UNEXPECTED PATH TO END T.I. STALKING
There are no truly simple and foolproof paths to end any kind of stalking, but one proven Free Will Society method has led to discovery of an unexpected path which might prove very simple and effective for many T.I. victims of organized or individual stalking.

Introduction
One unexpected benefit of stalking victims relocating here on the Coast of Washington State with me has created awareness of a new path to escape stalking. It is not really new, but that is, a new way to use an old method previously though useless, based on prior attempts to employ it. It seems we just didn’t know how, but quite by accident, thanks to the Free Will Society’s efforts (FWS) to help severely impacted stalking victims, now we do. That said, I’m not claiming we have exclusive knowledge of it… others may have discovered it before us, and simply failed to share.
This discovery amplifies the original reason for T.I.s electing to meet up here with me (and other Members) on several levels. The idea was that there would be safety in numbers able to watch each other’s back, with the eventual hope of caravanning together as a preformed community to a rural property site (farm/ranch) to establish our own intentional community, the Free Will Haven project (FWH). Today, as this is being written, there are four Members of the Society here (one just arriving), along with a larger number of victims already living here… and a like numbers seriously considering to do so.
One thing is already true of this: all Tis here have a sense of great improvement in their targeting situation, and if honestly considering, must admit that remaining targeting symptoms may simply be coincidences or knee-jerk assumptions based on expectations ‘learned’ from years of targeting. So, to be clear, coming here has proven beneficial without the new path discussed herein. But it is important to relate it to our efforts, here, because it explains how we learned of it, as well as how to make it work.
To preface further with useful event context, having worked with thousands of victims over several decades, one axiom which has remained constantly true is this: it is not normally a good idea for targeted individuals to share the same domicile, or become romantically involved. That axiom presumes that two or some other small number are doing so as individuals, and not part of a larger community of ONLY victims living in the vacuum of a targeting-free environment, like FWH. In an all TI environment, safe from direct easy access by perps, and given time to get to know other victims and establish relationships normally in the luxury of a non-targeted day-to-day life, it may be possible to find helpmates and romance free of the problems which always arise while targeted actively. Specifically, it almost always ends up where one or even all such persons living together end up accusing one another of being perps in one form or another, and result in bitter breakups with considerable additional damage to everyone’s already frazzled and delicate psyche. In fact, I’ve never seen the axiom fail, though I’m hoping it has, somewhere, for someone.
A perfect example took place when, against my general advice, one of the Members offered cohabitation to aid another homeless Member in seeking to reestablish himself, here. They would share a hotel room, one using a sleeping bag on the floor. It only took about three weeks for an emotional bond to form sufficient to lead to romance, again against my advice, and only a few weeks more to lead to the expected accusations and an unhappy separation. There is only one important detail about all that, and it is the matter which opened the unexpected door to a logical path for other victims.
The male Member, admittedly a PTSD victim as well, threatened violence in ways rendering him a danger to himself and others… to include myself and the Society.
There was no choice but to seek a restraining order, and that has proven to be a doorway of great opportunity, particularly here, in Washington State. Before continuing, I must admonish against mentioning organized or gang stalking, mind control, and any DEW or other electronic weaponry when seeking a restraining order. Not unless you have direct proofs to offer… and by proofs, I mean courtroom Perry Mason-quality. What you believe or think true, or have researched online or even found in my books, MEANS NOTHING before a Judge.
For this reason, also, know that your standing before a Judge, especially if the Respondent chooses to use it against you in his defense, can be harmed if you had previously filed Police Reports which involved those same topics. While there can be exceptions, it can be used against you and result in an unfavorable ruling by the Judge… who will likely view you as mentally imbalanced in some way. I have always advised great care in calling Police or writing letters to FBI, Politicians, Media, etc. Any such prior activities will create doubt in your claims, and require significantly stronger proofs if to overcome such doubts. Ergo, best to keep it simple, and focus on threats of violence or actual violence in need of restraints.
