Foreword

Unbelievable as it would seem, Tim White is still on the loose...harassing, stalking, threatening the lives of targets. His libel and slander of targets is more prolific than ever, and may be found on numerous message boards and websites all over the World Wide Web.

In fact, White has more accomplices than ever before: those who support and/or defend and/or promote him (including his libelous and defamatory writings and malicious lies, some of which are disseminated as gossip and slander); and/or are using him to do their dirty work in targeting legitimate whistleblowers and journalists.

Some of the accomplices of Timothy Patrick White (only a partial list): Ken Adachi; Pam Schuffert; Ted Gunderson; John DeCamp; Todd Brendan Fahey; Brenda Negri; Larry Lawson; Charles Bruce Stewart; "Xena Carpenter" (identity unknown); Francine Kelly; James Rothstein; Mark Hostlaw; Marilyn Guinnane; Don Nicoloff; Craig Oxley; Eric Phelps; Aaron James.

For those who may have been reading the outrageous lies disseminated by White and his cohorts, but who have yet to learn the real story, the unvarnished truth about Timothy Patrick White, here it is. This comprehensive summary was written in 2003.

A TRUE (BUT STRANGER-THAN-FICTION) CRIME CASE: TIM WHITE, THE CROSS-DRESSING CONSPIRACY THEORIST

He deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:14-19

I first learned of a very strange and sinister character named Tim White in August 2001. Mr. White is a study in aberrant psychology and sexual perversion. He is also a convicted felon, now on probation in Denver Colorado.

But White's REAL claim to notoriety is promoting outlandish conspiracy theories.
In accordance with these conspiracy theories, White adamantly claims that I still work for CIA; that I have been deployed to spy on him --and that the Agency has deemed him a threat to "National Security". As a result of his bizarre beliefs, Mr. White has targeted me for criminal harassment; libel; slander; and even death threats, for all of which I have documented evidence and numerous witnesses.

My reason for writing this report is that I am damn sick and tired of this criminal pervert and his interference in my personal and professional business. I have done nothing whatsoever of a wrongful or unlawful nature that could possibly justify Tim White's continuous malicious harassment of me. I am no longer working for CIA. And any well informed and reasonable person would be hard pressed to understand why on earth CIA would waste its time or resources to deploy a high-level operative (such as the one I used to be) to target an inconsequential amateur like White.

In fact, White does not know me and has never met me. But due to the serious damages I have incurred, resulting from White's strange fixation on me, I have every intention of putting Mr. White and his co-conspirators out of business --at least out of the business of harassing me, my friends, professional colleagues and family members.

As all of us who have been targeted by him agree, Mr. White is a man who needs to learn to MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS and to respect the personal boundaries of others. If he wants to promote his wild conspiracy theories, fine --as long as he does so without invading the privacy of innocent people. But apparently he will have to learn the hard way. Because I have no doubt there will be some very unpleasant consequences for his relentless, unconscionable interference and his meddling in situations which are NONE of his business. It's called CRIMINAL HARASSMENT and I intend to see to it that Mr. White is prosecuted for his crimes to the fullest extent of the law.

If Mr. White feels it necessary to take on CIA, because he is deluded into believing they are out to get him, then perhaps he should seek treatment for his mental illness. But one way or another, I will make it my business to get him off MY case.

Tim White (unfortunately for those of us he has targeted for harassment) is now on the Internet. So recently a new dimension has been added to his harassment of me, my family, friends and colleagues: White is now writing and publishing outrageous lies about Barbara Hartwell, in the form of libelous disinformation, which is being posted on various websites and message boards.

WHITE'S COHORTS & PARTNERS IN CRIME

Some of Mr. White's cowardly, unscrupulous cohorts, all of whom are pathological liars and sowers of discord, just like White, need to be named here as well. They have joined forces with White with the malicious intent to continue their libel, slander and criminal harassment campaign against myself and others.

All of these individuals, at one time or another, have endorsed Tim White; his character and his so-called "credibility". They have also aided and abetted his criminal activities by providing a platform, a public forum for Mr. White to promote his libel and slander of those whom White has targeted.

