Geral Sosbee Promotes Defamatory Falsehoods by Pathological Liar, Ramola Dharmaraj, Against Former Friend, CIA Whistleblower Barbara Hartwell

 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smug Mug of Ramola Dharmaraj, boasting that she is a "Truth Journalist", promoted in her article slandering Barbara Hartwell, accused of being "paid by CIA"

 

A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends.


Proverbs 16:28



I really was hoping I did not find it necessary to name the person who betrayed my trust and grossly insulted my honor, since I had believed him to be my best friend for 22 years, former FBI agent Geral Sosbee.


But seeing as I have now found evidence that the betrayal has been promoted publicly by him on social media, I must, on principle, stand up in my own defense and document the truth for the public record. I have no idea whether or not there are other such posts, but by my standards, one is all it takes.


In this report (January, 2024) I found it necessary to at least document the betrayal, but chose not to name the “friend”.


MESSAGE TO A FORMER FRIEND WHO BETRAYED MY TRUST & INSULTED MY HONOR: ALLOWED GOSSIP & BUSYBODY RAMOLA D TO DESTROY A LONGTERM FRIENDSHIP BY MEDDLING, LIES & FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST BARBARA HARTWELL


http://barbarahartwellvscia.blogspot.com/2024/01/message-to-former-friend-who-betrayed.html


(See the above for details.)


But subsequently, here is what I recently found, dated March, 2024, posted by Geral Sosbee on Twitter (X):


https://x.com/GeralSosbee/status/1772049312903491804


"This splendid woman, RAMOLA D continues to inspire & bless me as fbi assassins torture & try to kill me. Thank you RAMOLA."

 

And what did he display to show the “inspiration” and “blessings” of the so-called “splendid woman”?


A link to the website of Ramola D:  

Swans Against Slander”


https://everydayconcerned.net/disclosure/swans-against-slander/

 


 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Clicking the link he provides, it can be seen that Barbara Hartwell is accused of being the primary so-called “slanderer”, which Ramola claims to be “exposing”.

Regarding Barbara Hartwell, CIA Whistleblower | June 13, 2023


All these vile articles, filled with outrageous lies and ridiculous false accusations against Barbara Hartwell, and this total load of garbage is what he sees fit to promote on a public site, for all the world to see?


This is what he believes to be “the truth”? This is what caused him to throw away a decades-long friendship?


Well then, fine. He is free to believe what he will. I have no animosity against him, nor would I ever return evil for evil, that would be UN Christian.


So, I'll leave it as this: I truly wish him well, even though he chose to believe these falsehoods against me, promoted by a malicious gossip, whom, last I heard, he has publicly promoted as his “best friend” and a “Godsend to every human being on earth”...

 

(For those foolish enough, or duped into believing such a false statement, see reports exposing the truth about the many offenses of Ramola Dharmaraj.)


However, for the record, I must repeat the statement I made in the report cited above:


This report has been a long time coming, and was one I had hoped I would not find it necessary to publish. But it is a matter of honor and of principle and I cannot in good conscience be silent. For me, honor and principle come first, always, before persons, no matter who they are. Persons can be wrong, but not so with principles.



In Defense of Truth & Honor

CIA Whistleblower Barbara Hartwell

OUT of CIA since 1994

NOT on the CIA Payroll

September 28, 2024

 

ADDENDUM

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yet another provocation: This notice, which was constructed by Ramola Dharmaraj (without my knowledge or permission), grossly exploits the name of Barbara Hartwell, while also casting my name and work in a false light. She has been posting this false notice all over the Internet since at least 2018, including on social media, as well as posting it on her neighbors' doors (whom she publicly slanders, falsely accuses of being CIA, and falsely accuses of being in collusion with Barbara Hartwell), some of whom called the police for harassment and trespassing.

 

I have never, at any time, made any statements about "disclosure on targeting", nor about "mercenaries" making money off anyone's body. Nor has any such thing happened to anyone I know. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with me!

 

I am not involved with any of the named individuals on this notice, nor have I ever been a participant in any "targeted individual" groups, such as promoted by this liar. Former NSA Karen Stewart has accused Barbara  Hartwell of being CIA, and a "CIA handler". As exposed here, former FBI Geral Sosbee has also recently promoted SWANS AGAINST SLANDER, Ramola's outrageous lies that I am CIA and a "slanderer". These are not my friends or colleagues! No, due to their promotions of false accusations they are my adversaries.

 

As obvious provocation, she recently moved this notice up to the top of her front page. AS IF to proclaim that I, Barbara Hartwell, have any involvement with her, her website, or her lunatic rantings. This is FALSE ADVERTISING.

 

For the record, I AM NOT INVOLVED in any way, shape or form with this woman or any of her associates, and I hereby publicly state my protest of the continued exploitation and defamation of my good name. 

 

And unbelievably, this provocation continues...

 

She removed the above notice after her provocation was exposed...but now, she has replaced it with another version, with Karen Stewart's name removed and substituted with former NSA, John St. Clair Akwei, whose consent she also did not have to use his name, just as she did not have mine. And she titles this:

 

Fusion Center Treason | Flyer for Public Education

 

My name does not belong here and continues to be exploited by this gate-crashing opportunist, who knows damn well she is misrepresenting me, my name, and my work. This is NOT any form of "public education". It is in actuality public promotion of disinformation, at the expense of legitimate government whistleblowers, Hartwell and St. Clair Akwei! How shameful, how dishonorable, an absolute disgrace.

