Official confirms what thousands of victims have long known: an evil U.S. shadow government is conducting a covert, taxpayer-funded genocidal purge of American society — while Congress and an apparently entrained Obama administration sleep.
Author’s note: Former FBI official Ted Gunderson died of cancer on July 31, 2011. Was his illness induced by silent electromagnetic assault or by other nefarious means? We will never know — and that’s just the way certain entities want it.
A former senior official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation says “rogue” military intelligence and law enforcement units of the federal government oversee a nationwide network of community-based “gang stalking” harassment, intimidation and domestic terrorism directed at thousands of U.S. citizens who have been extrajudicially targeted as “dissidents” or undesirables.Ted Gunderson, 82, who has served as the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles, Memphis and Dallas field offices, has stated in a series of public speaking appearances that he is now targeted by these same elements, and fears for his life and for the safety of his family. He reports that the windows of his home have been shot out, and he believes he has been poisoned and physically sickened by those seeking to silence him.
Since his retirement from the FBI in the 1979, Gunderson has been a Southern California- based private investigator. He is most noted for his defense work on the murder case involving former Army physician Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald.
The ex-FBI official’s comments represent the most compelling testimony to date indicating that “black operations” of the federal government are dedicated to waging a covert war of terror and persecution targeting American citizens.
“Based on my thirty years’ experience and research, I have determined there are thousands of victims who have been targeted by an illegal U.S. government rogue criminal enterprise — military intelligence, probably, tied into CIA and FBI and so forth
Ted Gunderson, myself, and others have come up against the discredited and hidden scheme police use to abuse citizens, journalists, and authors called Targeting.
Ramblings of a So-Called Paranoid Schizophrenic
In this follow-up to his ground-breaking memoir “Extrajudicial Execution,”Michael Lutterschmidt—who was targeted for surveillance, intimidation, torture and death—presents a series of reflections and theories on subjects ranging from the frightening to the bizarre.
[these can include D-E-W attacks, “Boston Brakes” car accidents, assassination of journalists by hired thugs, etc., Standard OPP by Secret Service and CIA and NSA and FBI and now DHS LEIUs]
Frequently the journalist or witness to CIA misconduct is more valuable to the CIA alive because during the persons life the CIA can paint a negative portrayal of the victims activities using false witness statements and planted evidence, not available if the person is dead.]
Labelled a paranoid-schizophrenic by professionals attempting to discredit his knowledge of government secrets, the author’s perceptive mind weighs in on the abuses and vagaries of religion; the manipulation of society by unseen forces; the presence of magic in our world; exotic new technologies used to spy on citizens and influence minds; explanations for aliens and other paranormal entities; criminal conspiracies in major organizations; and a host of other issues. These must-read “rambles” will both startle and illuminate anyone with an open mind.

Extrajudicial Execution
In his own words, a Targeted Individual (TI) exposes his tormented life and the heartless, sadistic and invasive methods used covertly to undermine his credibility, cause illness and excruciating pain, ruin him financially, tear apart his family, drive him mad and lead him to consider suicide. This dramatic and cautionary tale may seem extreme and far-fetched, but thousands of other Targeted Individuals throughout the world are suffering in silence right now. In this candid account, the author describes the psychological, emotional, mental and physical torture that he has endured for over six years, hoping that he will survive long enough to see this book in print.

Scotts Valley, CA 95066
I have been attacked by something in Deep South Bordertown Texas (Corpus Christi) where “Saved” dangerous homeless shelter and soup kitchen god worshippers have developed a predatory and abusive attack on me it seems backed in part by Governer Gregg Abbot and Ken Paxton.
My sole religious belief is about other religions no any that I hold.
For over 20 years centrally and 40 years pesonally I have felt NEOCON aggression towards Russia is past its time, Europe should not divide on Orthox versus Western Roman Catholic lines, dividing Eastern Europe from Western Europe.
After the fall of communism we needed to abandon that. I do not participate in Odinism, too close to Nazism and Genetic Europeanism though I do count myself and cultural historical Europe white and and ethnicity of value and worth and achievements in history.
Wicca has similar beliefs of pre Christianity but it like most religions contain self help maxims for life I consider religiously uninspired and mostly leftists tripe.
I merely distrust the division between Eastern and Western Europe that for most are religious empire related.
Let me start with a terrifying summary. I didn’t make to big a deal about being part of Goth clubs long ago in my life for many reasons one of which is I was older and heading out to the clubs six nights in a row to see the same people and say the same things was just less interesting than career development, family, and other interests.
Deep South saw goth and Cyber Goth videos of Mad Max females singing songs like “fuck me now” and have GoGO Dancer, Dominatrix looks, or Industrial music with Germanic leather clad SS like hat wearers and German heavy industrial music.
Skid row Texas I was in wanted lessons in that for their “saved” homeless shelter evangelicals and Hebrews, some Black Hebrew Israelite/Israel United In Christ hate groups (anti white, anti Jewish, anti European) who thought if they studied me they could connect themselves into this culture asserting either Elder Tribesmen who were from a remote area and so far unknown to most of the world (Compton LA, Borders of Texas and Mexico, and others where other hate groups fo cartels operate like Knights Templar Drug Dealers) and others.
A Cartel formed by them and my parents (mothers) trust fund. Since I was raised as an atheist these Deep South Saved (by Jesus) people would have to handle sex ed matters through the trust fund translated to developmentally retarded Ed Donegan who was never tought the Gospel in his atheist Family now need lessons on not being retarded.
That entailed making me look retarded and them getting Sex Ed lessons in Urban goth cool.
Most of these skid row using my name and my trust fund (only for me) to get Dominarix lessons for the retarded (sex education visists in cultural cool) had another agenda, while doing that, as me confession children of the city were being peeped at by the developmentally retarded dopple of me and thus getting restitution or protection racket fees.
Oddly enough (sorry to have to pretend this is unexpected from Texas) it seems to have a COINTELPRO Hummint law enforcement system tied to it as if GOth was a cultural threat of Devil Worshippers not saved and thus not trustworthy.
“After years spent trying to deal with the effects of COINTELPRO, my rage at the FBI’s almost
unimaginable evil remains undiminished because I believe that it succeeded in many of its
horrifying goals, given the deaths of Martin King, Malcolm X, and other sixties leaders. …
Since the FBI uses taxpayer dollars to fund its extreme and ridiculous investigations of anyone who expresses dissenting opinions, even resorting to crime — including theft, encouragement to murder, subornation of perjury, and manipulation of the judicial process — to achieve its ends, I have always advocated its disbanding.” – William M. Kunstler, civil rights attorney