Read on...you will soon see precisely the type of immoral and criminal activities for which these individuals have given their support and endorsement; and for which they have expressed their wholehearted approval.

For quick reference here are the names of some of White's co-conspirators.

Brenda M. Negri: Los Angeles, CA
Larry Lawson: Indiana
Shirley Anderson: North Dakota
Charles Bruce Stewart: Oregon
Ted L. Gunderson: Las Vegas, Nevada

Remember these names: You will be seeing them again, later in this report and in future reports which will give more detail about these unsavory characters; their involvement with Tim White and their criminal harassment of myself and others. In this particular report however, the focus will remain squarely on Tim White.

Before I get into the truly bizarre circumstances of my introduction to Tim White, here are some facts which will tell you a little about who he is and some of what he has been involved in.

OFFICIAL COURT RECORDS ON TIM WHITE

Since I have right here in front of me some hardcopy documents from government agencies in Denver, Colorado, I may as well start by quoting directly from one of the reports. As I always say, there's nothing like hard evidence from government documents to establish the veracity of a case.

Document: Denver Sheriff Department, Temporary Restraining Order Information
Defendent: Timothy Patrick White
D.O.B. 5-3-47
Race: White
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 175
Hair: Grey with pony tail
Eyes: Blue
Other distinguishing marks: Facial pox and body scars
Defendant has outstanding warrants: On Probation
Defendant may have weapons on him or at premises
Defendant uses drugs
Other Information: Cross dresses & looks like female sometimes

A copy of this report from the Sheriff Department, along with other documents, was given to me by the plaintiff, Doreen Bishop of Denver Colorado, who was granted a restraining order against White in July 2002, after being stalked, harassed and repeatedly threatened by Tim White.
Tim White is a transvestite; a sexual pervert; a collector of pornography (including child pornography); a large wardrobe of sleazy women's clothing, the type of attire worn by female prostitutes; and sex gadgets.

He is also a convicted felon (now deemed by the legal system a "predicate felon").
White was arrested in August 2001 and convicted of drug possession/trafficking.

PORNOGRAPHIC PARAPHERNALIA GALORE

After his arrest, the police found a back room in the warehouse where he was living, which was chock-full of all the vile pornographic paraphernalia I have described. The most incriminating evidence found was a collection of magazines to which White had a subscription. The name of the magazine was "J.I.C." In this loathsome publication are pornographic pictures of children. A sort of I.D. number is attached to each child's picture; as well as ads stating that subscribers can order up these children by number as prostitutes!

Child pornography and prostitution are felonies. In my opinion, these are also crimes against nature, against God and humanity. The fact that Mr. White would actually subscribe to such a publication and the fact that he is a collector of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY speaks volumes about White's particularly malignant form of psychopathology; as well as the loathsome nature of his character. Mr. White, it is clear from this evidence alone, is the lowest scum of the earth. Tim White claims to be a "born again Christian". But these are the type of "Christian" morals I think we would all be better off without.

"CHRISTIAN" SUPPORTERS OF THE "HEROIC" TIM WHITE

Now let's hear what one of White's staunch defenders and supporters, Charles Bruce Stewart, founder of The Christian Common Law organization in Oregon, has to say about Tim White. This statement was published by Larry Lawson, another alleged "Christian Patriot" and weird conspiracy theorist, on his Larry Lawson News yahoo message board.

Charles Bruce Stewart wrote:

"Pamela & Will Gaston are long time & Heroic Family-Rights & Juridicial-Accountability Activists. The same goes for Shriley Anderson, Tim White, & Larry Lawson; who have all recently done cutting-edge work in exposing CIA-MK-Ultra Mind-Control Puppet & False-Patriot Barbra Hartwerll. Leonard Hendrson has done much "behind the scenes" work to promote these & other Family Rights Activists, by doing web-page & other work for them.
cbs ... "

The fact that Charles Stewart is a pompous windbag (who definitely needs some help with his spelling) and an ignoramus who consistently writes and speaks about issues of which he knows nothing, has been made evident by the many fallacious comments he has written about Barbara Hartwell and others (such as my friend and professional colleague ex-FBI agent Geral Sosbee) whom he has targeted for his inane rantings. (Stewart's libelous writings will be addressed in detail in an upcoming report.)

