#Awareness #Stalking If You Are Being Stalked...

For ALL those who think I am doing the WRONG thing in regards to my stalking subjugation. MANY people, particularly those involved to one extent or another on Elftown, have had their jollies by telling me that "only a crazy, lunatic person would save, document, and log data with time, date, and any relevant information about the NUMEROUS incidents" I've experienced. For these "know-it-alls", please then read below:

Any person who suspects that he or she is being stalked should report all contacts and incidents to local law enforcement. To make arrest and prosecution more likely, stalking victims should document every incident as thoroughly as possible, including collecting/keeping videotapes, audiotapes, phone answering machine messages, photos of property damage, letters received, objects left, affidavits from eyewitnesses, and notes. Experts also recommend that victims keep a journal to document all incidents, including the time, date, and other relevant information for each. Regardless of how much evidence they have gathered, victims should file a complaint with law enforcement as soon as possible.

As a result of the stalking, you may experience a variety of physical, emotional, and financial consequences. The emotional trauma of constantly being on alert for the stalker, or the next harassment, may seem to use up all the energy you have. You may feel vulnerable and out of control of your life. You may have nightmares. Your eating and sleeping habits may change. You may feel depressed or hopeless and lack interest in things you once enjoyed. This is not unusual. The constant stress in stalking situations is very real and harmful. Realize that what is happening to you is not normal, not your fault, and not caused by anything you have done.

Any person who suspects they are being stalked:

• should report all contacts and incidents to law enforcement - √
• should document every incident as thoroughly as possible - √
• (experts also recommend) victims keep a journal to document all incidents, including the time, date, and other relevant information for each - √

Stalking victims experience a variety of physical, emotional, and financial consequences:
• The emotional trauma of constantly being on alert for the stalker, or the next harassment, may seem to use up all the energy you have.
  - Tell me about it. I'm always feeling tired, in need of sleep.
• You may feel vulnerable and out of control of your life.
  - Oh yeah, and it seems the more you try to gain back the control, the more you feel like it's a losing battle.
• You may have nightmares.
  - Yup! Horrible, sometimes because of the present situation; sometimes because the depressed state resurfaces old scars.
• Your eating and sleeping habits may change.
  - Yup! Sometimes I go for days with eating next to nothing because I get so I don't care if I eat or not. ..And sleeping? Sleeping is in increments.
• You may feel depressed or hopeless and lack interest in things you once enjoyed.
  - Depression, hopelessness... definitely and to the point you just want to end it all and a number of times. Not only lack of interest, but a lack of "sustained concentration".

#Awareness #Stalking What is stalking?

Stalking statutes vary from state to state. In general, stalking refers to
repeated harassing or threatening behavior by an individual, such as
following a person, appearing at a person's home or place of business,
making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or
vandalizing a person's property. Virtually any unwanted contact between
two people that directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the
victim in fear can be considered stalking.

Anyone can be a stalker, just as anyone can be a stalking victim.

Stalking is a crime that can touch anyone, regardless of gender, race,
sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic location, or personal
associations. Most stalkers are young to middle-aged men with
above-average intelligence.

Unfortunately, there is no single psychological or behavioral profile for
stalkers. Every stalker is different. This makes it virtually impossible to
devise a single effective strategy that can be applied to every situation. It is
vital that stalking victims immediately seek the advice of local victim
specialists who can work with them to devise a safety plan for their unique
situation and circumstances.


Some stalkers develop an obsession for another person with whom they
have no personal relationship. When the victim does not respond as the
stalker hopes, the stalker may attempt to force the victim to comply by use
of threats and intimidation. When threats and intimidation fail, some
stalkers turn to violence.

The most prevalent type of stalking case involves some previous personal
or romantic relationship between the stalker and the victim. This includes
domestic violence cases and relationships in which there is no history of
violence. In these cases, stalkers try to control every aspect of their
victims' lives. The victim becomes the stalker's source of self-esteem, and
the loss of the relationship becomes the stalker's greatest fear. This
dynamic makes a stalker dangerous. Stalking cases that emerge from
domestic violence situations, however, are the most lethal type of stalking.

The stalker may attempt to renew the relationship by sending flowers,
gifts, and love letters. When the victim spurns these unwelcome advances,
the stalker often turns to intimidation. Attempts at intimidation typically
begin in the form of an unjustified and inappropriate intrusion into the
victim's life. The intrusions become more frequent over time. This
harassing behavior often escalates to direct or indirect threats.
Unfortunately, cases that reach this level of seriousness often end in
violence.

