Gang Stalking A disinformation term created by U.S. intelligence agencies. It refers to the intense, long-term, unconstitutional surveillance and harassment of a person who has been designated as a target by someone associated with America’s security industry. Such operations have nothing to do with criminal gangs. Official domestic counterintelligence operations of this type are perpetrated by federal agents and intelligence/security contractors, sometimes with the support of state and local law enforcement personnel. Unofficial operations of this type are, apparently, perpetrated by private investigators and vigilantes – including many former agents and cops, some of whom are members of the quasi-governmental Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Units, sometimes on behalf of corporate clients and others with connections to the public and private elements of America’s security industry. The goal of such operations is “disruption” of the life of an individual deemed to be an enemy (or potential enemy) of clients or members of the security state. Arguably, the most accurate term for this form of harassment would be counterintelligence stalking. American and British victims have described the process as “no-touch torture” – a phrase which also captures the nature of the crime: cowardly, unethical (and often illegal), but difficult to prove legally, because it generates minimal forensic evidence. Tactics include but are not limited to slander, blacklisting, mobbing (or intense, organized harassment in the workplace), black bag jobs (or residential break-ins), abusive phone calls, computer hacking, framing, threats, blackmail, vandalism, street theater (staged physical and verbal interactions with minions of the people who orchestrate the stalking), harassment by noises, etc... Since counterintelligence stalking goes far beyond surveillance into the realm of psychological terrorism, it is essentially a form of extrajudicial punishment. As such, the harassment is illegal even when done by the government. It clearly violates, for example, the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unwarranted searches, and the Sixth Amendment which guarantees the right to a trial. Such operations also violate similar fundamental rights defined by state constitutions. Stalking is also specifically prohibited by the criminal codes of every state in America. Although the term “gang stalking” is intentionally misleading, it does have one merit: it is accurate in the sense that the perpetrators law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, and private security thugs do often function in the manner of criminal gangs. Although they sometimes conduct their operations under the color of law, many of their activities have neither constitutional nor moral legitimacy. That is true of all of the likely major perpetrators of organized stalking in the U.S.: the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. military counterintelligence agencies, state and local Law Enforcement Intelligence Units, and security contractors. All of those groups and other federal intelligence agencies, such as the CIA and NSA – have well-documented histories of abusing their powers. Organized stalking methods were used extensively by communist East Germany’s state police as a means of maintaining political control over its citizens. Although they are illegal in the U.S., the same covert tactics are quietly used by America’s local and federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to suppress dissent, silence whistle-blowers, and get revenge against persons who have angered someone with connections to the public and private agencies involved. Illegal counterintelligence operations have been perpetrated against Americans by urban police departments in the U.S. since the late 1800s. Traditionally, the groups of mostly-undercover police officers involved are called red squads, although the modern official term is Law Enforcement Intelligence Units.
