REFLECTIONS ON GOVERNMENT DISINFORMATION PROGRAMS



If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Date: October 20, 2003
RE: The Fallout from 9-11 Terrorism Report

AFFIDAVIT

I, Ted L. Gunderson, the Affiant herein, being over the age of majority, and having first hand knowledge of the facts and events over the past few months, primarily from April 3, 2003, until October 19, 2003, concerning covert surveillance of myself and my friends, and breaking and entering of my house and motor vehicle, and the stealing, taking and carrying away of tangible personal property in addition to making overt and covert threats against my life and a client. AFFIANT does hereby state that this Affidavit contains the true facts as AFFIANT knows and understands them to be, and that this Affidavit is true, correct and complete to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. (Resumé attached as Exhibit A) I was the Former head of the FBI's Los Angeles office.

Excerpt:

§ 6: GOVERNMENT DISINFORMATION PROGRAM

20. AFFIANT has concluded based upon knowledge, information and belief that the Government is using informants to discredit him. AFFIANT has incontrovertible evidence that Stu Webb is a paid confidential informant for the FBI. (He admitted this in a letter he wrote to the Las Vegas Police Department and during a commercial video interview.) Webb and others, including Barbara Hartwell and Jackie McGauley, are actively spreading false, misleading, derogatory, slanderous and libelous statements about AFFIANT on the Internet and on several radio talk shows. Webb refuses to stop making slanderous statements and he confronted AFFIANT in person, as he boasted, ”I will destroy you in the Patriot Movement”. AFFIANT has a copy of both items as evidence. On the video Webb boasts that he has an FBI symbol number. A symbol number is a method the FBI uses. This technique is used to protect informants by replacing their names with numbers for investigative reports. AFFIANT is aware of this method from his 27 1/2 years with the FBI. Webb and others, acting in concert, were responsible for the cancellation of AFFIANT's speaking engagements on September 27, 2003 . (See September 27, 2003 Memo attached) (See Exhibit “E”)

Comments

A. The government intelligence community has a number of techniques used to surreptitiously acquire a target and terminate him (a euphemism for assassination). Below are examples:

a. Cigarette holder with white tube that appears to be a cigarette. This device shoots poison darts that feels like a bug bite into the target.

b. Glass knife. The assassin gets close to the target and sticks the knife in the victim. No one would notice the knife. It can get past conventional metal weapon detectors. Such a knife could be small enough to be held up a sleeve out of sight.

c. Dropping liquid or powdered poison into a drink or food when the target is not looking, causing a heart attack or other fatal medical condition.

d. Using a poison-tipped needle in the palm of the hand, the assassin slaps the target on the shoulder or back in a gesture of endearment or camaraderie.

e. Small caliber gun (22 caliber), its barrel covered with a baby bottle nipple (acting as a silencer). The assassin places the gun in the mastoid area and fires. The bullet, not being very powerful, enters the head and ricochets inside the skull, in a manner that shreds the brain and stops the involuntary muscle control center, resulting in death.

B. It should be noted that AFFIANT has furnished the above information (Paragraph 1 through 34) to the Los Angeles Police Department.

C. NOTE: Due to the threats on his life, the surveillance, the monitoring and telephone taps, and the threats to friends, AFFIANT has decided that AFFIANT will no longer make public appearances; however, AFFIANT will continue his video and audio exposés.

Pursuant to Title 28 Section 1746(1), and according to the oath (I do solemnly swear to tell the truth…), AFFIANT does hereby affirm that the aforementioned facts are true, correct and complete to his knowledge, information and belief.

AFFIANT states that this Affidavit was prepared in the presence of our Almighty God, the Eternal One and Heavenly Father and His Son, Yashua the Christ, on this the 20 th day of October, 2003

Gunderson's Published Proposal to Deploy COINTELPRO Tactics

Excerpt from Ted Gunderson's Letter to Larry Flynt

December 21, 1998
Larry Flynt
Flynt Publications

PROPOSAL TO DISCLOSE AND DISRUPT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OF GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS

I. Counter Intelligence Operation

Organize a select group of trusted, loyal Americans to operate an effective legal counter-intelligence operation. The goal of a counter-intelligence operation is to educate and, in some instances, to disrupt the enemy by mailing anonymous letters to selected individuals and groups in order to create distrust and paranoia. Another goal is to furnish disinformation and create confusion. I was a counter-intelligence expert in the FBI and I am aware of numerous techniques with which to work towards this goal. I wish to emphasize we will not conduct any criminal or illegal activity, nor violate any laws. All activities would be legal. There are other techniques than can be used, in addition to anonymous letters, i.e., telephone calls from public telephones. Disinformation can also be spread on radio and television talk shows.

A Note from Stew Webb, Dec. 25, 2003

"At the time when this was written by Ted Gunderson in 1998, I did not know Ted Gunderson was a plant for the Bush Crime Family. Gunderson had convinced me to allow him to send this letter to Flint and others. Gunderson said he knew and had met Larry Flint, I had gotten word Larry Flint was looking for information on Criminals in Government, I mentioned this to Ted Gunderson and he keep telling me Oh Stew I have met him and have influence with him so let me write a letter. The things stated in this are pretty much fact, except the Covert Action that was Gunderson's stuff and his idea that I did not approve of doing, Gunderson was told by me, not to send such a letter with my name attached, after he sent it, he gave me a copy. I do have an original with his signature.

