(Medawar Thinks that this old post might be of interest to new readers, so he's re-instated it.)
Sometimes, like a forest fungus, corruption in a public service can remain hidden, except for its fruiting bodies. But these only appear under certain conditions, and often at only one spot when the fungus is an underground organism extending fifty yards. Hundreds of such large hidden organisms may be symbiotically linked together into a super-organism the size of the whole forest.
The difference, of course, is that corrupt officials and police officers do not have a legitimate ecological function: they are pathogenic. And, like all criminals, the harm they do is not limited to the amount they take, because every criminal enterprise destroys or suppresses the opportunities for several legitimate ones. There is no scientific evidence to define the ratio of legitimate income lost versus criminal income taken, but the proverb about criminals preferring "a dishonest shilling to an honest pound" should be borne in mind. (Twenty to one, for the young people, or Americans.)

It seems such an obvious thing: to make the mainstream economy work better (or these days, at all) and to everyone's benefit, we first need to clean up the black economy and get rid of the thugs who intimidate, embezzle, extort , dope and vandalise legitimate business, out of business. Well, why can't we do this simple and obvious thing? Because of corruption. That's what makes the corruption super-organism pathogenic: it hides and protects all the things which are killing our society.
In a very similar way, in fact, to the way some viruses manage to evade or even manipulate the immune reactions that might get rid of them. Medawar wonders if there's a way of copying some of the more recent vaccine-creation strategies, and applying them to the task of chasing corruption out of British and American society.
The key to all of these, is a safe way of distinguishing infected cells, or corrupt individuals, so that they can be targeted without harming any healthy cells or honest individuals.
If we do this behaviourally, we look for something that nearly all corrupt policemen, planning officers, politicians, mortgage compliance officers etc. do, and honest ones do not.
Build big and expensive additions (extensions) to their house? Well, possibly, but so do people who've simply worked a lot of overtime, or mortgaged themselves to the hilt.
Go on holiday a lot? Well, the same applies. In fact, for all the "fruits of criminal activity" angles, there is a danger of sucking in innocent individuals, one way or another. Besides, with the fungus, the fruiting bodies don't tell you very much about the multi-stranded underground organism.
What we need is a distinguishing activity that identifies and lays bare all the little underground threads. All the connections between the fungal system on the roots of one tree and that on another. The links between HIV in white blood cells and in brain tissue. Something fundamental to corruption itself.
We need to apply our minds to the most basic characteristic of corruption: why does it exist at all, what is it for?
When a mobster corrupts a policeman, he may arrange for the policeman to get money, or to have sex with an under-age prostitute (without paying, naturally) or he might get the policeman's cousin an easy but well-paid job. But in his heart, the mobster doesn't really want the policeman to enjoy any of these delights, and he'd much prefer that the policeman met a sticky end, perhaps cycling down the A6 Barton by-pass, or hadn't been born. (The ironic Russian phrase for an unexpected moment of golden hush translates as "A policeman is being born.")
The mobster wants the policeman to do something, and even at that, it has to be something that the mobster's own henchmen and relatives cannot do for him. To begin with, the newly-corrupted policeman may indeed carry packages or handle money, but these are things the mobster would prefer a non-policeman to do, and they are done solely to test the policeman out and get him throughly implicated in crime and therefore reliable.
But then we get to what the mobster needs, specifically, a policeman for. And it is these things:
1/ Keeping tabs on people: following them around if necessary, noting who they meet, what they buy, who they buy things from. A policeman is provided with all kinds of resources that make this activity easier for him, than for the mobster's other employees.
2/ Threatening people. This is something that policeman are good at. After all, if someone is being threatened by the police, who they gonna call?
3/ Harassing people. Policemen are paid to be out and about, to patrol a given area. They are well placed to harass people, and the fact that it's a policeman doing it, makes the harassment much more frightening and minimises the risk of the victim being able to get any sort of help.
4/ Identifying specific types of people, such as witnesses and complainants. As well as emerging rival mobsters. And threatening or harassing them.
