Are you being Gang Stalked by Stasi tactics ?   
What is Gang Stalking? (Fascism Tactics)

Gang Stalking is a systemic form of control, which seeks to control every aspect of a Targeted Individuals life. Gang Stalking has many similarities to workplace mobbing, but takes place outside in the community. It's called Gang Stalking, because the target is followed around and placed under surveillance by groups of organised Civilian Spies/Snitches 24/7.

Many Targeted Individuals are harassed in this way for months or even years before they realise that they are being targeted by an organised protocol of harassment.

What happens during Gang Stalking is very similar to what happened to many innocent individuals in the former East Germany or Activists and Dissidents in Russia. Many innocent people in the former East Germany would be targeted for these harassment programs, and then their friends, family, and the community at large would be used to monitor, prosecute, and harass them. In Russia it was used by the state to declare activist, dissidents or anyone they thought to be an enemy of the state as mentally unfit and many were institutionalised using this form of systemic control.

The closest thing to Gang Stalking that democratic countries have seen before is McCarthyism, Cointelpro, and RED SQUAD programs. Red Squad programs were used for monitoring, and harassment of various groups and they have been in place for over a hundred years.

Civilian spies are recruited from every level and sector of society. Just like with Cointelpro investigations, everyone in the targets life is made a part of this ongoing never ending systemic form of control and harassment. These actions are specifically designed to control the target and to keep them in line. These actions are also designed to destroy the target over years, make them look crazy and leave them with no form of support.

For the targets of this harassment, Gang Stalking is experienced as a covert psychological, emotional and physical attack, that is capable of immobilizing and destroying a target over time. For the state it’s a way to keep the targets in line, control them, or destroy them.

Worldwide programs of control and conformity have been used with equal success and lethality. What we are seeing now is a global co-ordinated and organised effort of control and conformity. Reports of Gang Stalking are not only coming in from democratic countries, but they are coming in from many other countries as well.

The modern day systemic form of control could only be funded at higher governmental levels, just like it has in other societies where these similar types of harassment programs have been implemented. It's all part of a system of control and conformity that has been in place for many years. A system of control with many local groups and appendages taking part.

 
What are other Names for Gang Stalking?

There are many names for this form of systemic control and harassment. Under the Gang Stalking label you will also find such terms as Organised Stalking, Cause Stalking, Multi-Stalking, Community Mobbing, but it's all part of the same harassment protocol. What many people do not realise is that Gang Stalking is just one appendage of this systemic form of control. There are other forms of control used to repress, and keep individuals in line. Other forms or appendages include, but are not limited to: Mobbing, Cointelpro, The Buzzsaw, Covert War, Electronic Harassment, etc. These are the just some of the names being given to a very old game, that is once again being played by governments on their unsuspecting citizens.

How are targets chosen?

Targets can be chosen because of many reasons. They can be chosen for political views. They can be chosen for whistle-blowing. They can be chosen because they belong to a dissident movement. They can be chosen because they asserted there rights at work. They can be chosen because they made the wrong enemy. Were considered to be too outspoken, unwittingly investigated something that the state did not want investigated, signed a petition, wrote a letter. They were deemed as suspicious by a civilian spy/snitch and their names were handed over.

It’s becoming apparent that targets might be chosen for this systemic form of control, if they are not already in some way a part of this controlled system. Eg. Many Targeted Individuals seem to be unaware that large chunks of our society are snitching and spying on each other.

 
What are the goals of Gang Stalking?

The goal is to isolate the target from all forms of support, so that the target can be set up in the future for arrest, institutionalisation, or forced suicide. Other goals of this harassment is to destroy the targets reputation and credibility. Make the target look crazy or unstable.

Other goals involve sensitizing the target to every day stimuli’s as a form of control, which is used to control targets when they get out of line.

These people also want to make the targets of this harassment vulnerable, they want to make them destitute. The secondary goals seem to be to make the target homeless, jobless, give them a breakdown, and the primary goals seems to be to drive the target to forced suicide, just like what they did with some of the targets of Cointelpro. It's a useful way of eliminating perceived enemies of the state.

Who gets targeted?

Targeting can happen to anyone in society. Primary targets in the past have been but are not limited to: minorities, outspoken individuals, whistle blowers, dissidents, people who go up against large wealthy corporations, woman’s groups,(single) women, anti-war proponents, and other innocent individuals. The majority of the targets are often not aware that they are being targeted in this way. When a target moves, changes jobs, the harassment still continues. Every time the target moves, the same lies and slander will be spread and the systemic harassment will continue.