Even so, attempting to secure an Order has potential value even if rejected (for any reason). You can try again another day when your quality of proof improves, and multiple attempts can, in the right circumstances, serve as proofs of another sort in non court venues. But you can’t keep doing that… after a third try, or so, you’ve likely worn out the welcome mat. But one or two can be seen as an excellent historical trail which succinctly documents the nature, depth, and timeline of targeting, esp. when presented with your own argumentative responses to any given rejection by the Court.
Types of Orders and how they work
There are many kinds of restraining orders, and while a lawyer is always a wise partner in any legal action, they are relatively simple to request on one’s own. Most States have a Free Legal Service available for this and other purposes, if you are on fixed income, homeless, etc. We are only concerned with Civil Orders, as opposed to Criminal Orders, which relate to criminal investigative needs. Commonly, there is no Court Cost or Fee to seek any form of Civil Restraining Order, the type useful to a T.I. It is primarily a matter of visiting the County’s Courthouse and requesting the forms, often also available online, and filling them out. Because multiple types of orders can rely upon the same forms, it can mean rather a lot of detailed paperwork (in our case, about a dozen sheets of questions with checkboxes and fill-in-blanks).
Typically, the County Clerks can answer questions should any given item not be understood. We had about six such questions, answered on the spot as we filled them out at the Courthouse. If you will have witness testimony, you will likely need ask for forms for that. Even with Clerk aid, our first attempt was still somehow flawed, but by the time we finished the second attempt, we understood the process rather well. There will be no specific stepwise advice on any of that, here; it will likely vary State by State, as determined by various laws in place which so dictate, and the forms themselves.
There may be variations on the type of Civil Restraining Order from which to choose. The County Clerk’s Office can advise which type is best… or more correctly, which forms best meet your need, based on playing 20 questions. But the one best version is one based on Domestic violence, for reasons covered separately, herein, some of which relate specifically to unusual benefits in Washington State, which may or may not be available in your State.
Domestic violence is generally defined as actual violence or threats of same from anyone you have cohabited with (romantically, or no), be it current or at some time in the past. Many targeted victims complain of family members, roommates, and cohabitation lovers (not one-night stands… but any situation where they had their own key copy) deemed to be a perp. Actually, as we will later discuss, it need not even be that they were a perp, to make an Order of value… that Washington State difference. Restated: there is a potential benefit in a Domestic Violence order against any individual, which can also benefit a victim of stalking by other unnamed and unreferenced persons in the order. It’s like being handed an umbrella; it can cover more than one person in the right circumstances.
Less specific orders (non Domestic Violence) addressing specified aspects of stalking and/or harassment still have value, but only if against named respondents.
Before getting into details, lets take a look at the process, which would not seem to vary much State by State. After you file the request (Petition), a Judge will review the Petition and either reject it for insufficient cause, or find it sufficient to issue a Temporary Restraining Order (likely in the range of ten to fourteen days) pending a Hearing where the Respondent and Petitioner can argue before the Judge as to why it should be rendered Permanent, or Lifted (canceled). This provides due process rights to the Respondent, who must ‘respond’ if feeling the order is unjust. It might take place by phone or only video conferencing, since the advent of COVID. In any event, the petitioner (you) need not confront the respondent in court, if feeling threatened, thereby. Note that should a restraining order be lifted, you should likely be notified and given an opportunity to protest and alter the decision… a matter to be inquired upon when the final order is issued.
The Temporary Order will be served and you will also receive a copy. If violated by Respondent, you call Police and they will take action which might be anything from a warning to an arrest, and the Court will be notified of the violation, which will strengthen the likelihood of a Permanent Order. Once the Judge rules, that notice will also be delivered to both parties, and the protection either continues, or is ended. Simple 1, 2, 3.
