PREFACE
I've decided to start a new series on this site, covering material from older reports, as well as for the purpose of documenting some related events which I have not made public. The problem is, these old reports are buried in the archives of this site, and the information contained therein rarely sees the light of day.
Not that this is necessarily important to anyone but me, but this matters to me because I have always cared a great deal about “stating the truth for the record”. That's an old legal concept, and one behind the publishing of an affidavit.
I want to know that I have published information on my site, and that it will be there (hopefully in perpetuity) for anyone who wishes to view it. They may make of it what they will. They may decide that it is legitimate and credible – or not. They may believe it – or not. They may decide that it has value – or not. They may “like” it –or not. None of that is of concern to me.
The fact is, I don't really know who reads my site. I don't have a public e-mail address, only a postal mailing address and don't solicit comments from the public. I know only what is reported in the stats for this site, which tells me that most of my readers are overseas, fewer in the U.S.
But what ever the case may be, the information is there, it is authorized by me and it constitutes my public documentation of the truth, the facts, the evidence (where possible), and including my viewpoints, my opinions, editorial content, with my assurance of good faith, in honesty and integrity.
As I have stated many times, especially in NOTICES on this site, the material published on this site is FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. The readers are free to make of it what they will. They can take it or leave it, and that is where it ends, at least for me.
I have no interest in discussing my reports with anyone from the general public, or getting into arguments or debates. For anyone who has questions, they will either find the answers in my reports, or they won't.
I am completely independent in my work. I am not beholden to anyone, not employed by any person or entity, and receive no compensation. My work has not been sold to any outlet. If anyone wants to use excerpts from my reports, or the entire report, that is fine with me, as long as they provide the proper links and accreditation.
I believe in freedom of speech. I can't stop anyone from commenting on my work, nor have ever tried. But I don't invite their comments, nor do I provide a platform for their opinions. In cases where I find defamatory content, I simply refute it, where possible. Most of it, I know I have not even seen, and so it will be ignored.
But enough of all that. It needed to be said, as I think you will see, as I get into the subject matter of this, the first in my new series on government spooks and goons I have known.
SOME RELEVANT HISTORY
I recently published a report exposing some history involving the late FBI Chief, COINTELPRO Kingpin, Ted L. Gunderson and his crony/apologist, Alex Jones.
FBI COINTELPRO KINGPIN TED GUNDERSON & ALEX (MOCKINGBIRD) JONES: A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
https://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2026/04/fbi-cointelpro-kingpin-ted-gunderson.html
Most of the material used in that was taken from much older reports, decades ago. One of these was a very lengthy report (2005), an open letter from me to Ted Gunderson, basically a response to a public letter Ted wrote to me, published by his primary PR shill, Ken Adachi, an odious liar-for-hire who ran a large, commercial New Age/Government Disinfo website called 'Educate Yourself' (more accurately known as Indocrinate Yourself).
This lowlife character, Adachi, probably did more damage to my good name than any of his loathsome ilk, before or since. I was accused of every dastardly deed imaginable, accompanied by vicious name-calling (CIA Disinfo Agent; CEO of Liars, Inc.; The Crimson Viper; The Merchant of Venom;...and on and on in this vein...)
Adachi also solicited defamatory content from the many detractors of Barbara Hartwell, mostly consisting of current and former government agents and their shills, lackeys, toadies and sycophants.
Adachi, as far as I know, is now deceased (as are many of his accomplices in the defamation campaign against Barbara Hartwell), but his website is still online, promoting the large archive of outrageous defamatory lies against Barbara Hartwell.
Over all these years, since I first went public with my case as a CIA Black Ops survivor, as a whistleblower and advocacy journalist, I have documented a series of events, exposing crimes and corruption of government agencies (mostly CIA & FBI), their operatives, and their stooges and hirelings.
My reports have always been based on facts, furnishing evidence where possible. And I have always named the names of the perpetrators, at least those known to me.
Here is just one section of my Open Letter to Ted Gunderson, addressing the issue of the late senator and CIA/special forces operative, John DeCamp.
For those who don't know the story, this was the primary issue which got me booted off the Floyd Report on GCN, by Alex Jones and the CEO of Genesis, Michael Trudeau: I exposed John DeCamp as a child sex predator, as well as Ted Gunderson's involvement in the coverup.
