Privacy and Government Surveillance

Privacy is guaranteed under the California Constitution – including the right to be free from unwarranted government surveillance. Individuals, not the government or corporations, should determine how and when other people can access our personal information.

How do gang stalkers track you? Police and Fusion Centers use SOCMINT and your social media to monitor you.

Community policing aka gang stalking, has created a lawless country where targeted speakers are harassed and defamed, stalked and violated in ways that defy due process and the Constitution. This blog seeks to fix that.

From the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU):

Police Use of Social Media Surveillance Software is Escalating, and Activists are in the Digital Crosshairs

By: Nicole A. Ozer
Map of California, with dots marking the areas where local law enforcement has acquired social media monitoring software

It goes without saying that speaking out against police violence or government overreach shouldn’t land you in a surveillance database. But it can, and it does.

The ACLU of California has received thousands of pages of public records revealing that law enforcement agencies across the state are secretly acquiring social media spying software that can sweep activists into a web of digital surveillance.

This set of public records requests is part of our ongoing work with community groups to shine a light on surveillance technologies and call for community control in decision-making around policing. Last year, we worked with local activists in Fresno to reveal that its police department was using a MediaSonar social media surveillance tool that boasted the capacity to identify so-called “threats to public safety” by monitoring hashtags such as #BlackLivesMatter, #DontShoot, #ImUnarmed, #PoliceBrutality, and #ItsTimeforChange.

But we had a hunch that Fresno was not an isolated case.

So this summer, we requested records from 63 police departments, sheriffs, and district attorneys across California. And what we learned from the documents was alarming.

Of the responses we’ve received, 40% of the agencies (20 in total) have acquired social networking surveillance tools — many of them in the last year.

We found no evidence in the documents of any public notice, debate, community input, or lawmaker vote about use of this invasive surveillance.

And no agency produced a use policy that would limit how the tools were used and help protect civil rights and civil liberties.

The utter lack of transparency, accountability, and oversight is particularly troubling because social media surveillance software used by California law enforcement — tools like MediaSonarX1 Social Discovery, and Geofeedia — are powerful. And our records from Fresno and several other communities reveal that some have been marketed in ways to target protesters.

Our records show that Geofeedia’s marketing materials, for instance, refer to unions and activist groups as “overt threats,” and suggest the product can be used in ways that target activists of color. At least 13 California law enforcement agencies have used or acquired Geofeedia.

In one exchange with law enforcement, a company representative suggested to San Jose Police that they should use the product to surveil the “Ferguson situation,” even though the city is roughly 2,000 miles from Ferguson, Missouri. San Jose Police did in fact use Geofeedia software to monitor South Asian, Muslim, and Sikh protesters only a few days after acquiring it.

An email to the San Diego Sheriff touts a “collection” of social media content curated by Geofeedia following the non-indictment of Darren Wilson.

And yet another promotional email invites the Los Angeles District Attorney to learn how Baltimore used the software to monitor and “stay one step ahead of the rioters” after the police killing of Freddie Gray.

Law enforcement should not be using tools that treat protesters like enemies.

The racist implications of social media surveillance technology are not surprising. We know that when law enforcement gets to conceal the use of surveillance technology, they also get to conceal its misuse. Discriminatory policing that targets communities of color is unacceptable — and secretive, sophisticated surveillance technologies supersize the impact of racial profiling and abuse.

The good news is that we’ve seen that when surveillance is forced into the light, communities have the power to call out racist policing practices and stop discriminatory surveillance in its tracks.

Remember Fresno? Armed with proof of Fresno’s social media surveillance experiment, a diverse coalition of local activistsknown as Faith in the Valley successfully mobilized and organized to pressure the police to roll back their social media surveillance program. The community is now pushing to pass a surveillance technology ordinance to make sure all surveillance technologies are publicly debated.

In Oakland, community members organized against plans to build an expansive Domain Awareness Center that would have collected and stored hundreds of terabytes of data on Oakland residents. Now Oakland has a Privacy Commission that advises the City Council on surveillance decisions and is currently drafting a surveillance technology ordinance.

