Fabric Scrap

 


Much of Central Texas is currently experiencing conditions of extreme drought. As a result, we have much less grass cover than normal, with many areas of exposed soil that are experiencing erosion.

The yard around my house contains a great deal of fill dirt that was added when the house was built to lessen the slope it's built on, so our yard in particular is eroding especially badly right now in areas of little grass cover.

I recently spotted the top of this little scrap of fabric sticking out of the ground and pulled it out because I was curious a[bout it. All but the exposed top were covered in dirt, so I washed it.

The thing is, even though it was found shallowly buried in my yard, I don't recognize it at all. Which, knowing some things I know now, makes me even more curious about it. It's a very sheer fabric, like part of a scarf or an overlay, or perhaps from a pair of stockings or tights, The colors are quite bright.

If anyone recognizes this fabric, please leave a comment here. I have the comments set for moderation, so your information won't be published, instead remaining private for me to pass on to the appropriate law enforcement agencies if need be. My hope is that someone who is a member of law enforcement will recognize it.

Rerun

 

It's been a year since I posted the information below and we now have a federal administration that 1) hates the FBI, and 2)advocates strongly for using the death penalty, so I think it's time to rerun the following information.


"Cyber Stalking Leading to Death" will get you life in jail!

 My friend Medawar has published a new post that I am sharing here with permission. I must point out that because this stuff is done primarily by computers and phones, law enforcement is able to trace who accessed what when.

I will repeat the important link Medawar provides in text form at the end of this post to prevent messing with it. Here then is his post in its entirety for your consideration.

"Cyber Stalking Leading to Death" will get you life in jail!

 There has been a successful Federal prosecution for this crime, details now released by the FBI. It is worth noting that this was effectively also a gangstalking case insofar as the primary defendant was found to have had help on the night when things progressed to the actual killing and, given the intensity of the stalking (and blackmail attempts) which preceded this, it's quite likely that he would have sought to share the workload before this.

(Note to police, FBI and NCA: if a victim is alleging offences that seem like an impossible amount of work for a single offender, you must give weight to the possibility of conspiracy and/or common purpose as well as that the victim is simply mistaken. The latter course will only reduce your workload and help your career if it is really true: if the victim turns out to be correct you've just blown away your career, reputation and pension. The safest course is to check for this kind of thing, because it's always going to be more common than suggested by official statistics (which are primarily designed to get your political bosses re-elected).

No mention is made of sentences for the two known accomplices, which may indicate either that they still face further local charges in Independence, Missouri, or that they felt the need to cut a deal with the Federal authorities. Had they been proved to have assisted with the cyber-stalking phase of the case, they could easily have faced the same penalty. 

This highlights the enormous risks being run by anyone playing even a minor role in stalking, gangstalking and cyber-stalking offences, because simply doing what you are told by the sort of person likely to become head of such a gang, you are making yourself legally responsible for the actions of someone not in their right mind!

There's more than one Federal law these days that can be used to prosecute such cases, depending largely on whether or not the abuse of computer technology was involved (bugs, spyware, tracking devices, and tracking apps on the victim's phone all count and not very many stalking gangs fail to use at least one of those!) Even when it's all done by word of mouth, it's still a conspiracy to deny rights and when that results in death (or kidnapping) the penalty can be life imprisonment or death, if the current administration is minded to permit the latter.

In the United Kingdom there is no such thing as a Federal crime; just varying degrees of severity or public interest which might divert a case from Crown or Sheriff's court to the Old Bailey or the Court of Sessions. But there is a an over-arching principle that participants in a conspiracy share responsibility for what the conspiracy does and there is also a law of Common Purpose, which requires even participants in a spontaneous offence to share responsibility for its outcome. Beyond that, a gang member can be and often is, charged with "assisting an offender in..." whatever the crime was. 

The cosy feeling of security in being a gang member or going along with workplace bullying is a legal illusion, because by doing so you make yourself responsible for the final outcome of that activity, however dreadful that might be. And the dreadfulness of the outcome is determined by the most psychopathic or sociopathic personality within the gang, or workplace. Everyone accosted by a bully or participant in a feud of any kind, needs to ask themselves the simple question: "what's the worst thing this person might do?" before doing anything that might help them do it.

There's probably at least a dozen followers in jail for every leader who managed to get himself jailed rather than letting someone else go to jail for him.
