GESTAPO USA: Gov't-Funded Vigilante Network Terrorizes America

A virulent form of government-enabled domestic terrorism is destroying the lives of citizens across America.

Victims of so-called organized "gang stalking" or "community stalking" charge that the rule of law has broken down nationwide at the hands of state-supported vigilantes -- operating under the cover of citizen community policing and neighborhood watch corps and business-related anti-terrorism programs, supplemented by municipal workers and members of private and fraternal organizations.

A nationwide network comprised of these citizen groups, funded and apparently overseen by elements of government at multiple levels, is the mechanism of "extrajudicial" targeting and punishment that victims say is dispensing officially tolerated "vigilante justice" -- a bypass of the judicial system and the rule of law.

Many web sites in the U.S., Canada and other industrialized nations chronicle this horror. But victims say the tentacles of this domestic terrorism extend well beyond the so-called "street muscle" comprised of gang-stalking local vigilantes and self-styled soldiers of fortune.

Victims of this extrajudicial punishment network -- what some have termed "the torture matrix" -- maintain that its operatives are acting as judge, jury and executioner for what amounts to an evil shadow government.  So-called "targeted individuals" -- and by extension, entire families --  are subject to physical assault and psychological and physical harassment that victims say amounts to officially-sanctioned domestic torture.  Some victims have moved to other cities and towns seeking a safe harbor  -- but they say the persecution recurs in their new locale.

"It appears to be a nationwide network that attracts extremists as well as law-and-order types and people connected to public safety such as firefighters, utility workers, police auxiliaries, retired police and military officers, and even their family members, including children and teenagers," says one victim, who says he has been "gang stalked" for several years. "I doubt it could exist without some people in positions of power looking the other way."

Even some regular, uniformed police are reported to have been intimidated by this network of extrajudicial punishment --  described benignly by its defenders as a social "control" mechanism.

Victims say that they are physically harassed and relentlessly stalked, whether they travel on foot or in vehicles.  GPS devices are secreted in their cars or cell phones.  When a "target" enters a designated "node" area -- whether near or far -- the local vigilantes in that area receive a signal on their GPS or cellphone devices, often accompanied by a read-out of commands from the "team leader,"  specifying what kind of  sadistic psychological terror and harassment to dish out. 

The stalkers then "swarm the target," whose GPS beacon shows up on their GPS device screens in a distinct pattern that stalkers call "the crown of evil" -- since they have been indoctrinated to believe that their prey are "terrorists"  or criminals or social deviates who have committed terrible acts.

The stalkers typically ride the target's bumper, drive recklessly or intrusively, causing near-accidents.  On foot, the stalkers approach their targets in public places such as stores or libraries.  They come ever closer, invading the target's personal space.  The intent: psychological intimidation, an attempt to provoke or fabricate a contrived confrontation -- so-called "street theater" -- that later can be used as "evidence" that the target is "mentally unstable."
 
Stalkers also surreptitiously enter their targets' homes and vandalize property,  from autos parked in garages to appliances, furnaces, plumbing systems, even personal items of clothing. The intruders play sadistic psychological mind games on their targets, such as rearranging or hiding their possessions -- what the gang stalkers call "gaslighting," after the classic Ingrid Bergman film in which an evil husband uses trickery and deception in an attempt to convince his wife that she is going crazy. (Like many gang stalking victims, she figures it out in the end.)

Targets of the "torture matrix" find their privacy is constantly invaded by way of pervasive surveillance of all electronic communications, which often are tampered with or altered in transit. Both video and audio "bugs" are planted in targets' supposedly private residences. 

Information gleaned from surveillance, such as details of private conversations, is funneled to the street stalkers -- who then repeat these "directed" comments within earshot of the target -- a form of psychological harassment intended to provoke anxiety and fear.

The sophistication of the surveillance leads victims to conclude that gang stalking is the local component of an expansive covert executive program of social control, physical harassment and torture overseen by federal military, security, intelligence and revenue agencies outside of the purview of Congress or the courts.

A host of government programs, many of which were sold to Congress as "tools" with which to fight terrorism and drug trafficking, also are employed to destroy the financial well-being of targeted persons and their families. Victims report their mail is intercepted and financial accounts and billing statements are fabricated and altered.  In effect, targets and their families are covertly segregated into a parallel system of transaction processing established with the apparent cooperation of private companies.  Victims view this gradual expropriation of their personal wealth and the destruction of their ability to support themselves and their families as "social genocide."

"This financial exploitation and manipulation of our accounts and records fits the dictionary definition of fascism -- authoritarian bureaucrats working secretly with the private sector to neutralize and destroy people they regard as undesirable, or as 'dissidents' who may stand in their way," says one victim, a journalist who says his career, finances and physical health have been decimated.

Targets of this extrajudicial punishment network and their families also come under relentless physical assault, according to victim accounts, by way of hi-tech equipment such as "directed energy weapons" (D.E.W.) which emit silent bursts of radiation -- lasers, microwaves, x-rays, sonic frequencies.  The government describes such weaponry as "non-lethal."  In fact, experts familiar with radiation weaponry say these devices can be used to torture, inflict bodily harm, induce illness, and even kill.

A 2006 video produced by the U.S. Air Force "Directed Energy Directorate" at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico discusses how such weaponry is designed to "accurately aim and put this energy on target with surgical precision." (Emphasis added).

UPDATE (1/7/09):

After six months of reporting in this space, the first crack in an official wall of silence regarding the wholesale deployment of radiation weapons came on Christmas Eve, 2008 -- and went largely unnoticed by the mainstream media. 