Note the Covert operation to disrupt etc, this is exactly what he is doing to myself, Barbara Hartwell, Jeremy Floyd and other Whistleblowers currently, using, Larry Lawson, Tim White, Brenda Negri, Sherri Shriner, Doug Millar, Shirley Anderson, and other DCS/Govt. dupes. I also might remind the readers of this: Gunderson Never did anything for Jeffery McDonald or McMartin Preschool except cover the cases up for Bush's."

"Duh! Because these people are total LYING COINTELPRO SMOKESCREEN ARTISTS! POLLUTERS OF THE INTERNET!"

[Barbara Hartwell, Stew Webb, Geral Sosbee, Rick Stanley and others.]

From Ken Adachi, Educate-Yourself

Barbara Hartwell, Founder & CEO of MC Liars, Inc.

[Adachi's permanent section dedicated to libeling/disseminating COINTELPRO black propaganda against Barbara Hartwell.]

Excerpts:

"The most telling trait of mind controlled character assassins like Barbara Hartwell is the continuous repetition of a stock set of REVERSALS of truth about Ted Gunderson and other targets. It's the same sort of thing you see from national liars like Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rice, etc. They (and Hartwell) accuse others of the very travesties that they themselves commit. Barbara Hartwell is forever accusing her character assassination targets of being liars, when in fact it is she, Barbara Hartwell, who fabricates lies straight out of thin air and then claims to have indisputable documented proof (which she NEVER produces) to back up her words! It's truly remarkable to read the adroitly written words of an individual (well trained under CIA MK Ultra mind control programming) who engages in such pathological mendacity while maintaining a posture of righteousness, indignation, and abused innocence.

It's unfortunate that Rick Stanley has allowed himself to be snookered by the incredible deceptiveness of Barbara Hartwell and Stew Webb. I'm happy to report that Alex Jones, however, wasn't duped so handily and quickly fired a young radio host about a year ago who was using Alex's radio platform to promote the lies of Webb, Hartwell, and Linda Newkirk. We can only hope that someday, Rick Stanley will see the light as well...Ken"

[Note,BHP: In fact, Alex Jones did NOT "fire the young radio host" (Jeremy Floyd). Alex Jones lied and then passed the lies on to other liars, as part of a cover-up. Jeremy Floyd quit GCN in disgust over censorship from Alex Jones/GCN. Alex Jones just ripped Barbara Hartwell off the air because I was exposing the truth about Ted Gunderson. 

Alex Jones has proven himself repeatedly to be a government-sponsored shill who selectively censors information which would be damaging to certain government operatives.

Additionally, Alex Jones threatened Floyd to "stay away from Barbara Hartwell." Floyd had his OWN SHOW, The Floyd Report. It was not "Alex's platform" as claimed by Ken Adachi. Alex Jones also promotes and supports Ted Gunderson and John DeCamp.]

"RICK STANLEY AND THE CIA MOUTHPIECE BARBARA HARTWELL ARE LIARS!

I put my own neck on the line for this BACK-STABBING Stanley when I exposed the original judge in Stanleys' case as a Federal judge sitting on the Denver County court bench, Judge Robert L Patterson. The Feds were NOT happy with this getting out and the Denver FBI Gestapo types have labeled ME as a "terrorist" for exposing this. Now this "great Patriot" Rick Stanley, is in cahoots with a KNOWN CIA OPERATIVE, Barbara "Babbles" Hartwell, to LIE, LIBEL, and SLANDER me in a very extensive operation that he is now part of. I am accused of absolute LIES that are absolutely TRUE of Stanley and Hartwell.
Your LIES here, Stanley,will come back to haunt YOU. If anyone has been a target of nefarious and illegal government operations against an individual, it is ME and it's been that way for over 15 years-ever since I tangled with the IRS starting in 1990.

I "won" that fight in 1992 and 1997 and the IRS sure as hell does NOT want to have ME in court exposing the FRAUD that the IRS is. I didn't "come out of the blue" to meet Stanley. I met him on Sept 3rd, 2002 at Denver Police headquarters when the infamous Denver Police SPY FILES were released-my name was there too.Stanley was there talking and couldn't help but be noticed by me since he was "campaigning" there. We spoke for maybe 10 minutes that evening and now he labels THAT as "stalking" and "harrassment"? Is THAT crazy or WHAT? ALL the REST ARE LIES, LIES, LIES!

Tim White,Viet Nam Vet(Air Force)Concerned Citizen"

From Rick Stanley's Newsletter (2005)

OPINION RELEASE: Harrassed by the FBI?

STANLEY NOTE: I have been getting "contacted" by some of these people involved with this situation. Let me say one thing for sure. Barbara Hartwell has been right on the money regarding Tim White, who has been harassing me after contacting me several years back, befriending me "out of the blue".

[Note, BHP: In telephone conversations with me, Rick Stanley described ongoing harassment from Tim White, AFTER first meeting him in Denver in 2002, which continued until 2005 when Stanley recognized White for what he is: a government snitch/dupe/provocateur.

White made numerous harassing telephone calls to Stanley's business and residence and at one point showed up at Stanley's door with his one-time "girlfriend", Shirley Anderson (also a government stooge/stalker.) Rick described Shirley Anderson as "some psycho woman who arrived at my house with Tim White".]

