How can an individual or a Government destroy a scapegoat?

 

I'm Dr. Rich McLean, an Australian queer artist, author, activist, advocate, and academic. I find myself in an extremely challenging situation – I am homeless and squatting with no financial resources, unable to secure legal representation, and facing insurmountable obstacles as a failed whistleblower. Furthermore, I am unable to report crimes to the police. My life has been complicated by mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, ADHD, adjustment disorder, and a cognitive brain impairment resulting from a suicide attempt from which I was miraculously revived.

​

The circumstances I find myself in are not merely personal; they are part of a systemic and politically motivated pattern of targeting. This campaign of oppression has persisted for years and has led to severe violations of my human rights and dignity. Regrettably, it has been an arduous journey to find someone willing to acknowledge the extent of my sufferingor admit a conspiracy exists. That is because my oppressors have successfully infiltrated my inner circle of people and through my tireless self campaigning I am now infamous.

​

Despite my efforts, my documented human rights abuses, as cataloged by my NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) worker, remain unacknowledged by the company he works for, which refuses to sign off on this crucial documentation. Additionally, the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has refused to investigate my case, adding to my frustration and sense of helplessness.

​

It is morally unacceptable for a professional tasked with my care not to report a human rights abuse that occurred under their watch. I have implored Ibrahim of Personalised Support Services to do so. I currently reside in his house without paying rent, thanks to his charitable gesture, after I was hospitalized and lost my home. Initially, he had indicated that I could stay until permanent accommodation was secured, but the situation has evolved, and he has informed me that I must vacate the premises by Friday, 6th.

 

Recently, I asked Chat GPT to outline the methods an individual or government might employ to destroy a scapegoat, and it provided the following list: Character Assassination, Isolation, Gaslighting, Legal Persecution, Financial Ruin, Harassment and Intimidation, Surveillance, Institutional Complicity, Silencing Dissent, Propaganda and Disinformation, Legal Barriers. Remarkably, all of these tactics have been deployed against me, and I will detail each of them in point form below. I hope that by shedding light on these injustices, I can find the support and acknowledgment I so desperately need to address my current predicament.

​

Upon a thorough examination of this page, accompanied by the extensive evidence supporting the claims made, it becomes abundantly clear that a tyrannical government conspiracy is undeniably at play. The evidence presented paints a troubling picture of systemic misconduct and intentional deceit by government agencies and individuals.

​

For example, the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (OPMC) initially acknowledged the complexity and volume of your Freedom of Information (FOI) request, only to later deny the existence of the requested documents. This contradictory stance by OPMC is not only factually incorrect but also raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability within the government.

 

Furthermore, despite being a democratic citizen with a clean criminal record, you have been unjustly banned from the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), resulting in significant financial detriment. This raises fundamental questions about access to justice and fair treatment within the financial system.

 

Additionally, the Australian Human Rights Commission's (AHRC) refusal to investigate your well-documented human rights abuses, despite being tasked with upholding such rights, is deeply troubling and contradictory to their mandate.

​

The involvement of a powerful lawyer, Russell Ball, who openly advertises his influence over government policy and advises the Ombudsman, in representing a GP you had filed a malpractice complaint against in 2017, raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and impartiality within the legal system.

​

Your rejected Public Interest Disclosure (PID) from the Commonwealth Ombudsman, along with their refusal to engage in further correspondence, underscores the significant barriers and challenges you have faced in seeking justice and accountability.

​

Perhaps most troubling is the fact that your former partner of five years, to whom you were engaged, was an employee of ASIO. Despite this, no government agency will acknowledge the existence of your relationship, which is vital for your claim of an equitable split of assets and equity, considering the exploitation you endured during your time together and his substantial wealth. This lack of acknowledgment by government entities, including Centrelink, ASIC, AGIS, the Commonwealth Ombudsman, the OPMC, the Prime Minister's office, AFCA, AHRC, and the Tax Office, points to a cover-up at the highest levels of government.

