In my recent report, The Denver Connection: Spook Central, I began to
tell a story of a far-reaching web of corruption; illegal covert operations;
mind control; government cover-ups and much more.  This 'web', as I see
fit to call it, extends far beyond Denver, spanning not only the U.S. but the
entire globe.  Denver, especially during this past year, has been the locus
of much activity in relation to my own situation and continuing investigation.

I am necessarily telling the story from my own perspective and
involvement, so I cannot claim to be an objective nor an unbiased party.  I
don't yet know where the story will lead, nor what the outcome will be,
especially for myself . I can only continue my investigation; reporting
new developments and elaborating on past events as I learn more; as I
interview more witnesses; as additional information is made available; as
new facts and insights are revealed to me.

THE TANGLED WEB

 But back to the web. As I envision this web in my own mind, it is
punctuated at strategic points by nodes, like pins on a map; some
representing individual entities; some collective entities. But however you may
view it, many entities have been caught in this web, and like that
woven by some sinister and predatory spider, it is a sticky and tangled web
indeed. Some --lured perhaps by the promise of material booty, the
spoils of global war and manipulation; the raw desire for power and
ego-gratification, were inviegled by their own choice, in conscious, willing
participation. Others found themselves ensnared, through no fault or
choice of their own and are trying valiantly to extricate themselves.
Still others don't realize their unwitting participation, their own
victimization; nor that they are being exploited in a much larger scheme.

As for myself, I am simply trying to make sense of the many strange and
disturbing events and 'coincidences' which continue to be part and parcel of
what is already my very strange life. Admittedly, I myself was caught in the
web from earliest childhood, by virtue of the unconscionable co-opting of my
life by the CIA and have been struggling to free myself ever since. And perhaps
naively ambitious, I have long sought not only to liberate myself, but to do all in
my power to destroy the very fabric of the toxic web within which so many
innocent souls suffer as hapless prey.

I don't claim to have all the answers; I don't claim to have all the
facts at my ready disposal; and at this point I have little hard evidence
of that which I do know. One salient fact, however, stands out in stark
relief against the backdrop of this massive web of deceit, criminal
activity and clandestine operations: Those who may have the courage and
the true intent to extricate themselves; to openly fight for their
liberty, and to expose the truth about the architects of the web are targeted
for political persecution, and in the worst case scenario, hunted down
mercilessly, marked for termination.

There is an old saying about the CIA: Once in, never out.  As I  see
it, this little aphorism could apply just as well to the military or for
that matter, any government bureau or agency in which the training and
indoctrination become an integral part of the individual's psyche and
mode of operation. Yet, as I know from personal experience, it is possible
to free oneself from the mental straight jacket of the brainwashing --for it is
nothing less-- while retaining the training as a valuable --and necessary--asset.
And if that training is used in the service of honorable and ethical ideals,
you have a fighting chance to beat those who are still 'inside'-- still laboring
under the indoctrination-- at their own game.  No guarantees.
But still a fighting chance.....and that's enough for me.

One of the many caught in the sinister web is a man named Tim Hall,
otherwise known by the code name: Weasel. He is a retired Special Forces
man who was utilized in the infamous Phoenix Program under the command
of General John K. Singlaub. I had been in the process of debriefing
Hall, for the purpose of helping him recover his memories and free himself
from the insidious chains of mind control programming which were
instrumental in Phoenix, especially in the deepest black enclaves of the
program involving political assassination. And I had high hopes for Weasel,
I really thought he'd make it out and who knows ? ...maybe he still
will. But for now, as I see it, his future is looking grim, though for all
I know, he may see things in a very different light. I can't presume to
read what is in his heart, nor to speak for him.

The last I heard from Tim Hall,  he had --seemingly of a sudden-- made
a 180-degree turn, and instead of standing by his oath to defend
liberty and the Constitution, told me he had agreed to go back to work for
the government, under the repressive regime. During one period of time,
while serving in the military, he had been part of the Army's Criminal
Investigation Division (CID).  Now, claimed Hall, he had accepted an
offer to work CID for the IRS.