Other characters keep coming up such as Don Estep, Mark Holstlaw, Steve Olson from the FBI, Joint Terrorism Task Force and who knows what else. These individuals have also been involved in my cases for years now, always behind the scenes, showing up to interview me in jail, showing up at trials, etc. They keep getting mentioned by more and more as the criminal element of the government in the Denver area. Anyone who wishes may check out my website at http://www.stanley2002.org and the FBI has been involved with attacking me as well during this period. Other FBI agents have been involved with my cases the past 3 and 1/2 years now. The FBI was instrumental in my arrest on Oct 18, 2003, with the Denver Swat Team being involved as well.

To say that the FEDS have been pushing local authorities to charge me with "Influencing a Public Official" would be right on the money. The FBI initiated my arrest for this charge on that date. The FBI, IRS/CID and US Marshalls were involved in a June 2004 raid upon my business building and personal loft in Denver. Don Estep was involved on that date as well. They were looking for gold, money, paperwork and weapons. They found papers.

They stole my wife's .38 pistol from her desk drawer in her office of the business and later we retrieved that from the Thornton Police Department. Notice I said Thornton. Why were they participating in a raid on my building in Denver? 

They "stole" my wife's gun (Denver refused to charge anyone for violating the law regarding this issue in their jurisdiction because they protect each other from being charged for violating the law), and did not list it on the search and seizure warrant (theft) because there was "NO WARRANT", no search and seizure authority for guns or weapons. However, they were there looking for and "stealing" weapons. "The truth is". 
 
Why all this? I believe they want to render me without funds to defend myself in court and to destroy my business, which they told all of my employees that they were going to put me out of business and they should all look for new jobs immediately. All but one left. That employee is still working for the diminished Stanley Fastener and Shop Supply.

This is how your government is destroying America and Americans. I have not been charged yet by the FBI or IRS for anything, now ten months later. Nothing has been returned to me either. Our government operates in the shadows now. They are the criminal element.

Are people in the Patriot movement, whistleblowers, people who are speaking out and standing up for America being targeted? Seems to be the case...I know of hundreds if not thousands. I know I have. I have been found guilty of filing a pleading in two Adams County courts, of threats to judges although the law clearly says that I have the right to do what I did, regardless of how the government officials involved felt about it.

Remember that First Amendment? Free speech? The right to "petition the government for redress of grievance"? Not in Colorado...I have been sentenced to 6 years in state prison and am out on an $80,000.00 appeal bond or you wouldn't be hearing from me right now. I would be in jail if I couldn't defend myself so far from these criminals. That takes money folks. Lots of it. All I have ever done is "exercise" my God given, unalienable, Constitutionally protected and guaranteed rights in the POLICE STATE OF AMERICA. Pretty foolish huh?

From James F. Marino

"Good Riddance -- I Retract My Former Support For Barbara Hartwell Learning First Hand Why One Person Refers To Her As The Merchant Of Venom"

Excerpt:

"And let's not forget that she was a professional disinformation artist while employed by the CIA so she knows how to lie better than most people, and moreover, how to get away with it.

She also appears to be an everything or nothing person; totally unrealistic of how the real world operates.

This is also personified in the case of Ken Adachi, a man whom Hartwell has personally vilified, as she would have us believe that nothing that Adachi has said is worth listening to. However, if you look at Adachi's Website it is clear that he has much to say which is worth listening to in regard to the New World Order and myriad other topics. Because Hartwell does not agree with some of the information that he is circulating she is quick to discount "everything" that he says, which at the very least lacks objectivity.

The cesspool of an organization that she hails from speaks volumes in regard the training that its agents undergo. I think it went something like to the CIA the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth. Which can be applied to the entire US Intelligence Community since these people are paid to lie for a living, and that's about the kindest thing that you can say about them."

Excerpt from Barbara Hartwell Report (2007)

BHP: Why in hell would I endorse Mr. Marino's website when he is providing links which promote my enemies? And, ironically, who are part of the very COINTELPRO operations Mr. Marino claims to be "exposing".

Yet Mr. Marino's obnoxious aggression in attempts to justify his foolishness and bottomless ignorance now takes the form of aligning with one of these criminals, namely Ken Adachi. Here, he uses Adachi's epithet, "The Merchant of Venom" to describe Barbara Hartwell.

Mr. Marino is now parroting the very type of COINTELPRO black propaganda he claims to oppose in attempts to discredit Barbara Hartwell. He thus now defines himself as just another "useful idiot".

James Marino Accuses Adachi's controller, Ted Gunderson, of COINTELPRO TACTICS

From Ex-FBI Agent Geral Sosbee

Ken Adachi, liar

Succinctly, Ken Adachi is a malicious liar and a petty fraudster for writing the following statements about Geral Sosbee (regarding Gunderson, I have reason to believe that all statements written about him by my greatest friend, Barbara Hartwell, are true):

Adachi writes,
 
"...Barbara Hartwell's ... gets little coverage beyond Gerald Sosbee or Stew Webb or other government-controlled "whistleblower" flunkies. ...You can find most of my articles ... on my Ted Gunderson page".

FOREWORD

Several American patriots, government whistleblowers and activists have shared personal and professional information with me and thus have been contributors (knowingly or unknowingly) to this report. So I'd like to thank them up front for their insights and for providing me with further corroboration (and sometimes documentation) of the tactics of COINTELPRO and related operations designed to neutralize American citizens who are deemed a threat to the powers that be.

