and it's effects on society
Introduction

Gang stalking, also known variously as community stalking, mass stalking, proxy stalking,
cause stalking, coordinated stalking, organized stalking and community harassment, is the
act of large surveillance teams continuously tracking, stalking and surveilling targets on a
watch list. The person being stalked is most likely to refer to themselves as a 'Targeted
Individual'.

It's often thought that to be on a watch list you must be a potentially politically influential
person, have a significant criminal record or be a danger to society, but that is no longer
true. Due to technological advancements, surveillance has become more efficient and
cheaper. Now anyone, even someone without any criminal history whatsoever, can be
placed on a list.

The tracking is done primarily via picking up the target's mobile phone location using cell
site simulators (referred to most commonly colloquially as 'stingray'). The stalking is done
primarily by each member of the surveillance team taking it in turns to stalk the target
whilst doing 'role play' or 'street theatre'- i.e. trying to blend into the environment. The
surveillance is then done via covert cameras which take imagery of the target as they go
about their daily business which is then transmitted via 5G back to a control center.

Considering the bizarre nature of gang stalking and the amount of people involved, it is
often not believed when people first hear about it. People will often believe instead that the
target must be suffering from paranoia or delusion, when they describe what is happening
to them.

The purpose is to gather information about the target and potentially to gather evidence of
wrongdoing (i.e. to build a case against them), though the specific reason why someone is
placed on a watch list is never explained or justified.

Even though attempts are made to make it covert, the target will likely realize quite quickly
that they are being followed based on the cumulative effect, and statistical impossibility, of
lots of smaller and bizarre things happening all along their journey. This realization will be
followed by a 'confusion phase' as the target tries to understand the who, what, why, how
and when of the stalking. They will eventually learn to adapt (i.e. form coping mechanisms)
to the stalking (such as not going outdoors, leaving their phone at home, developing a safe
space etc.) They may also attempt to stop the stalking by contacting the police (likely to
result in a referral to mental health services), moving house (which doesn't work) or
leaving the country (which is oftentimes the only thing which is successful). The target may
also participate in social media, either as a content creator or consumer, which can act as
a support network. They will also likely describe intense and chronic stress and being at
'permanent breaking point', as there are so many problems and unanswered questions
introduced into the target's life by the stalking.

In the most extreme cases, gang stalking has been associated with extreme forms of

Page 2 of 40
retaliatory violence such as mass shootings, murders and attempted murders.

Even though governments admit to having surveillance teams, watch lists and 'people of
interest' that are under continuous 24/7 surveillance, they do not admit to gang stalking.

In addition to the continuous surveillance, a significant proportion of targets report other

investigatory techniques used against them, and/or use of experimental military
technology.

It is a violation of the human right to liberty, freedom from torture (which includes
psychological torture) and privacy, as well as other laws, though these laws remain
untested. Part of the problem with mounting a legal challenge is the difficulty in proving
who is stalking them (including the lack of access to number plate databases).

The term gang stalking is also increasingly being used on social media to refer to things
such as workplace mobbing, family issues or people just being nosy about other people's
lives.

Background
The government has for a long time followed and investigated suspects such as drug
dealers, terrorists, and known criminals, although the stalking was resource-intensive and
relatively expensive.

Gang stalking is also believed by many to be a purposeful form of directed aggression

towards people whom the government considers unsavory. It is therefore oftentimes
considered a modern-day version of historical surveillance, discrediting and psychological
torture/warfare programs. The most notable of these are COINTELPRO, MKUltra and
Zersetzung.

New technologies such as the ability to track people using fake cell towers has enabled
the automation of detecting when someone is 'on the move'. Combined with mapping
systems and satnav technology, it has enabled much more efficient stalking of individuals.
Now a lot of people who would not previously have been followed, including people with no
criminal history whatsoever - are being placed on watch lists for years and even decades.

This is a global phenomenon and it appears to be happening in countries all over the
world.

Tracking
Primary tracking via the mobile phone

Targets are tracked primarily by tracking their mobile phone location using fake cell towers,
most commonly referred to colloquially as 'stingray'. This tracking beacon will be passed
onto the surveillance teams who will have the location plotted on a mapping system on a
custom-made surveillance team app.

Fig 1. A target's location is being tracked primarily using fake cell towers Depicted
here are just 3 members of a surveillance team, however these surveillance teams are
much larger, consisting of 50+ people.

Using this tracking beacon, the surveillance team can efficiently stalk the individual by
automatically detecting when they are on the move, getting satnav directions directly to the
target and determining when they are near one of their starred locations (so they can be at
a location before the target gets there).