What you need before you can file
You need to know the name and address of the Respondent, and ideally, their birth date or estimated year of birth. You need physical description characteristics (estimations OK). For both yourself and the Respondent, you need to have current addresses. This can be a problem if either of you are homeless… specify a Shelter or friend’s address, or a hangout location and so indicate. In like manner, you must know what Law Enforcement Agency responds if either of you were to dial 9-1-1 (determines who will serve legal papers and be most likely to enforce the Order if violated). It can be useful to know if the Respondent has weapons, a criminal past, an income/job, vehicles, or specific items used in targeting you (again, nothing relating to political control technology). In some cases, your Order can request seizure of items potentially used against you, such as guns or a vicious attack Dog. For anything more than guns, it is especially a question for a lawyer, perhaps, and for making a case that the request addresses a valid, significant threat.
Of utmost importance, you need to be able to describe the perceived threat with examples, but also, if to succeed, supporting proofs. This should include descriptions of emotional states of fear or other harms already experienced, or feared; sell the drama. A Police Report is the ultimate proof, perhaps even if the Police could not verify claims… multiple reports can establish a pattern — so it is possible that any ill-advised calls to Police might still prove useful. If they exist, consider to use them, because if they do and you don’t mention them, that may cause the judge to throw the matter out.
Ask your Clerk about how to properly handle and submit such third-party proofs, testimonies, and other attachable evidences. Proofs can be in the form of emails or sms messages, video/audio recordings, or eye witness statements which illustrate the most serious threats or harms experienced. Some such proofs like video/audio can simply be cited, with an offer to provide them at a hearing, or perhaps by mounting them online somewhere with a private URL link you can put into the documentation. You would not want to overload the request with too many examples, but you can cite that other examples are available. The important thing is to illustrate each differing kind of threat, abuse, or harm endured for a broader picture.
Special Benefits of Domestic Violence-based Orders
Victims of Domestic Violence become eligible for special benefits in many States. In Washington State, it can mean emergency housing in a center with greater security than a homeless shelter. It can also mean monthly financial assistance in several categories. Washington even has the functional equivalent of a ‘Witness Protection Program’ which provides the victim with all new identity, and establishes them with either an income and living space or employment in a differing city, as well as a blind mail drop which allows contact by approved persons/businesses without them knowing your true location/current name.
The Society has a contact in the Washington State program who is very pro Society efforts at a personal level. This provides yet one more set of reasons for Members to consider joining us, here. Should perps follow, the Restraining Order provides additional defensive measures to those already in place here due the safety in numbers and my presence, with my skills set and special TSCM (Technical Security CounterMeasures) equipment. It can, for those able to illustrate Domestic Violence (even if from another community, perhaps even out of State), mean superior protection and other aid well beyond that of the Society. Again, that is true even if it was unrelated to current stalking issues.
But it is also true, that even if not a Member, and not joining us, here, anyone can use this tool anywhere in the country, for possible relief at one level, or another. Please advise of any such efforts and outcome.
COVID Advice for Stalking Victims
Many victims of stalking are already socially isolated, so in many respects, the current virus-imposed ‘social distancing’ situation can be a benefit to them, as well as a threat. There are ways to tip the balance, to become a survivor of both targeting, and COVID19…

Stalking victims are no stranger to the topic of conspiracies, and boy, are there a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding the COVID19 virus. Among them are themes portending a Global New World Order takeover, global population reduction, martial law, forced vaccination and disarming of citizens, international intrigues and threats of war, and much, much more. Some of that, unfortunately, is backed up by legitimate fact-based concerns, but the bulk of it is conjecture, at best. I’ve written as much in a blog on that topic, already. While I believe it is good to be wary and keep an eye on such things, I also try to practice what God teaches, which is to live for today, plan for tomorrow, and hope for the future. It is especially important advice for a stalking victim who is severely impacted.
Tricky that, and far too easy to fail in the trying (I must admit to such failure). Trickier even more, perhaps, is putting that advice into practical terms specific to the virus situation we all find ourselves in, today, and its importance in relation to stalking concerns. Clearly, we need to focus on what we know will help us through, TODAY, here and now, and better prepare us for any possible Tomorrow, that we may hope for a better Future, thereby. And our ‘today’ was already in a not-too-great a condition, as targeting survivors.
