I'm fully aware that people are genuinely stalked, but if you take a look at the links and the cartoon strip linked to from this, I think it must have been done by someone who has paranoid schizophrenia or who has some similar paranoia issues.

I'm sure the poster means well, but I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing we should be indulging on Indymedia.

yeh this is all a bit conspiratorial whispers for me, try the 9/11 truthers.

We're talking about a revolution here, an overthrow of the state and the powers that be, the same powers that rape murder and maime millions every year, these are fucking sophisticated people with all the backing of the state behind them, and you guys are saying it's paranoia? it's happening, it's happening now and to many many people. a lot of these things are really hard to prove, it's done with stealth and canning, but it's done daily. these intimidation tactics are very advanced and are usually tailor made for the individual targeted, they range from having a police harasment, break-ins, general harasment, sexual harasment, rape, extorsion, blackmail, hacking, and much much more.
having been on the sharp end of some of these techniques i can tell you this much, it's more then the casual stalking and this term doesn't do it justice. it's an all out cold war on us, and we'll have to find an answer or we'll be left fragmented and frightened from things we cannot prove, fighting an "invisible enemy".

And yes, having being targeted have had an adverse effect on my stability of mind, people don't usually go crazy for nothing, it's not schizophrenia, it's real and it's really effective. unfortunately most people won't understand until they are under the looking glass, I cannot explain exactly either, but there is too much weird shit happening around.

I hate irrational conspiracy theories, I don't think the world is controlled by an elite of masons, or that 9/11 is an inside job, or the queen is an alien frog, or that the Jews run the world, I like rational, testable, explainable things but this is done with the sort of sophistication and stealth that requires more then the odd organization or two.

I'm not sure what else to say, but if you come across someone who tells you about these kind of strange experiences, chances are he or she is being done, and you owe to at least listen!

The videos do look like they potray someone with mental health issues. But the techniques are those that the Business of Scientology have been using against opponents, for decades, in a scheme called Fair Game. The intention of Fair Game is to drive people insane and utterly destroy their lives. From a number of reports it is fairly successful.

Indymedia might not want to consider that gang stalking does not happen - but then do not jump to hasty conclusions. Just check with people involved with Anonymous.

There is justified paranoia about stalking, I have been stalked by cops myself as a harassment and intimidation tactic relating to political activity. I know phones get tapped, houses get bugged and emails scanned. But it is fairly overt and obvious. It comes out in court cases.

This website shows someone who imagines their work colleagues each saying one word to her which can then be assembled into an abusive sentence. That is where the line is crossed into mental health issues. You really have to look at the cartoon strips on the website to see how it is coming from the tinfoil hat brigade.

If anything it ridicules genuine stalking and harassment, much as the more crazy conspiracy theorists make genuine conspiracies look stupid by association.

Here are some sceptical links regarding this phenomenon of "organised stalking":

They do literally believe that the government or others are beaming mind control rays into their heads.

Again, the state does tap phones, bug houses and follow people it considers a threat, but these people take the paranoia to ludicrous extremes.
