GOVERNMENT SPOOKS & GOONS I HAVE KNOWN: A SERIES OF CRIME REPORTS SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION-PART 3: Ted Gunderson, The Franklin Coverup & the Case of MK Ultra Survivor Irene Adrian

 







 

 

 

 

 

 

IRENE ADRIAN (CIRCA 1979) 

 

PART 3 of this series covers the involvement of Ted Gunderson (albeit brief) in the case of my late sister, Irene Adrian. Irene passed away in 2021. There is no doubt in my mind that Irene's death was the direct result of the decades-long hellish persecution by CIA agents. In particular one Ronald Cerra, her onetime neighbor in Wilmington, North Carolina. Cerra was a CIA colleague of my late uncle (died 2009), Andrew Jackson Percival Jr. For at least some of the gory details on Cerra, see my reports on this site.

 

Because Irene had asked me not to publish certain information about her case while she was still alive, I respected her wishes. Anything which I have published to date has been by her explicit consent. She herself did not expose much of her history, she was not interested in becoming a whistleblower.

 

I exposed only that for which I had my sister's permission, and I had intended to make public much more information after her death, but I have had such a hard time dealing with my own extreme trauma in connection with all that happened to my sister, that it has been too painful for me. I still plan to expose what I find important, including naming the names of perpetrators who may think they have escaped notice. God willing, that will be soon.

 

Then, there is the fact that there have been a number of extremely aggressive busybodies, all claiming to have been involved as victims of MK Ultra (including mental cases, escaped from the psych ward), who have come out of the woodwork to engage in wild speculation and false accusations against my sister, whom none of them knew. The outrageous lies of these lowlife characters, these snoops and snitches, have been splashed all over their social media.

 

I have exposed some of these characters in my reports and refuted their falsehoods, but I won't name them here. I can only say that these odious interlopers know nothing about me or my family, including my sister, and that no claims made by them have any validity whatsoever.

 

For those interested, do a search for Irene Adrian, where you may find at least some of my reports.

 

Here, an excerpt from my open letter to Ted Gunderson, regarding my late sister, Irene Adrian.

 

As was usual for Ted, he just denied even knowing my sister, after I had broken off my association with him. Just like he denied so many other things.

 

Like his marriage to Diana Rively (1998), ex-wife of Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan.

 

Like selling Stinger Missiles to Osama Bin Laden (1979) while still working for the FBI (Wait...no, make that CIA.)

 

But Ted was a Super Spook, more than any other I had ever known. To him, a lie was the truth, and the truth was a lie. As long as it served his interests. 

 

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



Statements from Ted Gunderson are given preceded by his name, in quotes.

 

All the rest was written by Barbara Hartwell, just as given in the original report (2005).

 

Ted Gunderson:


"You claim your sister was molested in Omaha by Dick Cheney, was also molested by Nelson Rockefeller and she was acquainted with several principles of the "Franklin Cover Up."


John De Camp, Noreen Gosch, and I have been active in the investigation of the "Franklin Cover Up" for nearly two decades and this is the first we have heard of this concerning your sister. These statements are an attempt to "con" the readers of your open letter to Noreen into thinking that you are exposing these alleged pedophiles, when in reality, the story was investigated, written about, and documented by a British film company, years before you showed up on the scene (this is old news - but nice try Barbara)."


KNOWN CRIMINAL PERPS, DICK CHENEY, NELSON ROCKEFELLER


Yes indeed, it is correct that according to my sister's testimony, she was sexually abused ("molest" does not begin to cover it) by Dick Cheney and Nelson Rockefeller. And yes, she was acquainted with some of the principals in the Franklin case. And she has already gone public with this information, including on a radio program, hosted by Jeremy Floyd, in 2003 and also in articles she wrote. I believe my sister's allegations are truthful, based on my own investigation (only a decade, as opposed to two, but still, enough to establish the facts of the case.)


But just because you, Ted Gunderson, have been investigating the Franklin case for nearly two decades, and "have not heard of it" does not mean that you necessarily know the truth about my sister's case or her experiences. I did not say that my sister was INVOLVED as a victim of the operation known as "The Franklin Coverup". She was an adult at the time she was living in Nebraska, as I stated in my letter to Noreen Gosch.


