Supreme Court Deciding Whether To Take ACLU's Indefinite Detention Case

(Originally posted on Daily Kos.)

The Supreme Court is meeting today to decide whether to review an ACLU challenge to the Bush administration's authority to indefinitely imprison a U.S. citizen or a legal resident of the United States without charge or trial based simply on the president’s assertion that the detainee is an “enemy combatant.”

The case was filed on behalf of Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, a U.S. resident who was first arrested in December 2001 at his home in Peoria, Illinois, where he was living with his wife and children. His criminal case was set to go to trial in July 2003, until President Bush took the extraordinary step of designating al-Marri an "enemy combatant." Al-Marri was then transferred to a military brig in South Carolina where he was subjected to torture and other degrading treatment.

Al-Marri is now the only person detained as an "enemy combatant" in the mainland United States.

Today, the Los Angeles Times published an op-ed by the ACLU National Security Project’s Jonathan Hafetz (who is al-Marri’s attorney). Jonathan describes the case and what is at stake in this case:

The law in question — a 2001 authorization to use military force in Afghanistan — has been twisted beyond recognition. It now allows the military to seize U.S. citizens as well as legal residents like Marri and hold them forever in a state of legal limbo.
Among our legal system's most fundamental principles are the right to a jury trial and the presumption that someone is innocent until proved guilty. Like executive branch decisions approving torture, Marri's detention is a radical departure from America's deepest values, a moment when our country lost its bearings.
We are hopeful that the Supreme Court will take this case and ensure that people in this country cannot be removed from their homes and imprisoned indefinitely — without charge or trial — just because the president says so. If they don’t, this case could represent the tragic, but appropriate final chapter of the Bush administration’s failed national security policies.

    VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM WANT TO KNOW: WHY ISN'T THE ACLU ON THIS CASE?

    AMERICAN GESTAPO: 'State-Supported Terrorism' Targets U.S. Citizens

    GET POLITICAL w/ VIC LIVINGSTON

    • Congress: probe "targeting" of American citizens by vigilantes hiding behind government-funded programs

    • Due process denied, the Constitution violated by "extrajudicial" vigilante groups said to resemble KKK, Stasi and Nazi Gestapo

    • A cause of the crisis in the mortgage and credit markets?

    NEW IN 'COMMENTS': Author's personal account

    A virulent form of 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 volunteer 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 by elements of government at multiple levels, is the "extrajudicial" control mechanism that victims say is dispensing officially tolerated "vigilante justice."

    Many web sites in the U.S., Canada and other industrialized nations chronicle this horror, often referred to as "gang stalking" or "organized community stalking." But victims say the tentacles of this domestic terrorism extend well beyond the so-called "street muscle."

    Victims of this extrajudicial network maintain that these vigilantes are operating as judge, jury and executioner -- meting out various forms of harassment and abuse. Some victims have moved to other cities and towns to escape the persecution -- but they say the vigilantism 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 control.

    Victims say that they are physically harassed and relentlessly stalked, whether in vehicles or on foot; property is vandalized; privacy is invaded by way of pervasive surveillance; mail is intercepted, financial accounts and billing statements are altered and family finances decimated; and their physical well-being is compromised by hi-tech equipment such as "directed energy weapons" emitting silent bursts of radiation -- lasers, microwaves, x-rays, sonic frequencies -- that can maim, induce illness or even kill.

    "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 that 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 regard as the established order.

    Victims also believe that a network of government programs and agencies works in tandem with the extra-legal vigilante system to destroy their financial security. They allege that the crisis in the mortgage and credit markets may have been worsened by these programs, 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 in putting "targeted individuals" on the road to financial ruin, victims maintain.

    Some victims 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."

    Some of the agencies looking into the 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 the gang-stalking 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, and not the law of the jungle."

    The network of programs and policies that are allegedly 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 methodology the East German Stasi, the KKK of the old South, and the Gestapo of the Nazi Third Reich -- and that the "targets" include American citizens tagged as political "dissidents."

    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, those who identify themselves as liberals and progressives naively insist that "it can't happen here."

    Victims charge that extrajudicial targeting of American citizens is destroying our democracy; much damage already has been done. They maintain that individuals and families are being irreparably harmed by what could they describe as "social genocide." Some call it a "silent holocaust" due to its clandestine nature and the use of silent, invisible "directed energy" technology to achieve its horrific goals.

    Below are links to the 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:

    "Mr. Chertoff, are you aware that many Americans believe they have been the victims of so-called community or gang stalking, possibly perpetrated by persons equipped and trained by federally funded volunteer programs under your charge? Have you heard of such reports, and are you investigating to ensure that these programs and their resources are not being misused?"

    Victims believe this cancer on American society extends beyond a single cabinet department. But the curative process must begin with forces entrusted with the nation's security before more Americans are damaged by this descent from the rule of law into home-grown fascism.

    I have faced housing discrimination during the whole nine months I have been living in the Sandidge Hills Apartments at the rental office. I moved here on August 9, 2006 and I am still experiencing racial discrimination in the terms, conditions, and privileges of the rental of my apartment.

