The Truth About COINTELPRO Ted Gunderson & Associated Persons
[Written March 28, 2005]
Dear Noreen,
In light of the most recent allegations of Ted L. Gunderson, that your son, Johnny Gosch, is the same person using the name "Jeff Gannon", of the White House "Gannongate" scandal, I believe it is my duty to offer you the truth.
I certainly can't claim to know the truth about the identity of your son. I don't know if Johnny Gosch is Jeff Gannon. In order to establish the truth of that, I would need solid evidence, which I do not have. I have not personally investigated the case. But I can offer for your consideration the truthful testimony of several persons, including myself, testimony which is based on facts and supported by documented evidence.
Truthful testimony, at least, about the credibility, legitimacy and trustworthiness (rather, the lack thereof) of the primary source of these latest allegations, ex-FBI agent and COINTELPRO operative Ted Gunderson. The truth as well, about his cadre of criminal cronies (including John DeCamp) and retinue of minions (people such as Tim White.) The truth about such individuals who are involved in the dissemination of lies and disinformation for an agenda which is serving no good end. They are part of the problem, involving the abduction, sexual abuse and slavery of children, NOT part of the solution. They are also running the coverup, while claiming to be exposing it, which complicates things immeasurably.
I can assure you that the least of their concerns (in my opinion, not a concern at all) is the welfare of your son, Johnny Gosch. Nor your welfare, Noreen; nor the welfare of any of the many other parents and children who have been grievously wronged, abused, violated and exploited, who have suffered the kind of trauma and heartbreak that most of us can only imagine.
My own sister, Irene Adrian, was a victim of CIA-sponsored child sexual abuse. In early adulthood, while under mind control by CIA, she was sexually abused by a number of politicians, including Nelson Rockefeller. She was held hostage in a hotel room by Dick Cheney during the 1970s, while living in Omaha, Nebraska. During that time, she was acquainted with several of the principals in the "Franklin Coverup". She is still involved in a number of lawsuits, the opposition being CIA operatives connected to this criminal network, whom I publicly exposed after an investigation which I began in 1995 and which continues to this day.
In fact, Ted Gunderson became briefly involved in my sister's case between 1997 and 1998. I was attempting to rescue my sister from the abuses of criminal CIA operatives Ron and Mary Ann Cerra, her (then) next-door neighbors in Wilmington, North Carolina. At that time, I still trusted Ted Gunderson and asked him to help my sister. The results were disastrous. The story is too long to go into here, but I will say one thing: My sister Irene later told me, "If I had listened to the advice of Ted Gunderson [she chose not to] I would have ended up in a mental institution --or possibly even dead." A statement with which I am in agreement, based on my own observations, having been a witness to many related events.
The agenda of Ted Gunderson et al is to maintain the coverup of a massive and pervasive government-sponsored child sex slavery and pornography network (also used to blackmail government officials involved). The same coverup which has been in place these many years, long before the abduction of one of the victims of these nefarious black operations --your son, Johnny Gosch.
Noreen, I realize that you don't really know me. You and I had only exchanged a few e-mails several years ago. I believe it was after you had read some of my articles on CIA black ops, in the whistle-blower section of Conspiracy Planet. You may remember that you asked Uri Dowbenko, the editor, to make an introduction to me. Our e-mails were cordial, but we never had a chance to talk. I also know that there were quite a few people who wanted to prevent us from communicating. Apparently, they succeeded.
Uri Dowbenko has since removed my name from his featured whistle-blowers column and no longer publishes my work. Since that time, Dowbenko has been promoting Susan Ford aka Brice Taylor, and other known associates of Ted Gunderson. And I know that Uri's main interest is making money. He told me so himself, repeatedly.
My interest is not money, and never has been. I have lived in poverty for many years, since breaking out of CIA black ops in 1994, and still do. I am financially destitute and the only money that ever came to me to me as a result of my work (as an activist, an investigator and journalist) was contributions from the public, which completely dried up several years ago, due to the libel and slander campaigns being run against me by the criminals who have a lot to lose if the truth about their operations comes out.
My primary interest is SEEING JUSTICE DONE, not only for myself, but for the other legitimate whistle-blowers and survivors of government black operations and their families who have been victimized and exploited by the criminals in government. I am especially sensitive to the plight of children who are drawn into these nefarious operations, because they cannot defend themselves.