Yes, the IRS, the same good folks who had frozen his bank accounts and
looted his cash only a few weeks before, as part of their PsyOps
campaign. Well, maybe now at least they'll give him back his money, along
with an extra bonus. Who can say ?

Hall explained that he had met with some gov't agents, whom he referred
to as 'the boys' and was told by these agents that they (whoever they
are) were about to 'bring the roof down' on yours truly, Barbara
Hartwell. Whatever that means......

THE BIG MESS

Naturally, I have had to think hard about what this might
mean......this so-called 'bringing the roof down'. I was told by Weasel that 'the
agents' explained that I and certain other whistleblowers with similar
values and commitments --such as exposing the gov't corruption by which
we had been victimized; defending our civil liberites and our
Constitution--had 'created a mess' for 'them'. I can only guess that telling the
truth would create a mess; that is, since the powers-that-be and their
whores in the mainstream media are in the business of selling lies
wholesale to the American Public. And I guess defending the Constitution
could 'create a mess' for those who are hell-bent on staging a full-blown
Coup d' Etat.  Yes indeed, real patriots --those willing to die
fighting for their freedom-- could certainly create quite a mess.

I have also had to think about the true identities of the several sets of
government agents who paid visits on Hall, between the dates of November 7
and December 10. The first set, who showed up the day after Hall's arrest
on November 6, for 'assault with a deadly weapon on gov't officials' at the
Denver Social Security Office, claimed to be FBI. These were the guys
who claimed to be among a few 'good guys' still inside the gov't, who also
claimed they 'supported' my cause --defending the Constitution-- and said they
understood that what the CIA had done to me was wrongful. Yeah, right.
I really believe they're on my side....real stand up guys.

The second set of agents, who showed up sans a warrant, to confiscate
documents which they said they needed to file additional criminal charges
against Tim White, claimed to be DOJ, according to Hall. These were
the guys who told Hall that they had been informed he was planning to
take a trip; the planned trip was to see me, though this time my name was
not mentioned by the agents. And of course, the planned trip from Denver
to Woodstock, NY was sabotaged, as I fully expected it would be. Hall
found sugar in his gas tank, which effectively threw a wrench into his plans.

 As far as I can tell, about the only thing these agents told the truth about was
that they had been listening to my phone conversations with Tim Hall; and had us
both under other forms of surveillance. But then, that was no news flash to me,
since in my case it's been going on for many, many years. In Tim's case, who knows ?
He told me he was only targeted for surveillance and harassment after he became
associated with me and my 'cause'.

As to the identities of the third set or group of agents, with whom
Hall met to discuss some issues, including those to do with myself and my
activities, I was never told by Hall who they claimed to be. By that
time, Hall had turned to the other side, and I guess he thought I didn't
have the need-to-know.

However, I do know that unless any of these agents had very high
security clearances they could not possibly have access to any real
information about me nor the covert operations I was involved in. Unless the
agents were actually CIA or possibly from certain other intelligence
agencies, foreign or domestic  and posing as law enforcement under DOJ ( not
an uncommon situation) they could not possibly have gained access to my files.
But since I have no way to prove any of this, it is pointless to speculate further.

But before I forget, I was also offered 'protection'  from the
re-recruited Weasel who had turned to the side of my adversaries, the
Constitution-shredders, the traitors, liars and cowards who are apparently
acting as enforcers for King George II and his henchmen, Tom Ridge and John
Ashcroft. I was told by Weasel that he didn't know how long they would
wait to 'make their move' on me, that he could only 'protect' me for so long.

