Rhyme Time: Stupid Gangstalker Tricks

  Let’s All Go Shopping with Gang Stalkers

by SceneNSantaCruz
*FYI:  DH= Dear Husband

My husband went shopping the other day.
As usual gangstalkers got in his way.
Harassment and stalking is what they do best.
If bystanders get tipped off, they fail the test.

Gangstalkers try to cause maximum stress;
they compete with other bullies, out to impress.
The only way to move up in the gangstalking scene,
is to prove you’re the best at being Nasty and Mean!

Some of you will raise shoulders and shrug:
“who would want to be a low-level thug?”
Not your dream when you started school?
It’s ideally suited for those who are cruel.

I’ve exaggerated here, but not by much…
just poetic license for a humorous touch.
The years of harassment in ways that seem dumb
is so relentless, you eventually grow numb.

It’s deliberately ridiculous, so when you point it out,
your story will likely be met with doubt.
But in harassment, it isn’t the parts, it’s the sum.
Gangstalking sucks, so let’s have a little fun!

So back to my husbands shopping trip that day:
they were impatient for to him to get underway.
They waited outside, circling the block,
revving their engines, they were eager to stalk!

When DH (dear husband) finally gets in the car and hits the road
they fall in behind, flashing signals in gangstalker code.
Then they all turn on headlights for the day time ride,
in a truly mockable display of gangstalker pride!

DH drove round the block, parked, came back in.
Now they were angry; and he wore a grin.
An hour later, when he really left for the store,
the stalkers weren’t as happy as they’d been before.

When he parks his car and heads for the front,
its time for a classic gangstalker stunt!
When pissed off, stalkers pull out all the stops,
you’re bound to see some theatrical props.

A few rush ahead to beat him to the door.
The objective: settle a gangstalker score!
They were only following him on foot and by car
how dare he make them feel like the idiots they are.

So up ahead several stalkers now form a que,
to get into a store that’s not special or new.
The blind woman who drove her car here today,
taps with her white cane, and begins the delay.

The next guy’s backpack hits the floor,
spilling its contents right in the door.
Each item’s thoroughly examined, then put away
as he blocks the doorway, for his extended stay.

Sadly, the next one seems touched a bit!
She’d go inside, if her cart would just fit!
Never mind the door’s twice as wide,
she’s punishing the walls on either side!

Five minutes later DH gets through the door,
the stalkers are inside, but he’s followed by more.
For a flash mob, a large group isn’t unusual at all.
A widely distributed text notifies, via broadcast call.

Some gangstalkers will be where you are, almost every time.
Others only come when it’s convenient or prime.
They don’t always know each other on sight,
but they all know HARASSMENT isn’t legal or right!

Inside the store, one group heads off to set the next delay;
the rest follow my DH too close, deliberately get in his way.
gangstalkers try to strike the balance between subtle and rude,
while my husband goes about his business, shopping for food.

The group parked at the end of the baking and cereal aisle,
has turned their carts sideways, gangstalker style.
Large glasses and hoodies cover each face.
When the aisle is impassable, everything’s in place.

When my husband arrives, it should look unplanned:
just unaware shoppers, searching for a favorite brand.
Their phones are on vibrate, so when they get the call
10 simultaneous messages, won’t make a sound at all.

Then they all get a text message as my husband draws near:
“He’s coming you guys, get your asses in gear!”
It’s all fun and games up to this point,
but it won’t take much to break up the joint.

So ’round to the head of the aisle he came,
an unwilling participant in today’ stalker game.
He sees them waiting down at the end,
pretending to be shoppers, trying to blend.

But hiding their faces while they linger and lurk,
doesn’t say “shopper”, like it screams “Stupid Jerk!”
They are newbies… strange, suspicious, and sonot-cool.”
Their asses missed some classes in Gangstalker School.

When he first sees them they’re all averting their eyes,
thanks to that heads up from one of their spies.
He watches them as they suddenly busy themselves
appearing fascinated with the goods on the shelves.

 

They plan not to not to notice him when he gets near.
When he says “excuse me” they’ll pretend they can’t hear!
They’ll draw it out just as long as they’re able
or until some innocent customer arrives at the table

A few minutes later, when they finally let him get by
out will snake a gangstalker foot, ever so sly.
My husband is well aware of the awaiting score
we’ve both been through this many times before.

My husband looks at the trap that they’ve laid
someone didn’t get how the hand should be played
Those rookies are trapped between him and their carts,
in a clear display of missing tactical smarts.

DH took a deep breath, there was a tangible pause.
He wondered how dedicated they were to the cause.
What will they sacrifice to be a gangstalking star?
Then he speaks to them slowly, like the fools they are:

“I’m giving you a chance to get this right,
by the time I get down there you better be out of sight!
now get the damn shopping carts out of my way
Or… you can leave them there, and make my day!”

Suddenly my husband hunkers down low,
shopping cart in front, ready to go.
He’d filled it with canned goods for added weight,
and before they knew it, he was out of the gate!

He headed toward them picking of speed.
They moved surprisingly quickly, spurred on by need!
They could hardly forfeit this game fast enough!
They liked to play, but they hated it rough!

“Coming through!” The last warning was loud…
and the shopping cart, like a missile, parts the crowd!
They cleared the aisle in the nick of time,
leaving no blood, just the usual trail of slime.

Since no gangstalker got hurt today,
they all live to stalk another day..
And that means DH will get another chance
to make some gangstalkers, really dance.

And gangstalker, you stupid fool
you really think what you do is cool?
You can’t possibly think you are making the world great…
by spreading lies and stirring up hate.

Your insincere displays of gangstalker pride
are usually accompanied by a face that you hide.
And dear gangstalker, what you seem to not even know
is that on any importance scale, you rank very low.

If your job description includes “harass and hound”
if you stalk, lurk and follow people around,
you are apparently only valuable enough
for unimportant, uninformed, busy work stuff!

It is painfully obvious that if you were smart,
you wouldn’t be dogging my shopping cart!!

Dear readers, this is what its like for us, every day
constant harassment, by people that don’t go away.
They converge on us, wherever we go,
they hide in plain sight, putting on a show.

Annoying people may seldom cross your path,
but for gangstalked victims, it defies random math.
If you don’t believe this, or have any doubt
I’ve got a link to help you out:

fightgangstalking.com is where you should go
to learn everything about gangstalking, you need to know.

Gangstalking Blog Readers Come from 89 Countries

I wanted to share a couple things with you that will encourage you to believe that those of us who are victims are getting the word out. We’ve had a little help from all the fake victims (ie. gangstalker disinfo agents)– who weren’t able  stop spouting nonsense long enough to notice when enough disinfo, became too much disinfo…. effectively pushing the previously unfamiliar term “Gang Stalking” into the mainstream English lexicon.  Even better,  you don’t have to have an intimate knowledge of what it is  to get the immediate understanding that it is  perpetrated by a group that stalks and harasses.

Gangstalking:  such an appropriate term for bullying, following and harassing someone by those who feel powerful only when they can bully with the support of other equally morally challenged pals.  Bullying is just so much more rewarding (and effective) when bullies band together. With other bullies praising your nasty behavior and frequent in-group back patting and fawning…. you might be able to forget that bullying is flat out WRONG!  How else can you explain so many people jumping at the opportunity to dish out hurtful behavior and be flat-out mean….  If you are a gangstalker, despite your new set of norms and your group’s twisted morals…. know this:  Mean people really do Suck!  Being the biggest bully on the block seems to be a truly coveted title in our neighborhood, judging by the sheer number of people aspiring to it.

The fourth anniversary of the Earthquake that hit Japan and sent damaging waves to the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor,  was a sort of a milestone for me.  While waiting on the shore, watching for the predicted waves to arrive, I was followed by someone, who I felt  certain  was stalking me.  That same day, the picture taking of our house, our yard  and us, began in earnest.  Later that day my husband and I were followed on our walk by a group of three people.  Three people that I continued to see, wherever I was for several months to follow.  I would emerge from a store and one of them would be crouched down in front of my car taking a picture of it (or so it appeared).  They would move away as I got close enough to ask them about it.  I started this blog about 6 months after that.  A lot happened in those 6 months.  We tried a lot of things to get help and to get a handle on this suddenly bizzare shift in our day to day interactions with strangers. We have learned so much about organized harassment since then.  It’s ineviteble when it goes on around you every day for four years.

I still think making this a crime that is recognized, as such. by people who have never experienced it, is the key to stopping it.  Talking about it, writing about it and familiarizing people with is working.  Speaking articulately and credibly about gang stalking is key.  Remember:  Devils. Fallen Angels, Demons, Reptilians  Aliens, Chem Trails, Secret Implants, Occult, Witchcraft etc..  are  not going to get top billing in any legitimate blog or website discussing gangstalking.  I filter out comments that focus on hocus pocus.  (that unintended rhyme is quite amusing to me –I just like the way it sounds… but enough… lets not focus on hocus pocus!)

The good news is my blog stats, while modest, show a marked increase from 2012.  (I need to devote some time to learning how to get my blog found on the Internet by people who are looking for info on Gang Stalking– you have to go through a lot of search hits and pages, before I pop up).  But still, for a hard to find blog, like this one,  the interest in Gang Stalking is on the rise.  That means we are getting the word out…  We are making progress.  Here are the stats that prove it.

Total Views to Date (September, 7, 2015)   39,762 for JustifiablyDisturbedbyGangstalking.com. That breaks down as 18,415 Visitors from 89 different countries I do realize that if I posted more frequently, some of my visitors would be repeat  visitors.  But, the numbers are encouraging to me.  We all know that a good portion of those visitors are, the criminals —  (sadly, this blog would not be possible had it not been for their tedious, relentless dedication to the art of bullying).  I do wonder if I had done a blog on something like, crafting…. managing just 34 posts in 4 years, would I have anyone reading it?