I'm also aware that you have heard and read many of the falsehoods being promoted about me by those bearing false witness against me; the same people (including Ted Gunderson, Ken Adachi, Alex Jones, Virginia McCollough, Tim White et al) publishing a plethora of libelous disinformation about Barbara Hartwell. As to why they are doing their damnedest to discredit me, I think that will become clear as you read on. It is the same reason so many websites and radio networks have banned me, blacklisted me or removed my articles from their archives: I am telling the unvarnished truth, I am naming names of criminal perpetrators.
These editors and radio network administrators were feeling the heat. Some were afraid of retaliation by the bad guys. They were also losing money because the criminals who sponsor them threatened to withdraw their financial support. Posting my material is not "cost-effective".
My own website (barbarhartwell.com) has been off-line since August 2004. Although I now have a new domain name (hartwellarchives.com) the new site has been delayed in coming on-line, due to circumstances beyond my control. Hopefully, it will be up soon, but I have no way of knowing when. And currently, I don't know anyone --not a soul-- whom I can rely on to publish my work. I can only hope that if I send this letter to a few friends, someone may be willing to post it on sites they have access to. That is the best I can do.
Earlier this month, I found a piece posted on Conspiracy Planet which featured Ted Gunderson and his latest public report, claiming to have hard evidence that Jeff Gannon is your son, Johnny Gosch.
As I'm sure you know, this same report (and variations thereof) has been posted on hundreds of websites and message boards all over the World Wide Web, spawning the usual endless threads of speculation and conjecture about conspiracies, which run the gamut from unknown and insignificant individuals, right up to CIA and the Bush White House, and just about everyone in between.
As I'm also sure you know, most of the people, garden-variety cyber-junkies and "bloggers", posting these conspiracy theories are largely ignorant of any facts. They do not know you; they do not know your son. Nor have they ever had contact with any of the principals in the case, be they investigators, victims, nor the subjects of any investigations. Most are simply parroting what they have heard or read and, unfortunately, by in engaging in such unsubstantiated conjecture, they can only muddy the already murky waters. There is little help for that; it is the nature of the Internet.
But I am not writing this letter to offer you any such conspiracy theories; nor uninformed speculation. Everything I present to you here comes directly from one or all of the following: my own direct experience; events in which I have been involved or to which I have been a firsthand witness; investigations I have personally conducted over a period of years, complete with the testimony of witnesses I have interviewed; and in some cases, documentation to support their testimony and/or the facts outlined here. In my considered professional opinion, as a trained investigator and intelligence analyst, the testimony of the witnesses named here is credible and the individuals are legitimate.
But only you can decide, through your own discernment, what you believe to be true. The same applies to readers from the general public. I do not expect you or anyone else to take my allegations at face value; certainly not as the gospel truth. All I can ask --and what I hope for-- is that you will consider what I have to say with an open mind. My prayer is that God will reveal the truth to you (if this has not already happened) as well as to many others, especially those who have any personal stake in this case; cases of similar facts, or the related issues.
TIM WHITE: WHO IS HE TO MAKE IRONCLAD CLAIMS OF "100% CONFIRMATION"?
Let me begin with a message posted by Tim White, one of Ted Gunderson's minions. I first saw this message posted on a commercial site (known for spreading disinformation) called Rumor Mill News, by a person using the screen name "Monk" . Later, I found it posted on many other sites, including Friends of Liberty (a site owned by a porno-monger and pathological liar, Todd Brendan Fahey who spreads outrageous lies about myself and others) and even Jeff Rense, the most high-traffic and commercial site of them all.
[100% CONFIRMATION GANNON/GUCKERT IS JOHHNY GOSCH
Last evening I received a call from Ted Gunderson who is presently in Nebraska to interview a central figure in the Franklin Coverup case that is at the root of this "Jeff Gannon" story. A confidential source of Teds' has-in a conversation with Ted yesterday afternoon-given a 100% confirmation that Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert is very definitely Johnny Gosch.Ted has the full backing and authority of the mother of Johnny,Noreen Gosch,to handle this as only Ted would
know how,along with the complete assistance of John DeCamp.Ted and John DeCamp are the investigators and exposers of the Franklin Coverup.Ted has given me the greenlight to write and post this much so far but for very obvious reasons,I cannot go into greater detail at this time, though I do know more than what I can add to this at this time.As I have been told,more
information will soon be forthcoming with the authorization to post when I receive it.
