, Multiple or MultiStalking, Vigilante Stalking, Stalking By Proxy, Organised Harassment, Street Harassment, Community Based Harrassment, Covert Harrassment and Surveillance, Community Mobbing, Cointelpro and covert war. These are just some of the names given to a very old game, one that is described several times in the Bible and played out by governments all over the world on their unsuspecting citizens. The government cannot control everyone individually, but it can have people control others, for example in a more overt way through peer pressure and fear of seeming ridiculous. There is a great deal of information on this subject available on the internet, many videos on Youtube and numerous websites such as http://gangstalkingworld.com http://gangstalkingworld.com,, http://www.targetedindividuals.com, http://www.multistalkervictims.org. Findings from the British Crime Survey 2004 show that over a million women and around 900,000 men were victims of stalking in the UK, and since then incidences are known to have dramatically increased. In April 2011, Dorset police launched a Stalking Awareness Week with three stalking charities working together to raise awareness of the serial, ongoing nature of stalking. TIs (Targeted Individuals) are chosen for many reasons, for political views, because they are potential whistleblowers, belong to a dissident movement, because they asserted their rights at work, because they have their own mind, because they think for themselves. If they were considered to be too outspoken, unwittingly investigated something that the state did not want investigated, or anything deemed as suspicious. TIs are also chosen simply because they are not already in some way a part of this controlled system. Many TIs seem to be unaware that large chunks of our society are snitching and spying on each other, often scheming and lying in the process to gain some form of power of advantage. The goal is to isolate the TI from all forms of support, to make them look crazy or unstable, destroy their reputation and credibility and set them up in the future for arrest, institutionalisation, or forced suicide. For the individuals targeted by this kind of harassment, Gang Stalking is experienced as a covert psychological, emotional and physical attack, that is more than capable of immobilising and destroying them over time. For the state it is a way to keep the TI in line, control them or destroy them. Worldwide programmes of control and conformity have been used with equal success and lethality. What we are seeing now is global co-ordinated and organised efforts of control and conformity. Reports of Gang Stalking are coming in from many countries, including democratic countries. The modern day systemic form of control is sometimes funded at higher governmental levels, just like in other societies where these similar types of harassment programmes have been implemented. It's all part of a system of control and conformity that has been in place for many years, a system of control with many local groups and appendages taking part. Other goals include sensitizing the TI to every day stimulus as a form of control, which can be used to control TIs when they get out of line. The TI over a period of months or even years is negatively sensitised to an everyday stimuli, which is then used to harass them. It's used in public to let them know they are constantly being harassed and monitored.

The secondary goals are to make the TIs homeless, jobless, give them a breakdown, make them vulnerable and destitute, with the primary goal to force them to suicide. It's a useful way of eliminating perceived enemies of the state. There are many reasons why people take part in Gang Stalking. Some do it for the sense of power it gives them. Others do it as an easy way to make friends and keep friends. It's something social and fun for them to do, breaking down social barriers of race, gender, age and sex. Some are told that they are part of homeland or national security and being used to help keep an eye on dangerous or emotionally disturbed individuals, so they see themselves as heroic spies for the state, and makes them feel important. Others are roped in in various ways. Some are told outright lies and slander about the TI to get them to go along with ruining their life. Isolation of the TI is done via slander campaigns, and lies, eg. people in their community are told that the TI is a thief, into drugs, a prostitute, or ex-prostitute, paedophile, crazy, a liar, not to be trusted, in trouble for something, needs to be watched. Falsfied files are often produced, shown or talked about to employers, work colleagues, neighbours, friends and family. Techniques of psychological warfare are used against the TI in a methodical and well orchestrated attack that often leaves the target a victim of ridicule among his friends and family because this occurrence is so hard to believe. These tactics are intended to weaken the TI to the point of physical and psychological collapse. The TI will often not have any idea what has actually happened just that everything keeps falling apart around them. However, the number of TIs are increasing to the point that they can network with one another and find out that similar tactics are used everywhere. Gang stalking involves the use of multiple individuals to stalk, harass and taunt a victim. This can take place for many years, particularly since law enforcement and legislation have yet to catch up with the reality of organized stalking by groups. The psychological warfare involves the TI being reminded that they are in their life and that they are being watched. There can be daily interferences, which are psychologically degrading and damaging to the TI. People, sometimes unwittingly, can be sent to the TI to do specific things to cause them to react in a certain way and cause them further psychological trauma. The reasons why a person is initially targeted can vary. Sometimes the person may be a political activist. Others may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Corporations have been known to hire stalking groups to silence people who were once in their employ. Stalking gangs may be lied to about the TI, thinking that perhaps the person is a deviant who needs to be driven out of town. The reasons are only limited to the imagination. In some cases, according to David Lawson, author of Terrorist Stalking in America, the person has done nothing wrong but is simply used as a practice target or as an example to others in the group to show what can happen to them if they anger the group in some way, or to serve the purposes of trauma based mind control. This serves to keep the members of these stalking groups tied to the group through intense fear of becoming a TI. It is such a terrifying prospect because the gang members are intimately aware that the lives of the TIs are utterly destroyed Raising someone’s daily stress level, invading their personal space in any one of a number of ways, verbal insults, untoward difficulties and intrusions and so on - any of these events by themselves are daily occurrences in life, but repeated daily negative contacts or events have a cumulative psychological effect. One such event a week or even a day are not by themselves
2
