Are you really crazy or are you being
gang-stalked?
January 6, 2006
For several days in a row, when doing errands in your car, you
consistently come in contact with drivers who tailgate you, cut you off in
traffic, or maybe pull out in front of you unexpectedly. Or you go out to get your mail and see
someone sitting on a bicycle watching you from a distance. Or maybe you notice a sudden increase in
strange cars driving slowly past your home.
Or you get the feeling you are being followed but don’t see anyone
there. Or you find garbage strewn on
your lawn or piles of dirt where dirt shouldn’t be. Or you return to your home and notice that
pictures or knick knacks aren’t where they were when you left.
Is this all just coincidental or is there something more to
it? You might even wonder if you just
have an over-active imagination or if maybe you’ve slipped a few cogs upstairs.
Over the past ten years, a phenomenon has become apparent that
more recently has been given a name:—gang-stalking, also known as
group-stalking, vigilante-stalking and predatory gang-stalking.
Over a period of time gang-stalking has produced some
commonalities among those targeted or victimized:
1. The target is likely seen as a threat to a cause;
2. The target most likely does not know the perpetrators [1] of the gang-stalking;
3. Those involved in the gang-stalking do not know the target;
4. Those involved in the gang-stalking do not necessarily know why
they are gang-stalking an individual;
5. The stalking is subtle but targeted and can be seen as
inconsequential or every-day such as …
a. drive-by honking of horns,
b. drive-by yelling of obscenities,
c. hand gestures generally considered to be hostile in nature;
d. vehicles stopping and standing on the street in front of the
target’s home;
e. trash strewn on the target’s lawn, driveway and property in such
manner as to make it obvious that it was a deliberate act;
f. shining lights in the windows of the target’s home;
g. an increase in noise in the area of the target’s home;
h. tailgating the target then dropping back repeatedly;
i.
sending the target messages that let
the target know they are being watched such as …
i.
the names of family pets;
ii. the names of children;
iii. stores visited frequently;
iv. schools the children attend;
j.
day-in and day-out hang-up calls or
wrong number calls;
k. vandalism to the home or property of the target;
l.
graffiti in proximity to the target’s
home;
6. The gang-stalking takes place over a period of time or number of
years;
7. The faces of those involved in gang-stalking change frequently but
the perpetrators often remain constant.
The intent of gang-stalking is to …
1. render the target, the victim, psychologically demoralized even to
the point of committing suicide;
2. make the target appear, to the larger community, to be mentally
unstable for the purposes of …
a. discrediting and psychologically demoralizing the target;
b. ensuring no one will believe the target when they claim they are
being targeted;
3. alienate and marginalize
the target from the larger community, even family, making it easier to
psychologically demoralize and discredit the target.
The number of reported incidences of gang-stalking has increased
measurably since the early 1990’s when the transformation of American society
to systems philosophy began in earnest.
Gang-stalking holds no political association with those targeted
covering the political spectrum of liberal, centrist, conservative, ultra-left
and ultra-right. People involved in
gang-stalking display a common trait of needing to feel that they have power
over the target even though they may not know that person.
Group dynamics, how individuals interact in a group, a general
need of an individual for human contact and interaction, plays a key role in
the structure of gang-stalking.
One high-ranking law enforcement official, on the condition of
anonymity, has stated that …
1. law enforcement is under strict orders that they are to ignore all
cases of gang-stalking, and if possible to provide evidence that the victim is
mentally deranged or deficit; and
2. the criminal justice system is
strictly under the control of a small elite who ensure that no charges are
pressed against the instigators of gang-stalking.
Gang-stalking relies heavily on …
1. the target becoming so psychologically demoralized that he/she
believes there must be something wrong with him/her and is, therefore, afraid
to say anything for fear others will think them crazy;
2. the target will have no evidence beyond his/her word that the
gang-stalking is happening;
3. the target will have no detailed records or documentation showing
what, when, where, and to what extent;
4. the target will not be able to
find out who the perpetrators are or those involved in the gang-stalking.
Anyone who believes they are being gang-stalked should …
1. Keep detailed records and documentation of times, dates, and
details; making those records as soon as the incident is apparent so details
are not lost over time.
2. Take pictures of any evidence left by the perpetrators making sure
to include a point of reference in the picture for identification
purposes. For instance, if trash is
strewn on the lawn, take close ups but then take pictures showing the house,
garage, or even a car in the picture as a point of reference that the garbage
was actually where you claim it was.
3. Keep detailed records of any interaction with law enforcement;
even when law enforcement are friendly and appear to be empathetic. Keep track of who the responding officer is,
what department he works for, what he tells you, what he does. If he removes evidence from the scene, note
how he handles it, what he does with it.
Know the procedures for preserving evidence and observe if the officer
follows those procedures. Write it all
down so details aren’t lost over time.
Ask for an event number and incident number.
4. If you believe you are being gang-stalked, get a psychological
evaluation immediately. This establishes
that you are mentally stable when those involved and law enforcement try to
intone that you are somehow mentally deranged.
5. If you believe you are being gang-stalked, don’t be afraid to
speak up. There was a time when people
being stalked were not listened to, were considered to be off in the head. Now stalking someone is a crime. The more who speak up, the better chance
there is that gang-stalking will not continue to operate under the radar.
To learn more about gang-stalking, enter the term in your internet
search engine. There are several good
websites, and more coming every day, with information on gang-stalking. Support groups are also being formed to help
people who have been the victims of this heinous dehumanizing act.

participate in the activities targeted at the victim, but stay in the
background unseen.
