   Author talking:    
      
   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.    
      
   I have observed extremist groups for several years while living in New York   
   state, Florida, and Canada. I monitored their public communications, attended   
   meetings, rode with them and I spoke with supporters and victims. I had lunch   
   in the same    
   restaurants they frequented and I listened to their conversations.    
      
   Cause stalking is one of the tactics used by these groups to intimidate their   
   adversaries. The primary characteristic of cause stalking is that it is done   
   by large groups of people. A target will always be followed, but he is   
   unlikely to see the same    
   stalkers very often.    
      
   There are a variety of types of stalking, including casual acquaintance   
   stalking, stranger stalking, celebrity stalking, stalking of juveniles,   
   revenge stalking, electronic stalking, serial stalking, intimate partner   
   stalking and cause stalking. Of all    
   these types, cause stalking affects the smallest number of victims but   
   involves the largest number of stalkers. Many of these groups include hundreds   
   of people. A description of the various types of stalking is given in Appendix   
   A, at the end of this    
   book.    
      
   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.    
      
   The number of extremist groups across the country and the number of their   
   supporters is small by comparison to the overall population, but it is   
   growing, particularly in rural areas. These groups have appeal to those who   
   have feelings of inferiority,    
   powerlessness and anger.    
      
   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. One extremist leader told me that his   
   group could do whatever a target can do and go wherever he goes. "We will do   
   anything to achieve our objective," he said.    
      
   Groups are well financed. They can afford to rent property wherever the target   
   lives. If he drives across the country, he will be followed by supporters of   
   similar groups in that area. If he travels by plane, group members will meet   
   him wherever he lands.   
    They may even accompany him on a plane if they know his travel plan, and   
   there is a good chance that they do.    
      
   The tactics described here have been used for many years by abortion   
   protesters on those who provide abortion services. Typically, everyone who   
   works in a clinic is targeted. Over the years, other groups across the country   
   have also begun to use these    
   tactics because they are successful.    
      
   Groups describe their methods as FACT (first amendment, chaos and tactics)   
   which they borrowed from the militia movement. These groups are a threat to   
   our democracy because they have the capability to destroy the life of anyone   
   they choose and his family,   
    unless they are wealthy enough to isolate themselves. There is very little   
   information on the tactics used by extremist groups. That is why I wrote this   
   book. I am hoping that the revelation of their tactics will help end their   
   use. When they are no    
   longer a secret, they will not be effective.
