My Husband Almost Lost His Leg to a Gangstalker

My husband came close to losing his leg to a gangstalker less than two months ago. It happened on Ocean Stree, in Santa Cruz on a bright sunny day. Although some Gangstalkers have reportedly run into their targets on purpose, this really was an accident. A foreseeable accident, but an accident just the same.

If you think this happened to my husband, because he is a target, you should know that it could easily (and often does) happen to anybody in the vicinity of gangstalkers, as they go about harassing their target by car. They drive like maniacs, taking whatever chances are necessary to keep their target in site and to create an environment of unrelenting harassment.

They cut off parking lots; they go the wrong direction on one way streets. They periodically exit a freeway from the fast lane, making an abrupt right angle turn, cutting across all lanes to scare their target and force them to brake suddenly. They’ve done this to me, going 60mph, and pity the innocent person who could have been behind me. (This tactic is going to be covered more thoroughly in future post.) It’s an intimidation move, meant to let you know they have been right in front of you for the last few miles.  Box maneuvers happen frequently, on  freeways using several vehicles to keep the target (and anybody who is unfortunate enough to be behind the group) , from speeding up or exiting the freeway.  They are dangerous. It might seem like they are playing a game, but the stakes could be your life or your leg.

Here’s my husbands leg, in pictures taken the day of the accident and over the following 2 weeks. I have no doubt that if my husband had lost his leg or been permanently crippled, the gangstalkers would have viewed it as a happy accident.  If an innocent bystander lost his leg it would probably be viewed as unfortunate, but just the cost of doing business.






I’m going to describe the accident in detail, because it is important for realizing how the Santa Cruz officer was taken in by the Gangstalkers.  Gangstalkers never work solo, when stalking their targets. They operate using the “safety in numbers” principal.  If one of them gets in trouble, the others spring into action to deflect any negative consequences. that might befall any member of the team.  In the case of police involvement or an auto accident, the job of the rest of the team is to act as witnesses, vouching for the member of their team who has earned unwanted attention.

The gangstalkers, posing as witnesses, can rightly be compared to an experienced team of   grifters, smoothly pulling off a complex con on a mark.   In my husbands accident,  the ultimate goal was to make sure the stalker who hit him, was not held responsible for the accident.  To achieve this goal the Gangstalkers had to work two separate marks:  the police officer who responded to the scene, and  ultimately wrote the erroneous police report; and several real witness, that were just feet away, at the moment of impact.

The Gangstalkers are able to pull this off, by using psychological tricks to create an alternate reality, which enables them to suck the unsuspecting into the lie. You’ll be able to see exactly how it works, when I describe the actual scene that began to unfold,  seconds after the accident.

I am not holding my husband blameless for the accident. He should have spoken up at the time.  He felt outnumbered, he wasn’t sure if his actions were entirely legal. and he may have been in shock. At the very least, he was shook up, in pain, and not thinking clearly.

I spoke with my insurance agent, who informed me there can be degrees of fault assigned to any accident. Insurance companies regularly use these findings when figuring how to proportion payout, in an accident, where the actions of both parties are considered a contributing factor. Even if my husbands actions were not strictly legal, I think you will have a hard time assigning the blame ratio at 100 to 0, in the Jeep driver’s favor, once you know what happened.

Here’s a look at the gangstalkers in action, at the scene of the accident, and the red flags that could have alerted the police officer, and the real witnesses , that things were not on the up and up:

Use my crude drawing to help you follow my narrative. Both pics are the same, so refer to the bigger one, (The duplicate is just in case, the link doesn't reliably pull up the larger pic.)




Motorcycle vs. Jeep

Motorcycle vs. Jeep

The day of the accident, my husband needed gas for the lawnmower. He left the house, tailed by gangstalkers, as is our reality these days. He filled up the tank on his motorcycle, intending to siphon it into the lawn mower, when he got home. The stalkers were expecting him to leave the gas station heading away from the house, like he usually does. But he surprised them, when they realized he was leaving in the opposite direction, back towards the house. This created a flurry of activity and made the gangstalker, who was driving a dark  Jeep, decide to try to make a green left hand turn light up ahead. We think he wanted to make a U-Turn, so he could stay on my husbands tail. (His motives are, admittedly pure speculation, but remember, we see these people in action every time we leave the house…so it is probably an accurate assessment.)