Though this report will not focus on details of their true stories, suffice it to say that their contributions have been valuable beyond measure.

Thanks to Constitutional Activist and Revolutionary Coalition founder Rick Stanley; ex-FBI agent and whistleblower Geral Sosbee; investigator, expositor of government corruption and author of One Way Ticket to Crawford Texas, Karl Schwarz; Rick Biesada, radio talk show host and head of the Chicago Minuteman Project; Cliff Hughes, activist and Revolutionary Coalition member; John Perna, JBS leader and activist (who knows more about COINTELPRO than anyone else I've ever talked to, including government agents); McMartin Preschool whistleblower Jackie McGauley; Wayne Blanchard, activist and sui juris expert. Also to those whom I'm sure wish to remain anonymous, thank you all as well.

And now, for something different: In this report, none of the perpetrators will be named. This is out of character for me; not at all my usual style...but the way I see it, since I've already named them repeatedly in my various reports, over a period of many years, I would rather allow the readers to recognize the tactics and draw their own conclusions. I'd also be willing to bet that some of these perps will oblige by coming out of the woodwork to attack me and others in response to this report. One last item: For any who would care to sincerely repent and change their ways, they will be assured of my forgiveness. Who could pass up such a deal? Only time will tell. By their fruits shall you know them.

PART ONE: COINTELPRO

This report addresses several issues related to COINTELPRO-style operations.

COINTELPRO (counter intelligence program) was initiated in 1956 under FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. A similar program, Operation Chaos, was run by CIA during the Cold War Era.

Today, these programs continue, though under different names and operations, with various federal agencies involved in their web of deception, skullduggery, black propaganda and carefully-crafted disinformation.

Their overarching agenda: Mainly to neutralize and/or discredit legitimate government whistleblowers who have come forward with truthful, accurate, factual information which is damaging to the criminals who have overthrown the U.S. Government from within. These criminals have subverted the United States Constitution; they are operating in collusion with a cabal of elitist plutocrats worldwide, to implement a totalitarian One World Government, otherwise known as the New World Order.

Though this brief overview is common knowledge to all well-informed individuals, what most do not understand is the inner workings of the criminal conspiracy connected to COINTELPRO, whose agents have infiltrated ALL levels of government; ALL activist organizations; ALL political parties, coalitions and PACs.

You name it, they've infiltrated it. I have yet to see an exception and don't expect I ever will. In fact, the main reason there is no real difference between the Democrats and the Republicans, though they each may outwardly promote a different agenda, is because both parties are controlled from above by the same cabal which runs the criminal conspiracy.

The criminal conspiracy is completely pervasive and functions like a well-oiled machine. The architects of the conspiracy are nearly "bullet proof". Their position at the pinnacle of the hierarchy is so far removed from --so far above-- the government officials, intelligence operatives, law enforcement personnel, military personnel, and the rank-and-file government employees and civil servants who simply "follow orders", that obtaining solid evidence against the movers and shakers of the Global Elite is a Herculean task. So it's no surprise that they are known in intelligence circles as the Olympic Cartel.

CONNECTING THE NODES IN THE CRIMINAL WEB

But for those persistent and dedicated investigators and independent intelligence analysts, there are ways to beat the system; to unravel the web of corruption. Starting at the top is not an effective method. We start where we have easy access to verifiable information and where collecting evidence is only a matter of time, effort and investigative legwork.

And for those whistleblowers and activists such as myself who have been targeted by the criminal conspiracy, we begin by focusing not on the higher levels of government operatives giving the orders, but on those tasked with carrying out the orders. Just as in the drug cartels, though it is already known who actually runs them, criminal investigators often start with the low-level street dealers, gathering evidence, and work their way up to the drug lords from there. It is often just a matter of connecting the nodes in the web and developing the evidence as the investigation progresses.

Now, it is important to understand the concept of "plausible deniability". Quite simply, this means that the conspirators and liars running the COINTELPRO-style operations set up a little insurance policy to protect themselves; a contingency plan in case their criminal operations are exposed. They can then DENY any involvement or wrongdoing which might implicate them in the conspiracy.

How do they do this? One way is to use lowly minions to do their dirty work: those who have no official status within the government, from whom they can easily distance themselves if their plans go awry. The minions fall into several categories by which they can be identified.

But most importantly, they are all considered expendable. They are expendable, because in the final analysis, in the Big Picture, they are deemed inconsequential nobodies by the powers-that-be.

[ALERT TO READERS, added November 17, 2006:

One (or more) of the COINTELPRO minions (not mentioned by name in this report) have taken this report and posted it on various websites, selectively DELETING certain parts of the report. One site on which I found that certain portions had been deleted was Liberty Forum.

I did not post this report on that site myself (the "source" was named as The Revolutionary Coalition message board, on which it was originally posted by Rick Stanley) and yet I found my name there as the purported "poster".

Below, in bold type, is one entire subheading of this report which was totally deleted, COINTELPRO MINIONS:EXPENDABLE HIRELINGS. Certain portions of another subheading, EXPUNGING LOYALTY, DESTROYING LOVE, were also deleted by this malicious "cut-and-paste" forger, specifically my comments on Jesus Christ and the importance of spiritual love in defeating evil.