 

ADDENDUM 2: E-MAILS AS EVIDENCE


In service to the truth about exactly what Ramola Dharmaraj has done, and the major damages she has done to me (to my relationships with others and to my personal/professional reputation) with her meddling, gossip, lies and manipulation, I have decided to publish these e-mails.


The first is one I sent to my (then) friend, Geral Sosbee, warning him about what this dishonorable woman was doing. The second is his response, which shows that he seemed to understand my position and to agree that what she was doing against me was wrongful. At least, he said so.


During this time Ramola continued to send whining, complaining messages to him and others, making false accusations and trying to recruit them into backing her foolish false accusations against me. This woman has shown herself to be extremely aggressive in her efforts to try to push her views on others.


I, on the other hand, have a longstanding, non-negotiable policy: First, my policy is always one of non-aggression. I mind my own business and expect others to respect my privacy, and my right to establish my own personal boundaries. If they fail to respect my rights, I do not engage in conflicts with such aggressors. I warn them to stop what they are doing, and if they disregard my warnings, I will simply walk away, quietly if possible.


However, if they take their aggression to the public square, by gossiping with others, or publishing their malicious defamation, I will always, always publicly stand up in defense of my honor. I will refute their false accusations, I will set the record straight with the truth and the facts. And I will furnish evidence to substantiate my position. Which in this case, was exactly what I did. (See links to reports below.)


I have edited these e-mails to protect privacy and have left out the more personal comments. I have left what is relevant to the main issue. However, since Ramola, through sheer aggression, managed to force this issue into the public sphere, and since all parties involved have made their positions public, I am invading no one's privacy. Nor have I ever defamed anyone. I am stating facts for the public record.


Barbara Hartwell to Geral Sosbee:


I received a message today from someone who told me that Ramola had sent her a defamatory message regarding me. I don't know exactly what was in the message, but she was accusing me of being "controlled opposition" or some kind of agent. This was shocking. I was told that Ramola also sent a similar message to you, again I don't know the content. I am naturally outraged that she would do such a thing behind my back, making false accusations, especially to my friends. Why she would do this, I don't know.


It is important to me that you know the truth. I have not spoken to Ramola since May, 2021. She had been regularly interfering in my business, and meddling, presuming to appoint herself as an intermediary, to speak about me to people I do not know, and had no respect for my privacy or personal boundaries. She was using my name in her articles, in connection with these people, even after I told her that I wanted nothing to do with them, and asked her to never use my name in relation to them, and to remove my name from such articles. Instead of respecting my wishes, she denied that she had appointed herself as an intermediary for me, discussing my private business with them, which she had no right to do.


It finally became clear that I could not get through to her, and that she would continue to do this, against my wishes. So I just stopped communicating with her. That was all. I did not want to get into any conflict with her and I have never said one bad word about her in my public reports since that time.


But I was told by this same person that now Ramola had the audacity to claim that I am "wrong" to publish certain things. It is none of her business what I publish, or why. It is not her place to decide what is "wrong", where I am concerned. And for her to send messages to my friends complaining about me is very wrongful on her part. Apparently she has taken exception to a recent report on my website, which has nothing to do with her, nor was she named in the report. And she is now threatening to address this issue (whatever it is) publicly, using my name.


I have done nothing whatsoever that is wrongful to her, ever. I only chose to quietly walk away from a person who does not respect my privacy or boundaries and was exploiting my name for her own agenda.


I don't want you to be dragged into this, it has nothing to do with you. And I'm sorry she has chosen to go to you with her unwarranted complaints. All I can ask is that you please not discuss me with her, or use my name publicly in connection with her. I need to put a stop to this, before it becomes a real problem. If she chooses to make some public statement against me, I will have no choice but to defend myself, as a matter of honor.


Geral Sosbee to Barbara Hartwell:


Thanks for your message.

 

I am deeply saddened to hear of the 'controlled opposition' report referenced in your email.


I agree with you that Ramola is way off base in her false and irrelevant comments and interference with your work.


Ramola has no business using your name in any discussion on people who are in varying degrees 'controlled'.


Please advise me if I should do or write anything on Ramola crossing the boundary of your personal privacy.


At the time, I really thought he understood my position. I wasn't asking for backup. She was sticking her nose in my business and attempting to drag him in by driving a wedge between us. Unfortunately for me, she eventually succeeded.


I told him I did not want to make a public issue out of this. All I wanted was for him to know the truth, and to respect my wishes about not using my name publicly in connection with her, and to not discuss me with her. I made it clear that if he had a friendship with her it was none of my business. I just did not want my name involved. Period.


But she persisted in her aggression, and why he decided to betray me I probably will never know.


Since that time, the public accusations by Ramola Dharmaraj against Barbara Hartwell have become increasingly wild and bizarre. From my observations, it is very clear that she is delusional and out of touch with reality. She is accusing all her neighbors (none of whom I know) of being CIA, some she claims to be in collusion with Barbara Hartwell, plotting against her. She claims the Quincy Police are in league with CIA. She claims her husband and daughter are “clones”. When her husband made reports to authorities about her “declining mental health” (she published the actual documents on her website), she claimed that CIA, not her husband, was behind it. And on and on it goes...