ROFLMAO!!! The "Virgin Slut" HAHAHA

Wow! I guess people who belong to this site don't think very much of themselves.

https://maps.google.se/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&gbv=2&q=58439+Sweden&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x46596f5c16c2a753:0x115c1b7da96ce25d,584+39&gl=se&ei=MjPxUczAOafh4QSQ4IHADg&ved=0CGsQtgMwCg

My privacy being invaded is one thing... but when people that I care about and are close to, begin experiencing serious problems with their communicating devices as a result of communicating with me, and the topic discussed was in regards to what I'm being subjected to with ALL the incidents of such tampering, THIS takes things to an all new level. I've had to put up with having my privacy invaded for now 6+ years and counting. Yet the person violating my privacy and stalking me thinks that I should just be silent about what he's doing to me, so he can continue to get away with his "secret activity". Because I refuse to be a silent victim, apparently, he will stop at nothing to make "me" pay for telling the truth about him. He has threatened me that if I didn't keep quiet, he would have me thrown off the Internet. He's slandering my name saying that I'm a liar, that I'm conjuring up conspiracy theories, that I've harassed others, he's taken a ton of my art and written works away from me (which is art theft), and much, much more and it's all due to the fact that I have within my possession a ton of information incriminating him, part of which, he even made inaccessible to the public, because he knows he is the one implicated with the data that points directly at him.

There are people who think I should be quiet about this, think I should just get over it, think I should just ignore this, and several other things they "think" I should do, so he can continue to control my life and abuse me. But the funny thing? If THEY were in my shoes, THEY wouldn't. But yet, THEY think I should.

Well, one way or another, I AM going to put a stop to this because it IS WRONG. No one has the right to violate another person and furthermore, has no right to abuse the person they are violating just because the person they're victimizing won't be silent about it. ..And people who stand by and say and do nothing when they know what's being done that's wrong, they are no better than the person doing the violating, because by keeping quiet, they ARE in fact, aiding and abetting the violator.

When people who know what's being done to me is wrong, but then say there's nothing they can do? Well, THIS IS the easy way to excuse themselves from caring, isn't it? Those who lack empathy always look for the quickest and easiest escape route, so they don't have to obligate themselves to care then. But... if THEY were in a predicament of needing help, THEY would expect someone/others to help them. The strange thing too? Some of the very people who turn their backs on me, are the very same who I have stuck up for, stood by, when they were going through something and needed support. But now that "I" need support, THEY can't be so bothered! Nice, isn't it?

Anyway, since the person invading my privacy and stalking me refuses to be willing to try and work this situation out, amicably and maturely, without malice and arrogant belligerence, it's past due time, to bring out the heavy artillery: TRUTH about him! (Which will also involve truth telling about others involved)

I'm completely fed up with being forced to have to live this bloody nightmare and now that people I care about are, as the data indicates, being affected and being made to put up with crap they shouldn't either have to put up with, my patience has run out. My stalker wants to act like a complete d***head, a**hole, creep, scumbag, and keep carrying on with his ego-fed pride? So be it, but even Napoleon Bonaparte met his demise. I hope you remember your history, Mr. I Spy. I can't move on or get past or forgive an ongoing violation. I can't understand why, if I'm not afforded the opportunity TO understand. ..And I can NOT allow the violating to continue without doing everything I can to stop it. So, the time has come when it's time to pay the Piper and at least, I don't have "your" bill to pay and I'm not referring to money.

#Awaken! #SeekTruth! #BeInformed! Education is the learning from many and varied sources, not just from books. Books used for educating, for example, do not teach common sense. Since books are written by people, they carry to one degree or another, the perspective of the author or authors, and then those in charge of the educational institution determine which books are to be used and which ones not, which is yet again, another filter in respect to "selected" perspective.

Through my educational years, I do not recall any book learning or lessons in building good character or valuing values or encouragement to learn myself. Instead, it was more about "conforming to the norm", what was perceived by the teaching institution to be normal and not to stand out, but blend in with the rest. When everyone "conforms", they are easier to control. In my opinion this stunts growth of the mind and spirit and discourages children to venture outside the box, and is more then of a training institution than a teaching one.

We must educate ourselves and our children with as much truthful knowledge and information as possible, from as many different sources as possible, and this "hunger" for the same must become contagious among The People, all The People worldwide, so we may all or at least the major majority, unite with ONE common mission and this is to take the power out of the grasp of those who are currently in charge and place it back into the hands of The People, where it belongs. Those in power care not about the best interests of The People nor even about this planet we live on. They only care about using The People as a means to serve their glutinous and insatiable lust for money and power, and so, control.

