Protest and Privacy

http://www.jbhfile.com/resource_foipa.html

Some targets do get help from their friends. Joel is one such example. He has blogged many times before about the fact that his friends were kind enough to share with him that they had been approached and asked to spy on him. He also knows what they are making him appear to be crazy, and maybe some kind of a pervert or something.

What Joel also mentioned which really caught me by surprise is that his friends had been shown surveillance footage of him. I have come across other targets who have friends helping them or whatever, but Joel was the first to share that his friends had seen actual surveillance footage of him.

Known and Existing Video Surviellance

This article makes public the details of conversations I have had with personal friends in which they have described in exacting detail the types of very real and actual surviellance footage of myself that the investigators have gathered to date; in other words, despite the set-up attempts, covert druggings, spreading of false and slanderous rumors and otherwise, there do exist real and actual bits of video and audio surviellance that the investigators have compiled from my daily life and routine over the past six years or so.

The above mentioned personal friends claim that the following bits of surviellance were used in various demonstrative ways as a means of attempting to coerce them into personal involvement in the investigation as informants or otherwise; apparently, the investigators did not count on these few individuals bowing out on conscience and eventually confiding in me personally
These bits of video and audio surviellance do not demonstrate behaviour out of the norm of the average american citizen; nor does the surviellance footage demonstrate abberance of behavior outside the norm of the same; what the compiled footage does provide to the investigators however, and *only* when coupled with set-up attempts specifically designed to supplement, further, or magnify said content ... is a means of forcing the assumption and appearance of my needing some sort of psychological rehabilitation; or, at the most, an exploration of the need for such: psychotheraphy, regression therapy, discussion of past sexual relations, "is he a stalker?, a potential sociopath/violent offender?, worse?"

In other words, "what sorts of forced incrimination attempts would best leverage the existing and rather non-descript actual surviellance that has been acquired? how could we cast it in a more sinister light?" ... or ... "if the target is set up in a way that gives the appearance of his being an obsessive stalker of an ex romantic partner, then what sort of psychological argument could be made if the same target was actually caught on film supposedly 'abusing' his pet?"
This sort of thing.

This article aims to make public my knowledge of the general nature of said acquired surviellance as transferred to me by other personal friends who have been involved at one point or the other with the investigation.[/quote]

How creepy is that? Not only are these people Gang Stalking him, but they are video taping him in his home. When did democracy get that final stake through the heart? Did it ever really exist? Should we not be outraged by this?

The video or surveillance that his friends describe are two specific ones. One where he get's home and the dog has made a mess and he get's angry at the dog. I guess they wanted to use that off moment to make him look like an angry and irritable person. The next video is one where he is in a very private moment. According to Joel his friends have described seeing surveillance video of him self pleasuring himself.

First of all under what circumstances would that be anyone's business? How would that help you make a case? How sick would you have to be to tune into footage such as that, and then to share that with his friends? Joel is pretty easy to believe and I have no reason to doubt this statement. It's a form of violation, the system can't get at him one way, so they go in for degradation of another sort.

I think this is despicable, but very little surprises me. For me personally if I found out that I was being recorded, I would just put up a tent, or something similar in my home and work out of that. I don't believe in violent protest, but I do believe in protest, saying no, raging against the dying of the light, or in this case, the dying of democracy, or what I thought was democracy.
I don't believe anyone has the right to do that to another, but more importantly I don't think that had anything to do with surveillance to see if he was bad or good. It's just one more way to say that they own their targets, that they have control. Before I would give up control like that, I would seriously live in a tent, or something similar inside my home.

So if you ever see surveillance video of me in a tent, blanket, or something similar, not crazy, just protesting. Also if there ever was surveillance video of me like that, then you would know that I was right, and would have proven my case.

People have a right to some freedoms, this is one of them, when do people stop letting the government do this? Only when they have had enough. East Germany had to spend 40 years plus before enough was enough, or rather I suspect that the experiment was a success and the powers that be, decided the same results could be achieved in the rest of the world.

I mean people found out that the government had been listing into their phone calls, monitoring emails and there are no protests in the streets. Journalists found out that they had been spied on, and there is no real protest. People are just so accepting of things. It's tiring to watch.

