EXTREME PREJUDICE: The Government's War on American Whistleblowers


  
by Barbara Hartwell & Geral Sosbee
 
 
O LORD my God, I take refuge in you;
save and deliver me from all who pursue me;
 
Lest like a lion they tear me in pieces
and snatch me away with none to deliver me.
 
O LORD my God, if I have done these things:
if there is any wickedness in my hands,
 
If I have repaid my friend with evil,
or plundered him who without cause is my enemy;
 
Then let my enemy pursue and overtake me,
trample my life into the ground,
and lay my honor in the dust.
 
Stand up, O LORD, in your wrath;
rise up against the fury of my enemies.
 
Awake, O my God, decree justice;
let the assmebly of the peoples gather round you.
 
Be seated on your lofty throne, O Most High;
O LORD, judge the nations.
 
Gice judgment for me according to my righteousness,, O LORD,
and according to my innocence, O Most High.
 
Let the malice of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous;
for you test the mind and heart, O righteous God.
 
God is my shield and defense;
he is the savior of the true in heart.
 
Psalm 7: 1-11
 
 
PART ONE
 
This report, co-authored by Barbara Hartwell and Geral Sosbee, will shed light on the true nature of  counterintelligence operations, specifically regarding the campaigns of retaliation against government whistleblowers, otherwise known as neutralization with extreme prejudice.
 
Due to its length, it will be presented in two parts.
 
It should first be made clear that when a person enters government service (police, military, FBI, CIA, etc. etc.) the oath taken is to follow orders, but there is a caveat: They must be LAWFUL orders, and the oath requires upholding and defending the Constitution (the Supreme Law of the Land), against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and operating under the Rule of Law, established by the Constitution.
 
We are NOT required to "follow orders" that are LAWLESS or UNconstitutional. If a superior orders a person under his/her command/supervision to commit a lawless act, or aid and abet in any crime, it is our duty, as defenders of the Constitution to REFUSE.
 
Those government whistleblowers being persecuted and targeted for neutralization, deemed "enemies of the state" or "enemy combatants", are in fact acting lawfully. The true subversives and "enemies of the state" are the criminals in government, which at this point include just about every member of Congress and the Senate (and obviously, the constitutionally ineligible usurper occupying the White House), for FAILING TO OBEY THE CONSTITUTION. Period. Case closed.
 
Geral Sosbee wrote this note to me a few weeks ago:
 
"Barbara,
 
The nightmare life continues against me and I am truly worn down. The world may not know or even care that the horror put on me is waiting to be used on others by the enemy of mankind (the fbi, cia, police community and their stooges.) I believe that in the future the plan of attack on a Target will be more deadly because the assassins of this government need to more expeditiously and more permanently silence voices of dissent."
 
Until May, 2014 I hadn't spoken to Geral since late summer of last year, when I called to wish him a happy birthday.  Geral and I, as best friends and professional colleagues of thirteen years, have a sort of unspoken agreement, that if one of us is going through a particularly bad time, the other intuitively knows and understands that the withdrawal from contact is necessary in order to focus all attention and efforts on the battle for survival; simply put, there are certain times we know we must fight alone. The value of such a friendship is inestimable, because you know that the friend will always be there, no matter what --never having to worry that your silence will be taken as a lack of caring, or interpreted as abandonment.
 
Always in my heart, always in my prayers, you are my friend, forever and ever. 
 
It is my belief that a true friendship lasts a lifetime, and is primarily defined by respect, trust and loyalty, not granted blindly or gratuitously, but earned over time, and based on shared spiritual and ethical values and principles.
 
In 2013, I lost nearly everything I owned; was forced to leave my beloved Maine, where I had lived for more than a decade, and for a brief time became homeless --which had never happened in my entire life, no matter how extreme the persecution against me by the government. True, I had moved literally dozens of times, from place to place, to different states, back and forth, as I was never "allowed" to have a stable, permanent  home (probably my greatest strictly personal desire), or develop any kind of lasting support network, comprised of a community of friends, family and fellowship of Christian believers. By design, I was always placed under extreme stress, left to fend for myself as best I could, just struggling to survive.
 
After months of sheer hell, being uprooted yet again, losing yet another home; being utterly destitute, and not knowing where I could possibly go to find even temporary sanctuary; not being able to find the kind of assistance (material  and otherwise) I needed; and the actual abandonment and/or ill treatment by a number of those persons from whom I'd thought I had a reasonable expectation of true concern and support, I was finally able to relocate to New York State, where I had previously lived on and off for many years.
 
Praise God! I was delivered, my prayers were answered. But about all that, for now, I will say no more.
 
This report exposes the true nature of neutralization campaigns, which as those of us who have been targeted for these campaigns can attest, are incredibly brutal, and difficult, at best, to survive. The Target is relentlessly assaulted (one way or another) in such a way that severe stress and recurring trauma become the norm, and so the person becomes habituated to a lifestyle of having to prepare a continually changing defense system;  on each occasion, to decide between flight and fight, because the objective of the perps is to totally destabilize the Target's life, to rip away all sources of comfort and support. As I've stated many times in my reports: CIA Psy Ops 101. Isolation, alienation, deprivation.
 
Probably the most daunting and emotionally distressing problem we face is that the perpetrators are working covertly, in an organized effort, under 'plausible deniability'; thus, it is extremely difficult to convey to others the truth of what is actually happening to us, and so we are denied the support and assistance we so desperately need.
 