But anyway, being who and what I am, a defender of the Constitution, a
patriot and someone who has long vowed to fight to the death, if need
be, for my liberty, I declined Weasel's offer to exchange my liberty for
enslavement and whatever form of 'protection' these tyrants have in
mind for me. I only wish Weasel had stood his ground and done the same,
rather than allowing himself to be bought off and/or intimidated, but it
was his decision and now he'll have to live with it.

Well, the more I thought about all this, the angrier I got. How DARE
these bastards.... these soulless vipers....these craven sons-of
bitches....offer me 'protection' . How DARE they tell Weasel to pass on a
message to me that I should 'get rid of' my website; be silenced from
speaking the truth; give up my freedom of speech ? How DARE they ?

 If they have some business with me, why in hell didn't they just
approach me directly ? I'll tell you why: Because they know the kind of
reception they would get from me, the same reception they and their ilk
have gotten for years......Get lost, G-men. Using the tactics they
invariably do, deceit, sabotage, subterfuge, obfuscation,
intimidation.......these cowards know full well they'd just be wasting their time.

As to the thinly veiled threat of the dire consequences to me, should I
fail to comply with this 'advice', I have to wonder what exactly it is
that they plan to do to me, when they 'make their move'..... Do they
plan to send jack-booted thugs from Homeland Security to break my door
down and capture me, to haul me away to some secret facility where they
will hold me for interrogation ? Do they plan to torture me ? Do they
plan to have me executed as a 'terrorist' ?

The irony of this --which could hardly escape my notice-- is that,
except for the final 'execution', they've already done all these things to
me.  Sorry boys, I've been there, done that.  I've already been
abducted from my home, as well as from public places, countless times over the
past 40-some-odd years. I've already been drugged, poisoned, shot at,
interrogated and tortured. And I have the battle scars to prove it.

And this was long before Homeland Security was more than just the wet
dream of tyrants-in-power past. So what else is new ? As for
assassination attempts, there have been a few of those too, but fortunately for
me, my life was saved repeatedly by divine intervention.

As I see it, the real, and the ONLY pertinent question is this: What
about the 'mess' these bastards have created for ME ? What about the
childhood they stole from me? What about 'messing' with my psyche,
subjecting me to mind control programming ? What about the CIA 'spychiatrists'
who drugged and hypnotized me; erased the memories of large portions of
my life, such as when I was being utilized in certain of their illegal
covert operations? What about twisting my talents and gifts of the
spirit in service to their own nefarious agenda ? What about the fact that
I was never allowed to have MY OWN LIFE, free from their manipulation
and control ? What about THAT 'mess'?

I never volunteered to become a sleeper agent; a manchurian candidate;
a deep cover operative for these bastards from hell; nor was my
ambition to become 'the perfect spy' under the MKULTRA program. No, indeed.
Believe me, I would have made very different plans for my life, had I
been allowed to make my own choices.

And NOW, they want to offer me 'protection' ??? Protection from WHAT ?
This is just more of the same tired old crap... same shit, different day.

They now expect me to just give up the fight after all these years ?
They expect me to admit defeat, just because they think they have me
surrounded and have ripped away the last vestiges of any support and backup
I may have had ? Do they really think that just because their PsyOps
game has worked on almost every person around me, for years, that it will
now work on me ? Well, they apparently don't know me at all.  As my
intelligence operative father used to say, 'There's no substitute for stupidity'.

 As I've told these psychopaths countless times: Go to hell..... where
you're already heading in a handcart. And if all else fails, you can
always just kill me.....take your best shot..... before I'll ever sell
out or buy 'protection' from pathetic-excuses-for-human beings like you.

 ON THE TRAIL OF SOME INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS

But enough of the lunatics who are running the asylum and their trained
goons. Let's move on to look at some current events. Let's hear the
testimony of a man whom I'll call Mike, another Denver resident and
ex-military man who suffered the consequences of investigating the
corruption; telling the truth and standing up for his rights.

