Ongoings... (Latest updates at the bottom of the page)

I'm delighted to report that as a result of my YouTube channel and this article, another one of Souren's sufferers has got in touch with me.
Naturally I'm not going to give any details away - suffice to say that their experience has been identical to all of us in what we've come to call 'The Batty Brigade'. So-much-so, in fact, that it's almost as if she's working from a playbook. If nothing else she's at least consistent - I'll give her that!

Their getting in touch means two things; they now know they're not alone - and another door closes on Souren's abuse network.
And I know there are other sufferers out there - and to you I'd say you're more than welcome to join the brigade if you so wish, but if not I do hope you'll find some satisfaction in the impact this article is having.

Souren's mental state is clearly deteriorating. In a recent video she admitted to having crapped in her pants. That's bad enough - but then she actually posted a video of her soiled underwear. Yep, she did that. I won't post the screenshot here as it'll likely put you off your dinner. And breakfast the next day.
She continues to blame assorted people/groups for her misfortunes - including fiddling about with her phone/laptop so that the batteries no longer charge, blocking her access to certain news channels and changing the language settings on her devices to Dutch.
Much of this sort of stuff is laughable, but she recently posted a video of a mutilated bird. I didn't quite get the blame for this but she took the opportunity to associate me with it. Again, I'll spare you the unpleasant photo...

One of my friends tipped me off to this post and I tried to post an appropriate comment - but, of course, it got deleted instantly.
However, it did prompt a ranty email from Souren...

My brother's supposed jealousy is the usual Souren bollocks - but what's important about this email is her outright admission that she has made death threats against me.
That's an extremely serious and damning piece of evidence that's going straight to the top of the pile - though as serious as it is one of my friends pointed out that she seems to be under the impression that death threats have a 'Best Before' date attached to them.

On a rather more sinister note, it seems that these bird mutilations started quite recently in Amsterdam - and it was brought to my attention that just prior to this outbreak Souren posted that she'd found a very sharp knife.

It was suggested that it wouldn't be beyond Souren to do this sort of thing herself - dressing it up as yet more 'evidence' of her numerous (and rather widely-travelled) stalkers.
I initially dismissed the idea, given that all of her 'evidence' seems to be either opportunistic or circumstantial (or just plain fabricated out of thin air), but then it occurred to me that if there's been a constant theme throughout this saga it's surely one of violence.

Threats to kill, exhortation to commit suicide, hateful and spiteful comments, fits of anger etc.
Indeed, when someone tried to serve her with that WVGGZ warrant it clearly stated that one of the reasons it could be granted was that the person may pose a threat of serious harm to others.

OK, so this is (not unreasonable) speculation on my part - and even if none of the above is true it still leaves the prospect that a psychotic lunatic is hanging around the streets of Amsterdam with a 'very, very sharp' knife about her person.

Not a comforting thought - and if I was a resident of Amsterdam who'd just read this article I think I'd be very minded to give the local police a call and suggest that they go check for themselves.

She's not hard to find - just pop along to the OBA Oosterdock central library on any day of the week, or a nearby McDonalds of a morning.

__________________________________

As entirely expected, Souren's decision to email me prompts a flurry of follow-up emails.

More often than not these turn up in the wee small hours when most of us are doing sensible things like getting a good night's sleep. The pattern is nearly always the same; a single email to kick things off followed by a number of replies to her own email. The subject varies - but not by much; it's either a barrage of whinges or a load of insults. Every once in a while there's a pathetic attempt to strike up a conversation. This batch fell into the whinges category:

Later that day I got a couple from the 'conversational' pile:

What's notable about this is her reference to having a beer.
She's currently begging for donations on a GoFundMe page, supposedly to lift her out of poverty and get her back on her feet. I wonder how many donors would be thrilled to hear that she's spending some of that money on booze. It's not the first time she's indulged either - and shortly thereafter a number of extraordinarily ranty videos appeared on her YouTube channel in which she insulted the Dutch. At great length. Seems they're all rude and stupid.
Remarkably, this seems to be the case wherever she goes...

I decided to reply, in the hope of bringing this flurry of emails to an end:

"Oh do fuck off. None of us are interested. Your stupid game is over."

I suppose I ought to have know better because it failed to achieve its purpose and I got this response:

This was closely followed by:

And a little later:

The first of these pair of emails really explains what her problem is. It's all someone else's fault, all someone else's problems that they're foisting upon her.
None of what's happened to her is her fault, and it probably never will be - and there's not a lot that anyone can do about that.
You can explain, you can plead, you can get angry. You can even document the entire timeline of events - it won't make a difference at all.

I found the comment about trying to provoke me interesting. "What's been going on" is laid out clearly on this site - and right from the start she has steadfastly refused to accept it - so it's clearly the case that she's just desperate for some form of communication. Not just from me but from anyone - and she'll use whatever methods she can to goad some sort of response. That she continues to resort to libel shows just how sick, sad and pathetic she really is.

And the second of the pair really brings this home.
I have to say that when I read the email I actually laughed out loud. I really did. I mean, the gall of it.
All of her 'friends' that are part of the Batty Brigade have been subjected to the same bile and lies that I have, and I'm very sure that everyone else she's communicated with has too. How the hell do you even begin to hope to keep any friends with that sort of behaviour? But that's the rub - that we refuse to put up with it and react accordingly is our fault. Not hers.

And as for her being "actually a really nice woman" - it beggars belief. It's beyond insane. How on earth does someone send out such poisonous drivel and then claim to be 'really nice'? I just cannot fathom it.
I was soooo very tempted to reply. Who wouldn't be? But what's the point? It seems that the only thing that will ever get through to her is reaching a point where the donations dry up and life on the street takes its toll. And that will be everyone else's fault too.

__________________________________

Another email turns up, and it appears to be some sort of 'Round-Robin' - you can see that I've redacted the details of the original recipient.
It's obviously deeply unpleasant and thoroughly vile - and is undoubtedly inspired by Souren's worsening situation and her increasing alienation.

The latter is hardly surprising given that any number of people she's had dealings with over the years have received similarly poisonous communications.
In fact not just similar but likely identical - and I wonder how many other got treated to this ugly abuse.

