I was born in Takoma Park, MD; but raised in Northern Virginia. I currently live in Lancaster, PA and am a target of organized stalking, which is a modern day equivalent of the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) that occurred during the 1950s to the 1970s. This type of program still operates today in spite of the Senate hearings initiated by Frank Church; only this time, it extends beyond activists and has expanded to whistleblowers as well as ordinary citizens who have either found themselves in conflict with people in position of power or those with connections to such people, or have simply been chosen at random.
