Ted Gunderson in Open Letter to Barbara Hartwell, published by Ken Adachi on 'Educate Yourself' (2001)



In PART 5 of this series, I will once again give an excerpt from a report (2005):

 

OPEN LETTER TO EX-FBI AGENT TED GUNDERSON

 

A Public Report on Criminal Conspiracy & Racketeering

 

https://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2006/11/open-letter-to-ex-fbi-agent-ted.html



In this segment, I name the names of the worst of the government stooges, criminal thugs and goons recruited by FBI Chief Ted Gunderson to libel, slander, harass, stalk, threaten and persecute Barbara Hartwell, after I broke off my professional association and personal friendship with Ted, for cause, in 2000.

 

But before I get to that, just to show the level of falsehoods and disinformation promoted on the Internet, here are statements from a so-called “AI Overview” which I found in connection with the names of Barbara Hartwell and Ted Gunderson:

 

"The relationship between former FBI agent Ted Gunderson, CIA whistleblower Barbara Hartwell, and researcher Ken Adachi (of the website Educate Yourself) was characterized by a bitter public falling out and accusations of entrapment and betrayal, primarily occurring in the mid-2000s rather than 2001, though some tensions began earlier."


"The Conflict: Barbara Hartwell accused Ted Gunderson of being involved in CIA containment operations and "crimes against humanity". She claimed he was a provocateur and that his actions were part of a "criminal conspiracy" to cause her harm."


"The Letter/Response: In an open letter, Ted Gunderson responded to criticisms from Hartwell and others, defending his actions and discrediting his detractors."


"Ken Adachi's Role: Ken Adachi, who published materials from both sides on his website, was heavily criticized by Hartwell, who claimed he, along with Gunderson, was engaging in a "libel campaign" and "character assassination" against her."


FOR THE RECORD

 

I must refute these false statements.


There was never, at any time, any relationship whatsoever between Barbara Hartwell and Ken Adachi. My only relationship was with Ted Gunderson.


Ken Adachi was just a lackey and PR shill for Ted Gunderson. I did not know Ken Adachi. At no time did I have any communication with him. He did not “publish material from both sides”. No, he was running a targeted defamation campaign against Barbara Hartwell, filled with outrageous and extremely damaging lies.


To say that Adachi was “heavily criticized” by me is a vast understatement. Ken Adachi was an odious liar, a fraud, a criminal scumbag who ran a New Age government disinfo site. According to Adachi, Barbara Hartwell was “CEO of Liars, Inc.” and Public Enemy Number One.

 

This AI nonsense is disgusting!

 

But here are the actual details of the persecution of a government whistleblower. These tactics are standard operating procedure directed against any person who has the courage and integrity to expose government corruption, regardless of the consequences to oneself.

 

Since this letter was written, Ted Gunderson and the most aggressive of his criminal minions (Todd Brendan Fahey, Ken Adachi, Tim White) have all died. To my knowledge, none of them ever repented of their evil actions, nor made a public apology to those they had harmed.

 

The damages to me, as well as to certain members of my family (CIA agents and others) were extreme and severe.

 

As far as I am concerned, may the names of these villains live in infamy in perpetuity. But I have only prayed for God's justice to be visited upon them, and I see no possible wrong in that.

 

God is the judge, not me.

 

I will begin with my opening statement in this public letter addressing Ted Gunderson.

 

Ted Gunderson:


In service to the truth I find it necessary to stand in my own defense regarding the allegations you have made in your Open Letter to Barbara Hartwell, dated April 2, 2005 and published on Educate Yourself. I also find it important, as regards the pursuit of justice for myself and others who have been designated targets of a criminal conspiracy, to publish this letter as a detailed report which includes factual information regarding several participants in that conspiracy, identified herein.


First it's important to say I know it's not going to end here. Where will it end? Sooner or later we will find ourselves in a show down in some court(s) of law, criminal, civil, possibly both. That is, if we each live long enough for that to happen. I'm not sure what the end result will be, but speaking for myself, I look forward to having my day in court and pray the day comes when I am able to vindicate myself against any and all persons who have plotted and/or conspired against me.


The best I can do for now is stand up for the truth as I know it, upon information and belief; citing the facts and the evidence to substantiate those facts wherever possible; and ask for God's protection in making my stand, as I have done these many years. Despite the several attempts on my life, so far, this approach has worked well enough for me; but more importantly, I have no doubt that God's justice will prevail, if not in this life, then certainly in God's eternal time.


Someday we will all have to stand before God. This holds true for everyone, whether one believes in God or not. As for His grace, I cannot presume to say whom He will extend that to, though I have certainly been the recipient of God's grace enough to know that it continues to be possible for me.


I also find it necessary to state, once again, for the record, that I was delivered from CIA by the grace of God. None of the lies being disseminated, none of the false allegations being made against me by you and many others can change that. It's a done deal. God knows it and I know it. What others may believe is a matter of no concern to me. It's also none of their business. 

 

But I'll say it again, right up front: I do not work for CIA; nor have I had any professional dealings with them; nor been hired under any contract by them or their proprietaries, for over eleven (11) years. Furthermore, it is my contention and belief that you, Ted Gunderson, know this to be true.


I'm certain there are at least a few persons (including my witnesses) who will believe me when I say that as God is my witness, all that I will state herein is the truth, information which I now find it necessary to provide for the public record. I will also state the same, under oath, in any court of law in which I may find myself testifying and in any formal, notarized affidavits on which I may place my signature. I will never commit perjury, just as I have never lied in any public reports I have written.


But only God knows what is in my heart, as in yours. Only God knows who among us is telling the truth and who is not. And so, I have no reason to fear that any testimony given here, in writing, can ever be proven false.


As for those who would attempt to use any portion of the testimony given here against me, let them try. They have done it before, with only disastrous consequences to themselves when their plots and lies were exposed. I have committed no illegal acts. I have no criminal record. Nor has anyone ever won a judgment against me in any civil lawsuit. In fact, to date, I have never been sued by any person, for any reason. If you'd like to be the first, be my guest.


