NP Rank:
Anti-'Stalking' Journo Gets (Pending) Justice on Stalking Charge
• NowPublic.com journalist Vic Livingston accuses Falls Township, Bucks County, PA cops of assault, false arrest and imprisonment; considers civil rights lawsuit.
• But first he must find a conscientious defense attorney who won't charge him 10K to clear his good name against what he says are false charges.
UPDATE: Prosecuting police and the original complainant failed to appear for a rescheduled preliminary hearing on Sept. 29. The case was dismissed by a magisterial court judge. An attorney has advised the defendant that police could "re-file" the charges. That would seem to be double jeopardy. Lacking a final disposition, this article appears here in its original form.
GET POLITICAL w/ VIC LIVINGSTON
Falls Township, PA authorities charged me with a crime. By mail. First-degree criminal misdemeanor "stalking." The crime that's been perpetrated against me by the covert, GPS-activated extrajudicial targeting and punishment "matrix" described in my article, "GESTAPO USA."
The crime that has ruined my life for the past five years.
http://nowpublic.com/world/gestapo-usa-govt-funded-vigilante-network-terrorizes-america
Pennsylvania law says that for a criminal misdemeanor stalking charge to be applicable, there must be a demonstrated "course of conduct" or "repeatedly" committed acts or communications, with the "intent to place (another) person" in "reasonable fear" of "bodily injury" or "substantial emotional distress." That's a condensed summary by a non-lawyer; the full statute, and relevant case law, can be found here:
http://www.ncvc.org/src/main.aspx?dbID=DB_Pennsylvania206
I did not commit criminal stalking on evening of June 22, 2009.
That's when I was pulled over while driving my car (which was confiscated and towed); assaulted by a police officer who flung me face-down on the trunk of my car; falsely accused me of "resisting arrest;" handcuffed me so tightly that my wrists ached for a week; did not read me my Miranda rights; kept me confined in a stress position in a parked squad car; threw me into a locked cell for about a half hour; denied me the right to call an attorney or my wife; took fingerprints and mug shots and had me sign three forms; then released me, saying I would be charged by mail with "stalking" (which I was, several days later).
But the "stalking" definition fits what has been done systematically to me for five years, wherever I travel, even out of state.
I am being charged with the very "organized" crime that my articles have exposed. I believe this is an abuse of process, unlawful imprisonment, police misconduct, and quite possibly, entrapment.
All of my telecommunications are subject to not just surveillance, but malicious tampering and interception, including phone calls. Some of my calls seeking assistance have been returned by persons that sound to this veteran journalist like impostors. My important emails typically do not generate a response.
A defense attorney recommended to me by a neighbor who is an attorney wants $2,000 plus costs to represent me at the preliminary hearing, and at least another $7,500 if the case goes to trial, regardless of how much time is spent preparing the case.
So I am still seeking representation -- and I want to pursue a police misconduct case. I have requested a police misconduct investigation in a phone conversation with a deputy district attorney. I have received no response. The local ACLU has said they can't help me; I have found that organization sadly lacking.
My hearing is scheduled for Aug. 18th in Bucks County Magisterial District Court 07-1-10 in Fallsington, PA (subject to postponement if my eventual counsel requires more time).
To my media colleagues: coverage invited. I repeat the request despite the mainstream media's lack of coverage of the nationwide extrajudicial targeting network that, I believe, has purged mainstream journalism of some of its best.
I also take note of the dearth of media coverage about the proliferation of silent, injury- and illness-inducing microwave and laser radiation "directed energy weapons" that have been widely deployed...
... the weaponization of the electromagnetic spectrum, a development every bit as significant as the invention of gunpowder.
http://nowpublic.com/world/zap-have-you-been-targeted-directed-energy-weapon-victims-organized-gang-stalking-say-its-happening-usa
Skilled, ethical defense/civil rights attorneys who can play both defense and offense: please get in touch ASAP.
As for mainstream media coverage of extrajudicial targeting and punishment:
Why are mainstream media journalists AWOL? Our profession, democracy, and the rule of law are in the cross-hairs of a federally-enabled police state.