Tim White, Viet Nam Vet(Air Force),Concerned Citizen]
If an issue is of serious concern to me, as this one is, whenever I find a report posted on that issue, the first thing I do is look at the source(s) of the information. In this case, the primary source named is Ted Gunderson. A secondary source is John DeCamp, and finally, Tim White, the actual "author" of the report, as well as the person disseminating the information.
So let me start with Tim White. I have conducted a thorough investigation of Tim White, starting in August 2001. The reason I found it necessary to investigate White is that this man (whom I had never heard of and did not know) targeted me for a number of criminal violations, beginning with his false claims about death threats made against me by a so-called "CIA assassin" (a threat which was entirely bogus and in which an innocent person was implicated); which later escalated to various forms of criminal harassment, including by phone, and which eventually included Tim White's own death threats against me, for which I have several witnesses.
One of these witnesses is Doreen Bishop of Colorado, against whom White has also been engaging in criminal harassment and stalking since 2002, when he was released from prison on probation after a drug-related felony conviction. Tim White has also made death threats against Doreen, as well as several other people, including federal whistle-blower Stew Webb and Iran-Contra/S&L/HUD whistle-blower Al Martin.
In fact, a permanent restraining order was granted to Doreen Bishop by a court in Denver, in 2002, of which I have a copy, given to me by Doreen when I made a trip to Denver in the summer of 2002, for the purpose of investigating the "Denver Connection" in the Bush/Clinton/CIA crime syndicate, by which I and members of my family had been targeted.
I also have many other documents which serve as evidence of the criminal activities of Tim White. I have letters written by Tim White which document his death threats against various individuals and I have tapes of White's prodigious phone harrassment of myself and my family. I have had to change my phone number more than once, because of White and others like him, provocateurs who are doing the bidding of government-sponsored criminal networks.
The latest I know of on Tim White is that he had made a death threat by phone against a female police officer in Denver who had attempted to apprehend him when, three (3) years after a permanent restraining order was granted, he continued to criminally harass and stalk Doreen Bishop. A warrant was put out for his arrest, but White is still running amok in Denver, posting his libelous falsehoods about many people (including myself) from public libraries. White is also sponsored by Ken Adachi on his website, Educate Yourself.
You may see an article on Ken Adachi et al which is posted on http://www.stewwebb.com
It is titled, KEN ADACHI: STOOGE & APOLOGIST FOR CROOKS, LIARS, WHACKJOBS & PORNO-MONGERS
Yesterday, a friend of mine, Robert Bradford, posted a letter from me to Tom Scott, in the security division of Denver Public Libraries, which included information from an official court document on Tim White, on a site called American Patriot Friends Network (APFN). By this morning (March 28) the post had been deleted. Tim White posts regularly on this site and it also features articles by Ken Adachi. APFN purports to be open for public posting, but as I myself have experienced in the past, the editor, Ken Vardon, simply deletes any posts he doesn't like, while allowing people like Tim White to post libelous disinformation about others like myself, with impunity. So be it.
But I will include the letter here for public perusal:
[Tom:
I am the person you spoke to on the phone, along with Stew Webb, re the predicate felon Tim White. I am ex-CIA and work as an independent investigative journalist and private intelligence consultant/analyst. I have been investigating Tim White since August 2001, due to criminal activities directed against myself and other former intelligence operatives, law enforcement personnel and federal whistleblowers.
Below, see the info on Tim White, taken from a Denver police report in 2002. I have a copy of the document, but the info below should suffice. I do not have a current address or phone # for White.
Among his other criminal violations, Tim White engages in cyber-stalking, computer hacking, criminal harassment and has made death threats against myself, Stew Webb and others. He also publishes false and libelous "reports" on the Internet, using public library computers in the greater Denver metro area.
We cannot say for certain which public libraries White is using, but we did track down one IP address as coming from the Denver International Airport (198.202.202.43). This message was posted on APFN message board re Brenda Negri, one of White's criminal cohorts who also makes death threats and disseminates false, libelous info on public message boards.
We have also made a call to security/police at DIA.
As far as we are aware, there is at least one warrant currently out for White's arrest for making a death threat against a female police officer in Denver, as well as multiple violations of a restraining order for stalking a woman named Doreen Bishop.
We know that White uses various public library computers for his illegal/criminal activities. We would appreciate it if you could determine whether or not White could be tracked down via your library computer system, as he is committing criminal violations using that system.
The Denver Police should be notified if you learn of his presence, as they will then be able to apprehend him. I would also appreciate being contacted if White shows up at your library or others in the Denver Public Library system.
