Barbara Hartwell: CIA/ FBI Plant?

Here is a letter which arrived by post and I'll take this opportunity to answer it, especially since it addresses a particularly important issue: targeting whistleblowers and patriots for libel campaigns.

 

To protect the writer's privacy, I'll identitfy him only by an initial, S.

 

"Dear Barbara,

 

I found your website while looking for some other research. I am inquiring if you might have a DVD testimonial shot live?

 

If so where can I get it and how much is it.

 

I see on the comments about you are very negative -most feel you are a CIA or FBI plant.

 

Being in the Patriot movement over 20 years I've found out if you have a lot of critics, you're probably on the right track.

 

Awaiting To Hear From You,

 

S."

 

Dear S,

 

Thank you for your letter. I see that it was mailed in September, but due to the mail being forwarded, I only received it last week.

 

No, I don't have any DVDs for sale. Mostly, I stick to writing reports, although I occasionally do a radio program, and if you're interested, you may find several of my broadcasts posted on my website.

 

Unfortunately, the only video I know of which contains any of my testimony  does not accurately  represent me, but has been posted on various Internet  sites by my enemies, along with malicious lies ("Barbara Hartwell, CIA plant", etc.) for the purpose of attempting to discredit me.

 

This particular video was made in 1998, at a conference in Daytona Beach, Florida. This was a bootleg copy of an interview taped for Chicago Health Televsion, which followed a seminar called Insider Secrets of Government Corruption, presented by four of the speakers at the conference, namely myself, former CIA agent Chip Tatum, former FBI chief Ted Gunderson, and Sue Ford aka Brice Taylor, a woman claiming to have been a "sex slave" to politicians in connection with the so-called "Monarch project". (Which, by the way, was never a CIA operation, nor a sub-project of MK Ultra, but a smokescreen used in attempts to obfuscate the truth being exposed by survivors of the real black operations.)

 

At the time, I was still working with Ted Gunderson and had not yet gone public exposing what I later learned: that Gunderson was still involved in counterintelligence operations, specifically targeting former intelligence agents/whistleblowers (including myself) for containment operations; disseminating disinformation, and running massive cover-ups of the very crimes he claims to be investigating and exposing.

 

This interview was simultaneously taped by one of Ted Gunderson's lackeys, Jon Gentry, and later incorporated into a video called Mind Control Goes Public, by Susan Ford. She and Gunderson raked in the cash, selling the pirated video through various venues, complete with copyright violations --as the only release I (or Chip Tatum) ever signed was from Chicago Health Television. They never aired the interview because the content was deemed too incendiary by the station, who received some kind of "friendly warnings" (read: threats) by the government.

 

And speaking of being a "CIA/FBI plant", yes, that seems to be the primary libelous falsehood disseminated in the smear campaign against Barbara Hartwell. Ted Gunderson, my former friend and professional colleague, has had this to say about Barbara Hartwell:

 

"Once a CIA agent, always a CIA agent. If you attempt to get out, or expose them, you either go to jail or you die."

 

--from an open letter to Barbara Hartwell

 

This malicious lie, originating  with COINTELPRO Kingpin Ted Gunderson, has been promoted far and wide, and taken up by all sorts of loudmouthed, sleazy COINTELPRO minions and government stooges, many of whom are criminals, including blackmailers, extortionists, psycho stalkers, forgers, identity thieves, and child sex predators/porno freaks. (Which tells you exactly what kind of persons the government exploits to do their dirty work!)

 

But I certainly agree with you about the negative comments (by many critics) against those who are "on the right track".  The bad guys don't bother to engineer massive smear campaigns against their own kind --only against those who are exposing the truth about government crimes and corruption, and who defend Liberty and the God-given, unalienable rights of the Individual, are targeted.

 

Thanks again for your interest in my work and for taking the time to write to me by post.

HANNAFORD: Moronic Minions of the Police State

A lot has changed since 1883 – the year Arthur Hannaford began selling high-quality fruits & vegetables from a produce cart on the Portland, Maine, waterfront. That one-horse cart became Hannaford Supermarkets, a leading grocer serving customers throughout Northern New England and New York.

Times change, but our customers still expect the highest-quality produce, meat and deli products; good prices and great value; and first-class customer service.

-- Promotion from the Hannaford website

"First class customer service"? Say what? Far from it...

This is the second report I have found it necessary to write, exposing the moronic minions who are employees of the Hannaford supermarket in Saco, Maine, and for the same reason: targeting customers for the police state tactics of harassment and invasions of privacy.

 

The legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages in Maine is twenty-one (21). So, is there any reason at all why it should present a problem for a person who reached that age more than THIRTY-EIGHT (38) years ago, to make such a purchase?  

 

Not in the mind of any rational person. But according to the hirelings of  Hannaford, it is "company policy" to target any customer who "appears to be under the age of forty-five (45)" for harassment, in the form of demanding that the customer produce government-issued I.D.

 

Today, it happened once again, to me --a grandmother of three, just a few months shy of my sixtieth birthday.

 

At the Hannaford checkout, the groceries I placed on the conveyer belt included two bottles of wine. And, in the true fashion of idiocy run amok, it all went downhill from there.....

 

HANNAFORD CLERK: (squinting her eyes, scrutinizes me and announces in a smug tone) I need to see some I.D.

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: For what reason?

 

HANNAFORD CLERK: I need to see your I.D. before I can ring up the wine.

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: I don't care what you need, your demand is absurd and I won't be showing you any I.D., so please just ring up my purchases and I'll be on my way.

 

HANNAFORD CLERK: (crossing her arms, chin jutting out) I can't do that, not until I see some I.D.

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: Can't, or won't?  What in the hell is wrong with you? Are you suggesting  that you actually believe I could be UNDER the age of twenty-one?  Since I am nearly 60 years old, your demand is not only absurd, but moronic. Please just ring up my purchases, you're wasting my time.

 

HANNAFORD CLERK: (with a panicked look, calls over a manager) We have a problem here. She (cocking her head in my direction) refuses to let me see her I.D.!

 

MANAGER: (training his eyes on me and giving me the once-over) Ma'am, we need to see some I.D. Anyone who appears to be under forty-five years of age needs to give us I.D. before they can purchase alcoholic beverages. It's company policy.

