Gang Stalking FOIA and COINTELPRO: A Comparative Analysis
I am writing this article as a sample Freedom of Information Act request. I am encouraging anyone who is a victim of gang stalking, or, is concerned about someone who is to write to the FBI and make a FOIA request to find out what they know about this mass movement.
TO: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Attention: “FOIA Request” Record Information/Dissemination Section
170 Marcel Drive
Winchester, VA 22602-4843
I hereby request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act the following information:
1. Any information in FBI’s records, whether in print, audio, digital, or, any other form or format including electronic records (hereafter “FBI records”) related to the national phenomenon of gang stalking.
2. “Gang Stalking” is known by other synonymous names/terms including, but not limited to: community stalking, group stalking, organized stalking, cause stalking, revenge stalking, vigilante , or stalking, terrorist stalking, community-based harassment, and gaslighting. I request information , andrelated to all FBI records related to any of these terms, and, any similar terms. For purposes of this request information requested for gang stalking includes a request for information about all of the aforementioned synonymous terms (community stalking, etc.). I request that in addition to any other searches necessary to make the search for this request a legally adequate and reasonable one, that, at a minimum, the FBI conduct a Central Records System ("CRS") main file search AND also cross-reference (a.k.a. reference) search for the term/subject "gang stalking" AND for all of the aforementioned synonymous names/terms (community stalking, etc.), and, for any other similar term.
3. Gang stalking involves groups of individuals ("gang stalking groups") operating territorially and nationwide, and, in communication and collusion with each other, to violate the civil rights of, and disrupt, destabilize and finally destroy individuals who are put on a Stalking List for various reasons. The gang stalking groups use both intensive physical and electronic surveillance means to do this (including the "gang stalking methods" elaborated upon in paragraph number 4 below). These stalking groups use sophisticated electronic techniques and equipment, including, but not limited to, audio surveillance ("bugging"), video surveillance, computer spyware, GPS tracking, electronic scanners, two-way radios, ham radios, CB's, nextell direct connect phones, electronic jammers, as well as other similar electronic equipment. Both fixed surveillance (e.g., from apartments, vans, etc.) and mobile (on foot and moving vehicle) surveillance are used by the gang stalking groups. On foot surveillance is performed using tactics like flashmobbing, and, using undercover protocol and standardized hand signals similar to law enforcement. I request any information in FBI records related to gang stalking groups, their techniques, modus operandi and equipment. I request that the FBI conduct a CRS main file search AND cross-reference (a.k.a reference) search for the subject/term "gang stalking group(s)". Also, I request that the FBI perform a cross-reference (a.k.a. reference) seach for the terms "surveillance", "physical surveillance", "electronic surveillance" and "electronic stalking" for all main file searches pertaining to the subject/term "gang stalking" , of course, including all similar terms (i.e., community stalking, etc.), AND, for all main file searches pertaining to "gang stalking groups".
4. Gang stalking methods include, but are not limited to, "street theatre", in which targets of gang stalking are subjected in public to rudeness, loud speaking and personal references to themselves and their private activities by persons within the gang stalking conspiracy; related "Flashmobbing", or, the coming together of an often large group of individuals in the gang stalking conspiricy to disrupt, intimidate, harass and otherwise confuse a gang stalking victim (this is arranged by electronic communication via e-mails, text messages, etc., sent to mobile phones and similar electronic devices). Street theatre and related flashmobbing involve staged, choreographed behavior similar to acting or skits performed by one or several individuals at a time. Dangerous tailgating and headlight brighting while the targeted individual is followed when driving committed by the gang stalking conspirators. Theft and vandalism of the targeted individual’s property including that of their home(s) and vehicle(s) committed by members of the gang stalking conspiracy. Noise campaigns in which gang stalking conspirators and recruited neighbors use car honking, continuous hitting of the panic button on car alarms, door slamming, light shining and other distractions to harass the gang stalking victim (noise campaigns conducted at night are frequently timed to correspond to the targeted victims time of sleep, and, are intensified at night to deprive the victim of proper sleep). Conspicuous surveillance and following both on foot and by vehicles used by the gang stalking conspirators against the targeted individual. Systematic slander and villification (e.g., spreading rumors) of a targeted individual in the targeted individual's living community, working community and environs, with an attempt to dehumanize and otherwise isolate the targeted individual. Disruption and coercion used against employers of the individual targeted by gang stalking in order to get the targeted individual fired (including any incidents of workplace mobbing or hostlie work environment / constructive termination having any nexus to gang stalking). Coercion used against targeted business owners involving threats to employees, theft of business property, and threats to customers, suppliers, and, others who deal with the targeted individual's business by members of the gang stalking conspiracy in an effort to destroy the targeted individual’s business. Electronic bugging used against a targeted individual, and, disruption or theft of their mail, phone-lines, e-mails, computers, internet, electricity, water service, and any other necessary service. Disruption against any services of a targeted individual by members of the gang stalking conspiracy. Targeting the individual’s friends, family and even children in order to harm and discredit the targeted individual and isolate them conducted by members of the gang stalking conspiracy. Psychological warfare conducted by members of the gang stalking conspiracy against the targeted individual to create phobias and to feed known phobias of the victim (i.e. "sensitizing"). Gang stalking victims have had their pets poisoned and otherwise harmed and killed. Gang stalking groups use of probability patterns, based on the observed behavior of the targeted individual, in conjunction with audio/visual/GPS surveillance, in order to calculate the probability of physical movements of the targeted individual, and calculate the probable locations in places and at times when the target of gang stalking would appear, in order to harass and continue gang stalking activities directed against said targeted individual. Any similarity between the above-described probability analysis procedures and FBI surveillance procedures rooted in any such similar applied behavioral science. The ultimate goal of gang stalking is to isolate and destroy an individual by creating an unlivable hostile living environment and to thereby produce a forced suicide. I request any and all FBI records on the above-stated gang stalking methods and any similar methods. I request that the FBI conduct a CRS main file search AND cross-reference (a.k.a. reference) search for the subjects/terms "gang stalking methods", "flashmobbing", "flash mob", "noise campaigns", "workplace mobbing", "street theatere", "street theatre" and "electronic harassment".

PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN A GANG STALKING POLL:
http://zohopolls.com/peacefrog/how-long-have-you-been-a-victim-of-gang-stalking
I have been writing about and living the gang stalking phenomenon, which I believe to be the FBI's largest COINTELPRO, for years. I have written articles on Nowpublic including "FBI FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST", and "DOJ KNOWS ABOUT GANG STALKING", in an attempt to demonstrate the FBI and DOJ are aware of gang stalking, and, ,more importantly, to attempt to persuade readers to use the federal freedom of information act "FOIA" to put pressure on these agencies to reveal what they know about gang stalking. Firstly, this is not merely conjecture that the government is involved. Perhaps breaking down the modus operandi of gang stalking vis-a-vis COINTELPRO best makes my point in chief. According to the COINTELPRO literature (which I will elaborate on later), and, the most sited book on the web on gang stalking, David Lawson's Cause Stalking, the formula as applied to groups and individuals in COINTELPRO, and, individuals in gang stalking is this:
COINTELPRO GANG STALKING IDENTIFY IDENTIFY DISRUPT VILLIFY DESTABILIZE NULLIFY NEUTRALIZE DESTROY
Assuming a person had little idea of what COINTELPRO was, but, as a gang stalking victim had a good understanding of what gang stalking is, the first place one could look for information on COINTELPRO is a Google search and a full reading of the Wikipedia page on COINTELPRO. One could further delve into the subject by doing a Google search of "political control technologies", this is what the Europeans call COINTELPRO-style tactics. Also revealing would be a search on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police "VIP" program. This series of internet searches and a couple of hours perusing the results would familiarize anyone enough to make their own determination about the haunting similarity of political policing and gang stalking. More revealing would be reading The Cointelpro Papers by Churchill and Vander Wall which uses dozens of original FBI memo's and teletypes (obtained through FOIA) to show how the government identified, disrupted, destabilized, and, finally, neutrilized countless individuals and dozens of groups. This was conducted on most individuals and groups based on politics and not because of any actual or suspected criminality (i.e., political policing). The Cointelpro Papers analyzes non-criminal groups targeted including the Socialists, Communists, New Left, Anti-War Movement, American indian Movement, and, Black Liberation Movement. It also discusses the targeting of Martin Luther King, Jr., and other less known activists who were nullified. The book also discusses principled pushback from FBI Field Office supervisors promptly squashed by J. Edgar Hoover and the domestic Washington Consensus. The government's own version written by the Church Committe is available in paperback and is called Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: 1976 U.S. Senate Report on Illegal Wiretaps and Domestic Spying by FBI, CIA and NSA (ISBN: 9781934941218). Of course, the Church Committee analyzed the COINTELPRO problem (i.e., government gang stalking) and came to the conclusion that lack of supervision was the problem. True to form, over three decades later no effective legislation has been passed to curb the problem the congress found to be illegal. As for the FBI's claim in sworn congressional testimony of abandoning COINTELPRO tactics, true to form, they lied. In 2001, the FBI, acting on a rumor and some weak circumstantial evidence, used COINTELPRO to destroy the life and career of Dr. Steven Hatfill. This was largely based on a rumor spread by an interested colleague that Hatfill was the anthrax mailer in 2001. The trial evidence showed that the full court press FBI gang stalking campaign even included dangerous tailgaiting and assault. Hatfill had zero privacy for years. The former U.S. attorney representing Hatfill described the FBI's behavior as a McCarthy-style witch hunt. When the real anthrax mailer, another government scientist, was found to be the culprit, the FBI settled the case for $5.8 million. Perhaps, the film the U.S. v. John Lennon is the most poignant illustration of politically motivated persecution. After donating $50,000 to the Black Panther Party in the late 1960's Lennon became the target of a full blown FBI COINTELPRO (i.e., government gang stalking) campaign. Of course, he never moved, fought deportation successfully, and was ironically gunned down by a mentally ill postal worker from Hawaii. Besides Lawson's book I think everyone should read Bridging the Gap by GMB Bailey which highlights the snitch culture and informant misuse that pervades activities like gang stalking. Here is the link: http://www.gangstalkingunited.com/Bridgingthegap.pdf.