Not that I think it would be of any interest, but anyone with a reason to be concerned about the escalating lunacy of her self-aggrandizing claims (including of persecution by CIA) may go to her website and see for themselves.


For the record, I actually feel very sorry for her. I am not hard hearted. But neither can I tolerate these baseless attacks on my honor and professional reputation. Whatever her mental issues are, there is no excuse for her outrageously reprehensible and injurious behavior. This speaks to character and to a lack of integrity, to lash out and blame others for her problems.


Most importantly, I need to make it clear (once again) that she has NO BUSINESS exploiting my name on her website, in her lunatic rantings.

FIVE STAR REVIEW: The Kyle Seraphin Show

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

I rarely write reviews of podcasts, but The Kyle Seraphin Show is one I like so much I felt I had to promote it to others – especially freedom-loving patriots and Christians.

 

I've been watching the show since I first heard about it, late last year. Mr. Seraphin, as a former FBI agent turned whistleblower, knows exactly what he is talking about when exposing the corruption he witnessed and experienced firsthand. There is no substitute for direct personal knowledge!


I've heard no nonsense, no hype, no sensationalism, coming from him or his guests. The content is fact-based, presented with evidence in the form of documentation and video clips.


What I find most valuable is that he has no hesitation in naming names, and lets the bad guys expose themselves with their own words, captured and memorialized on video or in print. In my view, best to just let them speak for themselves and their evil actions are clear to all with eyes to see.


As happens with the most legitimate of government whistleblowers, Kyle Seraphin seems to be a lightning rod for the attacks and false accusations of some very stuck-on-stupid people: He's a 'government agent', a 'nark', a 'fed boy', 'on the payroll'...


Sure, there are plenty of controlled opposition frauds and phonies out there, a plethora of grandstanders, liars and shills, but it is abundantly clear to me that Kyle Seraphin is not one of them. In my opinion, he's among the best of the best whistleblowers ever to come out of government service.


And with all the lunatic leftist, anti-Christian ideologies running amok, he sets exactly the type of example I would hope my grandsons will follow.


Lastly, let's not forget the value of presenting the unvarnished truth, along with great entertainment: a winning combination worthy of a FIVE STAR REVIEW!

TYRANNY, TREACHERY, TERRORISM & TRAUMA: THE FORMULA









NOTE (September 2021): This article was written in October, 2001. I have since republished it several times.


Since the first publication, now 20 years later, I have not changed my opinion, based on my original analysis of the events of 9/11/2001. However, based on subsequent observations, coupled with what has been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit, it is clear that the satanic agenda of the movers and shakers of the New World Order has proceeded apace.


Consider the virulent anti-Christian ideologies and policies promoted and supported by the left-wing agitators, the “progressives” (read Marxists), the Neo Bolsheviks, the United Nations, BLM, Antifa. For all intents and purposes, this country has become a de facto bastion of vile Communism.


Consider also those who claim to “oppose” the demonic left, also promoting their utterly fraudulent “solutions”: just as one example, the cult of QAnon and its numerous loudmouth shills, the mountebanks, the snake oil salesmen, the merchants of false hope. Raking in the cash, with glad-handing pep talks, as they snare the hearts and minds of those who can only be described as dupes, falsely believing they are supporting “truth”, “freedom” and “patriotism”.


Now, as this country has fallen to an unprecedented level of spiritual darkness, anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear, will know that there is ONLY ONE SOLUTION:


Jesus Christ, The Way The Truth and The Life.


Get on the Side of the Angels, while there is yet time.


Barbara Hartwell

September 2021




PREFACE (REPUBLISHED 2005)


I wrote this article in October 2001, less than one month after the terrorist attack on the WTC. Something I didn't say in the article: I knew, beyond any doubt, the minute I saw it unfolding on TV, that it was an Inside Job.


Since I do not watch television and have not had any cable hook-up for many years, I had to go to a neighbor's house to watch the news reports, after receiving a phone call from my niece in Colorado.


Call it Spirit-filled intuition (clairvoyance), one of the gifts of the Spirit God has bestowed on me. Call it reason or logic, based on my many years of direct experience working for the criminals in the U.S. Government. Call it anything you like. All I can say is that I immediately knew it to be true: It was an Inside Job.


I have never personally investigated 9-11, at least not the nuts-and-bolts variety of forensic investigation. I did not have that opportunity, lacking the resources and having lost most of my professional contacts in law enforcement and the intelligence community by that time.


In fact, many years ago, I had worked on a somewhat regular basis with various police departments, including NYPD, as an "independent consultant" (though I was often "sent" by CIA); where I worked with detectives in investigations of murder and other criminal cases, missing persons, etc.


Though I was born on Manhattan Island and lived there for many years, on and off, from early childhood until I was in my mid-twenties; attended college and seminary there, I moved from that place for good in 1975 and have only gone back infrequently over the years since then. After 9-11, I have refused to go there at all. Just my choice and for personal reasons.


