Hello. I am being stalked, harassed and assaulted. It is an unusual type of stalking. It is usually called "gang stalking," but also "group stalking," "cause stalking," "organized stalking," "vigilante stalking," and "terrorist stalking." The best sources of information about this type of stalking are www.multistalkervictims.org, private investigator David Lawson's booklets: "Terrorist Stalking in America" (2001) [apparently no longer available] and "Cause Stalking" (2007), the BEST single source of information on gang stalking (available at http://www.causestalking.net/ & http://www.amazon.com/), and the book "Protectors of Privilege: Red Squads and Police Repression in Urban America" by Frank Donner (http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/4780.html). The book refers to police-conducted gang stalking as an "aggressive style of surveillance." Gang stalking is a total harassment-assault paradigm, a parallel "justice system." It is thought to be a joining of right-wing hate-vigilante groups and law enforcement. The gang stalking paradigm includes:

• 24 hour surveillance every day.


• the "noise regime": very frequent sounds, which follow the target everywhere: sirens, loud engine accelerations, high-pitched beeping sounds, vehicle alarms, screeching-tire sounds, coughing, throat clearing, loud booming sounds (from vehicles) and mechanical squeaking sounds (from vehicles), etc.


• derogatory name calling: Sometimes this is done from passing vehicles.


• invading the target's personal space: standing next to, behind, or in front of the target when he is standing, and sitting or standing next to the target when he sits down. And walking in front of or parallel to the target.


• the "slander campaign" (the foundation of gang stalking): the stalkers go to everyone the target interacts with (friends, coworkers, family members, neighbors, resident managers, supervisors, etc) and spread lies: that the target is a homosexual, a child molester, dangerously mentally ill, a criminal, or under "criminal investigation," which never ends. By this method (and others), the stalkers are able to convince people who do not belong to the stalking group to attack the target and to participate in attacks upon the target. This tactic is devastating to targets because most people cannot imagine that a stranger (let alone someone in a position of authority, or who pretends to be) would lie to them. The stalkers may use fake police badges or create phony but apparently convincing "files" which they show to the unwary people who are around the target (family members, neighbors, coworkers, etc).


• physical assault.


• verbal threats.


• the stalkers commit crimes and blame them on the target.


• a large group of stalkers, each of whom does a portion of the stalking-attacks.


• very heavy law-enforcement and firefighter involvement. Often black and white patrol cars will intercept the target at various points during his trips outside his residence. And black and white units will (for a period of time) be parked outside the target's residence when he leaves or enters.


• "street theater": staged skits designed to frighten and upset the target. Each skit can involve anywhere from one to a dozen (or more) stalkers.


• the attempt to keep the target in a constant state of fear.


• harassing emails and phone calls.


• pets are killed.


• knocking on the door: no one is there or the person is at the wrong apt.


• synchronicity: things happen (an engine starts up, someone coughs, a vehicle horn honks, etc) precisely as the target does something (e.g. moves around or exits his apt, etc).


• the same harassment happens every single day, day after day, year after year.


• deception: the stalkers may pretend to be members of a "community group," "concerned citizens" who are "informing" the community about a "bad person" who is living among them. These are lies: The stalkers are members of a right-wing hate-vigilante group.


• target selection: the same types of people are targeted year after year and across the country: homosexuals (and people mistakenly thought to be), whistleblowers, people who belong to "left-wing" political organizations (those concerned with e.g. the environment, animal rights, peace, etc), political protesters who are causing a "problem" for a corporation, people with mental illness (no matter how high functioning and nonviolent they may be), people seen as "odd "or "unusual," homeless people, people who live "alternative lifestyles," people seen as "not conforming" in some way with what the stalkers see as "normality"; some people are apparently targeted just for "practice"; some targets have no idea why they were targeted. Some people and organizations apparently pay the stalkers to attack certain people. People who are vulnerable and alone are more likely to be targeted.


• persistence: the stalkers follow (and continue to harass and assault) the target if he moves to a different section of the city/county or to a different state. Most targets, if not all, are stalked, harassed, assaulted until their deaths.


• diversity: the stalkers are young, middle-aged, old. They are poor, middle income, wealthy. They are white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. They come from many different backgrounds. They are attractive, ugly, average-looking. There is no way to tell by looking who is a stalker. Stalkers can only be identified by their behavior. The stalkers are united, not by their backgrounds, but by their adherence to a hate-filled, right-wing belief system which severely dehumanizes anyone the stalkers see as "not normal."