When my husband left the gas station, he wanted to take a left. To do so, he had to cross 2 lanes of traffic that were backed up waiting for the light to turn green. He did this by maneuvering his bike between the cars that were stopped. He emerged right at the spot where the empty left hand turn lane began. As he prepared to turn left into the Southbound traffic lane; he looked right to make sure it was safe to do so. At that moment, he was broadsided from the left. He didn’t see the car about to hit him, because there was no reason to expect a vehicle from that direction.

I just can’t seem to stop the sarcasm that peppers these next few paragraphs!

The driver of the jeep was standing still in the northbound traffic, back a few cars from where the left turn lane began, When he saw the left hand turn light. up ahead, turn green, he made a bold move. He swung his car out into the southbound lane, heading north (the wrong way) to try to reach the left turn lane and ultimately make the green left hand turn light before it turned red.  (This seems to me to be a longshot –particularly given that he was reportedly traveling at a mere a snails pace:  5mph.)

Even though the driver of the jeep admitted (to the responding officer) that he had

“punched it around traffic, to make the green light”

(essentially admitting to traveling the wrong direction on Ocean street), the police report found my husband at fault. This is solely because three other gangstalkers (they always work in teams) unanimously agreed that it would have been“impossible for the Jeep’s driver to have avoided colliding with the motorcyclist, who came out of nowhere.” (Unless maybe the gangstalker hadn’t entered the oncoming traffic lane in the first place–ya think?)

Furthermore, the witnesses reported (unanimously) that the driver of the car had only been traveling at a speed of 5mph. You know how IMPOSSIBLE (i.e. defying the laws of physics) it to can be to avoid a collision, at that high rate of speed.  Hell, according to witness testimony, a tortoise couldn’t have avoided the collision. The other things that would have been nearly impossible would have been for someone traveling at 5mph to have had any realistic expectation of  making the green light;  OR to have actually thought that the acceleration from zero to five mph could be adequately be described using the words:

“I punched it.…”

Within seconds of the collision, the three gangstalkers who acted as witnesses, were on the move, setting up the scene and establishing fault.  The three alternated yelling loudly.

“I SAW EVERYTHING…I’LL BE YOUR WITNESS”

The use of those words by all three witnesses, was not accidental.

By loudly announcing that they “saw everything”, verbally assuming the role  of witness to the accident, they displayed unmistakably (to animals, anyway) territorial behavior. Even though it might not be consciously interpreted us such, the subconscious mind is aware that this territory (in this case, the role of witness) has been claimed; it has been clearly staked out and would-be intruders are not welcome or needed. The unspoken message has been sent by the loudly spoken and carefully chosen words. Anyone challenging the claim is going to have a fight on their hands,

Even though there were several real witnesses that were closer to the impact, and without a birds eye view, nobody could have “seen everything,” the tactic worked.  It worked by diminishing the confidence of the real witnesses in their version of events.  It made them doubt what they had seen.  First of all, things happened fast. They had seen the car come out of nowhere and hit the motorcyclist, who was  looking right, and never saw the Jeep until it hit him.

Real witnesses only saw a small part of the accident (the impact) and they knew it. So who were they to challenge three witness who claimed to have seen everything? That’s a big red flag. The unanimous confidence of the stalkers as they stated the impossible:  “I Saw Everything“.   Furthermore, the discouraged witnesses would never hear the conflicting version of events told by the gangstalkers to the responding officer. They had been successfully discouraged from hanging around.

The only indication that might have had that the witness story was going to be different than theirs, was that the witnesses were essentially stacking the deck by yelling

I’ll be YOUR witness! , as they practically stepped over the bleeding motorcyclist down in the street to get the car drivers window. This was done to establish, in the minds of anyone in the vicinity, who did not witness the accident, who the real injured party was, here.. These three witness had patently ignored a bleeding man lying in the street, and rushed to the drivers side window, offering to act as his witness. They had done so, one, right after the other, effectively cementing the impression that the injured motorcyclist was of no consequence, and he had brought this on himself, therefore he was not deserving of any consideration or even a glance from the Gangstalker witnesses.

