Agenda Politics & Media Whores: Selling Out America

 

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false"

 

--William Casey, CIA Director (1981)

 

Al Gore. George Soros. George W. Bush. Barack Hussein Obama. The United Nations. The Federal Reserve. Neo-Nazis & White Supremacists.

 

Can any self-respecting defender of God-given unalienable rights and liberties, as protected under the Constitution, any true patriot, say they would support, promote or traffic with these godless individuals, groups or entities?

 

Not on your life.

 

And yet there are a number of individuals who have proved by their actions, by their words, by their ever-shifting and opportunistic personal and political  alliances, that not only are their claims of being patriots false, but who have sold out the true patriots among us, those of us whose principles remain firm, unchanging, and uncompromising, year after year, decade after decade, no matter the consequences to ourselves, those of us who stand up for our country, who stand against tyranny in any form, against the criminals, liars, political hacks and traitors who are running this country into the ground. 

 

"According to my belief, and I have as good of, uh access to information as anyone in the world, probably, anyone I know of. About 30% of what's written on Veterans Today, is patently false. About 40% of what I write, is at least purposely, partially false, because if I didn't write false information I wouldn’t be alive. I simply have to do that. I write...anything I write I write between the lines."

 

--Gordon Duff, from radio program hosted by Mike Harris, RBN (2012)

 

In this statement, Gordon Duff, editor of Veterans Today, openly admits to being a liar. And makes the pathetic excuse that the "false information" he promotes is necessary to keep him alive. Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about Gordon Duff? Why then, would any intelligent person believe anything he has to say? Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, in legal terms. And why would any honest person associate with him, or become a columnist on his website?

 

Answer: Nobody, except someone for whom agenda politics (of one kind or another) takes precedence over everything else, including the truth.

 

Promotion for Gordon Duff:

 

Gordon Duff is a Marine Vietnam veteran, a combat infantryman, and Senior Editor at Veterans Today. His career has included extensive experience in international banking along with such diverse areas as consulting on counter insurgency, surveillance technologies, intelligence analysis,defense technologies or acting as a UN diplomat and "special consultant."

Duff currently serves on the boards of the Adamus Group, one of the world's largest energy technology firms and of a private financial institution participating in the Federal Reserve Banking group.

His most recent project adapts advanced military technologies to wildlife and land management in cooperation with the UN, USAID and International Wildlife Federation. 

 

I won't bother overstating the obvious (see text in red), but let me just add that Gordon Duff has also claimed, most outrageously, that George Soros, mobster, criminal, Jewish Nazi collaborator, mover and shaker of the New World Order, is one of the good guys, who is "helping people". Now, who in the hell could possibly take anything Duff says to be true.

 

Gordon Duff is clearly a media whore, a propagandist, a shill for the intelligence community and their controlled opposition, who works not to serve the truth, nor to see justice done, nor to defend Liberty and God-given unalienable rights, but to serve a dishonest and duplicitous agenda, while lining his pockets with ill-gotten gains. He has boasted of his vast personal wealth, all the while promoting the very lies, and participating in the very criminal conspiracies, that most harm the hardworking, honest people who care about the future of this country, about securing Liberty for our children and grandchildren. Since I am one of those people, as are my friends and allies, I take it very personally.

 

Stew Webb, a former colleague and personal friend of Barbara Hartwell, who has taken it upon himself to attempt to destroy my professional reputation, who has engaged in character assassination of the lowest order, since our association ended in 2006, is now a regular "columnist" on Veterans Today and does  numerous radio broadcasts with Gordon Duff and his cronies, including Mike Harris, a racist/bigot and White Supremacist, who now hosts his radio program on the Jeff Rense network. Rense, another propagandist and longtime  supporter/promoter of White Supremacist David Duke ("former"KKK) and others of Duke's ilk, has also forged an alliance with Gordon Duff. Need I say more?

 

Before he jumped on Duff's bandwagon, Stew's longtime cohort was Tom Heneghan, who bills himself as an "International Intelligence Expert."  Heneghan is a former campaign manager for Al Gore, the psycho-babbling, gun-grabbing leftist who never defended the Constitution a day in his life, but who certainly violated his oath to defend it on countless occasions. 

 

Heneghan has also been libeling/slandering Barbara Hartwell since 2006. Were it possible, his outrageous lies trump even those of Stew Webb, who has accused me of being a "CIA hit woman", and claims I am still "on the payroll at Langley", according to his "U.S. Intel" sources.  (Tell that to the Salvation Army, whose Christian charity I have had no choice but to gratefully accept, in order to put food on the table.)

 

Heneghan has accused Barbara Hartwell, of all things, of being part of an "Israeli spy ring", which he and Webb broadcast on various radio programs, including Cloak and Dagger (Lenny Bloom aka Nelson Thall) and the Hal Turner Network. (Hal Turner, the FBI informant, now doing prison time since his fed masters decided to "retire" him.) And Heneghan and Webb have posted other filthy lies, including that I am "working" with the notorious fed snitch, career criminal, predicate felon, psycho-stalker, Timothy Patrick White, who has in fact been engaging in criminal harassment, and vicious libel/slander against Barbara Hartwell since 2001. 

 

Did I leave anything out? A lot, actually, but there's only so much I can include in one report.

 

But wait, I can't forget this one...

Barbara Hartwell and Ken Adachi FBI CIA Stooge Game

The Good Cop Bad Cop Continues

Breaking News November 8, 2012

How deep are their pockets we all will find out very soon?

November 8, 2012 it seems that the Bush Crime Syndicate has an Old CIA Stooge Barbara Hartwell back in action doing slanderous statements against those who are exposing them and have filed suit against them. Barbara will be sued by me Stew Webb for slander and defamation of character soon.

Barbara Hartwell infiltrates people by playing friend then she passes all the information she can get to her Handler’s at CIA Headquarters.

Barbara Hartwell according to many U.S. Intel Officers say as of March 17, 2013 she still is on CIA payroll to infiltrate, slander the character of real Whistleblowers and others.

Beware anyone associated with her are probable stooges.

Scamsters, Spies and Trolls an Internet Story

Intelligence Organizations Partner with Internet Crime

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/12/09/scamsters-spies-and-trolls-an-internet-story/

 

Schwarz has been promoting Depleted Uranium as what our Military suffers from in Iraq. Depleted Uranium does not cause radiation poisoning. Only live Nukes will cause the Radiation Poisoning which is what Bush dropped on Iraq. Schwarz has now become nothing more than a liar and promoter of lies.

Among those being promised money by Schwarz is Barbara Hartwell who suddenly promotes Schwarz lies. Hartwell is now working with the Tim White-Schwarz crowd her so called enemy. Schwarz associate V.K. Durham has been talking directly with George H. W. Bush and Schwarz admitted this to Tom Flocco. Beware of this clown Schwarz. Schwartz laundered drug money from Hillary Clinton to the Republican National Committee. The American Revolution Continues.

******************

 

Now, for the truth.  As always, it is very simple: Webb and Heneghan started their libel campaign against Barbara Hartwell when I refused to become part of their operation to promote Al Gore, and refused to promote their bogus "news stories", which included the use of fabricated (forged)  documents, which they KNEW were not genuine, just as I did, having seen and assessed the original documents myself, before they were presented to Webb. Which happens to be among my areas of expertise, but certainly not of Heneghan and Webb, the so-called "international intelligence experts". But the point is, Webb and Heneghan are simply not hemmed in by the truth. Like Gordon Duff, they don't care what is true and what is false, only what serves their agenda du jour.

 

Now, Stew Webb has changed his position from staunchly supporting and blindly following, to "exposing" Tom Heneghan, for his "yellow journalism". No news flash there, I told Stew Webb back in 2005 exactly who and what Heneghan is, which is why I refused to get involved from the beginning of Stew's association with Heneghan. Stew disregarded my warning and eagerly allowed Heneghan to lead him down the primrose path, foolishly thinking Heneghan's false promises could be believed.

"Tom and I go back many years with a solid exposure of the truth."

 

No, I'm afraid not, Stew. The two of you were in collusion to promote outrageously false "news stories", geared not to "exposure of truth", but rather bilking your "fans" to support your scams and hoaxes, many of which have been exposed as such, including by Barbara Hartwell and associates.