They probably wouldn’t hail from 89 countries, but the good news is this:

when you are being gangstalked…. you have a built in fan base for whatever obscure topic or random musings you might want to share with anyone willing to read your blog.  So, even if nobody was interested in my blog on crafting or what have you….  Some stalker would be reading it.  Just like some shopper with no interest in crafting, following me around Michael’s while I comb through beads, paper, yarn and paint.

I do know I need to blog more.  I have a lot to share.  We have learned a lot about the structure of the gangstalking program here in Santa Cruz and in more populated areas of California (gee, those are hard to come by.)  We see these people and are harassed by them every single day… multiple times in a single day.  We know quite a bit about them.  We can make educated guesses about many things that we have no direct knowledge of.  Exposure is key.  Nobody lives in a vacuum.  Being human is a lifelong learning experience.

Since every victim experiences different facets of the same harassment, tailored to fit the circumstances, we probably have insights that others would find useful, or might help them to make sense of their circumstances.    It seems less and less bizarre and more and more carefully planned as the years go by.  They say you can get used to anything…  too bad we have to.

Other people surely have tips on what has worked and what has backfired in dealing with stalkers.  My husband swears his Go Pro keeps stalkers at bay.  When he takes his helmet off, Go Pro stays on top and the helmet sits in the top basket of the shopping cart  (even if he only is planning to buy enough to fill a hand cart… the  Go Pro gets a better view in the push cart).  He says THEY STAY AWAY when they see the camera.

That tip might help someone…  share yours… and I promise to be a more active blogger!

Law Enforcement Initiated Gang Stalking

The article below was published on  Free Press Houston. I included the entire text in this post, but you can find the original here:  Gang-Stalking-Government- Style

What you are about to read describes a Gangstalking Campaign initiated by the Houston Police Officer’s Union in response to an inflammatory remark made by an individual on his Facebook page. Tasteless or not, last time I checked inflammatory remarks were protected by the US constitution.

I do think this particular Harassment Campaign was less organized and systematic than the typical Gang Stalking Campaign (such as the one experienced by most victims of this nasty crime, myself included)  Nevertheless, the results of actions taken by the Police Union, in this case were certainly forseeable. I believe they knew exactly what was going to happen to Evan Carroll when they posted his name and address, phone number and employer information on their Facebook page. They KNOWINGLY set a mob of law enforcement affiliated individuals in motion, INTENDING for them to dish out vigilante justice on someone who had offended them with a tasteless remark.

I would also like to suggest that their response was an immediate reaction to feeling provoked. Those of us who haven’t offended them in such an emotionally charged way (but offended them nonetheless) get the slow methodical programmed type of vigilante justice that has the ability to fly under the radar.  That would be:  the oh so carefully planned and thought-out gangstalking campaign, which affords the perpetrators plausible deniablility, and the victims completely unwarranted skepticism.  (If you missed my personal story of how I offended  the California Highway Patrol, — by exercising my legal rights effectively– , you can find it here:  California Highway Patrol:  Above the Law }

Can anyone read this article and not think the police are absolutely aware of gangstalking, despite public denials, and the skepticism with which they treat victims reporting the crime?  Everything I write,  is to convince skeptics that when victims say they are being harassed by multiple strangers, … your skepticism is uninformed and close minded.  Read the article below and see if you can honestly claim that strangers would never participate in a mob-like harassment of an individual they did not know personally.  It happens, and has happened throughout history.

When it comes to gangstalking, this article makes clear that not only is law enforcement fully aware of gangstalking crimes, they participate in it, and sometimes (even at the local level) initiate it.

See what you think….

GANG STALKING, GOVERNMENT STYLE

By Remington Alessi

“I’m just another white guy who wrote something people didn’t like online,” Evan Carroll sighs as he sinks into his armchair.

This all began when the Houston Police Officer’s Union posted Carroll’s home address, phone number, and employment information on their official Facebook page, accompanied with the caption, “For all of our Kingwood officers, apparently this person is extremely anti-police.”

Visibly tired, he has already turned away countless reporters, curious neighbors, and food delivery people, the latter of whom have been sent as part of childish pranks by an army of anonymous gang stalkers, many of whom are members of local law enforcement agencies. Police and civilians alike have driven by, leering at the front of Carroll’s residence; a random person tore up his parents’ yard; threatening phone calls have come in as often as four times per minute, and countless complaints have been filed against his real estate license with every professional agency available. This is gang stalking taken to an entirely new level.

Though Facebook eventually removed the post, it was too late for the Internet to forget. A virtual invitation to gang stalk Carroll rippled through right wing channels on the internet, being shared tens of thousands of times across law enforcement pages, with a local FOX affiliate even airing his phone number on the evening news. A photo below has been edited to exclude Carroll’s personal information, but the edits are mine, and were not done by the local news team.

police gangstalking

At time of writing, neither the Houston Police Officers’ Union nor the Houston Police Department would respond for comment. One might wonder if there was a staff shortage due to members of both organizations taking time off in order to engage in gang stalking, as appears to be the case.

One might naturally wonder what Carroll could have said to set off this kind of reaction. On his own personal Facebook page, Carroll typed, “2 down, 49,000 to go. Not ‘an execution’ just a minor insurrection and a bit of humble revenge,” in response to the shooting deaths of two NYPD officers. Inflammatory as this may be, it could be interpreted as a less poetic way of conveying author Tim Wise’s sentiments on the matter: “If you treat communities like you are an occupying army don’t be surprised when folks assume you have declared war on them. And then don’t be shocked when some decide to declare war back.”

As so often is the case, this incident will most likely be used as a pretext to tighten security or otherwise add to the mission creep of the various government agencies assigned the task of protecting the shit out of us from behind every mailbox. It may be easy, at this point, to take the propaganda bait and blame the man engaging in political speech, as is so often the case. Certainly corporate media will even encourage you to do so. However, it is important to not shift the moral burden away from the army of oppressors who seek to control this country with violence and threats, because they are, as Dr. King once said, “the greatest purveyors of violence in the world today,” both then and now.

In the world of Facebook, all it took was some viral sharing by a few incensed individuals for the entire post to snowball, sparking a mob mentality and becoming a rallying cry for police from Houston all the way to New York to begin threatening to murder Carroll. Judging from the backlash Carroll has received, the participants closely resemble the police he opposes; hiding behind a lack of accountability, their responses are cowardly, crude, and childish, but they ultimately are the dying gasps of an army that has lost its legitimacy.

WordPress Hijacked my Account!

My last post was in November.  About that time I upgraded my WordPress account.  WordPress held my account hostage and would not allow me to administer my account while they tried (successfully) to hijack me for $20.00.  You might want to think twice before you upgrade your free account with WordPress.  I added a domain and canceled another $26 account within hours of purchasing the upgrade, realizing it was redundant.   Word press offers a full refund if you cancel within 48 hours.  When I canceled, I received and responded to a cancellation email and they issued a “pending” credit.   The charge remained Pending on my account, but they never actually processed the credit.  I quickly found out that  WordPress customer service is not equipped for a human to resolve disputes over financial transactions, and this wasn’t something that  could be resolved through the Support site which is basically a user forum. So, logically, unable to resolve it through WordPress, I contacted the credit card company and disputed the charge saying  the credit never got past the pending point.

Next thing I know, WordPress is holding my blog hostage and will not let me into the admin dashboard to make any changes or post anything.  They want $20.00 that they say my credit card company charged them for the dispute.  They never responded to the links I clicked on or the email I sent until about the 10th help report or email I sent.  When they finally did respond just a day or so ago, it was to reiterate that I would not be allowed back into the account until they got $20.00 from me.  Since this entire thing was their fault for not crediting the money back on a domain registration I cancelled within the appropriate time allotted, it seems very unfair.

But $20.00 was just not worth the ongoing hassle and impossibility of resolving a wrongful charge via email.  So I paid the bandits.  I’m not happy about it though.  Especially, because if I had just kept the domain name (instead of cancelling it) It would have only cost me $6.00 more than ended up paying anyway.

Still,  I think its pretty shady and my 99.00 dollar upgrade seems to have done very little for me, with the exception of the expiring domain name that I could have bought for 26.00.

 

I have not been entirely idle, I have been saving info to share with victims of gangstalking,  and those that support us.  This little WordPress  situation is no different than the kind of things gangstalking victims deal with constantly.  This doesn’t appear to be related to any gangstalking activity…. but when you are gangstalked, so much of the inconveniences, poor service, incompetence etc. that happens constantly is, in fact, deliberate and orchestrated.  That is what Organized Harassment Campaigns do.  Victims are naturally suspicious of circumstances surrounding, what I often see referred to as, life’s bad breaks that really do happen to everyone once in a while.  They just happen to victims of gangstalking  way more often, because they are planned and deliberate  bad breaks, carried out by people who will happily treat others in ways they would never want to be treated themselves.  That said… it is possible that they had a hand in this…  otherwise WordPress is what they appear to be…..Very shady.…  they took my 99.00 and held my blog hostage for 20.00 more.

I have some interesting posts planned.  Stay tuned!

Gangstalkers Are NOT Invisible!!

I don’t need to convince other victims of Gangstalking that my husband and I are stalked everywhere we go, harassed daily by numerous complete strangers or that we are under surveillance 24/7. Other victims already know all about it. We see things that other people don’t.

Raising awareness about gangstalking means helping the unaware public to see what it is, that victims see. If anyone but the targeted victim can see the harassment, gangstalking loses a lot of its power. Seeing is believing, or so the saying goes.  The reverse of that is also true.  This means people tend to resist believing in what they don’t see. The problem with this is, you look with your eyes, but you see with your brain.  Just because you don’t see my Gangstalkers harassing me right in front of you, doesn’t mean you can’t!

 

Everybody can be trained to pay attention and be more observant. That said, perception is a funny thing.   Our eyes take in vast amounts of information. The brain filters, and processes all those visual cues, as well as input from our other sensory organs.   Our amazing brains, instantaneously, sift, sort, compare, compartmentalize, organize, and prioritize those sensory cues to make sense of the world around us, orienting us in our physical space and determining appropriate responses to the current environment.  Much of this is hardwired, such as the tendency for the brain to try to find patterns in those visual cues.   Presumably the ability  to pick out a predator, camouflaged against a backdrop of jungle foliage, was a beneficial skill for our ancestors to have.   It could mean the difference between having dinner and being dinner.