As mentioned in former reports, Mike had an unfortunate 'accident'. An
arranged 'accident', that is. As Mike described it to me in a phone
interview, he had been heading up to a mountain camping retreat in his
truck. At one point in the road, two vehicles, one a white truck and
another a 4X4 white Jeep, appeared; one heading toward him at breakneck
speed on the wrong side of the road, the other boxing him in, thus
preventing him from crossing to the other side. In order to avoid a head-on
collision, Mike swerved his truck to the side of the road, where he went
over the edge of a sharp decline, hitting trees on the way down, until
his vehicle finally came to a stop, entangled in tree branches. Mike
managed to get out of his truck, by smashing the window glass with his
fist, then climbing onto the fender. But he remembers nothing after that
point. He says he was suddenly knocked out cold, only to wake up three
days later in a hospital room, in critical condition. Some of his
injuries were hard to explain, since they could not possibly have been a
result of the accident. Apparently, he was attacked again after being
knocked unconscious by the unknown assailants who had run his truck over the
side of the mountain road, and left for dead. He was rescued by a
medical team and removed from the scene of the crime by helicopter, after a
passing motorist called for assistance.

 About a month before this incident, Mike had been asked by Tim White,
the Denver man arrested for possession of marijuana, to accompany Tim
Hall to White's residence for the purpose of removing White's belongings
from his home. The two men cleared out the place, as per White's
request. Among the items stored at White's residence were some boxes of
documents, most of them the property of Stew Webb, which White had agreed to
keep in storage for Webb. Among these documents was incriminating
evidence in relation to the criminal activities of a number of individuals;
some of whom were current and former government officials. Many of the
documents belonging to Webb were returned to him by Hall; some stored
at Halls' residence for eventual return to White, pending his release from prison.

Apparently, the criminals responsible for the attempted murder of Mike,
thought Mike had some of the documents in his possession, a belief
which turned out to be false. But it was clear from what Hall and others
told me that they had been placed under heavy surveillance, shortly after
White's arrest. According to Webb, some of the documents are to be used
as evidence in a grand jury investigation. Since I don't have enough
information about this grand jury filing, I will decline to comment on
it. For more information, please contact Stew Webb or see the legal
papers filed by Stew, which have been posted by him on the message board at
American Patriot Friends Network.

MICKEY MOUSE METHODOLOGY

But now let's move on to one of the bit players, also residing in
Denver, also caught up in the web: The infamous Doreen Bishop. As you may
recall from my last report, Doreen is the former 'mousketeer' of Disney
fame; the tireless crusader for 'medical marijuana'; the bosom pal of
Gale Norton and lest we forget, described by Al Martin as "the notorious
political gadfly".... forgive my repetition of that phrase, but it just
has such a nice ring to it, I couldn't resist quoting it again.

Well, it now seems that good old Doreen thinks she has some personal
business with me. Recently, I was told by a mutual acqauintance of myself
and Doreen that Doreen was anxious to talk to me, supposedly because
she wanted to 'compare notes' about some of the players in this little
drama.   Now, I have never met Doreen; never had any contact with her;
nor do I have any desire to change the status quo. So I politely declined
her offer, through our mutual acquaintance. As for comparing notes with
Doreen, considering her shameful track record with regard to spreading
disinformation, I thought I'd pass on contaminating my life any further
by making contact with yet another tiresome troublemaker and
provocateur. Surely, if this was Doreen's attempt to set me up, as she has earned
a reputation for having done with countless others, she needs to adjust
her sites considerably lower, since she's clearly way out of her league.

But strangely enough, a phone call was made to my private, unlisted
number from Doreen Bishop only a few days later. Stranger still, it
appears that Doreen had meant to call another party, but had somehow
--surprise, surprise-- ended up calling me. I  never --but never-- pick up my
phone, but screen all calls through a machine. Imagine my surprise when
I heard the oily tones of Doreen's voice, just oozing phony charm, delivering
her message of good will and slick public relations: A message which was
quite clearly meant for someone other than myself. Wrong number, Doreen.