One can approximate a complete shift in paradigm in the very structure of policing on the federal, state, and local level back to the "War on Drugs" and the creation of the DEA in the Nixon Administration. The first improtant thing to note about the war on drugs, is that, it is an endless war. Even in police states with expedited executions, the drug trade can not be eliminated. At bottom, it is a war against the poor, but, thats another story. The paradigm shift engendered by the war on drugs was one of a basically passive policing of crimes to an active crime management system. This was accomplished through a system of dealing between authorities and snitches. The snitch, and, his close cousin, the undercover narc, became the pillars of the criminal "justice" system. The abuses of this satanic pact are well covered. What is not so well articulated is that a wider range of policing systems were given birth by this hideous marriage of convenience. This system which rendered de facto minority control of crime syndicates to police via their immunized, operational snitches created a foundation for more widespread abuses and social engineering controls, example par excellence, the inevitable gang stalking cointelpro phenomenon. Who are the villains/cowards/derelicts? The people at the helm of the Justice system from th Attorney General to the U.S. Attorney's Offices to the directors of the federal police down to the local police chief's and county sheriffs.
Unlike workplace mobbing which has been given some academic attention, and, is actually against the law in some places, gang stalking/community-based harassment is a crime avoided by credible sources in academia and media. The same basic principles apply. In a workplace mobbing (legally known as "constructive termination") case the office is the center of systematic harassment. Most people quit or file a lawsuit. With organized group stalking there is no escape. It is a full court press seeking to destroy the targeted individuals life. It is identical to COINTELPRO and all facets of the targets life are turned hostile to them. This is the creation of a hostile living environment. Infiltration of family, work, friends, associates, and, just about every aspect of the targets life is manipulated using advanced behavioral science. It is inconceivable that anyone with a more than cursory knowledge of COINTELPRO could believe that these similarities could be attributed to anything but the involvement of the FBI.
I think the only way to break through the conspiracy theory label planted upon us by the mainstream media, as willing lapdog to government, is to focus on the basic commonalities of gang stalking. Gang satalking is merely a street name for Cointelpro tactics being used to silence and destroy political enemies and others targeted by the government using criminal tactics. Firstly, most individuals who are gang stalked are too hung up on why they fell into the trap. This is a nationwide, programmatic system being used as an alternative to direct law enforcement Cointelpro campaigns. Both the targeted individuals and the gang stalking groups are a means to a political end. By training snitches in Cointelpro tactics the establishment distances itself from illegal activities and gets to use these social engineering techniques in a more and more arbitrary way. This is the ultimate abuse of the snitch culture. Given its history, the FBI has used these techniques on political dissidents, judges, members of Congress, etc. In all liklihood, prominent left wing professors have experienced this, as well as journalists. These people are keeping quiet, in part, not to be labeled as conspiracy nuts.
We are all in this together, subject to a well trained and organized army of interlocking goon squads from sea to shing sea. The way to bring this mainstream is to focus on the fact that gang stalking IS COINTELPRO! There is a rich historical archive, well analyzed, that reveals what Cointelpro was in an earlier phase. The National Archives in Washington, D.C. has over 50,000 pages of declassified documents from the Church Committee hearings on domestic balckbag Cointelpro-style operations by the intelligence agencies (the bulk of which was illegal FBI activities directed against domestic political "enemies"). When the FBI decided to commandeer and train a national snitch network to farm out its blackbag operations, and, to use broad social engineering techniques to ensnare its political enemies, gang stalking was born. Please read my other articles and make the FOIA requests suggested to FBI and DOJ. No victim or sane person wants this to continue.