​

This cover-up, along with the influence wielded by your former partner and the lawyer, has had a profoundly detrimental effect on your victimization, as it has effectively denied you access to the law and equality before the law. Such actions stand in direct contradiction to the Charter of Human Rights of a Person with a Disability, which the government ratified in 2008, further emphasizing the disturbing nature of this conspiracy.

​

Adding to my difficulties, I live with a cognitive brain impairment that significantly impairs my memory and my capacity to plan for my life. As a targeted individual, I've seen my human rights gradually erode away. Access to healthcare is rare and often ineffective. Financially, I've hit rock bottom, having lost settlements, legal cases, work cover, income assistance, and experienced refusals for settlements with my partner, hospitals, malpractice issues, TPD insurance, and rejections from VOCAT. I've also been silenced as a whistleblower and am unable to report crimes to the police.

​

My current reality is one of constant electronic surveillance, where I'm subjected to subsonic noise laden with derogatory insults. It's a form of harassment that's always present but maintained just below the volume needed to record as evidence. Looking back, I used to be known in niche circles for my work. However, with hindsight, it's evident that I was exploited. Now, I've become a notorious vagrant, left behind and abandoned by those who once knew me.

​

I am writing tonight on 28.09.2023 the very short versions because I have no home, no money, no legal help, no advocate, my money has been taken from me, I’m banned at government agencies, I’ve been conspired against, brutalised, sexualised as a child, beaten up, incarcerated, intimidated, I have threats to kill, I am under surveillance, Im the victim of conspiracy which the persecution forced me to kill myself. 

 

The intelligently designed poverty and financial abuse has continued years after I was revived from death and places me in immediate dander to my health my welfare my prosperity and my safety. Family violence underpins my despair and no government agency has ever admitted or acknowledged that my former fiancé and I were ever together. This is quite simply, delegitimising the truth and is a denial of fact equating to conspiracy and political corruption that elongates my poverty.

 

No one will help me here.I have enormous merit and a kind heart and I’m exploited to be harassed and abused.I am seeking an emergency intervention from your NGO in that I may simply have a home, food, medicine, shelter, a bed and internet connection for my dog and I. Impolitely requesting my human dignity be returned to me before it finally kills me. If you can’t help me please don’t hurt me anymore. I need  help from someone not associated with the Australian government and has an interest in human rights and disability and further can either gift or lend me prosperity or offer protection or legal assistance that I may be reimbursed for my murder and its conspiratorial cover up. Im opposed by dozens of powerful corrupt public officials lawyer and politicians.

​

Pleas help me by reading on in an extended narrative that explicates my perception with evidence.

​

I write much more now because of my brutal treatment as a vilified and victimised scapegoat and the fact I am going to be homeless in seven short days. I am hoping you may provide an urgent intervention to my housing either by providing a home or providing prosperity that I will be able to locate and move into my own home. I can offer with the enormous detriments detailed on this page that I can reimburse you when my detriments are paid if they are paid.I am also writing to get an acknowledgement of the profound victimisation oppression and documented human rights abuses that have plagued my life. This has been documented by my NDIS worker, Tash. It has however not been signed off on with either of the NDIS providers I have been with, nor the NDIS and The Australian Human Rights Commission who’s direct remit is to investigate such breaches refuses to investigate the report. This is simply another definitive way the Australian government are corrupt regarding my different treatment and my victimisation with pre determined outcomes due to my scapegoating.

​

Currently, I am in a desperate situation racing against the clock writing this story in order to  explain to you the hurt pain and suffering I have been systemically burdened with over years, and to gain access to a home to exist in for my dog and I.  This could be via donation, an investment that will be paid back to you by me when I am reimbursed, forcing an investigation, or by forcing a PID disclosure which would see my brutalised world investigated. I can barely believe what is happening to me but I acknowledge a malicious conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. It is difficult to accept your whole life has been based on deceitful lies and that the hate with which is of peoples energy that is transferred to you manifests over years and years forcing you to into isolation and introspection. It is foreign to me because I actually love all people. 