Now, I must also be accused of "conning" the public, just because I expose the fact that my sister had been abused (by previously known perps, such as Rockefeller or Cheney); or just because she happened to know some of the other perps connected to the Franklin scandal? Simply exposing the truth about the fact that my sister suffered sexual abuse at the hands of known criminal perps does not mean that I am attempting to take credit for the separate investigations of others. Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't give a tinker's damn about "credit". My only concern is getting justice for my sister, not upstaging you or your associates. How little you know me, Ted.


Ted Gunderson:


"You state I worked with your sister. I was not not aware that you had a sister until now."


MEMORY LAPSES? SELECTIVE MEMORY? ALZHEIMERS? OR LIES?


Really? You were "not aware" that I have a sister? For your information, Irene Adrian is her name. Well, after I get over being speechless, I'll say that is a very strange claim for you to make, Ted. Considering the fact that I spoke to you on the phone numerous times in connection with Irene's situation, both before, during and after she left North Carolina to come to my home in Woodstock, where she stayed for three months, September-November in 1999 [correction: I made an inadvertent mistake in my letter to Noreen Gosch, where I said it was '97-98; it was actually '99] to escape the criminal perps, CIA operatives Ronald and Mary Ann Cerra and others, including CIA operative Chase Brandon, who had her under surveillance. I must say I am stunned by this denial of knowledge on your part.


You spoke to my sister, as well, on the phone, quite a few times, both while she was still in N.C. (you instructed her to call you from a phone booth and not from her home, which she did) and while she was at my home. You also spoke to her husband, but only once.


You also attempted to arrange a meeting for my sister with a police detective in Wilmington, by the name of Bob Catty, whom you claimed was an "expert" in investigating satanism. You told me and my sister that the police department in Wilmington, N.C. (with the exception of Catty) had been taken over by "satanists". (But isn't that what you say about almost everyone you come in contact with?)


You, Ted, also insisted that a "social worker" should be present at my sister's meeting with the police officer, Bob Catty. You even provided the name of such a person, who was ready and willing to step up to the plate, to "help". That is when my sister decided not to follow your advice. I didn't blame her. Social workers are notorious for trying to interfere – on behalf of the government – in order to make victims of crimes or targets of government persecution, look like "mental cases".


So, if a person is actually being criminally harassed by government operatives (as my sister was) it's convenient to stop justice from being done, or the perps being exposed, by relegating victims of crimes to a psychiatric ward. Social workers: They're a little like spiders. Once the intended victim gets caught up in their sticky web of bureaucratic red tape, the chances of breaking free are almost nil.


I should also state that I later found out through a confidential source (you are not the only one with these sources) that Dick Cheney had given the order to make sure my sister, Irene Adrian, was silenced and/or discredited (like maybe, by being deemed insane and placed in a psychiatric ward) one way or another.


END EXCERPT


My sister, Irene Adrian, was the victim of a lifelong horror, perpetrated by CIA. I cannot begin to even describe some of the horror, and I know I never will. I see no reason for this, as I know it will only be exploited by the hordes of scavengers on the Internet, seeking more sensationalism, chasing clicks and cash. 

 

All that happened to me (and it was bad, no doubt) was far less dreadful, in comparison. I was never sexually abused (they would not have dared!) and I was able to fight back, whereas my sister was not.


This is no negative reflection on Irene. She was a different person, with a different type of personality, different strengths and weaknesses.

 

That's what CIA does, they exploit people according to their individual nature. They also manipulate, in any way they can get away with. It wasn't so easy with me, as they later found out. I was able to escape their control and did my best to help others get out as well. 


I defended my sister, not only because I loved her (still do, always will), but because it is in my nature to protect others from bad guys, as well as to pursue justice against evildoers.


My sister was probably a far better person than I, more tolerant and forgiving, even though frustratingly naive, at times when I tried to warn her about the evildoers in our midst.


As I always say, I believe that God's Justice will be served, in God's time, which is not our time.


Because of that, I can have some peace, at least as much as this world allows.

GOVERNMENT SPOOKS & GOONS I HAVE KNOWN: A SERIES OF CRIME REPORTS SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION- PART 2: FORMER SENATOR JOHN DECAMP THREATENS LIBEL LAWSUIT AGAINST BARBARA HARTWELL- CIA BITCH, WE ARE COMING FOR YOU






 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FORMER SENATOR, ATTORNEY JOHN DECAMP

 

In this series of reports, revisiting events and issues of the past, my purpose is to provide more clarity, as my older reports tended to be lengthy, filled with details, possibly incorporating too much information – relevant, but auxiliary – at once.



I hope to remedy that by downsizing, focusing on one particular issue at a time. The original reports will still be there for reference, so nothing will be lost.