• the target's residence is entered and vandalized or items are taken. Sometimes the stalkers do this (in an apt complex) by convincing the resident manager or the maintenance person that the target is a child molester, some other kind of criminal, a spy, etc. Sometimes the stalkers play upon the resident manager's or the maintenance person's "patriotism" to get access to the target's residence. Deception is used at every level in gang stalking.


• mail is stolen or damaged.


• vehicles are entered and sabotaged, vandalized, or items are taken. Vehicles are sabotaged and vandalized without entry. Targets will be harassed while driving.


• advertising: according to an ad placed (apparently by a gangstalker) on a "help wanted" website on 5 June 2006, gangstalkers are part of a secret organization which helps the U.S. government uncover major criminals. It refers to targets as garbage. Prospective members are asked to take pictures of the target, their friends and family members and to investigate & collect intelligence on the targets. It says that no experience or interview are needed for this secret & undercover position and refers to people who work for this organization as agents & informants. It list this organization as active in major U.S. cities, including San Diego. If this ad was placed by a gangstalker (who else would place such an ad?), it demonstrates that gangstalkers lie to people they recruit. At what point do gangstalking groups stop lying to their members?


• gang stalking is designed to be "invisible": generally only the target (and trained observers such as experts in stalking, private detectives, or other targets) can "see" it. Gangstalkers rely on "normal" social stereotypes & social expectations to hide their activity. Gangstalkers break their harassment-assaults-stalking into small units (mail theft, residential vandalism, name calling, spreading lies, etc) so that bystanders will focus on each individual act of harassment/assault and not "connect the dots," which would lead to the conclusion that these attacks are all executed/coordinated by the same group of people. The stalkers no doubt especially enjoy targeting mentally ill or other people considered "compromised"; who is going to believe that an attractive, well-dressed person (perhaps a "pillar of the community") has physically assaulted or otherwise attacked a mentally ill person for no apparent reason?


• gangstalkers are often protected by law enforcement.


• goals: The stalkers wish to drive the target insane & to get him forcibly taken to (and incarcerated in) a psychiatric institution. They wish to make the target became violent, so that he can be violently assaulted, arrested, and taken to jail. They wish to make the target suffer so much that he kills himself. They wish to make the target become poor by making him lose his job and spend his money moving from place to place trying to escape from the stalkers. They wish to completely isolate the target, so he can have no support from anywhere or anyone. Overall they wish to destroy the target emotionally, financially, socially, and physically.


• attitude: The gangstalkers are extremely hostile, ice cold, and intensely self-righteous. Their intense hostility is all out of proportion to anything the target has done or is doing. All the stalkers (no matter how young or old-even children) have the same attitude, as if they have all gone to the same stalking school, the "how to be a profoundly hostile, ice cold, hyperself-righteous, violent attacker-stalker" school. Clearly their hostility is, by itself, intended to frighten the target. The stalkers seem to really believe that the target "deserves" all the attacks, even in cases where the victim-target has never been able to figure out why he has been targeted. This is a strange belief because many people are targeted for seemingly trivial reasons.


• other types of attacks-harassment or facets of GS, which I am not aware of.

Not every target will receive all of the listed types of assaults. However, people who have been targeted for a long time will very likely have experienced all of these types of attacks.

My gang stalking began (I believe) in 1994, though it could have started earlier. I was targeted by these terrorists because they wrongly assumed that I was a "faggot." I was alone; I did not have a girlfriend; I was being seen at a local mental health center (depression); I had recently had an interaction with the local police dept. In the stalkers' knuckle-dragging, hammer-headed opinion, any male who is not a "regular guy" and who does not have a girlfriend is a "faggot." At the "initial encounter" with a stalker, I was in the waiting room at the local mental health center. I was given an "opportunity" to "pay attention" to this apparently middle-aged white male; he stared at me for about 20 minutes; there was no one else in the waiting room; I looked aside the entire time. I am virtually certain (based on subsequent experience) that that person worked in law enforcement. After this, I was given many "opportunities" to "pay attention to/come onto" other males; I never expressed an interest in any of them. Strangely, the stalkers never even asked me if I was a homosexual; I am not. The stalkers apparently believe that they possess mystical powers which allow them to tell, just by looking, who is a "faggot" and who isn't. In the stalkers' bizarre worldview, any male who is not adequately masculine ("a regular guy") and who does not have a girlfriend is automatically a "faggot." If the said "faggot" does not come onto any males, then he is "obviously" a "fag snob" and "needs" to be "taught a lesson" (violently assaulted over & over again) until he changes his mind. The stalkers are seemingly incapable of understanding that they have made (and are making) a mistake. Even if the stalkers did finally figure out that I am not a homosexual, would they stop attacking me? I doubt it; they enjoy attacking me and want to force me into a "personal relationship" with them. The message that I get from the stalkers is: "have a personal relationship with us, or we will ruin (or keep ruining) your life." The stalkers are ice cold, intensely self-righteous, and profoundly hostile.

