Gang Stalking: Conversation with Sheriff Mack
Sheriff Richard Mack came to my attention because of his public statements regarding fidelity to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I wondered how the former elected Sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, would react to the nationwide blight of gang stalking, and the FBI's unwillingness to address the issue in the face of countless complaints by TI's (well over a dozen I have personally communicated with made numerous, futile attempts to get the FBI involved in investigating gang stalking).
I sent Mack an email with links to information about gang stalking. I highlighted the KENS-5 San Antonio News story about gang stalking because Mack is running for a Congressional seat that includes a large portion of San Antonio. After several follow up calls to Mack and his staff I received an email response from Mack yesterday:
I looked at the story and find it alarming and unbelievable. I am not sure it falls under the jurisdiction of Congress to resolve this. I know a very good sheriff candidate for Bexar County Sheriff who should look at this. It is a law enforcement concern. I'd be willing to discuss your concerns anytime.
I called Mack and left a message with his staff. He promptly called me back that same day. In our conversation, Mack was candid and interested in providing me with answers and suggestions. He was surprised that, given the information he was provided on gang stalking, the issue was not receiving more attention in the media or by law enforcement.
One of the questions I put to him was based on the belief that the FBI's lack of response to targeted individuals' complaints is based on the FBI's involvement in a Counterintelligence Program related to gang stalking. I asked Mack, "Have you ever been told to stop an investigation by the FBI because there was an ongoing federal investigation, because I'm getting the feeling that's what is going on here?" He answered "No, but I'm aware of cases in which other Sheriff's have been told that." I believe Mack was being sincere and thoroughly truthful.
I asked Mack what, based on his experience, was the best advocacy option for targets of gang stalking. He said that the issue should be brought to the attention of Sheriffs' associations and Police Chief's associations. The best way to do this, he said, was to have targeted individuals write an informational letter about gang stalking to their local Sheriff and Police Chief. This could be done by drafting a letter and having it signed by a number of targets in a given jurisdiction. I believe that Mack's advice is some of the best I've heard in my years of gang stalking awareness advocacy.
FFCHS at freedomfchs.com, lists contact information for local area TI support groups in its newsletter, these include: Massachusetts, L.A., the Bay area, the Greater New York area, Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas, Tucson, Denver, Louisiana, etc.
Here is a sample, form letter that I think will be helpful:
Dear Sheriff (or Police Chief):
There is a growing, nationwide criminal trend that is occurring in your jurisdiction of ( ). This crime involves the violation of civil rights of numerous individuals in your jurisdiction and nationwide. Victims of this crime have labeled it gang stalking. This crime has yet to be meaningfully addressed by either federal or local authorities. The undersigned are victims who are currently targeted by the crime and are seeking relief. The information below will give you a good overview of the problem. We thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to contacting you after you have had a chance to review the materials:
Here are some DOJ statistics that were obtained through the FOIA on the subject of gang stalking:

The County Sheriff: America's Last Hope Sheriff Richard Mack............................... "Sheriff Mack's latest book covers decades of research to prove once and for all that the sheriffs in this country are indeed the ultimate law authority in their respective jurisdictions.

I am just starting to inform people that help is comming. I am posting on my blog the 47 page list of crimes I have been living with for three years. This was written AFTER the NSA has been watching my case for more than six months. My evidence is locked safely away with them. It takes time, just time because they have to cross the line and they will because they know they need to. Just read my report and you will see why they have to help us. God Speed, Bernadette Irr

This is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse.
The Natonal Sheriff's Association is a prime promoter of vigilante, lawless gangstalking and every sheriff in the USA knows all about it.
An "informational letter" from "targets"? Give me a frickin' break.
The great truth revealed in this story is that the dirty feds who, along with Lockheed Martin, run the gangstalking Gestapo, wave off locals with the "federal investigation" Big Lie.
Some links to put in the letter, which will go directly into the circular file:

P.S. Let it be noted here that today is Thursday, April 5. I check NowPublic every day to see if there are new stories about the American fed-cop Gestapo. This is the first time I am seeing this article.
It is obvious that my internet pages are being spoofed, counterfeited by the Lockheed Martin/USG censorship regime and that my internet connection is intercepted in real-time and maliciously, unconstitutionally "edited" by these cyberNazis -- paid by U.S. taxpayer dollars.
THIS IS A MAJOR SCANDAL IN AND OF ITSELF -- MULTIBILLIONS WASTED ON CYBER-CENSORSHIP WITCH-HUNTS.
And now these fascist bastards are blocking this comment from posting with a spoofed message saying I did not wait "five seconds" before posting a second comment -- another Big Lie from the fascist morons at Lockheed Martin, apparently acting under USG supervision.

The thing that I've learned about cops is that many of them are very good liars. They'll look you straight in the eye, tell a lie, and not give it a second thought. Lying is second nature, so was Mack lying? When it seems clear that those in law enforcement are well aware of gang stalking, why are we to believe that Sheriff Richard Mack is any different? What was he going to say? "Sure, I know all about it." I'd like to believe that Mack is on the up 'n up but, given the clear involvement of law enforcement, it's very hard to believe that he's not in the know.

Lying is the major characteristic of EVERYONE involved in the invention, implementation, and coverup of Gangstalking. A lot of "lawmen" are no different than criminals; they're basically killers at heart who had enough smarts to get a badge to excuse their killing.
at 19:05 on April 5th, 2012
Though I respect the cautious skepticism of several of the posters related to lawmen and Mack, I have some thoughts for you to consider. Most dictatorships and all Communist countries have historically disarmed their citizens. This is the perfection of the monopoly of violence in the hands of the state. The Second Amendment stands as a bulwark against this preemptive strike against the idea of a serious people's revolt. Richard Mack was a lead plaintiff in a case that went all the went to the U.S. Supreme Court that helped to preserve your right and mine to lawfully bear arms without undue restraint of a tyrannical federal government:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printz_v._United_States
at 13:05 on April 6th, 2012
The Second Amendment and gun ownership mean NOTHING when the U.S. government, via military contractor Lockheed Martin's operational command and control, can precision-target ANY American citizen under its surveillance blanket with an electromagnetic radio frequency cell tower weapon attack that can instantly impair their vision; inflict pain; cause unbearable ear-ringing head pain; induce symptoms akin to Alzheimer disease; cause instant stroke, aneurysm, heart palpitations or heart attack or even instant death.
Let me repeat:
GUNS ARE NO DEFENSE AGAINST A GOVERNMENT THAT IS SILENTLY, INVISIBLY, INVADING THE MINDS OF ITS PEOPLE AND IMPAIRING THEIR PHYSICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL FUNCTIONING, TO THE POINT OF DISABLEMENT.
The gun crowd should be lobbying for a ban against this domestic weapon system, camouflaged as "surveillance" and "The National Broadband Initiative." Read this veteran journalist's report here:

Unfortunately, all the emails, etc, of ""real people" allowed to post here are also under the full lid. Your articles, it seems, are restricted -- your articles make it to the google database -- but the comments of readers to those articles are not always included. Yes, we're writing primarily for each other and for the amusement of the shortsighted moral cretins who are turning America into George Orwell's novel, 1984. The "shoot-yourself-in-the-foot-gang" is placing the full lid censorship across all of American society and has established the invisible electromagnetic/microwave prison for ALL Americans. The CFR "dons" and their Pentagon "enforcers" are doing this under the name of ensuring "national security" of course. It's "national" security, all right -- security for the One Percent Investment Class. It's the new Feudalism.
at 11:25 on April 9th, 2012
Yeah, I'm basically writing for the archetypical good guy fed agent who is conscientious enough to do the right thing, and smart enough to figure out a way to do without without destroying his/her career and family. He or she is out there; I can't be the only one who thinks that silent, invisible electromagnetic assault, torture, impairment, injury, subjugation, slow-kill murder and the accompanying vigilante stalking, home intrusions, vandalism, poisoning, is wrong (not to mention criminal and inhumane).
at 12:53 on April 20th, 2012
the invisible electromagnetic/microwave prison for ALL Americans.
Invisible but hardly undectable. If cell towers are emitting any microwave signals they aren't supposed to this will be easily documented with commonly available test equipment used in the industry. I'm not denying technology is being used on us, I believe it is being used on me. I'm saying Scriveners claims seem intentionally ridiculous and meant for people to spread and be discredited for.
The CFR "dons" and their Pentagon "enforcers"
Oh so now it's the Council on Foreign Relations and the Military. Is there any entity under the sun you people have missed wildly speculating who it is, every time you do so destroying any bit of credibility you may have left?
Let me break the news to you: Seeing people locally that you think are following you, or harming you in some way, and concluding they are controlled by David Rockefeller's think tank and work for the Pentagon, is a fast ticket to being labelled as suffering from persecutory delusions and I can't say they'd be wrong by doing so.