​

Australia has become a horrible place for me and so has my physiological and psychological psychological profile.  I have no money, I am homeless in one week on 3rd October, and I am scared. I am saddened the world would allow this harm to occur to me over years and its almost unfathomable that my blood family utterly reject me because they have been infiltrated in the conspiracy as people who would intimately support me. In this I find that my family members who were already stigmatising of gay people even homophobic and all succumbed to a ‘normal’ metro normative mediocre existence were dominate by the narratives of my oppressors and bought into their hype and lies. I consider this not indicative of critical thought and weak willed and they are also jealous of my achievements. 

​

I have never been able to get a lawyer, I cannot report crime that has happened to me including being drugged and raped to police, let alone report systemic corruption, and I am a rejected whistleblower at IBAC, NDIS, ASIC, The Federal court, OPMC, The Health department, APRA, and the commonwealth ombudsman. That is mostly because I was not considered a ‘public official’, but I have provided evidence that I was because I was employed in a public hospital, that the federal court were satisfied on evidence I provided that I was employed by DSS. Also I am the former partner of a public official high up in government which allows me to make a disclosure and additionally I was employed under a government contract to provide services for the government also qualifying me. This means my PIDs should have been acknowledged and investigated and even as I prove these documents to DSS who had rejected me for that reason, the authorised agent is now playing the delay, deny, defer game that is the government mantra.

​

On (date) I wrote this long letter to the prime minister of Australia and in a country of over 25 million he responded: yet it did not intervene in a meaningful way.  He referred me to the attorney general Mark Dreyfus, who has refused to acknowledge my phone calls out emails, and his office then referred me to two other statutory agencies, ASIS, who investigate ASIO, and the commonwealth ombudsman. ASIS already knew of my issue and the commonwealth ombudsman had already rejected my PID and refused further correspondance. 

​

This means that as an individual who is a citizen of this democracy with a clean criminal record I am blacklisted from an acknowledgement from the top tier down of a meaningful intervention to my plight from any government agency. All domestic advocacy with the Australian Government has now been exhausted. In hindsight my interactions with dozens of government agencies  had been informed by rumour and gossip, set up to fail, pre determined to lose, and act in any way that could intentionally redact my prosperity.

​

I live under coercive financial control from my former partner Stefan Iasonidis, he was a millionaire who exploited me and left me homeless and has refused a settlement for the fair separation our finances. I was also framed by a very powerful lawyer Russell ball who informs Government policy and advises the ombudsman, where I am a failed whistleblower and whom refuse all correspondence from me. He silence legitimate evidence before court or tribunal and even the transcript of that evidence at HCC,MHCC, The Police, IBAC,The Victorian inspectorate, AHPRA, NHPOPC and the ombudsman. These two individuals have been powerful nemesis in my life and have acted with enormous wealth political privilege and power in order to silence me erode my human rights and redact prosperity and they did it in a silent and faceless way that was both deceptive and cowardly.

 

I believe they are responsible for my situation. No Government agency or statutory organisation will admit that the relationship with Iasonidis ever existed.Because of this it can be said that the government has his back, and elongate and embolden the financial coercive controlled family violence that he enacts upon me via the complete lack of settlement that would acknowledge the relationship and be fair and equitable in the parting of ways. Apparently because of my whistleblowing, he as done for a million dollars in embezzlement for his corrupt finances and instead of accepting liability he blames me for his conduct and has used a carrier service to threaten to kill both me and my beautiful husky. I know he would because money was so important to him and he is greedy. Apart from that he is a person with intelligence but not soul and he needs money to keep him comfortable should his charm fail. He admitted to me he was present at murders when he used to deal cocaine. Frightfully intelligent he was master manipulator.