The deceitfullness of the current system must be the product of only one being -- Satan. Every one of us tends to beat around the bush on this issue, out of the fear of being called a religious wackjob. Being called a wackjob is no longer very important -- the truth is too plain to see ...

Thank you for your hard work and ongoing efforts to expose something that absolutely must be stopped.

Thank you for posting your insightful comments. We can not be apathetic about this. Only a few readers bothered to comment. Please read my Gang Stalking Foia Request article, and, the DOJ Knows About Gang Stalking article. If enough people take the time to make phone calls and FOIA requests we will force the authorities to do the correct thing and respond to the problem.

"A bold piece of scholarship that breaks the silence on many issues in the American trajectory that have changed only a bit since the Cold War and might still come to the foreground in such a way as to make the McCarthy era look like play. --Laura Nader" An anthropologist would be the type of person to recognize patterns in the way people act, and the ways by which they are easily manipulated. To see that such individuals are persecuted by a system that wants the dulled populace kept dull, takes little imagination. Thus, it is easy to see plausibility in the Price article that you reference. The effect of propaganda (one of the main tools of the new authoritarians) would dovetail into any study of anthropology.

I have major issues getting to use my computer as well as phone service.Even my mail service is a joke a the jokers are Inspectors with the head P.O in WASH.D.C.I have audio to prove my statements.I also am a target of gang stalking this stems from the STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AND POLICE.I have endured this in three states,with it becoming more violent in the state of NORTH CAROLINA,MY HEART IS WORKING ONLY 25% OF WHAT SHOULD BE 100%.I HAVE PICTURES AUDIO AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN AND ARE AWARE.It is time for someone to stop this madness of such corruption. This is never going to get better just as the drugs that is a form of genocide, now this gang stalking and other harassment has grown out of control from rogue DEMONS.

These are not demons, they are desk killers (look at the Wikipedia page for the book The Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt). If you met the FBI and other cops who taught their snitches within criminal organizations to perform illegal Cointelpro methods, you would be looking at faces no different than your neighbors. The problem is that the FBI has acted without any meaningful constraint since its inception. It has acted as a political police. In order to attempt to distance itself from outlawed blackbag cointelpro activities, it trained its snitches to do the job, and, created a national network. It is inevitable ,given the historical arrogance of the FBI, that once the truth hemmorages, judges, congressmen, senators, and other highly placed individuals in the government/corporate leadership will have been subjected to this. Eventually, the FBI, which as part of the intelligence community at large, is more powerful than the President of the United States, will face a Special Prosecutor. This will happen when their is a collective effort to choose democracy and civil rights over a National Security State that is creating its own enemies, internally and externally.