The stalkers (not all of them of course) have rented apts near my apt complex. They park their vehicles around my apt building and the drivers just sit in the driver's seat all day long, every day, 24 hours a day. They work in shifts. They have given the people who live below me a device which produces a high-pitched beeping sound, which my neighbor sets off at all hours of the day and night. Virtually every time I sit or stand in public, they sit or stand next to me.

I have many times attempted to file a report with my local police dept, but I was refused. I was told that I needed to see a doctor ("have you seen a doctor?"), that the state antistalking law cannot be enforced, that I need to conduct a complete investigation proving that I am being stalked before I can file a report, that gang stalking is not "real stalking" (which is defined as single stalker, easily identifiable, exboyfriend or exgirlfriend), and that I (obviously) can't file a report on a crime that is not "real."

In 2001, the apartment complex where I was living (Swift Manor) was sold and renamed (Swift Ave Apartments). The new owner decided to renovate the apartments. I was told by the Property Manager that I needed to move to a new apartment, the one right next to the new Resident Managers: Kenneth & Marion Birdline. In about June 2002, I was moving the last items from my old apartment into my new apartment. A black female knocked on my door. She said that she was a house guest of the new Resident Manager, that we were going to be neighbors, and that we could be "friends"or "enemies." She waited, apparently for me to a make a decision. I did not say anything. She walked away. It was at this point that the stalking became a 24-hour-a- day, everyday, affair. However, the stalking was very severe even before this encounter.

In (September?) 2004, I visited my (then) local police Area Station. The officer told me "I can't take a report on something like that." He said that I had to call the main police number; I did and was refused again. On 30 Aug 2005, I called the "gang unit" of the police dept; I spoke to "patty" and left my phone number. She said that someone would call me. No one did. I contacted (by letter) the local District Attorney; I got a response (dated 31 Jan 2006) saying that my letter/claims did not warrant a criminal investigation. On 27 Feb 2006, I spoke to a person (Cindy) who works in the District Attorney's "Stalking Strike Force"; I asked her if she had heard of gangstalking and had read "Terrorist Stalking in America" by David Lawson; she answered "yes" to both questions. I asked her if she thought gangstalking was a real crime or some kind of delusion. She said "it's a real crime." She told me to "work with" the police dept. I contacted the ACLU asking for help; it (in a letter dated 23 June 2005) said that it could not help me. In May of 2005, I asked the FBI (FOIPA) if it had a file on me; in a letter dated 6 June 2005, it said that it did not. In mid-February 2006, using the "contact us" icon at the DA's website, I wrote an email to the San Diego County District Attorney's office asking about a letter that I had sent to the District Attorney's office. The next day I began receiving harassing emails to the email address I had used to send my email to the DA's office. In August 2004, I visited another police area station (the first one I visited); the officer wrote what I told him down ("Citizen Request Form") and said that someone from my local Area Station would call me. No one did.

