ndoor Toxic Mold Awareness - September 5 to October 5,
2008
The Mold Controversy
There are two schools of thought in the medical community:
One group believes that molds cause allergic responses only (i.e. asthma, fungal sinusitis) and the other group has “scientific” evidence showing that inhalation of mycotoxins causes adverse health effects and not just allergic
responses.
» National Indoor Mold Society
What is the purpose of National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month?
The purpose of National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month is to inform, educate, and raise
awareness about the adverse health effects due to exposure of indoor molds and mycotoxins.
What are molds?
Molds are a common name for fungi. Molds are microscopic organisms that produce enzymes to
digest organic matter and mold spores to reproduce. These organisms are part of the fungi
kingdom, a realm shared with mushrooms, yeast, and mildews. In nature, molds play a key role
in the decomposition of leaves, wood, and other plant debris. Molds need
moisture to grow.
What are mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are toxic vapors produced by mold spores when they sporulate, or grow, and have
serious health effects on humans and animals. Mycotoxins are so poisonous that they have been
used as a biological war weapon. Stachybotrys chartarum is the most studied and well-known
toxic mold. It is known to produce trichothecene mycotoxins. Aspergillus produces aflatoxin
mycotoxins. Aflatoxins are among the most carcinogenic substances known.
How do you get sick from mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or contact with the skin, and can result
in a multitude of symptoms including but not limited to: dermatitis, cough, rhinitis, nose bleeds,
cold and flu-like symptoms, headache, general malaise and fever.
How can exposure to indoor mold and mycotoxins affect my health?
Mycotoxin exposure can lead to toxic injury that may include multiple illnesses, affecting the
skin and the nervous, vascular, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, urinary, and immune
systems; including the formation of cancers and can be life-threatening.
Can mold grow inside the human body?
Yes. Certain species of molds referred to as “body temperature molds” can live and grow inside
Page 2 of 135
the human body, causing recurring infections and numerous other health problems as well as
death.
Should I use bleach to clean mold?
No. Bleach combined with certain mycotoxins and VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), can
create neurotoxins and brain tumors. OSHA does not recommend using bleach in mold
remediation. Ammonia dissolves some molds and neutralizes the mycotoxins. It is important to
follow safety guidelines when using cleaners to remove molds. Consult the EPA website for
proper personal safety equipment when removing mold. If mold growth is over 10 square feet,
the recommendation is to contact a professional who is experienced in cleaning up mold; either a
reputable, certified industrial hygienist (CIH) or a qualified mold remediation company.
Toxic Mold Fact Sheet
The National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month Planning Committee developed this Toxic
Mold Fact Sheet to provide information about molds and mycotoxins. Currently, there are no
Federal Government Standards for indoor air quality regarding molds and mycotoxins. This
information is provided to inform the public on the preventable health and development
problems that may be caused by exposure to toxic mold in their homes, schools, and
communities.
Important Mold Facts: People are routinely exposed to more than 200 species of fungi indoors and outdoors. There are
sixty species that produce the 180 trichothecene mycotoxins. Mycotoxins kill other things, like
bacteria and viruses, so mold can continue to grow. The American Cancer Society lists aflatoxin
mycotoxins as known human carcinogens. The FDA has enforced regulatory limits on aflatoxin
concentrations in foods and feeds since 1965.
Mold spores, whether dead or alive, can cause adverse health effects. Molds also produce a large
number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are responsible for the musty
odors produced by growing molds.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
There is no practical way to eliminate all molds and mold spores in the indoor
environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any substance,
providing moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and
foods.
Clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24-48 hours to
prevent mold growth.
Incidences: It is estimated that 500,000 deaths occur yearly in the United States due to exposure to indoor
toxic mold.
Page 3 of 135
According to an EPA study, an estimated 50% of our nation’s schools have problems linked to
poor indoor air quality.
Health Causes: Mycotoxin exposure can lead to toxic injury that may include multiple illnesses, affecting the
skin and the nervous, vascular, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, urinary, and immune
systems; including the formation of cancers and can be life-threatening.
Studies: In the mid-1990's, a study conducted from Cleveland, Ohio, involved infants who had died
suddenly from unexplained pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeding of the lungs). Upon investigation,
the researchers found that the infants resided in homes with high levels of Stachybotrys atra,
linking Stachybotrys atra exposure to serious health effects and even death. A government study
is now being conducted, with findings to be released in 2010.
A 1997 Mayo Clinic study found that 96% of recurring sinus infections are caused by fungus in
the sinuses. When participants were treated with anti-fungal sinus sprays, recurrence of infection
was considerably less, and in some cases, no recurring infections were noted.
Fifty percent of the 937 children tested in a large multicity asthma study sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health showed sensitivity to mold, indicating the importance of mold as an
asthma trigger among these children. Molds are thought to play a role in asthma in several ways.
Molds produce many potentially allergenic compounds, and molds may play a role in asthma via
release of irritants that increase potential for sensitization or release of toxins (mycotoxins) that
affect immune response.

DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this fact sheet is to inform, not treat or offer legal counsel to the
public about
mold/mycotoxin health related issues. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any
disease or take the place of medical advice and treatment from your personal physician, nor is it
intended to serve as legal counsel. Please consult your own doctor or other qualified health
professional regarding the treatment of your medical problem and consult your attorney for legal
counsel.
September 2014 marks the 6th annual Mold Awareness Month started by the National Indoor
Mold Society. Executive director Letitia Peters states: “The purpose of National Indoor Toxic
Mold Awareness Month is to inform, educate, and raise awareness about the adverse health
effects due to exposure of indoor molds and mycotoxins.”

And, while it appears that the good work of Ms. Peters and NIMS has been terminated (she could
not be reached by email and her NIMS Facebook account has had no updates since 2010),
September as Mold Awareness Month continues to be in the news.
What are mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are the toxic vapors produced by mold spores when they sporulate, or grow. These
toxins can have serious health effects for both humans and animals.
How bad are they?
Mycotoxins are so poisonous that they have been used as a biological war weapon.
One mold, Stachybotrys chartarum, is the most studied and well-known toxic mold. It produces
trichothecene, a mycotoxin so deadly it killed 100,000 people in the Soviet Union when they
were exposed to it in their food.

Mold in public schools is a growing problem!
Another mold, Aspergillus, produces a mycotoxin called aflatoxin. Aflatoxins are among the
most carcinogenic substances known. The FDA has enforced regulatory limits on aflatoxin
concentrations in foods and feeds since 1965. However, currently there are still no Federal
Government Standards for indoor air quality regarding molds and mycotoxins.
So why have a “mold awareness month”?
There are about 1,000 species of mold that can be found in the United States, with more than
100,000 known species worldwide.
Not all of them are poisonous; not all people are allergic to molds and mycotoxins.

The Great Mold Debate There are two schools of thought in the medical community concerning mold and toxicity.
One group believes that molds only cause “allergic responses” like asthma or fungal sinusitis.
The second group has research data that provides compelling evidence demonstrating that
inhalation of mycotoxins can cause serious adverse health effects in some people – and not just
“allergic responses.” This second group of physicians report that the research data suggests a
strong relationship between exposure to these toxins and

exacerbation of asthma
respiratory infections
and chronic sinus problems
as well as a host of other diseases including:
cancer
attention deficit disorder
multiple sclerosis
and
Parkinson’s Disease
However, because the debate continues in the medical community, there remain no federal
government standards for indoor air quality regarding molds and mycotoxins.
But why pick September for Mold Awareness Month?
There may be several reasons why Ms. Peters picked the month of September to designate as
“mold awareness month.” Perhaps it’s because summer heat and humidity increases the growth
of mold indoors. But, more likely it’s because September is also the month children across the
nation return to school.
Mold in Schools
A report by CNN in 2012 “Are Schools Making Kids Sick?” stated that one-third of U.S. schools
have mold, dust and other indoor air problems.
A national survey of school nurses found that 40% knew children and staff who were adversely
affected by indoor pollutants. In the CNN interview, allergist Dr. John Santilli, reported that he
Page 7 of 135
has treated dozens of students sickened by school air. “Even when children don’t miss school,”
he said, “the medications they take for asthma and conditions like rhinitis, an allergic reaction to
mold or dust, can make it harder for them to do their best work. They’re on antihistamines,
they’re on nasal sprays, they’re on asthma medications, and this limits their ability to perform,”
Santilli said. “These kids can’t concentrate. They can’t focus on what’s going on.”
Headaches, fatigue, memory problems and slowed thinking are all present in the people who are
susceptible – and this includes the students as well as the teachers!
The mold problem in schools is so prevalent in the U.S. that the Environmental Protection
Agency has published a guideline: Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings
And, while there are still no federal governmental standards for indoor air quality, some state
governments, like the State of New York have developed their own guidelines.
Most recently, in response to John Lee’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability
testimony “that the asthma hospitalization rate in some New York City neighborhoods is now
four times the national average,” which he attributed in part to the mold problem, New York
City’s Mayor de Blasio signed into effect the Green Codes to Promote Environmentally Friendly
Building Practices and Legislation to Modify Business Improvement on May 19 of this year.
The new codes require the use of mold-resistant gypsum board or cement board in areas where
there is continuous high humidity or direct exposure to water to reduce hazardous mold growth.
But I don’t live in New York.
What can be done to prevent mold growth in my child’s school?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
There is no practical way to eliminate all molds and mold spores in the indoor
environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any substance,
providing moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and
foods.
Therefore, the only way to prevent mold growth is to find and correct water damage and
leaks and to clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24-
48 hours.
What can I do if I think there’s mold in my child’s school?
While the City of Philadelphia and the State of New Jersey don’t currently have legislation that
require a change in building codes to decrease the prevalence of mold in schools, they do have
recommendations for safe remediation and removal of mold from schools on their respective
Department of Health websites.

Dear Disstinguished Family of the Toxic Mold Community,
For the past several weeks, the National Indoor Mold Society has
spearheaded putting together a coalition of organizationsand
individuals suffering from toxic mold exposure to expose the truth
about this environmental disease. They are Sharon Pawlak (TN Toxic
Mold State Rep) of www.moldmadness.com, Iris Brooks (GA. Toxic Mold
State Rep) of www.myspace.com/faceoftoxicmold and Lori Tondini (IL
Toxic Mold State Rep), a former school administrative assistant and we
formed the National Indoor Toxic Mold Planning Committee.
WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOAL:
The National Indoor Toxic Mold Toxic Planning Committee has prepared
for publication the first Toxic Mold Proclamation observing the
upcoming National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month, September 5 to
October 5, 2008. We were aware that in 2004, a group of organizations,
doctors, and mold advocates assembled for 1 week in September for the
Page 9 of 135
1stNational Mold Awareness Week. We have prepared a draft National
Indoor Toxic Mold Month Proclamation. We want to make a significant
impact on increasing mold research and dispelling myths that exposure
to toxic mold can not make you ill. We want to give a voice to the
voiceless, which we can only do by partnering together in order to
create one voice. Let's Break the Mold together! We hope that you will
join us in supporting this massive endeavor. Together our voices
will
be heard as we work to bring toxic mold exposure as a health care
epidemic. We invite all organizations (related to toxic mold
exposure/indoor environment/indoor air quality/illnesses caused by
toxic mold exposure i.e. autism, toxic encephalopathy),
environmental/mold specialists doctors, physicians, (some have already
committed to this effort), businesses (real estate/mold remediation/law
firms), clubs, schools, churches, groups, and individuals suffering due
to toxic mold exposure to join us in this event.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP MAKE THIS EVENT BE A SUCCESS?
1. Become an Indoor ToxicMoldState Proclamation Representative:
We have commitments from several individuals in NJ, GA, IL, TN, CO as
well as, one International Representative. The Indoor Toxic Mold State
ProclamationRepresentative can be an individual, business, doctor or
organization.
As an Indoor Toxic Mold State Representatives, you will be responsible
for obtaining a signed proclamation from your Governor and working to
develop an event in your state. The governor probably will not sign the
proclamation unless an event is taking place in his/her state. In order
to help those who want to obtain a signed proclamation from their
Governor, we are putting together a complete, easy-to-follow guide,
which outline the steps to get the National Indoor Toxic Mold Month
Proclamation signed. We hope to have as many of the states participate
for the 1st National Indoor Toxic Mold
Month.
The Indoor Toxic Mold State Representatives will be sent the
Proclamation Package, which contains the Proclamation, Fact Sheet, and
other supporting documentation.
2. Write Letters to Be Part of the Proclamation Supporting
Documentation:
We need letters of support from organizations, environmental doctors,
businesses, and individuals affected from toxic mold exposure to be
sent to your legislatorsand to the Governor emphasizing how this
proclamation will have a positive impact on the overall community.
3. PROPOSED EVENTS/ SPEAKERS/SPONSORS:
You can host an Indoor Toxic Mold Symposiumbringing in mold expert(s),
i.e. Environment Doctors/Mold Remediators/Toxic Mold Attorneys to speak
at your event. You can have it at your church, club, library, or
Page 10 of 135
school. You can set-up a booth at a local community event or health
fair. Please take pictures/videotape your event so that we can post
them on the websites.
NIMS will be hosting the National Indoor Mold Society Internet Talk

4. FACES OF MOLD DVD: Indoor Toxic Mold State Rep Lori Tondini has
sent me the following letter of intent for the FACES OF MOLD DVD-
please get your before mold exposure and after mold exposure pictures
to Lori. This is an exciting project!
LETTER OF INTENT FOR "FACES OF MOLD" DVD
I would like to put a dvd together, showing "faces" of mold victims.
Hopefully, I can get it done in time for all the National Indoor Toxic
Mold Awareness Month events, and have it playing in the background,
before presentations or something...I think we talked about it
before...what I need is info on your websites, asking mold victims to
e-mail a photo, and condensed info, Such as: Susie, 42, lawyer,
exposed at work, lungs/brain affected - something to that
effect...photos should be Jpeg only, and sent to: [email protected]
Depending on amount of pics received, will try to include all who send
me a picture...and hopefully
, I will get enough to put it together!
Those who email pics to me will not be compensated in any way, and I
will receive no monetary gain for preparing the dvd. No information or
photo will be used for any other purpose other than what has been
stipulated. The dvd will not be "sold" or dispersed to anyone other
than those who wish to use it in conjunction with an educational and
informative "mold event", to be played only to show that we are real,
normal people from all walks of life, ...no different from anyone
else.

To inform, educate, and bring awareness about how exposure to indoor molds and mycotoxins
can affect your health.
September 2009 marks the 2nd anniversary of National Indoor Mold Society’s National Indoor
Toxic Mold Awareness Month (NITMAM). We developed NITMAM to inform, educate, and
bring awareness about how exposure to indoor molds and mycotoxins can affect your health.
Currently, there are no Federal Government
Standards for indoor air quality regarding molds and mycotoxins. We all know that molds are
everywhere, but when an abundance of molds are indoors, given the right conditions they can
cause serious health consequences. Molds and the mycotoxins they produce have affected people
from all walks of life and ages. They do not discriminate; even some well-known celebrities have
been affected. Even if you can’t see or smell them in your school, workplace, or residence these
mycotoxins are capable of affecting you, your family, your co-workers, classmates, or loved
ones’ health. This information is provided to inform the public on the
preventable health and development problems that may be caused by exposure to toxic mold in
your homes,
schools, places of worship, and communities.
National Indoor Mold Society is committed to working in partnership with stakeholders,
international, national,and regional organizations. We invite organizations, health care
professionals, businesses, schools, places of worship, and individuals suffering due to toxic mold
exposure to join us in this event. Your help, no matter how
great or small your contribution to this effort may be, is needed and appreciated in order to
“spread the word”.
We would like to say a great big “thank you” for everyone who supported NITMAM 2008 and
now is supporting
NITMAM 2009.
We hope that you will join us in supporting this massive endeavor, which can only be done by
partnering together in order to create ONE VOICE. Let's Break the Mold together!