I like that word, survivors. Use it often, when you speak of yourself.
Practical matters, matter
Being stuck at home in a defensive posture is nothing new to individuals severely impacted by malicious targeting. Their incomes have already been devastated, often by an inability to earn and income because of their stalking, and just as often, by deliberate sabotage of their financial underpinnings in various dirty tricks. So when the government talks about a relief check in the mail, they may be taking hope. But there are caveats not commonly being mentioned in the fake news of the day, who are still focused on pushing virus and political fears ever higher. They are not our friends of bygone days of actual journalism.
For one thing, a simple one sentence mention in passing on one radio interview, casually mentioned that the checks would only be sent to persons who had filed a 2018 tax return, on the basis of that return’s indication of income. Most Tis are on some form of limited fixed income such that they don’t need to file taxes. The radio indicated that persons who were on SS/Dissability, or ‘off the grid’ with respect to taxes, would not be seeing checks. It was suggested that filing a late return, even if no taxes due, might set the stage for relief, if showing an income in need of ‘relief’ due to negative virus impacts upon the nation’s economy.
If any income could be shown at all, above and beyond the fixed, it could make a big difference. Better still, if it was a such that it would have resulted in taxes, but for the deductions. Self-employed incomes, for instance, might have depreciation allowances and business expenses which collectively negate the profits derived (you are taxed only on your net gains). Personal deductions, either the standard or itemized variety, can also offset such income and eliminate actual tax liability. If you have children, the Earned Income Credit may help you to gain actual ‘Tax refunds’ even if you paid no taxes, at all. Keep in mind that I’m no tax consultant; due diligence is advised, which may mean relying upon a professional.
Tactical matters, matter
Stalkers are people, too, and if their efforts involve going out in public in order to harass a stalking victim, they are at increased risk of contracting COVID 19, themselves. That would certainly take them out of the picture for at least awhile, and possibly permanently. But just the fear of such risks may also inhibit at least some of their actions aimed at their victims. How much more likely might they be to keep their distance, if you began exhibiting symptoms, yourself? It’s easy to fake a cough, and complain about a fever, and the like. Some form of public complaint or warning might be in order, even if just a social media mention. Guarantee you, your social media friends include your stalker enemy in disguise, and they read everything you post very carefully…
Stalking is a ‘game’ that two can play. There is a stark difference between being a victim who has only the option of reflexive responses born of victim recoil, and who is doing exactly what their assailants want them to do, and one who elects to take charge of their situation and employ both defensive and offensive tactics, and become a survivor. I have written extensively on this in my books, and in various blog posts. While all situational assessments can vary, and establish different tactical considerations, there is much which remains the same across the board. For those who do not have my books, a less detailed summary of the most useful advice can be found here: https://proparanoid.wordpress.com/2016/10/30/ti-defense-30-tips-to-help-fight-back/
As always, I still remain available for additional advice at proparanoidgroup at gmail com, where I offer a free Helps Kit and can answer simple direct generic questions. I also offer a new Skype-based personal dialog service. That is a for-fee service, 100% of which goes to the Free Will Society to aid stalking victims, as does all sales of my ebooks. More recently, I have created a ‘shopping list‘ of suggested Amazon items which represent various stalking defensive/offensive solutions. While I selected items I would find very good for the purpose, they are not necessarily the perfect choice for everyone, but if taken as generic suggestion, one can compare with alternatives, and choose wisely. Neither is it specifically meant to advise using Amazon to purchase. However, I learned that if you apply for the ‘Amazon card,’ and spend $800 or more with them in a single purchase, you get 12 months same as cash terms. That made a difference, for me, and might for you, if the offer is still valid.