    The apartment management treats me like I have no rights and they never gave me the Document Package for Applicant’s/Tenant’s Release of Information. They have tried to evict me and falsely accused me of fraud. I have been homeless with my children before and when this happened to me after I made a State to State move and I didn’t know anyone here; I almost had a nervous breakdown and killed myself. I was scared I would lose my housing assistance and have to live in my car. I have only had beds for my children and furniture for almost two years and I feared losing everything again. Debi Pruitt repeatedly told me that I was going to jail if I didn’t move and I kept thinking about being separated from my children. They were trying to evict me in retaliation for maintenance complaints to HUD and would do anything to coerce me to move.

    They rented me this apartment without letting me see it first. It needed a lot of work when I moved in and they didn’t start making repairs until after I complained to the HUD Property Manager, Damie Brenholtz in May 11, 2007 (which is even after I received a Termination Notice on May 1, 2007). They had never repaired anything in my apartment until May 18, 2007 AND on two occasions they have tried to blame the lack of repairs to my unit on me. I am scared and I don’t trust them because I am harassed almost everyday with letters from the Site Manager threatening eviction for one reason or another. I can hardly sleep at night thinking about how they enter my apartment whenever they want- with or without notice.

    They have requested entry to my apartment over 10 times in March, over 5 times in April, and over 20 times in May 2007.
    After they asked me to move on April 23, 2007 they requested information from three third party sources without signed verification forms. They did this to try to justify my eviction; they even maliciously contacted my previous landlord and released confidential information off my 2006 Income Tax Return. According to the HUD Occupancy Handbook 4530.3 Rev. 1:

    When Debi Pruitt contacted Manpower, Sitel Corporation, and Hillview Village Apartments on April 24, 2007 she violated Chapter 3: Eligibility for Assistance and Occupancy
    Section 3.11 Consent and Verification Forms
    Key Requirement B. (2) on page 3-16
    Page Two
    “All adult members of an applicant or tenant family must sign individual verification forms authorizing the owner to verify family income.”
    AND
    She violated Chapter 5: Determing Income and Rent
    Section 5.20 Confidentiality of Applicant and Tenant Information on page 5-56.

    When Debi Pruitt contacted the Hillview Village Apartments and released confidential information off my tax return she violated Chapter 3: Eligibility for Assistance and Occupancy
    Section 3.11 Consent and Verification Forms
    Key Requirement B. (4) on page 3-16
    “Owners must comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act. Owners must not supply family information to third parties unless families have given written consent authorizing the owner to do so.

    Paula Perry and Debi Pruitt knowingly and willingly violated my rights by accusing me of fraud according to Chapter 8: Termination
    Section 4: Discrepancies, Tenant Errors, and Fraud
    B. Types of Tenant Violations which states
    “3. A violation is NOT always fraudulent. It is important that owners first review and assess the circumstances before labeling a violation as fraud.”

    Although the racial discrimination was subtle, I was hurt when Debi Pruitt belittled me for using the word “discrepancies” in my letter to her. She also ridiculed me when I referenced a HUD document in my 4/24/2007 to her. I am very educated- I possess not only a TN Real Estate license but I also studied law and paralegal studies at the NWCC. I received a full Leadership Scholarship for college and studied Computer Literacy and Journalism in High School. Plus my mother, *********** has been the Executive Director for the Mid South Peace and Justice Center. She is currently an Environmental Activist for the Memphis Chapter of Sierra Club. I was shocked and amazed when Debi Pruitt neglected to even investigate my allegations of racial discrimination at that time.

    It is obvious that when Debi and Paula wrote false and misleading information on my termination notice they were reading straight from Chapter 8 of the HUD Handbook-
    Subsection F- Documenting Fraud
    which states “…tenant was made aware of program requirements and prohibitions. The strongest proof of fraud is an admission by the tenant. Fraudulent intent can also be demonstrated by documenting that the act was done repeatedly OR there was prior determination of fraudulent intent.”
    It is clear that they used the information referenced above to construct their false statements while they neglected to follow the HUD protocol outlined on the preceding page in
    Section D- Notifying and Meeting with the Tenant
    And
    Section E- Determining the Outcome of the Investigation.

    Page Three
    Paula Perry, Site Manager for Sandidge Hills Apartments and Debi Pruitt, Regional Property Manager for Dalcor Management, Inc. have since admitted to and apologized for these blatant acts of racial discrimination by rapidly processing my recertification paperwork on May 24, 2007. I signed my paperwork on May 29, 2007. (See letters enclosed).

    Please Note-
    I submitted a second complaint to HUD Property Manager, Damie Brentholtz on the day before dated and received 5/23/2007. Brenholtz then forwarded both my complaints to the Contract Administrator, Olive Branch Housing Authority for investigation that same day. I have never received a response to my first complaint to Damie Brenholtz that they received on May 17, 2007.

    I am asking for a Section 8 Voucher and $250,000 for emotional distress, retaliation, interference with the enjoyment of my dwelling, relocation expense, and the release of confidential information.

    I am currently seeking legal representation so I can actively pursue a class action lawsuit on behalf of all tenants past and present of the Sandidge Hills Apartments especially those who have been evicted OR asked to move following maintenance complaints.