Friends, family and colleagues, rather than being willing to listen, with an open mind and compassionate heart, will often try to minimize our circumstances (Oh, come now, it couldn't be all that bad, chin up, stop being so negative, think positive!...); discount our reports of persecution (Well, I don't see how that could be happening, that's too outlandish to be true...); blame the victim of persecution (You know, I really think you have some 'issues'. You really should have done such-and-such, then you wouldn't be in this situation. You're just taking the consequences of your own irresponsibility...blah blah blah...); and worst of all, impugn our sanity (I really think you're paranoid. Why would the government see you as a threat? The government doesn't do those kind of things, they're there to help and protect us...) Etc. etc. etc....
 
Geral Sosbee:
 
"In abandoning me, my former fellow agents (and all current agents), family, friends & colleagues in academia and law also abandon human rights interests, truth, honesty, & freedom, thereby causing all of the people in one way or another to suffer because the few who know or learn of the truth of our reports and who hide same (or otherwise by inference cover up such atrocities) become accessories to crimes against humanity and other high crimes and misdemeanors that we labor to bring to light."
 
"...and what kind of sick agency would turn all, every single associate of mine (for 7 1/2 years) away from me during the fbi campaign to silence me from reporting their heinous crimes!"
 
"What is a man if he so swiftly abandons a fellow worker when convenient?  Such are the men and women of the fbi, having no loyalty, neither to friends, nor to the nation."

"Here is the fact: For the average fbi agent, a sense of humanity has been programmed out of his lexicon; he is by indoctrination a sociopath with obedience to the macabre culture that breeds, pays and feeds him. He is not a man whom most would want to befriend. He is a traitor and often an assassin."
 
MICHAEL C. RUPPERT, "TRACKER OF TRUTH" 
 
February 3, 1951- April 13, 2014
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"I've been walking the walk I've been walking for 35 years, being called an idiot, being attacked, threats on my life, being discounted...being a faithful scout who brought the reports back, and over time my reports have been found to be honorable and true."
  
--Michael C. Ruppert from documentary, Apocalypse, Man
 
 
"Mike Ruppert's plight, his story, appeals to a collective paranoia that has been cultivated in most of us. 'They' really are everywhere. And because we concede that much, we also must concede the possibility that Ruppert's private obsession is some aspect of responsibility the rest of us have failed to assume."

--Randall Sullivan, Los Angeles Herald Examiner, 1981
 
Michael Ruppert committed suicide on April 13, 2014. I didn't learn of his death until more than a month later, as I don't spend much time on the Internet, and haven't traveled in the same circles as Mike, nor kept track of his work, for  roughly a decade. His death came as a terrible shock, however, and has been a source of deep distress and sorrow for me, especially knowing that he had been put through a living hell for so many years, as a direct result of the government's retaliatory campaign against him.
 
Though I hadn't kept in contact with Mike, I always did consider him a kindred spirit. Mike and I came from a very similar family background: CIA/Military Intelligence, going back to OSS, on both sides of our families, respectively. Mike's mother was a cryptanalyst (code breaker); so was my father, who was Military Intelligence (Army G-2) during WW2. (And the rest is classified...) Mike and I were born in the same year (1951), only about a month apart. 
 
And most significantly, we have suffered the same sort of longterm persecution from the Agency we both rejected (Mike refused when they tried to recruit him, and I became a defector), and whose massive criminality we later exposed, as a matter of integrity and honor, and in defense of Liberty. 
 
Michael C. Ruppert was a government whistleblower, former LAPD investigator, journalist, radio talk show producer/host, and Patriot Extraordinaire, and aside from his investigation of 9/11 (Crossing the Rubicon, published 2004) is probably best known for exposing CIA drug-trafficking, and his public confrontation with CIA Director John M. Deutch --which shortly thereafter resulted in Deutch stepping down as DCI.
 
Mike's original website, Cop Vs. CIA, later became From the Wilderness, where he exposed government corruption --of much of which he had direct personal knowledge. That is a key factor --direct personal knowledge-- for which there is no substitute. When this knowledge is backed by solid evidence, it becomes a very serious threat to those in positions of power  who are abusing their authority and betraying the public trust.
 
I first got to know Mike Ruppert sometime in the late '90s, while I was working to expose CIA black operations in which I had been involved, including MK Ultra. In August 1999, I was invited to be one of several guests on The Expert Witness Show (WBAI, NYC), hosted by Mike Levine, former DEA agent and government whistleblower, author of Deep Cover (later made into a film of that name) and The Big White Lie, exposing CIA drug running and sabotage of DEA operations.
 
Mike Levine had planned a series of radio programs on CIA MK Ultra, and knowing that I was not only a survivor of the operation, but also had an extensive professional  background in electronic media, radio/TV production and as a talk show host, asked me to be a co-producer for the series.
 
Mike Levine asked me to help line up some guests who were survivors of MK Ultra and/or knowlegable investigators of its operations. At the time I was still working with "retired"  FBI Chief Ted Gunderson, and had yet to discover his true identity as J. Edgar Hoover's primary COINTELPRO Kingpin, a shocking fact I was to learn only a few months later.
 
[NOTE: I subsequently began my own investigation on Gunderson, which by 2000 caused me to break off my professional association and personal friendship with him. Thus began an adversarial relationship (and media war) which was to last until 2011, the time of Gunderson's death, but continues on via Gunderson's gaggle of minions, lackeys and stooges, who to this day keep on with the relentless libel/slander/criminal harassment campaign against Barbara Hartwell.] 
 
So of course, I suggested Ted Gunderson as one of the "expert witnesses" for the program, given that he had been "investigating" CIA MK Ultra and was on the radio/TV/ lecture circuit with a number of "survivors", all of whom were (one way or another) part of the controlled opposition/"Monarch" sideshow. 
 