There are too many around the globe in leadership positions that shouldn't be in the positions they are in and as long as they remain in the positions of power, The People's situation will continue to deteriorate and so worsen. We, The People, NEED to stop allowing our differences to divide us, and focus on the ONE common mission. When we allow our differences to divide us, we are then playing right into the hands of the current zealots in charge, because the old adage of "divide and conquer" is very much true.

One twig by itself can be easily broken, but a bunch of twigs bundled together aren't likely to be broken. One tiny flame can be easily extinguished, but a wall of fire, a union of flames, cannot so easily be put out. Instead of going against people like Snowden, Manning, and Assange, we should be standing "with" them, and then those in power will be less likely to be able to use them as examples to instill fear in the rest of us to keep us from resisting against the tyranny present.

Seek truthful information, but NOT through mainstream media, because mainstream media serves the best interests of those in charge and only allows enough news to be leaked to the public to make it "appear" like they are doing The People some huge favour, when in fact, mainstream media is feeding into placing focus on our differences to keep The People distracted and therefore, divided.

The Internet is the "information highway" where we, The People, can seek out and learn more than the one-sided information mainstream media is spoon feeding us. We mustn't be complacent and therefore, be willing to settle for anything less than the "whole truth". ..And we mustn't EVER allow the Internet to be controlled by those who only wish to control us, so they can continue onward with their business as usual agenda. Namasté

"We, The People, We Are ONE"

We, The People, we are ONE,
We have a mission that MUST be done.
We must UNITE, in LOVE embrace,
To keep us strong enough to face
Our opponents, the wolves as sheep,
Who strive to herd 'us' and to keep
Us trapped in fear should we rebel,
Show resistance against the hell
They are designing, have underway,
So they may reap and we must pay;
Meet their demands, supply their need,
Of lust for power, insatiable greed.

While among us, poverty abounds,
Starving children, hear the sounds.
People made sick with illness, disease,
They toy with lives as they please.
They claim to be leaders, us protect,
Honour and praise they do expect,
While they steal from us, rob us blind,
Feed us lies, poison our mind.
They have no conscience, no remorse,
For what they do and so, endorse.

We, The People, MUST take a stand,
UNITE as ONE, NOT disband.
We must prioritise what's at stake,
Let not our differences, divide us make.
For when we permit this dividing wedge,
We hand our opponents the cutting edge.
This is not a task for one or two,
ALL of us must follow through,
When those with courage face the wrath,
The rest of us should join their path,
For a single flame or two or three,
May be extinguished most easily.
But a wall of fire can relentless be,
And force surrender of the enemy.

We, The People, we are ONE,
We have a mission that MUST be done.

When one "professes to be" FOR "freedom of speech", "freedom of expression", and AGAINST "censorship", AGAINST "oppression", and FOR people's "right to privacy", one would tend to believe that that person would then "abide by" the very things they SAY they stand for, right? But when what they profess to stand for or against, whichever the case may be, and they have to DO or follow through on what they profess, and then don't abide by their own claims, what does this make such a person besides a fake, a hypocrite or a liar.. or both?

From my buddy, Adam...

Bradley Manning, the soldier charged with providing secret material to WikiLeaks in the biggest leak of classified files in US history. See: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-11/defence-rests-in-bradley-manning-trial/4813178 Please Share :) Shame on any American who isn't supporting Bradley Manning. Since when did exposing the truth become a crime in America? Threatening someone with charges of treason for wanting to give the public real facts about U.S. initiated foreign conflicts is substantially damaging your country's image in the eyes of the world. Now your government is doing the same with Snowden. When will you stand up for what is right instead of hiding behind blind patriotism?

Bradley Manning's actions exposed those who would use the veil of classification and secrecy to commit crimes in America's name. He is a brave altruistic soldier who has acted on his conscience. “If you had free reign over classified networks… and you saw incredible things, awful things… things that belonged in the public domain, and not on some server stored in a dark room in Washington DC… what would you do?” “God knows what happens now. Hopefully worldwide discussion, debates, and reforms… I want people to see the truth… because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public.” (2:22:47 pm) Manning: i mean what if i were someone more malicious (2:23:25 pm) Manning: i could've sold to russia or china, and made bank? (2:23:36 pm) Lamo: why didn't you? (2:23:58 pm) Manning: because it's public data (2:24:15 pm) Lamo: i mean, the cables (2:24:46 pm) Manning: it belongs in the public domain To charge Manning with "aiding the enemy" is a dangerous over-prosecution of his case. The materials Bradley Manning's sent to Wikileaks reveal evidence of abuses of power and human rights violations perpetrated by U.S. military and coalition forces, as well as the Iraqi government the United States installed. Military logs released by Pfc Manning led to an investigation by the Guardian newspaper, which discovered the Pentagon's role in setting up Iraqi-operated detention and torture centers that were responsible for "some of the worst acts of torture during the U.S. occupation." Have you ever made a decision to act on your conscience in disagreement with your family, employer, state or country? — with Artsieladie Donnelly.