In October 2003, I was moving out of the apt complex (where the gangstalking became 24/7). On 1 (or 2) November 2003 (the last I time I entered the apt), I was gathering my last things together and exiting the apt, around 10:30 pm. I noticed that there were a large number (perhaps 8-10) of uniformed police officers standing around the apt complex. One stood next to the exit that I used to leave the apt. complex. I did not pay any attention to them because I assumed that their presence did not have anything to do with me. I slowly carried the last of my possessions to the bus stop, about 2.5 blocks away. As I waited for the bus, at around 10:45pm, someone in a passing vehicle yelled "faggot" as it (the vehicle) passed by me. There were not many cars on the road (El Cajon Blvd) at this time of night. Every day for at least the next three months, whenever I left my apt (generally once a day), there was a police dept black and white unit parked right next to the apt complex exit, the one that I used to get to El Cajon Blvd, or the black and white unit passed me by a few seconds after I walked onto the sidewalk. After three months, the harassment from black and white patrol cars lessened, but never stopped. Also immediately after I moved, an intense name-calling campaign ("fag," "faggot," "bitch," [the most common] "cocksucker," etc) began. The stalkers called me these names about 5 times a week; during this period, I was leaving my apt at least once every day. When I went to the Central Area police station in August 2004, I told the police officer there about (among other things) the constant name-calling; strangely, very soon after, the name-calling almost completely stopped. I believe that someone in law enforcement ordered the stalkers to stop calling me these names. They would not have stopped on their own. The name-calling campaign lasted for 10 months and began and ended abruptly. This is also the time period (November 2003) in which Fire Dept. vehicles (red square ambulances) began harassing me. Many nights, I would walk (it took 25 minutes) to the San Diego State University Student Computing Center from my new apartment. The SCC closed at 1:00 am. I would frequently walk to the 7-11 next to the college and get something to eat before walking back to my apt. I would sit near 7-11 and eat what I had bought. Many nights, a red square ambulance would be parked next to 7-11 while I was there. However the majority of the harassment by Fire Dept. vehicles did not start until I moved to my current residence, next to a Fire Dept. Station.

Around mid-2004, I was attending an atheist meetup (meetup.com); Conway Redding, a black 69 years old [at the time] retired psychologist who use to work for the local (or some other) police dept, informed the group (of perhaps 6 or 7 people) that people with mental illness "need to be watched" because "they might hurt someone." I believe that this was a "message" from my stalkers as to the "formal" (though no doubt illegal) justification for my being under 24-hour surveillance. At another meeting, he referred to me as a "pariah." At every meeting that he and I attended, he insisted on sitting next to me, and he got upset if I moved to another seat. At every meeting, he would (at some point) cough on me. He exuded hostility to me. I believe that the stalkers sent him to the meetings to harass me. I was apparently expected to "pay attention/come onto" to him. At all the "atheism" meetings, stalkers (beyond Conway Redding) would attend; the stalker would sit near me, and, just before leaving, would cough on me-to punish me for not "coming onto" him. I stopped attending meetup.com meetings around December 2004.

What I have learned:

• law enforcement is corrupt.


• most people can be easily induced to assault someone by using ideological means ("hey stranger, did you know that the person sitting next to you is a child molester or a homosexual?") or financial means ("I will give you $25 if you will kick, spit on, or shove that person over there") or "group" means ("you are going to have to assault person"X" if you want to join [or stay in] our group").


• most people see the world & other people in stereotypes which they "use" when it is advantageous to them.


• for most people, hating someone who is even slightly different feels good, even if the person hated is not hurting anyone.


• many people take it upon themselves to enforce stereotypes, to force people to whom they have given a certain label ("nutcase" & "faggot" are by far the most common) to behave in a "certain way."


• most people will believe & do what they are told without asking any questions or doing any investigation, especially if the person telling them (to do/believe a certain thing) is a law enforcement officer or pretends to be.


• most law enforcement officers are very conservative politically; they believe that it is okay to assault & harass members of the community whom they do not like.


• many people who work in law enforcement have an intense & violent hatred of "faggots."


• law enforcement hires sociopaths, does not adequately monitor its employees, and does not care if they attack "weirdoes" or "oddballs."


• stereotypes & social expectations are VERY powerful; they can easily hide an EVIL which is staring you right in the face. It is extraordinarily difficult, verging on impossibly difficult, for most people to disregard a stereotype and to look deeper into a situation. "Hiding in a stereotype" is effective cover.


• I wonder how many people are aware that law enforcement can (for any reason) refuse to allow someone to file a report. I now know that law-enforcement statistics are an undercount (i. e. unreliable), partly because some people are not allowed to file a report.

The following is an email sent to Eleanor White's Yahoo! group "multistalk" by someone claiming to be a "manager" of street-level stalkers. It seems, from my experience, to be more-or-less credible.