But Stewart's foolishness and ignorance notwithstanding, the readers of his nonsense might want to consider that Stewart's ideas of "Family Rights Activism" and "Judicial Accountability" are strange ones indeed.

Stewart deems Tim White (a user of pornography; drugs and, at the very least, an ENABLER of the abuse and exploitation of children by his financial support of subscribing to child pornography; and a crime to be in possession of such) to be a "heroic" activist.

"HEROIC"???

If THIS is "heroism" in Mr. Stewart's book, I have to wonder what he's been smoking. Or maybe it's just a simple case of stupidity. And although I don't know Pamela and Will Gaston personally, I will say that based on their writings, they seem to be sincere and legitimate people; patriots and defenders of the Constitution. In fact, I have posted some of their articles on my website.
I will not presume to speak for the Gastons. However, I doubt that if they knew the TRUTH about Tim White, that they would appreciate being placed in the same category with White, as per Mr. Stewart's assessment, in his unqualified endorsement of Tim White's character and activities .

Apparently, based only on his malice toward me, Stewart would jump at the chance to promote ANYONE who would attempt to discredit Barbara Hartwell, regardless of their character flaws and/or psychopathology and to label such individuals as Tim White, Shirley Anderson and Larry Lawson "heroic" --if only because these misguided individuals have teamed up in their libel campaign against Barbara Hartwell. Shame on you, Mr. Stewart.

CRIMINAL CONSPIRACIES & CORRUPTION IN DENVER

But anyway, back to the evidence of Tim White's criminal activities. Despite finding this evidence that White is a subscriber to a criminal publication containing child pornography, he was never charged by the police with this offense. And as you read on, you will see other such evidence that law enforcement officials involved in this case allowed White to continue some of his criminal activities with impunity, including his stalking of Denver resident Doreen Bishop and phone harassment of a number of other individuals, including Barbara Hartwell.

After his conviction on the drug bust, White was incarcerated in more than one penal institution, one of which was a psychiatric facility.

In mid August 2001, one day before the arrest, I was contacted by an associate of Mr. White, who was using the pseudonym "Tim Hall". I did not know Mr. Hall at the time of his first contact with me. Mr. Hall had sent me an e-mail message, explaining that an "associate" of his, a man named Tim White of Denver, had "important information" for me.

As I later learned, Hall's real name is Daryl Sturgis; Tim Hall aka Daryl Sturgis is retired from 22 years military service; Special Forces, Army Rangers; C.I.D. and was utilized as a Manchurian Candidate assassin in Operation Phoenix under the command of General John K. Singlaub. I know this because I eventually debriefed Daryl Sturgis myself, although he was using the name Tim Hall at the time.

(Note: I was utilized by CIA in Psychological Operations; trained in psychological profiling and in debriefing of military and intelligence personnel.)

I also learned from several reliable witnesses that Tim White had been carrying and using false identification for this same Daryl Sturgis, along with a picture of himself (Tim White) attatched to the I.D., replacing the picture of Sturgis. The I.D. came from the U.S. Army, where Daryl Sturgis had served, including during the Vietnam era. Tim White may have served in another branch of the military, but never in the U.S. Army.

But back to the "important information" which Hall said White had for me. It turned out to be a pack of lies, which Tim White, in collusion with others, had apparently been spreading around for quite some time before he attempted to contact me: That a man named Jeff Swedenburg had threatened to kill Barbara Hartwell; and that Swedenburg was a contract agent (assassin) for CIA.

In fact, I had heard the same story earlier that year (2001) from two other individuals named Kurt and Lee Ann Billings. But as I later learned, the entire story was false: Jeff Swedenburg is NOT a "CIA assassin" as claimed by the Billings and by Tim White. Nor did he have any intention of harming me, much less had he threatened to kill me.