And in Santa Clara County, right in the heart of Silicon Valley, a diverse coalition successfully organized against plans to buy a Stingray cell phone tracker and then worked to enact a comprehensive surveillance technology ordinance that requires transparency, accountability, and oversight for all surveillance technologies.

In this spirit, a powerful coalition of national organizations is launching a multi-city legislative initiative, Community Control Over Police Surveillance (CCOPS), to introduce more local laws to bring transparency and community control to the acquisition and use of local police surveillance technologies.

Here in California, community members are working in Palo Alto, Fresno, Oakland, Berkeley, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz to ensure that similar laws are introduced in their cities.

Whether it’s social networking surveillance, stingrays, or something else we haven’t heard of yet — it’s time to push secret surveillance into the light.

We have the power to stop discriminatory surveillance and put control where it belongs — in the hands of the community.

What is the Domestic Violence Industrial Complex, and who pays for it?

The Domestic Violence Industrial Complex is a privacy raping gray area policing scheme, a dismal failure at protecting rights, or children, or anyone else, and it’s a well-oiled tax-dollar sucking vampire.

Martin S. Fiebert of California State University Long Beach has been telling us that all along, but -for some reason-no one wants to note that women’s assaults on their spouses and partners occur more frequently.

Why is that? My guess is this privacy raping, domestic violence waging boondoggle that we now know as a full blown police and surveillance state that targets us all now is very profitable to some people, and not helping We The People one bit. And, sometimes, vampires NEED a kick in the teeth-I know this from personal experience (see my ‘who is the author of ROGS’ section).

Here, below we see a woman murdering her kids, her kids father, and that fathers girlfriend, because-as we have known forever-some women who entrap men in baby scams are themselves psychopaths. And-for some reason- the DVIC has overlooked this since, well, forever. Which bears out one part of my thesis, which is that some in the system are purely profiteering from children, exploiting human relationships, and all of that under the guise and the appearance of “protecting the children.”

So at the end of this particular story below, a story about the oppressed girl next door, Jessica Edens, whose womanly frailty and “patriarchal oppressed” life caused her to murder her kids and two others, we can see wh the real “winners” are:

THE SCORECARD:

DVIC: $72 billion or more per year for MRAPs parked in front of Ye Olden Tymes Donut Shoppe, or any Starbucks during break-which occurs all across America at noon, four p.m., 8-8-30 p.m., 10 p.m., etc. Added bonus round: the DVIC lawyers got paid in the custody fight, the cops got paid for the restraining orders, paperwork, associated costs. And the psychologists and other’s at the “Fusion Center” somehow missed this act of “domestic terrorism.”

We The People: minus three more children, one father, and a woman who probably wasn’t a psychopath.

Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) plus one more at plus/minus $40K per bed, per year.

Mom’s Gone Mad:

“On July 13, Jessica Edens stole a .40 caliber handgun from her parents’ house, drove to the apartment complex where her husband lives and shot and killed Meredith Rahme, his coworker and alleged girlfriend. Afterward, she drove off and called her husband once before shooting and killing their 5-year-old daughter, Harper, and her 9-year-old son, Hayden, in the back of her Jeep.

She then called him again to say, “Everyone you love is gone. Do you hear me? I’m about to be gone too” before turning the gun on herself. Police have indicated that she wanted revenge after a bitter custody battle with her husband, and her suicide notes appear to confirm that theory.

RELATED: Text messages reveal the chilling reason why a mom killed her children and herself

In the note left for her husband Benjamin, Edens wrote, “You have caused me more pain [than] I’ve ever been in in my life. You have caused my children pain. I hope you rot one day for what you have done to me and my kids … I hope you live with pain and shame and guilt for the rest of your life.”

The thing about gang stalking though, is that it is largely non-partisan, and wholly fascist. Even feminists get gang stalked. And Jews, and Catholics; Roma gypsies and others.