INTRODUCTION
Activists across the country report increasing government harassment and disruption of
their work:
-In the Southwest, paid informers infiltrate the church services, Bible classes and support
networks of clergy and lay workers giving sanctuary to refugees from El Salvador and
Guatamala.
-In Alabama, elderly Black people attempting for the first time to exercise their right to
vote are interrogated by FBI agents and hauled before federal grand juries hundreds of
miles from their homes.
-In New England, a former CIA case officer cites examples from his own past work to
warn college students of efforts by undercover operatives to misdirect and discredit
protests against South African and US racism.
-In the San Francisco Bay Area, activists planning anti-nuclear civil disobedience learn
that their meetings have been infiltrated by the US Navy.
-In Detroit, Seattle, and Philadelphia, in Cambridge, MA, Berkeley,CA., Phoenix, AR.,
and Washington, DC., churches and organizations opposing US policies in Central
America report obviously political break-ins in which important papers are stolen or
damaged, while money and valuables are left untouched. License plates on a car spotted
fleeing one such office have been traced to the US National Security Agency.
-In Puerto Rico, Texas and Massachusetts, labor leaders, community organizers, writers
and editors who advocate Puerto Rican independence are branded by the FBI as
“terrorists,” brutally rounded-up in the middle of the night, held incommunicado for days
and then jailed under new preventive detention laws.
-The FBI puts the same “terrorist” label on opponents of US intervention in El Salvador,
but refuses to investigate the possibility of a political conspiracy behind nation-wide

COINTELPRO
bombings of abortion clinics.
-Throughout the country, people attempting to see Nicaragua for themselves find their trips
disrupted, their private papers confiscated, and their homes and offices plagued by FBI
agents who demand detailed personal and political information.
These kinds of government tactics violate our fundamental constitutional rights. They
make it enormously difficult to sustain grass-roots organizing. They create an atmosphere
of fear and distrust which undermines any effort to challenge official policy.
Similar measures were used in the 1960s as part of a secret FBI program known as
“COINTELPRO.” COINTELPRO was later exposed and officially ended. But the
evidence shows that it actually persisted and that clandestine operations to discredit and
disrupt opposition movements have become an institutional feature of national and local
government in the US. This pamphlet is designed to help current and future activists learn
from the history of COINTELPRO, so that our movements can better withstand such
attack.
The first section gives a brief overview of what we know the FBI did in the 60s. It explains
why we can expect similar government intervention in the 80s and beyond, and offers
general guidelines for effective response.
The main body of the pamphlet describes the specific methods which have previously been
used to undermine domestic dissent and suggests steps we can take to limit or deflect their
impact.
A final chapter explores ways to mobilize broad public protest against this kind of
repression.
Further readings and groups that can help are listed in back. The pamphlet’s historical
analysis is based on confidential internal documents prepared by the FBI and police during
the 60s.
It also draws on the post-60s confessions of disaffected government agents, and on the
testimony of public officials before Congress and the courts. Though the information from
these sources is incomplete, and much of what was done remains secret, we now know
enough to draw useful lessons for future organizing.
The suggestions included in the pamphlet are based on the author’s 20 years experience as
an activist and lawyer, and on talks with long-time organizers in a broad range of
movements. They are meant to provide starting points for discussion, so we can get ready
before the pressure intensifies. Most are a matter of common sense once the methodology

of covert action is understood. Please take these issues seriously. Discuss the
recommendations with other activists. Adapt them to the conditions you face. Point out
problems and suggest other approaches.
It is important that we begin now to protect our movements and ourselves.
A HISTORY TO LEARN FROM
WHAT WAS COINTELPRO?
“COINTELPRO” was the FBI’s secret program to undermine the popular upsurge which
swept the country during the 1960s. Though the name stands for “Counterintelligence
Program,” the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate “radical” political
opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant
harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency,
and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used
fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally- protected political activity. Its methods ranged
far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which
the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.
HOW DO WE KNOW ABOUT IT?
COINTELPRO was discovered in March, 1971, when secret files were removed from an
FBI office and released to news media. Freedom of Information requests, lawsuits, and
former agents’ public confessions deepened the exposure until a major scandal loomed. To
control the damage and re-establish government legitimacy in the wake of Vietnam and
Watergate, Congress and the courts compelled the FBI to reveal part of what it had done
and to promise it would not do it again. Much of what has been learned, and copies of
some of the actual documents, can be found in the readings listed at the back of this
pamphlet.
HOW DID IT WORK?
The FBI secretly instructed its field offices to propose schemes to “misdirect, discredit,
disrupt and otherwise neutralize “specific individuals and groups. Close coordination with
local police and prosecutors was encouraged. Final authority rested with top FBI officials
in Washington, who demanded assurance that “there is no possibility of embarrassment to
the Bureau.” More than 2000 individual actions were officially approved. The documents
reveal three types of methods:
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (4 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
● 1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main
function was to discredit and disrupt. Various means to this end are analyzed below.
● 2. Other forms of deception: The FBI and police also waged psychological warfare from
the outside–through bogus publications, forged correspondence, anonymous letters and
telephone calls, and similar forms of deceit.
● 3. Harassment, intimidation and violence: Eviction, job loss, break-ins, vandalism, grand
jury subpoenas, false arrests, frame- ups, and physical violence were threatened, instigated
or directly employed, in an effort to frighten activists and disrupt their movements.
Government agents either concealed their involvement or fabricated a legal pretext. In the
case of the Black and Native American movements, these assaults–including outright
political assassinations–were so extensive and vicious that they amounted to terrorism on
the part of the government.
WHO WERE THE MAIN TARGETS?
The most intense operations were directed against the Black movement, particularly the
Black Panther Party. This resulted from FBI and police racism, the Black community’s
lack of material resources for fighting back, and the tendency of the media–and whites in
general–to ignore or tolerate attacks on Black groups. It also reflected government and
corporate fear of the Black movement because of its militance, its broad domestic base and
international support, and its historic role in galvanizing the entire Sixties’ upsurge. Many
other activists who organized against US intervention abroad or for racial, gender or class
justice at home also came under covert attack. The targets were in no way limited to those
who used physical force or took up arms. Martin Luther King, David Dellinger, Phillip
Berrigan and other leading pacifists were high on the list, as were projects directly
protected by the Bill of Rights, such as alternative newspapers.
The Black Panthers came under attack at a time when their work featured free food and
health care and community control of schools and police, and when they carried guns only
for deterrent and symbolic purposes. It was the terrorism of the FBI and police that
eventually provoked the Panthers to retaliate with the armed actions that later were cited to
justify their repression.
Ultimately the FBI disclosed six official counterintelligence programs: Communist Party-
USA (1956-71); “Groups Seeking Independence for Puerto Rico” (1960-71); Socialist
Workers Party (1961-71); “White Hate Groups” (1964-71); “Black Nationalist Hate
Groups” (1967-71); and “New Left” (1968- 71).The latter operations hit anti-war, student,
and feminist groups. The “Black Nationalist” caption actually encompassed Martin Luther
King and most of the civil rights and Black Power movements. The “white hate” program
functioned mainly as a cover for covert aid to the KKK and similar right-wing vigilantes,
who were given funds and information, so long as they confined their attacks to
COINTELPRO targets. FBI documents also reveal covert action against Native American,
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (5 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
Chicano, Phillipine, Arab- American, and other activists, apparently without formal
Counterintelligence programs.
WHAT EFFECT DID IT HAVE?
COINTELPRO’s impact is difficult to fully assess since we do not know the entire scope
of what was done (especially against such pivotal targets as Malcolm X, Martin Luther
King, SNCC and SDS),and we have no generally accepted analysis of the Sixties. It is
clear,however, that:
-COINTELPRO distorted the public’s view of radical groups in a way that helped to isolate
them and to legitimize open political repression.
-It reinforced and exacerbated the weaknesses of these groups, making it very difficult for
the inexperienced activists of the Sixties to learn from their mistakes and build solid,
durable organizations.
-Its violent assaults and covert manipulation eventually helped to push some of the most
committed and experienced groups to withdraw from grass-roots organizing and to
substitute armed actions which isolated them and deprived the movement of much of its
leadership.
-COINTELPRO often convinced its victims to blame themselves and each other for the
problems it created, leaving a legacy of cynicism and despair that persists today.
-By operating covertly, the FBI and police were able to severely weaken domestic political
opposition without shaking the conviction of most US people that they live in a
democracy, with free speech and the rule of law.
THE DANGER WE FACE
DID COINTELPRO EVER REALLY END?
Public exposure of COINTELPRO in the early 1970s elicited a flurry of reform. Congress,
the courts and the mass media condemned government “intelligence abuses.” Municipal
police forces officially disbanded their red squads. A new Attorney General notified past
victims of COINTELPRO and issued Guidelines to limit future operations. Top FBI
officials were indicted (albeit for relatively minor offenses), two were convicted, and
several others retired or resigned. J. Edgar Hoover–the egomaniacal, crudely racist and
sexist founder of the FBI–died, and a well-known federal judge, William Webster,
eventually was appointed to clean house and build a “new FBI.”