 
Who takes part?

People from all walks of life are being recruited to be the eyes and ears of the state. People from all races, ages, genders. Every sector of society that you can think of is a part of this. Civilian Spies/Snitches include, but are not limited to: General labourers, the wealthy, bikers, drug dealers, drug users, street people, punks, hip hop culture, KKK, black activists, church groups, youth groups. Your best friend, lawyer, policeman, doctor, emergency services, neighbour, military forces, family, social services, politician, judge, dentist, tradesman, vet, supermarket, council, postman, religious leader, care worker, etc. See groups/organisations at the foot of this article.

Some of these citizens might be recruited via programs such as, Citizen Corp, Weed and Seed, Citizens On Phone Patrol,(COPP), City Watch, T.I.P.S. Many started with good intentions to help patrol and monitor their cities and neighbourhoods. Others are recruited via their families, others at school, others at work. Since every sector, class, race in society takes part, recruitment is multi-faceted.

Many do not understand or care that the end consequence of this harassment protocol is to destroy a person.

Why people participate in Gang Stalking?

There are many reasons that someone takes part in this activity.

1. Some do it for the sense of power that it gives them.

2. Others do this as a way to make friends and keep friends. It’s something social and fun for them to do. Many in society use the one handed sign language to communicate and it's very effective in breaking down race, gender, age, social barriers.

3. Others are forced or black mailed by the State or the police into taking part.

4. They are told that they are part of homeland or national security and being used to help keep and eye on dangerous or emotionally disturbed individuals. They see themselves as heroic spies for the state.

Civilian spies can come from a variety of different programs such as the Citizen Corp, Citizen On Phone Patrol COPP, Weed and Seed, T.I.P.S., City Watch or some other centralized government program used for patrolling and monitoring cities.

5. Others are just local thugs or Informants who are already being used for other activities, and their energies are just diverted over into these community spy programs. Eg. Some may be given the choice of Spying for the State or the police vs going to jail.6. Others are told outright lies and slander about the target to get them to go along with ruining the targets life.

7. Many are however just average citizens who have been recruited by the state the same way citizens were recruited in the former East Germany and other countries. It's the way the society is.

 
What are some techniques used against targets?

a) Classical conditioning.

Getting a Targeted Individual sensitized to an everyday stimuli. The targeted individual over a period of months, or even years is negatively sensitised to an everyday stimuli, which is then used to harass them. It’s used out in public to let them know they are constantly being harassed and monitored. Some examples of everyday stimulus that might be used include: sounds, colors, patterns, actions. Eg. Red, blue, white, yellow, strips, pens clicking, key jangling, loud coughing, loud whistling, loud smacking of clapping of hands together, cell phones, laptops, erratic/strange driving (and behaviour) etc.

b) 24/7 Surveillance This will involve following the target everywhere they go. Learning about the target. Where they shop, work, play, who their friends and family are. Getting close to the target, moving into the community or apartment where they live, across the street. Monitoring the targets phone, house, and computer activity.

c) Isolation of said target.

This is done via slander campaigns, and lies. Eg. People in the targets community are told that the target is a thief, into drugs, a prostitute, pedophile, crazy, in trouble for something, needs to be watched. False files will even be produced on the target, shown to neighbours, family, store keepers.

d) Noise and mimicking campaigns.

Disrupting the targets life, sleep with loud power tools, construction, stereos, doors slamming, etc. Talking in public about private things in the targets life. Mimicking actions of the target. Basically letting the target know that they are in the targets life. Daily interferences, nothing that would be too overt to the untrained eye, but psychologically degrading and damaging to the target over time. Search online for Gang-Stalking, Gas-lighting, Mobbing, Street Theatre and follow the links.

e) Everyday life breaks and street theatre.

Flat tires, sleep deprivation, drugging food, putting dirt on targets property, search the online Gang Stalking Forums for lots more. Mass strangers doing things in public to annoy targets. These strangers might get called/text messaged to be at a specific time and place, and perform a specific action.

It might seem harmless to these strangers, but it could be causing great psychological trauma for the target. Eg. Blocking targets path, getting ahead of them in line, cutting or boxing them in on the road, saying or doing things to elicit a response from targets. Etc.

 
Where does the support or funding for this come from? (see groups/organisations below)

Though Gang Stalking itself is immoral and unethical in nature, programs such as this in democratic countries, and none democratic countries have always been funded by the Government. They are the only ones with enough money, coordination, and power to keep such a system in place. These Co-ordinated efforts then join hands with others for this systemic form of control and harassment.