Guns are worthless in this fight. You can't shoot at what you can't see -- that is, the Psychopaths' nationwide network of directed energy weapons. I guess the towers could be taken down, though. As for the satellite stuff -- I don't know. It's something for the techies to think about.
at 10:20 on April 9th, 2012
It's like nukes -- disarm and dissemble the weapon system. Many of the cell towers are proprietary to the electromagnetic weapon system, but in some cases, the weapon system is co-located with consumer cellular and broadband equipment as a means of camouflage -- hiding in plain sight, the specialty of agencies and commands that deal in stealth assaults on citizens and slow-kill genocide. (U.S. Patent 7629918, Raytheon). See "US. Silently Tortures" at http://VicLivingston.blogspot.com
And in a related development:
Vic Livingston/Scrivener censored from Facebook after attempted comments about upcoming movie comedy "Neighborhood Watch"
NOTE: This post was TAKEN DOWN shortly after I attempted to publish it here. Second attempt...
The fascist censorship regime run by Lockheed Martin under USG contract apparently is blocking me from Facebook. I was on the site this morning with no problem -- until I posted several comments referring to the real-time censorship regime's interception, censorship and malicious tampering with my computing and internet content -- specifically, my comments to NYTimes.com and ShowBiz411.com about a possible delay in the release of a new movie comedy called "Neighbohood Watch," which depicts its citizen volunteers as hate-motivated vigilantes. At that point, I could not get back into Facebook, and received a full-screen message saying my account has been "temporarily suspended" due to "suspicious activity" -- someone supposedly "phishing" for my password.
When I tried again to access my Facebook page, I got an apparently phony "confirm your identity" page that displays photos from pages of several "friends" that apparently are phony "avatars" for military contractor psyops agents -- whom I did not "friend" on Facebook. Most of the pictures are of children and pets. I am being asked to "identify" the pictures. I have no idea who these people are, nor would the REAL Facebook expect that I would. THIS IS MORE CENSORSHIP VIA FRAUD AND DECEPTION. This censorship regime is both brazen and ineptly transparent. IT MUST BE TAKEN DOWN AT ONCE. Are any responsible insiders reading this? Today it's me -- tomorrow it could be you, or someone close to you, that is targeted by this iron-fisted, fascist censorship.
Lockheed apparently is censoring me under the false pretext of trying to protect my account. Typical "turn it around" malicious censorship via fraud and deception -- as I have exposed here -- the likely reason these fascist control freaks are blocking me from Facebook:
LOCKHEED MARTIN RUNS DRACONIAN CENSORSHIP REGIME FOR U.S. AGENCIES/COMMANDS -- INTERCEPTS, CENSORS, TAMPERS WITH TELECOMMUNICATIONS OF EXTRAJUDICIALLY 'TARGETED' AMERICANS, LEAVING THEM VULNERABLE TO I.D. THEFT, FRAUD, SAYS VETERAN JOURNALIST:
http://nowpublic.com/world/u-s-govt-censors-internet-political-speech-fraud-deception
http://nowpublic.com/world/u-s-govt-uses-spoofed-web-pages-and-urls-censor-internet
at 11:07 on April 9th, 2012
Now the cyberNazis of Lockheed Martin are asking me via spoofed, counterfeit Facebook page to "identify this person" as a means to reactivate my account, which they apparently are censoring via fraud and deception. The pictures this time are of LANDSCAPES and POLITICAL POSTERS, and the choices are names of phony military contractor psyops avatars that have "friended" me on Facebook without my input or consent.
THIS IS COMMUNIST CHINA- STYLE CENSORSHIP VIA LAME MILITARY CONTRACTOR PSYOPS. WHAT A HUGE SQUANDERING OF TAXPAYER BILLIONS.

