Ganstalked Again in San Antonio Texas USA

Sophie Scholl | 29.01.2010 16:33 | Repression | Social Struggles | Terror War

I was gangstalked in Los Angeles and had to move 6 times, twice across international boundaries. This didn't help. Congratulations to my tormentors, they've now graduated to "international terrorism."

I was left alone for 13 months after moving to San Antonio, Texas, USA. Then about the second week of November 2009 it started again for no apparent reason. I've had enough of this, even a little is too much, so I'm going to teach you...

HOW TO SPOT THEIR VEHICLES:

I was gangstalked in Los Angeles and had to move 6 times, twice across international boundaries. This didn't help. Congratulations to my tormentors, they've now graduated to "international terrorism."

I was left alone for 13 months after moving to San Antonio, Texas, USA. Then about the second week of November 2009 it started again for no apparent reason. I've had enough of this, even a little is too much, so I'm going to teach you...

HOW TO SPOT THEIR VEHICLES:

Police and others use specific ways of marking their vehicles. These are called "Tradecraft." Below are some of the markings most commonly used.

*Pine Tree Air Fresheners (Verified by Texas Department of Public Safety. This is decades old)
*Crooked license plates
*One missing headlight or taillight
*One healight or taillight brighter than the other
*No lights at all
*One missing parking or fog light front and or rear
*No front plate
*Missing hubcap or hubcaps
*Very dark tint jobs and extremely bright headlights often on a white car with black trim. Vehicles configured this way are often used for escort work, but I've been stalked and harrassed by these, so I'm including them.
*Handicapped Placards hanging from the rear view mirror
*Beads, flowers or anything else unusual hanging from the rear view mirror
*Toys on rear deck
*Various types of decals
*Antenna decorations, sometimes called “antenna balls”
*Holiday or Christmas decorations, especially red ribbon on the radiator grill. I saw these locally and on vehicles in Afganistan on CNN
*A vehicle with a custom rim different then the other three custom rims.
*Vehicles playing very loud bass (The SAPD has a sick looking pink pickup truck with dark tinted windows)
*Various types of dents. The “PIT Manuever” dent is the most easily recognizable. It consists of a dimple on either the right or left corner of the rear bumper.
*A vehicle so badly damaged that it shouldn't be on the road at all
*Driver’s door different color than the rest of the vehicle. These are usually black-on-white.

In general anything that makes a vehicle look out of place, even a little. When evaluating a vehicle for tradecraft, use the hit system. The more tradecraft elements you count on a single vehicle, the more likely you have a bogie.

*Also, cafe style motorcycles with one headlight on, on a two headlight bike. The riders will be wearing full leathers. You may sometimes see the riders wearing rigid backpacks. These are RF jamming devices intended to prevent remote detonation of RCIED's (Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices). If you Google RF jamming devices, you will eventually find the web site for these backpacks.

Hand Signs: I'm aware of two
*Driver’s hand outside the window pointing down at a 45% angle, like the Latin American gangs.
*Something similar to the above using a cigarette. I beleive it's called, "show us your smoke."

If you spot a vehicle with tradecraft don't assume it's traveling alone. They often travel in groups of two or more. Look for the others. They are extremely dangerous. If they catch you looking at them and they know who you are, they'll run some pretty ugly "psyops" on you. And, if you're unlucky enough to be in a position to impede their movement, you may be run off the road. I was.
My experience being gangstalked started in April of 2003, after "flipping off" one of their escortees who had just run me off the road. What happened next is every escort cop in the city harrassed me 24/7 for the next two weeks without abatement. So my first experience being gangstalked was by the escort cops of the LAPD. What a bunch of F'in heroes. NOT!

When I first moved to San Antonio 15 months ago there wasn't a lick of tradecraft on the streets, now they're filthy with it. We're being invaded by something. Whoever these people are I hope they go back where they came from. They're NOT good neighbors, they're terrorists.
It sure looks like SA's turning into another scum-sucking spy town like Houston and Laredo. What a tragedy!

**PRINT AND SAVE THIS CHEAT SHEET. IF YOU DON’T SEE IT TODAY YOU WILL EVENTUALLY. This stuff changes daily.

BTW:
All the computers in the public libraries are wiretapped “big-time,” and you can’t even clear the browser history. The first day I posted this article I was greeted with a very rude surprise in traffic on the way home. I’ve also heard complaints from several of my friends that wiretapping is rampant in San Antonio. I can attest that not only is it rampant, but capricious and vindictive. Not only did they wiretap my Internet connection, they leaked the information they obtained to a third “non-govermental” party, from whom I received the “surprise.” I can’t even begin to tell you how far out of compliance this is with federal wiretapping guidelines authorized undere F.I.S.A. (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), which “only” authorizes warrantless wiretaps in cases of foreign espionage. If they’re willing to do this just to mess with someone, do you really think your business secrets aren’t fair game?

They also have roving and stationary plain-clothed civillian foot and vehicle patrols that text message the whereabouts, direction and time-of-travel of any individual they choose to target, even if that individual is not under investigation. I have been threatened by these people on several occaissions and been “shown” my bust on two cellphones and one wireless enabled “Gameboy.” In my case this “tool” was used to harrass me and not for any legitimate law enforcement purpose. I can only describe this as “punitive surveillance” which is strictly prohibited by the fourth and fourteenth amendments to the US Constitution, the gist of which is that the power of investigation cannot be used to stifle or “chill” lawful expression and behavior, mush less activities of “daily living” such as going to work or to the gym and “life processes” such as eating and sleeping. If they’re willing to do this, what makes you think they won’t text your leaving your hotel to someone up the road who’ll crash into your Mercedes or BMW to collect the insurance.

TOURISTS AND CONVETIONERS:
I don’t recommend San Antonio as a travel destination. It’s not civil rights, due process, or “privacy” friendly. Vote with your feet. Patronize a destination that is less tolerant of domestic spying and all the corrupt skulduggery that inevitably comes with it.

And please report back, or start your own thread. I’d love to take a poll or read about the most civil rights friendly and domestic spying intolerant communities in America or the world for that matter. Americans and others deserve to be informed about the communities that are going top treat them the best, even if they’re overseas. It’s too important to be left to chance.