As for this issue, because it is still so prominent in the public eye, my purpose is to set the record straight. Most of the people who have covered this issue, regarding The Franklin Coverup, have no idea what the hell they are talking about. They were not there, they have no facts at their disposal. They never knew the principals, Gunderson, DeCamp and their cronies. They are just scavengers and opportunists, parroting the same old stories of those running the coverup, even though they are long gone. Some of these ambitious amateurs were not even born yet at the time of the events. And of course, these idiots are getting the clicks and raking in the cash. I never made a penny off my work, exposing these criminals. No, it cost me almost everything I owned, and almost cost me my life. For the record.
The Franklin Coverup was in fact a double coverup. Because, the man widely hailed as the “hero” of the story, John DeCamp, was in fact one of the perpetrators in the conspiracy, a vile rapist of children.
The following excerpt explains much of what actually happened, but I will leave it to a future report to go into more detail, which I have in my evidence files.
Lastly, John DeCamp threatened to sue me. In 2005 (2 years after the Alex Jones debacle), DeCamp launched a media rampage on many popular talk shows (radio and video) against Barbara Hartwell. It was all bluster and bullying, attempts at intimidation. Nobody has ever intimidated me, I would die first. I have zero tolerance for anyone who would harm a child, or for that matter, an innocent animal. Predators beware!
I mostly ignored DeCamp, as I knew he would not dare to sue me, as he had no idea what evidence I had against him. And no, he never did sue me, just as I predicted.
JOHN DECAMP
So for now, here is the excerpt from the old open letter to Ted Gunderson.
This should fill in at least some of the blanks about why this issue was so hot, and why I became the target of such a media firestorm, including threats on my life.
OPEN LETTER TO EX-FBI AGENT TED GUNDERSON
https://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2006/11/open-letter-to-ex-fbi-agent-ted.html
EXCERPT
A PANDORA'S BOX: JIM KEITH, MK ULTRA & JOHN DECAMP
But now we come to the real Pandora's Box: the part about John DeCamp being a child molester. I am going to tell the truth now, just as I have done before. Not only will I tell the truth, but I will provide a much more detailed explanation and I will outline some things which upon information and belief, are connected to this issue.
As I mentioned earlier, what made me suspicious of DeCamp to begin with started in August 1999, when Mike Levine invited me to be a guest on his radio program, The Expert Witness Show, on WBAI in New York City. Not only was I invited as a guest, but Levine asked me to co-produce a series of programs on CIA mind control and MK Ultra. He asked me to help for two reasons (or so he said at the time): One was that he knew I had a background in radio going back to the 1970s (I was on WBAI many times in the 70s and 80s). I also produced and hosted several radio programs of my own on WGCH while living in Greenwich, CT, between 1987-1991. The second reason Mike asked me to help him was that he said he did not know anyone and had no connections/contacts with the CIA mind control issue. So he asked me to help him line up the guests.
Now, here's an interesting twist: I had asked Mike Ruppert to be a guest on the program, knowing he had done his own investigations on some (CIA) related issues. Mike Levine claimed that Ruppert was "not credible". I disagreed, certainly knowing far more about the subject at hand (CIA mind control operations) which Levine admitted he knew virtually nothing about. I stood up for Mike Ruppert, but Levine stubbornly stuck to his claim of Ruppert's "lack of credibility". When I asked for evidence to substantiate his claims, Levine offered none. I am not in contact with either Mike Levine or Mike Ruppert and haven't been for years. I don't know if they have resolved their differences.
MIKE LEVINE: FORMER DEA AGENT, HOST OF THE EXPERT WITNESS SHOW
But I do know that some time later, you, Ted, named Mike Ruppert as part of a "smear campaign" against you, in your Response to Barbara Hartwell, published by Educate Yourself. Mike Ruppert never smeared you, he only told you off after he found his name listed in your report. And Ken Adachi continues his own smear campaigns against Mike Ruppert to this day. For this reason, I can only assume that Mike Ruppert knows the truth about some things that are very incriminating on you, Ted Gunderson. Why else would Adachi be attacking him?
As you know (if you remember?) I asked you to be a guest on The Expert Witness Show with me, along with Susan Ford. I was the only person to go into the studio for the interviews, since I lived in New York State, about 90 minutes from the city. Jim Keith was also lined up to be a guest on that day. But Jim never called and we could not reach him from the studio. (Jim died a month later, under suspicious circumstances, in September 1999.)
