Mobbing


-Subtle and Covert. Mobbing has many aspects similar to Gang Stalking. The emotional and psychological abuse that the Targeted Individual suffers is very similar to what targets of workplace mobbing suffer. On this level the mobbing community are our closest relations, and this is why Gang Stalking has also been termed community mobbing by some.

Mobbing can be understood as the stressor to beat all stressors. It is an impassioned, collective campaign by co-workers to exclude, punish, and humiliate a targeted worker. Initiated most often by a person in a position of power or influence, mobbing is a desperate urge to crush and eliminate the target. The urge travels through the workplace like a virus, infecting one person after another. The target comes to be viewed as absolutely abhorrent, with no redeeming qualities, outside the circle of acceptance and respectability, deserving only of contempt. As the campaign proceeds, a steadily larger range of hostile ploys and communications comes to be seen as legitimate. …

Not infrequently, mobbing spelled the end of the target’s career, marriage, health, and livelihood. From a study of circumstances surrounding suicides in Sweden, Leymann estimated that about twelve percent of people who take their own lives have recently been mobbed at work.”

~ Kenneth Westhues, Professor of Sociology

Mobbing can be ongoing for years, it can cause health problems, and can even cause the targets to become violent, or have emotional breakdowns. Mobbing is hard to prove, and changing jobs might stop the mobbing, but it may not. Mobbing can cause you to be blacklisted from your field of employment.



Cellphone Stalking

-This is an overt form of harassment that involves 24/7 surveillance . The targets cell or cameraphones are used to track and monitor them 24/7.

Emotionally it's stressing to the targets just like Gang Stalking, but with cellphone stalking and the overt nature of the harassment, targets often have evidence to present to the police. Also the targets could get rid of their phones to stop the harassment.




Human Flesh Search Engine


-This is often overt and swift. In Korea it's called Cyber Violence, and in America it's called Cyber Vigilantism.

Human flesh search engines: Chinese vigilantes that hunt victims on the web
A new phenomenon is sweeping China after the quake: digital witch hunts of those who dare to be outspoken or criticise

Ms Wang’s Chinese name, Chinese identification number and contact details in America were tracked down and posted across the internet. She received hate mail and threats that if ever she returned to China, she would be “chopped into 10,000 pieces”. Her parents’ address in China was published and they were forced to go into hiding.

Tibetans have also been targeted. After 44-year-old Lobsang Gendun was photographed protesting at the Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and San Francisco, the human flesh search engine whirred into action.

With huge overseas communities, it took just a couple of hours for Chinese web users to collate the pieces of Mr Gendun’s life – replete with Google satellite map and photos of his American home.

“I suggest assassination,” wrote one poster. “Execution by shooting,” said another.

The speed to which the vigilantes can mount an attack is amazing, not just in China, but in Korea and America as well.

The Snoop Nextdoor

The digital age allows critics to quickly find a fair amount of information about their targets. One day last November, at about 11:30 a.m., a blog focused on making New York streets more bike-friendly posted the license plate number of an SUV driver who allegedly accelerated from a dead stop to hit a bicycle blocking his way.

At 1:16 p.m., someone posted the registration information for the license plate, including the SUV owner's name and address. (The editor of the blog thinks the poster got the information from someone who had access to a license-plate look-up service, available to lawyers, private investigators and police.) At 1:31 p.m., another person added the owner's occupation, his business's name and his title. Ten minutes later, a user posted a link to an aerial photo of the owner's house. Within another hour, the posting also included the accused's picture and email address.

This is in America and I see very little difference to some of the stories that happened in China.

Here is one more from Korea where they call it cyber violence, or online Mobbing.

EOUL Kim Myong Jae’s estranged girlfriend was found dead in her room in Seoul on April 22 last year, six days after she poisoned herself.

Two weeks later, Kim, a 30-year-old accountant, found that he had been transformed into the No. 1 hate figure of South Korea’s Internet community, a victim of a growing problem in a country that boasts the world’s highest rate of broadband use.

First, death threats and vicious text messages flooded his cellphone. Meanwhile, spreading fast through blogs and Web portals were rumors that Kim had jilted his girlfriend after forcing her to abort his baby, that he had assaulted her and her mother, and that his abuse had finally driven her to suicide.

“By the time I found out the source of this outrage, it was too late. My name, address, photographs, telephone numbers were all over the Internet,” Kim said. “Tens of thousands of people were busy sharing my identity and discussing how to punish me. My name was the most-searched phrase at portals.” News reports and portals confirmed that his name was at the top of such lists.

The next time someone tells you that people would not waste the time in harassing others, or stalking others, just smile knowingly and point to these articles.

Gaslighting


-This is often covert and done over a period of time, and the goal is to drive the person crazy, or to freak them out, or give them a breakdown.

en.wikipedia.org...

Gaslighting is a form of intimidation or psychological abuse in which false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory and perception. The classic example of gaslighting is to change things in a person's environment without their knowledge, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes. Popular usage of the term can be traced to at least the late 1970s.[1]

The term derives from the 1938 stage play Gas Light, in which a wife's concerns about the dimming of her house's gas lights are dismissed by her husband as the work of her imagination, when he has actually caused the lights to dim. His action is part of a wider pattern of deception in which the husband manipulates small elements of his wife's environment, and insists that she is mistaken or misremembering, hoping to drive her to insanity.
[edit] Use in real life

An example of gaslighting being used in real life was by the Manson Family during their "creepy crawler" burglaries during which nothing was stolen, but furniture in the house was rearranged[2].