I should also mention that one of the most despicable of these government stooges, criminals and provocateurs, a psychopath by the name of Todd Brendan Fahey, has for years been perpetrating identity theft and forgery (including of the "cut-and-paste" variety) among other crimes, against Barbara Hartwell; ex-FBI agent Geral Sosbee and others.

In fact, Fahey was banned from Liberty Post in 2004, for libel, stalking, and for obscenity --fabricating pornographic filth in connection with my name. However, Fahey is known to use many aliases and screen names, by which he gets back into the forums from which he has been banned. In the "comments" section of Liberty Post, after this report, I noted that one of Fahey's many screen names (which being the coward he is, he has a habit of hiding behind) was listed.

I also find it interesting (and typical) that this DELETED subsection describes Todd Fahey to a "T". Criminal; stalker; psychopath; drug abuser; porno-monger; pathological liar; COINTELPRO minion and "spook wannabe". This creep is the lowest of the low, even among his fellow government toadies.

Fahey has also, in the past, "edited" the material of certain writers (including Barbara Hartwell) without permission and has notably REMOVED all references to Jesus Christ or anything of a Christian nature. By his own admission, he is not a Christian and has claimed that talking about Christ makes a person "sound too religious". Aside from the fact that Fahey has no right whatsoever to tamper with the work of others; nor to appoint himself as the arbiter of the religious beliefs of others, it is clear that there is a more sinister motive for him to DELETE all references to Christ. I'll leave it to the readers to figure that one out.

So that the readers my be certain they are seeing the WHOLE REPORT, and so they may see for themselves a case in point of the tactics used by these government stooges and liars, I have put this section in
BOLD TYPE. BH]

COINTELPRO MINIONS: EXPENDABLE HIRELINGS

1) Criminals

Those convicted of a crime (or known to be involved in criminal activities) who wish to make a deal for a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card by becoming snitches; and/or by targeting the former intelligence/law enforcement personnel or others who have become government whistleblowers.

2) Activists/Amateurs/ Wannabes

Members of political activist groups, or individual activists, many of whom are merely dupes, hoodwinked by the covert government operatives (who pose as patriots, especially organizers or "leaders") and are drawn into their web with (false) promises. The operatives often choose those who are ambitious amateurs; "wannabes" (those with no training, expertise or background in intelligence work, law enforcement or other disciplines) and appeal to their egos to give them a false sense of "importance" --when in reality they are merely stooges being used for a government-sponsored agenda.

3) Drug Abusers and Psychopaths

Some individuals from this third category may also fall into the first two. Psychopaths are particularly useful, as they can easily be dismissed by the government operatives as whackjobs, nutcases, kooks, lone nutters, etc. should they become a liability. These types are often easier to control --if they get out of line, they can simply be thrown into a mental ward with few questions asked. Now, this is not to say that the government operatives don't try to impugn the sanity of legitimate whistleblowers, in order to neutralize them --they most certainly do. But the difference is, some of those used as minions in the COINTELPRO are REAL nutcases and the operatives controlling them are well aware of that fact.

Most are also pathological liars who may be delusional; narcissistic and entertain paranoid fantasies, which are purposely fueled by the government operatives. Often the designated targets (whistleblowers) are falsely accused of various plots or crimes against the delusional/paranoid minions.

The COINTELPRO operatives feed them such false information in order to engender a personal vendetta against the targets. A vendetta which is based on falsehoods; twisting factual information to demonize the target; and often outright lies.

There also may be an element of hero worship --worship of the covert (and not so covert) government operatives by their dupes and minions. When one of the bad guy operatives is exposed by legitimate whistleblowers, the minions rally to his defense, attacking the targeted whistleblowers for what they claim are their "unjust" accusations or "lies."

Nothing could be further from the truth. The minions have been manipulated into promoting the very lies their controllers have fabricated, and continuing the cover-up of criminal activity, be it drugs-for-weapons deals; child sex abuse; money laundering; blackmail; espionage or any other forms of criminal conspiracy/racketeering.

The primary key to using these minions to target whistleblowers is manipulation, often through behavior modification tactics. Appeal to their emotions, by which they are ruled. Flatter their egos. Make them feel "important." Make them feel like real "players." Make them believe they are "doing the right thing"; going after the "bad guys" (legitimate whistleblowers); fool them into believing they are serving "Truth"and "Justice."

Meanwhile, it's all based on lies. Usually outrageous lies, demonizing the targets (legitimate whistleblowers) with the purpose of discrediting their testimony about REAL government crimes and corruption.

Facts; logical reasoning; critical analysis: these have no place in the COINTELPRO. It is based upon a web of falsehood, spun by liars, inside a hall of smoke and mirrors.

COINTELPRO also exploits the "alternative media" to do their dirty work. Since the advent of the Internet as the major "news" venue, the level of professionalism in journalism has plummeted. These days, just about anyone can put up a blog and promote their opinions, write editorials and distribute them to be available to thousands, even millions of readers. The very same operatives who recruit the dupes and minions also rely on alternative media websites and radio programs to spread their disinformation far and wide.

DHS INVASIONS OF PRIVACY BY MALINTENT



None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.

Homeland Security Detects Terrorist Threats by Reading Your Mind
Tuesday , September 23, 2008
By Allison Barrie


Baggage searches are SOOOOOO early-21st century. Homeland Security is now testing the next generation of security screening — a body scanner that can read your mind.

