This is basically MKUltra being used by the corpos. These techniques, when practiced by paid intelligence operatives, I think generally involve manipulation in the real world in addition to internet stalking.
For example, going into someone’s home when they’re going to be gone for a while and moving things around. Something seemingly innocuous like an item being in an unusual or suggestive place can invoke a fear response in the target if it remains unexplained or is followed by additional incidents.
This could be coupled with targeted information placed in public in places the target is likely to frequent, such as their commute to work.
Targets are discouraged from talking about the incidents by stigma surrounding mental health, and if they get targeted enough it will become difficult for them to distinguish the actual attacks from regular information floating about.

Hmmm fair enough I just posted it there. I leave it up to the mods here. I think it deserves some visibility, and the other community is rather small by comparison

True, but it might be worth a crosspost. AF could use more content, which might help it grow.