 

As a scapegoat in Australia, I have been foolishly asking for help from lawyers, politicians and public officials in government organisations for a long time for redress. I am aware that this has been a waste of time and further that decisions about my welfare my prosperity my human rights and prosperity have been pre determined, corrupted, and set up to fail, at the least byte very powerful and influential figures in former ASIO agent Steve Iasonidis, and lawyer Russell Ball, who informs Government policy and advises the ombudsman. 

​

The victimisation, gaslighting, character assassination, isolation, gaslighting, legal persecution, financial ruin, harassment and intimidation, surveillance monitoring, Institutional Complicity, social marginalisation, physical harm, silencing dissent, propaganda, legal barriers, and general persecution, vilification and victimisation forced my suicide in feb 2021. It was deemed ‘lethal’ in the hospital FOI. That’s called a conspiracy to murder. I was found with no observable pulse by accident unresponsive and was revived from certain death. After this conspiracy murdered me, the tragedy was met with a general whitewashing of the incident systemically and from Weribee mercy hospital up to and including the commonwealth ombudsman.

​

Previously, I had asked for my FOI from the office of prime minister and cabinet out of curiosity and to see if it would shed light on this impasse I have (OPMC). At first they asked via OAIC for more time for my FOI because it was ‘voluminous’ and ‘complex’ but then turned around and told me ‘no documents exist’. This was not only incorrect but a poorly veiled deceptive lie and this exemplifies the corruption. 

 

I would be known to the government and visible on the OPMC’s radar for the following reasons:

 

• I wrote a human rights awarded autobiography on my experience with schizophrenia, published by Allen and Unwin,

• It was awarded SANE’s ‘book of the year’,

• My former parter I was engaged to for five years was an Australian secret service (ASIO) agent and high ranking public official,

• I was a well known mental health advocate for people with mental illness and their carers, and spoke hundreds of times on local, state, federal and international levels in person and on TV and radio, including inside Australian parliament,

• I am exhibiting artist of more than thirty years nd have art in national collections,

• A documentary was made on my life and artwork from the Dax collection on the subject of mental illness recovery and art,

• I was awarded a Human rights certificate from VHREOCV,

• I had a position as an illustrator and news graphics artist for both The Herald Sun and The age newspapers which obviously had a public persona.

• I had been having trouble garnering a financial determination at AFCA who eventually banned me,

• I had real troubles getting my human rights acknowledged at AHRC,

• I had preciously written to the former attorney general micaelia cash about systemic corruption at AHRC and AFCA and correctly predicted my work cover case that was to come before the AAT was pre determined to fail as well.

• I had had a complaint about a GP and this was not acknowledged at different state and federal agencies,

• I had been an international traveller in my life and was sent home from the UK when I was refused a visa over applying to work,

• Reading back over this that Victoria police had a negative view on my character,

 

Looking back also especially in hindsight, I have had my prosperity consciously and maliciously redacted from me from the form of any settlement, legal battles, insurances, compensations, winnings, marital break up, or otherwise. The methodology to do this was systemically and politically orchestrated and its purpose was to rob me of power and comfort and make life an unyielding challenge financially and to live. Someone or something had the intention to make me suffer.

 

Here is some of what I lost in a financial ruin that has been years long in its abuse.  In this it can be acknowledged that my intelligently designed poverty is not the result of a character flaw nor weakness on my part but the result of prolonged and sustained attack on me as an individual:

 

• Unfair termination settlement from the Age newspaper, 2004

• Work cover settlement from 2004

• Incorrect TPD payment from 2008

• Medical malpractice settlement in 2017

• HCF income assist settlement in 2021

• Work Cover settlement in 2021

• Provisional payments from work cover 2021

• Business insurance payout 2021

• Former partner settlement

• Settlement for my cognitive brain impairment sustained inside a hospital the they owed a duty of care

• Sue for my business website maliciously destroyed

• Claim for loss after my worldly possessions were destroyed

• Detriments t of over 2 million after being banned at AFCA

• Detriments of over 1.5 million after insurance settlement was free kicked to opposition at AHRC

• Money to pay for my accomodation blocked from arriving at the NDIS/A

• Child sexual abuse redress from DSS delayed denied deferred

• VOCAT case for child sexual abuse case cited by magistrate as ‘doomed’

• VOCAT case for violent affray in which I was hospitalised with broken bones and slashes for intervening and sticking up for a member of the public rejected

• Compensated for being run over by a car (most likely a government vehicle)

• Compensation for being violently attacked inside a hospital by a not so undercover government thug

• Compensation for a provable conspiracy to pervert the course of justice causing death

• Compensation for the whitewashing of that tragedy by dozens of high ranking public officials who has a responsibility to act ethically with the public services act.