Prior to this incident, I had never been arrested. Now I'm asked for fork over 10 grand to defend myself against what I consider to be false charges. When I am the victim.
Is this justice? http://NowPublic.com/scrivener

Poll:
1. Vic was stalking.
2. Vic was not stalking.
3. Vic was stalking but is too detached from reality to realize it.
4. Vic wasn't stalking by the legal definition, just acting creepy, but when questioned by the police snapped back with a rude and irrelevant comment, escalating the whole affair.
I got #1.

Vic:
The referees always manage to see the retaliatory actions provoked from my favorite pro football guy and never that of the instigator(s). Sometimes, the "reactions" do not even qualify as "retaliatory", or are less aggrievious than those of the troublemaker(s). I hate when that happens, because it reminds me of the "responsibility diffusion" mechanism inherent in all types of organized stalking.
I would certainly lend a hand, if I could, for your legal defense. Unfortunately my position is not very liquid, at the moment. Isn't that the case with all or most of us?
Maybe you could put up a Paypal button, and start a "fair cause defense" fund for this purpose? You'd probably be well advised to check the TOS agreement of NP before doing so.
Allowing the one journalist who would break rank with the "dark corner" authoritarians to be disallowed the benefit of the "fair shake" that is theoretically available to all of us (on constitutional grounds) would set very poorly with me.
at 05:24 on July 21st, 2009
On it, boss. But you knew that already...
at 06:43 on July 21st, 2009
Vic, I thank you for putting forth this information in such a critically well thought out way. While I interpret a couple of your responses as irregular, your stories hit the nail on the head, much better than many TI's material that I have read. Good luck Vic. I truly wish you the best, you are in my prayers.
at 07:06 on July 21st, 2009
Thank you and God bless. Or, as my people used to say in the Old Country:
"May God bless and keep the Czar...far away from us!"

at 13:19 on July 21st, 2009
So Vic, since you're soliciting legal defense for your case, wouldn't it be appropriate to elaborate on the events of that evening here? (other than what happened while you were being arrested)
at 13:50 on July 21st, 2009
Good thing you didn't go for JAG Corps...
at 17:12 on July 22nd, 2009
Vic, sorry to hear you are up the creek without a paddle yet again.
Just wanted to let you know that I have been heavily zapped myself the past week or so. Are they testing the "directed energy weapons" on full power again? The tone of the ear ringing has changed often and in a very notable manner. It does make one feel like total shyte. Ah, but isn't that just an Auditory Hallucination, you say? Noticed a couple of the Führer's assault troop squads getting restless too.
You know what they say - you can't fight the police state. So, throw yourself on the mercy of the court and they might give you a nice comfortable upper bunk in the Fema camp nearest you. I know, I know, 10k for a good defense/offense is nothing to a high roller like you - but it would save you some money.
at 18:35 on July 22nd, 2009
The NLP screams "batvette." Just how many characters does he portray?
Lame psy ops SECRETS.
BTW, thanks for depositing the IP address. The good people on the inside -- the good people that you frat-boy Nazi types think do not exist -- thank you, too, I am certain.
One more point: Not all police think America should be a "police state." That would be anti-American. To think otherwise is to stereotype; you know, like thinking that a Jew would be too cheap to pay for good defense counsel.
Let me set you straight: I'm innocent, I'm the victim here, I'm being set up, and I am not going to let bastards like you bleed me of resources I don't have. Oh yeah... I also retain some faith in the judicial system. I suppose I will learn shortly if that faith is misplaced. But, "you gotta believe."
I do believe the man got it right when he said, "As ye do to the least of my brothers, so ye do unto me." But I would say that, seeing that he sprung from my tribe.
I hope he shows you some mercy, really I do.
at 13:23 on July 23rd, 2009
So you attack him and call him a "frat boy Nazi".
And if he deposited his IP address, you know he and I are two different people.
Let me set you straight: I'm innocent, I'm the victim here,
If this is the case, why are you reluctant to give a detailed account of what happened that night?
