This
open letter was written in February, 2019, by Jack Christiana, former
Legal Director of a group called Targeted Justice. I received a copy
of the letter courtesy of human rights activists/journalists Ramola D
and Cassandra, two of the original recipients.
I
am posting this letter because the issues covered here are of great
concern to me personally, and because I stand in agreement with Mr.
Christiana's position, on principle.
I
should make it clear that I am not personally acquainted with any
members of Targeted Justice (former or current), nor have ever been
involved in their activities.
However,
the false information being promoted by certain members of the
current group, Targeted Justice, as well as their followers, has been
damaging to me personally, as well as to others with whom I am
acquainted, my allies, friends and colleagues.
Among
the current board members of TJ, are Midge Mathis, Owen Calvert,
using the pseudonym Richard Lighthouse, Katherine Horton, and Kerry
Cassidy, all of whom have promoted blatant disinformation (some of a
patently absurd nature) on various issues. Katherine Horton is
running a defamation campaign against Ramola D, Barbara Hartwell (whom she
claims is a “CIA plant”, a “bitch”, and other epithets), and
others. Horton, like Mr. “Lighthouse”, flagrantly advocates for
unlawful activities, including monstrous invasions of privacy, what
amounts to stalking. Horton has actually issued statements which are
solicitation of MURDER, as well as inciting violence and terrorism.
In
summary, I should make it clear that in my opinion, anyone who is
promoting, supporting or endorsing the group Targeted Justice (and/or the above named individuals) is an
accomplice to their wrongful and injurious actions, and should be
shunned by reasonable, honorable, sincere and law-abiding activists
who stand on principle, for REAL JUSTICE.

An Open Letter to the Global Targeted Individual Community
An Open Letter to the Global Targeted Individual Community
Hello
Targeted Individuals,
This
is Jack Christiana, a fellow target of extreme abuse for the past
eleven years. I’m writing to share some significant changes to
Targeted Justice as well as transitions that are actually positive
news, both of which potentially affect the entire TI community.
I
was the Legal Director and on the Board of Directors of Targeted
Justice (TJ) from December 2017, when TJ was formed, until February
6, 2019. And now recently, several of us discovered that TJ has
veered off course. According to its mission statement, Targeted
Justice is “a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to
exposing and ending the Targeting Program through public awareness,
education, and both federal and local legal actions for Targeted
Individuals.” Yet over the last several months, one of the team
members, Winter Owen Calvert (also known as “Richard Lighthouse”)
has drifted into criminality and is recommending that TIs do the
same. This endangers and discredits Targeted Justice, Targeted
Individuals who follow his recommendations, and all TIs generally.
Other
Targeted Justice advisers and I tried hard and made many attempts to
address the problem (including official letters by me on January 6,
2019, January 10, 2019, and January 16, 2019) to the TJ Board and
Team, but all our efforts were met with resistance and defiance. In
the end, Mr. Calvert and the organization made no changes.
Owen
Calvert (Richard Lighthouse) has written eBooks that are currently
available on publicly accessible websites. In the first two, he
publishes in intimidating fashion personal information about Air
Force and Department of Homeland Security employees he accuses of
involvement with targeting. The information includes the names of
their children and spouses and their home addresses. Although we
didn’t realize it initially, by “doxing” federal employees who
hold sensitive positions in this way, Mr. Calvert potentially commits
multiple felony counts. We warned the Targeted Justice Board about
this when we discovered it but they inexplicably gave it no weight,
which is when the rift and impasse began. In another eBook, Mr.
Calvert recommends that TIs submit false information (federal crime)
falsely representing themselves (federal crime) for the purpose to
abuse the current FBI terrorist watchlist until it is overwhelmed and
useless, and becomes a joke (federal crime). The three eBooks are:
Treason
at the Air Force Space Command - Criminal threats to federal
employees (18 U.S. Code § 119. Protection of Individuals Performing
Certain Official Duties) 5 years each count.