Her message was in regard to an order of Al Martin's books which she
said she was so happy to have  received, in the apparent belief that she
had reached the distributor for these books. Doreen waxed poetic about
what a "do-gooder" she was; about the need to get these books out to
schools; about how "we need to be volunteers, not victims". The necessity
of promoting Al Martin himself, not just his book. And she ended her
spiel with her heartfelt wishes for the happiest holidays.

Now oddly enough, it is clear that some of Doreen's relatives,
including her cousin, media whore Tom Brokaw, the Pearlmutter family and the
William Morris Agency, were involved in some of the very same political
scandals and corruption which Al Martin exposes in his articles and
book. Could it be possible that Doreen's agenda is to buy up all the books
she can, at the behest of her scheming relatives and dark overlords,
just to keep them out of circulation ? Well, being the "do-gooder"  she
is, I can buy that.... yeah, that works for me. As to being a
"volunteer, not a victim" I think Doreen is most probably a victim of nothing
much other than her own stupidity.

But I'll give her this much: I wholeheartedly agree about the 'medical
marijuana' issue...how DARE these criminals continue to run black
market marijuana, while making it a criminal offense for any of the rest of
us to smoke a joint, for 'medical' purposes, or otherwise ?  Good for
you, Doreen ! Keep on lobbying.....
 

THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY: CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

Now I need to address another issue which looms large in the scheme of
things, at least for me. That is my right to privacy and what should be
my reasonable expectation to have my CONFIDENTIAL disclosures to others
respected by those individuals with whom I have chosen to share them.

As I mentioned in a recent article, just because I have chosen to make
my case as a survivor of CIA mind control and covert operations --as
well as some of my research on these topics-- public, does NOT necessarily
mean that my whole life must become an open book for all and sundry
to peruse and scavenge through. I have the right to privacy in my personal life
and anyone who does not respect that is commiting a serious transgression.

I have certainly made the mistake, more than once, of taking into my
confidence individuals who did not respect my privacy; nor the confidences
I may have been foolish enough to share, in my mistaken belief that those
people could be trusted, as per their word to me, to keep confidential information
as just that: CONFIDENTIAL. Certainly it was my own mistake to talk to the
wrong people about sensitive information. However, responsibility for the lack
of integrity shown by those individuals who refuse to respect the confidentiality
of others, falls squarely on their own shoulders. Yes, I made the mistake of
trusting some of the wrong people, but they are still accountable for their own
actions in violating my trust or for engaging in unconscionable meddling in
my personal and professional business.

It is one thing for someone to read published material I have written
and then make their own public commentary in reference to that material.
Because the information was made public, it is certainly fair game, and
others are entitled to express their opinions publicly. That's what
freedom of speech is supposed to be about. I fully expect that there will
be a wide range of responses and opinions to any information or articles
which are controversial in nature, whether written by me or anyone else.

It is quite another thing to take ANY information --sensitive or not--
which was given IN CONFIDENCE and then just dump it indiscriminately on
a website: especially things that are nobody's business but my own and
which were not meant for public consumption. This behavior is
unethical, disrespectful and manipulative. And speaking strictly for myself, I
refuse to tolerate such transgressions. No one has the right to
interfere with me in any way. I've had my fill of interference by the
government and their toadies; I certainly don't need any more interference from
private citizens; self-appointed busybodies and amateur sleuths who
apparently have nothing more important to occupy their time.

Being a straight arrow, I always confront people directly and tell them
when they have crossed my personal boundaries.  If a person refuses to
heed my warnings and continues to engage in this inappropriate and
disrespectful behavior, the only course of action I can legally and
ethically take is to publicly expose this behavior in order to protect myself
and in an attempt to stop the spreading of damaging misinformation.