To: eleanor@shoestringradio.net From: eleanor@shoestringradio.net Add to Address Book Add Mobile Alert Yahoo! DomainKeys has confirmed that this message was sent by yahoogroups.com. Learn more Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 13:21:43 -0500 Subject: [multistalk] Perp details with permission Hi - Below is the email I received yesterday from someone claiming to be a perp manager. Definitely it would be unwise to positively assume this is legitimate - because anyone with creative writing talent could be a member of our forums and decide to play a trick on us. It is clear the writer is a member of our forums. But whether legitimate or not, I'd have to say it comes very close to describing a plausible scenario as seen from the perps' (and community members who know them but aren't perps themselves) viewpoint. I have, on request of the writer, removed some specific references that might tend to identify where in the perpetrator organization he/she fits. So for what this may be worth, here it is: To: eleanor@shoestringradio.net Subject: inside info on 'gang stalking' Date sent: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 19:22:13 +1100 Hello Eleanor, I have been a "vigilante" (as you call it) for over five years. I would like to take the time to tell you about the gang stalking situation in Xxxxx, Xxxxxx. I first began involved in gang stalking when I worked with animals at Xxxxx's Zoo. I had a string of jobs involving animals at various places, and the referral process was very selective (the first sign of a gang-stalking controlled operation). Basically, even though I was sure that there were a lot of jobs available for somebody with animal- related expertise, each employer preferred to personally refer me to another employer that they were connected with, rather than just give me a letter and let me find the job myself. The one time I tried to find my own job, every animal-related employer (I mean everybody, every single animal shelter, national park, zoo, etc.) immediately said that they weren't interested in hiring anybody new when they saw my name on the letter. So I went through a daisy chain of employers, zoos, national parks, vets, and similar employers. Anyway, while I was working with animals I noticed a range of strange happenings. I wasn't actually a victim/TI or a "perp" at this point, but I saw it happening around me, or at least noticed the fact that the employers I worked for seemed to have set aside a certain amount of rescources to gang stalking. When I worked in the zoo, I noticed that several zookeepers would habitually let gorillas loose "by accident" whenever certain people passed by, and then crowd around them, make a fuss, apologize, and goad the animals back into their cages. One of the animal shelters I worked for was concerned with unscrupulously training animals. Dogs (especially dobermans and rottweilers) were trained to bark ferociously, with the loudest and scareist dogs rewarded with biscuits. These dogs were then (as I later learnt) chained, with a long chain, of course, outside certain houses in the suburbs, always when "targets" went outside to take walks. Even more bizarre was the training given to some of the zoo animals. Trainers would be sent in and the zoo keepers would be dismissed on certain nights. The animals would then be trained to leer at selected people. A photograph was usually used to train them, and at other times, film footage was used. All of the photographs were expertly taken, often when the target was sleeping. One woman's photograph was taken while she was under general anesthetic at her dentist. Her eyes were held open, so the animals could be familiar with her, and a high resolution photo was taken, in addition to samples of armpit sweat and hair. Xxxxxs (a bird in Xxxxx which often attacks people when defending its nests) were also trained, and placed in trees for animal "street theatre". Because xxxxxxs are hardly lethal, but can cause minor injury, they prove annoying enough to use. When working at the vet, I sometimes noticed that tracking devices were inserted in some pets, which could then be tracked and mutilated. The absence of a "pet coroner" means that a dog can be dragged from its home at the dead of night, tied down with a brick, run over by a car, and have the bricks and restraints removed without any investigation that would reveal foul play. All sorts of unscrupulous activities happened here. Poisons were tested on some animals, some of them slow-acting, and a healthy dog would be taken to a check-up, a "diagnosis" fabricated to explain its decline in health after its visit, while poisons were administered to it. During some operations, heart worms were inserted in the pets of TIs. I was eventually offered a place in the syndicate. The syndicate was presented to me as a kind of fraternity, a masonic-like mutual profit organization with strong police- like overtones. I was told that I was helping to build a better society. However, I have never been given any of the advancement opportunities I was promised. The "advancement system" of the syndicate is a slippery slope. They make you give up your security priveliges, so eventually all of your communications are watched (which is why I composed this email offline where they can't see me, and sent it via an internet cafe) and you have to attend meeting after meeting of mind-numbing pledges and chants. The premise is that if you sign contracts giving up personal