As for the persecution which has been directed against me by criminals in government as well as their cronies and minions, I will continue to pursue justice, as always, under the law. And I will continue to defend myself and to exercise my natural God-given Constitutional rights. I will defend those rights against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Furthermore, I will continue to seek the prosecution of any and all individuals who commit criminal violations against me. I will also continue to seek protection from law enforcement agencies against any threats of death and/or violence which are made against me by criminal perpetrators. If these agencies choose to withhold their protection, or act in negligence of their duties, they will be held accountable by me and cited in criminal complaints for obstruction of justice.


But before I go further in addressing your allegations, I find it important to say that despite the fact that you and I are now in an adversarial relationship, as we have been since early 2000 (the last contact I had with you) I hold no malice in my heart against you and do not hate you. True, I certainly feel righteous anger and outrage over a number of issues about which you and I are in vehement disagreement (to say the least.) But at one time, I actually loved you as if you were my own father and to this day, I pray for you. This is not gratuitous sentiment, only the truth; but judging from the general tone of your letter, and from your parting words to me, I'm sure my feelings are a matter of no concern to you. So be it.


"Do the righteous people of the world a service and, like other slimy creatures, slither back into the hole from which you came."


Thank you, Ted, for your kind remarks. However, since you clearly represent yourself and certain of your associates as the "righteous" among us, I at least owe it to the readers of this report to set the record straight on that score. They may, as always, make of this report what they will, though I'm sure the more intelligent and discerning among them will figure out the truth for themselves.


CRIMINAL HARASSMENT, LIBEL CAMPAIGNS: PERPETRATED BY PERSONS OF LOW MORAL CHARACTER


Two of the persons you have named, with whom you have chosen to ally yourself, certainly leave much to be desired, in terms of moral character, spiritual integrity and intellectual capacity. In my opinion, they are virtually bankrupt in these areas. I refer of course to Tim White and Ken Adachi. As you must know, I consider them both to be despicable on general principles, as well as to be fools and stooges of the lowest order. And since these individuals (among many others, who may be relevant in the issues being addressed here) have been publishing false and libelous allegations against me, many of which are outrageous in nature; and have been engaging in malicious character assassination against me for the past four (4) years, they will be held accountable by me and certain others whom they have maligned, libeled, slandered and/or harassed.


In the case of Tim White, he has perpetrated criminal harassment and even made death threats against me and others (some in writing) for which I have hard evidence, in the form of documentation, including: court documents furnished by a plaintiff, Doreen Bishop and her attorney, Warren Edson; material (e-mail messages, letters and reports, both private and public) written by Tim White; transcripts of criminal phone harassment (which continued after he received several directives to cease and desist) for which I have audiotapes; and/or the testimony of firsthand witnesses to these harassing and threatening calls. Some of the aforementioned has already been admitted as evidence in a Denver court.


CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE


I have in fact filed several criminal complaints against Tim White (as well as others with whom he was and/or is acting in collusion, such as Brenda M. Negri and Shirley Anderson) with various law enforcement agencies. I have evidence as well to substantiate that certain individuals (specifically including agents of the FBI) have been engaging in obstruction of justice by refusing to act on (or even investigate) my valid complaints of criminal conspiracy and racketeering by White, Negri and numerous others, who will all be named in both criminal complaints and civil lawsuits. This, despite the fact that I have provided hard evidence to the FBI to substantiate my claims that these individuals are engaging in criminal offenses that directly threaten me; and for which I have sustained massive damages, along with certain of my associates, members of my family and others.


I and others targeted for this criminal conspiracy, including Stew Webb, are certainly well-equipped to prove these allegations in a court of law. I will also be publishing the aforementioned documentation (at such time as I have a website on-line) which serves as irrefutable evidence against Tim White. Some of these documents are already published on-line at: http://www.stewwebb.com


These documents have also been distributed for safekeeping, in case something should happen to prevent me from publishing them myself.


As far as predicate felon (convicted of narcotics trafficking) Tim White is concerned, his violations against me and others are a criminal matter (in addition to legally actionable civil matters) and I do intend to continue to pursue every legal avenue available to me to see that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for his crimes. Most recently, Tim White has made numerous harassing phone calls to Stew Webb and Tom Heneghan, violating directives to cease and desist such harassment. He also sent me a harassing, threatening, obscene e-mail message on April 4, 2005 (violating my directives never to contact me by e-mail, phone or in any other way) which is in my evidence file and has also been forwarded to several witnesses for safekeeping.


As for Ken Adachi, since he chooses to continue to publicly endorse and promote Tim White (as well as by extension, his criminal activities) then he is also implicated, as one who is aiding and abetting the criminal conspiracy in which White is a participant and/or publicly soliciting the commission of crimes and privacy violations, as well as the obstruction of justice.


Furthermore, by continuing to libel me and promote the groundless, unwarranted and unsubstantiated falsehood (among many others) that I am a "CIA disinfo agent"; or that I am a "mind-controlled government disinfo agent" (or any of the many other malicious falsehoods about Barbara Hartwell which Adachi promotes) in order to maintain his position in defense of Tim White, yourself or others, such as Todd Brendan Fahey (also guilty of criminal harassment but who escaped prosecution only by leaving the country, after being admitted to a psychiatric/alcohol-drug rehab facility at Southern Maine Medical Center in July 2004; and who has been publicly disseminating libelous pornographic filth, character assassination, as well as many other damaging falsehoods, using my name) Ken Adachi will find himself having to answer in a court of law for promoting this damaging libel and aiding and abetting the criminal harassment of White and Fahey.


Todd Fahey is also a blackmailer, which crime he has publicly admitted and even boasted about on several public websites. In fact, Fahey has already been banned from several websites and message boards, since July 2004, specifically after he continued to write and post his libelous falsehoods about Barbara Hartwell, which included outrageous lies about non-existent sexual conquests, using vile obscenity and fabricating pornographic descriptions of alleged events which have no basis in fact, in connection to my name; forging and publishing letters and articles (using a defunct e-mail address to identify Barbara Hartwell as the alleged "source") which he falsely claims were written by me (identity theft); falsely attributing quotes and statements to me which have no basis in fact; also falsely alleging that Barbara Hartwell is a "drunk" with an "alcohol jones", etc. etc. etc.