If the brain perceives a threat in the proximal environment, it understandably, gives it top priority.  Sensory cues determined by the brain to be high priority, get our attention.  It is the high priority cues that become conscious thoughts; those conscious thoughts get stored in short-term memory.   Top priority events also become conscious thoughts, but they get stored in long-term memory.  This explains why unimportant or trivial events are soon forgotten, while significant events  are  retained for life.

 

What we actually see is heavily influenced by the sum of our personal experiences. How well we pay attention, and what it is that we pay attention to, are skills, and, as such, they improve with practice.   Take a minute and look at the video below.

You are asked to do a simple task: Count how many times a ball is passed back and forth, between players. Despite the fact that every pass is done right in front of you, where you can see it, people often don’t get the answer right,  because it requires undivided attention – something modern multitaskers don’t do enough of.

Turn on the volume so you can hear the instructions. Be sure to remember your score when you finish watching. 

 

 


I have an analogy to explain why two people in the same environment might not see the same thing :

Two women spend the day together at a small, but busy, public beach.
At the end of the day each woman is asked to discuss the dogs they saw during the 6 hours they spent at the beach.

The first woman has cats. She loves her cats but doesn’t have much use for dogs. She doesn’t dislike dogs but she didn’t grow up with dogs and she lives in an apartment where they aren’t allowed. Her sister’s boyfriend has a dog, but she doesn’t see it often;  that’s really the only dog she knows. When it comes to dogs, she is indifferent.

The second woman was savagely bit by a neighbor’s dog when she was five and she still has the physical scars.  She doesn’t have a dog, she is afraid of them. She knows lots of people who have dogs, but she doesn’t visit them; she wouldnt:  they have dogs.  Her entire life she has had dog lovers trying to convince her that she has nothing to fear from dogs. They go on ad nauseum about their precious pooches, showing her pictures, like they were children, or even worse, begging her to pet them or interact with them. She is definitely not indifferent to dogs.

There were 24 dogs at the off leash beach, during the six hours the women spent there. When asked to discuss the dogs they saw that day, as you might imagine, the woman give very different answers.

The first woman said she saw dogs at the beach but she can’t really remember how many or what kind. She hardly noticed them. But she does remember there was one dog that ran past their blanket, chasing after a stick. She remembers it was big but she doesn’t remember much about how it looked. What she does remember is that the guy throwing the stick was really good-looking.

The second woman not only remembers the dogs, she can describe most of them. Surprisingly, she knows the breeds of several of them. She can tell you which ones were on leash,  because, she says they were running wild.   She can describe almost all of them,  right down to their sizes and whether they obeyed their respective owners, or not. She formed opinions  about what she perceived to be the temperaments of some of the doges.    Additionally she, could practically map out  the particular spot where the dogs and their owners had set up for the day, relative to their own spot on the sand. She says there were dogs running loose, fighting with each other,  not obeying their owners and completely out of control, and that it went on  all day long.   She adds that because of the “dog problem”, she’ll never go back to that particular beach again.

There is no doubt that the same dogs and the same women were all on the beach at the same time.  But what they actually saw at the beach that day is so dissimilar that it is hard to believe they were together.

They both had the same sensory input, but they perceived it quite differently. The brain will always give priority to a perceived, implied or potential threat. Gangstalking is just such a threat. For the record, viscous dogs have far better manners than gang stalkers.  A dog does not attack out of malice.

funny-dog-gifs-imgur

Gangstalkers, on the other hand conspire, premeditate and proceed with an intent to harm another person.  There is nothing innocent or excusable about the crime of gangstalking OR the people who take part in it.

 

Before a victim is aware of any gangstalking activity, these criminals have  already been covertly stalking, observing, and collecting publicly and privately available data about their target.  They’ve already invaded their victims privacy, using available technology, regardless whether it is legal or not.

It is only after this phase that they unleash the hounds. or dupes. or rank and file gangstakers,. or cult followers, or brainwashed devotees, or hash house harassers…. or what ever you want to call  people who will leap from the toilet at a moments notice if you suddenly leave your house, so they can stalk you(That thought alone, is one of the things that makes it so satisfying to take a leisurely trip, by car around the block, one time, before going back inside.) Remember, its not the smart ones who are actually doing the following and harassing.
During the reconnaissance phase, I went about my business just like every other unaware person out there. I don’t doubt that they were there, I just didn’t see them During this covert phase they are figuring out what your personal triggers are. What is it that bugs you? Is it traffic? Is it waiting in line? Is it rude people? Is it a particular stereo type…. homeless people, people from a particular ethnic group, gays, bible thumpers, bad parents, screaming children, polititians, people who leave trash in your yard? What ever it is, that personally irritates you is fair game. The harassment is personalized and tailored to play out in a public setting where only the players know who the actors are OR even that there are actors.

Then they start to pester you; if something doesn’t get your attention, they move on to the next offensive behavior on the list. The gangstalkers in the field pass on what they learn (i.e. what works on you) and they adapt, until they have your undivided attention. There is no shortage of the rude behaviors that multiple minds on a mission to annoy, can come up with.

When you first realize people are deliberately harassing you it is upsetting and unnerving. Just like the woman bitten by the dog, Gangstalkers get your attention because they are hostile, and they are a threat. If I didn’t notice them, my brain would not doing the job of prioritizing threats and making me acutely aware of their presence, despite all the other sensory stimuli my eyes and ears are taking in. Retail stores are filled with sites, colors, sounds; every product is placed to attract your attention. The unaware person is like the first girl on the beach. The victim is like the second girl at the beach.  But the perceived threat is much more real when it deliberately seeks you out.  Unlike the gangstalkers, the dogs were not at the beach BECAUSE the woman was there.  Gangstalkers, on the other hand are at the same place you are, BECAUSE you are there.  Planning and Intent raise the stakes and increase the threat.  And what threatens us, gets our attention.

Are gang stalkers  a real threat or just perceived as one? Put it this way, when you are stalked or harassed it gets your attention, and it makes you notice things you would have overlooked in the past.  Hyper-vigilance is a hard wired survival response when threatened. Gang Stalking is no joke.

Fact based evidence, proving a Gangstalking Program is ongoing and currently active can be found at the appropriately named, gangstalkingismurder.com  The site is extremely well documented with affidavits, government responses to FOIA requests, and main stream news reports on the topic.

Gangstalking really is murder…. I’d say that’s a threat.  I will explain why I think that this is fair and appropriate assessment of actual intent behind gangstalking in another post.

The purpose of today’s post was to convince you that you do not see EVERYTHING that goes on around you. Hopefully I’ve done that… but my ultimate goal is to open eyes. I want the unaware public to see what actually goes on around me and other victims of Gangstalking.

Gang Stalking Video: Gangstalking Recruitment and Incentives

I saw so many Fake videos about Gangstalking (many of them starring my own personal cast of Stalkers — posing as victims who act like they are crazy) when I first started researching and learning about gangstalking.  I mentioned on an early blog post that I thought most of them were fake, disinformation  or just a a waste of time.

Recently I have taken another look at some of the videos that are out there.  Some of the legitimate ones still won’t mean anything to those that are not victims or perpertrators of gangstalking.  But there are others that even the uninitiated can learn something from.

I haven’t posted any videos myself, but I want to recommend one video in particular, shot by a very obviously REAL VICTIM of Gangstalking.  This victim talks to his stalkers and confronts them in an easy self-confident manner.   I think he has done a great job of exposing his Gangstalkers.    He has posted 77 videos on You Tube and goes by the name Nappy Head Roots on his You Tube Channel.

The video called Gangstalker Debriefing is particularly interesting.  He basically gets this guy to tell him about what he knows about being recruited and what motivates the gangstalkers.  It seems legitimate to me and quite plausible, given what I’ve seen with my own eyes.

He films in San Jose, which is only half an hour from me.  His Gangstalkers go to ridiculous lengths to display or wear the color Red.  This appears to be a common theme used on many victimsIt is called Color Harassment and the red (or any color) is so that a victim who is constantly harassed by people wearing red, will spot them when they are not actively and overtly harassing.  A passerby might notice that a lot of people are wearing red, but only the victim will know that they are there because he is there.  They are stalking him and want him to know it.

We have never been color harassed and the reason for it is simple:  It hasn’t worked on us.  I have been so oblivious to color harassment that after taking pictures of my stalkers one Easter (the local hash house harassers pulled stalking duty that particular holiday.)  I didn’t realize until I viewed the pics later that they were all dressed up as Pastel colored Easter Eggs.  Pathetic Huh?  But truth is, I don’t notice clothing that much even when it’s as obvious as the ugly group of Easter Stalkers, dressed to impress.  I couldn’t be impressed because I didn’t even notice until I saw the pics.

They tailor the harassment methods to the individual.  They use what works and what they can get away with in public, without the unaware public realizing they are stalking and harassing someone.

The link to all of Nappy Head Root’s You tube channel is here.  He has quite a few comments on his videos.  The video where he is being harassed by a cop in the park who seems to be working with the gangstalking crew, is also worth seeing.

Gangstalking: The Distraction of “Busy Work”

 

I know a lot of people do not believe that a large group of people would stalk someone. Do you think that before World War  Two, ANY Germans, Jews, Americans, or other Europeans would have believed that a large group of people (Educated people, Civilized People) would use their intelligence to mechanically plan, design and carry out mass exterminations of other human beings living among them? Killing the largest amount of people  in the most efficient way, was treated like a manufacturing problem, with solutions devised accordingly.  It boggles the mind…. the kinds of things that humans will overlook, participate in or promote. Don’t believe it? Check out this episode of What Would You Do? where seemingly average people shopping willingly become accomplishes to crimes from stealing a wallet,  to kidnapping a baby. The reason? A complete stranger with a fake badge approached them, telling a lie and asking for their help.  That’s all it took for almost everyone approached to become an accessory to criminal acts.  Are you the type to obey an authority figure… even when they ask you to break the law?