 

Related by Stew Webb: "3 months ago I cut off all communications with Tom Heneghan."

"2 years ago I noticed a very distintive change in Tom Heneghan and quite providing information for his postings Tom and I go back many years with a solid exposure of the truth. But three months ago after Heneghan tried to drive a wedge between myself and others I cut him off….Heneghan’s side kick Mary Schnider cannot be trusted and tries also to drive wedges between people of which I have experienced her radical hatred for men…
This is the reason I no long post Tom Heneghan’s information on my website for 6 months 1/2 of what he and DHS Employee Mary Schnider claim is bull and many of his links in the past 6 months are full of tracking cookies and viruses….

Stew Webb Whistleblower"

Tom Heneghan, International Intelligence Expert
 

Tom Heneghan explosive intelligence briefings ALL patriot Americans MUST know, with sources inside American/European intelligence agencies and INTERPOL, reporting what is really going on behind the scenes of the corporate-controlled, fascist, extortion-friendly propaganda U.S. media’s massive deceptions.

--Promoted by Glenn Canady, government stooge & lackey of Stew Webb & promoter of Gordon Duff (November, 2012)

Note that Canady, who has also been a part of the libel campaign against Barbara Hartwell (still is), only on the say-so of Webb and Heneghan, is still promoting Heneghan at the time Stew Webb claims to have cut Heneghan off. More lies, more hypocrisy, more agenda politics.

 

So first, Stew Webb attacks VK Durham (2005-6), apparently only because she was talking to Karl Schwarz. Then, he decides that he has found greener pastures, and switches sides once again, now that VK Durham has allied herself with Lee Wanta, and against Tom Heneghan. And now that Gordon Duff has become a mouthpiece for the Wanta-Durham alliance. How convenient. And how  very typical...any way the wind blows, there listeth Stew Webb...

 

But before I move along to VK Durham, here is the testimony of my friend Geral Sosbee, which he contributed to a report I wrote (2012) exposing the many lies, the libel and slander of Stew Webb, and his threats to file a libel/RICO lawsuit against Barbara Hartwell. Just as a number of other government-sponsored criminals have done, including former senator/CIA black ops John DeCamp, CIA agents Ronald and Mary Ann Cerra. Why? Because I exposed their many crimes against persons, including innocent children, which they were desperate to keep covered up. 

 

TESTIMONY OF FORMER FBI AGENT GERAL SOSBEE

 

This message is in support of my very best friend in this life, the splendid Barbara Hartwell, and against Stew Webb who is our former mutual friend.

 

I first met Barbara on line when I was being tortured by psyops, various bio/viral assaults, and other assaults and battery on my person by fbi street thugs in Los Angeles, California. The goal of the fbi was to drive me insane, or to kill me. Barbara and I immediately became friends, more than a decade ago, and our close professional association has increased every day since then.

 

Briefly stated, Barbara stayed a constant and loyal ally during the worst time in my life when the fbi was trying to harm me and when everyone else abandoned me. Further, she helped me through the crisis that I was facing in my efforts to grasp the horrors confronting me by the fbi's 24/7 campaign of terror which continues today. For that and for her superb support of me (at her own great personal risk and cost) and of others who are similarly being tortured and murdered by the United States of America's intelligence community, she is truly a heroine & a liberator of mankind by showing all the world the cruel methods and murderous objectives of the fbi/cia/dod, etc.  I believe that history records Barbara Hartwell as one of the bravest and most spiritually blessed leaders of our time and that her service to humanity is beyond compare.

 

Now when a one time friend of Barbara attacks her, as Stew Webb recently did on a radio show, as documented by Barbara, I am reminded of the many instances when Barbara came to my defense (and to the defense of many others) under attack by so-called friends. One such example in my life was the psyop campaign run against me by one Charles Bruce Stewart who pretended to befriend me at a time when I needed a friend, then abruptly turned against me for no apparent reason and attacked me in a most vile manner. Barbara addressed the fraud of Charles Stewart and suggested to him that he has no right to attack me and no legitimate basis to do so.

 

See:

 

http://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2006/11/ex-fbi-whistleblower-attacked-by-former.html

 

The recent claim on air by Stew Webb that Barbara engaged in certain criminal conduct [including murder] when she was associated with the CIA is one of the most blasphemous lies I have ever witnessed and I cannot withhold my contempt for Webb's low verbal assault on Barbara Hartwell.

 

I first met Stew Webb through  my contact with Barbara; I drove from my residence in LA to Las Vegas to meet Webb in person because I felt that he was a bright and promising figure in the resistance efforts against the fbi/cia assassins (including the Bush clan mafia group which underpinned the presidencies of both Bush men). I found Stew Webb to be very knowledgeable on numerous issues and to possess a wealth of information on corruption in government.

 

I also learned to my dismay that Stew Webb is arrogant and self possessed beyond reason. For example, at one point during my visit with Webb, he interrupted the dialogue by invoking the name of God to chastise me for my language. In doing so, he displayed a disrespect for my personal boundaries that all civil men should honor and I felt that I was in the wrong place in his company. I cut short my visit with Webb, but I remained friendly with him until he turned against Barbara.

 

I point out parenthetically that a verbal attack by a former friend hurts a great deal, and Webb knows that he inflicted pain on Barbara by his lies against her on the air. His complete disrespect for the personal boundaries of Barbara Hartwell, as shown in the radio show referenced above, is as despicable as it is unforgivable; for what can motivate a man to try to destroy a former friend with lies and contrived calumny by association.

 

Stew Webb should apologize and retract his absurd, libelous lies against Barbara and he should get in closer touch with the God on whose behalf he pretends to speak from time to time. God is never a party to evil and Stew Webb has crossed into that domain (absent God's company) by his gratuitous lies against one of America's national treasures & spiritual giants, Barbara Hartwell.

VK Durham & Lee Wanta Unite Against Heneghan Blog's Yellow Journalism Promoting Civil Unrest (August 2013)

“Give the American people the truth and they will always find the best, most constitutional answer to any problem,” 

--V.K. Durham, from above article

Now, we have VK Durham. During the time I was posting my material on Rumor Mill News, I gave some of my time and efforts to supporting VK. VK sought me out only because I was former CIA, as far as I could see. I supported her because I believed her stories about what the government had done to her and her husband, and I certainly empathized with her.

However, I soon realized that I was being exploited for a political agenda, one that had nothing to do with the most important principles for which I stand: Defending Liberty and God-given unalienable rights.

VK used to call me numerous times, at all hours of the day and night, and expected me to drop everything to listen to her rants, while she barked orders at me over the line. Finally, I had enough and cut her off.

Here, a report I posted on Rumor Mill News (2003), which clearly explains my position, and which exposes VK Durham's agenda politics.

I should also mention the fact that Rayelan Allan, the editor of Rumor Mill News, after I had resigned my posting privileges, in disgust, due to the selective censorship and harassment by meddlesome New Age busybodies, also came out as an apologist for GW Bush, making the absurd statement that he was part of "Faction 2", which would save us from the New World Order, and even went so far as to condone the Patriot Act, encouraging her followers to do the same. But what else can be expected from Rumor Mill News, a government-disinfo site, controlled opposition all the way.
 

POSITION STATEMENT ON VK DURHAM BY BARBARA HARTWELL

POSTED ON RUMOR MILL NEWS (2003)
 
I find it necessary to respond to public allegations about myself made by VK Durham, some of which have been posted on the RM News Forum; some in the Daily Updates and others which have been sent to large e-mail lists.

Let me make it clear that I do not presume to speak for anyone but myself. My only purpose is to set the record straight about my OWN position as regards these issues.

I have no animosity toward VK Durham and my intent is not to try to discredit her nor any of the accurate and truthful information she may have made public to date.

However, since it appears that I have irreconcilable differences with VK, regarding the larger issues, I do feel the need to clarify my own position and to refute any inaccurate statements she may have published about me personally.
For starters, VK has repeatedly publicly stated that she stands behind and supports President G.W. Bush.

As for my own position re Bush, here are my comments in response to a posting written by VK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SURELY YOU JEST?!
 