Thank you for your consideration.

WHAT ARE TIM WHITE'S CREDENTIALS? WHERE DOES HE GET HIS "FACTS"?
I should also add that I have never seen anything posted by Tim White which bears any resemblance to the truth, at least about any legitimate person he has targeted, and there have been quite a few. But aside from his vicious libel of various individuals, Tim White is just a scavenger who posts recycled information on generic issues, written by others, which he finds on the Internet. He claims to be a "Concerned Citizen" which is how he signs all his posts.
However, Tim White's lack of credentials and bona fides; as well as his documented criminal background as a convicted (and predicate) felon, notwithstanding, let me pose this question:
What could possibly constitute "100% confirmation" about the identity of your son, Johnny Gosch as Jeff Gannon? That is an awfully strong statement to make, especially to publish far and wide. More importantly, how is Tim White, an uninvolved bystander, and complete amateur, qualified to make this ironclad claim?
The answer is clear: Tim White is not qualified to make any such claims. He knows nothing from his own experience. He is not an investigator. He is in fact, uneducated. His writings demonstrate this as well as anything could. Tim White is merely a loud-mouthed dupe who shoots off his mouth at every opportunity, often using obscenity to smear his targets.
What he thinks he knows comes mostly from the disinformation he is fed by Ted Gunderson and his criminal cohorts, who are exploiting him for their own ends. Tim White simply parrots what he is fed (most of which is false) and has been doing so, to my knowledge, going as far back as 2001, when I first heard of him. Tim White does not know me and has never met me. He calls me "Barbara Hartwell, that CIA bitch" in his public posts and has been doing so for years. He also calls me a "whore", along with other vile epithets which I refuse to put into print.
In point of fact, Tim White is a delusional pathological liar with an axe to grind, who made a deal with criminal government operatives and law enforcement personnel, for a get-out-of-jail-free card in 2002, in return for targeting legitimate whistle-blowers like myself. I have a file chock-full of the many lies Tim White has posted, about me alone, spanning a time period between 2001 and the present day, 2005. He has even tried to implicate me in murders, that is, of people I never knew, had never met nor ever had any contact with. I have the documents, all in my file.
Tim White has zero credibility among legitimate whistle-blowers and professionals and is mentally unstable (to say the least) to boot.
Now, it's important that I add the testimony of another person who has been victimized by Ted Gunderson, and subsequently targeted by Tim White, Jackie McGauley. I am aware that you know Jackie but when I spoke to her recently she told me that she had not been able to get in contact with you for quite some time. She also knows that Ted Gunderson has told many lies about her to anyone he associates with.
The following is taken from a report I wrote in 2003.
A MOTHER'S MESSAGE ON SEXUAL & SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE
Jackie McGauley is the primary whistle-blower, the mother who exposed the McMartin Preschool atrocities, involving sexual and satanic ritual abuse of children.
Jackie first contacted me in 2002, saying she had been wanting to talk to me for years. Her reason was compelling: to furnish vital information and evidence about former FBI Senior SAC Ted L. Gunderson, who tried to take full credit for the McMartin Preschool investigation, at Jackie's expense. In fact, Jackie deserves all the credit: It was HER child who was abused. It was JACKIE who raised the money, through a campaign for donations, which made it possible for the archaeological dig uncovering the underground tunnels, to take place. It was JACKIE who gave her heart-wrenching testimony on all the major TV and radio talk shows. Not Ted Gunderson.
And it was Jackie who finally provided me with enough solid evidence for me to realize, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that a person I had once trusted with my life, Ted Gunderson, was anything but trustworthy.
HOODWINKED BY TED GUNDERSON
I had worked with Gunderson for three (3) years between 1997-2000. I spoke with him at conferences; traveled with him to work on investigations in various areas of the country; did radio and TV interviews with him.
In February 1998, Insider Secrets of Government Corruption, a seminar given by myself, Ted Gunderson, ex-CIA operative Gene 'Chip' Tatum and Brice Taylor aka Sue Ford, at the Global Sciences Congress in Daytona Beach, Fla. was followed by a TV interview with Ryan Elliot of Chicago Health Television.
In a taped interview was never aired by the station. The topics, which included firsthand testimony about CIA drug-running, assassinations and mind control; and which named names of many criminals in government, including George H.W. Bush, was deemed too inflammatory for television.