Your insights, as usual, are appreciated and seem to be pretty much "right on the mark." I'm longing for the day when a courageous (and honest) Special Prosecutor takes on this cause. I pray that it will happen in my lifetime. (I, too, have experienced this in three different states and I'm sick and tired of it. As I try to go about the business of living, which isn't easy, I wonder how this could be happening in America.) Victims of this madness need the help of those who are charged with task of keeping us safe.

Thank you for continuing to make insightful comments. I created a gang stalking poll, you can get to it by googling gang stalking poll. I would appreciate if you and others that take the time to comment participate. I'm hoping that in a few months I can get a credible number of participants (so far I have 11 votes on my zoho.com gang stalking poll). I also network with other ti's and try to think of activism strategies. One suggestion I thought of was to get a group together for the purpose of making a campaign donation to a progressive congressperson, and, hoping that access to a staffer, etc., would result.

I have attemted to create a peacable domicile in two different states now, but shortly after the move to N.C. I realized that gang stalking is a country-wide phenomenon. There really is no way to outrun it, but it can be minimized simply by living in an area characterized by a sparse population. I'm a bit of a loner anyway, so that idea doesn't strike me as detrimental in and of itself. However; it is necessary for one to support oneself, and the ability of these groups to destroy financial underpinnings such as business and/or employment has had an enormous impact on me and my family. In any society, it's possible that the people may fall into the grip of fascists or another type of authoritarian system, and such things are usually built from within (rather than by an act of conquering). In the current instance, technology has multiplied the effects and the acceleration of effects by an order of magnitude, while simultaneously lowering the likelihood of ever reversing them. In our particular instance, the people themselves, armed with computer age technology, are being used as the enforcers of their own subjugation. The big difference is that (thus far) the "civilian enforcers" are being utilized in place of an outright military coup, and officially declared military law, while in previous systems the "brown shirts" were used in a short precursor period before outright overt fascist-military dictatorship

There is a sort of mechanism set in motion whereby bureaucrats and other officials can exhibit a willful blindness to the most crude and barbarous acts. A blindness so overpowering that the evil that they do is utterly transpanent to themselves- a total internalized ability to become numb and blind to evil. Power and evil run on parallel tracks. St. Augistine had it wrong, it is not a turning away from the good, but rather, a turning away from the bad. St. Paul had it right in Romans, a man is not evil because he does evil, but rather, he does evil because he is evil. The struggle is one of overcoming our nature. If this realization could be inculcated and institutionalized we would achieve social justice. The monotonous, dead, repetative actions of the state make for a perfect death cult under any economic or social order. This is not only a question of anthropology as demonstrated by Arendt, Zimbardo, Orwell, Foucault, Milgram and others. The Organized Stalking phenomenon is part of a cancer that Ward Churchill (without addressing stalking) rightly deemed a question of awakening "American Guilt".

I also live in N.C. Great weather, beautiful scenery, gorgeous beaches, (fairly) low cost of living, horrific corruption and seriously bad-ass gang stalking. Oddly though, I have never been bothered by the police in any way. In fact, they seem to go out of their way to avoid me. There have been a few times when I thought I should have been pulled over (blown red light as an example), and wasn't. It's borderline weird, IMHO.
at 05:10 on October 12th, 2009
I live in NYC. The FBI and Red Squads (local police who function as political police) are always in the background. The whole point is they farm out the work to subagents-gang stalking groups. Only a minority (probably 20% by historical standards) actually know that the FBI are pulling the strings in gang stalking. The lack of police attention to this problem is circumstantial proof that they are being ordered not to do anything in response to it. This is a mass movement type phenomenon, and, the FBI and local police have to be aware through surveillance. These people are using frequencies to communicate that are local broadband- in some cases local government broadband. There are thousands of cameras in cities.
In your case, conspicuous inaction by police in avoiding a series of incidents that normally would involve police action, is indicative of circumstantial proof that they know your identity, and, are avoiding direct contact with you.
at 08:47 on October 12th, 2009
I understand what you are saying ... you imply that a policy position emphasizes that a "hands off" approach be taken by "official" law enforcement, and that the (constitution crushing) contractors do the dirty work. Still, I see a lot of police action in other quarters (see Scrivener @ NowPublic).

