Since
I first went public as a CIA whistleblower in 1995 and put my first
website online in 2000, I have not published a detailed curriculum
vitae on the Internet.
Over
the years, I have made references to some of the training, education,
issues and circumstances listed here, usually because they were
relevant to the subject matter covered in my reports.
Although
this C.V. is limited in scope, it does provide information which may
be of interest to my regular readers regarding my background and
range of interests, and which may help them to interpret my reports
with a greater depth of understanding.
Another
issue of great concern to me is that for over two decades I have been
the Target of a counterintelligence campaign by the U.S. Government
to neutralize me, to discredit my work, everything I stand for, and
ultimately, to silence me.
A
large part of this neutralization campaign involves defamation,
character assassination, disinformation and black propaganda. Most of
the 'information' found on the Internet in connection with the name
of Barbara Hartwell is blatantly false. The obvious exception is my
own website, Barbara Hartwell Vs. CIA.
My
name has also been grossly exploited and misrepresented by those
media whores and opportunists employing sensationalism for
self-serving ends. They have pilfered, poached and scavenged from the
information I have exposed, twisted it beyond recognition, engaged in
identity theft, forgery and plagiarism. It has been a nightmare.
There
is no way to stop these morally bankrupt vultures, I can only expose
them by name and refute their lies. The truth for the record is
important to me, and that is the main purpose of this website, to
create and preserve an integral archive of my work in one online
collection.
From
my observations and experience, as both a journalist and as the
subject of the 'journalism' (some professional, some not) of others,
for well over three decades, there is little difference between the
so-called “mainstream” media and what is now known as the
“alternative” media. They are both polluted by the government's
agenda of controlling the flow of information, disseminating
propaganda, and their containment operations. They also run
protection rackets (as criminal enterprises always do), so that
anyone who refuses to be subsumed into the government-sponsored
controlled opposition will be ostracized and blacklisted.
So,
although the perps of this campaign have not succeeded in silencing
me (not yet, anyway), they have certainly managed, using a number of
carefully crafted lies (and many variations thereof), to plant the
seeds of suspicion and to cast a pall of extreme negativity by
promoting outrageous falsehoods in connection with my name.
By
far the most prevalent falsehood is that I am a “CIA Disinfo
Agent”, a lie concocted long ago by the late FBI Chief/COINTELPRO
Kingpin Ted Gunderson, a former professional colleague and friend
turned adversary, who implemented the largest, most organized
campaign to discredit Barbara Hartwell. This, from a very real
“disinfo agent”, J. Edgar Hoover's protege' and right-hand man.
(See
reports on this site in which the legion of liars, shills and
government minions are exposed and their falsehoods refuted.)
Then,
there is the issue of privacy. Many people seem to falsely believe
that just because I (or any other individuals) have a public website,
because I have gone public by exposing information about my
professional background and my dealings with government entities,
that necessarily means every area of my life is an open book, for all
and sundry to peruse. Dead wrong. Anyone who invades my privacy will
find the consequences to be unpleasant, to say the least.
Again,
we come back to the agenda of the government. They are running
massive public indoctrination campaigns designed to inculcate the
populace into accepting a total lack of privacy. 'See Something, Say
Something' (Janet Napolitano). 'Total Information Awareness' (John
Poindexter)....and on and on it goes...
Witness
especially social media, where it seems everyone puts every last
minute detail of their personal business in the street. Surveillance
cameras everywhere; you can't even walk into a supermarket anymore
without your presence being recorded. The government wants you to
believe this is for your “security” or to ensure your “safety”.
No, no, make no mistake: the government is hell bent on snooping into
everyone's business, and any information they collect can be used
against you, or to control you, one way or another.
The
Internet itself is a hot bed of snoops and busybodies, all intent on
sticking their noses into everyone's business, with no respect
whatsoever for the privacy and personal boundaries of the individual.
A free-for-all, no holds barred, nothing is sacred. They not only
accept the lack of privacy, they embrace it! A culture comprised of
snoops, snitches and busybodies. And that's just the way the
government likes it.
People
were shocked by revelations of NSA domestic spying? And that really
comes as a surprise? Some of us have been reporting on unlawful
domestic surveillance programs for decades, protesting the
government's overreach and abuses of power. But lacking the large
audience of mainstream media, we were hard-pressed to get this
information out, we were dismissed as cranks, or “conspiracy
theorists”. But the truth is, we don't need “theories” when
dealing with conspiracy realities.
But
just because these appalling invasions of privacy have become
commonplace, even institutionalized, does this mean we must just sit
back and accept them? Hell, no!
Privacy
is a God-given unalienable right, and is also under constitutional
protection. I am a fierce defender of the right to privacy. I am not
running for public office (never have, never will); I am not employed
by any person or entity, such that the general public would have the
need to know, much less the right to know, information about my
private business.
What
I have chosen to divulge, or not to divulge, is strictly my own
business, and for my own reasons.
I
also must consider the privacy and personal boundaries of others,
especially my relatives, in-laws, friends, colleagues. I won't ever
use their names without their permission, nor compromise their
security, nor endanger their safety. Far too much damage has already
been done to some of these persons, only because of their association
and/or relation to me.
Here
is the amplified C.V. For the public record. Readers, as always, may
make of it what they will.
CIA
OPERATIONS
Now,
regarding CIA. There are many misunderstandings among the general
public regarding CIA operations. Much of what I have written, or
spoken about in my reports and broadcasts may not be common
knowledge, or may stretch credibility. People do not want to believe
that the government would be involved in such unconscionable
activities.
