What is Gang Stalking?<br />

In addition to being a covert investigation, Gang Stalking is also a systemic form of control. It has<br />

similarities to workplace mobbing, but is called Gang Stalking because it takes place primarily outside<br />

in the community, where the target or Targeted Individual is followed around and placed under<br />

intrusive and directed surveillance by groups of organized Covert Human Intelligence Sources also<br />

known as informants. The target is monitored 24/7.<br />

Mobbing can be understood as the stressor to beat all stressors. It is an impassioned,<br />

collective campaign by coworkers to exclude, punish, and humiliate a targeted worker.<br />

Initiated most often by a person in a position of power or influence, mobbing is a<br />

desperate urge to crush and eliminate the target. The urge travels through the workplace<br />

like a virus, infecting one person after another. The target comes to be viewed as<br />

absolutely abhorrent, with no redeeming qualities, outside the circle of acceptance and<br />

respectability, deserving only of contempt. As the campaign proceeds, a steadily larger<br />

range of hostile ploys and communications comes to be seen as legitimate. 54.<br />

Gang Stalking is similar to workplace mobbing on an emotional and psychological level, but where<br />

mobbing happens primarily in the workplace, Gang Stalking is a covert investigation that happens in<br />

the community. As the Gang Stalking campaign moves forward there is also an increase in hostile<br />

ploys which come to be seen as legitimate.<br />

Why would the government of a democratic country target and monitor an innocent person 24/7?<br />

Think of the cost involved. The person would have to be guilty to illicit that sort of attention. Average<br />

people are not important enough to have that much attention paid to them, much less by the<br />

government. These are legitimate reactions, that a person might have upon first hearing about Gang<br />

Stalking. It hard for the average person to believe that innocent people are having covert investigations<br />

opened on them for months or even years at a time. These are some of the responses, but let's look take<br />

a look and see if these reactions are correct.<br />

Many people do not realize that under the recent anti-terror laws, governments now have even more<br />

legal powers than they did before to invade the privacy of the average person. These laws allow<br />

investigations to be opened on private citizens. These laws allow for email, internet, phone and other<br />

forms of communication to be intercepted. The laws enable Informants to be hired to spy on average<br />

citizens. Investigations can be opened for the most trivial of reasons. These laws are being abused in<br />

the many countries.<br />

SCOTTISH COUNCILS ARE USING SURVEILLANCE AND security powers<br />

intended to fight terrorism and organized crime in order to spy on ordinary members of<br />

the public suspected of petty offences such as breaching the smoking ban, playing<br />

music too loudly and dropping litter.<br />

Under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa), councils have the power to<br />

secretly film and bug people, use paid spies to inform on a suspect's activities, and even<br />

intercept communications data such as mobile and landline use and information about<br />

email traffic. 1<br />

The same abuses were happening on a regular basis in the UK, and other democratic countries as well.<br />

In the U.K. the laws were being used to open investigations, and spy on individuals for putting out the<br />
