Home My WebLink About2016-11-01 CorrespondenceMmTrr� 5f(1) Marian Karr From: Joshua Hotchkin <joshua@copblock.org> Sent: Friday, October 21, 2016 12:40 PM To: Council Subject: Iowa City Housing Inspections Endanger Tenant Lives Earlier this year I experienced one of the most horrific ordeals imaginable - a house fire. I managed to get the fire out on my own, at it's source, which was the homes breaker box. This was followed by weeks of being displaced and completely frazzled, after which I was told that the fire had started as the result of an old, low quality breaker box that was not wired properly or to modem code. Over the years this house has received its regular inspections by the Iowa City Housing Inspectors.Despite the breaker box, as well as other issues discovered by electricians, the home had passed again and again for decades despite the issues. When the new breaker box was eventually installed, once again the inspectors came out to check the work 'for safety. And again it passed. Last week as temperatures lowered, I went to turn the furnace on. It did not. Yesterday a worker was in my home (YET AGAIN!) to check the furnace and discovered that the reason it was inoperable is because there had been wiring flaws in the new breaker box. Yeah, the one that just passed inspection. Today I called Stan Laverman, the Chief Housing Inspector of the City of Iowa City. I will admit up front, I was not the most pleasant conversationalist. But things got worse as Stan became the Fred Astaire of dancing around my concerns and accusations. "We only enforce code." Oh, then your inspections are not to provide safety? Then why do you tell people you must regularly intrude into their homes for their safety? There were other threadbare responses as well, but I am already belabored of them without further repetition. But what it comes down to is this. Stan and the housing inspection unit are not here for your safety. They are here to protect the interests of landlords. When the inspectors give the thumbs up on a property, there is reasonable expectation by the owner and tenants that the property is safe. While the technical definition of their job is actually little more than to enforce code, I think we can all agree that the reason we even condone such a public service is because we believe their duty is to actually keep us safe. So when the inspector tells the landlord that everything is hunky dory, it is understandable that they believe this to mean that the homes electrical systems are safe. And if it turns out that they were not, and an electrical fire occurs, the homeowner will use these passed inspections to show that they were up to standards, thus eschewing much of the liability for damages to tenants lives and property. If you are able to follow the twists in that logic then you can clearly see that the chief function of home inspections are to protect homeowners from liability for safety issues that occur on their property. This puts tenants like myself in danger, as well as tying our hands legally from any restitution. The fix is in, folks. Whether through incompetence, corruption or flawed systematic premises the housing inspectors put lives in danger to raise the bottom line for landlords. And Stan Laverman doesn't really care. He's just doing his job. -Joshua Scott Hotchkin 5f(2) Marian Karr From: Melyssa Jo Kelly <lissiejokelly@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2016 5:31 PM To: Council Cc: Geoff Fruin; Simon Andrew; Inside Out; info@cwjiowa.org; latisha-mcdaniel@uiowa.edu; kendra-malone@uiowa.edu; Henry Harper Subject: Fwd: Recommendations for Police Chief Search Committee Dear Councilmembers, I am concerned that Iowa City's national search for our new Chief of Police (to date) is problematic in two important areas: 1) Geoff Fruin's decision not to collect demographic data from applicants How can the city achieve a racially, ethnically, culturally diverse, multilingual applicant pool if consultants and staff are not privy to this information? As an EEO employer, it behooves the city to collect demographic data in order to ensure that we have an acceptable pool from which to select semifinalists, finalists, and the new chief. 2) His decision to limit participation from community members I wrote at length about this issue and Geoff replied to me (please see our correspondence below). I appreciate the importance of getting feedback from the individuals on the committee that interviewed the four semifinalists. However, I believe that another committee ought to be convened as well. I do not think that a "public meet and greet" of finalists is sufficient. I (and many others) would be bitterly disappointed if a recruitment process that started with a remarkable call for major policing reforms ended without: drawing its finalists from a diverse applicant pool allowing more community-based organizations and local leadership from Iowa City's communities of Colour (especially more Black leaders) a chance to conduct in-depth interviews with candidates and to have a voice in the selection process. Please, take the time to do the right thing. Please do not pretend that "doing outreach" is anything more than a means to an end. It, in itself, is not an achievement. We must ensure a bonafide, legitimate, diverse applicant pool. (No one at city is divulging info on semi-finalists at this time.) And, we must enable communities of Colour -- especially those who have been harmed by ICPD officers -- to play a powerful role in the selection process. If Geoff and his colleagues, especially those in Human Resources, do not understand why this is critical, please help them raise their awareness. Iowa City is now home to Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURD) the local chapter of a national organization dedicated to helping white people dismantle white supremacy, and work toward social justice. I am confident that SURJ would be pleased to offer in-service training to assist in any way possible. Thank you for your consideration.

My goal in establishing the interview panel was to ensure that multiple community viewpoints and perspectives would be represented in the room while our semi-finalist candidates are being asked questions about their background, leadership abilities and views on policing issues. I feel it is important for a representative group of employees and professional colleagues, who will be working with the next Chief to strengthen our community, to have a role in the interview process. Similarly, I feel it is important that the community at -large is represented as well. While not all voices and perspectives can be represented in small group like this, I feel the team that was assembled meets the goal of involving multiple community viewpoints and perspectives. I understand your concern appreciate your willingness to share it with me. By day's end the interview panel will have concluded its work and we will move to a finalist stage. At that time there will be an opportunity for anyone in the community to meet the final candidates and share their thoughts with me before I reach a decision. Again, thank you for sharing your concerns. I know you are deeply invested in this matter and I appreciate your thoughts.

I have some concerns regarding the current stage of the selection process: I understood that community-based interview committees would conduct oral examinations. However, the committee roster on the website is almost entirely comprised of city employees and appointees, plus the county attorney and university public safety director (both in the criminal justice system), and an elected school board official. Only one church and one community organization are represented. Even more problematic, important local leaders who are fighting against racism in Iowa City are absent, e.g., Royceann Porter, Latisha McDaniel I Kendra Malone and the department's own Henri Harper. Further, there is no representation from Somalian, Congolese, Sudanese, or other African communities; neither is Latino/Hispanic community input included. I recommend contacting Iowa City's Center for Worker Justice of Eastern Iowa, which serves a significant number of members of both of these communities. With the republican presidential candidate's incessant attacks against immigrants, this is more important than ever. Since his campaign is anti -Muslim, Islamic community leaders' input is invaluable. In addition, we need members of university student groups. I also urge you to include participation from Rape Victim Advocacy Program staff. We must ensure candidates have expertise in best practices for sexual assault and domestic violence investigations. Finally, InsideOut Reentry can address issues of importance to ex -offenders and their families. A heretofore thoughtful recruitment process ought not be marred now. Please create an additional robust committee that is more inclusive, in order to better represent the urgent needs of Iowa City s communities of colour, address violence against women and girls, and understand the impact of incarceration. Thank you for your prompt attention to these critical community concerns.

(Date) Greetings Iowa City Leadership, I write today in the interest of fostering a broader understanding of the context of your/our efforts at making Iowa City a model city in terms of developing a just and sustainable community. First, my understanding from recent news is that you've been taking our requests for Social Justice and Racial Equity seriously. Thank you for being responsive. My hope is that Iowa City will continue to move along this much -welcomed vector of change. Second, I ask that you please continue to do your very best to find the ICPD chief who is most qualified and with the strongest energy to help Iowa City truly become a city in which all feel served and protected, and welcomed in full membership. And I ask that that chief be given a clear vision of justice we are seeking, along with the necessary resources to implement that vision into reality. Third, I want to assert that much of the news we've recently endured has a very strong connection to this ICPD search process. When we see governments allowing white gum -wielding ranchers to go free after their social and ongoing environmental damage in the Oregon Wildlife Refuge, in contrast to peacefully -protesting Native Americans and their allies being subjected to military -attacks for wanting to protect their environment from a corporation intent on endangering the waters of ND, SD, IA and IL, it is evident that government there supports corporate interests, and does not support the people -- in fact are perpetuating a centuries-old racist agenda, which will ultimately be this nation's dissolution. When we see the national candidates for president and senate, most of whom people have luke-warm feelings at best, or misgivings about insincere voting between lesser evils, it is evidence that government at that level is not designed to respond to the people. My request is that the leaders of Iowa City continue to grow in your commitment to truly being responsive for the people in this city, and remain strong against invitations to join in corporatist and imperialist policies, in which people are governed over as governing is neglected with respect to bad corporate actors who would push social and environmental externalities onto certain communities, or onto future generations. I also hope we can redouble our efforts to attract good corporate actors. My fourth request, seemingly unrelated, but actually connected, is that Iowa City begin a dialog about using approval voting or another alternate method instead of plurality voting, as the former allows the voters a much greater control with respect to expressing their sincere voting choices. This would be one small but important step toward bringing a better level of democratic representation to Iowa and this nation. Thank you for your time.

I appreciate your continued interest in the Police Chief search process. As always, feel free to call or email anytime you have questions or additional comments. Best, Geoff Fruin City Manager I City of Iowa City P: 319.356.5013 Web I Facebook I Twitter From: Amanda Owen Van Horne [mailto:ajowen@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2016 7:17 PM To: Council; Geoff Fruin Subject: Racial Justice Priorities in ICPD chief hiring Dear Geoff and Jim, I am writing to express my appreciation for your work on racial justice in our community and in particular with regard to the selection of the new police chief. As we have watched events unfold, concerns about racial disparities associated with policing having taken on national importance. Plays, like Black & Blue performed at Riverside and Every 28 hours at the Darwin Turner Action Theatre, have drawn local attention to these concerns. I am grateful that concerns about racial justice were a part of the ad and included in the questions posed during the written screening. I am hopeful that these questions were also posed in the oral interviews with semi-finalists. I have heard Jim speak in the past at city council meetings about the concerns so I know it is an area he is already attentive to. That said, I think that having citizens express their concerns shares the fact that community as a whole is also attentive to these issues. With this in mind I want to comment on the upcoming decisions regarding the police chief search in Ioa City. In particular I want to reiterate in writing, for the whole city council, something that I said to Geoff on the phone. There are many competing priorities in selecting someone to be in a position of leadership at this level: managerial style, communication skills, prior experiences in similar towns, personality, and perceived ability to work with other leaders in the city. I am writing to ask that a clear priority be placed on someone who is committed to implementing the solutions proposed by Campaign Zero within the Iowa City context: htto://www.joineampaignzero.orjZ/solutions/#solutionsoverview Local concerns already exist with regard to disproportionate representation of minorities in police stops and arrests. We also have witnessed challenges with regard to excessive use of force in the last few years. This suggests to me, that however much I would like to imagine that Iowa City is different, we are not. Full implementation of the Campaign Zero solutions may take time, but I do believe they could lead to a better environment here. I hope that a high priority in hiring will be placed on selecting someone who has a clear positive track record on matters of reducing racial bias and limiting use of force in policing.

I hope you find this information helpful, but if you have any additional questions or suggestions please do not hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. My contact information is below. We appreciate your concern for pedestrians along Hwy 6. The City takes safety of pedestrians very seriously and agrees that a pedestrian facility along Hwy 1 and Hwy 6 is much needed. In fact, the City has been constructing segments of trail in the highway corridor for a number of years. The City recently completed the trail segment from Orchard Street to Sunset Street (on Hwy 1) and has plans to extend that trail to Mormon Trek Boulevard in 2018. The City is also planning to construct the segment between Heinz Road and Sycamore Street (on Hwy 6) in 2021. While the City would like to accelerate construction of these projects, budget limitations require us to complete this project in segments over a number of years. Once these projects are complete, pedestrian safety and access to shopping districts along the highway corridor will be greatly improved. Thank you for your comments regarding Sunday bus service. There are several items that are currently being evaluated regarding our public transit services. They include: • Hours of operation • Frequency of service • Sunday service • Bus stop amenities • Routes and stop locations In the past Sunday service has been a difficult concept as the estimated rides per hour of service on Sundays is typically substantially lower than Saturdays which are roughly 50% of the typical weekday hour of service. That being said, we are taking a look at the feasibility of this service and evaluating other opportunities available to assist people in finding a low cost transportation alternative for hours when fixed route public transit with a 40 foot bus may not be the best option. Thank you again for contacting us.

I feel like so many people walk on highway 6 and are not safe from the potential of getting hit or killed. I feel like it could benefit all the residents of Iowa city. I think it would make it easier to get from point A to point B for people who want to walk or who don't drive. I would very much appreciate if this was taken into consideration. Thanks! ! !

We currently own the adjacent property 1165 and 1205 S. Riverside dr. as well as all other parcels on Ernest St. As the only adjacent property owner I would like to purchase this lot to enhance our property in this area. We are in the preliminary stages of looking at re-developing Ernest street. This land is zoned CC-2 and we would be bringing its use into compliance, no zoning change would likely be requested. This outlot would be used for landscaping, sidewalk, road access, greenspace and setback requirements. It is possible also for some limited parking and signage if the area is re-developed but this is not the motivation to purchase it. I can't foresee any situation in which we would attempt to build any building on this land. Any re-development plans are in the idea phase, so there are few details which I can give other than what was stated above. If any of these uses contradicts the City s interests or plans for this property, please let me know as I am quite flexible. I also offer to happily build a side walk along the south side of the out lot to help pedestrian access to the area as a whole. I am very interested in doing my part to enhance this area of our town. I share the city government's goal for a vibrant pedestrian friendly community. Any development or management of our property in this area will be pursued with this goal in mind. Please respond with any questions or concerns, my phone number is 319-594-6194 and my email is aaronhinckley52@gmaii.com.

Governor Reynolds, Since moving to Alton, Iowa on October 4th 2016, the police surveillance has intensified. In the 24 days I've been here, I have seen them more than 45 times. After talking to a man in the community about Organized Gangstalking, I have seen more than my fair share of SUV police vehicles. As I talked to this man, a police SUV passed by us on the streets and then made the first available left to make its presence known. Today, at around 2pm (October 28th 2016), an unmarked police SUV (license plate ending in 701) passed me and as it did, I made sure to look the police officer in the eye, so that he would understand that his presence does not instill fear in me. As a matter, i believe this particular police officer should not be wearing a badge as the expression on his face was one that told me he was there for me. It's that of anxious aggressive expression that police officers make when they intend to do bodily harm to their targets. Well, the kind I have only seen in movies, but for the first time, one that I have experienced firsthand. He, a Caucasian blond male in his late 40s/early 50s seemed to be enjoying it way too much. Then, at around 10:20pm, a marked police SUV (license plate ending in 703) passed me as I walked home from the convenient store. Alton is a small town, but the rate at which I am seeing police vehicles is very high and all related to Organized Gangstalking. I just made a call to dispatch to notify whoever was in the office of the Organized Gangstalking I experienced today and the fabrication of information that was told, in order to label me mentally ill on September 9th 2016. Well, if the stalking is going continue, then why should I not continue talking about it?