September is National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month (N.I.T.M.A.M.)
Do you have health problems? Have you heard of "Sick Building Syndrome"? I didn't
either. I have never heard of the term "sick building syndrome" or that a building could
make you sick, because it was "...sick". I went from being basically a healthy woman with
allergies, which I acquired from being in one "sick" building for 7 years. My immune
system was slowly being compromised due to my daily exposure of indoor toxic molds and
Page 15 of 135
mycotoxins in several water-damaged buildings where I worked. Toxic Mold Exposure has
been linked to cause many diseases including CANCER. Many women develop breast
cancer. As a result, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,
neuralgia, severe edema, asthma (developed full-blown asthma which required me to be on
an inhaler, but it went away after being out of the building for 1 year), toxic
encephalopathy, and reversible airways disease. I am doing my part to inform, educate,
and bring awareness to this environmental disease. Did you know that there are 500,000
deaths yearly in the U.S.A. due to exposure of indoor toxic mold exposure? Based on an
EPA study, they estimate that 50% of the nation's schools have problems linked to poor
indoor air quality. In the video, I also refer to a poem written by a 13 years old girl named
Arielle Murray called Mold..The Destroyer. If a child can understand the implications that
mold can do to one's body and quality of life, then why can't adults get it? I don't what has
happen to me to happen to others, especially to me, children. Children, like Arielle should
be enjoying their childhood and not go through this horrific disease. I know that I did.
September 2008 was the first National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month. The Nevada
Legislature declared September 2009 as N.I.T.M.A.M. Let's Break the Mold Together!!
Please share this video with everyone that you know it may save someone's life.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF LETITIA PETERS' STORY:
Let me introduce myself, my name is Letitia Peters. I am a former Federal Government
Electronics Engineer turned activist and I live in the United States & Jesus/Yeshua has
allowed me to live through the most horrific atrocity of my life since 2009. I am a woman of
God who was intentionally selected to be in a “secret” human subject research program,
like the NSA’s PRISM research. I was working in a unhealthy, work environment in
Washington, DC for years, which caused me to develop a compromised immune system.
My former employer, the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) allowed us to work in a
workplace, which they knew was manifested with toxic mold. My once very healthy body
became compromised after working in it for over 7 years. First, my face starting to break
out. The NASSIF building was declared a sick building. People were dying in the 10 story,
4 quadrant building, which the U.S. Government was paying David Nassif $50 million a
year. We moved to the F.A.A. Headquarters and my body became more sensitive. They had
water damage and toxic mold started developing in the building. Even though they denied
having any water damage or mold in the building, other employees told me differently. A
doctor confirmed that I was suffering from “sick building syndrone”. I never heard of the
term before. Have you? One day, I received a phone call telling me that black mold was
growing in the cafeteria. I took pictures of the black mold that was growing in the ceiling of
the cafeteria, before they tried to cover-up this evidence. Then I had 2 break-ins 6 months
apart, after living there for over 10 years. My car was stolen so I took public transportation
or called a taxi. One day, I saw a male peeping through my basement window while I was
laying down on my sofa. Was I being watched and by whom? I was meeting with my
supervisor when the second break-in occurred. What were they looking for? There was no
investigation by the police, which I thought was strange. I published the toxic mold pictures
in my video, which is posted at www.youtube.com/NIMSOCIETY.
I was allowed to work temporarily into a fairly “new” building, which did not have any
water damage or mold. At first, I was not having any problems, until the furniture and
computer arrived from the “old building”. There was no decontamination of the furniture
Page 16 of 135
and the computer from the “old building”. By bringing the furniture and the computer
from the “old buiding” into the new environment the once contaminated free area became
contaminated because the mold spores were on them and they became air-borne. No one
was aware of “cross-contamination”, but this is what happened. I developed full-blown
asthma, severe edema, and was retaining 15 to 20 pounds of water weight. The pathologist
diagnosed me with late stage 2, early stage 3 of mycotoxicosis. Mycotoxins have been used
in biological warfare to kill people & here it was growing throughout my entire body. Since
my body was highly toxic, I ate organic foods only and took plenty of vitamins and
supplements. I developed a weight problem, despite not ever having one before. I was
working out like I had always done, but I was between 20 to 30 lbs. over my normal
weight.
After I was fired after 16 years of U.S. Federal Government service as an engineer, I
turned my anger into activism. I was forced to become an activist because I wanted to right
the wrong that was done to me. I started an organization called National Indoor Mold
Society or N.I.M.S. for short to bring awareness to the public & lawmakers that toxic mold
exposure can cause adverse health effects and even death. I interviewed many of the top
mold specialists in the U.S., which is available for download at www.TalkShoe.com. I
developed and produced a 6 hour live radio show dedicated to toxic mold with the top 6
mold specialists in the country, which received rave reviews. They only agreed to come on
the show after they checked me out to make sure that I was not a mole or double agent.
Unfortunately, I was not able to get a copy of the show from the radio station or the host of
the show. In 2008, I spearheaded the National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month
(N.I.T.M.A.M.) with other mold activists and survivors. Their names are Sharon Pawlak,
Lori Tondini author of Are You Moldy: A True Story of a Very Moldy Person (I am
mentioned in her book), and Iris Brooks and we formed the National Indoor Toxic Mold
Planning Committee. We were also the Toxic Mold State Representatives as well. We
developed the N.I.T.M.A.M. Proclamation, which was signed by many Governors and it
was proclaimed in their states during the month of September 2008. I attended a
Proclamation Ceremony with the Georgia Governor in September 2009. The Nevada
legislature passed legislation declaring September 2009 as N.I.T.M.A.M. God told me to
close down N.I.M.S. because I had another fight to do at the time, which was intertwined.
N.I.T.M.A.M. is still being celebrated by organizations, survivors, and businesses in the
United States today every year in September. One survivor, Brandy B. is still submitting
the N.I.T.M.A.M. Proclamation in honor of the hard work that we did for the state of
Georgia every year. I sought the treatment from the top mold specialists & pathologist in
the country, like Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, Dr. Kaye Kilburn, and Dr. William Croft. A
fellow mold survivor told me about a Holistic Practitioner, Barbara Frank who specialize
in the lymphatic system; her detoxing methods and products saved my life. I am still her
client today and I have referred several people to her for treatment of their diseases. Ms.
Frank has been providing health information for the “Heal Our Nations” Event. Her
website is www.BarbaraFrank222.com.
UPDATE: The Federal Government has cost me 20 years of my life, which I can never get back.
I was railroaded by a group of people, which was lead by one bitter woman who
Page 17 of 135
obviously hated me to put me and my family in this lifetime, generational human
subject research project. Like Edward Snowden, I knew people and I knew how the
system worked and I worked the system. I knew that I could not miss a deadline and I
did not. When I could not get reasonable accommodation, I applied for other jobs, but
I was not selected. The reason why it was strange was because I was selected out of a
nationwide competition for the position in Washington, DC. It was a GS-801 12/13/14
and I received many accolades (humbly speaking). The people at the F.A.A.T.C.
thought that I was going to be the F.A.A. Administrator. I worked with some
awesome guys. It was a male who told me that I outgrew the F.A.A.T.C. and I should
go to F.A.A. Headquarters.
I was awarded worker's compensation and then three months later, someone reverse it.
I sent letters, made phone calls, and NO ONE CONTACTED ME. I applied for civil
rights case. I was told that I had a good discrimination case. I hired one of the top
firms in Washington, DC. I was told that they were "milking me". After putting out
close to $10,000, I did not receive anything. Another firm wanted $25,000 for a
retainer fee, which was too high for my pockets. I had a year to apply for my
disability retirement, which I did. An attorney wanted to charge me $5,000 to do my
paperwork. In the meantime, I was dealing with the United States Merit Systems
Protection Board (U.S.M.S.P.B.), because of the unscrupulous & illegal tactics and I
sent them letters indicating the rules and regulations that they violated. Some tactics
included: backdate paperwork, said that I could work from home & then do not pay
me, overpay me & say that they made an error in order to "dock" me later, put me in
Leave Without Pay Status even when I had leave available on the books, which they
would not let me use & they refused to provide me reasonable accommodation with
proper medical documentation. The F.A.A. failed to send me COBRA paperwork.The
U.S.M.S.P.B. was another nightmare. Since I was a project scheduler, someone
intentionally compressed the dates that was impossible to meet, but with the help of
Yeshua, I did not miss one deadline. It was the F.A.A. who did not do one thing. They
tried to say that they did not receive the judge's order. I file motions for the judge to
rule on and he NEVER ruled on any of my motions. I should have WON. They were
timely and on point. The judge went on vacation and arrogantly told me that this was
his courtroom. This is the problem that the judge believe that they would do anything
that they want to in their courtroom regardless of the rules, statutes, & laws. I sent
him a 50 page fax to recuse himself as judge, which he refused. I went to my mailbox
and there was letter stating that I was awarded my disability retirement. I called the
judge and he process my paperwork that day stating so that I could not pursue this
issue against the F.A.A. again. He was more than too happy to get rid of me. The
U.S.M.S.P.B. needs to be reformed. The F.A.A. failed to process my paperwork. I
sent my complaint to the late Senator Lautenberg's office and they helped me. I was to
tired to file a complaint against the judge. I filed a tort claim and that did not go
through either. Despite having all the evidence and going through ALL the normal
Page 18 of 135
channels, I lost everywhere I turned. When I received the letter from O.P.M about my
disability retirement. I was happy.
Since I was fired the F.A.A., many employees have died from cancer, heart attacks,
strokes, or debilitating diseases. Many of them would not contribute their premature
deaths due to working in the water-damaged buildings in Washington, DC. One of my
remedies/reliefs that I mentioned in my affidavits was to help those who are still
working in those contaminated buildings in Washington, DC. They should be tested,
their homes, and they should receive health care or disability retirement. One of the
first casualties of the NASSIF BUILDING was a young mother who died working out
in the gym there. They should be compensated. My concern is for their families
because of cross-contamination. They have been bringing contamination from toxic
mold to their vehicles, homes, spouses, children, and grandchildren for years. Even
their pets can be exposed to toxic mold.
The 10 story, 4 quadrant building was GUTTED OUT after the Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) left & moved into their new building. The D.O.T.
employees were told not to take ANYTHING from the NASSIF BUILDING not
even a pen. All papers were scanned. How much did this cost the U.S. Federal
Government or should I say the taxpayers?
In 2010, it was confirmed by the prophet, Jeanne S. that it was a group of people who
put me and 3 generations of my family into this secret, lifetime generational human
subject research project. After careful analysis, the only place that I worked was the
F.A.A. When I started working with this woman who had a problem with my work,
the manager came back and told me that he never had any problem with my work. I
always remembered that one question that she asked me as she was looking me up and
down "Is that sik?" I was wearing a silk pantsuit that I brought from Neiman-Marcus.
Joanne K. had it in for me. The prophet told me that people were jealous of me and
that I did not have a jealous bone in my body. Yes To Justice
DID EXPOSING TOXIC MOLD IN U.S. FEDS BUILDINGS CAUSE LETITIA PETERS
& 3 GENERATIONS OF HER FAMILY TO BE INTENTIONALLY SELECTED TO BE
IN A NON-CONSENSUAL HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH/MEDICAL
EXPERIMENT?
This video was made in September 2009. It has taken me years to figure out what was
happening to me. People would say that you are just having a “string of bad luck”, but this
“bad luck” did not end, it actually got WORST.
Did exposing contamination of toxic mold to FAA Senior Management in several Federal
Government buildings in Washington, DC caused my family, friends, and loved ones to be
placed into non-consensual human experiments for the rest of our lives? Did they think
Page 19 of 135
that they could do this, not to only to me, but to my family, friends, and loved ones because
minorities have been categorized as one of the “UNDESIRABLES”?
I reviewed my life for the past 8 years and I have come to one conclusion. It was
inconceivable at first, but based on my knowledge and the preponderance of facts staring
me in my face: We, including my family, friends, & loved ones have been placed in a non-
consensual human subject research/medical experiment because on my complaints and
exposure about toxic mold exposure in several Federal Government buildings in
Washington, DC. Is it possible because I am a “whistle blower”? Was it also inconceivable
because there was jealous and even some bigotry and racism?
I have cried so many times thinking how could anyone do this to any human being. They
have no right to play “god” with my life or the lives of anyone that I love. The sad thing is
that they do not care about what happens to me or my loved ones. I was taught not to hate.
My paternal grandmother was bi-racial. I pray that the mercy of God rests on their souls
for what they did to my family, friends, and loved ones. The Creator/Yawheh will be our
vindicator, refuge, healer, deliverer, fortress, & redeemer.
Do you have health problems? Have you heard of “Sick Building Syndrome”? I didn’t either
until 6 years ago. I have never heard of the term “sick building syndrome” or that a building
could make you sick, because it was “…sick”. I went from being basically a healthy woman with
allergies, which I acquired from being in one “sick” building for 7 years. My immune system
was slowly being compromised due to my daily exposure of indoor toxic molds and mycotoxins
in several water-damaged buildings where I worked. Toxic Mold Exposure has been linked to
cause many diseases including CANCER. Many women develop breast cancer. As a result, I
have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, neuralgia, severe edema,
asthma (developed full-blown asthma which required me to be on an inhaler, but it disappeared
after I was out of the building for 1 year), toxic encephalopathy, and reversible airways disease. I
am doing my part to inform, educate, and bring awareness to this environmental disease. Did you
know that there are 500,000 deaths yearly in the U.S.A. due to exposure of indoor toxic mold
exposure? Based on an EPA study, they estimate that 50% of the nation’s schools have problems
linked to poor indoor air quality. In the video, I also refer to a poem written by a 13 years old girl
named Arielle Murray called Mold..The Destroyer. If a child can understand the implications
that mold can do to one’s body and quality of life, then why can’t adults get it? I don’t what has
happen to me to happen to others, especially to children. Children, like Arielle should be
enjoying their childhood and they should not have to go through this horrific disease. It is
written, “lack of knowledge my people will perish”. Let’s Break the Mold Together!! Please
share this video with everyone that you know it may save someone’s life. This video is located

WHAT ARE MOLDS AND MYCOTOXINS?
Page 20 of 135
We all know that molds are everywhere, but when an abundance of molds are indoors,
given the right conditions they can cause serious health consequences.
Molds are defined as microscopic forms of fungi.
Mycotoxins are toxins produced by certain molds which are poisonous to animals and
man.
There are over 100,000 species of molds.
About three dozen cause health problems in humans.
EPA, FEMA and CDC government agencies agree that mold starts to grow and spread
24 to 48 hours after water damage.
We have known for a long time about the health effects of molds:
History of Molds
Molds are mentioned in Leviticus in the Bible (Chapter 14) • Molds were used by the Spartans in
their war against Athens in 430 B.C. • There were 65 mold epidemics worldwide between 1591
and 1889 • 1920’s: Fatal kidney disease caused by mold in Denmark and the Balkans • 1930’s:
Stachybotrycosis:30% of horses in Russia from eating moldy hay • 1944: Alimentary Toxic
Aleukia epidemic in Russia from eating moldy bread; 10% of the population was affected and it
was often fatal • 1952: Aflatoxicosis: killed poultry that ate moldy corn (Aspergillus)
Biological Warfare • Used in Southeast Asia from 1974-1981
Indoor molds and the mycotoxins they produce have affected people from all walks of life and
ages. They do not discriminate; even some well-known celebrities have been affected. Even if
you can’t see or smell them in your school, workplace, or residence these mycotoxins are
capable of affecting you, your family, your co-workers, classmates, or loved ones’ health.
WHAT’S THE CONTROVERSY?
First, there are two schools of thoughts in the medical community:
One group believes that molds cause allergic responses only (i.e. asthma, fungal sinusitis) and
the other group has “scientific” evidence showing that inhalation to mycotoxins causes adverse
health effects and not just allergic responses only, but the controversy continues.
Second, we do not have any federal laws governing indoor air quality for molds.
Page 21 of 135
Finally, we have two bills pending, which are stalled in the U.S. Congress.
What is the purpose of National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month?
The purpose of National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month is to inform, educate, and raise
awareness about the adverse health effects due to exposure of indoor molds and mycotoxins.
What are molds?
Molds are a common name for fungi. Molds are microscopic organisms that produce enzymes to
digest organic matter and mold spores to reproduce. These organisms are part of the fungi
kingdom, a realm shared with mushrooms, yeast, and mildews. In nature, molds play a key role
in the decomposition of leaves, wood, and other plant debris. Molds need moisture to grow.
What are mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are toxic vapors produced by mold spores when they sporulate, or grow, and have
serious health effects on humans and animals. Mycotoxins are so poisonous that they have been
used as a biological war weapon. Stachybotrys chartarum is the most studied and well-known
toxic mold. It is known to produce trichothecene mycotoxins. Aspergillus produces aflatoxin
mycotoxins. Aflatoxins are among the most carcinogenic substances known.
How do you get sick from mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or contact with the skin, and can result
in a multitude of symptoms including but not limited to: dermatitis, cough, rhinitis, nose bleeds,
cold and flu-like symptoms, headache, general malaise and fever.
How can exposure to indoor mold and mycotoxins affect my health?
Mycotoxin exposure can lead to toxic injury that may include multiple illnesses, affecting the
skin and the nervous, vascular, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, urinary, and immune
systems; including the formation of cancers and can be life-threatening.
Can mold grow inside the human body?
Yes. Certain species of molds referred to as “body temperature molds” can live and grow inside
the human body, causing recurring infections and numerous other health problems as well as
death.
Should I use bleach to clean mold?
No. Bleach combined with certain mycotoxins and VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), can
create neurotoxins and brain tumors. OSHA does not recommend using bleach in mold
remediation. Ammonia dissolves some molds and neutralizes the mycotoxins. It is important to
follow safety guidelines when using cleaners to remove molds. Consult the EPA website for
proper personal safety equipment when removing mold. If mold growth is over 10 square feet,
the recommendation is to contact a professional who is experienced in cleaning up mold; either a
reputable, certified industrial hygienist (CIH) or a qualified mold remediation company.
Toxic Mold Fact Sheet
Page 22 of 135
The National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month Planning Committee developed this Toxic
Mold Fact Sheet to provide information about molds and mycotoxins. Currently, there are no
Federal Government Standards for indoor air quality regarding molds and mycotoxins. This
information is provided to inform the public on the preventable health and development
problems that may be caused by exposure to toxic mold in their homes, schools, and
communities.
Important Mold Facts: People are routinely exposed to more than 200 species of fungi indoors and outdoors. There are
sixty species that produce the 180 trichothecene mycotoxins. Mycotoxins kill other things, like
bacteria and viruses, so mold can continue to grow. The American Cancer Society lists aflatoxin
mycotoxins as known human carcinogens. The FDA has enforced regulatory limits on aflatoxin
concentrations in foods and feeds since 1965.
Mold spores, whether dead or alive, can cause adverse health effects. Molds also produce a large
number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are responsible for the musty
odors produced by growing molds.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
There is no practical way to eliminate all molds and mold spores in the indoor
environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any substance,
providing moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and
foods.
Clean and dry any damp or wet building materials and furnishings within 24-48 hours to
prevent mold growth.
Incidences: It is estimated that 500,000 deaths occur yearly in the United States due to exposure to indoor
toxic mold.
According to an EPA study, an estimated 50% of our nation’s schools have problems linked to
poor indoor air quality.
Health Causes: Mycotoxin exposure can lead to toxic injury that may include multiple illnesses, affecting the
skin and the nervous, vascular, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, urinary, and immune
systems; including the formation of cancers and can be life-threatening.
Studies: In the mid-1990’s, a study conducted from Cleveland, Ohio, involved infants who had died
suddenly from unexplained pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeding of the lungs). Upon investigation,
the researchers found that the infants resided in homes with high levels of Stachybotrys atra,
linking Stachybotrys atra exposure to serious health effects and even death. A government study
is now being conducted, with findings to be released in 2010.
Page 23 of 135
A 1997 Mayo Clinic study found that 96% of recurring sinus infections are caused by fungus in
the sinuses. When participants were treated with anti-fungal sinus sprays, recurrence of infection
was considerably less, and in some cases, no recurring infections were noted.
Fifty percent of the 937 children tested in a large multicity asthma study sponsored by the
National Institutes of Health showed sensitivity to mold, indicating the importance of mold as an
asthma trigger among these children. Molds are thought to play a role in asthma in several ways.
Molds produce many potentially allergenic compounds, and molds may play a role in asthma via
release of irritants that increase potential for sensitization or release of toxins (mycotoxins) that
affect immune response.

public about mold/mycotoxin health related issues. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or
prevent any disease or take the place of medical advice and treatment from your personal

