In the absence of contact with any group known to practice it?
Just because we are unaware of the details, doesn't mean there was no contact.

The first. As vile as they are, the Co$ don't target people at random, they go after those they consider a threat (mostly this means reporters, government investigators, and ex-Happyologists).
They also go after people who refuse their "kind invitation to join". Personal experience. They harassing me just because I said "Thanks, but no thanks".

No one is going to target anyone who is an OS-dev, on the basis of being an OS-dev. Terry Davis got harassed because he was seen by malicious idiots as entertainingly crazy and easily provoked, not because he was writing TempleOS.
Maybe so with Travis. However I'm pretty sure
Hans Raiser was targeted because he was flagged as a Linux kernel contributor. For those who are unfamiliar with the story, it's a well known fact that the Russian mob sells poor girls on the net. Hans wanted to buy one, and he was foolish enough to marry someone who "accidentally" showed up on his bride-over-mail date (other than the bride-to-be). Then later, of course she robbed him, literally cleared all his company's bank accounts. What's more, they took away Hans' chlidren from him ("
disconnection", sounds familiar?), because the thief wife accused the poor robbed lad in court untruely. That's what we know for sure. Obviously there has been some other harassments in the background which drove Hans crazy, as he ended up killing his ex-wife. It's a shame how they destroyed him, as he was one of the most talented Linux developer. (Just to be clear, I'm sure it's not the CoS behind this particular case, more likely the Russian government),

Also, keep in mind that the 'gangstalking' only occurred some twenty years after Davis was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and all reports indicate that it was always related to his Internet activites.
Exactly. We don't have reports what happened before and in IRL, except for the family member's talking.
Also keep in mind that DSM has no clear cut instructions. According to that, "The predominant features of schizophrenia include hallucinations and delusions and disorganized speech and behavior".
- hallucinations, disorganized speech: this can be easily arranged by drugging the victims without their knowledge. No magic or mental illness invonlved here. Again, in the Remini show there're examples that the CoS has done this to people. (And no need for black market psychedelics, a Xanax overdose will suffice.)
- delusions: if gangstalking is real, like the "squirrel" thing, then surely the victim was not imaging anything. Of course it's in the criminal's best interest to deny what they have done and call the victim a liar and delusional (who, because being drugged and incapable of organized speech, cannot defend themself).
As you can see, it is extremely easy to fake the symptoms of schizophrenia by a group of stalkers. And let me remind you, that this is exactly the goal of gangstalking, to put the poor victim into jail or into a mental institution.