I use to think people were so brave and heroic and that they would stand up against such times as this. The history books leave out so many things, they put in things that are not quite true, and always to the victor goes the spoils. I see them on the trains, and I think how can you be a part of this? It just bothers me the lack of protest. This surveillance society is just comfortable enough that people don't want to rock the boat. It's bad, but it could be worst, true, but you know what, it could also be a lot better.

People have the power to change this to make it better, to say what will and will not go, what they will and will not put up with, or be a part of. That's why some during the My Lia Massacre just went along with it, while a very few tried to get some of the women and children to safety. I do believe people have the power for change for better or for worst. I also believe that people allow things to happen.

Having been a target for several years, I have observed the people around targets, how they act, what they do when they think they can get away with it. The hideous mob mentality of it all. If they think a target is guilty or responsible for something and they want to punish them, as long as they think they can get away with it they will. They are like bugs, and with the right raid, they just scatter. It's really irritating to observe this, but it's also true. They will get away with what they think they can get away with. This goes from the top to the bottom, and we have to keep drawing those lines in the sand, to stop it or to keep it at bay.

People do what they are told. If they think they can get away with it they will. There morality is based on what is cool and popular from one minute to the next. What they are told is allowable from one minute to the next. People will be in favor of you if you are one of them, if they like your personal circumstances, or associations. These things have some value, but no real value, because they have very little to do with who you are, as a person.

The side you don't see.

The side you don't see.

What targeted individuals have to understand is that there are two sides to the story. I still don't understand this at times, but I have come to a place of acceptance.
There is the side that we experience and then the side that some of these Citizen Informants experience.

As I have documented before, Citizen Informants are told something very specific, and they are often acting this information.

Remember last summer I did some field work. I slipped by confines and was able to be away from the Snitches for an hour or so. When I was walking, based on where I was walking, and the time of night I was walking a funny thing happened. Several phones in a row started ringing at about the same time as I moved down the street. It was summer and the windows were either open or the phones were just really loud. They rang one right after another, as I moved up the street.

As I walked I heard someone answer one of the phones, it was on speaker. I heard the person on the other end, explain something to the extent of the fact that they were looking for something along the lines of a mentally ill person who might be in the area.

Now I have mentioned that I found out the reason I am allegedly being stalked is because I am suppose to be mentally ill? I have never had any kind of interaction with any mental health professional "that I am aware of".

So I decided to walk back to where I live. Now I was not trying to be paranoid. The phone call might have had nothing to do with me, but since I had slipped my snitches, I was fairly sure that it did.

I returned back to the area, at that time of night there should have been very few people out, there were dozens. The dog walkers, police cars, etc. I passed two as I came closer to home. It was creepy, it was like watching the neighbourhood Gestapo or something, with the dogs.
I was still walking past them all, then as I came closer to my home this guy comes up to me, stops right in front of me, and calls in my description. He calls in gender, race, approximate height, and says something to the effect of yeah I think we have em. He really didn't care, that I was right there. It was like I was not human or something. I could have stopped him and asked him questions, and taken it further, but it was field work and I had yielded more than expected on that expedition.

This event was something of an experience. That is just one side you are not seeing in most cases. Some of these people are not bad, some actually believe that they are doing something good.

Picture this you are a home owner, part of some community watch. The phone rings, they tell you that they are calling from Stasi central, I mean community central, and that there is mentally disturbed, or pedophile, or rapist, drug dealer etc, you want to protect your community, cause you assume it's true. This was the first time I had any clue, what actually get's said on these calls, and what the community at large must really be thinking.

Remember I have never been openly evaluated by anyone that I am aware of for this kind of a determination to be made. I have also never had any opportunity to defend myself or tell my side of the story. Yet my life is being disrupted this way, and I am being labeled, as are many other Targets.

Remember they get a description of our race, age, gender, for example if you are white, male, 6"4, age 45, that is what they will be told. We have a white male, 6'4, age 45. Is an emotionally disturbed person, and is sensitive to keys jingling. So they will try to track the target from home, and they will use this information. The foot patrols and cars use the hand signals and others use audio ques for where to go, with directions on where to go.

So along the path, they will jangle keys at targets that fit the description to see if they have the correct person in sight at all times. That's some of the info they get in their emails.

The second scenario. I was on the train, and this was shortly after I learnt some of the Stasi like signals. Before this I just always thought that it was people trying to provoke me, and it had worked on a few occasions, because you are so aware of the harassment.