(Please type or print). 801 5th St. Signed: Sian City* IA 51101 Ph o I Ys (P t name): 712279-2940 Add Talophone Dear Officer Jim Pottebaum, My name is Sharmeen D. Jones and I am a targeted individual of a Covert Harassment Program that goes by the name of the Cointelpro Surveillance Program, Gangstalking, Organized Stalking, etc. I received my Master of Science degree in Animal Science with a specialty in reproductive physiology from the University of Connecticut in 2001. With a desire to see the world, I decided not to work in my field, but instead head off to Japan to teach conversational English for one year. However, because I fell in LOVE with the country, one year turned into nearly eleven. Though I LOVED the country, I found them to have very poor labor law practices. Because of this, I joined the union and became very active in labor rights' disputes in collective bargaining sessions and demonstrations for workers, Japanese and foreigners alike, who had been unfairly dismissed. It was necessary to join the union as companies never obeyed the Japanese Labor Standards Law (JLSL). They were infamous for not providing workers with the benefits to which they were entitled based on the JLSL and terminating employment contracts without proper notice. Without the union, workers were left without concrete job security. NOVA was the biggest eikawa (English conversational businesses) throughout Japan and it was my employer. Hired by NOVA in April 2003, 1 moved to Japan in August 2003. When I became heavily involved in labors' rights issues with NAMBU NUGW (National Union for General Workers) and human rights' issues with Amnesty International Japan in 2007, 1 was made aware of community stalking by police officers, people in the community, students (even my sweet little kid students as young as 5), and co-workers. It was not until October of 2015, after doing a Google search, that I learned of the Cointelpro Surveillance Program. From my experience with gangstalking, I believe it is a dissident cleansing where targets are placed in an invisible concentration camp and taken out of mainstream society by using psychological warfare to force them into joining Cointelpro, being institutionalized, or committing suicide. From my perspective, the world is transitioning into a fascist movement working under the guise of creating a peaceful society. Mr. William Binney, an NSA Whistleblower, explains why certain people become targeted individuals and how it works in the Youtube video posted below. Simply, we are transitioning into a global totalitarian government and anyone who threatens that government becomes a target. I find people like him to be a reputable source, so please watch it to be informed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3owk7vEEOvs&feature=share Gangstalking is often hard to prove because the tactics used look like everyday occurrences. It will be difficult for someone who has never experienced anything like this to comprehend, but I will do my best to connect the dots. I have tried my best to describe my experiences in a way that makes sense. I have experienced more than what is described in this letter, but cannot list every detail as they are too many and too vague. My only goal is to raise awareness of this system, because it is playing with the lives of millions for fun and monetary gain. Please read it with an open HEART and open mind. I never thought in my wildest of dreams such a secret society meant to destroy free-will could exist and I would be one of its main focuses. Based on my experiences, no stone is left unturned no matter the ethnicity, religion, sex, age, profession or family ties. All oaths to protect and care for the well-being of those targeted have no place in this system. No place is sacred. It has no shame. Everyone is made to play out their role. If you are a priest, you must do ill will do your church member; a dentist, to your patient; a parent, to your child; a teacher, to your student; or a police officer, to your community member as the subject of harassment could be anyone. The subject must at all times feel unsafe any and everywhere. The aim is to destroy peace of mind, comfort, ease of accomplishment, and self-worth. All accounts in this letter are based on my experiences in Orange City, Iowa as a targeted individual, since moving here in March 2016. Some references will be made to other places where I have also been gangstalked outside of Iowa. Gangstalkers The key players are basically, everyone and anyone you can imagine though I am not completely sure of how these players are chosen. Before a targeted individual begins to feel the effects of gangstalking, the strangers and the people closest to them have been gathering information about them for years, probably decades, because the average gangstalker does not become so overnight. Many of them are born into it while others become indoctrinated for various reasons. Immigrants, the homeless, criminals, and those just down on their luck are easy targets for recruitment. In fact, they are family, teachers, students, friends, post persons, attendants of all business sorts, and even pastors and church peers. Some seem to be willing participants, while others would rather not live this double -life. This has been through my observation and even more, the average person who is not a part of the system will have at least one person in their life or circle of friends who is a gangstalker which makes it very easy for them to gain access to targeted individuals. This is probably the most psychologically damaging component of the system which is to have the person you trust and LOVE the most betray that trust and LOVE. They know the most intimate details about your life and these are the factors used to send a target into complete darkness; this darkness being a place where friends, family, LOVE and hope no longer exist, if the system is successful in its goal to completely isolate its target for further psychological torture. Gangstalkers are kept up-to-date on the things happening in the life of the targeted individual, because no matter who the target comes in contact with or where, they all behave the same towards the target, based on how you have responded to their constant harassment. If they feel they have been successful at making you miserable, they all greet you with a smile when they see you followed by acts of kindness. If they have not been successful in their goals, they still greet you with a smile which is followed by more intense methods of harassment. They tend to be overly kind at times, in order to mask the tactics they use against the target in that target's daily setting. It is a collective effort on their parts. In my past experience in Hollywood, Florida, whatever the professors, homeless people, law enforcement, shopkeepers cannot achieve, the students are brought in to handle and vice versa. In this community, whatever my co-workers could not achieve, the community and police officers were brought in to achieve. If you have been blacklisted, when you arrive to a new place, the stage has already been set for you to fail; essentially, you are walking into a game of obstacles to overcome. If they are successful at moving you into a community of gangstalkers, then, there is a very high chance one or many of your neighbors have already been assigned with ways to harass you. Cameras and listening devices have already been installed and are always active. Furthermore, certain communities may already have designated places for target individuals where the script never chances; only the players. They design it to where you are completely dependent upon them and whenever they want, they can decide to help you or not help you. If they are helping you with a place to stay, they can kick you out, no matter the agreement. Whatever they give to you is never sincere, because it is contingent upon your compliance. Whatever promised will be slowly removed until you have no money, no place to live, or nothing to eat. They are often very crueal in nature. The Purpose of Installed Cameras 1. To watch your reactions to the bullying because you will most likely give a more honest reaction behind closed doors where you think no one is watching 2. To see what you use most often, so that it can be brought up in storytelling, made unavailable at shopping centers, or misplaced in/removed from the apartment 3. To see what you will be wearing for the day, so that when you just leave the apartment, someone will be wearing the exact same thing or when you arrive at your destination, someone there will be wearing the exact same thing 4. To know more exactly when you leave the apartment, so gangstalkers can take their positions to harass you on the journey to your destination 5. To take away your sense of privacy 6. To gain access to usernames and passwords, credit card information, bank account information, etc. 7. To gain access to knowledge of personal information like doctor visits, family visits, romantic encounters, good news, bad news, etc Essentially, the targeted individual's life is an open display 24 hours a day. Concerning the gathering of personal information and tracking 1. Hacking into my computer to see what websites I visit 2. Installing listening devices and cameras 3. Aforementioned would reveal usernames, passwords, social security number, credit card information, and other personal information 4. Edward Snowden, a formal employee of the National Security Association (NSA) revealed that computer cameras and speakers could be switched on, even if the user had them both in off mode 5. Cell phones (e.g iPhone, smartphones, etc) with GPS can be used as tracking devices to track your location and contacts 6. Vehicles with GPS can also be used as tracking devices 7. Gangstalkers who are relatives and friends collect information about you and pass it on to the system and other gangstalkers. 8. They text and call each other to give notification of your whereabouts and where you are headed or might be headed. 9. Owners, managers, immediate supervisors and co-workers who gather personal information from applications and conversation 10. Friends who were planted in my life and longtime friends who have been indoctrinated 11. Strangers who overhear conversations you have had with others and know your whereabouts by chance 12. Facebook is a great stalking tool. They have access to all your pictures, places you have been, and all the people you know. They use it to also do storytelling, for example, by posting an image of something you just discussed with someone over the phone, because the person who has access to the listening device in your apartment relays that message to them through text messaging, I imagine. They may engage you in conversation via the chat room and somehow work in a similar idea stated by someone with whom you just met for lunch. They may post a video of a song that states clearly in the title what is happening in your life at that moment. Other gangstalkers who you have never met will inbox you messages related to some recent occurrence in your life be it the name of someone you just met or a place you just visited. Once the system has collected as much information on you as possible, they begin to place themselves in every crevice of your life. All of these things allow the system to know your destination before you even arrive as gangstalkers prepare for your visit taking note of what you buy, who you meet, where you shop and eat, and your favorite hangout spots. Because gangstalkers are victims themselves, they have very little if any remorse for their targets. Many of them carry an air of importance, arrogance, and superiority when they are acting out their roles as gangstalkers, while others give a sense of haste in order to finish the task at hand because they are unwilling participants. For the latter, if given the chance, they would opt to leave the system. On the other hand, those who carry that air of superiority, enjoy very much living their double lives. When they strike, they do it with a mischievous smile. The following are some other things I have gathered about them: a. They are being paid for their participation in money or in climbing social status. This is one of the main ways, the system is able to control them. For example, many of the students who were my forwards, were on the brink of graduating. One student came to me and told me he had received an e-mail informing him he would not be able to graduate from the Biomedical Sciences program at Barry University because of a provision he had not met. However, he had been told months or a year before that it would not be necessary to meet complete that provision and all of sudden, there he was gangstalking me. There was a lot of aggression and arrogance in his energy, when initially, he was extremely pleasant and complimentary. It is how it always begins with them. They draw you end with pleasantries and finish you off with insults. For me, it was easy to tell I was the provision. b. They hide in the open. c. Gangstalkers, of course, play different roles than others. Some mild be required to do mild gangstalking, while others may be required to commit more severe acts of cruelty. The more you gain from this system, the higher your debt to it. d. Gangstalkers who refuse to gangstalk are gangstalked. e. They give small or huge acts of kindness somewhere along the journey to remove their guilt or to draw you in for insults. f. Not all gangstalkers know other members. Depending on the target, they are sometimes brought together to harass the target in a group. One technique they use is to befriend the target as a group. Initially, they are very friendly and giving, but the gangstalking by others continue and never cease. It is as if the target is being tested to see if there is a reaction or not. This is to test the cooperation or the ease of indoctrination. If the target cooperates with the system by not reacting, the group of friends continue to be friendly and even helpful is there is something the target needs. However, if the target displays opposition, that group of friends become less friendly, giving, and helpful. They become less assessable by not showing up for meetings or not answering calls or texts. They even start to show up in places the target frequents, in order to make the target feel uneasy as to say they know where the target is at all times though the target may not have a clue as to where they might be at any given moment. g. Some are sympathetic and sometimes let the target know by giving a genuine HEARTFELT smile or handshake. h. Others wish you would just go ahead and pull the trigger already, so they can focus on something else. L Many enjoy the game as they are by nature sociopaths, while some just like that James Bond feeling. j. I do not think all gangstalkers know the magnitude or severity of their actions. I think many them play their role without knowing what other methods are being used harass the target. I even believe that some of under the impression that system is trying to help the target. Some are given small pieces of information about the target, while others may know more details. In this way, the system can keep loyal members who will never question the actions of the system with the aim of making the target look unreasonable and/or mentally dysfunctional. k. They communicate with each other through mass texting, so distance is never a problem when getting information through to other gangstalkers. Gangstalkers in Japan used an app called Line that allows for group chatting. I. All gangstalkers are responsible for each other in that they must keep tabs on each other, in order to make sure everyone is playing their part. So, even if a gangstalker does not want to comply, he or she will for fear of getting a bad report and having to face the consequences. These methods are not only designed to harass the target, but to also keep the gangstalkers compliant. m. There is an endless supply of gangstalkers for one target which allows them to harass the targeted individual for life. n. Members of Cointelpro who do as they are told can be as good as they want to be or as bad. One thing I have found true about members of this operation is that men and women alike are given the freedom to sexually harass targets and they can go as far as they like depending on how isolated their targets are. o. Gangstalkers goal is to force the target into isolation. They would prefer it if a target stays inside to keep their lives from being disrupted. Imagine, if you're in the middle of cooking dinner and you get the text that the target is headed your way down your street. That means you have to stop what you are doing and rush outside in time enough for the target to see you suspiciously standing on the path. p. Those who genuinely LOVE the target and show the target support are gangstalked as well or pulled from the target's life as the goal is to force the target into complete isolation or submission. If the system is unable to pull that LOVED one from the target's life, they become targets as well. They could face demotions at work, receive slow service in places they shop, become ostracized by the community, or worse. When I lived in Japan, I watched them ostracize one of my 5 year-old students, because she expressed so much LOVE for me as her favorite teacher. They would not allow hecto play with the other kids and when they handed out snacks, they would often overlook her. They hurt the ones that LOVE the target, in order to emotionally hurt the target. It really is a shameless system. I have always wondered how people could allow great atrocities like genocide, slavery of the hands and ankles -shackled kind, or the Holocaust to occur. I have always thought that people are so wrapped up in their own lives, they are just too busy to care and then, they wake up one day in the middle of massive bloodshed and war, not knowing how they got there, but now I know better. It is not that people are too busy to care. It is that people know, but choose not to care for fear of losing what they feel they have worked so hard for and therefore, are consciously apathetic to the suffering of others as long as it does not hinder them from climbing the ladder of social success or affect their LOVED ones. The tactics used are designed for psychological warfare. At this point, based on my experience with being a targeted person, I am certain in most cases gangstalkers will expect my arrival at new destinations which is what I found to be true at Pioneer Memorial Home. If I make the phone call and appointments follow, on my arrival, all gangstalkers on the premises would have received notification of my expected arrival. If I have lived in a place for a while, then my destination can be guesstimated fairly accurately as my routine would make this possible. The only time I have ever been able to arrive at any destination with gangstalkers being clueless is on unexpected visits to new locations that are not on my usual path or near where I live. If I linger in those places, I have always noticed the managers or cashiers receiving phones with changes in their behaviors towards me after hanging up the phone. On jobs I have had and targeted individuals have, based on over a decade of experience with gangstalking, members of Cointelpro are directed to do the following: 1. Sabotage work by giving misinformation, misplacing items, or not informing the target when information has been changed 2. Give hostile instructions 3. Reject acts of kindness from the targeted person or returning those acts of kindness with acts of ill -will 4. Give the targeted person little or no opportunity to offer assistance where the offer of assistance is almost always declined only to be followed by a hostile directive to perform a task that is trivial, not urgent or interferes with a task set to be performed at that moment 5. Make physical contact by either bumping into or brushing up against the target in some hostile or vile manner 6. Obstruct the targets path 7. Do storytelling which includes giving information about the targets life through discussing recent events that may or may not have happened in the gangstalkers life, but that bear a strong resemblance to what recently took place in the targeted person' life 8. Harass on sexual nature either by making physical contact or inappropriate comments 9. Give praise on doing a good job to everyone over a period of time intentionally making sure the target never receives such praise 10. Gaslight or deliberately give misinformation, in order to get the target to perform an unnecessary task 11. Listen very carefully to what the target says and texting that information to other gangstalkers during work hours 12. Whisper about the target, in a way that the target knows he or she is being discussed 13. Use language to imply threats of violence or death Depending on location, members, and resources, tactics vary from location to location. What has been aforementioned applies to my experiences at Pioneer Memorial Home in Orange City, Iowa. The goal of gangstalkers is to humiliate, discredit, degrade, devalue, and dehumanize the target into a feeling of isolation and ultimately, depression. It is a good thang I am very confident in who I am and know I will always have GOD's LOVE or else all of this nonsense would have possibly worked. The information to follow will describe events orchestrated by members of Organized Stalking that have happened at Pioneer Home Memorial, in the community, and in places I have visited in Orange City, Iowa. These events will implicate police officers, but in no way is this meant to demonized the police force which is one the major tactics of gangstalkers. When gangstalkers make contact with targets, they tend to speak ill of police officers and give directed conversation about police officers, in order to taunt the target as well as instill fear and hatred in the HEART of the target. This is done to keep the target from retaliating against their gangstalkers and to cause the target to lose all hope of beating this system because the police department, for many, is the last ray of hope. If police officers are members or Organized Stalking, then if you cannot call on them for help, then who can you call? For many targets, once they begin to feel no one can help them, I think this is when the mental breakdown begins. At this point, I think they feel hopeless with only three choice staring at them: becoming members of Cointelpro, having a mental breakdown, committing suicide, and while Cointelpro does not like to reveal this outcome, committing homicide. I have written about this in other letters I have constructed, but it was not until I read about Myron May's suicide/homicide that I began to understand the never-ending mass shootings in the US. My guess is that a significant number of mass shooters are targeted people who have lost all hope with only one thing on their mind, vengeance. To the public, the victims are viewed as random people, but to the target, these are their gangstalkers and I am sure that many of them do not care if they are known gangstalkers or not as they have concluded everyone is guilty. It is so evident, especially when you read about how they start shooting in one place and by the time they are taken out or end things themselves, they would have committed homicide at two or three more locations; all locations where gangstalkers may reside. These mass shootings often result in suicide as targeted people know their fate once captured, so they take their fate into their own hands. I am going to say it as I have stated it before in my other letters, there is no way on this GOD's given planet that I would ever resort to suicide or homicide. You do not allow a system not of GOD to end your life in this way, because if you believe in GOD in the way you should, you know HE is the only one in control. You should know HE will always have the last laugh or say so. So, you do not take such a precious gift as life from anyone, not even from yourself, based on the foolish acts of others. If you fear man, then you do not fear GOD and those who do not truly fear GOD are capable of anything. Now back to my feelings about the police. Let it never be said that Sharmeen Jones has hatred or fear in her HEART for the police force. To hate the police force would mean to hate the world, because no man's or woman's wrongdoing in this game is greater than another. Everyone has the ability to put a stop to it. Just a thought - there exists a hierarchy in society where by which civilians are at the very bottom in the chain of command. In fact, if any one group called it quits, it would be hard for this illegal fraction of government to function, so with that said, we all carry the weight of responsibility on our shoulders for crimes committed against humanity in this fashion. In fact, if anyone holds the most power, it would be civilians, because without civilians, everyone's job becomes null and void. Yes, police officers have taken an oath to protect and serve humanity to the best of their ability, but you should not have to take an oath to make this your priority as well. As I have said before, I think the police take a lot of heat for crimes that many of us also commit against humanity. Besides, police officers who truly stand by their oath to serve and protect are great at what they do and they are still in the mix. As long as this is true, I will always seek them out, because I have been fortunate enough to meet police officers who stand by their oath since I began experiencing gangstalking. Patrolling me because I am a targeted individual does not negate that fact. Arrival to Orange City, Iowa I arrived in Sioux Center, Iowa on March 1� 2016 at midnight. I am now living in Orange City, Iowa. On my way out of Sioux Center to Orange City, there was a Sioux Center SUV pulling up to a stop sign as I passed by around fpm. My friends (not sure if they see it this way) helped me move into the house in Orange City. Some time after the move, the friend who is letting me stay in the house told me the key I had was the only key to the house. March 7`h 2016 — OC communications came to install connect the TV and Internet. The older gentleman was very professional, but the younger one was not. While here, he was way too focused on handling my personal computer. He was going for it as if he had a mission, but I told him I did not want the Internet directly connected to my computer. Yet, he insisted and I had to tell him multiple times no. From this I could tell he was a member of Cointelpro with one goal in mind, to install something in my computer that would give him easier access to it. He was rude when addressing me as crazy, after I made a comment about something that was innocent and trivial. He made other rude comments and before he left, I said, "Be nice and stay away from those crazy people." March 81 h 2016—The older gentleman returned with the proper equipment to make the connections as he did not have them the day before. The younger gentleman did not accompany him this time around. While here, he behaved like a professional should and left. March 101h 2016 - I went out into town for the first time at around 8:00pm to get some food from Taco John's and snacks from the nearest convenient store. I did not notice anything too suspect. March 15u' 2016 — I left the house about a quarter to 8pm and saw a police SUV turn at the traffic light at approximately 8pm near Hardees heading in the direction of Vogel. March 17`h 2016 — Visser Brothers Plumbing came to install a new toilet at the request of the person overseeing the house. The plumber's name is Jim. While in the house and on his way out of the door, he brushed up against my butt. After he left, he sent me a text message asking if he left his jacket behind. I completely ignored the text as I could feel he was up to no good. March 18`h 2016 — I decided to go to the American State Bank on Highway 10 to deposit the money I borrowed from the overseer of the house in which I am staying. I arrived at the bank just before opening and finished at around 8:10am. As soon as I left the bank, Jim turned the corner and stopped his truck right next to me. As he rolled down the window, he started taking stuff off the passenger seat. Before he could get a word out, I started walking away and could hear him asking me if I wanted a lift to which I replied, "No thanks." This was a form of gangstalking. The tactic is to send someone that you have recently met in one location to a different location where you are currently visiting, in order to give you the feeling you are being monitored by multiple people. It is made to look like a coincidence to anyone who does not know what is happening, but to the target, it is meant to inform the target that his or her every step is being watched closely. Gangstalkers always appear in new locations visited by targets, in order to inform targets every place they visit is known by Cointelpro. March 181h 2016 — March 26`h 2016 — During this time period, someone was entering the house while I was away from the house. March 22"d 2016 — I went to the library in town to scan some documents. I was assisted by a man who looked to be in his 70s who has silky white hair. He would otherwise seem like a gentleman if he had not been so abrasive in his attitude towards me. While helping me scan the items at the copier and giving me instructions on how to scan, just before he instructed me to hit the Start button, he asked, "Are you ready for some action?" Not really knowing how to respond to that, I said nothing and just hit the Start button. After doing so, he said, "It may not be the kind of action you are looking for, but it's what you are going to get" Ignoring him, I asked how much I owed for the scan and he told me nothing. This is also a tactic used in Organized Stalking. Members are intentionally rude to you, but many of them are aware they are wrong. So, to keep from being held accountable for their bad behavior, they shell out an act of kindness. As I was leaving after checking my e-mail to see if I had received the scan, I thanked him and said good-bye, but he was still giving me cold vibes. Feeling as if his statement was extremely disrespectful, I asked, "What did you mean by it may not be the kind of action you are looking for?" He seemed more pleasant this time around because a customer had walked up to the front desk. He responded, "I did not mean anything by it," to which I responded, "I wasjust making sure if you were being a gentleman or not." He responded, "I was being a gentleman," to which I responded, "Sure you were." As I turned to walk away, he said, "I'm sorry," as the customer walked slowly behind me. There is no way to always be 100% certain you are being gangstalked. Targeted people must rely on past experiences and judge how they correlate with current experiences that are similar. In this case, I would say, this man knew who I was before I walked in the door and was prepared to intentionally be vulgar which is a common tactic for gangstalkers. On my way back, a police SUV appeared near Arizona Street and 3`d Street as I walked home. March 22"d 2016 - I went to Pioneer Memorial Home for an interview, got the job, and started on the same day. Before I sat down, I knew Mr. Verlyn Netten knew of me, before I even spoke. It was how he shook my hand and how he greeted me which was not much of a greeting at all. He did not ask me to begin or to have a seat. He just sat in a cold silence. So, I just sat down and thanked him for giving me the interview, in order to break what felt like a room filled with ice. The job advertised for an assistant cook, but in the interview, Mr. Netten told me they decided to give the job to the current dishwasher and they would therefore need a dishwasher. At the moment he said it, from the inflection in his voice and the expression in his face, I knew I was being given that position as a means to humiliate me which is another common tactic of gangstalking. As a targeted individual under 24/7 surveillance, no matter where the target goes in this life, gangstalkers in that location will be given notification of the target's expected arrival. From my 1" day on the job, I gathered Mr. Netten, Ms. Heather Schoenrock, Mr. Art Van Riesen, and Mrs. Maria E. Sanchez were and are members of the Cointelpro Survellience Program. Both Mr. Netten and Mr. Van Riesen made a point to stress that I was a dishwasher to enforce the feeling of having to do a degrading job. Though this was their intention, I never once felt the job was beneath me. I was happy to have the job, because it gave me a flow of income. After doing so, Mr. Netten asked for Mr. Van Riesen's phone to take a picture of me standing with Mr. Van Riesen at the dishwasher. From my past experiences, I learned it is also a common tactic of gangstalkers to take pictures of targets leaving a location and arriving at a new one to send out to local gangstalkers and those at -large, in order to'verify the target's move from one location to the next. I assume it is a way of making sure they are targeting the right person. They are quite bold when sending information out about you. Often, they will text every word you say to other members of Cointelpro as you speak right in front of your face. This was the case on this day by Mr. Van Riesen. Later that evening at home, I noticed for the first time a missing pack of saltines crackers from the box. I finished off one pack, but left the other 3 because they were stale days before. When I looked in the box on this day, there were only 2 packs in the box. Immediately, I knew someone had been in the house and there had to have been more than one key to the house; that or someone was picking the lock. As I have written many times before, gangstalkers will enter the dwelling of the target to either take things or move things around. Because there are cameras installed in the dwelling, the things stolen or misplaced or things that the target have recently handled as to create the illusion of forgetfulness or to let the target know a camera is in the home by repeatedly entering the target's home and repeating the tactic over a period of time until the target has received the message. The target will notice some items missing immediately, while others will go unnoticed until the target needs to use those particular items. If you can recognize it soon enough, things will start to go missing the day after you handle them by simply picking them up or taking them off. They call this ghosting in gangstalking. It is meant to make you question your sanity and to make you move, if gangstalkers feel they can no longer tolerate your presence. For your information, I have listed the days I worked at Pioneer Home Memorial as well as the daily routine for breakfast, dinner, and supper. My days of work are as follows: March 22"a, March 23`a March 26th, April 1", April 4h, April 7th, April 10th, April 11th, April 15th, April 16th, April 22"a, April 25th, April 28th, May 5th, and May 7th 2016. 