Sorry, V.K. but with all due respect, I must beg to differ. This is no reflection on your credibility or bona fides as regards the accurate information and facts you have exposed about the Ekkers and their GAIA cult.

No, this is a different issue altogether. In good conscience, as a patriot and defender of the Constitution, I cannot possibly support GW Bush's treasonous actions. The simple facts are there for all with eyes to see and ears to hear:
The president is a traitor, a liar and a coward. He and his political cronies have betrayed our country by passing unconstitutional legislation, in the form of the USA Patriot Act and he has allowed the Department of Homeland Security to become a de facto enforcement agency for the police state which is now the REALITY in our country.

He has failed to honor his sacred oath to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. There's really NO EXCUSE and nothing left to say that could possibly justify his actions.

As for that 'twinkle' in his eye....I saw the State of the Union Address on Tuesday night. Looked more to me like a cocaine glaze.

And as far as G.W. Bush having 'balls' ???? He hasn't got the ones he was born with. He's nothing but a puppet on a string. But whatever game he thinks he's playing, with the economy or with any other aspect of our lives, it sure isn't a "SHOWDOWN".

The REAL showdown will be between the REAL Patriots who are willing to die, if necessary, to defend our Constitution and protect the hard-won liberties our founding fathers fought and shed their blood for.

Now, whether you're a man or a woman, THAT takes balls.

GOD BLESS THE PATRIOTS & DON'T TREAD ON ME!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

There you have it... my sentiments about G.W. Bush, in a nutshell....and I can't make it any clearer than that.

But this was not the first time I have disagreed with VK. In order to demonstrate the nature of these disagreements, I will start with excerpts from some e-mail exchanges between myself, Richard (Patriotlad) and Rayelan. I will include only that written by myself and VK Durham, so as to respect the privacy and confidentiality of Rayelan and Richard.

The dispute started, at least for me, when VK aggressively attempted to persuade myself, Rayelan and Richard that she thought that the three of us should be using ALL our time and energy to publicize HER case and disseminate HER material and that we "should" be following HER agenda, while putting our own priorities on the back burner.

All of us repeatedly assured her that we were on her side; had done all we could to support her; sympathized and empathized with all the harm done to her, especially the murder of her husband, Russell Herman.

However, none of us were WILLING or ABLE to just DROP EVERYTHING and take orders from VK, which is clearly what she expected us to do, individually and collectively.

To begin, here are some excerpts from an e-mail message I wrote as a response to VK, Rayelan and Richard. My comments are preceded by my initials, BH. VK's comments are preceded by her intials, VKD and enclosed in brackets.

BH:

First, the main reason that I paid serious attention to VK's information to begin with was because of Richard. I didn't know VK but I do know Richard and know that he is a serious, professional researcher and journalist with a knowledge of the subjects on which he writes. He also presented the material with editorial comments which explained the story and the facts, which otherwise I would NOT have understood.

I don't know the Ekkers, but have dealt with people connected to them. And I do know a lot of these UFO cult people and know that many of them are being run by CIA. I did UFO research from about 1986 and had many of the 'contactees' abductees and researchers on my radio and TV shows.

CIA and AF Intel were very upset with me because I exposed much of their disinfo re the UFO cults and I had evidence from field research that the underground bases were military-style black ops with high-tech equipment, etc. etc. and a lot of the UFOs were U.S. gov't, not aliens. I have not even begun to publish anything about that stuff, I just haven't found the time.....

I can only take on so much work and have to choose my projects and battles carefully. I was happy to assist VK in any way I could, since I believe her to be sincere, as long as it didn't require large blocks of my time. I also know virtually nothing about the financial end. All I could do was evaluate her material and when she asked me to post it, choose the pieces I felt comfortable with which relate in some way to what I DO know about.

There are many people who contact me with requests that I investigate cases, help them publicize their material, etc. etc. Maybe VK doesn't realize that she is but ONE of many such people. I tell most people I just don't have the time, and I can't afford to work for no pay. It is not that I don't have interest; it's not that I am questioning VK's bona fides or her intent...I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME.

I can only do so much. I am methodical and slow because if I present info, especially that of someone else, I need to make sure it is done in such a way that will be of value to people and engage their interest. Like Richard and Rayelan I am a professional journalist, and we all have our own way of doing things. I also have my own priorities and no one can establish those for me, but ME. I don't work FOR anyone, only occasionally WITH someone.

I don't know if VK understands this, but I am literally at this time so poverty stricken I cannot afford food!  Yesterday I went to the market and could only get cat food, not anything for myself.

I still don't have enough to pay this month's rent and am stalling for time with the landlord. I have no idea IF I will be able to stop a total crash financially, IF my phones and electric will be shut off, IF I will be able to pay the car insurance, and on and on.....

I also still have not recovered from the latest illness. Unless I can find some way to be paid for my work, I won't be doing this much longer, if only just because I will have no base of operations to work from. I am in a brutal struggle just for survival and it can't go on much longer this way.

I can't just put everything else on hold and give all my time and energy to this project. So many people want a piece of my time, and I just have to parcel it out as best I can.

I know that ALL of us have been screwed by the gov't, some perhaps worse than others. I know that I have a lot in common with Rayelan and VK, as to some of the persecution and atrocities committed against us.

Yes, VK and Rayelan lost their husbands. CIA murdered both my parents, though I can't prove that. No one of us is more "important" than the others, at least not in my view. As far as I can see, we all have our stories to tell, information to share and we all have the best interests of our country and citizens at heart.

The issues VK presents are very important, no doubt, but I also know that the rest of us have other issues we feel the need to address and to us, those issues are equally important.

I am barely able to do what I do now without exhausting myself. I usually work 10-12 hours a day, weekends too.

I haven't had a vacation in over ten years, have no social life, all I do is work.
So I can only hope that VK might understand this when evaluating the whole situation. I'd still be happy to use some of her material, if and when it is appropriate, but other than that, there's nothing more I can do, not until and IF I am able to stabilize my OWN situation.

Excerpts from VK's response.
 
VKD:
 

"BARBARA.
EXCUSES DO NOT GET IT, WHEN YOU DO NOT GET THE VITAL INFORMATION NEEDED BY THE PEOPLE POSTED.

THIS NATION IS "AT WAR." IT IS A FINANCIAL & ECONOMIC WAR. WE, as a Nation, are fighting for our VERY EXISTENCE.

Barbara, look at it this way; In a battle, if the amunition bearer falls, does another sit on the sidelines and refuse to provide the AMUNITION NEEDED TO DEFEND THE POSITION, and cry "I" don't feel like doing it right now.. I have this and that I must take care of before I PROVIDE THE AMMUNITION TO THE FRONT LINES FOR SELF DEFENSE? I don't think BATTLE is like that Barbara. You get off your dead end and PASS THE AMUNITION to HOLD THE LINE OF DEFENSE!

I do not have the luxury of "not feeling well" or any other excuse I might find convenient to "lay down on the job."

I am not in this for EGO. My agenda is KEEP THIS NATION FROM GOING DOWN. It should be all of the agents on RMNews AGENDA ALSO. I do not contend with "egos" or "excuses" very well, not when a JOB HAS TO BE DONE THAT WILL PROVIDE THE AMUNITION TO THE FRONT LINE OF DEFENSE OF THIS NATION OF PEOPLE.
These latest articles have been posted on RM Updates; NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU COULD LET GO OF YOUR "EGO'S" or whatever to POST THIS PERMANENTLY on RMNews? So much for PATRIOTISM"
 
Excerpts from my response to VK.
 
BH:

No, VK, I'm sorry but you do NOT understand. We do not ALL have the 'same financial problems'. Are you about to lose the roof over your head? Do you have food in your icebox? Are you about to lose your phone, internet service and electric power?

You can accuse me of 'non-productivity'??? I really tried to keep my temper, but this is too much!

I wish you the best with what you need to do, but with an attitude like you have, of NO RESPECT and seemingly little sensitivity to others' needs or feelings, there's nothing more I can do to help you.

I am not a satellite which revolves around another person's agenda or what he or she thinks is most important, when it may not be the most important thing to me personally. I can't stop a financial meltdown in the nation, no matter what I do. I may not even be able to stop the worst from happening in my OWN life. My life is hanging by a thread, I need to take care of my own problems before I can help anybody else.
 