    I have never been happy here and I am asking for a Section 8 Voucher so I can find safe and decent housing where I will be at peace with my children as soon as possible. Most apartment complexes have a waiting list and it would take six months to a year to get one. I have no money to move and if I hadn’t paid
     The $50 deposit for the apartment.
     The $100 deposit for the Electric Company.
     The $120 deposit for the Gas Company.
     $200 to the movers.
     $250 for the air conditioner ( Hillview Village provided air conditioners).
     And signed my lease &nbs p;&nbs p;
    I wouldn’t have ever accepted this apartment like this. My apartment at the Hillview Village was in excellent condition and I had just renewed my lease on 7/10/2006. I feel like a fool. It will be very hard to find affordable housing in Olive Branch, MS so I may have to seek housing back in Memphis , Tn. I guess this entire ordeal has been extremely upsetting to me because I have been homeless with my children before and I almost became homeless again.

    My rights were violated when Paula Perry and Debi Pruitt willfully, fraudulently, oppressively, and maliciously;
    1. lied on my Termination Notice about HUD telling Paula to evict me.
    2. rented the unit without showing it to me.
    3. lied about the condition of the unit on the Move In Inspection Form.
    4. provided me with unsafe, indecent, and unsanitary housing that is very different from that which is provided at the Rolling Hills Apartments that is predominately white. Both complexes are located in Olive Branch, MS, they are the same age, are the same size complex, have the same management but are maintained differently.
    5. created an unsafe and unhealthy environment of mold and mildew when they neglected to fix water leaking inside my bathroom wall or provide a smoke detector until 5/18/2007.
    Page Four
    6. tried to evict me in retaliation for maintenance complaints to HUD.
    7. did not make repairs (I reported my oven six months ago).
    8. attempted to delay the processing of my recertification with accusations of fraud.
    9. requested information for purposes not allowed by the HUD 9887 consent form.
    10. contacted Manpower Employment Services without a signed consent form.
    11. contacted Sitel Corporation without a signed consent form.
    12. contacted Hillview Village Apartments without a signed consent form.
    13. released confidential information off my 2006 Income Tax Return to Hillview Village Apartments and later lied and said HUD told them to do it.
    14. made verbal threats of prison and attempted to intimidate me by accusing me of fraud.
    15. requested income information from third parties after I was asked to move.
    16. Debi Pruitt failed to intervene when I reported racial discrimination to her on April 24, 2007.
    17. denied me an opportunity to contest findings of an investigation into my income.
    18. denied me a meeting to discuss my eviction.
    19. harassed me with letters that suggested possible eviction almost every day during the business week.
    20. caused me severe humiliation when I was accused of fraud and great emotional distress when I was served an eviction notice and couldn’t afford to move.
    21. did not give reasonable notice (or the notice promised in the Resident Handbook) before entering the apartment for preventive maintenance. They were a No Show most of the time when they gave notice.
    22. reinspected my apartment twice knowing no repairs had been made (3/21/2007 and 5/9/2007).
    23. failed my apartment for previously reported repairs, asked me to fix them, and quickly fixed most of it after they received my complaint to Damie Brenholtz.
    24. violated my privacy by entering my apartment without notice on May 4, 2007.
    25. violated my privacy by entering my apartment without notice on May 18, 2007.
    26. violated my privacy by entering my apartment without notice on May 25, 2007.
    27. lied on my Termination Notice about me not providing my tax return upon request.
    28. gave me the impression that I had lost my housing assistance and had to pay full market rent.
    29. harassed me after Paula Perry overheard me telling Cora Mae Jennings to talk to a lawyer about her stove blowing up in unit 56.
    30. used a key to enter my apartment twice while I was in the apartment (I was startled 3/21/2007 and on 4/23/2007).