And in this light, the case of Seana Sperling-a woman who is being gang stalked in the “progressive” state of Oregaon stands out as interesting, as does the well known case of Rachel Orban, who is being gang stalked in Boston MA (and it is important to note that those who raise awareness about gang stalking in Massachusets are villified BY THE POLICE, and stalked as thought criminals, as in this case here).

Here, below, Ms. Sperling-who is one of those many “rape is everywhere” types, claims she is being gang stalked. Possibly it is because she has a Jewish sounding name(….) and possibly it is because she is a Roma gypsy(….). But also, like many white women such as Rachel Dolezal, the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(NAACP), she is white, and psychologically deluded into believing she is not. Among white females, the phenomenon of being a “shiksa” also carries with it the weight of being whatever other ethnicity competes against it, as the white female is forever in distress.

Then, she goes on to blame the right wing of politics, and indcates that like so many so-called feminist cause based stalkings, derived from the ADL or Jewish Federation and “progressive” type slander campaigns, it could go either way. These organizations are snout-deep in all of the federal dollars that the DVIC slurps up every year, and they are right there at the front of the massive crisis PR industry as well, that continues to manufacture crisis after crisis that only they benefit from, snout deep in the trough.

While Ms. Sperling is quick to accuse the right wing, she misses the opportunity to ask the question “what do Jewish and Progressive groups, and then, he “umbrella” of “human rights” groups that masquerade as do-gooniks do with the money that the Department of Homeland Security grant them every year” as these groups get between 94 and 97 percent of every dollar that the DHS ‘spends’ on dealing with the ever morphing and nebulous ‘security threats’ that theey-for some reason- are always under.

While this is on the surface it seems a necessary and decent use of such black budget funds, it is interesting to note that in the long history of America,  most if not ALL Swastika hoaxes and ‘bomb threats’ are perpetrated BY Jews ON other Jews, and that the famous ACLU case of defending Nazi’s right to free speech was a case that involved one of the many Jewish Nazi’s- Frank Collin, the famous “Nazi” of Skokie Illinois; whereas tens of thousands of other American’s are mercilessly and brutally slandered, maligned, stalked, beaten, or murdered every year. So much like shiksa’s masquerading as the treasured house slaves of the Khazarian’s, we see Frank Collin masquerading as a racist in order to keep the forever-in-crisis narrative alive.

Let me know when and if you start seeing patterns, as ‘irrational’ fears or obsessions with patterns can indicate delusional thinking. And worse, those who take action against others due to these irrational fears are certainly clinical, if not outright sociopathological.

Blood money, blood libel, black budgets, and Seana Sperling’s complaint-she writes about ritual defamation, or Zigeunernacht, the “Night of the Gypsies”? You decide.

The Vilification Industry and the Surveillance State, by Seana Sperling

:

Being under surveillance and the slander that accompanies these lists, can wreak havoc with your career and your life as I have found out. If you apply for a job, the watch team will contact the prospective employer claiming you are under investigation for something, and you will not hear back. If the prospective employer does an Internet search of your name and finds a false Police Report or false Police Record they will not call back. If you go for an eye exam, go for a haircut, the snitch groups will call them up, thus you will be treated badly.

I found a false Police Record under my name on http://www.instantcheckmate.com. This website claims to have “Real Records,” but is a con. I have no record and I am not a criminal, terrorist, pervert or whatever. I clicked on my name and at the top of the page that opened read: “CAUTION: This background report is very graphic. We do not censor our reports. We trust you to use this information responsibly. Please do not abuse this tool, or we could be forced to take it offline. The content of the report might shock you, so please prepare for the unexpected.” I paid the $9.95 to see what I was being accused of this time. There was no record. I contacted the site and threatened litigation and they took the slander down the next day. I called City Hall Records and said I was finding things online about some sort of Police Record and they confirmed that they had nothing negative about me.

Organized gang stalking and pedophiles and sexual morality campaigns

Gang stalking and pedophiles and sex crime’s units

One of the odd paradoxes of our times is that of sexual morality campaigns, wage the outright deception and social deviance of those who wage them. As we see, the stigmatizing label of “pedophile” is one of the main features of OGS complaints.