I know this because I investigated Swedenburg myself and actually confronted him with this fallacious story, shortly after it was relayed by Tim White, by asking Jeff if he in fact had any business with me. I subsequently became friends with Jeff and even came to trust him with my life; as evidenced by the fact that he served as my bodyguard on a trip around the country last summer. Ironic, to say the least, after all the lies told about Jeff by Tim White and others.

Would I trust a "CIA assassin" who had threatened to kill me, with my life? Not likely, especially since I've known a few CIA assassins in the course of my dealings with the Agency.

In early 2002, Tim White was placed on probation and released from prison. By that time I had written several articles about the bogus death threat, and the criminal conspiracy which spawned it, some of which named Tim White as a primary source for this false information about Jeff Swedenburg, and which outlined White's ties to several corrupt current and former law-enforcement persons, including Denver Sheriff Department officials Tom Fischer and Lloyd Swint; FBI agent Mark Hostlaw and retired FBI Senior Special Agent in Charge, Ted L. Gunderson.

Gunderson (originally from the Denver area) had been a professional associate and friend of mine between 1997 and 2000. I broke off my association with Gunderson in 2000, due to serious disagreements and irreconcilable differences, when I learned that he was involved in COINTELPRO-style operations which certainly did not have my best interests at heart. I later got hold of documents, evidence of Tim White's illegal dealings with Gunderson, which came from the files of Stew Webb.

I had never had any direct contact with Tim White; not even by e-mail or phone. But shortly after White's release from prison he began to make phone calls to associates of mine, claiming that it was a matter of utmost urgency that he be put in contact with me.

Given the false information of the "death threat" being spread about by White; his dealings with corrupt law enforcement officials in Denver who had targeted me personally for persecution; and due to what I had learned about White from my own investigations and from people I deemed credible witnesses, I wanted nothing to do with him. But White was persistent, and kept pestering my associates to get me to call him. My associates described him as a real nuisance, citing him also as a "nutcase". Some even begged me to talk to him, if only to get him off their backs.

Finally, I decided to talk to White, if only because he kept insisting that the information I had written about him was FALSE. I thought it would be only fair to hear his side of the story and give him the benefit of the doubt. This is precisley what I told Tim White when I first agreed to speak with him.

But as I soon realized, talking to White --and especially giving him my unlisted phone number-- was a big mistake. I had a few phone conversations with White, in which he explained to me that he wanted me to publish THE TRUTH about him, and retract all of what he called "the lies" and "slander" in my articles.

But clearly, Tim White had another agenda, one which certainly did not involve THE TRUTH. His agenda became clear when instead of addressing the issues, he immediately began to fill my ears with slanderous stories about Jeff Swedenburg; Federal Whistleblower Stew Webb; Iran Contra Whistleblower and ex-ONI officer Al Martin and others, all of whom I was in contact with on a regular basis and all of whom had been instrumental in furnishing information and testimony for my investigations.

I explained to White that I was NOT required to be a PR agent for him, and that I had no reason to believe the slanderous stories he told me about these individuals. Mr. White had NO credentials, NO bona fides that he could offer in support of his credibility. He offered NO facts which could be substantiated; NO evidence...only the slanderous stories he repeatedly told, all of which I know to be lies, told with malicious intent by Mr. White, in what was clearly a desperate attempt to bolster his own credibility and cover up the criminal activities of corrupt government officials, at the expense of the individuals he was slandering.

As far as I could see, Tim White was nothing more than a delusional 'wannabe', a rank amateur; and would-be sleuth, who attempted to form associations with legitimate whistleblowers and survivors of gov't black operations; a sort of male version of Brenda Negri. He actually envied those of us such as myself and Jeff Swedenburg, who are legitimate survivors of black operations. But as any one of us with a REAL background can attest, no one in his right mind would ever ENVY having been involved in the world of horror, death and dirty dealings which comprises these covert operations.

As I heard from more than one witness, just like his cohort Brenda Negri, Tim White desperately wanted to be a "player"; but over the course of time, found himself in way over his head, which eventually led to his arrest and to making some kind of "deal" with corrupt government officials whose only purpose was to exploit him: to send him out to scavenge information and then inform on his friends and associates. In other words, a government dupe; a stooge; a low-level fed snitch.

