It all began when I was alone in my room and suddenly heard a voice say something like, “Kill yourself, because they are going to torture you.” Because I have paranoid schizophrenia, I believed it had something to do with me. I thought the neighbors were somehow warning me about what was going to happen. Without thinking clearly, I grabbed a rope and tried to hang myself on the terrace. Fortunately, the attempt failed because when I threw myself forward, my feet touched the ground. Even so, the rope tightened enough to leave a red mark on the side of my neck.
By coincidence, I had an appointment that same day with Dr. Arroyo, my psychiatrist. I had not told anyone about the voices or the suicide attempt. But when the doctor saw the mark on my neck, she asked me what had happened. I had no choice but to tell her what I had heard and what I had done. She explained that the voices were part of my condition. I insisted that I was not hearing voices and that what I heard was real. She insisted otherwise. In the end, I was hospitalized at the Veterans Hospital because of the suicide attempt. I do not remember the exact date, but I estimate this happened about fifteen years ago. For more precise information about the dates mentioned in this document, please refer to my medical records at Veterans.
I have been hospitalized several times and have attempted suicide more than five times. There was a period in my life when I was completely confused and disconnected from reality. Little by little, I have recovered through group therapy and the help of psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, and others. Only now do I feel strong enough to face this situation and put a stop to these people, who have not only harassed us but have also threatened us with torture and death.
During one of my hospitalizations at Veterans, I had the sensation that I was thinking out loud. I asked doctors and people close to me whether I was talking to myself the way mentally ill people sometimes do, but no one gave me a clear answer. It was not until I heard someone say, “He is hypnotized,” that I realized they might be talking about me. I tried several times to verify this by thinking in front of a mirror and by recording myself on video and on the computer. To my surprise, I could not see or hear my thoughts, but I still felt certain that something had happened to my mind.
I may go off topic in some parts of this document, but that is because I do not want to leave anything out. I had a girlfriend who was also a mental health patient, like me. We met at the MEPSI Center. We became a couple and had sexual relations. At the time, I did not know that I was being followed and harassed when I was with her. In other words, they recorded my girlfriend and me having sex on many occasions. How do I know this? As I improved and became more aware of what was happening, I began to reflect on things I had heard while I was with her, and I came to the legitimate conclusion that they had been recording us during those intimate moments. I want to emphasize that these people knew very well that both my girlfriend and I were mental health patients, and even so, they recorded us during the most intimate moments a couple can share.
I never had the chance to tell my girlfriend what had happened. By the time I became aware of it, we had already broken up. I ended the relationship because I no longer loved her the way I once had, and our intimacy was no longer the same. I tried to remain friends with her, but her mother opposed it because apparently my ex-girlfriend suffered a nervous breakdown.
Attempted Murder: On one occasion, I woke up in the morning and heard and smelled propane gas. I got out of bed, checked inside the house and through the windows, and saw no one. The next night, the same thing happened again. I checked the house and saw nothing, so I went back to sleep. This was yet another crime committed by these people, who tried to kill us either by intoxication or by causing a fire.
Some of the things they say to us: “They’re going to..., you’re screwed, your mother, your brother, they’re going to kill you, son of a bitch, we’re going to..., a long time ago, everyone, you like ...” and many other phrases. Most of the time, they repeat phrases like these over and over. It happens so often that it is impossible to estimate how many times each day or night they insult us, threaten us, or play word games with us.
Everything: Everything that happens in our home has been heard by these people: private matters, family matters, matters involving minors, health issues, mental health issues, sexual relations, and personal secrets. It does not matter how sensitive or intimate the subject may be. Family gatherings, celebrations, and even times of mourning have all been invaded by these people.
They must be transmitting the voices from somewhere, and that place must be the home of one of the neighbors. That is only logical, because the voices are not coming from the sky. They have some kind of system that allows them not only to listen to what happens in our home, but also to what happens in the homes of other neighbors nearby. That must be the case, because it would make no sense for them to hear only us and not the people living next door. I want to stress that there have been minors in this home, as well as a person who is legally considered a minor by the courts of Puerto Rico due to mental disability. The neighbors are also being affected, along with their children, and because minors’ privacy rights are being violated, this also amounts to child abuse.
Crimes: I am not a prosecutor or a lawyer, but I can say that these people are fully aware of the crimes they have committed and of the suffering they have caused my family through this harassment, if that is even enough to describe it. Their wrongdoing includes burglary, insults, defamation, attempted murder, child abuse, HIPAA violations, abuse of mental health patients, invasion of privacy, stalking, death threats, bodily harm, and more. I do not know whether the FCC is involved as well, since they are listening electronically to everything that happens here without any legal right to do so. I have made them aware of all these offenses because I know they listen to us twenty-four hours a day. Even so, they show no remorse and do not reconsider what they have done, what they are still doing, or the crimes they have committed. They are not satisfied with the damage they have caused so far. The only thing that seems likely to satisfy them, and perhaps put an end to the harassment, is my murder.
How they got here: On several occasions, TeleOnce Channel 11 aired movies containing nudity and obscene language. This led me to file a complaint with the FCC in the United States. The FCC advised me to send them a recording of the movie that had been broadcast, Showgirls, as evidence. I made the mistake of protesting to TeleOnce Channel 11 by email. In that way, they obtained my Internet Protocol address, and some hacker got into my computer and obtained my home address. To keep me from continuing with my complaint, they, along with the FCC in the United States, began listening to me. When I realized what was happening, I insulted them from my room because they had invaded our privacy.