traumatic, but a dozen or more such events on a daily basis raise the internal stress level to such an extent that an enemy agent would be effectively neutralised. The target becomes psychologically unbalanced and stressed to the extent that they find it hard or impossible to concentrate or get their work done. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence: TIs usually feel lost, alone and helpless. Authorities want evidence but even if the TI does get to realise what is actually happening to them, in their often confused, harassed, debilitated, terrorised and traumatised state it may be difficult if not impossible for them to collect evidence. Gang stalkers, consciously or subconsciously, primarily try to destroy the TI’s life or drive the TI to commit suicide. Since this is done using a group, they feel the group or no one is to blame but the TI. Blaming it on the group allows them to escape personal blame by disassociating from the group but in reality each individual who participated holds the blame for the TI's death because their constant torment was the reason why the person committed suicide. The other goal is to drive the person crazy or provoke an attack. This is supposed to eliminate the guilt of a death. Either way, the stalkers are actively trying to destroy an innocent life. Gang stalkers are essentially a hate group. They hate and try to eliminate those who are different from them. Contrary to popular belief hate groups can contain members of the group that is hated. Remember that some slaves fought for the confederate army and some women were against the women's movement. Another misconception is that hate groups are only based on ethnicity. When it comes down to it, hate groups hate those who don't act or think like them. Those who think differently, want to change things, or just make the group feel uncomfortable for any number of reasons, are targeted. Often if the hate group decides to harm a TI, they get the most unlikely person or the person most similar in appearance or culture to the TI to commit the act. This supposedly makes it harder to blame the hate group or call it an action based on hate. Why would someone participate in organised stalking? 'Everyone's doing it." Most of these people want to be thought of as acceptable, and part of the 'in crowd'. Someone they know and trust is part of an organised harassment group. They think it will protect them from becoming TIs themselves. Takes the heat of themselves and helps them achieve their agenda and get almost instant 'unconditional' support as long as they 'toe the line'. Under-achievers take it as an opportunity to get in with a more prominent group. Remember that these are not only teenagers or college students, there are parents who engage in this activity and encourage their kids to do so, and frequently fully grown adults and some people who seem 'nice' choose to engage in these activities. Many people ask, "Why would anyone engage in this kind of activity?". In order to answer that question, it's important to realize that the person who has decided to target an individual is not always the person (or persons in this case) doing the stalking. This is known as "stalking by proxy". Those who have called ‘the hit’ (so-to-speak) may be doing it for any number of reasons, including revenge, jealousy, or a desire to keep someone silent, or any number of combinations of these and other reasons. It may be that physically harming a person is considered too extreme or too risky by the perpetrators. In fact, this kind of psychological attack can be a far more effective way to harm someone. It can completely destroy a person's life while leaving little or no evidence to incriminate the perpetrators. Additionally, there are the reasons that the stalkers themselves engage in the activity, which have little or nothing to do with why the person may have been targeted in the first place. It is conceivable that the participants in the harassment don't even know why the person has been targeted, nor would most of these individuals have any personal stake in harassing the victim. 3
But certain things are clear - this is an both an addictive behaviour as well as a form of entertainment for the stalkers. From the expressions on the faces of some of the perpetrators who come face-to-face with their targets, there is a vicious kind of pleasure that they derive from bullying their victim. Clearly they like the feeling of being "in control". But isn't that called strategy? No, it's called cheating. Any and everyone could do the same thing and 'win'. Pick any unsuspecting person and start an attack on him or her. You can achieve the same results. Most cheaters are quick to call out anyone who they think is cheating especially when the person catches on. Only those who can't get ahead by playing a fair game take advantage that others will play fair. They think they are being clever or strategic but a clever and strategic person plays fair and wins. Harassment participants are highly skilled and trained in all the tricks that are used from elementary school to high school, or honed and perfected as they are passed down through family generations. They know that just about every attack is successful because the stalker sets low standards for 'winning'. They set themselves up to win every time, whether the TI reacts or not, building up the psychological pressure on the TI which it is hoped, consciously or subconsciously, will eventually lead to breakdown. Are gang stalkers crazy? The TI becomes a scapegoat or enemy of the group. Members are given biased information and are pressured to adopt hostile feelings towards the TI. Participants gossip about the TI, discuss their personal information between themselves and or with strangers or bystanders, true or false, and watch the TI from a distance. They come to really believe that they know and have hostile feelings towards the TI even though most of them do not even know the TI, have never even met or directly conversed with the target. They develop stalker's symptoms where things that may be insignificant to the TI has meaning to them and they start to believe that they have a secret relationship with them or that the TI is willingly participating in what is going on. If any do ever talk to the TI, their mind has been so messed up with the faulty information that they will only see things that support the group's view. The TI could save someone's life and they would still find a way to negate or dismiss it. This distorts their personal view of reality and makes them dependent upon whatever the group thinks. Members will criticise, ridicule and vilify the TI. They will try to find something wrong or nitpick whatever the TI does, says or presents but they will deny their ill intent. They will pick fights with the TI then blame them for the whole thing. If their attacks fail or the target has a successful self-defence, they will feel as if the TI has wronged them or is not cooperating. They will start to feel a superficial superiority to the TI. They will really start to believe that the target is crazy and try to get others to believe the same. All this while not admitting that they are the obsessive ones who stalk, attack and possibly engage in illegal activities to harm an innocent person. Their behaviour and activities are usually far crazier than the TI's. What are their tactics? Behind the scenes there are more sinister tactics being used, but these are the basic tactics. The stalkers try to convince other people - even the TI's friends and family members - that the TI is bad, wrong, crazy, incompetent, etc. They might think or even say that the TI is a victim or enjoys the attention. The stalkers will directly or indirectly coerce or even threaten others to join their efforts or at least do nothing to help the TI. The stalkers try to turn others against the TI. The stalkers try to get the TI unemployed, raped, homeless, isolated, hurt, etc. They forget the TI is a human being, someone's child, someone's parent, or someone's partner. In their mania, they lose their reason and their conscience.