You come here and expect people to put their professional reputations on the line and gain the assistance of legal professionals they might know, don't you think you're going to have to tell your story to them? Is the reason that the story you'd have to tell here to make yourself look anything other than a complete jackhole, is going to be a story that gets you an additional charge for perjory, in court?
***expects to see Vic STILL refuse to elaborate on why he is an "innocent victim" and instead waste plenty of bandwidth on a tirade about me, finishing with dramatic rhetoric about the system and national politics.***
A pice of advice, Vic: your time in court will be short. If you are asked to speak, limit your words to your situation only. Nothing will cause a judge and jury to put a wall between you and them like ranting about "the system".
at 14:49 on July 23rd, 2009
Vic, that's a good example of why Pollytwo and others interpret some of your responses as irregular.
Let me set you straight, with your "frat boy" stereotype and sanctimonious cat scratching. First of all: You don't know me. Second point: why you are collecting IP
addresses? Is that your little lame psy ops SECRET? Third point: You completely misread my comment and went berserk.
I'm innocent too, I'm the victim here too. The crime that's been perpetrated against me has been perpetuated by the extrajudicial targeting and punishment "matrix" for the past decade. My punishment includes: gaslighting, "directed energy weapons" assault, harassment, and "organized stalking". I was sentenced for no reason.
So, what is YOUR game? Perhaps you're dangling the carrot and provocateuring in order to perform "threat assessments"? Could that explain why you're collecting IP addresses?
Your statement: 'not all police think America should be a "police state"' is about as praiseworthy as saying that not all police believe that a large percentage of the public is mentally ill. Now there's a stereotype - if "you gotta believe" something, there you go.
IF your dubious stories are "on the level" about your "extrajudicial targeting and punishment", I wish you nothing but luck with the judicial system.
at 05:28 on July 23rd, 2009
It seems to me that you should google "superlawyers" in Washington D.C. to find a lawyer who'd take your case "pro bono." It seems to me that the Washington Superlawyers have already heard about this extrajudicial, criminal, stalking system; and they'll be happy to go after the US Gov's criminal activity in a suit for a client with the right data. If the superlawyers make it a class action suit that promises to award informant-stalkers a chunk of the gains, they'd get all the data they need.
at 10:08 on July 23rd, 2009
Yes, I'd like to pursue a class action, and what's happened to me and many others could be the basis for such an action.
But first I need local counsel to demonstrate the fact that I did not commit the crime of "stalking" as charged and that insufficient grounds existed to make an arrest that resulted in imprisonment and a criminal charge.
Then, as a secondary local issue, I would like to pursue a police brutality/misconduct case against the local police force that assaulted me and violated my constitutional rights and falsely imprisoned me before issuing the criminal misdemeanor summons.
The problem is that in Bucks County, PA it appears this "matrix" holds "suasion" over much of the community and I am finding it difficult to obtain counsel that I can afford.
The public officials to whom I have appealed have turned a deaf ear thus far. Apparently, police in this county can assault a 59-year-old man with no provocation and not have to worry about an investigation into their conduct.
I have been told that I would not qualify for public defender status, so I have not applied for same (and I am reluctant to go that route for the reason stated above).
Would a D.C.-based firm take up these highly local issues that must be resolved in my favor so that I am not found guilty of a trumped-up charge? I think that is doubtful.
I'm a pretty sophisticated guy who has worked with and around lawyers and law enforcement for my entire career. If I am having such difficulty in this situation, I can only imagine how it must be for those who are less acquainted with "the system."
Any further ideas greatly appreciated.
at 15:16 on July 23rd, 2009
If there were insufficient grounds for arrest in the first place you wouldn't need a defense lawyer to demonstrate that you did not commit the crime, the prosecution would be unable to file charges against you.
The one detail you have divulged is that you were in fact following the car of the "victim" to attain his license plate number. If you know this is one of your "stalkers" why haven't you seized upon this opportunity to reveal them? This person is going to have to appear in court as a witness against you.