However, Ted Gunderson and Sue Ford made large profits off bootleg sales of this tape (made by a back-up cameraman, Jon Gentry, working for Gunderson) while I received nothing, not a penny, for my work. Gunderson minions, such as Jon Gentry, Ted's videographer, and Ted's sidekick, Doug Millar, a low-level penetration agent for Division 5 of the Denver FBI and Domestic Contact Services (a CIA operation also run out of Denver) also pirated this tape, which has been sold all over the Internet, by many others, including charlatan and disinfo specialist David Icke, another Gunderson crony, copyright violations notwithstanding. The tape, under the title, Mind Control Goes Public, is even on sale at Aamazon.com. As long as they're making money, nobody cares.
I cut off contact with Ted Gunderson in January 2000, long before I talked to Jackie McGauley, after I uncovered my own evidence of his involvement in numerous scams; dirty dealings and COINTELPRO-style operations.
Gunderson in fact admitted to me, in a face-to-face conversation, at his son's home in New Jersey, in November 1999, that John DeCamp, author of The Franklin Coverup, was himself INVOLVED in the sexual abuse of children, after I confronted Ted about this and explained that I knew about it from another absolutely trustworthy source. This was the reason I was banned from Genesis Communications Network by Alex Jones in 2003, because I told the truth on The Floyd Report about Gunderson's and DeCamps's involvement in child sex slavery and pornography rings (including Operation Brownstone and CIA Finders); and also about Gunderson's dealings with Osama bin Laden, when he sold Stinger missles to him in 1979, while still working for the FBI. I have documentation for these facts.
Although I was hoodwinked by Gunderson for the entire time of my association with him (3 years in all) once I realized that I myself was a target of these operations, and that Gunderson had been planted on me by CIA (to attempt to "contain" me and stop me from exposing truthful info about CIA/military black ops in which I had been involved) I put as much distance between myself and Ted Gunderson as possible.
I declined to testify against Ted in the Art Bell lawsuit when Bell's lawyers approached me through another witness. This was because in all fairness, at the time (1999) I did not have enough relevant evidence to work with. For me, no matter what knowledge I may possess, evidence and documentation are key.
That evidence came later, after I had lived through severe trauma due to death threats, intimidation tactics and set ups, all of which could be traced back to connections, in one way or another, with Ted Gunderson and his criminal cronies. As a result of being targeted by these criminals, my health was ruined and my financial situation became so desperate that I had to beg money from family and friends, just to avoid being thrown into the street, because I could not pay my rent or other bills.
In fact, while still in communication with Gunderson, he himself had called me several times (when I refused to cooperate with various schemes Gunderson was running) telling me that, "They want you dead, Barbara". I told Ted at that time that if that is what "they" wanted, then they could take their best shot. That I was not about to be intimidated or silenced. At certain times, I was also told that I was being "protected" by Gunderson and that he had "arranged for retaliation" against anyone who tried to put a hit on me. When I thought back on this, it did not surprise me (whether true or not) since I know from firsthand experience that this is the way government criminals operate. They're just like the Mafia: If the opposition takes out one of yours, you even the score by taking out one of theirs. If in fact I did have any such "protection" it was summarily removed, once I cut off my association with Ted Gunderson.
Ted Gunderson claims I am still being handled by CIA. That is a lie also being promoted by other Gunderson minions and toadies, such as Ken Adachi, Ted's primary mouthpiece and PR man for spreading libelous disinformation. These individuals, such as Adachi and White have never furnished ANY evidence to substantiate their many libelous claims and outrageous lies against Barbara Hartwell and others. This is because NO SUCH EVIDENCE EXISTS.
Once I severed my ties with Gunderson, a number of his cronies, minions and dupes (too numerous to mention) were sent after me, all of whom used various tactics in attempts to bribe me, silence me; intimidate me or set me up. None of them succeeded. Some of Gunderson's cronies are CIA, such as operative Don Stacey of Boston. Please see my report, Exposed: CIA MK Ultra Containment Op, posted in the Hartwell Archives on ex-FBI agent Geral Sosbee's website:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com
I am very glad to have made contact with Jackie McGauley. I have spoken with her for many hours on the phone, though I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting her. She is a courageous woman who is not afraid to tell the truth about anything she has experienced, including her dealings with Ted Gunderson. I consider her a friend and a valuable ally.