    In my previous posts, I have described to some extent the harassment I am suffering from the police department in Olive Branch, MS. Basically, I get followed all over town, right on my bumper, very intimidating, as well as getting followed right into stores I shop at. (Happened three times) an OB policemen in uniform followed me right into the Barnes and Noble nearest Olive Branch, MS, and stood so close to me at my chair, he could have read the print in my book. These are a few of hundreds of examples. Night before last, their tactics got more aggressive, and I've had enough. I was scared and mad as hell. It's too much to give the whole story here. Except one pertinent piece of info. My last name (NOT GIVEN) is Jewish. The truth is it sounds Israeil! I had an OB policement (no I was not stopped, never have been) grill me about my "ARABIC" name! I got death threats after 9-11 by the way, that was before we moved to OB in MS. Thought my name was Arabic, Rabbi concurred, they probably thought it was Arabic.
    I have never in my entire life been arrested or even accused of a crime. I have a perfect driving record. Never even stole a candy bar from the five and dime (like my little friends did) when I was a kid. The OB police have never stopped me, because they had no reason to. Master's in education / 3.9 GPA honor student / artist / art teacher (unsold painting on artspan, first in a series of environmental paintings, called Black Death (Big oil)).
    OBPD are intimidating me (gang stalking), following me around town every where I go, even into stores where I shop. I drive real slow, so they will get frustrated and move on, but they don't, other drivers ZOOM around us, there we sit, me and the OB policeman. Even at red lights when you are supposed to turn on red, there they sit right behind me. I told this and a lot more to internal affairs at the OBPD in MS where I live. I asked him, "Is this YOUR driving experience?!" He said, "No" it's not.
    I phoned the FBI (finally got up the courage). Talked to an agent by the name of Agent asshole Bowling (Southaven, MS), male, unsympathetic, rude, nasty. BUT he did believe me. What he said was this, "That's little potatoes! NOT a federal crime." I said "Bullshit." He got mad. He said listen, "The OBPD is currently under investigation for beating up minorities in jail cells)" and elsewhere. Black, for the most part. Poor Black. God help the Muslims, if there are any in town. Black Muslims have got to be SOL. Trust me, being middle-class Jewish with an Israeli sounding name is bad enough! The OBPD is ignorant enough to think it is Arabic. This stalking is "little pototoes" as the FBI Agent asshole calls it.
    Asked and got a woman FBI agent on the phone, and she was a lot more sympathetic. She told me I had to talk to the internal affairs officer at the OBPD. That was the first step. I did. At first he blew me off like I was sure he would! Then he started listening. I gave detailed accounts of what was happening, and he said he would look at the police videos. He did say he would tell the OBPD to stay away from me, and I am praying behind what you can imagine that that happens, but I DOUBT IT! The game they are playing is too easy to do and too hard to prove. Though I will now keep a log, as directed, times, dates etc. They make it hard to see the police car number. I know, I've looked.
    They know all the tricks to keep from leaving proof! And they are good at it! Especially, now that the FBI is breathing down their necks. But it doesn't stop them, just makes them smarter, more careful!
    Oh, did I tell you I hired a detective (expensive) and he told me I was being followed. That was also in a bookstore, Borders in Memphis. The detective circled the buildling before he ever went in, he checked me out before he ever showed up for the meet. He told me I was being followed. Pointed to the man following me, asked if I knew him. I didn't. He was not in police uniform, no idea who he was. Detective didn't know either, and I couldn't afford to keep the detective on the payroll to find out.
    More to story. Extremely worried about the white power movement in MS and elsewhere in this country. They have gotten a whole lot smarter (they had little choice!) In the old days, they operated with impunity at least in the South. I know one or two folks high up in the military, one of whom was recently killed in Afghanistan, outside Kubul, a military intelligence officer -- Jewish. I know some one close to me, who saw the actual footage of what happened and said it looked like she was specifically targeted. It was a horrible heartbreak! And I am sure I am not supposed to be telling this on the Internet - I don't give a damn.

    SOS: I want OUT of MS and some place safe. I asked the FBI agent (female) what to do if an OB policeman stopped me. She said phone 911, go to a public, well-lighed place, and wait for help.

    I am not above asking for help! I don't mean to sound like a helpless female, but I'm working on getting stronger, more independent. I had it in mind to homestead, organic garden, freeze and can, live out my life gardening, painting, teaching. NOT TO BE, here anyway or with my husband.
    Meanwhile, I need to get OUT of HERE! I memtioned my husband. He has his dream job just over the stateline in Memphis, TN, just got a raise, pays well, and he chooses to ignore this whole situation. And yes, he says it's all pretty weird but I'm paranoid and crazy. Not only will he not help me, he refuses to believe me. Well, the FBI and internal affairs believe me! They took me seiously about what is happening, but they think it's "little potatoes." They have bigger fish to fry. Other people they are tring to help are being seriously hurt. In essence, they are saying call back if you get your head bashed in like the other folks we are tyring to help! I don't want to wait around for that, nor do I need the pleasure of saying, I told you so, see my bloody head!
    Well, all this is stressful as hell! I can't take anymore. Little potatoes or not, I don't want to stick around. I feel like I can't breathe. I want outl. I'll take any min. wage job (that plus what will soon be getting in alimony will be enough). Help me if you can, I'll return the favor. I have a high IQ. I can do just about anything and do it well! If you need help, I say, ask for it! My husband won't help me. I don't respect him anymore, and I'm divorcing him. It's on the docket.
    Spilled my heart and soul and I don't care! I've asked for help and no I'm not too proud to do it. I need to get out of here! Can anyone help me! North would be better.

    On a lighter note: A few months back in the DeSoto section of the Commercial Appeal (Memphis paper) I read an article about the KKK. I laughed my head off when I read it. The KKK tried to "adopt" a highway, about 15 miles from my house. I kid you not. Like they are the damn 4-H club of something. Well, the mayor put a stop to that, he's trying to get business and people with money to move to town. A big sign that said Ku Klux Klan adopt a highway wasn't going to help the tax base. Would have made terrific target practice though! I laughed all day when I read that! KKK still with us folks. Don't you doubt it.