Comments to:

Artsieladie Donnelly: The ONLY thing that Manning has done and RIGHT is TELL THE #TRUTH! Speaking of #TRUTH, here's some #Truth! If ANYONE deserves to be convicted of treason, it's very clear in this video. Thus my latest status and sharing it here: #Awaken! #BeInformed! #Truth! Want to learn the definitive truth about 9/11? I highly suggest to watch this video. IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES!!! O.O OMG! THIS is an example, just one out of many examples, of what our bloody wonderful government doesn't want us to know!!! I have always felt in my gut that there was a whole lot more to this horrible and tragic event than what we were ever told. ..And I have said more than once in conversation, that it appears Israel is "using" the US as a means to serve its agenda. How many times has Israel instigated something and then expects the US to have its back? Just look at all the anti-Muslim hatred it has generated! I am so bloody sick about this!!! This is why I have always reserved any negative judgment in this regard because I felt in my gut, we weren't being told the "whole" truth, but rather just enough to herd us like sheep in the direction those in control want and expect us to go in. GRRRR Is it ANY wonder why the zealots want to take full control of the Internet!? They want to take control of the Internet to CONTROL the "information highway", DECIDE "for us, The People Worldwide" just "what" THEY will ALLOW us to see and know about. #WAKEUPPEOPLE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD_vwzjdTi4 Rufus Barba: Disclosing information about illegal acts being committed against American citizens, as in the case of Snowden, or corruption within government itself should never be viewed as treason. The role of government is to protect its citizens, not abuse them by vio- lating the constitution. We have the right to know, by any and all means, and what is hap- pening is just that right, by means of whistle blowers, who are then treated as common criminals. People need to wake up to what is happening around them, and not just accept what the media spoon-feeds them! We are not viewed as innocent in the eyes of government anymore, but as potential threats. I applaud Manning and Snowden for doing the right thing. It is the people of this country I am disappointed in, that supports a corrupt, immoral central government.

Artsieladie Donnelly: The heinous crimes that are being committed by those running the show here in the US are downright DESPICABLE!!! ..And yes, the American People are being made out to be the monsters, when in fact, it's those that are in charge doing their rotten heinous acts and hiding them from the American People. This is why People need to #WakeUp! Make it a priority to seek and learn the #Truth. ..And this is why it is VITAL that the Internet NOT EVER BE allowed to be controlled by the zeal- ots, because if and when such should happen, we will then be controlled and herded like sheep and brainwashed by one sided propaganda, all for the intended purpose to serve the zealots' agendas. Artsieladie Donnelly: So much mention about treason and oath taking being broken. I have ONE question: Didn't those we elected to office place their hand on the Holy Bible and swear to "serve The People", swear to "uphold the Consti- tution", and hence "protect" our rights and freedoms? I don't ever recall hearing any of them swearing to "serve them- selves, the bankers, the big corporations, the violation of our Constitution, and keeping secrets from the American People"! When our government and its branches, subsidiaries, and agencies of, each and every one of those running the show, STAND UP and ACCEPT ACCOUNTABILITY for "their secret, un- derhanded" tactics and agendas, THEN and ONLY THEN can "they" point fingers, make judgment calls, and hand out de- rogatory labels of those who are "exposing them"! But then, IF "they" were to do such, there would no longer BE a reason to, would there? We have a bunch of "spineless cowards" run- ning the show, who haven't got the guts to accept and claim what "they" do wrong, but sure like to project "their own guilt" onto others who DARE to expose them! "The only ones who hate the truth and truth tellers, are those who are concealing it and are aiding and abetting its conceal- ment." ~ Artsieladie #Quotes

I just love well spoken #Truth!

#Quotes: "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke

So right! When people know that there is wrong being done, but do nothing, they are then perpetrating and supporting both the wrongdoer(s) AND the wrongdoing. People who do such are "enablers" or "bystanders". I am neither an "enabler" or a "bystander", although I am expected to be. I have been called names, chastised, grossly humiliated, my character assassinated, barraged with cruel and very unkind treatment... but still... I seek the truth and I speak the truth, regardless of who likes it or not! If the person(s) responsible for my subjugation doesn't like this FACT, I suggest then, that they stop telling lies about me to protect their own neck(s), speak the TRUTH, and then I will no longer have to tell the TRUTH for them, about them!

