“Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom; and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding.” —Proverbs 4:7

How should we feel about neighbors and others who actively participate in the psychological aggression of group stalking? Sometimes a bit of insight helps us to avoid the anger that comes with a purely emotional response when under attack. I have talked to a number of those stalking me over the years. I can strike up a conversation very easily and never exhibit hostility. They quickly sense that I am good natured and not looking to harm them in any way. Of course, they will not talk about what they do, But many will hold a conversation. I honestly believe that most persons who operate at the lowest rung of these schemes have no clue what they are a part of. They have been seduced into believing they are doing something good and lawful and are largely ignorant of the full picture.

I spoke with one “stalker” today who apparently had the task of keeping me under surveillance as I cleaned my car at my local car wash. I came up to him with a big smile. “Have you ever observed how neighbors have lost all concern for each other?” I asked. “They will sneak around in the hope of catching their neighbors in some small mistake. In spite of that, I always make the effort to greet those around me because as a Christian I must show love for neighbor. If I do not love my neighbor and do good for others, then I am not really a Christian.” I added.

Weill I consider myself a good Catholic,” he replied. I could tell that he got the point I was trying to make.  “Well, it is always good to meet someone who has a belief in God, we need more of that,” I said with a smile. How do you think Jesus would treat his neighbors if he were alive today? Would he sneak around looking for something to condemn them or would he try his best to help his neighbor?” The fellow looked at me and smiled. Then he said “I must respect you for the way you approached me and what you said.” At that point, we started discussing my car (I had a for sale sign on it) and the economy and had a pleasant conversation that lasted for another five minutes or so. We both left the conversation smiling.

That sort of conversation tells me alot about most of the people involved in group or gang stalking at the lowest level. They are not demons but are largely deceived or blissfully ignorant of both the victims they track and what is being done to them. Many of them are clearly “working poor” who are getting a very modest sum for what they do. Many have no emotional involvement, it is just a way to supplement income.

However, I have also spoken to a few of the higher ranked individuals who are contracted or employed by the covert agencies developing these schemes. More often than not, their arrogance and condescension is palpable. To them, we are little more than guinea pigs or criminals whose lives have no value. Yet, it must be said that even in this group, I have seen glimpses of genuine humanity. However, what can they do? They must be under enormous pressure to remain loyal to the covert organizations that employ them, and could well suffer swift retaliation if they are perceived as “whistleblowers.”

Doing some research on the history of secret societies helped me to understand better how these schemes operate. Historically, in most secret societies, the darkest secrets of the group are held only by those at the highest levels. Those at the lowest levels must rise in the ranks, and prove themselves worthy of gaining access to more power and knowledge. I see that basic principle at work in “gang stalking” as well. Those at the lowest level are not privy to all that the organization is doing or why. They may even be deceived regarding the true nature of the organizations they support.  This has helped me to view those at the lowest levels with a bit more understanding. They are in some ways also victims who are manipulated.

I do not consider it my role to retaliate against my persecutors. As a Christian, I want to be a force for love and peace even in the face of injustice and suffering. Of course, that becomes a real challenge in the face of constant psychological attacks and covert torture. However, I am determined to reflect The Christ’s loving, gracious disposition under all circumstances. He is my leader, and set the perfect example for me to follow in this regard.

“. . . Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely . . . When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously.” —1 Peter 2:21

 peace despite suffering

I am about to face some of the most difficult days since the adversity thrust upon me in the form of directed energy weapons torture and coordinated psychological attacks began. I face a foe, that, on my own I cannot fight. As I navigate through the various adversities caused by covert Federal agencies , and face the prospect of losing income, home, and financial stability, some may wonder how I am able to cope; especially after eleven years of continuous psychological and physical attacks! Quite well, thank you!

Even now, as I face the myriad of challenges imposed upon me, I am calm. Not just outwardly, but with an inner calm that allows me to face adversity without lost temper, bitterness, rage or despair. I can only attribute this extraordinary calm under pressure to my Heavenly Father, Jehovah God.

