Here,
some excerpts from a report written in 2005 and published in January
2006, COINTELPRO REVISITED: Targeted by a Legion of Liars.
As
I have often stated, by far the hardest, most heart-breaking
circumstances in my life have been a result, not of the targeting by
government-sponsored criminals, but rather the lack of concern and
support of those from whom I believed I had such a reasonable
expectation.
I
no longer believe in such “reasonable expectations.” I now know,
from bitter experience, as the same patterns repeat themselves, over
years, that I have misplaced my faith and my hope, by investing even
the smallest amount in other people.
I
have not given up hope, far from it, for all my hope is in God. I have just given up on my attempt at
explaining anything to those people who do not understand. I have
reached the limits of my endurance for being blamed for circumstances
over which I have little or no control; for listening to the
platitudes (even delivered with “good intentions”) with which
others try to explain away what they do not understand, or to
minimize, negate or invalidate the actual issues.
Of
course I know that God works through others, in the persons of those
who do offer what support they are willing and able to provide, for
which I am very grateful.
I
remain a devout Christian. My faith in God has not diminished.
Spiritual warfare is the one endeavor no one can take from me.
For
I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
8
Romans 38-39
2
Timothy 1:7
My
enemies are the minions of Satan, exploited by demonic forces, of
that I have no doubt.
But
there is nothing more real than the love of God for His children.
Ye that love the Lord,
hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them
out of the hand of the wicked.
Psalm
97: 10
My abiding
prayer is that those who are blinded by the pervasive propaganda and
deception of the government and its owned-and-controlled media
will
recognize this monstrous evil, of targeting individuals for political
persecution, for what it is. And that out of their hatred of evil, for the love of God,
will stand up against it, wherever and whenever they may find it.

DEEMED
A LIABILITY
For the most part, people will consider the targeted individual a liability, someone to walk far away from, as quickly as possible. The character played by Gene Hackman in the film, Enemy of the State, summed it up this way: You're a liability to your friends, your family, to everyone you know. The protagonist in that film, an ex-NSA agent, knew what it was like to be a target and was warning another man who also became a target after he stumbled unwittingly into a nest of NSA vipers intent on covering up a political assassination.
Though, like most Hollywood productions, that particular film was sensationalistic in depicting the most extreme forms of persecution against the targets, the basic premise was solid. The "enemy of the state" (Target) always finds himself in a double-bind, from which there appears to be no way out.
Whatever the nature of the situation or the decision you need to make...damned if you do, damned if you don't. But this is only what the perps want the target to believe; to actually believe it and thus give up hope can be the death knell. In truth, there is usually some way out --and if so, only God knows for sure what that way is. Turning your life over to God --while refusing to ever compromise with evil-- is the only answer.
Unfortunately for the targeted individual, most associated persons' primary concern seems to be protecting themselves. And that's exactly the idea the perpetrators have in mind. Severing attachments and associations important to the Target, by design, so the target has nowhere to turn for help or solace, that is what they bank on.
It is easy to isolate a Target for one or all of the following reasons: Most people are easily intimidated by the government goons and once they get a small taste, even of low-level harassment, they are afraid of becoming real targets themselves. They cannot fathom how dire the Target's plight actually is. They are too self-centered to care about the Target's dilemma --not enough anyway, to make any real difference. Not enough to stand by the targeted individual, no matter what. This usually translates into showing a lack of loyalty to the Target or abandoning the Target altogether. Especially, as in my case, if the Target refuses to compromise her principles, sticks to her guns and stands her ground, no matter what, she usually ends up standing alone.

PSYCHOLOGICAL
PROFILING OF TARGETS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES
It is also important
to understand that the people running these ops have done extensive
background checks and created psychological profiles on each
individual who is targeted for neutralization, as well as on those
associated with, closest to, or most important to the Target. They
keep databases, filled with dossiers on various individuals.
By analyzing the psyche of a Target and of his/her associates, they attempt to predict the behavior of individuals, making it easier to foment suspicion and distrust; to orchestrate situations likely to break up families, marriages and other important personal and professional relationships. By evaluating what they perceive to be the "weaknesses" in each target's character/personality, they exploit them in any way possible. In the worst case scenario, if at all possible, they will arrange to pit the Target against those closest to him/her, thus making enemies of friends, spouses or family members.
They will even make 'pre-emptive strikes' in order to keep certain individuals also deemed a "threat to National Security" (other Targets) from ever meeting and/or having any involvement with the targeted individual, or to severely limit that involvement, as well as contact, if they have reason to believe that the two of them together could present a strong united front and be a more formidable "threat" to the perpetrators' agenda than just one of them alone.
Keeping such Targets separated --as far away from each other as possible, including geographically-- is key to their strategy of total control. But this strategy can only work if one or both of the Targets fall prey to the machinations of the perpetrators. Sadly, at least one usually does and the plot achieves its desired end.
The plots and setups spawned by the perps are at times so cleverly executed that I have seen --over and over-- one person after another who has deserted, betrayed or scapegoated me, in some cases totally unaware that they had been manipulated into doing so by third parties with their own agenda. I've also seen the same pattern operating in the cases of other targeted individuals that I have investigated or simply been a witness to.
Facing the horror of a neutralization campaign defies description, even for those fortunate enough to have real and reliable support from family, friends or a spouse (and there are some who do.) But having to face it completely alone has been nearly unbearable.
If not for the grace of God and having the faith that God is watching my back (along with those angels) even if no one else would, I could not have survived the many psychological and physical brutalities perpetrated on me by these henchmen of Satan, otherwise known as agents and operatives of the U.S. Government. Despite all the pain and heartbreak, how blessed I have been to have Friends in High Places!

