Gang stalking
 

I saw a mention of something called "gang stalking" on a less reputable forum. Apparently it means that some malicious entity contacts everyone you know or will possibly ever know and tells them to ostracize and/or harass and intimidate you. Naturally, they all follow orders and don't let in on the operation.

This is basically the exact definition of paranoia, right?

Paint me naive, but there must only be a small subset of individuals with whom this could be efffective. For example, if my own files were tagged "violent individual, only approach in twos or more" I know that my GP would be questioning it, sor starters.I don't believe that we yet live in a world where some 'entity' could contact everyone I know and make them believe that I'd flipped my lid and must therefore be watched and reported on 24/7 without SOMEONE saying something directly to me about it, or querying it with authorities sufficiently to raise questions about the origin of the flagging/notification.

Fear mongering much?

Urban legend in the making??

That bastard lying consultant at the hospital told me it was a blood test. Now I know the truth, they microchipped me! :eek: That letter I got containing the test results sure threw me off the scent until I read this.

There goes that Eddy off on another of his rants. They told me to watch out for him.

And you're watching me now. I bet you know I drove mum down to the clinic an hour ago and are compiling a report for the relevant authorities to investigate. :)

No. The GPS is down right now. Err, I mean how would I know such a thing?

You are so paranoid.

By the way is that a new shirt? I don't think I've seen it before.:D

I watched a documentary on this a few years ago. It seems that Ed Harris initiated a gang stalking against Jim Carrey.

I googled this but didn't find any sources I would consider reputable. I would say if it is something that happens it is only in 'gang neighborhoods' where the resident gang has a hold over everyone in their territory. I would make a guess that a gang would use these techniques is they wanted to take over a neighborhood to add it to their territory.

I don't think the OP link is using "gang" in the sense of an organized street gang.

The OP just sounds like a modern form of gaslighting with the addition of secret monitoring.

I can't think of any way to organize complete communities to stalk an individual unless they are members of some type of group, club or gang. I should have been more clear how I came to the 'street gang' conclusion.

It has happened before. Scientology has been known to use such tactics on people who the church had issues with. But you generally need a hoard of religious zealots to actually have enough people willing to put enough time into harassing a person for such things.

"Are you being electronically harassed? Hearing voices? Being burnt or tortured in your home remotely?" From their video...

The URL gangstalkingworld.com was first registered in 2006, so it's not a new phenomenon.

IMO there is little or nothing there based in reality.

I don't believe that what the OP describes actually exists -- it sounds like paranoia to me. But if it did, an organized group conducting such activities woulnd't have to be a street gang. It could be a book club, or just a group of neighbors -- it just has to be an organized group.

And frankly, I think a street gang that didn't like you would be more likely to shoot you or beat you up than to go to all the trouble of "gang stalking" you.

Eh. Welcome to my world.

Sounds like the exact premise of the short-lived TV series Nowhere Man.

Yes, unless you're 13 or a Scientologist, I can't see how this would work.

If someone came up to me and told me to ignore xyz then I'd just shrug and ignore them.

In order to coerce/persuade your family/freinds into a certain action there has to be a percieved reward.