Not on that list, is firearms. My books address that topic with some caution, and caution is indeed due. My position for stalking victims is, that the nature of the targeting (methods employed) may or may not warrant a weapon for self defense. There is a fine line between deterrence of physical assault benefits, and creating a risk by virtue of a gun in one’s possession. Without proper care and knowledge, and skill in use (practice), the liability and inherent risks aspect can far outweigh the tactical protection it is supposed to represent, especially because stalking methods may involve a way to make the possession itself a weapon against you. For instance, the new unconstitutional and draconian Red Flag and concealed carry laws could end up getting you in dutch with Police, and see your weapon confiscated based on nothing more than an anonymous complaint of ‘brandishing.’ And, it is absolutely true that someone who is depressed or under tremendous emotional/mental strain due to (anything, including stalking), may not be the best person to have access to a gun; a bad decision or moment could prove a terrible disaster, by inappropriate use.
Big lines at gun shops right now, and for good reason
But the virus situation poses a whole new concern and reason for needing protection. As we have already seen with shortages, the potential for violence is often triggered by things as simple as toilet paper. If the future is a long-term shut down of America and beyond, the risk of civil unrest, military takeover, revolution, or even invasion may not end up being far-fetched ideas. If food supplies or utility systems are shut down and/or rationed, roving gangs of looters and criminals armed to the teeth will come. Would you be ready and able to repel them, or end up just another red stain on the ground and a statistic? I at least advise one to investigate the possibility of gun ownership. Visit a gun store and talk with their staff for suggestions on what might make a good choice, and then find a shooting range which rents guns on premise, and take a firearms safety course which lets you experience the weapon, and overcome any fears of safe handling. Make sure that, in all of that, you have a clear understanding of your gun rights and gun laws in your State. THEN, and only then, will you be armed with the knowledge needed to better decide.
It is important that you act sooner, rather than later. Some local governments are already attempting to completely shut down access to firearms and munitions, and that alone, is a bad sign. When the government tells you you don’t need or can’t have a gun, that is exactly when and why you need one. Talk to your Sheriff’s Department or local Police (non emergency phone number), about shooting ranges and safety programs they may offer, sponsor, or recommend. Most Sheriffs support the 2nd Amendment, and some offer Auxiliary Police/Deputy programs where you are given access to AR weapons and training, and positioned to be available as reserve support in a crisis. Being called does not mean you must report, but if the SHTF, standing together against tyranny or unrest is exactly what will be needed to end the threat.
There are also community ride-along programs. While many TI’s avoid Police for having found them problematic in many unpleasant ways, getting to know as many local Officers as possible is one way to negate or minimize any such concerns. And, it can prepare you for a better response in a bad situation. It is at least something to consider.
Logistical matters, matter
While it is possible that this crises will turn the corner and the threat level be reduced to ‘normal,’ in a matter of a few weeks, the potential for long-term issues is very real. I urge everyone, not just stalking victims, to grow their critical supply reserves to ‘Prepper’ levels. I, for instance, have a two week supply of perishables (things which expire or go stale quickly), which I can do without, if needed, backed up with a 30 day supply of non perishable foods (canned and dry foods, mixes, etc.), itself backed up by a 90 day supply of actual Prepper foods which can be stored for years. I regularly rob from the backup materials at both levels, and replace with fresh in a rotation method so that no supply ever reaches an point where the shelf-life is exceeded. I mean, what is the Prepper movement about, if not survival?
Visit this link for great advice on Prepper shopping and as a gateway to the wide-world of Prepping, in general
I would normally need to visit the store once a week. I can now easily avoid going at all, for perhaps 120 days. However, one would not wish to attempt achieving or replacing such supply levels in a single shopping effort, because that might be considered as ‘hording,’ and I expect there will in time (already so in some communities) when there will be keen eyes and a harsh responses by government, if reported. So I suggest, and am myself deliberately increasing normal purchase levels and visits before the virus spread is truly pandemic in scope, and and plan on tapering off as I ‘get ahead’ of the consumption rate. You can buy as if for a family of five, even if living alone, and double down even on that, without raising eyebrows. You might even find case lot sales, and there is no reason you can’t hit multiple stores at the same time, or go back every few days. Of course, finances can become part of the equation, which is why that relief check could be important.