    Microwave torture and organized stalking game: The Movie: This is a short film that functions as a long commercial, approximately 10-15 minutes with very high quality production values.
    Producer: Joel Silver
    Director: James McTeigue
    Writers: Wachowski brothers
    Distribution: Warner Brothers
    Script: A montage of existing films that feature a citizen who is being monitored and tracked by unnamed US government agencies. In many of these films the main protagonist is able to evade and turn the table on his tormentors. Examples, Enemy of the State…The Manchurian Candidate, 1984.
    The montage of targeted individuals on the run who are being tracked with GPS technology and the use of people in the street to aid in this tracking as well as the use of people on the street who actively harass the target similar to the experience of “running the gauntlet”. People in public are able to participate or “play the game” and deliver verbal barbs and other forms of assaults such as spitting, cursing, sneering, laughing, bumping into them, stepping in front of them in blocking maneuvers, swerving at them with an automobile, cutting them off in traffic, breaking into their home and sabotaging and stealing things, rearranging the furniture, tampering with food and drinks. In existing films the target is able to elude the government but in this game there is no escape from dedicated gangs or cells who move into the neighborhood or from the man on the street who is paid by the government to participate in the stalking game. Citizens use their cell phones to track the target and go onto yahoo groups to get clues for key words, things to say to use against the TI. The TI (targeted individual) is tracked in every city, state, and country. They are hit with a form of microwave energy that physically heats up their bodies and emits an audible hum to them alone. The effects are nausea, heart palpitations, extreme sleep deprivation, loss of memory, loss of concentration, headaches, vertigo, disorientation, retinal bleeding, temporary paralysis, convulsions, seizures, heart attacks, and eventually cancer and death. This use of microwave technology to target people represents the latest in anti-personnel classified military technology aimed at causing severe trauma and neutralizing the TI. Even though no one ever lays a hand on the TI physically the constant harassment in public and the isolation, physical trauma, sleep deprivation and other effects of the electromagnetic weapons cause many TI’s to eventually take their own lives. This story begins when the TI wakes after 2 hours sleep and they remember what they have been through and why. The TI was a political activist and whistleblower who has been turned into a human guinea pig. The stalking game is accomplished so skillfully that no one but the target is alerted and the EM attacks leave no obvious traces. The TI somehow makes it through the day but is isolated, unemployed and facing homelessness. It is revealed that this torture has been going on for 10-15 years. The TI is left alone facing the choice of one more day of torture or suicide. The moderator is the TI.

    to which he/she may not be formerly aware of, as well as to prevent
    future victimizations.
    THE DEFINTION OF GANG STALKING
    Gang Stalking is stalking by multiple perpetrators, most of whom are
    unknown to the victim, for the expressed desire to harass using
    psychological abuse and intimidation.
    SYNONYMS FOR GANG STALKING
    Synonyms for Gang Stalking are not limited to, but include the
    following; Group Stalking, Cause Stalking, Community Stalking,
    Vigilante Stalking, Organized Stalking, Multi-Stalking, and
    "Gas-Lighting".
    THE GOAL OF GANG STALKING
    The expressed goal of Gang Stalking is to silence a victim, drive a
    victim insane and possibly to the point of suicide, or destroy the
    victim's reputation and believability as the person will likely be
    viewed as mentally ill should they complain or report the abuse. Gang
    Stalking is also used to gather information on individuals as well as
    force individuals to move or leave an area.
    MOTIVATIONS FOR THE ABUSE
    Motivations for Gang Stalking vary. Revenge for a real or imagined
    offense, true or false accusations of a "horrible crime" of which the
    victim has gotten away with, silencing a corporate "whistle-blower",
    defecting from a cult, a perceived enemy of a group or organization,
    and "knowing too much" are all examples of possible motivations. Due
    consideration should be used as the motivations of the stalking groups
    are in no way limited to the above.
    WHO ARE THE STALKERS?
    The stalkers, for the most part, are everyday citizens. Other stalkers
    are "street thugs" who have been hired to harass and intimidate. Some
    Stalkers are actual Private Investigators who have been hired to gather
    information concerning the victim. Many stalkers are members of
    volunteer police groups.
    WHY PEOPLE PARTICIPATE IN GANG STALKING
    -Some stalkers are told lies, either positive or negative in nature, in
    order to gain their participation
    -Some stalkers are paid or receive other benefits
    -Stalkers belonging to an organization may simply be following orders.
    -Some stalkers may use their participation in order to repay a past
    favor.
    -Racism, Prejudice, Anti-Semitism, Homophobia, or otherwise Hatred of a
    victim
    -Peer Pressure/ Need to Fit In
    -Former stalkers have stated they participated out of fear of becoming
    the next target should they go against the group.
    -Entertainment Value/Thrill of Participation in an Illegal activity.
    -Some stalkers mistakenly believe it is their civil duty.
    WHO, OR WHAT, IS ULTIMATELY BEHIND GANG STALKING?
    Corporations, Government Organizations, Military,
    Societies/Fraternities/Orders, Religious Cults and Destructive "New
    Age" Groups, "Concerned" Community Groups/Vigilante Groups, Criminal
    Organizations, Volunteer Police Organizations, etc.
    EXAMPLES OF GANG STALKING HARASSMENT
    Slashed Tires, Threatening Phone Calls, Verbal Assaults by Strangers,
    Property Damage, Death Threats, "Peeping Toms", Following on Foot or by
    Vehicle, Bizarre Notes and Drawings Left, Loitering, Anonymous False
    Accusations to Friends, Family, and Neighbors, Character Assassination,
    Smear Campaigns, "Black-Listing", Psychological Abuse, etc.
    TACTICS USED BY STALKERS
    ANCHORING
    Anchoring is a technique employed by stalkers to implant a false
    motivation or reason behind the stalking, preventing the victim from
    discovering the truth. In more sinister examples, Anchoring involves
    the implantation of evidence to persuade the victim some other group or
    organization is responsible for the abuse.
    Anchoring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring
    BAITING
    The term "Baiting" is a stalking tactic used to lure a victim into
    environments, or situations, which cause further problems to the
    victim. Often "Baiting" involves tricking a victim into committing a
    crime or unknowingly engaging in an illegal activity.
    BRIGHTING
    Brighting is a term jokingly referred to by stalkers to indicate the
    practice of repetitive flashing of a car's high-beam headlights. The
    victim is usually followed and may be "flashed" from either a
    "tail-gating" vehicle or a passing or on-coming one. "Brighting" also
    occurs when bright lights are flashed into a victim's home-windows.
    Brighting http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Brighting
    COLOR HARASSMENT
    Color Harassment is literally the use of color to harass a victim.
    Usually, monochromatic color schemes are used, though this choice is
    pretty much up to the stalkers. An example of Color Harassment would be
    a line of stalkers, in red shirts, circling a victim. Color Harassment
    is often combined with other stalking tactics.
    CONVOY
    Convoy is a tactic of stalkers referring to the practice of a group of
    "tail-gaiting" cars passing repeatedly in front of the home of the
    victim. Vehicles used may be of the same color, and stalkers may honk
    the car horn or flash the car headlights as they pass.
    CYBER-STALKING
    Cyber-Stalking is a related group of harassing behavior occurring via
    internet/online. Cyber-Stalking includes, but is not limited to;
    Computer Hacking, "Trolling", Spamming (Often including "Porn
    Deluges"), Verbal Assaults, Character Assassination, and Impersonations
    of the victim.