1 started work on March 22nd 2016. In April, I was given 10 days of work and in May, it was reduced to 8 days. I was fired on May 7th 2016 with no advanced notice. After reading this letter in its entirety, you will see I was harassed nearly every day. Gangstalkers instruction is to never let the targeted individual relax. As for the daily routine, the cook arrives at about 5:25am to start preparing for breakfast and the dishwasher arrives at about 6:25am. Breakfast is served at about Sam and finishes at about 8:30am. A coffee break begins for staff at about 9:30am and finishes at 10:00am. Dinner is served at about Ilam and finishes at about 11:30am. The afternoon break begins at about 12:15pm at which time the employees clock out. The cook arrives at 2:30pm and the dishwasher arrives at 3:30pm. Supper is served at about Spm and finishes at about 5:30pm. The work day ends at about 6:15pm. My main job was to set the tables for dinner and supper as well as wash the dishes. March 23`a 2016 - On my way to work, a police SUV met me at the corner of Florida Avenue and 5th Street Avenue, just as I was turning onto Florida Avenue at around 6:OOam. As we sat on our coffee break, Mr. Van Riesen asked me to sit next to him and it felt very orchestrated. He mentioned that he had driven Mrs. Sanchez by the house I'm staying in to show her where I lived. Why was that so important to mention? I felt there was something gangstalkerish behind it, so I ignored it. We all sat there and chatted. As we chatted, I talked about how I took the cheese wagon to school, referring to the yellow school bus. Everyone seem to like the nickname and got a kick out of it. I then said that we called the Greyhound bus "the dog." Then out of nowhere, Mr. Netten asked, "What do you call a cop car?" It was the second suspicious comment he made which led me to believe he was being intentionally inappropriate. It was evident we were talking about vehicles, but it still seemed to be deliberately offensive as his tone was so matter-of-fact. One tactic used by members of Cointelpro is to taunt the targeted person with their knowledge about the target being patrolled by police vehicles and it is also meant to instill fear of and hatred for police officers. No doubt it was connected to the police vehicle I saw earlier that morning. They took pleasure in it because when Mr. Netten said it, he laughed as he did. I responded with, "I don't think we had a name for police cars," but Mrs. Mrs. Albers responded, "There are names, but they aren't very good ones." So, I quickly went on to talk about something else, because I knew Mr. Netten's intentions were less than innocent. While Mr. Van Riesen and I washed dishes, Ms. Schoenrock asked, "Did you say your mother was dead," just out of the blue. I gave her a less than favorable answer and kept on working. When targeted individuals began new jobs or schools, it is the gangstalkers job to plant seeds of fear and threats. The word "dead" is often used to instill worry with hopes of forcing compliance on the target. Also, as Mr. Van Riesen and I washed dishes, he deliberately took his arm and brushed it up against my butt and then, as he was putting the trays away that we used to wash the dishes, he positioned his arms in a way that had me basically pinned up against the counter of the sink. Stepping forward would have caused me to touch him, so I tried to wait, but he lingered way too long. Finally, 1 said, "Excuse me," and I pushed my way out of the hold as his grip let up on the counter sink. One very disgusting tactic of Cointelpro is to sexually harass/humiliate its targets and this is done in varying ways. Targets are pretty much isolated from society which means they have little or no meaningful relationships with people. Friendships and romantic encounters are placed at a halt. Because of this isolation, gangstalkers believe targets to be desperate for companionship. In my case, I am constantly approached by male gangstalkers for sexual favors. Initially the goal was to indoctrinate me by luring me into a relationship with a member of Cointelpro. Once in the relationship, it would be extremely easy to control every aspect of my life as I would be too beat down, too desperate, and too lonely to resist any affection or romantic advances. Thank GOD I am too smart for that crap. Once the program fails at this attempt, they start to use tactics of sexual humiliation by touching the target in some inappropriate manner or using sexually inappropriate language in conversation, through text, or through social media networks like Facebook (Please See Picture 1). Because they have access to my computer and e-mail accounts, hackers have flooded my computer with pop ups and spam of a pornographic nature. In addition to this, targets can experience being sex trafficked which is a common tactic where a target will find themselves being passed from one gangstalker to another. This happens because each attempt at a normal relationship fails without the target knowing the real reason why. If they start to behave in a manner agreeable with Cointelpro, then the gangstalkers are allowed to stick around. If they do not, gangstalkers get what they want and leave, but the targeted individual is unaware this is happening thinking the relationships are not working out because of the normal reasons relationship sometimes do not work out. New gangstalkers are sent and the cycle keeps repeating itself. Essentially, if a target does not comply or realize it, they will be used as sexual favors for gangstalkers who themselves are hard up for intimacy as some gangstalkers are placed into isolation as well until Cointelpro deems them worthy of a relationship. Furthermore, it only works to Cointelpro's benefit to have both people in a marriage or romantic relationship members of Cointelpro. The only other option is to have at least one member involved who is able to easily manipulate the one who is not. For example, any time I have ever tried to make friends with someone who I knew was not a member, their gangstalking partner would always find a way to sever my ties with that person by pretending not to like me, needing to spend time with that person at times we had plans to meet, or just simply gangstalking me with storytelling in the presence of that friend. All methods are used to keep targeted individual out of meaningful relationships with anyone. Targeted individuals literally find themselves living a existence without friends, LOVE, or intimacy. March 26`h 2016 — As we sat on our coffee break, Mr. Van Riesen came in and was very aggressive about wanting me to tell him if Mr. David Van Peursem's wife was dead. He had asked me about it on March 23rd 2016, so this time around I just told him it was not my business and if he wanted to know, he needed to ask someone who had been living in this town for longer than a month. He kept insisting, so I decided to just give him the silent treatment. Finally, he gave up and left. When I returned from the afternoon break to set up for supper, I headed for the refrigerator to fill the pitchers with milk. Before I could, Mrs. Sanchez stopped me and yelled at me to give her a head count for supper. It was not something I had been trained to do yet, so I was completely taken off guard seeing as how it was only my second full day of working with no assistance from anyone. So, I stopped doing that and went out to set the tables, but then she told me she could not wait for me to set the tables, because she needed the head count right away. It seemed impossible for me to get her the head count without first setting the tables, because I had not quite learned the names of all the residents and did not know how many people actually came for supper. Though there are name tags of the residents on the table, I still had not understood the seating system, if everyone always came for supper, or if some name tags were missing. I was not even sure if a place was still prepared for those who did not come and if they did not show, whether or not we delivered their meals to their rooms. So, at that point, I was taken aback by Mrs. Sanchez tone of urgency to have me give her the number when she is the longest working staff member of Pioneer Memorial Home and she arrived one hour before I did, in order to prepare the meals. The cook would have to know the number of people expecting to eat before the dishwasher arrived, in order to know how much to prepare for any one dish. As I was processing all of this in my head, I did the only thing I felt I could do. I decided to take the names from seating chart in the kitchen though I had been told by Mr. Van Riesen it was outdated and compare the names on the seating chart to the name tags at the table. I gave Mrs. Sanchez the number and then she told me a few people would not attend supper because they called earlier to notify the kitchen of their absence. Even though it was written as one of my responsibilities, I was still confused as to why she could not do that count in the hour she was there before I arrived, if it were that urgent to have the head count. In fact, I did not mind giving her the number, but it was the anger and aggression in her tone that did not make sense to me. Earlier, Mrs. Rose Mary Te Grotenhuis (a night sitter) placed a container of dishes on the counter. She placed the heavier dishes closest to the edge, so that when I took the lighter ones from the container, the container capsized, causing the coffee mugs to fall and break. As I continued to work, everyone kept saying, "It's OK, we all make mistakes," and after it was said the third time feeling as though I was being blamed for something I was not completely responsible for, I said, "That was not completely my fault," without saying anything more. When I worked with Mrs. Sanchez later, she said, "I heard you broke cups?" At that point, I felt the need to explain what had happened and told Mrs. Sanchez that I could not take full responsibility for them being broken and then I asked, "Why is it such a big deal, but everyone keeps saying it isn't?" A tactic of gangstalking is to sabotage a target's work and repeat the offense until the target begins to feel guilty for something that was orchestrated for the sole purpose of arousing guilt. Creating fault in the target is a common tactic of gangstalkers, but if the target actually makes a mistake, it is rarely ever mentioned, until it is needed to support a false claim. Targets must be repeatedly made aware of set ups that are designed to tarnish their image. Upon returning home, I noticed that an intruder had entered the house and wanted me to know they had been inside. Before I left that morning at about 6:OOam, the light closest to the door leading to the laundry area in the basement was on. The middle light and the one closest to the wall were off. When I returned for the afternoon break at around 12:45pm, the one closet to the door was off and the middle light had been switched on. Shortly after moving in, the guardian of the house made a point to let me know there was only one key. So, I sent her a text asking if she or her husband had come to the house while I was away and she answered no; neither one of them had come to the house that day. Besides, if they had, how would they have been able to come inside the house with the doors locked and there being only one key? The guardian then asked, "Could it have been the plumber?" I responded, "Does the plumber have a key?" This was also connected to Mr. Van Riesen's comments about showing Mrs. Sanchez where I lived. A common tactic for gangstalkers is to notify the target of events that have happened or will happen. It is a tactic used to increase paranoia and let the target know the people with whom they work closely are gangstalking them. This creates a hostile and uneasy working environment for the target which is meant to force the target into compliance or leaving the job. March 301h 2016 — I received a phone call from an unknown number and when I answered it, Mr. Van Riesen was on the other end. Immediately, I asked why he was calling and he responded by saying Mrs. Mrs. Sylvia Busby (the cook) wanted to talk to me, before meeting me for the first time on the next day. Before he could finish, I told him to never call my number again. I continued with, "Why would you call someone who has obviously shown you they want nothing to do with you?" He was speechless and before I hung up, I told him because I never gave him my number, he should not be calling me for anything. Afterwards, I called Mr. Netten and asked him if he had asked Mr. Van Riesen to call me and he told me no. So, I proceeded to tell him I did not ever want Mr. Van Riesen calling me for any reason. I did not say why. I just told him because I did not give Mr. Van Riesen my number, he had no business calling me up, especially to introduce me to someone I was going to meet anyway the next day. Mr. Netten said OK and I got off the phone. A tactic of gangstalkers is to try to make the target feel as uncomfortable as possible by any means necessary 24/7, even on your days off. They can come up with all kinds of things to trouble the target when they know they are going to see that target, but they have to think of ways to also disrupt That target's peace of mind when they do not have physical access to the target. He knew from my body language and my silence that I did not approve of him on March 26`h 2016, but yet, he called me to introduce me to another worker which is not protocol. Even if he had called me for something that was truly work-related, I would have asked him to arrange it through Mr. Netten, but this was nothing of the sort. He was gangstalking me under the guise of getting me acquainted with a co-worker. Seriously? April 1" 2016 — When I arrived to work, I was greeted by Mrs. Busby. She seemed nice enough and the day carried on without a glitch. However, before the day ended, I asked Mrs. Busby about the head count. I told Mrs. Busby that Mrs. Sanchez pretty much bit my neck off when asking for it days before and I wanted to know why. I explained to her I knew it was my responsibility to do the head count, but if it was normal procedure for cooks to wait for the dishwasher to do the head count before they started preparing for supper? She told me no because if they did, they would have to wait for the dishwasher to arrive before they could do the measurements, mixing, and other things required for cooking which would not give them enough time to finish cooking if the meal required a lot of time for preparation. She then went on to say that Mrs. Sanchez was used to Mr. Van Riesen doing everything for her even if it were not his responsibility. Honestly, whether it was true or not, I only wanted to know the normal procedure, if that procedure varied from cook to cook and as the dishwasher, what role was I expected to play, in order to do my job effectively. It just felt as though Mrs. Sanchez was trying to bully me and based on my experience with gangstalking, I felt it was related to my encounters with Mr. Van Riesen. If a target shows opposition to one gangstalker, then another gangstalker is given instructions to be hostile to the target on their next encounter. Nearing the end of the work day, Mrs. Te Grotenhuis arrived to work and she kept coming in and out of the kitchen and just as we were finishing up, she kept stressing the words "black car," in directed conversation. She must have repeated it two or three times and the last time she said it, she was facing me. On my way home, a black Mustang crossed by path with the license plate # BHY 055 Iowa. It was the third time I saw that car, but I could not be sure if the driver was a gangstalker until this day. April 2"d 2016—An SUV police vehicle passed me on Arizona Street not more than a minute after leaving the Old Factory at about 7:30pm. April 4th 2016 — At around 3:12pm on my way back to work at Pioneer Memorial Home, a police SUV passed right by me not even 30 steps from the house. When I got to work, Mr. Van Riesen, was standing in the kitchen with Mrs. Sanchez as a way to intimidate me. Police activity was always around me, it seemed, whenever I had an encounter with Mr. Van Riesen. It was not his day to work, but I am sure if you asked him why he was there, he would have a good answer already prepared. Mr. Van Riesen spoke as I got closer to the kitchen, but I did not return the gesture. Mr. Van Riesen left within a minute, after I arrived in the kitchen. Mrs. Sanchez spoke with eagerness as soon as I got into the kitchen which was odd, because I was the one always having to speak first. She was a bit confrontational and asked if something was wrong because as she said it, "You've changed. You've become quiet" I responded, "I am here to focus on my work," and walked out of the kitchen. She was right, I tend to give verbally abusive people distance though I did not allow it to affect my work ethic or professionalism in the kitchen. When I finished my work, I made sure to ask her if she needed help. Before ringing the bell, I asked if she was ready, to which she gave a slightly hostile response. Throughout the day, she became very combative and dismissive. At one point, she moved the dishes I was soaking in the other sink to where the steamer was and said, we never use this sink in the evening. So, I asked why and she said, you just can't. I think she must have called Mr. Netten, because he returned but did not stay for long. He just stood behind me, walked over to the calendar, and walked out of the kitchen. Mrs. Sanchez left earlier than usual. I called him after Maria left using Mrs. Mary Van Gelder's (the night sitter) phone and ask if it was prohibited to use the sink and he said no. He explained that Mrs. Sanchez was very nice and I explained I was very nice too, but barking orders at someone was not very nice. I clocked out and when I got home, I thought it would be a good idea to go to the police station to see if I was being patrolled for some reason, because of the numerous times I had been seeing the police around. When I got there, the office was closed. So, I went to Don's Food Center. As soon as I walked out, some guy on a bicycle said, "Oh, you're not working today?" I turned and asked, " Who are you?" and he said he was the bread delivery guy who saw me working at Pioneer Memorial Home when he delivered bread there. Almost immediately, I stopped talking to him, because I knew I was being gangstalked. Gangstalkers are very in your face when they approach you. They never greet you. They simply say something in attempts to make you feel uneasy and in a way that suggests they have information about your whereabouts. On that note, I decided to return to the police station to wait for them to return as a young lady who was teaching a dance class told me they usually return from patrolling by 8pm. At around 8pm, a police officer returned. Officer Bob Van Zee spoke with me for about an hour. Throughout the course of our conversation, I asked him if his police department had received any information about me that would give them cause to patrol me. Without looking at anything, he said they had not received any information on me and where I often saw the police vehicles was a common street for them to be on. I told him I was a targeted individual of the Cointelpro Surveillance Program/Organized Stalking. I left my name, number, and address, after giving him a brief description of what I was experiencing. He told me he had never heard of the organization, but assured me I was not being patrolled. He seemed genuine and in the weeks to come i did not see as many police vehicles as before. Before I left, I took the e-mail addresses of the Chief of Police and City Administrator, in order to send them information about my experiences. After visiting the police station, I was hoping it would have to come to this. In the week of April 3rd and April 10`h, as I served coffee and tea, I guessed that Mrs. Sanchez was speaking ill of me to Mrs. Netten, because every time I would sit down, she would stop talking and give me the evil eye. Giving her polite conversation while we sat at the staff table, she would return the conversation in kind, but when Mrs. Netten would turn her head, she would stop smiling and just stare at me as if I was a long time enemy. I expected as much, so I was not surprised. When you stand up for yourself against verbally abusive people, I do not like it. If can abuse you, they like you. If they can't, then they don't. Mrs. Netten seemed unbiased as she took care to engaged us both equally in conversation. I had not detected a malicious bone in her body yet as she seemed to be an extremely fair person who tried her best to remain neutral. April 7`h 2016 —The day seem to go without hassle, but right as I was finishing the last few dishes, Mrs. Sanchez asked me to do her a favor. A Guatemalan young man she knew had been pulled over by police officers in Sioux Center, Iowa and was caught driving without a license. She needed a licensed driver to go with her to drive their car home for them. She told me I was the only person who could help her at that moment. Suspicious of her motive, I was reluctant to agree to do it, but then I decided to because I may have very well been the only person who could have helped her and if that had been true, I would have regretted not helping her. So, I decided to do it and if it had anything to do with gangstalking, then I would let GOD deal with it. As soon as we pulled off of Colorado Avenue onto 160, a police SUV was right in front of us. At that moment, she started to tell me a story of receiving a ticket from a police officer in Mexico for running a red light, when she was pregnant. We talked some more until we arrived to Sioux Center where the young man and his friend were waiting, but the police officers who pulled them over were nowhere in sight. Without wasting any time, I got in the driver's seat and drove them to Granville though I did not know this is where we were going until we got there. On the way to Granville, I asked the young man why he did not have a license, but he did not divulge the reason. His friend got out at some pizza joint on 160 and I continued on to Granville. Though I was helping him, he was not very friendly. I dropped him and his car off at what appeared to be his home, while Mrs. Sanchez waited in front of the house to pick me up. Before I got in the car, the young man finally thanked me though it did not seem too genuine. When I got in the car, I asked her why he did not have a license and she told me he did not have his papers. I found it all to be very suspect because I figured the police officers would have known that and not let him and his friend go. Then, Mrs. Sanchez told me the police officers probably made them pay money, in order to avoid being detained. She knew because she knows of a woman with four kids in Orange City who had to pay $800 for two tickets. The police officer watched and waited for her to get into her car, knowing she should not be driving. Then stopped her and made her pay a large amount each time, in order to stay out of trouble is what I gathered from her statements. My response was, "That's illegal right?" The entire time, I was laughing and giggling with her though I felt like she was being less than honest. In my case, gangstalkers always tell me stories to place police officers in a bad light, because I have so strongly resisted their efforts. In order for the system to be truly effective, they must make their targets feel hatred and fear for the police as I have stated before. This entire event seemed orchestrated, but there was no way to tell if it were true or not. Shortly after pulling onto Colorado Ave off of 160, a police SUV passed us just before arriving at my front door. Whether what Mrs. Sanchez was saying about the police was true or not, I felt this had everything to do with my visit to the police station on April 4ch 2016. 1 was seeking help from the police, but the events that occurred that day were orchestrated by gangstalkers in order to cancel out my efforts; Mrs. Sanchez being a major player. I should have trusted my instincts and told her to find someone else. Gangstalkers rarely have sincere intentions for targeted individual, especially for the ones that are their targets. There will always be an ulterior motive. I would suggest speaking to Mrs. Sanchez about this matter to see if what she is saying is true. April 10`h 2016 — On this day, I worked with Mrs. Busby and it just seemed like from start to finish, she was doing everything she could do to upset me, but I kept right on working. It was an easy morning, leaving Mrs. Busby and Ms. Rosario Vasquez (an assistant cook) with a lot of down time. When they were finished with their duties, Mrs. Busby turned to Ms. Vasquez and asked her if they should help me which I thought was odd, because I thought the rule was to help others when a worker finished with his or her duties. I did not say anything and while Ms. Vasquez tried to help, Mrs. Busby did not. As I was working hard and diligently, Mrs. Busby came over using an aggressive tone, "Are you finished yet? I need to drain this chicken." The dishwashing area was packed. There were dishes loaded, dishes in the washer, and dishes waiting to be collected. If you are going to demand I finish quickly, then at least have the decency to help me unload, so that I would be able to help you. About 5 minutes later, she came back with the same question and like before, I did not answer, because of the tone she was using. By this time, I was nearly finished. So, she took the ones that had just finished washing out of the washer, but she did not unload them. They were the last load, so I dried them and put them away. By the time I had finished, she left and went to the back. After I finished, I decided to drain the chicken for her and when she came back in to see me doing it, she was taken off guard. She did not say thank you, but instead said, "You did not have to do it." I responded by saying, "Why not, if I am finished with my job and have nothing else urgently to do?" At this point she told me thank you, but it was one of the most disingenuous "thank yous" you have ever heard. It was the same treatment I received from Mrs. Sanchez the week before which has always been unwarranted and deliberate. Furthermore, to show me spite, Ms. Busby and others would often pretend to help me, but not really give 100%. They would slow their work down to keep from helping me and would often leave the kitchen to send text messages from their phones. The goal was to cause disruption of my work, upset, belittlement, and humiliation in front of another co-worker, all common tactics of Organized Stalking. April 1P 2016 — The day went on and as I stood loading dishes into the dishwasher just after the coffee break, Mrs. Busby asked me when I was going to fill the bread tray, because she needed a piece to take with her before she left. There were still 30 minutes left before it was time to ring the bell for the residents to come to dinner. Even still, the required amount of bread was already in the tray which is three pieces and in fact, there were four pieces inside. I was told by Mr. Van Riesen on training day I did not have to have more than three pieces of bread inside the tray and if a resident wanted more, then I could just return to the kitchen to get more. Everyone who was in the kitchen at the time he said it agreed with him. When Mrs. Busby said it, it was as if she wanted Mrs. Albers to hear it. I did not go over at that time, because it seemed as if she was micromanaging and instigating mess all at the same time. If she wanted bread, she had the freedom to take the bread as there was more than enough inside. The bread container still had half a bag of white bread and a whole bag of wheat inside. So, when I got over there to see that no bread needed to be added, I added one more piece for the sake of argument. As I did so, Mrs. Busby was standing behind me waiting and then I said to her, "You did not have to wait for me. You could have taken the bread at any time. There is more than enough bread here." She paused for a few seconds and went on to say that she was waiting for me to fill the tray, because she did not want to take bread if I needed it. She was covering her mischief, because there was more than enough bread in the tray and in the container. She tried to say she had no idea about the amount needed and then Mrs. Albers jumped in to support her claim which was all untrue, as a note with the required amount and who gets that amount is posted on the front of the bread container. How could she not know? Simply, she was running mess. She could not upset me on the day before, so she was still trying to do it with Mrs. Albers' support. I could see Mrs. Albers head turning as she was dissatisfied with my response, so in support of Mrs. Busby, she stopped what she is doing to tell me I was filling up the pitchers wrong, as I stood at the water fountain. She told me the way I was doing it was wasting time, but I did not feel as if it was. I was filling it up in the way that was easiest for me and her coming over to give me her opinion was not her being helpful. It was her supporting Mrs. Busby, because she still had not succeeded in degrading me in the way she wanted. Mrs. Albers needed to find fault in something I was doing, in order to set the record straight. So, I explained to Mrs. Albers I tried it her way before and it was actually more difficult for me, so I started filling the pitchers in the way she saw me doing it. I went on to finish my responsibilities and finished with 5 minutes to spare long enough to tell Mrs. Albers and Mrs. Busby that micromanaging me was interfering with my ability to learn what to do without having to be told every step of the way. I figured that on any other day, Mrs. Albers could have very well been trying to help me, but because Mrs. Busby brought her into the mess, I could no longer see her advice as being helpful. I was being double teamed and felt the need to stand up for myself. In fact, I had never had an issue with Mrs. Albers, but that day changed everything for her. After that day, Mrs. Albers became distant and less friendly. Just before going home, I decided to talk to Mr. Netten about what was happening with my co-workers. However, he was not there. So, I spoke with Mrs. Netten instead. I explained by telling her everything that had transpired on April 10`h 2016 and earlier that day with Mrs. Busby and Mrs. Albers. I also talked to her about Mrs. Sanchez's hostile tone of voice. Speaking with care, I told Mrs. Netten I understood, as a new worker, responsibilities would be repeated by my co-workers as no one would know what I had been told or had not been told by other co-workers this early on. As such, I saw nothing wrong with being told repeatedly what task needed to be completed and how to complete that task. My only problem was how I was being told and that at some point, my co-workers needed to trust I could do a task without being reminded to do so. I understood that maybe they wanted to make sure the task was completed correctly, but if they kept constantly telling me to do something before giving me the chance to do it, how was I ever going to learn without instruction? As I was finishing, Mr. Netten walked in and I told him the main points. Both Mr. and Mrs. Netten agreed with me and told me they would speak with my co-workers about my concerns. Mr. Netten then went on to say he knew Mrs. Busby could be intimidating, because several people had problems with her. I responded, "I am not intimidated by her," and when I did, Mr. Netten flinched in surprise. It almost felt like he wanted me to feel intimidated by her and he was disappointed I was not. He went on to say she mistreated Mrs. Sanchez, because she was Mexican. In addition to this, he told me she did not treat Mrs. Vasquez very well either. I did not know what to say to that, because I never take such comments like that at face value. They reduce people to nothing and I had not quite gotten a read on Mrs. Busby to know if this was true or not. Moreover, Mr. Netten tried to excuse Mrs. Sanchez's behavior by saying she had to raise four boys and was a school teacher. As such, these factors of her life caused her to be aggressive in her speech. He continued by saying he understood if she too also seemed intimidating placing stress on "intimidating." To this, I did not respond because I was not intimidated by Mrs. Sanchez either, but felt Mr. Netten was stressing the point to make me feel so. I only told them that while I understood what they were saying, there is a way to ask someone to do something for you. As an adult, I know this and she should as well. They both agreed and told me not to concern myself with any of it. They would take care of everything and ask everyone to allow me the chance to find my way of doing things as they had all being given that same courtesy. They told me as long as I got the job done, they did not see any problems. I thanked them and left for the afternoon break. That evening as Mrs. Netten, Mrs. Sanchez, and I sat at the table, Mrs. Sanchez was hostile in her conversation towards me right in front of Mrs. Netten and Mrs. Netten did nothing to correct her attitude. From this, I knew I was being told whether I liked it or not, nothing was going to change. Though I felt Mrs. Netten was being neutral, in the back of my mind, I felt I was witnessing something more orchestrated and I was center stage. April 11`h, 12th, and 15`h — When the residents were being served, a few of them would ask for coffee mugs or utensils that I felt as though I had placed on the table for everyone. Initially, I thought it could have been a mistake, because I was new to doing that task, but when it happened the second time, I started to think something else was happening especially after noticing Mrs. Busby and Ms. Schoenrock search my face for a reaction when residents complained about missing things from their table. So, I started making sure to take a mental note of everything I had placed on the tables. Though I do not set the tables in the morning, I noticed missing utensils from where I sat at the staff table on April 151h 2016. April 15th 2016— Besides the missing utensils, everything seemed OK. I washed the dishes and set the tables. After setting the table, I wrote down the head count and placed it in its rightful spot. By the time I finished, there were more dishes to wash. There were not many, but when I finished, Ms. Schoenrock rushed over and collected them. She dried and put them away quickly. It was out of the ordinary behavior, because for the entire morning, when she could have helped, she did not. It was not apparent to me until he rushed over and grabbed the dishes before I could. It was only after I did the head count that her behavior changed and it was a change I would not have noticed had her erratic behavior not brought it to my attention. I was perfectly fine washing and putting the dishes away myself. It felt very much connected to what had transpired between myself and Mrs. Sanchez on the 26th of March. I overheard Mrs. Busby telling Mr. Netten about the incident with Mrs. Sanchez at the staff table and his response was that we needed to behave like a team, but why assume I was not being a team player. I was new and if Ms. Busby had relayed the message to him in the way I had explained, then why could he not see fault in Mrs. Sanchez's behavior? How could he not see that I was not used to setting the tables yet, needed time in figuring out how to do it and that Mrs. Sanchez's inappropriate tone of voice did not help the situation? Refusing to do a head count was something I never did, but it just seemed like my co-workers were creating problems, in order to make my job difficult and justify their wrongdoing. So, at this point, when anyone would come over to the dishwasher, I just told them I could do it myself, because I found they were intentionally helping and not helping with malice in their HEARTS which was affecting how well I did my job. Instead of placing all the dishes on the counter, though there was space for them, they would leave them in a place where I would not notice them. They started being petty in nature and I felt like they were siding with each other all because I would not allow them to walk all over me, all tactics of gangstalking. April 16th 2016 - As we sat at the staff table, during breakfast, Ms. Schoenrock asked, "So, how are things going with Maria?" I responded, "So, you heard about the problems we are having. I am not surprised as gossip is common in the workplace. To answer your question, things are better. For the first time, she was nice yesterday." Ten minutes before it was time to ring the bell (the time set to start serving ice), Ms. Schoenrock asked in a very loud voice, "Who put the bread on the shelf? I responded, "I did." Then with the fling of her hand, she said very rudely, "You, come with me" So, I went but not for that reason. I had to get the ice and while we were back in the room where the ice and bread are kept together along with other things, she started to speak and said, "Let's put the bread where it should be," but when I realized she was using the same hostile tactic that Mrs. Sanchez and Mrs. Busby had used, I left her back there and went to put the ice in the cups. After dinner was over and most of the dishes were washed, I asked, "Are you angry about something, because when you were asking me about the bread, you said it in a very angry tone?" Immediately, she started to say she was confused and did not kngw why the bread was there and therefore, she did not know what to do with it, but this totally contradicted how she was trying to treat me. She did not act confused. Her tone and directive said otherwise. At that moment, I asked her why she decided to ask me about this at the time I needed to serve ice and if she were confused, why not ask me why I placed the bread there? I continued to say I put the bread out because though there was enough bread in the container on the kitchen counter, the person having to serve bread in the next couple of days might not have enough. So, I put it out, so it would be thawed already if they needed some. Because I had come in several times to work with the container empty and no bread thawed causing me to use the microwave to thaw it and then toast it for breakfast, I wanted to make the job easier for the person who was scheduled to work after me. She then explained by saying if I looked at the menu, I would see not much bread would be needed in the next few days. Therefore, I did not need to thaw any out, but because it had been thawed out, it had to go in the container on the counter. At that moment, Mrs. Albers intervened and said we could always refreeze it because it had only been thawed out not many hours before. Then, I turned to Ms. Schoenrock and told her that it would be better if she asked me calmly about a certain action I have taken, so that we could figure it out instead of yelling at me. This made her angry, because she went over to where the cups were resting to dry and started to pat them in a very frantic motion while staring at me with a look of disapproval. Then Mrs. Albers came over as I finished also with a disapproving look. When I turned around, Mrs. Busby was to my right and Ms. Schoenrock was to my left as they stood therewith their hands on their hips as they stared at me with discontentment in their eyes. Mrs. Albers left without saying good-bye, while Ms. Schoenrock lingered around a little while longer. She asked to help with the utensils and I told her she did not have to, because it was the only thing left to do and I had no problem doing it. It was not that I did want her help, because if it had been a genuine offer, I would have taken it. I watched her several times deliberately leave dishes she could have put away, in order to avoid helping me, but because I was going out of my way to do it all by myself, she was forcing it on me. When I expected help, they rarely gave it, but when I became guarded because of the games, they pushed it on me. Ms. Schoenrock just stood there even after all the dishes were washed and put away. It was as if she was waiting for something and as I was using the disposal, she started speaking to me. When I looked up, she said, "You left the disposal on." I mean, she was desperate to find fault and point it out, even if she had to create it. She would not let up. It was so obvious she was deliberately creating problems that were not there, so I moved and let her turn it off seeing as how she needed a problem to fix. As she spoke, I tuned her out, because she was pushing for some kind of an argument. After she realized I was not going to take the bait, she left. I found her to have a physically aggressive personality as well. Throughout the entire day and the day before, she would calculate her steps and my movement, in order to intentionally bump into me. Initially, I thought it was by accident, because the kitchen is not very wide, but I soon realized she was deliberately being petty. So, on this day, when she did it, I stood firm and let her bounce off of me which is exactly what happened. 