liberties for the group, and you are genuinely innocent, then you will be promoted. I have only been promoted once, to the rank of manager, and I don't feel as if it is a rewarding experience. Worse, you are never allowed to leave because they think you will give away secrets. Leaving is only permissible with a special contract that permits the syndicate to destroy your credibility (usually they make sure that the most attention any secrets that you reveal get is from crackpot UFO magazines, or diagnose you with schizophrenia). There are other problems. If you have children, you have to send them to education in syndicate owned schools. If you have a wife, you have to report on her, allow her to be spied upon, and be prepared to target her if they decide to turn her into a TI. The official "compensation" policy is that you will get to keep the children if she lodges a divorce. However, you won't get to keep most of her material goods. They only want her to lose in the divorce proceedings so she gets nothing, not so the husband gets anything, so the syndicate takes it back as a tithe. I suppose I should introduce the syndicate in a little more detail. I'm still not sure precisely what it is trying to do. To everyday citizens, it presents itself as a group trying to monitor terrorists (or any other kind of flavour- of-the-month undesirables like gays/communists/witches) and drive them out. To other people, its a rotary club/chamber of commerce type operation. To others still, the most twisted conspiratorial minds, it is an organization that pulls the strings behind everything. To the puritan, it is a cleansing force. To the deviant, it is a gang of other deviants where everything is permissible. It's the syndicate to everyone, though. I don't know the extent of what it owns. I do, however, know a great deal about the targeting process. When we get targets, we divide them into four categories: mercenary, practice, planning, and enemy. Mercenary targets are bought by outside parties. We advertise under a range of guises, from ads by "individuals" claiming to be able to kidnap people, to practical jokers. Some groups, like big corporations and some governments (the government of Xxxxxx pays us to keep some people busy, so do the Xxxxxxs when they have too many people protesting whaling) know fully well what sort of services we do, so we don't really hide them. We get a lot of money from them, but we can still muster up a fair bit if worst comes to worst. I'm not sure so much about the NWO theory. Maybe the Xxxxxxx count, but you'd be surprised at how much money we can get from crime. I don't mean that we go out robbing people, but we can outsource money from biker gangs/skinheads/drug dealers pretty easily. Our syndicate gets a lot of support from people in rough areas like Xxxxxx and Xxxx's Xxxx. Because there are areas with a lot of people in genuine need, who would leap at the thought of fighting back at the criminals, we can always find allies to pressure the criminal portions of society. Of course, they are only pressuring them into giving us money, but it's a pretty cozy arrangement. The second type of target is the practice target. We use them to train mobs. The targets don't actually change, because we don't want TOO many people fighting back at us. But we do rotate trainees between practice targets. This stops the person seeing the same people every time there's a street show. Then there are planning targets. These are selected by the syndicate for some reason or rather but aren't paid for by mercenaries. You can usually tell the difference between planning and practice targets because they send people with experience after them. They're still chosen by the same people though. The practice ones are of course chosen for their timidity. I don't know how the planning ones are chosen. Enemy targets are people that decide they've had enough and turn against us. Since they protest and try to foil our plans (which, considering that our jobs are already nervy, is a real pain in the arse), we try to really give them hell. The best way, of course, is through the psychs. My supervisor used to say that the Soviets had it right with Sluggishly Progressing Schizophrenia. Some people up-top are proposing that we just kill them and have them declared Natural Causes or Accidental by the coroner. It isn't likely to happen, though. Anyway, I should introduce the main branches of the syndicate. Each branch recruits its own (everybody is a member of one of the branches) instead of people just joining a common pool. This keeps the work separate and stops people from finding stuff out that they shouldn't. My branch is the Scripting, Observation, and Execution Bureau (or "The Theatre" as it is popularly known). By execution, I mean the execution of orders, not the other kind. We do the work that the majority of people with any knowledge of gang stalking will be familiar with: pestering and scripting minor incidents. The Theatre is actually divided into two sub-branches: Scripting Orchestration Officers (or "playwrights" as they call themselves) and Field Officers (or "thespians" as we call ourselves). We have the most variety in our recruits. Popular sources are the police, the fire department, the zoo, and technicians of any kind. But we recruit from all places. Most members are neighborhood watch types (not official Neighborhood Watch, but "concerned people"). Ironically, we make sure that we do a lot of good, just to