   Review of Terrorist Stalking in America

   2001   
   Eleanor White wrote a review of the book with many quotes.   
   I just restyled the text, to make it more clear.   
   The chapters have numbering errors.   
   I didn't correct those.   
   He writes that the goal is to isolate the target.   
   He writes that leaders say that targets should be killed.   
   It's conflicting.   
   The book contains useful information, but also the usual stuff from   
   the disinformation mill that has probably been fed to the author.   
   We can't rely on him for the answer on the questions who and why.   
   And he says nothing about electronic harassment.   
   We are wary that he could have accepted money and/or favours in return   
   for writing particular things.   
      
   The author infiltrated street level stalking groups. He rode with them   
   as they carried out harassment assignments.   
      
   The police denies that such crimes happen. But this book could help to   
   convince skeptical family, friends, co-workers, and local authorities.   
   It's a breakthrough in the cause of exposing and stopping these   
   stalking groups.

   The police are aware of these groups   
      
   (Page VI)   
      
   David Lawson interviewed perpetrators, ("perps"), targeted people   
   ("targets"), and the POLICE. This is what the author heared from the   
   police that he interviewed:   
      
   I also spoke with police officers from across the country. They   
   confirmed the existence of stalking groups across the country. In   
   general, they said that 'cause stalking' is primarily a civil problem   
   where the plaintiff has to prove financial loss. They also said that   
   there are free speech and grass roots issues involved. In fact, the   
   police themselves are targets of these groups. In small towns, the   
   number of members in these groups can easily exceed the number of   
   police officers. In general, the police will NOT talk about stalking   
   groups. One officer did say there is a storm brewing as groups become   
   larger and more numerous.   
      
   David Lawson explains how he got involved and began to interact with   
   the 'cause stalking' perpetrators:   
      
   One day, several years ago, I was sitting in my house, and checking   
   out the activity on my scanner. I heard a woman say that she was   
   following a certain vehicle. She gave the location, the make and model   
   of the car and the license plate number. A few days later, I heard the   
   same woman on the same frequency say that she needed a bit of help at   
   a certain location and a few days after that I again heard her   
   broadcasting the position and details about another vehicle she was   
   following. I listened to other people talking on that frequency and   
   they didn't give any indication that they were with any government   
   agency but they were talking about ARRESTING PEOPLE.   
      
   On another occasion, on the same business band frequency, I heard   
   someone complain that an African American man was crossing the street.   
   "All we could get him for is jaywalking" responded the leader.   
      
   People in the group would discuss where they would go for supper,   
   after their shift was over, so I [the author] went too. I listened to   
   a group of people openly discussing various activities as if they were   
   the police.   
      
   Real police officers were also sitting in the restaurant, listening to   
   them. I later learned that their presence was not a coincidence.   
      
   One man who had supper with the group drove a van marked with the call   
   letters of a local AM radio station. I started listening to it. Most   
   of the guests were people who said they had new revelations about Waco   
   or Ruby Ridge, or had some inside story about government corruption. I   
   also heard advertisements for the meetings of a local political group   
   and I attended some.   
      
   At the first meeting I attended, one young man flashed a phony police   
   badge at me. No one paid any attention. Some of those in attendance   
   were the people I had seen in the local restaurant. This was my   
   introduction to the creepy world of extremists.   
      
   David Lawson goes on to explain that he has observed extremist groups   
   for several years while living in New York State, Florida, and Canada.   
      
   He monitored their public communications, attended meetings, rode with   
   them.   
      
   The author defines the basic reason for being for these citizen   
   stalking groups as CAUSE STALKING. Cause stalking means the group is   
   assembled, under a leader with a "shadowy past", for some specific   
   cause. But what actually happens is that these groups seem to be:   
      
   ... groups of individuals who appear to be borderline retarded,   
   mentally ill, or deluded into thinking that they are secret agents.   
      
   Cause stalking has been used by extremist groups since the early   
   1990s. The basic system is alleged to have been developed by the Ku   
   Klux Klan and refined through years of use.   
      
   David Lawson is mistaken when he calls the Patriot Movement   
   terroristic.   
      
   What is terrorism? Terrorism is the systematic use of terror. Terror   
   is violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in   
   order to intimidate a population or government into granting their   
   demands.   
      
   This is clearly not what the Patriot Movement wants. The Patriot   
   Movement strives to expose government crimes.   
      
   Tactics used by "cause stalkers"   
      
   (Page VII)   
      
   Some authors refer to cause stalking as terrorist stalking. Groups do   
   not just stalk individuals. They employ organized programs of   
   harassment which include BREAK-INS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, ASSAULT AND   
   OCCASIONALLY, EVEN DEATH. The CHILDREN of a target are a favorite.   
      
   Cause stalkers are always there   
      
   How about financing these groups? Although the author states that the