I must also give credit to Stew Webb, who suffered major abuse at Gunderson's hands, including attempts on his life, false arrests, a SWAT team raid on false charges and other forms of persecution. Stew and Jackie were each instrumental in helping me finally see the truth about Ted Gunderson. It just about broke my heart, but the truth is the truth and I know it when I hear it from sincere individuals describing the abuses they have suffered. They both also provided documentation to substantiate their testimony.
Since March 2001, there has been a vicious libel, slander and harassment campaign against myself, Stew Webb, Jackie McGauley and others, all of whom have told the truth about our experiences with Ted Gunderson, in addition to being whistle-blowers about government corruption which we directly witnessed and experienced.
MESSAGE FROM JACKIE MCGAULEY
06-18-03
[I am writing to only a small, select group of people who have been interested in my experiences. You know where I am coming from, my background, and how I have been fighting for survivors and doing research to make sense out of all of this.
When I threw Ted Gunderson out of my house and figured out my damages, I found I was over $30,000 in debt. I was a single mother of 2 young children, only receiving $300 per month in child support. I was very ill the entire time Ted was in my house. Needless to say, the kids and I were destitute. I was unable to be very involved in the issue. Survival for me and my kids was all I could manage. Some of you know how desperate my situation was and helped me.
In the mid 90s Cheri Seymour, who had been around the last 2 of the years I was with Ted, approached me to join her in writing a book. Frankly, I was scared. I refused and asked her not to use my name in the book.
Cheri wrote the book, based on her experiences and documents gathered during that time. That book is The Last Circle. Cherie used a pen name, Carol Marshall. From what I hear, Cherie has had a rough time and had to go into hiding. I doubt I would have lived if I had worked with her on this project.
If you are truly interested in why Bush bombed Iraq, why our children are sadistically abused in preschools and daycare, why the perps are getting away with it and how it all fits together, this book is key. It is available on the Internet at no cost. Enter the words "The Last Circle and "JM" into Google or Yahoo search and you can read about my involvement.
Obviously, for years I could not afford to buy this book. A draft was sent to me in 1999, the year my mother passed away. I did not take the time to read it until just recently.
I urge you to look at the book and please let me know what you think or if you have any questions.
I have been told by most of you that I should write a book, well, an important part of that book has been written.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
tunnelreport@aol.com
Sincerely,
Jackie]
And there is more testimony from Jackie McGauley. Below is Jackie's response to Ken Adachi, the dupe who staunchly defends Gunderson, no matter how much evidence he is given which points to the truth. Jackie in fact contacted Adachi, in attempts to furnish him with firsthand information and EVIDENCE about Ted Gunderson. Adachi ignored Jackie, and refused to talk to her, rather than even CONSIDERING the evidence, not even giving her the benefit of the doubt. He then started libeling Jackie on his website, just as he had done to me, Stew Webb and others. Adachi continues to publish his libelous falsehoods against anyone who opposes Gunderson, to this day.
Ted Gunderson promoted himself in the media as the "hero" who exposed the McMartin scandal. In fact, Ted Gunderson had nothing to do with the investigation, much less the archaeological tunnel dig. He even claimed that he had singlehandly financed the dig with his own money! I heard this statement both privately and publicly, at conferences where Ted was lecturing. But the truth is, Ted simply had his photo taken at the dig, and used it as part of a slide show at conferences.
I myself used to defend and endorse Ted Gunderson for years, believing all the hype I heard and read from Ted and his promoters, such as Sue Ford, Doug Millar, Jon Gentry and others. In 1998 I even wrote a letter to then-director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, on Ted's behalf, defending Ted, just because Ted asked me to!.... and because Ted said he was "under investigation" by the FBI. Maybe I believed in Ted because I wanted to believe.
But in service to the truth, I had to draw the line at covering for Ted, or anyone else, and especially when Ted has been spreading the lie, being promoted for years by Ken Adachi, that I am still being handled, or "under mind control" by CIA. Adachi has called me "the most vicious CIA disinfo agent" ever to appear on the Internet and has published many other outrageous lies in attempts to discredit me, to impugn my credentials and even my sanity.
ACCUSED OF WORKING FOR CIA BY RUMOR MILL NEWS
Ted knows damn well this is NOT true, that I do not work for CIA, as do most of the others promoting this lie, including Rayelan Allan of Rumor Mill News, who was intimidated by Ted Gunderson and is scared to death of him, as she admitted to me herself, in both phone conversations and e-mails,over a period of time ranging from 2000 to 2003. She told me that her former husband, Gunther Russbacher, had warned her never to say anything against Ted Gunderson, because if she did he might have her eliminated.