    http://www.stalking-research.org.uk/index.php
    DIRECTED CONVERSATION
    Directed Conversation is a term referring to a stalking tactic using
    stranger's conversation to both intimidate and to convey to the victim
    that they are under surveillance. During Directed Conversation, two or
    more stalkers will approach near to the target and engage in "normal"
    conversation with one another. The conversation is purposefully made
    at a level so that the victim can adequately hear what is being said.
    During Directed Conversation, personal information concerning the
    victim is inserted into the speech and emphasized by the stalkers in a
    fashion that most non-victims would not be able to discern as
    harassment. The purpose of Directed Conversation is to harass a
    victim, as well as make the victim appear mentally unstable should they
    attempt to complain about such abuse.
    ELECTRONIC HARASSMENT
    Electronic Harassment is the use of technological devices to spy on or
    cause harm to targeted victims. For example, exposure to a high
    magnetic field has been shown to induce hallucinations in humans while
    exposure to intense microwave radiation induces psychotic episodes and
    causes brain damage. A frequent form of Electronic Harassment involves
    beaming a low frequency "hum" or "tone" into a victim's home or general
    area. Over time, the exposure causes the victim to lose sleep, become
    agitated, and suffer the effects of prolonged stress. Such tactics are
    also being used in cases of hostage situations as well as covert
    government operations.

    Electro-Magnetic Devices"

    GHOSTING
    The term Ghosting refers to the practice of rearranging, or moving, of
    a victim's home furniture, lawn decorations, desk decorations at work,
    etc. The purpose of Ghosting is to make a victim question his or her
    sanity. Ghosting is also designed to make other's question the sanity
    of the victim, especially if the victim attempts to complain of the
    abuse.
    MIMICRY
    Mimicry is a specialized form of harassment in which the stalkers
    publicly imitate every movement made by the victim.
    MOBBING
    Mobbing is a term that describes "Group Bullying". Of itself, Mobbing
    is not equated with Gang Stalking. However, Mobbing may be a tactic
    used by the perpetrators of Gang Stalking.
    Mobbing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobbing
    NOISE CAMPAIGN
    A Noise Campaign is an orchestrated effort to produce stress in a
    victim through prolonged exposure to significant noise levels. A Noise
    Campaign can range from multiple neighbors routinely playing loud
    music, individual stalkers with air-horns or fireworks, or organized
    "repair work" that involves a high level of noise.
    SENSITIZATION
    Sensitization is a psychological term referring to the forced
    association between a stimuli and a corresponding reaction. Stalkers
    use Sensitization to psychologically abuse a victim. For example, if a
    stalker constantly harasses a victim while wearing a blue baseball cap,
    then overtime the victim will begin to believe anyone wearing a blue
    baseball cap is a stalker and is coming to harass. Sensitization
    undoubtedly creates an extreme level of fear in a victim, in direct
    fulfillment of the intentions of the stalkers.
    Sensitization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitization
    STREET THEATER
    Street Theater is a term used to describe the odd-actions and behaviors
    that stalkers do in public, in an attempt to rile the victim. Such
    behavior often borders on the extremely bizarre and is aimed at a
    blurring of the boundaries between reality and fantasy in the minds of
    the victims. Examples of Street Theater: Baiting, Brighting, Color
    Harassment, Convey, Directed Conversation, Ghosting, Mimicry, Noise
    Campaigns, etc.
    VARIATIONS OF GANG STALKING
    GAS-LIGHTING
    The term Gas-Lighting originates from the 1944 film Gaslight. In the
    movie, the character of Gregory Anton, played by actor Charles Boyer,
    attempts to drive the character Pauline, played by actress Ingrid
    Bergman, insane. The phrase Gas-Lighting has come to mean similar
    actions and behavior, as used in the film, against a victim.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_%281944_film%29
    CONSUMER STALKING
    Consumer Stalking is harassment and abuse directed at a consumer who
    has either filed a complaint against a company, filed a lawsuit against
    a company, or who is made aware of illegal activity occurring within a
    company. Often companies will fund stalkers simply in an attempt to
    prevent the victim from filing a lawsuit, via using fear and
    intimidation tactics. Consumer Stalking can also be used to describe
    certain illegal activities of debt collectors.
    CORPORATE STALKING
    The term Corporate Stalking refers to a particularly severe form of
    Gang-Stalking, where a corporation actually provides funding toward the
    harassment and abuse of a targeted individual, usually someone who is a
    "whistle-blower", a perceived "problem employee", or else an employee
    who has witnessed illegal activity occurring within the corporation.
    The most sinister, and downright evil, tactic used during Corporate
    Stalking is forcing the victim to see the company psychologist. In
    most cases, the company psychologist is made aware that the victim is a
    "dissident" and a threat that needs to be eliminated. A false
    diagnosis of "general psychosis", "schizophrenia", or other mental
    illness is made, as well as a recommendation of institutionalization.