That’s the biggest red flag of all. All three witnesses never asked the man bleeding (heavily) on the ground lying next to his downed motorcycle, in the very middle of a busy street, if he was alright. They never asked if he needed help. The entire scenario appeared to play out without a single glance from the witnesses towards the motorcyclist. (except possibly to make sure they didn’t slip in his blood as they stepped over him, to rush to the uninjured drivers window.

They three witnesses and the uninjured driver had a pow-wow of sorts, whispering and gesturing, while waiting for the cops to arrive and  intermittently, raising their voices to proclaim   I saw everything, I’m your witness.

If any witness to an accident sees other witness claiming to have “SEEN EVERYTHING, who apparently can’t even see a badly injured man, in plain view, regardless of who caused the accident, something is definitely not right. WAKE UP! This was your first lesson in how to spot gangstalkers doing what they do.  Nothing about there actions was normal.  If you thought about it at the time it was happening, you would have spotted it.

I know I said I would cover the way gangstalkers played the Santa Cruz Police Officer, in this post, but this is enough for now. I’ll finish up the accident and discuss how training could have alerted the officer that the witnesses and the driver were working together to influence the outcome of the accident investigation.

Gangstalking and Predictive Policing: A Perfect Pair

Gangstalking and Predictive Policing: A Perfect Pair

At the same meeting mentioned in the last post, my husband spoke with Santa Cruz Mayor, Don Lane. My husband emailed him several months back, about our harassment and the lackluster response from local police.

We have had some success in getting a police response by contacting members of the Santa Cruz City Council. They responded quickly, pressuring the police to “take care of the problem.” Apparently the city council has the ear of the Chief, because their intervention generates a proactive effort on the part of the PD.

If you are being gangstalked and your police department has been less than helpful, you might consider going to your city council We were just reaching out for help, and didn’t realize that this is akin to going over the heads of the PD. They really don’t appreciate it. It is probably better to work with them, if you can. Contacting the the PD and using the cc (carbon copy) for the city council is more respectful. This makes the City Council aware of the problem, and gives the police an opportunity to act without prodding. I would try that first….but truthfully, my husband doesn’t usually ask for my opinion before dashing off the occasional pointed or inflammatory email. There are, after all, two people being gangstalked in our house. Keep in mind, the dynamic between city government and the police department may be different where you live.

Because of the City Council’s intervention, we were given an opportunity to present our case to the Deputy Chief, who was nice enough, but probably didn’t bother to read the detailed incident report I gave him. (I say this, because a week later he appeared to not be familiar with any of the details, when I spoke to him on the phone.)

What the deputy chief actually did, was give me the BIG BRUSHOFF (details to be covered in another post.) I didn’t even realize it at the time, because the man is very good at his job. In hindsight, I’m actually amazed at how smoothly he went about not helping me at all. His job was never about helping me. The job of a Deputy Chief is to help his Chief. In this case, the Chief was prodded by the city council to “take care of the problem”. I’m a little slow, on the whole chain of command thing… but now that my myopia has been corrected, by the virtue of hindsight… I realize that “MY problem” was not “THE problem” for the Chief. My husband and I were “THE problem”. I may not have considered the Deputy Chief to be very helpful, but i am sure the Chief is very pleased with him. If the chief paid his salary, instead of the taxpayers, he deserves a raise.

Anyone who is familiar with gangstalking, already knows Santa Cruz PD has admitted (apparently the first PD in the country, to openly do so) that gangstalking exists, and that it is a growing problem. The original story aired on our local TV News station, KION, where a SCPD spokesperson called it “bullying on steroids.” The Deputy Chief told me, he was not surprised by the gangstalking activity that we have experienced, remarking that he had “seen it all before.”

