FBI And Counter-Intelligence Subversion

What is Gang Stalking?

(1)  Definition of Gang Stalking

Gang stalking – also known as “organized stalking” – is a slang term for a set of tactics used in counterintelligence operations involving the covert surveillance and harassment of a targeted individual. The goal of such operations – in the parlance of counterintelligence personnel – is to “subvert” or “neutralize” an individual deemed by a government agency (or its informants) to be an enemy.

Tactics reported by gang stalking targets are remarkably similar to those used by the FBI during the Cointelpro era – slander, blacklisting, wiretapping, black bag jobs, overt surveillance (stalking), etc.

(2)  FBI’s role in Counterintelligence

An excerpt from Wikipedia’s entry on Counterintelligence:

“In most countries the counterintelligence mission is spread over multiple organizations, though one usually predominates. There is usually a domestic counterintelligence service, usually part of a larger organization such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.”

(3)  FBI’s History of Crimes Against American Citizens

Cointelpro (short for “Counterintelligence Program”) was the name of a secret illegal program run by the FBI from 1956 until it was exposed by civilian activists in 1971 (they broke into an FBI office and stole secret documents and leaked them to the press).

The U.S. Senate’s Church Committee investigations in the mid-1970s found that under Cointelpro, U.S. law enforcement personnel and their various public and private accomplices systematically spied on, slandered, terrorized, and committed acts of violence (including murder) against American citizens deemed to be dissidents.

Currently the FBI is exempt from the Whistleblower Protection Act – which means that if an FBI agent reveals FBI misconduct, he or she will not be protected from retaliation. Possibly as a result of that policy, no FBI agent has publicly discussed gang stalking since the late Ted L. Gunderson – a former high-level FBI official who publicly claimed that gang stalking is a more sophisticated version of Cointelpro.

(4)  Intelligence-Security Contractor Firms

According to a 2012 report from the Director of National Intelligence, about 70 percent of the budget for U.S. intelligence agencies such as the FBI goes to contractors. America now has approximately 4.9 million people with security clearances, and nearly one-quarter of them work for private firms.

In 2011 hackers obtained emails from the intelligence-security firms HBGary and Stratfor which revealed that such firms perform counterintelligence operations – for example, designing plans to use disinformation to subvert critics of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Many intelligence-security firms advertise jobs for “surveillance role players” (you can find the ads easily by a Google search). The job listings all state that applicants must have an active secret clearance and training in counterintelligence. Although such ads do not specifically state that the job involves working as a gang stalking perp, they also do not say what the job does involve. Whatever these domestic spies are doing, the firms do not want the American public to know about it.

(5)  The FBI and its Corporate Partners and Clients

InfraGard is a secretive intelligence-sharing partnership between the FBI and corporations. Their communications are not accessible to the public because they are covered by a “trade secrets” exemption of the Freedom of Information Act.

The 86 InfraGard chapters are each considered “stakeholders” in the nation’s regional data fusion centers. InfraGard members have priority access to some FBI information before it becomes available to the public – presumably as a reward for feeding information to the FBI.

In September 2010 the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General reported that the FBI lied to Congress about its counterintelligence operations against Occupy Wall Street – a political movement critical of large corporations. Corporations are not just the FBI’s partners; they are the FBI’s favored clients.

As activist Jeremy Hammond said, America’s law enforcement personnel are “the boot boys of the one percent.”

(6)  Disinformation and Counterintelligence

A common element of counterintelligence operations is disinformation. The U.S. Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive defines disinformation as “carefully contrived misinformation prepared by an intelligence or CI service for the purpose of misleading, deluding, disrupting, or undermining confidence in individuals, organizations, or governments.”

One method of spreading disinformation is the use of “sock puppets.” Officially, they are called “cyber personas.” A cyber persona is “an identity used in cyberspace to obtain information or influence others, while dissociating the actor’s true identity or affiliation.” Personas are the source of the vast majority of comments in online forums about gang stalking, as well as the vast majority of websites on the subject.

As with other aspects of counterintelligence, disinformation is often outsourced to private intelligence-security contractors. For example, the aforementioned emails from HBGary included a proposal to develop a persona management system for the U.S. military for posting comments in social media to create the appearance of grassroots support or opposition regarding various policies.

(7)  FBI Front Groups

Another element of the FBI’s disinformation strategy regarding gang stalking is the use of a front group called Freedom From Covert Harassment and Surveillance (FFCHS). Ostensibly a support group for gang stalking victims, FFCHS is actually operated by gang stalking perps. Details of the operation’s façade can be found at the website Fight Gang Stalking.