blog.aclu.org/2009/10/07/ensuring-justice-in-patriot-act-reauthorization/ The following was posted to aclu.org by "Bonnie" Will the Justice Act stop surveillance of innocent Americans deprived of due process of law? Visit my web site theintrovertspeaks.com Organized Gang Stalking It’s happening all over the United States. It’s happening here in San Diego County. It’s called organized gang stalking and there is no law against it. The phenomena was first noted by a German industrial psychologist, Dr. Heinz Leymann. He noted that a group of people would target an individual to force the individual out of the workplace and he called what they did “mobbing.” Authors Noa Zanolli, Ruth Distler Schwartz, and Gail Pursell have described how it works in their book, Mobbing – U.S.A. Emotional Abuse in the Workplace. Whether taking place in the workplace or in the community, mobbing, as it is called when it happens in a workplace, or organized gang stalking, as it is called when it happens in the community, involves a kind of psychological torture whose goal is to drive the target out or to neutralize thetarget.In the community it often works by sensitizing the target to a stimulus all of the organized gang stalkers use. The stimulus is often an everyday thing – for instance, the color “red.” The thing that makes the stimulus so aversive is the frequency with which it occurs. A group of 20 or 30 or 50 or more of organized gang stalkers might be involved in harassing the target, so the target is continuously harassed with the same stimulus, but by different individuals. Every time the target enters or leaves his or her home, for instance, an organized gang stalker will be there with something red on. The target’s routines are ascertained. Neighbors – afraid of being gang stalked themselves – might alert the gang stalkers when the target is leaving his or her home. When the target walks on the beach, three or four gang stalkers wearing red might be there. When the target opens his or her blinds in the morning, the first thing he or she will see is a person wearing red. Organized gang stalkers typically try to be there on entrances or exits of the target, so that when the target comes out of a store, the first thing he or she sees will be a gang stalker in red. It is the frequency of the stimulus that makes it so aversive and the isolation of the target. Gang stalkers often target people without support systems.The target’s property might have trash thrown on it. There will be car alarms set off if the target tries to take a walk or the beeping of horns. The gang stalkers often use noise to try to deprive the target of sleep. A program of “touchless torture” is set up by the organized gang stalkers in 24/7 harassment. The organized gang stalking might go on for years. GANG STALKING Primary targets are “women, minorities, dissidents, whistle blowers.” Tactics include: Telling lies about a target. Surveillance of the targets movements by the gang stalkers. Gang stalkers use red cars, red trucks, wear/carry red. Enlistment of neighbors to join in the harassment, an attempt to try to isolatethe target. Increase in noise in the vicinity of the target’s home. Noise used for harassment timed to disrupt the target’s life, when he/she leaves her home, goes into her yard. The use of dogs to intimidate – running up at the target – jumping out of car windows. Hammering used for harassment. Wrong numbers to target’s telephone. Dumping garbage on target’s property. Exiting or Entering at the same time the target exits or enters her/his home for the purpose of harassment. Psychological tactics where ordinary everyday items are repetitively used to create a doublebind. Open garage doors, lawn mowers left on front lawns – repetively used by gang stalkers to attract the target’s notice (where to notice and report such everything things makes the target sound crazy – the intent of gang stalkers). Damage to property of target. Honking of horns. Vehicles stopping and standing in front of target’s home especially when he/she enters/exits. Shining lights in target’s home. The purpose of this organized gang stalking is to neutralize the target. To make the target appear unstable and to discredit the target in the larger community. To alienate and marginalize the target from the larger community. To use tactics that leave no evidence for prosecution. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: You can help restore Constitutional protections by writing to your legislators found at www.Congress.org and asking them to: 1. to reinstate anti-COINTELPRO regulations and make it illegal for the FBI to monitor and conduct surveillance of religious and political groups without evidence of wrongdoing 2. create mechanisms of oversight over fusion centers that return Constitutional protections to American citizens 3. establish codes of ethics for police and firemen to prevent harassment of citizens using organized gang stalking tactics with consequences for violations 4. put “limitations on the ability of police departments to conduct surveillance of First Amendment Activity in the absence of criminal activity, a mechanism for persons to discover if police have been monitoring them, and a framework for reviewing and auditing intelligence files by a neutral third party” 5. make the person who initiates organized gang stalking against another person guilty of a hate crime 6. ask Congress to hold hearings on watch lists which already contain the names of 1.1 million Americans to put a stop to the growth of privacy invasive lists 7. tell Congress to stop the abuse of the states secret doctrine to hide government misconduct 8. tell lawmakers to stop police from using GPS to track American citizens without first getting a warrant 9. tell Congress to review U.S. surveillance law to stop the expansion of government authority to conduct domestic surveillance without evidence of wrongdoing 10. tell your representatives you want a Department of Civil Liberties to protect your rights under the Constitution TELL CONGRESS TO STOP THE UNAMERICAN ACTIVITY OF ORGANIZEDGANG STALKING. TO RESTORE DUE PROCESS OF LAW AND THE CHECKSAND BALANCES ON POWER OUR FOREFATHERS PUT IN PLACE TOPROTECT OUR LIBERTY.