Judging by the thousands (from all over the world) of references to the SCPD’s public admission, regarding gangstalking, there is a general perception that SCPD is an enlightened and progressive police department. Logic dictates that a department that identifies a particular crime as a “growing problem” should be working on solutions to nip it in the bud. After all, you always hear that the first step, is admitting there is a problem. Logic also dictates that advance knowledge of gangstalking should put an end to the credibility hurdle victims have had to overcome. Right? Uh….not so fast.

There appears to be a serious breakdown in communication between the people who are in charge, and the officers who work for them, patrolling the streets. Every single SCPD officer who has responded to our calls, has told us they have never heard of gangstalking, or anything like it. (Maybe they watch KSBW instead of KION. )The moment we tell them we are being harassed by complete strangers, and that we do not know WHY they are doing this, we are treated to barely disguised skepticism.

You have to wonder why the Patrol Officers are unaware of it, when their bosses have gone on record acknowledging that it is a growing problem, Is it a matter of scarce resources, and low priority? I have NO idea. But this cavalier attitude is exactly what fuels the belief, by many victims, that law enforcement is part of the problem. Unlike some victims, I don’t think law enforcement or the U.S. government, is officially complicit in gangstalking. But, CLEARLY …they don’t seem to be part of the solution! It is extremely upsetting to be treated like you are imagining intense harassment, because the bosses haven’t bothered to tell the responding officers that this crime is a real crime with real victims.

That said, I do want to say that there is one Lieutenant on the SCPD, who has always treated us respectfully, never expressed skepticism at our reports, and really tried to help. My guess is that there is only so much one man can do, in a culture where those in charge have refused to do even the bare minimum, to stop these criminals.

When the patrol officers, who interact with the public, say they have never heard of Gangstalking (a crime that is PURPOSELY executed in a way that invites skepticism) upper management (sorry for the civilian term) really has failed to do the bare minimum. They have failed to share their admitted knowledge of the crime, with those in the best position to observe it, and catch the perpetrators in the act. Nobody is going to put any effort into solving a crime they don’t think is real.

By not even doing the bare minimum, the SCPD has further victimized us, by fostering an environment which encourages patrol officers (through ignorance) to disregard our pleas for help, view our accounts with barely concealed skepticism, and allow organized criminals to operate unchecked.

The first step in reconciling this problem is for the entire department to know what has already been shared with the public: Gangstalking is a crime that is happening in our area; it is growing, because technology has made it easier than ever.

When everybody is on the same page, and gangstalking is recognized for the serious crime that it is, the police department should make a commitment to eradicating it, or at least, treat it like other serious crimes.

Being the first PD in the country to take a stand against Gangstalking , is about as progressive as it gets. And how about this for the predictive policing agenda: I tell you where I’m going….and you predict the place and time where police will find gangstalkers harassing and violating the civil rights of an innocent citizen of Santa Cruz, as well as inconveniencing every other person in the vicinity (which can’t be avoided, and is of absolutely no concern to gangstalkers.)

There are rough estimates that put the number of gangstalking victims in the U.S at around 500.000. That is half a millon people who desperately need a progressive police department be the first to take up our fight against gangstalking. Why not the Santa Cruz Police Department?

Regardless of the position SCPD ultimately takes on gangstalking, there should be protocols in place for handling reports made by victims of it. “Act skeptical”, should be shelved, despite its long reign of popularity. It really is unhelpful in every imaginable way. It is a know the police encounter a lot of liars. I really wish the truth wasn’t so hard to believe. But thats how gangstalking works. That’s why it works. Skepticism is only possible, if you choose ignorance (which requires no effort). In my opinion, gangstalking has no informed skeptics.

In predictive policing, isn’t the goal to prevent a crime altogether or catch perpetrators in the act of commiting crimes? Drug deals take place out in the open every day, right under the noses of an ubsuspecting public. Should Gangstalking take place right under the noses of an unsuspecting patrol division? Police see crimes that the ordinary citizens routinely overlook. Training is what makes the difference.

Training officers to spot and recognize gangstalking, while its happening would not take a big time committment. Gangstalking is a smart crime that frequently takes place in public. It is subtle and invisible to the untrained eye. Officers study human beings, they can be trained easier than most people to detect the subtle signs of gangstalking activity. I can guarantee that the first time an officer spots it and recognizes it for what it is, it will be like ringing a bell– it can’t be un-rung.