A conflict exists in the mind of stalkers where they know so many details and have become so obsessed with the TI that they 'feel as if they know’ him/her. But in reality, a face-to-face encounter proves otherwise. The stalker has to reconcile this conflict in some way because they experience some kind of psychological dissonance when the TI turns out not to be what they thought or were told to believe. However, instead of dealing with the truth, they find even the most insignificant things to hold on to the myth. But whatever happens they do kind of win, don't they? It seems that way. Looking into it, it is obvious that there is foul play. Examples: Several men ganging up on a woman, several women ganging up on a man, several people ganging up on one person, denying involvement or backing down when confronted., waiting until the TI is severely weakened to attack or reveal competition, or introduce someone else to 'finish them off' covert actions that do not allow a TI to respond or even know what is going on. Like our society's current obsession with "reality TV", this activity must inevitably gain popularity as the ultimate experience of "reality" entertainment. Such is the nature of the bottomless pit within the stalkers that thirsts, evermore, for greater and greater thrills. To the perpetrators, their TIs are merely their prey, in a game that never ends. But make no mistake, whatever the reasoning behind it, this is a vicious and calculated hate crime. You probably won't see bumper stickers that say "Proud Participant of Organised Harassment". "I love Gang Stalking" or "I support Organised Harassment". Although some members of gang stalking groups may agree with those statements, they don't want anyone who isn't part of a gang to know that they participate. Gang stalking, organised harassment, etc. happens when a group of people use various systematic methods to harass, torment, intimidate, or harm a TI. They want to believe that they are good, responsible people or at least that's the image they want others to see. Some gang stalkers have prominent positions in society that need integrity and responsibility, they hide this secret life from others. If those outside their gang know that they were harassing and terrorising innocent people they probably would not be held in high regard and lose some respect. But some of these people would be quick to criticise and point fingers at inner-city gangs and mobsters when are no better and in some ways worse than street gangs, cults or mobsters. Most street gangs and mobsters target criminals or others who are involved in criminal activity. Organised harassment groups mainly target innocent people. What can be done? Most people support a society free of organised harassment. Organised harassment groups don't make people feel safe, not even the members. These groups need people to ignore them, do nothing or join them. There are methods to stop them without becoming a TI. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
The types of activities which take place are often subtle, and sometimes cannot be distinguished from normal everyday things that go wrong, but they typically occur much more frequently than they would normally. David Lawson points out in his book, Terrorist Stalking in America, that the victim is intentionally "sensitized" to the presence of the stalkers, so he or she will sometimes know that the occurrences are orchestrated. This causes intense psychological strain due to the isolation and ridicule that results when the TI tries to share these experiences with others. It is a psychological reign of terror intended to make a victim look crazy and intended to keep him or her in a constant state of anxiety and stress as to "what will happen next" (also known as hypervigilance). There was a 1944 movie called "Gaslight" about a husband trying to drive his wife crazy, from which the term "gaslighting" was derived. According to Slang City, to gaslight 5
someone is to drive them crazy by intentionally confusing them. In the 1944 movie Gaslight, in which sweet heiress Ingrid Bergman marries creepy Charles Boyer, who hopes to get her inheritance by driving her insane. He convinces her she's seeing and hearing things that don't exist, including the gaslights (used before light bulbs were invented) going on and off when he is upstairs searching for money he believes is hidden there. The subtle techniques used to make the wife doubt her own sanity are similar to the techniques used by gang stalkers to unnerve a TI. For example, the perpetrators sometimes obtain means of access to their target’s home and may come into the house while the TI is out and move things around a little bit, or spread some dirt on the floor or on furniture, or move an item from the house to the car. Or perhaps it is something around their car or parking space. However usually they won't cause enough damage to warrant involving the police. This shows that this activity is a psychological game of cat and mouse, and has little to do with any overt kind of damage that may be caused, such as burning someone's house down or stealing valuables. In some milder cases, the TI doesn't know s/he is being targeted. It just looks as though the world is full of rude and uncaring people, and everything s/he owns constantly breaks or something ‘happens’ (‘bad luck’). According to Lawson, the perpetrators don't need the TI to know s/he is targeted in order to fill the need within themselves that they are in control. EFFECTS OF HARASSMENT
These are some of the general effects that harassment can have on TIs. The information is provided by Harassment101.com ANGER
Harassment makes you feel angry. You feel justified anger about being treated in such an inhumane way. Prisoners in unfair conditions often experience the same anger. A desire to tell them what you are feeling, to let them know the pain and suffering you are experiencing is normal, but usually not possible so that the anger is turned in on yourself. DENIAL
The first stage of harassment is shock and then denial. You absolutely do not believe that you are being singled out for such behaviour, or that the situation is happening to you. You also do not believe that so many people could be so heartless, and to fail to understand what you are going through. It is complete denial, not because you want to deny the situation is happening, but because you can't believe that it's happening to you. Before the harassment you may have been a fully in control person, who was cared for and even respected. You can not believe that people would treat you in such a inhumane and degrading way. You can't believe it's happening because you should know how to handle the situation, you should know how to take care of yourself. Some victims of harassment blame themselves for the harassment, or think if they just do this or that differently the harassment will stop and go away. Harassment makes you feel powerless, it makes you feel that the control of your circumstances and your surroundings have been taken away from you. Some victims blame themselves for not recognising what was happening and not being able to confront the harasser. In a way like rape, harassment is in effect a physical, psychological and emotional assault. Many rape victims can not believe what is happening, the same way many harassment victims can not believe what is happening.