The moderators of these message boards, I'm sure, were well aware that otherwise, they too could be sued for damages, along with Fahey. For those who have removed such libel and banned Fahey, I thank them and have no intention of involving them in any lawsuits. And for the record, let it be known that anyone who owns and/or hosts any website publishing these outrageous lies about Barbara Hartwell, and/or who engages in their dissemination in any way, will be held accountable for their participation in promoting this damaging libel and will be sued. Including (but certainly not limited to) Ken Adachi.


GROSS PRIVACY VIOLATIONS, SOLICITING CRIMINAL OFFENSES


Considering the fact that Todd Fahey has also engaged in gross violations of my privacy by publishing my unlisted phone number (which had to be disconnected due to harassing calls made and solicited by Fahey, and for which I had to make several police reports); publishing the street address of my home on the Internet, an act committed with malice aforethought, which has also compromised my security and endangered my safety, Adachi implicates himself in this as well, since he published Fahey's libelous article (Barbara Hartwell: Where Does One Begin?) which contained my street address, on his website, Educate Yourself. Tim White has also posted this libelous article by Fahey on various Yahoo! groups of which he is a member.


Todd Fahey has also published a plethora of additional false information about the ownership of my home in Maine by 1) "a member of the John Birch Society" and 2) "a man named Frank Nulton", neither of which allegation has any basis in fact. He has also published the false allegations that: "Barbara Hartwell has lost residency in her home" and "has relocated to Brownsville, Texas where she is sharing an apartment with one Geral Sosbee". He further claimed to "know" these false allegations. Many, many other such false allegations about Barbara Hartwell have been made by Todd Fahey as well as Tim White. And published as libel on many websites and message boards.


Because of these false and libelous claims, in conjunction with Fahey's character assassination and vile lies, especially in falsely representing me as a "whore" and a "drunk"; because of his grossly false portrayal of me as engaging in the same sort of sordid and degenerate lifestyle which he himself pursues, I have incurred major damages, in the form of being additionally harassed by known and unknown persons; having other unscrupulous individuals publicly post and repeat these libelous falsehoods, for which Fahey was the source, such as criminal conspirators Brenda Negri and Tim White (along with many others); further, my family and friends have been subjected to gross privacy violations and harassed by persons publicly promoting these falsehoods as if they were based on fact --which they are not. I have sustained serious damages as a result of this libel campaign by these utterly loathsome individuals.


My friend and professional colleague, Ex-FBI agent Geral Sosbee, has also been subjected to privacy violations and harassment as a direct result of the libelous falsehoods being promoted by Todd Fahey, specifically related to Fahey's lie that "Barbara Hartwell has relocated to Brownsville, Texas and is sharing an apartment with one Geral Sosbee." Mr. Sosbee has publicly refuted this lie, more than once and has stated, for the record, that it is a falsehood fabricated by a pathological liar, Todd Fahey.


HARASSMENT, STALKING, TRESPASSING


I can assure you and your "associates" that the moment I have anyone harassing me; stalking or even setting foot on my property, as a result of Fahey/Adachi/White (or any others) PUBLISHING my street address (which I took precautions and great pains never to disclose on any public documents; and which has never been made a matter of public record, by my decision, for the purpose of protecting my privacy and security) I will immediately report this firstly to the detective from the Old Orchard Beach Police Department who handled the investigation of Fahey's previous criminal harassment of me, which consisted of harassing phone calls, threats and stalking (and who had advised me to seek a restraining order against Fahey); as well as to any and all other law enforcement agencies which are appropriate) and I will provide all relevant information and documentation as to the collusion of these individuals in publicly disclosing private information and thus grossly violating my privacy, compromising my security and endangering my safety.


If necessary, I will go so far as to seek Fahey's deportation/extradition from South Korea, as an American citizen, that he may be ordered to appear in court to face any criminal charges I am able to bring against him. I will certainly go to any lengths I have to in order to see that, at the very least, Todd Fahey will be forced to cease and desist from his continued harassment (in the form of disseminating his outrageous and damaging lies about my personal life); and that he will pay damages for his harassment (since July 2004) libel and slander; as well as for the destruction and theft of my private property, for which I sustained thousands of dollars in damages.


Fahey has already made public admissions of certain of these negligent, hazardous and destructive acts, which endangered the safety of myself and my family; such as setting a mattress on fire, in a guest room he was using during his stay at my home; presumably while smoking in bed after he passed out drunk; and which could easily have led to a fire in the entire house. The mattress was destroyed and had to be disposed of. As for other damages, I have witnesses who will substantiate the fact that Fahey tampered with/ destroyed my private property, including my only personal computer. This psychotic lowlife even boasted about his destructive sociopathic behavior.


Furthermore, anyone who publishes private information such as a street address (an address not part of any preexisting public records) is soliciting privacy violations, as well as soliciting the commission of crimes such as harassment and stalking. Since White and Fahey are both known stalkers and have both made threats of violence; and since this is a matter of public record, documented in police reports, I can certainly prove that their intent in disclosing my street address (with malice aforethought) was to encourage other criminals to violate my privacy; compromise my security and endanger my safety. Tim White, in fact, is under a permanent restraining order in Denver for stalking and criminal harassment, which included death threats.


I will also be able to prove that through publishing libelous falsehoods (accusing me of criminal acts, such as being under the illegal employ of CIA, specifically "CIA Headquarters at Langley, Virginia") that Ken Adachi has severely damaged my professional and personal reputation; cost me money in legal fees as well as costs incurred from pro se investigation; caused me profound emotional/psychological distress; exacerbated pre-existing chronic illness and disability (including but not limited to a heart condition) all of which are documented, through causing extreme traumatic stress; as well as costing me additional money, by the time I have been forced to take from other pursuits, necessary for my survival, to devote to defending myself against his many libelous falsehoods, privacy and security violations.


And please also be aware that Ken Adachi began his libel campign against me at a time when I had never heard of his existence; had done nothing wrongful or unlawful to provoke these malicious assaults and the dissemination of lies and damaging character assassination which has continued unabated since March, 2001. Ken Adachi has a lot to answer for and I will make it my business to be sure he is held legally accountable for his wrongful acts as well as any such acts which are deemed by legitimate legal authorities to be unlawful/criminal in nature. The same applies to Tim White, Brenda Negri and others.


