I
do not use social media, on principle. Never have done, never will
do. Facebook and Twitter are government surveillance devices, data
extraction operations.
Social
media is a hotbed of snoops, snitches, gossips and busybodies; a
free-for-all where anything goes, and where the most aggressive and
ambitious for worldly acclaim, the approval-seekers and people
pleasers, vie for supremacy and jockey for position, each for their
chosen agenda.
There
is no respect whatsoever for the privacy and personal boundaries of
individuals. It is a vast echo chamber, where the users parrot and
repeat, ad infinitum, ad nauseam, the posts of their chosen “friends”
and “followers”.
Competing
for “likes” (approval) is the name of the game. To the ones with
the greatest “social credit” scores go the spoils of
ego-aggrandizement and material gain. And so the propaganda spreads,
the fear-mongering, the crackpot conspiracy theories, the
sensationalist falsehoods.
Ultimately, the result is the indoctrination of those
foolish enough not only to believe anything they read, but to
regurgitate it like robots, passing on the smears against legitimate
people in a veritable carpet-bombing campaign.
But
as those of us whose names have been destroyed by social media
gossips can attest, the damages are very real.
Speaking
strictly for myself, as someone who cannot even directly access most
of the outrageous lies posted about me, because I refuse to “sign
up”, “sign in”, “follow”, refuse to be drawn in as a
participant in this toxic system, I can guarantee, most of it I have
never even seen. Even if I had, it would literally be a full time job to counter it,
a pursuit for which I have neither the time nor inclination.
I
only occasionally learn of the defamation against me by friends and
colleagues, those who do have access.
Which
is how I was informed of some of the latest defamatory remarks by
Karen Stewart, who, for no reason I can clearly ascertain, has
decided to make some very public false accusations against me, now
including the same tired old lie which has been promoted by hordes of
government stooges and toadies for decades: that Barbara Hartwell is
CIA.
Here
is a post on Facebook, by Karen Stewart, under a category she titles
“PERPS and Nutcases”.
PERPS
and Nutcases
"I
noted Ramola also emailing me and others in what I call her wolf pack
on-call, e-mails from Barbara Hartwell, who is CIA (handler?) showing
screen shots of my tweets which Barbara had taken and from Ramola
showing screenshots she had taken as indications “they were
watching me” though the inocuous tweets chosen were ludicrous to be
alarmed about. But it did indicate a Weinstein-like snitch network in
place to try to intimidate with them making a point to SHOW me THEY
were WATCHING ME. Ramola even sent me and the sycophants a tweet...."
So,
according to Karen Stewart, I am designated as either a “PERP”,
or a “Nutcase”. Possibly both. Nothing new here...just a
parroting of black propaganda against a legitimate government
whistleblower.
In
past defamatory comments, Karen Stewart has claimed that I took a
bribe from my friend and colleague, Ramola D, for the purpose of
“attacking” or “libeling” her.
I
have refuted that false accusation (and others) in a few reports.
(See links below)
Now,
she has ramped up her attacks and claims I am CIA. So, if that were
the case, why would I need a bribe from an independent journalist who
has no connections to CIA?
I
have news for Karen Stewart, and anyone who buys into her outrageous
lies: I've been out of CIA for more than 26 years. There is no
payroll, no gravy train, no benefits.
I've
been a Target of a brutal neutralization campaign by CIA, for more
than a quarter century, which I've had to face alone, with never
anyone I could rely on for support.
I
was recruited, without my knowledge or consent, into CIA
operations, the “family business”, in early childhood. I, and I
alone, chose to fight my way out, through my own blood, sweat and
tears, and was successful only by the grace of God.
I
am nobody's snitch, nobody's sycophant, nobody's proxy, and more to
the point, nobody's fool.
I
first heard of Karen Stewart in 2016, when I found some radio
interviews on the Internet. At that time, I believed her to be
legitimate, as a government whistleblower.
I
don't know her personally. I had never said a word against her, not
until she took it upon herself to make defamatory comments in an
obvious attempt to discredit me. And then, I only spoke up in my own
defense. I have not called her any names, nor made any accusations.
I
can't say for certain why she is doing this, and I refuse to
speculate. I deal only in facts, backed by evidence.
The
evidence is clear, as presented in the published words of Karen
Stewart, which I have documented in several reports.
Of
course, I am outraged. But I probably should not be surprised. For
the record, I no longer consider Karen Stewart to be legitimate. I have lost all respect for her. No
genuine whistleblower, no person with any concern for Truth, in
exposing government corruption, no person of integrity, would attempt
to discredit others, using false accusations and absurd fabrications,
as she has done.
Lastly,
for an “intelligence analyst”, and a self-proclaimed “Christian”,
if she truly believes the falsehoods she is promoting, she has shown
herself to be sorely lacking in discretion, in spiritual and
intellectual discernment.
Otherwise,
she is simply a malicious liar with an agenda.
I
don't know which, and no longer care.
By
their fruits shall you know them.
