Gossip, lies, and slander are often used to destroy targets. This is done at work, school and in the community. Throughout history governments and entire communities have taken part in such activities, with dire consequences for those that are targeted.
Targets often express concern that public servants, and others in positions of authority are in on what is happening to them.
Using large populations of Citizen Informants, governments have been able to track, monitor, harass, entire populations. Systems of control and conformity have been used in East Germany, Russia, etc. These systems are now emerging in democratic countries.

I experienced this phenomena for several years before they eventually tired of me.
A few weeks ago, my husband (who suffers from extreme social anxiety) and I went to the grocery store together, and the stalking/theatre started up again...only this time, he was the Targeted Individual.
People kept popping up seemingly out of nowhere, intentionally getting right in his path and were very pushy about their right of way, a shop assistant kept following us around the store with a cart full of cardboard boxes and at one point, a doctor or nurse in scrubs began trailing us.
Everything was "off" that night in an environment we're usually quite familiar and comfortable with.
Needless to say his anxiety went through the roof and the fight/flight mechanism kicked in very strongly for him and we left the store as quickly as possible.
Up until he had a direct experience with the flooding aspect of being targeted, he often assumed I was making mountains out of molehills when I tried describing my previous experiences in that world.
We had a recent discussion about learning to cope with the uncomfortable sensations and realizations of that evening, and once he read some literature on the topic and realized he was not alone in these types of events, he calmed somewhat.
I'm glad he chose the flight aspect that night, because becoming fearful to the point of aggression and creating a scene is exactly what they want....it gets the Police and Medical EMT's involved, and brings in loads of money via involuntary inpatient treatment or through bond/bail in more serious outbursts that require incarceration.
The more a T.I. knows about the entire operation, the better equipped you are to outsmart the methodology they employ.