Page 6 of 40
Secondary tracking using motion detection technology and manual updates

If the target realizes they are being tracked by the government on their mobile phone and
leaves it at home, soon after a motion detector will be installed in the street lamp outside
their house. This will detect when the target is on the move automatically and will then
notify the surveillance team. The surveillance team will then 'rush in' with 3 or 4 people and
start stalking them.

Fig 2. Backup tracking via a motion detector in the street lamp

Any one member of the surveillance team that spots the target will then manually update
the target's position on a mapping system so that the rest of the surveillance team know
exactly where they are.

Street lamp's are ubiquitous and afford a power source, lighting source, protection from the
elements and the installation can be covert (as it's made to look like regular maintenance
of the light bulb). The motion detection technology is also cheap.

Other forms of tracking

Other forms of tracking exist such GPS trackers and automatic number plate/licence plate
recognition (ANPR/ALPR), and other forms motion detectors (such as in the front and back
of unmanned parked cars).

Page 7 of 40
Fundamental significance of automated tracking

This automation of tracking people has been fundamental to the evolution of individual
investigators into surveillance teams as they do not have to wait around manually
detecting when someone is on the move.

Previously Now

Manual tracking by individual investigators All the members of the surveillance team are
tracking the same individual(s)

Fig 3. The evolution of individual investigators into surveillance teams

Previously, individual investigator's would wait around and manually detect when an
individual was 'on the move'. That individual would be followed by a single car. Now, due to
automation of detection when someone is on the move, the individual investigator's are
free to roam about permanently, when one target on the watch list goes 'on the move', they
will line that route of that individual.

Page 8 of 40
Other technological factors contributing to gang stalking

Many other technologies have contributed to the evolution of gang stalking, such as apps,
mapping systems, camera technology and increased bandwidth with 5G, which, allows
potentially, for the livestreaming of people in HD.

Fig 4. Technologies that have contributed to the evolution of gang stalking

This technology means it's cheaper and more efficient than ever to track, stalk and surveil
people. Whereas before it was drug dealer's, terrorists and hardened criminals being
followed. Now, as it's become so much cheaper and more efficient, people with no criminal
history whatsoever are being placed on watch lists in a blasé fashion.

Serial vs parallel stalking

The term gang in gang stalking evokes an image of a street gang all following someone in
parallel, when in fact the gang is a large surveillance team who follow the target mostly in
serial, i.e.. taking it in turns to stalk them along their route, with a frequency of perhaps on
average 1 new stalker per street.

Surveillance teams will consist of at least 50 people in, for example, a city. The members
of the team will take it in turns to stalk a target that is 'on the move' street by street or
location by location. This stalking will be done mainly in serial (i.e. they will line the target's
route in a pass the baton fashion), though it can oftentimes be in parallel (i.e. multiple
members of the surveillance team are surrounding the target at any one time). Potentially
there can be dozens of members of the surveillance team surrounding one target at any
one time.

The guise of the surveillance teams

In order to attempt to make the stalking 'covert' the members of the surveillance team will
be branded as regular members of the community - such as taxi drivers, delivery drivers,
milk floats (in the early morning), motorbikes with L plates, joggers, cyclists, dog walkers
etc. and will try to blend into the rest of the community. The vehicles used are real
company vehicles, such as taxis, that the company running the surveillance team will be
paying the local company to use.

Any type of vehicle or person that would be 'out and about' traveling all over the place is a
candidate for the disguising of the surveillance team members.

This disguising allows the members of the surveillance teams to 'hide in plain sight'. Any
type of person or vehicle which would have a reason to be out and about driving all over
the place will be a candidate

The members of the surveillance teams are mostly adults, but may also include young
people - i.e. 'child spies'.

The fact that they are made to look like regular members of the community is why it is
sometimes referred to as community stalking or community harassment.
They never have a real purpose for being near the target, only a fake one.

Page 10 of 40
Fig 5. This is what a surveillance team looks like.

Page 11 of 40
'Surveillance role play' / 'street theatre'

When trying to blend in, they will often 'act' in order to appear convincing. A fake taxi, for
example, will pretend to have passengers in the back of the taxi (when they are actually
also members of the surveillance team). A fake taxi will also drop passenger's off and pick
them up in order to try to create the illusion of being real. Another person might be
standing in the middle of the road with a phone to their ear, pretending to be on the phone.
Another person may be near the target with the car bonnet flipped, pretending to fix their
vehicle.