Transportation issues can be tricky. I’ve learned that a decent bicycle can be more useful than a car, and far cheaper. I use an electric bike, which helps with my handicap and age concerns. It allows me, a 74 year old who was at risk of his legs being amputated, to peddle 20 miles an hour (and save my legs from that threat, by restoring blood circulation). With a basket, I can haul away as many as 12 bags of groceries. I have a giant bag which fits my basket, which is waterproof, and insulated for both hot and cold items, simultaneously. If you would like to explore such a possibility, let me know (at the above email) and I can turn you onto learning more, with a way to save $50 on one of the best but least expensive (sold direct from factory, cutting out middle men) bikes on the market… with a lot of models to choose from.
Tactically, speaking, once more… a TI is less likely to be stalked by car, if on a bike of some sort; a car cannot go that slow, and if a stalker elects a bike, they will stand out like a sore thumb, easier to spot and deal with. IN FACT, I have an idea which could be managed through the Free Will Society, which would allow almost anyone reading this to earn extra money during the ‘shutdown’ while also performing a needed public service which can help reduce the virus threat. If not too handicapped or aged to use a bike (the electric can be used without peddling, at all — it has a throttle), it has the potential to be as lucrative as, say, a Uber driver opportunity, with like selectivity as to how much and when you choose to work. Better still, it will help fund the Free Will Society at the same time. If that sounds interesting, contact me for exploratory dialog.
Medical matters, matter
There is a lot more information out there on COVID19 than can be assimilated, and worse, most of it is NOT in a useful form. If you have a simple question, finding the answer is a minefield full of background material, political correctness and maneuvering, legally and medically obscure wording, historical data facts and figures, and fear mongering… making it extremely hard to find an answer. When I had symptoms described in MSM, I naturally wanted some more details… but after six of the most logical Web sites left me in a daze, it turned out that the best medical answers were found elsewhere, and revealed my symptoms were not at all a concern. Ironically, it happened to be a stalking victim and follower of the Free Will Society who turned me on to it, and provided a link I find very useful. It is a blog post citing/linking to an actual medical practitioner ale to speak in lay terms and to provide simple graphics for at a glance understanding. Take note, CDC, your slip is showing.
The real problem in a given targeted individual’s situation, is that every symptom of targeting is also a symptom of a possible medical condition or health issue. That’s useful to stalkers, because they know they can inflict such woes upon their victim, any attempt at getting help results in an easy dismissal of concerns: “You should consult a Doctor, about that.” And indeed, you SHOULD, because it might just be truly a medical issue, in which case it can be dealt with… far more easily than trying to solve targeting, we would hope. You need that clean bill of health, before asking anyone for help with stalking related symptoms.
So the same thing is true with COVID19 symptoms. You not only want to make sure that is or is not what it represents… but if it does not, to make certain it is not a symptom resulting from targeting. So a good Doctor relationship, now, more than ever, is important. Unfortunately, many stalking victims talk about reasons they cannot find or work with their Doctor. In my first ‘how-to’ book on personal privacy and security, I talk about how to find a good professional for any need (Doctor, Lawyer, etc.). Pretty simple: I suggest looking for someone who is relatively recent to the trade, with almost brand-new credentials hanging on their wall. They should be of a minority race, such as Hispanic or Asian, perhaps a woman.
Such persons are less likely to be tainted or jaded by the system, and more eager to adhere to high moral/ethical standards. This makes them more resistant to corrupting forces, and they will be hungry for clients, and more willing to cater to their needs, than someone who has more clients than they can handle, and who has been hammered by pressures and problems from all sides for decades on end.
Political matters, don’t matter
At least, they should not. It is up to you and me to insure that is the case, because political division is just another means of targeting for control. Again, I admit failure in that, myself (sigh). While we should all agree to stand firm against the march of the globalist agenda (often behind organized stalking in one way or another), and though that often filters down to national and local politics, party-line politics should never come between a survivor and an otherwise would-be ally, such as another survivor or a possible helpmate. Don’t play that game… your plate is already full with enough battles for a lifetime… and likely, you’ve already had a lifetime’s worth of it. Enough!
