Here,
a classic morality tale, an examination of the rights of the
Individual versus the Mob Rule mentality.
I
do not solicit comments from the public on my website. I do not
offer a forum for all and sundry to express their views, voice their
complaints, make requests, ask questions, or engage with the editor
(Barbara Hartwell) in discussions, arguments, debates, nor do I wish
to entertain defamatory remarks aimed at me or others whose work is
published on my site.
As
I have clearly stated in public notices, my site is FOR INFORMATION
PURPOSES ONLY. The readers may make of my reports (and all other
content) what they will.
Barbara
Hartwell Vs CIA is an archive of my work, not a news site, not an
interactive venue, nor an open platform for the general public.
A
very simple concept, and solely my prerogative and my policy, as an
independent journalist. Period. Case closed.
And
yet, evidently, a concept so unfathomable, so very difficult to
understand, for so many people.
The
culture of the Internet, especially social media, run by tech giants
(and their cronies in FBI, CIA, NSA et al) is, in my view,
communistic. Just as entities such as Facebook were actually designed
by government agencies for surveillance and data extraction, where
the privacy and personal boundaries of the individual are grossly
disrespected. And usually by their own consent, people have
sacrificed their privacy and their integrity on the altar of the
ephemeral approval of The Mob (hit counts, ratings, “likes”,
“friends”, thumbs up), where the indoctrinated majority rules,
and the individual, the independent thinker, is relegated to a lone
voice, crying from the wilderness.
This
pathological culture of the Internet is a hotbed of
curiosity-seekers, busybodies, gossips, scandalmongers, mountebanks
and salesmen. The worst sort of Mob Rule. And I want no part of that
culture.
I
should make it clear that I do not criticize anyone simply for using
social media. Most people do, and for a variety of reasons. That is
their choice, their business, and none of mine.
The
fact that I do not seek interaction with strangers on the Internet,
that I do not participate in any form of social media, actually seems
to boggle the minds of so many denizens of the Internet. And that is
their problem, not mine.
But
it gets worse. Not only does The Mob lack understanding of the right
of the Individual to decline to participate in their culture. They
clearly believe that they have the “right” to force the
ideologies, the protocols, the trends, the tactics of their culture
on others. They become gate-crashers, invaders, intruders,
aggressors. The Mob.
On
September 8, I recorded a podcast with Ramola D, PART 8 of a series
covering a variety of subjects. I had discussed with Ramola
beforehand the issues related to what is given above. And I requested
that she shut down the comments section on the You Tube channel, just
for the podcasts of my interviews. She understood, she readily
agreed, and honored my request.
Ramola
posted the podcast on You Tube, disabling the comments section.
So,
what happened next? Did the viewers respect Ramola's right to
determine the format and the content of her own program? Hell, no!
Since
they were not able to post comments on the interview of Barbara
Hartwell, a number of these aggressive busybodies found a different
recent podcast of Ramola's, with another guest, and rudely exploited
it to post their comments about Barbara Hartwell (also defaming
Ramola), in a place where they were totally irrelevant, and which had
absolutely nothing to do with the guest, or the subject matter.
Ramola
was outraged, as well she should be, and deleted the irrelevant and
defamatory comments. But she did send one such comment to me, just to
inform me of what was happening.
And
so, I have chosen to present this very typical example of one such
aggressor, naturally, an anonymous, nameless coward, hiding behind
more than one silly screen name, to post her malicious trash. A
card-carrying-member-in-good-standing of The Mob.
The
comment is given here in its entirety, exactly as posted.
"Ramola
I was forced to comment under this video because you have disabled
the comment section on your subsequent video with Barbara Hartwell.
You have not learned your lesson about decency and companionship with
regards to your previous decision and comportment towards Dr.
Katherine Horton. It's ok to make mistakes it was not premeditated
most of us are not perfect and we error but the point is to reflect
back on those mistakes, take points try to mend them mitigate them
and ultimately eliminate them primarily for YOURSELF. You have failed
to do this because you still suspect that Dr. Katherine Horton is an
agent who was bent on sabotaging you, which tries to smack any person
with a brain cell off his or her common sense. Furthermore, Dr.
Katherine Horton proved to be of a much higher caliber than Barbara
Hartwell for the simple reason that she (Horton) still kept her
dignity and integrity INSPITE of the highly criminal targeting
perpetrated against her. She (Horton) does not defile and throw mud
at other targeted individuals the way Hartwell did or YOU still do;
infact, after this whole ordeal nowhere does she (Horton) even
mention your name let alone Hartwell's and on the face of it it seems
like Hartwell did this in the vain hope that her targeting would
subside but upon closer inspection, it also became more and more
clear that microwave attacks have clearly cooked her brain from
within, I mean just listen to her speech, she slurs and stutters
cannot even complete a sentence or form a coherent thought, she even
talks about her affinity to cats and cat lovers in the only airtime
afforded to her in months! Frankly, with a subject as important as
this, one would expect on air a sense of humor to be limited if not
entirely to the ugly nature of perpetrators and their targeting
methods; but for some even this stretch of humor does not do justice
to the victims of some of the serious crimes committed by
perpetrators, as Hartwell should well know."