The target notices the unlikely nature of this often very bad acting and how their world has
suddenly changed from how it used to be - in terms of traffic flow and unlikely and strange
things happening all along their journey - and most commonly refers to this continuous
acting all along their route as 'street theatre'.

Rotation of the surveillance teams around the country

It's likely that someone being stalked will attempt to track the number plates of the cars
stalking them. In order to prevent this, the surveillance teams are rotated around the
country, so that on each day there is a new surveillance team operating in a particular
area. If the target attempts to track the number plates, therefore, it will be practically
impossible. The effect of this rotation is that, over time, the individual will have literally
thousands of stalkers going through the middle of their life.

Color coordination and hand signals

Members of the surveillance team will sometimes color coordinate themselves - such as
having mostly red or white vehicles, or all wearing items of red clothing.

They will also use very subtle hand signal gestures to communicate with other members of
the team, for example, indicating the target's position (hand signals are a common form of
communication in many industries in everything from police and military to sport referees
to crane operators). As they are subtle, these hand signals may only be visible when
recording the members of the surveillance team with a camera with optical zoom.

CCTV camera's used as an adjunct

There are not enough CCTV camera's to follow an individual 24/7, but they are linked in
with the mobile surveillance system and are used as an adjunct. If the target on the watch
list manages somehow to evade surveillance they will be picked up again where CCTV
cameras are located.

Surveilling
The purpose of the gang stalking is to continuously surveil the target as the go about their
daily business. This is achieved via covert camera's in, for example, the front and back
lights of the surveillance vehicles, covert body worn covert camera's and also
smartphones pointed in the direction of the target. These camera's are HD and via 5G can
transmit a live stream of the illuminated target back to a control center.

Fig. 6 A control center to which the imagery is transmitted

The purpose of the stalking is to continuously surveil the target. Here, a target is
illuminated and recorded using covert cameras in the headlights of a vehicle. This gets
transmitted live back to a control center where they have imagery and tracking data of
various targets who are currently on the move.

Page 13 of 40
Illumination of the target / 'brighting'

As camera's are not as good as the human eye at picking up low-light images, the targets
are usually illuminated by various forms of light sources - vehicle headlights, flashlights,
body-worn head lamps etc. The target will, particularly at night, and even during the day,
notice they are being 'brighted' continuously. Sometimes members of the surveillance
team will use existing lighting in the environment to illuminate the target - such as jogging
past the target as they walk under a street lamp.

Fig 7. Types of brighting

In order to livestream a good image the target is 'brighted'. This is usually with a car
maneuvering in such a way as to shine it's very bright headlights on the target. Other
forms are flashlight, headlamp lights, environmental lighting and, occasionally, smartphone
lights.

These lights are usually extremely bright and significantly brighter than, for example, an
average set of headlights.

Maneuvers

Vehicles stalking individuals

To capture an image of the target, a vehicle needs merely to be pointing towards or away
from the target.

Fig 8. Examples of vehicle maneuvers when stalking an individual

In addition to cars driving continuously slowly past them, the individual will be forced to
walk past headlights from a car which pulls up in front of them, or is waiting in a side
street, will have cars doing U-turns near them and will have cars waiting on the periphery
of the targets vision to see which street they turn down next. The cars may park away from
the target so they are recorded with the rear camera's.

A common experience is no-one being outside, then as soon as a target leaves their
house 3 or 4 people and/or vehicles will appear in close proximity to the target within 30
seconds to 1 minute. The target will also regularly experience trails of 3-4 cars driving past
them and sprawling off to different roads to cover different exit points.

The target will also notice that everywhere they go there are idling car's with idle people in
them.

Page 15 of 40
Individuals stalking individuals

Fig 9. Examples of individuals stalking individuals

Individuals will experience other individuals physically stalking them and loitering near
them with no purpose, only a fake purpose.

One of the strangest forms of stalking is when walking in the very early hours of the
morning these stalkers can sometimes pretend to live in a house near to where the target
is walking, walk into the driveway of this house, fiddle with their keys as they are fumbling
about, then when they think the target is out of sight, leave that driveway about 30
seconds to 1 minute later. They may also deliver a leaflet as 'role play', but only to that one
house.

Page 16 of 40
 Fig 10. Examples of individuals brighting and taking imagery

In order to get a good image of the target, the surveillance team member will often 'bright'
the target. This can be with a torch, headlamp, on a bicycle or scooter with a very bright
light on the front, or it can be by using existing lighting in the environment, such as jogging
past the target under a street lamp.