I can't say I was all that surprised that such an email turned up because Souren's on what The Batty Brigade call 'a bit of a bender' and has once again taken to throwing out accusations in all direction on her YouTube channel.

You gotta wonder though - just how many people does she think are after her?
I suppose the short answer to that is 'probably everyone'.
Anyway, I dropped the recipient of that email a brief note with a link to this article - and I think it's safe to assume that they're now suitably informed as to what's going on.

And so another door closes.
It also appears that she's going through her 'back-catalogue' of contacts in the hunt for a criminal mastermind - so if you're one of these people you can probably expect an email at some point.

__________________________________

I mentioned back on the Disquiet page that Souren seemed to have a thing about spoofed emails - and I noted that it seems she sees only what she wants to see. I found confirmation of this on her website blog:

There are a few things that stand out for me. The first is the old paranoia that the emails are being intercepted and/or redirected. As you can see, I'm defintely getting the emails. As is everyone else on her target list - which is the second stand-out point. As we've seen, and the update above shows, I'm certainly not the only person she emails with regard to her situation.

And then there's the "Sounds bonkers. I have no idea what to make of it."
This goes back to her absolute refusal to accept anything that's outside of her psychotic narrative. This, to me, is a lose-lose admission; she's either lying or completely nuts. Very probably both.

__________________________________

Another day, another bunch of ranty emails from the batty one . Usual stuff - it's all my fault. This one, though, is worthy of inclusion here:

It appears her "Phrase du jour" is 'pressing buttons'. Gets four mentions!
I know why I was treated to this feast of abuse - it seems that her 'business plan' of scrounging for donations to keep her fed and 'watered' while she continues to portray herself as the victim of organised crime isn't going so well.
There could be many reasons for this - but probably the mostly likely one is her habit of publicly accusing some of her GoFundMe donors of being hackers or of having various neurological disorders. Prospective donors are likely to be put off by such behaviour - and some who have donated may well feel rather aggrieved in retrospect and thus moved to complain. I can't say that I blame them.
Another reason could be that this article continues to be circulated among her ex-colleagues - many of whom have fallen foul of her accusation. Doors are closing fast.

It all points up the absurdity of believing that there's a huge network of people devoted to making her life hell - because it's plain to see that she's entirely capable of screwing it up herself without any assistance at all. As for pressing buttons, just the one that uploads these updates to this article will do just fine.

__________________________________

Another lengthy rant on Souren's website has been drawn to my attention.

It's the usual drivel - a few things going wrong in her life which get escalated into 'proof' that she's being stalked.
On this occasion it looks like she's had a run-in with her phone company as a result of not paying her bills on time; she's either unwilling or unable to sort it out and they, quite understandably, appear to have given up paying attention to anything but a settlement of the debts. This is, of course, all my doing - or at least that of my contact who works at the phone company.

Or one of them at least. I appear to have agents everywhere, all held together by an organisation that surely rivals the reach of SPECTRE. Which rather begs the question that if I have that much power wouldn't it be but a small matter to cut off her access to the internet entirely? Now that's a prospect I entirely relish - and can you blame me??
In any event it looks like the phone company are about to do just that....but for the rather more mundane reason of bills outstanding. Fingers crosssed here!

'Nazi zombie monster' get another showing - as does another one of her infamous character analyses...duly 'qualified' by "I suspect - believe..."
Rather makes a mockery of the "I'm a scientist' at the start of the excerpt - and it doesn't detract from the fact that unsubstantiated statements like this are pure libel.

In view of the revelations I now find rants like this both tiresome and dreadfully fascinating in equal measure because it paints a picture of self-destruction in slow motion.
I'm certain that if you asked a hacker to make her life a misery they'd say "No need...she's doing it herself!"

I suppose you could call it 'self-hacking'. And it's never going to stop because the driving force behind it is that bizarre need to blame absolutely everyone else for her misfortunes.

One of her recent taglines was "I live and learn" - and yet time and time again she demonstrates the complete opposite. I'd been getting grief for her phone breaking down - and then she reveals the following:

She clearly spends a lot of time on the phone, posting comments and making bizarre and often unintelligible videos, so it's hardly a surprise that such heavy use will take its toll. And then she says it might not be as tough as she imagined nor as waterproof. Oh, and she dropped it.
Any normal person would think "Shucks, this phone's had it - but it's had a hard life" - but not her. The self-hacker kicks in and nothing's her fault again.

__________________________________

As expected she's on a 'Batty Bender'. I can almost set my watch by them, they're that predictable. Her 'Campaign du jour' is to warn everyone about me. Hey ho. The interesting thing about these campaigns is that every time she goes off on one, this site picks up lots of views by virtue of people searching for details about her on Google. I'm not at all unhappy about that, as you might imagine.

So we get the usual dross, though it appears that my brother has picked up a few more identities - and it looks like she's about to embark on a mission that only Don Quixote would be proud of. I guess she's in the right place for tilting at windmills...
Anyway, there's a meandering video that accompanies the text in which she states that there is nothing I can do to her anymore. That's not entirely true - I can certainly continue to expose her for the sick fraud that she is, and I can serve as a bulwark for all the others who have had to put up with her deranged rants. And I still have a few options waiting in the wings, none of which will cheer her up.

On the face of it that might not seem so important, but some of the folks who have got in touch with me have been very upset by the accusations she's slung at them. For some of them it's a relatively new experience, but it's old hat for me and I'm more than prepared to stand up to her nonsense on their behalf because we all know that if you stick your head above the parapet she'll happily take pot shots at you without a single thought about how it might affect the person on the other end of her insanity.
And with each passing day the number of targets she has diminishes. She has no idea how many of the ranty emails she sends out get forwarded to me, so I suppose I'm about the only target she has left. That's fine, I can deal with it - publicly.

As an aside, and something of a little chuckle - I was checking my YouTube stats yesterday and received a notification. Her channel had come up as a 'Recommendation'. Well thanks YouTube, but no thanks! And then it occurred to me that the algorithm seems to be linking my channel with hers. And that made me smile.

