Gang Stalker

This creation touches two issues: the police infiltrating dissenting organizations, groups and networks; and so called "gang stalking".

A Statewatch article from 15 years ago documents the developments of that time in policing, including infiltration: Using false documents against “Euro-anarchists”: exchange of Anglo-German undercover police highlights controversial police operations by Matthias Monroy. https://www.statewatch.org/media/documents/subscriber/protected/sw21n2.pdf ↗️ The Police State has come a long way since then.

Social media and instant messaging apps combined with modern intelligence legislation and surveillance tech provide ample opportunities for organizing informal social networks that can be employed in gaslighting or intimidating targets both IRL and online. (The Wikipedia entry on "gang stalking" has obviously been edited by the cops. Conflating accounts of being targeted by the police with crackpot conspiracy theories is a patented way of delegitimizing them.)