FELONIES, RACKETEERING, A FEDERAL OFFENSE


The criminal harassment, death threats, false accusations of criminal violations, libel and slander of these and other individuals are all well documented and can be proven to be part and parcel of a criminal conspiracy in which various individuals (including but not limited to the persons named here) are colluding, with malice aforethought, to inflict harm upon me, certain of my friends, associates and family members. I can also prove racketeering.


Oh, one more thing. Perhaps you'd like to read this latest commentary (below) from your "personal friend", Tim White, the "Concerned Citizen". It was posted on a Yahoo! message board called Vietnam Vets on the Net.


"Sherwood Percival" was interestingly enough, banned from another Yahoo! board, New World Order Whistleblowers, for posting my letter to Noreen Gosch. It was deemed by the moderator, a woman named Connie Boisvert, as "a pile of garbage", simply because Stew Webb was mentioned in the letter. Tim White, of course, as well as Larry Lawson (another promoter of yourself, Ted Gunderson, Tim White and Brenda Negri, who has actually posted DEATH THREATS made against Barbara Hartwell by Brenda Negri on his Yahoo! group, LL News) another "NWO Whistleblower" who claims Barbara Hartwell works for CIA and is a "lying government agent" are both still in good standing there.

 

NOTE: Here is the actual death threat against Barbara Hartwell made by Brenda Negri and published by Larry Lawson, another criminal minion, on his newsletter, LL News:

 

To CIA agent Barbara Hartwell:

 

"...the Mexican Mafia, the gangs, the heroin junkies and the meth dealers. They'll whip your ass into a pulp if we ask them to, and thats only if you're lucky. If you're not, they'll just flat kill ya......they'll slit your throat just as soon as say fuck you."

 

I reported this death threat to various law enforcement. Did anyone care? No, my reports were ignored. Brenda Negri was a psycho criminal, a G-Man wannabe posing as a male federal agent, another government stooge. You can't make this crap up... 

 

(Percival is my family name, which I occasionally use for e-mail in public posts, since to protect my privacy I do not wish to make public an e-mail address using my own name. Should I receive unsolicited e-mail at this address, I simply issue one warning that further unwanted mail will be regarded as harassment.)


But I think this message (below) speaks for itself, as to Tim White's delusional paranoid fantasies, and his malicious intent, especially about Barbara Hartwell.


Where in hell does he come up with this stuff? Is it being fed to him?...or does he just make it up, out of whole cloth? And gee whiz, Ted, forgive me for subjecting you to the vile obscenity used here by White, as I'm sure you'll find it as appalling as I do. Especially since he used this as his "preface" to your open letter to me. But perhaps (if you are in fact in agreement with White's bizarre allegations) you could issue a directive to your PR rep, Ken Adachi, to post it under the Tim White Postings section on his website, Educate Yourself. It would certainly fit right in with Adachi's general content, as it would serve to "educate" the readers (at least those dumb enough to buy into Adachi's scurrilous brand of "journalism") about CIA and government mind control operations.

"OPEN LETTER TO CIA MOUTHPIECE---BARBARA HARTWELL,from TED L GUNDERSON"


[link to letter on Educate Yourself]


"THIS SLIMEBALL "SHERWOOD J PERCIVAL" is in actuality the very well known CIA CUNT,BARBARA HARTWELL,who is NOT a Viet Nam Vet and IS NOT even able to be anywhere NEAR THE TRUTH.EVERYONE knows WHAT she IS and EVERYONE knows WHO she works for and this TOTAL SHIT will NOT SILENCE ME.Go tell THIS to your COMPANY HANDLERS---BITCH.BABBLES BARFWELL HAS JUST HAD NEW ELECTRONIC IMPLANTS,NEW PROGRAMMING,AND A NEW BUDGET FROM "THE COMPANY",the CIA,to work with-IT WON'T WORK."


"Tim White,Viet Nam Vet(Air Force)Concerned Citizen"


(Well, thank you, Tim White, for your complimentary remarks. And for exposing yourself, yet again, for the delusional, paranoid psychotic you are. Actually, the "budget" you refer to has not been made available to me from Langley. Nor have I received any such "programming" or "implants". And once again, for the record, I do not work for CIA, nor do they sponsor my activities or contract for my services in any way. I'll prove that in a court of law as well.


Get real, Mr. White. As if Langley could give a damn about a noxious little gadfly like you. Nobody cares one way or another, except the people you are criminally harassing (whose only objective as regards you is to put you out of business) and those exploiting you and/or in collusion with you to harass, libel and slander myself and others. But in the final analysis, since you are the most inconsequential of persons, you're expendable. Since you've made quite a muddle of the "missions" you've been tasked with; since you are a rank amateur whose efforts to discredit legitimate persons have failed miserably thus far, you cannot possibly be seen as anything but a liability to those still foolish enough to exploit you for their own ends. Mark my words: It's only a matter of time until you will be forced (one way or another) to stop your criminal harassment and the spreading of your many malicious lies.


And actually, I'd rather not "silence" you. By all means, keep at it!...keep shooting your loud, vulgar, stupid mouth off. I'd rather just let you keep digging your own grave by publishing your idiotic libelous falsehoods about Barbara Hartwell. Since you've been warned repeatedly to cease and desist and have disregarded my directives, as well as those of Stew Webb, Tom Heneghan and others, I'll just keep saving your intellectual gems in my large file on you, as evidence of your continued criminal harassment, libel and certifiable insanity. You, Mr. White, have proven yourself to be a menace to society and as such, as many of your targets will agree, should be locked up in a criminal psycho ward, along with your like-minded, perverted pals, Todd Fahey and Brenda Negri.)


But back to you, Ted. Perhaps it would behoove you to rein in your flunky, Tim White. His despicable behavior certainly does not reflect well on you; nor does it enhance your credibility to have a perverted whackjob like this coming to your "defense", as Ken Adachi puts it, standing up for you against the "smears" of "mind-controlled government disinfo agents with names like Barbara Hartwell and Stew Webb".