Monarch was never a part of CIA MK Ultra, as I have exposed repeatedly in my reports/radio broadcasts over the past two decades. Monarch was meant to divert attention from genuine intelligence operatives trained under MK Ultra, groomed as "the perfect spy" during the Cold War era. I was one of only a few legitimate MK Ultra survivors with a bona fide CIA background of many years, ever to have been involved with Ted Gunderson's operations; and I cut the ties once I recognized that Gunderson was not a whistleblower, but was running a containment operation/protection racket.  
 
I also contacted Mike Ruppert and asked him to be on the Expert Witness  program with me. Mike and I had spoken on the phone numerous times, discussing all manner of subjects, especially CIA operations, our similar family backgrounds and the neutralization campaigns being run against us and mutual acquaintances. Mike was as outraged as I was about the out-of-control U.S. government and its war on its own citizens, especially egregious against those of us who had been in government service, and were "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore", and were doing something about it by exposing the corruption and demanding accountability.
 
But oddly enough (as I thought back then), though he agreed to be a guest, Mike Ruppert did not appear on the program.  The host, Mike Levine, had suddenly and inexplicably decided that Ruppert "lacked credibility", and since I was the one who had invited Ruppert to participate, it was left to me to deliver the news of Levine's decision. I felt awful about this; I couldn't understand it, because Mike Ruppert was one of the most credible, trustworthy sources I knew. He had done his own investigations, and unlike many others who purported to be "exposing " vital information on CIA operations, he knew what he was talking about.
 
And although I took Ruppert's side and defended him, in an attempt to persuade Levine to change his mind, my efforts failed. Levine seemed adamant in his position, though he offered no real explanation, and since it was his show, I had to respect his wishes.
 
I should make it clear that it is not my intent to cast suspicion on Mike Levine, whom I respect and who has done great work in exposing the "Criminally Insane Agency". I am only reporting the facts and events which transpired at that time.  
 
It has taken me fifteen years (and Mike Ruppert's death) to understand the real reasons why Mike was excluded from the program, though back then, the truth was right in front of my eyes and I simply did not see it. As you read on, the answers will become clear, most notably in the plots hatched by Super Spook Ted Gunderson and his accomplices.
 
Immediately upon learning of Michael Ruppert's death, I dedicated much time to searching for related information. It was important to me to understand what had happened, and why.
 
I watched the videos, Collapse, and Apocalypse, Man, as well as a number of his radio/TV interviews. I read commentaries written by Mike's friends and colleagues. In all this, what I found very disturbing were the "conspiracy theories", and speculation that Mike's death was not a suicide, but rather an "assisted suicide" by government perps.
 
So please, if you are in any doubt, watch this video:
 
The Death of Mike Ruppert, narrated by Jack Martin
 
  
Which provides all the facts, a timeline of events, and all the evidence any intelligent, discerning person would need to understand that Mike Ruppert in fact planned and executed his own death, whether or not he was "driven" to it by the neutralization  campaign against him.
 
Also see:
 
 
Worst of all, among the many commentators, there were those who had the arrogance, the lack of compassion and sensitivity, to pass judgment on Mike Ruppert, calling him a coward, and/or aggrandizing themselves at his expense.
 
One such individual, calling himself  "Mark Dice", whose real name appears to be Mark Shouldice (but also using the alias "John Conner") had this to say:
 
 "....and let this also be a lesson to those who get a little too wrapped up in the negative aspect of the new world order... you know, poor Michael Ruppert just stared too long into the abyss, too deep and just simply lost hope. You know, sometimes you got to climb out of the rabbit hole, stick your head out at least and kind of smell the flowers. Smell the roses, get some fresh air. You know, it should be FUN and exciting, fighting these scumbags, it should be FUN ridiculing these losers, these propaganda masters. Unfortunately if you're going to just off yourself like that, that's what they want, that's one less soldier in the resistance fighting against these losers...The fight should be exhilirating!....."
 
SOURCE:
 
Mike Ruppert Dead from Suicide....
 
 
I'd never heard of this character, Mark Dice, but from his insulting and condescending comments about Mike Ruppert, I know all I need to know. How dare he presume to make such judgments? How dare he presume to decide what another person "should" be feeling, thinking, believing? And who is he to report with such self-righteous, self-appointed authority on the "state of mind" of Mike Ruppert? His amateur psychoanalysis only reveals his own profound ignorance and shallowness, and nothing whatsoever about the life of Mike Ruppert, or what was in his heart.
 
Furthermore, what direct personal experience has Mr. Dice ever had in dealing with intelligence agencies? How could he claim to know what it would feel like to be persecuted with "extreme prejudice", to be harassed for years on end, to have his life threatened, to be continually stalked, provoked, libeled and slandered? To be driven into homelessness, more than once, to be financially ruined, so impoverished he couldn't even pay his rent?
 
Answer: It is very obvious, listening to his comments, that Mr. Dice wouldn't know, and that he doesn't have a clue. If Mark Dice's idea of  "FUN" is fighting a deadly cabal intent on destroying lives, or dodging bullets and continually looking over your shoulder in efforts merely to survive the persecution, then let him live in his little fantasy world of Grade B spy thrillers, of amateurs and wannabes. 
 