They may also utilize their smartphone camera by pretending to be on the phone and
recording the target through the cameras or pretending to use their smartphone for
something else, then subtly tilting the camera in the direction of the target to take a picture.

Page 17 of 40
Vehicles stalking vehicles

Fig 11. Examples of vehicles stalking vehicles

Vehicles may be stalked by pulling out in front of the target's vehicle (so that they can be
recorded using the rear cameras).

If the target goes on a journey, a subset of the surveillance team will split off and form a
smaller team to follow them. This may be noticed, and described, by the target as being
continuously surrounded on a motorway by the same group of cars.

Page 18 of 40
The surveillance team app

Surveillance teams have custom-made apps, which are fundamental to the tracking
stalking and surveillance. What follows is a depiction and description of what the
surveillance team apps will look like and how they will function.

Fig 12. A depiction of a custom-made surveillance team app.

The homepage of the app contains profiles for each target, a list of nearby targets, a
messaging system for the surveillance team members to communicate with each other
and live camera feeds (of, for example, the front and back camera on the surveillance
vehicle).

If the user selects 'nearby targets', it brings up a list, ordered by proximity. If the user clicks
one of the target's, they are presented with a map of the target's exact location, commonly
frequented locations (so the surveillance team member can be there before the target
get's there) and various options including getting satnav directions straight to the target.

The app can also detect automatically when the target is on the move, using the tracking
beacon. It can also have a feature whereby, if the target leaves their phone at home, the
target's position can be updated manually. All it takes is for one member of the surveillance
team to spot the target and they can then update the target's position on the map so
everyone in the team knows where they are.

One of the buttons is 'accept job'. If this button is clicked. the surveillance team member
will be expected to travel close to the target and surveil them using the covert camera's

Page 19 of 40
(the footage of which will be transmitted back to a control center using 5g). Once the user
finishes the surveilling, they will end the current job, and find a new target to stalk.

Surveillance team tactics

Surveillance teams will often have trails of 3-4 cars which sprawl off to cover different exit
points that the target may take.

Other tactics include:

· If the target leaves the local area a subset of the surveillance team will 'split off'
from the main team in order to continue to track the target. This may be described
by a target as being, for instance, surrounded on a motorway by vehicles.

· If the target goes to a large area (cemetery, forest etc.) they will form a
boundary line of spotters on main roads around the area that the target is in and
wait for the target to cross that boundary line so they can start being stalked again
when they leave that area.

· If the target takes a regular route and seems to disappear each day at the
same location (this could be if they nip down an alley way each day when a
surveillance car is out of sight) - more and more role players will be placed at that
location each day (up to dozens at the same time) until they figure out which route
the target is taking.

Page 20 of 40
Response in the target

The effect on the target's life is devastating. The duration of being surveilled is often
exceedingly long, being years, decades, or, even, if the parents are under continuous
surveillance, from birth.

Realization
Numerous steps are taken to make the surveillance covert - branding of the members of
the surveillance team, surveillance role play, rotation of the teams etc. Even so, the target
will likely quite quickly realize they are being followed. This is due to the cumulative effect
of lots of smaller things happening to them all along their journey, which will give them a
sense that something is not right.

As an analogy, when someone is communicating, the message they are conveying may be
based on the cumulative effect of lots of things such as the words they use, their body
language, their facial expressions, the amplitude and intonation of their voice etc. It's the
cumulative effect of all of these things that allows someone to understand their message.

In the same way, it's the cumulative effect of lots of smaller things that can contribute to
the target being able to almost instantaneously approximate who are real people and who
are surveillance team members.

Parked cars will switch on their headlights just before the target walks past. Other cars will
be going in and out of streets near the target as though they are lost, and/or making
ostensible driving mistakes (in order that they can surveil the target). Cars will be pulling
up on the curb near the target. Other cars will be doing U-turns near the target.
Everywhere they go , there will be vehicles idling with idle people in them and headlights
on. They will drive slowly past the target. On every street the target goes on - even on
backstreets - there will be someone with some kind of very bright light ready to flash it
toward the target. Other cars will pull up on the periphery of the target's vision with no
purpose, idling with the headlights on. None of these people will be acting normally. There
is higher traffic flow than normal on every street and particularly around the target. There
will be people waiting to see which street the target goes down next. There will also be idle
cars switching on headlights just before the target walks by, waiting on the targets street
with headlights on just before the target leaves their house (if they have detected they are
about to go on the move), turning into and driving slowly past the target when they get
back to their house, vehicles pulling up in the same park that the target is in.

