Harrassment Beginning After CIABASE Creation:
   Due to the bizarre nature of the following I have been 
reluctant to mention it. In July 1993, after the former 
Commandant of the Defense Intelligence College, John Macartney, 
reviewed CIABASE in two intelligence-related organizations' 
publications (stating CIABASE recorded both the good and bad
and was "invaluable, indispensable"), I have been harassed 
and followed -- first by the Herndon Police Department -- 
most police harassment ended when I protested to the mayor and 
town council.  Next civilians in unmarked vans shadowed me.  
Many, if not all, commercial establishments have probably been 
given my photograph and some kind of derogatory information since 
store and restaurant security staff or managers virtually 
always appear to harass me.

   I assume I am under "investigation" by either or both the CIA
or the FBI.  Following the embarrassment of the Aldrich Ames flap
they long for a counterintelligence success and to silence a 
critic.  My house is obviously bugged because they seem to know 
my precise movements -- occasionally I announce (to the walls) 
a false destination -- which causes a van and personnel to arrive
late to urge commercial establishments take action against me.  
This all has the sound of George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" 
and I realize that many will not believe it -- I would not 
believe it if someone else told me this story. But that is the 
beauty of harassment -- the citizen looks like a dolt and has 
ittle recourse.

   To some degree I fear that the FBI will arrest me after 
thoroughly demonizing me (with false confessions from others, 
planted evidence, or ?) and I am mentally prepared for that 
contingency -- but that would give me instant notoriety -- 
something they want to avoid at almost all costs.  Certainly the 
best approach for them is to harass me until they force me
to stop. I have taken and will take appropriate actions to 
challenge their illegalities.  Many in the past asked why if the 
CIA was so powerful it allowed me to speak out -- my answer was, 
when and if I was deemed a threat, I would be silenced -- I 
apparently have achieved that status. I now live in 
"Nineteen Eighty-Four."

   Both the CIA and the FBI fear the truth -- the FBI fears the
truth demonstrates its role as the political police -- attacking
organizations and individuals it deems unsuitable.  To some 
degree both the CIA and FBI fear the revelations of CIABASE.  
First CIABASE demonstrates what can be achieved by analysis 
of information from overt sources. I have no access, nor want 
any, to their classified fantasies. But this is a direct affront 
to their procedures of seeking intelligence primarily from 
paid informants -- demonstrating that those agencies' 
information gathering, agent-oriented operations, are mostly 
unnecessary while also frequently grossly inaccurate. My lack of 
classified data must also frustrate their investigation and they 
will have to invent some violation(s) by me to further justify 
harassment and prosecution.

   The FBI/CIA fear CIABASE and other similar resources because, 
while they do include positive information, they record the 
reprehensible actions of CIA's covert operations and their tragic
consequences. In the past congressional and presidential 
commissions' investigations of the CIA narrowly centered 
on the latest flap and ignored the historical totality.  
When anyone in the world can in a few seconds locate details of 
CIA operations in a country, or CIA run deceptions, or its 
universal support for death squads, or any other many areas of 
CIA actions -- and when this information is available to the 
general world audience -- it is much more difficult to ignore. 
Presidential commissions and Congressional committees finally
may have to deal with totality and reality.

   My work on CIABASE has always been directed at informing the 
American people. It is obvious that the Security State will 
continue to lie and deliberately mislead us.  CIABASE provides a 
resource that can help to instantly identify those lies -- and 
policymakers, as a consequence, may have to consider real change.