get some credibility. Then there is the Bureau of Authority ("The Moneybags"). They don't actually control the syndicate, but they have all the right jobs and connections. So, a judge might have control over the judicial process, but he will answer to a superior in the syndicate. Psychiatrists belong here too. The Moneybags are so-called because they raise a lot of the money. It would be suspicious if big corporations funded groups like this, but they can invest money into front- groups. And the majority of the syndicate's work is done through completely legitimate fronts. We can tap phone lines and access people's records from behind government agencies. Usually, these are the guys that go after Enemy Targets. Normally, harrassment is organized under several "action policies". If a target isn't an enemy, a standard policy is enforced. Low level organizers (the aforementioned "playwrights") play around with the target for a while and rotate crews. When a target is an "enemy", the policy doesn't immediately change, but orders filter down from high-level organizers (usually the Supreme Council) which direct 'Thespians' to provoke the target or a similar action, and Moneybags to crack down on them once they get in the way of the system. This is called Mincing, because the thespians lure the "meat" (by making it complain or fight back) into the "mincer". The Bureau also protects members of the syndicate. Normally, in a court case/psych examination or similar situation where a syndicate member is at the mercy of a moneybag, a special order arrives from above telling the moneybag to take it easy on the guy and let him off scott free. The order is always printed in blue, on fancy cherry-blossom paper, but in a very official border/font. "Cherrying" is the name for this secret process. The Bureau of Authority has a very organized system of lawyers, judges, medical officers, etc. Whenever you're committing a crime for the good of the syndicate, you must always report your location. Then they send Cousin Nancy (this is an affectionate term for the police in the employment of the syndicate that they send to arrest you instead of non- syndicate cops, so you can go straight through the appropriate channels without anything suspicious being seen) to tail you and "arrest" you the moment somebody calls 911. They all follow a minimalist strategy though. For example, the mayor of Xxxxx isn't a member of the syndicate. But several of his advisors and aides are. This way we can get laws passed in a discreet manner, and if a high-profile figure is targeted, our hold on an organization doesn't loosen. We try to arrange elections of mayors that aren't too headstrong. Though the governement is mainly used as a minor nuisance. We prefer the courts for most activities. The Bureau of Technology (Field), BoT(F) is the group in charge of the electrical equipment. They work alongside us thespians and "gaffer" the targets by giving them the usual fatigue/headaches/medical problems. They can also destroy equipment, screw up televisions, the works. I think they are particuarly sadistic. Different crews use different Techs, but they're all unpleasant. The incapacitators come in a lot of different forms. There are ones that come as a lightbulb that slowly gives people eye-strain and makes them tired. You can fit some in computer/TV monitors and the glare irritates people. I've heard they're even building fridge magnets with electronic devices in them. That isn't the extent of the BoT(F)'s machinery. They manufacture pills that can cause deformities in the womb, as well as miscarriage and give them to women in their food. They can fake HIV/AIDS so the test shows up positive the first time, but subsequent tests show that it was a false positive. This faux-HIV can be put in the target's food. They usually give the target a few health scares, but they don't like to physically hurt anyone. One Field Tech I knew had a penchant for giving people Syphillis. They could treat it easily enough with pennicillin (and the syndicate always made sure that it would be diagnosed on time), but it showed up on the targets' permanent records for medical treatment. They also conduct extensive testing without the target's knowledge. One TI we were monitoring was found to have a malignant tumor in his head (not our doing). He wasn't experiencing any of the symptoms, so we gave him some through the incapacitators and had a few of his friends warn him about cancer. He had a test done, and just for fun, we had the doctor tell him how dangerous it could be and how he could die soon. We gave him a six month waiting period and told him that by then the tumor could progress so far that it could never be removed. That's a lie, of course. Our BoT(F) had it out in a jiffy by sending one of their brain surgeons to do the job, but it's the fear that counts. The Bureau of Technology (Communications) monitors the target's phone calls, emails, and absolutely everything else. They tend to recruit from the national archives, census takers office, records office, credit card companies, medicare, insurance, etc. They are the logistics branch. As I said, most of the syndicate's work is done from within legitimate areas. What the BoT(C) does (very often) is send a "receptionist applicant" over to a credit card company or government agency pretending she knows nothing about hacking computers or accessing records. We pull a few strings and she's in. She then steals information while