Note by Hunterbear: I'm filing this on several lists and with a number of individuals. And I'm doing this on the basis of intuition.
This is, believe me, much more tangibly real than even "earned paranoia." Like a great many life-long radicals indeed, I'm certainly used to all sorts of open and covert Federal and other kinds of witch-hunting and red-baiting and whatever. The FBI began targeting me when I was still in my very early 'twenties and, as I've noted at other points, I've since recovered via FOIA/PA more than 3,000 pages of my FBI file[s] which cover the time period from 1957 to 1979 and involve my being given various "high priority" agitator rankings: Section A of the Reserve Index, Security Index, and Rabble Rouser Index. [In addition, there are several hundred pages which FBI won't release to me short of a Federal court fight.] And then there are the hundreds of pages on us from the old Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission which we recovered a few years ago -- and which we immediately made public. [Not bad, I should say, for an outstanding member of Monsignor Albouy's Explorer Scout Troop at Flagstaff, Arizona.] We've always assumed -- without letting any of this inhibit us in any fashion -- that we are being targeted by various forms of official surveillance. Hence, we didn't, for example, find surprising the Fed/state/local task force situation [ via Clinton's 1996 "Anti-Terrorism" Act] which targeted us in the final stages of our North Dakota sojourn and then very much once we moved here to Eastern Idaho in 1997. I do have to say that some of the smear stuff [e.g., "Stalinist"] that I've encountered overtly on the Internet -- and of whose covert existence on the Net and environs I continue to learn -- is really bizarre. [I should add that anyone interested in learning the realities -- if indeed anyone is -- can find much indeed about me in all respects on our large Lair of Hunterbear website www.hunterbear.org and certainly via my Personal Narrative section http://www.hunterbear.org/narrative.htm ] The highlights of our Idaho experiences are on two pages which begin with this Link: http://www.hunterbear.org/hostility_and_harassment_in_idah.htm This includes governmental-type stuff -- and overtly racist stuff as well. Lately, there has been an increase in some weirdly surreptitious and hostile things. Here's just one example: At the end of October, 2002, I took one of my very frequent -- sometimes daily -- five and six mile hikes up into the very rough and rugged turf which begins almost at our back door. There was some fresh snow and, as always, I saw no other persons once I got into the basic very wild country. Very early the next day, I retraced that junket and suddenly saw the footprints of someone else -- from the previous day -- faithfully following mine over some considerable and increasingly rough distance. Then, when I entered the really rough and steep stuff -- and it was clear I was taking an obscure and extensive game trail almost straight up and from which I could see much down below and on all sides -- the person turned back. We never see other people near there and, as a very experienced tracker from childhood, I never see "sign" of anyone in dust or dirt and -- until this situation -- in snow. There's more, as I say, and more since then -- but that gives you some idea. For our part, we always keep fighting -- and success is always ours in the long run.