Where
to begin in addressing this presumptuous fool? Except to say, How dare you!
Ramola
and I agreed that this aggressor is most likely a woman, based on
what Ramola has seen in the comments section of her podcasts, and on
my analysis. So, I will refer to “her” as “she”.
First
of all, she claims that she was “forced” to post her comment on
another podcast, since Ramola disabled the comments section on the
podcast with Barbara Hartwell.
Forced
how? By whom? Did a masked man accost her and hold a gun to her head?
Did
it ever occur to her that the comments section was disabled for a
reason? That her comments were clearly not invited, and not welcome?
No,
she displays an absolute disregard and disrespect for the right of a
talk show host to make her own decisions, for her own reasons. So,
she decided to “force” her way in, to crash the gates like a
two-ton bulldozer. If she wants to talk about “force” she needs
to look closer to home.
"You
have not learned your lesson about decency and companionship with
regards to your previous decision and comportment towards Dr.
Katherine Horton. It's ok to make mistakes it was not premeditated
most of us are not perfect and we error but the point is to reflect
back on those mistakes, take points try to mend them mitigate them
and ultimately eliminate them primarily for YOURSELF."
Has
Ramola asked for her opinion? No. Has she solicited the advice of
this truculent busybody? Absolutely not.
Ramola
has made her position regarding Katherine Horton perfectly clear, in
a number of podcasts, and written reports. She has published videos
and articles by others (including Barbara Hartwell), addressing
related issues. She has exercised her free speech, which she has
every right to do, as a journalist and as an activist for human
rights.
She
has taken a stand on principle, based on her OWN values. Not on the
consensus of a gaggle of ignorant busybodies.
So,
if this nameless busybody is so hell bent on forcing her unsolicited
opinions on others, and on micromanaging the affairs of others, she
could easily find any number of venues where her aggression and
idiocy would be embraced by like-minded mobsters.
"Furthermore,
Dr. Katherine Horton proved to be of a much higher caliber than
Barbara Hartwell for the simple reason that she (Horton) still kept
her dignity and integrity INSPITE of the highly criminal targeting
perpetrated against her. She (Horton) does not defile and throw mud
at other targeted individuals the way Hartwell did or YOU still do;
infact, after this whole ordeal nowhere does she (Horton) even
mention your name let alone Hartwell's...."
The
one thing that is very clear is that this nameless coward is a
fanatical supporter of Katherine Horton. And since she does not know
Barbara Hartwell, she can only fabricate defamatory remarks which
have no basis in fact.
Fact:
I do not know Katherine Horton. Anything I have said, in writing, or
on video with Ramola, was based on my independent observations and
analysis of a very PUBLIC issue, that being the words and actions of
Horton, in calling for unlawful violence, even murder, of public
figures, while ranting, dropping F-bombs.
My
analysis of this behavior included what I deemed a sort of
“theatrical production”. A woman hunkering down in what she
described as a “bunker”, crawling under a desk, surrounded by tin
foil walls, while advocating “bullets in brains”.
No, I see no
“dignity”, nor “integrity” in this behavior. What I do see is
that those associated with Horton will be tarred with the same brush
of lawlessness, thus not in any way helping their cause, or serving
the cause of justice.
As
for her claim: "...defile
and throw mud at other targeted individuals the way Hartwell did or
YOU still do..."
For
the record: I am not a part of any groups, organizations or any "movements" of
so-called “targeted individuals”. I do not give special consideration to anyone, simply because they make such a claim. My
reports are based on my own research and investigations, again, of
very PUBLIC issues. If others choose to characterize my reports as
“defiling” or “throwing mud”, so be it.
"...and
on the face of it it seems like Hartwell did this in the vain hope
that her targeting would subside but upon closer inspection, it also
became more and more clear that microwave attacks have clearly cooked
her brain from within, I mean just listen to her speech, she slurs
and stutters cannot even complete a sentence or form a coherent
thought..."
This
is pure malice and idiocy, just more rank speculation with no basis
in fact. If my brain had been “cooked from within”, as claimed,
how then would I be able to “complete a sentence” or “form a
cohesive thought” in my written reports, such as this?
"...she
even talks about her affinity to cats and cat lovers in the only
airtime afforded to her in months! Frankly, with a subject as
important as this, one would expect on air a sense of humor to be
limited if not entirely to the ugly nature of perpetrators and their
targeting methods; but for some even this stretch of humor does not
do justice to the victims of some of the serious crimes committed by
perpetrators, as Hartwell should well know."
Now,
she drags in the cats! So what? I am free to speak about anything I
choose, and it is none of her damnable business!
And
this:
"...the
only airtime afforded to her in months!"