1 am sure she thought she bumped into a brick wall. When she apologized the third time for doing it, I just said, "That's OK." As I was shutting things off and preparing to leave, Mr. Bob and Mrs. Mary Van Gelder arrived for their job as the night sitters. I had never met Mr. Van Gelder before and when he entered, he said, 'There she is." He continued to stand in the doorway with a solemn look on his face, and when I said something to the effect of, "So, you both come to sit with the residents overnight?" He responded by saying, "Yes, we are here to keep them in line," but I felt that was meant for me. How do you keep paying residents who are well into their 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s in line? How could they get out of line? At this stage in their lives, I imagined they are really relaxed and easy going people who welcome good conversation and have a lot of good stories to tell. If that remark was indeed meant for them, I think it was very disrespectful as people who have lived to be a certain age deserve automatic respect, even if they do not give it. He went on to say something of how he would rather watch a game than be there and I responded by saying, "It is more important to give the residents your time as they have come here to live out their last days and we should make it as pleasant and comfortable for them as possible." On that note, he turned and walked away. I responded to him this way because it was honestly how I felt, but more because I found him to be rude. Mrs. Van Gelder stuck around and her conversation seemed quite pleasant until we moved it over to the timeclock. As we stood there, she looked at me and said with malice in her voice, "Don't step backwards. We wouldn't want you to fall down the stairs." It was very apparent to me that both Mr. and Mrs. Van Gelder were members of Organized Stalking. April 19th 2016 — I was expecting my absentee ballot to arrive as it had to be postmarked on April 18th 2016, in order for my vote to be counted. As with many important letters and packages, post offices I have dealt with before were infamous for not delivering my mail on time, holding it until they decided it was good idea to deliver it, or misplacing it. I had a feeling deep down in my bones it would not arrive until April 19th 2016 and it did. However, when I went to the post office and explained the importance of the postmark, they kindly postmarked it for April 18th 2016. As I have mentioned in many letters before this one, you can find Organized Stalking in nearly every vocation of life, but not everyone is involved. So, there is always hope. A police SUV (tag number 500703) passed me near the corner of 3rd Street and Central Ave SW around 1:20 pm on my way to the post office. It was the first time I had gone out for the day. April 22"" 2016 — Early that morning, I asked Mr. Netten if he had an e-mail address for Pioneer Memorial Home and he said he did not. During the coffee break, I told Mr. Netten why I wanted the e- mail address. I told him of the problems I had with Ms. Schoenrock and Mrs. Albers on April 15th and 16th 2016. 1 told them I caught them whispering behind my back about me and watched them boldly speak ill of me right in front of my face. I explained my feeling about most of the people I worked with in that I felt they were trying desperately to sabotage my work and bully me. For example, I felt Ms. Schoenrock, most especially had been trying to find fault with my work performance. I gave him the example of Ms. Schoenrock's unnecessary comments concerning the dishwasher disposal and attempts to deliberately bump into me. So, I moved and gave her the honor of switching it off because she was looking for a problem to fix. In that same conversation, I told him that Mrs. Busby and Mrs. Sanchez have all done the same thing. I continued to talk about the bread incident with Ms. Schoenrock and at that moment, Mr. Netten asked me to lower my voice. He did not want Mrs. Busby to hear our conversation, because he told me he did not trust her. I told him I was there to do the job he trusted me to do and would not allow my co-workers to bully me. He told me he understood and if I ever had a problem with any of them in the future, I was to tell them to talk to him. As we stood at the staff table, he told me that he knew Mrs. Busby and Ms. Mary Zeutenhorst (another dishwasher) both talked about him behind his back, so he understood how I felt. I left and started to get ready for dinner. It was time to start making the last preparations for dinner. As I was placing ice into the plastic cups before it was time to ring the bell, I noticed that some of the plastic cups I placed on the tables had been removed and when I looked up, Mrs. Busby was looking at me with a devilish grin on her face. She continued to stand and watch me as I filled the plastic cups with ice. When I got to one of the resident's place settings and placed ice in the plastic cup, she immediately came up behind me and switched out cups for one that did not contain ice and then told me that particular resident did not like ice. So, I put the cup back and told her that this particular resident never complained about the ice at which point she tried to show me the list of dos and donts for the residents which I had used as a reference point before. However, I was trained on my first day by Mr. Van Riesen and he did not mention her as one of the residents who did not like ice as everything he told me, I wrote in my book. Then, I told Mrs. Busby the list could be outdated because both she and Mr. Van Riesen informed me that the chart for the table settings for each residents was outdated. I found her behavior petty and on top of this, while having only 5 minutes to perform this task, she asked me to fill her personal cup with ice just after moving the plastic cup from its rightful place. It is a gangstalking tactic to be rude to the target followed by a request to force the target to do something nice for the gangstalker. This method of operation is intended to degrade the target's self-worth. After devotion, I asked the particular resident in question if she wanted ice in her cup or not and that I would be happy to take it away if she did not want it and her response was that she did mind having ice with her water. So, I relayed that to Mrs. Busby who seemed disappointed in the face of Ms. Vasquez that she failed at sabotaging my work. If what Mr. Netten said was true about Mrs. Busby not liking Ms. Vasquez because of her ethnicity, then if she had been successful at her game that day, it would have been a show of power for Mrs. Vasquez that would have been meant to make Mrs. Vasquez afraid of Mrs. Busby. It was time for supper and both Mr. and Mrs. Netten joined which was out of the ordinary, because only one normally stayed around. Thinking it was because of what I said earlier, I waited to see what would happen. Then, when supper was finished and as I stood at the sink preparing to wash the dishes, Mr. Netten walked over to me seemingly with purpose. Listening attentively, because it seemed like he wanted to say something important, he said, "You left the disposal on this afternoon." With surprise, I said, "I did?" So, I stood there for a while thinking back to the moment I know I turned it off and yes, I did in fact turn it off. I remember vividly turning it off as a spoon had fallen down in it. I remember carefully checking and making sure it was off before I left. So, when he returned with the dishes, I made certain to tell him he was mistaken. Continuing to speak on the matter, I reassured him by saying, I would definitely not have left it on, especially because I just spoke with him hours before about Ms. Schoenrock's wrongfully accusing me of leaving it on that past Saturday. As such, the chances of my making that mistake would be near zero. Suspicious of his accusation, I asked him for the time when he noticed it on and he told me about 1:30pm, but I had left the building at about 12:25pm. I explained to him that maybe someone was in the kitchen messing around, because it all seemed so orchestrated. Furthermore, how could he be so certain it was definitely me? He did not say, 'You may have left the disposal on." He said, "You left the disposal on," with conviction. I left him a note that listed all the things I had done before I left at the end of the work day stating, "Lights off. Disposal off. Tray emptied. Water drained. Fan off." I told him I would be checking these things thoroughly every time I left and making a note of it as I was used to smear campaigns. Why would 1 all of a sudden start leaving it on when I had not before. After everyone left, one of the male night sitters came into the kitchen and just stood there glaring, so I asked him if he wanted anything. He said no, talked a little bit and then left. On my way from leaving the note in Mr. Netten's office, he came out of the lounge area and asked if I was working the next day. I told him no and he responded, "We're allowing you to have two days off." I responded by saying, "Well, that's very nice of you. Have a good weekend." It was clear to me that Mr. Netten was intentionally covering up for Ms. Schoenrock or someone had deliberately gone into the kitchen and turned the disposal on. It was done to cancel out my accusations about Ms. Schoenrock and to stop me from informing Mr. Netten of anything that went on in the kitchen. A common tactic of gangstalking is to repeat the offenses made by gangstalkers, if the target should inform anyone about them as to silence the target. If the offense is repeated, it shows the target there is nothing he or she can do to stop it and in some cases, the offense when repeated is tripled to add insult to what seems like an injury. The job is gangstalkers is to persecute the target into submission. April 25th 2016 - On my way to work, a police SUV appeared at about 6:10 am at the corner of Colorado Ave SW and 4th Street. April 251h 2016 - On this day, Mrs. Busby would be the main cook and the one responsible for making breakfast. I was not at work for 2 minutes before Mrs. Busby asked if I had washed my hands which is something I always do and afterwards, put on gloves for extra guard. After explaining this to Mrs. Busby, I then said, "Stop trying to find things to tell me what to do." I continued to work and if there was something I was not sure of, I asked her. The coffee had been made before I arrived and I noticed it was not quite full, but did not think to ask about it. When Mr. Netten came into the kitchen, he noticed it and told me to always make sure the coffee pot was full as one pot should be enough to serve all the residents in the morning. I explained that I did notice it and wondered why it was not full, but realized that it was maybe because Mrs. Busby had had a cup of coffee. I made certain to say it, because it was at the same moment I realized it was probably another effort to sabotage my work which really does not affect just me, but also the residents. It gives the impression I am incompetent and leaves some of the paying residents without the amount of coffee they want. As Mr. Netten and I were having this conversation, Mrs. Busby interrupted and said, "I have to talk to you about something later." Immediately, I knew this was being directed at me, but I continued to do my job. As I was serving the toast, I could hear her saying something to Mr. Netten and when I sat down. Mr. Netten's behavior towards me had changed almost instantly. He became very disinterested in what I had to say and Mrs. Busby's behavior was questionable. I continued to talk as if I knew nothing of what was happening until it was time for me to serve the coffee and tea again. After returning to the table, Mrs. Busby got up and left and Mr. Netten became cold. So, I stopped trying to engage him in conversation. It was obvious that without asking me first what had happened, he had decided I was guilty. When it was time for me to clear the table, he stood behind me as I was at the dishwasher and slowly walked up to me to ask me to take the milk off the table. I did not quite hear him, so I asked him to repeat it and this time he said it slightly venomously. He told me weeks before to clear the milk first to keep it from spoiling, but not to worry about it now as was not an urgent matter yet, because it was not hot enough. It was not hot on this day. I did as he asked, though I knew he was giving me a clear order in the presence of Mrs. Busby due to my response to her that morning. It was obvious she told him what I said and he jumped on board like Mrs. Albers had to make the point that I would follow an order when given it. Now, though he was slightly hostile when asking me to clear the milk, I did it because well, he gave me the job. Clearly, none of this made sense to me, because I was found guilty before I was asked for an explanation as to why I responded to her the way I had and if, in fact, I had even done what she was accusing me of doing. From what I could tell, it was a show for Mrs. Busby's benefit. Furthermore, when I spoke with Mr. Netten about the problems I was having with Mrs. Busby on the 22nd, he did not attest to my comment when I told him I would not allow the women in the kitchen to bully me. As I washed the dishes, Mr. Netten kept coming in and out of the kitchen and standing in between me and Mrs. Busby, but seeing as how he was treating me, I could only imagine it was for her benefit, so my behavior changed. How was I supposed to do my job efficiently and effectively with that kind of harassment surrounding mel I stopped making the effort to be friendly and became as cold as the Antarctica in my words and silence. At this point, she realized she had convinced Mr. Netten of the picture she wanted to paint and started to be boldly trifling. Before I finished washing everything, she took one of the carts and placed it on the black mat that allows me to move with ease from washing the dishes and collecting them after they have been washed. I moved it back to where it was and when I asked her why she had done this, she complained of a pain in her hip and because of this pain, she did not want to have to walk around the cart. She knew I was still washing dishes and took the opportunity to be petty, in order to add insult to what she thought was an injury. I am not saying she did not have a pain in her hip, but she had never complained of this problem before. Now, it was time to set the tables for dinner. On this day, I recorded myself while I worked, because whenever I worked with Mrs. Busby and sometimes Ms. Schoenrock, plastic cups, coffee cups, and utensils would go missing from the tables I set. On several occasions on the days I worked with them, the residents would complain about not having something on their table I was sure I put there. At the very beginning I thought I was just making mistakes, because I was new, so I started to pay close attention of the things I put out and sure enough on the 8`h, 101h 11`h, and 15th of April, stuff went missing from the tables. The incident that occurred on April 22nd 2016 with Mrs. Busby concerning the cup of ice validated my suspicions. Recording myself setting the table was the only way I could think of to show I had placed an item on the table, if it were to go missing. When I finished setting the tables, I forgot to turn the recording off. Mr Netten saw the computer sitting on top of the piano and asked if it belonged to me. I told him it did and he asked why. I could not tell him exactly why I was recording myself seeing as how Mrs. Busby was standing nearby. So, I explained by saying I liked to record my work experience from time to time, but he later asked me to take it down as it would record people who did not want to be on the video like himself and Mrs. Busby who was sitting at the staff table. So, I immediately stop the recorder and went back to filling up the bottles of honey. We had coffee break and Mrs. Busby left. She returned when it was time to start preparing for dinner. There are days when Mr. Netten sits at the head of the table and on other days, his wife, Mrs. Netten, sits there. For dinner, she took his place and for the entire time she did not make eye contact with me and was dismissive even more so, after I returned from serving coffee and tea. I am in no way complaining about Mrs. Netten because normally she tries to be as unbiased and fair as possible, but she was not on this day because of what was being said to her by Mrs. Busby and as much as 1 like Mrs. Netten, I still think there was something wrong with her also choosing a side without first getting my side of the events. Dinner finished and it was now time to start washing the dishes and preparing for supper. After dinner, Mrs. Busby became even more trifling than before, because she could see she had succeeded at winning Mr. and Mrs. Netten over. Protocol is for one of the carts to rest at the edge of the island counter so that the clean dishes, silverware, plastic cups, and coffee cups can be placed there for setting the table for supper. I could not find the big carts as Mrs. Busby had moved them. I found one around the corner and cleaned it off. Mrs. Busby saw me clean it off to prepare for the dishes that I needed to place on the cart, but seconds later, she came to take it. I told her I needed it for the purpose just explained above. She then pointed to the other cart that was resting just outside the window where the dirty dishes are placed. However, I did not see it there, because I was busy washing the dishes in front of me and normally those dishes are placed on the counter as to free up a cart. She was right in this case, but things were being done in that kitchen to disrupt how smoothly things ran for me without slowing down things too much seemingly by multiple people. Because washing dishes requires my back to be turned away from the kitchen, I am not always certain of what is happening behind me or on the side of me which allows some of my co-workers the advantage of moving things out of my sight of vision when I turn around expecting them to be there. So, I moved the dishes, wiped it off for her, and continued working which is something she could have easily done, because there was ample space on the counter for placing the dishes even at the moment the cart was placed there. She was constantly trying to disrupt my duties. After everything was done and set up for supper, Mrs. Vasquez left and Mr. Netten came into the kitchen. I grabbed the honey bottles from the tables to make them half full as I had mistakenly filled them to the top earlier that day as told to me by Mrs. Netten. At that moment Mrs. Busby started to go on about how everyone makes mistakes and that it was OK, in front of Mrs. Netten. It was not genuine, but I listened for the sake of keeping things cool. As I refilled the bottles in the back room where the freezers are located, Mr. Netten followed me and took some of the bottles out to the table. Then a few minutes later, Mrs. Busby came into the room, took two guests' cards, and threw them down on the cart and said in a very firm tone, "Put these on the shelf in the box." She figured she had put me in my place and because there was more than enough space for her to pass and do it, I said, "You can do that. Why are you asking me in such a tone?" So, she did it and left. I put the remaining honey bottles on the table and preceded to check out. As I was about to clock out, Mr. Netten approached me and asked if he could speak with me. I agreed, but asked if I should clock out as it seemed to be work related. He said I should, so I did. He chose to speak with me at one of the dining tables near the front door. As we sat down and before we started to speak, guess who comes from down the hall? If you guessed Mrs. Busby, then you would be correct. It was then that I knew Mr. Netten was also a part of this game. I was placed in that spot, so that when she appeared from down the hall, she would see my sitting there with him which was meant to make me feel scolded because of some action she took. He started the conversation with, "Did you know that Mrs. Busby is upset?" I responded, "No, I don't." He proceeded, "Do you know why Mrs. Busby is so upset?" I said, "No, because I said I was unaware she was upset." He continued with saying she was upset because her feelings were hurt as she heard me talking behind her back in the kitchen on the 22nd of April. I was dumbfounded, because when I had the conversation with him, it was in reference to Ms. Schoenrock. Mrs. Busby, Mrs. Sanchez, and Mrs. Albers were mentioned because they were guilty of doing the same thing. Explaining further, I told him I found it quite odd her feelings would be hurt by that seeing as how gossiping behind by back was all she did every time I got up from the staff table to serve the residents. He was speechless, because he knew I was right. What's more, I was more dumbfounded that he would want to have a meeting with me about it, because he had confessed to knowing Mrs. Busby spoke badly about him behind his back as well a few days back. He continued to speak stating the following: 1. My co-workers had gone to him to say they were only trying to help me, but they were having a hard time understanding what I wanted. 2. When I asked him if she had told him about the washing -my -hands incident, he stumbled over his words when saying she had not spoken to him about it but instead to his wife. 3. 1 told him I suspected Mrs. Busby and Ms. Schoenrock were removing items form the tables after I set them without my knowledge including the incident about the cup of ice. 4. 1 told him about Mrs. Busby's rude behavior when instructing me to put the name tags away. 5. 1 told him of how Mrs. Busby pettiness worsened after she saw the distant both he and his wife had given me that day. 6. He wanted to know if I had noticed Mrs. Busby treating Ms. Vasquez poorly and when I told him no, he acted surprised. I responded by saying that because I was now the target, Mrs. Busby would not dare treat Ms. Vasquez in this way as a way to not isolate herself in the kitchen. He said that maybe it was because Ms. Vasquez just does what she is told, but that maybe she should start speaking up for herself more, after I said, "When people can treat you poorly, they like you. You can be their best friend." 7. 1 told him that it looked very bad to the residents to see Mrs. Sanchez, Mrs. Busby, and others speak ill of me every time I got up to serve coffee and tea, most especially, just after having devotion. I felt it looked extremely bad to follow scripture reading and prayer with gossip. It/ felt more like routine than something the listeners actually took to HEART. Just because the residents were in a retirement home, did not mean they lost their good sense, hearing, or sight. I explained to Mr. Netten that because they are paying residents, they have the right to an environment free from negative energy. 8. He questioned me about egos. 9. He suggested I quit. After he denied having a conversation with her about the handwashing incident, I told him her behavior had nothing to do with her feelings being hurt, but I suspected it had everything to do with my response to her that morning. Continuing to give my opinion, I told him it would not make sense for her feelings to be hurt seeing as how she had been doing it all day to me. In fact, I was not talking behind her back as I was speaking about Ms. Schoenrock's behavior and Mrs. Busby's name only came up because she was also guilty of discussing me while I was only two feet away. When he suggested I quit, my response was, "Why would I do that? I explained I needed the job and there was no way I would come to work starting mess with people knowing it could cost me my job. When I told him about the missing items from the table, he wanted to know if I was recording myself working because of this and I told him yes. Then, he asked me something I did not expect. He asked, "Why didn't you hide it better?" I told him because I did not want to make it seem as if I was trying to hide anything. If someone discovered it, I was prepared to say it belonged to me. I continued to speak stating the following: 1. Everyone here has family and friends. I was in a much more difficult place than anyone there without a support system. So why was I being singled out and considered a threat to anyone? 2. If everyone was so caring and really wanted to help me, why had they never given any encouraging words of support. 3. We are all guilty of having an ego which is difficult to realize sometimes, but that was not the case here. I was being persecuted for something much bigger. He continued to speak in favor of the other staff members saying that they only wanted to be my friends and with time, things would get better. Knowing that Mr. Netten was not being forthright with me and was pushing me to quit because he did not want to get his hands dirty, I told him about the Cointelpro Surveillance Program or Organized Stalkers. His nervous reaction told me he understood exactly what I was speaking of which was confirmed by the questions to follow: 1.) So, what is the purpose of this organization? 2.) How do you know you are being stalked? 3.) After telling him, I am tracked everywhere I go, he asked, "Did they follow you here? And how do they track you?" 4.) Why did they choose you? He was speaking as if he was gathering information as he came closer and raised the tone of his voice to sound more intimidating. I answered his questions by saying I am not sure of the purpose or why I was even chosen, but I do know I was made aware I was being stalked after becoming heavily invested in labor rights' issues in Japan in 2007. As I continued to explain, I told him Organized Stalking was designed for dissident cleansing which is achieved by constant stalking and harassment on a daily or weekly basis until the target loses their job, housing, and financial stability causing the target to have a mental breakdown, become institutionalized, join Cointelpro, or commit suicide. Just as I wrote down information on the organization for Officer Van Zee, I gave Mr. Netten the same information and asked him to do research about it on the Internet. After speaking with him about Organized Stalking, he wanted to know if I thought my co-workers were members and I responded, "Yes, some of them are, so I know the harassment I am experiencing from them is because of their ties with Organized Stalking. I am their target." At that point, he did not try to convince me otherwise, because it is difficult for him to deny the truth straight out. Though he seems to have many years of experience manipulating the people close to him to his advantage, it is difficult for him to tell an outright lie. He tries as much as possible to maintain some of his integrity with sincerity which is hard to find in most members of Cointelpro. Continuing to speak, I told Mr. Netten my only goal was to come to work and do my job to the best of ability knowing what I would have to face every time worked and though I knew many of them would argue they were members for the sake of keeping their LOVED ones safe, I was not going to allow anyone to bully me for selfish reasons. With their participation, they were helping this organization destroy my life and it became apparent to me, that the only person truly in my corner is GOD. As far as I was concerned, I was doing my job and so far up until that point, I had not received any complaints from him. He agreed and he gave me a look of understanding, as I walked out the door. When I returned to set up for supper, Mrs. Sanchez was in the kitchen as usual. We greeted each other and I started to work. As I was setting the tables for supper, she walked out into the dining area and asked, "Who was the cook today?" I answered, "Sylvia," but could not understand why she did not know. All the names of the people scheduled to work on any given day is written on the calendar in the kitchen and we all receive a personal copy of that calendar. So, I asked her why she needed to know and why she did not know for the reasons just mentioned. She explained by saying the cook did not leave out the meat for supper to thaw and she wanted to know who made the mistake. "Really?" I thought. She was there an hour prior to my arrival and she waited for me to tell her who the cook was for dinner? I found it unbelievable, because I think her natural reaction would have been to check for that information as soon as she realized the mistake had been made in the hour she had been there before my arrival. Her asking me had nothing to do with wanting to know who the cook was earlier on in the day but had everything to do with informing me indirectly she knew about what had transpired between Mrs. Busby and myself that morning and early afternoon. It was not the first time she had done this. After the bread incident with Mrs. Busby on the 16th of April, Mrs. Sanchez's behavior told me she had been informed about it. When I arrived to set up for supper that late afternoon, Mrs. Sanchez stood in my way as I tried to prepare the bread, aggressively took the tray of bread, and set it out herself, though it was my responsibility. If I were not going to cooperate with Mrs. Busby, then the responsibility would no longer be mine to perform is the point being made. A common tactic of gangstalkers is to always stay in control. So, I asked Mrs. Sanchez if the information about who would be working that day was written on the calendar. She said it had been, but that Mrs. Schoenrock's name had been written there instead. Because I did not believe her, I walked over to the calendar to check myself and only the people's name who had to work that day was there. Mrs. Schoenrock's name was nowhere in sight. At this moment, I looked at Mrs. Sanchez and told her what I was looking at and when she looked at the calendar, she had nothing more to say. Gangstalkers often lie on the fly thinking the target will never be bold enough to call them out on that lie. I felt the need to do this, because I wanted Mrs. Sanchez to know I was on to her games. At the end of the work day, Mrs. Sanchez was being overly kind. I clocked out and was on my way out the door. I returned to go to visit the restroom, but on my way back, Mrs. Sanchez asked me to clock her out, because she did not have her eyeglasses. As soon as she said it, I knew it was an attempt to gain control, because I had caught her in her game a few hours before. I told her no, because I knew what she was doing and I knew she was more than capable of doing it herself. So, I went to the restroom instead and left her to her games. By the time I finished, Mrs. Mary Te Grotenhuis was at the timeclock helping her. I told them good-bye and left. For me, her getting Mrs. Grotenhuis to help her did not validate anything. The game must look as genuine as possible. April 2g`h 2016 — The day began in silence and I was not the one giving it. As the day continued and people started to get into their groove, my co-workers seemed more relaxed than usual. Mr. Netten made himself scarce. As we sat for breakfast, Mrs. Netten joined Mrs. Busby and me. During this time, I asked her for the schedule for May, because I had not received one. She thought I had it as she normally used both sides for two months. I showed her the schedule she gave me and put it down on the table. At that moment, Mrs. Busby grabbed it with spite in her HEART and told me that we work on a three-week rotation that stays the same. So, I asked Mrs. Netten if the schedule stayed the same before or after the changes were made, because I switched a few days with another dishwasher named Mrs. Mary Zeutenhorst. Mrs. Busby, in a nasty tone, said, "That's between you and Mary." I responded, "Please let the person who handles the schedule tell me," as I looked at Mrs. Netten. Mrs. Netten, then responded, "The schedule stays in its original format." Mrs. Busby was acting very cocky and rude which is the way a person acts when they feel as if they have won some battle. After breakfast, things became suspiciously quiet. We prepared for dinner and when I took one of the resident's special water bottle down to place on the table, someone intentionally left dirty water inside closing it shut. The lid was always left lose to allow it to breathe and dry. It was the first time I found it closed shut and closed shut with dirty water inside. I could tell by Mrs. Busby's body language, she had something to do with it, but I said nothing about it and continued to work. Everything was done and it was time for our coffee break. Feeling the calm before a storm, I chose not to sit at the staff table for the break. It was the first time I had done so. During break, Mrs. Netten and Mrs. Linda Korver (the physical therapist) asked me if I knew what something meant that they could not understand after reading about it. I told them I did not know and went on to finish making my tea. As I was about to leave the kitchen, Mrs. Netten said, "We thought someone with a Master's degree would know the answer," and then she briskly walked out. It was the first time I saw this side of Mrs. Netten. She was being degrading, because there was absolutely no reason to say such a thing. I did not know where it was coming from as she had always been fair. After coffee break for the staff, it was now time to begin the last preparations for dinner. As I have mentioned before, 10 minutes before it is time to ring the bell for the residents to come for dinner, ice must be placed in the cups of residents and staff members. A cup is placed by everyone's place setting. However, on this day, as I was placing ice in all the plastic cups, I noticed all the plastic cups were missing for the place setting for the resident whose ice had been moved by Mrs. Busby on April 25`h 2016. A common tactic of gangstalking is to return to the scene of a crime to repeat an offense, if the first offense was unsuccessful. I looked up to see Mrs. Busby watching me at the door of the kitchen and turn away quickly. On my way back towards the kitchen as I was going to the staff table to place ice in the cups of the staff, Mrs. Busby interrupted me to place her personal cup in my face holding it out for me to place ice in it. Mrs. Albers repeated the action. So, I place the ice bag down on the counter and asked them to get the ice themselves, because I knew they were both up to no good. Mrs. Busby moved the cup and to add insult to what she perceived as an injury was to make me place ice in her personal cup. Mrs. Albers seemed to be on board. It was no different than when Mrs. Albers became involved with the bread incident. Mrs. Busby would instigate the mess and Mrs. Albers would follow suit. Initially, I thought Mrs. Albers was being brought into mess unknowingly and was genuinely trying to fix a problem, but on this day, I understood she was also a willing participant helping to escalate the problem. After this, both Mrs. Albers and Mrs. Busby looked disappointed that things did not work out as they planned. Dinner finished and it was time to wash everything. Then, around the end of cleanup, Mrs. Albers and Mrs. Busby started rushing to help me put away the dishes more so than they ever had before. When it was time to clock out, Mrs. Albers waved her hands very rudely over to the time clock and said angrily, "Clock out. We're going down to to the office a minute." Caught off guard, I asked, "We're going down to the office for what?" She continued, "I have things to say to you and I'm going to say them in private." I hesitated and then asked, "It's just going to be the two of us?" She responded, "No, Verlyn and Carla will be there." So I hesitated some more, and then she said, "Verlyn is going to meet us in the west lounge." So, I clocked out and followed them to the TV lounge where Mr. Netten was waiting. Mrs. Linda Plathe (one of the custodians) was also there pretending to straighten things up so she could listen to the first part of the conversation. This is what I gathered as he lingered as Mrs. Albers began to speak. Mrs. Albers and Mrs. Busby had a seat and then pulled out a long list of notes. When I saw that, I refused to sit down and said, "I'm not going to be able to have this meeting with you guys today because I am not prepared for it. Surely, it seems like you are and I think that's the fair thing to do. Mrs. Albers responded, "No, you're going to listen for just a second," to which I replied, "No, not with that tone, I'm not. I don't have to. I'm walking out. If you're prepared to say something to me,- then you should have given me the courtesy to be prepared also." Mrs. Busby said, "We're not prepared. We were asked to come back here." Mrs. Albers, then said, "I just have a few notes of things I wrote down today." So, then I asked her if she could please discuss them with Verlyn and then he could tell me what she had to say. She said she already had and then I said I would speak with him when we were alone because, "It seems like a lynch mob right now." At this point, "Mr. Netten interjected and said, "The requirement of the job is what as a team and what we are trying to resolve things here and this is a team effort." So, I asked, "Is it?" to which he replied, "Absoluetly." Following that, I asked, "So, if I'm gonna listen to you, then you're gonna listen to me?" Mr. Netten said, "Absolutely." Mrs. Albers started to speak first. Mrs. Albers, then started with your list by saying, "Sharmeen, these are things you have complained about, that I know of. You've complained about people being rude. You've complained about people micromanaging you. You've talked about Organized Stalking, that you don't trust people..." At that point, I got up and said, "Wait a second. Wait a minute. Let's stop right there." Mrs. Albers tried to continued and I stopped her by saying, "I'm not even gonna listen, because I didn't talk to you about that," and as she continued to talk, I walked out. I returned seconds later and asked Mr. Netten if I could speak with him later and he told me I could once he finished speaking with them. I looked at them and said that I would ask Mr. Netten about their concerns when we spoke later. They left in a great mood of laughter and when I entered the TV lounge area, Mr. Netten called in Mrs. Korver to serve as verification of what was being said. Contemplating leaving again as I felt this was another unfair move, I asked Mr. Netten why verification of the conversation was necessary with me and not for Mrs. Albers and Mrs. Busby. He paused for a long time, before he responded by saying verification was unnecessary for them because they called the meeting and he did not find fault with them. In the meeting Mr. Netten said the following: 1. He accused me of throwing the bag of ice down and rudely telling Mrs. Busby to get the ice herself, though he mentioned nothing about Mrs. Busby poor behavior towards me. In addition to this, he mentioned nothing about Mrs. Albers which I found odd, because she was there too asking for ice. 2. He then went on to say that because she had to get the ice herself, she had to waste a glove to do it. 3. In further attempts to make me feel guilty, he said his feelings were hurt, because I refused to clock Maria out. So, I asked Mr. Netten what would Maria have done if I had not been there or if she could not have found anyone else to clock her out. 4. He accused me of rolling my eye and at that point, I asked him it is not in my character to roll my eyes at people. If I were that kind of person, I would have rolled my eyes at him. He responded by saying that I would not have done it because he's the boss. 5. When I questioned him about all the things I told him my co-workers were doing, he dismissed everything and said they would never do those things because he knew them and that all they wanted to do was be my friend. 