Not Just Paranoia: Digital Stalking 101 Terms and Definitions Explained

What if the strange encounters and technological glitches you experience aren't random but part of something more sinister? Delving into the world of targeted harassment, this episode explores neutral definitions of terms often dismissed by mainstream sources.

The term "targeted individual" describes someone experiencing deliberate, coordinated harassment and surveillance through various means. I unpack related concepts like "gang stalking"—where multiple people work together to monitor and intimidate someone—and "mobbing," the psychological abuse aimed at isolating targets within communities or workplaces. I also examine how technology has transformed harassment through "tech manipulation," using digital tools to disrupt daily life.

Drawing from my personal journey, I share how these experiences manifest in real life and the challenge of being dismissed as mentally ill when seeking help. My story begins with technological interference before expanding into other troubling patterns that match these definitions perfectly. While I can only speak to my own experiences, the overlap between established terminology and my reality is striking.

This shorter episode serves as groundwork for future, more detailed accounts where I'll provide specific examples from my years of harassment. Subscribe now to join me as I document this disturbing phenomenon and help bring understanding to experiences that too often remain in the shadows.

Ever felt like your darkest fears of being watched were actually true? Well, this powerful documentation pulls back the curtain on life as a targeted individual—where privacy becomes fiction and safety an illusion. This series stands as both documentation and resistance—a refusal to be silenced despite overwhelming odds.

Episode Transcript

Marie Destinee a La Grandeur (00:03):
So in my previous episode I
mentioned the term targetedindividual, stalking, technology
, manipulation, among many otherthings.
I wanted to go over some ofthese terms during this episode.
These definitions that I'll beusing are pretty neutral.
I used AI to basically inquireabout the different neutral

(00:30):
definitions that are out there.
However, there are differentschools of thought when it comes
to these terms, especially theterm targeted individual, or
also known as TI.
These individuals are oftendismissed as mentally ill or
psychologically unstable.
Most of the articles that Icame across when I searched

(00:53):
under it, they were prettydismissive about what these
individuals were actuallyexperiencing.
Now, I can't attest or speak toanyone else's experience but
mine.
However, I can lean on andappreciate how some of these
term definitions clearly definewhat I'm actually going through

(01:14):
at this point in time.
So let's explore this term,these terms, a bit.
The first term I would like tolook into is the targeted
individual term, but before welook at the term itself, let's
look at the term target.
The word target, target, issynonymous to a mark.

(01:40):
I personally believe that thiscould be a spiritual mark or a
natural mark, an aim, a focus,an object, a scapegoat, a victim
, and it even states that it isas an object of ridicule.

(02:03):
So that's what my thesaurus has.
These are some of the synonymsthat jumped out at me when I
looked out, when I looked theword target up.
Now, what exactly is a targetedindividual?
So let's just think about thiswhat if the people that were

(02:28):
around you, whether it be yourcoworkers, neighbors, even
strangers, weren't just ignoringyou, but they were actually
part of something bigger,something that was coordinated,
something designed to isolate,discredit and basically
destabilize you?
So a targeted individual, bydefinition, is someone who

(02:55):
identifies themselves as beingthe subject of deliberate,
coordinated harassment,surveillance or psychological
manipulation, often throughcovert means such as social
engineering, technologyinterference or organized group

(03:17):
behavior.
The term does not inherentlyspecify the perpetrator, which
may range from governmententities to private
organizations, criminal networksor informal social groups.
So now let's look into the term, some of the other terms Gang

(03:40):
stalking.
Gang stalking is defined as aform of organized harassment
involving multiple individualsacting in concert to surveil,
intimidate or destabilize atarget.
Another term that's used whenthere's a lot of individuals

(04:07):
basically stalking you andthat's defined as psychological
abuse or bullying by a group,often in workplaces or
communities, aimed at isolatingor discrediting an individual.
And then the last definitionthat I'll go over during this
episode would be techmanipulation, and tech
manipulation is the use ofdigital tools examples such as

(04:31):
hacking, emf interference,ai-driven surveillance to
basically disrupt or monitor aperson's life life.
Now I believe that I'veexperienced every single aspect
of these definitions in termsthat I've gone through in this

(04:52):
episode.
I've basically experiencedbeing a targeted individual.
I've experienced gang stalking,mobbing and definitely tech
manipulation.
I believe, at least to the bestof my knowledge, I think this

(05:14):
all started with techmanipulation.
So, oh, I have one more termthat I wanted to go over, which
is psychological campaigns.
So that actually goes hand inhand with you hand with the
stalking and the mobbing.
So it's basically psychologicalabuse and it's basically
long-term efforts to gaslight,discredit or mentally

(05:36):
destabilize a person throughsocial and emotional
manipulation social andemotional manipulation and that
was the last term.
So, yes, I definitelyexperienced that as well,
basically, digitally, in person,with strangers, people that I
don't even know.
Again, these few episodes, thefirst few episodes, are just

(06:01):
introductions into what I'vebeen going through in my
experience, but I will actuallybe going through actual examples
of what I've experienced in thepast few years and I'll be
going into more detail andprobably doing slightly longer
recordings.
I think I would like to keepthe recording short so that it's

(06:25):
just easy to listen to, andthen I can split different
topics up that way.
So again, once again, thank youfor listening.
I'll see you in the nextepisode.