Where
the hell did this stupid remark come from? How could she possibly
claim to know what “airtime” is available to me? Just because I
did not resume my series of podcasts with Ramola for a couple months
does not mean that no “airtime” is available to me. I could just
pick up the phone and schedule a program with any number of hosts
whenever I choose.
In
closing, I can only say that this malicious, presumptuous, aggressive
busybody would be well advised to cease and desist from harassing and
defaming legitimate people whom she does not know.
What
is your name, fool? Stand up and tell us your name, instead of hiding and cowering
in the shadows, while spewing your ludicrous trash and your spite!
Be
gone! Go back to the devil, to the pit of Hell whence you emerged.
The
Mob awaits your return.

PS:
I have invited Ramola to add her comments, and will add them to this
report upon receiving them.
ADDENDUM FROM RAMOLA D
ADDENDUM FROM RAMOLA D
Frankly
when I see preachy and malicious comments like this one, I think
immediately of what it is attempting to do: direct invective, malice,
deprecation, denigration, skepticism, and hostility at myself, my
guest, my podcast, which then leads me to think: what is this
person's motive in posting or attempting to post such a virulent
fount of hate at us?
And
the answer to that lies I am afraid in the very nature of the podcast
and conversation Barbara and I had in Report #82: a candid
conversation on the supreme sabotage and censorship endured by her
and by Geral Sosbee, both vitally important CIA and FBI
whistleblowers, who are helping inform this nation on the nature and
extent of the deception, secrecy, control and illegitimate and
weaponized surveillance, harassment, and censorship exercised on all
Americans today by such arbiters of the “Deep State” as the very
untrustworthy and seriously-problematic CIA and FBI, and their
nesting-house, the highly questionable Justice Department.
Which
does beg the question: is this anonymous commenter, who named herself
“ther pas” in one comment and “frontex orbex” or some such in
another (a replay of this very comment, I think, which I deleted),
merely a paid cybertroll for the Deep State, keen to slander and
revile Barbara, who is an outspoken journalist and CIA whistleblower?
The
absolute horror of the slur this commenter has directed at Barbara
Hartwell—who has previously spoken openly on our podcast series
about the serious and longstanding medical issues which she contends
with, which affect her speech, breathing, and ability to speak, to
the extent that her every conversation is an effort and a gift to us
who listen—point to the petty malice and extreme insensitivity of
this person. This aspect of her comment indeed completely blows my
mind, that someone could be so extremely malicious, launching such a
profound personal attack.
I
am also more than astonished at the castigatory, reprimanding tone of
this missive as aimed at me in reference to my remarks on Katherine
Horton. Such invective does indeed again give me pause to ponder: who
is this person, and why is she seeking to defend Katherine Horton to
such extent as to strive to bury me in the process? Dr. Katherine
Horton and I have both become public figures at this point, to
whatever extent we are known. As a public figure who has engaged with
another public figure and is speaking openly—as I have been on my
podcasts, website and on this podcast—about my extensive
interactions and opinions about her, I am not exactly sitting around
(and especially not post my explanatoy Backstory statement and video)
and waiting breathlessly for responses from anyone about what I say,
write, or publish.
As
I stated openly in my conversation with Barbara, I aim to continue my
investigation and complete my publication of aspects of Katherine
Horton's interaction with me and with others, for very solid reasons
I have alluded to earlier, which I will lay out once more, when I
publish my reports. Comments such as this one suggest to me that out
there, in certain circles, there is quite some level of anxiety about
these intentions of mine. Why should there be, if the interest is
neutral and/or appreciative of truth-finding and telling?
The
judgemental tone and preachy and confused attempt at “analysis”
here, which wanders into irrelevant territory, comparing Katherine
Horton to Barbara Hartwell and denigrating Barbara and myself—in
itself revelatory to me about which camp this commenter may hail
from—all seem to intend a chastising squelching of my spirit and
intent; I hate to break it to this person but such outrageous
invective has only one effect on me, inviting me to “discount and
dismiss” immediately every single word of blather she has posted.
One
more thought: given the AI-run, bot-created, hypergame-playing,
echo-running, data-grabbing, loon-filled world we currently all
inhabit online, where neural-network mapping and echo-stalking goes
on all around us, as hinted at by Executive Orders which permit Psy
Ops and Project Minerva programs which practice social engineering
and social manipulation, it is entirely possible this comment is yet
one more blip in a Virtual-Reality construct and guess what: that's
one more reason to ignore it.
Salutary
though to examine the lunacy behind such comments, and to state
openly and publicly for the record that yes, given the level of
trolling my videos and articles are suddenly invoking online—and
given that the Pentagon and the CIA are currently spending millions
of dollars cyber-trolling and engaging in other unlawful
cyber-warfare against Americans who question their bad behavior --I
have no qualms whatseover in hitting the Delete button on Youtube
when I see a malicious comment. If people feel their freedom of
speech is being interfered with, I suggest they open their own
websites, video channels, Twitter feeds or whatever else and express
themselves openly there. I reserve the right on my own websites and
video channels to withhold or delete any and all malicious and
hostile comments.