COINTELPRO
Behind this public hoopla, however, was little real improvement in government treatment
of radical activists. Domestic covert operations were briefly scaled down a bit, after the
60s’ upsurge had largely subsided, due inpart to the success of COINTELPRO. But they
did not stop. In April, 1971, soon after files had been taken from one of its offices, the FBI
instructed its agents that “future COINTELPRO actions will be considered on a highly
selective, individual basis with tight procedures to insure absolute security.” The results are
apparent in the record of the subsequent years:
-A virtual war on the American Indian Movement, ranging from forgery of documents,
infiltration of legal defense committees, diversion of funds, intimidation of witnesses and
falsification of evidence, to the para-military invasion of the Pine Ridge Reservation in
South Dakota, and the murder of Anna Mae Aquash, Joe Stuntz and countless others;
-Sabotage of efforts to organize protest demonstrations at the 1972 Republican and
Democratic Party conventions. The attempted assassination of San Diego Univ. Prof. Peter
Bohmer, by a “Secret Army Organization” of ex-Minutemen formed, subsidized, armed,
and protected by the FBI, was a part of these operations;
-Concealment of the fact that the witness whose testimony led to the 1972 robbery-murder
conviction of Black Panther leader Elmer “Geronimo” Pratt was a paid informer who had
worked in the BPP under the direction of the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department;
-Infiltration and disruption of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and prosecution of
its national leaders on false charges (Florida, 1971-74);
-Formation and operation of sham political groups such as “Red Star Cadre,” in Tampa,
Fla., and the New Orleans “Red Collective” (1972-76);
-Mass interrogation of lesbian and feminist activists, threats of subpoenas, jailing of those
who refused to cooperate, and disruption of women’s health collectives and other projects
(Lexington, KY., Hartford and New Haven,Conn., 1975);
-Harassment of the Hispanic Commission of the Episcopal Church and numerous other
Puerto Rican and Chicano religious activists and community organizers (Chicago, New
York City, Puerto Rico, Colorado and New Mexico, 1977);
-Entrapment and frame-up of militant union leaders (NASCO shipyards,San Diego, 1979);
and
-Complicity in the murder of socialist labor and community organizers (Greensboro, N.C.,
1980).

COINTELPRO
IS IT A THREAT TODAY?
All this, and maybe more, occured in an era of reform. The use of similar measures in
today’s very different times cannot be itemized in such detail, since most are still secret.
The gravity of the current danger is evident, however, from the major steps recently taken
to legitimize and strengthen political repression, and from the many incidents which are
coming to light despite stepped-up security.
The ground-work for public acceptance of repression has been laid by President Reagan’s
speeches reviving the old red-scare tale of worldwide “communist take-overs” and adding
a new bogeyman in the form of domestic and international “terrorism.” The President has
taken advantage of the resulting political climate to denounce the Bill of Rights and to red-
bait critics of US intervention in Central America. He has pardoned the FBI officials
convicted of COINTELPRO crimes, praised their work, and spoken favorably of the
political witchhunts he took part in during the 1950s.
For the first time in US history, government infiltration to “influence” domestic political
activity has received official sanction. On the pretext of meeting the supposed terrorist
threat, Presidential Executive Order 12333 (Dec. 4, 1981) extends such authority not only
to the FBI, but also to the military and, in some cases, the CIA. History shows that these
agencies treat legal restriction as a kind of speed limit which they feel free to exceed, but
only by a certain margin. Thus, Reagan’s Executive Order not only encourages reliance on
methods once deemed abhorent, it also implicitly licenses even greater, more damaging
intrusion. Government capacity to make effective use of such measures has also been
substantially enhanced in recent years:
-Judge Webster’s highly-touted reforms have served mainly to modernize the FBI and
make it more dangerous. Instead of the back- biting competition which impeded
coordination of domestic counter- insurgency in the 60s, the Bureau now promotes inter-
agency cooperation. As an equal opportunity employer, it can use Third World and female
agents to penetrate political targets more thoroughly than before. By cultivating a low-
visibility corporate image and discreetly avoiding public attack on prominent liberals, the
FBI has regained respectability and won over a number of former critics.
-Municipal police forces have similarly revamped their image while upgrading their
repressive capabilities. The police “red squads” that infiltrated and harassed the 60s’
movements have been revived under other names and augmented by para-military SWAT
teams and tactical squads as well as highly-politicized community relations and “beat rep”
programs, in which Black, Hispanic and female officers are often conspicuous. Local
operations are linked by FBI-led regional anti-terrorist task forces and the national Law
Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU).
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (8 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
-Increased military and CIA involvement has added political sophistication and advanced
technology. Army Special Forces and other elite military units are now trained and
equipped for counter-insurgency (known as”low-intensity warfare”). Their manuals teach
the essential methodology of COINTELPRO, stressing earlier intervention to neutralize
potential opposition before it can take hold.
The CIA’s expanded role is especially ominous. In the 60s, while legally banned from
“internal security functions,” the CIA managed to infiltrate the Black, student and antiwar
movements. It also made secret use of university professors, journalists, labor leaders,
publishing houses, cultural organizations and philanthropic fronts to mold US public
opinion. But it apparently felt compelled to hold back–within the country–from the kinds
of systematic political destabilization, torture, and murder which have become the
hallmark of its operations abroad. Now, the full force of the CIA has been unleashed at
home.
-All of the agencies involved in covert operations have had time to learn from the 60s and
to institute the “tight procedures to insure absolute security” that FBI officials demanded
after COINTELPRO was exposed in 1971. Restoration of secrecy has been made easier by
the Administration’s steps to shield covert operations from public scrutiny. Under Reagan,
key FBI and CIA files have been re-classified “top secret.” The Freedom of Information
Act has been quietly narrowed through administrative reinterpretation. Funds for covert
operations are allocated behind closed doors and hidden in CIA and defense
appropriations.
Government employees now face censorship even after they retire, and new laws make it a
federal crime to publicize information which might tend to reveal an agent’s identity.
Despite this stepped-up security, incidents frighteningly reminiscent of 60s’
COINTELPRO have begun to emerge.
The extent of the infiltration, burglary and other clandestine government intervention that
has already come to light is alarming. Since the vast majority of such operations stay
hidden until after the damage has been done, those we are now aware of undoubtedly
represent only the tip of the iceberg. Far more is sure to lie beneath the surface.
Considering the current political climate, the legalization of COINTELPRO, the
rehabilitation of the FBI and police, and the expanded role of the CIA and military, the
recent revelations leave us only one safe assumption: that extensive government covert
operations are already underway to neutralize today’s opposition movements before they
can reach the massive level of the 60s.
WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (9 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
Domestic covert action has now persisted in some form through at least the last seven
presidencies. It grew from one program to six under Kennedy and Johnson. It flourished
when an outspoken liberal, Ramsey Clark, was Attorney General (1966-68). It is an
integral part of the established mode of operation of powerful, entrenched agencies on
every level of government. It enables policy-makers to maintain social control without
detracting from their own public image or the perceived legitimacy oftheir method of
government. It has become as institutional in the US as the race, gender, class and imperial
domination it serves to uphold.
Under these circumstances, there is no reason to think we can eliminate COINTELPRO
simply by electing better public officials. Only through sustained public education and
mobilization, by a broad coalition of political, religious and civil libertarian activists, can
we expect to limit it effectively.
In most parts of the country, however, and certainly on a national level, we lack the
political power to end covert government intervention, or even to curb it substantially. We
therefore need to learn how to cope more effectively with this form of repression.
The next part of this pamphlet examines the methods that were used to discredit and
disrupt the movements ofthe 60s and suggests steps we can take to deflect or reduce their
impact in the 80s.
A CHECK-LIST OF ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS:
-Check out the authenticity of any disturbing letter, rumor, phone call or other
communication before acting on it.
-Document incidents which appear to reflect covert intervention, and report them to the
Movement Support Network Hotline: 212/477- 5562.
-Deal openly and honestly with the differences within our movements (race, gender, class,
age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, personality, experience, physical and
intellectual capacities, etc.) before the FBI and police exploit them to tear us apart.
-Don’t rush to expose a suspected agent. Instead, directly criticize what the suspect says
and does. Intra-movement witchhunts only help the government create distrust and
paranoia.
-Support whoever comes under government attack. Don’t be put off by political slander,
such as recent attempts to smear radical activists as “terrorists.” Organize public opposition
to FBI investigations, grand juries, show trials and other forms of political harassment.