But since so many people in the general public now (finally!) believe that 9-11 was an Inside Job, as a result of the many reports based on real forensic investigations by professionals since that time, I thought it might be interesting to repost this article.


It was originally published by Conspiracy Planet and subsequently made its way onto many other sites. None of those sites will publish my work anymore, as a result of the libel and disinfo campaigns being waged by my enemies in the U.S. Government and their stooges, toadies and minions.


I should add that this article is an editorial. It is based on my opinions (as a former intelligence agent, a Jungian analyst and Christian minister); considered professional opinions though those may be.


Though there are many facts included, those facts do not in any way substantiate my opinion that 9-11 was an Inside Job. So please, as always, I ask that you read it with an open mind, a compassionate heart, and make of it what you will.


One more thing you need to know: Included in this article is a transcript of the "deathbed confession", a videotape which was later revealed to be a hoax. The hoax was perpetrated by filmmaker, Mike Z.


When I first found out about the hoax, I was furious, to the blood-boiling point. I called Mike Z a "scumbag" in public reports and generally gave him hell. You see, I was the only person (or at least the first) who actually made a written transcript from the video and incorporated it into a widely published article.


But it is important to say that the deathbed confession itself was in no way the pivotal issue in writing the article. I had begun the article before I got the video by e-mail from Mike Z. I included it because it seemed to fit so well into everything I believed (and still do, to this day) about the 9-11 Terrorist Attack. And about the satanists who run the U.S. Government. So please keep this in mind when reading the article.


Lastly, Mike Z apologized to me some time later. Below, find his e-mail to me. I did forgive him, after speaking to him on the phone. He admitted his ploy was wrongful, seemed truly repentant and I accepted his apology, though as I told him, I don't condone what he did.


He is certainly a talented artist, and if he would use his talents to make "protest" films without promoting them as the real deal, he could be doing a great service to the skeptics who do not believe the government is capable of such things as terrorist acts of mass murder, all the while blaming the scapegoat du jour, which in the case of 9-11 happened to be Osama bin Laden (a longtime CIA asset.)



Mike Zieper's Letter to Barbara Hartwell:


Dear Barbara,

I owe you an apology. I used you to expose my tape to the world. And I should have thanked you for your help.

I believe that there are very simple reasons why things are the way they are. I made the DEATHBED CONFESSION tape to communicate some of these ideas.

At the time, I wanted to avoid a flame war so I accepted the criticism and abuse that I received. I understand that I was muddying already murky waters.

But you should know that I read the article you wrote (TYRANNY, TREACHERY, TERRORISM & TRAUMA) and agreed with your analysis of the situation completely.

I can't begin to understand what you have personally been through. I've had my share of weirdness since the FBI took an interest in me.

But, as one person whose email is being read to another, I want to say that you have done great work.

Don't give up the fight,

Mike Z



TYRANNY, TREACHERY, TERRORISM & TRAUMA: THE FORMULA



No doubt about it, there was a formula utilized by the perpetrators of Nine-One-One. No matter whodunit – it was a well and precisely planned operation.


From Webster's Dictionary, a definition of 'formula':


"A set form of words for use in a ceremony or ritual".


The formula can best be described in four simple words:


TYRANNY, TREACHERY, TERRORISM and TRAUMA.


TYRANNY: Absolute power, especially when exercised unjustly or cruelly.

TREACHERY: Willful betrayal of fidelity, confidence or trust; perfidy.

TERRORISM: The systematic use of terror, violence and intimidation to achieve an end.

TRAUMA: An emotional shock that creates substantial and lasting damage to the psychological development of the individual, generally leading to neurosis.

Which leads us to.....

TOTALITARIANISM: A form of government in which one person or party exercises absolute control over all spheres of human life and opposing parties are not permitted to exist.

Sound familiar? Where have we heard this before? Has our government betrayed us? Are we being ushered into the Fourth Reich?

But....it couldn't happen here..... Or could it?


OCCULT RITUAL AND HOMEGROWN TERRORISM
 


Was the mass murder and mayhem -the operation code named Nine-One-One- a ceremony or ritual?

And if so, what kind of ritual? For what purpose?

Was Nine-One-One simply the most extreme 'international incident' to date in a long-term operation of 'trauma-based programming, a part of the 'ritual abuse' of the American public?

Worse yet, was it a 'Satanic Blood Sacrifice'?

Could these sorts of hideous rituals be part and parcel of the programming of the collective American psyche? If so, to what end?

These are not easy questions to answer, much less furnish proof for. Yet the answers leap out in a plethora of dramatic symbols, for those who have eyes to see -and more importantly- the freedom of mind to perceive.
 

PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS: BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION AND MIND CONTROL

For centuries, occultists have relied on symbols to harness the power of the human mind for use in rituals.

By far, the greatest creative power resides not in the conscious mind, but in the unconscious, and even more so in the vast reservoir of what Carl Jung termed the Collective Unconscious. The unconscious 'thinks' in symbols (pictures) instead of words. If a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe that's why.

You don't have to believe in Jung's theories to understand the power of symbols. Symbols are all around us; but never more compelling than when they are internalized within the life-force of the mind.
 