As part of his spiel, Dice boasts, "I've been at this for ten years" (supposedly, fighting the 'bad guys'). Try nearly 4 DECADES, like Mike Ruppert. Decades of blood, sweat and tears, knowing that the most powerful forces of evil, in positions of authority were plotting against you, simply because you had the integrity and courage to stand up and tell the truth. To defend your country against a corrupt government who is hell-bent on destroying it. Because in good conscience, you couldn't just walk away, so you took a stand; and you stood alone, even when no one was there to support you. Try that, Mr. Dice, then come back and tell us all about how much "fun" you had.
 
I can guarantee that he is not a Target of these people (the bad guys), nor does he pose any threat to them. He's just another armchair warrior, a keyboard commando, seeking attention and talking about things he doesn't begin to understand. Shame on you, Mark Dice (or Mark Shouldice, John Conner, or whatever the hell your name is...)
 
FORMER FBI AGENT/WHISTLEBLOWER GERAL SOSBEE & MIKE RUPPERT
 
It so happened that shortly before I learned of Mike Ruppert's death, I had been discussing with my friend Geral Sosbee the need of an updated and comprehensive report on the brutal and relentless persecution being directed against him. Geral's reports tend to be short and published only sporadically, due to the fact that he has no regular access to a computer (the enemy has destroyed the ones he had), but must be written and posted under the pressure of time limits imposed by the places where he does have access.
 
It amazes me that he is even able to do this, considering the harassment for which he is targeted, and especially so in the only library close enough to where he lives.  He is accosted by government thugs on a regular basis, in attempts to provoke him, with the intent of finding an excuse to arrest him, should he respond to the assaults in his own defense.
 
Geral Sosbee:
 
"The UT POLICE put out a BOLO (not far in reach from an APB, on me while they and fbi send thugs to assault & provoke me. They all stand by ready to arrest me on campus if I defend against the thugs' assaults. I am trained to defend and the thugs all know this, but I knew that I must not defend."
 
 
I decided to include a tribute to Mike Ruppert in the report, for Geral's experiences as a targeted whistleblower, and the enemies he faces, are in large measure, the same.
 
Geral Sosbee:
 
"I had one phone conversation with Mike Ruppert around the period from  2001-2003, as I was enduring extreme assaults on me by the fbi, as I have documented in "My Story In Detail."
 
 
Mike advised me that each Target of fbi/cia covert neutralization campaigns experiences unique assaults (psych & phys) tailored for that specific Target. I have since learned that 'neutralization' means forced suicide, imprisonment, or death by government.

Mike elaborated that government agents use weaknesses of the Target (or vulnerabilities) in order to incapacitate the particular Target. I was grateful to speak with Mike and I recognized that he was focused primarily on his efforts to expose cia crimes and that his life was very difficult at that time. When I learned of his suicide, I at long last accepted the notion that this government in all branches is at war with America's true patriots & heroes (like Mike Ruppert himself) because a patriot does not accept murderous tyranny by corrupt USA officials.
 
I also thought that truthful expositors/whistleblowers like Barbara Hartwell and I were being slowly and inhumanely targeted in a manner consistent with Ruppert's explication referenced above. Since my talk with Ruppert, I have accepted the reality of our times: that the evil of the USA (as perpetrated by fbi, cia, et al) is responsible for the ongoing global carnage and suffering; that few persons seem to care, and about which no one in government openly seeks to address." 
 
In 2002 I sadly announced these  concepts to the world: 
 
 
MIKE RUPPERT: IN HIS OWN WORDS
 
From Mike Ruppert's most recent website, here are some excerpts from an autobiographical article.
  
 
"My mother was a Cryptanalyst, or code breaker, at the recently renamed National Security Agency."
 
"There was a lot my parents never talked about.  Relatives of my father had worked for the CIA’s forerunner, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and were now employed at the newly-created Central Intelligence Agency. It was a standing joke between my parents and me when I would come home from school and ask what was for dinner. They would always respond, “We can’t tell you. It’s a secret.”
 
"I was soon to be of draft age, and the Vietnam War loomed large in every American’s life. My father insisted that I would never go to Vietnam because that war was “really fouled up”. He was in a position to know. I personally opposed the war deeply… but silently. I wanted to be a cop, and knew that open protest would ruin my chances. I was taken by a desire to follow in the family tradition and place myself in harm’s way for a good cause – a rite of passage and an initiation."
 
"What I didn’t know was that, when I had applied for the PSW program, a background check on me had revealed something that even I didn’t know: namely that I held a “Q”, which was a secret compartmentalized clearance above Top Secret in the American Defense establishment. The letter “Q” meant that I was cleared to handle or see material related to atomic warfare in case my father left his briefcase open. It had been a customary practice to obtain clearances for family members of those involved in the most-sensitive government work. This was the first time I had heard of it."

"The clearance caused some automatic assumptions about my belief systems. I was exposed to secret intelligence operations involving the government, its military and the police department. I kept my mouth shut and didn’t fully comprehend that what I was seeing were elements of a program, known as COINTELPRO. It was an anti-subversive operation run jointly by the FBI and CIA from the 1960s. It had no significance for me until I was to feel its sting directed toward me, starting in early 1979. That was to last until 2007 because I have had a habit – as some have called it – of thrusting sticks into hornet’s nests to see what would happen."

"In the spring quarter of 1973, I was flown back to Washington, D.C. where the CIA attempted to recruit me officially. Their offer was that I would become a CIA case officer, and then go back through the Los Angeles Police Department’s academy to be a police officer as a cover. At the time, that was illegal, and did not appeal to me in the least. In fact, it made me feel very uncomfortable. I never followed up on the stack of papers the CIA man in the Old Executive Office Building had given me. I was too full of a desire to crush crime. By December of 1975, when I had more than two years on the job as a badge-and-gun police officer, I thought the CIA meeting had been long forgotten... I was mistaken."