EXPUNGING LOYALTY, DESTROYING
LOVE
The isolation and alienation are very effective tactics.
They work. I know this as well as anyone possibly could. These
government-sponsored criminals have put me through a living hell. But
for me, by far the hardest part to bear has been the heartbreak of
always having to be up against this brutal persecution totally alone,
day after day...week after week...month after month...year after
year...of never having even one person in all these years whom I
could RELY on to be there to back me up, to provide concrete help or
support. No family member, no close friend, no spouse. Nobody, not a
soul.
I have stressed the word "rely" for an important reason. Although it's true that I have been able to get occasional assistance, support and backup over the years, here and there, from time to time, from various individuals, it has always fallen into one or more of the following categories: temporary; inconsistent; short-lived; conditional; qualified by various circumstantial factors.
In truth, there is no substitute for having even one 'true blue' person you know you can rely on, through thick and thin. Someone who shows absolute loyalty. This is precisely the type of support the perps have always done their damnedest to make sure I could never get. Not so far anyway, and this dreadful situation has been going on for a long, long time. I am very sorry to have to admit that their plot to keep me isolated --and to foment alienation in my relationships, especially with those who may have otherwise stepped forward to help me or stood by me rather than desert me-- has met with resounding success.
I have learned --the hard way-- that ultimately, no matter what pressure is brought to bear on them, at the deepest level, in their heart of hearts, people make their own choices about such matters and will have to live with the consequences. Someday they may recognize the truth, hopefully before it's too late. Then again, maybe not. But I have no control over that. God gives us all free will, which I respect in others, just as I would hope they respect mine. You can't force people to care, can't force them to do the right thing. And we are each accountable for the intent in our hearts, the way we treat others and the choices we make.
Absolute loyalty and devotion are only possible through the love of one person for another. All real love is unconditional, it is spiritual and comes from God, which is why it is said that Love conquers all. Or that God is Love. To me, the ultimate expression of such unconditional love is shown by Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh. Although few of us can ever hope to approach the standard set by Christ, I believe His teaching to "love one another" is something to always aspire to. Only those who know God are capable of practicing such unconditional love.
Unconditional love does not mean unlimited tolerance for disrespectful, abusive or otherwise unacceptable behavior; it does not mean being a doormat. It does not mean just standing by and allowing people to do evil as they will, if they have malice in their hearts; if they are bearing false witness; if they are violating the spiritual integrity of others in any way.
Neither is unconditional love quid pro quo. Rather, it means abiding by uncompromising ethical standards, moral absolutes, in your treatment of others, caring about the spiritual and material welfare of others without setting conditions, or trying to manipulate them for your personal gratification or agenda.
Unconditional love cannot be contrived; it cannot be negotiated; it can only be felt in the heart. Such love leads one into abiding by God's commandments --respecting the loved ones' right to free will and freedom; respecting their personal boundaries, the inviolability of personhood-- and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
You may be wondering: What does any of this stuff about "love" have to do with neutralizing a target?
It is vital to understand that this is at the heart of what the perpetrators attempt to destroy: all genuine love between people, all connection to God.

It is vital to understand that this is at the heart of what the perpetrators attempt to destroy: all genuine love between people, all connection to God.
Destroying
love, destroying the loyalty of one person for another which comes
from love, creates a fertile breeding ground for the evil that
manifests in their manipulation, exploitation and control. Where
there is real love, there is no manipulation, there is no attempt at
control, exploitation or domination, there are no power struggles,
there is never slavery.
Here is the open secret which sadly, it seems few have been made privy to: Where there is true, spiritual love, evil cannot flourish.
I must say, Machiavelli had nothing on this cabal of diabolical manipulators. Their methodology seems almost fool-proof. Their goal is to isolate a target to such an extent that s/he is deprived of all companionship, friendship, any and all relationships which could provide aid, comfort --and especially-- love.
It is a known fact that an infant (not just human, but of many other species) deprived of love may die, even if other basic necessities such as food and shelter are provided. But so may an adult, eventually, if one finally succumbs to the despair of living in a world devoid of any real and sustaining love.

I have known people so targeted who have perished in just such a way --they died not of some physical assault, not of some fatal disease, but of a broken heart. If you are one of their targets, their goal is to break your heart into a million pieces. For this reason, I have often called these government-sponsored perps "the heartbreakers".