COINTELPRO
-Above all, do not let them divert us from our main work. Our most powerful weapon
against political repression is effective organizing around the needs and issues which
directly affect people’s lives.
WHAT THEY DO & HOW WE CAN PROTECT
OURSELVES
INFILTRATION BY AGENTS OR INFORMERS
Agents are law enforcement officers disguised as activists.
Informers are non-agents who provide information to a law enforcement or intelligence
agency. They may be recruited from within a group or sent in by an agency, or they may
be disaffected former members or supporters.
Infiltrators are agents or informers who work in a group or community under the direction
of a law enforcement or intelligence agency. During the 60s the FBI had to rely on
informers (who are less well trained and harder to control) because it had very few black,
Hispanic or female agents, and its strict dress and grooming code left white male agents
unable to look like activists. As a modern equal opportunity employer, today’s FBI has
fewer such limitations.
What They Do: Some informers and infiltrators quietly provide information while keeping
a low profile and doing whatever is expected of group members. Others attempt to
discredit a target and disrupt its work. They may spread false rumors and make unfounded
accusations to provoke or exacerbate tensions and splits. They may urge divisive
proposals, sabotage important activities and resources, or operate as “provocateurs” who
lead zealous activists into unnecessary danger. In a demonstration or other confrontation
with police, such an agent may break discipline and call for actions which would
undermine unity and detract from tactical focus.
Infiltration As a Source of Distrust and Paranoia: While individual agents and informers
aid the government in a variety of specific ways, the general use of infiltrators serves a
very special and powerful strategic function. The fear that a group may be infiltrated often
intimidates people from getting more involved. It can give rise to a paranoia which makes
it difficult to build the mutual trust which political groups depend on. This use of
infiltrators, enhanced by covertly-initiated rumors that exaggerate the extent to which a
particular movement or group has been penetrated, is recommended by the manuals used
to teach counter-insurgency in the U.S. and Western Europe.

COINTELPRO
Covert Manipulation to Make A Legitimate Activist Appear to be an Agent: An actual
agent will often point the finger at a genuine, non-collaborating and highly-valued group
member, claiming that he or she is the infiltrator. The same effect, known as a “snitch
jacket,” has been achieved by planting forged documents which appear to be
communications between an activist and the FBI, or by releasing for no other apparent
reason one of a group of activists who were arrested together. Another method used under
COINTELPRO was to arrange for some activists, arrested under one pretext or another, to
hear over the police radio a phony broadcast which appeared to set up a secret meeting
between the police and someone from their group.
GUIDELINES FOR COPING WITH INFILTRATION:
● l. Establish a process through which anyone who suspects an informer (or other form of
covert intervention) can express his or her fears without scaring others. Experienced
people assigned this responsibility can do a great deal to help a group maintain its morale
and focus while, at the same time, centrally consolidating information and deciding how to
use it. This plan works best when accompanied by group discussion of the danger of
paranoia, so that everyone understands and follows the established procedure.
● 2. To reduce vulnerability to paranoia and “snitch jackets”, and to minimize diversion from
your main work, it generally is best if you do not attempt to expose a suspected agent or
informer unless you are certain of their role. (For instance, they surface to make an arrest,
testify as a government witness or in some other way admit their identity). Under most
circumstances, an attempted exposure will do more harm than the infiltrator’s continued
presence. This is especially true if you can discreetly limit the suspect’s access to funds,
financial records, mailing lists, discussions of possible lawviolations, meetings that plan
criminal defense strategy, and similar opportunities.
● 3. Deal openly and directly with the form and content of what anyone says and does,
whether the person is a suspected agent, has emotional problems, or is simply a sincere,
but naive or confused person new to the work.
● 4. Once an agent or informer has been definitely identified, alert other groups and
communities by means of photographs, a description of their methods of operation, etc. In
the 60s, some agents managed even after their exposure in one community to move on and
repeat their performance in a numberof others.
● 5. Be careful to avoid pushing a new or hesitant member to take risks beyond what that
person is ready to handle, particularly in situations which could result in arrest and
prosecution. People in this position have proved vulnerable to recruitment as informers.
OTHER FORMS OF DECEPTION
Bogus leaflets, pamphlets, etc.: COINTELPRO documents show that the FBI routinely put
out phony leaflets, posters, pamphlets, etc. to discredit its targets. In one instance, agents
revised a children’s coloring book which the Black Panther Party had rejected as anti-
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (12 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
white and gratuitously violent, and then distributed a cruder version to backers of the
Party’s program of free breakfasts for children, telling them the book was being used
in the program.
False media stories: The FBI’s documents expose collusion by reporters and news media
that knowingly published false and distorted material prepared by Bureau agents. One such
story had Jean Seberg, a noticeably pregnant white film star active in anti-racist causes,
carrying the child of a prominent Black leader. Seberg’s white husband, the actual father,
has sued the FBI as responsible for her resulting still-birth, breakdown, and suicide.
Forged correspondence: Former employees have confirmed that the FBI and CIA have the
capacity to produce “state of the art” forgery. The U.S. Senate’s investigation of
COINTELPRO uncovered a series of letters forged in the name of an intermediary
between the Black Panther Party’s national office and Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver, in
exile in Algeria. The letters proved instrumental in inflaming intra-party rivalries that
erupted into the bitter public split that shattered the Party in the winter of 1971.
Anonymous letters and telephone calls: During the 60s, activists received a steady flow of
anonymous letters and phone calls which turn out to have been from government agents.
Some threatened violence. Others promoted racial divisions and fears. Still others charged
various leaders with collaboration, corruption, sexual affairs with other activists’ mates,
etc. As in the Seberg incident, inter-racial sex was a persistent theme. The husband of one
white woman involved in a bi-racial civil rights group received the following anonymous
letter authored by the FBI:
–Look, man, I guess your old lady doesn’t get enough at home or she wouldn’t be shucking
and jiving with our Black Men in ACTION, you dig? Like all she wants to integrate is the
bedroom and us Black Sisters ain’t gonna take no second best from our men. So lay it on
her man–or get her the hell off [name]. A Soul Sister
False rumors: Using infiltrators, journalists and other contacts, the Bureau circulated
slanderous, disruptive rumors through political movements and the communities in which
they worked.
Other misinformation: A favorite FBI tactic uncovered by Senate investigators was to
misinform people that a political meeting or event had been cancelled. Another was to
offer non- existent housing at phony addresses, stranding out-of-town conference attendees
who naturally blamed those who had organized the event. FBI agents also arranged to
transport demonstrators in the name of a bogus bus company which pulled out at the last
minute. Such “dirty tricks” interfered with political events and turned activists against each
other.