"In December of 1975, I “met” a very beautiful woman, who was a career contract agent for the CIA. She kept this secret from me for five months. Her name was Teddy, and she had been sent to meet and recruit me by unconventional means. We became engaged and shortly after that she revealed that her people wanted me to work for them, and that they were the U.S. Government."

"Teddy had made it clear that her people were focused entirely on a guns-for-drugs trade, and that they had no interest in stopping or seizing certain narcotics shipments."

"Once it became clear to me that I would be asked to allow narcotics to be delivered to the street, I flatly and categorically refused. It would have been a violation of a code of honor which had been deeply instilled in me. Within short order my fiancée disappeared, and I was to spend the last two years of my five-year tenure at the Police Department in constant fear. It had been revealed, and was to be confirmed years later, that, throughout its history, the CIA had routinely contracted key personnel in major police departments around the country and also placed CIA officers under cover as a standard procedure, even though it was illegal."

MIKE RUPPERT, BARBARA HARTWELL & TED GUNDERSON

In March 2001, Ted Gunderson wrote an open letter to Barbara Hartwell, titled A RESPONSE TO BARBARA HARTWELL. It was published by Ken Adachi, one of the most notorious and despicable criminal perpetrators among the controlled opposition, and the primary PR shill for Ted Gunderson, on his website, 'Educate-Yourself'.

Earlier that year, I had written a report which was the first published documentation which stated my reasons for breaking off my association with Ted Gunderson. It should  be noted that this report revealed only a small fraction of what by that time I had learned about the criminal activities of Ted Gunderson et al, both while he was still officially in FBI service, and after he "retired". I cited little more than "irreconcilable differences", as my purpose at that time was to set the record straight about false rumors circulating about me and Ted.  To be fair, I gave Ted credit, at least, for behaving like a gentleman in his treatment of me. What little I did expose was the simple truth.

Ted's so-called "response" to Barbara Hartwell was in fact not a response to me at all.  Rather, Ted used it as a window of opportunity to implement some damage control, and to take shots at a number of other researchers, investigators, journalists and survivors of government black ops, using me as a convenient scapegoat.

As regards his attitude to me, Ted took a patronizing tack, playing the role of the injured-but-forgiving party, claiming that I was "under CIA mind control", which was the reason I had "turned against" him. He stated: "I have no animosity against Barbara. I love her and always will."

But only a few years later (2005), in another open letter to Barbara Hartwell, he took the gloves off, and made this accusation: "You admit you were once in the CIA. There are no alumni in the CIA. Once a CIA agent, always a CIA agent. If you attempt to get out or expose them, you either go to jail or you die."
 
And even more outrageous:

"Do the righteous people of the world a service and, like other slimy creatures, slither back into the hole from which you came."
 
 Ex-FBI Agent Geral Sosbee, as always, came to my defense:
 
"There are no alumni in the CIA. Once a CIA agent, always a CIA agent. If you attempt to get out or expose them, you either go to jail or you die"
   
"...is the rule, but you are proof that he is wrong; the same applies to me and the assassins of the fbi who are trying to kill me in the only cowardly manner they know. My question for gun is why he does nothing to expose the crimes against Humanity that are currently ongoing; and further, with his vast experience as a fbi chief, why he has not confessed to the world of his many crimes against the American people."
 
"Do the righteous people of the world a service and, like other slimy creatures, slither back into the hole from which you came."
 
Sosbee, to Ted ('the gun', as we called him) Gunderson:
   
"ted gunderson, former fbi chief, verbally assaults a true American Hero, Barbara Hartwell, by the use of language that reveals gun's own warped character."
 
Mike Ruppert was one such individual whom Gunderson included in his open letter to Barbara Hartwell, and ironically, labeled a "disinformation specialist". Disinformation, black propaganda, the libel/slander campaigns based on outrageous fabrications, which  Gunderson directed against "enemies of the state" (genuine whistleblowers, activists and journalists) have since become legendary, as COINTELPRO, once a "secret" operation, has become widely known over the last decade, thanks to the efforts of whistleblowers/journalists like Mike Ruppert, Geral Sosbee, Dr. Len Horowitz, Sherri Kane and others.

This letter written by Mike Ruppert was published in the Ted Gunderson Data Dump, on a site called News Making News, out of the San Francisco Bay area, along with some of my reports, exposing Ken Adachi (more on this diabolical liar later) and Ted Gunderson.
 
MIKE RUPPERT RESPONDS TO TED GUNDERSON'S ACCUSATION
 
[re Gunderson's Open Letter to Barbara Hartwell]
 
March, 2001

Dear Kate:

Since I see that Ted Gunderson has taken a swipe at me too and accused me of being a "disinformation specialist" let me just take a minute to respond in support of all the brave women who have taken him on. And truly, a minute is about all the time that his pitiful message is worth.

I would also hope that at some point journalist Cheri Seymour - whose great book "The Last Circle," describes in detail Gunderson's relations with Michael Riconosciuto and the openly exposed CIA operative Robert Booth Nichols - might join the ranks of those nailing Gunderson for his rather comical actions. I have a copy of an envelope, given to me by Seymour, wherein Gunderson's own handwriting discusses his participation in a drug transaction. Her documentation of Gunderson's connections to weapons, drugs and Promis software and illegal activities at the Cabazon Indian reservation is above reproach.