What really happened? Were you following someone around you thought was a perp, and it turned out you were completely wrong?
at 19:20 on July 23rd, 2009
A Superlawyer might be able to show that the local police were prejudiced against you and your complaint, because your name was entered into the completely unreliable (GIGO) "stalk-ee" database created by the incompetent Feds who could not prevent the Twin Towers or find WMD in Iraq. A Washington Superlawyer, with a track record of dealing with government incompetence and illegality, probably knows a way of finding out if your local police department is plugged into the federally funded, gangstalking, extrajudicial punishment and torture network.
at 00:54 on July 24th, 2009
I would think the "Superlawyers" would have someone of sufficient legal expertise to realize that the Joint Resolution to Authorize Military Force against Iraq, the sole government document which laid out the justifications for the war in Iraq, had no requirement whatsoever to produce any quantity of WMD after we laid waste to that country. Indeed, the only mention within, relevant to the time of its draft, was:
continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability,
which could be interpreted as a gallon each of bleach and ammonia to find or not find, by persons seeking political capital. This is of course not the topic, but jeez that is such a dumb talking point.... you do realize the we had to attack him BECAUSE BLIX WASN'T GONNA FIND WMD, right? Thus the sanctions end, we go home, within a year two nations who were his biggest arms suppliers and a third that is the thirstiest industrialized nation on the planet (oilwise) see their pumps come online and all the proceeds go into Saddam's pocket- He's selling it in Euros, the Iranians, Venezuelans and several other OPEC nations all join in and in a month the dollar slides 90% against all other currencies, the Royal Saudi family is overthrown and Saddam controls the straits of Hormuz. Oh, and in he middle of that somewhere Iraq and Israel start WW3 when Israel gets tired of SCUDs getting lobbed at them by Saddam, who wants all the other Arabs to join in.
YES WMD was a LIE. You'd have let all the above happen and blamed Bush for not stopping it.
at 04:30 on July 24th, 2009
When the US leaves Iraq, as we will, who will gain from our war?. It will be Iran. In other words, our Dear Leaders made 4,000 patriotic soldiers die to fight a war that created a stronger Iran. Iraq is mostly Shia and so is Iran; both countries will end up working together to become a greater threat in the Mideast. The presence of the so-called biological weapons was a trumped up pretext for invading a country that was not a threat to us. Saddam kept a power balance in the region; Iran was afraid of him. Do you get it? We wasted billions on destroying Iraq, while ignoring al Qaeda, which was, and remains, a real threat to the US that wants to nuke our cities. As for those terrible biological weapons that you think we had to destroy -- Terry McVeigh managed to find them at WalMart.
To find out some of the real reasons we went to war in Iraq, read Honorable John Hostettler's book, "Nothing for the Nation." Congressman Hostettler served on the House Intelligence Committee, so he just might know more than you do about the behind-the-scenes reasons for going to war.
You've got to wake up, batvette, the world is not the way you think it is.
at 20:53 on July 24th, 2009
#1. This "congressman hostettler knows more than you" appeal to authority argument is utter nonsense and as silly as they get. He has an opinion and so do I and so do you. It is hardly my opinion alone that part of the reason we had to remove Saddam was that he threatened US dollar hegemony of the world petroleum markets, and an immediate shift to the Euro in any significant amount would lead to a dollar selloff with catastrauphic results.
#2.Saddam kept a power balance in the region? Are you seriously arguing that it was in the best interests of our national security (read, dependence on Persian Gulf Petroleum) to have a madman in power with a lust for regional conquest? Funding over 120 terrorist actions against Israel from 2000-2003? He was creating chaos in the region, NOT promoting stability in any way, shape nor form, and while a unified Shia populace may not be in our best interest, the two nations are not about to unite.
In the vein of the war on terror let me ask you this: How many foreign born terrorists have our forces killed in Iraq since the end of declared hostilities? Your camp, and thus assuming you, are going to say "none" because you don't know or you'll say it's insignificant because Al Qaeda got stronger or we ignored them. That seems to be a very closely guarded figure by the Pentagon, but I believe by 2006 or 2007 the number of insurgents killed was at about 25,000+, we can assume the rate continued for two more years so a conservative figure of about 33,000 by now. They estimate 10% of those were foreign fighters who came to Iraq expressly for the chance to kill Americans.