The unqualified statement that gang stalking is not a crime is misleading. There have been precedents in which federal jurisdiction has been invoked to bring civil rights conspiracy cases. The object of gang stalking is to terminate an individual and not just employment,etc. The Justice Dept. could use 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 in a similar manner in which that statute, and, similar federal civil and criminal laws, have been used to financially destroy and imprison the Klan and other hate groups.

NWO is in it’s next gear. A secret crime wave is sweeping the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and most NATO countries. Americans are now being terrorized by the Red Squads in local police departments for free speech using federal funds, citizen watch groups (COP, COPP, TIPS, etc.), city and county employees and vehicles and corporate employees and vehicles to set them up for incarceration, institutionalization, homelessness and suicide in what the ACLU describes as more Stasi-like than the FBI’s Cointelpro (1956-1971). Look up “gang stalking” and “targeted individuals” on YouTube.
at 17:43 on December 16th, 2009
You mention that there is no law against it. The fact is that it is not legal to harass anyone in any way. And most of the tactics used in ORGANIZED/GANG STALKING/COINTELPRO operations are illegal. The problem is proving it.Seems like the best way to attack this at the moment is through exposure. I don't think we can count on the courts or the press. But if enough targets get the message out, maybe there's hope.I've been a target for over eight years.

Mr. Wood:
It is true that COINTELPRO in all its manifestations is illegal. This was the finding of the Senate Church Committee in the 1970's. They reviewed COINTELPRO-style tactics from the early 20th Century until 1976 when they made their findings public.
While it is difficult to believe in a Court system, Congress or the Executive branch when it inevitably is far too slow to curb abuses, it is the only way to expose this. FOIA requests to federal agencies have to be promptly responded to and preserved by law. They also allow for judicial review. Complaints to your local house rep. (go to house.gov and find yours with your zip code) have to be reviewed and preserved. Petitions have to be looked into. If you get more than 200 constituents to sign a petition of their local house rep. it must be responded to. This is all a lot of effort, but, lives are at stake.

While FBI's Cointelpro (1956-1971) targeted a few thousand leaders, local police departments are targeting hundreds of thousands of Joe 6-packs -- literally anyone they dislike for whatever reason -- transvestites, drivers with a bumper sticker "9/11 was an inside job", etc. In the Orwellian UK people are being gang stalked for littering or any anti-social behavior. They tend to pick easy targets such as women living alone www.youtube.com/watch?v=--5X0f_gFGw. Even a web search of "chemtrails" or "HAARP" can get you there. If they fail to incarcerate or institutionalize you, then they microwave you www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbz6Cp-nVho.

COINTELPRO targeted a "few thousand leaders". Read the Senate's version of COINTELPRO Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans: 1976 US Senate Report on Illegal Wiretaps and Domestic Spying by the FBI, CIA and NSA by Church Committee to find out it was the same magnitude your describing now.
