Gang Stalking and Conspiracy Theories

What Is the Relationship between Gang Stalking and Conspiracy Theories?

If you spend a few moments browsing through websites dedicated to the subject of gang stalking, you’ll find that you’re never more than a click or two away from delving straight into the wormhole of a hallmark conspiracy theory, such as mind control, chemtrails, or even alien abduction. What exactly is the relationship between gang stalking and the world on conspiracy theories? Why do fringe online communities all tend to come together in one inclusive bundle?

The obvious answer to this question is that gang stalking itself is simply a hallmark conspiracy theory. However, even accepting this answer as true, it still begs the question: why do all conspiracy theories and fringe communities stick together so closely? Stated another way: Why do the alien abductees tend to flock together with the chemtrail crowd, who tend to flock together with the mind control crowd, who, in turn, tend to stick together with the gang stalking crowd?

Every conspiracy theory is based upon a combination of hard facts and wild speculation. Any given conspiracy theory is impossible to dismiss outright, since there area always at least a few hard facts involved. For example, with chemtrials, it is true that airplanes leave bizarre and at times ominous-looking trails of exhaust as they fly overhead. Then comes the outrageous claim: those exhaust trails are actually chemicals that the government is spraying over the population for any number of horrifying purposes. Although it’s easy to see an airplane flying overhead leaving a trail of exhaust, it’s almost impossible to fact check the conspiracy theorist’s claims. People get together to share their anecdotes and (impossible to fact check) bits of “evidence,” and rumors spread.

Nearly everyone is aware of the fact that airplanes leave an exhaust trail as they fly overhead. So, why do only a select few freak out about it so much? Are these believers simply less naïve than the blind masses? Or, alternatively, are they actually extremely paranoid people who easily convinced that the government is forever up to terrible mischief because the government (or any other figure of bureaucratic authority) is obviously up to no good?

Here’s a dose of hard facts: yes, the government spies on everyone; yes, the government (and governments throughout history) tends to overstep its bounds and get up to mischief; and yes, it has been verified that certain gang stalking tactics have been employed against innocent victims. This list of hard facts is comparable to: yes, airplanes fly overhead and leave a trail of eerie-looking exhaust. The person with hallmark paranoia will eagerly append the most popular speculations that are readily supplied by fringe communities online.
