Well, it's in response to all the questions as to what purpose does stalking these people serve. I ask my mother the same questions, and generally, her position is the one that I posted before. I posted it, because, well all the for what purpose, who do these people think they are? I've been there, done that, posed those questions to my mother. What I got, was what I posted before, as to "WHY?".
It's very on topic, because my mother was stalked, and now a decade and more later, she is where many of these people who are gangstalked are. She see's a stalker in everyone, now. She's even accused me of "working for THEM". It's hard for me, as her daughter, to understand.
No hereditary sickness involved such as schizophrenia. But there is, in my mind, a direct causation between the way a person treated her (my step-father), and the resulting, lasting effects I'm still seeing today. She asks me all the time, "Why me? What's so special about me?". I like to say, you divorced a wealthy man who didn't want to share. And he got it all back, didn't he? That's why. But that's not a good enough answer for my mother.
So, yes. I try to keep a bit of levity in this conversation. This thread, actually talks about a very real issue I happen to be experiencing with my mom. I love her, and I want to believe her. I just don't know what to believe, so I guess my best bet, is to simply be supportive and wait and watch.

Second, it doesn't make sense to stalk and harass someone for decades in the hope that they will become paranoid and isolate themselves form the rest of society when it would be much easier just to kill them. I mean we are talking about people who are untouchable.
I guess that's easy to say when you don't have a sociopath fixated on you. My step-dad once waited 3 years to get back at a person he felt had wronged him. So that he wouldn't get caught, and no one would think to look at him so long after the trial, he waited, and waited. I think that that, was the first inkling to my mother, something just wasn't right with him. Fixation, is a very real for some people, particularly if that person is someone like my step-dad. He told her, he would never let her be with another person, or be anything or anyone. He's kept good on his promise. Though, I do believe he's moved on, I know from watching him do it before... If her circumstances did improve, he'd be there to dismantle whatever she built. He had left her alone at one point for a few years about three years after the divorce. When she started to date again, get back her life - back in he waltzed and trust me, any man looking at my step-dad isn't going to say no, when he says get lost. You just get lost. And that's the watered down version.
I wonder how common it is for someone who was stalked to later feel that they are gangstalked. I was mugged on a train station platform back in the early 90's. One guy held a knife to my throat while another went through my pockets.
If I find myself in a similar place I don't suspect that a little old lady adjusting her scarf or a mother pulling her baby from the stroller are signaling some hidden muggers to pounce.
I don't disagree with you there at all. In fact, I'm very much in accordance with this line of thinking myself. I do think that her present paranoia, is entirely the fault of her ONE stalker. He did have help. But when you have the money, it's easy to pay somebody to keep an eye on someone else. Isn't it? Money is a powerful motivator, and will cause people to do a lot of things, they never would imagine themselves doing otherwise.

But it is the most likely candidate to be the truth.
Yes, but it still doesn't change where she is at, or what she believes is happening. Simply because I or anyone else doesn't understand it or see it, doesn't change that she thinks she does.
By this I mean the type of gangstalking mentioned in the first part of your post and by others who claim to be targets of a federal and maybe even a worldwide group who are trying to hypnotize the human race because they happened to notice the secret signals that the members of this secret group send each other.
I know exactly what you meant. I mean the same thing. She believes she is a targeted individual, through my step-father's influence. She believes now, it's been taken out of his hands, and whatever their agenda, it's not good, but they now have their eyes on her. She doesn't hold it's the "government" though, she holds that they operate outside of any form of government we are aware of.
Me, I don't know what to think. Like I said, I just try to be supportive and listen. I try not to feed into the idea (I can't call it a delusion, because I know she has been harassed and watched.) and just reiterate that I thinks it's my step-dad. I think he's behind it, and will remain behind it, until he dies. And I know, he will. He's just that kind of special. She feels it's moved beyond that and more into the realm of what other TI's report. So who knows. All I know is, I've a loved one who feels they are a TI and its not funny or a game. It's frustrating and frightening, no matter what way it's sliced.
Peace,
Cirque

I do have one question for those who refuse to even consider that gang stalking might be real and laugh at or shout down everyone who shares their story as being mentally ill. WTH are you doing on ATS? This place is FULL of implausible scenarious, dubious claims and alternative theories about some of the wildest stuff you ever heard...And gang stalking is too much for you to consider possible? That's even harder to believe than MY story.

I have seen those videos and read about their experiences and frankly I have a hard time believing them even though I know it`s real.
On a forum where people feel free to discuss their belief in reptilians or multi-dimensional portals or Bigfoot-Elvis-alien abduction theories and government surveillance, the levels of sarcasm and derision about gang stalking really surprised me.