__________________________________

Souren's 'campaign' continues apace. It's quite hard to make out exactly what she hopes to achieve, but then I very much suspect that she doesn't know either. From what I've seen it looks like the same old unsubstantiated rubbish that she's been trotting out for decades albeit presented in a slightly different manner...most of which involves videos about me made in semi-darkness under the cover of a rain-soaked tarpaulin. These videos come and go as quickly as the rain - which, incidentally, I'm surprised I don't get the blame for. Clearly I'll have to ask my agents at the Met Office to step their game up a bit.

I initially thought her intention was to 'name and shame' me so much that folks start paying attention. If that's the intention then I'm very much up for it because it just means all the more people get to see the sheer weight of evidence presented on this site. Suits me just fine.
But apparently that's not the idea. No, it's much weirder than that.

This takes self-hacking to a whole new level. She appears to be deliberately doubling down on the hardship she's enduring in an effort to put an end to something she's entirely responsible for. That's like repeatedly stabbing yourself in the leg in the hope that doing so will make the pain go away. It's just beyond comprehension - and she's horrifyingly wrong if she thinks that this is going to solve all her woes.
But I guess this goes back to the Wvggz warrant that social services tried to serve on her - which specifically refers to "behaviour that can lead to serious harm for themselves..." If it wasn't clear back then that they had such concerns, it certainly must be now.

She's also completely wrong about my supposedly wanting to see her humiliated and powerless. I actually don't want to see or have anything to do with her at all - which I made very clear back in 2008.
You'd think that point had been well and truly hammered home over the last 17 years, but no - she'll just keep right on stabbing herself in the leg.

__________________________________

You'd think that after all these years I'd no longer be surprised at the level of Souren's insanity - but what follows is just simply off the scale.
It appears that someone messed with the vegetation surrounding the spot where she dosses down, and in so doing has disturbed a bird's nest.
There could many humdrum explanations for this, but as usual it's yours truly who gets the blame.

After some 'consideration' Souren has decided that the most likely explanation is that the culprit was a woman who walked past with a dog the other day. The basis for this conclusion? It's effectively that Souren didn't like the look of her. She's already decided that she has some sort of neurological condition (just like everyone else she encounters) and has set herself up as judge, jury and executioner.
It seems she intends to confront the poor woman and carry out the following sentence:

Pretty bizarre, yes? It gets worse though.
It also seems that a young chap on a bicycle passed by and made some odd noises. In a truly amazing feat of paranoia this got translated into a secret message from one of her (many) hackers.

I'm well-used to her bouts of insanity these days, but even I dropped my jaw when I saw this series of videos. It's all just...monstrously bat-shit crazy; paranoia and delusions running riot. It's like watching someone's brain rot away before your very eyes.
I'm not generally given to predicting the future but I have a feeling that her paranoia is going to drive her to pick on the wrong person one day - resulting in either an arrest and/or a punch in the face. I honestly believe it's just a matter of time.

__________________________________

A large number of ranty videos have appeared in rapid succession on her YouTube channel recently - and many have disappeared almost as quickly - but one in particular perfectly highlights the bullshit I've had to endure down the years.
It's her view of what occurred during the first and subsequent meetings - when she came to my workshop with a broken saxophone. I've laid out the events on the first page of this article, but given the complete nonsense spouted in the video (I'll drop a link to the video here but I doubt it'll remain online for very long...) I thought I'd take a little time to expand on it.

What follows is taken from the transcript of the video. I've cut out the non-relevant parts (it goes on a bit):

"When I first met this guy, two things happened - or three.
The first thing is that I instantly shot into some kind of trance the moment I saw or heard this guy. I've never experienced anything like it before or after. I think this was a sort of self-protective mechanism. I sensed that this guy was... represented danger and I did what I could to protect myself against that. That's what I think happened.

The second thing is that I had the impression somehow that I was dealing with a little boy, not an adult, but a little boy, a little hurt boy. I don't know where that came from. And the third thing was that this guy was clearly up to something.

He often couldn't basically keep [contain] his laughter. And I don't know what was going on there. It was really weird. But I was also dealing with cultural differences and I constantly ran into all sorts of weird stuff in England.
Anyway, ehm yeah, this was a really strange experience. Ehm, he drove me back to the train station and he was very clearly on some kind of fishing expedition. He was asking me things and then would switch the topic all of a sudden. The conversation made no sense. He was clearly on a fishing expedition. And one of the things he wanted to know is whether I was prone ehm likely to try to commit suicide. I don't know. I think so. Or looking for danger or something like that or avoiding danger. I talked about flying or balloons or whatever.
And he mentioned danger then and then suddenly switched the topic. So this switching of topic told me that he was on a some kind of fishing expedition. It was really strange. And he also said a few things that really ran... rang un... un... untrue. I didn't know what to make of that either. It sounded like he was lying. I don't know how I knew that. I had this... I'm not an empath but I do pick up things from people and I picked up very strong things from this guy that there was something going on there and that's continued during the second visit as well.

During the third visit, I only exchanged ehm... actually that... I deliberately did not go to his workshop. Met with him somewhere else for a repair and ehm only exchanged 10 words or so with him and that was that. Ehm I didn't know what to think of that. By the end of the year, I was convinced I was dealing with a sadist, but I was moving away and I thought that would be the end of that. I was wrong."

From the sounds of it I'm clearly some kind of weird monster (with remarkable hypnotic powers) - and if you reached the same conclusion after a single visit to a tradesperson, what do you think your reaction would be? I know what mine would be...I'd keep my distance, carry out any business I had with that person as quickly and as quietly as possible and then never use their services again. What I definitely wouldn't do would be to write an email like the following:

"Hi Steve, I must say I really did enjoy meeting you today.
I heard you say quite a few things that rang a bell (also re work in general) and you'd already gotten my attention through your web site, like I mentioned. What you said about cars reminded me of a story that resembles the purchase of this alto. I think you'll get a chuckle out of it. When I went out to buy my first car, I'd quickly found one and didn't dare buy it because I told myself I didn't know enough about it... That was a Toyota Starlet, a long time ago."

The lengthy email continues with an anecdote about cars and saxophones and eventually ends with...

