NOTE: The actual name of this reprobate calling himself Howard Nema is Nemaizer.
The following notice was posted on Howard Nema dot com, on February 24, 2015. For the public record, I find it necessary, once again, to stand in defense of myself and my good name, and to refute the false and defamatory statements given herein.
My comments follow the
notice, and are in brackets, preceded by my initials, BHP.
"BARBARA HARTWELL HAS NO AFFILIATION TO ME OR TRUTH TALK NEWS.
Sadly, I am forced to
post this. I will not spend hours deleting TRUSTED PARTNERS IN TRUTH
from more than 200 posts on this website going back to Feb 2014 at
the request of Barbara Hartwell, unless she would like to pay me for
my time.
I move ahead, not
backwards.
But for the record I
have NO AFFILIATION with ANY GROUP, NETWORK or association. Truth
Talk News and HowardNema.com are free and independent.
No posts in the future
will mention or include Barbara Hartwell’s name. Furthermore, I
kindly ask Barbara Hartwell to stop invading my privacy as she so
often claims that others do to her.
This should end it all.
BARBARA
HARTWELL HAS NO AFFILIATION TO ME OR TRUTH TALK NEWS.
In closing, I truly regret my acts of kindness and charity given to Barbara Hartwell, who I feel is a terribly ungrateful soul.
Barbara, please leave me and my sites out of your reports in the future. I will never mention your name again and I expect you to do the same about me.
Thank you. Enjoy your life and your solitude.
God bless you.
Howard Nema"
[BHP: To begin, there is one truthful and factual statement in this notice:
"BARBARA HARTWELL HAS NO AFFILIATION TO ME OR TRUTH TALK NEWS.”
Yet,
Howard Nema has, for over a year (by his own admission, since
February 2014), knowingly and fraudulently pretended otherwise.
This
notice appears on Howard Nema's site, TRUTH TALK NEWS:
"TRUSTED
PARTNERS IN TRUTH
barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com
[Barbara Hartwell]
truthbroadcastnetwork.com
[Harry Link]
janetphelan.com
[Janet Phelan]"
[&
several other names/sites]
Since
he includes my name as a “partner”, how else could his notice
possibly be interpreted, than that Barbara Hartwell is, at the very
least, “affiliated” with Howard Nema & TRUTH TALK NEWS?
In
point of fact, I have never, at any time, had any affiliation with
“TRUTH TALK NEWS”, nor have I ever stated such a thing. Howard
Nema knows this, and has always known that this is a false statement.
Yet he makes this false claim, knowing it to be false.
This
is a clear case of injurious exploitation of the name of Barbara
Hartwell.
By
using my name and website in his notice, “TRUSTED PARTNERS IN
TRUTH”, Howard Nema has knowingly, in bad faith, falsely
represented my name, my website and my work, known in legal terms as
“false light”, an actionable civil offense.
His
notice is especially egregious due to placing my name on such a list,
AS IF I were ALSO in affiliation (as a "partner") with certain other individuals with
whom he is associated, such as Janet Phelan (Janet Phelan dot com),
and Harry Link ('Truth Broadcast Network dot com).
To
do such a thing, knowing full well of my clearly and publicly stated
position, regarding both Harry Link and Janet Phelan (since 2012), is
not only fraudulent, but inexcusable.
To
be very clear, as stated in my public reports, since 2012 (and known,
by Howard Nema, since that time):
I
do not even know Harry Link. I have never had any dealings or
communications with him. I had only heard of Harry Link because of
his affiliation with Howard Nema, whose program runs on Harry Link's
network.
As
I have previously stated, I consider Harry Link to be an extremely
dishonorable person, who promotes, endorses and supports other
dishonorable individuals, including liars, charlatans, and government
shills. He promotes sensationalist disinformation on his website,
'Truth Broadcast Network'.
Again,
for the record, I have never, at any time, had any association with
Harry Link. Howard Nema knows this, and knew it when he posted the
bogus notice.
As
for Janet Phelan, I broke off my association with her in 2012, for
cause.
For
documentation, see:
THE
PRICE OF LIBERTY: A Retrospective on Political Persecution in America
Knowing
all this, Howard Nema still took it upon himself to place my name and
website in a completely fraudulent notice, with no concern about
widely disseminating a public statement which he KNEW to be a
falsehood.
Additionally,
he apparently did not consider that his associates/friends, namely
Harry Link and Janet Phelan, might be negatively affected by
inclusion in his fraudulent notice. I doubt either one of them would
enjoy having their names placed in association with Barbara Hartwell.
And it would not have been necessary for me to repeatedly bring the
names of these individuals into my reports, except simply because Howard
Nema has misrepresented them as well.]