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: Company policy?  In case you are not aware, the legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages is twenty one, NOT forty-five.  And I don't give a damn about your 'company policy', I don't answer to you, and you're not going to get any I.D. from me. This is beyond ridiculous! You people have a hell of a nerve, trying to force your police state tactics on customers,  and I will not be harassed, nor will I allow you to invade my privacy.

 

MANAGER: (looking around nervously at others waiting on the line behind me) Well, unless we see some I.D., you won't be able to buy this wine. It's company policy.

 

CLERK: (chiming in and whining, now) We HAVE to check your I.D.! It's company policy! I could lose my job!

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: (to CLERK and MANAGER) I have been a customer of this store for almost twenty-five years.  I was shopping here --including for wine-- long before Hannaford took it over, and I must say this place has seen better days --especially as regards customer service. 

 

CLERK: But I could lose my job!

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: (to CLERK) Your job is not my concern. My only concern here is my right to shop in peace, without being harassed because of idiotic policies.  If you choose to be a minion of the police state by harassing the customers, just because it is 'company policy', you will have to take the consequences.  I will defend my rights against anyone who attempts to violate them. That includes you.  And that is MY policy.

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL (to MANAGER): As for you, you have chosen to be an enforcer for the police state.  So enforce your idiotic 'company policy' when and where you can get away with it. But that will not be happening here, today, not with me.

 

Forget the wine. I'll buy it from a store that treats the customers with respect and appreciates their business. I will not be accosted by grocery clerks and treated as if I am a potential criminal. And you've just a lost a good customer, as this is the last time I'll be shopping here --for anything.

 

CLERK: (huffy now) So then, you don't want the wine?

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: That's what I said. Please just ring up the other items. I just want to get out of here.

 

CLERK: (responding to me as I disdainfully tossed some bills on the counter) Don't throw the money at me!

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL: I did no such thing. There is the money, on the counter, right in front of you. Now, stop wasting my time with your nonsense. 

 

CLERK: Well, you don't have to be rude!

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL:  Rude? How dare you! If you consider it 'rude' for a customer to express her righteous outrage and disgust with your harassment, it's your problem, not mine.

 

CLERK: (handing me my change and a receipt, plastering on a phony smile) Have a nice day!

 

GRANDMA HARTWELL (to CLERK and MANAGER): Enjoy the police state! You earned it and you sure as hell deserve it!

 

As I wheeled my shopping cart out the door, I heard the idiot clerk whining to the next customer,  "Well, she didn't have to be rude, I was only doing my job......"

 

Only doing my job....just following orders....where have we heard all this before?

 

That's right.... if you want to keep your job, just become a mindless moronic  minion, and just do what you're told, no questions asked, no thinking allowed. Harass the customers and treat them like criminal suspects.  Don't worry, it's just 'company policy'.

 

As regards the preposterous 'policy' of  targeting anyone who "appears to be under the age of forty-five", that is a government police state policy which has been implemented in increments over a period of decades. I remember when they first started all this, some time around the mid-90s. A clerk would ask for I.D. from anyone who "appeared to be under thirty." Now, the age has been drastically raised by another fifteen years.

 

What will be next on the agenda?  Demanding I.D. from anyone who "appears" to be under the age of fifty? Under the age of seventy? Demanding proof of residence in a nursing home? Where will it end?

 

Hannaford and many other stores who sell alcoholic beverages have adopted this moronic  'policy'  but there is absolutely no law which requires them to do so.  As usual, it's all about Big Government Control.  Surveillance, invasions of privacy, interrogations, "Your papers, please"...

 

And who decides which persons will be targeted?  Who decides who "appears" to be under thirty, or under forty-five?  Are clerks given the discretionary power to decide?  Apparently, but certainly not under any law.  And what could possibly qualify these robotic hirelings to make such a judgment?

 

Should the subjective perceptions, beliefs, biases and opinions of a grocery store clerk, living in fear of losing a job, determine who shall --and who shall not-- be able to make a purchase? Hell, no!

 

The truth is, this is harassment, plain and simple.  Anyone who engages in such behavior --for whatever reason--should be confronted, told in no uncertain terms that their behavior is wrongful. Their demands should be absolutely  refused.  No self-respecting person would tolerate such aggressive,  disrespectful and intrusive treatment.

 

Yet it amazes me how many people are simply willing to comply with these abominable policies, to allow their rights to be trampled, to 'go along to get along'.  As for those who do, they are only enabling the government violators and their moronic minions and should also be held accountable.

 

And remember this: No one can FORCE you to comply. These government minions can only get away with these violations of your rights if you allow it. It is very simple: JUST SAY NO!

 

If everyone adopted a ZERO TOLERANCE policy and refused to be harassed,  refused to patronize businesses whose 'company policy' involves such  violations of a person's rights, these minions of the police state would be stopped dead in their tracks.

 

And that is the ONLY way to stop them.

 

Make them sweat. Refuse to spend your hard-earned money at any store whose 'company policy' involves police state tactics, invasions of privacy and  harassment of customers. Give your business instead to establishments who value the customers and treat them with respect.

 

But don't stop there. Take a stand and make your outrage public. Tell your family, friends and neighbors. Hold a demonstration outside of the offending establishments, or pass out flyers to shoppers.

 

Shame on you, Hannaford Minions of the Police State.

ADDENDUM:

 

Hannaford faced a lawsuit for discriminating against the handicapped. In 1999, employees of the store in Gardiner, Maine, mistook a man with a disability for being drunk, refusing him the sale of alcohol. The court found that Hannaford's policy of not allowing management to countermand the initial decision of the sales clerk, even in the light of credible evidence of disability, was a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the company was ordered to pay damages.

Response to a Needy Reader: Setting the Record Straight

 

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

 

-- Communist ideology of Karl Marx

 

Recently I received a letter (given below) from a reader of my website. Although he seemed to attribute some degree of value/credibility to the site, his attitude was presumptuous in the extreme. Specifically, it was all about his  "need", which he was clearly and inappropriately projecting onto me (and possibly others), and which he  mistakenly believed it was my obligation to accommodate. 