.

In the next post, I will tell you how the Gangstalkers ran a con on a Santa Cruz Police Officer, responding to a traffic accident. They absolutely influenced his investigation. The story should illustrate the importance” of educating the local police department on how to spot Gangstalkers and catch them in the act of breaking the law. They aren’t just hurting us. They are a menace to the entire community; and currently Santa Cruz is hosting a large active community of Gangstalkers. Anyone who wants to see gangstalking isn’t going to lack opportunities. I am going to do what I can in this blog to educate people on how to observe gangstalking in action. And how easy it is to overlook it.

Gangstalking Victims Desperately Need DOJ To Do Their Job!

Department of Justice: Toss Us a Line! LIFT A PINKY!! We are being pulled under, out here. You've heard us begging for help. Why are you burying your head in the sand? Why are you burying us?



Earlier this week my husband attended a meeting held by the man who represents our local district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Sam Farr, has been a favorite among Santa Cruz voters for a long time. My husband and I do not consider ourselves to be very political, but we make a point of being informed voters. More than 15 years ago, we built a computer for a Santa Cruz woman, who was a very active volunteer on Sam Farr’s campaign staff. Her support for him was enthusiastic and contagious. The more we learned about him, the more we liked him. Since then, we have always voted for him.

I gained further respect for Congressman Farr, when I wrote to all of my elected officials, protesting the bank bailouts. The reply from Sam Farr stood out from the rest, leaving me feeling that he was a man who really listened to his constituency and could be trusted to speak on our behalf in Washington.

My husband went to the meeting to raise awareness about Gangstalking. Just like every other victim of this sick crime, we want our lives back.

I realize that I haven’t yet written very much about our personal story, but details will be forthcoming. Suffice it to say, these criminals are relentless; they have invaded every aspect of our lives, like a carpet of army ants. Not a day goes by that we are not subjected to some form of harassment from these bullies and thugs. These people are not just playing; they have every intention of destroying us.

Our hope is that Congressman Farr will, once again, help bring our message to Washington. My husband’s request to Congressman Farr, is paraphrased in the text below:

I was born and raised in Santa Cruz; I have lived here my entire life. 17 months ago, my wife and I became victims of an ongoing crime that we, just like most people, had never heard of. The crime is an organized stalking and harassment campaign that is often called Gangstalking.

The crime of Ganstalking has nothing to do with your ordinary street gangs. In almost all cases, perpetrators of Gangstalking are strangers, previously unknown to their victims.

Gangstalking is a crime that has been acknowledged by the Santa Cruz Police Department, in a statement made to our local TV news station, KION. They described it as a growing problem, which is facilitated by recent advances in technology. The spokesman for the SCPD referred to Gangstalking as “Bullying on Steroids.”

I am asking our Representatives in Washington to put pressure on the Department of Justice, to acknowledge the crime of Gangstalking, and to create a special category for it. Stalking is a crime that has several sub classifications, including: Stranger Stalking, Revenge Stalking, Workplace Stalking, Proxy Stalking, Obssesive Stalking, etc. Gangstalking is conspicuously absent from the list. And because it is really not a good fit for any of the currently recognized types of stalking behavior, it needs its own classification.

Official recognition of the crime is extremely important to victims. Gangstalkers deliberately use methods that, when reported to authorities, resemble things commonly associated with mental illness. That probably needs further explanation. Here is an example:

of the many tactics used by Gangstalkers, almost all victims report being followed by strangers. When looking back on the progression of harassment later, many victims will identify this as the point in time, when their life changed forever.

Gangstalkers use this tactic early on, because it has proven effective in damaging a victim’s credibility. Reports of being “followed by a large group of strangers” is commonly associated with delusions that plague the mentally Ill. This method is used on victims, because stereotyping, and snap judgements are reliably common human reactions, when confronted with anything unfamiliar. People who are unfamiliar, uninformed, or just close minded, on the subject of Gangstalking, predictably fall into this trap.