When we could not reach Jim Keith (we never found out why and never heard from him again) you suggested that John DeCamp (not a scheduled guest for the program) replace Jim Keith for that particular show. That is when I heard DeCamp defending Henry Kissinger, after Sue Ford named Kissinger as one of the perps in CIA mind control operations.
In fact, I first found out about Jim Keith's death from Mike Levine. He called me in September 1999 and told me about it. He asked if I could find out any further information through my sources and I said I would try. Mike Levine seemed very disturbed about Jim's death; also again suspicious about why it was that he had never called, as promised, and that we could not reach him the day of the taping, one month before. Levine told me that Jim had made a solid commitment to do the show; how he was looking forward to being on with Barbara Hartwell, talking about CIA mind control. It is my belief, based on my own investigations, that Jim Keith was getting too close to something very incriminating in his research. Many people will agree that Jim Keith was a crack investigator and that he had exposed certain operations which were previously well-covered up. Was the Franklin case among those operations? Maybe I will never know for sure, but then again, maybe I will.
But one thing was clear to me: Someone did not want Jim Keith on that radio show, not with me anyway.
THE LATE JOURNALIST JIM KEITH
JOHN DECAMP AND THE FRANKLIN CASE
But back to John DeCamp. As I stated in my letter to Noreen Gosch; as I have stated elsewhere, in print, in public reports and on radio, you, Ted Gunderson, certainly did admit to me that DeCamp was a pedophile and had been involved in sexual abuse of children. You deny this; you claim it is "ludicrous" for me to say this. And you then say I'm setting myself up for a lawsuit. So go ahead, sue me. If you'd like to risk perjuring yourself in a court of law, perhaps then evidence will surface, at least in regard to DeCamp himself. If you wonder if I know about such evidence, the answer is yes, I do. But I'm not the only one who knows and furthermore, it is not in my possession. (I'd really rather not have a SWAT team or other unsavory people invading my home.)
Now, let me explain something else, about how I first found out about DeCamp's involvement in the Franklin case. I've only told a few people and I don't care who believes me or who doesn't. In September 1999, after I heard of Jim Keith's untimely and suspicious death, I was very disturbed about it. Very, very disturbed. Especially after the radio interviews on MK Ultra. I was also disturbed that John DeCamp had been a champion of Henry Kissinger on the Expert Witness Show. Even Sue Ford was upset about that, as she told both of us.
(Perhaps both you and Sue will deny that too? Just like Sue later denied that she knew Don Stacey was a "Fed"? That is, after she admitted to me she knew this in August, 1999, after I warned her about him. Will there be no end to the lies and denial?)
So one night, I was saying my prayers. I asked God to reveal the truth to me about John DeCamp. The Holy Spirit would not answer me, but instead told me to go downstairs to my bookshelf and look at the picture of John DeCamp on the back of his book, The Franklin Coverup, the one you had given me.
When I looked at the photo of DeCamp (which I had never noticed before, as I had not read the book yet) the truth was revealed to me, just as the Holy Spirit said it would be. In case you doubt my capabilities in the spiritual realm, you may want to recall (if you can) that one of the ways I was utilized by CIA, as well as many law enforcement agencies, DA's offices, etc. was for my gifts of the spirit, specifically, for lack of a better term, clairvoyance. Many murder cases were solved and missing persons located, over a period of more than two decades, in which my talents as an investigator, an intelligence analyst (as well as a clairvoyant) were instrumental.
Two months later, at your son Michael's home in New Jersey, I asked to speak to you privately, as there were other people present, including your son, your daughter-in-law, Sue, her father and my bodyguard, Mario. You and I went out on the veranda to have a private conversation. I told you then that I KNEW about John DeCamp being involved in sexual abuse of children.
I did not reveal my source, only assured you that the source was absolutely trustworthy (can't get more trustworthy than the Holy Spirit) and I asked you to corroborate the truth, if you knew it. At that point, since you knew that I was in possession of this knowledge, you admitted to me that you also knew about it and that it was true. You also tried to make excuses for DeCamp, claiming that he had still "done a lot of good" for the children. Not by my way of thinking, as I told you then. As God is my witness, this is the truth. If you file a lawsuit against me, will you perjure yourself, in a court of law?
********************
That's all I have, for now. I know from experience that my reports are too long for most people to read in one sitting. That is why I've decided to break up these sections into separate reports. I hope this report has shed some light on events of the past, for those who might have been seeking clarity.
I plan to continue this series, as time permits and God willing.