 

Destroying me as a scapegoat had its genesis in at least two or three individuals and they both have a government backing and support. Steve Iasonidis, my former fiancé and ASIO employee, and Russell ball, who informs government policy and advises the ombudsman. In addition, I lost my virginity to Debbie Morgan when I was nineteen on an oval at the local police and fire brigade celebrations. I was questioning my sexuality at the time and I believe that she had the support of the police not to pursue rape charges but to excommunicate me and label me in a derogatory way as gay and who had sexually assaulted her due to the questioning and insecurity of my naaive sexuality. I was met with gossip and slurs and homophobia and alluding comments regarding the whole issue. It affected my family and friends and at the time I experienced ‘auditory hallucinations’ at my place of work and additionally a man at my work made indirect but obvious reference to the event. Between these three genesis points it would create a ripple effect in which my life was to surmount to an experience in which the world saw and treated me differently, it encouraged isolation withdrawal and exacerbated an already existing vulnerability to psychosis. To add insult to a difficult life individuals then learnt of my paranoias and neurosis and they exploited that in power plays that always got a reaction of me freaking out in distress unable to comprehend that my company were intimidating and teasing and being cruel to me. I was gobsmacked and my reality suffered in aberrations. I was trusting an innocent and I discovered a world in which I was exploited and taken advantage of. I became a show pony for being mentally ill and enjoyed the attention something that was lacking growing up in a family that had already toxically scapegoated me.

​

These three people were the architects of my persecution and involved targeting and victimizing me to shift blame, divert attention from real issues or problems, or consolidate power. This destructive process which was prolonged was malicious and had a conscious agenda to cause me harm, and it included a combination of psychological, social, and institutional tactics. Here are some of the ways they did it, with examples from my life:

​

Character Assassination: 

​

Attacking my reputation, credibility, and character through spreading false rumors, misinformation, or propaganda. This can be done through media, social networks, or public statements.

​

• My illness identified at the Dax Collection and my art tokenistikally treated,

• At one stage the media came to my home and interviewed me for TV when I was high and unwell,

• I’ve self identified confidently with schizophrenia, now vilified for it

Targeting Vulnerable Groups: Persecuting not only the scapegoat but also individuals or groups associated with them, further isolating and weakening their support network.

 

 

COMBATING:

 

Combating the destruction of a scapegoat often requires a concerted effort from individuals, civil society organizations, and international bodies to expose the injustice, protect the victim, and hold the perpetrators accountable. Legal protections, media attention, advocacy, and public awareness campaigns can play critical roles in addressing such abuses of power.

 

Prevalence of scapegoating

 

The prevalence of scapegoating, whether on an individual, group, or societal level, is not specific to any one country like Australia; it occurs across the globe and can manifest in various contexts. Scapegoating can be observed in families, workplaces, communities, and even on a national scale. Its prevalence can depend on various factors, including cultural, political, and social dynamics.

​

In Australia, as in other countries, instances of scapegoating can arise in different forms:

​

Family Dynamics: Scapegoating can occur within families, where one member is unfairly blamed for issues or conflicts. This dynamic is not limited to any specific country and can happen in diverse cultural contexts    

​

Workplace Environments: Some workplaces may have toxic cultures where employees are scapegoated for problems or mistakes, often to deflect blame from management or colleagues.

​

Social and Political Context: Scapegoating can also manifest in the political realm, where certain groups or individuals may be targeted for political gain or to divert attention from systemic issues.

