Stalking by proxy is an insidious form of stalking no one wants to talk about or recognize.  Why?  Because it is commanded by either a politician or by a very rich person.  The politician or wealthy individual hires a private investigative agency to do the actual stalking.  The purpose is to destroy the targets or victims so that if they ever speak out, telling the truth of what they know, they will not be believed, having been discredited.  Some victims have been driven to suicide and others to having total and complete nervous breakdowns requiring hospitalization.  Hang in here with me for a while so I can explain the motives behind the stalking, the tactics used, the kinds of people used, the kinds of people who start these rather vicious character assassinations and more, and what it is that is lurking just out of sight that is really behind all of it.

There are various typologies, or classifications,  of stalkers.  The garden variety of stalkers one hears most about would be the domestic violence stalkers, the erotomanics, the love obsessionals, and the simple obsessionals, per "Stalkers and their Victims."   But there are other classifications as well, such as the rejected stalker, the resentful stalker, and the predatory stalker.  When it comes to stalking by proxy, I believe the resentful stalker and predatory stalker are the most likely to engage in this type of stalking.  We'll get back to them in a future post.

Stalking is a cause of psychological damage and a form of victimization.  Stalkers are dangerous.  Stalkers are criminals.  Stalkers are disturbed and unpredictable. ("Stalkers and their Victims:)  Stalking, by its very nature, involves inflicting distress and damage to another person.  Having been stalked for over 20 years, I can verify this is a truth.  Being stalked is being raped emotionally, psychologically, and your home is penetrated by people you don't know at all hours of the day and night.  You never know when you will be "safe," and when some very strange things start happening in your surroundings.

Stalking is usually of a long-term, persistent, pattern of conduct by one or more individuals meant to harass, threaten, intimidate, and destroy another human being.  In stalking by proxy, the politician or head bad guy utilizes the services of a professional private detective service --  well, maybe "professional" is not an accurate term.  Professional private detective services would not stoop so low as to do these evil behaviors.  Professional private investigators prefer to do their work within the letter of the law.  The private detectives then move on into the victim's own home ground, learn the person's activities, clubs, places of employment, if a business is owned, they will illegally get the client list and do a real hatchet job on the person.  They will fake photographs to make it look like the victim is having an affair or is a member of a Satanic cult or is a messy housekeeper, whatever they get in their heads to do.  They are experts at character assassination and in their relentless whispering campaign they ascribe traits and characteristics to the victim that are the opposite of what the victim is actually like -- more like traits possessed by the actual stalkers themselves.
