Past Dark

Gangstalking

Episode Summary

An estimated 10,000 people in America believe they are are being gangstalked. Psychologists call it a persecutory delusion, and its victims call it targeted harassment. Bolstering their claims by pointing out past surveilance campaigns by the German Stasi, the FBI, and present Patriot Act, self identified TI’s or targeted individuals believe that a vast shadowy cabal are watching their every move, and in some cases, have even taken over their entire families. Victims report being followed by SUVs, helicopters that appear out of nowhere, microwaves beamed from passing cars that scramble or direct their thoughts, psychodramas staged continuously throughout the day masquerading as normal life- a constant parade of ephemeral events with sinister motives. The subtlety of the harassment is designed to wear the victim down, a campaign of torture by a thousand tiny cuts, whose ultimate goal is to drive the victim mad, to suicide, or, sometimes, to murder. A number of online forums catering to TI’s have exploded in the past decade, echo chambers where even the most unlikely claims are embraced with warmth and credulity, while the outside world simply calls them crazy. But are they? Do any of their claims have substance? How and why do governments conduct domestic surveillance? Is there indeed a cabal whose sole aim in life is to drive its enemies mad over a period of decades? Who could benefit from such a scenario? Are targeted individuals merely mentally ill? Can social media trigger hysteria? Is paranoia contagious? This is a story of Zersetzung and roving Joe Does, v2ks and psychotronic warfare. This is the story of gangstalking. And its Past Dark.