nobody is looking. A few old-timers like to have 100% control over the "records farm" but most prefer the minimalist approach. This is the bureau that gives out information and orders to everybody else, and also acts as a communications post for the whole syndicate. The Supreme Council delivers orders through them. Outside orders are also taken in through the BoT(C), which advertises as a mercenary group through certain channels. The Bureau of Alliances, or "trading partners" handles our allies. As far as I know, the syndicate is Xxxxxxan only. The only other gang stalking group in this country is a West Xxxxxxxxan organization called the confederacy. Very often they try to move into the xxxxx xxxxx so we have to hold them back, diplomatically or otherwise. However, we have contracts with Xxxxxxan groups whereby we handle their targets when they move into Xxxxxx. The same with the Xxxxan groups and the confederacy. The other groups pay for their targets to be "handled" while they travel here. We make millions of dollars this way. Finally, the Supreme Council controls the entire operation. I have no idea who they are, except that they have a fancy name instead of being a Bureau. They do not recruit their own men. They promote from the other departments. Most of them seem to be wealthy individuals with inheritances that manage to maintain their fortunes from investments. Not one is a CEO, Judge, or Politician. They are all just old money family types that live in the Xxxxxx Xxxxx and seem unusually lucky with their money (no doubt through insider trading). Despite this, they have a lot of spiffy technology. They have a kind of reverse incapacitator that improves their health and increases their performance. Most of them look incredibly young for their age. We don't see them much, though. Often, an audience with one of them is a kind of reward for good service. There are also ranks in our syndicate. The lowest members are pawns. They're not technically members, because there's no permanent service contract and they don't know they're working for us. They take orders from us but they're not expected to attend meetings. We call our pawns "concerned citizens", the Authority bureau has "office boys" or "secretaries", the BoT(F) has "lab rats" (who very often are paid volunteers for experiments, or people who don't know what they're testing), the BoT(C) has "spelunkers", the BoA has "travel agents". Unfortunately, we're not obligated to give protection to any of these people. So, we can give a vet an order to put down a dog, without telling him that it isn't consented to by the owner, and he will do the job and get sued without us giving him legal protection. A lot of our street theater is done by people that don't even know they're part of a syndicate. They think they're a grass roots movement and don't know that there are other people harrassing the target. The BoT(C) recruits people that think they're joining l33t hacker groups on the internet, or people that think that they're just following orders from the archives. The BoT(F) does 80% of its research at legitimate agencies like Xxxxxx's XXXXX and its drug companies. The task of pawns is to think that what they're doing is either normal and routine, or criminal in an individual isolated manner. Recruits, however, are aware of a conspiracy. However, they still remain at a misinformed level. We simultaneously maintain teams of "religious" actors and "punk" actors. A person might join us thinking he's going to clean up the community. Another person might join us thinking he's going to cause trouble and anarchy. And they can go about their merry ways. We even deliver information to them in different ways. To the religious ones, it's wrapped up in prophecy and revelation. To the punks, it's given a communist candy coating. However, they're all aware that the group is large. They're also aware of a mutual benefit aspect to the operation. Only greedy un-idealistic people get beyond the recruit rank. All the Bureaus wrap themselves up in different colours. The Moneybags pretend to be a secret club for the elite (and many of them are indeed quite powerful and wealthy, second only to the Supreme Council). The BoT(F) claims to be a "humane" research agency, or a means by which scientists can resist corporate greed, though it still attracts deviants. The BoT(C) is conspiratorially minded, and pretends to be a group searching for the 'secrets of the illuminati' or the illuminati themselves. The BoA claims to be a contract agency, traveller's club, or accounting firm. Recruits perform tasks that they know are illegal, or immoral, but they still generally believe that they're doing it for a reason. Managers like me come above the recruits and do some actual organization, whether leading a crew to a street theater match or planning an attack. Generally, managers know everything about the syndicate except what its goal is. Most are greedy enough to accept that it isn't a morally motivated group. We also engage in communication with other Bureaus to co-ordinate our activites. Different terms are used for different MOs. The Theater has "Playwrights" and "Leading Roles". The moneybags have "Success Stories". The BoT(F) has "Research Directors". The BoT(C) has "Information Awareness Officers". The BoA has "Arrangers". Finally, a rare few are promoted to the Supreme Council. GLOSSARY OF TERMS (both coloquial and official): Contract: A TI or Target. This is the official term.