Ok, Peacefrog, but don't forget that the filthy rich Central Banking & Global Totalitarians fund "groups" and "leaders" on both sides of every political equation -- they can afford to. They have the time, the money, and the motive to do it. And they have total control of the media. They are playing for keeps -- for owning everything -- you, your mind, your money, and your children. Ultimately they control your life and death by the wars and diseases they start. They are Satanic.

You wanted my comment on this article here it is:
and the FBI's unwillingness to address the issue in the face of countless complaints by TI's (well over a dozen I have personally communicated with made numerous, futile attempts to get the FBI involved in investigating gang stalking).
Now why would he contact this person with accounts of people he's "personally communicated with" while withholding any mention of crimes which allegedly happen to him as well? Just like Ted Gunderson who claimed to be a TI too but whenever the subject was formally discussed by him, especially when in writing, he always demurred to hearsay he related from others, which avoids being instantly discredited when your own story is vapor.
(which is why it's surely no coincidence Keith Labella was so determined to get Gunderson's ridiculous conspiracy theory/satanic cults secret child auctions slant on gang stalking to be accepted as factual and even had it submitted on record into the legal system)
You're not a TI, you're posing as one and publishing prolific disinformation mixed with falsely hopeful signs of activism to mislead real TI's while you actively recruit the mentally ill to join them which helps provide cover for whatever program is going on.
I don't care how bad my person is maliciously maligned for coming out and saying this, I'm not going to stand by in silence while an obvious charletan is operating with this kind of transparent audacity.
at 05:53 on April 13th, 2012
I, unlike yourself, have read Gunderson's numerous complaints to federal, state and local officials. I've also listened to his lectures. He gave ample details of his own harassment. I have also stated details of my harassment in complaints I made in the past to authorities. They are not listening because this is a federal Counterintelligence Program. You are attempting to solicit personal narratives to discredit targets by your own admission. I sent my materials on gang stalking to Sheriff Richard Mack who is currently running for a Congressional seat in Texas. Based on his decades of law enforcement experience, he found that my materials evidenced a concerning crime trend. He, a career law man, believed in the gang stalking problem, while you a self-proclaimed "target" make every attempt to discredit gang stalking and its victims. YOU ARE NO TARGET, YOU ARE FULL OF SHYTE. YOUR REPUTATION IS THAT OF A DISINFORMATION ARTIST.
at 20:19 on April 15th, 2012
I have also stated details of my harassment in complaints I made in the past to authorities.
SURE you have, which is why you've been asked pointedly how "gang stalking" affects you personally and refuse to talk about it. You have this mantra about how the feds are in on it because they won't investigate it, yet can only make this allegation vaguely and not by first hand experience.
You are attempting to solicit personal narratives to discredit targets by your own admission.
More of your nonsense, YOU have been repeatedly queried about the peculiarity of having no personal account of your own to tell while you spread disinfo which misleads targets. Do not try and solicit group sympathy when it's YOUR story that's fishy. My statement about this is I'll take each person's story one at a time when it comes to discrediting anyone. It does not mean I am on a mission to discredit everyone but that you cannot hide the fishy nature of your activities by pretending to be the whole community.
Based on his decades of law enforcement experience, he found that my materials evidenced a concerning crime trend. He, a career law man, believed in the gang stalking problem,
Sure he did, which is why you quote him as saying:
I looked at the story and find it alarming and unbelievable.
All you've done is provide evidence of the level of lies and insulting peoples' intelligence you will stoop to in your role of agent provocateur to discredit real TI's who try to point out the disinformation campaign you're running. Real TI's reading this, if you want "he said, she said", Why did he just assume you were too stupid to read and claim "he believed (it)" when his own article quotes him as saying it was unbelievable?
Disinfo 101: say ANY thing at any given moment, even if it's opposite of what you claimed yesterday, to get the targets running around in circles.
at 05:30 on April 16th, 2012
YOU are quoting him out of context slimebag. I had a conversation with him in which he clarified his email, and added, that he could not believe the media and law enforcement were not giving this issue more attention.
You are an obvious disinformation agent. Your agenda, clear to anyone with half a brain, is to discredit targets and minimize gang stalking and pretend to be a victim.
at 17:21 on April 19th, 2012
YOU are quoting him out of context slimebag. I had a conversation with him in which he clarified his email, and added, that he could not believe the media and law enforcement were not giving this issue more attention.
This is supposed to be comedy, right? Your argument I took something out of context is formed around additional information allegedly provided to you verbally, and was never mentioned by you in this article.
Again, real targets should be outraged by the insult to ones' intelligence inherent to this guy's tactics he stoops to when attacking the person of anyone daring to challenge his disinformation stream.