There will also be a lack of genuine emotion/behavior in people. Normal, genuine behavior
might be getting home from work, slamming the door due to being stressed and going into
one's house, a kid cycling down the road singing to themselves without a care in the world,
a car listening to load music driving fast past the target without any care about the target
whatsoever, two acquaintances meeting in the street and their faces 'lighting up' with

Page 21 of 40
genuine emotion. The people doing surveillance do not emote whatsoever, and in their
attempts to appear normal, actually tend to appear like zombies. They also rarely show
any eye contact or genuine facial expressions.

Even though the surveillance team will try to vary the types of surveillance techniques on
the target, the same patterns and techniques will be used again and again - it will still be
obvious to the target as all of a sudden their world has changed. If the target is out and
about every day, within a week they will know they are under some form of surveillance.

Page 22 of 40
The 'confusion phase' and intense and chronic stress
Once the target knows they are under surveillance, they will become very confused about
what is happening to them. The specific reason why they are placed on a watch list is
never explained or justified.

Fig 13. So many unanswered questions and stress imposed upon the target's life

Page 23 of 40
The target may seriously consider that they are in danger of being kidnapped or
assassinated, considering the amount of resources being devoted to stalking them.

They will also wonder if they should go to the police or if this will make it worse due to
most people reporting that they will try to refer the target to mental health services, rather
than admit to gang stalking. They will also wonder if they should attempt to explain it/prove
it to the people around them (or if they will then just be accused of paranoia or delusion).

They may also wonder if they should mount a legal challenge, and if so how they might go
about collecting the evidence necessary?

In addition, the target will wonder why does the probability that someone is doing
something wrong not diminish over time? Also, why, if they have tracking information, do
they need to stalk that individual permanently on every street?

Initially, they will not be believed by people close to them and so the target will lack support
from people close to them. These people are likely, instead, to believe that due to the
unlikely nature of being stalked so intensively by so many people, and the perceived
strange and erratic behavior of the individual, that they may be suffering from paranoia or
delusion, and may also think they are arrogant to think that so much resources would be
dedicated toward stalking them. They may say things to the target such as: 'I hope you get
the help you need'. This lack of support may add to the stress.

Page 24 of 40
Adaptation / coping mechanisms
Once the target has accepted that they are on a watch list and have a basic understanding
of it, they will likely develop coping mechanisms to limit the harm of being stalked.

These will include:

· Staying indoors (so as to limit the stalking). In general, the target is likely to
become socially withdrawn. The target may describe the surveillance team as
having 'stolen the best of me'

· Wearing headphones when outside (so as to try to block out what is happening)

· Developing a safe space where they can spend time without being stalked (such
as in a garden or workplace)

· Leaving one's phone at home (to make it more difficult to be tracked, otherwise
they will always know exactly where the target is), then going to a large area,
particularly at night, such as a cemetery or forest, which is likely to provide some
much needed short-term relief from the stalking.

Page 25 of 40
Attempts to be taken off the watch list
The target will contend with how to end the stalking.

· If they try to wait it out this is unlikely to work as people report being stalked for
years, decades even.

· If they go to the police, they are likely to be referred to mental health services,
rather than the police admitting to the existence of gang stalking.

· If they try to eradicate it by moving to a different location within the same

country, it is highly likely to start up again soon after moving, as these programs
seem to be nationwide

· If they contact other government departments they may face a wall of

bureaucracy and those government departments are unlikely to understand the
stalking.

· If they try to convey to the surveillance team that they know they are being
stalked in an attempt to get them to stop the stalking, it is highly unlikely to work as
the company doing the stalking on behalf of the government will be profiting from
the stalking and will not want to give up that profit.

· If they try to mount a legal challenge, they will likely have trouble collecting the
evidence necessary, particularly as they do not have access to number plate
databases, so cannot prove the identity and nature of employment of the individuals
stalking them.

The only thing that is reported to have a reasonable chance of success is to leave the
country.

Page 26 of 40
Other effects on the target

In addition to the chronic stress induced by all of the questions and the effective
restrictions on their liberty, the target will likely feel:

· Powerlessness Due to a huge power imbalance - the police, military, large

government departments, global companies (doing the stalking on behalf of the
government departments and supplying literally thousands of stalkers), local
companies (being paid to supply real vehicles so that they can 'hide in plain sight'),
mainstream media and local media all working together against the target.

