An ordinary person who is recruited as a patsy/useful idiot to harass a Targeted Individual in a gangstalking campaign. Using well-established manipulation tactics, the higher-level gangstalkers recruit Collaborators to carry out small actions, typically the delivery of conditioned cues and the spreading of rumors. The collaborators are usually not aware of who they are really acting for, and often would not even agree with the true objective of the gangstalking campaign. The use of numerous Collaborators makes the gangstalking campaign very hard to prove, and even harder to prosecute. The small actions of the Collaborators are shielded with plausible deniability. The Collaborators serve as a layer that separates the higher-level perpetrators and their clients/inducers from the victim. Under the Zersetzung program in communist East Germany, there would typically be only three Stasi agents assigned to each Targeted Individual. These Stasi agents would amplify the effort by recruiting numerous Collaborators, often people already close to the victim, to carry-out specific harassment tasks. This was very disturbing to the victims, as it created the impression that the whole world was against them.