COINTELPRO
SEPARATE BOX:
Fronts for the FBI: COINTELPRO documents reveal that a number of Sixties’ political
groups and projects were actually set up and operated by the FBI.
One, “Grupo pro-Uso Voto,” was used to disrupt the fragile unity developing in l967
among groups seeking Puerto Rico’s independence from the US. The genuine proponents
of independence had joined together to boycott a US-administered referendum on the
island’s status. They argued that voting under conditions of colonial domination could
serve only to legitimize US rule, and that no vote could be fair while the US controlled the
island’s economy, media, schools, and police. The bogus group, pretending to support
independence, broke ranks and urged independistas to take advantage of the opportunity to
register their opinion at the polls.
Since FBI front groups are basically a means for penetrating and disrupting political
movements, it is best to deal with them on the basis of the Guidelines for Coping with
Infiltration (below).
Confront what a suspect group says and does, but avoid public accusations unless you have
definite proof. If you do have such proof, share it with everyone affected.
GUIDELINES FOR COPING WITH OTHER FORMS OF
DECEPTION:
● 1. Don’t add unnecessarily to the pool of information that government agents use to divide
political groups and turn activists against each other. They thrive on gossip about personal
tensions, rivalries and disagreements. The more these are aired in public, or via a telephone
which can be tapped or mail which can be opened, the easier it is to exploit a groups’
problems and subvert its work. (Note that the CIA has the technology to read mail without
opening it, and that the telephone network can now be programmed to record any
conversation in which specified political terms are used.)
● 2. The best way to reduce tensions and hostilities, and the urge to gossip about them, is to
make time for open, honest discussion and resolution of “personal” as well as “political”
issues.
● 3. Don’t accept everything you hear or read. Check with the supposed source of the
information before you act on it. Personal communication among estranged activists,
however difficult or painful, could have countered many FBI operations which proved
effective in the Sixties.
● 4. When you hear a negative, confusing or potentially harmful rumor, don’t pass it on.
Instead, discuss it with a trusted friend or with the people in your group who are
responsibile for dealing with covert intervention.
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (14 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
● 5. Verify and double-check all arrangements for housing, transportation, meeting rooms,
and so forth.
● 6. When you discover bogus materials, false media stories, etc., publicly disavow them and
expose the true source, insofar as you can.
HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION & VIOLENCE:
Pressure through employers, landlords, etc.: COINTELPRO documents reveal frequent
overt contacts and covert manipulation (false rumors, anonymous letters and telephone
calls) to generate pressure on activists from their parents, landlords, employers, college
administrators, church superiors, welfare agencies, credit bureaus, licensing authorities,
and the like.
Agents’ reports indicate that such intervention denied Sixties’ activists any number of
foundation grants and public speaking engagements. It also cost underground newspapers
most of their advertising revenues, when major record companies were persuaded to take
their business elsewhere. It may underlie recent steps by insurance companies to cancel
policies held by churches giving sanctuary to refugees from El Salvador and Guatamala.
Burglary: Former operatives have confessed to thousands of “black bag jobs” in which FBI
agents broke into movement offices to steal, copy or destroy valuable papers, wreck
equipment, or plant drugs.
Vandalism: FBI infiltrators have admitted countless other acts of vandalism, including the
fire which destroyed the Watts Writers Workshop’s multi-million dollar ghetto cultural
center in 1973. Late 60s’ FBI and police raids laid waste to movement offices across the
country, destroying precious printing presses, typewriters, layout equipment, research files,
financial records, and mailing lists.
Other direct interference: To further disrupt opposition movements, frighten activists, and
get people upset with each other, the FBI tampered with organizational mail, so it came
late or not at all. It also resorted to bomb threats and similar “dirty tricks”.
Conspicuous surveillance: The FBI and police blatantly watch activists’ homes, follow
their cars, tap phones, open mail and attend political events. The object is not to collect
information (which is done surreptiously), but to harass and intimidate.
Attempted interviews: Agents have extracted damaging information from activists who
don’t know they have a legal right to refuse to talk, or who think they can outsmart the FBI.
COINTELPRO directives recommend attempts at interviews throughout political
movements to “enhance the paranoia endemic in these circles” and “get the point across
that there is an FBI agent behind every mailbox.”
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (15 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:53 AM]
COINTELPRO
Grand juries: Unlike the FBI, the Grand Jury has legal power to make you answer its
questions. Those who refuse, and are required to accept immunity from use of their
testimony against them, can be jailed for contempt of court. (Such “use immunity” enables
prosecutors to get around the constitutional protection against self-incrimination.)
The FBI and the US Dept. of Justice have manipulated this process to turn the grand jury
into an instrument of political repression. Frustrated by jurors’ consistent refusal to convict
activists of overtly political crimes, they convened over 100 grand juries between l970 and
1973 and subpoenaed more than 1000 activists from the Black, Puerto Rican, student,
women’s and anti-war movements. Supposed pursuit of fugitives and “terrorists” was the
usual pretext. Many targets were so terrified that they dropped out of political activity.
Others were jailed without any criminal charge or trial, in what amounts to a U.S. version
of the political internment procedures employed in South Africa and Northern Ireland.
False arrest and prosecution: COINTELPRO directives cite the Philadelphia FBI’s success
in having local militants “arrested on every possible charge until they could no longer
make bail” and “spent most of the summer in jail.” Though the bulk of the activists
arrested in this manner were eventually released, some were convicted of serious charges
on the basis of perjured testimony by FBI agents, or by co-workers who the Bureau had
threatened or bribed.
The object was not only to remove experienced organizers from their communities and to
divert scarce resources into legal defense, but even more to discredit entire movements by
portraying their leaders as vicious criminals. Two victims of such frame-ups, Native
American activist Leonard Peltier and 1960s’ Black Panther official Elmer “Geronimo”
Pratt, have finally gained court hearings on new trial motions.
Others currently struggling to re-open COINTELPRO convictions include Richard
Marshall of the American Indian Movement and jailed Black Panthers Herman Bell,
Anthony Bottom, Albert Washington (the “NY3”), and Richard “Dhoruba” Moore.
Intimidation: One COINTELPRO communique urged that “The Negro youths and
moderates must be made to understand that if they succumb to revolutionary teaching, they
will be dead revolutionaries.”
Others reported use of threats (anonymous and overt) to terrorize activists, driving some to
abandon promising projects and others to leave the country. During raids on movement
offices, the FBI and police routinely roughed up activists and threatened further violence.
In August, 1970, they forced the entire staff of the Black Panther office in Philadelphia to
march through the streets naked.
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (16 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:54 AM]
COINTELPRO
Instigation of violence: The FBI’s infiltrators and anonymous notes and phone calls incited
violent rivals to attack Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and other targets. Bureau records
also reveal maneuvers to get the Mafia to move against such activists as black comedian
Dick Gregory.
A COINTELPRO memo reported that “shootings, beatings and a high degree of unrest
continue to prevail in the ghetto area of southeast San Diego…it is felt that a substantial
amount of the unrest is directly attributable to this program.”
Covert aid to right-wing vigilantes: In the guise of a COINTELPRO against “white hate
groups,” the FBI subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Klu Klux Klan and other
right-wing groups, including a “Secret Army Organization” of California ex-Minutemen
who beat up Chicano activists, tore apart the offices of the San Diego Street Journal and
the Movement for a Democratic Military, and tried to kill a prominent anti-war organizer.
Puerto Rican activists suffered similar terrorist assaults from anti-Castro Cuban groups
organized and funded by the CIA.
Defectors from a band of Chicago-based vigilantes known as the “Legion of Justice”
disclosed that the funds and arms they used to destroy book stores, film studios and other
centers of opposition had secretly been supplied by members of the Army’s 113th Military
Intelligence Group.
Assassination: The FBI and police were implicated directly in murders of Black and
Native American leaders. In Chicago, police assassinated Black Panthers Fred Hampton
and Mark Clark, using a floor plan supplied by an FBI informer who apparently also had
drugged Hampton’s food to make him unconscious during the raid.
FBI records show that this accomplice received a substantial bonus for his services.