Internalizing a symbol is not hard to do, either by a voluntary act of conscious will, as in prayer or meditation....or by the imposition of someone else's will as in hypnotic suggestion, black magic or mind control.

Once a symbol has been internalized, it takes on a life of its own. And once it digs in and puts down roots, its power over the mind of the host -for good or ill- grows as it is watered and fed by the conscious mind.

The easiest way to 'feed' a symbol is to use repetition.

Flash that symbol over and over in front of the subject's eyes until the point of saturation and it reaches critical mass.

The perpetrators of mind control have developed this sort of 'ritual' not only as a science, but to a near art form. Dominating the energy -individually or collectively- in the psyche of the target is the cornerstone of mind control.



THE TRAUMATIZED MIND


Let's consider the most potent symbol flashed into our consciousness by the perps of Nine-One-One.

The World Trade Center towers.

A raging inferno.

People leaping from the windows.

A larger-than-life spectacle of death and destruction.

Many writers have noted that there was an element of unreality in it all -like something you'd see in a movie.

But it wasn't a theatrical production. It was real.

The immediate reaction of most people witnessing this horror was shock, or intense shock and trauma. How could it be otherwise?

When trauma strikes, the boundaries protecting the psyche come crashing down. The ability to think critically and analytically is suspended. Until the shock wears off -if it ever does- the traumatized mind simply reacts. And it reacts emotionally.

A traumatized mind is vulnerable and therefore far more suggestible. And the suggestions the mind is most willing to accept are those which it believes will ensure its protection and survival...at any cost. This the key to "trauma-based programming".

Read it and weep: It works.

Could it be that Operation Nine-One-One was planned for this precise purpose?

Using terrorism to traumatize Americans into a mass panic which the perps knew would lead to their unquestioning and emotionally-based desire for protection and survival...at any cost?

Have many traumatized Americans been programmed to give up their freedoms in the false, irrational and emotionally-based belief that they can exchange their freedom for protection and thus ensure their survival?

If so, they've made a deal with the devil --and there will be hell to pay.


MASS MIND CONTROL IN AMERICA: DEEP BLACK COVERT OPERATIONS


It is hard to pinpoint with precision the beginning of institutionalized use of mind control in America , but 1947 was certainly a critical year.


In 1947, the Central Intelligence Agency was created from its precursor, the Office of Strategic Services. The agency was staffed predominantly with Nazi scientists brought to the U.S. under an operation code named Paperclip.

In 1953, the CIA 'officially' began the MK Ultra mind control program, under the direction of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, incorporating roughly 165 sub-projects.
 

George Hunter White, colleague of Nazi criminal Sydney Gottlieb, described his involvement in the CIA's infamous MK Ultra project this way:

"I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun.....Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest?"

Indeed, where else? Where else, but in America, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Home of the Criminally Insane Agency.

Does this utterly demented, deranged and demonic mind-set tell you anything about the agency -or the government- that could implement such a project, at the cost of unimaginable human suffering, while the perpetrators are swept merrily along in the sadistic thrill of it all?

Who can tell us about the depth of such suffering?

Maybe we could ask Eric Olsen. CIA "suicided" his father, Frank Olsen in 1953, connected to the MK Ultra operation, then engaged in a massive cover-up. The real story has only just begun to come out, but the lies and betrayal continue apace.

In 1999 The Expert Witness Show, hosted by Mike Levine, ran a series of programs about CIA mind control. I was one of the guests interviewed, as were Eric Olsen and Martin Lee, author of Acid Dreams, a classic book on CIA and MK Ultra.

I was asked to appear on the program as a survivor of MK Ultra. Yet I was given little opportunity to tell my story. Had I been allowed more air-time, perhaps my testimony would have shed some light not only on the mind control abuses of the past, well-documented and eloquently stated by Olsen and Lee, but on the fact that the atrocities of mind control are still going on to this day in our country.

Sydney Gottlieb, the project's founder, was purportedly ordered by DCI to destroy all MK Ultra documents, circa 1976-77. We know that ALL the documents were not destroyed, as evidenced by those which remain. However it is my belief that there are many more documents in existence which have not yet come to light. I believe this because of my own involvement in MK Ultra and other black projects and also because this has been confirmed to me by insider sources.

Furthermore, I know the project was never abandoned, as CIA claims. I know this because I myself was still involved long after the program was purportedly "discontinued".

In fact, MK Ultra is still operating today. The names of its sub-projects may have changed and some of the players have passed away. But the game remains the same. It didn't stop. It just went deeper black, that's all.

And what's worse, the scope of mind control has expanded to include not just a small group of "test subjects" but the attempted brainwashing of the entire population.

Witness: HAARP
Witness: EM Frequency Weapons
Witness: Psychotropic Drugs
Witness: Satellite technologies
Witness: Biochip Implants

And these mind control systems are only the tip of the iceberg...
 

In the words of the psychopath Jose Delgado: "A psycho-civilized society."


A DEATHBED CONFESSION: BLOOD SACRIFICE RITUALS AND THE GROUP WITH NO NAME


On the evening of October 6, 2001, I began writing this article. On the morning of October 7, I received e-mail from an unknown source. Strangely enough, the content of the message fit right in with what I was writing. It may shed some light into the darkest corners of the human psyche, as reflected by the body politic. And, if true, it is chilling to contemplate.