Excerpts from message to myself, Rayelan and Richard.

VKD:

"Will you "children" quit playing these childish games? I am appreciative of what you have each done, however, at this time you are acting like "prima Donna's"..
Here you are nit picking with me? I am the last person you should be "nit picking with." You admit I have many years of research ahead of you... WHY DO YOU KEEP EDITING that which WAS RESEARCHED FOR 28 YEARS?

Please, get rid of this "ego trip all of you are on." This is so dammed destructive to the overall agenda, it will ultimately allow the BLACK HATS to win.

This is so childish of all of you. What a shame. I thought you were professionals...-- Again, I was wrong."
 
My final response to VK in this thread of messages:

BH:

VK, I am not going to argue this thing back and forth, I have neither the time nor the inclination, but I will respond this one last time.

I do not make 'excuses' to anyone, nor am I required to do so; nor do I even owe anyone an explanation. I was only trying to explain my position in a courteous and respectful manner, in the hope that you would understand. You don't, but that's no longer my problem.

My problems have nothing to do with my ego, they have to do with SURVIVAL but you apparently don't understand that either. And for me, this is not just a 'financial and economic war' as you say. I've been in this war all my life, and for me it's a spiritual war. To each his own.....

The last time I checked, I was not a soldier in anyone's army, including yours. But your attitude is like that of a C.O. who expects the 'good soldiers' --namely, me Rayelan and Richard-- to snap to! every time a directive is issued....

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

RM News is not the only website on the net and we are not the only journalists in the country. Speaking strictly for myself, as I don't know how Rayelan or Richard feel about this, I suggest you find some good soldiers elsewhere.
 

I truly wish you all the best, love and God's blessings.
 
More responses from VK.

VKD:
 
"What in the world is wrong with you people?

This world involves more people than Rayelan, Richard, Barbara.. People rely heavily upon each of us! This is not a time for this bull crap! You were a military wife! You know what the rules of engagement are! You also know WHEN AMMUNITION IS NEEDED ON THE FRONT LINES, AS THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE; YOU DO NOT LEAVE THE AMMUNITION SITTING ON THE DAMMED WAGONS BECAUSE "YOU HAVE A HANGNAIL."

You people have sorely let the people of this country down. The People rely heavily on you for getting the information to them that REGULAR MEDIAS "CONCEAL FROM THEM."
I really do not have time for these childish games.

I would have, and have supported you until HELL FROZE OVER. But for this show of pettyness & childishness at this nations HOUR OF NEED.. I am at loss as to what further to say."
 
Now let's move on to excerpts from the recent public postings and messages written by VK Durham. My comments follow.

"All of you have "keys" and "bits and pieces"..of THE CAUSE of this current mess confronting all of us at this time in regards to the GLOBAL WARFARE OF ECONOMICS & BANKING.....

Barbara, it is very clear, you are not aware of any of this, or you would not have responded as you did yesterday."
 
BH:

I have never claimed to be knowledgeable about economic matters. This is not my area of expertise. But my response (my comments about NOT supporting the treason of G.W. Bush, given above) would certainly have been made under ANY circumstances, regardless of what I know and understand --or don't--about economic matters or other issues addressed by VK Durham.

My position is based on my OWN knowledge, many years of personal experience, research and areas of professional expertise. More importantly, I am and will remain, a patriot and defender of the Constitution, against all enemies foreign and domestic until the day I die.
 
VKD:

"You had better read what has been posted. This is no time for "ego's" of the FEMALE'S. I know what went on regarding BONUS 3392-181. You guys know what you know, and it sure as hell is NOT BONUS 3392-181."
 
BH:

No, I do not know about the bonus. As for 'egos of the females', that is a non-issue. My gender is irrelevant and my ego has nothing to do with my position.
 
VKD: 

"We have a problem with UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES which effect us all. This is why I keep pounding "UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL."
 
BH:

United on WHOSE agenda? Who appointed VK Durham as Commanding Officer for the rest of us?

Speaking strictly for myself, I do not 'unite' with anyone unless that individual concurs with my principles, and vice versa. United we Stand is in fact the latest motto of the Bush administration, in an effort to force citizens to march willingly into his Police State and endorse his warmongering and tyrannical, treasonous and outright pathological behavior. On that, count me out!
 
VKD:

"Right now, I am "guarding the backside" of the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY. I would do the same if it were CLINTON under the same set of circumstances."
 
BH:

Fine, that's her choice. That's HER decision and HER position, not mine.
 
VKD: 
 
"THE AL QAEDA-AL KADA mess has been tossed into the air, and it will, I assure you, it WILL FALL ON THE SHOULDERS OF THOSE "WHO DROPPED THE NATIONAL SECURITY BALL."

First, I must explain to Ms. Hartwell, my statement earlier made that she was not fully informed to wit.

There has never been the "option" of airing "personal issues-grievances" to the American People. NATIONAL SECURITY came first."
 
BH:

My duty as a patriot is to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, NOT to protect so-called "National Security". As I have stated publicly since 1994, any 'National Security' oaths I may have taken, either by verbal consent, or signed by me, were taken under coercion, duress and/or mind control. I feel absolutely NO loyalty to the corrupt bastards (including members of the Bush Crime Family) who forced me into these 'agreements' against my will.
 
VKD:

"All of us are aware of the GROSS MISTREATMENT and ABUSE received by MS. HARTWELL. Ms. Hartwell was also TRAINED not to allow PERSONAL HURTS & GRIEVANCES to CLOUD HER JUDGMENT."
 
BH:
 
Well, VK got at least one thing right. Yes, I was trained in this manner. I was taught to compartmentalize and dissociate from my feelings. Otherwise they could not have utilized me in Psychological Operations as an intelligence analyst, much less as a field operative.

What VK apparently does NOT understand is that my personal grievances do NOT cloud my judgment and never have. Anyone who knows me well, including Rayelan and Richard, can attest to this.

In my public presentations I deal with facts, evidence and the testimony of reliable witnesses. This is how I form my judgments. I certainly have my emotions, but I am not RULED by those emotions, whether I choose to express my personal feelings publicly or not.
 
VKD:

"You "former agents" have the ability to MOVE OUT and use PUBLIC OPINION to do that which was ORDERED by PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY; "RE-OPEN THE U.S. HOUSE OF UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES AND INVESTIGATE BY A "FULL, FORMAL, FEDERAL INVESTIGATION THESE ISSUES OF UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES."
 
BH:

I do not take my 'orders' from any human entity or agency, including orders long ago issued by JFK. My 'orders' come from God, as received by me in prayer and meditation.
 
VKD:

"Even though all of us have SUFFERED BEYOND ANY "CIVILIAN'S" COMPREHENSION, it is our DUTY to CONTINUE doing that which we SET OUT TO DO.

I have formally retired. This is my last posting regarding these issues. It is now INCUMBENT upon all of you who TOOK THE OATH to DO YOUR DUTY."
 
BH:

Yes, I have suffered a living hell. But my duty, AS DETERMINED BY ME, is to defend our God-given INHERENT rights and freedoms, NO MATTER WHAT ELSE MAY BE GOING ON.
 
VKD:
 
"Then, there is the matter of BARBARA and her HOSTILITIES at the "WHATEVER'S".. which bleeds out into outright rage. We all know each have been hurt tremendously by these parties that we are all fighting; BUT DAMMIT! YOU DO NOT SIT AND SUCK YOUR THUMB and THROW CHILDISH TEMPER TANTRUMS just because someone has HARD, IRREFUTABLE, UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE regarding WHAT IS, AND HAS GONE ON..."
 
BH:
 
It would appear to me that VK Durham is the one throwing the 'childish tantrums' in her 'rage' and frustration that I and others will not blindly follow her lead. I am very capable of doing my own critical thinking and making my own decisions and I am not required to recognize VK Durham --or anyone else-- as an external authority in my life. Her attitude to me is disrespectful and arrogant.

In summary, just let me say that I support Rayelan in her decision to revoke VK Durham's posting privileges in the RM News Daily Updates, as VK had taken over the whole message board to the point that there was NO ROOM left for anyone else.