“Ruling the community with an iron fist. “Savvy law enforcement types realized that under the community policing rubric, cops, community groups, local companies, private foundations, citizen informants and federal agencies could form alliances without causing public outcry.” Covert Action Quarterly, summer 1997.”

What can you do to help?

1. If you know someone who is being targeted in this way please don’t go along with it. Don’t assume that the person is guilty or a bad person. Many innocent people are currently being targeted, and people are being told lies. This form of harassment is systemic and it's about state control and conformity. The express goal of this harassment is to destroy the individual over time.

2. If you are aware of someone being harassed in this way, subtly direct them to websites that deal with Gang Stalking, or sites for Targeted Individuals. Knowledge is power.

3. You can subtly offer your support to someone who is being unfairly treated, in very small little ways.

4. You can bring up the subject of Gang Stalking or Targeted Individuals.

6. You can subtly suggest that your local newspapers or community papers print articles about Targeted Individuals or even an write an objective piece about Gang Stalking.

How do participants communicate?

Communication happens in a number of ways. When on the street or in cars patrolling, they use baseball or Stasi like signals. These include things like tapping the side of the nose, corner of the eye, brushing back the hair 3 times, the infamous double blink, etc.

This evil is so bizarre that the perpetrators have a party/celebration when they have collectively destroyed an innocent victim. We collectively have to "Stop The Madness" or Fascism will destroy everything, regardless. It is your duty to copy this article and spread the truth about what's really happening in the community.

Here is a small list of groups/organisations that get used to destroy society (and themselves). Masons, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Knights of Columbus, Opus Dei, Speculative Society, Round Table, Rotarians, Orange Order, Scientology, Monarch Programming, all Religions and Institutions. Also people who have been baited/set up/conned, etc. Here is a list of Stasi signals that the these groups use at Stasi secret police. http://www.nthposition.com/stasiland.php Further reference www.joestirling.com  www.ljpr.info   www.davidicke.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9

Shirley this is one of the great posts. There's something for everyone 
in here and it cranks up the fear a treat. I would have no hesitation in 
recommending this for Post of the Week. In fact, from now on, I may well 
decide to conduct my hectic schedule on the assumption that I am 
constantly under surveillance, like on Big Brother. Mikey to win of 
course. (He doesn't give a monkey's.)

Re: Are you being Gang Stalked by Stasi tactics ?   
Hi Joe,

I think it's great that you are getting the word out about Gang
Stalking, very serous subject indeed. I would only ask that if you are
going to use content from the Gang Stalking World website, please
leave the content in tack, and provide a link.

http://www.GangStalkingWorld.com

Gang Stalking is a systemic form of control, which seeks to control
every aspect of a Targeted Individuals life. Gang Stalking has many
similarities to workplace mobbing, but takes place outside in the
community. It called Gang Stalking, because the target is followed
around and placed under intrusive and directed surveillance by groups
of organised "Covert Human Intelligence Sources" also known as Citizen
Informants 24/7. Using anti-terror laws to spy on ordinary people.

Many Targeted Individuals are harassed and placed under surveillance
in this way for months or even years before they realise that they are
being targeted by an organised protocol of harassment.

What happens during this Gang Stalking surveillance is very similar to
what happened to many innocent individuals in the former East Germany
or Activists and Dissidents in Russia. Many innocent people in the
former East Germany would be targeted for these harassment programs,
and then their friends, family, and the community at large would be
used to monitor, prosecute, and harass them. In Russia it was used by
the state to declare activist, dissidents or anyone they thought to be
an enemy of the state as mentally unfit and many were
institutionalised using this form of systemic control.

The closest thing to Gang Stalking that democratic countries have seen
before this is McCarthyism, Cointelpro, and RED SQUAD programs. Red
Squad programs were used for monitoring, and harassment of various
groups. They have been in place for over a hundred years, and they
also employed Covert Human Intelligence Sources.

Civilian Spies, also known as "Covert Human Intelligence Sources" are
recruited from every level and sector of society. Just like with
Cointelpro investigations, everyone in the targets life is made a part
of this ongoing never ending, systemic psychological harassment and
manipulation of the target. These actions are specifically designed to
control the target and to keep them in line. These actions are also
designed to destroy the target over years, make them look crazy and
leave them with no form of support.

For the targets of this harassment, Gang Stalking is experienced as a
covert psychological, emotional and physical attack, that is capable
of immobilizing and destroying a target over time. For the state it’s
a way to keep the targets in line, control them, or destroy them.