6. When I questioned him about his confession and knowledge of Mrs. Busby and Mrs. Zeutenhorst talking about him behind his back, he told me that he did not care about it. 7. When I questioned him about the missing items from the table, he told me it was not important. I found this very odd as it would have been important to the residents, if not him. For him to disregard them as paying residents only confirmed my suspicion of his sincerity. Many of them would feel slighted in someone when they got to the table to find items missing that everyone else had. 8. He concluded by saying I was not a team player to which I disagreed. He told me my opinion did not matter because he was the boss and as such, his opinion was the only one that counted. He also mentioned that recording my co-workers with video and audio recorders was also a sign of not being a team player. Though I did not disagree with him on this point, I did not see it that way. Any recordings I ever made were to serve as proof of wrongdoing by my co-workers against me. 9. In a stern voice, he told me the head cook was the boss and after the cook was the assistant cook leaving the dishwasher to answer to both the assistant cook and cook continuing to say, "And when the cook says give me some ice, you give her some ice!" The schedule for the dishwasher given to me by Mr. Netten states: "Everybody needs to work as a team - help one another when your duties are completed. Whenever your work is done, help the cook. Work together as a team." None of the complaints raised by Mr. Netten in the meeting could be justified as none of them went against what was stated in the schedule or in my opinion, showed opposition to being a team -player. My thoughts concerning the meeting are as follows: 1. To my knowledge, Maria is not blind and worked quite well all day without her glasses to make supper and serve it to the residents. With this fact, you mean to tell me, she could not decipher line from line and place her time card in the appropriate space, in order to clock out? If I thought Mrs. Sanchez really needed my help, I would have helped her. Fear never dictates my behavior and as such, I was not going to allow her to force me to do something under the guise of needing my help out of fear of how I would look to others. Mr. Netten said he was hurt when he heard I had not helped Mrs. Sanchez. He was attempting to manipulate me into feeling guilty for my reaction, but I did not, because I stood firm in my belief Mrs. Sanchez did not need my help. 2. As for the wasted glove, Mrs. Busby did not need to waste a glove. She could have washed her hands to remove the ice from the bag. Besides, I had never before not place ice in the cups as they say on the tables in their designated setting. Making me place ice in personal cups as I work, seem to go against protocol and could be view as bullying. It also slows me down as I try to finish the task at hand. 3. Telling me he did not believe anything I said against my co-workers and penalizing me for trivial matters or matters that he did not witness on the word on my co-workers proved that Mr. Netten was showing favoritism and a bias. It clearly showed his not having my best interest at HEART. 4. He mentioned nothing about Ms. Schoenrock intentionally bumping into me. He mentioned nothing about Maria's rude behavior. He mentioned nothing about Mrs. Albers, Mrs. Sanchez, and Mrs. Busby speaking ill of me behind my back or in front of my face. He mentioned nothing of the things I had spoken to him about. He chalked it all up to my making mistakes and misunderstanding my co-worker's intentions, because they all wanted to be my friend and help me. He was giving my co-workers permission to harass me without concern for my safety by reprimanding me and not reprimanding my co-workers. 5. Calling me into an official meeting without proper notice was a clear sign I was being set up for an unwarranted disciplinary action therefore violating my labor rights. 6. 1 was being set up for unfair dismissal. 7. 1 was made to clock out twice, on the 25`h and 281h, without pay for those hours. 8. 1 was on the bottom of the totem pole and I would do as instructed. 9. That meeting was meant to take me off guard, because when Mrs. Albers first demanded I go with her to the office, she said nothing about Mr. Netten being present. It was meant to unnerve me by arriving and finding Mr. Netten in the room. Because he knew the meeting was taking place earlier in the day, I should have been given notification and he should have been the one giving me that notification. He was serving me up to be crucified and I did not appreciate it. The tone in my voice let him understand this. In my opinion, he was treating me as if I had no rights or voice. 10. It was quite evident to me that my recording conversations and trying to video myself working was quite necessary as I was on my own and without proof to back up what was happening at Pioneer Memorial Home, then they would definitely tell the story to their advantage. If it had not been clear before, it was very clear now. I was being set up for failure. 11. Mr. Netten's talk with me on April 25`h 2016 was designed to be manipulative as it had nothing to do with Mrs. Busby feelings being hurt, but everything to do with the handwashing incident. This is evident from his not being forthright about Mrs. Busby speaking with him about the issue and his saying Mrs. Busby had only spoken to Mrs. Netten about the incident. His approach was to create guilt in my HEART and place blame on me for Mrs. Busby's insulting behavior. After speaking more about other things, he took out the information concerning my duties for the kitchen and asked me if I had received it. I responded, "Yes." Then he spread out all the papers which included my work schedule for May, so that I could see it. After that, he started to fill out a document with lines that needed to be filled in and then I asked, "What is that?" He told me it was a form that verified the meeting had taken place and after he filled it out, I would have to sign it. I refused to sign it as it seemed as if I was being blackmailed to sign it. Then, he looked and Mrs. Korver and asked her if she could verify my denial to sign it. She answered yes and then he got up from the table preparing to walk away without giving me the schedule. Before getting up, I asked what would happen, if I did not sign the paper. He said that this was my first notice of misconduct and I asked on what basis. He said that I was not being a team player based primarily on not placing ice in Mrs. Busby s cup, not helping Maria clock out, and the things told to him by Mrs. Albers. If I should receive two more notices of misconduct, it would be cause for dismissal. He started to walk away, but before he could, I asked, "So, where's the schedule for May?" I was being discretely bullied and blackmailed into signing a form against my will, but because I am older and know my rights, I knew I could say no to what I felt was an improper procedure. Threatening me with notices of misconduct was designed to instill fear and this was being used to keep me from standing up for myself and allowing my bullies to do whatever they wanted. I imagined that everyone who had bullied me before would take full advantage of this. Essentially, what Mr. Netten made possible was for my co-workers/gangstalkers to harass me under the guise of working as team players leaving me unable to defend myself. He reluctantly gave me the schedule and I noticed later that my work days had been shortened from 10 to 8 days. I shook both their hands, thanked them for the time, and left. As soon as I left, I headed to the police station because bullying under this Cointelpro Surveillance Program is criminal and I felt as if my life was being threatened, though not in the conventional way. I returned to work and gave a copy of the information about gangstalking to Mr. Netten as I had given to the Orange City Police Department. May 4`h 2016 — I called Work Force Development that directed me to State Wage an Hour concerning not being paid for the extra hours I stayed for the meetings on April 25`h and April 28`h 2016 and the Iowa Civil Rights Commission concerning the unfair treatment at work. May 5th 2016- This was my first day back to work since the meeting and things went just as I expected they would. Mrs. Busby took any opportunity she could to instruct me to do something even if I did not need the instruction and I knew she was going to approach me to place ice in her cup. So, when it was time for me to place the ice in the cups, I started with the staff table first. As I continued to place ice in the residents' cups, I could see Mrs. Busby slowly walking towards me to make her move with her glass in hand, but when she looked over to see ice in a cup near her place setting, she stopped and hesitantly walked away. I could see the wheels turning in her head to figure out a way to get me to put the ice in her glass, but she could not think of anything. As we sat at the table, she did not once put the ice in her glass. She let it sit there and when I returned from the restroom, I made a point to tell her I left the ice there for her. She then went on to explain she was on a liquid diet and did not need the ice, so she put it in the pitcher of water in the middle of the table. Then, I said, "You really did not want ice." She responded by saying, "No more ice for me." I was thinking, "You really didn't want ice. You just wanted to mess with me then. Just what I thought." Approaching me to put ice in the cups of people while they are holding them goes against the protocol I was trained to follow. It also slows down the process of getting ready for supper, goes against kitchen etiquette, and therefore, should not be used in the description of being a team player. I do not think any labor law would support this as a valid reason to receive a notice of misconduct. It seemed so fabricated with the sole purpose of contriving reasons to fire me. We finished dinner and nothing unusual happened. During the coffee break, Mrs. Korver appeared. We (Mr. and Mrs. Netten, Mrs. Korver, Mrs. Linda Plathe, and myself) all sat around the staff table and the only person who gave me genuine conversation was Mrs. Korver. Everyone else was pretty much dismissive of anything I had to say. It was now time to serve supper and as I rang the bell in the back, Mrs. Busby waited for me to ring the one in the front. So, I asked her to ring it as I felt with all this talk about being a team player, she should have been helping me ring the second bell. She rang it and then, things went downhill from there. She became even more distant than before and the kitchen was pretty silent. She spent loads of time going back and forth from the kitchen to the lounge spending time with the residents. When she returned to the kitchen, she saw me putting the fruit salad she had left on the counter for me to dispose of in the garbage and asked if there was a reason I was putting it there instead of in the garbage disposal. I responded, "Because I do not want to overwork the disposal if I do not have to and when I asked Mr. Netten, he did not object to it." She then responded, "Verlyn does not work in the kitchen, so he doesn't know." She then explained that the garbage would be left overnight and it would bring about flies, so it would better for us to change garbage bags. I understood and did not object. When everything was done, Mrs. Korver disposed of the garbage and put in a new garbage bag at which time I thanked her for being so kind. Then, at around 6:05 pm, Mrs. Busby came over to the dishwasher and started hastily putting away all the dishes in the same manner she had before the meeting on the 28th, but with anger. Where was all this help before when she had the time to give it? I could barely get them out of the dishwasher. It was as if she was taking over my duties and not allowing me the satisfaction of completing my tasks. When I went over to dry the utensils, she instructed me to clean the sink so that she could do the utensils, but it had already been cleaned. She stood behind me with her hand on her hip breathing heavily. She then asked me for the ones that went in the drawer and 1 passed them to her. As I finished the last leg of the wash, she just stood there staring at me as if she was disciplining a child and then, as she snapped her fingers, she said, "Come on, let's go. You're milking the pot and I don't want to milk the pot." She was behaving like a maniac and I am not exaggerating. I responded, "I'm not milking the pot" She continued by telling me the dishwasher and cook always leave at the same time and since I had been working there I had never left with anyone else, so that I could be sure all my responsibilities were completed. I simply said, "OK," and did not move. At this moment, Mr. Norm Grotenhuis (the night sitter) appeared, I think, to intervene. She stood there for a while waiting for me to move and I said, "You don't have to wait on me." Then, she struck up a conversation with Mr. Grotenhuis still waiting for me to leave and then I said again, "You don't have to wait for me." At that point, she left, but then came back. This time, I went outside and asked her what she meant by milking the pot and she responded by saying she was trying to get me to hurry up by asking me to clean the sink while she did the utensils, but that 1 was not being a team player because I said, "I'm not going to do that." At that point, I told her she was putting words in my mouth and that her statement about milking the pot was rude and stupid. I continued to tell her that I felt she was intentionally causing problems for me to which she disagreed. As she left, she stated that it was going to be one whirlwind of a weekend because we were schedule to work together on Saturday and Sunday and I agreed. About an hour later, I thought to call Mr. Netten to ask him if the rule was for the cook and dishwasher to leave at the same time as Mrs. Busby had said and he said no. In fact, he told me she sometimes leaves after everyone else has left, so he did not understand why it would be an issue. Afterwards, I told him everything written in the above paragraph and how I felt she was using abusive language and giving abusive instructions. He said he would talk to her, but seeing as how he had never believed anything else I had told him and provided me with lip service, I did not see how this time would be any different. I expected for him to show up at work on the weekend and support Mrs. Busby with her games. May 6th 2016 - A letter from the Iowa Workforce Development arrived opened. May 7th 2015 - I arrived to work with Mrs. Busby on guard and seemingly on her best behavior. She made attempts to give friendly conversation, but every time we passed each other, she would walk pass me with an air of arrogance and stand still, in order to force me to move and walk around her. Her friendly conversation was so disingenuous. Ms. Schoenrock walked in just after breakfast was over and gave Mrs. Busby a huge "hello," as Mrs. Busby was facing her when she entered the building. I continued to wash dishes. Then, just before coffee break at around 9:20am, Mr. Netten showed up. He walked in as if to catch me off guard. When I said, "Hello," he only smiled and kept walking towards the front door as I cleaned a cart. So, I continued to work and gave no attention to the game of surprise I figured he was playing. He went into the kitchen and carried on a very friendly conversation with Ms. Schoenrock and Mrs. Busby. Eventually, he casually walked over to me and asked me very awkwardly how I was doing. I responded by saying I was doing well and continued to work. Honestly, it was very clear to me that Mr. Netten did not possess a sincere bone in his body for me. When he left, Mrs. Busby rose in spirits and every time she walked passed me this time around, there was a greater pep in her step with a bit more arrogance. It was very evident Mr. Netten's surprise visit was for Mrs. Busby's and Ms. Schoenrock's benefit. Around dinner time, the day sitter, Mrs. Phyllis De Kock, arrived. She was in charge of doing devotion as Mr. and Mrs. Netten did not work on the weekend. We all sat at the table. Both Mrs. Busby and Ms. Schoenrock were on their best behavior as Mrs. De Kock sat at the table and from this, I could gather she was not a member of the gossip crew. I also found her to be a very pleasant, LOVING, and genuine person. Dinner was over and as we cleaned up and prepared for supper, Mrs. De Kock attended to other things outside of the kitchen. I could feel Mrs. Busby itching for a scratch, so 1 tried to stay out of her way though she started to calculate her steps, in order to make some sort of contact with me. She kept her eyes on me the entire time it seemed just waiting for something to happen or for a moment to be petty. With both hands full of dessert bowls, she stopped what she was doing to open the cupboard for me and as she did so, she said, "Watch out. Watch your face." I responded, "I don't need to watch my face." She replied, "I didn't want to smack you." Though it may have looked like she was helping me, it was quite the opposite. What she did was to give backhanded assistance. She called it a warning, but my face was not close enough to the door to warrant a warning. She was being indirectly offensive. So, I responded by saying, "Those should not be words that should even come out of your mouth." At this moment, Ms. Schoenrock jumped in and they both tried to make it seem as if I was taking it the wrong way as they shouted Mrs. Busby's only intent was to be helpful. If that were the case, when I told her those are words that should never come out of your mouth, she would not have made a point to repeat the insult by saying, "I just said be careful. I don't want to smack you in the face." Besides, people do not change overnight or in such a short period of time. Just two days before that, she was being unkind and in the weeks before that, she was not being kind either. So, her intention was not to help me. Her intention was to disguise an insult with being helpful. Mrs. Busby and Ms. Schoenrock continued to badger me as I turned around to continue working. As I continued to work, I could feel Ms. Schoenrock and Mrs. Busby coming closer to me voicing more insults. Ms. Schoenrock started to say things like, "Something bad must have happened to you....." When I realized where she was going with it, I raised my voice and started to say things like, "Zip it. I'm working. Be quiet about it. It's none of your business," to drown her out, but she continued with, "It is my business, the way you're acting. Go back to Alabama," and became even more aggressive and pestering. So, I walked out of the kitchen, because I felt the both of them crowding my space saying, "On my goodness and you're following me being hostile. Get away from me. I'm not listening to you." As I walked into the dining area, Ms. Schoenrock started throwing even more insults like, "Get out. Just go. We don't want you here." So, I gave her a lot of distance and she continued to follow me. She continued to be hostile, but yet was saying she was defending herself, to which I replied, "Defending yourself? I'm walking away from you and you're following me. Right?" She agreed and, I think, when she realized how bad that looked, she went back into the kitchen. She kept saying that my time there was finished and I told her to call Mr. Netten, because he was the only one who could tell me to leave. She did and as she talked to him, she was saying very loudly, "We want her gone. We're done. Fucking....." She hung up the phone and told all of us that he was on his way. When I tried to finish washing the dishes, Mrs. Busby was there and refused to move. She told me to go home, because I was no longer wanted there, but I told her it was my job and I needed to finish doing my job. At this point, Mrs. De Kock walked in and when Mrs. Busby saw Mrs. De Kock, she stopped and went to the other side of the kitchen. Both Ms. Schoenrock and Mrs. Busby seemed to all of a sudden have a change of HEART, but then they started to try to justify their behavior to Mrs. De Kock. Mr. Netten showed up about 10 minutes later and when he arrived he waited around for me to finish my tasks. As I was drying the utensils, Ms. Schoenrock walked over and said, "I can do this," and positioned herself to take over what I was doing as to speed up my exit out the door, but I stopped her and told her it was my job, so I could do it. To play herself up and to play me down, she started trying to make it seem like she was being helpful and I was not being a team player. I responded by telling her I did not feel as if that is what she was doing. It was quite evident they were playing on the team player theme as I am sure they were all informed by Mr. Netten what he had said to me in the meeting on the 281h of April. I finished the utensils, clocked out, and told him I really did not have anything to say as they had the problem and I did not feel as if 1 did anything wrong. He said he understood, but that it was not working out and I did not have to return that afternoon. I told him it seemed unfair they could have control over the situation and I did not accept his decision. He seemed satisfied with the outcome. I was being set up from day one to work in a hostile environment in silence or lose the job, if I took any action against mistreatment. Mr. Netten, no matter how well I thought of him, allowed his employees to dictate the outcome. In gangstalking, you suffer in silence or face being forced out or an agreement (employment, academia, or housing), if you do not. In any location, though the outer appearance presents a chain of command, gangstalkers control each other. They are all on the same level, but some are more viscous than others. As such, within their group, they do not always get a long or like each other. From my observation, Mrs. Busby is the most viscous of them all and has no problem selling them out to the members of Cointelpro above her. This explains why she and Mr. Netten are at odds with each other. He does not take as much pleasure in playing the psychological games with targeted people as she does, but this does not mean, he does not enjoy it. May 13th 2016 — I went out to get groceries from Don's Food Center at a bit before 9:OOpm. On my way back, I saw a police SUV at the intersection of 3`d Street Avenue and Arizona Street. More experiences with Gangstalking at Work and in the Community of Orange City 1. Crowding in Don's Food Center. I have noticed gangstalkers rushing in and cashiers slowing down their service, in order to allow gangstalkers the time to get behind me in the line where they start to whistle, force the cashier's attention towards them before the cashier can give me a proper goodbye, or wanting me to see the targeted color for the day. You can judge this from the surveillance cameras if they have them installed. My receipts show my being there on March 2f at 17:30:39, April 9th at 18:00:26, April 291h at 19:21:07, May 6th at 21:54:44, and May 13th 2016 at 21:24:59. 2. Crowding and poor service at The Old Factory. On April 28th 2016, 1 wore a patchwork Asian long jacket. When asked at work where I bought it, I told them I bought it online at it came from either Taiwan or China. I wore it the next day and when I arrived at The Old Factory, the barista was unusually slow with making the drink of the customers in front of me. Finally, she took my order and when I turned around there were a group of Asian people standing behind ime. It would not have been so suspect if they had not deliberately tried to stand in my way to keep me from passing. So, I do what I normally do in those cases. Before I left, I introduced myself to two of them and gave them information about gangstalking. Gangstalkers used very specific things concerning targets to mimic targets like clothing, color, the name of hometowns, favorite foods, etc. In this case. Mimicry was used as a gangstalking tactic. 3. 1 have been the target of gaslighting, ghosting, financial ruin, cyber -stalking, directed conversation aka storytelling), color harassment, mimicry, illegal surveillance, sensitization, sexual arousal and harassment, street theater, and entering the house I live in without permission for the purpose of causing psychological harm 4. Delayed and opened mail 5. Mr. Art Van Riesen and Mr. Jim from Visser's Plumbing both members of Cointelpro targeted me for sexual harassment. The older gentleman's behavior in the library was also very inappropriate and of a sexual nature. 6. At Pioneer Memorial Home, the word "police" was thrown around a lot in my presence and just after someone would say it, everyone and I mean everyone would break out in pretentious and forced laughter. Gangstalkers do this, in order to make the target feel uneasy, because they know the target is being patrolled by the police. 7. The missing plastic cups, coffee mugs, and utensils went missing from the place settings for residents Cornie, Sadie, Elma, Angie, Donna, Casey, and Coba. Based on my experience with gangstalking, I would not be surprised if these residents are targeted individuals. Taking the items from these place settings not only is meant to make me look incompetent, but it also serves to harass the resident at that place setting. On one occasion, Mrs. Busby spoke ill of a resident named Arlene when she discussed a very personal matter concerning her and another resident. Concerning that personal matter, Mrs. Busby said with a burst of laughter, "It will never happen." I am sure the residents who are marked as target experience the same kind of harassment like being ostracized from social gatherings, whispered about in front of their faces, and things probably go missing from their rooms and not just at the dining tables. I have not lived in Orange City that long, but I do know Organized Stalking is taking place her. Listed below are other places where I have witnessed Organized Gangstalking worldwide: 1. The Kanto, Kansai (aka Kinki), Chubu, Kyushu regions of Japan. Japan is made up of 8 regions. Tokyo is in the Kanto region and Yamanashi is in the Kyushu region. Both Tokyo and Yamanashi are prefectures (another name for states), not cities. Only for your information, many people who live outside of Japan think Tokyo is a city. It is not, but instead a prefecture with a population of over 13,000,000 people. Some of the cities of Japan are Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, etc. 2. Rome, Pisa, Florence, Milan Italy 3. Paris, France 4. Montreal, Canada 5. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE 6. Tibet 7. India 8. Bejing, China 9. Seoul, South Korea 10. Dublin, Ireland 11. Thailand, Viet Nam, and Cambodia (most of my stalkers in these places were other foreigners/backpackers like myself) 12. The United Kingdom 13. Prattville, Alabama; Hollywood, Florida; Orange City, Iowa USA Many of my gangstalkers have been from countries I have never visited and they are listed below: 1. Russia 2. Nigeria 3. Ghana 4. Tanzania 5. The Philippines 6. Bulgaria 7. Venezuela 8. Brazil Not knowing when this totalitarian movement began, I cannot guess how long it has taken to transition from seemingly democratic states to ones where citizens will have no voice. I imagine as it has infiltrated every cultural group and vocation, it was fairly easy to get some to get on board, while others had to probably be blackmailed into cooperating. From my standpoint, the targeted individuals are the ones that refuse to participate. We are the ones that most strongly believe in democracy and free will. We are the whistleblowers, freethinkers, human, animal, and labor rights' activists. Now that I know the signs of gangstalking, I can back as far as the mid-1990s while a student at Cornell University. During that time, it was not very noticeable, but I can remember the strange behavior of a few people in my life that bear a great resemblance to what I have experienced with gangstalkers now. As I have mentioned in other letters, I believe I was'being used to force a certain number of my family members into cooperation. Those miscalls at my home were probably members of Cointelpro as I often get phone calls from unknown numbers as well as risque text messages. It should be noted that if gangstalking exists in any community before the arrival of a newcomer, then it exists for natives in that community who are targeted individuals. With that said, I did not bring gangstalking with me. It was already here in Orange City and there in Sioux Center, Iowa and very much active, before my arrival. What people may not understand is that in a transitioning period like this, there is going to be resistance and a large fallout of victims who are not mentally built to cope with such atrocities against humankind. I can only imagine the horror that takes place in a household where one member of that household refuses to be indoctrinated. I am sure one spouse is instructed to alienate another spouse by not being as cooperative, compassionate, LOVING, complimentary, affectionate, and supportive. Children can be easily influenced, if they are closer to the parent that gives in to this system. Have you ever heard or read about the stories of fathers who go ballistic and wipe out the entire family or mothers who just have a mental breakdown and take the lives of her children? When I used to hear these stories, I used to think these people committed these horrific crimes out of revenge, stress of raising a family, or some jealous rage, but now I believe these people could have very well been acting out of being targeted individuals. They were either taking out their bullies or led themselves to believing they were protecting them from a tortuous existence. Furthermore, this system is not just active in the targeted individual's home. The family members on board will contact others outside of the home to notify them that this person is not cooperating and as such, this targeted individual will receive the same treatment at work and even from, let us say, members of their Bible study or volunteer organization. Cointelpro makes sure this person has nowhere to turn, at least immediately. Having your entire family and community turn against you could drive anyone to insanity, especially if your pastor (the one who seems closest to GOD) is also a member which leads to my next question. In Orange City, Iowa, what has the suicide rate been? Can you see an incline in the rate beginning in the past 60 to 70 years as Ernest Hemingway's targeting began in the 1940s? Were the victims people no one would have ever expected to take their own lives? Has there been a rise in the number of cases for mental illness? Doing a Google search, I found an article on two pastors who committed suicide in 2014. It was written up as loneliness being a major factor in their decision as pastors usually carry this feeling of isolation with them as keepers of GOD's WORD. While this could be true, it could also be true that the community turned on these pastors and tried to force them to go against GOD's WORD by requiring them to use psychological warfare on targeted individuals in the community. I know, because this was my experience with the pastor, his wife, and the congregation at New Life International Church in Kofu, Yamanashi in Japan. Pastor Danny Brown, Mrs. Suzy Brown, and church members posing as friends would periodically use directed conversation (storytelling), gaslighting, sensitization, mimicry, and ghosting as tactics against me in church and at social gatherings outside of church. Testimonies given by members of the congregation were a reflection of the routines made, actions I took, and conversations I had in my apartment right down to the last thing I did before going to bed or the last thing I said in conversation. When I confronted Pastor Brown, he said, "I do not know what you are talking about, but you're not delusional." It was his way of denying it, but also telling me what I believed to be true was in fact, true. Pastors who really believe in the WORD know this is wrong, but many of them cannot remove themselves from the situation because of selfish reason, but also because they genuinely fear for the lives of their family. For example, when Mr. Netten gave devotion one afternoon, he suggested that we be more accepting of the differences of others and do our best to not gang up on those different to ourselves, because they do not look like us. His voice trembled as he spoke, but after that devotion, my co-workers seemed to have a change of HEART that only lasted for a short time. I sought Mr. Netten out as he was leaving for the day and told him I appreciated very much the message he gave and that great leaders have the ability to move people instantly. I told him I considered him to be a great leader that day, though I believe he is not able to express this gift due to Cointelpro's suppression of it. When you are a target, you are meant to endure the abusive behavior of gangstalkers and told to be grateful for whatever they believe they are allowing you to have through their mercy which feels very much like having a GOD complex. Only after you have pledged your allegiance to Cointelpro are you allowed to be treated like a human being, carry on with your life as promised by our constitution, and do others get to see your value. Even still, members are indentured servants for life. Cointelpro has designed each tactic used against targeted individuals to make them feel devalued, hopeless, and UNLOVED which explains why the targeted person is driven to indoctrination, insanity, suicide, or homicide. If they are successful, they are able to break the individual down and then rebuild that individual in their image; an individual that cannot function without them, one that owes their life and loyalty to a system that keeps them clothed and fed. Cointelpro leads its participants to believe its sole purpose is to instill humility, gratitude, and peace into its target, but this could be the farthest from the truth. An organization that uses psychological warfare on its targets is not one that can teach anyone to be humble, grateful or peaceful as it is the opposite of all these good things. People are only allowed to live their lives as long as they cooperate with the system which reads more like coercion than peace. Anything done for the good of man and in the name of GOD is never done in the dark which is how Cointelpro operates. Today, this operation is very covert, but is slowly becoming bolder with each passing day. Eventually, what was once covert is going to be very overt. The invisible concentration camp is going to be very visible as, I imagine, targeted individual s are going to be hauled off by the truck loads for extermination or to places to do GOD knows what. When this happens, it will have been accepted, globally, that these targets are less than human and have no place among them in society. People will turn their backs and turn their heads like all is right with the world. It will not be as easy as going into places like Germany to put an end to genocide, because the entire world will be involved. Then what? Before I finish, I highly recommend going to the Internet and doing research on the topics of the Cointelpro Surveillance Program, gangstaiking, and targeted individuals. When you visit certain sites concerning these topics, you will see a lot of information that I have not written about here. There will be talk of remote neural monitoring and directed energy weapons (DEWS) used to hijack the thoughts and physically torture targeted individuals in their homes while they sleep. I have never experienced any of this, but there have been some questionable things I have experienced in Orange City Iowa that I have not experienced anywhere else. As I am not certain that things are occurring, I will never mention them until I am absolutely sure. Until that time, I am going to chalk those things up to nothing as everything that happens in my life is not always a result of Cointelpro. Be careful of sites that give disinformation. Those sites will be inundated with talk of aliens, UFOs, and the like. They have been created by members of Cointelpro to discredit credible sources. In conclusion, when I was given the job at Pioneer Memorial Home, it was not given in earnest. It was given as a way to be degrading, but that backhanded effort did not work as I LOVED the job and did it very well. My only crime was not succumbing to bullying and as a result, my position as a dishwasher was terminated. My talks with Mr. Netten, the manager, about the bullying were never truly handled properly or with a sense of importance. The meeting that took place on April 28th 2016 in the name of conflict resolution was a farce as it was meant to blindside me and give my co-workers a platform to take out their frustrations on me which I avoided by not allowing them to do so. My concerns were overlooked as theirs were given priority as seen in Mr. Netten's reprimand of me excluding them from the same fate. From where I sat, bogus claims were created, in order to justify terminating my employment. Because I was fired on the day without at least 30 -day notice, I am without enough money to support myself in the coming months. Seeing as how I am alone in this city and may have been blacklisted from finding another job in this town, I am going to fight to get my job back. Moreover, I believe these acts were committed under instruction of the Cointelpro Surveillance Program and even if you did not believe so and removed all allegations of gangstalking, my treatment at Pioneer Memorial Home would still read unjust. With this document, I have attached two other documents, one explaining in more detail about Cointelpro and the other containing links and information about targeted people who are lost their lives or livelihood to gangstalking. As aforementioned, I am not suicidal, homicidal, or mentally as I have respect for all life and LOVE all people. It is important to state this as Cointelpro LOVE to label their targets as such to ruin their credibility. My only goal is to raise your awareness, so that you know the kind of world we are living in if you do not know already. I am also sending you this as to jolt you pleading for you to wake up and take action against this corrupt system. The Bible clearly states, you cannot serve Lucifer and GOD at the same time. "For no one can serve two masters for either you will hate the one and LOVE the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other." There is no gray area here, only black or white. I am not preaching. I am only making a point that you cannot be devoted to Cointelpro and GOD at the same time and even if it were not in the Bible, the good sense that GOD gave us would allow us to come to the same conclusion.