No truly evil conspiracy starts out in the open where everyone can see and weigh in on it. Hitler would have never come to power if he had announced his intentions early on. Hitlers rise to power was insidious. Gangstalking is Insidious. It is like a creepy, invasive, persistent evil that is palpable. It happens when something is pushing into your life and with it comes a sense of dread and trepidation about things to come. Insidious is described perfectly in an essay written by an Austrian woman about Hitler’s takeover of Austria. It is a perfect description of how quickly something evil and insidious can take hold right in front of people who either can’t see it or refuse to. You may read some things discrediting the essay, saying it is not factually accurate or politically motivated. There may be some truth to that, but by and large, it explains exactly how Hitler took Austria without firing a shot — which nobody disputes. It describes the effectiveness of Propaganda and Economic Crisis in gaining acceptance for otherwise unacceptable policy changes. Our own War on Terror is a perfect example of how change happens and the unacceptable becomes acceptable.

There is a new book out called Shadow Government. Read this interview with the author to get a feel for the way our Government is morphing into something the majority of its citizens neither want nor will ultimately recognize. The author expresses a real concern that if people do not pay attention and mobilize against it…. it may soon be too late. Distraction is one of many tools that effectively keeps a population in passive acceptance of government overreach.

Gangstalking is a great tool for distraction. It’s busy work for people who have been duped into thinking they are playing an important role.  They’ve been made to feel important, sworn to secrecy, given special perks or consideration and they have bought into it with a vengeance. Many of them really think they are secret agents working on behalf of a shadow government. They believe they are making an important difference. The illusion of being important is what keeps them busy. Busy is shopping in stores that have nothing they want to buy. Busy is waiting around for a victim to leave the house, finish shopping, finish anything…..so they can follow.  Busy is a coordinating a show of force with a headlight line up. (By the way… that is one of the things that makes targets laugh at gangstalkers ; it certainly looks like irrefutable evidence that they must be more than a couple beers short of a six-pack. )  For keeping people distracted from what’s important…. the gangstalking tool is an excellent choice. It also has the advantage of wreaking havoc on the lives of a  few, which in some cases is, no doubt, useful.   This might also explain random targets. You can’t keep Gangstalkers busy if they don’t have someone to stalk. Most victims of gangstalking have come to realize that the numbers tell the real story. This is more about the large population of gangstalkers than it is a about the relatively small number of targets.

Gang Stalking takes place in the shadows. People often ask who would waste their time gangstalking? A better question would be who would benefit by keeping people chasing their tails? Who benefits from distraction, especially distraction on a large scale?

Did any targets go as a Trojan Horse for Halloween?  It would have been a highly appropriate choice!

Stalking is a Seriously Disturbing Crime

There is nothing small or insignificant about the crime of Stalking. It is not a victimless crime. Quite the contrary; in stalking a victim is the focus of the crime.  Stalking  impacts victims in a ways that may not leave visible scars, like a physical assault, but it can be every bit as damaging. Stalking should be treated as a felony in a court of law. It is an attempt to terrorize another person and ultimately control them. It is much more than the sum of its parts. It is a campaign of aggression and hostility, which clearly demonstrates a single-minded premeditated INTENT to cause harm, and distress, severely disrupting the life of another person.  That kind of criminal behaviour is deserving of felony charges. Treating it as a misdemeanor doesn’t do it justice. Stalking wasn’t even a crime until the 1990’s and the law may need a bit longer to catch up. The stories of Stalking Victims are the best way to convey how deadly serious the crime of Stalking is.

Unless you have been gangstalked, mobbed or even relentlessly stalked and/or continually harassed by an individual, it is hard to understand how disturbing it is and how it alters your life. There is a blog written by a Colorado woman about the stalking of her teenage daughter, Morgan. Morgan’s Mother recreated the notes she had written during the months of Stalking to tell the story. It is a rare look into the absolute terror and huge psychological toll that stalking victims experience. It is a harrowing story that rivals any horror film. It starts out innocuous and unfolds day by day, as cat and mouse games slowly escalate.  As you read you can feel the palpable fear and dread that Morgan and her parents experience. No one deserves to go through what this family went through.  No one deserves to be stalked by an individual, or gangstalked by a group.

Stalking and harassment are insidious crimes. The seriousness of the crime is that it is not based on one or two acts, that may, or may not, be criminal if they were isolated incidents. It is the pervasiveness that makes it such a serious crime. People that will go to great lengths and take risks to invade the life of someone who they know want nothing to do with them,  are dangerous. Stalking takes effort. It takes dedication to continually harass someone. Being stalked is extremely disturbing. Being stalked by someone who is unknown to you is even more disturbing — and harder to prove. Gang Stalking is an nothing less than an attempt to terrorize someone. It is cruel and it is evil. If you have never been stalked or mobbed, you might think “oh a bunch of idiots follow you around…. big deal…. that wouldn’t bother me.” After you read what a single stalker did to a family in a few months…. you may be able to realize what many stalkers can do to an individual over a period of years.

Recommended Reading: This is how it feels to be watched and harassed

Many of you may have already read the excellent article published  in the New York Times more than a year ago, about Laura Poitras and her role in Edward Snowden’s big revelations.

I just read it for the first time and it is really interesting.  The part that describes the elaborate precautions Laura has taken to keep the government out of her private life are a testimony to what it is like to be under surveillance, put on a watch list without your knowledge, and to be harassed repeatedly, without ever being charged with a crime.

Gangstalking feels a lot like that.  The article captures the justified paranoia Snowden and these two journalists have of the United States.   Laura Poitras already knew what she was up against by the time Snowden contacted her; her security precautions, are one of the reasons he chose her.

When a U.S.Citizen, who becomes a whistleblower, has to be given asylum by Russia to avoid unreasonably harsh persecution by the U.S. Government, there is something really wrong,  The US Government is the one who committed the truly despicable crimes here. Their outrage over Edward Snowden’s, exposure of those crimes is a smoke screen being used to focus the public attention away from the real crimes committed against the American People by their own government.

If you haven’t previously read this article, I highly recommend it:  How Laura Poitras Helped Snowden Spill His Secrets

If you have read it, her new documentary, Citizenfour ,was just released this week, to rave reviews.
This is what it feels like to be on a government watch list.  This is what harassment feels like.  This is how it feels to be gangstalked!

Part 9: California Highway Patrol is Out of Legal Manuevers

Sorry if I made you think I had pulled another disappearing act.

I just got back from vacation. We went camping in the Sierras. Where we camp there is no cell, internet or electric service, which is very peaceful. While it doesn’t bother us a bit to do without, our gangstalkers don’t seem able to function without a cell phone. The no-service area is like a protective bubble; they don’t like to venture in too far.

Here’s a tip: if you need a break from them, try going where there is no signal or electricity. It’s peaceful and very relaxing, even if you aren’t being harassed by anybody.


 Now for the conclusion to my long-winded California Highway Patrol Story:

Part 9: The CHP is Out of Legal Manuevers, Or Are They?

At the time the Denial of the CHP Motion to Vacate was entered, I was extremely busy. I was working nights, going to school during the days, and studying in my almost non-existent “spare time”.  I was sick and tired of trying to get the CHP to pay me.  I was disgusted with a legal system and a law enforcement agency that would act so blatantly unethical.

I definitely wasn’t going to go through the same hell for the second tax return. $197.00 just wasn’t worth it.  I was newly educated on how the system works. I had learned two important things: The CHP would never make the mistake of missing a court date with me again, and I couldn’t win in court, if they did, because the outcome has nothing to do with the merits of the case. The Legal System is the CHP’s sure thing: The California Legislature, writes laws a 4th grader could see are unconstitutional. Those laws hurt us. They lend themselves to unethical and overzealous application by Law Enforcement, particularly when they amount to a financial windfall for the State or its agencies. Upholding these bad laws, you have the Judges who automatically decide in favor of the CHP, in any gray area of the law. Even worse, are those Judges who write a legal opinion to clarify a bad law, making it stronger, using assumptions that aren’t true.

I decided to give it a rest and let the current Judgement ride for a while. What I planned to do was take the CHP back to court when I had more time on my hands, and ask for interest on the Judgement. My husband got tired of waiting. though.

In April of 2011, fourteen months, after the CHP was court ordered to pay us $482.00 a series of emails and regular mail went back and forth between my Husband and the Highway Patrol:

I’m still not sure what to make of it all, so I am just going to give it to you verbatim and see what you think about it.

My husband writes:

April 26, 2011 — CHP ONLINE Complaint Form

Here is my case number: **********. On 2/19/10 the Highway Patrol was ordered by the Superior Court of California to return the amount of $417.00, + $65.00 for court fees, that was wrongfully taken from me. Then six months later John R. McDonough took me back to court to have the motion vacated and lost! Now he has made no attempt to pay me or even call.  Now I think I have waited long enough, so please give me a call and I will give you all the info:

Sincerely,

The next letter refers (I think) to an email I got from C.E. Rogers right after I made the complaint to Internal Affairs, a formal, official complaint.  I got a letter or email saying that C. E. Rogers would be seeing my complaint through to its resolution and had Assigned K. Hunter to look into the matter. This next letter that references it came almost a year later.

Enclosure

I tell you, I could not make this stuff up.

The first enclosure is on plain white paper, there is no CHP Logo or any other logo. (At some point in our year 3 years of dealing with the CHP the correspondence started coming on stationary that had a different logo- Unlike the CHP log which has a shield, the later correspondence also has a Justice Department logo (I think) that has the words LAW ENFORCEMEMT on the top and ACCREDIDATION on the Bottom It has an eagle holding and olive branch. Next to the logo it says An Internationally Accredited Agency.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY

Claim Number: SS090924

Upon Receipt of Payment of $482.00 (Four hundred eighty-two dollars and zero cents), I **************, in a joint claim with ****************, hereby agree to release and discharge the State of California, its officers, agents and employees from any and all liability arising and under the matters recited in Claim Number SS090924 now on file with the California Highway Patrol, and from any and all claims and demands which I now have or may hereafter have against the State of California, Department of California Highway Patrol or any officer, agent or employee thereof, for damages of any nature arising out of the matters alleged in my claim.