    "NIGGER BAITING", "JEW BAITING", AND "QUEER BAITING"
    "Nigger Baiting" and "Jew Baiting" are both derogatory slang for Gang
    Stalking as jokingly referred to by members of The KKK and other
    Aryan-based groups who either participate in, or know of it's usage
    against African American and Jewish people. "Queer Baiting" is
    derogatory slang for Gang Stalking as jokingly referred to by those who
    participate in or know of its usage against Homosexual/Gay Men.

    "SLAPP"
    The term, "SLAPP", short for Strategic Lawsuits against Public
    Participation, is a term used to describe a systematic and highly
    organized form of stalking used by corporations in an effort to
    "stomp-out" resistance prior to the implementation of a controversial
    goal or plan. Just as the name implies, trivial lawsuits are filed
    against known activists, and organizations, simply in an effort to
    drain funding. "SLAPP" is quite effective at weakening, or eliminating,
    any perceived opposition.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAPP
    "THE WHITE GLOVE TREATMENT"
    "The White Glove Treatment" is slang for Gang Stalking as jokingly
    referred to by the Masons who either participate in, or know of its
    usage against so-called "Enemies of Freemasonry". [Note: The phrase
    "The White Glove Treatment" is not limited to Freemasonry, as members
    of similar groups and organizations often practice Gang Stalking. Also
    realize that Gang Stalking isn't, and has never been, sanctioned by any
    Grand Lodge or Governing Body of Freemasonry. It is a rogue practice
    carried out by groups of Masons without sanction or permission from
    superiors. This said, the practice is, unfortunately, widespread.]
    WORK-PLACE MOBBING
    "Work-Place Mobbing" is mobbing that occurs "on the job" and for a
    variety of reasons. Motivations behind this form of Gang-Stalking
    include, but are not limited to, the following; mobbing used to force a
    person to quit a job, usually in order to prevent paying of a benefit
    such as a severance package, unemployment, or retirement, silencing an
    employee who has knowledge of illegal activities occurring in the
    company, or forcing an employee to quit/resign as to open the position
    to another candidate. Mobbing has recently become a serious issue in
    corporate environments. Many countries, like Canada, Australia, and
    the USA, have strengthened their "Anti-Mobbing" laws as a result of
    such increase.

    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
    Does the word "Gang", as in Gang Stalking, refer to "Street Gangs"?
    -No. The word, "Gang", refers to multiple people who organize/group
    together for a common purpose.
    What is the difference between Stalking, by a single perpetrator, and
    Gang Stalking?
    -All forms of stalking are physically, emotionally, and psychologically
    harmful to the victim. With regards to Gang Stalking, the abuse is
    particularly invasive as the victim is not able to distinguish friend
    from foe. The majority of the population is aware of cases such as
    "jilted lover as stalker", and can readily identify key features of
    such abuse. The little-known phenomena of Gang Stalking allows the
    perpetrators anonymity and enables future victimizations, as stalkers
    are actually encouraged by the lack of repercussions. Please keep in
    mind that victims of Gang Stalking have to deal with an abuse
    engineered to make them appear insane should they complain to
    authorities. It is no wonder that victims of Gang Stalking are far
    more likely to commit suicide than victims of individual stalkers.
    Is Gang Stalking illegal?
    -Yes! Despite what the leaders or members of stalking groups say or
    believe, all forms of stalking and harassment are illegal.
    Criminal Stalking Laws by State
    http://www.ncvc.org/src/main.aspx?dbID=DB_State-byState_Statutes117
    Has any former Stalker ever spoken out against Gang Stalking?
    -Yes! David Lawson, a licensed Private Investigator in Florida,
    participated in Gang Stalking for approximately 12 years. He has since
    wrote a book, Terrorist Stalking in America, detailing how and why the
    government, corporations, organizations, and societies hire people to
    stalk, torture, and harass certain individuals.
    Organized Stalking by Groups: Summarized Points from "Terrorist
    Stalking in America" http://www.catchcanada.org/organizedstalking.htm
    What type of person is most at risk for becoming a victim of Gang
    Stalking?
    -Minorities, "Whistle-Blowers", Activists, Homosexuals, Dissidents,
    Suspected Pedophiles (Despite the Truth of any Allegations),
    Informants, People who "Know too Much", Political Rivals, Witnesses to
    a Crime, People who were "at the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time",
    Victims of Human Experimentation, etc.
    Is it true that Police often participate in Gang Stalking?
    -Unfortunately, Yes. Many police officers are also members of
    organizations that practice Gang Stalking. Also, many police officers
    use community groups to help keep neighborhoods safe from would-be
    predators, disregarding the innocent people who get harassed and
    stalked in the process. The police officers who are sympathetic towards
    victims of Gang Stalking have admitted that they are fully aware of the
    phenomena but have little power to stop it due to it's widespread
    nature.
    What part of the country is one most likely to be Gang Stalked?
    -Victims have reported Gang Stalking in every state of the union, as
    well as international.
    What is the first documented case of Gang Stalking?
    -The KKK was the first group who openly admitted to using Gang Stalking
    practices against African Americans, Jews, Homosexuals, and Caucasians
    involved in Civil Right Campaigns.
    In 1826 a man named William Morgan, a former Freemason turned
    Anti-Mason, threatened to write a book detailing all of the supposed
    secrets of the craft. He experienced harassment and abuse, identical
    to that of Gang Stalking, prior to being abducted. His ultimate fate
    remains unknown. Though these are just two examples, it is likely that
    Gang Stalking has occurred in some form since the beginning of
    civilization.