 

So, it's that time again...time to set the record straight in regard to the misguided notions and opinions of certain of my readers: about my professional background and work, and the purpose of my website, Barbara Hartwell Vs. CIA.

 

For the past fifteen (15) years, I have been publishing my reports on the World Wide Web. For most of that time, I have had my own websites. I have always posted prominent "disclaimer" notices which clearly state that all reports, articles, radio broadcasts, etc. published on my sites are FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.

 

That is a very simple phrase which, at least to me, says exactly what it means. But just to be certain I make my position crystal clear (once again), let me  define my use of the phrase, FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. On my website, I reserve all rights to determine the content. Material is posted for my own reasons (personal, professional or otherwise); this is my prerogative, and I owe no one an explanation. What is there, is posted there by me, at my discretion, and that is all there is. FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. Period. Case closed. 

 

Again, it is all very simple: the readers may make of the information what they will. They may agree or disagree, they may like or dislike, they may love or hate, they may be totally indifferent, they may decide to dismiss it all, they may find the information credible --or not. Each person is free to use his own intellectual and/or spiritual  discernment (to the extent of his capabilities), make his own assessments, draw his own conclusions. I bear no responsibility for the opinions, feelings or "need" of others, nor does it concern me what the readers think, what they believe, or what they may THINK they know, about Barbara Hartwell, the issues I address, or the material published on my site.

 

My position has always been, when addressing my readers: Please, don't take it from me. I do not present myself as the "authority" for anyone, on any subject.  The only way to get to the truth about any issue is to do your own research, use your own discernment, make your own assessments, draw your own conclusions. Think for yourself! If you won't do that, you have no one but yourself to blame for being misguided or ignorant.

 

There is no charge to view my website. If people do not like what I publish, they are free to simply hit the DELETE button and opt out. No loss, no problem, for them, or for me.

 

In fact, the only time I would be concerned about the beliefs, opinions or "need" of others is when, as a result of those beliefs, opinions, or "need", they try to force their views on ME, violate MY Individual God-given rights, obstruct  MY Liberty, invade MY privacy or threaten MY life. In that case, I will defend myself (and mine) by any and every lawful means necessary. That is the nature of Individual Liberty: No one has the right to deprive another of his Unalienable Rights. Amen and amen.

 

There is also another important issue: I have been targeted for a massive  smear/neutralization campaign by agents of the U.S. government and their minions and stooges, in attempts to discredit me; so, if someone chooses to PUBLISH a commentary about me, I may well become concerned, depending on its nature. In fact, the libelous falsehoods about Barbara Hartwell are so pervasive on the Internet that it would be a full time job just attempting to refute them all. 

 

So I do the best I can. When I find articles containing wild speculation,  misinformation, disinformation, malicious lies, forgery, identity theft (any or all of such), I will refute the false information in as many cases as possible,  for the public record, and expose the author of the smear piece as a busybody, an ignoramus, a liar, a government stooge, a pretentious fool, etc. etc.

 

(Please see my reports exposing names of malicious liars, character assassins,  government stooges, etc.) 

 

I have also clearly and repeatedly stated in notices on my sites that I am not interested in "feedback" from readers in the form of comments, suggestions/unsolicited advice or questions. I do not wish to engage in  discussions, arguments or debates. I realize that many others (whistleblowers, journalists, expositors of government crimes/corruption) may hold a different view, being that they welcome interactions with their reading/listening audiences. That is their decision, their prerogative, these individuals are entitled to do as they wish --but it has nothing whatsoever to do with me.

 

So, I am hard-pressed to understand why so many readers of my website persist in disregarding my clearly stated wishes and policies. What is wrong with these people?! Have they no respect for the rights and personal boundaries of others?  Apparently not.  These individuals seem to believe that just because I have a public website, I am "obligated" to accommodate them in various ways:  answer their questions (some of which are extremely intrusive); respond to their comments; offer pro bono professional services; provide  assistance for their problems, etc. etc. Wrong!

 

Although there was a time when I had a public e-mail address, and regularly  published selected  "letters to the editor", that time is long gone. Most of the letters I received from readers were benign and sincere, complimenting my work; thanking me for my truthful, accurate information, for exposing criminals in government, for my  activism for Liberty, human rights, etc., or expressing their support. I did not have the time to answer them all, but I appreciated each and every one of them. 

 

A smaller portion of the e-mails consisted of hate mail, harassment, and in some cases, threats. To those, I did not respond. However, rather than posting the supportive letters, my tendency was to publish the hate mail  --which I saw as an opportunity to expose the ignorance, foolishness and malice of my adversaries. Aside from that, the letters were often so absurd that they had a certain entertainment value. But when it came to the threats,  my policy was to publish them all, along with the names of the criminals who  made the threats. I also reported all threats to the appropriate  authorities.

 

Then, there were many persons who e-mailed me with their personal testimony about various abuses, harassment  or persecution by the government, who  requested that I investigate their cases. Others requested that I take on their legal cases, pro bono, in the mistaken idea that I am an attorney. I am no such thing, nor have ever claimed to be.

 

All this, once again, despite the fact that I had clearly and repeatedly stated in notices on my website: 

 

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUR PERSONAL TESTIMONY OR INFORMATION REGARDING LEGAL CASES. I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY. AS FOR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, I AM NOT AVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATIONS. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME, THE RESOURCES, OR THE WHEREWITHAL TO ASSIST YOU.

 

Could I have made it any more clear? 

 

Yet, to this day, no matter how many notices I publish, I am still receiving this type of mail, by post, on a regular basis. Unbelievable.

 

I no longer have a public e-mail address, for what by now should be obvious reasons. Additionally, I am a true recluse.  As such, I have no interest in corresponding or interacting with the general public, nor in any form of socializing or "networking."  I do not wish to receive unsolicited e-mail from strangers. As well, I don't have the time or inclination to sort through hundreds of e-mails a week, much less read and answer them. 

 

But of greatest concern to me was stopping the criminal harassment, by e-mail,  for which I have been targeted. Until I finally expunged the last e-mail address by which these perps could send harassing and threatening e-mail, I was assaulted with their trash mail on a daily basis. 

 

(See numerous reports on this site which expose names of these criminal  offenders and their accomplices.) 