HN:
“Sadly, I am forced to post this. I will not spend hours deleting
TRUSTED PARTNERS IN TRUTH from more than 200 posts on this website
going back to Feb 2014 at the request of Barbara Hartwell, unless she
would like to pay me for my time.”
[BHP:
Forced to post this? Forced, how? This comment shows not only
complete disrespect and disregard of my rights, but unbridled
arrogance. Howard Nema says he will “not spend hours” deleting
his bogus and fraudulent notice, “at the request of Barbara
Hartwell”.
The
“request” is past tense. (To be specific, since December 15,
2014.) No request, since that time, but a DEMAND. Stated repeatedly,
on February 16, February 21, February 23, February 26. And again
today, February 27, 2015.
A
demand I have every right to make, considering that it is MY name he
has defamed, MY name he has misrepresented. MY name, and MY
reputation. He has knowingly and willfully posted FALSE information.
And his notice itself is irrefutable evidence of such an offense.
And
yet Howard Nema actually has the unmitigated audacity to suggest that the person
who has been wronged, and defamed, the injured party, Barbara
Hartwell, should have to PAY HIM for his time to remove HIS false and
injurious statements?
I
have rarely heard of anything so idiotic. Now, he wants to “cash in”
on his offenses against others?
This
comment alone should show the world the true colors of Howard Nema,
who clearly has no respect whatsoever for the wishes, the personal
boundaries, or even the fundamental rights of others.]
HN:
“I move ahead, not backwards.”
[BHP:
Yet another outrageously arrogant statement. And Howard Nema's idea
of “moving ahead” shows only that he has no concern whatsoever
about the damage he has done to others (in this case, Barbara
Hartwell), resulting from his own wrongful actions. He is
unrepentant, and concerned only with what is convenient for him and
his self-serving agenda.
An
analogy would be helpful: A crime is committed, let's say, forgery.
The forger tells the judge, when pleading 'not guilty':
“Well,
I know I forged that guy's name on a document. BUT, you see, Your
Honor, I've decided to move ahead, not backwards. So, it's all
good.”
His
“defense” will be nothing more than compounding his original
offense. So what if another person has been harmed, and sustained
damages? So what? That, after all, is in the past, which doesn't
matter anymore. He is MOVING AHEAD, and to hell with the damages he
leaves behind in his wake.]
HN:
“But for the record I have NO AFFILIATION with ANY GROUP, NETWORK
or association. Truth Talk News and HowardNema.com are free and
independent.”
[BHP:
Maybe not this week. And maybe it would behoove him to tell that to
Harry Link, whose network is still running Howard Nema's program. Not
to mention the fact that Howard Nema is still advertising that his
program runs on 'Truth Broadcast Network' (what a flaming misnomer!),
on the very same website which contains the false notice about
“TRUSTED PARTNERS IN TRUTH".
But
maybe that is just another aspect of Howard Nema's idea of “moving ahead”. That's the ticket!
Just leave false or outdated information where everyone can see it,
in order to mislead the public, while adhering to his motto of not
moving “backwards”. Heaven forbid!]
HN:
“No posts in the future will mention or include Barbara Hartwell’s
name. Furthermore, I kindly ask Barbara Hartwell to stop invading my
privacy as she so often claims that others do to her.”
[BHP:
What the hell is he talking about? Stop invading HIS privacy? I have
never, at any time, invaded Howard Nema's privacy, in any way, shape
or form. Just another false representation to add to all the others.
As
for the “others” mentioned here (he doesn't specify to whom he
refers), what relevance would these unnamed “others” have to this
issue? None at all.]
HN:
“This should end it all.”
[BHP:
As far as I am concerned, the only “end” is of my former
(ill-fated) “friendship” with a person who has shown himself to
be a self-serving opportunist, acting in the false belief that he can
exploit my name and website for his own ends, with no further
consequences.
But
unless and until he REMOVES my name and website from his ass
“backwards” promotions, the “end” of my righteous outrage and
protests is nowhere in sight.]
HN:
“By the way, Barbara, you are very welcome for all the financial
and other support I rendered to you over the years.”
[BHP:
This is a cheap shot, if ever there was one. So now he wants to drag
in a totally unrelated issue, apparently because he can think of
nothing relevant to the actual issue, the ONLY issue: that he is
falsely representing Barbara Hartwell and defaming my good name.
Over
the years? I have only known Howard Nema since mid-2012. And have not
even spoken to him since the early Spring of 2014 (with good reason,
since I discovered that he had been defaming and exploiting my name).
And
he seems to think that any “financial support” he may have given
me is related in any way to the issues I have addressed?
Maybe,
like so many others who have claimed to be my “supporters”, he is
so misguided as to think his “support” has “bought” him the
right to exploit my name, or to disregard my clearly stated wishes
about my personal/professional business? Wrong.]