"Btw, I looked at the Chinese saxes and I think what I will do for the time being is practice with the mouthpiece. When I get bored with that, I'll see. I may get a xaphoon, yes (thanks for pointing that out!). I do want to stick with a saxophone (so I don't want to get a clarinet which requires a different embouchure and would not help me at this point, I think). I have fooled around a little bit with other instruments in the past, but something's "clicking" for me with a saxophone - and perhaps specifically an alto - that surprised me and that I quite like. Sorry for the long mail. I promise to shut up now. ;-) Angie "

There is one thing in the video that rings true - my laughter. I like a laugh - and I like to have a laugh with my clients. I find it helps to put them at ease and helps to develop a more personal relationship - something that's quite important in my line of work. That clients keep coming back to me over the decades suggest that this approach works very well, and I'm certainly not to going to change it for anyone.

As to the conversation in the car I'm not sure why on earth I would have asked about suicide. Seems rather unlikely to me, but chopping and changing topics sounds like something I do when trying to avoid awkward silences. In such instances I've even been known to ask someone what their favourite potato is. Yep. Mine's a Maris Piper, incidentally - though I'll take a King Edward as a second best. OK, so I talk rubbish occasionally...as do we all.

My behaviour must have terrified her so much that she decided the only way to 'protect herself" was to send me a couple of hundred emails over the next few months. In fairness most of these were quite chatty and quite a few of them were just one or two liners. My reply rate was about one email to every ten or so of hers, which is pretty standard for me given that I have work to be getting on with. I'd be quite happy to post them all here, but here's one that was sent two weeks after her initial visit - and which further indicates just how 'terrified' she was at the time...

"Listen, I was thinking... I do go to your web site a LOT at the moment and I know how strange that can come across; has happened to me too. (I have an English guy - I know who he is - following me around on the web etc. and I can't always figure out what he's doing, so when I post here and there, I often do it under fake names these days. At times, the fact that he followed me around and came to my site so often really gave me the creeps but I have gotten used to it and I think he is actually simply trying to find new things to do with his life, after his divorce and doing work he is fed up with. He lives in Belgium although he claims to have a brother in Hedge End. Similar things have happened to me before and I guess it's basically a compliment or says something about a person's role in life. But I now know it can come across as creepy...)
The thing is, you have a lot of inspiring stuff on your site. I went back to your site the other day, I think to find the note that is actually called "inspiration" because it deals with things that I am trying to get back into my life. I dedicated a large chunk of my life toward eventually getting my own cutting-edge research group. It all fell apart (moving to the UK was one final attempt in that direction, after a big delay). So, I once had all my eggs in one basket and then the basket fell... When that happens to a person, you're lost. Your wheels are spinning and you're going nowhere.
A lot of people have no clue what I mean when I talk about this, but I think you do. I am very bad at just "doing stuff"; I need to be inspired, driven and I am desperately trying to get more of that back into my life. The alto may be a (very different) way of doing that; I don't know yet. Maybe all I need is to develop a fresh look on the things that I already am doing, though. So, I suddenly remembered that story, last weekend, and then I found all the new stories and many of them make me laugh and chuckle and that is something I really enjoy too, so now I keep going back to see what else has come up and going back to some of the old stories too. I have also forwarded some links - as I am certainly not the only one who really likes many of these stories. Bottom line, sorta: You're a nice guy and you're driven and inspiring and it shows on your web site. Not sure if trying to explain makes it better or worse. Oh well. Keep a loaded gun behind the door, just in case. Or a baseball bat. Have a good weekend, Angie"

I have no idea how or why she jumped from "You're a nice guy" to keeping a gun behind the door - but as it transpired that was probably quite good advice.

And then we come to the issue of the third visit.
The cheap sax she purchased as a stopgap while her other sax was being repaired had developed a problem (it turned out be just a bent key). I figured that it would be something simple and really wouldn't be worth the hassle of coming to the workshop again - so I made the following suggestion some time after she emailed me about it:

"Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I've been slowly wading through piles of emails that have come in as the schools started the new year (it's my busiest time of year). I can certainly examine the alto - and I would think that if there's a problem with it it can be diagnosed and fixed in mere minutes. Probably the best bet is that I meet you at the station and have a look over the sax there...I suspect that there might be a key or two out of alignment. I'm out and about a fair bit next week - but I should have some time in the latter half of the week."

I got this response:

"Thanks. I really appreciate your help. Yeah, meeting at the station makes sense. (Had in fact occurred to me too.) I'll keep the 18th and the 19th available. In terms of my ongoing work, that is doable so there should not be any changes in that as far as I am concerned. I'll drop you a note again on Wednesday, if that is okay with you. If not, let me know, either by e-mail or voicemail and/or let me know what times suit you best on Thurs/Fri. Good luck with the piles of e-mail. Ange"

I subsequently wasn't able to make those dates due to piles of work and suggested that as I had a gig in Portsmouth coming up, I could have a look at the sax there if she was able to bring it along. This is exactly what I did.

Following that very brief meeting I received the following email (I've cut out the non-relevant bulk):

"Hi, You're the greatest (see? I was right ;-)). Let me know what I owe you! Yeah, I had a feeling I might have been damn lucky, re the fall, as I was still able to get everything out, though it played differently somehow. I think I improved things a little bit near the top when I was just checking if anything was off there (and re that low D, I still have doubts... turned out I have trouble buzzing that one new mouthpiece too but before I could experiment more, the thing fell). I will never put it on a chair that way again.

...

Anyway... I hope The Cellars turned busier after I left and it looked that way. The guy next to me said there was something (up the road? up north) that sold for 25 bucks (something something soul?) and he thought that that might be the reason why it was relatively quiet. Hey, take care! Night night."

Again, is that really the response of someone who's trying to keep their distance and who has misgivings about the person they're dealing with?
About a week later she sent me an email accusing me of playing pranks - and the rest is, well, all laid out here.

So why this update?
Two reasons. My approach to the whole matter has always been based on evidence. Not hearsay, not anecdotes or opinions but solid, documented evidence. I've presented the emails here as quotes to save space, but I still have the originals on file. What was presented in that video was bollocks from start to finish - a blatant and cycnical attempt at rewriting history to serve her own purposes.
It's also to counter the 'Fundamental Lie'. This was not someone who was terrified of me or who felt the need to keep her distance. And the last 17 years of harassment have been based upon that lie - and many, many others. The video is a classic case of "Give someone enough rope..." - sooner or later she always exposes her true self, and little if anything she says about this whole facade stands up to even cursory scrutiny.
I'm setting that record straight and calling out the lie.
And I'm betting myself a pint that video disappears pretty quickly.