Mental health professionals, social workers, psychiatrists and criminal defense lawyers will note that police investigations by their nature are invasive and often, the investigators must reveal certain information to people who are being interviewed as witnesses, or as potential witnesses to alleged crimes.

And, the researcher of organized gang stalking will find that in nearly every single blog and accessory media that discusses OGS, the phrase “the gang stalkers will tell your neighbors you are a drug dealer, a prostitute, a pedophile,” etc.

And while nearly all claims of gang stalking reference, or involve these exact claims, there is one marked difference: the claimants note that these allegations go far beyond ‘investigatory’ and are in fact and practice, defamatory.  And likely, ritual defamation, considering how involved the ADL is with modern policing and Israelification.

It is from this that the larger body of TI claims draw their validity-that the targets often report that they have been slandered, and that whisper campaigns are waged behind their backs.

Worse, these whisper campaigns are designed to destroy individuals that LEO’s cannot prosecute due to lack of evidence, or cannot prosecute because the information they are investigating is the product of the vast illegal warrantless surveillance that all Americans are subjected to.

In fact, it was found that the FBI flagrantly violated the constitutional protections of due process some 40,000 times between 9/11, 2001 and 2011 alone.

• Evidence of delays of 2.5 years, on average, between the occurrence of a violation and its eventual reporting to the Intelligence Oversight Board

• Reports of serious misconduct by FBI agents including lying in declarations to courts, using improper evidence to obtain grand jury subpoenas, and accessing password-protected files without a warrant

This practice of defamation is beyond due process, and against equal protection under the law, or even the presumption of innocence. And that is by design, as OGS is a form of ritual defamation, practiced by nearly all LEO’s across the country, and those, affiliated with secret societies, masonic orders, and occult practice by definition of the occult, and, unsurprisingly, a large number of pedophiles work in policing and work with related “social service” industries.

Worse, as pertains to the smears that affect a persons sexuality and can drive some to the point of madness (Omar Mateen, the Florida night club shooter was widely believed to have been smeared as a homosexual-and, the FBI was in contact with him multiple times over a three year period) allows many sworn LEO’s and other social gatekeepers are themselves pedophiles and predators-child abusers and pimps:

Virginia police have a warrant to take photos of a teenage boy’s erect penis
“We just take him down to the hospital, give him a shot and then take the pictures that we need,” an official said.

Law enforcement officials in Manassas, Va. have come up with a truly creative way to combat the dissemination of child pornography: create more child pornography for comparison! Their first subject could be 17-year-old Manassas

City resident Trey Simms, who faces two felony charges for allegedly sexting his 15-year-old girlfriend.

Prosecutors intend to prove Simms’s guilt by forcing him to provide police with photos of his erect penis, for which a judge actually granted a search warrant (!).

The only problem there is this little detail: the sex crimes officer in charge of this case was himself a pervert and a pedophile, who later killed himself when he was discovered:

A Virginia police officer whose job was to investigate online sex crimes against children committed suicide Tuesday

– moments before he was to be arrested for online sex crimes against children.

Manassas police officer David Edward Abbott, Jr. was the same cop who made  headlines last year when he tried to take photos of a 17-year-old boy’s erect penis for what he claimed was investigative purposes.

A year before that, he won an award for “integrity in investigative work.”

The detective was about to be arrested for having inappropriate relations with two boys, ages 11 and 13, when he killed himself.

And cops who are rapists, pedophiles, child pornographers and more are far more common than you might think-between 2009-and they get sentenced far more leniently than any other pedophile.

Gang stalking and punitive psychology: technology abuse meets bad government policy

Organized stalking is  symptom of a mental disease alright- the creeping institutional psychopathology of America’s encroaching police and military state. And it’s also a social disease, where victims who have not been targeted mock, or deride the claims of those who have been targeted. What do you call a world where the torturers mock their victims, or a world where psychologists work with the FBI as informants against the interests of patients who have endured hidden abuses?