Some of the people posting there complained that RM News public message board had gone downhill because VK Durham and her issues were monopolizing the board.

As for myself, I have more important issues to address and other priorities than VK Durham and her agenda. I bear no malice against VK in my heart. I sincerely wish her the best and all of God's blessings.

But this "child" has no intention of further draining my precious time and energy in arguments and conflicts with VK.

And that's about all I have to say.

Thanks Y'all, for listening and God bless.

Now, to 2008, and the 'election' of the unconstitutional usurper, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama. Here, an excerpt from a report (2008), in which VK Durham's glowing accolade for Obama is included, as an example of exactly the mentality which is destroying this country. So much for VK Durham's "patriotism" and her defense of the Constitution...just more agenda politics, more of the same old, same old...

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA: NEW AGE LUCIFERIAN MESSIAH

NOTE: I am reposting this report from November, 2008, exposing Barack Hussein Obama. 

http://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2010/06/barack-hussein-obama-new-age-luciferian.html

   

Why? Because all that I have predicted about the communist usurper is coming true, with a vengeance. Because I am absolutely disgusted with the utter stupidity, the lunacy, the idiocy, of the New Age Obama sycophants, especially those like James F. Marino and the "news agents" of Rumor Mill News (see their comments on Obama here) who have vilified Barbara Hartwell and others who issued the same warnings.

 

As far as I am concerned, the leftists and liberals, the communists, the socialists, the progressives, the proponents of "democracy"...all of them are mentally ill. It is a form of insanity to defend any form of political ideology that would even begin to encroach on the God-given rights of the Individual.

Are these morons happy now? Somehow, I don't think so. But they will have to live with the knowledge that they will be held accountable by those of us who stand for the Truth, and who defend Liberty with no compromises.

To all those who defended, promoted and embraced Barack Hussein Obama:

May we forget that you were our countrymen.

 

RUMOR MILL NEWS

 

CHANGE HAS COME. A NEW BROOM; A CLEAN SWEEP

 

By: V.K. Durham

A new broom did a 'clean sweep' making history happened in this 2008 presidential election.. We saw a young man declare his principles which we also heard from another young presidential hopeful many years ago.. that being John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

As we mingled with Americans of our generation who, in the 1950's-60's fought for Equal Rights. We heard the same voices we heard all those many years when Thurgood Marshall and our groups who years ago were speaking out against "Un-Equality and In-Justice", who were voicing thier reasons for supporting this young black American running for the office of the president of the United States..being the same as ours those many years ago.

As the world watch's.. We as Americans must "practice what we have preached" around the world.. As the world watch's.. Black Americans now have that chance to "practice what they preach" regarding Global Peace, Jobs, Housing, Education, Equality, Health Care, Equal Protection and etc..

We must go forward into a new generation of World Leaders who claim to speak the new language of the Old Democratic form of Government.. We must do so .. for if we do not.. God help us all.. the People will not support more corruption, more despotism, or more omnipitance from those in offices of public trust in Washington, District of Columbia.. which in essence was the reason the WE the People spoke so loudly voting thier choice of Representation in THE WHITE HOUSE in 2008.

Barack Obama makes history

Obama speaks as the first black president-elect, affirming that "change has come."

SELLING OUT AMERICA

 

You political hacks and media whores, with your agenda politics, your scams and hoaxes, your backroom deals and bogus news stories, you who willfully and knowingly promote false information, as well as promoting your fellow liars who are peddling it, at the expense of those of us who love this country, who stand only for the truth, and are willing to fight to the death to secure Liberty for our children and grandchildren, there is NO EXCUSE for you.

 

In your self-interested pursuit of all your political shenanigans, of ego-gratification and material riches, it may have escaped your notice that people are being tortured and persecuted, right here in America, simply for standing in defense of what we hold most dear: Our God-given rights and liberties. I know and love many of those people, they are my friends and family.

 

And when I die, as I'm sure I will, possibly sooner than later, as a direct result of the government's longterm and continuing assaults on me --including, but not limited to the fact that they have driven me into such dire poverty that, having no support whatsoever I can rely on from anyone, I haven't much of a chance even to survive-- my blood will be on your hands, as will the blood of all others whose lives you helped to destroy with your calumny, your lies, and your offensive against our precious Sovereign Liberty.

 

May we forget you were  our countrymen.

FINAL DISCONNECT: DONATIONS NEEDED

 

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

 

Last week I received a final disconnect notice for my Internet server and telephone. The service is scheduled to be shut off on August 10, if I cannot pay the overdue bill, two months in arrears, by August 9. For the past two months I have received donations from a supporter of Dr. Antonella Carpenter, for whom I am co-host of the weekly radio program, The Medical Conspiracy, but that was the limit that the supporter was able to give.

 

Dr. Carpenter, who was wrongfully targeted for a Federal Grand Jury Investigation last year, has lost almost everything as a result of years of persecution by the feds. Her business, Lase Med Inc. was shut down after a raid by FDA in July 2012. She lost not only her business, but her home and two vehicles as well, leaving her bereft of all she needed to earn a living and support herself and her family, who also lost their jobs as associates of Lase Med Inc.

 

She has been brutally harassed, stalked, libeled/slandered, by minions of corrupt feds, the Medical Mafia and Big Pharma, whose intent was to put her out of business and stop her from offering her revolutionary treatment for cancer, which does no harm, saves lives, and costs a fraction of the fees for standard medical treatments of chemo, radiation and surgery (mutilation), which in most cases ends up killing the patient, after tremendous pain and suffering.

 

The one venue that remains to continue her fight for the truth and justice is her radio program.

   

The Medical Conspiracy

 

http://medicalconspiracy.com/

 

Saturdays 3-5 PM Eastern Time

 

 

I have been a supporter of Dr. Carpenter since I first appeared as a guest on her program in 2012, and was later invited to be her co-host, as an expert in counterintelligence operations, which have been the primary source of trouble (including financial destitution) in her life, and my own.

 

The federal government is destroying lives, one by one, especially of whistleblowers exposing their corruption.

 

Our fight against this pervasive corruption is not limited to seeing justice done for ourselves, but for all who suffer under tyranny. We defend the God-given unalienable rights of the Individual, including the right to choose our own medical care, with no interference or coercion from Big Government.

 

I have been personally reduced to a state of poverty such that I have had to seek assistance from Christian charities to meet most of my needs, including food. The Salvation Army paid a portion of my electric bill, after I got the final disconnect notice last month, being three months in arrears. However, if I don't pay more of what I owe in September, my power will be shut off.

 

If I lose my Internet and telephone service I will be left with no communications and will not be able to continue as a co-host on Dr. Carpenter's radio program. I have chosen to dedicate much of my time and efforts to supporting Dr. Carpenter, and I would be very distressed, should I have to give up this work, for lack of funding.

 

As well, I would not be able to continue my work in exposing CIA agents and their minions, who have relentlessly persecuted my sister Irene, whom they have also driven into a state of poverty and inability to earn a living.

 

So please, if you are able to help with donations, it will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your consideration, and God bless you.

WAR STORIES: In Defense of God-given Unalienable Individual Rights

 

My Personal Battle for Privacy & Sovereignty

 

 

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.

 

Isaiah 61:1

  

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

 

2 Corinthians 3;17

 

And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,

"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,

and enlarge my territory,

that Your hand would be with me,

and that You would keep me from evil,

that I may not cause pain!"

So God granted him what he requested.

  

1 Chronicles 4:10

 

In 1994, I was able to break out of CIA operations, permanently. As I've stated in my previous reports, my escape (the most accurate word I can use) from CIA was not a sudden event, but happened in increments, after many years of battle with my handlers and the evil forces behind the MK Ultra program, under which I received much of my early training in intelligence work.

 

I had engaged in intense supernatural warfare, I had prayed for deliverance and God answered my prayers. Most of the people who were part of my life at that time had not been told about the double life I had been leading, in fact, for my entire adult life. I was still operating under the "code of silence", for the most part, for which my previous indoctrination had been a powerful deterrent from speaking out, at least specifically regarding CIA.