DEGRADATION
Harassment makes you feel degraded. Victims of harassment often feel demeaned, debased, devalued, degraded, humiliated and embarrassed. Harassment is all about bringing you to your knees, not just in the physical, but in the emotional sense. At least to some degree, most harassers know what they are doing. They are out to take away who you are, they want to rape and violate you on an emotional and psychological level. They want to make you feel weak and vulnerable, which starts by degrading you. Harassers will tell lies, make up rumours, defame your character, try to make you seem crazy, unstable, or even incompetent to do your job. Putting you into degrading situations, saying embarrassing things to you, or doing humiliating things to you. This is the first step in breaking you down. Prisoner of war camps also use such methods on captives. DOUBT
When you are being harassed it causes you to wonder why you have been singled out for the harassment. Harassed persons often feel that they should be able to handle the situation or find a suitable solution to the harassment. When an harassed individual realises that the situation is spiralling out of control or that their normal coping mechanisms are not suitable for the situation, it can cause a great deal of doubt. Being harassed can not only cause you to doubt yourself, but it can cause you to doubt those around you. The people that you once thought were your friends, family, or supports you find are not who you thought they were. The institutions that were there to protect you and keep you safe fail you, even the legal system might be called into doubt if your case if not processed in a timely or just manner. Harassment can cause you to doubt and disbelieve everything you once thought you knew, including yourself. ECONOMIC EFFECTS
Harassment has serious economic effects including: losing or quitting a job, demotion, quitting school (which has future economic consequences), absenteeism, payment of legal fees or medical or consulting fees, and it can affect your credit if your job loss causes you to fall behind on your bill payments or on your house payments. Loss of credit can cause future difficulties as your record can take years to clear. GUILT
If you think that any of your actions contributed to the harassment you might feel deep guilt at having brought the circumstances on yourself. You might blame yourself and say if only I had not done this or that, if only I had reacted this way. Feeling guilty and blaming yourself only gives the harasser power. The harasser has an equal responsibility to cease and desist the moment you make it clear the words, behaviours, or actions are making you uncomfortable, or they are unwelcome. Blaming yourself and feeling guilty will only go so far, and then you have to move on. HELPLESSNESS
There is nowhere to turn, nothing you can do. Even if you do eventually find out and realise what is going on, and are able to collect some actual evidence, no one would believe you. ISOLATION
Depending on the form of harassment you are experiencing the situation can leave you feeling
7
very isolated. You may not feel comfortable talking to family and friends. If the harassment is happening at school or work, you may wish to keep the situation minimalised by not sharing what's going on, even if you do even recognise what is happening, as many don’t understand it. If you are the only person experiencing the harassment, you might feel that no one will really understand what you are going through or believe you. You might have lost your ability to trust others early on based on their reactions. The isolation that harassment can cause is one of the most devastating factors of being harassed. It really makes you feel that you are utterly alone, without even knowing why. You feel that there is no one out there who will be able to help or assist you, and so you are forced to suffer in silence. You may also find to avoid the harassment you stop going to social events and activities, that’s if you are invited at all, and you spend more and more time inside where it's safe. This is all part of the isolation that harassment can cause. LOSS OF TRUST
Harassment undermines a complainant's ability to trust others, and even trust themselves. This inability to trust then has current and future repercussions. Trust is lost when an harassed individual fails to receive support, affirmation, justice or even help to get the harassment stopped. Loss of trust can be geared towards individuals in the situation, the institutions themselves or even the society at large. Harassment also undermines your ability to trust because so many aspects of being harassed are similar to being victimised or raped. This makes it hard to trust people again in the same way. This can lead to victims becoming further victims by internalising the experience, and isolating themselves from legitimate sources of support. NEED FOR VALIDATION OF YOUR EXPERIENCE
There are three validation needs when you are harassed. You need to be believed, understood, and have the experience validated. You want someone to confirm that yes, the situation you experienced was that bad, and that it did have a deep effect on you. When you are physically raped it is easier for people to understand your pain and suffering, but when you are harassed people can play down or undervalue the experience and the effects it had on you. Individuals have a tendency to see it as over-reacting, or not really that bad. They want you to just let it go and just get past it, but you can't, and you don't want to, because it really was that bad, a seemingly never-ending living nightmare. You want the severity of the experience to be validated for what it was. Harassment victims live in fear of many things, but the main things seems to be the fear of not being believed or fully understood. You just don't think you will be able to find the right words to articulate how the experience made you feel. The last thing you want to do is share this experience that's impacted your life to such a huge extent with someone who undervalues or does not understand what you have been through. You don't want to see that lack of understanding in their eyes, or hear the devaluing of your experience in their words. You want to share your story, and you long to tell your tale. You however want a safe effective format where you will be believed. You have a deep unabiding emotional need to be understood. You need someone to understand that it really was that degrading and horrible. That this just tore you apart and almost destroyed you. You need validation and understanding, it's what's at the heart of this experience.