In fact, Tim White admitted to talk show host Dennis Bossack, who sponsors my weekly program on DNA Live Radio, that he had "made a deal" with the Feds after his arrest, and explained that he "had no choice" in the matter. White was also harassing Bossack by phone, in attempts to discredit myself and other legitimate whistleblowers, whose activism was exposing corrupt law enforcement and intelligence operations in Denver and elsewhere.

The first time I talked to Tim White, I had asked him to send me his testimony in writing, addressing those statements made in my written reports with which he took issue. I explained that the best I could do for him was to publish some of his testimony in his own words; and that I could not be expected to endorse HIS version of events, as his story was in serious conflict with the truth as I knew it; as I had investigated it; and as it had been related to me by credible witnesses and trustworthy sources.

I am a professional investigative journalist. When I write my articles, I deal with facts; solid evidence and the testimony of credible witnesses; NOT with wild speculation; bizarre conspiracy theories and malicious gossip of the type that White was relating to me.

White never sent me the written material I requested. But he soon started harassing me by telephone at all hours of the day and night, demanding that I remove the articles containing his name from my website. He left long-winded messages on my answering machine, mostly abusive tirades and hysterical ranting about Jeff Swedenburg, Stew Webb, Al Martin and others.

White then threatened to sue me for libel; he escalated his harassment by calling me abusive and obscene names; said he KNEW I still worked for CIA; that I was "protecting" Jeff Swedenburg, whom he referred to at different times as my "buddy" or "sweetheart", as well as "that scumbag" and other epithets. White also claimed that he KNEW I had a "long history" with Swedenburg, connected to CIA, and that we were both being "protected" by "The Fourth Reich".

But White knew NOTHING about me which was REAL or TRUE. By this time, it was clear to me that White was clinically paranoid; delusional or both. In point of fact, I had never even MET Jeff Swedenburg until January of 2002 when I made a trip to Denver in connection with my investigation of the death threats and criminal conspiracy by corrupt law enforcement and intelligence personnel. My first contact with Jeff, by e-mail, was in September 2001. So much for Tim White's conspiracy theory of my "long history" with Jeff Swedenburg.......

As for CIA, I removed myself from their operations, ONCE AND FOR ALL in 1994. And if there is a "Fourth Reich", I can't imagine why they would want to "protect" me, since I stand against fascism and am a staunch defender of the Constitution. And I know the same to be true of Jeff Swedenburg, who by the way, NEVER worked for CIA.

These numerous ranting, harassing messages from White were left on my answering machine, all of which I saved on tape. After the first few phone conversations, and when he failed to send me his written testimony, as promised, I refused to speak to him again.

Although Tim White's bizarre conspiracy theories, especially about Barbara Hartwell, are laughable to say the least, I certainly am NOT amused by his relentless harassment. Nor was my son, Keith Maximilian Hartwell, who also heard some of White's bizarre comments and obscene insults about his mother. After hearing some of White's rantings on the answering machine, my son said that "this nutcase from Colorado" had better hope never to run into K.M. Hartwell, as this "sleazebag" would take serious consequences for his criminal harassment. My son is twenty seven years old; six foot one; built like a tank; trained in martial arts....and has ZERO tolerance for anyone who would threaten his mother.

Be that as it may, Keith is just one of several witnesses willing to testify to Tim White's unconscionable and criminal harassment of me.

At one point, I asked a friend and professional colleague, ex-FBI agent; former prosecutor and judge; Vietnam vet and attorney (licensed in the state of Texas) Geral Sosbee to make a call to White to warn him to cease and desist from his harassing phone calls to me. Geral made the call as a friend and advocate on my behalf, NOT as my attorney. Tim White disregarded the warning and then actually began to harass Geral, as he had done to many others. Nor did the warning stop White's harassing calls to me.