END EXCERPT


So, that's enough for today. But for those who don't know, this living hell is what happens to a legitimate whistleblower. The government stooges, minions of corrupt agents, are sicced on us, with a vengeance. They are funded and protected, they operate with impunity. And mostly, they get away with it. In my case, justice has never been served. I don't expect it ever will. Not in this life. 


I have always exposed them by name, and always will. Most are dead and gone now, but the destruction they have done on decent, honorable persons should be recorded for posterity. This, if nothing else, I have done.


Most important, they can't escape God's Justice.

PS: For those (including on "conspiracy" websites like Above Top Secret and of course, the loathsome Ken Adachi) who have accused me of "forging" letters from Ted Gunderson, here, as evidence, is one of many from my files. Ted did not know how to type, so he handwrote all messages.

 

This one (from 2002) is hard to read, but basically it was Ted telling me that I had been "duped" by his enemies (whom he accused of being FBI informants) and that I should "stop putting out the BS" on him.

 

After I broke off my association with him, I never responded to his efforts to contact me.

PUBLIC NOTICE & COMMENTARY TO RHINEBECK TOWN OFFICIALS: THE SLUMLORD & HIS CRIMINAL TENANT- OUTRAGEOUS INJUSTICES IN RHINEBECK, NY

 


NOTE: To my regular readers, this report may not be of interest to you, as it is in regard to personal legal issues. But this website is the only venue I have, or use to publish material, whatever the reasons may be. Boring as I'm sure it is, just skip it. I hope to have more interesting subjects coming up soon.

 

FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD 


The purpose of this report is to create a public record and direct it to the attention of officials in the town of Rhinebeck, all of whom have jurisdiction over the area where I live, and some of whom have been contacted in reference to these issues.


The Rhinebeck Police. The State Police. The Housing Department. The Health Department (including Water). The Zoning Board. Dog Control.


This is a tale of two utterly unscrupulous individuals, who, separately, and in tandem, have perpetrated a number of egregious and injurious injustices against others, in particular, Barbara Hartwell. That would be me.


They (individually and in collusion) are also violating various codes and ordinances in the town of Rhinebeck. See below for details.


One of these individuals is the landlord (or should I say, slumlord) of a number of rental properties on a parcel of land in Rhinebeck, NY, namely one Kirk Rotger of New Millennium Realty. The other is his tenant, one Tracy Krawitt aka “Spacey Tracy”, proprietor of Spacey Tracy's Deep Fried Pickles, a commercial business she runs on the property, thus violating the zoning laws.


This is a classic slumlord story. Those reading this, who have had the bad fortune of dealing with a slumlord, will anticipate where this story is headed. But I have my reasons for documenting this debacle publicly. Mainly, it is about justice. Justice I don't expect to see, because I am a poor person who can't afford a lawyer, and because justice is for sale, to those who can afford to pay. But then, those people would not be living where I live, as they are more likely to own their own property.


For the most part, nobody cares for the poor. We fall through the cracks and are treated with disrespect, simply because we are considered the lowest of the low, having no money. And because they think they are safe from the consequences of their abhorrent actions, as we have no resources to pursue justice under the law.


The exceptions are pro bono lawyers for the poor, elderly and disabled, who are limited in their practice to the minimum assistance, to stopping unlawful evictions and other such abuses by landlords, but are not able to advocate for anything more. Still, I am grateful for those who have helped me, who have provided advice for me to deal with the injustices I face by ill treatment and offenses from the slumlord.


Nonetheless, I still care about justice and I want the gross injustices exposed. If that is the only satisfaction I can get, so be it. As well, I am a journalist, who has a venue (unlike many others victimized by such a slumlord), so I will use what I have to expose wrongdoers, even if only to warn others.


And because for various reasons (including the aforementioned poverty) I cannot afford to move, not for the foreseeable future. And I don't intend to allow the landlord (or any hostile tenant) to drive me out of my home. I know my rights, I know the law and I am documenting the facts for my own protection.


In January, 2014, I entered into a contract for a rental on this property, in Rhinebeck, NY, where I still reside today. This is a one room cottage, located on a small plot of land, with an area in front for parking, a small strip of land I have turned into a garden, as well as a backyard.


It is located on a piece of land where there are several such cottages, in a complex owned by the same landlord (slumlord).


There is a common circular driveway, but aside from that the rental properties have separate, private yards.


When I first met with a representative of the landlord to view the property, I asked a number of questions to determine if the property would meet my requirements.


First and foremost, I require a freestanding building (no matter how small), as I will not live in an apartment where other people have access to the building or yard. Privacy and security are my main concerns.


It must be in a rural setting, strictly residential, where the zoning laws prohibit commercial enterprises, which also disturb the peace and privacy of tenants.


I require privacy and an environment which allows for my lawful right to “quiet enjoyment” of the property. Meaning, no source of noise, disturbances, or other intrusions preventing me from having peace in my home.


I clearly and specifically explained my requirements to the landlord's representative when I first viewed the property. I explained that I am a disabled senior citizen, so I am unable to do heavy labor (yard work) and that I cannot afford to hire out for help.


My stated requirements were as follows:


Exclusive private access to the rental property and surrounding yard (front and back). Meaning no common access from other tenants.


Basic maintenance of the property and yard provided, specifically that the grass be mowed and the property cleared of weeds. And I wanted the option of making a garden and other landscaping, which I would tend myself.


That any visits to my rental property by the landlord or his employees (for repairs or other necessary issues) be by appointment only, at a mutually convenient time, agreed upon in advance by both parties, with a minimum 24 hour notice. No unannounced visits for any reason.


I was assured by the representative that these requirements, being standard procedure and reasonable, would all be met. In good faith, expecting the landlord to keep his part of the contractual agreement, I signed the lease.


However, I soon learned that any idea of “good faith” was a false expectation; that the landlord was a liar, as was his representative who showed the property to me. Not only was he a liar, but a greedy slumlord, who cared nothing for the needs of his tenants, nor had any respect for their privacy, or even their fundamental rights, not only as tenants, but as human beings.


As it turned out, every legal right I have as a tenant has been violated. I have been denied the quiet enjoyment of the rental property for which I am paying. And what I am paying far exceeds the value of the rental, all things considered.