Despite an elaborate cover-up, a blue-ribbon commision and a U.S Court of Appeals found
the deaths to be the result not of a shootout, as claimed by police, but of a carefully
orchestrated, Vietnam-style “search and destroy mission”.
GUIDELINES FOR COPING WITH HARASSMENT,
INTIMIDATION & VIOLENCE:
● 1. Establish security procedures appropriate to your group’s level of activity and discuss
them thoroughly with everyone involved. Control access to keys, files, letterhead, funds,
financial records, mailing lists, etc. Keep duplicates of valuable documents. Safeguard
address books, and do not carry them when arrest is likely.
● 2. Careful records of break-ins, thefts, bomb threats, raids, arrests, strange phone noises
(not always taps or bugs), harassment, etc. will help you to discern patterns and to prepare
reports and testimony.
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (17 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:54 AM]
COINTELPRO
● 3. Don’t talk to the FBI. Don’t let them in without a warrant. Tell others that they came.
Have a lawyer demand an explanation and instruct them to leave you alone.
● 4. If an activist does talk, or makes some other honest error, explain the harm that could
result. But do not attempt to ostracize a sincere person who slips up. Isolation only
weakens a person’s ability to resist. It can drive someone out of the movement and even
into the arms of the police.
● 5. If the FBI starts to harass people in your area, alert everyone to refuse to cooperate (see
box). Call the Movement Support Network’s Hotline:(2l2) 614-6422. Set up community
meetings with speakers who have resisted similar harassment elsewhere. Get literature,
films, etc. through the organizations listed in the back of this pamphlet. Consider “Wanted”
posters with photos of the agents, or guerilla theater which follows them through the city
streets.
● 6. Make a major public issue of crude harassment, such as tampering with your mail.
Contact your congressperson. Call the media. Demonstrate at your local FBI office. Turn
the attack into an opportunity for explaining how covert intervention threatens
fundamental human rights.
● 7. Many people find it easier to tell an FBI agent to contact their lawyer than to refuse to
talk. Once a lawyer is involved, the Bureau generally pulls back, since it has lost its power
to intimidate. If possible, make arrangements with a local lawyer and let everyone know
that agents who visit them can be referred to that lawyer. If your group engages in civil
disobedience or finds itself under intense police pressure, start a bail fund, train some
members to deal with the legal system, and develop an ongoing relationship with a
sympathetic local lawyer.
● 8. Organizations listed in the back of this pamphlet can also help resist grand jury
harassment. Community education is important, along with legal, financial, child care, and
other support for those who protect a movement by refusing to divulge information about
it. If a respected activist is subpoenaed for obviously political reasons, consider trying to
arrange for sanctuary in a local church or synagogue.
● 9. While the FBI and police are entirely capable of fabricating criminal charges, any law
violations make it easier for them to set you up. The point is not to get so up-tight and
paranoid that you can’t function, but to make a realistic assessment based on your visibility
and other pertinent circumstances.
● 10. Upon hearing of Fred Hampton’s murder, the Black Panthers in Los Angeles fortified
their offices and organized a communications network to alert the community and news
media in the event of a raid. When the police did attempt an armed assault four days later,
the Panthers were able to hold off the attack until a large community and media presence
enabled them to leave the office without casualties. Similar preparation can help other
groups that have reason to expect right-wing or police assaults.
● 11. Make sure your group designates and prepares other members to step in if leaders are
jailed or otherwise incapacitated. The more each particpant is able to think for herself or
himself and take responsibility, the better will be the group’s capacity to cope with crises.
ORGANIZING PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO COVERT
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (18 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:54 AM]
COINTELPRO
INTERVENTION
A BROAD-BASED STRATEGY: No one existing political organization or movement is
strong enough, by itself, to mobilize the public pressure required to signficantly limit the
ability of the FBI, CIA and police to subvert our work. Some activists oppose covert
intervention because it violates fundamental constitutional rights. Others stress how it
weakens and interferes with the work of a particular group or movement. Still others see
covert action as part of a political and economic system which is fundamentally flawed.
Our only hope is to bring these diverse forces together in a single, powerful alliance.
Such a broad coalition cannot hold together unless it operates with clearly-defined
principles. The coalition as a whole will have to oppose covert intervention on certain
basic grounds–such as the threat to democracy, civil liberties and social justice, leaving its
members free to put forward other objections and analyses in their own names. Participants
will need to refrain from insisting that only their views are “politically correct” and that
everyone else has “sold out.”
Above all, we will have to resist the government’s manuevers to divide us by moving
against certain groups, while subtly suggesting that it will go easy on the others, if only
they dissociate themselves from those under attack. This strategy is evident in the recent
Executive Order and Guidelines, which single out for infiltration and disruption people
who support liberation movements and governments that defy U.S. hegemony or who
entertain the view that it may at times be necessary to break the law in order to effectuate
social change.
DIVERSE TACTICS: For maximum impact, local and national coalitions will need a
multi-faceted approach which effectively combines a diversity of tactics, including:
● l. Investigative research to stay on top of, and document, just what the FBI, CIA and police
are up to.
● 2. Public education through forums, rallies, radio and TV, literature, film, high school and
college curricula, wallposters, guerilla theater, and whatever else proves interesting and
effective.
● 3. Legislative lobbying against administration proposals to strengthen covert work, cut
back public access to information, punish government “whistle-blowers”, etc. Coalitions in
some cities and states have won legislative restrictions on surveillance and covert action.
The value of such victories will depend our ability to mobilize continuing, vigilant public
pressure for effective enforcement.
● 4. Support for the victims of covert intervention can reduce somewhat the harm done by
the FBI, CIA and police. Organizing on behalf of grand jury resisters, political prisoners,
and defendants in political trials offers a natural forum for public education about domestic
covert action.
● 5. Lawsuits may win financial compensation for some of the people harmed by covert
http://www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/warathom.htm (19 of 29) [9/3/2001 11:33:54 AM]
COINTELPRO
intervention. Class action suits, which seek a court order (injunction) limiting surveillance
and covert action in a particular city or judicial district, have proved a valuable source of
information and publicity. They are enormously expensive, however, in terms of time and
energy as well as money. Out-of-court settlements in some of these cases have given rise
to bitter disputes which split coalitions apart, and any agreement is subject to
reinterpretation or modification by increasingly conservative, administration-oriented
federal judges.
The US Court of Appeals in Chicago has ruled that the consent decree against the FBI
there affects only operations based “solely on the political views of a group or an
individual,” for which the Bureau can conjure no pretext of a “genuine concern for law
enforcement.”
● 6. Direct action, in the form of citizens’ arrests, mock trials, picketlines, and civil
disobedience, has recently greeted CIA recruiters on a number of college campuses.
Although the main focus has been on the Agency’s international crimes, its domestic
activities have also received attention. Similar actions might be organized to protest
recruitment by the FBI and police, in conjunction with teach-ins and other education about
domestic covertaction. Demonstrations against Reagan’s attempts to bolster covert
intervention, or against particular FBI, CIA or police operations, could also raise public
consciousness and focus activists’ outrage.
PROSPECTS: Previous attempts to mobilize public opposition, especially on a local level,
indicate that a broad coalition, employing a multi-faceted approach, may be able to impose
some limits on the government’s ability to discredit and disrupt our work. It is clear,
however, that we currently lack the power to eliminate such intervention. While fighting
hard to end domestic covert action, we need also to study the forms it takes and prepare
ourselves to cope with it as effectively as we can.
Above all, it is essential that we resist the temptation to so preoccupy ourselves with
repression that we neglect our main work. Our ability to resist the government’s attacks
depends ultimately on the strength of our movements. So long as we continue to advocate
and organize effectively, no manner of intervention can stop us.
BUGS, TAPS AND INFILTRATORS: WHAT TO DO ABOUT
POLITICAL SPYING
by Linda Lotz, American Friends Service Committee
Organizations involved in controversial issues — particularly those who encourage or assist
members to commit civil disobedience — should be alert to the possibility of surveillance