As to Gunderson's reference to me let me just state that Gunderson was the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Los Angeles FBI office in 1978. It was then that I went to the L.A. Office of the FBI seeking help when, as an LA Police Officer, my life was in danger after discovering that the CIA was dealing drugs. Under Gunderson's direction the L.A. office took the public position that I was crazy and refused me any assistance even though I had a tape recorded death threat in my possession and an attorney at my side verifying my allegations and the documentary evidence I presented.

I did not know until 1999 that it was Gunderson who had been running the LA office in 1978. I even appeared on his Las Vegas radio show in 1997. But that was before his bizarre behavior revealed him to be what is now so obvious to so many people. It is strange that he never mentioned to me that he had directed the Bureau's efforts against me in 1978 even though FOIA documents clearly indicate that he knew damn well who I was in 1997.

As to my status as a "disinformation specialist" then, he ignores the fact that I was made unemployable and arrested by LAPD in 1980 or that, after having been homeless for nearly three years, The "LA Herald Examiner" wrote two front-page Sunday stories on me in 1981. That means, I guess, that Ted is saying that I went to all this trouble 20 years ago so that I could be in a position to trash him today. Forget mind control, the question is does Ted Gunderson have a mind at all.

My newsletter, "From The Wilderness" is now read in 17 countries, by 16 members of the US Congress and by professors at 10 universities in North America and Europe. Although belated, I would like to add my male voice to support the brave women who have told it like it so obviously is. My hat is off to all of you. Beyond that however, no one really takes Gunderson seriously anyway.

TARGETED FOR TERROR: EX-FBI AGENT'S GRUESOME ORDEAL

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ironically, we who are now being tortured and murdered are in a sense freed from substantial fear because all is taken from us, except our last breath. When relief comes, many of us will thank God for the deliverance from the torture and pain.
 
--Former FBI Agent/Whistleblower Geral Sosbee 
 
FOREWORD
 
It has been ten years since I wrote this report, in May 2004. At the time of its first publication I had known Geral only three (3) years, but knew him well enough that we had already become best friends. After all these years, he is still my best friend, and this holds true even though there have been times when we didn't speak for months on end --usually because one or both of us were under such heavy fire by the perps (government-issue Satanists and Nazis, that is) that it was all we could do to make it through another day.
 
What I admire most about Geral is that he holds to Godly principles and practices moral absolutes --no matter what they throw at him, he refuses to compromise with evildoers.
 
Unlike most others I have known, he sticks to his guns, and I have never once heard him try to make excuses for wrongdoers; rather he calls them out and declares in no uncertain terms that they will be held accountable, if not under the law, at least by those of us who will fight to the death for Liberty.  And just as I do, he knows that in the end, they cannot escape the judgment of God Almighty.
 
Geral Sosbee, through his uncompromising stand for Truth and Justice, and his ceaseless activism, year in, year out, stands as a living testament to the victory of the Human Spirit.

TARGETED FOR TERROR: EX-FBI AGENT'S GRUESOME ORDEAL

"America is a willingness of the heart."
 
--F. Scott Fitzgerald
 
Imagine this: He is an American citizen, born and raised in the U.S. of A. As a young man, he enlists in the military, the U.S. Army, where he serves his country as a soldier in Vietnam. Following military service, he earns a college degree and begins a career with the FBI, where he specializes in espionage/foreign intelligence operations. 

After leaving the FBI, he pursues post-graduate studies and earns a law degree, becomes a Doctor of Jurisprudence. He goes on to become a prosecuting attorney in the state of Texas and subsequently an associate municipal court judge. As a university professor, he teaches Constitutional law, at the graduate and undergraduate levels, including to military personnel.

Sounds like an enviable life, doesn't it? A life any American would be honored to call his own. The life of an American Patriot, a Defender of the Constitution who loves his country so much he is willing to give his all in dedication to the service of its loftiest ideals...Liberty and Justice for All.

But as you read on, you will discover that somewhere, somehow...something went terribly wrong. Life did not turn out as it should have for this American Patriot....

PURSUED BY THE HOUNDS OF HELL

He is now, at age 58, financially destitute, having been forced into bankruptcy in 2003 resulting from the FBI and CIA campaign to destroy him. He was at one time forced to live in his car, moving from place to place; and to borrow from his credit cards to survive as he sought safe haven from his tormentors.

He suffers physical disabilities (associated with a back injury in Viet Nam and a knee injury sustained while in FBI service) both of which have been exacerbated by the chronic illnesses brought on by poisonings and assaults with directed energy ("non-lethal") weaponry.

He has had most of his property stolen or destroyed, including two (2) computers, a car and a motorcyle (which were not protected by bumper-to-bumper warranties). Now being without a vehicle, unable to afford to replace his losses, he is forced to walk or take public transportation.

Being without a computer, he is forced to go to a library or pay for the use of a computer elsewhere in order to continue his work. Work for which he receives no compensation but pursues as a tormented labor of love, still driven by the need to serve his country in the pursuit of Liberty and Justice for All.

The same liberty and justice which have been denied to him by the henchmen of the corrupt system he seeks to expose and to hold accountable for its crimes against its own citizens.

This story of political persecution, violations of privacy and outrageous abuses of human rights, that of ex-FBI agent Geral W. Sosbee, may stretch credibility to the breaking point, but is nonetheless the unvarnished truth. How can I be so sure his story is true? Because the hero of the story is a man I have come to know well, and now consider to be my best friend.

I also believe in him because I have conducted my own thorough investigation of his case over a period of three (3) years, from 2001-2004. I have listened to countless hours of his testimony. He has allowed me to interrogate and debrief him in order that I might have a full understanding of the situation. (Just ask Geral, I can be the most brutal of interrogators, in search of the facts and the truth.) In the course of this investigation I have collected a large file of his written reports, documenting events which have transpired between 1971 (his first year in the FBI) and the present time. I have studied the documents (official gov't letters and FBI reports) which validate his claims.

