Reconnecting After The Gaslighting
By Sharon Devaney
I had a long-talk with my friend Don Rosenberg yesterday, Sept. 29. It was the first one in about a year. It wasn’t for lack of trying. My phone calls went to voice mail and were not returned. Neither were my emails.
A few weeks ago I made some changes to my communication system. I called Don and, lo and behold, he called me right back.
He wondered where I had been.
Don, who lives in Los Angeles, met when I reached out to him after watching his YouTube channel.
Don, like myself, had his life horribly altered in an incident involving an illegal alien. I wanted to let him know he was not alone.
Don suffered more, though. His son was killed.
Both incidents were were vehicle accidents with the drivers being illegals. Neither was credentialed to be on the road.
Yesterday, I learned that Don had also internet harassment. He said he has gotten cyber-threats with untraceable IP addresses. He also told me website — which involves listing victims of illegals — had been hacked and taken down.
It’s AVIAC.us and is the process of being restored.
My persecution mostly involved isolation. I was cut off from clients, friends and family. One friend who I met by chance asked why I hadn’t returned her calls for months. She had left voice mails.
Another told me that she had been emailing me monthly after I replied, today, saying it was the first I had gotten from her in well over a year.
A while back I was looking for an apartment. It puzzled me that none of my inquiries were answered. Since I made my changes I have been swamped by the places I was looking out.
To those who say it’s a mere technical glitch or a failure to understand out to use technology, I’ll point out that my bank account was looted of several thousand dollars — which it made good on following a police report — and that numerous courtesy accounts were found to have been changed to an AOL email that I hadn’t used since college and I thought was defunct.
When I went to cancel my Planet Fitness membership, I learned that I actually had two accounts, one not merely with my defunct address but with the a landline number that I had long forgotten.
Obviously, I was not receiving notices.
I filed the recommended online complaints with the FBI. I have an actual hope they might find who is responsible for the very real fear and misery I experienced.
Before you dismiss it, imagine yourself being cut off from just about everything you cared about and not knowing why.
Yes, the orchestrated cyber-attacks can be considered domestic terrorism.