Please see PART 1 before reading PART 2. It will provide an overview and context.



GOVERNMENT SPOOKS & GOONS I HAVE KNOWN: A SERIES OF CRIME REPORTS SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION –PART 1: CHILD SEX PREDATOR JOHN DECAMP & THE FRANKLIN (DOUBLE) COVERUP

 

https://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2026/04/government-spooks-goons-i-have-known.htm

 

In order to save time in rewriting, I have used some excerpts from a previous report. In PART 2 the focus is on John DeCamp's threats of a libel lawsuit against Barbara Hartwell, and his choice of a messenger boy, in the person of Timothy Patrick White aka Tim White.

 

In March, 2005, former senator John DeCamp sent a public letter to predicate felon, career criminal, and notorious fed snitch, Tim White, titled, HARTWELL LIBEL SUIT. The letter is given in its entirety, below, in this report. This letter, libeling and demonizing Barbara Hartwell, has since been published all over the World Wide Web.


DeCamp recruited Tim White, a known criminal stalker, who has made many threats, including threats on my life, since 2002; and who has been engaging in criminal harassment of myself and many others, at least since 2001. For this, I have files full of evidence (including legal/police/court documents) and many witnesses.


Tim White has also been libeling and slandering Barbara Hartwell for five (5) years, making many wild and unsubstantiated allegations, which have absolutely no basis in fact.


Among White's libelous allegations are that I am "CIA"; "CIA BITCH"; "George Bush's trollop"; a "whore"; "sent by CIA" to target him...and many, many more, too numerous to mention here.


Tim White has boasted on many message boards that John DeCamp is his "personal friend"; and even that DeCamp is his "attorney".


White has also repeatedly harassed and threatened Barbara Hartwell in connection with the alleged DeCamp lawsuit, both by personal e-mail, and by posting his threats on public message boards. In one such e-mail message sent to Barbara Hartwell and copied to many others, White cited the DeCamp "lawsuit", and White threatened: "CIA BITCH WE ARE COMING FOR YOU."

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PREDICATE FELON TIM WHITE 

 

 

This threat clearly implied, by the use of the plural pronoun "we", in connection with DeCamp's name, that White considered himself a mouthpiece for DeCamp and others. But then, DeCamp did select Tim White as the recipient for his public threat of a lawsuit against Barbara Hartwell. For this, DeCamp will take the consequences and will be held accountable for acting in collusion with this predicate felon to threaten and otherwise harass Barbara Hartwell, causing extreme damages in various forms.


The purported purpose of this letter from DeCamp to White was that DeCamp is "seeking Barbara Hartwell's address." And who does he recruit for this task? He recruits a criminal stalker, who violates restraining orders for several stalking targets, with impunity, and who had already targeted Barbara Hartwell for criminal harassment and even death threats.


Tim White was warned, in 2002, and given a directive, NEVER to contact Barbara Hartwell, ever again, for any reason, not by phone; not by e-mail, nor in any other way.


Once such a directive is issued, further attempts at unwanted contact constitutes HARASSMENT. Add the threats (including DEATH threats), and it becomes a criminal matter. Criminal harassment, from a known stalker, predicate felon and career criminal.


And just for the record, though based on past experience, I have no reason to believe that anyone would care, the damages inflicted on me by this cadre of government-issue criminals and their minions all but completely destroyed my life.


These lowlife bastards not only made death threats, they solicited their fellow criminals to carry them out.

 

At the time of this threat from John DeCamp via Tim White, I was living in Maine, in a house I owned. In their monstrous invasions of privacy, they posted my PRIVATE, UNLISTED street address all over the Internet, along with photos of my house.


I had taken great pains to keep my street address private, for what should be obvious reasons, privacy and security. My home address was not listed in any public records under my name. As always, I used a secure P.O. box for my mail.


As a result of these criminals soliciting crimes from their fellow criminals, I was harassed at my private home, as well as sustaining thousands of dollars in damages and theft of my possessions.


The local police were aware of my situation, as I had made reports with the names of several of the criminals who were harassing and threatening me, but there wasn't anything they could really do. I lived in a small beach community, mostly a quiet place, and they were understaffed, as there was very little crime.


I have documented much of this in previous reports, in which the criminals have been named and exposed.


And the bottom line was this: Due to the ongoing harassment and persecution from government-issue liars, spooks, goons, and their hireling shock troops, I eventually was forced to sell my home, under emergency circumstances, for a fraction of its value (2010), and by 2013, was driven to homelessness. Which was the plan all along.