HN:
“In closing, I truly regret my acts of kindness and charity given
to Barbara Hartwell, who I feel is a terribly ungrateful soul.”
[BHP:
He's certainly entitled to his feelings, uncharitable as they are. But on that
issue, I will have to wait for a future report to describe the
treatment I received, and the unfortunate consequences to me, as a
result of believing the false statements made by Howard Nema, about
his so-called “kindness” and “charity”.
And
no, I am not “grateful” to those who mislead me, who lie to me, especially when
it results in disastrous circumstances.]
HN:
“Barbara, please leave me and my sites out of your reports in the
future. I will never mention your name again and I expect you to do
the same about me.”
[BHP:
Can he possibly be serious? My name is already plastered all over
Howard Nema's sites, in his infamous notice, “TRUSTED PARTNERS IN TRUTH”.
Which
he has now arrogantly stated that he REFUSES TO REMOVE.
And
he actually expects me to sit back and do nothing? To allow him to
perpetuate his fraud against Barbara Hartwell? It's already bad
enough that he has been making false statements about Barbara
Hartwell, and my background with CIA, in quite a large number of his
videos (in some of which there was a guest involved in the
discussion), where I was not present to correct him or stand up in my
own defense.
I
have done nothing whatsoever that is wrongful to Howard Nema. I have
never made so much as one false statement about him, or against him.
I
have only stood in my own defense to refute his falsehoods, to
protect my privacy, my personal boundaries, my fundamental rights,
and my good name, which he has defamed and shamelessly exploited.
And
as long as the name of Barbara Hartwell continues to be fraudulently
misrepresented and promoted in his “TRUSTED PARTNERS IN TRUTH” notice, I will
continue to demand that it be REMOVED, whatever it takes, for as long
as it takes. He can count on it.
In
summary, Howard Nema has shown himself to be entirely lacking in
integrity and honor.
A
person of integrity and honor would have never set out to
misrepresent another person with false and defamatory statements.
A
person of integrity and honor would not have tried to exploit the
name of a legitimate government whistleblower, for his own
self-serving ends, namely to ride on the coattails of the
whistleblower, to drop her name in places where it does not belong, simply to garner more publicity for himself.
A
person of integrity and honor, even had he made such a grievous error
out of his own ignorance and/or lack of discretion, would seek to
remedy his error, rather than arrogantly refusing even to acknowledge
that he had made an error.
A
person of integrity and honor would apologize for his disrespectful
and injurious actions. He would immediately take action to REMOVE the
false and defamatory material, not waiting for it to become a demand,
but upon the first request of the injured party.
A
person of integrity and honor would repent of his actions, rather
than expressing arrogance, and acting as if he had done nothing
wrongful. He would seek to make amends, rather than mounting a
further assault on the injured party with additional false and
defamatory statements.
Clearly,
Howard Nema is not a person of integrity and honor. Nor is he a
person who cares even slightly about “THE TRUTH”, of which he
boasts continually that he serves, in his program, TRUTH TALK NEWS,
and in his affiliation with Harry Link, where his show airs on 'Truth
Broadcast Network'.]
God
bless you.”
Howard
Nema, as far as I can see, has nothing to thank me for, except
possibly for standing up for the truth, should he ever finally decide
to put into practice what he loudly preaches about “THE TRUTH”.
And
why say “God bless you”? From my observations, in past
discussions with Howard Nema, it became clear to me that he does not
believe in God. In fact, quite to the contrary, he tried repeatedly
to foist upon me his belief in “positive thinking” and other New
Age, secular humanist gobbledygook such as “the Law of Attraction”. (Barf bag
alert!)
In
his foolish insistence on pushing such ideology on me (a devout Christian, as he was well aware), I was even told that my
“problems” were a result of “negative thinking”.
No, the
problems and circumstances to which he referred were caused by the
neutralization campaign waged against me by the U.S. Government and
the demonic characters in their employ.
No
amount of his silly “positive thinking” could ever change that.
But
then, Howard Nema has never been a Target of such a campaign, so what would
he know?
And
he is entitled to his beliefs, which I respect his right to
hold. But though I respect his rights, as I always will, I have lost
any respect I had for him as a person, and with very good reason.
He has discredited himself, and shown himself to be not a promoter of "truth", but rather an unrepentant liar.
By their fruits shall you know them.
But
be that as it may, my position remains firm, in defense of my own
rights:
I
DEMAND THAT HOWARD NEMA REMOVE MY NAME & WEBSITE FROM HIS
FRAUDULENT PROMOTIONS, including from his “TRUSTED PARTNERS IN
TRUTH”.