Apparently this is an ongoing storyline. However if you want to see a really good storyline look up Drucilla being Gaslighted, also from the same soap opera, but from a few years ago. That was so well done, that the character ended up in a mental ward. It was a wonderful example of Gaslighting. I have not seen the Ashley storyline yet.

Gang Stalking


-Covert and ongoing. On an emotional and psychological level this is very similar to mobbing.

www.amazon.com...

Bridging The Gap is a disturbing, yet poignant look into modern day democratic surveillance societies. The book examines how this structure is used to discredit, disenfranchise, and destroy innocent citizens. Gang Stalking, The Buzzsaw, Cointelpro, what do these words mean and more importantly what do they have in common? They are names that have been used to describe the systemic apparatus that reaches out to destroy and discredit those declared enemy by the state. This book will open your eyes to how the informant system has taken over these democratic countries, and how they are being used to further create a surveillance society where no one will be out of reach, should they too become persona non grata by the system.

I would say it's a tie between stasi Germany and what happened under Cointelpro, however Stasi Germany probably most mirrors what is happening now.

Mass Con-Fusion

You mean to tell me that it is legal for corporations from the private sector to team up with local law enforcement officials in efforts to spy on innocent members of our society? You also mean to tell me that the synthesis of law enforcement authority and the drive of for-profit companies operate under little to no guidelines or restrictions and it is unclear to whom they are responsible to?

-Cointelpro

en.wikipedia.org...

COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception, however formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971.[2] The FBI's stated motivation at the time was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order

-Stasi

en.wikipedia.org...

The Ministry for State Security, (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, commonly known as the Stasi ['?tazi] (abbreviation German: Staatssicherheit, literally State Security), was the official secret police of East Germany. The MfS was headquartered in East Berlin, with an extensive complex in Berlin-Lichtenberg and several smaller facilities throughout the city. It was widely regarded as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies in the world. The MfS motto was "Schild und Schwert der Partei" (Shield and Sword of the Party), showing its connections to the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), the equivalent to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

-Cults

The bigger picture is that the structure functions like a cult does.
In how it keeps the members in line, how they obey and how they punish and try to destroy those outside the cult and those who would leave the cult.

This is just a very quick and brief introduction to this subject matter. To learn more, I suggest doing your own research and reading up on the subject matter.

I have been all through loads of types.

Once you a target for these scum, it seems to go on forever, i have had it for 17 years now.

Beware of who you talk too in life, as it could turn out that person may be a person out to totally destroy you which is the same as murder. These people are nothing more than people in government and police that organise 1st degree murder.

The herd mentality makes it easy for those trying to destroy someone, to just make it all up.

Like i said be careful who you talk too, as you may be talking in an inoocent way, but they turn out to be out to murder you.

I'm pushing sixty, and I have never observed most of these techniques. I am skeptical that they are common problems.

I am well aware of bullying, and even group attacks. I've been the victim of both. However, in all fairness, I was a rather abrasive and churlish character at the time, so the hostility I experienced was not altogether surprising. That doesn't make it right, but it does go far to explain some of the hostility.

I have never seen "mobbing". I have seen something faintly similar in grade and high school. Kids (including me) would be excluded from certain groups or cliques. Although painful at the time, it did not "destroy" me. I found other kids to hang around with, and survived quite nicely. In one school year, I could not find any kids, so I kept to myself, which I also survived.

I don't question that bullying occurs, and that it can have a devastating effect on its victims. People commit suicide over being bullied. They experience severe depression, psychiatric and physical illness, loss of work, and so on. it's real and it's bad. But... it's not so common.

Most bullying I've observed has been some alpha male trying to assert his dominance. I haven't seen many examples of sustained, blatant bullying. No doubt there is some subtle bullying going on that I don't see.

I have never seen concerted group efforts to bully or harass someone, not since my school days.

Damn!
I thought I'd found a subject to use as my first thread, but you beat me to it.
Good job I did a search first eh?

I don't think I've yet been a victim of this, but maybe I'm too dumb and thick-skinned to notice, though I have had a reputation for being paranoid and oversensitive, but as a friend of mine once said; 'Better to be a pleasantly surprised pessimist than a disappointed optimist'.
I have experienced my fair share of bullying and occasional victimisation, but that was in my teens when I was admittedly a lot more of an asshole than I am nowadays.
I used to do quite a bit of acid and mushrooms in the '70s and early '80s, and 'friends' would sometimes find it amusing to play head games with me, but to no avail, as I always sussed out what they were up to.
I suppose this is quite similar, but far more serious as it doesn't have drugs as a scapegoat, and you don't really have the comedown back to 'reality' as a means of escape.
Sounds pretty freaky nonetheless.
There really are some sickos in the world aren't there?
Forewarned is forearmed.

Thanks for bringing it up.

I.A.
