Civilian Collaborators in the Systematic Covert Persecution of Individuals: Methods, Effects, and History

Outlining the current research and historical precedents of the organised, supra-state operated covert persecution of individual civilians by employment of networked civilian collaborators, this article presents insightful extracts from various literature, concluding with a summary of key points.

Civilian Collaborators in the System of Covert Persecution: Introduction

This article concerns a covert system of individual control and social engineering that corresponds to an obscure but important subject termed (inappropriately) “gang stalking” or “organized stalking” by alternative media. For the most part, I simply select and present extracts from researchers into this subject to outline an abusively controlling social system that is, by design, commonly unacknowledged, rarely spoken of and systematically discredited. Despite its main principles of operation being detailed in the recent histories of major nations, the essential details of this abusive system are confined to alternative media wherein it’s discussed with increasing frequency, albeit in a highly distorted fashion. Pre-eminently complex, the system and its practices are based on the main facets of ultra-modern intelligence operations, techno-social civilian “collaboration”*, and classified advanced technologies.

*As will be featured in this article, the term “collaborator” is taken from the term “unofficial collaborator” used to classify civilians who “unofficially” participated in the Stasi’s covert persecution of civilians. Note that the modern-day “gang stalking” equivalent term is “perp”, as in “perpetrator”, which is more appropriate yet still inadequate to represent this particular form of agency.

PART 1
Embedded-Archetype Recycling

Introduction

More so than any other medium, the motion picture – also known as film, cinema, and most commonly, movies – has the capacity to convey ideas and themes whilst bypassing the viewer’s awareness of having done so; meaning that even the reception of the content generally remains unperceived, i.e. let alone its affect and techniques thereof. This principle can be observed by the substratum of archetypal themes from which movie* narratives are constructed upon; by the industrial recycling of these archetypes, evident in movies that are differentiated by time and genre; and by the common obliviousness to embedded elements and the pervasiveness of this practice.

*Although most of this article concerns movies, the discussion generally applies to television fiction too, particularly since it has become more cinematic in recent years. Movie narratives, however, are the primary form of embedded-archetype recycling.

I have termed the principle behind this practice ‘embedded-archetype recycling’, where “archetype” refers to a type of character or theme that is ancient, or at least pre-modern (hence being adapted into modern form); where “embedded” refers to the concealment of the archetypes within the overt narrative; and where “recycling” refers to the institutional practice of reapplying these archetypes to the narratives of “new” movies (hence, archetypes pervade the medium irrespective of era divergences and genre differences between movies).