· Self doubt Have I actually done something wrong?

· Lack of trust Are the people close to me real (or are they covert human
information sources employed by the government)?

· Loss of faith and respect in authority As it's not being regulated properly and
the system is highly fallible. The people in government suffer from double standards
as they wouldn't want it happening to them, but it's ok to do it to other people. They
are dishonest about 'lack of resources' in these government departments. They also
let people be diagnosed with false mental health diagnoses when they know it is
real. The entire form of surveillance is unreasonable.

· Annoyance At not being able to carry their smartphone around with them

· Fear Of further punishment should they speak out about it

Page 27 of 40
 · Disappointment At the lack of care for the physical and mental health of the
target (in particular the emotional wellbeing) and also people close to the target who
may be indirectly affected

· Disbelief At the fact that stalking is meant to be a serious crime yet the
government can do it ad infinitum and that's ok

· Feeling of not living in a human society Automation bots, zombie's

(surveillance team members), large companies - none of which have human
emotion or act and can be interfaced with like human beings

· Constantly having to separate truth from fakery Very stressful. One of the
reasons why going into nature feels so relaxing as everything from the sky, stars,
moon, tree's and stream are all real. The part of the brain which separates truth
from fakery - constantly being activated when being gang stalked - can switch off,
and the brain can finally relax

The target may also suffer financial losses and hardship.

In addition, they may also find it difficult to plan for the future (i.e. if I move will the stalking
stop? If I have children will they be 'gang stalked from birth? etc.)

Role of social media

Mainstream media vs social media portrayal of watch lists

The mainstream media when discussing watch lists are likely to portray then as being
covert, and as having dangerous people - such as terrorists and criminals - on them.

A different side of the story is being told by people on social media - where the stalking
and surveilling is not covert but overt, and, where the people being stalked are simply
regular people - clearly not dangerous criminals. A lot of people on these watch lists have
no criminal history whatsoever and are placed on watch lists and stalked for years, even
decades.

Mainstream media Social media

Visibility Covert Overt (due to the cumulative effect)

People stalked Dangerous people and Regular people, no criminal

hardened criminals history, not dangerous

Effect on target No effect Devastating effect

Proportionality Proportionate Severely disproportionate

The terminology is also different. The government, through the mainstream media, will
refer to things such as surveillance teams, surveillance role players (as advertised in job
listings) people of interest and 'directed' or 'targeted' surveillance. Individuals, through
social media, will refer to the surveillance teams variously as gangstalkers (i.e. the
surveillance team is a 'gang' of 'stalkers'), perpetrators, zombies (referring to the lack of
genuine human emotion and purpose in the people doing surveillance role play which
make them appear abnormal), bots (referring to the fact that the surveillance team
members are being coordinated by a back-end server) and community-based agents.

Things commonly pointed out by people being stalked on social media
These are the most common things pointed out on social media by people being gang
stalked:

· 'Brighting' Everywhere the target goes, they are being 'brighted' i.e.. illuminated
(in order for the surveillance team to get a good image of them). It's common for a
car idling with usually very bright headlights on facing the target.

· One head lighted vehicles Surveillance vehicles are often equipped with toggle
switches to switch each headlight on and off. The idea is that the car can be made
to look like a different one at night. However, this backfires as the target notices a
much higher frequency of these 'one head lighters' along their journey.

· Color coordination The surveillance teams will sometimes color coordinate,

such as for example, having all red or white cars, or wearing red items of clothing.

· Hand signals Hand signals are used for communication in many industries - from
police and military to sports referees. Surveillance teams will use very subtle hand
signals to communicate with each other - such as to indicate the position of the
target. These hand signals may only be visible when recording the members of the
surveillance team with a camera with optical zoom.

· The same types of vehicles around them e.g. delivery vehicles or taxi's from
the same company, motorbikes with L plates etc.

· Someone always being near them Despite lots of other places an individual
could be in the area

· Synchronization with the target The target can look outside their house and
see no-one about. As soon as they leave their house, 3 or 4 cars will appear (within
30 seconds to a minute) near the target. The target can be in a park and see no
traffic flow around it - as soon as the target ventures onto the road they will
experience numerous cars 'synchronizing' with them - i.e.. driving at the same time
near time. They will experience cars turning onto the same road the target is on,
even when there may be over a dozen other parallel streets available. This
becomes highly predictable.

· The people around them not being local They will have license plates from
another part of the country and if the target tries to speak to them they will not have
a local accent.