Leader I Relational September 301h 2016 Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds 1007 East Grand Ave. Des Moines, Iowa 50319 Dear Governor Branstad and Lt. Governor Reynolds, My name is Sharmeen D. Jones (422-15-7341) and I would like to share with you some events that have occurred in my life, since moving to Orange City, Iowa. I have only ever taken such measures to talk about Organized Gangstalking, when faced with extreme adversity. Not wanting to make this a lengthy e-mail, I will try to focus on the events that took place in the month of August and September of 2016. I would describe myself as a very LOVING and caring person who would never intentionally do anything to hurt another person. I value not only my life, but also the lives of all living things. However, I believe there is a Covert Harassment Program that seeks to destroy the lives of people like myself through one of many methods called Organized Gangstalking (OGS) which was made aware to me in the year 2007, while teaching conversational English in Japan. At the time, I did not know the name for it, but upon returning to the United States, I learned of its existence in 2015. After reading up on OGS, I learned that people like myself were called targeted individuals (Tis) and I was not alone as I read about the experiences of other Tls whose experiences mirrored very much my own. Based on my experiences and what I have come to know about OGS, I believe I was a target long before I realized it and the only way to effectively fight this organization is to raise awareness about it. Many Tis find it unbearable and often times become suicidal, homicidal, mentally ill, or members of the program. However, I am not one of those people and I always make sure to tell the people with whom I discuss OGS I would never take my life or the life of anyone else as my faith,is deeply rooted in GOD and I have always looked to him for guidance and strength. Though I believe raising awareness is the only way to beat this thing, I do not always talk to everyone I meet about it as not to dwell on it. However, my stance against OGS has prevented me from securing jobs or jobs that are well-paid, because I believe I have been blacklisted. To bring you up to speed, I have attached a Word document that details my experiences with OGS in Orange City from the time I arrived on March 1" 2016. My first job was at the Pioneer Memorial from March 22nd 2016 to May 7th 2016, but was fired from that job on the spot because of workplace bullying. I was able to secure another part time job at the Old Factory, owned by Mr. Steve Mahr, here in Orange City, Iowa. I worked for Mr. Mahr from July 5th 2016 to August 29th 2016. The week prior to the week of the 22"d of August, I started pre -training at Hope Haven for a full time position, though I did not sign my contract with them until September 1:t 2016. 1 do not believe I got that job until after I sent out an e-mail to some people about my feelings concerning being blacklisted. So, I worked at the Old Factory and Hope Haven during that week. I had not informed Mr. Mahr of my getting hired at Hope Haven, because I wanted to see how things worked out there with the workload, clients, and other employees first. Trying to juggle both jobs, I requested for Mr. Mahr to take a day off my schedule because I was scheduled to work every day on the week of the 22nd of August. During the week of the 291h, I asked him to clear my schedule after I worked on the 29th, but I did not say why. I wanted to speak with him in person about the new job and to see if he would let me continue to work at the Old Factory one or two days a week. So, on September 91h 2016, 1 went to his house to talk to him, but his wife answered the door. She told me he was out of town and then gave me a thank you letter from Bibles for Missions for helping them emcee at Arts on Central on August 17`h 2016. She wanted to know why I needed to talk to him, but I just told her I would send him an e-mail later that evening. Her house was on the way to the house where I worked for Hope Haven, so I continued on to work. I arrived at 4pm and after about 30 minutes, we took off to Fareway to help the clients with shopping for groceries. While there, I received a phone call from an unknown number and when I called it back, it was a call from the sheriff who told me he had papers to serve me. I thought it was concerning the eviction notice that Mrs. Diane Broek had served to me on July 26`h 2016. So, I told him he could come to the house after 10pm when I returned from work. He wanted to know where I worked, but I would not tell him as I did not want him to come to my job. He insisted, but I told him if he wanted, I could come to the precinct and pick the papers up there at which time he told me he needed to get them to me right away. So, I told him I would get them from him after 10pm and we got off the phone. We returned to the house where the clients stayed and started to prepare for dinner. As we had dinner and chatted away, there was a knock at the door. My co-worker looked out the door and to her surprised said, "There's a sheriff at the door." Immediately, I told her to tell him I was not there and that she did not know me. She tried, but they insisted on seeing me and when she came back in, she said they had a court order to take me into custody. I refused to go out, because at that moment, I knew I was being setup for something horrific. How did they find me in such a short period of time, because I never shared with anyone I had a new job? Mrs Emily Mahr, Mr. Mahr's wife, works for Hope Haven and when Mrs. Van Roekel asked me if I had told Emily, I told her I had not. I asked her if she had and she told me she did not tell Emily either. So, how did they know? After failing to convince me to go outside, my co-worker called Mrs. Amy Van Roekel, the residential director who hired me. She arrived within 15 minutes, but talked to the deputies before coming inside to talk to me. I asked her what it was about and she said she did not know, only that I had to go with them and if I did not go outside, she would have to give them permission to come into the house. She did not want the clients to see the deputies there and neither did 1. Before going out, I asked her if it would affect my job and she said it would, if I did not go out. I knew it would be traumatizing for the clients to see the deputies in the house and after discussing my options, which were not many, I decided to just go to the door to see what it was about. However, that was not good enough for Mrs. Van Roekel as she insisted I exit the house. I did and when I asked them what it was about, Deputy Mora told me a court order had been issued by the judge to have me committed to emergency for evaluation. I could not believe it and did not go willingly, so I tried to go back into the house, but it was locked. At that moment, I knew Mrs. Amy Van Roekel role which was to usher me out of the house and then have the door locked, so I could not get back in. This was all conveniently planned to happen on a Friday, so I would not be able to talk to the judge, seek legal advice, or tell my side of things as I am doing now. No matter what, I would have to stay there for two days. Please see the video to see what happened. I was committed to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa. While there was an on-call physician assistant (PA), Ms. Laurie Warren, who almost immediately started asking me questions with a belligerent tone. She would not let me finish my sentences and when I refused to give her my blood, she told me if I did not cooperate, they would keep me there until my scheduled court date on September 14th 2016 at which time the judge would have me permanently committed after reading her evaluation. Upon my return, they would then inject me with some sort of tranquilizer to get what they needed. I still did not give it to her. She kept calling me paranoid and told me that if any of the allegations were true in the affidavits, I could be committed for a very long time. She was my PA for Saturday and Sunday and I felt her role was to intentionally treat me with harshness, in order to send a clear message that if I did not stop talking about Organized Gangstalking, this would be my life. Other than that, the environment and living conditions were up to standards. There were five or six other people inside with me; some came in voluntarily and others were either committed by the court or a family member. There was a young man there by the name of Shawn who said he was a client of Hope Haven. He was constantly being antagonized by one of the CPNs named Melissa who was of Mexican descent and tried to conceal her name. Her nametag was facing the wrong way, but I thought it was by mistake until I introduced myself to her. When I asked for her name she gave me a false one. Somehow, the nametag faced the right way exposing her real name and when I looked at it and said, "But I see Melissa on your nametag," she looked down and turned it facing wrong side outwards again. She kept accusing him of doing things he had not done. She seemed angry and told me that working at Mercy Medical Center could drive a person crazy. She used a lot of profanity not only in front of the patients, but also in front of certain co- workers. When Monday finally arrived, I met my assigned PA, Mr. Brian Paugh, who acted very professionally. We talked and he could find nothing wrong. I was told I would see Dr. Josette Lindahl later that day. She arrived and gave the same diagnosis as Mr. Paugh and based on what the affidavits stated, she told me that if I had feelings of the government doing underhanded things, it does not make a person crazy. I know this and so does everyone else, but it was not my conversations about Organized Gangstalking with Mr. Mahr that got me committed. It was the fabrications in the affidavits that would make any person believe I was an imminent danger to myself and others. I do not deny speaking with Mr. Mahr about Organized Stalking but the following are lies he told, in order to convince the judge I needed to be committed. Fabrications: Firstly, Mr. Mahr states, "I don't believe she has a weapon, but has expressed openly that she will do what she has to, to protect herself." This is a bold face lie. Anyone who knows me knows that is not how I deal with things. Because I know in the name of Organized Gangstalking, every effort is made to make the targeted person look mental, suicidal, or homicidal, I have always made a point to make it very clear I would never commit suicide or homicide. I have stated this to Mr. Mahr as well, not only verbally in July, but also in writing. I sent him and others attached Word documents by e-mail on August 21" 2016. 1 know he read the document because he states that I rest consistently on circumstances that are normal like a plumber leaving a jacket to validate my claims. In order to give you insight into what he alleges, on March 17th 2016, a plumber named Jim from Visser Plumbing and Brother came into the house to install a new toilet and while he was in the house, he touched my butt. Later, after leaving, he texted me to say he may have left his jacket behind. Yes, leaving a jacket behind is a normal circumstance, but touching someone in a sexual manner without consent in a private setting and then texting that person to imply they may have to return because of that jacket that may or may not have been left behind implies inappropriate and unwanted sexual advancements. Mr. Mahr's statement about this incident with the jacket tells me he read the 39 -page document addressed to Officer Jim Pottebaum which clearly states the following on page 7 of this document, "I am going to say it as I have stated it before in my other letters, there is no way on this GOD's given planet that 1 would ever resort to suicide or homicide. You do not allow a system not of GOD to end your life in this way, because if you believe in GOD in the way you should, you know HE is the only one in control. " I do not know what weapon he speaks of, but if it's a gun, I made sure to tell Mr. Brian Paugh that I do not own one — never have and never will. When asked if I owned one, I explained to Mr. Paugh my ideas about guns changed after living in Japan, a gunless society, for over a decade. More than 80% of the people who own guns are killed by their own gun, because many people who own them like the idea of having them, but are not really prepared to take a life when face with that possibility allowing perpetrators to gain the advantage. Overall, I think they bring more harm than good. I explained all of this to Mr. Paugh. Secondly, Mr. Mahr checks the following, "The person is seriously mentally impaired: They are suffering from some sort of mental illness and because of that illness they are unable to make good decisions about their own treatment and is likely to injure themselves or others if not treated. Examples: The person has threatened suicide, or has been prescribed medication for mental illness but is not taking the medication and is dangerous to himself or to others" I have never threatened the life of anyone and have never been prescribed medicine for a mental illness. How is it possible for the owner of a coffee shop where hundreds of people may visit within a week's time permit a seriously mentally impaired person to work for him? Thirdly, Mr. Mahr states, "She claims as a TI it is wise to be armed or ready to defend yourself against anyone who is threatening you." This is the kind of lie that could have gotten me shot by a police officer and there is simply no truth to any of it. Next, Mr. Mahr states, "Atlas and I tried to find a way to help her get to a therapist, but that was unsuccessful." The only time I spoke with anyone from Atlas (a company that provides certain services for people with financial difficulties) was about looking for a place to rent and the meeting scheduled to discuss the matter in more depth did not happen. Because I missed the meeting time which oddly enough was scheduled at closing time (3pm) at Atlas with a woman named Aria, she left information about housing at the Old Factory on public display. It was personal information and as such, I put it in the trash without looking at it. I decided to look for a place on my own. I contacted Orange City Plaza and was approved for an apartment by mail on September 2nd 2016 (Please see attached document). Atlas nor Mr. Mahr ever talked to me about their concerns for my mental health. They never expressed concerns in writing or verbally. Lastly, Mr. Mahr states, "Sharmeen is now in the process of being evicted, is cancelling work, and will not see a doctor concerning an infection in her mouth." Dental work is extremely expensive and being that I could not afford it at the time was the only reason why I could not see a dentist. However, I did go to the doctor, in order to get antibiotics to treat the infection until I could get to a dentist. After getting dental insurance, I still could not get to a dentist that would accept new patients or Medicaid in Sioux Center, Iowa as I am without a car. When I went to Mr. Mahr's house on the week of the 28th of August, he could not take me because he was on daddy duty which is why this reads so preposterous. He knew I was making the efforts and yet, he writes this as a concern in his affidavit? He even sent me an e-mail with information about Rides, a transportation company that provides rides to people to the surrounding towns. What is even more preposterous is that I had a root canal on September 8th 2016 with Dr. Hiserote in Sioux Center, Iowa, the day before I was taken into custody by Orange City deputies. Mr. Steve Mahr is a well-respected member in the community and he used his status in the community along with false statements to have me committed. If he had talked to me about any of his concerns, he would have known better, but I believe he did no better. Their actions cost me my job and apartment, because now, I do not have the money to afford the apartment which is the desired outcome for targeted people. If Mr. Mahr was truly my friend as he states, he would have consulted me first about his concerns, called me while I was in Mercy Medical Center, and tried to reach out to me when I was discharged. He is not a friend and he never was, frankly. He was used to have me committed, because they could not do it otherwise without fabrication being extremely obvious. It was never meant to have me permanently committed, but it was however meant to make me lose my job and the chance of moving out of this house leaving me quite destitute. It was a scare tactic to inform me this new age Stasi has the power to do anything it wants by using the people you LOVE and respect the most. The message is that it owns everything and everyone. Targeted people are kept at a level where we are always dependent on others for the smallest of things and if we do not cooperate, those people we rely on evict us, fire us, have us mentally institutionalized, or worse - using the law to validate their untruths. I have provided some proof below to support some of the things mentioned above. Please read the following: The e-mails below concern my asking Mr. Mahr if he could take me to the dentist that day. Later, while working at the cafe, Mrs. Mahr offered to let me use her vehicle, if I needed to go to the dentist.