Unknown People: Apparently, it was not Channel 11 that was listening to us, but rather unknown individuals who have been following us ever since. But how did these people get to our home if not through Channel 11? They were not simply going to appear out of nowhere and decide to harass this house. They already had an agenda, and that agenda was blackmail. Remember: “Either you kill yourself, or we will torture you.”
At this very moment, while I am writing this document, they are harassing me. Because my family and I are being monitored, they can hear everything we do. They know everything about us, where we live, where we go, and where we might be. One of these days, they are going to kill me or a member of my family in retaliation.
My Hope: I only hope that this complaint will be taken seriously and not dismissed simply because I am a mental health patient. Give yourselves the opportunity to believe me and to understand that everything I have written here is true. In that way, you may be able to stop a group of people who have no respect for life, family, or the privacy of others. If possible, I would like the neighbors to be interviewed under oath.
During your investigation, please always keep in mind that they may also be listening to you, the police. I am not trying to tell you how to do your job; these are only suggestions that you may consider if you find them appropriate.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and for taking prompt action in this matter. I will be eternally grateful.
Please, if you know very well that years ago in Cleveland, United States, a man named Ariel Castro kidnapped three girls and held them captive for ten years, and you know that story was true, then give yourselves the chance to believe that this is also true. Do not dismiss it as just another story. If the authorities had never gone to Ariel Castro’s house and investigated, no one would have believed it based on words alone. Believe that what is happening here is true, just as the story of those three girls was true.
Dear Neighbors: They Watch by Day and They Watch by Night
This letter is intended to inform you about what has been happening on our street for several years. Some immoral and unscrupulous people, who discriminate against no one, have been invading all of our privacy by electronic means for years. They do not care whether you have children, elderly people, mental health patients, or minors in your home. They limit themselves to repeating phrases like the ones you will read below. If you have ever wondered where the phrase “YOU’LL SEE” comes from, which they say very often, you should know that it comes from them. They are after me, Rubén Del Valle Rivera, and they hear everything that happens inside our homes. For that reason, you are also victims of these unscrupulous people, because they are listening not only to us, but also to the rest of the neighborhood. When you hear about my death, you will know that they are responsible and that what I am telling you in this letter is true.
Please pay close attention to the following: the distant voices you hear, the ones that seem to come from nowhere, belong to unscrupulous people who are listening to everyone on this street through electronic means. If you pay attention, you will notice that they say things like the following, and forgive the language:
“They’re going to..., asshole, that’s right, son of a bitch, they’re coming for you, you are right, you’re right, you’re going to get screwed, whatever, no wonder, they’re going to kill you... you’ll see us yet...” among many other phrases.
These are some of the words that most of the neighbors on this street hear most often. I also want you to know that at least one person in our own neighborhood is helping these people commit these crimes, including invasion of privacy, harassment, and death threats. The purpose of this letter is to make you aware of what is happening around you.
I am writing again to stress what some unscrupulous and perverted people are doing. They spend twenty-four hours a day listening to the private lives of the families in this neighborhood, from the most ordinary daily matters to the most intimate moments that can happen between a consenting couple.
As proof that this is true, you can hear them say phrases such as “that’s exactly it,” “you’ll see,” “what’s waiting for you,” and “don’t you realize,” among others I have mentioned in previous letters. These threats are directed at my family.
Without shame, they blame me for the very things they themselves are doing to all of us, as if they had the right to invade the privacy of our homes without caring what they hear, who is involved, or what we are doing in our own houses. Needless to say, everything they hear becomes gossip among them, which means all of us end up being talked about by a gang of criminals. It is even possible that they could steal the identities of the neighbors they listen to in order to take Social Security numbers or bank account information. Remember: they hear everything, including, and especially, your sexual privacy.
For those who have children, they can even hear them when they use the bathroom, as if we all lived in a public restroom and had no right to privacy in our own homes.
Because they know where we are going by violating our privacy, they have gone so far as to follow our family when we go on vacation, staying hidden and out of sight, just as they have done in our neighborhood over the years.
If you listen carefully to the distant voice saying the things I mention here and in previous communications, you will see that what I am saying is completely true.
So be careful what you say or do in your homes, because they are listening to you and violating your privacy in the very center of your private lives.
As you already know, there is a gang of perverts listening to all of our personal, family, and even sexual intimacy. They have been doing this since the year 2000, and now it has been 25 years.
Over time, many neighbors have come and gone, some without ever realizing what was happening, and others fully aware of it.
By listening to couples having sexual relations in their own homes, the only clear conclusion is that these people are sexual offenders.
And by listening to so many minors over the past twenty years throughout the neighborhood, as families moved in and out, these people have become not only sexual violators of couples, but also child abusers, because they listen to minors inside their homes, even during the most private bodily functions.
They say that I am the bad one. But who is really in the wrong here? For the past twenty years, they have dedicated themselves to persecuting all of us and violating our privacy, from sexual privacy to the privacy of our children. It can honestly be said that they have practically entered our bedrooms by listening to everything that happens inside our families.
And after all that, they still want to act innocent, blaming others for the very things they are doing to us.