 

Having said all this, having once again made my position crystal clear, now  back to the issue of the misguided notions of some of my readers, and one in particular. A few days ago I received a letter by post from a Canadian reader of my website. I don't often publish or comment on letters I receive,  but  occasionally I make an exception, especially, as in this case, if it presents an opportunity to address important issues and to set the record straight. 

 

Out of respect for the writer's privacy, I will not give his name. Here is the letter in its entirety. My response follows.

 

[NOTE: The original letter was handwritten, in all capital letters. I have copied it exactly.]

 

"BARBARA,

 

I CAME ACROSS YOUR INFORMATION THESE LAST COUPLE WEEKS AND WAS AMAZED.

 

FIRST OF ALL, I AM A VICTIM OF "ABUSE". (I HATE CALLNG IT THAT BECAUSE I AM A SINNER SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE AND DESERVING HELL.) I KNOW ALL THE SYMPTOMS AND YOU HAVE THEM. I KNOW ABOUT MIND CONTROL, SEXUAL ABUSE, SATANIC ABUSE, ETC. WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON AND EVEN MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE A FEW YEARS (15 YEARS AGO) I MADE THE DECISION NEVER TO DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT. WOW!  IN CANADA? PEOPLE THINK I'M ON DRUGS OR FROM MARS. THEY CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD PAY FOR THEIR OWN MEDICARE IN A FREE SYSTEM. I HAVE FELT VERY ALONE.

 

UNTIL I CAME ACROSS YOUR WEBSITE. WOW!

 

I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE IT.

 

AFTER READING YOUR STUFF THOUGH I NEED TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING ON YOUR WEBSITE. GIVE EVIDENCE. YOU NEED TO DO THIS. YOU SAID YOU DID BLACK OPS --WHERE? DID YOU RUN DRUGS, NEARLY KILL NORIEGA, INFILTRATE THE KREMLIN -WHAT? WERE YOU A SEX SLAVE -TO WHOM? DON'T GET SALACIOUS BUT WE NEED EVIDENCE, NAMES, PLACES, ARMY BASES.

 

PLEASE.

 

I WANT TO SEND MONEY BUT I MUST MAKE SURE. IT NEEDS TO BE ON YOUR WEBSITE.

 

[READER]

IN CHRIST"

 

BARBARA HARTWELL RESPONDS TO READER

 

Dear Reader,

 

I must begin with this: You have made several assumptions about me which have absolutely no basis in fact, and which could not be further from the truth. Perhaps you are engaging in wild speculation, and/or accepting as truth the disinformation promoted by those who wish to discredit Barbara Hartwell. Possibly, you have confused my identity with that of someone else.

 

But whatever the case may be, if you have in fact taken the time to peruse the information on my website, you would know that I have never, at any time, in any of my writings, stated that I was a victim of "sexual abuse" or "satanic abuse."  On the contrary, you would have seen that I have found it necessary to repeatedly REFUTE these falsehoods when they were promoted by ignorant and/or malicious individuals, in their attempts to misrepresent me, my professional background and my experiences, and to lump me into a category where I do not belong. So I will state, once again, for the public record, that I have never been a victim of, nor involved in any way, shape or form in, such abuses as described in your letter.

 

As for your statement, "I know all the symptoms and you have them", where in hell does that come from?  I have no idea to what "symptoms" you refer, since you don't specify. Symptoms?  In relation to what?  Again, you don't make your meaning clear.  And if, as seems obvious, you have started with false premises, you will certainly end up drawing false conclusions.  In any case, since you do not know me, you would have no reasonable way of arriving at any such  conclusions. How could you, a total stranger to me, possibly presume to offer  any such "diagnosis"?

 

To put it bluntly, you don't know what you are talking about, and it is clear you know little or nothing about Barbara Hartwell.

 

But the most presumptuous comments in your letter relate to your repeated use of the word "need".

 

"I need"..."YOU need"..."WE need"..."IT needs".....

 

Let's start with what you say YOU "need". Why you believe that your personal "need" would be any concern of mine, I have no idea. Contrary to your misguided notion, I am not required to accommodate you, or your "need", in any way.

 

But then, as if this is not intrusive enough, you have the audacity to tell me what I "need"?  Aside from God Almighty, I am the ONLY one who knows that, or has the right to decide it. And that is nobody's business but my own.

 

Next, you move on to stating what WE "need." Who, pray tell, is "WE"?  For whom do you presume to speak? A collective of some sort? The general public?  Since you don't specify, I am once again left to wonder. But then again, it is not my concern, as I don't answer to you, nor to any group or collective.   

 

Lastly, you insist that IT "needs". By whose decree? YOURS?  The unidentified persons described as "WE"?  Who, then? And again, why would it be of any concern to me? 

 

You finish your letter with: "I want to send money, but I must make sure. It needs to be on your website."  

 

So apparently, you have yet another mistaken and misguided notion: That I will accept a donation from someone who thinks it is his prerogative to make demands, tell me what I "need" to do, and thus attach conditions to his donation. Wrong! 

 

It may surprise you to learn that I do not accept donations with any strings attached. A donation does not "buy" the donor any special favors or consideration; there is no quid pro quo. But unfortunately (for me), you are not alone in subscribing to this misguided notion. Certain others (thankfully only a few) have attempted to meddle in my personal/professional business, invade my privacy, make demands, in the false and unwarranted belief that this is the "price" a recipient of their donations must pay. Wrong! 

 

FYI: I accept ONLY donations given with no conditions attached, no questions asked, given in the spirit of "Christian charity" or "love gifts".  People have donated for all sorts of reasons, but most often because they value my work, because they stand with me in the causes for which I fight,  because they love their Liberty more than their lives, because they want to defeat the bad guys, the evildoers who are destroying this country.

 

To these wonderful and honorable supporters, I say: God bless you, each and every one! 

 

Believe me, I don't want your money. Please, send it to a truly worthy cause, or to someone who is willing to jump through hoops to comply with your conditions and to serve your "need".

 

Because the truth is, the purpose of my website is not to cater to the "need" of the readers, the general public or anyone else. The purpose of my website is not to seek approval, to please the  people reading it, nor to win a popularity contest. It is certainly not to solicit donations by telling the readers what they want to hear.