 

But the events of that time period were such that I could not help but confide in certain of my closest friends --I needed assistance. I was being persecuted, had been driven into dire poverty, a result of the neutralization campaign being waged against me. I was running for my life, from place to place, and to complicate matters, I had nine (9) cats to support. These animals were my family, in every real sense of the word, as beloved as any human being to me, and in every decision I made, I had to put their welfare first. I have would died, rather than abandon my cats.

 

Much of my professional work for many years had been conducted "outside" of CIA, and aside from earning a living for myself, served as a sort of cover for the operations I was involved in. Among other things, I had a private practice in spiritual/pastoral counseling, and later as a Jungian analyst.

 

In order to become a Jungian analyst, one must not only be trained in the discipline, but the candidate is required to go through two years of personal analysis, which I completed in 1993.

 

That was also the year my mother died. That time was marked by many extreme changes in my life. I had cut my hair (which then fell below my hips) to shoulder length, as a token of mourning for my mother's death. 

 

My analyst was an exceptional man, without whose support I might never have been able to cope with all the crises in my life. It took me awhile to tell him about the government, what they had done to me, to others in my family, as trust was always a serious issue for me, and because I had been previously psychologically abused by CIA psychiatrists, since childhood, perpetrators in the MK Ultra program. 

 

My analyst had the rare gift not only of profound understanding of the mysterious workings of the psyche, but also of spiritual discernment. He was able to recognize that the problems I was experiencing were not due to any "mental" unbalance, but were a direct result of outside forces and circumstances, namely the government agents who had made my life a living hell. 

 

He saw the truth: that I was standing alone against powerful enemies in positions of authority, who were hell-bent on destroying my life. He once told me, You are one of the most sane and solidly grounded persons I have ever known. What's more, rather than try to dissuade me from fighting back, as so many other people had done, he respected my decision to stand up against the evildoers and seek justice.  Considering that some of the stories I told him were bizarre, to say the least, the fact that he believed me, and understood what was actually happening to me, made a world of difference in my life.

 

PROFILE OF A BUSYBODY

 

However, in that terrible time, during which I had been repeatedly uprooted, and during which most of any support (materially and otherwise) I previously had was ripped away, I was further stressed by the relationships I had with friends who not only had no real understanding of me as an individual, but who also took it upon themselves to engage in outrageous interference in my personal/professional affairs.

 

In other words, they were busybodies. In fact, busybodies have in many ways been the bane of my existence, for as far back as I can remember. I have written numerous reports on the activities of busybodies. I have constructed psychological profiles on the nature of busybodies. And unfortunately, these people, both individually and collectively, have done as much damage, have stirred up as much trouble, as any bona fide government agents I have ever known.

 

Why? Because busybodies very simply DO NOT RESPECT THE PRIVACY, THE PERSONAL BOUNDARIES OR THE FUNDAMENTAL GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

 

(Just like the government.)

 

Based on many years of personal/professional experience, it is my opinion that busybodies labor under a particular type of psychopathology, a sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Their profound lack of respect --or even acknowledgment of--  the personal boundaries of others stems, first and foremost, from their own lack of solid grounding in Individual Personhood. 

 

Not having developed this fundamental core of integrity in themselves, they fail to recognize it in others. They therefore tend to project their own subjective  values, their own opinions, their own viewpoints, and their own weaknesses and character flaws on everyone around them.

 

Worse, they attempt to force their own subjective opinions and worldview on others. Their behavior displays an arrogance, a self-righteousness, which always ends up alienating those persons from whom they most seek love and approval.  Busybodies are approval seekers and people-pleasers, who follow not the eternal laws of God, but the dictates and temporal whims of men.

 

Busybodies are collectivists, rather than champions of Individual rights and liberties. They are "team players", seekers of  "consensus", who tend to gravitate toward the leftist politics of liberalism, progressivism, socialism and even communism, and are often proponents of the New Age Movement, or supporters of the United Nations. They fail to recognize that the New Age movement is not about "spiritual enlightenment", but is simply another tentacle of the Octopus; that it is an indoctrination system of the New World Order, which seeks to expunge individual rights, thus enslaving the populace under globalist totalitarianism.

 

Secular humanism, myriad forms of pop-psychology, motivational psychology, self-help courses and books ad infinitum, all geared toward "self-improvement" or "spiritual enlightenment" attract them like a swarm of bees, just as the hive-mentality prevails among them. Positive thinking. Prosperity Consciousness.  Create your own Reality. The Law of Attraction. The Ascension...etc. etc. etc. They seem to be on an endless and ever-changing quest for a perfect  "formula" by which to live their lives.

 

But where is God in all these humanist ideologies and contrived systems of thought? 

 

The Personal Living God, who created the heavens and the earth, Who knows the very number of hairs on their heads, Who knows their needs before they pray, Who sees every sparrow that falls, and Who holds the power to deliver them from evil, to bestow His blessings, to answer their prayers, to forgive their sins and save them by His grace.

 

It is God Who has bestowed on each and every Individual the very rights and liberties, the free will, to live as one sees fit, as long as they are not violating the rights of another.

 

As for those who fail to respect the rights of the Individual, whose misplaced will for power and control in their own lives manifests as aggression against others (meddling, invasions of privacy, violations of trust) and makes of them petty tyrants, they --both individually and collectively, who apparently cannot distinguish what is right from what is wrong, what is good from what is evil-- are at the root of more suffering, more injustice, than they can imagine, all the while believing they hold the moral high ground, as do-gooders with a "savior" complex.

 

LETTER TO A FORMER FRIEND

 

Recently I was sorting through boxes of files, searching for some documents, and deciding what to keep, and what should be burned. In the process I happened to find a letter I wrote, almost twenty years ago. It was addressed to someone with whom I'd had a close friendship, but which had ended when she chose to abandon me, rather than be willing to respect my privacy, my personal boundaries, even my fundamental rights.

 

This is a story I know well, which sadly, has repeated itself over and over and over...

 

I decided to publish this letter because it could serve as a classic template, describing to a "T" the behavior of  "Busybodies I have known".  I have known quite a number of others since that time; their attitudes, their actions, and the trouble they always stirred up in other people's lives, predictable as the sunrise.

 

Rereading this letter, after so much time had passed, I realized that I had forgotten some of the details of the events of that time. Mostly, I had only remembered the feeling of betrayal and a lingering sadness at the loss of a friend. However, I was outraged afresh at the intrusive, disrespectful and totally indiscreet behavior of this individual.

 

I have forgiven her, in my heart, long ago. Nonetheless, I cannot forget, nor would want to try.

 

I have kept the letter in its original form, only removing the name of the recipient and certain  others to protect their privacy and mine. The rest speaks for itself.

*********************

October 1994 

 

I am writing this letter because it is important to me that I clearly explain my feelings in regard to what I once believed was a friendship between us. I don't necessarily expect that you will understand nor care about what I have to say. That's for you to decide, but I am writing this for my own sake.

 

I have felt deeply hurt and shocked by your most recent treatment of me: your betrayal of my trust, your disrespect of my rights as an individual and your disregard for my clearly stated wishes about my own life. So you may know what I am referring to, I will elaborate with a number of cases in point.

 

With what I believed were good intentions in wanting to help me out of a dire situation, you contacted some friends of mine whom you asked for money on my behalf. You had suggested this to me beforehand, at which time I clearly told you I did not feel comfortable about it. When you later told me you had done it --in spite of my wishes-- I reluctantly accepted it, as I told you then, but only in the belief that it was solely out of concern for me. But judging from the way you have treated me since that time, I feel that if you had truly cared about my well-being you could not possibly have shown so little respect for me, nor would you have gone from one extreme to another: first taking on the role of would-be "savior" (which I never wanted, needed or requested), then abruptly switching to a sudden total abandonment of any concern for me at all.

 

Your attitudes toward me, as well as your actions, whether coming from one extreme or the other, apparently had nothing to do with me. It now seems clear that you were projecting upon me your own beliefs, opinions and psychological  problems. 