And worst of all, during this terrible time, there was not a soul who cared enough to help me, even though they were aware of what was happening, as I had implored their assistance.


By the grace of God, I survived. But I have lived in dire poverty ever since. All because I did all in my power to stop perpetrators in government from their tyranny and crimes against humanity, especially against the primary victims, innocent children.


It's not a new story. This type of persecution has happened to every single genuine government whistleblower I ever knew (bar none), and quite a number I did not know personally, whose cases I researched.



JOHN DECAMP E-MAIL TO TIM WHITE: HARTWELL LIBEL SUIT (2005)



Re: My Libel suit planned against HARTWELL..Need for address


"I appreciate the E mails you have provided me relative to the apparent ALLEGATIONS Ms. Hartwell is making against me, John DeCamp, personally. I DENY ABSOLUTELY & UNEQUIVOCALLY THE LIBELOUS & SLANDEROUS ALLEGATIONS MADE BY THIS WOMAN AGAINST & ABOUT ME. Further, any issues or claims she would like to make have been tested in the courts & my vindication has been documented in some detail in my book, EVERY SINGLE EDITION OF THE FRANKLIN COVER UP EVER PUT OUT, & Ms. Hartwell should know this.

Ms. Hartwell claims she got her information & documentation & proof directly from the HOLY SPIRIT, AS I UNDERSTAND IT.

I NEED your help, Mr. White, in getting Hartwell's exact address so I can enter my suit in the proper court & properly notify her of my intentions & properly serve her with legal papers.

I do NOT personally use the internet, believe it or not...have to rely on my office help & my kids (who live on the damned internet) & hence I am sending THIS FORMAL LETTER TO YOU, MR. WHITE, SO THAT YOU CAN HELP ME LOCATE THE EXACT ADDRESS OF THIS CREATURE, HARTWELL, TO PROPERLY & TOTALLY & LEGALLY & EFFECTIVELY SUE HER FOR LIBEL.

So, Tim, would appreciate your reply ASAP & you are welcome to forward this information to creature Hartwell. First thing I will do in my libel suit against her is to TAKE HARTWELL'S Deposition & deposition of INFO PROVIDER, who is, ACCORDING TO HER, THE HOLY SPIRIT...SO, SHE BETTER BE READY TO PRODUCE HER WITNESS-THE HOLY SPIRIT--OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.

I AM DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT THIS, TIM. Feel free to provide this information to Gunderson or any one you deem appropriate. I do not know why Hartwell is making her LIBELOUS claims against me, What her goals & intentions are, OR WHO IS BEHIND HER DOING THIS & FOR WHAT REASONS, but I must sue her for it.

I DO KNOW THIS. I HAVE NEVER PUT ONE THING ON THE INTERNET MYSELF DURING ALL THIS CONTROVERSY & INFORMATION SHARING ON THE GANNON MATTER OR THE WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHERE & HOW OF WHERE ALL THE INFORMATION IS COMING FROM-SO, CLEARLY, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO SHUT ME UP IN ADVANCE, I SUSPECT.

AS FOR THE WOMAN'S CLAIMS I DEFENDED KISSINGER. BULLSHIT. KISSINGER WAS THE SINGLE MOST INVOLVED & IMPORTANT INDIVIDUAL IN THE FIRING-IMPROPERLY-OF MY BEST FRIEND, C.I.A. HEAD BILL COLBY. He fired Colby improperly &, in my opinion, because Colby was revealing before the Congress (Church Committee Hearings) secrets of government wrong doing Kissinger did not want exposed.

I DID, I am sure, follow my absolute standard policy in the radio program of NOT SUPPORTING OR DEFENDING ANY ALLEGATIONS ABOUT ANYONE THAT I DID NOT PERSONALLY HAVE THE PROOF FOR. And, with respect to Mr. Kissinger, I am sure-without in any way remembering the program Hartwell claims I was on-that when "Allegations" of sexual impropriety were made about Kissinger that I would have pointed out that:

"I do not know. I do not have proof of Mr. Kissinger's sexual impropriety that is alleged & that you are asking me about."

THAT DOES NOT MEAN I AM DEFENDING KISSINGER. IT MEANS I AM PROTECTING MYSELF AGAINST LIBEL. WHY SO careful?