In January, 2014 the rent was $575.00 per month. For a one room shack with bad plumbing, bad water, a leaking roof, inadequate heat, and in need of various other repairs, inside and out.


The rent has now more than doubled. He is charging $1250.00 a month. And I am attempting to survive on disability, which is the paltry sum of less than $12,000.00 a year. That does not even cover the rent.


(I know my own poverty is not the issue, and I can't blame the slumlord for that. But he is well aware of my situation, and continues to raise the rent, in efforts to price me out.)


Many of the necessary repairs still have not been made (after all this time) and in desperation, I have had to hire workers out of my own pocket.


In some cases, the landlord's workers were so sloppy and incompetent that they actually did damage to the walls and floors, while making other “repairs”. The damages were never acknowledged, nor rectified.


This is the highest rent I have ever paid anywhere in my life, for the smallest place I have ever lived, totally lacking in any but the most primitive amenities. I rented a 4 bedroom beach house in Maine for less than I am paying now.


Simply as a result of my reasonable efforts to make my home habitable, by making complaints of unacceptable conditions, I have been harassed, threatened with eviction (for which there are no grounds); I have been publicly slandered and insulted; I have been falsely accused of offenses I did not commit. I have had my sanity impugned. I have been treated with a total lack of respect by the landlord, his office workers and his hirelings, and my privacy has been regularly invaded.


I have been traumatized by this horrible treatment, and my health has suffered from the extreme stress, which I have been warned about by my doctors. I have medical conditions which are exacerbated by stress, which I need to avoid at all costs. The landlord's office has been notified of this, in writing, after I suffered one particularly stressful, traumatic episode of the landlord creating a public scene, while banging on my door, threatening, harassing and slandering me. I had to visit the emergency room later that day, as a result of a medical episode.


I have lived in unacceptable conditions, for years on end, even with health hazards, due to the landlord's failure to make necessary repairs and renovations, even after he was cited for violations by town officials.


I have documentation for all of this. In addition to phone calls, I have made formal complaints in writing, sent to the landlord's office, since January, 2014 when I first moved here. It's all on the record, I have left nothing to chance. No one can prove otherwise.


And before I go further, I will state for the record that never once have I violated any laws, nor broken any agreements in the lease, nor caused any disturbances on this property. I have paid the rent on time, with no exceptions. I have always been quiet and respectful of other tenants. There is no just cause for the execrable way I have been treated, and no excuse whatsoever.


Now, add to this that a criminal tenant, Tracy Krawitt, who moved to the property (I believe in 2018) has created a hostile environment, is violating numerous codes and ordinances and has harassed me by making false complaints to the landlord. The woman is a pathological liar and appears to be a psychopath, with no respect whatsoever for the privacy, personal boundaries and fundamental rights of others, specifically, in this case, her neighbors.


I say she is a criminal for at least one criminal offense that I know of: She made a false police report against Barbara Hartwell, lying to the police that I had “threatened to kill” her, in December, 2019. Making a false police report is a crime in and of itself. Details of the event of the false police report are documented in reports, links below.


Krawitt is also running a commercial business on the property, which violates the zoning laws. She has a huge food trailer and attached truck parked in front of her house, a garish monstrosity, an eyesore, along with other commercial paraphernalia, tables, plastic drop cloths, metal stands, gas tanks and other trash which litters the road in front of her house. The side of the ugly trailer, showing images of what appear to be the flames of Hell rising from the base, faces the main road, which ruins the rural setting and makes the whole place look like the site of a shantytown for itinerant carnival workers.


Krawitt has a number of commercial vehicles, including trucks, which she parks in the common driveway (just a narrow dirt road), cutting off access to other tenants, which we have the right to use, and which she has no right to do. Other vehicles (including trucks), owned by her associates/employees, come in and out at all hours. Making a racket, creating gridlock and blocking the road. All violating the zoning laws and disturbing the peace on the property.


Huge, noisy commercial delivery trailer trucks also come in to the property, while men wheel the deliveries to her house on carts. US Foods is one such company. The drivers are loud and rude and have blocked the driveway on a regular basis, stopping me from pulling my car out to the main road.


This was a quiet residential area, as it was meant to be, until Krawitt invaded with her multiple commercial vehicles, all her piles of trash and noise pollution, and she is violating the laws by running this commercial business. She is depriving other tenants of the right to quiet enjoyment of their rental property. And the landlord is allowing it, so he is also responsible for what goes on, as he owns the property. He does nothing to stop her, despite complaints from other tenants.


But the violations don't end there. Krawitt is the owner of a large, aggressive, out-of-control dog, violating the laws as a dog owner. She allows the dog to run free, unleashed, on the property and the roads, thus creating a safety risk for other tenants, animals, pedestrians and motorists, and for the dog himself. She has neglected the dog and left him home alone, to be hanging out an open window, howling and barking, disturbing the peace. I had to make repeated complaints to Dog Control to stop her from causing daily, hours-long disturbances by the howling dog.


She has been cited for violations several times by Dog Control, but has failed to take any action to comply with the leash laws. To this day, the dog is running loose over the property. Looking out the window as I write this, I see him, and hear him...barking at her associates, also low class loudmouths, just like Krawitt, a constant invasive presence on the property. There are now 5 vehicles blocking the driveway.


The dog has invaded my rental property numerous times and has run in front of my car while I was driving, forcing me to slam the brakes to avoid hitting him. How dangerous is this!


Krawitt has regularly invaded my property as well, chasing the unleashed dog, and when confronted to “get the hell out of my yard”, has cursed at me and called me a “psycho”. Which is exactly a description of her, considering her outrageous behavior. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.....


I do not know this woman and have never spoken to her, nor do I engage her in any way in discussions or arguments, despite her offenses and provocations. My policy is to ignore her, document her offenses (see reports on this site) and when necessary, report her offenses to authorities. The one exception is to say: Get the hell out of my yard, when she and her dog invade my rental property. In fact, in most cases, I have ignored her rather than engage in a confrontation. 


See links to reports exposing Krawitt below for details.


But back to the slumlord, and let me start from the beginning. When I moved into the rental property in January, 2014, it was quiet and peaceful. There was a beautiful stream (a creek), which flowed through my backyard. The stream was one of the reasons I wanted the property, as I love moving water. At that time, I met the neighbors in the cottage next-door, who were friendly and quiet. They still live there, and I have always been on good terms with them.