· Trails of vehicles which sprawl off to different exit points To cover potential
exits of the target

· Street theatre Such as people pretending to be fixing a vehicle near them

· Same time entry/exit i.e. members of the surveillance team arriving at a

Page 30 of 40
particular location at the same time as the target, then leaving very shortly after the
target leaves that location

· Subtly taking pictures of the target with their phone

· Continuous traffic around them Even on backstreets

· A lack of purpose in the people around them - they only ever have a fake
purpose for being near the target, not a real one.

Components other than surveillance

Stalking and surveilling is the mainstay of gang stalking, however a significant proportion
of people also report additional effects. These include investigatory tactics, such as:

· Fake relationships (termed 'covert human information sources' in the UK)

· Cameras in the house (termed 'intrusive surveillance' in the UK)

· Interception of communication

Although it may seem highly unlikely, many people also claim to experience things such as
experimentation with military technology, such as:

· Harassment with energy weapons

· Audio spotlight or voice to skull technology

· RFID implants

In addition, some people report experiencing 'directed conversation' - i.e.. members of the
surveillance teams having conversations close to the target about private details of the
target's life which they couldn't possibly know unless they had access to private
information about that person.

Other effects include noise harassment and home break-ins.

Another effect on the target may be health effects from night vision goggles which the
surveillance team members may use. These will contain a powerful infrared torch. If this is
focused on the target for an extended period it may be able to impart serious health effects
such as eye problems and also heating of the skin.

Lack of proper regulation ('watching the watchers')
There is a lack of proper regulation of watch lists (i.e.. no-one 'watching the watchers').

No time limit

The duration of being surveilled is often exceedingly, disproportionately

and unnecessarily long, being years, decades or even, if the parents are
under continuous surveillance, from birth.
No Judicial oversight

To prevent corruption.

No algorithm accountability

For algorithms and/or predictive policing that result in people being placed
on watch lists

No proportionality

Hardened criminal get 18 months surveillance, a terrorist 24 months, yet

someone who has no criminal history whatsoever can get left on the
watch list for years.
No ability to challenge the reasons

No diminishing probability

No formal standards

No adherence to policing principles

Such as challenging the target / opening up a dialogue.

 No removal mechanism

No science into the health effects

The physical and mental health effects of being stalked, particularly

emotional wellbeing.

No science into mass shootings

The link with mass shootings, murders and attempted murders, and the
potential for danger within the society of stalking large amounts of people.
It's quite possible that placing potentially dangerous people on watch lists,
considering this induces intense and chronic stress, could increase the
prevalence of dangerous acts, rather than decrease them.

No intensity limits

i.e. there could be dozens of people all surrounding and stalking an

individual at any one time

No human rights adherence

Liberty, freedom from torture, privacy

Little law adherence

Part of the problem is that most of the people running the watch lists have never been on a
watch list themselves so have no idea of the devastating effects it has on the targeted
individual's life.

Page 34 of 40
The law

Gang stalking constitutes far more than just surveillance and it has devastating effects on
the lives of the people being stalked.

Human rights laws are designed to guarantee a basic standard of living in most countries.
Of particular interest are:

· The human right to liberty - Liberty is: 'the state of being free within society from
oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life and behavior'.

· The human right to be free from torture - This includes psychological torture.
Gang stalking is often described as a form of psychological torture.

· The human right to respect one's private and family life

Considering the high degree of people being gang stalked not leaving their own home
and/or adapting their life significantly due to the distress caused, and also the fact that
gang stalking is universally described as torturous, these human rights are being
contravened.

The people doing the surveillance seem to have no regard for these laws.

One of the main challenges is how the individual being stalked proves what is happening
to them in a court of law. They do not have access to number plate databases so they
cannot prove, for example, that the cars following them and surrounding them are not local
and/or that they are owned by people who work for the same company. They are also up
against so many forces in the government - police, military, other big government
departments - global companies, local companies and the mainstream and local media. It
is difficult for someone to put themselves up against such power, and it would deplete the
individual's resources, such as time, money etc.

It's also very hypocritical when the government take stalking so seriously when an
individual does it with potentially up to 10 years in prison, yet when they do it, continuously
for years, it's considered ok.

Link with mass shootings and murders

Gang stalking has been linked with an ever-increasing number of retaliatory mass
shooting's and attempted murders, some of the most notable examples being Myron May,
Aaron Alexis, Everton Brown and Gavin Long.