Another covert program that many might describe as "alarming and unbelievable" is MKULTRA. "Alarming and unbelievable", but true. I dare say that most people, even victims of OS/GS, would describe it as "alarming and unbelievable."=========================en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKULTRA-----------Project MKULTRA, or MK-ULTRA, was the code name for a covert, illegal CIA human experimentation program, run by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence. This official U.S. government program began in the early 1950s, continued at least through the late 1960s, and used U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects.-------- The published evidence indicates that Project MKULTRA involved the use of many methodologies to manipulate individual mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.-------- Project MKULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKULTRA files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms' destruction order.-------- In 1977, a Freedom Of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKULTRA, which led to Senate hearings later that same year. In July 2001 most information regarding MKULTRA has been officially declassified.

Another program that might have been described as "alarming and unbelievable" is COINTELPRO. "Alarming and unbelievable", but true. ==================================================en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO----------------------COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveiling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.======== COINTELPRO tactics included discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; and illegal violence, including assassination. Covert operations under COINTELPRO took place between 1956 and 1971; however, the FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception. The FBI's stated motivation at the time was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order."======== FBI records show that 85% of COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI deemed "subversive,"...(and the list continues).======== FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" the activities of these movements and their leaders.
at 18:22 on April 19th, 2012
So how is an official policy which was used against actual subversives supposed to prove what most "gang stalking victims" claim? I think you're falling into the trap of thinking "anything I can find which sounds vaguely like what we're claiming shows precedent of what we're claiming" and not only won't it but it could be a liability toward credibility. If you approached most of the general public at the time COINTELPRO was active and told them it was being used to protect them from the Black Panthers and Communists, guess what? They'd be all for it and give it the gold stamp of approval!
COINTELPRO went after actual threats to national security.
Are you a:
Black Panther?
Communist?
Anti-War subversive?
A Terrorist?
None of the above, right? So why claim to be a victim of COINTELPRO? It could only possibly qualify you as someone deserving to be targeted.
But what piqued my interest was this thing about "psychological warfare". I checked wiki's reference and it doesn't support the claims the editor made, so I created a section on it on the talk page before I correct it. All it says was that false media pieces were printed up and and shown to family, friends, landlords, etc. It never said they were "strong armed" or any of that. The disinfo machine at work again, scare the hell out of people making them think things are happening that aren't. ( that is not to reflect upon you, you just c/p'd the text without checking deeper)

WOW, you checked Govermentpedia and all you found regarding "psychological warfare" related to COINTELPRO was some "media pieces".
Try reading the Church Committee Reports. Try reading some books like Many are the Crimes and The COINTELPRO Papers. Try reading some of the FOIA cases like Hayden, Oglesby, King, Ferguson, etc. Too lazy for that, try renting the film United States versus John Lennon. You will learn about psychological warfare buddy.