My book, The Franklin Cover Up, resulted in a dozen of the most powerful attorneys in America threatening me with Libel at a press conference because in my book I name the names of the Most Powerful folk in America..BUT I ALWAYS GIVE PROOF or HAVE THE PROOF READY TO GIVE IF QUESTIONED.

I replied to libel suit threats with my statement that "Truth is a Defense & I am ready to defend any libel suits filed against me."

THERE WAS NOT & HAS NOT BEEN ONE SINGLE LIBEL SUIT FILED AGAINST ME OR MY BOOK. I DARED THEM ALL TO FILE.

I however, filed MY OWN PERSONAL LIBEL suit against the "Great Atlantic Telecast Co.," out of Wilmington, North Carolina for claiming on their news broadcast that my claims about MANY powerful & prominent individuals I NAMED, were a "Lie." I WON THAT SUIT & GOT A BIG CASH SETTLEMENT (as part of the agreement I am NOT allowed to disclose the amount) & a public apology on their National TV station two nights in a row on the evening news. Based on what I have seen from Ms. Hartwell, it is my intent absolutely to file same type libel lawsuit against her.

With respect to Hartwell's claims about "Linda Wiegand" & my supposedly "cheating her or her friend" out of money in work I did for her. AGAIN, BS. . HER FRIENDS FILED A BAR COMPLAINT against me WHICH WAS INVESTIGATED FROM HERE TO HELL FREEZES OVER.


Despite the fact that State Bar hated me with a passion & would have done anything to get me (Because of book, Franklin Cover Up which named some bar members in the book,) THE STATE BAR TOTALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY CLEARED ME ON THESE CLAIMS. Fact is, Wiegand's friend-as I documented for the State Bar Investigation-SOLD HER, WIEGAND OUT, TO TRY TO GET A REWARD OF $50,000.00 & FOR OTHER EVIL REASONS.

 

Respectfully,
John W. DeCamp"
 

 

 

CLOSING COMMENTS


In an attempt to keep this report as brief as possible, just a few more comments to provide context.

 

I have already commented in much more detail, refuting these accusations from John DeCamp. Please see related report, link given below. 

 

DeCamp calls me “this HARTWELL creature” in his attempts to demonize me. The fact is, he had nothing else he could say against me and he knew it. Had there been anything at all he could have used against me, he would have come at me with guns blazing.

 

So he just went into outraged denial mode, proclaiming himself innocent of all charges, and called me names and made threats. Typical for a bully and coward who would abuse innocent children who can't defend themselves. Not on my watch.

 

As if it wasn't enough to sic his little thugs on me, like Tim White, Todd Brendan Fahey and their accomplices. Frankly, I considered it laughable that he thought he could intimidate me with these cowardly, oafish amateurs, when I could easily have kicked their asses (any weapon or none at all) if they gave me the slightest reason. I hate violence, but I do believe in self defense. If anyone directly threatens me or anyone under my protection, they will find out they have made a grave error in even thinking of mounting any kind of physical assault. 

 

In regard to the Wiegand case, without going into much detail: John DeCamp was hired as an attorney by Linda Wiegand, in connection with the abduction and abuse of her children.


Ted Gunderson was the investigator on the case. In 1998, Ted requested that I come to Connecticut (I lived in Woodstock, NY at the time) to work the Wiegand case with him. As it happened, John DeCamp did not follow through on the legal work, though he had been paid in advance. As usual, he lied.

 

Ted Gunderson knew this, so he asked me to document the facts of the case and write the legal summary, which I did. I am not an attorney, but I have enough training to do simple legal briefs.


Of course, I was exploited (as usual) but at the time Ted was my friend and I wanted to help Linda Wiegand for the sake of her children.

 

That's all I will say for now. Anyone who is interested in this case may look it up online. I was only in the background, so my name probably won't appear. At least I hope not. It would be just more grist for the toxic rumor mill which churns out black propaganda against “enemies of the state”.


So, enough for now. I once again hope that this report provides more clarity. I understand that the advocates for the late government criminals and their minions will continue hating anyone who exposes their legendary “patriot heroes” like Gunderson and DeCamp.


But there's not much they can do against me anymore. The damages are done. And though I won't see justice in this world, I still believe in God's justice, which no one escapes in the end.


Most of them are dead now, and those who remain probably don't have the resources, and don't care anymore. To them, I'm just an old battleaxe, who is no longer “relevant”.


So be it.


May God's Justice be served, for the perpetrators and the victims.