Worldwide programs of control and conformity have been used with equal
success and lethality. What we are seeing now is a global co-ordinated
and organised effort of control and conformity. Many countries around
the world are currently using a model of policing called: Community
Oriented Policing. It's described as a systemic approach to policing.
It focuses on instilling a sense of community within a geographically
located neighborhood. Communities come together and discuss what
values they would like to have in their community, community
development, and it's also a time to discuss any problems that might
be happening in a specific area. If a problem is identified an
investigation might be opened. These local programs in many countries
have been forming partnerships with other government run programs at,
provincial, state and federal levels. Reports of Gang Stalking are not
only coming in from democratic countries, but they are coming in from
many other countries as well.

The modern day systemic form of control could only be funded at higher
governmental levels, just like it has in other societies where these
similar types of harassment programs have been implemented. It's all
part of a system of control and conformity that has been in place for
many years. A system of control with many local groups and appendages
taking part.


What are the goals of Gang Stalking?


The goal is to isolate the target from all forms of support, so that
the target can be set up in the future for arrest,
institutionalisation, or forced suicide. Other goals of this
harassment is to destroy the targets reputation and credibility. Make
the target look crazy or unstable.

Other goals involve sensitizing the target to every day stimuli’s as a
form of control, which is used to control targets when they get out of
line. Once the target is sensitized, the Citizen Informants have an
easier time identifying the Targeted Individual in public.

These programs are designed to make the targets of this harassment
vulnerable, they want to make them destitute. The secondary goals
seems to be to make the target homeless, jobless, give them a
breakdown, and the primary goals seems to be to drive the target to
forced suicide, just like what they did with some of the targets of
Cointelpro. It's a useful way of eliminating perceived enemies of the
state.


Who gets targeted?


Targeting can happen to anyone in society. In the past primary targets
of programs such as Cointelpro have been minorities. Targeting however
can happen to anyone. Individuals are often targeted for being
outspoken, whistle blowers, dissidents, people who go up against
wealthy corporations, woman’s groups, (single) women, anti-war
proponents, individuals identified or targeted as problems at these
community meetings, and other innocent individuals. The majority of
the targets are often not aware that they are being targeted in this
way. When a target moves, changes jobs, the harassment still
continues. Every time the target moves, the same information, lies,
and slander will be spread out into the new community and the systemic
monitoring and harassment will continue. Traits of those targeted


Who takes part?


People from all walks of life are being recruited to be the eyes and
ears of the state. People from all races, ages, genders. Every sector
of society that you can think of is a part of this. Civilian Spies/
Snitches include, but are not limited to: General labourers, the
wealthy, bikers, drug dealers, drug users, street people, punks, hip
hop culture, KKK, black activists, church groups, youth groups, Fire
Fighters, police officers, lawyers, health care workers, store
keepers, maids, janitors, cable installers, phone repair persons, mail
carriers, locksmiths, electricians, etc. There really is no minimum or
maximum age range. An article came out recently in the Uk, saying they
were recruiting children as young as eight years old to be Covert
Human Intelligence Sources.

Some of these citizens might be recruited via programs such as,
Citizen Corp, Weed and Seed, Citizens On Phone Patrol, (COPP), City
Watch, T.I.P.S. Many started with good intentions to help patrol and
monitor their cities and neighbourhoods. Others are recruited via
their families, others at school, others at work. Since every sector,
class, race in society takes part, recruitment is multi-faceted.

Many do not understand or care that the end consequence of this
harassment protocol is to destroy a person.


Why people participate in Gang Stalking?


There are many reasons that someone takes part in this activity.

1. Some do it for the sense of power that it gives them.

2. Others do this as a way to make friends and keep friends. It’s
something social and fun for them to do. Many in society use the one
handed sign language to communicate and it's very effective in
breaking down race, gender, age, social barriers.

3. Others are forced or black mailed by the State or the police into
taking part.

4. They are told that they are part of homeland or national security
and being used to help keep and eye on dangerous or emotionally
disturbed individuals. They see themselves as heroic spies for the
state.

Civilian spies can come from a variety of different programs such as
the Citizen Corp, Citizen On Phone Patrol COPP, Weed and Seed,
T.I.P.S., City Watch or some other centralized government program used
for patrolling and monitoring cities.

5. Others are just local thugs or Informants who are already being
used for other activities, and their energies are just diverted over
into these community spy programs. Eg. Some may be given the choice of
Spying for the State or the police vs going to jail.