COINTELPRO
and disruption by police or federal agencies.
During the last three decades, many individuals and organizations were spied upon,
wiretapped, their personal lives dirupted in an effort to draw them away from their political
work, and their organizations infiltrated. Hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence from
agencies such as the FBI and CIA were obtained by Congressional inquiries headed by
Senator Frank Church and Representative Otis Pike, others were obtained through use of
the Freedom of Information Act and as a result of lawsuits seeking damages for First
Amendment violations.
Despite the public outcry to these revelations, the apparatus remains in place, and federal
agencies have been given increased powers by the Reagan Administration.
Good organizers should be acquainted with this sordid part of American history, and with
the signs that may indicate their group is the target of an investigation.
HOWEVER, DO NOT LET PARANOIA immobilize you. The results of paranoia and
overraction to evidence of surveillance can be just as disruptive to an organization as an
actual infiltrator or disruption campaign.
This document is a brief outline of what to look for — and what to do if you think your
group is the subject of an investigation. This is meant to suggest possible actions, and is
not intended to provide legal advice.

GANG STALKING VIGILANTISM RUN BY U.S. GOVERNMENT, SAYS EX-FBI OFFICIAL
Official confirms what thousands of victims have long known: an evil U.S. shadow government is conducting a covert, taxpayer-funded genocidal purge of American society — while Congress and an apparently entrained Obama administration sleep.
Author’s note: Former FBI official Ted Gunderson died of cancer on July 31, 2011. Was his illness induced by silent electromagnetic assault or by other nefarious means? We will never know — and that’s just the way certain entities want it.
A former senior official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation says “rogue” military intelligence and law enforcement units of the federal government oversee a nationwide network of community-based “gang stalking” harassment, intimidation and domestic terrorism directed at thousands of U.S. citizens who have been extrajudicially targeted as “dissidents” or undesirables.
Ted Gunderson, 82, who has served as the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles, Memphis and Dallas field offices, has stated in a series of public speaking appearances that he is now targeted by these same elements, and fears for his life and for the safety of his family. He reports that the windows of his home have been shot out, and he believes he has been poisoned and physically sickened by those seeking to silence him.
Since his retirement from the FBI in the 1979, Gunderson has been a Southern California- based private investigator. He is most noted for his defense work on the murder case involving former Army physician Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald.
The ex-FBI official’s comments represent the most compelling testimony to date indicating that “black operations” of the federal government are dedicated to waging a covert war of terror and persecution targeting American citizens.
“Based on my thirty years’ experience and research, I have determined there are thousands of victims who have been targeted by an illegal U.S. government rogue criminal enterprise — military intelligence, probably, tied into CIA and FBI and so forth — that is active 24 hours a day throughout the United States,” Gunderson stated in an October 2008 speech posted last fall on YouTube.
youtube.com/watch?v=o6MRciqml9I
NOTE: It appears that the link to the Ted Gunderson YouTube video has been sabotaged. Please search “Ted Gunderson” and “YouTube” and look for the link to his speech at the Gulf Symposium. I believe this is more blatantly illegal and malicious interference with telecommunications by operatives of Lockheed Martin, under contract to U.S. Homeland-mil-intel, or another entity representing the agencies, commands and corporations of the U.S. fusion center network.
“It is far too extensive to be controlled by private enterprise,” Gunderson said. “I believe this well organized and sophisticated operation has a central command located somewhere in the United States, with multiple satellite offices scattered throughout the country.”
Said Gunderson:
“It appears those who administer the program can call any location in the United States for surveillance, a telephone tap, or… harassment directed at a victim, and immediately dispense manpower to the source… This well-greased, covert operation makes the old FBI counterintelligence program (code-named “Cointelpro”) look like a Sunday school class.”
Gunderson also maintains that federal security and law enforcement agencies and commands have been infiltrated by members of secret societies such as the Illuminati, which he has described as a satanic criminal cult.
This correspondent has reported that Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest defense contractor and the prime cyber-security and information technology supplier to the federal government, coordinates the communications and trains the “team leaders” of a nationwide Gestapo-like apparatus, which has tentacles into every security and law enforcement agency in the nation, including state and local police and 72 regional “fusion centers” administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. According to company literature, Lockheed Martin has operations in 46 of the 50 states.
nowpublic.com/world/rule-law-morality-die-usa-fusion-center-slow-kill-genocide
Lockheed Martin also has operational command and control over a U.S. government microwave radio frequency weapon system, deployed on cell tower masts throughout the U.S., that is being used to silently torture, impair, subjugate and electronically incarcerate so-called “targeted individuals.” The nexus of this American “torture matrix” appears to be Lockheed Martin’s Mission and Combat Support Solutions central command center in Norristown, Montgomery County, PA., which employs several thousand workers. The defense contractor’s global headquarters is in Bethesda, MD, just outside the nation’s capital.
nowpublic.com/world/u-s-silently-tortures-americans-cell-tower-microwaves
Lockheed Martin, under contract to U.S. security and intelligence agencies and commands, also conducts warrantless surveillance of the telecommunications of targeted persons, and routinely censors and tampers with the content of their communications, as this reporter has documented in a series of recent articles:

nowpublic.com/world/wash-post-blog-moderation-used-cover-u-s-govt-censorship
Thousands of Americans, including this veteran journalist, have publicly reported being the victims of silent electromagnetic assault and community-based home intrusions, vandalism, and even the poisoning of food, water and air. Federal and local law enforcement routinely dismiss their reports as the product of delusions or mental illness, and refuse to investigate their complaints.

These “targets” and their families have been physically harmed and financially destroyed as a result of taxpayer-funded “psychological operations,” police-protected community “stalking” harassment and malicious vandalism, and other covert programs of personal destruction, including government-assisted financial sabotage. Many appear to have been targeted as a result of their politics; their activism or corporate whistle-blowing activities; their ethnic background; or as a result of score-settling vendettas by persons in positions of power — in government and in the private sector.
The former FBI executive’s remarks are only now attracting widespread exposure on this and other web sites. This correspondent believes that recent revelations of government-sponsored domestic terrorism against U.S. citizens have prompted some conscientious insiders to call attention to Gunderson’s public statements.
Gunderson has said that government-sponsored gang stalking terrorism is financed “through illegal black operations,” such as sales of illegal drug; gambling; prostitution; and even sexual exploitation of children. But this reporter believes it is more likely that programs of government-sponsored domestic terrorism are funded from military and security “black ops” budgets that have been illegally diverted to covert domestic programs administered and conducted primarily by defense contractors.
Late last year, The New York Times disclosed that an official of the U.S. Air Force had set up an unauthorized military intelligence spy ring in Pakistan and Afghanistan, run by Lockheed Martin and funded by defense appropriations.

This correspondent suspects that a similar arrangement could be funding government-sponsored “gang stalking” operations throughout the nation, and has urged Congress to immediately hold public hearings as part of a comprehensive investigation of military-style “black ops” targeting American citizens and their families — a silent, slow-kill genocide motivated by ideology and hate.

Preview YouTube video Ted Gunderson (1 of 10) Gulf Coast 9/11 Truth Symposium
Jen Moore and others note those whose lives are being destroyed by Targeting are a threat to the FBI and CIA and Free Masons, that the US killed Kennedy, most of them, and the CIA and FBI and world epsionage are covering their tracks by tried to wipe out CIA and FBI connected whistlenblowers.
Ted Gunderson said the same thing, that was why a CIA FBI hit was out on him, he being ex FBI.
THis applies to the military CIA role of my father too, likely flying under Richard Bissle Jr and tied to the Kennedy family from Dorchester where we (and he) were from, Massachusetts.
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS CIA Donald Barr) has a sleeper agent in his arms but for anonymities sake the Barrack Obama Jr that the CIA is going to place in Indonesia or elsewhere is quitely hidden real name real birth place Los Angeles Manhattan Beach City where Ed Donegan (and when Ed Donegan) was born.
The Black Bag Jobs I have experience AT LEAST since 2001 San Francisco have included unauthorized acces into my apart and unuathorized survelleince not to facilitate detection of crime but law enforcement creation of the appearance of me comiting crime.
Telecom was crosswired and dropped as I was researching key ideas for my book on the FBI, local police, and others long term harrassment of me and my family.
Breakins when I had the FBI and Chrsitoper Wray on the cover of my book as the Deep State, breakins and again computer theft when I watched The Kings Speech, power turned off to my apartment by circuit breaker when I wrote of William Burns CIA, etc.,
The telecom wiring had been cut by knife several times, wrongfly wired and labled as my telecom under the building to other neigbors units where child porn was manufactured (1511) undercover operates confused the billing and postal address to 1511 and 1513 and death threats were used whenI complained.
Medical battery (aggravated) occured when I used the Sea Wall and a Hispanic told me (and his dog at the same time) only blacks belonged out there, another time a Hispanic was planting a teen female near me, I spit, landing in a physical acttack on me.
My home was broken in to as though my shower was a peepting platfrom, converted to that but when the adjoinng apartment emptied out I found a real peeping platfron in it with cigarrette burns were as I was told little girls were showering.
Making the gym unusable and unsafe advance the progress of diabetes as did poor nutrition.
The use of Stalker acts as emergencies that as serious enough to counter them is the method of provoking fights, fights the FBI or others will claim they had not hand in and I am paraoniod.
I first saw the non white adult male planting a teen in yoga pants in a very large huge black male himself in a vest of the type Secret Service use at the FBI building in Corpus Christi.
He walked into that building later. I did not see Secret Service listed their but years later at the DOJ office a black females was using bogus names, etc., and the office was clearlly running the skid row assailants of me.
I have more later, but FBI was running a watergate like breakin for years. A book in my Kindle Unlimited shelf talks about how dissidents and others are made to look shizophreneic, etc., and people are warned off from that targeted person, and people are told that targeted person’s statement are NOT credible or ratonal
The theory the GangsStalk of actors sets up is I like teens in Yoga pants or gym shorts. I have never like ANYONE OF ANY AGE in those clothes, and only Jessica Simpson in Daisy Dukes.
If it were true gym clothers were a fetish of mine, gym access would (and did) turn into all male, isoloating me.
As far as Bikini, there is a track record I do like that, and the record is correct. I once thought of 3D bikin posts using parallax with some computer functions written in visual basic. The shoot went well but the visual basic did not.
I once went on a Bikini search on altnet. I found multiple, teen and adult. Only teen was secondary, not primary. If any pictures were retained of someone obviously underage it was due only to it not being sexually involved photo, otherwise I would have hated or deleted it.
Many unexpected and wrongly categorized pictures are posted, some were interest little kids with wings I remember, and I always found the Goth imagery of the interior spirit caged an interesting part of Goth art.
Not teen fetish and as is in my counseling records I generally despise youth altogether in part because I was once young.
In fact the appearance of youth is used the same way banging on dumpsters near me, turning on fire alarms or sprinklers, showing knives knife motions to me, Gang tattoos, hammering on walls with hammers, other activities are used – it is known unpleasant to me and thus interferes with more sublime activities like reading books, etc.,