 

In fact, the most important information presented on this website is not "all about Barbara Hartwell." It is not about my personal or professional background, nor the related details. It is not about "proving" anything to anyone. 

 

My website, first and foremost, is about DEFENDING LIBERTY AND THE GOD-GIVEN  UNALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL.  That is by far the most important issue I address, not only in my own writings, but also in the material I publish which is written/broadcasted by other authors/talk show hosts who share my principles and my passion for Individual Liberty.

 

If in fact you have found some value in my website, which you seemed to indicate, then I can be glad for that. But please, take it (or leave it) for what it is, and don't expect or demand that it serve your  "need."

 

May God give you a Love of the Truth.

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."
    

--Ayn Rand

 

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

 

Ecclesiastes 10:2 

 

No doubt about it, leftists are trouble. Maybe that's because they're looking for trouble --and they  always find it.

 

Leftists make trouble where none previously existed --they lobby for trouble, picket for trouble, crusade for trouble, campaign for trouble. Wherever they go, trouble follows.

 

Leftists may call themselves by various names. The more flagrant among them may designate themselves as socialists or even communists; others may call themselves liberals or progressives. Some leftists may masquerade as conservatives, but their actions tell another story.

 

However they may describe themselves, there is one very simple reason why leftists are troublemakers: They do not respect --nor even recognize-- the rights, liberties, privacy, personal boundaries or sovereignty of the Individual.  

 

And that is where the trouble always begins.

 

Each and every Individual is born with unalienable rights. Why unalienable?  Because these rights are bestowed by the Creator, God Almighty, NOT by men nor by the societies or governments of men. What God has given, no man, nor collective of men, has the right to take away. 

 

Trouble is, leftists just don't get it.  Leftists hold the false and asinine belief that "rights" are negotiable, that they are to be determined and doled out by the discretionary power of the collective.

 

As deniers of Individual rights, leftists will intrude, invade, trespass, stalk and harass. They are everywhere, always in places where they are not wanted and where they have no right to be.

 

If you post a NO TRESPASSING sign on your private property, the leftist will pull up the stake and use it as a battering ram to break down your door. If you put up a privacy fence, the leftist will vault over it with impunity. If you build a reinforced concrete wall, the leftist will go out and rent a bulldozer, then send you the bill.

 

Leftists do not think for themselves (if they think at all); lacking intellectual and spiritual discernment, they look to others to form their opinions and make their decisions. But in the world of the leftists, it doesn't stop there, for they feel threatened by anyone who strays from the herd, who engages in independent, critical thought, who decides for himself, who exercises his God-given rights, who seizes his Individual liberty, who refuses to defer to the collective.

 

When a leftist has a problem, rather than solving it on his own, or perhaps  seeking expert advice from a reliable source, he will use the scattershot approach, consulting every Tom, Dick and Harry who comes down the pike. He will make numerous phone calls, hammer out e-mails, go from house to house, taking surveys. Let's vote on it!, the leftist will proclaim. For the leftist, the majority rules, no matter how idiotic the consensus may be.

 

If you have a problem, don't ever confide in a leftist. He will not keep your confidence, but will drag everybody and his brother into your private business, soliciting opinions without your knowledge or consent. Then, you will be subjected to a long-winded harangue, as the leftist spouts off the unwanted  advice of this so-and-so, and that so-and-so...the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker.  According to the leftist, YOUR business is everybody's business.

 

Leftists are nitpickers who will waste their time and energy (and yours, if you let them) in endless discussions of minutiae, rather than getting straight to the point.  A leftist can't see the forest for the trees.

 

A leftist will take an insupportable position which violates the rights and personal boundaries of the Individual, but when confronted with his offenses,  he will not acknowledge his wrongdoing, even when proved wrong. Like a caged mouse on a wheel, the leftist will just keep going round and round, just keep on defending the indefensible.

 

Leftists are social animals who will eagerly join all sorts of groups, associations, societies, coalitions and committees. Since they don't trust their own perceptions, and since discernment and discretion are absent from their thought processes, leftists everywhere can be found parroting and advocating the consensus of the majority.  

 

Leftists are the ultimate team players. According to the skewed philosophy of leftists, everyone must fall into line, march in lockstep and, come hell or high water, agree with the prevailing trends of the collective, on every issue.

 

With leftists, there is no possibility of "agreeing to disagree". Rather than leaving others in peace and privacy to live as they see fit, leftists will  always  attempt to force their views, opinions, ideology and policies on others.  

 

For leftists, compromise is the order of the day. Those who refuse to compromise their principles for the "common good" of the collective are  deemed stubborn, difficult, recalcitrant, uncooperative --or, the favorite  insult hurled by leftists, "selfish".

 

Those who refuse to conform, to comply with the rules and regulations of the  collective, are viewed as a threat and treated as pariahs.

 

"You always have to have things your way!", or, "You always have to win!", the leftist will exclaim. This, when the issue at hand involves ONLY the private  business of an Individual, in which the leftist and his comrades have no right to interfere.

 

Many leftists, in their delusional mindset, consider themselves do-gooders, altruists, humanitarians. They vociferously tout the virtues of 'doing for others', 'social welfare', compassion, tolerance and charity.  But their  'charity' comes with a hefty price tag attached  --they will always interfere in the affairs of others, smugly claiming they know what is best, for the "good of all."

 

When an Individual draws his line in the sand, the leftist feels compelled to cross it. Leftists, by their very nature, are compulsive aggressors.  They are gate-crashers, snoops, meddlers.  Leftists are micro-managers of other people's business --with a vengeance!

 

Leftists just won't leave others alone --that's because leftists are the worst sort of busybodies.  Hovering over you, breathing down your neck, they're continually handing out unsolicited advice, "checking in", tracking your every move, invading your privacy. 

 

Leftists are ruled not by reason, principle, or spiritual integrity; rather, they are wishy-washy  weather vanes, swayed by every wind of doctrine.  And in fact, contrary to their boasts of "tolerance", leftists are the least tolerant people imaginable, as they simply will not tolerate anyone who tells them, in no uncertain terms, to mind their own business and leave others to tend to theirs!

