Mapping Stalking Networks

A fellow victim of organized stalking from Canada with whom I keep in touch is doing some interesting and important work with regard to delineating and understanding major organized stalking networks. She collects names of and basic information about persons known to be actively participating in these illegal networks. She then inputs the data into a computer program and gets a printout called a Social Network Engineering Diagram (SNED) that maps out the relationships between the various individuals in visual form. You can see an example of this and read about what she’s doing by going to her recent blog post titled “Who’s Who In Organized Stalking in Canada” that can be found at http://organizedstalkingandcyberstalking.blogspot.com.

By comparing notes and sharing information with Dr. John Hall and numerous other victims of the Central Texas organized stalking ring that’s targeting us (some in other states), we are gradually amassing large amounts of data on this gang that we’d like to map out using my friend’s program. She has kindly offered to help us do this, so we are currently collecting information on persons known to be connected to this group for inclusion in our analysis.

As far as instructions to victims, I’ll just rephrase slightly what my friend has written on the subject. If you know who any of your stalkers are, even if it’s just partial names or pictures, please send me this information at kamaudocs at gmail dot com. You can also save us valuable time by Cc’ing your information to my friend at antiorganizedstalking at gmail dot com. Any additional information you can provide on your stalkers is also important, especially their locations, occupations, functions within the gang, and important connections to things like law enforcement, legal or medical professions, the equestrian world, celebrities, the media, government, the military, banking, pilots, a particular church or religion, or real estate.

At the same time that I’m asking for this information on known stalkers, I also want to assure you that anything you pass on to me will be kept confidential. We will not be publishing or posting your information as my friend did in the example on her blog.

The purposes of these SNEDs are to show the connections that exist between perpetrators and to collect evidence to explain and document these connections. Any evidence would of course be turned over to any investigation or public inquiry in a way that takes the safety of the victims who provided the information into account.

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for victims of organized stalking to share their information. You may know a critical fact that links important organizations or people and not realize it! As my friend notes, any information is helpful, but we do understand that many of you simply don’t know your stalkers or know why you’re being targeted. To those of you in that situation, I ask you to consider contacting us anyway with whatever you do know. I can tell you for a fact that in every case I’ve had so far where a true victim of organized stalking contacted me about their plight, I’ve been able to tell them at least one thing about their situation that they hadn’t know about or realized before, and they’ve been able to provide me with information they didn’t realize they had!

I’ve been explaining to fellow victims for some time that we each have a piece of a very large puzzle and that instead of fitting neatly together, our pieces overlap. I believe SNEDs provide a way for us to be able to analyze and understand that overlap. The more victims who are willing to share their information, the more meaningful our analyses will be, and the quicker (hopefully) we will all be able to get relief when law enforcement is able to start identifying and prosecuting first the stalking gang ringleaders and then the participants.