​

Cultural Factors: Cultural attitudes and stereotypes can influence scapegoating behaviors. These attitudes may vary among different cultural groups within Australia.

​

Social Issues: Scapegoating may be associated with various social issues, such as discrimination, racism, or intolerance. Australia, like other countries, has had its share of social challenges related to these issues.

​

Institutional or Organizational Settings: Scapegoating can occur in institutions, organizations, or communities where power dynamics may lead to the victimization of certain individuals or groups.

It's important to note that while scapegoating can occur in various settings, it is not representative of all relationships or situations. Many individuals and communities in Australia actively promote inclusivity, tolerance, and respect for diversity. Efforts to combat scapegoating and discrimination are ongoing, and there are legal protections and support systems in place to address such issues.

​

The prevalence of scapegoating in Australia, as in any other country, can vary over time and across different regions and communities. Addressing scapegoating often involves education, awareness, and efforts to promote empathy, understanding, and social cohesion.

 

 

Gang stalking refers to a set of harassment tactics, typically conducted by a group of people, against an individual, known as the target or victim. These tactics are often intrusive, relentless, and psychologically distressing. Gang stalking can take various forms, but it usually involves unwanted surveillance, intimidation, and harassment. The perpetrators may be strangers, acquaintances, or even people known to the victim.

​

Examples of Gang Stalking Tactics:

•     Surveillance: Perpetrators may follow the victim, track their movements, or place the target under continuous surveillance. This can include vehicles following the victim, unknown people watching the victim's home, or the use of hidden cameras.

•     Harassment and Stalking: The victim may experience persistent, invasive harassment. This can involve stalking by individuals, including cyberstalking, following the victim, and making intimidating phone calls or sending threatening messages.

•     Gaslighting: Perpetrators may engage in gaslighting, trying to make the victim doubt their own perceptions, sanity, or memory. They might move objects in the victim's home, leave subtle clues to suggest they are being watched, or manipulate the victim's environment to create a sense of disorientation.

•     Noise Campaign: Targets may experience a relentless campaign of noise harassment, including loud music, horns, sirens, or other disruptive sounds. This can disrupt the victim's sleep and peace of mind.

•     Cyberbullying: Gang stalking can extend into the digital realm. Perpetrators may hack into the victim's accounts, spread false information, or engage in online harassment through social media, emails, or other online platforms.

•     Vandalism: Targets may find their property vandalized or tampered with, such as slashed tires, damaged vehicles, or defaced personal belongings.

•     Community and Workplace Harassment: Perpetrators may attempt to isolate the victim by spreading false rumors, damaging their reputation in their community or workplace, or convincing others to participate in the harassment campaign.

​

Psychological Effects on Victims:

​

•     Anxiety and Paranoia: Victims often experience heightened anxiety, fear, and paranoia as they constantly feel watched and threatened.

•     Isolation: The persistent harassment can lead to social isolation, as victims may withdraw from friends and family out of fear or mistrust.

•     Depression: The ongoing stress and emotional toll of gang stalking can contribute to feelings of depression and hopelessness.

•     Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Many victims develop symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks, nightmares, and hyperarousal, due to the traumatic nature of the stalking.

•     Loss of Privacy: Gang stalking invades the victim's privacy, causing distress and a sense of vulnerability.

•     Physical Health Issues: Chronic stress and anxiety can lead to physical health problems, such as headaches, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances.

•     Deteriorating Mental Health: The cumulative effects of gang stalking can have severe consequences on the victim's mental health, potentially leading to psychosis or suicidal thoughts.

​

It's important to note that gang stalking is often associated with delusional disorders, where individuals believe they are being targeted when there is no credible evidence to support such claims. However, there are cases where gang stalking does occur, and victims require support and assistance to cope with the psychological and emotional impact of such harassment. In these instances, seeking help from mental health professionals and law enforcement can be crucial for the well-being of the victim.