You may ask, ‘How does God comfort us and give us the courage to bear our pain?’ He does so mainly through his Word, the Bible, and through the gift of prayer. Paul tells us that God lovingly gives us His Word so that “through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.” Additionally, through heartfelt prayers, we can come to experience “the peace of God that excels all thought.”—Romans 15:4; Philippians 4:7.

The Bible writer David said that during his time of great anxiety and isolation, consolations from the scriptures “fondled his soul.” Just as a mother’s touch and soothing words can calm a crying child, the scriptures can calm our troubled heart. I can personally attest to the consoling power of the scriptures! Reading the Bible is a wonderful way to calm anxiety and focus on healthy thoughts. In addition, we can receive “the peace of God,” through prayer, a calmness that protects the mind and heart. This “peace” is a tranquility from God that enables us to continue to think and act wisely, without being overwhelmed by troubling thoughts. It also protects our physical health from the ravages of distress. It “excels all thought” in that we are helped to cope with any distress, no matter how troubling. From personal experience, I say: That peace is real!  It allows me to endure present woes with a calmness that puzzles my persecutors.

These gifts that God gives has enabled me to bear up, not matter what the challenge! Paul says that God “comforts us in all our tribulation.” (2 Corinthians 1:4) No matter what pressure, anguish, or suffering we may experience, God can give us the necessary courage and strength to bear up. Is that not reassuring? So with all I endure, the very best part of my story is meeting these hardships successfully in the comfort and courage that only Jehovah God can provide.

Addendum: The Need for Calmness and Good Manners

It appears that a primary objective of the adversity thrust upon me is to force me to abandon civility, control, and good manners. Therefore, maintaining calmness  and composure is not merely desirable, it is critical to my survival. A help in this regard is maintaining a positive view of people. I look for the good even in those employed in the harassment against me, and treat all with good manners. By dignifying others, I dignify myself. Doing so neutralizes much of the psychological warfare employed against me. It is the most emotionally healthy way of coping with the ill treatment of others. Responding to ridicule and humiliation with respect is also a powerful way to teach by example.

As human society continues its inexorable moral decline and is stripped of even the normal fellow feeling and neighborliness that holds civilization together; a dark cruelty takes its place. We don’t like to admit that. We want to be viewed as civilized and enlightened even as unbridled cruelty pulses just beneath our thin veneer of respectability. Life has lost its value. As that occurs, anyone who is viewed as less than a peer becomes a potential target. They become less than human.

Such is the spirit behind gang-stalking. The gang-stalkers feels protected by their collective and exercises their disdain for any considered unsuitable of membership. That same spirit can also be seen in the rise of a new type of crime formerly nonexistent in our culture. There is a deeply disturbing article on the nationwide rise in violent, unprovoked attacks on the homeless in The New York Times of August 8, 2008, entitled “Attacks on Homeless Bring Push on Hate Crime Laws.

According to the article, there is an alarming rise in unprovoked attacks upon homeless people by working class men and teenagers. This fast rising trend has moved some states to consider legislation declaring them hate crimes. “The assailants are outsiders (not homeless): men or in most cases teenage boys who punch, kick, shoot or set afire people living on the streets, frequently killing them, simply for the sport of it, their victims all but invisible to society.”

Michael Stoops, Executive Director, National Coalition for the Homeless, said social prejudices were “dehumanizing” the homeless and condoning hostile treatment. He pointed to a blurb titled “Hunt the Homeless” in the current issue of Maxim, a popular men’s magazine. It spotlights a coming “hobo convention” in Iowa and says: “Kill one for fun. We’re 87 percent sure it’s legal.”

When you dehumanize a group or individual it is quite easy to justify any act of violence against them. It becomes sport. That is the spirit of gangstalking at its heart. Gangstalking is an exercise of social prejudice that uses psychological aggression as a form of hostility. It will decline into open physical aggression soon enough. That is, after all, where human society is heading.

“But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God . . . 2 Timothy 3:1-4