[NOTE: The stream has now been destroyed. The slumlord had his workers come into my yard, chop down a lovely old tree, covered in vines, and just threw all the branches and the huge trunk into the water, clogging it up with refuse and changing the course of the stream. It's mostly now a dry bed, which I can't see, nor can I hear the sound of the rushing water at night. What a crying shame to destroy such a once-peaceful natural setting. But then, he doesn't care, he doesn't have to live here. And by the way, where the old tree once stood, he erected what appears to be a metal cell tower-type receptor or some such electronic device. Adding more electronic pollution right in my own yard. Horrible!]


But by the time the spring came around, I knew I had some serious problems.


It started with the weeds. When I say “weeds”, I don't mean the garden variety. These were huge stalks, rising to over 6 feet tall. They covered the backyard and actually grew so close to the house that they blocked all light from the windows in the kitchen area (a small galley at the back of the room) and adjacent bathroom. The weeds were literally pressing up against the windows, blocking the air flow. But that didn't stop the insects (including horseflies and wasps) from invading through the ripped screens. Which I finally had to replace myself, at my own expense, as my complaints were, as usual, ignored.


I called the landlord's office to report the problems caused by the overgrowth of weeds. The office workers said they would send someone to take care of it. But nobody ever showed up. Time went by. Week after week, I kept calling. I sent letters by certified mail.


Meanwhile, the weeds continued to grow. I was suffering from allergies and from the stifling lack of air inside the cottage. I was unable to use the backyard, there was no space left.


I continued to call the office. The office workers continued to assure me that the problem would be taken care of. But, as usual, they lied. Nobody ever showed up, and no explanation was given.


July, August, September, October, came and went. Finally, in sheer frustration and desperation, in November, I called the Town Hall in Rhinebeck, attempting to get some relief. I reported the situation with the weeds, and a town official from the Housing Department came to make an inspection.


As can be imagined, he was shocked and horrified. The man stood there, shaking his head (Oh, this is terrible, terrible...) at the back of my cottage, viewing the field of stalks, now dried and brown, but leaning against and totally blocking my windows, an eyesore as well as a health and fire hazard.


He contacted the slumlord, citing him for violations of the housing code and notifying him that he must immediately rectify the situation.


But now, things only got worse for me. The slumlord, finally forced to take action, sent some workers to cut down the stalks. But instead of cleaning up the dead stalks, they just left them in a pile against the side of the house, to rot there in the yard. I was forced to hire someone myself to clear the dead foliage from my yard. The entire summer had passed, I had no use of my own yard, and now the winter had come.


No apology was ever issued. No compensation for the stress and health hazards to me. And even worse, the slumlord blamed me for the problem. When I had called to report the pile of trash left in the yard, he shouted at me, claiming, That is your responsibility!, when in fact he had always been responsible for maintaining the property, as per the lease agreement.


When I protested that I had done nothing wrong, nothing to cause the problem, that it was not my fault, he shouted at me, You called the town! As if this were a heinous crime, to call the town for relief because of his negligence! Truly unbelievable.


No, I was expected to live in filthy, unsafe, inhabitable conditions, rather than take action to rectify the situation.


Then, there were the workers he hired. Most did not even speak English. And the slumlord would just send them out, at his own convenience, in violation of his agreement with me to arrange a mutually convenient time when I could expect them. Which was not only the agreement, but is my right as a tenant.


They would come banging on my door, expecting to be let in, with no concern for my privacy. I would not let them in, or I would just ignore them.


On my door I have a NOTICE posted:


NO TRESPASSING


NO SOLICITING


SERVICE VISITS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY


I had notified the slumlord years ago that I require, and that I have the right, to a minimum 24 hours notice if a worker needs to come to my home. He is well aware of this policy, but has repeatedly disregarded it, with no respect whatsoever for my rights as a tenant.


I ignored the knocking. The workers were tramping around outside my house and then came knocking and shouting again. I ignored them.


Don't they speak English? Well...no, unfortunately they don't, and I guess they can't read English either.


I once again had to call the Health Department, for yet another issue with the plumbing. The Health Department came, investigated and made a diagnosis regarding the situation.


They made it very clear that there was a major overhaul needed and also cited the slumlord (once again) for the health code violation, which involved a major problem with the sewage and water system.


The Health official told me that he had explained all this in detail to the slumlord. He also told me that there was no need for anyone to come inside my house: the issues were all outside. So, why send his workers to come knocking at my door? Aside from the total lack of respect for my privacy and my rights, there was no good reason to do so.


I am a tenant, not a plumber or contractor. It is not my responsibility to discuss the problems with his hired help (who do not speak English), especially since they do not need access to my house. The slumlord was told exactly what the problem is. If he failed to take action to rectify his violations, that's on him, not me.


But of course, I am the one (as always) who suffers the consequences of his negligence, total lack of respect and callous disregard for his tenants.


In one instance, when I called the office to complain about this unacceptable behavior, I was actually told by the woman that, He has million dollar properties, and they take precedence, so I would have to wait until they could fit me in to the schedule. Maybe when hell freezes over.


Unbelievable. Imagine the level of arrogance, and the unmitigated stupidity of the woman delivering this message.


Then, there is the fact that I am not on speaking terms with the slumlord. Not since October, 2023, when he staged a horrible disruption and public scene outside my home, when he showed up unannounced, with a crew of his workers, in total disregard for my policy, and demanded to be let in, which I did not allow.


He was banging on my door, making threats to evict me – for which he has no grounds. He was harassing me, making demands to be let in. He was publicly slandering me, so all the neighbors could hear, and making false accusations against me, based only on false complaints by another tenant, one Tracy Krawitt, a criminal offender who had made a false police report in December, 2019, lying to the police that I had “threatened to kill” her.


And the slumlord actually went across the road, marching straight to her door, after falsely accusing me of “harassing” the other tenants (none of whom I know, nor had ever even spoken to), which was a total fabrication by Krawitt, threatening that these tenants (including Krawitt) would back him up against me.

 

Next, I was expecting him to recruit a mob, with torches and pitchforks, a veritable witch hunt! 