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS
Harassment can and often causes a wide range of physical symptoms. It can cause stomach ailments, headaches, insomnia, lethargy, nausea, constant nervousness, poor appetite, over eating, weight loss, weight gain, cuttings into the skin, and other physical symptoms. PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS
The main area that harassment affects is our psyche, and because of this there are several psychological symptoms that go along with being harassed. Short term memory loss or decreased concentration. Decreased work or school performance. •
Anti-social behaviours. Anger or violent reactions that are outside of your normal realm before the harassment began, irritable, and short tempered, swearing and cursing, etc. •
Thoughts of suicide and extreme depression, uncontrolled crying, hyper-vigilance, hyperawareness, hypersensitive •
•
Loss of interest in love and romance.
•
Extreme thoughts of helplessness and frustration.
•
Loss of interest in usual pastimes.
•
Stressed, feeling worthless, feeling guilty, feeling angry.
•
Feeling psychologically and emotionally raped. SOCIETAL EFFECTS
Harassment can make you a social outcast period. If you do nothing about the harassment those around you might sympathise, but they will in time learn to ignore it and treat it as a common day to day occurrence. If you take action against the harasser, school, or place of employment, you might find that you are ostracized, and retaliated against in many unfair ways. Socially you might not be invited out to group or social activities, you might be shunned during daily school, or work place events. People who associate with you will be singled out with peer pressure to stop the association. People around you will tell the most demeaning and degrading lies about you. You might find that your family and friends think you are over-reacting and fail to offer support on any level. They may even be the very ones who turn against you, if they become affected by the harassment through your job loss, or dropping out of school. They may feel that what you have is somehow ‘catching’ or that you are somehow ‘jinxed’ which could affect them. They may be angry at having to help you out or at you for not being able to take care of yourself properly. SPIRITUAL CRISIS
While being harassed and for a long time afterwards you might find that you experience a spiritual crisis. You can feel disconnected from the mainstream of life, from the universe, and from God. You might find that spiritually you are unable to do the things you used to do to touch base with your higher self, or a higher external spiritual source. You lose any sense of inner peace, faith or hope that you had previously. SUBSTANCE ABUSE
9
To numb the pain of dealing with harassment some people do turn to drugs, alcohol or medication. This is then one more thing individuals then have to deal with as part of their recovery process. TUNING OUT
Harassment can be emotionally, physically, spiritually, and psychologically taxing. To handle the pain and degradation our coping methods kick in, and we start to tune out the harassment. We however do not just tune out the harassment, we often tune out our school work, housework, work that we should be doing gets neglected. Social events that we should be attending start to be missed. Things that you had interest in before start to be less desirable. You just start to shut down and tune out the things that you once loved. You switch off. You stop caring about anything. Nothing seems to mean anything anymore.
WHAT IS GANG STALKING? - A SIMPLE DEFINITION
Under Occupational Health and Safety laws, individuals are being flagged and placed on community notification lists. This is happening without the TI’s knowledge. In many countries these community notifications are being used by companies and others to target innocent individuals such as whistle-blowers, the outspoken, etc. In conjunction with these notifications, companies and others are in some cases using a practice that was used in the former soviet union called the psychiatric reprisal. This is used as a means of retaliation, blacklisting, silencing, or controlling members of society. Once on the notification system, warnings about the TIs are sent out to every individual the TI comes in contact with, thus poisoning their associations, and socially annexing the TI. FULL DEFINITION
Gang Stalking is a systemic form of control, which seeks to destroy every aspect of a TIs life. Once a TI is flagged a notification is sent out to the community at large, and the TI is followed around by members of the various communities that they are in. The community notifications will go out to various places. Apartment rentals, future employers, stores and communities where the TI visits, can be notified, or doctors offices, fire departments, police, etc. A covert investigation might also be opened, andelectronic, means used by the civilian spies/snitches as part of the overt and covert monitoring and surveillance process. Individuals can be flagged designating them as having a history of aggressive or inappropriate behaviour. This may have even been instigated by the TI being made the victim of an unprovoked attack causing the TI to defend themselves. This notification system will follow the TI if they move, change jobs, visit other areas. It lets the community believe that the TI is a person who needs to be watched or monitored.
PSYCHIATRIC REPRISAL The individual is then placed under overt and covert forms of surveillance. Everywhere the TI goes, their name is flagged. In a big city this could mean that many people are getting a notification about the TI. Foot patrols and vehicle patrols can be used to follow the TI around, as part of the monitoring process. During these patrols aone handed sign language is used to assist the citizen informants with communicating to each other. They will use this to silently communicate to any business the TI enters, or other areas.