Well let me tell you something you seem to forget about Al Qaeda when you say going into Iraq ignored them, Where is their homeland? Where would you like us to look for them? YOU CAN'T look for them, and you couldn't do a damn thing anyway because Al Qaeda aren't anything but angry Muslims until they strap on a bomb to commit an act of terrorism. Most don't have criminal records and even if they did we can't exrtradite them. So I ask again, what do you mean by ignore them?
You have one solution. Put an irresistable target within their reach, and let them take their shot and do your best to control the damage when they do. Al Qaeda is like a bunch of rats. You don't chase rats, you trap them- with an irresistable bait. like a potential homeland for themselves, that the great satan cannot control. In other words, we sandbagged it in Iraq on purpose, for several reasons.
Back to Rep. Hostettler: He is a politician, every damn one of them lies, and he's going to have an agenda. I am not and have no allegience to any party, am a social liberal but lean right on foreign affairs. I am pro choice, anti capital punishment, pro social services, don't like guns, so it's safe to say I have no home with the GOP. I think this makes my opinion far more qualified than that of any politician.
at 21:18 on July 24th, 2009
BTW, Hostettler had a chair on the Armed Services committee, not Select Intelligence, but let me show you an excerpt from his website which shows obvious indication his book, if not his original opposition to the war, is clearly motivated for political aspirations:
As one of six Republicans in the United States House of Representatives (the House) who voted against the October 2002 resolution to allow the president to invade Iraq, I believe the Iraq invasion is a precedent that conservatives, specifically, and Americans, in general, will come to regret one day. Given the probability of a progressive Democrat victory in the race for the White House in 2008, that day is likely closer than we think. The reason for the likelihood is progressivism by definition finds new justification for government action of all sorts. Why would we think the exercise of military action is immune from this evolutionary approach to public policy? It follows that what conservatives, specifically, and even Americans in general may consider is not a proper justification of expenditure of blood and treasure tomorrow may be entirely in keeping with the next cause de jour for the future President Clinton or President Obama or President Edwards, etc. Any conservative opposition to a progressive commander-in-chief's military foray will undoubtedly be answered with quotations uttered during the build up to and execution of the Iraq conflict. These quotations would be supplied from the floor speeches of prominent Republican congressmen and senators or similarly related passages from the transcripts of conservative radio-talk-show hosts.
He knows sucking up to anti-war liberals will be key to ever winning his seat back that he lost in 2006, or a Senate position he is rumoured to be eyeing in 2010.
His original opposition is that Saddam wasn't an "immediate threat" to the United States physical security, and you might notice I never once claimed he was. He was a regional threat, and in a region including five nations which between them have two thirds of the world's proven conventional petroleum reserves, when the US has to import two thirds of its daily 21 million barrels for its very existence, that makes him a threat to our national security that was too dangerous to be allowed to rearm- never mind the as described threat to the dollar and our economy.
Furthermore Hostettler is a staunch pro-lifer...... who walks around with a loaded Glock in his briefcase, and tries to get on commercial airline flights with it. LOL, really, just LOL.
at 15:46 on July 25th, 2009
The irresistible target, as you put it, should have been placed in Saudi Arabia -- the ones who flew the planes into the Twin Towers. You're easily duped cannon fodder, batvette. You're one of the robots whofall for the lies that the politicians use to send them to battle.
at 15:52 on July 27th, 2009
Nobody told this one Osama Bin Laden was banished from Saudi Arabia years ago...... his actions were certainly not on behalf of his former country... never mind the Royal Saudi Family are one of our strongest allies, and we owe them for the bulk of our economic prosperity since 1973.
I've sat here and given you several clearly before unstated reasons for the invasion of Iraq, yet after you show how clueless you are about our relationship with KSA, you go on and make patronizing remarks about my supposed ignorance and gullibility in the matter.
I'm sorry, where did I say we went to war because Saddam possessed stockpiles of WMD?