 

Leftists are mobsters. Advocating mob rule, they operate in groups, packs and herds. Lacking respect for the rights of the Individual, rather than acting on moral absolutes, leftists will use deception, manipulation, social engineering to pursue their agenda.

 

The agenda? Make no mistake: It's all about control.

 

Leftists are cowards, and like all cowards, they seek safety and security in numbers. Leftists want to grab your guns, to leave you defenseless, to force you into compliance with the edicts of the collective.  After all, they whine, we know what is best for you, it's for your own good.

 

But at the end of the day, the do-gooder mask of tolerance, altruism and charity falls away, leaving only the sinister face of evil. Leftists will ultimately resort to the use of deadly force against anyone and everyone who stands up for the liberties, rights, privacy and personal boundaries of the Individual. 

 

Failing all else, they will send men with guns to neutralize dissenters. Leftism is a slippery slope which ALWAYS ends in communist tyranny, a fact well-proven by history. 

 

Such is the trouble with leftists.

FBI CRIME REPORT IS A FRAUD

 

Here's the latest from my friend ex-FBI agent Geral Sosbee.

The fbi crime report shown below is a gross fraud on the nation because the report intentionally excludes data on crimes committed (or covered up) in this country by the FBI & CIA (and police agencies and operatives) such as murder, forced suicide, burglary, robbery, common assault, home invasion, exotic weaponry assault via chemicals, biological agents, psychoelectronic, etc., that I and hundreds of others have documented. The crime rate has clearly gone up, and the FBI employees who issued the report should be prosecuted for fraud against the government.

Database: FBI Crime Statistics, 2005-09

During 2009, violent crime nationwide declined for the third year in a row, with an estimated 5.3 percent drop from 2008 figures. Property crime continued to fall as well -- for a seventh straight year, according to the FBI . The federal agency annually releases statistics on violent crimes like murder, rape and robbery and on property crimes such as burglary and vehicle theft. Not all agencies participate in the voluntary FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program and therefore are not reflected in the data.

Book Review: INCOME TAX Shattering the Myths

"A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right."

 

--Thomas Paine

In his recently released book, INCOME TAX Shattering the Myths, Dave Champion describes the misapplication of the income tax, as "the largest financial crime in the history of the world."

This meticulously researched book by Dave Champion is unlike anything I've ever read on the subject of the income tax. This, from someone who's read a lot --books, pamphlets, essays, tutorials, articles, and even parts of the older version of the IRS manual. I have also talked at length with several high-profile individuals in the Tax Honesty Movement, a few of whom are now in prison, unjustly incarcerated for a crime they did not commit. 

I think it's safe to say that although I personally have no expertise on this topic, I have probably done more research, over decades, than the average person, and yet I have never seen the subject explained so clearly, so succinctly, so comprehensively.  As I see it, this book is a work of genius which could only have been divinely inspired!

Dave Champion's book is not based on theories. Rather, it is based on hard facts, supported by irrefutable evidence. The evidence --straight from the official government sources-- is presented in a logical step-by-step manner that anyone can follow. In addition to citing and explaining case law, Dave presents examples which clarify the issues and which refute the 'myths' which sadly, all too many Americans have been indoctrinated --or intimidated-- into believing.

If you want the facts about who is "liable" for the income tax --and who is not-- (most likely you) I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I don't often write book reviews, nor do I publish lists of 'recommended reading'.  As an insatiable reader of non-fiction (especially books exposing government crimes and corruption) I can honestly say that I have never described any book as a MUST READ. Except this one.

This book --which kept me up reading late into the night-- is not only about the income tax. It is a book about Liberty, and about the true nature of Patriotism. Every American worthy of the name should read it, then pass it on to family, friends and associates.

May God richly bless you, Dave Champion.

Targeted for Terror: Ex-FBI Agent's Gruesome Ordeal

NOTE: I like to repost this report at least once a year. I wrote this article in 2004. Since that time, the tactics of terror and torture for which Geral Sosbee has been targeted have escalated, an ever-increasing threat to his life. This is absolutely appalling!

Geral has also become a target of the government-sponsored libel campaigns run by COINTELPRO. Don't believe a word these demonic lying rat bastards say! Here's the real story. Read it, and hear the Angels weep....

TARGETED FOR TERROR: EX-FBI AGENT'S GRUESOME ORDEAL

America is a willingness of the heart.
 

--F. Scott Fitzgerald

Imagine this: He is an American citizen, born and raised in the U.S. of A. As a young man, he enlists in the military, the U.S. Army, where he serves his country as a soldier in Vietnam. Following military service, he earns a college degree and begins a career with the FBI, where he specializes in espionage/foreign intelligence operations. 

After leaving the FBI, he pursues post-graduate studies and earns a law degree, becomes a Doctor of Jurisprudence. He goes on to become a prosecuting attorney in the state of Texas and subsequently an associate municipal court judge. As a university professor, he teaches Constitutional law, at the graduate and undergraduate levels, including to military personnel.

Sounds like an enviable life, doesn't it? A life any American would be honored to call his own. The life of an American Patriot, a Defender of the Constitution who loves his country so much he is willing to give his all in dedication to the service of its loftiest ideals...Liberty and Justice for All.

But as you read on, you will discover that somewhere, somehow...something went terribly wrong. Life did not turn out as it should have for this American Patriot....

PURSUED BY THE HOUNDS OF HELL

He is now, at age 58, financially destitute, having been forced into bankruptcy in 2003 resulting from the FBI and CIA campaign to destroy him. He was at one time forced to live in his car, moving from place to place; and to borrow from his credit cards to survive as he sought safe haven from his tormentors.

He suffers physical disabilities (associated with a back injury in Viet Nam and a knee injury sustained while in FBI service) both of which have been exacerbated by the chronic illnesses brought on by poisonings and assaults with directed energy ("non-lethal") weaponry.

He has had most of his property stolen or destroyed, including two (2) computers, a car and a motorcycle (which were not protected by bumper-to-bumper warranties). Now being without a vehicle, unable to afford to replace his losses, he is forced to walk or take public transportation.