    Do the Stalkers ever question or check to see if a targeted victim is
    indeed guilty of a crime?
    -No. There is an "assumption of guilt" among the stalkers. Also,
    remember that many stalkers are paid for their harassment, so these
    individuals are not concerned with the innocence or guilt of a victim.
    Assuming a victim knows the group that is behind their stalking, should
    they attempt to openly communicate with them?
    -Absolutely Not! For one, the stalkers automatically assume the victim
    is guilty of an atrocity, and thus "deserves" the treatment. Second,
    many stalkers actually want the victim to engage them in some fashion.
    In these instances the interaction will be recorded and used as
    evidence against the victim, especially in attempts to suggest the
    victim is mentally unstable.
    If a charitable and respectable society practices Gang Stalking on the
    side, should we assume the victims deserve such treatment?
    -Absolutely not! When people take the law into their own hands, any
    notion of "law" is destroyed altogether. I should emphasize that the
    majority of Gang Stalking victims are completely innocent of any
    crimes. Any group that performs Gang Stalking is not positive in
    nature, nor beneficial to society, despite any charitable works they
    may perform. Likewise, such societies only remain "respectable"
    because any and all evidence of "wrong doing" is conveniently destroyed
    or eliminated.
    Are Stalkers involved in a Cult?
    -Yes, some stalkers are indeed members of cults. Both victims and
    former stalkers have reported groups with Heretical Christian, Pagan,
    and New-Age agendas and beliefs, as practicing Gang Stalking.
    What is the connection between Gang Stalking Groups and "The New-Age"?
    -Most people are not aware of the connections between "New Age
    Philosophy" and the Third Reich, nor are they aware that many of the
    New-Age writers and thinkers of the past were out-spoken Racists,
    Elitists, and Anarchists. It is in the spirit of this "dark-side" that
    New-Age groups today participate in, and organize, Gang Stalking.

    Cult whose wealthy and influential members committed murder, as well as
    an eventual mass-suicide.)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Solar_Temple
    Is Gang Stalking being used as a form of Human Psychological
    Experimentation?
    -In some cases Gang Stalking is indeed being used to silence a victim
    of human experimentation, as well as conduct certain psychological
    tests on the unsuspecting public.

    ADVICE TO VICTIMS
    Remain Calm (Remember, the stalkers want you to appear crazy, as to
    discredit you.)
    The Importance of Witnesses (When in a public place, try to have a
    trusted companion who can verify the validity of any harassment.)
    Keep a Journal (Keep detailed records of each episode of harassment, as
    well as the names, addresses, phone numbers, and other personal
    information of the people you know to be involved in the harassment.
    Keep such documentation as professional as possible. Do not use this
    journal for any other reason, other than documenting the harassment.
    With regard to the stalkers you don't know personally, try to record a
    description of their faces, eye color, skin color, hair color, height,
    and weight. If you notice a certain stalker on more than one occasion,
    document this as well.
    Video Cameras (Install them on your property and in your vehicle)
    Cell Phones (Do not leave the house without one)
    Cameras (Keep one on hand when going outside or in public)
    The Importance of Religion/Spirituality (Stalkers may cause physical,
    emotional, and psychological pain, but don't let them destroy your
    Spirit)
    The Importance of Humor (Humor is a very positive and healing attribute
    victims should utilize to combat the harm of stalkers)
    Test your Friends, Family, Co-Workers, and Associates (Devise a test to
    determine if an individual is working for/participating in the
    stalking. [Note: It is quite unfortunate that a victim must "test"
    friends and family to determine if they are perpetrators. This said,
    testing of friends and family members is vital for the survival and
    safety of victims.]
    Form Relationships with Neighbors/Strengthen Existing Ones (Neighbors
    are far more likely to not fall for the lies told by stalkers if there
    is an existing relationship)
    Network with other Victims (Contact other victims and share support)