“Citizens Want Justice for Human Rights Violations Now in America and Other Nations”
June 7, 2012-Trenton, NJ- Human rights should be fundamental rights for all people, regardless
of race, creed, gender or religion, but it isn’t in 2012. Recently, President Obama launched a new
campaign against human rights violators and to stop genocide worldwide. A video clip of
President Obama’s speech is available for your review at
http://www.cbn.com/media/player/index.aspx?s=/CWN/CWN042712_WS.
On April 23, 2012, President Obama issued an Executive Order which states …”determine that
the commission of serious human rights abuses against the people of Iran and Syria by their
governments, facilitated by computer and network disruption, monitoring, and tracking by those
governments, and abetted by entities in Iran and Syria that are complicit in their governments’
malign use of technology for those purposes, threaten the national security and foreign policy of
the United States. The Governments of Iran and Syria are endeavoring to rapidly upgrade their
technological ability to conduct such activities. Cognizant of the vital importance of providing
technology that enables the Iranian and Syrian people to freely communicate with each other and
the outside world, as well as the preservation, to the extent possible, of global
telecommunications supply chains for essential products and services to enable the free flow of
information, the measures in this order are designed primarily to address the need to prevent
entities located in whole or in part in Iran and Syria from facilitating or committing serious
human rights abuses.” You can read the full text of President Obama’s Executive Order at
http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2012/04/23/obama-declares-syria-national-emergency-outlaws-
reporting-rebels-126061/.
Page 27 of 135
According to the Los Angeles Times article, “U.S. put sanctions on telecom firms in Syria, Iran”
states, “There are other countries, perhaps, China, Cuba, or Russia, where technology firms are
also state-controlled and may also be implicated in human rights abuses,” Howard said. “It could
open the door to other kinds of diplomatic actions. The Syrian General Intelligence Directorate
has been implicated in serious human rights abuses, such as arbitrary arrests and the deaths of
detainees. Datak Telecom, an Internet Service provider in Iran, collaborated with the government
there to monitor, track and target people who tried to get around the regime’s blocking of
Internet content. You can read the full text of this article at
http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/23/business/la-fi-obama-tech-sanctions-20120424.
Even though America has been the forerunner for human rights in other nations, a group of
Americans are speaking out against America’s silent secret. Letitia Peters, an advocate and
survivor states, “We applaud America for its efforts to saving countless of lives worldwide for
human rights violators, but now Americans need you the help of America to stop human rights
violators and genocide in America. Our rights are not being enforced and the victims feel
powerless. We have severe network and computer disruptions just like the people in Syria and
Iran. We are being monitored, tracked, and targeted with information technology, but it also
includes torture with information and communications technology. Many of us are experiencing
cyber-bullying, phishing, and masquerading as well. This is happening in America, Europe,
Canada, and many other nations. I recently watched this Lifetime Movie called “Shadow of
Fear”,which is a true story of a young waitress and her terrifying experiences with a
schizophrenic stalker. When she turns to the police to help, they actually try to arrest her.
She finally learns that the stalker is well connected and that is why his records are
SEALED and she cannot get any help from the police. She just wants him to leave her
alone. Distraught, Casey (waitress) begins to withdraw from life. But when Morgan
(schizophrenic stalker) crosses the line and hurts the people Casey loves, she must find the
strength inside herself to stop living in fear, and finally put a stop to this dangerous
attraction. This story sounds like the life that many of us are living daily, but on a much
larger scale. She only dealt with this for 1 year and many of us have been dealing us this for
10, 15, and 20 years. I recently got this letter from President Obama about his latest campaign
and I pray that Congress, International leaders and local leaders will support to stop genocide and
human rights violators in America and worldwide now. This is a well orchestrated organization
with informants, perps, or contractors who are preventing this information from getting to the
right people to investigate these atrocities in America and worldwide. Many of us have sent our
request to opt-out of this unethical human subject research to Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, but to date, we have not heard from her. This is not only a moral
issue, but this is also a religious issue for many of us. I decree in Jesus’ name that the TIs will no
longer allow “fear” to control them, but that they will find the strength inside to stop living in
fear and do everything possible to work towards getting your life back. We can only stop this
evil by coming together and it is time to come together now while the door of opportunity is
opened. In a recent Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) documentary, Swimming In Auschwitz
(www.swimminginauschwitz.com), which depicts the stories of 6 survivors of the Holocaust,
one of the survivors said, “We made a big mistake. We never spoke up.”As a result of them
not speaking up, over six million Jewish men, women, and children were tortured,
executed, and killed. Do we want history to repeat itself? ” Is there a remnant of people who
Page 28 of 135
will stand up for justice like they did for Trayvon Martin? It is us today, but it could be you and
your loved ones tomorrow?
White House’s Response
Letitia’s letter from President Obama dated June 4, 2012
THE WHITE HOUSE
June 4, 2012
Dear Letitia:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Many Americans have written to me about
human rights around the world, and I appreciate your perspective.
The United States was founded on the principles of freedom and equality, and our history is
marked with triumphs and struggles in fulfilling these timeless ideals. Our task is not finished,
and
protecting these core values is a shared obligation and a priority for my Administration. No
nation
should be silent in the fight against human rights violations. When innocents in places like
Sudan,
Syria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo are raped, murdered, or tortured, it is a stain on our
collective conscience. I am committed to reinvigorating America’s leadership on a range of
international human rights issues.
As the struggle for human rights continues around the world, we have witnessed an
extraordinary change in the Middle East and NorthAfrica. Country by country, people have risen
up
across this region to demand their human rights; too often, these calls for change have been
answered
by violence. The United States opposes the use of violence and repression against these men and
women. Rather, we support a set of universal rights, including free speech, the freedom of
peaceful
assembly, freedom of religion, equality for men and women under the rule of law, and the right
of
people to choose their own leaders. We also support political and economic reform in the Middle
East and North Africa that can meet the legitimate aspirations of ordinary people throughout the
region. While change may not come easily, America will stand squarely on the side of those who
are
reaching for their rights, knowing their success will bring about a world that is more peaceful,
more
stable, and more just.
Page 29 of 135
As you may know, the United States has joined the United Nations Human Rights Council and
is working to make this body as effective as possible. My Administration will also advocate for
human rights in other international settings. In our relations with other countries, the issue of
human
rights will continue to be raised as clearly, persistently, and effectively as possible. Among other
things,we will continue to promote accountability for mass atrocities; respect for the rights of
minorities and women; freedom of association, speech, and religion; and freedom for people to
live
as they choose and love whom they chose.
Our commitment to human rights is an essential element of American foreign policy and
serves our national security. Through it, we will help to shut down torture chambers, replace
tyranny
with good governance, and enlist free nations in the common cause of liberty. To learn more
about
my Administration’s human rights agenda, please visit www.HumanRights.gov or
www.WhiteHouse.gov/CPo. Thank you, again, for writing.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
We are suffering severely, but let that stop you from seeking justice. We request the support of
all survivors to contact the following this week.
1. This is for International and National Survivors. Department of Homeland Security:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement:

Public Service Announcement: http://www.ice.gov/human-rights-violators/
Human rights violators, including those who have participated in war crimes and acts of
genocide, torture, extrajudicial killing, violations of religious freedom, and other acts of
persecution, frequently seek to evade justice by seeking shelter in the United States. These
individuals will frequently assume fraudulent identities to enter the country, seeking to blend into
American society and communities.
ICE places a high priority on targeting serious offenders through its Human Rights Violators and
War Crimes Unit. The unit mission is twofold. The first part is to prevent the admission of
foreign war crimes suspects, persecutors and human rights abusers into the United States. The
second part is to identify, prosecute and ultimately remove such offenders who are already
unlawfully in the United States and who have committed acts ranging from genocide, torture and
Page 30 of 135
war crimes to serious violations of religious freedoms or other forms of persecution. In
performing both missions, we work closely with our counterpart the Human Rights Law Division
(HRLD).

INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR ACTION FOR THOSE WHO ARE MONITORED,
TARGETED, TORTURED, & TRACKED WITH INFORMATION &
COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY BY FELLOW CITIZENS WORLDWIDE
“Citizens Want Justice for Human Rights Violations Now in America and Other Nations”
June 7, 2012-Trenton, NJ- Human rights should be fundamental rights for all people, regardless
of race, creed, gender or religion, but it isn’t in 2012. Recently, President Obama launched a new
campaign against human rights violators and to stop genocide worldwide. A video clip of
President Obama’s speech is available for your review at
http://www.cbn.com/media/player/index.aspx?s=/CWN/CWN042712_WS.
On April 23, 2012, President Obama issued an Executive Order which states …”determine that
the commission of serious human rights abuses against the people of Iran and Syria by their
governments, facilitated by computer and network disruption, monitoring, and tracking by those
governments, and abetted by entities in Iran and Syria that are complicit in their governments’
malign use of technology for those purposes, threaten the national security and foreign policy of
the United States. The Governments of Iran and Syria are endeavoring to rapidly upgrade their
technological ability to conduct such activities. Cognizant of the vital importance of providing
technology that enables the Iranian and Syrian people to freely communicate with each other and
the outside world, as well as the preservation, to the extent possible, of global
telecommunications supply chains for essential products and services to enable the free flow of
Page 32 of 135
information, the measures in this order are designed primarily to address the need to prevent
entities located in whole or in part in Iran and Syria from facilitating or committing serious
human rights abuses.” You can read the full text of President Obama’s Executive Order at
http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2012/04/23/obama-declares-syria-national-emergency-outlaws-
reporting-rebels-126061/.
According to the Los Angeles Times article, “U.S. put sanctions on telecom firms in Syria, Iran”
states, “There are other countries, perhaps, China, Cuba, or Russia, where technology firms are
also state-controlled and may also be implicated in human rights abuses,” Howard said. “It could
open the door to other kinds of diplomatic actions. The Syrian General Intelligence Directorate
has been implicated in serious human rights abuses, such as arbitrary arrests and the deaths of
detainees. Datak Telecom, an Internet Service provider in Iran, collaborated with the government
there to monitor, track and target people who tried to get around the regime’s blocking of
Internet content. You can read the full text of this article at
http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/23/business/la-fi-obama-tech-sanctions-20120424.
Even though America has been the forerunner for human rights in other nations, a group of
Americans are speaking out against America’s silent secret. Letitia Peters, an advocate and
survivor states, “We applaud America for its efforts to saving countless of lives worldwide for
human rights violators, but now Americans need you the help of America to stop human rights
violators and genocide in America. Our rights are not being enforced and the victims feel
powerless. We have severe network and computer disruptions just like the people in Syria and
Iran. We are being monitored, tracked, and targeted with information technology, but it also
includes torture with information and communications technology. Many of us are experiencing
cyber-bullying, phishing, and masquerading as well. This is happening in America, Europe,
Canada, and many other nations. I recently watched this Lifetime Movie called “Shadow of
Fear”,which is a true story of a young waitress and her terrifying experiences with a
schizophrenic stalker. When she turns to the police to help, they actually try to arrest her.
She finally learns that the stalker is well connected and that is why his records are
SEALED and she cannot get any help from the police. She just wants him to leave her
alone. Distraught, Casey (waitress) begins to withdraw from life. But when Morgan
(schizophrenic stalker) crosses the line and hurts the people Casey loves, she must find the
strength inside herself to stop living in fear, and finally put a stop to this dangerous
attraction. This story sounds like the life that many of us are living daily, but on a much
larger scale. She only dealt with this for 1 year and many of us have been dealing us this for
10, 15, and 20 years. I recently got this letter from President Obama about his latest campaign

human rights violators in America and worldwide now. This is a well orchestrated organization

evil by coming together and it is time to come together now while the door of opportunity is

(www.swimminginauschwitz.com), which depicts the stories of 6 survivors of the Holocaust,
one of the survivors said, “We made a big mistake. We never spoke up.”As a result of them

your loved ones tomorrow?

ICE places a high priority on targeting serious offenders through its Human Rights Violators and
War Crimes Unit. The unit mission is twofold. The first part is to prevent the admission of
foreign war crimes suspects, persecutors and human rights abusers into the United States. The
second part is to identify, prosecute and ultimately remove such offenders who are already

(Part 2 of 3) “Informants” Utilizes Products, Services & Estabishments as their
“Own Personal Playground” to Commit Crimes against Fellow U.S. Citizens
“Taking A Stand Against Injustice” Series (Part 2 of Part 3)
In the first article, we discussed about the rights of the non-consensual human subjects/TIs and
how the Federal law allows them the right to “opt-out” or discontinue participation at any time
without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled (45 CFR 46.116 (a)
(8). This request should be sent to the Department of Health & Human Services who is the
“authorized Federal agency” for human subject research. Many Americans have been placed in a
non-consensual human subject research, which violates Title 45 Public Welfare Part 46
Protection of Human Subjects, 45 CFR Subject A, “The Common Rule”, that has not been an
enforceable lawfully, promulgated regulation for the past 20 years. As a result, “the absence of
Federal jurisdiction over much privately funded research means that the U.S. Government cannot
know how many Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they
have been recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks they are
undertaking and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed.”
In this second article, we will discuss how these citizens are being monitored, tracked, and
targeted with technology for violence by fellow citizens, just like in Syria and Iran. The use of
technology is being used to perpetrate human rights abuses. This is an International epidemic and
Page 37 of 135
human rights atrocity. In his April 23, 2012 Executive Order, President Obama that Syria and
Iran has committed serious human rights abuses against their own people, facilitated by
computer and network disruption, monitoring, and tracking by those governments. He referred
to this as “digital guns for hire”. The Syrian General Intelligence Directorate has been implicated
in serious human rights abuses, such as arbitrary arrests and the deaths of detainees. Last year
U.S. officials ”encourage people all over the world to use digital media.. and denounced those
who harass, unfairly arrest, threaten or commit violent acts against the people who use these
technologies.” We will address the reasons why we believe that “digital guns for hire” or a more
suitable name “digital murder for hire” has infiltrated in the U.S. Kofi Annan, Secretary-general
of the United Nations said, “Human Rights are what reason requires and conscience demands.
They are us and we are them. Human rights are rights that any person has as a human being. We
are all human beings; we are all deserving of human rights. One cannot be true without the other.
The bar for justice has risen in this country so let’s expose the truth that fellow U.S. citizens are
monitoring, targeting, and tracking their own citizens with technology by Friday, May 25, 2012
so that they can enjoy a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Reconciliation cannot occur until
truth is exposed.
“Informants” Utilizes Products, Services, and Establishments as their “Own Personal
Playground” to Commit Crimes against Fellow U.S. Citizens
“U.S. Citizens seek Justice for “Digital Guns for Hire”, which Exceeds “Monitoring and
Surveillance” under the Auspices of National Security & War Against Terror”
May 24, 2012
Dear Presidents/CEOs/Executive Heads,
I am writing this letter to inform you about crimes that are being committed against your
customers, members, other employees, or students in your corporations, businesses, schools,
religious institutions, City/State/Federal Government and Organizations, by people who are
“confidential informants” ,“informants” or even those part of the
neighborhood watch”, or Intelligence Agencies contractors without your knowledge and consent.
In some cases, you may be very aware of this issue, but you are either threatened, been lied to, or
you are a willing participant. This is not just prolonged covert monitoring and surveillance, but
this is monitoring, targeting, and tracking your customers, members, employees or students for
no rhyme or reason. There are many grave human rights abuses being committed and we request
your immediate action and support to bring justice expeditiously for countless men, women,
children and even babies in the U.S. and worldwide. If it is happening in Syria and Iran, is it
possible that it could happen in the U.S.?
I am writing this letter publicly because my ability to communicate freely with others and the
outside world is very, very limited. I have constant computer and network disruptions on a daily
Page 38 of 135
basis. I, like so many others are being monitored, tracked, and targeted, like animals with
electromagnetic radiation technology, advanced electronics technology, implants,
biochemical/chemical/radiological weapons and information technology with COINTELPRO
tactics. We are referred to as a non-consensual human subject or as a Targeted Individual or TI
for short. There are countless men, women, and children in America and worldwide who are
unaware that they are victims and they do not attribute their ongoing “bad luck”; mishaps;
animal killings; or mysterious, untreatable, disabling “environmental” diseases to covert
operatives using old COINTELPRO tactics plus new weapons of war to terrorize or neutralize
or kill them. These professional, well-orchestrated intrusions induce excruciating pain,
exhaustion, terror, alienation, and results in behavior changes, which are sometimes aggressive
or violent. In addition, we are illegally being tortured, covertly harassed, abused, stalked
(individually or by gangs), and spied upon 24/7. Many who have tried to expose the truth by
telling their family, friends, or even the police have been wrongfully committed to mental
institutions, prisons, maimed or killed. This is generational and it may involve 3 to 4 generations.
Can you imagine children being exposed to this type of “torture” since they were babies or even
elderly people being abused as well? President Obama has waged a war against genocide. Will
you?
In his April 23, 2012 Executive Order “BLOCKING THE PROPERTY AND SUSPENDING
ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF CERTAIN PERSONS WITH RESPECT TO
GRAVE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES BY THE GOVERNMENTS OF IRAN AND SYRIA
VIA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY” states, “By the authority vested in me as President
by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies
Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as
amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I, BARACK
OBAMA, President of the United States of America, hereby determine that the commission of
serious human rights abuses against the people of Iran and Syria by their governments, facilitated
by computer and network disruption, monitoring, and tracking by those governments, and
abetted by entities in Iran and Syria that are complicit in their governments’ malign use of
technology for those purposes, threaten the national security and foreign policy of the United
States. The Governments of Iran and Syria are endeavoring to rapidly upgrade their
technological ability to conduct such activities. Cognizant of the vital importance of providing
technology that enables the Iranian and Syrian people to freely communicate with each other and
the outside world, as well as the preservation, to the extent possible, of global
telecommunications supply chains for essential products and services to enable the free flow of
information, the measures in this order are designed primarily to address the need to prevent
entities located in whole or in part in Iran and Syria from facilitating or committing serious
human rights abuses.” You can read the full text of President Obama’s Executive Order at

Letter from Representative Jim Guest

On October 10, 2007, Representative Jim Guest wrote a letter to employee of the Legislature and
friends, here’s a brief excerpt:
“This letter is to ask your help for the many constituents in our country, who are being affected
unjustly by electronic weapons, torture and covert harassment groups. Serious privacy violations
and physical injuries have been caused by the activities of those groups and their use of so-called
non-lethal weapons on men, women, and even children.
I am asking you to play a role in helping these victims and also stopping the massive movement
in the use of Verichip and RFID technologies in tracking Americans”….

Former PA Governor & 1 Yr. Contract that Targeted Peaceful Demonstrators
Do you recall the story about former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell who was horrified that
there was a one year contract between the State Office of Homeland Security and the Institute of
Terrorism Research & Response because of wrongful and improper reports being disseminated
about environmental groups, tax protesters, people at gay and lesbian rallies and even supporters
of more funding for education. He stated that “I am appalled that this contract was entered
into without my knowledge,” he said. “I am appalled that information was disseminated
about groups that were exercising their constitutional right to free speech and to protest.
They shouldn’t be on any list [of possible security threats]. This is extraordinarily
embarrassing. Were these people terrorists? Of course not,” he said. I disagreed with them
about a moratorium, but they were just exercising their constitutional rights to free speech.

Yes, it may be hard to believe, actually incomprehensible, but it is happening in America and in
many other nations worldwide. In a recent Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) documentary,
Swimming In Auschwitz (www.swimminginauschwitz.com), which depicts the stories of 6
survivors of the Holocaust, one of the survivors said, “We made a big mistake. We never
spoke up.” As a result of them not speaking up, over six million Jewish men, women, and
children were tortured, executed, and killed. Do we want history to repeat itself? We have
been declared as “enemy of the corporate” or “undesirables”, even though, we are law-abiding
citizens. We are doing what is right by speaking out against those who are abusing their
authority and exposing their sin. We cannot do it, without your support. It is us today, but it
could be you and your loved ones tomorrow. We must stop this before it is too late. Will
you stand up with us starting right now? We want to have an enjoyable Memorial Day
weekend like you.