This release is freely and voluntarily entered into by the Undersigned.

Signature    _________________________        Date_____________________________

There was one Release of Liability for each of us and a document called a Payee Data Record

First of all, there was no way I was going to sign any Release of Liability. I have always been very careful about putting my signature on any document that can be construed as a contract. If you do not fully understand something ( and legal lingo is hard to understand) you better not sign it until you research or have it looked over by an attorney. Contracts I do sign,  tend to have end dates inserted, if they are missing and other types of alterations, if I feel they are needed to clarify my understanding of the terms of the contract. I also have been known to cross out lines completely. The way I felt about this contract and the Payee Data Record they asked us to fill out was that it was unnecessary. The CHP had been Court Ordered to Pay me… not Court Ordered to Pay Me only if I signed a release of liability.

The payee data record asks for an awful lot of personal information and is meant, mostly for vendors who are paid by the State.  If I filled it out we would probably have been taxed on the actual return of our tax return.  Not very fair.

We did not respond to the request to fill out and return the documents. Just 48 hours later, we got the following delivered by special courier:

May 31, 2011

File No: 008.A13845.A05397Subject: Claim Number SS090924

Dear Mr. *************and Ms. ***************:

Enclosed is a check in the amount of $482.00 in full payment of the above claim.

If you have any questions please contact Ms. Diana Bullen at (916) 843-3020.

Sincerely,

K.A. HUNTER, General Council

Commander

Office of Legal Affairs.

My only observation about the amount is that the CHP added interest to our bill when it wasn’t paid right away. They took longer to pay us and they didn’t pay us any interest. I don’t think anyone who has read my story will think that’s anything out of character for them.  The going rate of interest for Judgements in Califronia is 10% a year.  There is no doubt that they knew this (they have legal experts, remember?) when they paid us, meaning they shorted us about $60.00.  I guess that’s allowed because they are after all, above the law.

My other observation is that they didn’t wait for us to return the signed documents before sending the check. Interesting. We happily thought we were only out $197.00 and we were happy to be done with them.

That was apparently wishful thinking for someone who has crossed the CHP.

The intense, obvious surveillance began in late December, 2010 – end of January 2011, just two months after the Motion to Vacate was denied.  A man started began parking outside my front door and watching the house all day long, every day. He sometimes worked on a lap top, but it was obvious that he was watching us. In April, the intense gangstalking began and people began to follow us everywhere.

I’m actually quite glad to be done with the CHP story so I can get back into discussing my personal experiences with gangstalking.

We have certainly paid a high price for having the audacity to sue the California Highway Patrol in Small Claims Court. We have been intensely harassed, spied on and stalked ever since, even though we did nothing illegal. We just pissed off a very powerful branch of Law Enforcement. Welcome to the New America: No longer The Land of the Free

Part 8: They Lied to You in Civics Class

The Highway Patrol’s Motion to Vacate was heard in Watsonville, which lies between Santa Cruz and Monterey. I arrived early for the hearing, scheduled for 2:00pm mid-September, 2010.

 

My husband had gone alone to the original Small Claims Hearing by himself and I was here without him, this time around.  My husband was recovering from Surgery. (The screws and metal rods that were put in after the 2007 accident, had been removed the day before.)

 

The Courtroom was really nice and it kind of reminded me of a church. It wasn’t Deep but it is was really wide, with very long bench type seats that reminded me of Church Pews.

 

If the Judge granted the motion to vacate on the ridiculous grounds of Mishap, Inadvertence, Malfeasance, and failure of the CHP’s crack Legal Team to realize the importance of showing up in court after they were served, the case would be heard on the spot, as if though the original hearing had never taken place.  I was prepared to argue against the motion and to present our original case, if need be. I had fretted over this for a couple weeks feeling like the CHP, as evidenced by their behavior towards me, didn’t lose in court, very often.

 

There was no doubt they were going to show up, this time, and I wanted to be ready.  I continued to research my case.  My solution to the problem of how to win this battle was right in front of me the whole time, but it took two weeks before I realized it.

 

If you’ve read this entire story… some of you will know exactly how I’m going to play my hand here. If you’re not sure…  you probably are trying to figure it out right now.  It took me two weeks,  but  the Legal Affairs Department at the CHP, never figured it out all.  They had access to the same documents, and they had the advantage of legal expertise,  so they really have no excuse.

 

When I entered the courtroom, I took a seat off to one side and waited, watching all the  people milling about, talking, and going in and out between the lobby and the courtroom.  To support my case, I had a folder on my lap with a single  page document and two copies, one for the Judge and one for the CHP representative, if need be.

 

A man dressed in a suit comes down the long row and takes the seat right next to me. He has a briefcase which he sets on the floor between his legs. Without ever looking at me, he reaches into the case and pulls out a 3″ stack of paper that has a big band around it.  He then sets the paper on his lap where I can’t miss it.  It has my Husband’s name written in large black Sharpie across the top sheet.
The large stack of paperwork was obviously meant to intimidate me.  The only way this guy could have known who I was, or what I looked like, was to have taken the time to pull up my DMV picture before coming to court.  The CHP, isn’t much for subtlety, apparently.

 

I was not intimidated; I was secretly amused at this ploy to rattle me before we went before the Judge. I didn’t react.  Instead I kept my hands in my lap, on top of my comparably skimpy folder, containing the three sheets of paper.  I felt calm and composed.

 

We might have sat like this for 5 minutes or so while he moved around, noisily sighing and fidgeting, trying to get my attention and I continued to sit as still as possible and never acknowledged him in any way.
Finally he speaks to me:

 

“Well, You Probably figured out that I’m here representing the CHP.”

 

“Yeah, that file with My husband’s name written in huge letters, was a pretty good clue.”

 

 

 

His name was Mr. Frost, and he had a personality to match.  He was an Attorney from the CHP Legal Affairs office in Sacramento, sent by Staff Attorney, John McDonough to represent the CHP’s interests in court.  I hadn’t expected a Lawyer — in Small Claims Court, attorneys are discouraged and people typically represent themselves.  I also  hadn’t expected them to send someone from Sacramento.  I figured they would be represented by someone from the Satellite CHP office in Aptos, or maybe San Jose, at the farthest.

 

The first thought I actually had was that it was costing them more to try to have this vacated than it would have cost them to just pay me.  I tallied it up as a 330 mile round trip in a state-owned vehicle or a rental car;   Gas and at least one meal on the expense report; a minimum of 6 hours to pay Mr. Frost for his time, which I know had to be a lot more that they pay the Patrol Officers ( 73.00 / hour).

 

I was very surprised, because this seemed a foolish waste of money.  I certainly wouldn’t spend more money than it would cost me to just pay the original $482.00.  Hell, from my perspective, they really only were going to be out 65.00 for my expenses, because 417.00 of it was my original Tax Return.  Furthermore, even if they did nothing but pay me what they were ordered to, they had since intercepted another 195.00 from yet another tax return. Unless I took them back to court and won my 195.00 back, they were still going to be ahead $130.00, even if they had just paid me the original judgement.
I would be mad if someone was spending my money this foolishly… Oh Wait…. I’m a Tax Payer. THIS IS MY MONEYand yours too, if you pay taxes in California.  Our tax dollars at work for no good reason, that I can think of.

 

It obviously was NEVER about the money. They did not want to give me back my tax return and they were going to spend what ever it cost to keep them from having to do that.

This was about my challenging their authority. It was about them being above the law.  It was about them being entitled to an unfair advantage, every step of the way. It was about having all the power and having the Right to disregard my Rights.

 

They were mad and they were not going to let me get away with this, and it didn’t matter if it cost them more to keep me from winning than it cost them to be let me win. This was a power play, they wanted  to show me how little I knew, if I really thought I could beat the CHP in court.

 

Mr. Frost pulled something from his stack of papers and said:

I might as well give this to you now, the judge will make us discuss things before he hears the case anyway. So here….

 

and as he hands me the paper he says:

“this is why you are going to lose.”

 

I looked it over for a second and recognized it as the paper, that has the  legal statutes that they outrageously interpret as authorization for  CHP to collect DUI Accident Recovery Costs, without any DUI conviction.

 

I pulled a sheet of paper and handed it to him, and as I did I said :

And This is why you’re going to lose.”

 

He knew what it was within a few seconds.  And, I kid you not, the blood literally drained from his face. Then he practically ran out of the courtroom, tugging his cell phone out of his jacket pocket as he went.

 

He came back about 20 minutes later, while the Judge was explaining courtroom procedures and etiquette to the crowded room.  This time it was Mr. Frost who was staring straight ahead.

 

We were called right away., we  were sworn in and after promising to tell the truth,   I never said another word until we were out of the courtroom. Not a single word.

The conversation that took place was all between Mr. Frost and the Judge.
The Judge said:

Welcome Mr. Frost. You do realize this is Small Claims Court, Don’t You?
Yes, Your Honor
Then you know that we do things a little different here, then what you boys are used to. Did you realize that you only have 30 days to appeal a Small Claims Judgement?
Yes, your Honor, Ms. (my last name) made me aware of it just a few minutes ago.

I’ll admit, he sounded pretty defeated.

 

Then the Judge  (I do not remember his name, but I sure remember his face and is words) gave a little speech about the circumstances we found ourselves in.  I was appalled by it… I still am.

The Judge said:

I am really sorry about this…. I tried, I really did… I lost sleep over this last night…. I looked everywhere. I spent hours going through the cases, trying to find some way…. some precedence,  that would give some way…. any way at all…… that would allow me to do this for you. I want to grant your motion and Vacate the Judgement for you, but I just can’t , my hands are tied… I just don’t see any way I can do this for you.  I’d really like to help you out here, and it’s not for lack of trying on my part — Its just the law is clear on it. Small Claims is different. Please give your boss (John McDonough) my regards and tell him how sorry I am. I  wish I could have done this for him.”

 

Motion Denied/blockquote>

I paraphrased the Judges words, but its very close to what he said and it makes me sick. I had no idea. I thought Judges had to behave and act impartially. This Judge didn’t EVEN pretend to be impartial. He told a huge courtroom full of people that:

looking for a way to find in the CHP’s favor, had literally kept him up at night.

He hadn’t even heard the case.

 

Now it all becomes clear why the CHP was willing to use any grounds just to get back in front of a Judge… Maybe any Judge… or maybe they hand picked the court for this particular Judge. It doesn’t matter. (If they did it once they can do it again.)  What matters is this: The actual merits of the case are unimportant. The CHP was right, I should never have won my case.   They can mistreat you, take your money, falsify reports…. and they don’t have to face any consequences. Because those unfair laws on the books that allow them to do so many things that are clearly wrong, are upheld in court.

 

The most amazing thing, was this particular Judge wasn’t even concerned with propriety. He didn’t see any reason to hide the fact that he wasn’t impartial, or that the deck was stacked and the system rigged.  I call that ALARMING!!
IS THIS COMMON KNOWLEDGE?  Is this the way it works?  It sure isn’t what I learned in civics class, about how government is supposed to behave. It makes me sick, that this stuff goes on and they are so comfortable with it, that they don’t even try to hide it.

The MESSAGE WAS CLEAR:  The facts or merits of the case are not important.

The California Highway Patrol doesn’t just think they are above the law, they are above the law.

 

When we got to the lobby I asked Mr. Frost:

“So… NOW are you going to pay me?”

 

“Oh… haven’t you heard? The State of California’s broke… we don’t have any money.”

 

You have yourself a real nice drive back to Sacramento!

 

I have realized that you will want to know if and how I got paid.  They CHP pulled a couple more small stunts on us.  8 more months went by… and I am going to have to do one more short post to to finish the story. Sorry… I’m ready to be done with it too.

 

thank you  for reading

Part 7: CHP’s Absurd Motion to Vacate

Internal Affairs Investigates

I really didn’t expect my complaint with the CHP Internal Affairs Division to go anywhere, and it didn’t. As I said, it wasn’t organized or well thought out. I felt pushed  into making my initial complaint a Formal complaint. I  told Lieutenant Desmond that I didn’t need to make it formal,   I just wanted to collect on the Judgement.   He told me if I didn’t make  a Formal Complaint the investigation would be closed.  That would have put me back where I started, so I filled out the complaint form they sent me.
The complaint as written by Internal Affairs paraphrased my words saying that I had alleged Kelly Walker was evasive, and unprofessional during inquiries into my legal judgement. YA THINK? Just a tad more formal, than I had put it, but as they say “good enough for Government work“.
Kelly Walker was not important to me. She was merely a gate-keeper, who wasn’t quite up to the task.  It is quite possible to run interference for a boss and still come across as likeable and even helpful. See my post about the Deputy Chief at the Santa Cruz Police Department, if you want to see how its done.
Avoidance isn’t really a good tool for managing situations or people. When unable to avoid them, obvious lies are another bad choice. Yeah, I’d say she was unprofessional, allegedly!


The Unspoken Message

One odd thing I noticed was that the people in Legal Affairs and Risk Management, were noticeably hostile towards me, during many of my phone inquires. I really have a hard time understanding that. They were absolutely acting like I didn’t deserve a second of their time and like I was screwing over the Highway Patrol in general, and them personally. This seemed to be inexplicably personal to them — they were angry at me, and it showed.  This started before I contacted Internal Affairs for help.  From my point of view the hostility was misplaced and undeserved.  It’s creepy, when you think about it.
This narrow-minded way of thinking, seems central to the culture of the California Highway Patrol: They are above the law, and they resent anybody who tries to infringe on their entitlement.  How else can you explain losing a lawsuit and refusing to comply with a court order? They didn’t think I deserved to challenge their authority in court; They were angry at me for putting them in this position;  I had threatened their power and their Right to always be RIGHT.  They had no intention of rewarding or reinforcing me for this. 
There was an unspoken message conveyed through all this hostility.  I’m  fairly intuitive and my perception of the message still feels right to me, almost 5 years later.  The message was one of indignation:

“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?  HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL”

That so many employees seem to buy into and uphold this warped perception, which is so removed from the intended role of the Highway Patrol, seems strangely,  indoctrinated to me. Maybe this unquestioning loyalty (regardless of morality) is unique to law enforcement agencies (i.e. the blue line).  I thought it was very weird.


Balance of Power

The California Highway Patrol behaves in a way that is both self-serving and arrogant.  As an Agency, they seem to be unable or unwilling to hide it. The scary thing is that when Government stops hiding illegal or immoral acts, it’s because they no longer have to. They’ve consolidated enough power to do as they wish and no one can stop them. The CHP is well insulated by California’s Justice System and the Legislature. They aren’t too concerned about acting outside the law. It is a rare occasion when they are held accountable for bad acts.
Our Federal Government is headed that way. They still act embarrassed when they get caught doing something illegal, but nothing changes.  It continues and we just get used to it. Our Government is turning into the monster the Constitution tried to protect us from.  The system that was meant to check and balance Government power, has been so diluted, its impotent.

The Federal Government is currently under-checked and dangerously out of balance. The Legislature has never been more ineffective. The Judicial system is neither blind nor impartial. The Security Agencies have run amok, using secrecy to shield illegal acts and no one seems able or willing to rein them in.  The violations that have been exposed are the tip of the iceberg.

The only thing that government seems to fear at all, is a free press.  Under the Obama administration there have been extraordinary measures to muzzle those that would report or expose immoral, illegal and self-serving government activity. The free internet, whistle blowers and reporters are in the cross-hairs. 

When  a voracious non native species, with no natural enemies, is introduced into an environment it either fundamentally changes or destroys that environment and is harmful to native inhabitants. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press are natural enemies to Government Abuse of Power.  If the government is successful in its efforts to limit those freedoms, they’ve essentially vanquished their last natural enemy.  It will be harmful  to the inhabitants. We can’t let that happen.

If censorship is successful, the Feds will be just like the CHP: Arrogant, Above the Law and so insulated they don’t even have to act embarrassed when corruption, or any other bad act is exposed.
If these CHP employees think its wrong for a Judge to order their employer (large organization, with big budget)  to return money they seized from an individual, they really ought to see how it feels to be the individual whose money was seized,  bypassing the Judge altogether.  I can tell you right now… that feels like a violation and is a much better reason to be upset.
To see these employees upset when their employer is court ordered to give the money back…. ? Cry me a river.   Boo Hoo!  They had no right to be angry with me. I did everything legally and by the book. They likewise had no right to make collecting on the judgement such a nightmare.
And the delaying, the stalling, the rudeness … it’s not over yet!


Internal Affairs Concludes the Investigation

Clearly Kelly Walker was only part (and not the most important part) of my Complaint to Internal Affairs. If you missed it, you can find it here.

The letter informing me of the outcome of the investigation said they didn’t find substantial evidence to support my allegations regarding Staff Services Manager, Kelly Walker……bla bla bla.  They never even addressed the part of the complaint that had to do with the Legal Affairs Department ducking a Court Order.  Unfortunately, I was getting used to that.

But in some respects the Internal Affairs Investigation was helpful. R. Jones, a Captain in the Office of Investigation assigned K. A. Hunter, Legal Affairs Commander and supervisor to Kelly Walker to look into the matter and resolve any issues. It was through Hunter that I was FINALLY given the name and number of Staff Attorney, John McDonough.

I left him a message near the end of June or early July (I think). When he called me back on a Friday afternoon, I really wasn’t expecting to like the man.  But he was funny and charming. He made me laugh.  (A talent he should share with Kelly Walker.)

If you are the Staff Attorney for the CHP and you have to explain why your client (who is duty bound to uphold the law) is breaking the law, a little charm sure can’t hurt.


Finally, I Get Some Answers

The big question:

WHAT IS HOLDING UP PAYMENT OF MY COURT ORDERED JUDGEMENT OF $482.00?

We are looking to have the Judgement Vacated. We will be going back before the Judge on the matter.

OH REALLY…. AND ON WHAT GROUNDS?

On the Grounds we were never served.

Really? Because I paid the court $25.00 to serve you. And they gave me a receipt showing Proof of Service.

What address did you use?

Joe Farrell, Attorney General for State of California, at the AG’s Office in Sacramento.

See, you served the Attorney General. You didn’t serve the California Highway Patrol, so we didn’t ever receive it. You needed to serve us for it to be a valid service.

Well that’s funny because…. right on the State of California web site, in the section called “Small Claims Court Self Help” it says :

“IF YOU ARE SUING the California Highway Patrol,  serve them at the Office of the Attorney General. “

Then it gives the address. — The same address I had the court serve you at.

WHAT? Where is this Website…. ? Hold on let me get my legal assistant on that, and I’ll get back to you.


Motion to Vacate

The CHP Legal Affairs Department, and John McDonough, specifically, filed a Motion to Vacate the Judgement six months, TO THE DAY,  that the original judgement was filed. We were due back in court near the end of September 2010, where the Judge would hear the Motion.

The reason they gave? It was absurd.  I had a very hard time believing that such a legal maneuver could really exist or be taken seriously in a court of law.
The grounds they used to ask for the Judgement to be vacated were:  Mishap, Inadvertence,  Malfeasance, and failure to realize the importance of showing up for the hearing.