But more than all of this, I myself have become a witness to some of the tactics of harassment being used by criminal elements of the FBI and CIA in attempts to neutralize one of their former agents.

They regularly commandeer the phone lines and sabotage our calls. They put echo chambers on the line and break in with electronic interference to let us know they are on the case, listening to and recording every word. They shut off his cell phone after he commits the crime of talking to me. They send "punishing" or taunting e-mail messages to Geral, on the subject matter of our various calls, to let him know they don't like him talking to me. But I think they hate it most when we laugh at them, finding comic relief in the absurdity of their sophomoric behavior.

Yes, the very government he served with honor for so many years is responsible for designing and implementing a terror campaign so brutal, it's amazing that he has survived it thus far. I can honestly say, with no reservations, that the persecution Geral Sosbee has been targeted for is by far the worst I have ever investigated or even heard of, barring none.

He is pursued, day in, day out, by the Hounds of Hell. They invade his home, poison his food, send thugs to intercept him at the bus stop or in other public places. They assault him with ELF weaponry in the apartment where he now lives, so that he has little chance of getting any sleep.

There will be those who would rather turn their eyes away; who do not want to believe Geral Sosbee's story for the simple reason that it is unfathomable to them that such evil, such brazen iniquity, could exist in the hearts and minds of so many of those in positions of power and authority in our government. But I will ask you, if nothing else, to suspend judgment and read on with your own open mind and compassionate heart.

The truth will set you free, though at first it may hurt like hell. Hopefully, it will also make you mad as hell.

SOSBEE'S FORCED RESIGNATION FROM THE FBI

In 1978, while he was working in New York City, the FBI orchestrated the breakup of Sosbee's marriage, using operatives to cause his wife to abandon the relationship. Then, having isolated Sosbee by removing his primary source of support, the FBI surrounded him one day in the apartment complex where he lived, using more than half a dozen FBI agents who gave him the following ultimatum: Resign or be incarcerated in a mental institution.

The FBI's reason for the forced resignation was that Sosbee had reported perjury, suppression of evidence and other irregularities --which comprised obstruction of justice--to his supervisor years earlier. The cases in which the FBI crimes were committed implicated dozens of FBI agents, supervisors and possibly the Director himself.

The same cases were used --and are still being used to the present day-- as legal precedent for all future cases of similar facts. The end of the appeal time for some of the plaintiffs and defendants in the cases in which Sosbee was involved as an FBI agent (and arresting officer) terminated at about the same time that Sosbee was forced out. The FBI waited until the statutory time limits elapsed for appeals (in the suspect cases) so as to preclude Sosbee from discovering and reporting the crimes and cover ups in the cases.

Today the FBI uses the precedents mentioned above to prevent other defendants and plaintiffs from receiving a fair hearing.

Imagine that: A person who defends the Constitutional rights of both suspects and law enforcement personnel is deemed "insane". What a sorry nation we have become. How far we have fallen from the ideals of our Founding Fathers.

So before going further, it is important to understand that Geral Sosbee's forced resignation from the FBI --under threat of losing his liberty and having his sanity impugned-- was a direct result of his uncompromising adherence to proper legal procedures as a law enforcement officer; and of keeping his sacred oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

This might-makes-right attitude by government authorities with overblown egos and a shortage of gray matter may well get over in a Banana Republic, but is insufferable --not to be tolerated!-- in the Constitutional Republic.

REFLECTING THE FBI'S HIGHEST TRADITIONS

It is deeply ironic that while working for the FBI, from 1971 until his forced resignation in 1978, Geral Sosbee had received several commendations from the FBI Director for excellence in service. Here is one such letter:

Dear Mr. Sosbee:

I am pleased to commend you for your excellent services relative to the Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution case concerning William Elisha Davidson and Ella Coffin Davidson.

Even though this investigation was of a trying and difficult nature, you pursued your responsibilities with attentiveness, perseverance and dedication.

Your valuable services were in keeping with the Bureau's highest traditions.

Sincerely yours,
L. Patrick Gray
Acting Director

[Please see Geral's website for the original document]

Then, there is the FBI History Book, in which Geral Sosbee is one of those Special Agents listed, describing some of his accomplishments while in service to the FBI. Below, a summary of the book:

"Turner Publishing Company is proud to have assisted the Society of Former Special Agents in compiling this volume of their history. The stories collected here, from the Bureau's history to the nearly 1,400 individual biographies, recount the courage, intelligence and integrity of those who have served in the most elite law enforcement organization in the land....Turner also would like to thank all former Special Agents and their families who contributed photographs, biographical or anecdotal material for the book...."
   
On page 11 of the book (which may be borrowed from a public library through the Library of Congress) the FBI mission is stated in part as follows:
 
"...and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is faithful to the Constitution of the United States of America."
 
So, for those who still find it a stretch to believe that the FBI could persecute one of their own, how much MORE of a stretch is it to comprehend how FAITHFULNESS TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION could be the primary cause for such a harassment campaign?
 
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
 
Now, in his own words, some comments from Geral Sosbee, describing some of his former colleagues.