I finally tuned into the fact that it's not that simple. There is always a conductor. (These are names that I give for the people carrying out the roles.) The conductor in my opinion tells people where to go, and when to carry out actions. They do this via the hand signals.

There is the observer(s). There will always be other people looking to see what your response is. These people will watch you closely and look to see if you react, what the reaction is.

Then there are what I am calling the agitators. They carry out a specific action. Eg. I always thought people would randomly irritate me, and then do it in sink with each other. This is not exactly the case. Depending on how many of them were able to get on the same train as me, and get into position to run the skit, there might be one or more agitators.

They know what to do ahead of time in some cases, but most often they are acting on the signal of the conductor. Eg. If your sensitivity is keys jingling, the jingling is not random. What I observed was this is done when the stop is called out. It's very specific.

You as the target you will never understand this. Now let's say someone jangles keys and we get all upset, well people are watching and the reaction is going to be observed and reported back.
So they jingle keys for about 5 stops. We have two agitators, one sitting right beside you, the other right behind you. You know that people are going out of their way to annoy the hell out of you, and have been doing so for the last 6 months straight and you have no idea why?

So finally you get angry, and you flip out a little bit and tell them to knock it off. Well they keep doing it. As far as they know, you are a disturbed person, and they are just following orders.
Meanwhile the conductor is watching this, the observers. They are going to be complete strangers, who report back the outcome of the skit.

They see a 15 minute to 30 minute skit. They don't get to see that you did not sleep last night, or for the last 5 months because someone is electronically keeping you awake. They did not see you walking to the underground, and that people kept banging into you, as they jingled their keys. They did not see the guy who almost tripped you, while jingling his keys in your face. By this time you are pissed, you know that you are being deliberately provoked and have not a freaking clue why?

So the skit happens. You are human and finally flip out a bit and tell them to knock it off, hit the keys away etc. Well that whole skit and your reaction to it has just been observed. They never get to see the behind the scene production. Their role was a short 15 minutes, and why would strangers lie and say that you had flipped out? Seemed dangerous?

Cause they never see the full picture of our harassment.

So how can someone have another person declared crazy if they are not? Well depends on who is doing the observation. If you are a perceived danger to society or to the public's health, under some of those laws I was looking over, they can have you investigated.

If you deliberately sensitized like I was and many other TI's, you won't have a clue that it was deliberate, and you won't know why. I now know that my original harassers tried to sensitize me to a few things. One took the others did not, but when I got to my next job, they tried using all of them to see which ones had taken. For me it was just harassment and that is all I saw felt and experienced at the time.

The little twit that sensitized me had some sort of military link. He did something on the weekends military related, or something like that. I think it's fair to say, he knew what he was doing, and I had no idea at the time that he was deliberately sensitizing me.

This is the side that you don't see. You don't see this well rehearsed, coordinated effort by our civilian spies. Some of them truly think they are keeping the community safe from a dangerous person. Others are there to agitate the target, so that they will flip out and get them committed. In other cases as Mark described he had parents setting little kids in front of him, who then stopped looked shocked and then ran the other way. No doubt to make him look like a pedophile and his reactions would have been observed the whole time. The same is true for any other lie that they are trying to pin.

The side they don't see. Us being tortured day in and day out. They don't see the provocations, well some do, because they are deliberate agitators, but they are as the Nazi's like to say, just following orders.

Some of them understand that there is something not quite right happening, others do not and really think that there is something wrong with you.

In the case where they upset a target so much the target flips out and hurts one of them, then the target get's arrested or taken away, they feel that they have done their job, cause the person clearly was crazy. On the other hand you finally get upset after a billion years without sleep, you think they are evil, godless, vigilantes or whatever, and you never see that side of it, and they never see your side.

The only one that sees what is really happening are the people pulling the strings. (Well a bit dramatic, but not far from the truth.)

Also the snitches that move in beside us, some are there just to piss you off, they want to keep you awake, if they can get you to flip out, it's justification for these programs to keep running. You can flip back to my post called hypothetical.

http://gangstalking.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/hypothetical/

There are two sides to every story, but in this case there might be three. Our side, the Informants side, and then the big picture, the side those in charge see. The side that has to ensure justification for these programs and therefore funding for them.

I hope I have given both set's of readers some insight into the side that they don't see.