If we're talking about a corrupt planning officer instead of a policeman, then he's corrupted, usually, by a property developer rather than a mobster (there isn't always a clear difference) but the list of activities is broadly similar.
Apart from facilitating any planning application by his property developer, the bent planning officer will provide intelligence on rival developers and on members of the public who object to the developer being given planning permission. He will probably try and sabotage applications by the developer's rivals, and members of the public who object to controversial schemes will be harassed if there's any applicable way to do it. (Such as pretending that objections are based on race or homophobia, or something else equally un-PC.)
Likewise, the bent bank officer who clears loans for the developer's projects, or helps hide the mobster's drugs profits, will also be engaged in providing intelligence on the affairs of rivals and potential victims, witnesses or complainants.
This is where we get from organised crime, to organised stalking.
Because once you define what is common to the behaviour of corrupt police officers and other public officials, regardless of precisely who they are corrupted by or what that person's business is, you have a working definition of the phenomenon of "Organised Stalking" aka "Gangstalking" or "Community-based Harassment". Only some of those involved in this kind of organised stalking will be policemen or officials, but pretty well all corrupt policemen, or corrupt bank officers, or corrupt public officials, will engage in activities that will fall within a broad definition of organised stalking, simply because that's the whole and only point of corrupting them in the first place.
Now, until very recently, it has been standard police practice in both the United Kingdom and the United States, to maintain that there is no such thing as organised stalking and that any complaints of it are evidence of delusions. However, last week, at Winchester Crown Court, a large group of ALF terrorists, were convicted of crimes which fell comfortably within any definition of organised stalking, and both Kent Police and the national anti-extremism intelligence body of "NECTU" claimed due credit for their arrest and conviction. There's still a reluctance to look into organised stalking when it isn't totally clear from the outset that it's being done by animal rights terrorists, perhaps because there's such a strong likelihood of netting a policeman or two, but there shouldn't be.
Medawar expects that no policeman or public official will take part in organised stalking as a sadistic hobby, although some of the civilians involved might very well be doing precisely that. No, if you investigate a stalking gang and find a policeman, the litmus paper turns bright red and you have got a corrupt policeman. At which point you have three golden opportunities, rather than a problem:
1/ The primary difficulty with anti-corruption investigations within the police, is that they end up angering and even implicating, policemen who are either completely innocent, or largely innocent. Quite often, the bent officers plant evidence on straight officers. You need a way of sorting out the really bent ones from the crowd and of targetting them and them alone. Bent officers taking part in organised stalking, does this for you, really.
2/ As soon as you've got a policeman or public official, amongst the dozens of other odds and sods with conflicting and confusing versions of why they were stalking and harassing someone in the first place, you know that you have someone who will connect directly to the people behind that particular organised stalking gang. That will either be an organised crime boss, an urban terrorist such as the recently convicted master gangstalker Greg Avery, or a conman or pathological liar whose game it is to get a group of people, including policemen, dancing to his increasingly weird and sadistic tune. That will often be someone whom the police need off the streets as a matter of great urgency.
3/ You can actually stop the organised stalking activity in a given location, or against a given set of victims. This is actually a worthwhile and important payoff, because the single biggest factor in growing and nearly universal public distrust and disillusionment with the police, is that witnesses, complainants and victims of crime, tend to get harassed and the police are all too often, very visibly, seen not to do anything to help.
In other words, far from being a delusion, which can be ignored to save both police resources and face, organised stalking offers a short cut to dealing with corruption in public office, and that leads to better government, better business, a better-functioning economy and society.
Ignore all the "secret" and "classified" reasons why senior officers should tell junior ones to leave a case of organised stalking alone: these are merely lies and excuses. They are the conmen and liars talking. There is no national interest in letting it go on, but there is a profound national interest, in both America and Britain, in tackling the issue and rooting out all those behind it.