6. Others are told outright lies and slander about the target to get
them to go along with ruining the targets life.

7. Many are however just average citizens who have been recruited by
the state the same way citizens were recruited in the former East
Germany and other countries. It's the way the society is.


What are some techniques used against targets?


A few of the most common techniques are listed below.

a) Classical conditioning.

Getting a Targeted Individual sensitized to an everyday stimuli. The
targeted individual over a period of months, or even years is
negatively sensitised to an everyday stimuli, which is then used to
harass them. It’s used out in public to let them know they are
constantly being harassed and monitored. Some examples of everyday
stimulus that might be used include: sounds, colors, patterns,
actions. Eg. Red, white, yellow, strips, pens clicking, key jangling,
loud coughing, loud whistling, loud smacking of clapping of hands
together, cell phones, laptops, etc.

b) 24/7 Surveillance This will involve following the target everywhere
they go. Learning about the target. Where they shop, work, play, who
their friends and family are. Getting close to the target, moving into
the community or apartment where they live, across the street.
Monitoring the targets phone, house, and computer activity.
Surveillance Policy.

c) Isolation of said target.

This is done via slander campaigns, and lies. Eg. People in the
targets community are told that the target is a thief, into drugs, a
prostitute, pedophile, crazy, in trouble for something, needs to be
watched. Files will even be produced on the target, shown to
neighbours, family, store keepers.

d) Noise and mimicking campaigns.

Disrupting the targets life, sleep with loud power tools,
construction, stereos, doors slamming, etc. Talking in public about
private things in the targets life. Mimicking actions of the target.
Basically letting the target know that they are in the targets life.
Daily interferences, nothing that would be too overt to the untrained
eye, but psychologically degrading and damaging to the target over
time.

e) Everyday life breaks and street theatre.

Flat tires, sleep deprivation, drugging food, putting dirt on targets
property. Mass strangers doing things in public to annoy targets.
These strangers might get text messaged to be at a specific time and
place, and perform a specific action.

It might seem harmless to these Citizen Informants, but it could be
causing great psychological trauma for the target. Eg. Blocking
targets path, getting ahead of them in line, cutting or boxing them in
on the road, saying or doing things to elicit a response from targets.
Etc. It's like the death of a thousand paper cuts. One or two minor
incidents will not cause any harm to the target, but over time the
target is slowly worn down.


Where does the support or funding for this come from?


Though Gang Stalking itself is immoral and unethical in nature,
programs such as this in democratic countries, and none democratic
countries have always been funded by the Government. They are the only
ones with enough money, coordination, and power to keep such a system
in place. These Co-ordinated efforts then join hands with others for
this systemic form of control and harassment.


"Ruling the community with an iron fist. “Savvy law enforcement types
realized that under the community policing rubric, cops, community
groups, local companies, private foundations, citizen informants and
federal agencies could form alliances without causing public outcry.”
Covert Action Quarterly, summer 1997.”
Ruling the community


What can you do to help?


1. If you know someone who is being targeted in this way please don’t
go along with it. Don’t assume that the person is guilty or a bad
person. Many innocent people are currently being targeted, and people
are being told lies. This form of harassment is systemic and it's
about state control and conformity. The express goal of this
harassment is to destroy the individual over time.

2. If you are aware of someone being harassed in this way, subtly
direct them to websites that deal with Gang Stalking, or sites for
Targeted Individuals. Knowledge is power.

3. You can subtly offer your support to someone who is being unfairly
treated, in very small little ways.

4. You can bring up the subject of Gang Stalking or Targeted
Individuals.

6. You can subtly suggest that your local newspapers or community
papers print articles about Targeted Individuals or even an write an
objective piece about Gang Stalking.


How do participants communicate?


Communicate happens in a number of ways. When on the street or in cars
patrolling, they use baseball or Stasi like signals. Citizen
Informants also seem to get verbal ques via cellphone and earphones.

These include things like tapping the side of the nose, corner of the
eye, brushing back the hair 3 times, the infamous double blink, etc.

Here is a list of signals that the former East German Secret Police
the Stasi used. http://www.nthposition.com/stasiland.php

SIGNALS FOR OBSERVATION

1. Watch out! Subject is coming - touch nose with hand or
handkerchief

2. Subject is moving on, going further, or overtaking - stroke hair
with hand, or raise hat briefly

3. Subject standing still - lay one hand against back, or on stomach

4. Observing Agent wishes to terminate observation because cover
threatened - bend and retie shoelaces

5. Subject returning - both hands against back, or on stomach

6. Observing Agent wishes to speak with Team Leader or other Observing
Agents - take out briefcase or equivalent and examine contents.