RANGER RICK: THE FIFTH HORSEMAN

One particular individual who has been engaging in these tactics has
now crossed way over my line. Although she was warned, more than once, in
a polite, respectful and considerate manner, she continued overstepping
her bounds; engaging in outrageously intrusive behavior which would try
the patience of a saint. And I have never claimed to be a saint.

 'Ace G-man Ranger Rick' as she has publicly touted herself, on her own
website, The Fifth Horseman, and on various others, is certainly not a
'G-man'. Is not and never has been. She is not --nor has ever been--
any sort of 'spook', another label she has adopted to describe herself.
Furthermore, she has no background or training as an intelligence
operative, which she openly admitted to me and certain others. Having no
training, she knows nothing about 'tradecraft' another catch phrase which
is continually bandied about on her website. A person who knows
tradecraft does not vociferously boast about it.

Why she feels the need to pose as someone she is not, and to hide
behind a hokey alias such as Ranger Rick, while claiming to 'expose' the
alleged wrongdoing; corruption and 'disinformation' of other individuals,
dropping THEIR REAL NAMES, while never revealing her own, is anyone's
guess. All I can say is, in assessing these allegations: Consider the source.

Of late, she has targeted Al Martin, her erstwhile "hero"; now publicly
speculating that he is about to "take a suitcase". She also boasted in
a commentary on her site ( Friday, Dec. 21) that YOU HEARD IT HERE
FIRST. And that.... We (as if there were more than one of her ? ) are the
ONLY ones to dare to publicly expose Al Martin.

According to Ranger Rick, Al was about to 'join Chip Tatum and Les
Coleman' ( neither of whom she has ever met) in taking a bribe from the
government and retire to some tropical island. Yet again, her
allegations-- stated AS IF they were verifiable fact-- re Tatum and Colemen are
nothing but unsubstantiated hearsay. Sure, there are plenty of rumors
going around. There were also rumors that Chip Tatum had been terminated.
The last time I saw Chip Tatum, in February of 1998, he told me he was
leaving the country and that I would never see him again. He even urged
me to leave as well, knowing as he did that my fate might not be
fortunate if I stayed. But I do not KNOW for sure what happened to Chip Tatum
and I refuse to publicly speculate. And I KNEW the man, had publicly
lectured with him on CIA black operations and spent many hours exchanging
information. But I don't claim to know for sure whether he 'took a suitcase'.

It seems to be important to Ranger Rick that she is given credit for
her "honesty" --which she repeatedly touts-- in trashing Al Martin's
reputation. A man she apparently knows very little about; has never met in
person; and by her own admission, has had only limited contact by phone
with over the past few months. She has accused him of being a liar; a
bogus whistleblower; a disinformation specialist. Now he is accused of
getting ready to "take a suitcase". Yet she herself is posing as an "Ace
G-man" ; a "spook". She has spread much disinformation on her own
website, and I know this for a fact, since some of it had to do with me and
my own investigations. Incredible !

 Yes, I did make the mistake of sharing certain sensitive personal
information, at Ranger Rick's request; and I did so in good faith, since
she said her only motive was to help me. But after my trust and
confidence was violated repeatedly, I realized that anything I told her was
likely to end up splashed across her website, accompanied by her uninformed
surmises and personal interpretations of my activities and those of my
contacts and associates. As a result, a lot of damage has ensued for me
and others connected to me, both personally and professionally.

She told me herself that she had done no research on mind control or
MKULTRA. Yet, she throws out the terminology and buzzwords as if they
were about to go out of style. She talks about getting DEEP on her site;
yet  her lack of knowledge of so-called 'deep black' projects is quite
apparent to anyone who was actually involved or who has done the serious
research, including myself.

In my opinion, the individual who bills herself as 'Ranger Rick' needs
to learn to respect the privacy and personal boundaries of others;
stick to what she knows about from her own research or personal experience
and to mind her own business. If she fancies herself as some sort of
crusader against corruption and injustice; if she imagines herself to be
functioning as some de facto intelligence operative; that's her
business, I suppose. But I and others have had to wonder under what possible
justification she could have appointed herself to police and judge the
lives of others, including people she barely knows or knows not at all.