 

The nature of my problems was material and circumstantial, not psychological, but you insisted on projecting your own feelings on me. You repeatedly made remarks which suggested that I was to blame for the financial problems besetting me. You tried to lecture me about "taking responsibility" for my life, admonishing me that I could not expect to be "dependent" on certain individuals forever. With all the zealotry of a fundamentalist, you preached to me about aspects of my life which you knew nothing about, often using your life as an example to illustrate your point. Irrespective of the fact that I don't need to follow anyone's example --and certainly not yours-- it was not your place to give me unsolicited advice, which only caused more stress for me, the last thing I needed.

 

The relationships, agreements, and arrangements (financial or otherwise) I have with particular individuals are my business exclusively, whether or not I choose to confide in anyone else regarding them. I chose to confide in you only because I believed you to be my friend. I thought then that you had at least some understanding of me and my situation. As you were well aware, the last thing I was seeking was advice.

 

You and I have very different viewpoints about many things. I have no problem with friends holding different viewpoints; in fact I would naturally expect it. But I do have a problem with someone trying to impose her particular viewpoint on me. And for you to do this was especially distressing to me under the miserable circumstances of my life at that time. My problems were never "confusion", "lack of clarity" about my situation, or refusal to "take responsibility" for my life. Yet you treated me as if advice from your totally erroneous perspective of my circumstances were some sort of remedial measure. My perspective never needed changing. I simply needed money. Poverty is not a mental disease. If you believe otherwise, so be it, but your personal, subjective beliefs had no relevance to the reality of the situation I was in.

 

You repeatedly insisted that I had other immediate options (which were in fact non-existent), or that there were alternatives to financial dependency on certain persons at that time. This was merely your opinion; a baseless conjecture backed by nothing of substance. But your attitude indicated more than just a total lack of understanding of me and my situation. You were placing blame on the victim --the last place it ever belongs.

 

You seem to have little respect for the privacy, the individuality, the integrity or the personal boundaries of others. Respect and loyalty, without which there cannot be true friendship-- at least according to my standards-- mean respecting another's right to make her own decisions, to hold her own beliefs, even if they are not in accordance with yours. Respect and loyalty also mean keeping a friend's confidences, especially when you know the person is trusting you to do so.

 

Since I last spoke to you I found out that you called my sister, although I had specifically asked you not to, after you had revealed to me that you had called others. Fortunately, she showed the good judgment in this instance to consult me, instead of making calls to my relatives, the Percivals in Virginia, which you had urged her to do, even after I had made it very clear to you that I did not want these individuals contacted. I am thankful that she knew better than to give you their telephone number, as then your meddling might have made a bad situation considerably worse. Since I told you that I did not want certain people called, I obviously must have had my reasons, and whether or not I chose to explain them to you, it was my right to decide, not yours.

 

You showed no respect for me, for my wishes, nor for my privacy. You treated me as if I were a recalcitrant child or a mental incompetent, unable to think for myself or know what was right --or wrong-- for me.

 

Just because someone is under severe stress, which at times can certainly drive a person to nervous exhaustion, does not mean she has lost control of her mental faculties, or that her basic sense of judgment is impaired. Nor does it mean she has forfeited her right to make her own decisions. In any event, nothing in my situation granted you the right to surreptitiously interfere --especially against what you knew to be my wishes --in my affairs. And you are certainly far from qualified to judge another person's mental state.

 

In the last phone conversation I had with you, I clearly explained that I did not want X to be given any further information about my business, as I had quickly discovered that confiding in her was a mistake. I asked you then not to discuss me or my business with her.

 

However, less than a week later, X called me and stridently informed me that the two of you had indeed been discussing me. Malicious gossip would be a more fitting description. According to her, you and she had agreed, in what seemed to be a general impeachment of my character, about how "selfish" I was, since my friendship with others was only "conditional". She accused me of caring only about myself, because in her view, if I cared about others I would care what they thought of me and would be open to taking their advice. This is a totally absurd concept.  Simply because I am not willing to allow others to coerce me or determine my course of action, in my own life, and because I care nothing about gaining approval from others, certainly does not mean I have no concern or caring for others.

 

She was evidently insulted because I had politely explained, on more than one occasion, that I was not in need of --nor seeking-- advice. I had told you the same thing, and since you had already apologized once for having presumptuously given unsolicited advice, I though you at least understood.

 

But what upset me more than anything was your betrayal of my trust. I told you a number of sensitive, highly personal things in confidence, and yet you evidently thought nothing of violating that confidence with a person I had told you specifically I did not want information about my business entrusted to.

 

Much to my regret, I now understand that my trust was misplaced on more than just one count. As to the idea of "conditional" friendship, it is obvious you and X are the ones who subscribe to that idea: If a friend does not agree with you, refuses to become part of the  "herd mentality", the New Age collective consensus, or does not take your unwanted, unsolicited advice, personal criticism follows and your friendship is summarily withdrawn. That's as conditional as it gets. It's also another example of projecting your own values on someone else, for whom they are totally inappropriate values.

 

In addition to a tirade about my "selfishness", X also seemed to feel it was her appointed duty to inform me of --and to blame me for-- the supposed fact that you had been driven to seek counseling because of problems caused by your relationship with me. My reply to this was to tell X that if in fact you had psychological problems which you mistakenly attributed to your relationship with me, then your problems indeed needed to be addressed, assuming you wanted to resolve them. I also explained that these problems --whatever their nature-- were not caused through any fault of mine, and had nothing to do with me. I did not bother to elaborate, as it was none of her business what I thought about you or your problems. Although I was polite to her far in excess of what she deserved, this final example of her obnoxious pushiness in meddling where she had no right resulted in my immediate decision to permanently discontinue all communication with her. Presumably she got the message when I thereafter failed to return her phone calls.

 

For some reason, you seemed to be behaving as if it were your mission to "save" me, as if making decisions about my life were your responsibility. (As an aside, let me point out the similarity in the way you treated your brother, though there was never a similarity between your brother and me, nor between our respective situations.)

 

All I ever expected from you was to be a loyal friend I could trust and confide in. A friend cannot reasonably be expected to give more than is possible within the limits of what one is comfortably able --or willing-- to give. I never expected --and certainly did not ask-- for more. In fact I repeatedly made this clear to you. If I asked you for something you could not --or would not-- do, I expected that you would truthfully state that to me, and I certainly would not have been offended, nor would I have blamed you.

 

But I do believe that if you had been a true friend --that if your concern for me had been genuine, and not an attempt to serve some agenda of your own-- that you would not have been capable of such a betrayal of trust, let alone the sudden and complete desertion of a friend in that person's worst time of crisis --no matter what your own problems or circumstances.

 

Until the time you decided to abruptly withdraw your "concern" (such as it was), you seemed compelled to go to the opposite extreme by aggressively dispensing psychological and spiritual advice, which I had not asked for, had told you I did not need, and certainly did not agree with. You have absolutely no background, training or knowledge in these areas, yet you often made comments in an authoritative manner about these formal systems of thought (such as Jungian and other forms of psychology, various religions, spiritual or metaphysical traditions) which only reflected your ignorance of these very ideologies. Your opinions in these matters were nothing more than uninformed personal speculation. You're certainly entitled to your opinions, but to try to push these opinions upon someone else is presumptuous and intrusive, no matter how well-meaning you may convince yourself are your intentions.

 

I can see that you and X have much in common; she too has a penchant for attempting to push uninformed, unsolicited, unwelcome, non-professional spiritual and psychological advice upon others. Both of you seem to share the notion that some "generic human condition" exists; that all of us have the same motives, the same experiences; that everyone should aspire to the same definite models of mental, emotional and spiritual "health." Your many broad, general and sweeping statements to this effect reminded me of what Carl Jung once commented upon: that unaware, unindividuated persons either assume all others are like them, or else believe that all others should be like them. Be that as it may, both you and X seemed intent upon negating my individuality. Neither of you showed any respect for me as a person, nor for my right to think for myself and make my own choices.

 

Any "help' offered by either one of you was extended with the concealed proviso (aka the hidden agenda) that your support was to be had only at the price of allowing myself to be manipulated into accepting your advice and interference in my affairs. The only difference I could see between your respective tactics was that X's interference was more brazen, while much of yours was conducted covertly. Because so much of your meddling was conducted behind my back it was harder --and took longer-- for me to confront and neutralize.