Re: Are you being Gang Stalked by Stasi tactics ?   
Here is some more information about Gang Stalking, from the
http://www.GangStalkingWorld.com/Structure.html website.



Structure of Oppression


The following article will try to put into perspective some of the
societal structures that are most likely responsible for the targeting
some of those in the Targeted Individual community are experiencing.

For years Targeted Individuals have been saying that they are being
followed around, stalked, monitored while at home, and out in public.
They have complained of a system that is capable of 24/7 surveillance,
able to harassment at home, work, in the community, and even while
traveling abroad.

For several years there has been a great deal of disbelief that such
occurrences could even be possible. The following article, will try to
explain referencing sources already available and documented how this
could be happening.

The following article represents the views and opinions of the
GangStalkingWorld.com website and does not necessarily reflect the
views of any other person, or website in the community.

It has long been a widely expressed view that the monitoring is being
done by various groups of citizen informants, members of various
community policing type programs. Based on recent research conducted
it seems most likely that the people being used to follow Targeted
Individuals around are what society and the government in some
countries refer to as, "covert human intelligence sources". They can
also be known as Citizen Informants. Another slang terms that is often
used to describe these individuals is the term Snitch or Snitches.


Covert human intelligence sources


A recent article came out in the London Telegraph, saying that
Children as young as 8 are being employed by the state as “Covert
human intelligence sources” aka Snitches. Targeted Individuals often
complain that the harassment is being perpetrated by all members of
the community including children.

Children are being hired and used by the government to spy on their
neighbors in the Uk. and "being encouraged to photograph or video
neighbors guilty of dog fouling, littering or "bin crimes" The article
says there are "hundreds of Junior Streetwatchers, aged 8-10 years
old, who are trained to identify and report enviro-crime issues such
as graffiti and fly-tipping." The adult spies according to authorities
are recruited via newspaper ads.


"Other local authorities recruit adult volunteers through
advertisements in local newspapers, with at least 4,841 people already
patrolling the streets in their spare time.

Some are assigned James Bond-style code numbers, which they use
instead of their real names when they ring a special informer's
hotline.

This escalation in Britain's growing surveillance state follows an
outcry about the way councils are using powers originally designed to
combat terrorism and organised crime to spy on residents. In one case,
a family was followed by council staff for almost three weeks after
being wrongly accused of breaking rules on school catchment areas." 1



Community Oriented Policing


Though the article primarily focuses on the United Kingdom, it should
be noted that other countries are setting up such community
structures, via community oriented policing programs. These programs
are a


"a systemic approach to policing with the paradigm of instilling and
fostering a sense of community, within a geographical neighborhood, to
improve the quality of life. It achieves this through the
decentralization of the police and the implementation of a synthesis
of three key components:


(1) strategic-oriented policing—the redistribution of traditional
police resources;
(2) neighborhood-oriented policing—the .interaction of police and all
community members to reduce crime and the fear of crime through
indigenous proactive programs; and
(3) problem-oriented policing-a concerted effort to resolve the causes
of crime rather than the symptoms. " 2



Fusion Centers


The ACLU has released a report on Fusion Centers. 800,000 operatives
will be dispersed throughtout every American city and town. Set to
report on even the most common everyday behaviors which will go into
state, local and regional, linked data bases. These linked databases
are not just emerging in the United States, they have already emerged
in many countries around the world in the wake of implied terrorist
threats.


"We pointed out that, while diverse and often still in the early
stages of formation, they often seem to be characterized by ambiguous
lines of authority, excessive secrecy, troubling private-sector and
military participation, and an apparent bent toward suspicionless
information collection and datamining." 3


The article then goes on to point out that in a short space of many of
the warning in the report had come to pass. The article talks about
the fact that this apparatus is responsible for watching and recording
the everyday activity of a growing number of individuals. The reports
are then gathered together and then they are accessible to any law
enforcement agency that is a part of these fusion centers.


"In the six months since our report, new press accounts have borne out
many of our warnings. In just that short time, news accounts have
reported overzealous intelligence gathering, the expansion of
uncontrolled access to data on innocent people, hostility to open
government laws, abusive entanglements between security agencies and
the private sector, and lax protections for personally identifiable
information.