Since I do not violate the confidence or privacy of others, even if
they violate mine, I am confining my commentary to those public issues
which have already been raised and in which I myself am involved. I also
have no desire to waste my time by allowing myself to become embroiled
in a mud-slinging debacle. My only purpose is to defend myself and to
stop more misinformation from being spread; to stop my personal privacy
from being further violated; to stop my serious investigations from
being further compromised by amateurs who shoot their mouths off the minute
they get hold of any information, however tenuous and unsubstantiated;
or get wind of the latest gossip.

Yes, I'm mad as hell, and with good reason. Yes, I have the temper of a
hellcat when someone interferes with me. When someone begins
interfering in MY personal and professional business, especially while publicly
misrepresenting herself as someone she is not, inferring that she is
some sort of 'insider' with credentials and bona fides; pretending to have
information and knowledge she does not possess, then I have a problem.
A big problem.

 Unfortunatley, much of the misinformation which has been spread via
Ranger Rick concerned my investigation and involvement in the so-called
Denver Connection and my past and present dealings with certain
individuals also involved. It is important to make it clear that this woman was
NOT personally involved in any way with the specific issues I have thus
far raised; nor did she have any real firsthand knowledge of some of
the issues or persons whose names were dumped on her website; except as
told to her by me --much of which was told in confidence.

In connection with some of the names she dropped on this website, she
engaged in what I can only call wild speculation; jumping to conclusions
based on nothing more than hearsay and her own uninformed conjecture.
She added to the mix corny little 'coded messages' to various
individuals connected to me, whom she did not even know.

 For reasons I cannot fathom (except perhaps delusional fantasies of
her own importance) this woman also seemed to think it was her
prerogative to tell me whom I 'should' --and 'should not'--be associating with;
what areas of investigation I 'should' --and 'should not' be pursuing;
what was and was not a 'waste of my time'. I have no idea why she
thought she had the right to meddle so flagrantly in my business. All I can
say is that she chose the wrong woman to meddle with, namely myself.

But she did not stop there. Ranger Rick also apparently did not think
it was inappropriate to interfere in my personal and professional
contacts with other individuals -- as usual, some were people she did not
even know-- by writing intrusive, disrespectful and rude e-mail messages,
dropping my name into the mix; telling these individuals what they
'should be' doing; how they 'should be' running their lives; trying to
interfere in their dealings with me. All this, while employing the
tough-guy John Wayne Act, addressing strangers as 'Pilgrim' and other such
nonsense, and even making veiled threats about how nobody survives a mole
hunt by The Fifth Horseman; and how we ( she always used the plural
pronoun) eat bad guys ( dropping some names for good measure) for breakfast.

This woman is a phony, plain and simple. At first I believed she was
sincerely trying to do the right  thing; though her methods were
amateurish, abrasive, crude and bumbling. But the truth is that such intrusive,
manipulative behavior, all the while cloaked under her claims of
brutal 'honesty'  and 'integrity' ;presumably used as a cover for shooting
her mouth off in reference to things she knows virtually nothing about;
is simply unacceptable and worse, unconscionable. It is the behavior of
a provocateur. And the results of this behavior have certainly been
less than fortunate for anyone whom she has decided to set her sights on;
those whose lives she has apparently felt compelled to intrude upon.

So just for the record, I have distanced myself from any association
with this woman. And if Ranger Rick now sees fit to start publicly
trashing me and openly (instead of the veiled insinuations I've recently seen
posted on her site) accusing me of being a 'disinformation agent';
still under control by CIA, or God only knows what else; just as she has
done with Al Martin and others, I can only hope that people will use
their own discernment, some common sense; and once again, please:
Consider the source.