Who are the Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs?
The Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs are whistleblowers, people of faith, people of color,
alternative media, journalists, human rights & peace workers, environmentalists, activists,
celebrities, dissidents and women, especially women who live alone. People with infirmities,
elderly people, and children are not exempt. Even the military is experimenting on its own;
without his or her informed consent. We are also referred to as Targeted Individuals or “TIs” for
short as well as, non-consensual human subjects. Even President Obama’s car is equipped with
electromagnetic pulses defenses.
Many heroes are risking their lives to stop the corruption that is happening around you every
day. Have you heard the story of Richard Taus, John Carman, Darlene Fitzgerald
(bordergate.net), or Rodney Stich? They are some of our heroes. Many have died, been
incarcerated, or even been committed to a mental institution. These heroes are listed on
www.defraudingamerica.com. They would whether do the right thing in order for justice to
prevail, than be silent, take a bribe, or look the other way. Many have suffered imaginable
pain, unless you lived through it. This is not being reported in your major newspapers or on the
nightly news, because they are being controlled. Many of you may not be aware of your rights if
a Federal Investigator contacts you. You may want to read, “IF AN AGENT KNOCKS”:

What are Electromagnetic Radiation and Electromagnetic Energy?
Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is a form of energy emitted and absorbed
by charged particles, which exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. EMR has
both electric and magnetic field components, which stand in a fixed ratio of intensity to each
other, and which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction
of energy and wave propagation. In vacuum, electromagnetic radiation propagates at a
characteristic speed, the speed of light.
Electromagnetic radiation is a particular form of the more general electromagnetic field (EM
field) that is defined as the field produced by moving charges. Electromagnetic radiation is
associated with only the type of EM field which is far enough away from the moving charges
that produced it, that absorption of the EM radiation no longer affects the behavior of these
moving charges.
In general, EM radiation (the designation ‘radiation’ excludes static electric and magnetic and
near fields) is classified by wavelength into radio, microwave, infrared, the visible spectrum we
perceive as visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The behavior of EM radiation
depends on its frequency. Lower frequencies have longer wavelengths, and higher frequencies
have shorter wavelengths, and are associated with photons of higher energy.
Page 41 of 135
Electromagnetic radiation composed of photons that carry minimum-ionization energy, or more,
(which includes the entire spectrum with shorter wavelengths), is therefore termed ionizing
radiation. (There are also many other kinds of ionizing radiation made of non-EM particles).
Electromagnetic-type ionizing radiation extends from the extreme ultraviolet to all higher
frequencies and shorter wavelengths, which means that all X-rays and gamma rays are ionizing
radiation. These are capable of the most severe types of molecular damage, which can happen in
biology to any type of biomolecule, including mutation and cancer, and often at great depths
from the skin, since the higher end of the X-ray spectrum, and all of the gamma ray spectrum,
are penetrating to matter. It is this type of damage which causes these types of radiation to be
especially carefully monitored, due to their hazard, even at comparatively low-energies, to all
living organisms.
Electromagnetic energy can be used to influence, disable or kill humans at a distance. The
spoken word of the hypnotist may be conveyed by modulate electromagnetic energy directly into
the subconscious parts of the human brain. Almost anything could be inserted into the target
brain-mind systems.
Electromagnetic energy could be used to prevent voluntary muscular movements, control
emotions & thus actions, produce sleep, transmit suggestions, interfere with both short-term and
long-term memory, produce an experience or delete an experience. A microscopic brain chip
can also be implanted.
Ionization and extreme types of molecular damage from X-rays and gamma rays
At the higher end of the ultraviolet range, the energy of photons becomes large enough to impart
enough energy to electrons to cause them to be liberated from the atom, in a process called
photoionisation. The energy required for this is always larger than about 10 electron volts (eV)
corresponding with wavelengths smaller than 124 nm (some sources suggest a more realistic
cutoff of 33 eV, which is the energy required to ionize water). This high end of the ultraviolet
spectrum with energies in the approximate ionization range, is sometimes called “extreme UV.”
(Most of this is filtered by the Earth’s atmosphere).
Effects of Radiation on the Human Body
Here are the effects of radiation on the human body: This information was taken from the
website: http://www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. In July 2005 the National
Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the preponderance of scientific evidence
shows that even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer or other health problem and
there is no threshold below, which exposure can be viewed as harmless. Here are the effects of
radiation on the human body:
Page 42 of 135
1. Hair- The losing of hair quickly and in clumps occurs with radiation exposure at 200 rems or
higher.
2. Brain – Since brain cells do not reproduce, they won’t be damaged directly unless the
exposure is 5,000 rems or greater. Like the heart, kills nerve cells and small blood vessels and
can cause seizures and immediate death.
3. Thyroid – The certain body parts are more specifically affected by exposure to different types
of radiation sources. The thyroid gland is susceptible to radioactive iodine. In sufficient
amounts, radioactive iodine can destroy all or part of the thyroid. By taking potassium iodide,
one can reduce the effects of exposure.
4. Blood System- When a person is exposed to around 100 rems, the blood’s lymphocyte cell
count will be reduced, leave the victim more susceptible to infection. This is often referred to as
mild radiation sickness. Early symptoms of radiation sickness mimic those of flu and may go
unnoticed unless a blood count is done. According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show
that symptoms may persist for up to 10 years and may also have an increased long-term risk for
leukemia and lymphoma.
5. Heart- Intense exposure to radioactive material at 1,000 to 5,000 rems would do immediate
damage to small blood vessels and probably cause heart failure and death directly.
6. Gastrointestinal Tract – Radiation damage to the intestinal tract lining will cause nausea,
blood, vomiting and diarrhea. This occurs when the victim’s exposure is 200 rems or more. The
radiation will begin to destroy the cells in the body that divide rapidly. These including blood,
GI tract, reproductive and hair cells, and harms their DNA and RNA of surviving cells.
7. Reproductive Tract - Because reproductive tract cells divide rapidly, these areas of the body
can be damaged at rem levels as low as 200. Long-term, some radiation sickness victims will
become sterile.
COINTELPRO + Hi-Technology
This is a well-organized, well-funded, well-connected, well-orchestrated operation with vast
resources across state lines and Internationally. Since the U.S. Patriot Act, there is no oversight
of the Intelligence Agencies, Dept. of Defense, and Dept. of Homeland Security. COINTELPRO
is an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program. Wikipedia states, “it was a series of covert, and
often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureaus of Investigation (FBI)
aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.
COINTELPRO tactics included discrediting through targets through psychological warfare,
planting false reports in the media, smearing through forged reports, harassment, wrongful
imprisonment, extralegal violence and assassination. COINTELPRO took place between 1956
and 1971. Officially, COINTELPRO was termination in April 1971, but was it? The last major
Congressional investigation of COINTELPRO operations was conducted in 1976-1978 by the
Church Committee. These horrifying reports did not provide any effective legislative remedies
for future victims. Nor did they produce any prosecutions of proven criminals within the Justice
Page 43 of 135
Department. All of them returned to their life of government crime. Not only did
COINTELPRO seek to defame, neutralize, discredit, and destroy the more militant
organizations of that day, the Black Panther Party, Republic of New Afrika, Nation of
Islam, American Indian Movement, anti-war, socialist and communist organizations; but it
also targeted anyone who stood up against racism and oppression, and who challenged
federal and state government to correct these ills and change its policies. There are hundreds
of political prisoners who have been incarcerated upwards of 40 years as a direct result of this
heinous program and should be exonerated and released from prison. How long must they and
their families continue to suffer? Many of them were young people and now they are elderly
people who are still being punished by the “illegal and unconstitutional system”.
Thus COINTELPRO covert operations have continued to the present, but now it has been
unleashed to neutralize the target by including high-technology. An outline of court cases related
to COINTELPRO or COINTELPRO-like programs (ongoing investigations of disfavored
organizations for political, rather than legitimate law-enforcement purposes, often using
harassment, break-ins, provocateurs, etc. to disrupt them) are available on The COINTELPRO
Casebook’s website at www.icdc.com/~paulwolf/cointelpro/law/cointelprocasebook.htm.
Who Could Be “Informants” or “Perps”?
Basically, any employee, customer, member, or students could be an informant. Even children
are involved in this. In his analysis, retired attorney and 57 year non-consensual human subject
and COINTELPRO survivor Robert S. writes that an example of typical COINTELPRO
operations is the
“Ability to arrange for numerous local people to participate in elaborate harassment operations.
The FBI maintains an army of people throughout the nation who work at full-time at regular
jobs, but who are available at any time to carry out whatever special work assignments the FBI
gives them to perform. The FBI calls these people “informants”. The victims of harassment by
these people call them “perps” (short for perpetrators).”
In the 13 page article by D.T. Stockton called United States Terrorism and Repression Against
Its Own People states,
“All doormen, maintenance workers, superintendents, management companies, which I have
investigated and observed in the past several years are government-controlled informants
involved in these unscrupulous and illegal activities. I have also found this to be true with airline
and airport employees.
Parking lot and garage companies and corporations have also fallen prey to these actions. Many
security guards and security companies, home security companies are also controlled under the
intelligence agencies.
Also, many secretaries and receptionists of politicians are controlled informants who are spying
on them, often blocking people and information such as deleting emails, voicemails and
intercepting letters from getting to the politicians.”