Since a campaign of “stalking by strangers” is usually one of the first overt actions taken by Gangstalkers against a victim, it is, understandably, often the first time that a victim contacts law enforcement, seeking help. The gangstalkers have not only prepared for this, they are expecting it. It sets the tone for all future complaints because it introduces a credibility hurdle. Once someone considers the possibility of mental illness, any future claims made by a victim, are evaluated with that in mind, making everything the say unfairly suspect. The DOJ has the power and the responsibility to educate law enforcement and the public about this crime. That alone, would be extremely effective in overcoming the credibility hurdle.

Freedom of Information requests have revealed that the DOJ’s own records make it clear that Gangstalking is a widely reported crime. Victim’s Centers and the various law enforcement entities that provide the Justice Department with their raw data, confirm that

Here in the United States, there are thousands of people each and every month (from every state in the Union,) reporting that they are being stalked by groups of 3 to 50 (or more) perpetrators.

Just like most harassment and stalking crimes, what makes Gangstalking hard to prove is that it is a PATTERN of focussed, hostile behavior, rather than a single, obviously criminal event. It is precisely because it is difficult to prove, AND the DOJ has failed to officially recognize it, that many victims are unjustly dismissed as mentally ill.

The DOJ is fostering an attitude of ignorance, by failing to share their knowledge of the crime with the public, victims advocates and police departments. Because the very agencies are set up to help victims of crime, have not been informed about Gangstalking, nor been trained in how to deal with it, they take the easy way out. They regularly” discount victims and deny the crime exists.

The Santa Cruz Police Department may be the first Police Department in the country to go on record acknowledging the crime, but they are far from enlightened. The patrol offers who have responded to our calls, regularly claim they have never heard of this crime.

Currently nobody is investigating our claims. We have gone to the SCPD, the Santa Cruz County Sheriffs, the California Highway Patrol and the FBI. We are routinely dismissed, because most law enforcement personal, who actually take complaints from the public, have either never heard of Gangstalking, or are unequipped to deal with it.

The first step to remedy the situation is for the Justice Department to make public what they already know. Gangstalking is a growing crime that is occurring all 50 states, and just like all forms of harassment and stalking, can have devastating consequences for its victims. The DOJ NEEDS TO LEAD THE WAY. They need to establish protocols to aide and guide local law enforcement on the best way to help victims. They need to advise law enforcement on effective methods for gathering evidence, which can be used in the successful prosecution of gangstalkers.

Gangstalkers spread disinformation on the Internet like wildfire–hacking victims web sites and posing as victims themselves, all of it intended to conceal their crimes, by making victims appear crazy. When law enforcement believes that ALL people claiming to be followed by groups of strangers, are mentally ill, they have been, effectively, CONNED by Gangstalkers. The DOJ needs to set the record straight. Their silence on the subject is complicit in allowing Gangstalking to continue, unabated.

It took far too many years, and a substantial body count, before stalking and bullying began to be taken seriously by those in a position to help victims. The consequences of that delay have resulted in unimaginable heartache for far too many victims and their families. Gangstalking is an intense form of adult bullying that is organized and planned out in advance (rather than occurring spontaneously.)

There has been much speculation that, while some victims of Gangstalking commit suicide, others are responsible for the increasing number of mass murders, like the one that recently took place in a Colorado movie theater. Constant torment and harassment can, and does, break people, as evidenced by the many school shootings, where the first victimizations took place LONG before anybody brought a gun to school.

Gangstalking violates the most basic of human rights. It also violates several state, local and federal laws. Not only is it real, the DOJ is aware of it. We are asking you help us by putting pressure on them to do their job, so these criminals can be stopped. We need help at the local level. An admission by the Justice Department that Gangstalking happens, with increasing frequency, would be a good start. Getting the Justice Department to go one step further, and establish protocols for dealing with the crime at the local level, would go a long way towards helping victims everywhere.

Note to other victims:

You can help yourself and others by asking your locally elected representatives to pressure the DOJ to do their job. Any communication with elected officials helps to raise awareness of the crime. There is far too many of us victims, for any logical person to think we are ALL mentally ill and delusional. SPEAK UP. NOBODY has the right to do this to another person!