Samuel W. Jones, now deceased. Sam was an outstanding FBI agent and a close friend who advised me that the FBI intended to end my career soon; this occurred while I worked in the Albuquerque and Alamogordo FBI offices.
Benjamin H Cook, now retired, was the Assistant Special Agent In Charge of the Springfield , Illinois, FBI office while I served under his command in the Rock Island Resident Agency of the FBI. Cooke was a part of the general conspiracy to keep me silent by transferring me to the Defence Language Institute in California after he learned that all the agents in the Rock Island Office refused to assist me in an arrest that I was ordered to make alone (a procedure unheard of, to be sent out with no backup.) Cooke was fully aware of the slander campaign which was intended to force me to resign. Besides all of this, Ben Cooke was and is now a good man who, under any other circumstances, I would have been honored to serve.

Lawrence M. Connelley and James R. Rogers, both served in the Rock Island FBI office with me and were aware of the conspiracy to force me out.

Donald E. Ritchey, now retired and living in Ft. Worth, Texas. Ritchey is the FBI agent who was with me at the time we illegally arrested an innocent woman named Margarett Rodriguez and falsely charged her with various criminal offenses...now memorialized in the law books. Prior to the arrest I advised Ritchey (about 15 years my senior) that I reviewed the file on the accused and that I could find no evidence of any type of criminal activity. Ritchey advised me to report this to the supervisor and to the case agent, which I did. Ritchey could verify many of my statements, but he is afraid to do so. He could single- handedly cause a Congressional Investigation into FBI corruption by simply coming forward to confirm that I helped arrest the accused against my will and against my stated verbal protestations. Ritchey retired from the FBI January, 1979, just a few months after my forced resignation from the FBI. Also, the statute of limitations for a plaintiff's appeal of the Rodriguez case expired in 1978; Ritchey and I were both defendants in the civil case and I was prevented from testifying. Ritchey now lives a comfortable life and I am tormented; as far as I am concerned he is a coward or a fool for his refusal to back me up.
 
G.W.S.

Why not put THAT in the FBI History Book? And while they're at it, the publishers could make some other revisions and tell the FBI's history LIKE IT REALLY IS.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS & NEUTRALIZATION CAMPAIGNS

Geral Sosbee was first brought to my attention in early 2001, by a friend, formerly in military service and retired from the LAPD. I went to Geral's website to check it out. Over the years, I have known quite a few whistleblowers out of government service; some have gone public using their actual names, some have used pseudonyms. I also know many former military and intelligence operatives who have spoken to me privately but have chosen for various reasons, not to make their cases public.

But in most cases, they all approached me to begin our correspondence. Being something of a recluse (even to the point of being anti-social) I do not normally seek out contact with other people. I have been burned too many times when agents were planted on me in the guise of well-wishers or supporters of my work. For the most part, all I want is to be left alone.

But once I started to read the material on Geral's website, I felt I had to make an exception for him and initiate contact myself. This was because so much of what he reported, the specific harassment tactics, including the violations of his privacy and personal boundaries; the 24-hour surveillance in his home, his car and everywhere he went; the break-ins to his home, the drugging and poisoning of his food and drink, the slander campaigns, and being accosted by government goons, was eerily similar to what had happened to me.

I believed his reports, if for no other reason than that I am intimately familiar with how the goons operate, how they try to drive a person to desperation, insanity or even suicide. Put simply: Isolation, Alienation, Deprivation. Right out of the CIA Psy Ops manual for political prisoners, detainees or other targets best described as enemies of the state. And most sickening, these "enemies" seem, with increasing frequency, to be their own people, those individuals whose conscience has led them to do the right thing, no matter the consequences to themselves.

It took awhile to get to know him, since he seemed somewhat shy and almost as reclusive as myself. At first, our phone conversations were brief, as were the e-mails. But what impressed me most about Geral was his truthfulness and his humility. For instance, I never learned that he was an attorney, had been a prosecutor, a judge or a professor of Constitutional law until a mutual acquaintance told me.

Unlike most others being persecuted by the government, I have never heard him boast of his credentials or personal accomplishments. Rather, he seemed truly saddened, for their sake, that the government blackhearts could not see the light of truth.

Geral once said to me that he could never have imagined, while he was growing up, or during his military service or even when he first started working for the FBI, that he would ever be in such a position. Where instead of fighting crime and criminals, he would be fighting against the criminals in his own government!

But when I began to understand the level of harassment and political persecution directed against him, I was truly horrified, as well as amazed that anyone could bear up under what he has had to endure. Geral does not believe in using violence to solve his problems, but rather his intellect. He calls his tormentors "Mental Dwarves", which pretty well sums up who and what they are. As I've told him many times, I don't think I could have the level of restraint he shows if I were accosted by goons on a regular basis, the way he has been. I might be tempted to punch their lights out! (In fact, on certain occasions I have done just that, but usually only if they touched me first.)

My reason for writing this article was that I wanted Geral's story to be told in a way that could give people a more comprehensive idea of his character; of who he is as a person; the nature of his considerable accomplishments and talents; his trials and tribulations in the fight for freedom; and his dedication to serving his country and humanity at large.

Many people have visited his website. They have looked at the reports and documents and they have been impressed with his credentials, which are posted there for anyone who makes an effort to look. And yet, his modesty in downplaying his own background and accomplishments has been a source of frustration to me personally because he deserves a much broader recognition for his work than he has thus far received.

Geral Sosbee is a Champion of Liberty and the only former government agent I have ever known (and I've known quite a few) whose record in government service can hold up under close scrutiny with no black marks, no skeletons rattling in the closet. His case, as a persecuted whistleblower, deserves far greater scrutiny as well, both by those within government and by all freedom-loving people in the U.S.A and around the world.

Dear Barbara:

I am so pleased you have Geral as an ally....a good man who, from what I see, tells it exactly as it is.

Best Always,
Wayne Blanchard.
