More about Tara:"Hi folks,
Iâve had several lives. Iâve been a spoiled brat from the suburbs a graphic artist, an illustrator, a caregiver, a food service worker, a cashier. But what has consumed me the most in the past few years has been trying to survive being the victim of covert directed energy weapons and harassment!
The following is a letter I send out to lawyers, a senator, the ACLU or anyone who will help or listen. So far NO ONE HAS HELPED! All I get is an express ambulance to the nearest Psychiatric ward. HELLO âTHAT DOES NOT HELP, BECAUSE I AM NOT MENTALLY ILL!
Dear Ms. or Mr. Lawyer or Senator
I am writing to ask if you would be willing to advise me on whether I have a basis for a law suit against the Ramsey, New Jersey Police Department and Bergen Regional Psychiatric Hospital. I have been unsuccessful in finding a private lawyer and I would value your input considering your experience with the New Jersey Mental Health Care System.
On August 18th 2012 I was sitting at home trying to cope with and survive the fact that I am a victim of the U.S. system of targeting innocent individuals for covert torture and harassment, both psychological and physical. Three policemen came to my door and told me that my brother did not like what I wrote on my Face book page. I told them that it was protected by the 1st Amendment to the constitution, freedom of speech. I invited them in to look at my computer to see what I wrote. Next statement by them was that they were âhaving someone come in to talk to meâ. So I stood at the sink and did my dishes with 2 cops on either side of me as I waited nervously for I guess about 20 minutes to find out what was going to happen to me.
No one came to talk to me. I guess they couldnât be bothered waiting. They took me to Bergen Regional Medical Center without being screened by 262-help or given a court order. When we arrived at the hospital the policeman told the nurse at the front desk that âI had been wielding a sharp objectâ which was a lie! (my neighbor said maybe it had to do with the fact that I was doing my dishes? â a sponge is not what I consider a sharp object). When I spoke to the psychiatrist for the first time after being committed she told me that it was written in my file that âI had recently gone to the George Washington Bridge and tried to jump offâ which was also a lie! There is so much slander and defamation of my character that has gone on in the past several years that I canât keep track of it! I want all these lies and bogus diagnosis cleared from all my medical files.
This whole incident was a violation of my civil rights. You can not commit someone without a temporary court order or first being evaluated by a mental health screener. In addition I donât think anybody is safe if some arrogant young cop can come into your home and on his own judgment have you committed to a psychiatric hospital and make up lies about you to give the impression that you are potentially violent. I donât think anybody is safe if the police are allowed to do that to innocent individuals.
I have been tortured by Covert Directed Energy Weapons for over 19 months now. In December of 2010 I started having abusive voices and sounds directed at me, in addition to being physically assaulted by these weapons.
The postings I put on my Face book page were the best thing I have done in the last 19 months! If I had not posted them I would still be sitting here having my genitals zapped and my brain cells fried. If you want to read what I wrote you can go to my face book page. I am an artist so you can view the photos, characters and cartoons I have drawn to try and communicate about what I am going through.
I wish I had more time to be an artist and live and work in peace, unfortunately, I spend a lot of time writing to people who ignore me. I write to lawyers, the ACLU, the Legal services of New Jersey website, Senator Menendez. I Write letters to Government Agencies trying to get information through the Freedom of Information Act. In addition to trying to research topics such as the Patriot Act, laws against torture and new technologies and areas of research such as bioengineering , microscopic carbon nanotubes, nanomedicine, neuroscience and Brain computer interfaces, trying to figure what has been done to me, how and who let it be done to me. After doing all this research and writing I still donât have any answers and I am still suffering. I am not the only one.
My trouble started almost 3 years ago. I confronted my family about the harassment I had been experiencing, mostly at work. I will not go into graphic detail but, I was being tormented and psychologically tortured by my coworkers because they seemed to have some unnatural knowledge of everything that had gone on in my bedroom and bathroom over the course of the last several years. They would torment me daily with sexual insinuations -Insinuations about things, very private, intimate things about my habits and behaviors that no one would know unless there had been hidden cameras in my house. When I say they were private, I mean that they were things that no one should know except your bathroom walls. And I cannot repeat them because they were too priv...Expand for more
ate, mortifyingly so!