Overall, it is becoming increasingly clear that fusion centers are
part of a new domestic intelligence apparatus. The elements of this
nascent domestic surveillance system include:


Watching and recording the everyday activities of an ever-growing list
of individuals
Channeling the flow of the resulting reports into a centralized
security agency
Sifting through (“data mining”) these reports and databases with
computers to identify individuals for closer scrutiny Such a system,
if allowed to permeate our society, would be nothing less than the
creation of a total surveillance society." 3


These fusion center will have the capacity to circumvent laws that are
in place to limit federal vs local authorities and the access that
each has to specific information.


"Even more troubling is the fact that these centers are networked
together and seamlessly exchange information with the intelligence
community through the Director of National Intelligence’s Information
Sharing Environment (ISE).

The Washington Post report was based on a document produced from a
survey of fusion centers, which shows their intent to maximize the
access each of the fusion centers has to the various databases. This
would allow a state fusion center that under state law or local policy
is prohibited from buying credit reports, as an example, to circumvent
its own restrictions by simply calling a fusion center in Pennsylvania
to and asking Pennsylvania authorities to access the records it wants
to analyze.

This “policy shopping” process guts state and local privacy
protections and gives the participating agencies, including the
federal intelligence community, access to information they may not
legally have on their own." 3


These centers if allowed to expand will create a one way justice
system. Your information, even your daily activities will be allowed
to be gathered, collected, and possibly used against you. When you
then request information to confirm if you are a target of
surveillance, the information will be stored in a secret database and
not available for you to access.


"Even as fusion centers are positioned to learn more and more about
the American public, authorities are moving to ensure that the public
knows less and less about fusion centers. In particular, there appears
to be an effort by the federal government to coerce states into
exempting their fusion centers from state open government laws.31 For
those living in Virginia, it’s already too late; the Virginia General
Assembly passed a law in April 2008 exempting the state’s fusion
center from the Freedom of Information Act.32

According to comments by the commander of the Virginia State Police
Criminal Intelligence Division and the administrative head of the
center, the federal government pressured Virginia into passing the
law, with the threat of withholding classified information if it
didn’t.33 Such efforts suggest there is a real danger fusion centers
will become a “one-way mirror” in which citizens are subject to ever-
greater scrutiny by the authorities, even while the authorities are
increasingly protected from scrutiny by the public." 3



Public Employees


The next aspect of the targeted that has been reported by the Targeted
Individual community is the fact that public servants seem to be
taking a part in the continuous monitoring and harassment private
citizens. American Civil servants, firefighters, police officers,
Corporate Employees, learning to collect data and spy. The information
then goes into secret data bases. They will also communicate in code.
Many targets have expressed a belief not only that they are being
tracked, but that their stalkers are communicating via a one handed
sign language similar to that which the Stasi used.

Terrorism Liason Officers


"They are entrusted with hunting for “suspicious activity,” and then
they report their findings, which end up in secret government
databases.

What constitutes “suspicious activity,” of course, is in the eye of
the beholder. But a draft Justice Department memo on the subject says
that such things as “taking photos of no apparent aesthetic value” or
“making notes” could constitute suspicious activity, Finley wrote. " 4


Not only will this program used the civil servant already mentioned,
but it will expand who is used in the program. They will have secret
sources of communication available to them. The members of these
programs will connect with the fusion centers. None disclosure
agreement or a confidential disclosure agreements will be signed by
many in these programs to ensure that the information is protected.


"And the private sector would be involved, too. “The program would
eventually be expanded to include Health Care personnel and
representatives from private, critical infrastructure entities, with
communication systems specifically tailored to their needs.”

In this regard, Terrorism Liaison Officers resemble InfraGard members.
(See “The FBI Deputizes Business”.) This FBI-private sector liaison
group now consists of more than 26,000 members, who have their own
secure channels of communication and are shielded, as much as
possible, from scrutiny.

Terrorism Liaison Officers connect up with so-called “Fusion Centers”:
intelligence sharing among public safety agencies as well as the
private sector. The Department of Justice has come up with “Fusion
Center Guidelines” that discuss the role of private sector
participants.

“The private sector can offer fusion centers a variety of resources,”
it says, including “suspicious incidents and activity information.”

It also recommends shielding the private sector. “To aid in sharing
this sensitive information, a Non-Disclosure Agreement may be used.
The NDA provides private sector entities an additional layer of
security, ensuring the security of private sector proprietary
information and trade secrets,” the document states." 4


Other than the United States many other countries have similar
programs in place where they have requested that public servants in
the course of doing their day to day activities keep an eye out on
what is happening.


Stalking and Monitoring.