GOVERNMENT SPOOKS & GOONS I HAVE KNOWN: A SERIES OF CRIME REPORTS SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION– PART 1: CHILD SEX PREDATOR JOHN DECAMP & THE FRANKLIN (DOUBLE) COVERUP






 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PREFACE


I've decided to start a new series on this site, covering material from older reports, as well as for the purpose of documenting some related events which I have not made public. The problem is, these old reports are buried in the archives of this site, and the information contained therein rarely sees the light of day.


Not that this is necessarily important to anyone but me, but this matters to me because I have always cared a great deal about “stating the truth for the record”. That's an old legal concept, and one behind the publishing of an affidavit.


I want to know that I have published information on my site, and that it will be there (hopefully in perpetuity) for anyone who wishes to view it. They may make of it what they will. They may decide that it is legitimate and credible – or not. They may believe it – or not. They may decide that it has value – or not. They may “like” it –or not. None of that is of concern to me.


The fact is, I don't really know who reads my site. I don't have a public e-mail address, only a postal mailing address and don't solicit comments from the public. I know only what is reported in the stats for this site, which tells me that most of my readers are overseas, fewer in the U.S.


But what ever the case may be, the information is there, it is authorized by me and it constitutes my public documentation of the truth, the facts, the evidence (where possible), and including my viewpoints, my opinions, editorial content, with my assurance of good faith, in honesty and integrity.


As I have stated many times, especially in NOTICES on this site, the material published on this site is FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. The readers are free to make of it what they will. They can take it or leave it, and that is where it ends, at least for me.


I have no interest in discussing my reports with anyone from the general public, or getting into arguments or debates. For anyone who has questions, they will either find the answers in my reports, or they won't.


I am completely independent in my work. I am not beholden to anyone, not employed by any person or entity, and receive no compensation. My work has not been sold to any outlet. If anyone wants to use excerpts from my reports, or the entire report, that is fine with me, as long as they provide the proper links and accreditation.


I believe in freedom of speech. I can't stop anyone from commenting on my work, nor have ever tried. But I don't invite their comments, nor do I provide a platform for their opinions. In cases where I find defamatory content, I simply refute it, where possible. Most of it, I know I have not even seen, and so it will be ignored.


But enough of all that. It needed to be said, as I think you will see, as I get into the subject matter of this, the first in my new series on government spooks and goons I have known.


SOME RELEVANT HISTORY


I recently published a report exposing some history involving the late FBI Chief, COINTELPRO Kingpin, Ted L. Gunderson and his crony/apologist, Alex Jones.


FBI COINTELPRO KINGPIN TED GUNDERSON & ALEX (MOCKINGBIRD) JONES: A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE


https://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2026/04/fbi-cointelpro-kingpin-ted-gunderson.html


Most of the material used in that was taken from much older reports, decades ago. One of these was a very lengthy report (2005), an open letter from me to Ted Gunderson, basically a response to a public letter Ted wrote to me, published by his primary PR shill, Ken Adachi, an odious liar-for-hire who ran a large, commercial New Age/Government Disinfo website called 'Educate Yourself' (more accurately known as Indocrinate Yourself).


This lowlife character, Adachi, probably did more damage to my good name than any of his loathsome ilk, before or since. I was accused of every dastardly deed imaginable, accompanied by vicious name-calling (CIA Disinfo Agent; CEO of Liars, Inc.; The Crimson Viper; The Merchant of Venom;...and on and on in this vein...)


Adachi also solicited defamatory content from the many detractors of Barbara Hartwell, mostly consisting of current and former government agents and their shills, lackeys, toadies and sycophants.


Adachi, as far as I know, is now deceased (as are many of his accomplices in the defamation campaign against Barbara Hartwell), but his website is still online, promoting the large archive of outrageous defamatory lies against Barbara Hartwell.


Over all these years, since I first went public with my case as a CIA Black Ops survivor, as a whistleblower and advocacy journalist, I have documented a series of events, exposing crimes and corruption of government agencies (mostly CIA & FBI), their operatives, and their stooges and hirelings.


My reports have always been based on facts, furnishing evidence where possible. And I have always named the names of the perpetrators, at least those known to me.


Here is just one section of my Open Letter to Ted Gunderson, addressing the issue of the late senator and CIA/special forces operative, John DeCamp.


For those who don't know the story, this was the primary issue which got me booted off the Floyd Report on GCN, by Alex Jones and the CEO of Genesis, Michael Trudeau (2003): I exposed John DeCamp as a child sex predator, as well as Ted Gunderson's involvement in the coverup.