“Informants” and FBI/DHS in the News and Proposed Informant Legislation
On February 7, 2012 Fox News broadcast a segment called, “Informants Gaming the System”.
During this broadcast, they undercover, that “informants cut deals and continue their life of
crime- murderers, con men and thieves are just some of the people our Government is
paying to help fight crime, trading information in exchange for money or lighter
sentences.” You can read the several stories pertaining to the FBI informants at
www.myfoxboston.com/subindex/news/undercover. You can also read “The ex-FBI Informant
with a Change of Heart: “There is no real hunt. It’s fixed” by Paul Harris at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/20/fbi-informant. The American Free Press has
interviewed many non-consensual human subjects. In their April 23 & 30, 2012 edition of the
American Free Press, www.AmericanFreePress.net, “Press Targeted by DHS” details how Laura
Poitras, an Oscar and Emmy- nominated filmmaker and intrepid journalist who has been targeted
and the DHS has been forced to admit that in six years they never found anything to justify their
continuing abuse and harassment other than they didn’t like her expressing non-official
viewpoints. You can read the April 17, 2012 Washington Post article, “DOJ review of flawed
FBI forensics processes lacked transparency” by Spencer S. Hsu. Alexandra Natapoff, a Loyola
Law School Professor, the author of the book, “Snitching, Criminal Informants, & the Erosion of
American Justice” and an expert on informants has briefed Congress about their used of
criminals as “informants”. Her website is www.snitching.org. Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-
MA) is author of the Confidential Informant Accountability Act of 2011, H.R. 3228, which
would require Federal law enforcement agencies to report to Congress serious crimes,
authorized, as well as, unauthorized, committed by their confidential informants, to amend title
28, United States Code, with respect to certain tort claims arising out of the criminal misconduct
of confidential informants and for other purposes.
How the Informants use COINTELPRO Tactics on the Non-consensual Human
Subjects/TIs?
Employees, members, customers, or students “informants” are corrupting, utilizing, and
exploiting your (1) other employees, members, or students (2) products, (3) services, or (4)
establishments for their own personal gain. Children are even involved. Children are being
“mobbed” in school. They are using our dwellings and our vehicles as well. Now, they are using
your businesses, organizations, churches, and schools as their “own personal playground” to do
whatever they want to, without any regards to the law. Up to now, they have been able to keep it
“under wraps”. Now, it is time to expose what has been in dark for so many decades. They have
the ability to obtain cooperation of your employee, as well as, your members or customers to
perform various forms of COINTELPRO tactics on a consistent basis. The rights, safety, and
welfare of the non-consensual human subjects/TIs have been affected. Listed below are the 21
examples of COINTELPRO tactics used by the informants, which are either authorized or
unauthorized:
1. Cyber stalking – The informant is stalking the non-consensual human subjects/TIs via the
internet
2. Electronic Harassment (via phone): The informant is sending direct energy through the
phone. The informant tries to keep the non-consensual human subjects/TIs on the phone
Page 45 of 135
as long as possible. When the non-consensual human subjects/TIs gets off the phone,
they have a headache, feel fatigue, face breaks out, heart rate increases,
3. Electronic Harassment (in person): The informant or (in many cases, customers or
visitors) are using the cell phone as a device or they have their hands in their pockets,
which contain the electromagnetic weapon. It can also be on their clothing or in a purse.
They are using a biological agent or toxin as a weapon or with a reckless disregard for the
safety of human life. In addition, they are using eye targeted lasers or lasers.
4. Vehicular stalking – using business vehicles to follow the non-consensual human
subjects/TIs by going pass his/her residence, workplace, or location whereever his/her is
at that particular time. They are shooting eye targeted lasers, lasers, or using their
computer or phone.
5. The informant is not concern who else may be affected when he/she is using these
chemicals, toxins, and electromagnetic radiation on food, product, clothing, vehicles and
on personal property. They are using these toxins on any item/document received/brought
by the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. There is a great chance for cross-
contamination to occur. The non-consensual human subjects/TIs are contaminating their
vehicles, dwellings, or workplace. In addition, the informants are affecting or damaging
the products or the employer’s property/establishment.
6. The informant refuses to elevate issue to someone else or gives the issue to someone who
is also an informant or perp. They want to keep it all within “the family.”
7. Altering or tampering with any information/records pertaining to the non-consensual
human subjects/TIs. Encrypted passwords are even changed.
8. The informant can be arrogant, rude, angry, accusatory, or disrespectful to the non-
consensual human subjects/TIs. In the Presidential Proclamation, it states, “These stalkers
inspire fear through intimidation, explicit or implied threats and nonconsensual
communication often by telephone, text message, or email that can cause physical and
emotional distress” to the non-consensual human subjects/TIs.
9. One of the maneuvers is to divert time and energy. The informant does not follow their
own rules, laws, or regulations when it comes to the non-consensual human subjects/TIs.
The informant gives the non-consensual human subjects/TIs the runaround. They are
always looking for a “loophole”.
10. The informant discontinues service or set them up with new service without the consent
or knowledge of the non-consensual human subjects/TIs.
11. The informant orders one product, but receives the wrong product (This can happen
several times, before it is corrected).
12. The informant ignore the non-consensual human subjects/TIs requests made by him or
her in writing or verbally.
13. The non-consensual human subjects/TIs buys a new product, but he/she receives a
defective, modified or tampered with (used) product. This new product maybe affected
by electromagnetic radiation. The unassuming non-consensual human subjects/TIs use
the product realizing later that some of the features are not working. In many cases the
non-consensual human subjects/TIs attempt to return the product, but they refuse to
accept it or they receive one with the same problem. The “informant” or “perp” insists
that it is a “new product”. No one could have tampered with this, because there is no sign
of break-in. This is called “covert entry”. The Federal Government intelligence agencies
and law enforcement officials are the only ones who are authorize to receive this
Page 46 of 135
specialized training. Have the Federal Government or law enforcement officials been
teaching “covert entry”, which is a trade secret to these “informants”, some who are
former criminals, murderers, or drug users to enter not only products, but also our
dwellings, vehicles, and workplaces bypassing any secured locks, windows, and alarm
system ?
14. The informant is participating in the libel and slander campaign against the non-
consensual human subjects/TIs.
15. The informants are creating “work assignments” without work orders, therefore
eliminating a paper trail. This has happened with cable or phone services. Sometimes,
the problem is caused by an outside source or the informant is acting like he/she is doing
“work” on behalf of the employer, but he/she is not. Many have stated that they feel
fatigue or had headaches after their service was “worked on”.
16. The “informant” will threaten, coerce, and get others to participate or to “look the other
way”.
17. If the non-consensual human subjects/TIs are entitled to money, there is usually a “long”
delay in receiving it or he/she never receives it. The excuse is that this was due to “human
error”.
18. The non-consensual human subjects/TIs are being financially destroyed. (a) They are
overcharged for services. Many non-consensual human subjects/TIs have complained of
high utilities bills, phone bills, or even credit card bills. Unbeknownst to the non-
consensual human subjects/TIs, the neighbor “informants” have broken into their homes,
while they are sleeping or away and hare using their services or changes were made
within their dwelling, which caused their extremely high utility bills. Many have reported
that they are paying 2 to 3 times than someone else and there is nothing that the non-
consensual human subject/TIs can do about it. (b) Documents are “generated” or
“created” with higher amounts or late fees. It looks like the “real McCoy”, but it is a
FRAUD to get as much money out of the non-consensual human subjects/TIs as possible.
The neighborhood “informants”, possibly part of the “neighborhood watch” have broken
into their homes, while they are sleeping or when he/she went out and there is no sign of
a break-in and have taken their original “documents”. Now, the “original” documents are
no longer in the possession of the non-consensual human subject/TIs and have been
replaced with these new “generated” or “created” documents. Many do not realize that
this is happening. (c) The “informant” are working together to ensure that the bills are
higher from the “field” informant to the “office” informant. (d) The non-consensual
human subjects/TIs have lost their job and are unable to get another one because of an
informant.
19. If the non-consensual human subjects/TIs request that an investigation is done. The final
report usually concludes that there is insufficient evident against the “informant’s”
employer. No one is ever persecuted or held accountable.
20. The informant is working with others “informants” in the private sector, City, State, and
Federal Government agencies in America (interstate and intrastate) and Internationally. It
is one big, cohesive, secret family. Private or personal information is given to countless
of interstate, intrastate, and International “informants” and those who do not need-to-
know about the non-consensual human subjects/TIs, as well as, about other members of
their families down to the three and fourth generations.
Page 47 of 135
21. The informant is responsible for exacerbating pre-existing diseases or sicknesses, or
creating new diseases or sicknesses of the non-consensual human subjects/TIs.
Informants have even intentionally dosed non-consensual human subjects/TIs with high
concentrations of chemicals, toxins, lethal weapons, and electromagnetic radiation.
Others have been implanted with implants, which will change a person’s DNA and cause
cancer. Some informants, like physicians have denied medical treatment or did not follow
the medical protocol prescribed for the symptoms of the non-consensual human
subjects/TIs. Many consensual human subjects/TIs have stated that even though they
have noticeable symptoms that the physicians have can be seen with the naked eye, the
medical tests ALWAYS return normal. Are the medical tests being altered as well?
Some of My Personal COINTELPRO Tactics Examples
Our taxpayer’s dollars are being used to prevent the non-consensual human subjects/TIs from
making a living, or even run a business. Currently, they are using a common maneuver known
as placing a “snitch jacket” or “bad jacket” on an activist, in order to damage the activist’s
effectiveness and generate “confusion, distrust, and paranoia”. This maneuver is used to divert
time and energy. I am being prevented from running and conducting a successful business, as
well as, living a normal life. Is anyone willing to pay my consultant’s fee for the harassment for
your “informant” employees’ participation? Time is money and I have wasted a lot of time. I
have good work ethics. This has caused me great emotional, financial, and physical distress. I am
a consumer and I expect the same level of quality in your products and services that you would
give to any of your valued customers without any added benefits. I should not be treated any
differently, because these people are doing unscrupulous activities, while working. I, like all of
the non-consensual human subjects/TIs are unable to bypass these “preps” or
“gatekeepers” because they have been assigned to address our issues. They are being told
what to say and do to me. Even prisoners and pets are treated better than this. I am bringing these
issues to your attention so that justice can prevail because they do not want me to go to the CEOs
or Presidents. There are so many that I would have to go to that I do not have the energy, time or
resource. According to many of the non-consensual human subjects/TIs, they have been
experiencing this type of harassment for years. Is anyone willing to pay my medical expenses for
the next 10 years due to being exposed to toxins, biological agents, or electromagnetic radiation
by your employees? These informants should be held accountable for their actions. They have
gone far beyond “routine monitoring”. We just want our lives back.
As a former Federal Government electronics engineer, I do understand this technology. I have
filed police reports in NJ and PA. In Md., the police filed “events” so that they would not have to
investigate my allegations. I have filed a complaint with the F.B.I. in Newark, NJ. Last year, I
sent Cease and Desist Letters to the Trenton Mayor and NJ Governor’s Office and this week, I
sent another letter about the retaliation and the lack of support from them. In addition, I
requested the immediate arrest of 1 family and 2 individuals in my neighborhood. I also faxed
letters to Senators Lautenberg & Menendez and Congressman Holt requesting assistance. I sent
several opt-out requests to Dept. of Health and Human Services and to the Congressional
representatives listed above, but there has been no word. I will hold everyone responsible for
their lack of actions, including the staffers, because many of them are “informants”. According
to Federal law, we can opt-out of a human subject research at any time, especially one which
Page 48 of 135
violates the Common Rule. They are using this technology against my family and they are trying
to intimidate me to be silent or be homeless. I have nothing to lose because I have the TRUTH
and the TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAIL.
Here are some of the major issues that are affecting me from running a successful business and
to live a normal life.
The Establishments: The moment I stop outside my parent’s house, the
vehicles racing up and down the street is heightened. This has been referred to as “street
drama”. I feel like I am the fox in a fox hunt. Since electromagnetic radiation is invisible to
the naked eye, no one will know that it is there unless you are looking for it. Many
establishments do not have an infrared security camera, which will capture all of this.
Sometimes, I cannot go into a store because the contaminants are so strong. Other times, I have
gotten so sick from the exposure that it took me days or weeks to recuperate. I filed police
reports against several establishments and the police did not have the food tested to see what was
causing me to be sick. I called the health dept. and even private companies, but to no avail. I
even went to the Governor’s office and they did not assist me. The police report to “an event” so
that it would not be investigated. I sent an overnight letter or fax request to several
establishments to do not destroy or overwrite their security tapes, because it should have
captured the “informants” on camera. The police depts. failed to investigate any of the crimes in
NJ, PA, and MD. Last week, I could not go out to enjoy my birthday because of the
possibility of being “intentional poisoned” and then for it to be covered up. I am getting
tired of carrying my bags of evidence around so that they will not steal it. This week, I
made a very hard decision to attend my oldest niece’s college graduation and leave the
house unoccupied all day or stay home while my entire family attended so that I can save
the residual evidence. Even though I had the most excruciating migraine due to the
targeting of my head, I would have made it. I sacrifice that one day so that she will not have
to endure this for the rest of her life. This weekend, I am planning to attend her graduation
party. In Jesus’ name, I pray that arrests need to be made by Friday, May 25, 2012 and
that Congress or the President will react expeditiously. Now I am being threatened to keep
silent or be homeless. Isn’t this violation of Tampering with a Witness, Victim or Informant
18 USC 1512 to obstruct justice by intimidation?
Internationally Being Targeted, Monitored, & Tracked (This should be brought to the
Secretary of State’s attention): Two weeks ago, I was locked out of my Hotmail account and I
was in this continuous loop. I searched the Internet and came across this company who provided
tech support for Hotmail. I contacted them and I was told by this “tech” named Nick Nelson that
227 emails were sent from my computer requesting people’s financial data. I entered a contract
with them for 3 years that they would provide all of the tech support for my computer. I later
found out that companies like DNF Global Solutions are ripping people off. The name of this
company is DNF Global Solutions who are located in India. The “tech” installed this Super
AntiSpyware virus, which made my computer slower and infected my computer with viruses; my
files were being deleted, uploaded and files were hidden. After I did my research, I learned that
was a rogue virus to annoy me and to infect my computer, which it did. The scary part is that
they were able to unblock my Hotmail account. I changed all of my passwords. While, I was
speaking to them, someone gained access to my online banking account. They became the
Page 49 of 135
Administrative of the computer and I have not been able to repair it. I was told to call 866-921-
5154 for tech support. They were calling me various phone numbers from 661-748-0244, 661-
748-0240, 661-748-0242, 661-380-3000, 661-748-0245, but when I called the numbers back, it
did not go through. I thought that was odd. After they failed to answer my questions, I decided to
terminate the relationship. I spoke to a manager named Sonya who was shooting the “energy”
over the phone. There is no DNF Global Solutions with Mike Hughes as the President. 866-921-
5154 is the Toll-free number to an all-inclusive exotic vacation; http://allinclusive-adult-
vacations.com/desinaion.htm, as well as, to an India phone number. The phone numbers that the
“technicians” were calling from apparently were fraudulent because many people were
complaining about how they were unethical telemarketers. My computer has not crashed so the
forensics can be obtained off it to get their IP Address so that their illegal activities can be
stopped. Even though I brought System Mechanic Premium $60.00, and the Administrator on the
computer is not allowing the Cd to run, but allowed the recovery console, which was on the c
drive to run. I never downloaded the SW so it could not repair the computer. I even told the Best
Buy representative that the computer is not allowing the SW to run to fix the computer. I was
told that I had to buy the same product, because of copy right infringements. I did not open the
new SW package because I know what would happen. I decided to buy another computer on
5/23/2012. I decided to check out if this was indeed a new computer. This is what I did to
determine. I went to Control Panel, selected Systems & Security, selected Administrative Tools
and selected Event Viewer. In Event Viewer, I selected Windows Logs and Applications and
Services Logs and searched them and I learned that there were some recent activities on May 6,
2012. There were no setup events, some features were blocked out, and I changed the feature
under properties to do not overwrite because I wanted to save the history. Then I went to the
installed programs and saw that Adobe Flash player and Bing bar was installed on May 6, 2012.
In order to install the Bing Bar and Adobe Flash player, you have to be connected to the Internet,
but there’s no activity for the Internet Explorer. My files are changing to hidden files or to
shortcuts so now there is a virus on this one as well even though Norton is running. Everything
was sealed perfectly. It did not look like it had been opened. This is where the ability to reseal
products, without any evidence of it being opened comes into play. By the way, I am not been
connected to the Internet. I have been on Microsoft Word all day. Are there any special operation
forces or law enforcement working in Wal-mart’s electronics department? How was this
possible?
Our Health: Since 2009, all of our health has declined due to the move in of our new
neighbors. I am very concerned about my elderly parents’ health. My once very healthy and
very active elderly parents now complain about aches and pains, headaches, bloodshot
eyes, diarrhea, certain part of the body hurting. My father has myeloma, which could be a
contributing factor to the environment. This was confirmed by his oncologist and it is even
mentioned on the Dept. of Veteran Affairs’ website. Many of their family members, friends,
and associated come to the house under the auspices of seeing them, but now they are coming to
contaminate the house with more toxins by getting me. It would be hard to believe that almost
everything that we buy is contaminated from stores in NJ or PA. I filed a complaint because
when I went to CVS and brought 2 products, Arizona Green Tea and CVS Cheese Doodles.
Minutes after eating or drinking the products, my throat, my mouth and down in my esophagus
broke out in blisters. I tried to contact both companies, but I was being blocked from contacting
them. We live in a semi-attached house and my neighbors have used a generator inside their
Page 50 of 135
house against the wall that we share. A generator produces electromagnetic radiation. This was
one irrefutable fact that I sent to the Mayor and to the Governor’s office about them, but I know
that my faxes are being intercepted. I have to go there in person like I did last May. We all have
implants or some medical devices, which the Stanley Stud Sensor 150 ($15.00 at Wal-mart)
picks up. I tried running a stud sensor on a complete stranger and it did not beep once, so I know
that we are implanted with something. Implants change your DNA according to L.A.
Marzulli. You can listen to him on Thursdays from 7 to 9 pm CST. You can listen live at
858-216-3403 ext. 123456# or you can speak to L.A. Marzulli at 1-800-787-5044.
Constant Computer and Network Disruptions: This has been consistent every day, even
with this “new” computer now. There has never been a time in the past 5 ½ years, which I
did not have some type of computer or network disruptions. As a result, I am not able to
communicate freely with others or send information to others. I feel like I am a slave.
Email Accounts: My email messages are delayed or never delivered, returned undelivered
several days later, or people are receiving the emails days later after my event. My email
messages are rearranged, edited, or deleted. I have been told that my emails are being
compromised; data changed or attachments are missing. I got a permanent failure message from
my own email account, which I had created a couple of days later. This is my biggest problem
because either (1) not all of the people who are on the email lists are receiving my emails in a
timely fashion, without any modification or (2) my emails are being re-routed to people who
were not on my email list. Then I received a message from someone who has an attitude, because
they received a message about God or prayer. I had to stop using one email account because I
kept getting an error message and I could not attach any documents. The only people that I
hear from are informants. All emails to the media are never delivered.
Websites/Blogs: In attempt to get the word out about my organization and events, I have
developed blogs and recently paid someone to develop a website. The content of the websites are
altered, deleted, or completely taken down. The passwords are changed on the blogs. People are
being redirected to an earlier version of my blogs or websites, which does not contain the
information about the current event. This is even true for my paid website. People have received
a message that my website/blog no longer exists or is under maintenance. I am blocked from
sending information on many websites.
Social Networks: I am not able to enjoy the full benefits of the services like all of the millions of
customers have been receiving email messages from my social network account indicating that
[such and such] has accepted your invitation. For example, when I went to the profile of one
person, I found out that she lived in the suburbs of Trenton, NJ and she was only in her 20’s. I
sent her an instant message and told her that I did not know her and how did she get on my
friends list. After I sent that message, someone removed her name off of my friends list
immediately. My latest acceptance was from my uncle who is in his 70’s. First, I did not send
him an invite and second, I did not know that he had a social network account. I thought that
social networks are an excellent tool to promoting my events, but I have been unsuccessful in
inviting people to my events because every single time, I get an error message and after 2 or 3
times of trying, I just give up. Even though, I reported that someone has been stalking me to
Page 51 of 135
them, now I got a message that I will lose my privileges, because someone has reported that I
sent them invitations, which I did not?
Hosting Conference Calls: I have been unsuccessful in hosting conference calls, unlike my
other 2 fellow organizations who use the same service. When I called conference call’s website
first it said that my pin was being utilized by another person. After the 3rd attempt, that message
was no longer there; now the number was being redirected somewhere. It never connected to the
conference call’s website to allow me to host my conference call. I verified the call id number
and pin number several times and it was correct. I called back and the same thing happened. I
reset my cell phone. I called back and the same thing happened. After 30 minutes, I decided to
get my parent’s landline phone. I called the conference call’s website number, enter my pin
number and call id number and the problem persisted and it never connected to conference call’s
website. The duration time on the phone was running, but I could not host my internet show. I
sent emails to them about the problems, which stopped when I said that I needed the
name/address of the attorney so that I could send a CEASE and DESIST letter to them.
Obviously, one can conclude that my phone calls are being redirected. Why did I go that far until
the harassment stopped?
Broadband Modem: This broadband Modem has never worked properly since July 2011.I had
one previously several years ago and I did not have any problems. I have spent hours on the
phone with customer representatives since July 2011. I overlooked the problems thinking that I
was not getting a good signal. I missed conference calls that I was suppose to host because my
broadband modem kept getting error messages. Even though there is a strong signal, the
problems persist. When I dialed in, I get the same repeated messages and when I called customer
service, I am told that this problem is on their end. I stopped calling the customer service and just
documented all the problems and the error messages. I have an airtight case that proves that all of
the problems are coming from there. I believe the vehicles that are speeding excessively beyond
the 25 m.p.h. are sending “energy” that affects the Broadband Modem.
Mobile Phone: I purchased this new phone during the Thanksgiving weekend. I was supposed to
have free delivery, but there was nowhere on the website for that option so I selected 3 days and
it cost me $4.95. Within the 30 days to return the phone, I called customer service because I
wanted a refund and a new phone. After being transferred 3 times, the call was disconnected or
the person hung up on me. When I activated the new phone immediately I received text
messages and phone calls from people that I did not know. I only gave this new number out to
less than 10 people. When I went to set-up my voicemail, it was already set-up. I am receiving
“network failure” when I call and I have 2 or 3 bars displayed, which indicates a strong signal.
The customer service representative is trying to keep me on the phone longer than I need to be
and every time I did not feel good after speaking to someone.
Internet Phone: People have informed me they have called my office number 347-568-3537
and that they have received a message saying that this number is out of order. This is a vanity
number so I am paying extra for a number, which says “out of order” all the time.
Customized Laptop: I brought this customized laptop, but there have been numerous problems.
Even though my laptop was under warranty, I was recently sent a “recertified hard drive”, which
Page 52 of 135
crashed after less than 3 hours of usage. I was not on the Internet. The factory installed software
has many software problems each and every time. Many of the features do not work. A product,
which I paid for, took 3 tries before, they got it right. I paid for it in order to expedite delivery
and they did not want to give me a refund because of their “human error”. The customer service
representative is trying to keep me on the phone longer than I need to be and every time I did not
feel good after speaking to someone.
Mailing Services: There has been interception of my most important letters, long delays in
delivery; and tampering with contents. There have been contaminants on almost all of my mail
that we receive in this house and at my post office box. I filed my complaint with the Post Office
and someone returned my call, without identifying himself or leaving any contact information
said that there could not be anything on the mail. He stated that since anthrax all of the mail is
screened for any contaminants. This would mean one thing that the contaminants are being
placed on all of our mail after the screening process. I had one package tested and it tested for
molds/mycotoxins. I had a certified Industrial Hygienist analyze the report and he determined
that due to the exposure, I may develop tumors in the next 10 years. He also determined that this
was HAZMAT. How many people are handling the mail after that process? Who should I send
the bill to be reimbursed for the testing, analysis by the Certified Industrial Hygienist and the
contamination of my Coach briefcase?
Alarm/ Security System: A security system should keep burglars out and protect your personal
belongings and property, but these “informants” are able to bypass the security system, secured
windows, secured doors and enter our dwellings, without any signs or evidence of a break-in.
They are also able to commit thefts without showing any signs of a break-in for vehicles as well.
This is called “covert entry”. Special Operations Forces and Law Enforcement Officers are
taught their tactical covert entry skills. Are they teaching informants, some who are thieves,
drug users and murderers this expertise? If they are doing this, it is a violation of Federal laws.
Who should pay the claims for the stolen, damaged, or contaminated contents in this house: the
security system company or the Federal Government? My car has been broken into and they
have placed my possessions that were in the house in the car. This is called “gas lighting”.
Information Changed on Copyrighted Materials: There has been illegal access to products
without leaving any evidence of opening the packages. I had brought brand new software
wrapped in the plastic and one day when I went to use it, the plastic was missing. When I
installed the software, some of the features were deactivated or missing. I have problems with
flash drives, memory cards, cameras, printers, software, and mobile phones. Some of the features
are deactivated. This is copyright infringement.
Theft/Tampering of Information/Records: My records have been changed, deleted, altered or
stolen. They were stealing complete folders of my bank accounts records, insurance, etc. They
want to make me as financially poor. My folder became empty or they left one piece of paper or
a couple. If someone came after me for a bill, I would not have any way to dispute that it was
wrong or right. I had to stop being so organized. This also included my email accounts.
Recently, I was in my parent’s house alone and I had just included the name of the person who I
was speaking to on the phone in my May 10th entry of my Franklin Covey planner. I took
meticulous notes about that company DNF Global Company. Someone bypassed the locks and
Page 53 of 135
took my banking information and my entire month of May in a matter of minutes. I knew where
I had it because I always keep it in my yellow pad, which I carry with me all the time.
Federal Government Has a Long History of Discrediting Non-Consensual Human Subjects
First, the U.S. has a 110 year history of experimenting on its own people without his or her
consent. It is safe to say that the U.S. has a lot of experience in this area. One famous African-
American writer, Gloria Naylor wrote a book, called “1996”, a fictionalized memoir about her
experience under Government surveillance. Eileen Welsome, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and
author of The Plutonium Files: America’s Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War said,
“Basically, they confirmed that thousands and thousands of experiments had been done on U.S.
Citizens. That the victims were the most vulnerable people in our society: the young, the
disenfranchised, the poor, people of color, people who did not know enough to ask questions. In
other words, the subjects were not doctor’s children or friends of their doctors; they were people
who were vulnerable. The biggest revelation for me was to see how cruel and inhuman these
very educated doctors were toward their patients.”
In the past, many of the non-consensual human subjects were clinically diagnosis with
“housewife syndrome”, “neurotic” and “paranoid schizophrenia”. They were also being given
disinformation. Many of them were experimented on for the rest of their lives. It appears that
history is repeating itself. Currently, many non-consensual human experiments participants are
still being clinically diagnosis with any type of mental illness, “neurotic”, “paranoid
schizophrenia” or “delusional” so that they would appear unbelievable to their family, friends,
and loved ones.
The ACHRE’S report depicts that Federal Government officials made them think that they were
“crazy”, but in essence, they were telling the truth. It’s the perfect plan: Discredit the “enemy”
so that no one would listen or believe him/her so that they can carry on with their evil
plans.
Here’s the excerpt from the ACHRE’s report:
Disinformation and Nuclear Fallout “In the nuclear arms race, government doctors and
scientists brainwashed the public into believing low dose radiation was not harmful. Some
officials even tried to convince people that “a little radiation is good for you.” Totally ignored
was the knowledge that the radiation from nuclear fallout could lead to an increased risk of
cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, immune system disease, reproductive
abnormalities, sterility, birth defects, and genetic mutations which could be passed on from
generation to
generation. The full extent of this radiation damage to the American public during the Cold War
years will never be known.
A secret AEC document, dated 17 April 1947, reveals that physicians were aware of these
radiation hazards but simply ignored them. Under the title “Medical Experiments in Humans,”
the memorandum read: “It is desired that no document be released which refers to experiments
Page 54 of 135
with humans that might have an adverse effect on public opinion or result in legal suits.
Documents covering such field work should be classified ‘Secret’.”
According to Gallagher, many downwinders testified that the Public Health Service officials told
them that their ‘neurosis’ about the fallout was the only thing that would give them cancer,
particularly if they were female. Women with severe radiation illness, hair loss, and badly
burned skin, were clinically diagnosed in hospitals as “neurotic.” Other severely ill women were
diagnosed with “housewife syndrome.” When Gallagher’s investigation led her to ask a
Department of Energy spokesperson about the AEC/DOE’s practice of waiting until the wind
blew towards Utah before testing nuclear bombs or venting radiation in order to avoid
contaminating Las Vegas or Los Angeles, the unabashed and unconcerned official actually said
on tape, “Those people in Utah don’t give a s*** about radiation.” The sad part about Elmer
Allen’s story is that nobody believed him. He went to his doctor and told him, “I think I’ve been
injected with something.” His doctor diagnosed him as a paranoid schizophrenic at the same time
that he was conversing with the atomic energy scientists in Argon National Lab to provide them
with tissue samples.
Final Thoughts
Did you know that 25% of America’s budget, our taxpayers’ dollars is for national security?
Why are millions of innocent law-abiding American citizens’ rights being violated using our tax
payers dollars under the auspices of national security and War Against Terrorism? My family
and I have been exposed to high concentrations of biological/chemical/radiological weapons and
electromagnetic radiations due to these informants. It has been since last year that I have not
eaten food, without any type of toxins on it. This was because many of the Tis went to eat out
after the Bioethics Commission Meeting in New York. As Corporation/President, you are held
accountable for the actions of your employees. In the past 2 days, I have been to Wal-mart, Best
Buy, and Kinko’s and they were using their technology on me. In many cases, they came in
ahead of me and shot up the store with it on your products and in the air. They could have rode
by your establishment and shot the “toxins” in there. Last night, I blanked out in Best Buy for
one second. Should I go and file injury reports in these stores because I suffered bodily injuries?
I was in Shop-Rite and I was being shot in my lower back that it was affecting my walking. I had
to get out of that store quickly. I could barely walk and I was in pain for several days. I have
suffered in silence for the past years from going temporarily blind to my entire body swelling up
because of the technology being used on me. I am tired of being on the phone with customer
service representatives who want to keep me on the phone as long as possible so that I can get
sick. This is premeditated murder. If I suffer injuries because of “informants” either on the
phone or in your establishment should I file injury reports? Arrests should be made. Doctors
should lose their licenses. Restaurants should be fined. Police should lose their badges. We need
to stop this now, before it is too late.
Many non-consensual human subjects/TIs have suffered emotionally, financially, and physically
at the hands of your “informant” employees. Who should be held accountable? Sometimes, they
are parked or driving by your establishment shooting the contaminant into your store? Laws must
be ratified. Laws must be enforced. Many people cannot believe that they are part of something,
which is so sinister. People should be held accountable for their actions.
Page 55 of 135
Corporations/Businesses/Organizations/Religious Institutions participate in the proposed
Reconciliation Program. Your Congressional Representatives, Governors, and President Obama
should be contacted immediately. We need something done today like an Executive Order to be
issued here in America for citizens monitoring, tracking, and targeting using technology by
fellow citizens. In addition, you will assist us in bringing to justice those who have committed
these crimes. We cannot do it, without your support. It is us today, but it could be you and
your loved ones tomorrow. We must stop this before it is too late. Will you stand up with us
starting right now? We want to have an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend like you.
"These technologies should be in place to empower citizens, not to repress them," Obama said in
a somber speech at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. The Germans
were very good at deception. Letitia Peters states, “Once I lived in a rose-colored world. I
thought that if you lived a good life, got a good education and never bother anyone then
everything will be alright. No one would fathom to think that people could be so jealous or evil.
The people in the Federal Government are abusing their power and authority. They have played
god for too long with people’s lives; destroying families, people’s reputations, maiming them,
putting them in prison, mental institutions, driving them to suicide or worst killing them. They
are amaze that I am still alive, because of everything that they have done to me and tried to do to
my family, even to my little “babies” to get me to stop. They try to turn my family against me
who I love very much in spite of everything that has happened, because I know that it has been
external forces that are doing this to them. Many of the tactics were done by the Nazis. I have
been treated worse than an animal because I am a Prophetess. People seem to forget the rule,
“Do unto others like you would have done to them”. I give all the glory to the one and only true
God, Jesus Christ. The other day I saw an emblem that said “Black Ops” on this jeep. Is this
what my family and I have been placed in because I wanted to work in a healthy and safe
environment that was not making me so ill? Was it because I was an attractive (humbly
speaking) African-American woman? You can watch my movie at
www.youtube.com/nimsociety. One thing that they have focused on is my appearance. A
beautician put something in my hair to make it hard and when I went to a cousin’s house, they
were shooting my head. When I left, I had a headache and fine red bumps were in my scalp. A
couple of days later, my long hair was coming out in clumps. I looked like I was a cancer patient.
I started to wear a wig all the time, which I never had to do in my entire 40 years on this planet.
I know that they gave me a very high dosage of radiation because I did not have my menstrual
cycle for months and my body was never the same. I had to do very aggressive detoxification.
Many of them are found in this free e-book at www.radiationdetox.com. It is almost impossible
to get well, when even the things that are supposed to make you well like eating organic foods at
Trader’s Joe are also contaminated by these informants.
Last year, I was on my way to one of the Torture Treatment Centers so that I could be examined
and they used the “energy” on my parents; thanks to my neighbors next door. Has this what
America has come down to doing things to others because they think that they can? People have
allowed their personal opinions to interfere what they are supposed to be doing according to their
job description. If this is the future of America then we are in trouble? I recently watched a PBS
documentary called “Not In Our Town: Class Actions” (www.pbs.org/niot) and it illustrated
stories of people who were fighting against injustices and intolerances in towns across America.
We request the help & support of as many people as possible in America and in other nations.