Gang Stalking is experienced by the TI as psychological attack, that is capable of immobilizing and destroying them over time. The covert methods used to harass, persecute, and falsely defame the TIs, often leave no evidence to incriminate the civilian spies. Many TIs are flagged, harassed and placed under surveillance in this way for months or even years before they realize that they are being targeted by an organized protocol of harassment. What happens during this monitoring and surveillance is very similar to what happened to many innocent individuals in the former East Germany or Activists and Dissidents in Russia. Many innocent people in the former East Germany would be targeted by the state, and then their friends, family, and the community at large would be used to monitor, prosecute, and harass them. The same persecutions and harassments are now happening in democratic countries, the US, the EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,. India and China. As in Russia, any one declared by the state to be activist, dissidents or anyone they thought to be an enemy of the state were labelled as mentally unfit and many were institutionalised using this form of systemic control. Civilian snitches are recruited from every level and sector of society. Everyone in the TI's life is made a part of this ongoing never-ending systemic form of control and harassment specifically designed to control the TI and to keep them in line. These actions are also designed to destroy the TI over years, make them look crazy and leave them with no form of support. Once a person is flagged or has a warning marker placed on their file, the community becomes hypervigilant, and within this structure there is a targeted and illegal protocol of harassment that happens. Electronic means can easily be used to monitor, harass and torture the TI. When the TI tries to describe what is happening to them, it sounds as if they have had a mental breakdown. The reality is electronic means have been developed and are being used to make it appear as if the TI has had a breakdown. TIs are exposed to a feeling of intense paranoia, discomfort, disorientation, nausea and other undesirable effects. These devices are easy to access, and almost impossible for an unaware TI to describe in a credible manner, without sounding as if they have had a mental breakdown. Civilian Spies, who can also be termed “Covert Human Intelligence Sources” come from every level and sector of society. Remember anyone the TI comes into contact with can get a warning about the TI. Just like with Cointelpro investigations, everyone in the TIs life is contacted, advised as to why the individual has been flagged, advised not to discuss the notification and asked to be a part of the ongoing, never ending monitoring (systemic psychological harassment and manipulation of the TI) process. This process is covertly designed to control the TI, keep them in line, or destroy the TI over time, leaving them with no form of support. These actions are specifically designed to mimic a psychological operation. The perpetrators around the TI carry out actions and tasks as they are instructed, without realizing that the structure is psychologically designed to break the TI down. Worldwide programs of control and conformity have been used with equal success and lethality. What we are seeing now is a co-ordinated and organized effort of control and conformity. Many countries around the world are currently using a model of policing called: Community Oriented Policing. It’s described as a systemic approach to policing. It focuses on instilling a sense of community within a geographically located neighbourhood. Communities come together and discuss what values they would like to have in their community, community development, and it’s also a time to discuss any problems that might be happening in a specific area. If a problem is identified an investigation might be opened. These local programs in many countries have been forming partnerships with other 11
government run programs at, provincial, state and federal levels. A process called Deconfliction allows them to share information.
WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF GANG STALKING?
The official goal is listed as a notification for the community, to alert them of individuals who have been flagged, or have had a warning marker placed on their file. It’s officially used as a means of investigating or monitoring individuals who have displayed inappropriate, or violent behaviours. The real goal in some cases however seems to be to isolate the TI from all forms of support, so that the TI can be set up in the future for arrest, institutionalisation, or forced suicide. Other goals of this harassment is to destroy the TI’s reputation and credibility. Make the TI look crazy or unstable. Other goals involve sensitising the TI to everyday stimuli’s as a form of control, which is used to control TIs when they get out of line. Once the TI is sensitised, the Citizen Informants have an easier time identifying the TI in public. The TI’s sensitivity is most likely added to their file as a warning marker and sign to watch for future reactions to. The structure of this type of notification makes the TI vulnerable. Once a community goes into monitoring mode, they unofficially work towards driving the TI from the community. This can be done by making the TI destitute. Secondary goals include making the TI homeless, jobless, giving them a breakdown, and the primary goals seems to be to drive the TI to forced suicide. This is the same thing that was done to targets of the Stasi and Cointelpro investigations. It’s a useful way of eliminating perceived enemies of the state. HOW ARE TARGETS CHOSEN?
Officially TIs can be flagged and investigated for suspected, or reported behaviours. Unofficially the TIs can be chosen because of many other reasons. They can be chosen for political views, they can be chosen for whistle-blowing. They can be chosen because they belong to a dissident movement, they can be chosen because they asserted their rights at work, or filed a complaint. They can be chosen because they made the wrong enemy, were considered to be too outspoken, unwittingly investigated something that the state did not want investigated, signed a petition, wrote a letter. They were deemed as suspicious by a civilian spy or snitch and their names were handed over. It’s becoming apparent that TIs might be chosen for this systemic form of control, if they are not already in some way a part of this controlled system. Eg. many TIs seem to be unaware of this community notification, flagging and monitoring system. Some TIs also seem to be unaware that large chunks of our society are now being used as Citizen Informants. WHO GETS TARGETED?
Targeting can happen to anyone in society. In the past primary TIs of programs such as Cointelpro have been minorities. Targeting however can happen to anyone. Individuals are often targeted for being outspoken, whistle blowers, dissidents, people who go up against wealthy corporations, woman’s groups, (single) women, minorities, extremists, conspiracy theorists, anti-war proponents, individuals identified or targeted as problems at these community meetings, and other innocent individuals. The majority of the TIs are often not aware that they are being targeted in this way. When a TI moves, changes jobs, the harassment still continues, because they are still flagged, and a notification is still going out to everyone they come in contact with. Every time the TI moves, the same information, lies, and slander will be spread out into the new community and the systemic monitoring and harassment will continue.

WHO TAKES PART?
People from all walks of life are a part of this system, because once a TI is flagged, their information is distributed to a wide range of people, organizations, and communities. People from all races, ages, genders. Every sector of society that you can think of is a part of this. Civilian Spies/Snitches include, but are not limited to: General labourers, the wealthy, bikers, drug dealers, drug users, street people, punks, hip hop culture, KKK, black activists, church

groups, youth groups, fire fighters, police officers, lawyers, health care workers, store keepers, maids, janitors, cable installers, phone repair persons, mail carriers, locksmiths, electricians, etc. There really is no minimum or maximum age range. An article came out recently in the UK, saying they were recruiting children as young as eight years old to be
Covert Human Intelligence Sources. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2689996/Children-aged-eightenlisted-as-c%20ouncil-snoopers.html Public individuals that the TI comes into contact with are given this warning. These community notifications started with good intentions. Workers and the community at large do have a right to be notified if they are going to encounter persons who have violent, inappropriate histories. Citizens want to be able to protect themselves and their communities, however what is happening is that this program is also being used to falsely target innocent people for highly unethical reasons. Many do not understand or care that the end consequence of this flagging, this harassment protocol is to destroy a person. Many people in today’s society are scared, they are willing to give up personal freedoms, for a false sense of security, and if that means taking away the rights of another individual to accomplish this, they have no problem doing this. and short tempered,
WHY DO PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN GANG STALKING?
There are many reasons that someone will take part in this. 1. Some do it for the sense of power that it gives them. They feel in control. Many wholeheartedly believe that this let’s them know who is bad and who they need to protect themselves and their communities from. 2. Others do this as a way to make friends and keep friends. It’s something social and fun for them to do. They love that special feeling of monitoring and protecting their community. Many in society use the one handed sign language to communicate and it’s very effective in breaking down race, gender, age, social barriers. Many believe that it also lets them know who is on their side, vs. who could be the potential target.

3. Others are forced or blackmailed by the State or the police into taking part. I have heard of people being pressured into taking part. 4. They are told that they are part of homeland or national security. They are told that they are being used to help keep and eye on dangerous or emotionally disturbed individuals. They see themselves as heroic spies for the state. 5. Others are just local thugs or Informants who are already being used for other activities, and their energies are just diverted over into these community health and safety programs. Eg. some may be given the choice of monitoring a TI for the community or the police vs. going to jail. 6. Others are told outright lies and slander about the TI to get them to go along with ruining the TIs life. Eg. many caring families are told that the individuals has displayed mental health issues, or other socially unacceptable behaviours and might be a danger to themselves or the community at large, and that the notification is necessary for keeping the community safe. They are asked not to disclose this. 7. Many are however just average citizens who in the course of going about their day to day jobs, are being used to keep an eye out, and if a flagged TI does come into their vicinity, they are asked to watch, monitor and observe the TI. It’s the way the society is. What are some techniques used against TIs? A few of the most common techniques are listed below. (a) Classical conditioning Getting a TI sensitised to an everyday stimuli. The TI over a period of months, or even years is negatively sensitised to an everyday stimuli, which is then used to harass them. It’s used out in public to let them know they are constantly being harassed and monitored. Some examples of everyday stimulus that might be used include: sounds, colours, patterns, actions. Eg. Red, white, yellow, strips, pens clicking, key jangling, loud coughing, loud whistling, loud smacking of clapping of hands together, cell phones, laptops, etc. (b) Surveillance This will involve flagging and following the TI everywhere they go. Learning about the TI. . Where they shop, work, play, who their friends and family are. Getting close to the TI, moving into the community or apartment where they live, across the street. Monitoring the TI’s phone, house, and computer activity.
Surveillance Policy. http://www.newport.gov.uk/stellent/groups/public/documents/policies_and_ procedures/n_039963.pdf (c) Isolation of said target This is done via reports. The flagging is meant to warn the community, but they act as little more than slander campaigns. They present a one sided assessment of the TI’s behaviour and activity. The TI is never allowed to tell their side of the story or to clear their name. This one sided assessment can include false reports, lies, and legitimate incidents where the TI was set up. Eg. people in the TIs community are told that the TI is crazy, dangerous, a thief, into drugs, a prostitute, paedophile, in trouble for something, needs to be watched. This very flagging in and of itself is capable of creating paranoia, and false interpretation of everyday incidents and can easily eventually drive the TI to breakdown or suicide.
15
These actions might seem harmless to these Citizen Informants, but in reality the actions could be causing great psychological trauma for the TI. Eg. repeatedly blocking target’s path, getting ahead of them in line, cutting or boxing them in on the road, saying or doing things to elicit a response from TI. It’s like the death of a thousand paper cuts. One or two minor incidents will not cause any harm to the TI, but over time the TI is slowly worn down
and sensitised to the point that these ‘small’ incidents become highly damaging. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4612951/Man-jailed-for-whistling-AddamsFamily-theme-tune-at-neighbours.html Where does the support or funding for this come from? Though the systemic harassment that TIs refer to as Gang Stalking is immoral and unethical in nature, programs such as this in democratic countries, and some democratic countries have been funded by the Government. They are often the only ones with enough money, coordination, power and interest to keep such a system in place. These co-ordinated efforts then join hands with others for this systemic form of control and harassment.