Yes, indeed! Build a mountain of lies and one fine day, the truth will waltz in and bring your mountain crumbling down ...and keeping the truth concealed won't and doesn't guarantee that the eruption of truth won't still take place, because it will erupt and the longer one hides and suppresses the truth, the more powerful and the more damaging are the results. You know what they say...

"The bigger they come, the harder they fall!"
The bigger the mountain, the higher the wall,
The bigger the lies, the bigger the fall!

There IS an explosion... on the horizon! Ka-BOOM!!!

"Mountain Of Lies"

So, build your mountain, build it high,
Lay your bricks, each made with a lie,
But be forewarned, truth is watching you,
Keeping tally of all the lies you spew.

Then when you've outsmarted it, or so you think,
The truth will erupt, in a flash, in a blink,
Bring your mountain down to ruins in a blast,
Catching up to you, present meet your past.

All your wussy minions, each of narrow mind,
Shall all be exposed with their deeds so unkind.
Lies, ultimately, cost the deceivers in the end,
Because truth is truth. There is no twist or bend.

When your mountain's crashed, the rubble amidst you stand,
Remember, truth beckoned with a warm, receptive hand.
But you rebuked it, scoffed at, spit in its face,
Welcomed in deceit to fill in its place.

With your stubborn self and arrogance applied,
Self serving attitude and your ego fed pride;
Your need to control, manipulate, and use,
Takes precedence and so, you live just to abuse.

Fill your heart with hatred, every tiny, little crack,
But don't be too surprised when it's what you're given back.
Love cannot live in a dark place of desolation,
Where all there's room for is self adulation.

The hate you feed with all your manifested lies,
Is in fact your burden you seek to disguise
And then you project it, onto others lay the blame,
Voiding you of decency, voiding you of shame.

You babble against censorship, oppression,
But you're just a hypocrite, full of self obsession,
For when it comes time for you to follow through,
You cannot abide by all the crap you spew.

As a god, you, yourself perceive,
Yet you say, God is only make believe.
The only make believe is this notion in your brain,
Caring and compassion can't thrive in the insane.

Being good or bad is a personal choice to make,
You choose the latter, any goodness is a fake.
Your superficial charm laced with deceit,
Now has surfaced and will yourself, defeat.

The only one you've really hurt is your pathetic self, a shell.
In such a place only loneliness and bitterness can dwell.
So tell yourself you're perfect, bring on the brass,
For Karma is awaiting to bite you in your ass!

So, build your mountain, build it tall,
If built on truth, it shall not fall;
If built on lies with bricks of deceit,
It will come crashing down at your feet!


However...

"The Shoe..."

If the shoe fits, wear it then, smugly on your foot,
But if it smells foul, blackened with evil soot,
Then it's time to change it, take a different stroll,
Wash away the stench, relieve it of its soul.

Once the foulness has been thoroughly washed away,
What has been suppressed will be let out then to play.
Caring, kindness, hope, embers of, stifled, will ignite.
Smothering out the darkness, to shine with love and light.

Remember what you sow, is also what you reap,
Will the seeds you're planting bring you joy or will you weep?
Remember what you say, remember what you talk,
Is the path you must follow, the path you must walk.

"Path Of Least Resistance"

The Path Of Least Resistance whispers in your ear,
"Come hither, follow me, follow me my dear.
Come, take the easy route, eliminate your stress,
As far as pain and hardship, virtually none or less.

You will not feel the need, nor will you have to bear,
Nor will you have to harbour the pressure for to care.
You can skate through life, never on thin ice,
Escaping responsibility will be very nice.

You will need no passion, no desire, nor to dream,
Because you'll have no goals for, to aspire or esteem.
But your life will be full of lots of wasted time,
And there'll be no mountains you will face to climb.

You can plunder, take whatever you please
With no accountability, life will be a breeze,
And at the very end of your journey, though unfulfilled,
You can say you made it with nothing being tilled.

There will be no legacy for you to leave behind,
Nothing to remember you in each and every mind.
So, you will leave this ol' world as naked as you came,
And when you're dead and gone, forgotten be your name.

Do follow the Path Of Least Resistance, the much easier course,
Your journey will be uneventful; no joy. No remorse?"

“Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.

If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscurantism, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.

If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types, who's hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.

The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering.

Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.”