WHAT? I had no idea what that even meant, so I had to look into it

First of all, It is absurd to even suggest that the legal arm of the CHP doesn’t realize the importance of showing up in court to defend against a claim.  These people are lawyers.  Most small claims participants have no legal training at all.  When we get served, even without legal training, we know enough to realize that if we don’t go, and mount a defense, you are going to lose. It isn’t possible that this high powered legal team did not realize the importance of being served.  It is not grounds for the Judge to Vacate the original Judgement.

The combination of Mishap, Inadvertence, and Malfeasance is seldom used by an Attorney. It is the equivalent to an admission of incompetence and alludes to  deliberate wrongful action on the part of an Attorney in carrying out their duties.

This is like an Attorney, who is throwing himself on the mercy of court and pleading with the Judge: (Picture the back of a hand, pressed open to forehead with palm facing outward, blinking back big crocodile tears) Oh woe is me, Your Honor, I have made a mess of this. Please don’t allow my client to suffer for my mistakes.

As you can imagine , lawyer jokes aside… Attorneys aren’t scrambling all over themselves to fall on their own swords, calling attention to their incompetence in open court. Not that Lawyers aren’t known for altruistic behavior and self sacrifice for the benefit of their clients. John McDonough, must have been a rare lawyer indeed to make that kind of sacrifice for his poor misrepresented client, the little ‘ol CHP. In reality it was just a BS excuse to get back in front of the Judge.

Unlike most Lawyers who would never risk using this as grounds to vacate, Mr McDonough wasn’t running the risk of  being disciplined, sanctioned or disbarred by making this type of astounding admission for the record and open court.  He wasn’t even going to keep future business at bay, by telling the world he was a bad lawyer.  This was all just an excuse to put us back in front of the Judge.
Furthermore isn’t some incompetent Lawyer, poorly representing the CHP. He is on their Payroll. If he screwed up, they screwed up. He is part of the organization that is the CHP. He does not have a client who was poorly represented. He is the client. He works strictly for the CHP, representing only their interests in all legal matters. He is the Legal Face of the CHP.
The CHP has enough tax dollars to pick and choose among lawyers. They are embroiled in law suits all the time.  If our case fell through the cracks, it was because a Small Claims case meant NOTHING to them. It was insignificant. It only became significant when we won. The CHP doesn’t have to show up in court, because of the substantial hurdles a plaintiff has to get over before the court will hear their case.   It is as the Judge told my husband, when he found our paperwork in order:

“This Never Happens.”

And because nobody ever has the paperwork to prove they can legally sue, the Judge automatically dismisses the case, without any need for the CHP to be present. They don’t show up, because they don’t have to. The Judgement in our favor, was a huge surprise to them.  Apparently, with all their legal resources, they were ill-equipped to deal with Small Claims Court or a Judgement NOT in their favor.  And they were… FURIOUS.
I hope my readers are starting to get the picture of what we were up against here. If you think they have acted like bad losers and have been petty and childish so far…. I am NOT DONE.
The conclusion of this story will appear in the next post.  Things are not as they seem in California.   After I tell you what the CHP did next,  if you live in California, you’ll think they owe you some money now, too . Nobody should be spending our tax dollars this way…. If wasting our money isn’t a crime, it should be. It’s also amusing if you like your humor along the lines of WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? or Americas Dumbest Criminals, you’ll get a kick out of it.
The last post also exposes one more bad act, this one not done by the CHP.  It is , however so blatant and chilling, I think, that everything the CHP did to us, pales by comparison. The CHP, definitely doesn’t have an exclusive on behaving badly.

NOTE To Readers:
Throughout the eight posts that tell this story, I put the real names of the people who handled our case at the CHP. One of those people is almost certainly the person who submitted our name to a government watch list, knowing that it would lead to ongoing stalking, monitoring and constant harassment.  It started four years ago, and continues today.

We aren’t on this list because we are terrorists or a threat to anybody. Our crime was embarrassing the CHP and exercising our legal rights effectively. We threatened the ABOVE THE LAW status that the CHP takes for granted, and we are being punished for it, with no legal recourse.

That is the reason I write this blog,

One more thing:

I have never posted any videos of any kind. If you see a video that indicates it came from me or has anything to do with my blog Justifiably Disturbed, you can be certain that it I had nothing to do with it.  If the day comes for me to post videos, you will see them on this blog before you see them on YouTube.

The Highway Patrol Chooses to Ignore a Court Order

It is January of 2010 have completed all the preliminary steps, required and now we can legally sue the California Highway Patrol In Small Claims Court. We are filing for the return of our 2007 (filed in 2008) tax return that was intercepted by the California Franchise Tax Board on behalf of the CHP.  We paid the courts 25.00 to serve the CHP. The CHP receives service at the California Office of the Attorney General in Sacramento.

Because I had done all the preliminary paperwork, we decided that my husband would represent us in front of the Small Claims Court Judge. I did not attend.

SMALL CLAIMS COURT

I’m sure you are expecting this to be interesting… but it is decidedly anticlimactic.

When our case was called there was no one there to represent the California Highway Patrol. Usually that means a default win for the plaintiff (if the defense is a no show). When you sue a State Agency, the Judge goes through your paperwork to establish that you have that all important paper:  A Denied Claim From the State of California, which is dated no more than 6 months earlier- if you don’t, have it the Judge will dismiss the case.

When the Judge issued a default judgement for the plaintiff (us) in the amount of ($482.00) ($417.00 +$65.00 in expenses), he made an interesting comment to my husband.

The Judge said: This never happens.

The Judgement was entered on Febuary 19, 2010


Collecting The Judgement

 

I then, foolishly waited, expecting a check for $482.00 to arrive in the mail. The California Highway Patrol is an agency that upholds laws. They have been Court Ordered to pay me that amount. There is no gray area here. Although I realize that collecting Small Claims Judgements can be problematic, there is no way I thought collecting this judgement would be an issue.

I can’t emphasize this enough: I could not have been MORE wrong.

You can see my point: 482.00 shouldn’t even be a big deal to the CHP. I mean, $417.00 they already had from my tax return, and as for the $65.00? What could that possibly mean to an agency with an enormous budget that serves as the Police Force for The State of California? Come on…. this is chump change to them. Why wouldn’t they pay me?   Is it possible that Court Orders don’t apply to them?

Before I get on with the collection process, which took another trip to court and more than a year, I want to mention something that occurred around this time.

Just before we went to court we got a letter from an attorney asking us to be part of a class suit against the CHP regarding Recovery Costs related to DUI investigations. Because we had already initiated the paperwork to sue the CHP in Small Claims Court, we wrote a letter opting out of the class. That case can be found here, if you are interested. That case was initially won, and later overturned, on appeal. It is the same case (Allende) that I referenced earlier (making fun of the Judicial Opinion).

I waited (silly me) for 2 months for the check from the CHP to arrive, before I began any attempts to collect the judgement.

The best way to tell you about what I went through in an attempt to collect the $482, is to share the complaint I made to the CHP Office of Internal Affairs with you. I would like to say that I really didn’t want to make this complaint, but I had filled out an online form complaining about the lack of cooperation I was getting from my contact person at the CHP.

In response, I got a phone call asking

DO YOU WISH TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS EMPLOYEE?

I DON’T CARE ABOUT HER! WHAT I WANT IS THE MONEY THE CHP HAS BEEN COURT ORDERED TO PAY ME.

DO YOU WANT TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT OR NOT? IF YOU DO, WILL SEND YOU THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK. IF NOT, WE WILL CONSIDER THIS MATTER CLOSED.

I did not want the matter closed, I wanted it resolved. So I said FINE, send me the paperwork. My complaint, which I am going to share with you, was never really about the employee (Kelly Walker), but I had contacted Internal Affairs, (initially at the advice of the Attorney Generals Office, who also suggested I hire a lawyer) complaining about Ms. Walker, and now I had to see it through.

The bummer is, I think the IA investigation is probably the actual reason we were targeted for retaliation, via an organized harassment campaign, that I identify as Gangstalking. It could also be that the CHP was embarrassed by the way they handled everything, and they blamed us for it.

My complaint against Kelly Walker was not well thought out or organized, because though, she was the focus of the complaint, she was not the reason for it. She was just the face of the problem, and (I am sure) doing her job, exactly as expected for the culture she works in. She was rude, completely unhelpful, not unlike many people who work the private sector. It isn’t something I normally complain about; But I was frustrated and expected more from an organization that is here to SERVE (SAFETY SERVICE SECURITY), or so it says on the bottom of their stationary.


Internal Affairs Complaint

 

I was mad, and you’ll see why. Here is the IA Complaint, (with minor corrections for readability):

June 19, 2010

California Highway Patrol, Office of Internal Affairs

I would like to file a formal complaint against the California Highway Patrol Office of Legal Affairs, in general, and against employee Kelly Walker, specifically. Kelly Walker is a civilian employee working in the Legal Affairs Office, and my contact person there.

On February 19 of this year (2010) a Judgement was filed by the Superior Court of California ordering the California Highway Patrol to pay the plaintiffs (our names omitted here) $417.00 + $65.00 in expenses. The CHP had one month to appeal the decision. They did not.

Now, for some reason, I expected a State Agency, whose purpose it is, to enforce the laws of the State of California to abide by the laws of the State of California. Silly me. After the judgement was not appealed within the required 30 day period, I waited another month, (apparently foolishly), expecting a check to arrive in the mail.

I began attempting to collect on the judgement, on or about April 12th. Since that time I have spent hours of my time, money for long distance phone calls, and an additional $18.00 faxing documents to the CHP- documents that they already have, but asked me to fax anyway.

Prior to trying to collect on the judgement, I had already spent considerable time making phone calls, writing letters, filing a claim with the State of California and preparing my case against the CHP. The result of all that effort, was a judgement in my favor, ordering the CHP to pay back the money they had intercepted from my 2008 tax return.

It now appears that the CHP Office of Legal Affairs and Kelly Walker have no need or interest in following the “rules of court” in any kind of timely fashion. I have been put through the wringer in my attempt to get paid. Apparently a court order means nothing to them.