I notified Regan before I left and now, I'm notifying you as I think this is proper procedure. I didn't want to leave her there alone, so I figured if I went home and took the medicine, it could hold me until closing. We both finished at around 10:30pm. Respectfully, Sharmeen D.

I really am sorry. I want to convey that this is not something I would do intentionally at all, and I'm sorry if it seemed like it was.

It was definitely intentional. I am ccing this to Brad, so that he reads it directly from me. Seeing as how Brad Is a member of management, I would expect better behavior. Respectfully, Sharmeen D Jones On September 13th 2016, 1 was discharged a day before the hearing. Dr. Lindahl came into my room and told me she did not feel the need to keep me there longer, because she saw no signs of my being an imminent danger to myself or others, due to a mental illness. Before returning to Orange City, I was told by the court appointed lawyer, Mrs. Debra De Jong, the case would be dismissed and there would be no need for a court hearing. Upon returning to Orange City, I went to see Mrs. De Jong because I wanted her give me more detail about the hearing and the diagnosis. Over the phone, she told me it was rare for court committals to be discharged, prior to the hearing date, even if there is no sign of mental illness. When I met with her on September 16"' 2016, she thought some of the procedures were not handled properly. In a nutshell, it was as if it had never happened because there was no mental illness. Of course, as it was only meant to humiliate me and scare me into silence. On September &h 2016, Mrs. Amy Van Roekel contacted me and told me the only way they would consider keeping me on as an employee was to get a letter from the sheriffs office that no charges had been brought against me, give them permission to speak with Mrs. De Jong, and provide a doctor's note stating I could return to work. Please look at the following e-mails between Mrs. Van Roekel and myself.