And so it went, with telephone harassment by Tim White escalating on a weekly basis. But I was not the only one being harassed by White. A number of other witnesses testified to the fact that White was also making harassing telephone calls to them. Included in White's targets for harassment were Al Martin; Stew Webb; Jeff Swedenburg; Doreen Bishop; Rayelan Allan; ex-military (retired from DoD) Jon Morrow; and others who wish to remain anonymous. These people ALL told me that they were actually thinking of changing their phone numbers, because it seemed the ONLY way to stop the harassment from Tim White. I too considered changing my phone number and in fact I plan to do so, since White also gave out my number to several of his nutcase cohorts.

When I called a Mr. Scott Pendergast, White's Probation Officer in Denver, to report the harassment, which was also a violation of the terms of White's probation, I never received a return call. Several others who had tried to make formal complaints against White also received the same treatment: Their calls were not returned and their complaints were simply ignored. And I had to ask myself, as had others: Why?

WHITE'S CRIMINAL HARASSMENT & STALKING OF DOREEN BISHOP

In the spring of 2002, I got a phone call from Doreen Bishop. This was the first contact I had with Doreen, though I had come across her name in my investigations, in connection with the infamous Mr. White. I was also familiar with some of Doreen's personal history. She had been one of the 'mousketeers' from Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Club; I'd heard of her activism as a lobbyist for medical marijuana; and her involvement with certain politicians and financiers, such as former Denver mayor Gale Norton; mind-controlled actor and propagandist for the NWO, Woody Harrelson; and notorious NWO/ shadow government player George Soros.

Doreen explained that she had a brief sexual relationship with Tim White, but after he was arrested, she said she broke off the affair.

When White was released from prison, he began to stalk Doreen, though she had told him the relationship was over and she wanted nothing more to do with him. Doreen called me on the advice of Al Martin, who told her he thought I might be willing to help her, as he knew I had investigated some of the criminal activities of Tim White in connection with the death threats and White's harassment of me personally.

When I heard Doreen's story, I felt sorry for her, as she was clearly distraught; intimidated by White; and was frightened by his stalking and phone harassment. So I told her I would further investigate the case and help in any way I could. I even spoke to Doreen's attorney, a Mr. Warren Edson, who told me that he was baffled by the fact that the police were NOT doing their job in protecting Doreen from White.

As it happened, Doreen Bishop was later hospitialized after suffering a stroke in the spring of 2002, and as she told me she believed, the stroke may well have been a result of the extreme stress of the unrelenting harassment by Tim White.

Those who have been harassed by White can testify that the numerous abusive phone calls are enough to raise anyone's blood pressure and cause stress-related damage, especially if one suffers from chronic illness which can be exacerbated by stress, as was certainly the case with Doreen Bishop.

Doreen told me in phone conversations that White was not only making harassing phone calls daily, but would often show up at her door, demanding to be let in. I asked Doreen if she had called the police to have him removed. She said that she had called the police numerous times, but that they never made an arrest. By the time the cops showed up, White was usually gone, and the police, instead of enforcing the law and protecting Doreen from further stalking, just told her not to worry and said White was "harmless". As if White were a fly to be merely shooed away.....

Once again, it appeared that Tim White was actually being protected by the police. But why? Why would a predicate felon; on probation; engaged in stalking and harassment of a woman, be allowed to continue his activities with impunity, never suffering the legal consequences of his criminal actions?

Why wasn't White arrested?

Why was he not sent back to jail for violations of probation?

Doreen also told me that White showed up at her house in different rental cars, all late model vehicles. Who was footing the bill for these rental cars? When White came out of prison, he had no job; no money; not even a place to live, as he had been evicted from the warehouse after the arrest.

For that matter, who was paying for White's enormous phone bills? How did Tim White manage to make numerous hours-long phone calls from Denver, to locations around the country, while being unemployed and having no legitimate source of income?

But it gets worse, much worse.....

I had previously advised Doreen to call the police station and demand to speak to the watch commander or the highest authority in charge. I told her to INSIST that the officers sent out on these calls, when White was stalking Doreen at her home, DO THEIR JOB, and arrest White for stalking and criminal harassment. Still, despite her insistence on being protected from White; despite numerous incidents of stalking in which White showed up to terrorize Doreen at her home, NOTHING was ever done to apprehend White nor to protect Doreen Bishop.