Ruling the community http://www.albionmonitor.com/9711b/policing.html “Ruling the community with an iron fist. “Savvy law enforcement types realized that under the community policing rubric, cops, community groups, local companies, private foundations, citizen informants and federal agencies could form alliances without causing public outcry.” Covert Action Quarterly, summer 1997.” WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
1. If you know someone who is being targeted in this way please don’t go along with it. Don’t assume that the person is guilty or a bad person. Many innocent people are currently being targeted, and people who are innocent are being made to look guilty, and people are being told lies. This form of harassment is actually a hate crime and it’s about state control and conformity. The express goal of this harassment is to destroy the individual over time. 2. If you are aware of someone being harassed in this way, subtly direct them to websites that deal with Gang Stalking, or sites for TIs, of which they are many. Knowledge is power. 3. You can subtly suggest that your local newspapers or community papers print articles about TIs or even an write an objective piece about Gang Stalking. 4. If you are a law maker, you can petition for changing the laws. Ensure TIs who are flagged in this way have proper notification letting them know that they are flagged. Convicted criminals have this right, why not TIs? Petition for better oversight of these programs. As it stands Communities are getting away with serious human rights abuses, and complaints are not being heard. Authority figures such as the police in many cases are not taking the reports seriously due to the type of warning markers attached to a TI’s file. 5. If you are a lawyer our community needs lawyers who are skilled in helping TIs access Freedom Of Information files. Lawyers who can help TIs get their files reviewed, or corrected. Lawyers who can work with the existing privacy laws to limit who and where the TIs information is disseminated to. We need human rights lawyers who can address the complaints of abuses that are happening to people listed or flagged in this manner. Illegal surveillance, illegal access of mail and electronic communications, and torture via electronic monitoring.

6. Mental health professionals can recognize that there is illegal harassment happening to individuals who are flagged, listed or have warning markers placed against their names. Community notifications can and do create paranoia within communities. This notification makes TIs prime for harassment, and community mobbing. They can objectively investigate the complaints, and become familiar with the electronic means of monitoring and harassment that are being used. Laws are just starting to catch up to the technology. 7. You can subtly offer your support to someone who is being unfairly treated, even in small ways.

After spending over 10 years mobbed and gang stalked, I can truly say that this is the most evil thing that I have ever seen. I also suspect, but at this stage can not prove that this is probably what triggers much of the bullying in schools, and the mobbing in the workplace, targeting those not taking part in this system. I also believe that this is the beginning of the end time structure. Right now what happens to TIs is their lives are systemically destroyed. People don’t want to work with them etc. The end time structure is not just a mark of a person, it’s also a system were you can not buy, trade, sell without it. This system conditions people to comply, and to harass those who are not complying with this system. Thousands of people are being eliminated from communities, usually those not falling in line. Can you imagine how many innocent people are in jails, institutions, homeless, or committed suicide and so on? Will there ever be an apology? Will they review the files of those in mental wards who claimed that they were being followed around? How does this affect society? Sometimes people wonder why things don't seem to change. One of the main reasons is because of organised harassment which either tries to completely stop change or slow it down. The activities of organised harassment groups slows progress by attacking innocent people and encouraging illegal behaviour. Members of organised harassment groups get bolder with every TI that is taken down. They intend to have anyone who doesn't meet their approval eliminated. Who is safe from organised harassment? No one, not even their own members. These stalkers could select a TI for any reason, real or imagined, superficial or substantial. Members get the inside scoop but like any other gang, they are subject to the leaders' whims and restricted by the groups' activities. Among many other things, a bad break-up, messy divorce, fights between children, disagreements, tense collaborations, or a friend turned enemy can make anyone into a TI. Gang stalking is common in the US with covert targeting by your local sheriff or police department (which deny its existence) using civilian and corporate posses to harass its targets. Infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio, for example, owns 3,000 gang stalkers in his Maricopa County in Arizona (and you thought that $2,800 per home per year go only to schools, libraries and parks). They literally move into homes, apartments and businesses around you from where they use reflective microphones on your windows to listen in. They get your neighbours, coworkers, businesses you frequent, and relationships involved, apparently to solicit their help but really to drive you to isolation. They try to get you fired, or evicted, or coerce you to commit crimes, or frame you for a crime. Just before the explosion in gang stalking in the US in 2008, many new privacy laws were passed to prevent the stalkers from being linked to police, such as many states no longer allowing reverse license plate searches. About 60% to 70% of TIs are women living alone. The more intimidated the target, the more ‘fun’ the game.
Control and Abuse by Proxy The abuser recruits friends, colleagues, mates, family members, the authorities, institutions, neighbours, the media, teachers – in short, third parties – to do his bidding. He uses them to cajole, coerce, threaten, stalk, offer, retreat, tempt, convince, harass, communicate and otherwise manipulate his target. He controls these unaware instruments exactly as he plans to control his ultimate prey. He employs the same mechanisms and devices. He will dump all his props unceremoniously when the job is done.
18
Another form of control by proxy is to engineer situations in which abuse is inflicted upon another person. Such carefully crafted scenarios of embarrassment and humiliation provoke social sanctions (condemnation, opprobrium, or even physical punishment) against the victim. Society, or a social group become the instruments of the abuser. Often the abuser's proxies are unaware of their role. Demonstrate to them how they are being abused, misused, and plain used by the abuser.
Ambient Abuse and Gaslighting The fostering, propagation and enhancement of an atmosphere of fear, intimidation, instability, unpredictability and irritation. There may be no acts of traceable explicit abuse, nor any manipulative settings of control. Yet, the irksome feeling remains, a disagreeable foreboding, a premonition, a bad omen. This is sometimes called "gaslighting". In the long term, such an environment erodes the victim's sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Self-confidence is shaken badly. Often, the victim adopts a paranoid or schizoid stance and thus renders himself or herself exposed even more to criticism and judgment. The roles are thus reversed: the victim is considered mentally deranged and the abuser – the suffering soul. Run! Get away! Ambient abuse can sometime develop into overt and violent abuse and either way can destroy your life. You don't owe anyone an explanation - but you owe yourself a life. Bail out.