Subject: conspiracy tape?
Message: have you seen this ?

I had not, so I clicked on the URL to a web page which contained one item: a link to a video. The text on the web page: "This is a tape that was made by my father-in-law's client, who was dying of cancer. He left instructions that he wanted it to be seen."

The scene opened on a man in a hospital bed. A full head of white hair and thick black-framed glasses. Tubes ran from a bedside machine into his right arm.

It was the deathbed confession of a man who claimed to have worked for 27 years for "the group with no name". His identity as well, was undetermined.
 

The man appeared to be addressing his lawyer, "John" making a confession regarding the nefarious activities he had been involved in. He appeared agitated and had some difficulty speaking, so some of his testimony was unintelligible. I've transcribed it to the the best of my ability here:

"John, this is the last time you'll hear from me. Thanks for your friendship, your loyalty, thanks for your hard work. You've been more than just my lawyer, you've been a good friend.

I'm going to ask for one more favor. Do this thing for me. I'm going to tell you....secrets. These things are true. I want to tell people. I want people to know...to confess.....

About the Wall Street that never was.....all lies.

Something else...I've been working for the group with no name....the way things are done.

I was....management...yes, bookkeeping...keeping track of the money. They don't care about money...listen, I can try to explain...but it's difficult...gonna be hard to explain.

I'm not crazy.....You've heard all those conspiracy stories...Jews, Masons, secret societies....some truth in it...it sounds insane.

But I tell you, I've seen terrible things....listen....

The Mayan culture in South America....Mayans were the first ones... no one discusses these things.

They killed....[unintelligible]

Harrington was always talking....he's gone now....leave his name out of it.

They betrayed us.....our era.

This is the way things are done. You must have wondered yourself... what the hell is going on here? This is the way things are done. Listen to me...try to understand.

The blood sacrifices they did down there...hearts were torn out... thousands of them...their own people. You know why they did it? It's the power...the power created from pain and suffering.

There are those who have ultimate power....who decide how things will go....part of a strategy...part of a plan.

Let me explain....I was programmed in the usual ways... Skull and Bones, the Bohemian Grove....[unintelligible]...so I could be used....

I don't know all that much....

The reason is the transfer of power...that's why they do what they do....magic...ancient magic....occult practices.

They discovered the transfer of power and energy...know what I'm talking about?

They discovered certain practices. You can't even conceive of. I don't exactly know how it's done. I avoided finding out. I couldn't stomach it.

The reason they create wars, atrocities, murder, assassinations, genocide...it creates a form of power...energy. They use that. I don't know how....I know it moves... and it works....I've seen it... horrible things. It's a science...it works.

I wasn't involved in that. It just came into my life...27 goddamn years!


They told me I'd be there to witness the end...I was this close... 27 years...now I won't be there to witness it... to see it coming...and to die now.

You know I never smoked...they do this all the time...it's punishment...no right to do this to me....

They lied...I kept my end of the bargain...they said there was no problem.

They lied....

Listen... May 17...August 9....November 5...November 12...watch...see what happens....then you'll know.

I'm speaking the truth.

There is no way to stop them. Both sides know how it works... terrorists in the third world... doing the things we used to do... They've already started killing off the herd...it's in the water... it's in the air...

It's the way things are... I can't put it any clearer than that...God help me...

Get this goddamn thing away from me! Turn it off!" [Waving his arms at the camera.]

End transcript.

Was this tape a hoax? I don't believe so. There were too many realistic elements. The hospital setting. The man's obvious distress and difficulty speaking. To me, it comes off as a real deathbed confession.

Of course, it proves nothing. But how much "proof" do we need?

Haven't we heard and read about all of this many times before? Ad nauseam?

How many witnesses do we need? How many confessions? How much testimony?

How many tortured souls?

How much more bloodshed?

When is enough, enough?



FREEDOM IS NON-NEGOTIABLE


Now I have a few questions for all self-respecting, freedom-loving American citizens:


Are you willing to "negotiate" with the powers-that-be for your freedom?


Do you believe that your freedom, like a license to drive or to practice law, is a privilege issued by the state?


Will you let your freedom -or lack thereof- be determined by the covert agenda of a "group with no name", a cabal of Satanists and Bonesmen perpetrating mind control, fomenting terrorism and engaging in blood sacrifice rituals?


Or is your freedom --as protected under the U.S. Constitution-- a God-given right?


You decide.

Freedom begins in the mind.

My Journey to The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church: A Conversion Story



Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

 


 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This report, unlike most others, is personal. It is important to me to share this story, since I hold the hope that it might inspire others, among my Christian brothers and sisters, and also those of other faiths (or nonreligious) and give them some ideas to consider.


For the purpose of this report, to keep it from being too lengthy, from digressing into other issues, and to protect the privacy of those involved, I will try to keep the focus on the main issue: my conversion to the Catholic Church.


I was born in March, 1951. I was baptized in the Eastern Orthodox Church that same year. My father's family (my grandparents) came from one of the islands off the Northern coast of Greece. My mother's family (my grandparents)  were Scots Presbyterian. I still have my mother's Bible, falling apart at the seams, issued by her church, now nearly a hundred years old. My mother converted at the time of the marriage, but never became a practitioner of the Orthodox faith.