Being without a computer, he is forced to go to a library or pay for the use of a computer elsewhere in order to continue his work. Work for which he receives no compensation but pursues as a tormented labor of love, still driven by the need to serve his country in the pursuit of Liberty and Justice for All.

The same liberty and justice which have been denied to him by the henchmen of the corrupt system he seeks to expose and to hold accountable for its crimes against its own citizens.

This story of political persecution, violations of privacy and outrageous abuses of human rights, that of ex-FBI agent Geral W. Sosbee, may stretch credibility to the breaking point, but is nonetheless the unvarnished truth. How can I be so sure his story is true? Because the hero of the story is a man I have come to know well, and now consider to be my best friend.

I also believe in him because I have conducted my own thorough investigation of his case over a period of three (3) years, from 2001-2004. I have listened to countless hours of his testimony. He has allowed me to interrogate and debrief him in order that I might have a full understanding of the situation. (Just ask Geral, I can be the most brutal of interrogators, in search of the facts and the truth.) In the course of this investigation I have collected a large file of his written reports, documenting events which have transpired between 1971 (his first year in the FBI) and the present time. I have studied the documents (official gov't letters and FBI reports) which validate his claims.

But more than all of this, I myself have become a witness to some of the tactics of harassment being used by criminal elements of the FBI and CIA in attempts to neutralize one of their former agents.

They regularly commandeer the phone lines and sabotage our calls. They put echo chambers on the line and break in with electronic interference to let us know they are on the case, listening to and recording every word. They shut off his cell phone after he commits the crime of talking to me. They send "punishing" or taunting e-mail messages to Geral, on the subject matter of our various calls, to let him know they don't like him talking to me. But I think they hate it most when we laugh at them, finding comic relief in the absurdity of their sophomoric behavior.

Yes, the very government he served with honor for so many years is responsible for designing and implementing a terror campaign so brutal, it's amazing that he has survived it thus far. I can honestly say, with no reservations, that the persecution Geral Sosbee has been targeted for is by far the worst I have ever investigated or even heard of, barring none.

He is pursued, day in, day out, by the Hounds of Hell. They invade his home, poison his food, send thugs to intercept him at the bus stop or in other public places. They assault him with ELF weaponry in the apartment where he now lives, so that he has little chance of getting any sleep.

There will be those who would rather turn their eyes away; who do not want to believe Geral Sosbee's story for the simple reason that it is unfathomable to them that such evil, such brazen iniquity, could exist in the hearts and minds of so many of those in positions of power and authority in our government. But I will ask you, if nothing else, to suspend judgment and read on with your own open mind and compassionate heart.

The truth will set you free, though at first it may hurt like hell. Hopefully, it will also make you mad as hell.

SOSBEE'S FORCED RESIGNATION FROM THE FBI

In 1978, while he was working in New York City, the FBI orchestrated the breakup of Sosbee's marriage, using operatives to cause his wife to abandon the relationship. Then, having isolated Sosbee by removing his primary source of support, the FBI surrounded him one day in the apartment complex where he lived, using more than half a dozen FBI agents who gave him the following ultimatum: Resign or be incarcerated in a mental institution.

The FBI's reason for the forced resignation was that Sosbee had reported perjury, suppression of evidence and other irregularities --which comprised obstruction of justice--to his supervisor years earlier. The cases in which the FBI crimes were committed implicated dozens of FBI agents, supervisors and possibly the Director himself.

The same cases were used --and are still being used to the present day-- as legal precedent for all future cases of similar facts. The end of the appeal time for some of the plaintiffs and defendants in the cases in which Sosbee was involved as an FBI agent (and arresting officer) terminated at about the same time that Sosbee was forced out. The FBI waited until the statutory time limits elapsed for appeals (in the suspect cases) so as to preclude Sosbee from discovering and reporting the crimes and cover ups in the cases.

Today the FBI uses the precedents mentioned above to prevent other defendants and plaintiffs from receiving a fair hearing.

Imagine that: A person who defends the Constitutional rights of both suspects and law enforcement personnel is deemed "insane". What a sorry nation we have become. How far we have fallen from the ideals of our Founding Fathers.

So before going further, it is important to understand that Geral Sosbee's forced resignation from the FBI --under threat of losing his liberty and having his sanity impugned-- was a direct result of his uncompromising adherence to proper legal procedures as a law enforcement officer; and of keeping his sacred oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

This might-makes-right attitude by government authorities with overblown egos and a shortage of gray matter may well get over in a Banana Republic, but is insufferable --not to be tolerated!-- in the Constitutional Republic.

REFLECTING THE FBI'S HIGHEST TRADITIONS

It is deeply ironic that while working for the FBI, from 1971 until his forced resignation in 1978, Geral Sosbee had received several commendations from the FBI Director for excellence in service. Here is one such letter:

Dear Mr. Sosbee:

I am pleased to commend you for your excellent services relative to the Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution case concerning William Elisha Davidson and Ella Coffin Davidson.

Even though this investigation was of a trying and difficult nature, you pursued your responsibilites with attentiveness, perseverance and dedication.

Your valuable services were in keeping with the Bureau's highest traditions.

Sincerely yours,

L. Patrick Gray

Acting Director

[Please see Geral's website for the original document]

Then, there is the FBI History Book, in which Geral Sosbee is one of those Special Agents listed, describing some of his accomplishments while in service to the FBI. Below, a summary of the book:

"Turner Publishing Company is proud to have assisted the Society of Former Special Agents in compiling this volume of their history. The stories collected here, from the Bureau's history to the nearly 1,400 individual biographies, recount the courage, intelligence and integrity of those who have served in the most elite law enforcement organization in the land....Turner also would like to thank all former Special Agents and their families who contributed photographs, biographical or anecdotal material for the book...."

On page 11 of the book (which may be borrowed from a public library through the Library of Congress) the FBI mission is stated in part as follows:

"...and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is faithful to the Constitution of the United States of America."

So, for those who still find it a stretch to believe that the FBI could persecute one of their own, how much MORE of a stretch is it to comprehend how FAITHFULNESS TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION could be the primary cause for such a harassment campaign?

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

Now, in his own words, some comments from Geral Sosbee, describing some of his former colleagues.