The
Governors of Gangstalking - Criminal threats to federal employees
(18 U.S. Code § 119. Protection of Individuals Performing Certain
Official Duties) 5 years each count.
Targeted
Individuals Standard Nomination Form – Recommendations that
people make useless and a joke (sabotage) the FBI Terrorist Screening
Database (18 U.S. Code § 1001. Statements or entries generally) 5
years each count. If you are involved with Richard Lighthouse, that
can make you complicit with his federal threats and federal crimes
related to terrorism.
We
plan to expose this targeting program and win justice! In
order to do so, we need the public, the media, politicians, human
rights groups, donors, attorneys and law enforcement to know that we
are on the good side of the fight. If we get into crimes and crimes
related to terrorism, our credibility will be destroyed. The
public will consider us thug criminals, the politicians will not give
us meetings to address this, the media will write negative stories,
human rights groups will not donate money for class action lawsuits,
attorneys will not work with us, and the good law enforcement will
not care about us either. What was the thinking process? How do these
actions help get donations, get positive articles, or get meetings
with politicians? They do not. They hurt that goal and strategy.
They hurt Targeted Individuals.
What
would you think if the American Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, or any
respectable non-profit organization had an integral team member that
was involved in the federal crimes of 1) making public threats to
employees of the government and 2) encouraging members to falsely
represent themselves and submit false information to the FBI’s
terrorist watch list?! Responsible organizations would immediately
terminate the person from any association with the organization. But
Targeted Justice six days later actually PROMOTED Owen Calvert
(Richard Lighthouse) to the Board of Directors! Richard Lighthouse is
still an official spokesperson for Targeted Justice. This is
dangerous for those TIs who follow his advice and makes TIs worldwide
look bad because Targeted Justice is supposed to represent all
Targeted Individuals.
I
sent a letter to Owen Calvert (Richard Lighthouse) and the Team that
as Legal Director of Targeted Justice, I must protect Targeted
Justice and all Targeted Individuals. So I demanded Lighthouse
retract his recommendation of crimes related to terrorism and federal
threats – or – I will contact the authorities including the FBI.
Instead, Richard Lighthouse defended his actions and told Targeted
Justice Team that he is doing nothing wrong. This is not private as
Lighthouse has all this on the internet. It would be used against us
sooner or later. So I gave a second warning to Lighthouse and the TJ
Team that it is my legal duty, fiduciary duty, and ethical duty, as
Legal Directors of this 501c3 civil rights organization that I have
no choice but to notify the authorities if the eBooks weren’t
removed.
Mr.
Calvert and the organization still made no changes. So to protect
Targeted Justice, each of the Board of Directors personally, and –
especially - all Targeted Individuals, I notified the FBI that we
disavow all these federal threats and federal crimes related to
terrorism. I did my legal duty, fiduciary duty, and ethical duty to
protect the reputations and credibility of Targeted Justice and
Targeted Individuals. In response, six days later the board asked me
to resign, which is a federal crime with up to 10 years in prison (18
U.S. Code § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim, or an
informant) and removed my name from the website.
TJ
Advisory Board member Karen Stewart made valiant efforts to address
this. After her requests fell upon deaf ears, she resigned from
Targeted Justice. Another member of the Board of Directors resigned
from the board. Other previous TJ leaders like Hope Franklin also
entirely left TJ. Other significant Advisory Board members have
announced plans to resign.
We
are now forming a new organization with a strong emphasis on public
awareness about targeting as well as legal information on both local
and federal lawsuits. We will be honest and transparent with you. We
will officially announce this new organization, Targeted America, in
a week or two. In the interim, you can follow us on Twitter.
We
will be stronger. I promise you that we will expose and end this
program as it is now. I will never stop fighting. And because I
reported Mr. Calvert’s illegal activities, law enforcement and the
FBI now know - what we have always known –that we TIs really are
the good people!
Thank
you all so much for having faith and confidence in Targeted
Individual leaders. We will not let you down.
Jack
Christiana