In my early childhood years I was taken to the Orthodox church, mostly for family events (baptisms, weddings, funerals) and on Christian Holidays (Easter and Christmas), but when my parents separated (I was 11), for years there was no regular church attendance.


Despite the lack of church attendance and formal religious education in childhood, I always loved God and wanted to know all I could about Him. And I always was drawn, above all others, to the Catholic Church. When I was a teenager and young adult, a college student, living in NYC, I used to go into the Catholic churches, which in those days were left open to access for the faithful, and even for those who just needed sanctuary. They were true houses of God, where no one in need was turned away, day or night, as the case might be.


I loved the silence and the statues of Saints, the low lighting by lamps and votary candles. In the sanctuary, I felt at peace. I could light a candle, sit there alone and pray. I could talk to God, knowing he heard me. I could feel the presence of Jesus. But oddly enough I never attended Mass, it just didn't occur to me.


When I was in my early twenties I became more focused on religious studies, including Eastern religions, as well as general Christian seminary studies. One of my teachers was a Jesuit priest, one was a Sufi, one a Buddhist monk. The best way to explain this is that I wanted to know the truth, so I looked at everything. I was ordained in the ministry by the Universalist church at the age of 28 (1979).


I have had no affiliation with the Universalist church since then (nor do I believe in their doctrines – heaven forbid!), but I have been involved in Christian ministry for many years, mostly nondenominational. I have been a devout Christian all these years, but looking back on it, I am amazed at some of what I was indoctrinated to believe (by the Protestants, that is), and I am still wondering what prevented me from becoming a Catholic.


I liked the Episcopal Church, because it was closest to Catholic, in much of the liturgy, the Holy Eucharist and in the atmosphere. I know that they actually call themselves “Catholic”, as well as Protestant, which was confusing. I now know that, at least for me, it was more like “Catholic lite”, rather than the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, instituted by Jesus Christ. Still here, after roughly 2,000 years.


In 2009, while living in Maine, I started attending an Episcopal Church. My neighbor was the Priest there and invited me to come to services. I enjoyed going to church on a regular basis and decided that I would be confirmed, which I was, by an Episcopal Bishop, in November, 2011. I stayed until late 2013, when I was forced to leave Maine under emergency circumstances. 

 

In early 2014 (at Lent) I found another Episcopal Church in NY State, where I had moved. I was there from 2014 until late 2o19, and served for two years as Clerk of the Vestry.


I loved both of these churches, I loved the people and the Priests, both of whom went out of their way to help me and support me, knowing my background with CIA and the political persecution and whistleblower retaliation that plagued my life. The church had at times paid my electric bills, when I got a final disconnect notice; they paid for gas for my car, and even for cat food for my beloved feline friends. And I was able to get food from their charitable enterprises. They were a real blessing in my life, one that I will always remember. I pray for them to this day.


There were several reasons I finally made the decision to leave, heartbreaking though it was.


I was alarmed to see that the Episcopal Church had made a hard left turn. I remembered, from many years back, how conservative and traditional the church used to be. (I'd had some past history with this church, which is not really relevant to my story.)


But now, I watched in distress as some of the members became supporters of Black Lives Matter (a Marxist group); they marched for gun control in the false belief they were “protecting our children” (to keep and bear arms is a Constitutionally protected right!); they were buying in to other radical leftist ideas, like militant feminism (some women knitting “pussy hats” for those in the congregation – how stupid!), and even gave the stamp of approval to extreme LGBTQ+/gender ideologies, Critical Race Theory (CRT) and “Reparations”, all of which I consider to be anathema.


They seemed to love the lawless open border policies and actually believed it was the “Christian” thing to do to allow millions of illegal aliens to invade the country. They turned a blind eye to all the human trafficking, drug cartels, the rapes, the murders, and the fact that these illegals were stealing American jobs and were given “benefits”, while the American working poor were going hungry, and our veterans were homeless, living on the streets.


In short, they had no respect whatsoever for the US Constitution, the Rule of Law, nor apparently for the true Biblical values they purported to support. They were in essence, Communists!


Then came the final straw: The so-called “pandemic”. They decided to close the church, have services online. When they finally reopened, they required all attendees to wear masks, to “social distance”, and submit to the propaganda to get the toxic shots.


I guess I should not have been shocked, but I was. It was devastating to me to see how they had caved to the vile brainwashing. This was not a House of God, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ; it had become a “woke” leftist, secular humanist social club!


I could not in good conscience stay there. It was not my place to try to change their minds and I didn't want to be in conflict with others, so I resigned my office as Clerk of the Vestry and quietly walked away.


For a few years after leaving the Episcopal church I did not attend church at all. In this time period, beginning in 2020, most of the churches were closed, or services were held on ZOOM, or, they required all attendees to wear masks, “social distance”, and be “vaccinated”.


This was madness! I did not wear a mask (it was against my Christian faith and violated my God-given rights), nor ever for one moment did I even consider the toxic shot. I had been non-compliant with these tyrannical Marxist policies from the beginning. I saw this so-called “pandemic” for what it was, and absolutely refused to participate in the lunacy and tyranny in any way.