Other uses of the term

Other organizations which are reported to gang stalk people include Scientologists,
Freemasons, and private companies which can be paid solely to harass someone, and
harassment from the company that someone works for or used to work for.
The term gang stalking is also increasingly being used on social media to refer to things
such as workplace mobbing, family issues or people just being nosy about other people's
lives.

Movies

· The Truman Show - Being ggang stalkedis often likened to being in The Truman
Show. The difference being that a targeted individual will experience an
interweaving of real and fake people and the stalking and surveilling is ostensibly
for the purpose of government surveillance rather than for entertainment.

Songs

better beware. We follow you around in our bright red cars. We’re all gang stalkers
and we know where you are"

· Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell Featuring a sample from Michael

Jackson. It features the lyrics "I always feel like somebody's watching me and I

Appendix A: How to temporarily evade surveillance
teams

Temporary evasion of surveillance teams by going to the forest at night

In order to gain some temporary relief from the stalking, the target can leave their phone at
home so they have to be tracked manually. They can then, at night, travel towards the
nearest forest/wooded area or cemetery and enter it, for example, in between surveillance
cars passing them.

The surveillance team will not know where they have gone and the whole mechanism of
bite-size stalking breaks down.

Although most people will understandably be scared of the forest at night, this can become
a regular occurrence for the target and the forest can become like a second home. It's the
only time they can be in public without being stalked. They will come to realize there are
very few humans in the forest at night and the animals are either up in the tree's or, if on
the ground, away from the trails.

This is far from a long-term solution but can offer immense and necessary relief from the
constant stalking. It can act as a pressure value and allow the target to clear their head
and relax.

The immense relief experienced is due in part to the brain no longer continuously having to
separate truth from fakery - the moon, the sky, the stars, the tree's and the stream - are all
real. If the forest is big enough they are likely to find lots of interesting hang-out places in
and around the forest that they never knew existed.

The target can also leave the forest at a random time and place. When they do this, they
will be temporarily free from the surveillance and can sample what it is like to walk through
a street again without being stalked. It may be that they can get from 30 minutes up to a
couple of hours before they are spotted and picked up by the surveillance team again.

Carrying a torch

A torch is needed in the forest, particularly if there is little light from the moon. However, by
using a torch normally, it might give away the target's position in the forest.

A torch can be dimmed by shining it through a pocket down downwards onto the trails.
This amount of light is enough to light up the trails but will probably not be enough to give
away the target's position.

The torch can be hung from a trouser or bum bag belt to ensure it doesn't get lost.

Health and safety

It is recommended to take adequate water (such as in a hydration bladder/rucksack), as

Page 38 of 40
many liters of fluid can be lost when hiking trails.

If one is doubling up walking the trails as a weight loss/fitness program, it is advisable to

also take seriously foot care so as not to develop blisters. Adhesive dressings can be
placed on parts of the foot prone to blistering. Rotation of footwear to alter the pressure
and friction on the foot can also help prevent blisters.

Other safety concerns are low-hanging branches which can poke an individual in the eye
or catch them on the eyelid, particularly if trying to be economical with the torch, slipping
when the ground (and tree roots) are wet and being on a trail which is up high.

Response of the surveillance team

Eventually, the surveillance team will figure out that the target it going into the forest. Once
they do, they may send a scooter around the trails of the forest, or a group of walkers with
a torch soon after the target enters the forest. They may also park cars with motion
detectors, at the entrances, or setup other forms of motion detectors at these area's - so
they get notified when an individual, and therefore probably the target, exits that location.

Alternatives to the forest

If the target cannot get to a forest, they could instead find hiding places within a city.
Simply by walking around at night they may find avenue's which lead to various places that
they can spend time in without being stalked. This can include car parks, playing fields,
small wooded area's and stairwells.

Spontaneity, creativity and unpredictability play a role here in avoiding the surveillance
teams.

Stone walls and stairwells are good temporary places to hide and they offer an obstacle to
night vision and thermal camera's which might be being used by the surveillance team.

Adding in a wait of 30 minutes, can make a surveillance team spend this time looking for
the target and eventually giving up, which can help shake the surveillance team off.

Walking through a new housing estate can also make it difficult for a surveillance team as
their mapping system on their app is wrong.

Of course, these measures may make the target look suspicious to other people, but there
doesn't seem to be a lot of choice in terms of getting rid of the surveillance team in the
short-term.

CCTV camera's

It is also necessary to become aware of where the publicly-run CCTV cameras are located
in the area. This may be publicly available information. If they travel past these publicly run
CCTV camera's they will be picked up again by the surveillance team.