After receiving everything, she said she still had to speak with Human Resources in Rock Valley, but from her experience, I would continue with Hope Haven, but would not be able to work at the OC318 house where I was before and may have to relocate to a different city. I assured her I understood her decision and would not have a problem moving because I had to move anyway. In all that I find to be true about the personality of people, it almost seemed as if she did not like my answer. It was as if she wanted to see disappointment in my expression.

Philippians 2:13 I contacted her on September 23" 2016 at which time she told me Hope Haven decided not to keep me as an employee because of my behavior. How would you behave, if you know you are not an imminent danger to yourself or others due to a mental illness, but in spite of this, a deputy shows up at your workplace to haul you off to a mental institution, especially when you do not know if the laws about court committals apply to you? Without anyone to support you, this law can be used to falsely accused people and have them committed on the words of strangers. I believe it to be a very flawed law. After writing the letter like she wanted giving her permission to speak with my lawyer, she told me they never called her as they did no longer needed to speak with her after making their decision. I thought the point was to speak with the lawyer, in order to make a more well-informed decision. If Mrs. Van Roekel had any intention of keeping me on as an employee, she would have contacted Mrs. De Jong. I do not fault Mrs. Van Roekel, as a residential manager, for looking out for the best interest of Hope Haven, but she was disingenuous from the moment she ushered me outside to be taken into custody by the deputies to the moment she gave me the news of not continuing my employment. I was not even given the chance to work, in order to financially support myself while looking for a new job. I have provided further information below to support my point of view. Please watch the following video using a VLC media player. I am not sure, but they may work on your computer using another media player. The date stamp on each video is incorrect. I have provided the correct dates in the descriptions below: A.) My last day working at the Old Factory on August 29th 2016 (OldFactory08292016A and OldFactory08292016B) Part A - At the very beginning of the video, Sara, nearly blows smoke in my face as I walk pass her and gives me a very weak "Sorry;' but I keep focused on work. Mind you, she was not that day. Around 3:00, she's directly behind me while I am trying to work. Around 5:18 of the video, she stands behind me instructing me on how to work the machine and then interrupts my sale to pay her tab. At about 22:25, Kaitlin is behind the counter and finished working when Brad had. Part B - At the very beginning, Sara is sharing a cigarette with Jake Miller. At around 2:30, Bard comes into the shop to make himself a drink. Yet, another person behind the counter who is not scheduled to be working at the time I was working. He clocked out at 6pm and the time then, is about 7:45pm. There's very little room behind the counter and no one should really be back there, if they are not working. Yet, I never complained about it, because I was placing all my attention on my job. Anyone observing this would find it highly unprofessional. B.) The Orange City deputies taking me into custody at the OC318 Hope Haven house —The video speaks for itself (September 9th 2016) C.) Mrs. Debra De Jong's explanation of the dismissal (September 16`h 2016) To sum it all up, 1. 1 have been blacklisted from well -paying jobs which has not allowed me to save the money I need to move out of the house that belongs to Mrs. Diane Broek's father, Mr. David Van Peursem. 2. After complaining about it to many high officials, I was given the opportunity to work for Hope Haven in Orange City, Iowa. 3. 1 was taken into custody due to false allegations made by Mr. Steve Mahr and Mr. Bradley Smith which jeopardize my employment with Hope Haven. 4. 1 was approved for apartment rental by Orange City Plaza Apartments, but cannot move out because of losing my job at Hope Haven, as a result of Mr. Steve Mahr's and Mr. Bradley Smith's false allegations. Even if you do not believe in Organized Gangstalking, it should be evident that my committal to Mercy Medical Centerwas senseless, cruel, and without justification. For the past two days, a deputy has come to the house, but I will not answer the door due to what transpired on September 91h 2016. It is quite evident that I will not be able to find steady employment in Orange City, Iowa. I cannot continue to live in Mr. Van Peursem's house as Mrs. Broek's and her family need to sell it, in order to pay for Mr. Van Peursem's care. So, what other options do I have? I have cced this letter to my pastor who I could not reach while at Mercy Medical Center. At the moment, I attend the Redeemer United Reformed Church in Orange City, Iowa. I did however speak with the chaplain at the hospital and her words were very encouraging. I mentioned this as I truly believe I will be fine as long as my faith in GOD does not waver and it never will. I was brought up as a Southern Lutheran in the deep woods of Alabama and often attended Baptist churches with my grandmother and learned that nothing is more supreme than GOD. Respectfully, Sharmeen D. Jones