So for 3 years (early 2020-Summer 2023) I prayed to find another church. I searched online and read the websites of any churches nearby, regardless of denomination. I just wanted to go to church, to have fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ, in a place where faith and sanity ruled over fear and subjugation to the government! But I found nothing which met my requirements.


I continued to pray, though it was beginning to look hopeless. Then one day, the Holy Spirit spoke to me. I was told that there was a particular church I should visit, very close to where I live. The church was Catholic.


Considering everything I've explained thus far, you might wonder why I hadn't even considered a Catholic Church in my search. And why did I not jump at the chance to follow the promptings of the Spirit?


But instead, I waited. First, I drove by the church, but didn't go in. I saw that it was a beautiful old building surrounded by a lovely garden, with statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.


I thought a lot about that church in the next few months. I didn't know anyone there. I wasn't a “real” Catholic and didn't know if I would be welcome. I didn't know the “rules” I might have to follow. I thought it might be too hard for me. 

 

Then, one day my doctor mentioned the same church, out of the blue. He wasn't Catholic, but told me that for some reason he thought I might like it there.


And the promptings of the Holy Spirit continued... One day, in August, 2023, I decided to put aside my doubts and give it a try. I asked a friend (not a Catholic) to accompany me and went to a service on Saturday afternoon. I loved it! What a relief it was, how uplifting, to be in a true House of God!


I continued to attend Mass on most Saturdays, missing church occasionally only due to the condition of my health. I thought the Priest was wonderful. I saw that he espoused conservative, traditional values (both Catholic and for the US Constitution), and that some of the clergy he admired and recommended we listen to were the same ones I loved as well. And best of all, he leaves the church open every day, so anyone is welcome to come in and pray!


The following Spring (2024), I met with the Priest and told him I wanted to convert. I told him about my history, he asked me some questions, and said he saw no obstacle to my conversion.


Except one: He told me that my baptism in the Eastern Orthodox Church was acceptable, and that he only needed my baptismal certificate as verification.


The problem was, I could not locate my baptismal certificate. The last time I'd seen it was over 10 years ago, when I left Maine. I did remember very clearly that my baptism was in NYC (not sure which borough, though my family at the time of my birth lived on Central Park West in Manhattan). I also know for certain the name of the church: St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church.


I had searched my files but could not find the certificate. My next step was to search for all the St. Nicholas churches in NYC. I contacted them all by phone, but no one had a record on me. Finally, I contacted the Orthodox Registry. A priest responded by e-mail, letting me know that he had no record of my baptism. However, he did tell me that there was one St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox church which would not have any records. It was located in Lower Manhattan, at the site of the WTC, and was destroyed on September 11, 2001. This was the first I had heard of this, so I looked it up.

There is now a shrine where the church once stood. I'm not a fan of modernism, so I much prefer the original church.


Anyway, I don't know for sure that this was the church where I was baptized. If so, what are the chances? But I have not been able to find a record anywhere else. All my family (at least the older members, my aunts and uncles, as well as both my parents), are long gone, so there is no one left whom I could ask.


So I will leave it to the Priest to decide what to do. He did assure me that we would figure it out, and I trust that this will happen, one way or another. I now await confirmation, once this issue is settled. Thank You Jesus!


Going to Mass on a regular basis has changed my life. There is nothing in the Catholic doctrine with which I have a problem, and this report is not meant to go into depth or details. I will say that as I have been studying scripture for over 40 years (Canonical as well as what are known as “non-Canonical extra-biblical texts” (example: The Book of Enoch), both Protestant Bibles (example: KJV ) and Catholic, with the apocrypha (example: Douay-Rheims) I have found that the Catholic doctrine holds closer to scriptural truth, at least from what I can discern.


Why did it take me so long to decide to convert? I really don't have an answer. My conversion will not change what I believe, or why I believe; it only validates it and enhances my Christian faith. But it adds a dimension which makes me feel more free to express some facets of my faith which I know to be true, for which I have been criticized by my Protestant friends, especially what I consider to be the hidebound fundamentalists.


In any case, my policy is that I don't argue scripture with anyone. People are free to believe what they will. Discussions of my particular beliefs and faith are fine with me, as long as nobody tries to force their views on me.


I'm not a fan of Martin Luther, nor of John Calvin, nor of the Protestant Reformation, never have been, enough said.


The truth is, in my heart I have always been a Catholic, and have been a “closet Catholic” for my entire life.  I would go to great lengths to visit monasteries and convents, every chance I had.

 

Any home in which I live (including my current home) has been adorned with crucifixes, rosary beads, candles of Saints, statues of St Michael the Archangel, artwork depicting angels and saints. I especially love angels, which I have hanging on the walls, and statues in my garden. 

 


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite among the Catholic saints are St. Jude (the Patron Saint of Lost Causes) and virgin martyr Saint Barbara (The Patron Saint of artillery!) after whom I am named. There is even the Ancient Military Order of Saint Barbara, members of which I have known, including General Officers in the US Military.

Lastly, I will say that I have been inspired on my journey by certain persons, exemplars of the Catholic faith. Among my favorites are Thomas Merton and Malachi Martin, whose books I love and have read and reread over a period of many years.