Human Subjects/TIs to HHS Secretary & Congress: Request to “Opt-out” of
Unethical Research & Propose a Moratorium
In this first article, we will discuss justice for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. Since the
non-consensual human subjects/TIs meet the definition of being a “human subject” in a
“research” or “medical experiment”, they can request to “opt-out” of the human subject research
at any time without prejudice. This is stated in Federal law. These “researchers” are operating
above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific, ethical, and humane research.
There is no way for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs to determine the name of the
research or medical experiment, because there are over 55,000 projects, which involves human
subject research and we were placed into this human subject research without our informed
consent or knowledge. Since January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use the Internet-based registration
maintained by HHS as stated in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer right on HHS’s website since all
IRBs have to register with HHS?
For the past 15-20 years, both HHS and Congress have failed to close the gaps or “loopholes” to
protect the human subjects. Year after year, they have continued to sponsor billions of dollars in
human subject research, without ratifying any laws to protect the human subjects. Currently,
NO ONE is IMMUNE from being used as a human “guinea pig” because the laws are not
there to protect you! First, we seek a moratorium on all U.S. human subject research. Second,
we want Congress to conduct hearings on COINTELPRO-like activities and pertaining to the
obstruction of justice being committed by “informants” or people part of the neighborhood
watch. Finally, how do HHS and Congress intend to ratify laws to protect human subjects in the
future? Recently, the world has seen in the killing of Trayvon Martin, which was an awful
tragedy in itself, where the police chose not to enforce the law, even with all of the evidence
presented. It took people from all ages and walks of life rallying, signing petitions in order for
justice to prevail. We thank God for answering our prayers. The case for Trayvon Martin
represents all of us who have been seeking justice, but were unable to get it before. Now the bar
has been raised to a higher level in America. The non-consensual human subjects/TIs are seeking
justice because the laws are in place, but the “people” are choosing not to enforce or adhere to
the laws. Our slogan is “We say NO to COINTELPRO and YES to JUSTICE. We say NO to
NON-CONSENSUAL HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION, and YES to JUSTICE. Will you
stand up with us to seek justice for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs as well?
HUMAN SUBJECTS/TIs TO HHS SECRETARY & CONGRESS: REQUEST TO “OPT-
OUT” OF UNETHICAL RESEARCH & PROPOSE A MORATORIUM ON ALL U.S.
HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH
“It is a moral issue, but for many it violates their religious beliefs and principles.”
April 24, 2012 -Trenton, NJ- In 1997, former Senator John Glenn said, “I want to put this in
personal terms once again. You just think about your own family, your own son, your own
daughter, or grandchildren who might be, the next time they go to a doctor, the subject of some
medical experiment that they are not even told about. I do not think there can be many things
more un-American than that. That is unconscionable, and we should not permit that.” Why are
Page 58 of 135
there still non-consensual human subject research occurring in 2012, which are maiming, killing
or driving people to suicide? Aren’t there laws in place to protect the human subjects?
In Dr. Harriett A. Washington’s book, Medical Apartheid documents many non-consensual
human subject research/experiment cases. In 1994, the Medical University of South Carolina in
Charleston was accused of enrolling poor African-American women into narcotic-treatment
research without their knowledge. In 1995, an experimental measles vaccine was tested on
mostly African-American and Hispanic children in Los Angeles, without receiving their parents’
informed consent. From 1994 to 1995, New York City law enforcement officials helped
researchers coerce African-American parents into enrolling their boys into a study that sought to
establish a genetic propensity for violence, without receiving their parents’ informed consent.
This scourge has spread beyond racial minorities, as detailed in her new book, Deadly
Monopolies. Since the 1980s, approximately 20 U.S. research projects have won legal waivers
allowing them to bypass any form of informed consent. In 2011, drug giant Pfizer paid $75
million to settle claims that children in Kano state, Nigeria, were injured or killed by non-
consensual administration of its experimental meningitis drug Trovan.
Letitia Peters, a former Federal Government electronics engineer and non-consensual human
subject states, “I would have never imagined that as a law-abiding U.S. citizen (except for a few
parking and speeding tickets) that I would be going through horrific ordeal in America and in
2012. All attempts to silence me with extreme persecution, torture or by any means possible have
failed. I have been treated worse than an animal. I speak on behalf of countless of men, women,
and children in the U.S. and around the world. We are Americans and are entitled to nothing
less than the full rights of every American. The acts of violence that have been taken
against us, should be condemned by all Americans and those worldwide who value freedom
and justice. We have become someone else’s property because our rights, welfare and safety
have been affected. Isn’t that slavery? Now, we are human subjects in a project involving human
subject research without our knowledge or informed consent. For many of us, it is a moral issue,
but for some this violates our religious beliefs and principles. The current Federal laws have not
protected us. I would never “volunteer” to be a human subject with my many health ailments
confirmed by several physicians. The three generations of my family has been placed in this
unethical, human subject research. I love my family, but to do this to the children and to my
elderly parents is totally unacceptable. Is this genocide? My family does not believe that they
have been placed in this unethical, human subject research. History is repeating itself. Logically,
it does not make sense and it is not the acceptable norm. No man has the right to do this to
another fellowman. Many of you would not like it if the tables were turned and this was being
done to your family. Why are you doing this? You are serving Satan who comes to kill, steal,
and destroy. In Jesus’ name, may the angel of the Lord persecute and chase them who are
adversaries to our souls and want to do us harm.
I WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ANYONE: NOT TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS,
NEIGHBORS, OR EVEN COMPLETE STRANGERS.
I have a strong spiritual faith and belief in God/Yahweh and this violates my faith as a follower
of Jesus Christ/Yeshua. I thank my enemies for helping me to develop a closer relationship with
Yahweh through Yeshua. He has been my provider, refuge, fortress, shield, vindicator, healer,
Page 59 of 135
fortress, restorer, and deliverer. He is the only reason why I am still alive because of His grace
and mercy. I stand on the Word of God in the Holy Bible because it is the only truth 24/7. I love
Yahweh with all of my heart, mind, soul, and strength and He is worthy of my praise. It is
finished! Hallelujah!
No Response from HHS about Opt-Out Requests
Letitia Peters, further states, “in my in-depth research, I discovered that America has a 100 year
history of using minorities, especially African-Americans and their children and women as
“guinea pigs” without the human subjects or parent’s knowledge or informed consent. In
addition, this human subject research does not comply with 45 CFR 46 Subpart A, “The
Common Rule” because the rights, welfare, and safety of the human subjects have been affected
and the research involves more than minimal risk. The research practices, which we are
experiencing can be reclassified as “cruel and unusual punishment” or “crimes against
humanity”, which goes way beyond the physical or psychological harm that is normally
encountered in the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of
healthy person as defined by minimal risk. This is torture. Many are maimed, been diagnosed
with cancer or other illnesses, committed suicide or died a premature death. The basic ethical
principles of respect of persons, beneficence and justice as stated in the Belmont report have
been violated. Human subjects should be protected by the authorized agency, HHS and not by
the researchers.”
On March 2, 2012, I emailed an 8 page letter to HHS requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue
participation in this human subject research, but I have not received an official response from
them. On March 20, 2012 and April 12, 2012, I emailed a second request using this opt-out form.
Others have also written to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius requesting that as a human subject,
we have a right to be “opt-out” or discontinue participation in a human subject research.
Case of Elmer Allen, a Non-Consensual Human Subject Diagnosed as Paranoid
Schizophrenic
It is documented in official Federal Government medical records/documents that the Federal
Government scientists diagnosed many non-consensual human subjects with “neurosis” or
“paranoid schizophrenic” who stated that he/she was being experimented on by the Federal
Government. For example, this was documented in the case of the late Elmer Allen. The sad part
about Elmer Allen’s story is that nobody believed him. He went to his doctor and told him, “I
think I’ve been injected with something.” His doctor diagnosed him as a paranoid schizophrenic
at the same time that he was conversing with the atomic energy scientists in Argon National Lab
to provide them with tissue samples. Elmer Allen was not only used in 1947 when he was
injected with this radioactive isotope, but he continued to be used as a guinea pig for the rest of
his life. When Elmer Allen’s daughter, Elmerine was interviewed, she told the story of when she
left for college, her father would tell her watch out, “Don’t let the U.S. government guinea-pig
you.” And they always thought that Elmer Allen had some kind of, well, Elmer was kind of
quirky, and he had this delusion that the government experimented on him.
Page 60 of 135
In the 1970’s, a second generation of atomic scientists rediscovered this experiment. So they
wanted to dig up all the people who were dead, who had been injected with plutonium, and they
also wanted to bring whoever survived them back into the lab for further studies. Elmer Allen
was one of those people who was still alive.
AMY GOODMAN: Under what pretext since he didn’t know, supposedly, that he was a U.S.
government guinea pig?
EILEEN WELSOME: They told Elmer, and this is all documented in the medical records, that
they knew he had a very serious cancer and they wanted to know how he had lived so long.

Discredit the Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs by Committing them to a Mental
Institution by “Any Means Possible” so that the Evil, Unethical Research Continues
Elmer Allen was telling the truth about being a Government “human guinea pig”, but the sad part
of his story is that no one believed in until many years later. The researchers continued with
experimenting on him for the rest of his life. Today, the same thing is occurring, but the
experiment involves more advanced hi-technology. Technology is constantly changing and
people are unaware that some technology can be used on them without them even knowing it.
Electromagnetic radiation is one of them, because it is invisible to the naked eye. People are
unaware that electromagnetic radiation can change their pleasant, easy going personalities into
angry or hostile ones in a matter of seconds or even make someone irritated by bringing up a
particular subject. Many would not contribute their illness, like cancer, brain tumors, or even
aches and pain due to being exposed to electromagnetic radiation because it is invisible.
Like Elmer Allen, many non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) have tried to
bring this to the public’s, family’s, or friend’s attention, but they have been called “crazy”,
“delusional” or been diagnosed with a “mental illness”. The game is the same, but the “players”
have increased because the stakes are higher. Now, police officers, psychiatrists, judges,
physicians & the human subjects own family members, friends, and associates are being used to
“discredit” the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. Many of these individuals are “informants”
(perps or perpetrators, moles or double agents) or part of the “neighborhood watch”. The police
have been involved in many non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) being
committed “for observation” even though they were not harming themselves or others. Some
have said that the police lied to them and even put them in handcuffs to take them to a mental
institution. Who would believe a “crazy person”? Now the committed non-consensual human
subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) are afraid to speak about their ordeal because they fear that
they might be recommitted again and this time even longer. All of the non-consensual human
subjects have stated that it has never been suggested for them to see a psychiatrist, but the
human subjects/TIs are carried off to be committed to a mental institution. This tactic is
also a form of adult “bullying” in order to intimidate the non-consensual human subject to
keep silent. It can also be perceived as an “abuse of power” as well.
Many non-consensual human subjects have been wrongfully committed to mental institutions
and given a diagnosis of schizophrenia, neurosis, or other mental illnesses. Schizophrenia is a
disease that typically begins in early adulthood; between the ages of 15 and 25. Men tend to
Page 61 of 135
get develop schizophrenia slightly earlier than women; whereas most males become ill between
16 and 25 years old, most females develop symptoms several years later, and the incidence in
women is noticeably higher in women after age 30. The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25
in women. Schizophrenia onset is quite rare for people under 10 years of age, or over 40
years of age. Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder for most people who are afflicted, and very
costly for families and society. The overall U.S. 2002 cost of schizophrenia was estimated to be
$62.7 billion, with $22.7 billion excess direct health care cost ($7.0 billion outpatient, $5.0
billion drugs, $2.8 billion inpatient, $8.0 billion long-term care). (source: Analysis Group, Inc.)
This is being done so that no one will ever investigate these allegations and the scientists can
continue with their evil, unethical human subject research. There’s a saying “what’s done in the
dark will be brought to the light”. In Luke 8:17 states, “For nothing is secret, that shall not be
made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall be known and come abroad.” This is what
happened in the case of Elmer Allen who lived to be told that he was in a human subject research
for over 20+ years, without his knowledge or informed consent. He was telling the truth and he
was not delusional. Truth did prevail. We will fight for all human subjects/TIs that were
wrongfully diagnosed with a mental illness to have this permanently expunged from their
medical records.
Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs Should Send their “Opt-Out” form to HHS and to
Congress
The “Common Rule” has not been updated in 20 years and has failed to protect the human
subject since 1991. Obviously, there are serious deficiencies with informed consent in the
“Common Rule”. There is no enforceable Federal regulation or International standard on the
books for informed consent to be required because Congress has failed to ratify any proposed
legislations pertaining to human subject protection in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, and
2011, thus allowing for unethical human subjects experiments to occur.
Non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) should revise this “opt-out” form by
inserting in their own story concentrating on their pain and the violation of their rights, safety,
and welfare as a human subject and send it to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at
[email protected]. The mailing address is:

Non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) should also send their form to their
Congressional representatives (www.congress.gov or contact the switchboard: H.R. 202-225-
3121 or Senate: 202-224-3121 to find out the name of your Congressional representatives.)
Non-consensual human subjects/TIs can also request a Microsoft word version of the form with
the highlighted areas which they should change by sending an email to [email protected].
This will also include an introductory letter to HHS Secretary Sebelius.
I echo the words of Dr. Harriett A. Washington, ”Just as U.S. physicians demanded justice at
Nuremberg, Nigerian parents stormed courts in Kano and Manhattan to demand that we live up
to our stated ideals. Sixty-five years on, it is high time we did.” Don’t you agree?
Here’s the “Opt-Out” form:
Introduction:
In the Bioethics Commission’s report released on December 15, 2011, the Bioethics Commission
suggested that to keep track of the more than 55,000 research projects using human subjects, the
Federal government should create a central online portal and database where basic information
about the projects are archived and made easily accessible and further concluded that it “cannot
say that all federally funded research provides optimal protections against avoidable harms
and unethical treatment”. The Bioethics Commission also said although human subjects in US
government-funded research are generally protected by existing rules and regulations, their
safety and well-being could be enhanced with stronger measures, including increased public
transparency and a system of compensating subjects who sustain research-related injuries.
Human subject research should adhere to the ethical principles and guidelines for the protection
of human research participants summarized in the uniform set of regulations, called the Federal
Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, 45 CFR 46, Subpart A, formally known as the
“Common Rule.” The 45 CFR 46 regulations are based in large part on the Belmont Report and
were written to offer basic protections to human subjects involved in both biomedical and
behavioral research. Today, 45 CFR 46, Subjects A and E: Registration of Institutional Review
Boards (added 1/15/2009) is shared by 17 Departments and Agencies, representing most, but not
all, of the Federal Departments and Agencies sponsoring human subjects research. Many of them
have not adopted Subpart B: Additional Protections for Pregnant Women, Human Fetuses &
Neonates Involved in Research, Subpart C: Additional Protections Pertaining to Biomedical &
Behavior Research Involving Prisoners as Subjects, or Subject D: Additional Protections for
Children Involved as Subjects in Research. For the past 20 years, 45 CFR 46, have been
considered merely “guidelines” and is not a lawfully, promulgated regulation.
Page 63 of 135
Before a research project involving human subjects is initiated, it must be reviewed and
approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB has a central role in ensuring that all
human subject research is planned and conducted in an ethical manner, and in compliance with
federal, state and local regulations. The major responsibilities of the IRB are to assess the risks
and benefits of proposed research and to promote respect for its advice and counsel in
safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects.
Research is defined by the Common Rule regulations as “a systematic investigation, including
research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable
knowledge. Activities which meet this definition constitute research for purposes of this policy,
whether or not they are conducted or supported under a program which is considered research for
other purposes. For example, some demonstration and service programs may include research
activities.” Medical experiment is defined by California Law, Health & Safety Code Section
24171 as “the severance or penetration or damaging of tissues of a human subject or the use of a
drug or device, electromagnetic radiation, heat or cold, or a biological substance or organism, in
or upon a human subject in the practice of research of medicine in a manner not reasonably
related to maintaining or improving the health of the subject or otherwise directly benefiting the
subject.
Human Subject is defined by the Common Rule regulations as “a living individual about whom
an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains either a) data
through intervention or interaction with the individual or b) identifiable private information.”
Human subject is defined by FDA regulations as “an individual who is or becomes a participant
in research, either as a recipient of the test article or as a control. A subject may be either a
healthy human or a patient. Subject [also] means a human who participates in an investigation,
either as an individual on whom or on whose specimen an investigational device is used or as a
control.”
Failure of OHRP to Investigate Allegations
In the March 14, 2006 letter to the then HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt from Senator Charles
Grassley states, “I am personally troubled that, for all intents and purposes, the FDA allowed a
clinical trial to proceed, which makes the inhabitants of 32 communities in 18 states, and anyone
living or traveling near these communities, potential “guinea pigs” without their consent and,
absent consent, without full awareness of the risks and benefits of the blood substitute… My
requests to the FDA did not seem unreasonable to me, especially given the serious nature of the
ethical and safety issues included with the PolyHeme Study.” According to the Alliance for
Human Research Protection (AHRP), OHRP does not appear to have the authority to put on hold
a commercially sponsored unethical human experiment that is under FDA jurisdiction. If OHRP
has such authority and failed to exercise it, then the public should know that there are, in effect,
no protections preventing unethical experiments to be conducted at the nation’s hospitals. The
public must be protected by an authorized agency not under the influence of biotech-
pharmaceutical companies.
On behalf of the Secretary, HHS, the Office on Human Research Protections (OHRP) approves
the terms of these written institutional assurances, which constitute binding commitments. In
Page 64 of 135
essence, OHRP holds accountable and depends on institutional officials, committees,
researchers, and other agents of the institution to comply with the institution’s assurance and the
regulations. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, OHRP’s Division of Compliance
Oversight monitors compliance through not-for-cause compliance oversight surveillance
activities and for-cause compliance oversight evaluations of allegations or indications of
noncompliance with the regulations. OHRP has the authority under Title IV of the Public
Health Service Act (42 USC 281 et seq.) to investigate complaints about human subject
protections in HHS-conducted or -funded research, as well as any other research covered
by the institution’s Assurance of Compliance. OHRP also promotes compliance through its
Division of Policy and Assurances, which provides policy and guidance documents pertaining to
the regulatory requirements in 45 CFR 46. If HHS receives an allegation or indication of
noncompliance related to human subject research that is conducted or supported solely by a
Common Rule department/agency other than HHS, HHS will refer the matter to that
department/agency for review and action as appropriate” as stated at
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/.
On April 26, 2011, I met with Kristina C. Borror Ph.D., Division of Compliance Oversight
Director to file a formal complaint and to find out which Federal agency was responsible for
conducting non-consensual human experimentation on me and others. I was told by Ms. Borror
that there was nothing that her office could do for me and that I should contact each agency and
file a FOIA request with each one.” I knew there were a lot of research projects using human
subjects and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be very difficult, if not
impossible to find, since there are more than 55,000 projects that involve human subjects. Since
January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use the Internet-based registration maintained by HHS as stated
in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer right on HHS’s website since all IRBs have to register with
HHS?
Non-Consensual Human Subjects Testimonies & Request for a Moratorium
Congress and HHS are sponsoring projects involving human subjects, without 45 CFR 46 being
an enforceable lawfully, promulgated regulation, informed consent being on the books or a
ratified Human Subjects Research Protection Law. As a result, “the absence of Federal
jurisdiction over much privately funded research means that the U.S. government cannot know
how many Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they
have been recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks
they are undertaking, and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed.” Many non-
consensual human subjects testified at the Bioethics Commission’s Meeting 4 Session 10 (March
1, 2011) and Meeting 5 Session 6 (May 18, 2011): Public Comments. There were others who
submitted their written testimonies. The archived transcripts and videos are available at
bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-four and bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-five. Several months later, the
Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) requested public comments pertaining to the
update of 45 CFR 46 and has received 600+ pages of testimonies from human subjects and over
1100 responses, which did not include the public comments from the Bioethics Commission.
A moratorium is being requested so that the “Federal Government can get it right”. This is a
massive undertaken, which should require the support of HHS and Congress to ensure that any
Page 65 of 135
new regulations will benefit and protect the rights, safety, and welfare of future human subjects.
We are requesting Congress to conduct investigative hearings about illegal “COINTELPRO”
activities, ratify laws to protect the rights & welfare of the human subjects so that informed
consent is finally on the books and oversee the activities pertaining to the revision of 45 CFR 46
by HHS so that it will become a lawfully, promulgated regulation. Will the revised 45 CFR 46
address the issues of ACHRE, NBAC, Executive Orders/Memos by former President Clinton,
results of the EPA lawsuit, and former Senator John Glenn? How will 45 CFR 46 interact with
FDA regulations (21 CFR 50, 56), HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164), Public Health Service
Act (42 USC 281) & other Federal & State regulations that impact the conduct of human subjects
research? The Common Rule offers more exceptions than FDA regulations do. Should that be
true? More importantly, will 45 CFR 46 become a strict, ethical, and enforceable, lawfully
promulgated Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their actions so
that unethical, human subject research/experiments will be eliminated in the future?
Request to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue Participation as a “Non-consensual” Human Subject
I, Letitia Petershave been randomly selected to be a participant or human subject in a
research/experiment without my voluntary, informed consent, either orally or written and
without my knowledge. In this research/ experiment, I am/have been exposed to
electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma rays, microwave, & infrared)
and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, & radiological). In addition, my body has been
infiltrated with many “unidentified metal devices”. I meet the requirement of a “human subject”
in a “research/experiment” as defined above. I already had a compromised immune system
because of my exposure to toxic molds/mycotoxins while working in the Washington, DC
Federal buildings. I was far from being that “healthy person with no major health ailments”, but I
was working towards it everyday so that I would have a better quality of life and become a
productive U.S. citizen in the workplace and community once again. I am on disability
retirement & I would have never consented to be a “volunteer” in any human subject
research with all of my confirmed diagnoses; especially one which uses gamma rays,
microwave, infrared and weapons (biological, chemical, directed energy & radiological). I
believe that my selection was not equitable in my case as defined in 45 CFR 46.113. I have
endured unnecessary & unimaginable pain and suffering that presents a danger to my
well-being by continuing in this human research. I am in a life-threatening situation
everyday that I continue to be in this human subject research. Furthermore, this violates
my religious principles and beliefs. I want out now! In addition, the National Commission
for the Protection of Human Subjects believed that those who are already burdened (e.g.,
by disabilities or institutionalization) should not be asked to accept the burdens of research
unless other appropriate subjects cannot be found (i.e., if the research concerns their
particular disability or circumstance).
This human subject research/experiment involves noncompliance with 45 CFR 46. This part of
the “Common Rule” is intended to allow IRBs to waive informed consent in its entirety or any of
the required elements of informed consent In order for this human subject/experiment to waive
informed consent it had to meet the 4 criteria in 45 CFR 46.116 (d). An IRB may approve a
consent procedure which does not include, or which alters, some or all of the elements of
informed consent set forth in this section, or waive the requirements to obtain informed consent
Page 66 of 135
provided the IRB finds and documents that: (1) The research involves no more than minimal
risk to the subjects; (2) The waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and
welfare of the subjects; (3) The research could not practicably be carried out without the
waiver or alteration; and (4) Whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with
additional pertinent information after participation.
Risk is defined in The IRB Guidebook as the probability of harm or injury (physical,
psychological, social, or economic) occurring as a result of participation in a research study.
Both the probability and magnitude of possible harm may vary from minimal to significant.
Federal regulations define only “minimal risk.” Minimal risk is defined in the Common Rule as
the probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in
the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy
persons.
The daily exposures of electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma rays,
microwave, & infrared) and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, & radiological)
presents a danger to my overall well-being and has violated my rights and welfare as a human
subject. The human research practices, which I am experiencing, should be reclassified as “cruel
and unusual punishment” or “crimes against humanity”, which goes way beyond the physical or
psychological harm that is “normally” encountered in our daily lives or in the routine medical,
dental, or psychological examination. I am experiencing intentional infliction of severe physical
pain or suffering, which violates my rights and falls under the purview of 18 USC § 2340
Torture. I am in pain everyday, but the degree of the pain varies from day to day and from hour
to hour; from minor discomfort pain to excruciating, agonizing pain, where I am in tears and
crying out for Jesus Christ to deliver me. It has been very unbearable. There have been times that
I could not even get out of bed to bathe or even cook for myself because of the extreme fatigue
and the severity of the pain in my body. I am in excruciating pain for hours and days while
suffering in silence because I did not want my parents to worry and also they do not believe that
we are in a human subject research. My feet would become so swollen due to edema that I could
barely walk. Each step that I would take the shooting pain would resonate throughout my legs.
My legs looked like they were going to “pop”. I would have to elevate them and stay completely
off my feet for a day or several days before they would return to normal & there was no pain. My
stomach, fingers, eyelids, face & head also swells. I would experience constant throbbing of pain
for hours. I went “temporary blind” after being intentionally dosed with chemical:
pesticides/insecticides and the emergency medical care failed to treat me. I could hear my rapid
heart rate when I am in the bed or resting; sometimes I would have heart palpitations. One
incident I developed “red fine bumps” in my head and a couple of days later, my hair fell out in
“clumps” as I was combing it. The National Academy of Sciences states this only occurs with
radiation exposures at 200 rems or higher. My vision has become blurry after these exposures.
My body is under tremendous stress, undue distress and inflicted pain, which affects my
performance to try to run my own business and to live a normal life. My body has been
infiltrated with “unidentifiable metal devices”, which is being picked up by a simple carpenter’s
tool: a stud sensor/finder. I could see two in my neck, because that particular area of my neck
pulsates, when my heart rate increases and another one came out of place in my wrist, which I
saw through my skin. I developed very painful red, blisters/mouth sores overnight, while I am
sleeping. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website in order for the blisters/mouth sores to
Page 67 of 135
develop, radiation was aimed at my head or neck. I have a very dry, metallic taste in my mouth.
My eyes are very dry. I also woke up to an excruciating pounding, headache, which has been
with me all day. My body is “aching” all over, as well as, my parents’ bodies. All of our
diseases have been exacerbated; my father has developed cancer, which could have been a
contributing factor from the environment and I recently spent the night in the hospital with my
mother due to her chest pains and very high blood pressure, which never occurred before. Even
people who visit us are being exposed, including children.
Personal privacy is important to ethical research as stated in 45 CFR 46.111. My confidentiality
and privacy rights have been violated. 45 CFR 46.116 (f) clearly states, “nothing in this policy is
intended to limit the authority of a physician to provide emergency medical care, to the extent
the physician is permitted to do so under applicable federal, state, or local law.” The
“researchers” have interfered with the physicians to provide me with the “appropriate”
emergency care. The physicians released private health information, did not adequately
addressed my complaints, failed to ensure patient care was provided in a safe and effective
manner, did not provide appropriate medical screening exams for me, and failed to treat a sick
and injured patient before releasing me, which violates the Emergency Medical Treatment and
Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Now there is a significant high health risk of me developing a
radiation-related disease that could have been greatly minimized through early detection and
appropriate medical treatment. The “researchers” have used disinformation to cause humiliation,
social stigmatization, and discrimination. Invasion of privacy concerns access to a person’s body
and the “researchers” has access to my body 24/7 and there are countless of men, women and
children, also called “informants” or “perps” who have access to my body 24/7 without my
informed consent or knowledge.
Human Subject Research Violates the Rights & Welfare of Vulnerable Population:
Children
Children have been included in this human subject research, without receiving the
parental/guardian permission consent documentation as defined in 45 CFR 46.408 and these
children/minors are not wards of the state or any other agency, institution, or entity as defined in
45 CFR 46.409. No adequate provisions were made for soliciting the assent of children and the
no permission was granted from their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408 as
stated in 45 CFR 46.407 (iii). These children/minor are involve in research, which involves
greater than minimal risk as defined in 45 CFR 46.404 and does not present the prospect of direct
benefit to them at defined in 45 CFR 46.406. Some of these children are not economically or
educationally disadvantaged, but they have been placed in because of their race. This research is
not being conducted in accordance with sound ethical principles as stated in 45 CFR 46.607 (ii).
Both the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects and the President’s
Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral
Research recommended that such waivers be granted only if subjects will not be denied benefits
or services to which they are otherwise legally entitled. The waiver of informed consent has
diminished the protection of my rights and welfare as a non-consensual human subject. I have
received no respect as a non-consensual human subject. There is a non-verbal element that
“whatever happens to the human subject is of no personal concern to the researcher. They can do
Page 68 of 135
whatever they want to the human subject and there is nothing that the human subject can do
about because no one will help the human subject.”
The waiver of informed consent has caused adverse consequences for my welfare and for my
general well-being, as well as, my loved ones. In addition, our rights, safety, dignity, welfare,
and privacy as non-consensual human subjects have been violated and do not comply with 45
CFR 46. This human subject research/experiment is incompliance with the policy, 45 CFR 46
therefore, as stated in 45 CFR 46.123, it should be terminated. If I continue in this “loosely
controlled” research/experiment, it will likely result in irreversible permanent injury, radiation-
induced diseases or even pre-mature death for myself (this request also includes my family
members who were systematically included in this because of me), because the “researchers”
are operating above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific, ethical, and
humane research. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation immediately
out of this non-consensual human subject research/experiment without prejudice. The
“Common Rule”, 45 CFR 46.116 (a) (8) states, “and the subject may discontinue participation
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled.” I
am not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of my participation as a non-
consensual human subject. The legal rights as a human subject may not be waived and the
human subject may not be asked to release or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the
institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
In the National Institutes of Health, Office for Protection from Research Risks (OPRR)
1993 Institutional Review Board Guidebook in the withdrawal from participation section,
it states, “attention should be paid to subjects’ rights when they decide to withdraw from
participation in the study. The federal regulations clearly require that subjects be free to
withdraw from participation without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise
entitled [Federal Policy §116(a) (8)].”
For research involving more than minimal risk, an explanation as to whether any compensation
and an explanation as to whether any medical treatments are availability of medical treatment
and compensation in the case of research-related injury, including who will pay for the treatment
and the availability of other financial compensation as stated in 45 CFR 46.116(a)(6). In July
2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the preponderance of
scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer or other
health problem and there is no threshold below, which exposure can be viewed as harmless.
According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show that symptoms may persist for up to 10
years and may also have an increased long-term risk for leukemia and lymphoma. The
effects of radiation on the human body can be found at
www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. Will the human subjects be compensated due
to research-related injury?
I, Letitia Peters certify that my decision to “opt-out” or discontinue participation in this human
experiment is without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, coercion or
undue influence on my decision. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation
because of my rights as a human subject as stated in 45 CFR 46 116 (a) (8). This request includes
all of my immediate family members (my elderly parents, my sister’s family and my brother’s

family) who were thrust in this unethical, human subject research/experiment without their
consent or without their knowledge.
In closing, I echo the words announced at the 1976 National Urban League National Conference
on Human Experimentation, “We don’t want to kill science, but we don’t want science to kill,
mangle, & abuse us”.