Medawar can think of members of Parliament, who appear to behave like organised stalkers. If his theory is correct, these will turn out to be the really bent ones, whose unmasking will get to the source of who is corrupting politicians these days and why, so much more than those who merely fiddle their expenses or fail to register the odd donation. Yes, it's wrong, but the really wrong ones will be doing some form of stalking, even within Parliament.
There will be no economic recovery at all, in any country that cannot drastically reduce the levels of corruption in public office and organised crime. Organised stalking is not a delusion, although those blighted by it, under stress, will offer confused explanations for the inexplicable things which are done, for reasons unknown to them, to torment and destroy their lives. Organised stalking is the achilles heel of those who are in the way of our economic recovery and social reconcilliation. Time to sow spikes in its path.

Don't forget legal stalkers, well-paid and equipped with all forms of support and devices: private detectives who work for lawyers, spouses, private individuals, corporations, insurance and/or political consultants.
The guilty party depends on who the P.I. is working for?
Not always.
In the case of a PI who was murdered, with an axe, in a pub car-park, the perp turned out to be a bent policeman who had arranged with the victim's business partner to take over his share of the PI business.
Links between bent policemen and private detective agencies are the bane of those trying to ensure the security of confidential information and criminal intelligence in the UK. Recent (and evidently unlawful) attempts to prosecute journalists for accepting information from sources within the police, largely serve to distract attention from those policemen selling information to PIs.
It isn't illegal for a serving policeman to have a financial interest in a PI firm, and it should be. Senior civil servants have to undergo a two year quarantine period before taking jobs with defence contractors and the like when they retire: policemen should have to serve at least as long after retirement before having any contact with a PI firm. Policemen who have been sacked could be subject to a lifelong injunction against EVER being PIs.
But Medawar's central point remains that if a stalking gang is investigated, the different members will all have different ideas about what it's all about and who benefits, but any bent policemen will be key assets, and therefore more directly linked to the top. Also, it is true that nearly every bent policeman in the country will be involved in stalking-type activities, because that's about the only thing it's worth corrupting them for.
Even if the only thing a bent policeman does, is sell his access to the Police National Computer, easily 90% of his sales will be the records on stalking victims. Following up the stalking complaints, properly, is the most efficient way to plug all these leaks, which will also deny intelligence on police operations to organised crime and terrorism.
You may have updated this post I have just found your blog. I found something interesting at wiki in its article about stalking. Go to the online stalking. Isn't it "ODD" that mob stalking is so readily accepted as applied to online? And isn't it odd these "flash mobs" do indeed happen? YET, for "some" reason we just cannot convince the popo that we are "not delusional." When I get a chance I am going to post on youtube what a Tampa Police officer did at my front gate. It is clear VERY CLEAR evidence of what they do in order to steal from you, have you examined, or other nefarious procedures. I was going to sue them because they yanked my gate and hurt my arm but I decided it was much better to publicize it. PLUS, of course, it seems every doctor in this town knew that there was not a serious problem with my shoulder ! Without even looking at it they would diagnose it ... so the police are so at the bottom of everything they are coated in that bottom slime. Most of them are rich. Here they own upwards of millions in real estate and hide the houses under fake names. OH YEAH THEY DO. Anyway, great post. I'm sure I'll be back. I HAD to find your blog through VOCC when I am at my busiest but the two blogs are irresistible. Her experience is almost exactly what has gone on here. I beileve they put just enough of a different spin on it OR have set patent liars out here and there to claim other events, that it has kept everyone arguing. Well, the gig is almost up. Did you read today that our Sept 11, 2001 analysts have been put to good use in our fusion centers? WTF? WTF? Thanks for your insight. I am going to try to blog and keep it clean this time so that people can and will link to it. it's called tampa gangstalkers meet texas gangstalkers. I've had MANY MANY people from texas stalk me here in tampa.

Do you rent a house from Don Day, or does he own property near yours?
He has extensive business links with the illegal "rulers" of Fredericksburg and Llano.
Just a theory that there's nearly always a proeprty developer involved!