 

You tried to tell me how I should spend money which you solicited without my permission. You told me I should not spend any money I received for desperately needed medical care --that I should spend it instead on rent, since that was what you chose to convey as my most pressing need to people from whom you solicited the money. What would those people think when I did not spend the money on rent? you asked. What others would "think" was never my concern; however, what other people would think of you was evidently your primary concern, apparently outweighing any concern about the severity of my material situation --including the constant pain I was forced to endure for lack of medical care.

 

When I refused to allow you to tell me how to spend money --even though you thought your part in soliciting it gave you that right-- you then tried to lecture me about applying for "welfare". I told you that it was not an appropriate or viable option for me. I was not obligated to justify my actions to you, and I didn't owe you an explanation; however, you persistently interrogated me as to the reasons why I would not consider it. When interrogation failed to persuade me, you resorted to imposing arguments which I obviously did not agree with, and had no desire nor need to hear. Once again, you showed no respect for my ability to know, and my right to choose what would --and would not-- be appropriate or possible for me.

 

Then, you tried to tell me how I should arrange to repay money (in the form of professional services) [counseling, as a Jungian analyst and Christian minister, at which time I had a private practice] --money I did not owe, since it was never borrowed by me, nor loaned directly to me. I refer to the money you received from XX, which you later gave to me. You gave me the money saying only that you had borrowed it from someone you chose not to name and that I could pay it back to you when --and if--  I were able or chose to do so: nothing more.

 

According to you, there were no strings attached. It was not your place to attempt to make agreements behind my back, brokering deals without my knowledge or consent. Then, to impose an assumed obligation on me to repay money I would never have agreed --and in fact did not, at any time, agree-- to borrow from another individual, and had already accepted on quite different terms from you. Nor did you have the right to barter my professional services to another person without my consent. Even were such terms suggested by another party, you should never have even  discussed that without my knowledge or consent.

 

You borrowed money from a third party --an unnamed source which you chose not to disclose to me at the time the money was presented to me-- and therefore you are the one responsible for the debt. Soliciting and borrowing the money was your choice, not mine. If my circumstances had not been so very desperate I would have returned the money to you immediately once I learned of the meddlesome arrangements you were attempting to make without my knowledge or consent. I do not have the money to return to you at this time. When I do I will send it back to you directly, since you were the one from whom I received it.

 

Yet another presumptuous, intrusive action on your part (also conducted behind my back) which I have discovered since my last contact with you, was that you called my analyst, with the intent of discussing with him, as he explained to me, your "side" of your relationship with me. He immediately recognized the inappropriate nature (as well as the manipulative intent) of such an action and refused to participate in it. I am thankful that he, at least, knows the meaning of confidentiality and loyalty, whether it involves a friend or a client. This ill-considered action is yet another example of a completely unwarranted invasion of my privacy. Such behavior suggests that you seem to think you can make of my personal life an open book: a cheap tabloid for all and sundry to peruse and speculate upon.

 

If you want your personal life to be under public scrutiny, then join an "encounter group" with like-minded individuals, like the one X belongs to. But it's wrongful to expect me to tolerate my private life becoming grist for the mill of  "group therapy" as a result of your misguided attempt to deal with your own psychological problems.

 

If a group of neurotic individuals with a "herd mentality" decide to get together and and shout their individual and/or collective personal business from the rooftops, that is their prerogative, but I certainly don't appreciate your lack of discretion in attempting to put my business in the street, by calling those persons I had asked you not to contact, behind my back, violating my personal confidences, and spewing forth erroneous perceptions of me and my life in the process. Such subterfuge is beyond my capacity to tolerate.

 

I have never done anything to deserve such disrespectful treatment. I was not only shocked, but deeply hurt, to learn of it.

 

I once heard you describe yourself as an "ethicist", the meaning of which is a specialist in ethics. Why you felt entitled to claim this designation, I haven't a clue. Such self-evaluation can only have been either delusional or contrived. In my considered professional opinion, based on my observation of your behavior, I think it is likely that you have a need for others to see you as such a person, due to a problem with your self-esteem, which you feel may only be elevated by gaining approval from others; perhaps by being perceived by them as an "ethicist".

 

Please note: This is the only such unsolicited opinion you have received from me. Under the circumstances I feel justified in giving it. Even speaking solely from my personal experience with you, the way you have treated me is decidedly unethical, in the broadest possible sense.

 

It should be obvious to you by now that I feel considerable anger about your treatment of me. Certainly such anger is justified, but your behavior has also caused me emotional pain, since at one time I trusted you and considered you to be among my closest friends. I have never violated confidences which you entrusted to me by indiscriminately relating them to others. I have never betrayed whatever trust --if any-- you may have had in me. I have not given advice about -- nor even commented on-- your personal life, your finances or your relationships, unless I was specifically asked by you to do so. Otherwise, whatever observations I made, or opinions I held about these things, I kept to myself, out of respect for your privacy, and your right to make your own choices in your life. I never refused to listen to your problems or concerns, when you chose to confide them to me. I did not expect you to adopt my viewpoints, nor did I expect you to justify your actions to me. 

 

I did not withdraw my friendship just because you did not understand me, or did not agree with me, for instance, because you were not an animal rights activist, as I am. Those are my views, and I would not attempt to impose them on anyone else --including you. The only things I ask from my friends are loyalty, respect for my rights, and to give whatever support of me they are able and willing to give --no more. Certainly I treat them as I would like to be treated, by keeping their confidences and respecting their right to be who they are, as long as they don't violate my rights in the process.

 

The last conversation I had with you, on the telephone, felt to me like an exercise in futility. You were telling me that you wished you could "be there" to help me with what I was going through, but you could not. In explanation of this, you made a comment which I could not easily forget. Your exact words were: "It's your journey." As if this so-called "journey" were some sort of mystical initiation or "learning experience", something I was meant to go through alone. I feel it is imperative to correct your immense misperception, evidently spawned by incredible ignorance: What I was going through was not a "journey" in any sense of the word --not literal, metaphorical, spiritual or otherwise. It was a severe and life-threatening, existential, material crisis. It was crippling poverty brought on through no fault of mine, over which I had very little control. It was extreme physical and emotional stress brought on by the constant desperate struggle to obtain the most basic necessities to sustain life and the lives of my beloved cats. It was chronic, painful and debilitating physical illness which could not be relieved for lack of the proper medical care, proper food, supplements and medicines.

 

My emotional distress was not brought about by anything amiss within my psyche, as you seemed to suggest, but rather by the total exhaustion and near-despair I felt knowing that I would soon lose my home, my car, as well as all opportunities for obtaining the money I had worked so long and so hard to generate; and this was exacerbated by grief over my mother's death. The one and only thing I "learned" from this miserable experience --quite incidentally-- was who my friends were, and who they were not. And if I had been forced to go through the last, and worst part of this horrible ordeal alone, without the help and sincere support of a few who did care, I might, some time since, have taken a "journey" off the earth plane.

 

Your casual insensitivity in referring to these dreadful circumstances in my life as a "journey" can only be a reflection of profound ignorance and/or shallowness. Fully aware of the horrendous circumstances in my life, but apparently unconcerned, your last conversation with me was littered with such cliches as "exploring my creativity", as you phrased it, and other mindless pop psychology and New Age jargon.

 

I finally realized that there was nothing further I could say to you.

 

And I didn't even realize then that you had betrayed my trust, violated my confidences, and in the process had seen fit to unjustly malign my character. Or that you had approached people you had no ethical right to talk to, about me, or my personal business.

 

If I had known, I certainly would have confronted you with it then. The last thing I heard from you was that you would call me "next week". That was early in May; it is now late October. My phone was disconnected on July 1, the day I was evicted from my home. Even if you had any belated concern at all about me you could have mailed a note to my P.O. box.

 

I have said what I needed to say. I would have done it sooner, but could not find the time. As I explained, I have the need to be direct in saying what I feel, especially since you are someone I once cared a great deal about and considered to be a close friend. I expect that the writing of this letter will dissipate much of the anger I still feel, but despite that, I have no ill will toward you. The choice to end our friendship was not initially mine; but in light of your attitudes toward me I would have had no alternative in any case, once I realized the scope of your betrayal of my trust.