Rayelan was getting harassing phone calls from Gunderson and his lackey, Tim White, in 2003, after I exposed some of their criminal activities on Rumor Mill News. She attempted to dissuade me from publishing the truth about these criminals. I refused to be censored or told what to do, and she finally caved in to their threats.
Rayelan betrayed me out of cowardice (and also greed, fearing she would lose her profits from Rumor Mill News) and subsequently publicly accused me of working for CIA, as did many of the so-called "news agents" who post their New Age drivel on her website. Not one of them stood up for me or confronted Rayelan for her lies, and I have lost respect for them all. And Rayelan is now publishing disinformation from Gunderson and his dupe, Tim White. Nothing surprises me anymore. I'm certainly profoundly disgusted at the cowardice and money-grubbing attitudes, but not surprised.
But, unlike Ken Adachi, I DO have an open mind and I AM willing to listen and consider evidence when it's placed in front of me. I admitted long ago that I had been hoodwinked by Gunderson and so have others, including Stew Webb and Jackie McGauley. All of us eventually woke up to the truth. And we have all paid a heavy price for exposing that truth. A price we continue to pay to this day.
JACKIE MCGAULEY'S RESPONSE TO KEN ADACHI
Here are Jackie's comments to Ken Adachi:
[Ted stole the body of his work from me. I got documents from journalists in exchange for my interviews. I got ALL of the material on Michael Aquino and Anton Lavey from Ivan Sharpe of the San Francisco Chronicle. He got them from Anton and Aquino.
Ted stole the files when he was sharing my house --the place where he embezzled $30,000 from me. He got his information about Aleister Crowley from me in conversations about what I had read. I confirmed with his ex-wife Jocelyn that Ted does not read books or know how to use a computer.
All that crap about how great he is, is written by his "Associates." [Ken Aadachi & Co.]
Ted met Sue Ford aka Brice Taylor, Noreen Gosch and many others, through me. No professionals that I worked with during that time would have anything to do with Ted, in fact they warned me to get away from him.
I let him stay because he had gotten me in debt and I was determined to make him pay me back.

LETTER FROM TIM WHITE TO JACKIE MCGAULEY
Here is a letter written by Tim White to Jackie McGauley. Following is her response to Tim White's defense of COINTELPRO operative Ted Gunderson, whom White answers to.
Tim White wrote:
[I know from the lips of Noreen Gosch that you are a LIAR, Jackie McGauley. She called me 2 weeks ago to tell me of her strong support for Ted and also about what a FRAUD Barbara (Babbles Barfwell) Hartwell is-same for Lithium Stewwie. I also received an e-mail from Virginia McCullough stating the same thing. While I am aware of VM s' data dump on Gunderson,she says the same for you Jackie. Didn't like that you got caught in your scam at the conference at Chino-trying to get Gunderson bumped from his INVITED speaking engagement-did you?
I am responsible for that happening.What do you expect? When you hook up with a fraud like LIAR SHI*THEAD WEBB.You don't need to question who I am but we ALL need to question who YOU are, since you seem to be part of the same CIA/FBI/NSA/DOJ disinformation operation.I don't speak or spread lies but I love to uncover the LIES of others and I will continue doing just that.

JACKIE MCGAULEY'S RESPONSE TO TIM WHITE
[I know Ted Gunderson, too.
Unfortunately, he spent 3 years at my house in the early 90s. I don't know if he is a victim of MKUltra, but he sure had some "interesting" friends. And he sure is erratic. Abusive? I was afraid to tell my doctor when I went to be
treated for the spiral fracture of a finger.
I took all of his phone calls during that period so I know who he was dealing with. Michael Riconosciuto, his father Marshall, Ray Lavas, Tony Patterson, and numerous weird characters frequently visited and called him at my house. He ran up bills so enormous that when I finally got him to leave I was forced to file bankruptcy. I was a struggeling single mother with 2 small children.
We literally starved and barely kept a roof over our heads because of the devastation Ted left in his path. My weight went down to 95 pounds.
He knows I believe in documentation. He took most of my papers on child molestation cases from my files and has them for sale. If I hadn't been one step away from a homeless shelter the past 10 years I would have filed a suit against him --that, plus he does not have a physical address --he still "sleeps on people's couches" as he told me.
One of those years is documented very well in Cheri Seymour's (AKA Carole Marshall) book The Last Circle--available online.
I wonder who Tim White is. He has talked about me in his rantings but I don't know him. What are his credentials? What does he do for a living? What is his education? Why does he spread all those lies?
If he wants some facts --documented-- all he needs to do is ask. I really doubt he wants any facts.
But you don't have to talk to me, just go to the Hall of Records in LA County, Orange County, ANY county where Ted Gunderson has operated, and look up records on him.
You will be amazed!

SOME PERSONAL COMMENTS FROM BARBARA HARTWELL TO NOREEN GOSCH
Now let me end this letter by asking you, Noreen, to please at least consider all of what I've offered here. If you have been hoodwinked by Ted Gunderson, please understand that this is something which could happen to anyone (and certainly has, to many decent, intelligent people) especially those who have suffered grievous injustices of one kind or another at the hands of criminal elements of government, and don't know where else to turn for help.
Some (all mothers of abused and/or abducted children) paid large sums of money to either Gunderson, as an investigator, or to John DeCamp, whom they retained as an attorney. None of the people whom I have talked to ever received the justice (nor even the legal services) they were promised.
But in any case (whether money changed hands or not) when these individuals are offered "help" by Gunderson, many take it because they have despaired of getting any assistance through the courts, or from law enforcement, though most have tried going that route. I know of several such individuals (whose names I am not at liberty to mention) all of whom have told me the same basic story about their involvement with DeCamp and/or Gunderson: Long story short, they were left twisting in the wind.
This is precisely what happened to me. In 1997, when I first met Ted Gunderson, I made the mistake of turning to him because at the time I was vulnerable in having gone public with my case and I was alone up against CIA, who were trying to neutralize me. No one else was willing to help me.
To this day, I have received no assistance whatsoever from the so-called "justice system". I ask you, Noreen, where's the justice? Have you ever gotten justice? And has Ted Gunderson, ever, at any time, actually done anything of a concrete nature which brought justice? Or has he just talked about justice, leading you on a wild goose chase, where justice is supposedly just around every corner, but never materializes?
I have had to pursue justice on my own, for myself and my family, doing my own investigations, these many years. In all that time, I have never had even one trustworthy person I could rely on to help me; to stand up for me, or even with me. This holds true to this day, though I pray that will change at some future time. But meanwhile, I will continue to pursue justice, I will continue to stand up for the truth, even if I have to keep standing alone.
Please know that this letter is written to you in all sincerity, respectfully, and in empathy with your situation. I haven't lived through a situation which compares to yours, but I do have a son who is only a few years younger than Johnny, whom I had to watch like a hawk and fight for like a wildcat, all through his childhood, to protect him from the CIA criminals; to stop them from getting hold of him, the way they did with me, when I was just a child, recruited without my informed consent from a family of spies (OSS/CIA/Military Intel) in their misguided efforts to "create the perfect spy", trained under CIA's MK Ultra program.
I was never personally subjected to sexual abuse (as I've stated publicly before, I would have killed anyone who tried that, in self defense) but as previously mentioned, I do have a sister, very dear to me, who was raped and tortured by some of the most dangerous criminals on the planet, and whom I have risked my life repeatedly to help and to attempt to rescue from the clutches of CIA. Child abusers (and those who traffic in the child sex slavery /pornography trade) are the lowest scum on the face of the earth. I want to see them all behind bars for their crimes against children and for the heartbreak and suffering they cause for the rest of us, those who love them.
I sincerely hope, for your sake, that you will find out the truth about the identity of your son. Also that he will somehow return to you and be a part of your life. With God, all things are possible, so that is my prayer for you, Noreen. That is something I don't have the wherewithal to help you with, nor would I presume to interfere in your business, nor to make or disseminate dubious and unsubstantiated claims of "100% CONFIRMATION", as so many others, such as Tim White, have done.
But I would be glad to speak with you, to answer any questions you may have about the information outlined here, if you think it would be helpful to you. If not, I can only assume that you will simply disregard this information. At least I'll know I've tried, whatever you may think of me, and I will have no hard feelings if you choose to simply dismiss everything I have said. That is your prerogative, which I will respect.
I also have supporting documentation to corroborate some of the facts. If you wish to contact me you may do so at the postal address given at the top of the page. I do not publish my private e-mail address, since I do not wish to have contact with the public, but you are also free to send an e-mail to me when you (or perhaps one of your associates) receive this letter.
Thank you for your consideration, whatever you may decide.
May God bless you,
Barbara Hartwell