Samuel W. Jones, now deceased. Sam was an outstanding FBI agent and a close friend who advised me that the FBI intended to end my career soon; this occurred while I worked in the Albuquerque and Alamogordo FBI offices.

Benjamin H Cook, now retired, was the Assistant Special Agent In Charge of the Springfield , Illinois, FBI office while I served under his command in the Rock Island Resident Agency of the FBI. Cooke was a part of the general conspiracy to keep me silent by transferring me to the Defence Language Institute in California after he learned that all the agents in the Rock Island Office refused to assist me in an arrest that I was ordered to make alone (a procedure unheard of, to be sent out with no backup.) Cooke was fully aware of the slander campaign which was intended to force me to resign. Besides all of this, Ben Cooke was and is now a good man who, under any other circumstances, I would have been honored to serve.

Lawrence M. Connelley and James R. Rogers, both served in the Rock Island FBI office with me and were aware of the conspiracy to force me out.

Donald E. Ritchey, now retired and living in Ft. Worth, Texas. Ritchey is the FBI agent who was with me at the time we illegally arrested an innocent woman named Margarett Rodriguez and falsely charged her with various criminal offenses...now memorialized in the law books. Prior to the arrest I advised Ritchey (about 15 years my senior) that I reviewed the file on the accused and that I could find no evidence of any type of criminal activity. Ritchey advised me to report this to the supervisor and to the case agent, which I did. Ritchey could verify many of my statements, but he is afraid to do so. He could single- handedly cause a Congressional Investigation into FBI corruption by simply coming forward to confirm that I helped arrest the accused against my will and against my stated verbal protestations. Ritchey retired from the FBI January, 1979, just a few months after my forced resignation from the FBI. Also, the statute of limitations for a plaintiff's appeal of the Rodriguez case expired in 1978; Ritchey and I were both defendants in the civil case and I was prevented from testifying. Ritchey now lives a comfortable life and I am tormented; as far as I am concerned he is a coward or a fool for his refusal to back me up.

G.W.S.

Why not put THAT in the FBI History Book? And while they're at it, the publishers could make some other revisions and tell the FBI's history LIKE IT REALLY IS.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS & NEUTRALIZATION CAMPAIGNS

Geral Sosbee was first brought to my attention in early 2001, by a friend, formerly in military service and retired from the LAPD. I went to Geral's website to check it out. Over the years, I have known quite a few whistleblowers out of government service; some have gone public using their actual names, some have used pseudonyms. I also know many former military and intelligence operatives who have spoken to me privately but have chosen for various reasons, not to make their cases public.

But in most cases, they all approached me to begin our correspondence. Being something of a recluse (even to the point of being anti-social) I do not normally seek out contact with other people. I have been burned too many times when agents were planted on me in the guise of well-wishers or supporters of my work. For the most part, all I want is to be left alone.

But once I started to read the material on Geral's website, I felt I had to make an exception for him and initiate contact myself. This was because so much of what he reported, the specific harassment tactics, including the violations of his privacy and personal boundaries; the 24-hour surveillance in his home, his car and everywhere he went; the break-ins to his home, the drugging and poisoning of his food and drink, the slander campaigns, and being accosted by government goons, was eerily similar to what had happened to me.

I believed his reports, if for no other reason than that I am intimately familiar with how the goons operate, how they try to drive a person to desperation, insanity or even suicide. Put simply: Isolation, Alienation, Deprivation. Right out of the CIA Psy Ops manual for political prisoners, detainees or other targets best described as enemies of the state. And most sickening, these "enemies" seem, with increasing frequency, to be their own people, those individuals whose conscience has led them to do the right thing, no matter the consequences to themselves.

It took awhile to get to know him, since he seemed somewhat shy and almost as reclusive as myself. At first, our phone conversations were brief, as were the e-mails. But what impressed me most about Geral was his truthfulness and his humility. For instance, I never learned that he was an attorney, had been a prosecutor, a judge or a professor of Constitutional law until a mutual acquaintance told me.

Unlike most others being persecuted by the government, I have never heard him boast of his credentials or personal accomplishments. Rather, he seemed truly saddened, for their sake, that the government blackhearts could not see the light of truth.

Geral once said to me that he could never have imagined, while he was growing up, or during his military service or even when he first started working for the FBI, that he would ever be in such a position. Where instead of fighting crime and criminals, he would be fighting against the criminals in his own government!

But when I began to understand the level of harassment and political persecution directed against him, I was truly horrified, as well as amazed that anyone could bear up under what he has had to endure. Geral does not believe in using violence to solve his problems, but rather his intellect. He calls his tormentors "Mental Dwarves", which pretty well sums up who and what they are. As I've told him many times, I don't think I could have the level of restraint he shows if I were accosted by goons on a regular basis, the way he has been. I might be tempted to punch their lights out! (In fact, on certain occasions I have done just that, but usually only if they touched me first.)

My reason for writing this article was that I wanted Geral's story to be told in a way that could give people a more comprehensive idea of his character; of who he is as a person; the nature of his considerable accomplishments and talents; his trials and tribulations in the fight for freedom; and his dedication to serving his country and humanity at large.

Many people have visited his website. They have looked at the reports and documents and they have been impressed with his credentials, which are posted there for anyone who makes an effort to look. And yet, his modesty in downplaying his own background and accomplishments has been a source of frustration to me personally because he deserves a much broader recognition for his work than he has thus far received.

Geral Sosbee is a Champion of Liberty and the only former government agent I have ever known (and I've known quite a few) whose record in government service can hold up under close scrutiny with no black marks, no skeletons rattling in the closet. His case, as a persecuted whistleblower, deserves far greater scrutiny as well, both by those within government and by all freedom-loving people in the U.S.A and around the world.

Addendum:

Fortunately, I'm not the only one who appreciates Geral Sosbee and his work on behalf of Liberty. Below, some comments from friends of mine who have been keeping up with Geral's work and his excellent website.

Barbara,

Mr. Sosbee is a loyal friend and a formidable foe. I am familiar with some of his works. I congratulate you both.

Dr. Byron Weeks

Dear Barbara:

I am so pleased you have Geral as an ally....a good man who, from what I see, tells it exactly as it is.

Best Always,
Wayne Blanchard.