One morning I got a phone call from Doreen. She was crying, telling me that White's car had just pulled up across the street and that White was heading for the door of her house. I told Doreen to call the police right away and to call me back to let me know what happened, that I would act as her witness. Doreen said she called me because she had gotten no results whatsoever from the police. Being 2,000 miles away, there was little I could do. But evidently, being a witness was effective in this case, given the fact the my phone lines had been under illegal surveillance for quite some time by the same corrupt Feds who were using Tim White as their little snitch and dupe.

What happened was this: White came up to the door and began banging to be let in. Doreen did not open the door. White then made a threat against Doreen and also against myself, shouting through the door, calling me "Hartwell, that CIA bitch !" and threatening my life, claiming that CIA had sent me to "take him down" but that he would "take out that bitch" himself. White blamed me for his problems with Doreen and accused me of a multitude of sins. He also referred to himself as "The Rhino" and "The Phantom"....perhaps assigning himself code names to enhance his delusions of being some kind of government operative?

This time, no police car showed up at Doreen's house. Instead, Doreen saw a white unmarked car with government plates pull up across the street, shortly after she got off the phone with me. Seeing the car, White fled the scene, jumped into his car and peeled out of the street. The government car followed in hot pursuit.

Does it sound like there is something wrong with this picture?

But wait, there's more.....

Tim White had also tried to extort money from Stew Webb, as White had been storing some boxes of documents belonging to Stew at the warehouse where White was living before his arrest. Two men, Daryl Sturgis (aka Tim Hall) and Mike Floyd were asked by White to retrieve the documents and other possessions from the warehouse after his arrest.

These men both told me that is when they had found the back room in White's living quarters, filled with all the pornographic paraphernalia --a room White had not allowed anyone to enter when he had in the past been holding meetings for "patriots" at his home. Hall and Floyd said that instead of saving the pornographic materials, as per White's request about all his belongings, they threw some of it in dumpsters and burned the rest. I can't say I blame them. Having a loathing of pornography, I would have done the same thing.

The documents being stored by White for Stew Webb comprised evidence for a Grand Jury Investigation into government corruption; money laundering and CIA illegal covert operations, filed by Stew Webb, in which I was to be one of the witnesses. Much of the incriminating evidence implicated ex-FBI agent Ted L. Gunderson, who, along with his sidekick Doug Millar, had been using White as one of his snitches and dupes in his COINTELPRO-style operations.
One of the men, Mike Floyd, later had an attempt made on his life because someone apparently thought he had posession of the incriminating documents. His truck was pushed over the side of a mountain road and he was beaten and left unconscious. He was rescued by a motorist and taken to the hospital in critical condition. I have interviewed Mike by phone many times and in person twice, when I made trips to Denver in 2002. I saw the scars on his face from the car crash and beatings.

The other man, Daryl Sturgis aka Tim Hall, eventually made a deal with the Feds, after they started harassing him; tapping his phones; and after agents from the FBI and DOJ questioned him and actually threatened ME, using Sturgis as a conduit.

They had tapped all my phone conversations with Sturgis over a period of months, and they showed up on more than one occasion outside his house, telling him that they had heard our entire phone conversations from a surveillance van down the road. On one such visit, they demanded that Sturgis turn over the documents ( those belonging to Stew Webb and retrieved from White's home).

The Feds had no search warrant. They flashed badges and guns and Sturgis folded and turned over the documents. Talk about illegal search and seizure!...but Sturgis was intimidated and cooperated on his own accord.

The Feds told Sturgis, after he had betrayed me; his country and the Constitution, that that were going to "bring the roof down" on Barbara Hartwell, a message relayed to me from these corrupt government officials by Sturgis.

I told Sturgis to tell these liars and cowards that if they had business with me they could come to me and state their business directly....otherwise they could go to hell. I am engaged in no illegal activites. I am a law abiding citizen and defender of the Constitution. The fact that I exposed corruption coming out of CIA black operations, which I had personally witnessed and experienced, was my only "crime".