Though I do not in believe the family in this video are targets of
Gang Stalking I will say that the example shown explains very well how
someone could be stalked, monitored and spied on 24/7 as this family
was. I do not believe they are targets of Gang Stalking, because Gang
Stalking is often covert, what this family experienced was extremely
overt and left behind lot's of verification and proof, the harassment
targeted individuals experience does not often offer any overt
evidence.

The stalking they believe was done primarily using their cell-phone.
They were followed 24/7. Their phone conversations listened to. When
the mother was in the kitchen making lemonade, the phone rang, and the
caller told her, he preferred limes.

When the family heard someone at their door in the middle of the night
banging, they called the police, when the police arrived the invaders
had already left. After the police left this happened again, the
family called the police, the invaders had left, this happened a third
time and finally the family stopped trying.

After filing a complaint with the police, the family were sent a
recording of their conversation with the police, by the stalker. They
installed a camera system, the stalker called to say that he already
knew the code.

The list goes on, and apparently there were a total of three families
in the area that the cell phone stalking happened to. The case has
received wide media attention, including the Tyra Banks show.

There is technology out there designed to do this. A company which I
will not name in this report, has a service for cheating spouses,
where you can use a phone to know where they are and listen into their
conversations. There are also programs which will allow the camera on
a phone to be used to spy on the person with the camera phone.

Cellphone Stalking


"The families say the calls come in at all hours of the night,
threatening to kill their children, their pets and grandparents. Voice
mails arrive, playing recordings of their private conversations,
including one with a local police detective. "

"The caller knows, the families said, what they're wearing and what
they're doing. And after months of investigating, police seem
powerless to stop them. "

"It got worse. The Kuykendalls and two other Fircrest families told
ABC News that they believe the callers are using their cell phones to
spy on them. They say the hackers know their every move: where they
are, what they're doing and what they're wearing. The callers have
recorded private conversations, the families and police said,
including a meeting with a local detective. " 5


Not all members of the Targeted Individual community have a
cameraphone, but this example is just to show how one family could be
terrorized by an encounter such as this. What we experience is
ongoing, and often just as upsetting, but we often do not have the
same proof that this family had, which enabled them to go to the
police.


"Recently, the stalkers have begun to come to their home in the early
hours of the morning, banging on their doors. The mother said that the
first time they came, she immediately called 911, but as soon as the
police arrived, the stalkers had fled. The police, unable to do
anything, left, and the stalkers returned right away. She said every
time this happens she contacts the police, but after about the third
call and then the third return, she just stops trying." 6



Regulation of Investigatory Powers


Regulation of Investigatory Powers is a United Kingdom law, which
enables public bodies to carry out investigations and surveillance on
individuals. Authorities can use directed surveillance or intrusive
surveillance for months or years. These types of operations often
employ “covert human intelligence sources’. Recently these laws were
abused by using them to spy on families for anti-social behaviours and
noise complaints.


"Directed surveillance’ is covert surveillance of individuals during a
specific but non-intrusive investigation’ (our emphasis). Surveillance
is covert where it is carried out in such a way to ensure that those
targeted are unaware that it is taking place (cl.25(8)).
‘Surveillance’ is defined as including any monitoring, observing and
listening to persons, their movements, conversations or other
activities or communications. It also includes any recording of such
activity and surveillance by or with assistance of a device."

" Intrusive surveillance’ is defined as covert surveillance in
relation to anything taking place on residential premises or a private
vehicle. It may be carried out either by a person or device inside
residential premises or a private vehicle or by a device placed
outside" 7



Secret Databases


A new story also came out this year claiming that information is being
kept on Canadians, in secret databases that they have no access to.


"Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, has released a
48-page report warning that the RCMP (Canada’s national police force)
is keeping thousands of files on regular citizens in secret databases
which cannot be seen by the accused.

One of the many disturbing facets of Stoddart's report are the
examples she cites of information for these secret files coming from
citizen informants. In one case a man was put into the secret database
because a resident of his daughter's school neighborhood saw him
entering a rooming house and—believing drugs were involved—called the
police. The police investigation concluded that the man had only
stepped out of his car to have a cigarette, but the file was still in
the national security databank seven years later.

Another incident cited in the Stoddart report involved a neighbour who
saw two men carrying "something that resembled a large drum, wrapped
in canvas" into their house. Police were called to investigate but
found nothing resembling the reported item, yet the data was still
sitting in a top secret databank five years later. As Stoddart points
out in the CBC story on the report, this is potentially disastrous for
the individuals named in the files, because it "could potentially
affect someone trying to obtain an employment security clearance, or
impede an individual's ability to cross the border." 8