Most preventive screening looks for explosives or metals that pose a threat. But a new system called MALINTENT turns the old school approach on its head. This Orwellian-sounding machine detects the person — not the device — set to wreak havoc and terror.

MALINTENT, the brainchild of the cutting-edge Human Factors division in Homeland Security's directorate for Science and Technology, searches your body for non-verbal cues that predict whether you mean harm to your fellow passengers.

It has a series of sensors and imagers that read your body temperature, heart rate and respiration for unconscious tells invisible to the naked eye — signals terrorists and criminals may display in advance of an attack.

But this is no polygraph test. Subjects do not get hooked up or strapped down for a careful reading; those sensors do all the work without any actual physical contact. It's like an X-ray for bad intentions.

Currently, all the sensors and equipment are packaged inside a mobile screening laboratory about the size of a trailer or large truck bed, and just last week, Homeland Security put it to a field test in Maryland, scanning 144 mostly unwitting human subjects.

While I'd love to give you the full scoop on the unusual experiment, testing is ongoing and full disclosure would compromise future tests.

• Click here for an exclusive look at MALINTENT in action.
http://www.foxnews.com/printer_frien...26485,00.html#

But what I can tell you is that the test subjects were average Joes living in the D.C. area who thought they were attending something like a technology expo; in order for the experiment to work effectively and to get the testing subjects to buy in, the cover story had to be convincing.

While the 144 test subjects thought they were merely passing through an entrance way, they actually passed through a series of sensors that screened them for bad intentions.

Homeland Security also selected a group of 23 attendees to be civilian "accomplices" in their test. They were each given a "disruptive device" to carry through the portal — and, unlike the other attendees, were conscious that they were on a mission.

In order to conduct these tests on human subjects, DHS had to meet rigorous safety standards to ensure the screening would not cause any physical or emotional harm.

So here's how it works. When the sensors identify that something is off, they transmit warning data to analysts, who decide whether to flag passengers for further questioning. The next step involves micro-facial scanning, which involves measuring minute muscle movements in the face for clues to mood and intention.

Homeland Security has developed a system to recognize, define and measure seven primary emotions and emotional cues that are reflected in contractions of facial muscles. MALINTENT identifies these emotions and relays the information back to a security screener almost in real-time.

This whole security array — the scanners and screeners who make up the mobile lab — is called "Future Attribute Screening Technology" — or FAST — because it is designed to get passengers through security in two to four minutes, and often faster.

If you're rushed or stressed, you may send out signals of anxiety, but FAST isn't fooled. It's already good enough to tell the difference between a harried traveler and a terrorist. Even if you sweat heavily by nature, FAST won't mistake you for a baddie.

"If you focus on looking at the person, you don't have to worry about detecting the device itself," said Bob Burns, MALINTENT's project leader. And while there are devices out there that look at individual cues, a comprehensive screening device like this has never before been put together.

While FAST's batting average is classified, Undersecretary for Science and Technology Adm. Jay Cohen declared the experiment a "home run."

As cold and inhuman as the electric eye may be, DHS says scanners are unbiased and nonjudgmental. "It does not predict who you are and make a judgment, it only provides an assessment in situations," said Burns. "It analyzes you against baseline stats when you walk in the door, it measures reactions and variations when you approach and go through the portal."

But the testing — and the device itself — are not without their problems. This invasive scanner, which catalogues your vital signs for non-medical reasons, seems like an uninvited doctor's exam and raises many privacy issues.

But DHS says this is not Big Brother. Once you are through the FAST portal, your scrutiny is over and records aren't kept. "Your data is dumped," said Burns. "The information is not maintained — it doesn't track who you are."

DHS is now planning an even wider array of screening technology, including an eye scanner next year and pheromone-reading technology by 2010.

The team will also be adding equipment that reads body movements, called "illustrative and emblem cues." According to Burns, this is achievable because people "move in reaction to what they are thinking, more or less based on the context of the situation."

FAST may also incorporate biological, radiological and explosive detection, but for now the primary focus is on identifying and isolating potential human threats.

And because FAST is a mobile screening laboratory, it could be set up at entrances to stadiums, malls and in airports, making it ever more difficult for terrorists to live and work among us.

Burns noted his team's goal is to "restore a sense of freedom." Once MALINTENT is rolled out in airports, it could give us a future where we can once again wander onto planes with super-sized cosmetics and all the bottles of water we can carry — and most importantly without that sense of foreboding that has haunted Americans since Sept. 11.

Barbara Hartwell Percival Comments

"--a body scanner that can read your mind."

BHP: Well, not exactly. The true "mind" cannot be accessed through any such crude device, no matter how hi-tech. Maybe it can read electromagnetic signals from the brain. So what? The brain is only a step-down transformer for the "mind", which is spiritual in nature and exists in another dimension, while still permeating the so-called physical, three dimensional world. And what's more, I can assure you that no such device can "read the mind" of one who dwells in the eternal, non-dualistic realm of the Spirit.

"Most preventive screening looks for explosives or metals that pose a threat. But a new system called MALINTENT turns the old school approach on its head. This Orwellian-sounding machine detects the person — not the device — set to wreak havoc and terror."

BHP: Well, not exactly. The "detection" being used here obviously depends on a limited set of protocols, determined by an admittedly unproven system. Who can presume to say with certainty the "intent" of any individual? As for wreaking havoc and terror, I'd say the Department of Homeland Security has already got that covered. But at least she's got the "Orwellian" part right.