During this time, Tim White was still in prison. It was after he was released that he began his harassment campign against Barbara Hartwell in earnest.

But why me? To this day, I have never met Tim White. I had never heard of him until August 2001, when he started promoting the lie that my life was under threat from Jeff Swedenburg.

Why did Tim White target me?

I think the answer to that question is by now fairly obvious. Tim White was ---and is-- acting on orders from someone else. And that someone would have to be acting as a sponsor of Tim White; providing financial support and protection for White. Otherwise, how could he possibly have the wherewithal; the means to fund his criminal activities? And otherwise, how could he possibly get away with these criminal violations? Not once, but repeatedly.

Stalking; harassing phone calls; attempted extortion; drug abuse; child pornography...the list goes on and on.

And who are the other targets of White's harassment, slander and outrageous conspiracy theories? In fact, all of us whom White has targeted are whistleblowers; survivors of government black operations; former military, law enforcement and intelligence personnel, ALL working to expose government corruption and illegal domestic and foreign covert operations.

TIM WHITE TEAMS UP WITH LIKE-MINDED GOV'T DUPES

There is a lot more to this story, as I'm sure anyone reading it may imagine. But for now, I will skip ahead to the present time (2003). Over the course of the past few months, Tim White has made contact with, and teamed up with, several other unscrupulous individuals: Brenda Negri; Shirley Anderson; Larry Lawson; and Charles Bruce Stewart.

The purpose of their ad hoc alliance? To collude and conspire to do more damage to Barbara Hartwell and my friends, family and professional associates.

All of these individuals are rank amateurs. None of them have any background whatsoever in intelligence work or law enforcment. None of them are professionals in any field. None are investigators or journalists. As far as I can see, all of them are uneducated, at least judging from their poor writing skills and dearth of knowledge about government operations.

But they do have commonalities. They are all loud and vulgar. They all seem to have double-digit IQs. They are all ignorant. They are all intrusive and totally lacking in respect for the personal boundaries of others. They all love to hear themselves talk, but despite their loud-mouthed rantings, they have nothing to say --at least nothing that any intelligent person would be interested in hearing.

Here is an example of the type of comments written by one of these penny-ante provocateurs, a government dupe named Brenda Negri, one of Tim White's supporters. White is the anonymous 'source' to which Negri claims to have a "direct line".

Written by Brenda Negri aka Ranger Rick:

"We have a direct line to someone who has all the goods on Doreen Bishop and her cronies and how they tie into the NWO. This source has all the dirt on Al Martin and Stew Webb and Blabs Wackenslut Hartwell and Rayelan. They've been feeding us a lot of good stuff and we'll be dropping it up here as time goes by. Meanwhile Dorothy, where's Toto?"

Well, I have to admit, Negri and White are two peas in a pod. And the only "goods" they have on anyone are the delusional fantasies they dream up in their little pea-sized brains.

And now, to wrap up, one last quote by Larry Lawson, another of Tim White's supporters, who had White as a guest on his radio show, along with another sleazy nutcase, Shirley Anderson, for the express purpose of slandering Barbara Hartwell.

Larry Lawson wrote the following about me, in response to CIA black ops survior Duncan O'Finioan:

"Your 'sister' [Barbara Hartwell] thinks people who support and coddle QUEERS are 'reasonable' eh? STRANGE 'family' you got there dude. I don't want any part of it. Don't trip on that rope!"

I have no idea what Lawson is talking about here in reference to "coddling queers". I certainly have nothing against homosexuals; neither do I promote nor support their lifestyle. However, although he makes it clear he doesn't like "queers" it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that Tim White, a transvestite and child-pornography freak, is A-OK in Lawson's book! As far as I can tell, Lawson, White and the rest of their cohorts, Charles Stewart, Brenda Negri and Shirley Anderson, are the REALLY STRANGE ones.

So please folks, when you read the libelous rantings of Tim White, dubbed by Al Martin as The Cross-dressing Conspiracy Theorist, take it all with a BUSHEL of salt, and most important.......

CONSIDER THE SOURCE.
