Targeted Individuals & The Importance Of Fences

A bizzarre and harrowing tale about harassment, gang stalking and beyond. Even as someone who is suspicious and untrusting of goverment officials...I can't shake the feeling this could've been avoided with the installation of a new fence on the vacation property. Expecting your cat lady neighbor to stop her cats from coming into your yard only makes sense if you've just landed on earth and assume felines respond to verbal commands.

I am still ultimately sypathetic with the author (R.I.P.) but even if her feud was with a neighbor with a family member in the local police department or mayors office they could leverage the state apparatus to surveil & annoy you too. Wrong is still wrong but man if you are taking up residence in a small town, all by your lonesome staying on everyone good side ESPECIALLY with the people across the street should be a top concern. Even with all of the crazy MKUltra tech arrayed against the author I couldn't help but think "Man that Exterminator should've put up signs on the property about the rat poison and pest control deployed at the residence" that way the onus is on the pet owners to keep their furry companions away from your house.

Non-Fiction

I related to this because I am also a targeted individual, just like her. Even though this is a novel, it should have been “Categorized” as a memoir (see what I did there!). I will recommend this to all TI’s!