But
anyone who looks at more than two decades of my public reports may
see that the information is consistent. My documentation is based on
direct personal and professional experience.
I
was recruited into CIA Black Operations through a family bloodline,
going back to OSS. I am a third generation intelligence professional.
As
a child, I was brought into CIA MK Ultra program without my knowledge
or consent. I was trained and groomed in intelligence work, to be
officially utilized beginning at the age of eighteen (18). But my
training began in the home at the age of three (3). It was by “proxy
consent” until I reached adulthood. In those days (I was born in
1951), the “legal” age was 18, not 21.
The
training continued, some of which was through formal education, and
some through internal CIA programs. Many people believe that CIA
operations, and the ways agents are utilized are cut-and-dried and
always follow the same patterns and protocols. Nothing could be
further from the truth, especially where black ops are concerned.
MK
Ultra, in particular, has been the subject of tremendous
disinformation and misdirection, in attempts to obscure the true
nature of the operations. The “exposure” of MK Ultra by most of
those claiming to be “victims”, “survivors”, or “experts”,
is rife with sensationalism and lurid tales of satanism and sex
slaves.
In
truth, the original intent of MK Ultra was to “create the perfect
spy” during the Cold War era. Nazi war criminals from an operation
code named Paperclip, were instrumental in the design and
implementation of the operations. The CIA-Nazi collaborations began with OSS, the precursor to CIA.
There
were roughly 165 sub-projects of MK Ultra. One major sideshow being
promoted by government operatives/shills (as well as ignorant people
parroting the shills) is “Monarch”. Monarch was never a
sub-project of MK Ultra, never a CIA operation. And yet, try conducting a search for
information on MK Ultra. What you are likely to find is “Monarch”,
dominating and overshadowing everything else.
It
has never been my purpose in my work as a whistleblower to focus on
MK Ultra, in my reports or broadcasts. The CIA operations in which I
was involved throughout most of my adult life (18-43) were mostly in
the category of Psychological Operations. That is a very broad field,
involving many disciplines. People hear the phrase, “Psy Ops”,
and immediately think the meaning is limited to propaganda campaigns
and “false flag” operations. Not so. There are numerous and
divergent facets to Psy Ops in any government/military entity.
MK
Ultra was just one of the government operations of which I was a
victim (and since 1994, a survivor) though doubtless the worst. In my
opinion, stealing the lives of children, exploiting them for the
government's agenda, and engaging in psychiatric abuses and torture
is the ultimate evil.
And
once again, for the public record (how tiresome it gets...), at no
time was I involved in satanism, nor was I victim of sex abuse, nor
sex slavery. I am damn sick and tired of having to repeatedly correct
these stupid labels slapped on me by the liars desperate to cover
their crimes, and their minions, stooges and shills. I was trained as
an intelligence agent and utilized as such, under NOC. Case closed.
CIA
is described as “an independent federal agency”, under the
executive branch of government. But in reality, CIA often functions
as a rogue agency with little oversight. Just consider the many
scandalous and unlawful covert actions and operations – and these
are only the ones that come to light, by leaks to the press, by
whistleblowers, or by declassified documents, usually many years
after the fact. Then, they try to minimize the wrongdoing and crimes,
trying to justify them claiming “National Security”. There is NO
JUSTIFICATION, under any legitimate legal or moral standards.
Even
when certain operations are exposed, CIA will not acknowledge the
truth. For example, assassinations. Not only assassinations of
foreign nationals, but of U.S. Citizens. CIA, on their “official”
website states that they do not sanction or perform assassinations.
That is a bald faced lie. Aside from the CIA-sponsored murders which
have been exposed and are common knowledge, I have personal knowledge
of numerous assassinations, some of which have taken the lives of my
friends, family and colleagues. Some are falsely promoted as
“accidents”, death by “natural causes”, or the CIA favorite,
“suicide”.
As
long as they can maintain “plausible deniability”, they can (and
do) get away with most anything they want, including murder. I've yet
to see any real accountability as far as these criminals are
concerned, and don't expect I ever will.
Then,
there is torture. They call it “enhanced interrogation”. They
think they can hide behind their euphemisms. Under moral absolutes,
there is NO EXCUSE.
But,
in all my activism (including as a journalist and whistleblower), my
primary purpose is to defend Liberty and pursue Justice. To expose
criminals and evildoers and put them out of business. To stand up for
the God-given unalienable rights of ALL.
Another
misunderstanding which is prevalent is that because a person (in this
case, me) was involved in CIA operations, that was the end-all and
be-all of their existence.
That
is not true. I've known many people who were employed by CIA (in
various capacities), who were utilized in their operations, who also
worked in professions which did not necessarily involve intelligence
work.
Sometimes
the “outside jobs” were a cover, sometimes they were connected to
the operations, in one way or another. But that does not make these
careers, activities or interests any less 'real' or legitimate.
Here,
I have listed some of my formal education and professional pursuits.
This list is not comprehensive, and for reasons of privacy and
security (mine and/or that of others) I have by necessity omitted
certain information.
It
should also be noted that what is given here relates to the past, not
necessarily the present. I am no longer involved, for the most part,
in these activities, though some are interests and pursuits which have remained
with me.
Some
were related to CIA operations, others not. But for those with eyes
to see, this C.V. might provide insights and enhance understanding of my work, at least that is my hope.
