About Paulette J. Buchanan

I'm a former educator and a crime victim/survivor who now educates the public on how to cope with, heal from, and fight back against aggressive stalking, death threats, cybercrimes, religious cult tactics, and the weaponization of the courts by stalkers (including religious cult leaders). I've written my first book, Fighting for Justice: Religious Fraud, Mental Illness, and the Collapse of Law & Order, which details the origins and continuation of my four older brothers' abusive behavior (one of my brothers is a cult leader). In both my book and as a speaker, I explain that from childhood my four brothers have subjected me and others to decades of abuse, including abuse by stalking me and others through the courts by filing pro se (without an attorney) utterly meritless lawsuits for no other purpose than to defame, harass, and cause distress. Abusers often file their lawsuits pro se, and the courts enable and empower these abusers as they weaponize the courts to damage victims emotionally and financially due to the victims' need to hire attorneys to dismiss these abusive lawsuits. My book describes the corruption of our government and our courts to adequately address severe mental health problems and criminal actions. Despite this corruption and these failures of our court system, I highlight my hard-won successes to get judgments and injunctions against the worst of my brothers, and to be a part of enacting a judicial reform law. My book offers very practical, good sense solutions for victims and for policy makers. I work with legislators to propose and enact better, more protective laws for victims, and I educate people about the political ideology that has created a criminals' paradise that affects every aspect of everyone's life. Most importantly, I offer encouragement to other victims/survivors on how to take day by day steps to improve and maintain good mental and spiritual health in the midst of adversity, and I provide tips on how to recover financially from the expense of being stalked through the courts.