As for this issue, because it is still so prominent in the public eye, my purpose is to set the record straight. Most of the people who have covered this issue, regarding The Franklin Coverup, have no idea what the hell they are talking about. They were not there, they have no facts at their disposal. They never knew the principals, Gunderson, DeCamp and their cronies. They are just scavengers and opportunists, parroting the same old stories of those running the coverup, even though they are long gone. Some of these ambitious amateurs were not even born yet at the time of the events. And of course, these idiots are getting the clicks and raking in the cash. I never made a penny off my work, exposing these criminals. No, it cost me almost everything I owned, and almost cost me my life. For the record.


The Franklin Coverup was in fact a double coverup. Because, the man widely hailed as the “hero” of the story, John DeCamp, was in fact one of the perpetrators in the conspiracy, a vile rapist of children.


The following excerpt explains much of what actually happened, but I will leave it to a future report to go into more detail, which I have in my evidence files.


Lastly, John DeCamp threatened to sue me. In 2005 (2 years after the Alex Jones debacle), DeCamp launched a media rampage on many popular talk shows (radio and video) against Barbara Hartwell. It was all bluster and bullying, attempts at intimidation. Nobody has ever intimidated me, I would die first. I have zero tolerance for anyone who would harm a child, or for that matter, an innocent animal. Predators beware!


I mostly ignored DeCamp, as I knew he would not dare to sue me, as he had no idea what evidence I had against him. And no, he never did sue me, just as I predicted.

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JOHN DECAMP 

 

So for now, here is the excerpt from the old open letter to Ted Gunderson.


This should fill in at least some of the blanks about why this issue was so hot, and why I became the target of such a media firestorm, including threats on my life.



OPEN LETTER TO EX-FBI AGENT TED GUNDERSON

EXCERPT 



A PANDORA'S BOX: JIM KEITH, MK ULTRA & JOHN DECAMP


But now we come to the real Pandora's Box: the part about John DeCamp being a child molester. I am going to tell the truth now, just as I have done before. Not only will I tell the truth, but I will provide a much more detailed explanation and I will outline some things which upon information and belief, are connected to this issue.


As I mentioned earlier, what made me suspicious of DeCamp to begin with started in August 1999, when Mike Levine invited me to be a guest on his radio program, The Expert Witness Show, on WBAI in New York City. Not only was I invited as a guest, but Levine asked me to co-produce a series of programs on CIA mind control and MK Ultra. He asked me to help for two reasons (or so he said at the time): One was that he knew I had a background in radio going back to the 1970s (I was on WBAI many times in the 70s and 80s). I also produced and hosted several radio programs of my own on WGCH while living in Greenwich, CT, between 1987-1991. The second reason Mike asked me to help him was that he said he did not know anyone and had no connections/contacts with the CIA mind control issue. So he asked me to help him line up the guests.


Now, here's an interesting twist: I had asked Mike Ruppert to be a guest on the program, knowing he had done his own investigations on some (CIA) related issues. Mike Levine claimed that Ruppert was "not credible". I disagreed, certainly knowing far more about the subject at hand (CIA mind control operations) which Levine admitted he knew virtually nothing about. I stood up for Mike Ruppert, but Levine stubbornly stuck to his claim of Ruppert's "lack of credibility". When I asked for evidence to substantiate his claims, Levine offered none. I am not in contact with either Mike Levine or Mike Ruppert and haven't been for years. I don't know if they have resolved their differences.

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MIKE LEVINE: FORMER DEA AGENT, HOST OF THE EXPERT WITNESS SHOW

 

But I do know that some time later, you, Ted, named Mike Ruppert as part of a "smear campaign" against you, in your Response to Barbara Hartwell, published by Educate Yourself. Mike Ruppert never smeared you, he only told you off after he found his name listed in your report. And Ken Adachi continues his own smear campaigns against Mike Ruppert to this day. For this reason, I can only assume that Mike Ruppert knows the truth about some things that are very incriminating on you, Ted Gunderson. Why else would Adachi be attacking him?


As you know (if you remember?) I asked you to be a guest on The Expert Witness Show with me, along with Susan Ford. I was the only person to go into the studio for the interviews, since I lived in New York State, about 90 minutes from the city. Jim Keith was also lined up to be a guest on that day. But Jim never called and we could not reach him from the studio. (Jim died a month later, under suspicious circumstances, in September 1999.)


When we could not reach Jim Keith (we never found out why and never heard from him again) you suggested that John DeCamp (not a scheduled guest for the program) replace Jim Keith for that particular show. That is when I heard DeCamp defending Henry Kissinger, after Sue Ford named Kissinger as one of the perps in CIA mind control operations.


In fact, I first found out about Jim Keith's death from Mike Levine. He called me in September 1999 and told me about it. He asked if I could find out any further information through my sources and I said I would try. Mike Levine seemed very disturbed about Jim's death; also again suspicious about why it was that he had never called, as promised, and that we could not reach him the day of the taping, one month before. Levine told me that Jim had made a solid commitment to do the show; how he was looking forward to being on with Barbara Hartwell, talking about CIA mind control. 

 

It is my belief, based on my own investigations, that Jim Keith was getting too close to something very incriminating in his research. Many people will agree that Jim Keith was a crack investigator and that he had exposed certain operations which were previously well-covered up. Was the Franklin case among those operations? Maybe I will never know for sure, but then again, maybe I will.


But one thing was clear to me: Someone did not want Jim Keith on that radio show, not with me anyway.

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE LATE JOURNALIST JIM KEITH

 

 

JOHN DECAMP AND THE FRANKLIN CASE


But back to John DeCamp. As I stated in my letter to Noreen Gosch; as I have stated elsewhere, in print, in public reports and on radio, you, Ted Gunderson, certainly did admit to me that DeCamp was a pedophile and had been involved in sexual abuse of children. You deny this; you claim it is "ludicrous" for me to say this. And you then say I'm setting myself up for a lawsuit. So go ahead, sue me. If you'd like to risk perjuring yourself in a court of law, perhaps then evidence will surface, at least in regard to DeCamp himself. If you wonder if I know about such evidence, the answer is yes, I do. But I'm not the only one who knows and furthermore, it is not in my possession. (I'd really rather not have a SWAT team or other unsavory people invading my home.)


Now, let me explain something else, about how I first found out about DeCamp's involvement in the Franklin case. I've only told a few people and I don't care who believes me or who doesn't. In September 1999, after I heard of Jim Keith's untimely and suspicious death, I was very disturbed about it. Very, very disturbed. Especially after the radio interviews on MK Ultra. I was also disturbed that John DeCamp had been a champion of Henry Kissinger on the Expert Witness Show. Even Sue Ford was upset about that, as she told both of us.


(Perhaps both you and Sue will deny that too? Just like Sue later denied that she knew Don Stacey was a "Fed"? That is, after she admitted to me she knew this in August, 1999, after I warned her about him. Will there be no end to the lies and denial?)


So one night, I was saying my prayers. I asked God to reveal the truth to me about John DeCamp. The Holy Spirit would not answer me, but instead told me to go downstairs to my bookshelf and look at the picture of John DeCamp on the back of his book, The Franklin Coverup, the one you had given me.


When I looked at the photo of DeCamp (which I had never noticed before, as I had not read the book yet) the truth was revealed to me, just as the Holy Spirit said it would be. In case you doubt my capabilities in the spiritual realm, you may want to recall (if you can) that one of the ways I was utilized by CIA, as well as many law enforcement agencies, DA's offices, etc. was for my gifts of the spirit, specifically, for lack of a better term, clairvoyance. Many murder cases were solved and missing persons located, over a period of more than two decades, in which my talents as an investigator, an intelligence analyst (as well as a clairvoyant) were instrumental.


Two months later, at your son Michael's home in New Jersey, I asked to speak to you privately, as there were other people present, including your son, your daughter-in-law, Sue, her father and my bodyguard, Mario. You and I went out on the veranda to have a private conversation. I told you then that I KNEW about John DeCamp being involved in sexual abuse of children.


I did not reveal my source, only assured you that the source was absolutely trustworthy (can't get more trustworthy than the Holy Spirit) and I asked you to corroborate the truth, if you knew it. At that point, since you knew that I was in possession of this knowledge, you admitted to me that you also knew about it and that it was true. You also tried to make excuses for DeCamp, claiming that he had still "done a lot of good" for the children. Not by my way of thinking, as I told you then. As God is my witness, this is the truth. If you file a lawsuit against me, will you perjure yourself, in a court of law?

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

******************** 

That's all I have, for now. I know from experience that my reports are too long for most people to read in one sitting. That is why I've decided to break up these sections into separate reports. I hope this report has shed some light on events of the past, for those who might have been seeking clarity.

 

I plan to continue this series, as time permits and God willing.