__________________________________

As per the old routine, Souren goes off on a rantfest whenever she gets called out as a liar. I got the usual poisonous email ("sadistic controlling psychopath" etc.) and another bunch of swivel-eyed videos appeared on her channel. All the same old guff, but this one caught my eye:

No, not the video itself but the description panel.
She'd spent the last few days banging on about how - when her pension comes in - she's going to devote her life to tracking down hackers. I presume this is going to be her hobby because she sure as hell isn't going to make any money out of it - mostly because she's about as clued-up about such things as bowl of dog food.

The very first line says as much ("who knows") - and then she goes on to suggest that it might all be down to the staff at the email provider. Or indeed it could be any one of Souren's other targets who've made contact with me. I mean, we've all been accused of such things.

But the really interesting thing is the mention of emails, supposedly from me, in which I announce that I would 'stalk her relentlessly'.
Well, that's news to me I must say - and they would have made a very damning piece of counter-evidence when the police came knocking to charge her with harassment.
Indeed, I think I'd have been in very serious trouble.
Oh, but wait...let me guess - she showed the police the emails but didn't realise that they were part of my international crime organisation, so they ignored them. Yes, that must be it surely?

Or is it the case that no such emails exist?
That's a matter that's easy to resolve - show them.
Go on Souren - show the world those emails. Headers and all. Let's see them. Let's see the words on which you've based your lies and accusations.
This is your big chance - your opportunity to present us all with damning evidence. Traceable, trackable evidence. The real McCoy.
To be honest I'm more than very surprised that they haven't appeared before - they'd represent as big of a smoking gun as it's possible to get.
I wonder, then, why we've never seen them...

I think I know why. I won't wait up.

___

As completely expected, the video's disappeared. No matter, I have a copy of it - it'll come in very handy come the day of reckoning. And come it will...
And of course it's disappeared - there were no such emails. Why would there be? This whole 'stalking/hacking'' thing is just Souren's disturbing fantasy; her whole world-view would dissolve into putrid goo if she actually faced up to the horrific truth that what the last few decades of her life has been about is that no-one at all wants anything to do with her once she reveals her true self.
When you call her out on her bullshit she goes to pieces faster than a tissue in a washing machine.

My name and, let's not forget, others, gets dragged through the mud on the basis of whatever perverted concoctions she dreams up in her fevered attempts to engender sympathy and outrage - and she doesn't even have the courage or the dignity to stand by the crap she spouts. It's just so utterly pointless, tiresome and pathetic. In a single rant-filled video she's exposed herself as a liar, a fraud, a coward and - not to put too fine a point on it - a whacko nut-job.
And she'll do it all again another day. What a hero. What a waste of oxygen.

A three-minute rant appeared on the batty one's YouTube channel the other day in which she swore and shouted at some length about wanting her life back and how her phones had apparently been hacked (again). Accompanying the video was an equally lengthy and ranty comment in which a number of people got named - and in which she states that she should have killed me when she first encountered me:

"If I had known during that first appointment just how malicious this guy is, I'd have killed him. In view of how immensely thoroughly he's destroyed my life, going to prison for murder would have been fine, goddammit."

But I wasn't in the least bit surprised about this rant appearing when it did, because when I turned my computer on that morning I found a number of websites were offline. I did what most people would do and checked the news and found that Amazon were having a problem with some of their servers. Sites and apps all around the world were experiencing outages.
Nor was I surprised when, a little later, she posted a link to a news article about the outage - making the comment "Is this it?"
Yep, the 'highly intelligent scientist' goes off on a complete bender before checking the facts - blames everyone on her current list of hackers/stalkers/whatever and reiterates her desire to kill someone.
As the saying over here goes - "Thick as shit and twice as nasty".

Anyways, something that caught my eye in amongst the ranting was this statement:

"I haven't been able to connect with ANYONE after my fifth escape attempt. They all wrote, IF they wrote at all, that they were attending to a sick partner or that they wanted nothing further to do with me."

As my friends across the pond would say - "Colour me surprised".
I've previously posted some of the abusive emails she's sent to various people who've helped her out in the past, plus the hateful accusations made against some of the contributors to her GoFundMe campaign - and it seems to me that she's exhibiting some sort of ghastly, perverted entitlement.
Can she really be so utterly dense as not to realise that her behaviour makes people want to run a mile rather than have anything to do with her?
At what point d'you suppose the penny will drop and she'll make the correlation between folks turning their back on her and her obnoxious behaviour?
It's been decades now and she still hasn't figured it out.
Now that's real stupidity.

_________________________________

There's a saying - apparently not credited to anyone - which goes "When the rules don't suit you, rewrite the rules".
It seems that Souren has taken this to heart and is using it to justify her 'hit and run' approach to pushing out her version of 'the truth'.

Here's part of a transcript of a recent video in which she goes on at length, as usual, about how her current situation is all someone else's fault. Again, yeah, as usual.
I've mentioned before that she has a habit of posting complete and utter rubbish and then deleting it - and it looks like it's struck a nerve...because here we have the reason for it. She 'doesn't want to focus on it'.
For someone who doesn't want to focus on it she seems to spend a very great deal of time banging on about it and I'd venture to suggest that real reason she deletes this stuff is that she doesn't want to get called out on it.

And if that's the case then she's in for another rough ride because there's a very interesting sentence at the end of this section of the transcript; "I had so much printed proof of what was going on."
The obvious question that follows is "Well, where is it?"
I mean, any of it. At all. Ever.

Thing is, I really don't like having to focus on all this crap but I don't have a great deal of choice at the moment. That's likely to change quite soon, but in the meantime it's really just a matter of collecting the evidence, writing an occasional update here and then getting on with the rest of my life.
And therein lies the difference - the evidence. Anyone, at any time, can say "Show me the original files" and be assured that I have them. And very handy they've proven to be of late...
Souren's approach is simply to make stuff up to suit her agenda and then double-down on her insistence that it's all true. Indeed, she does exactly that later in the same video:

Honestly, it's like dealing with a child.
You find them stood beside a table on which lies a suspiciously-empty box of chocolates, and the vision in front of you is of a child with chocolate on their hands, face and clothing. When you ask them if they've eaten the chocolates they deny it emphatically - even in the face of the overwhelming evidence.
They at least have the advantage that even when they're caught red-handed it's pretty hard not to smile. Souren, on the other hand, has less charm than three-day old vomit.
And I'm definitely not making that up.

Ah, Christmas - a time of peace, joy and all that sort of thing.
But here at Batty Brigade HQ it was a rather different story. It wasn't unexpected; I can't remember a year in which I didn't get at least one email from the nut - but she really pushed the boat out this time. It all kicked off on the 22nd of December when I received this email:

This was clearly in response to the new Resolution section that went live around that date, and when I read it my instant reaction was "YOU'RE angry????!!!"
The sheer gall of it! She wants me to be sorry for what, exactly? For being on the receiving end of her psychotic rants and abuse down the years? Fat bloody chance of that, matey boy.

Oooh, I was angry - and I know I shouldn't have done it but I figured that I was in for a torrent of abuse anyway so I might as well get the first punch in and take some of the sting out of it - so I sent a 'Fuck Off' email in response. Well, you would, wouldn't you?
And as completely expected another seven emails followed in the same day and another on Christmas day itself...full of the usual nonsense.

She really got into her stride on the 26th though, which started off with this cheery missive:

Yep, yet another death threat - shortly followed by an email which told me to 'take that to the police' - which I did, along with another death threat that arrived a little later.
This brings the total of emailed death threats in recent years up to eleven - and that doesn't include those made on social media etc. I suppose she feels that what with the pending police action against her she can't make it any worse, but has obviously failed to comprehend two important factors. She has been warned of the forthcoming action, so has made further threats after the effect - and while a custodial sentence is inevitable it's not a 'fixed fee' like a parking ticket...the length of that sentence will take into account the number and frequency of such threats. I would have thought that was obvious to anyone, but there you go.

Anyway, here's the second death threat and I'm sure you'll have already noticed the reference to 'God the father'. This was followed by a further five even more bizarre emails along the same religious theme - including one in which I got the blame for bombing Kyiv. Just what can you possibly make of something like this?
Clearly she's managed to get hold of a bottle or two of cheap plonk - because the prospect of her being sober AND that bonkers is hard even for me to believe. I mean, no-one's that bloody crazy...are they?

 

In the meantime she was also giving it large on YouTube, which all began with another God-themed rant:
She seems to have a thing about it, along with 'mum', 'mother' and 'wife' - which regularly pop up in her 'communications'. I find it all rather strange but I'm pretty sure there's a psychologist out there who has a pretty good idea as to where it all comes from and what it all means.

I may yet find out one day because when she gets arrested she's certain to be evaluated in terms of her mental health and I'm sure that information will be made available to my legal team.
But here's the thing - you'd have thought that my update going live was the cause of all this, but the ranting on social media actually kicked off a good few days before the Resolution section went live.

This was undoubtedly due to two confrontations in which she demonstrated her tendency towards violence (again). In one she spoke of wanting to throw a hot drink into someone's face and in another she told a woman that had she had a knife on her that woman would now be dead.
The rants continued. Several people got named, the usual allegations were made (hacking, stalking, animal torture, neglect, various psychological issues etc...blah blah) - and it's that last point which provided a perhaps rather ghastly chuckle.

For some reason or other she'd taken to castigating the local people around her (if not indeed all the Dutch), blaming their reaction to her to their own inadequacies and psychological issues.
Now that's nothing new - she wheels out cod-analyses and acronyms (NPD, DID etc.) like there's no tomorrow - but the real howler was her outrage that folks dared to consider her a dangerous nutter. No, really, that was her beef. How very dare they! How dare they assume, what with her having an IQ of 133 and all that bollocks.

She seemed genuinely puzzled at how folks could possibly have reached such conclusions without pausing for a microsecond to consider that schlepping around the streets of Amsterdam while ranting into a phone and then putting those rants onto a publicly accessible platform is probably a bit of a giveaway.

And then there's her general demeanour. Word gets around. She's hanging around the Oost area of Amsterdam, shuffling around and generally being quite visible. People are bound to comment amongst themselves, it's only natural - but what about those people she's threatened or acted with hostility towards? I'm sure the woman she threatened to stab had told her friends and family about the incident. Do that kind of thing often enough (and she has) and you'll soon pick up a reputation - which in her case is that of a dangerous nutter.

Another reason is the impact of this site.
There are now more views from people in the Netherlands than any other country.
The stats show some hits coming in from social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter (X) and suchlike with Dutch IP addresses.
It really doesn't take much commonsense to suppose that folks who've had a run in with the batty one might pop a post up on their Facebook page about an encounter with a mad woman in a stupid hat - to which someone might respond with "That's the bloody lunatic that there's a whole website about!"
Is it really any wonder, at all, that more and more people are giving her a wide berth. She ought to be used to it by now because it seems to happen wherever she goes.

And she never wonders why because the whole thing is a massive exercise in projection. The God thing, the mum/wife thing, the NPD/DID etc. thing, the hatred, the violence and so much more - it's all coming from her.
Oh for sure, that folks react to it accordingly is no surprise at all - but she has yet to see the elephant in the room.

And that's it for 2025 for me.
It's been quite a year. Something of a struggle on occasion, I'll admit. I had rather hoped to see some on-the-ground action before the end of the year but an ex-cop mate of mine tells me that Christmas is always a hellishly busy time for the police and that things like this will always take a back seat for the duration.

But it at least gives me a damned good reason to go out and celebrate the new year tonight - because 2026 promises to bring the justice and closure I've sought for such a very long time. Cheers!

More news on the criminal investigation front!

Following on from the abusive emails and death threats the nut sent to me over Christmas, the police have upped the ante and assigned the case to a DC.
I'm told that the report to the CPS is in progress and the nod has already been given for shunting the case over to the Dutch police because it's clearly a very serious matter.

I've also been told to expect some communication from the Dutch police in due course and have assured the officer of my full and very detailed co-operation.
Some other information was imparted to me (which I will not release here) which reassures me that someone's definitely 'on the case'.

Again, I've been told that these things take time - but not as much time as I expected! Depending on how fast the Dutch police move it could all be done and dusted before the Spring.
I cannot tell you how excited I am at the prospect that this evil nutter will be struck out of my life once and for all!

More news on the police action!
I had an email from the officer who's handling the case at the UK end. They've been in touch with their Dutch counterparts who have requested some specific evidence, which I've duly supplied - the details of which I'm not going to reveal.

This is exceptionally encouraging news because it looks like it's all coming together at last. Keeping all my fingers crossed here!

All is not well at Camp Batty. Her 'Des Res Beneath The Tarps' has been pillaged. Several times. Who on earth would do such a dastardly thing??
As it turns out, quite a few people. Now I could list quite a few of them and give the potential reasons while they might be suspects - but it wouldn't make much sense without lots of tedious context - and in actual fact the benchmark for being a suspect is incredibly low. In fact it's anyone Souren doesn't like. And that's an awful lot of people.
There is, however, something of a commonality among them - many of them appear to be folks that have, at some point, shown some kindness towards her. Y'know - a coffee here, a bar of chocolate there, some food, some cash every so often...even the use of a vacant apartment for a week or two. And I always think the same thing; "You'll learn". And learn they do. It's never a matter of if Souren will turn on them, only when.

In the latest debacle it seems that someone's done a runner with an assortment of her possessions - including, most recently, her suitcase which contains all her clothes. I suppose it could just be the work of passing thieves hoping for rich pickings - but it might also be the work of disgruntled residents who are sick to the back teeth of her lies and insinuations. And I can't say that I blame them at all.

Here's an example - and this is classic batty playbook stuff. When things went missing she was quick to point the finger at a particular suspect (even I got the blame at some point!) Oh, there were rants and videos - the person's name got thoroughly dragged through the mud in public. But when the suitcase went awol she redoubled her efforts - eventually switching her focus to suspect No.2. More public rants ensued - and in this instance she managed to track down the person's employer and emailed them to inform them that their employee was a thief! The evidence for this? When she called round to see the person on another matter they were quite offhand with her. A clear indication of guilt - and certainly nothing to do with the fact that no-one wants an evil lunatic knocking on their door.

And now it appears that she was mistaken - yet the public mudslinging remains, and who knows what the consequences of that email to the employer may have been.
You can perhaps see why folks soon learn to despise her - she feels she has a right not to care about the consequences of her actions because it's always someone else's fault. And she believes that she's untouchable. Or at least she did until someone did a runner with all her worldly goods.

It's all rather academic though because she had a visit from some council employees whose job it was to remove her illegal encampment. Naturally she kicked up a fuss and sent them off with several fleas in their ears. But that's not a problem - it's standard policy in such cases not to act when someone kicks up a fuss, just in case they get all stabby like. No, they'll nip back to base and reschedule the visit...this time with a couple of coppers in tow. She should be used to this sort of thing - it's precisely how she got arrested in Portsmouth back in 2010 when the bailiffs arrived to turf her out of her flat for non-payment of, well, just about everything really.

I've seen it all before, time and time again - it's the same old story. But what makes this entertaining (at least for me) is that it's a very local affair. She's basically 'shitting on her own doorstep' and she's pissed off enough people that someone's decided that enough is enough. And anything that makes the poisonous grifter's life a little harder is absolutely fine by me.

__________________________________

The situation on the ground in Amsterdam Oost has been very entertaining of late. Well, for me at least.
The batty one's predilection for turning on people who make the mistake of helping her out has resulted in a number of people becoming thoroughly fed up with her poisonous ranting - and a number of complaints have been made to the local police. The upshot of this is that she has been thrown out of her cosy camp behind an allotment on Celebesstraat and has had to return to her previous dossing-down spot.
This is something of a disappointment for the locals because they rather hoped that she'd just piss of somewhere else entirely.
And in another extraordinary incident one of those locals took it upon themselves to confront Souren face-to-face and make it very clear indeed at how unhappy they were about being the target of her deranged imagination.
And then it seems that yet more of her stuff disappeared. This, of course, was down to an organised gang led by one of the locals and masterminded by me - and not in any way due to local junkies on the lookout for easy picking that they can flog for cash.

But things really came to a head when she got banned from the local library! She'd been harassing someone who later turned out to work at the library and their employer had very wisely decided that they have a duty of care towards their staff rather than play host to an obnoxious stalker.

To top it all it seems that Souren returned to her camp from a day away to find a chap doing something rather naughty under her tarps. What it is to have bad neighbours, eh?

As you can imagine, this and the intervention by the police resulted in a proper rant-fest on YouTube, with me and many others being held responsible.
A whole series of self-pitying videos appeared in which yours truly was held to be mostly responsible for, well, everything - culminating in a truly epic display of ingratitude, vindictiveness and full-on frothing-at-the-mouth screaming. So no real change then.

But what has changed is that this website has been doing the rounds in the Oost area. It seems I have quite the following (Hi folks!).
It's the usual sequence of events. Souren harasses someone, they get curious as to just who this lunatic is, a search online is made and they end up here. And then they tell their friends.
As I said earlier, I know that a number of complaints have been made about Souren - and I would urge folks to continue to do so, particularly if they see themselves referred to in any of her online rants. One complaint barely makes a difference, a handful may have already resulted in a caution - but if the number of complaints keeps growing then someone will have to take proper action. She's on the authorities' radar now, it's just a matter of things reaching a tipping point.

And it gets closer with each passing day.
Just today she had another visit from the police. It seems she posted a video in which she exhorted people to take their guns to Femke Halsema (the mayor of Amsterdam) on the basis that she wanted to do away with people like Souren. I saw that video. I didn't save it because it had no bearing on my case - but I remember thinking that it was an incredibly stupid thing to say on a public platform. And evidently someone else agrees with me because they filed a complaint.