Between the massive fraud waste and abuse at today’s NSA, which targets individuals with chronic and pervasive surveillance, and targets whistle blowers, and then feeds the interactions between these people to the many other alphabet agencies that use NSA data to then follow, wiretap, and target American citizens, democracy is on a precipice like never before in history.And it doesn’t help that psychology is politicized and allied with torture and abuse, as government seeks to eradicate privacy by outright lying and bullying the nation with one false paradox after another; and the silencing of those who believe that privacy is an important personal right; and perhaps the seat of healing itself?

Never in history has there been a bigger invasion of institutions of healing. Well-there WAS MKULTRA, which set the template of course. And once upon a time some psychiatrists, medical doctors and psychologists still had a conscience, and took a stand against punitive psychology. Meet Dr. Moss David Posner, draft resistor, prison doctor and prisoners advocate, who counseled targeted individuals and who was one himself.

So, maybe ONE other period of history- the Stalin era of the Soviet USSR, a time when psychologists diagnosed the complaints of those who were victims of gulags, and victims of chronic and pervasive surveillance and its subsidiary harassment as “mental illness.”

The term for the political use of psychiatry is well known: the Stalin era of punitive psychology.

One other era of history saw psychiatrists and psychologists abuse the practice and principles, as they colluded with military and CIA funded psychiatrists. And what they are doing today torturing people and mind controlling them a Guantanamo is also well documented as exactly that. So, political abuse of psychiatry is a real thing, as we see at Guantanamo, and in the Martha Mitchell effect.

But also-quite unsurprisingly- psychologists even recently ganged up and wrote a letter calling President Donald Trump a nutter. I mean-the irony meter is probably broken at this point over the “what is organized stalking” but this was just too much. And guess where that letter which featured psychiatrists who HAVE NEVER MET Trump, calling him all kinds of high falutin’ names straight out of the DSM-IV?

Yup-at the New Yarwk Times, the same paper that carried the accolades heralding the enshrinement of the David V. James and Lorraine Sheridan study as an “authoritative” document. I mean- go ahead and make my case for me if you want to, I will be glad to examine your claims, but most outside the echo chamber of psychiatry and psychology-and that which sucks the teats of the DVIC, are insular, incestuous, and single focused, as psychology is proven to be little more politicized sociology with a drug prescription to sell.

While applied-psychology once showed promise as a helping tool, today psychology as junk science or pseudo-science is very well documented, and it stymies any rational person that any president or political figure could condone torture, but they do, right here in America. And, psychologists have colluded with that, too, regardless of whether the president was a controlled asset or not. SO, this emergent internet trend of diagnosing mental illness via anonymous survey’s and other equally challenged methods is just plainly bizarre-schizophrenic projection at best, punitive political theater at worst.

Not surprisingly, the two “great white fathers(patriarchs)” of both propaganda operations and psychiatry were actually relatives: Sigmund Freud the mind bender and his nephew Edward Bernay’s the great spin doctor. And this is by design, and by practice, and echoes the very history of both psychology and propaganda to this day, as complimentary organs of mass mind control and opinion formation as well-which is a clear and stated goal of all propaganda, by definition, and by the stated goals of this slick operation.

Related Story: The birth of the MIC Propaganda complex, mass mind control and influence operations, and it’s historic alliance with psychology. “A week after [President]Wilson’s declaration of war, he[Bernay’s] creates the imaginatively named Committee on Public Information (CPI) to propagandize the war and, quite literally, to mass brainwash America. It marks the beginning of scientifically based mass mind control in America.”

Here below, I offer any researcher of OGS to look in on a dialogue between two people who claim they are targeted individuals, and note the sanity with which they speak. This is a very common fact of OGS victims-most are clear headed and plain spoken, and the only thing they seem to “suffer” is having n redress, and few legal recourses to action against their system sanctioned stalkers. And, that the only element of mental dis-ease displayed in the scenario below is that one suspects the other of being a government agent, and exhibits that exact rational, self protective paranoia.

Here is actual dialogue between targeted individuals on The Intercept forum. Note the dialogue between Galactus and Stan (Stan is a well known person there who believes he is targeted, and he frequently mentions surveillance role players, and has an online presence where he seems to exhibit rational reactions to harm he has experienced in the past. 

No tinfoil hats, now DEW’s, no microwave beams-just a discrediting narrative, some possible PTSD,  and one persons attempt to overcome it through seeking validation-which is not, and will not be forthcoming from politicized psychology any time soon. There’s just TOO MUCH money status and power in the game played by institutional sociopaths of all kinds, on a board that is overlayed on any individual’s personal experience.

My spouse and I are on 24×7 direct surveillance now via our smartphones for the last several years. We are both US citizens.

Although we’ve not been able to confirm it, we suspect we have been on a Watchlist since 2004. Our overseas mail has been redirected through an office/adress in Singapore, our phones tapped in 2005/6, incessantly questioned and interviewed at the US border every time we enter the US from any overseas trip either personal or for business.

Organized gang stalking and fire departments

Organized gang stalking and fire departments

In a story covered on ABC’s 20/20,and now, by Courthouse news service,  we have a glimpse of organized stalking of a family by firefighters and others who waged a horn honking harassment campaign for ten years against one person, who is now suing them.

Meet Rick Krlich and his wife Cindy, who have endured a horn honking campaign in Hubbard, Ohio for ten years and counting. He writes about his experience of ongoing harassment on his website “Small Town Terrorism,” the Rick and Cindy Krlich story. Or-who do you call when it is public servants acting in an organized fashion, breaking the law, with help and encouragement from police to firemen to the city legal council?

The presence of numerous public employees among those assaulting the silence around Rick Krlich’s neighborhood isn’t the only questionable behavior in this strange saga. The response of the city’s former Law Director and now sitting judge Jeff Adler creates doubt as to the administration of justice in Hubbard.

Not only did the former Law Director fail to process/prosecute many of the cases against horn blowers, he actually represented one offender, and withdrew from initial agreement to represent more, in appearances before a Trumbull County magistrate.

So ask yourself: He’s supposed to represent the city of Hubbard. The city has an ordinance against horn blowing except to ‘give warning’ to other drivers and pedestrians. Yet he goes into court with people that have been caught on surveillance cameras, and he defends them from being held accountable for violating the city’s law.

Many incidents of organized stalking mention that fire departments are part of the harassment, and that they use the trucks as ominous reminders to targeted individuals that they cannot escape the harassment.

The main difference between most of these claims and the claims of Rick Krlich is that OGS usually targets low status individuals who have little or no resources with which to fight back or even defend their basic due process rights  or the right to the pursuit of happiness.

But Krlich is now suing, and it is likely he will win, because he had enough money and other resources to film, photograph, and record his stalkers, who at one point drove by his house and honked their horns 100 times per day.

o

Noises in the night…

What you will see here, Dear Reader, is a chronicle of spite.

Undeserved, uninterrupted, unyielding spite, triggered by one man’s belief that he could rely on the legal system to guide him through a simple real estate transaction.

What Garrick Krlich got, instead, was intimidation, frustration — and spite.

Krlich is a small contractor who lives unostentatiously in Hubbard, Ohio’s East Hill neighborhood. Over the years, he has managed to acquire surrounding properties, older homes like his that he turns into well maintained rental properties. He makes a decent living, isn’t greedy for more, and has been, overall, quite contented with his life.

Until the Clemente house next door became empty.

Until the noises in the night began. For more than four years now, the raucous sound of horns blowing has shattered the quiet of the night in the Krlich’s neighborhood, disturbing not only Krlich and his wife, Lucinda, but surrounding residents as well. The Krlichs lie awake, listening … waiting … and then come the sounds of the roaring engines, the screeching tires — and the horns. Horns that seem to be screaming “Go away! Leave! Never come back!”
