Gangs use methods of Dark Psychology and their strategy is to break people and make them psychologically unstable and fearful of them. They put a lot of stress on people, try hard to make them fear them, and manipulate their environment and senses. Don't let any of these get to you. With electronic harassment victim hear telepathic voice(s) in their head and are subjected to psychological manipulation using various techniques of “dark psychology”:

They lie and attempt to deceive all the time, use coercion, gaslighting, backstabbing (if they gain trust), guilt-tripping, use victims\' fears against them, and in the end exploit them for financial and material gain if it becomes possible. Voice(s) heard inside the head or outside can be random, mimic those of family members, or well known people - all of this is just manipulation.

Gaslighting is one of their main techniques. As explained in the above site, “Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that involves manipulating someone into questioning their own reality, thoughts, and feelings. The goal is to make the victim question their own instincts and sanity”. To achieve this they do “street theater” plays and manipulate what victims hear and their environment. Voice(s) in the head make victims further question their reality and sanity. If people start to believe these voice(s), they will hear lies and may start to believe the government, masons, or another “powerful” entity with advanced technology is involved. The false believes can become rather sophisticated and based on person's own prejudice, and fears:

\`Illusions and false sensory experiences are used to make a dramatic “out of the world” experience. At higher “levels” there is higher activation of neurons, sounds are very vivid and the world may seem different. This is similar to when a person is drugged, and gangs may do this for real as I know they use the word “sedation” to describe when a person is put through it. The world could appear unreal in some ways. For example traffic may appear to move slower and faster, which is due to several gang cars moving slower to keep track of a pedestrian and to slow street traffic. With very vivid sounds of engines this becomes surreal. Purposeful illusions using largely sound perception and plays are used in many ways. Hearing voices in the head during that time can make it further unreal and out of the world experience. Psychologists would think these are hallucinations, but the stories victims have are real and are part of gangs plays.

Conversations may be used to find as much as possible about victims, their lives, family, and friends and their weak points. All would be used against them with deception and lies, threats to them and those they care about, coercion and other techniques of black psychology. Victims would be put under high stress and psychological torture in an attempt to break them mentally. Gangs would attempt to make it appear everything is set against the victims in the world, and to separate them from family and friends who likely would not believe their stories. Slander could be used and lies told to other people. There could be attempts to drive a wedge between victims and their associates, friends and family using false sensory data (what victims hear which is not so) and further elicit negative feelings (though voice in the head or other means) towards those close to the victims. Some victims report bein coerced to commit suicide or homicide.

There are several goals that gangs have. One is to make sure victims are not believed by authorities, family, and friends, and that they would be seen as having mental problems (which is the current official position of psychologists regarding gang-stacking). If people go to police and find no help, they could be exploited financially and their financial resources or property used by someone and yet nobody would believe it. They try to put stress on victims to such a degree as to break them, including using pain and psychological torture, to get them to do what the gang wants. For those who do not it may become a mental and physical torture that lasts many years. Some can not take it any more and commit suicide or homicide.

There have been several mass murders linked to victims of gang stacking. In some cases it was against neighbors, in others due to desperation and to bring attention to their plight:

1\. In September 2013, Aaron Alexis killed 12 and injured 3 at the Washington DC Navy Yard:

He was a Navy veteran working as a contractor. He was targeted for several months and filed a police report that he was under surveillance in a prior month. He suffered from insomnia and thought someone was below his bed in a hotel (most likely so, gangs prefer to be below to burn under-skin during sleep and to maintain telepathy connection). He etched “end to the torment” and “better off this way” on a shotgun. The director of PACTS (People Against Covert Torture & Surveillance International), a TI support group, exchanged emails with him as well.

2\. In 2014 Myron May shot 3 at the Florida State University (FSU) before being killed by police:

[[https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/21/us/florida-state-university-shooting.html]{.underline}](https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/21/us/florida-state-university-shooting.html)\ May, a graduate of FSU, ended a successful legal career after suspecting that he was the target of a large-scale surveillance. He moved from place to place for several years and posted on social media about his experiences as a TI. His personal papers included a document “My Experiences as a Targeted Individual” where he wrote about harassment he suffered, a ten car surveillance team, failure of police to take his report, forced eviction, co-opting of an old friend to participate in the harassment, and other issues. Shoting at FSU may have been a suicide after finding no way to stop the stocking and harassment, and to bringing attention to his case.

3\. In July 2016, Gavin Eugene Long was killed by police after targeting 6 and killing 4 officers:

The attack was considered related to black nationalism and anti-police sentiment of 2016. However his facebook and blog indicate that he identified as a TI and interacted with PACTS. He thought he was stocked and considered police responsible for the harassment. He left a suicide note where he railed against corrupt police officers targeting of Black Americans.

4\. In August 2022, Steven Marlow killed 4 of his neighbors in Butler Township, Ohio. He was arrested by police in Kansas a day later:

In the video he uploaded a few hours before the shooting he talked about \“mind control\” and telepathy. He considered his neighbors involved and culpable in mental torture he experienced. He indicated that he wanted to \“help other targeted individuals” by his action. As of 2024 the trial has not taken place. He is held in a mental clinic, where psychiatrists attempted to treat him with drugs. He says he is still hearing voices, which means gang's projectors are somewhere nearby.

5\. Fuaed Abdo Ahmed held bank customers hostage in St. Joseph, Louisiana in 2013 and was killed by police after shooting at them. He demanded authorities remove a listening chip from his head. He left no notes related to being targeted and it is not clear if that was the case.