And now she's put up a video in which she vehemently denies ever having said such a thing (the screenshot translation is rather off). Now, she's either lying - which is pointless as someone else obviously saw it and made the complaint, and YouTube will have retained a copy of it - or she genuinely believes that she never posted that video, in which case she's insane.
I think it's pretty clear what the truth is.

And on that note I would like to repeat my invitation for anyone else who wishes to share their experiences with Souren to get in touch. You will be most welcome.

__________________________________

A rather astonishing series of videos appeared on the batty one's YouTube channel by way of a response to many of the locals in Amsterdam Oost having found their way to this site. The content itself is of little consequence - it's just the same old nonsense along with the same old excuses and lies she's been spouting off for decades - rather it's the spectacular failure to get across the whole point of the series in a failed PR stunt that would make even Gerald Ratner cringe.

As you can see it's rather chattily titled "Yo, locals...I am really really dangerous" - and I guess that last part is intended to be sarcasm.
Anyway, it was all going quite well for most of the first of the trio of videos in a kind of "It's not my fault, I'm not nasty!" way - and then she completely blew it with this chatty little comment:

"in 2011 I tried to kill I I threatened to kill his kids". And in case you missed it she repeated it again "And back then when I threatened to kill him and his kids and blah blah blah blah" - and yes, the blah blah blahs are her words. How very...casual.

However, she seems of have forgotten that she made that threat again more recently - even to the extent of detailing the order in which she would carry out the deed. In fact it was that threat that persuaded me to finally go to the police (see the Resolution section) - and never mind the numerous other death threats she's made against me personally.

And this is what I find most chilling about this person's mental state - there's a complete disconnect between the normal sense of what's right and what's wrong. That's what has always made her dangerous. It's right there, right in front of her, and yet she still cannot see it.
Time and again she's happy to display her delusions and paranoia - and then she ramps it up with her psychosis. And it's all fine with her. Blah blah blah, even.

What's even worse is that when she gets called out on such things, she brazenly lies about it. Given that she's been a prolific liar for a great many years you'd think that she'd be bloody good at it by now - but she isn't.
She leaves a trail of evidence a mile wide behind her and then denies it all - typically by claiming she was hacked or something.
And that's not just my opinion either - in a recent email to her from one of the city's admin team it's very clear that they regard her version of events as being 'somewhat fanciful'. I also see that they note that she's remarkably lax about coming up with any proof. T'was ever thus.

So I'm not in the least bit surprised that the locals in Oost are somewhat concerned about her - she's demonstrably unstable and given over to making violent threats - and plainly has little or no conscience at all. And this trio of videos will do nothing to ease their fears. Quite the opposite in fact. What happens if she 'thinks' she spots me, or my brother or one of my children. Or my mother? It certainly wouldn't be the first time that's happened - as per the nonsense about a supposed encounter at a beach that gets a mention in the videos. And what happens if it's you that she mistakes for me or someone connected to me?
You'll have to make up your own minds. Me, I'm pretty safe right now because the moment she sets foot in the UK she'll be arrested - but if enough of you express your concerns to the local police they might well pull their finger out and actually do something about this psychotic lunatic on your doorstep.

__________________________________

I wasn't intending to post another update so soon after the previous one but I've had a number of messages informing me that Souren is dead. I'm afraid not, folks.
She's pulled this stunt a few times over the years. It typically goes that something comes to a head (such as being arrested) and either she can't cope with it or is so embarrassed by it that she feigns her own death by way of a news blackout. Or perhaps it's her way of fishing for "R U OK Hun?" messages from her league of fans. Whatever the motive she'll generally go quiet for a little while and then delete the death announcement - and either act like it never happened or make some sort of pathetic excuse as to why she felt it was necessary. It'll likely be something as vague as "I had to disappear for a while because of something going on around me". In fact she lasted less than 24 hours before she miraculously rose from the grave and started deleting videos.
I noticed that her website and GoFundMe page also features the fake death message - but it occurs to me that she might want to change the title of her grifting campaign; it says "Help me get a van NOW!" - perhaps she'd be better off with a hearse...

So what prompted all this?
It seems that someone pinched her laptop. As per usual it was all down to nefarious locals - probably acting under my command. It cannot possibly be down to the arrant stupidity of leaving seemingly valuable items lying around. Oh, of course, it was 'hidden'. And where might that have been? Under the stairs? Locked up in a cupboard in the master bedroom? Carefully tucked under a sofa in the lounge?
She lives under a tarp by a railway line, someone would be able to search her entire 'property' in less than a minute. And that someone is likely to have been a person who's seen her flashing her tech around and knows that they can sell it for a few quid.
Anyone with half a functioning brain cell could see such a thing happening at some point - but not, apparently, if you have an IQ of 133.

Anyway, following the discovery of the theft a major rant-fest ensued with shouty videos popping up left, right and centre. All my fault, of course - but a few locals got a mention.
But something else happened which perfectly demonstrates the way in which the batty one will turn on anyone in a split second if it suits her narrative. It seems that just before she discovered the theft she'd been talking to another local woman while she was out and about. She subsequently put up a short video in which she was quite complimentary about this person - though still managed to demean her. But once she found that her laptop was gone this poor woman became a prime suspect.
The complimentary video was quickly deleted and another put up. Here's a quote from it; it's an auto-translation from Dutch so it reads a bit odd in places.

"You should ask yourself if you are going to be the regular or what the hell is going on here. You can say, you doesn't want to know anything about it. But if it happens to me, it can happen to your daughter the day after tomorrow or your mother too. You have to realize that, because I am an ordinary, normal, highly educated, capable woman. I am not the human being. I'm not ashamed. I don't lack self-confidence. I'm just getting deliberately destroyed. But by whom or what I don't know. I know exactly who you started with."

And that, folks, is Souren in a nutshell. An innocent passer-by whose only 'crime' was to engage the batty one in conversation has now somehow become connected to whatever Souren believes is happening to her - and the implication (mentioned in another video) is that this woman acted as a distraction while the theft was carried out.

I said in the previous update that Souren has no conscience - and this latest incident serves as a prime example.
Accusations flung around with carefree abandon and the sickening, depraved use of a fake announcement of death that makes a mockery of the very real tragedy of suicide. She becomes more vile by the day.