You might think that passed for a rebuttal, it just showed you'd rather attempt cheap one-upsmanship than discuss policy in a mature manner. Look at my posts, they consist entirely of talking points about the isssues- I don't need to attempt to discredit anyone to present an argument.
But if one-upsmanship is what you seek, you fell short, you PHAIL, unless you can show me prewar statements from a politician to us "robots" that we were going into Iraq to prevennt Saddam from establishing a petroeuros market, or to lure Al Qaeda in to attack our soldiers.
hehe.. I'll take 'em as I gets 'em.
at 18:39 on July 27th, 2009
*We* went to war against Iraq because we needed to use our stockpiled weapons and test our new weapons on an industrialized nation.
Not a big question mark.
at 00:13 on July 28th, 2009
The first point sounds like a winner to me. Not as a sole rationale, but when they were stacking up all the reasons, that had to be a factor.
Too bad they didn't have more forested land, lots of napalm out our way beginning to rupture in their casings.......
at 15:47 on July 26th, 2009
Vic, if what you say about your arrest is true, as a victim of this crap, you were convicted *before* you were arrested.
I say if you are a real victim, good luck to you, you'll need it.
at 16:58 on July 26th, 2009
Sounds like I have more faith in the judicial system than you do; thanks.
at 17:23 on July 26th, 2009
I hope you are right in your faith, but actual experience on my part makes this not look good, in a conspiratorial view of those involved.
at 04:37 on July 27th, 2009
Yes, but the would-be "conspirators" are under the microscope as well, I have reason to believe...
at 11:05 on July 27th, 2009
I would have a lot more faith in a legitimate judicial system than an illegitimate alternative judicial system too.
at 19:37 on August 2nd, 2009
I have almost since the beginning referred to this as the vampire routine. The perps commit the crime and blame the target. This strategy is indicated in the methodology of either mobbing or psychological harassment, I don't remember which. I had seen a movie in which the criminal shot himself and blamed it on the innocent person. In my situation, the anchors involved, had managed to arrive at locations before me. Recently, at my bank there was actually a look alike of an anchor. She was standing in front of the building -- just standing -- which has been the case in a multitude of situations including the post office (computer monitoring). I don't know where they find these people - they most conduct casting calls. In the literature it indicates that the targets moves are known -- probably partially via the continuous 24/7 surveillance, wire tape, computer hacking and electronic surveillance. My situation also involves extensive use of cell phones to harass me -- I found an interesting piece on criminal codes and the use of cell phones in this manner. I'll try to email it to you. I've sent you several emails -- at this time even my Facebook page has been corrupted. I'm also finding physical symptoms -- talcum powder taste and other physical manifestations occurring.
If you can win the first part of this action, you may be able to take action for personal injury for emotional distress, etc. A good personal injury attorney can be helpful?
at 17:57 on August 3rd, 2009
Some of the recent posters are painting TIs as mentally ill, just as our stalkers would have it.
The fact of the matter is that we are not mentally ill, but have been aggressively and expertly gaslighted by our tormentors to the point that some of us would readily believe that we are, in fact, mentally ill. Some of us have probably sought psychological help because of the gas lighting, never realizing what was really going on.
The torture matrix, as Vic calls it, has been set up throughout the land. Every establishment where people congregate is a potential hot spot where the brownshirt stormtroopers can assault their targets. It has been my experience that supermarkets are one of the brownshirts very favorite sniping spots.
Make no mistake about it, when checkout personnel are instructed to verbally harass certain customer TIs in the checkout lines, we in this country have what amounts to an underground, illicit, illegal, extra-judicial correctional system. The system is totally corrupt. But the harassment and torment does not end in the checkout lines, it extends into our homes, where our phones provide open microphones, via Echelon, for corrupt government personnel to eavesdrop on.
I have had my phone conversations later recited by agents at various locations, as part of their harassment protocol. Make no mistake, they wanted me to know that they were, in fact, reciting my earlier conversation. This eavesdropping system has been in operation for a long time.
Okay Batvette, now I'm going to go watch a Clockwork Orange - I know that's some of your favorite pornography.