"MALINTENT, the brainchild of the cutting-edge Human Factors division in Homeland Security's directorate for Science and Technology, searches your body for non-verbal cues that predict whether you mean harm to your fellow passengers."

BHP: "Human Factors"? Is that like "Human Resources"? Something to be used, counted, analyzed, categorized, only as part of a larger system, but not truly perceived as a flesh-and-blood, sentient, natural individual, a living spirit.

You won't need any non-verbal cues from me (nor will you ever have the opportunity to assault me with your scanners) but I'll give you a very blunt verbal cue. Try predicting THIS, you morons: No Sovereign Child of God will sit by and allow you morally bankrupt Homeland Security goons to invade his/her space, in an airport or anywhere else on God's green earth!

"It has a series of sensors and imagers that read your body temperature, heart rate and respiration for unconscious tells invisible to the naked eye — signals terrorists and criminals may display in advance of an attack."

BHP: You mean, like those signals displayed by the liars, criminals and terrorists that occupy the highest offices in the land? Why not scan them, and get them off the streets so the rest of us can live in peace? And we don't need your high-tech scanners to read the signals. Those are flagrantly displayed in plain sight, for all with eyes to see.

"But this is no polygraph test. Subjects do not get hooked up or strapped down for a careful reading; those sensors do all the work without any actual physical contact. It's like an X-ray for bad intentions."

BHP: Well, again, not exactly. It is a known fact that many pathological liars (sociopaths) can pass a polygraph with flying colors. It is also a known fact that intelligence operatives are routinely trained to beat a polygraph. Another known fact: Certain intelligence operatives HAVE beat the polygraph. Aldrich Ames, for one. And finally, that is why polygraph tests are NOT considered evidence in a court of law. Oh, but I forgot, silly me...we have no rule of law left in this country. Homeland Security (among many other treasonous agencies) have seen to that.

"Currently, all the sensors and equipment are packaged inside a mobile screening laboratory about the size of a trailer or large truck bed, and just last week, Homeland Security put it to a field test in Maryland, scanning 144 mostly unwitting human subjects."

BHP: Unwitting human subjects....where have we heard that one before? Oh yes, like the military "testing" on soldiers; like the mind control programs run by CIA; like the surveillance cameras hidden in street lights. You people won't be satisfied until every person on the face of the earth can be counted as one of your unwitting human subjects.

"While I'd love to give you the full scoop on the unusual experiment, testing is ongoing and full disclosure would compromise future tests."

BHP: I'm sure you would, Ms. Barrie. But you are just another bought-and-paid for lackey of the mainstream media cartel. And I'm sure, of all people, as the security and terrorism consultant with the Commission for National Security in the 21st Century, and the security columnist for the illustrious FOX News, you wouldn't want to do anything which might compromise the agenda of the American Surveillance Society. Don't worry about compromising your integrity, though...you have none.

"But what I can tell you is that the test subjects were average Joes living in the D.C. area who thought they were attending something like a technology expo; in order for the experiment to work effectively and to get the testing subjects to buy in, the cover story had to be convincing."

BHP: The so-called "average Joe" does not exist. These are individual human beings, created by God. And they have the RIGHT TO PRIVACY, among other God-given rights. But the cover story comes as no surprise. Cover stories abound where the government is concerned. I can't really think of one operation run by these liars, cowards and tyrants that does NOT involve a cover story. After all, telling the truth would bring down the house.

"While the 144 test subjects thought they were merely passing through an entrance way, they actually passed through a series of sensors that screened them for bad intentions."

BHP: Bad intentions? Oh, you mean like covertly invading a person's privacy, while running a cover-up in real time?

"Homeland Security also selected a group of 23 attendees to be civilian "accomplices" in their test. They were each given a "disruptive device" to carry through the portal — and, unlike the other attendees, were conscious that they were on a mission."

BHP: A moron on a mission...that sounds like a great job for one of the G-Man wannabes you people recruit to do your dirty work. Yes indeed, it makes them feel IMPORTANT to be a part of a covert operation! Just think of the tales of derring-do they can tell all their friends!

"In order to conduct these tests on human subjects, DHS had to meet rigorous safety standards to ensure the screening would not cause any physical or emotional harm."

BHP: Who is to determine what constitutes harm? "Safety standards"? The cops electrocuting people with tasers claim they are "safe". But nothing could be further from the truth. Electrocution does damage, no matter how young and healthy the victim. For the elderly, the infirm or those with a heart condition, it can mean death.

But one thing is certain: Violations of God-given rights DO cause harm. And any "tests on human subjects" WITHOUT THEIR INFORMED CONSENT are not only unscrupulous, they are unlawful.

"So here's how it works. When the sensors identify that something is off, they transmit warning data to analysts, who decide whether to flag passengers for further questioning. The next step involves micro-facial scanning, which involves measuring minute muscle movements in the face for clues to mood and intention."

BHP: Are they serious with this nonsense? I guess they are. But I do see one thing that is most definitely "off". That is, the "mood and intention" of a government who would attempt to micro-manage every aspect of the lives of individuals for no other purpose than locking down a police state where each and every individual is under COMPLETE CONTROL.

"Homeland Security has developed a system to recognize, define and measure seven primary emotions and emotional cues that are reflected in contractions of facial muscles. MALINTENT identifies these emotions and relays the information back to a security screener almost in real-time.