Itâs a lot more brutal and cruel than I can go into in this letter, but to make a long horror story short - My sister offered me a check for $3,000 dollars and when that didnât shut me up she called the police and a screener showed up and they had me carted off to Bergen Regional where I spent the night in the hallway before being taken to Summit Oaks psychiatric Hospital for a week. When I got to Summit Oaks the psychiatrist handed me a long list of untrue accusations my sister had made against me. She said among other things that I had âlunged at herâ and been physically aggressive towards her. I had been âverbally aggressive towards my elderly father and âdestructive to propertyâ. These were completely untrue and fabricated! The Psychiatrist then went on to say that if I did not cooperate I would be permanently committed to the state mental hospital.
They have done this to me every time they wanted to shut me up for almost 3 years now. This last time after my release and subsequent required follow up appointment with my psychiatrist - I continued to tell her as I have on every visit, that I am not delusional or psychotic that my âso called symptomsâ are due to Covert Directed Energy Weapons and Harassment. She absurdly persisted in her ridiculous role as toady operative of my family and the US Corrupt system of torture and tyranny to insist on pathologizing me and forcing me to take phyc drugs. Having just been released and not wanting to go back for another 11 days I sat there like a fool agreeing to take medicine I donât need. Waiting to get the hell out of there so I could get to the âso called âprivacy of my car where I could vent about the absurd fact that I can no longer afford health insurance to get the medicine I really need for my painful Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I have this little toady bullying me into taking phyc drugs I donât need for a condition I donât have!
I was also furious afterwards because these corrupt little absurd pawns of my family and the Government do not care that these psych. drugs have serious side effects like type 2 diabetes, parkinsons and glaucoma.
The response I received from my letter to the ACLU was that they only take cases that involve violations of constitutional Law.
⢠If being physically and psychologically tortured is not a violation of constitutional Law? What is?
⢠If having my brain tapped by some hi tech form of telepathy, where every single detail of every single thought I have is instantaneously read and then fed back to my coworkers etcâ¦. in order to isolate and alienate me from society and make it impossible for me to work, earn a living, socialize or be with my family, is not a violation of my âexpectation of Privacyâ? I donât know what is?
⢠If being arbitrarily carted off to a psychiatric hospital illegally by the police and locked up for 11 days because your brother does not like you going on your Face book page to report the crimes that are being committed against you. If that is not a violation of constitutional rights - I donât know what is?
⢠If being locked up for 11 days in a psychiatric Hospital where you are not given access to a patient rights advocate despite 3 calls to her office, and a social worker who walks away and refuses to talk to you is not a violation of civil rights I donât know what is?
⢠If being locked up for 11 days on a psychiatric ward and not provided with your rheumatoid arthritis medicine despite many requests for it is not a violation of civil rights. I donât know what is?
⢠If being given a false diagnosis of psychosis to intimidate, discredit and shut you up is not a violation of constitutional law? I donât know what is?
Over the course of the past 3 years the violations of my civil rights have become increasingly more frightening to me, which is why I am writing to see if I have a basis for a lawsuit against the Ramsey Police Department and Bergen Regional Hospital.
My family may have the connections, money and power to keep doing this to me, but I have a pen for writing/drawing and my big mouth to fight this no matter how much I get ignored. I do not feel safe having some arrogant young cop lying about me and making up false allegations, portraying me as a violent person or telling me that if I donât cooperate with them and leave my apartment to get in the ambulance they are going to put me in hand cuffs.
I am 50 years old. I am neither violent nor psychotic. I have no criminal record, no history of violent behavior and other than mild depression, no history of serious mental illness. That is up until 3 years ago when my family started using the mental Health system to try and shut me up, intimidate and discredit me. Up until 3 years ago I worked, paid my bills and my taxes just like everyone else. Now I have no job, no health Insurance (swollen painful feet and ankles) mounting psychiatric hospital bills, bad credit and issues of trauma stemming from so much consistent and continued torture, public harassment, humiliation and violations of my privacy.
I have included a copy of the letter I sent to Senator Menendez in May with this letter. It goes into a little more detail about what Iâve been through.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Tara Campbell".