The magazine New Scientist reported: "The research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice is working on two portable non-lethal weapons that inflict pain from a distance using beams of laser light or microwaves, with the intention of putting them into the hands of police to subdue suspects."  
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16339-us-police-could-get-pain-beam-weapons.html

A recent article on the Wired.com magazine "Danger Room" blog site discusses a court document said to indicate that the U.S. Secret Service is involved in the development of directed energy weapons technology.  The article speculates that the agency may have deployed such devices in the course of its official duties.

http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/11/presidents-secr.html

In fact, say victims of government-supported extrajudicial punishment, radiation weapons and devices have been covertly used for years to harass, torture, and inflict pain and physical and mental incapacitation  -- with the number of anecdotal reports surging in the wake of 9/11 and the advent of the "war on terror."

Official confirmation of radiation weapons deployment comes despite a substantial body of medical research which indicates that human exposure to microwave, laser, and other forms of radiated energy can induce weakness, exhaustion, and behaviorial changes; can cause strokes, aneurysms, cancer, eye damage and degraded vision; and can induce symptoms that mimic serious brain ailments such as Alzheimer's Disease and schizophrenia, with cognitive impairment that can result in temporary or permanent mental incapacitation, long-term physical disablement, even death.

The April 2008 edition of the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin discusses the potential lethality of directed energy weapons and how such devices can be used to silently inflict serious injury or to induce harmful, potentially fatal, physiological effects:

"This is torture that's happening right here, in American cities and towns," says an alleged victim.  "But it's like pre- World War II Germany; people refuse to believe that such abuses could happen in a civilized society.  But it is happening.  And I'm convinced that some local and federal authorities not only have knowledge of this extra-legal targeting, but are providing funding and direction.

"I know the FBI knows about it, because I've been down there several times over the past two years to report it."  He says he knows of no formal investigation, despite his offers to cooperate.

"I'm not saying they know of the worst abuses, such as using microwaves on targeted persons to degrade their health and make it impossible for them to earn a living.  But they must know that these citizen patrols are doing a lot more than just cruising around the neighborhood."

Citizens who have reported abuses say their complaints are typically ignored -- or that authorities insinuate their claims are figments of their imagination, or are a manifestation of a mental illness such as paranoia. 

"That appears to be part of the M-O," says one victim.  "You haven't done anything wrong, so they can't charge you with a crime.  So they attempt to make it look like you're crazy.  That's how they marginalize people who don't fit in with their world view."  The victim says it's possible that local law enforcement has been "co-opted" by a variation of "the big lie." 

"Higher-ups come in and say, 'We've identified this person as a threat.' What are they going to do? They're going to go with the program, especially since a lot of their funding comes from outside the community."

This victim believes the vigilante network is a convenient way for those in power to dispense with persons or groups of people they simply don't like or regard as undesirables, or whose political or social views do not hew to what they consider the established order.

Victims allege that the crisis in the mortgage and credit markets may have been worsened by these "programs of personal destruction," which they say are sapping the financial well-being of individuals and families without benefit of the right of due process.  Making available "easy credit" is a primary tool that puts targets and their families on the road to financial ruin, victims maintain.

Some wonder whether these extrajudicial programs didn't help spawn financial crises in the first place.  "We haven't had these kind of widespread financial woes for generations," a gang-stalking victim said.  "You have to wonder if these programs weren't a blueprint for an ideologically-motivated purge."

Officials at agencies looking into mortgage and credit market problems may have had long-standing knowledge of these programs, according to victims, who are calling on Congress to investigate.

"The issue of state-supported vigilantism and extrajudicial control and punishment represents an assault on our judicial system that makes Watergate look like the third-rate burglary that it started out to be," says one victim.   "Since government agencies appear to be involved in funding these programs, it's up to Congress to investigate, to use its powers of oversight to ensure that democracy and the rule of law prevails, not the law of the jungle."

The network of programs and policies that are circumventing the judicial system, violating constitutional rights and meting out vigilante justice might collectively be termed the mechanics of personal destruction -- a blueprint for political and social dominance crafted by those who would use the institutions of government as a tool of ideologically-driven social engineering.

This powerful apparatus appears to exist under the radar of most elected members of Congress and officers of the  judicial system.  They refuse to consider that these programs, over time, have adopted the of methodologies the East German Stasi, the KKK of the old South, and the Gestapo of the Nazi Third Reich -- and that the "targets" include innocent American citizens tagged by someone in a position of power as  a "troublemaker," perhaps a whistle-blower, a political "dissident" or falsely slandered as a "social deviate."

Victims say the rise of this "American Gestapo" represents the victory of neo-fascism over democracy -- achieved under the guise of "national security" and "keeping America safe."  They say that in the face of mounting evidence of widespread abuses, even those who identify themselves as liberals and progressives often naively insist that "it can't happen here."

Victims charge that extrajudicial targeting and punishment is destroying our democracy. They maintain that untold thousands, if not millions, of individuals and families are being irreparably harmed by this "social genocide." Some call it a "silent holocaust" due to its clandestine nature and the use of silent, invisible radiation weapons technology to achieve its horrific goals.

Below are links to articles about this clear and present danger to our constitutional democracy and to the lives and livelihoods of its citizens.  Victims urge lawmakers and congressional committees to start asking some tough questions, starting with the Department of Homeland Security and its security agencies; Defense, and its intelligence and weapons units; Justice, and its authorization of the widespread deployment of radiation weaponry to law enforcement; the various intelligence agencies; and the Treasury department, whose enforcement units apparently have been politicized by ideologues who have used the "war on terror" as cover for an ideologically-motivated campaign of social and political "cleansing."

Victims believe this cancer on American society runs deep, from the Washington bureaucracy to local law enforcement and public safety agencies. But they say the curative process must begin with firm, decisive and immediate action by the new administration before more Americans are damaged by this descent from the rule of law into home-grown fascism.