 

These false accusations by Krawitt, then repeated at me by the slumlord, had absolutely no basis in fact, and was apparently an attempted intimidation tactic, which he was foolish enough to believe would work on me. And I do have witnesses to his threats and harassment. If there were an actual legal issue (which there was not), the only way he could have dealt with it is using the law. But it is on record, documented and he cannot deny his false accusations without lying. But then, that's never been a problem for him. Just like his pal, Krawitt.  


In fact, Krawitt, the odious liar, had been making false complaints to the landlord's office, claiming the devil knows what, and he apparently believed her.


He also grossly insulted me and impugned my sanity, accusing that there were “mental health issues” because I refused to open my door for an unannounced service call. Absolutely outrageous!


Never in my life had I witnessed such totally insane and aggressive behavior from any landlord, nor had I ever encountered any neighbor as crazy and evil as Tracy Krawitt.


I have lived with substandard conditions for the entire time I have had this rental. Including "health hazards", as cited by the Health Department.


Now, about the water. It is water from a well on the property. The water is so dirty it often comes out of the tap brown, at times even black. It stinks like sulphur from the bowels of hell. Not only that, but on a regular basis, the water would just shut off and the tenants would be without water for hours, sometimes days.


As it turned out, the landlord had been violating the codes by not installing a proper water system. The plumbing was so bad, you never knew if there would be enough pressure to take a shower, even to flush the toilets. Everyone that I knew of suffered from this unacceptable situation.


The problems in my house were particularly bad. Plus, the fixtures in the bathroom were nonfunctional, crusted with mineral deposits. I had to use buckets of water to flush the toilet. I had reported this to the office in 2022, saying I needed immediate action, for major repairs to be made.


I was told by the morons in the office that a “work order” had been put out for the repairs. Of course, nobody got back to me. Time passed, as the problems became worse and worse. Again, I called, I wrote certified letters, made detailed formal complaints. Only false promises, more suffering for me, no action taken.


When calling the office, as usual, got no results, I finally also called the town, the Health Department. An officer came to do an inspection and take my formal complaint.


He, like the officer from the Housing department, years ago, was shocked at the condition of my bathroom. He inspected outside and found that there was no pipe system at all. The water from the bathroom sink and shower, and the kitchen sink, was just draining into the ground outside the house, and then going into the stream (what was left of it) polluting the area.


I don't know all the gory details, but suffice to say it was a total mess, and the slumlord was cited for numerous violations of the health code, and forced to do major renovations, inside and outside.


The officer from the Health Department actually thanked me. He said if not for my complaints and my persistence in documenting the issues, they never would have known about the deplorable conditions on the property, and the “health hazards” (their words) to tenants, including me.


From the beginning of this ordeal, all officials from the town have been respectful and supportive of me; they knew my complaints to be justified, and even thanked me for issuing the complaints, so the major problems with the property could be rectified, not just for me, but for other tenants.


Next item: The backyard excavations. Early on, I was experiencing serious issues with the plumbing. The landlord did not know where the septic tank was located, on his own property. He sent a crew of workers with a bulldozer (or a backhoe) to dig up my yard, littering it with rocks and debris, which he just left there. (As usual, I later had to hire someone to clear out the rocks and clean up the mess.)


The septic tank was finally located, right behind the house. A septic service was called, to pump the septic tank. When the man came to the door, he actually said to me, something about the “slumlord”, as if it was a known fact. Evidently, he was notorious in the area.

 

After the septic tank was pumped, the slumlord's workers just left the metal cover (which had been covered with soil and grass) to sit there, without covering it back up. Again, I had to hire someone to clean up the yard, shovel the dirt back and plant grass. 


Of course, there is much more to this saga...it never ends...


There is no rest for the weary.


But enough for now.


And I will end with this:


With all due respect: Town Officials of Rhinebeck, please take note.

 

People who own property, who become landlords, need to at least abide by the laws and the codes and the ordinances of the town where their property is located. Tenants have rights, whether they are rich or even the poorest of the poor – people like me, who are ill treated and deprived of the right to quiet enjoyment of the rental property for which they are paying. (In my case, an exorbitant sum.)


Tenants also have the right (as part of quiet enjoyment) to not be disturbed by violations of other tenants, such as howling dogs, running unleashed on the property and in the road, causing safety hazards; or commercial businesses operating unlawfully in a residential zone, disturbing the peace, preventing them from the use of a common driveway, and the noise pollution of huge delivery trucks, shouting workers, horns blasting. 

 

The eyesores of trailers and piles of trash, meant for an industrial setting, not in what should be a quiet residential family neighborhood. We also have the right not to have our property invaded by a negligent dog owner, a lying criminal who makes false police reports, cursing at us when she is warned to stop her invasions and harassment.


This aberrant and injurious behavior is truly outrageous! Somebody needs to do something about it. Sooner, rather than later.


I was told by a town official that I could make a formal complaint against Tracy Krawitt to the town by filling out a form. I haven't done that yet. I have other pressing issues to deal with that take precedence over this.

 

But I am issuing a public warning to Tracy Krawitt, whom I consider a public menace, here and now: 

 

Stay off my rental property and keep your unleashed dog out of my yard, the road where I am driving or walking. Stay away from me, and any guests I may have, who have been accosted in the past.

 

I can't stop this woman from making false complaints, nor from continuing to slander me. But if she ever invades my private yard again (for which I am paying rent for the exclusive use), I will call the police and let them deal with it. Enough already!

 

For now, this is my report for the public record.


But I need to make it clear that I have sustained tremendous damages, financially, and to my health, by the invasions of privacy, the stress and trauma, the public slander (including to the police) and intentional infliction of emotional distress by these individuals, one of whom is a known criminal.


I am seeking justice and will continue to pursue it, even if that means only exposing these people in my reports, and using any and all lawful and ethical means at my disposal.


Unlike my adversaries, the slumlord and his criminal tenant, I am a law-abiding citizen, seeking only peace and the quiet enjoyment of my home.


As stated, I can't afford a lawyer, but I do know that I have solid grounds to sue these individuals for extensive damages. If there's a lawyer out there who is interested to take the case on contingency, please contact me at:
