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.

Plagues and Peoples: a **historical** ***interpretation*** *by an **epidemiologically-learned** historian.**

**i.e. Pandemics **in perspective—**par excellence!*

As quoted by the Lancet behind the front cover of this book,

Professor McNeill is an American historian with a sound grasp of epidemiological principles.

As McNeill points out himself in this book (which can be seen immediately in the notes to follow), historians systematically gloss-over the significance of epidemic disease.

In choosing to read Plagues and Peoples third in my sequence of pandemic-themed books, I identified it as the one most complimentary to Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year: for while the latter is “the prototype of all accounts of great cities in times of epidemic”, the former has to be one of, if not the most substantial attempts at a historical interpretation of epidemics (—which is quite distinct from an epidemiological interpretation of history, I would add).