Here are the steps I have taken since the judgement was filed (Feb 19th) to try to get the money that is owed to me:

On or about April 12, I start calling various CHP departments to try to find out WHO can help me to collect on the Judgement. I call Risk Management, Legal Affairs and Accounts Payable. I only get through to operators. I leave many detailed messages on many voice mails of various people who the operators think may be able to assist me. I do this every afternoon for a week, leaving messages each day on Kelly Walker’s voice mail; I have been told she is the most likely person to be able to help me. The following week I leave a 4th or 5th message (this time with a real person) for Kelly Walker and am steered by a unknown person in the Legal Affairs Department to the voice mail of Luis (the manager, I think), in the Accounts Payable Department.

I would like to commend Luis, he is the only bright light in this fiasco. Luis returns my call on April 20th. He was the only CHP employee, who returned ANY of the dozens of messages left for various employees. Luis tells me that he would be happy to cut me a check, but it has to be approved first by the appropriate department. He tells me I need to contact Kelly Walker in Legal Affairs. I explain to him that I have already left numerous unreturned messages on her voice mail. He tells me he knows her personally and will talk to her, to see if he can find out what is holding up approval.

At this time he asks me for information about my case, and then transfers my call to Karen Martin in Risk Management. She asks me to fax her all the information about my case, including the original claim forms filed with the State of California and a copy of the judgement. I do this the same day (April 20th) and it costs me $9.00.

I wait over a week for Luis to call me back, leaving messages almost daily on Kelly Walker’s voice mail or with whoever answers the phone in the Legal Affairs Department. On May 3rd, I finally get a hold of Luis, who tells me that the only thing he has been able to find out is that the case is being reviewed by a Staff Attorney. He tells me that there is only one Staff Attorney, and he is really busy, wrapping up other important cases. He says to continue trying to contact Kelly Walker, because his hands are tied and there is nothing more he can do for me. (I stress that he has been kind and as helpful as possible, in all my dealings with him.) He ask me to refax him the same documents I sent to Karen Martin and he will go to Kelly Walker with them and TRY to expedite payment. There goes another $9.00.

Over the next two weeks I leave countless messages on Kelly Walkers voice mail. I am careful not to be rude or sound angry, but it is clear I am frustrated with her failure to return my calls. I finally call Luis back on May 17th. I get my first hint as to why I haven’t been paid. He tells me that the Legal Affairs Department does not want to pay the Judgement. They are looking into ways to get it overturned or set aside. Apparently they are not under the same time constraints as us ordinary mortals. I had to keep to a very strict statute of limitations and follow the rules of court, in taking the CHP to court in the first place. They appear to be looking for a technicality, something that I did wrong, so they can have the judgement overturned.

I was careful. I first filed a claim with The State of California, as required by law. When it was kicked to the CHP, they denied my claim. The sent a letter telling me I had 6 months from that date to file suit, which I did. I filed in the proper jurisdiction. I paid the court to serve the CHP, via certified mail, and I did it all within the statute of limitations set forth by The State of California. There is no doubt that they are obligated to pay me this amount. They have been court ordered to do so.

After my conversation with Luis, I am upset and frustrated. I speak to a Legal Aide Attorney, here in Santa Cruz. who informs me that she can’t help me, unless I can find a cash till, where the CHP takes in cash payments. My court order would entitle me to seize the money owed me. This is how it is done in the private sector.

I fire off a letter, complaining about the situation to the Attorney Generals Office. They tell me that they can’t work on my behalf because they represent the CHP in legal matters. They tell me I should get legal representation and contact Internal Affairs for the CHP.

On or about May 21st, I call the CHP Internal Affairs Office and complain about Kelly Walker holding up my payment and not once returning my phone calls. Not even five minutes after I get off the phone, an amazing thing happens. The phone rings and it is Kelly Walker. She is nice and solicitous.

We talk for 20 minutes, basically, her asking me questions. She says she will look into the matter and give me a call in the early part of the following week. I wait the entire next week for her to call, as promised, and she never does.

.

The week after that, I leave detailed messages, on Kelly Walker’s voice mail every day, clearly frustrated with her.  On Friday of that week she picks up her phone. Apparently she was expecting somebody else and picked up the phone by accident. She then pretends that she has no idea who I am. She says she deals with lots of cases, but is not familiar with mine and she doesn’t have the records in front of her at the moment. She doesn’t have time to pull them right now, Do I want to leave my name and number?

She is flat out lying. She knows EXACTLY who I am. I am certain she would never have answered her phone, if she knew it was me. She says she doesn’t recollect the 20 minute conversation, 2 weeks earlier when (prodded by internal affairs— I’m sure that doesn’t happen every day) she promise me she would look into my case and call me back with answers.

The conversation went like this:

You promised to call me back after you looked over the paperwork regarding my Judgement and call to and tell me what is holding up the payment.

The matter is being reviewed by a Staff Attorney, who is out of the office right now. (I guess she does know who I am, after all)

When is this going to happen?

I don’t know right now. I don’t have a time frame and I’m not familiar with the details (she forgot who I am again)

Can you please just give me the name and number for the Staff Attorney who is reviewing the Judgement, since they are apparently the person who can answer my questions.

I can’t do that. It wouldn’t do you any good anyway. They aren’t in the office and they aren’t available right now.

I would still like the name and number so I can leave a message for this anonymous person.

At this point Ms. Walker gets a bit nasty and superior sounding, like she is talking to a small child who doesn’t understand what the word “NO” means. She explains slowly, (like I am an idiot) :

I will not give you the name and number. You need to ask all your questions and get all your answers through me. I am your contact person.

Well, for a contact person, you have been close to impossible to contact and you don’t have any answers, anyway.  I would really like the name of the person who does have those answers or who is just a little more accessible.

We will notify you when a decision is made.

And when will that be?

(Sounding exasperated again, and speaking very slowly, like I am an idiot who can’t grasp simple concepts)

Whenever they decide.

So there is no time frame? They can take as long as they want to decide whether they will or will not comply with a court order?

(SNAPPING, Now) Not forever, just as long as it takes. We will notify you.

Will that be by mail or phone?

I’m not sure.

The one thing I’m sure of, at this point, is that this conversation is going nowhere. Ms. Kelly Walker has no intention of helping me . She was condescending, rude and made it clear to me that she felt she did not owe me an explanation for anything.

And if you don’t think that I have already been through enough, I was notified on May 15 that a portion of another tax return (2009 this time) had been Intercepted by the CHP. And guess what? This was done without any court order when I don’t owe them a dime, I never did, and neither does my husband. There is no doubt in my mind that this INTERCEPTION, without a judgement is unconstitutional and needs to be challenged in the courts.

Isn’t it Ironic that I have a court order saying they me owe me money, and I can’t collect. They don’t have a court order and they can. How wrong is that? The CHP owes me money, not the other way around!

I am asking Internal Affairs to resolve this situation, or tell me how to resolve it myself. It has been more than a year since they took my 2008 tax return and more than 4 months since they were ordered to return it.

Stay Tuned… the fun isn’t over.  Next Post I finally hear from the CHP Staff Attorney, who explains what is holding up the payment.

Gangstalking and the CalGang Database are too similar to be unrelated

I spend  quite a bit of time doing on line research about topics that interest me.  Gangstalking would interest me, even if I wasn’t a victim.  I explained the complexities of a the crime in my very first post.  The same post also explains some of the more fascinating known and unknown aspects of the crime.  You can read it here, if you missed it.

I prefer the term Gangstalking over the term Gang Stalking.  The reason, that I do this (and I would encourage other people writing about the topic, to do the same) is because it works as an automatic filter for Search Engines.  When You look for the term Gangstalking, you are always going to find On Topic,Information or Disinformation.  If you put Gang Stalking and do not put quotes around it (i.e. “Gang Stalking”) you end up with much less specific results:  In particular everything that has to do with Street Gangs or any one of seven other types of Stalking behavior flood your results.  Gangstalking is specific and results oriented.

I know people use different terms when describing gangstalking.  I like the term Organized Harassment and Covert Harassment, but they are subject to the same scattered results.. If you put harassment in the search engine, your results are heavily populated with unrelated sexual harassment info.  Gangstalking works best for narrowing searches to our topic.

The term gangstalking also always seemed so appropriate to me.  It describes the behavior of the large group of cult members that stalk us perfectly.I have never known where the name originated.  I assumed that it described the situation so perfectly, that once said, it stuck.

I learned something new tonight that has has made me rethink where the term Gangstalking  originated.  I always thought gangstalking had nothing to do with the street gangs, that people are familiar with.   But, I think it is possible that the term originated  with  the Gang Abatement Program in California.

I’ve put a link to a PDF File from The YOUTH JUSTICE COALITION.  This is an awesome document, easy to read and understand.  It describes the secret law enforcement lists and civil rights violations that are part of the CALGANG enforcement strategy.  The similarities to that state program and the way our gangstalking is orchestrated, are uncanny.

The CALGANG Task FORCE uses secret lists that target gang members without anything that resembles constitutional protections.  If you make the list,  (and you don’t need to have ever committed a crime to be on it) then you are tracked, trapped, and then subjected to extra harsh treatment by the courts, under Gang Enhancement statutes.   The lists are secret and you are never told you are on them and have no way of removing yourself from them.  Being on the list impacts every aspect of a persons life.

Read the PDF. They have to be related.  Let me know, if you agree with me.   If you do, this could be a breakthrough for members of the TI community.  It would demonstrate that government keeps secret domestic lists that are in violation of our rights.  CALGANG DATABASES, NO FLY LISTS, TERRORIST WATCH LISTS….. etc…  Being able to show a link would help our cause and convince the undecided that our situation is government sponsored.   What other secret lists is law enforcement working from?  What list are we on?

This PDF file contains one more gem for us.  The information about the CALGANG Database is secret.  They don’t tell you who is on the list.  The investigators who got this information have included the information of how they were able to get access to the information contained in the report.  They encourage research and transparency and they actually have a guide to teach the public how to access and research this type of information