This whole security array — the scanners and screeners who make up the mobile lab — is called "Future Attribute Screening Technology" — or FAST — because it is designed to get passengers through security in two to four minutes, and often faster."

BHP: That's just great. Now, with all these techno-goons on the case, there will be no more delays and people will not have to worry about being unavoidably detained...except for those occasions where the person's "intent" comes under suspicion and they are detained for interrogation, or perhaps, detained permanently, without access to legal counsel or due process.

"If you're rushed or stressed, you may send out signals of anxiety, but FAST isn't fooled. It's already good enough to tell the difference between a harried traveler and a terrorist. Even if you sweat heavily by nature, FAST won't mistake you for a baddie."

BHP: Is this for real? A machine, manned by government goons, will now decide who is harried, who is a terrorist. An added benefit: You won't be deemed a "baddie". Preposterous!

"If you focus on looking at the person, you don't have to worry about detecting the device itself," said Bob Burns, MALINTENT's project leader. And while there are devices out there that look at individual cues, a comprehensive screening device like this has never before been put together."

BHP: Well, not exactly, Bob. I beg to differ. Technology like this (and in fact, much more sophisticated) has existed for decades. The government just hasn't made its existence known to the public. You're a liar, Bob. But then, what can we expect from such a government "project leader"?

"While FAST's batting average is classified, Undersecretary for Science and Technology Adm. Jay Cohen declared the experiment a "home run."

BHP: A home run for whom, Mr. Cohen? Maybe for the government team, but certainly not for WE THE PEOPLE.

"As cold and inhuman as the electric eye may be, DHS says scanners are unbiased and nonjudgmental. "It does not predict who you are and make a judgment, it only provides an assessment in situations," said Burns. "It analyzes you against baseline stats when you walk in the door, it measures reactions and variations when you approach and go through the portal."

BHP: Bob, I get the feeling you're lying to us again... As for your baseline stats, they could only possibly represent a closed and sterile system. Trying to measure reactions and variations from that system would be totally useless in assessing anything which operates outside that system...like a flesh-and-blood, sentient, natural, living spirit, for example.

"But the testing — and the device itself — are not without their problems. This invasive scanner, which catalogues your vital signs for non-medical reasons, seems like an uninvited doctor's exam and raises many privacy issues."

BHP: Why do they always have to whitewash their plots by saying, it "raises privacy issues"?

THIS OPERATION IS AN OUTRIGHT AND FLAGRANT INVASION OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S PRIVACY. PERIOD. CASE CLOSED.

"But DHS says this is not Big Brother. Once you are through the FAST portal, your scrutiny is over and records aren't kept. "Your data is dumped," said Burns. "The information is not maintained — it doesn't track who you are."

BHP: Not Big Brother? Well, of course, the disclaimer. And I'm sure the data is dumped...in a GOVERNMENT DATA DUMP, that is.

How could anyone be so foolish or naive as to believe they would get hold of information and just throw it away? Comrade Bob, your true colors are showing.

"DHS is now planning an even wider array of screening technology, including an eye scanner next year and pheromone-reading technology by 2010."

BHP: I'll just bet they are....but again, the technology has been in existence for decades. They're just implementing it in increments. Wouldn't want to cause a panic by shoving it all in our faces all at once, would you?

"The team will also be adding equipment that reads body movements, called "illustrative and emblem cues." According to Burns, this is achievable because people "move in reaction to what they are thinking, more or less based on the context of the situation."

BHP: It seems Bob considers himself a real headshrinker! A pioneer in analyzing human behavior....able to home in on your every move and detect your intent (or "malintent".)

How about this, Bob: Why don't you ditch all the fancy equipment and psychological theories and just fall down on your knees and ask forgiveness for trying to usurp the power of the Creator? Yes, that would be a novel idea for you and your ilk.

But unlikely to happen, as long as you continue in your satanic delusions that you and your "team" can "assess" what's in the hearts and minds of others. Only God knows that. And that's why I'd say you have a serious problem, Bob. Repent, before it's too late.

"FAST may also incorporate biological, radiological and explosive detection, but for now the primary focus is on identifying and isolating potential human threats."

BHP: Just a little friendly assurance here. But anyone with half a brain has already identified the "human threats" in this country. And there is nothing "potential" about them.

"And because FAST is a mobile screening laboratory, it could be set up at entrances to stadiums, malls and in airports, making it ever more difficult for terrorists to live and work among us."

BHP: Great idea! Soon, we won't be able to go to the grocery store without being "scanned" and "analyzed for malintent" by Homeland Stupidity goons. Wouldn't want to take a chance on being accosted by a terrorist in the produce aisle!

"Burns noted his team's goal is to "restore a sense of freedom." Once MALINTENT is rolled out in airports, it could give us a future where we can once again wander onto planes with super-sized cosmetics and all the bottles of water we can carry — and most importantly without that sense of foreboding that has haunted Americans since Sept. 11."

BHP: The punch line, naturally: Now we are asked to believe that all these invasions of privacy, all this surveillance and analysis and check points and voodoo technology, have but this one lofty goal: To "restore a sense of freedom".

But a "sense of freedom" is not enough. A "sense of freedom" is only an illusion, and is not FREEDOM ITSELF.

None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.

In true Orwellian fashion, MALINTENT describes NOT the intent of those it was designed to control and ultimately enslave, but the intent of those who created it.