“Taking A Stand Against Injustice” Series (Part 1 of 3)
In this first article, we will discuss justice for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. Since the
non-consensual human subjects/TIs meet the definition of being a “human subject” in a
“research” or “medical experiment”, they can request to “opt-out” of the human subject research
at any time without prejudice. This is stated in Federal law. These “researchers” are operating
above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific, ethical, and humane research.
There is no way for us to determine the name of the research or medical experiment, because
there are over 55,000 projects, which involves human subject research and we were placed into
this human subject research without our informed consent or knowledge. For the past 15-20
years, both HHS and Congress have failed to close the gaps or “loopholes” to protect the human
subjects. Year after year, they have continued to sponsor billions of dollars in human subject
research, without ratifying any laws to protect the human subjects. Currently, NO ONE is
IMMUNE from being used as a human “guinea pig” because the laws are not there to
protect you! First, we seek a moratorium on all U.S. human subject research. Second, we want
Congress to conduct hearings on COINTELPRO activities and pertaining to the obstruction of
justice being committed by informants from the private sector, city, state, and even including the
Federal Government. Finally, how do HHS and Congress intend to ratify laws to protect human
subjects in the future? Recently, the world has seen in the case of the late Trayvon Martin, which
was an awful tragedy in itself, where the police chose not to enforce the law, even with all of the
evidence presented in the case. It took people from all ages and walks of life protesting, signing
petitions and receiving national and worldwide media publicity in order for justice to prevail. We
thank God for answering our prayers. The case for Trayvon Martin represents all of us who have
been seeking justice, but were unable to get it before. Now the bar has been raised to a higher
level in America. The non-consensual human subjects/TIs are seeking justice because the laws
Page 70 of 135
are in place, but the “people” are choosing not to enforce or adhere to the laws. Our slogan is
“We say NO to COINTELPRO and YES to JUSTICE. We say NO to NON-
CONSENSUAL HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION, and YES to JUSTICE. Will you stand up
with us to seek justice for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs as well?
HUMAN SUBJECTS/TIs TO HHS SECRETARY & CONGRESS: REQUEST TO “OPT-
OUT” OF UNETHICAL RESEARCH & PROPOSE A MORATORIUM ON ALL U.S.
HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH
“It is a moral issue, but for many it violates their religious beliefs and principles.”
April 24, 2012 -Trenton, NJ- In 1997, former Senator John Glenn said, “I want to put this in
personal terms once again. You just think about your own family, your own son, your own
daughter, or grandchildren who might be, the next time they go to a doctor, the subject of some
medical experiment that they are not even told about. I do not think there can be many things
more un-American than that. That is unconscionable, and we should not permit that.” Why are
there still non-consensual human subject research occurring in 2012, which are maiming, killing
or driving people to suicide? Aren’t there laws in place to protect the human subjects?
In Dr. Harriett A. Washington’s book, Medical Apartheid documents many non-consensual
human subject research/experiment cases. In 1994, the Medical University of South Carolina in
Charleston was accused of enrolling poor African-American women into narcotic-treatment
research without their knowledge. In 1995, an experimental measles vaccine was tested on
mostly African-American and Hispanic children in Los Angeles, without receiving their parents’
informed consent. From 1994 to 1995, New York City law enforcement officials helped
researchers coerce African-American parents into enrolling their boys into a study that sought to
establish a genetic propensity for violence, without receiving their parents’ informed consent.
This scourge has spread beyond racial minorities, as detailed in her new book, Deadly
Monopolies. Since the 1980s, approximately 20 U.S. research projects have won legal waivers
allowing them to bypass any form of informed consent. In 2011, drug giant Pfizer paid $75
million to settle claims that children in Kano state, Nigeria, were injured or killed by non-
consensual administration of its experimental meningitis drug Trovan.
Letitia Peters, a former Federal Government electronics engineer and non-consensual human
subject states, “I would have never imagined that as a law-abiding U.S. citizen (except for a few
parking and speeding tickets) that I would be going through horrific ordeal in America and in
2012. All attempts to silence me with extreme persecution, torture or by any means possible have
failed. I have been treated worse than an animal. I speak on behalf of countless of men, women,
and children in the U.S. and around the world. We are Americans and are entitled to nothing
less than the full rights of every American. The acts of violence that have been taken
against us, should be condemned by all Americans and those worldwide who value freedom
and justice. We have become someone else’s property because our rights, welfare and safety
have been affected. Isn’t that slavery? Now, we are human subjects in a project involving human
subject research without our knowledge or informed consent. For many of us, it is a moral issue,
but for some this violates our religious beliefs and principles. The current Federal laws have not
protected us. I would never “volunteer” to be a human subject with my many health ailments
Page 71 of 135
confirmed by several physicians. The three generations of my family has been placed in this
unethical, human subject research. I love my family, but to do this to the children and to my
elderly parents is totally unacceptable. Is this genocide? My family does not believe that they
have been placed in this unethical, human subject research. History is repeating itself. Logically,
it does not make sense and it is not the acceptable norm. No man has the right to do this to
another fellowman. Many of you would not like it if the tables were turned and this was being
done to your family. Why are you doing this? You are serving Satan who comes to kill, steal,
and destroy. In Jesus’ name, may the angel of the Lord persecute and chase them who are
adversaries to our souls and want to do us harm.
I WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ANYONE: NOT TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS,
NEIGHBORS, OR EVEN COMPLETE STRANGERS.
I have a strong spiritual faith and belief in God/Yahweh and this violates my faith as a follower
of Jesus Christ/Yeshua. I thank my enemies for helping me to develop a closer relationship with
Yahweh through Yeshua. He has been my provider, refuge, fortress, shield, vindicator, healer,
fortress, restorer, and deliverer. He is the only reason why I am still alive because of His grace
and mercy. I stand on the Word of God in the Holy Bible because it is the only truth 24/7. I love
Yahweh with all of my heart, mind, soul, and strength and He is worthy of my praise. It is
finished! Hallelujah!
No Response from HHS about Opt-Out Requests
Letitia Peters, further states, “in my in-depth research, I discovered that America has a 100 year
history of using minorities, especially African-Americans and their children and women as
“guinea pigs” without the human subjects or parent’s knowledge or informed consent. In
addition, this human subject research does not comply with 45 CFR 46 Subpart A, “The
Common Rule” because the rights, welfare, and safety of the human subjects have been affected
and the research involves more than minimal risk. The research practices, which we are
experiencing can be reclassified as “cruel and unusual punishment” or “crimes against
humanity”, which goes way beyond the physical or psychological harm that is normally
encountered in the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of
healthy person as defined by minimal risk. This is torture. Many are maimed, been diagnosed
with cancer or other illnesses, committed suicide or died a premature death. The basic ethical
principles of respect of persons, beneficence and justice as stated in the Belmont report have
been violated. Human subjects should be protected by the authorized agency, HHS and not by
the researchers.”
On March 2, 2012, I emailed an 8 page letter to HHS requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue
participation in this human subject research, but I have not received an official response from
them. On March 20, 2012 and April 12, 2012, I emailed a second request using this opt-out form.
Others have also written to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius requesting that as a human subject,
we have a right to be “opt-out” or discontinue participation in a human subject research.
Case of Elmer Allen, a Non-Consensual Human Subject Diagnosed as Paranoid
Schizophrenic
Page 72 of 135
It is documented in official Federal Government medical records/documents that the Federal
Government scientists diagnosed many non-consensual human subjects with “neurosis” or
“paranoid schizophrenic” who stated that he/she was being experimented on by the Federal
Government. For example, this was documented in the case of the late Elmer Allen. The sad part
about Elmer Allen’s story is that nobody believed him. He went to his doctor and told him, “I
think I’ve been injected with something.” His doctor diagnosed him as a paranoid schizophrenic
at the same time that he was conversing with the atomic energy scientists in Argon National Lab
to provide them with tissue samples. Elmer Allen was not only used in 1947 when he was
injected with this radioactive isotope, but he continued to be used as a guinea pig for the rest of
his life. When Elmer Allen’s daughter, Elmerine was interviewed, she told the story of when she
left for college, her father would tell her watch out, “Don’t let the U.S. government guinea-pig
you.” And they always thought that Elmer Allen had some kind of, well, Elmer was kind of
quirky, and he had this delusion that the government experimented on him.
In the 1970’s, a second generation of atomic scientists rediscovered this experiment. So they
wanted to dig up all the people who were dead, who had been injected with plutonium, and they
also wanted to bring whoever survived them back into the lab for further studies. Elmer Allen
was one of those people who was still alive.
AMY GOODMAN: Under what pretext since he didn’t know, supposedly, that he was a U.S.
government guinea pig?
EILEEN WELSOME: They told Elmer, and this is all documented in the medical records, that
they knew he had a very serious cancer and they wanted to know how he had lived so long.
The entire transcript about Elmer Allen is at
http://www.democracynow.org/2004/5/5/plutonium_files_how_the_u_s.
Discredit the Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs by Committing them to A Mental
Institution by “Any Means Possible”
Like Elmer Allen, many non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) have tried to
bring this to the public’s, family’s, or friend’s attention, but they have been called “crazy”,
“delusional” or been diagnosed with a “mental illness”. Police officers, psychiatrists, judges,
physicians, Federal intelligence agents & their family members, friends, and associates are being
used to discredit the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. Many of these individuals are
informants (perps or perpetrators, moles or double agents). The police were involved in non-
consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) being committed “for observation” even
though they were not harming themselves or others. Some have said that the police had lied to
them and even put them in handcuffs to take them to a mental institution. Who would believe a
“crazy person”? Now the committed non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs)
are afraid to speak about their ordeal because they fear that they might be recommitted again and
this time even longer. All of the non-consensual human subjects have stated that it has never
been suggested for them to see a psychiatrist, but they always want the human subjects/TIs
to be committed to a mental institution. This tactic is also a form of adult “bullying” in
order to intimidate the non-consensual human subject to keep silent. It can also be
perceived as an “abuse of power” as well.
Page 73 of 135
Technology has changed and people are unaware that some technology can be used on them
without them even knowing it. Electromagnetic radiation is one of them, because it is invisible to
the naked eye. People are unaware that electromagnetic radiation can change their pleasant, easy
going personalities into angry or hostile ones in a matter of seconds or even make someone
irritated by bringing up a particular subject.
Many non-consensual human subjects have been wrongfully committed to mental institutions
and given a diagnosis of schizophrenia, neurosis, or other mental illnesses. Schizophrenia is a
disease that typically begins in early adulthood; between the ages of 15 and 25. Men tend to
get develop schizophrenia slightly earlier than women; whereas most males become ill between
16 and 25 years old, most females develop symptoms several years later, and the incidence in
women is noticably higher in women after age 30. The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25
in women. Schizophrenia onset is quite rare for people under 10 years of age, or over 40
years of age. Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder for most people who are afflicted, and very
costly for families and society. The overall U.S. 2002 cost of schizophrenia was estimated to be
$62.7 billion, with $22.7 billion excess direct health care cost ($7.0 billion outpatient, $5.0
billion drugs, $2.8 billion inpatient, $8.0 billion long-term care). (source: Analysis Group, Inc.)
This is being done so that no one will ever investigate these allegations and the scientists can
continue with their unethical human subject research. There’s a saying “what’s done in the dark
will be brought to the light”. In Luke 8:17 states, “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made
manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall be known and come abroad.” This is what happened in
the case of Elmer Allen who lived to be told that he was in a human subject research for over
20+ years, without his knowledge or informed consent. He was telling the truth and he was not
delusional. Truth did prevail. We will fight for all human subjects/TIs that were wrongfully
diagnosed with a mental illness to have this permanently expunged from their medical records.
Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs Should Send their “Opt-Out” form to HHS and to
Congress
The “Common Rule” has not been updated in 20 years and has failed to protect the human
subject since 1991. Obviously, there are serious deficiencies with informed consent in the
“Common Rule”. There is no enforceable Federal regulation or International standard on the
books for informed consent to be required because Congress has failed to ratify any proposed
legislations pertaining to human subject protection in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, and
2011, thus allowing for unethical human subjects experiments to occur.
Non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) should revise this “opt-out” form by
inserting in their own story concentrating on their pain and the violation of their rights, safety,
and welfare as a human subject and send it to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at
[email protected]. The mailing address is:

Non-consensual human subjects/TIs can also request a Microsoft word version of the form with
the highlighted areas which they should change by sending an email to [email protected].
This will also include an introductory letter to HHS Secretary Sebelius.
I echo the words of Dr. Harriett A. Washington, ”Just as U.S. physicians demanded justice at
Nuremberg, Nigerian parents stormed courts in Kano and Manhattan to demand that we live up
to our stated ideals. Sixty-five years on, it is high time we did.” Don’t you agree?
Here’s the “Opt-Out” form:
Introduction:
In the Bioethics Commission’s report released on December 15, 2011, the Bioethics Commission
suggested that to keep track of the more than 55,000 research projects using human subjects, the
Federal government should create a central online portal and database where basic information
about the projects are archived and made easily accessible and further concluded that it “cannot
say that all federally funded research provides optimal protections against avoidable harms
and unethical treatment”. The Bioethics Commission also said although human subjects in US
government-funded research are generally protected by existing rules and regulations, their
safety and well-being could be enhanced with stronger measures, including increased public
transparency and a system of compensating subjects who sustain research-related injuries.
Human subject research should adhere to the ethical principles and guidelines for the protection
of human research participants summarized in the uniform set of regulations, called the Federal
Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, 45 CFR 46, Subpart A, formally known as the
“Common Rule.” The 45 CFR 46 regulations are based in large part on the Belmont Report and
were written to offer basic protections to human subjects involved in both biomedical and
Page 75 of 135
behavioral research. Today, 45 CFR 46, Subjects A and E: Registration of Institutional Review
Boards (added 1/15/2009) is shared by 17 Departments and Agencies, representing most, but not
all, of the Federal Departments and Agencies sponsoring human subjects research. Many of them
have not adopted Subpart B: Additional Protections for Pregnant Women, Human Fetuses &
Neonates Involved in Research, Subpart C: Additional Protections Pertaining to Biomedical &
Behavior Research Involving Prisoners as Subjects, or Subject D: Additional Protections for
Children Involved as Subjects in Research. For the past 20 years, 45 CFR 46, have been
considered merely “guidelines” and is not a lawfully, promulgated regulation.
Before a research project involving human subjects is initiated, it must be reviewed and
approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB has a central role in ensuring that all
human subject research is planned and conducted in an ethical manner, and in compliance with
federal, state and local regulations. The major responsibilities of the IRB are to assess the risks
and benefits of proposed research and to promote respect for its advice and counsel in
safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects.
Research is defined by the Common Rule regulations as “a systematic investigation, including
research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable
knowledge. Activities which meet this definition constitute research for purposes of this policy,
whether or not they are conducted or supported under a program which is considered research for
other purposes. For example, some demonstration and service programs may include research
activities.” Medical experiment is defined by California Law, Health & Safety Code Section
24171 as “the severance or penetration or damaging of tissues of a human subject or the use of a
drug or device, electromagnetic radiation, heat or cold, or a biological substance or organism, in
or upon a human subject in the practice of research of medicine in a manner not reasonably
related to maintaining or improving the health of the subject or otherwise directly benefiting the
subject.
Human Subject is defined by the Common Rule regulations as “a living individual about whom
an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains either a) data
through intervention or interaction with the individual or b) identifiable private information.”
Human subject is defined by FDA regulations as “an individual who is or becomes a participant
in research, either as a recipient of the test article or as a control. A subject may be either a
healthy human or a patient. Subject [also] means a human who participates in an investigation,
either as an individual on whom or on whose specimen an investigational device is used or as a
control.”
Failure of OHRP to Investigate Allegations
In the March 14, 2006 letter to the then HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt from Senator Charles
Grassley states, “I am personally troubled that, for all intents and purposes, the FDA allowed a
clinical trial to proceed, which makes the inhabitants of 32 communities in 18 states, and anyone
living or traveling near these communities, potential “guinea pigs” without their consent and,
absent consent, without full awareness of the risks and benefits of the blood substitute… My
requests to the FDA did not seem unreasonable to me, especially given the serious nature of the
ethical and safety issues included with the PolyHeme Study.”According to the Alliance for
Page 76 of 135
Human Research Protection (AHRP) is that OHRP does not appear to have the authority to put
on hold a commercially sponsored unethical human experiment that is under FDA jurisdiction.
If OHRP has such authority and failed to exercise it, then the public should know that there are,
in effect, no protections preventing unethical experiments to be conducted at the nation’s
hospitals. The public must be protected by an authorized agency not under the influence of
biotech-pharmaceutical companies.
On behalf of the Secretary, HHS, the Office on Human Research Protections (OHRP) approves
the terms of these written institutional assurances, which constitute binding commitments. In
essence, OHRP holds accountable and depends on institutional officials, committees,
researchers, and other agents of the institution to comply with the institution’s assurance and the
regulations. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, OHRP’s Division of Compliance
Oversight monitors compliance through not-for-cause compliance oversight surveillance
activities and for-cause compliance oversight evaluations of allegations or indications of
noncompliance with the regulations. OHRP has the authority under Title IV of the Public
Health Service Act (42 USC 281 et seq.) to investigate complaints about human subject
protections in HHS-conducted or -funded research, as well as any other research covered
by the institution’s Assurance of Compliance. OHRP also promotes compliance through its
Division of Policy and Assurances, which provides policy and guidance documents pertaining to
the regulatory requirements in 45 CFR 46. If HHS receives an allegation or indication of
noncompliance related to human subject research that is conducted or supported solely by a
Common Rule department/agency other than HHS, HHS will refer the matter to that
department/agency for review and action as appropriate” as stated at
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/.
On April 26, 2011, I met with Kristina C. Borror Ph.D., Division of Compliance Oversight
Director to file a formal complaint and to find out which Federal agency was responsible for
conducting non-consensual human experimentation on me and others. I was told by Ms. Borror
that there was nothing that her office could do for me and that I should contact each agency and
file a FOIA request with each one.” I knew there were a lot of research projects using human
subjects and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be very difficult, if not
impossible to find, since there are more than 55,000 projects that involve human subjects. Since
January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use the Internet-based registration maintained by HHS as stated
in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer right on HHS’s website since all IRBs have to register with
HHS?
Non-Consensual Human Subjects Testimonies & Request for a Moratorium
Congress and HHS are sponsoring projects involving human subjects, without 45 CFR 46 being
an enforceable lawfully, promulgated regulation, informed consent being on the books or a
ratified Human Subjects Research Protection Law. As a result, “the absence of Federal
jurisdiction over much privately funded research means that the U.S. government cannot know
how many Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they
have been recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks
they are undertaking, and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed.” Many non-
consensual human subjects testified at the Bioethics Commission’s Meeting 4 Session 10 (March
Page 77 of 135
1, 2011) and Meeting 5 Session 6 (May 18, 2011): Public Comments. There were others who
submitted their written testimonies. The archived transcripts and videos are available at
bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-four and bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-five. Several months later, the
Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) requested public comments pertaining to the
update of 45 CFR 46 and has received 600+ pages of testimonies from human subjects and over
1100 responses, which did not include the public comments from the Bioethics Commission.
A moratorium is being requested so that the “Federal Government can get it right”. This is a
massive undertaken, which should require the support of HHS and Congress to ensure that any
new regulations will benefit and protect the rights, safety, and welfare of future human subjects.
We are requesting Congress to conduct investigative hearings about illegal “COINTELPRO”
activities, ratify laws to protect the rights & welfare of the human subjects so that informed
consent is finally on the books and oversee the activities pertaining to the revision of 45 CFR 46
by HHS so that it will become a lawfully, promulgated regulation. Will the revised 45 CFR 46
address the issues of ACHRE, NBAC, Executive Orders/Memos by former President Clinton,
results of the EPA lawsuit, and former Senator John Glenn? How will 45 CFR 46 interact with
FDA regulations (21 CFR 50, 56), HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164), Public Health Service
Act (42 USC 281) & other Federal & State regulations that impact the conduct of human subjects
research? The Common Rule offers more exceptions than FDA regulations do. Should that be
true? More importantly, will 45 CFR 46 become a strict, ethical, and enforceable, lawfully
promulgated Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their actions so
that unethical, human subject research/experiments will be eliminated in the future?
Request to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue Participation as a “Non-consensual” Human Subject
I, Letitia Petershave been randomly selected to be a participant or human subject in a
research/experiment without my voluntary, informed consent, either orally or written and
without my knowledge. In this research/ experiment, I am/have been exposed to
electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma rays, microwave, & infrared)
and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, & radiological). In addition, my body has been
infiltrated with many “unidentified metal devices”. I meet the requirement of a “human subject”
in a “research/experiment” as defined above. I already had a compromised immune system
because of my exposure to toxic molds/mycotoxins while working in the Washington, DC
Federal buildings. I was far from being that “healthy person with no major health ailments”, but I
was working towards it everyday so that I would have a better quality of life and become a
productive U.S. citizen in the workplace and community once again. I am on disability
retirement & I would have never consented to be a “volunteer” in any human subject
research with all of my confirmed diagnoses; especially one which uses gamma rays,
microwave, infrared and weapons (biological, chemical, directed energy & radiological). I
believe that my selection was not equitable in my case as defined in 45 CFR 46.113. I have
endured unnecessary & unimaginable pain and suffering that presents a danger to my
well-being by continuing in this human research. I am in a life-threatening situation
everyday that I continue to be in this human subject research. Furthermore, this violates
my religious principles and beliefs. I want out now! In addition, the National Commission
for the Protection of Human Subjects believed that those who are already burdened (e.g.,
by disabilities or institutionalization) should not be asked to accept the burdens of research
Page 78 of 135
unless other appropriate subjects cannot be found (i.e., if the research concerns their
particular disability or circumstance).
This human subject research/experiment involves noncompliance with 45 CFR 46. This part of
the “Common Rule” is intended to allow IRBs to waive informed consent in its entirety or any of
the required elements of informed consent In order for this human subject/experiment to waive
informed consent it had to meet the 4 criteria in 45 CFR 46.116 (d). An IRB may approve a
consent procedure which does not include, or which alters, some or all of the elements of
informed consent set forth in this section, or waive the requirements to obtain informed consent
provided the IRB finds and documents that: (1) The research involves no more than minimal
risk to the subjects; (2) The waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and
welfare of the subjects; (3) The research could not practicably be carried out without the
waiver or alteration; and (4) Whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with
additional pertinent information after participation.
Risk is defined in The IRB Guidebook as the probability of harm or injury (physical,
psychological, social, or economic) occurring as a result of participation in a research study.
Both the probability and magnitude of possible harm may vary from minimal to significant.
Federal regulations define only “minimal risk.” Minimal risk is defined in the Common Rule as
the probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in
the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy
persons.
The daily exposures of electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma rays,
microwave, & infrared) and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, & radiological)
presents a danger to my overall well-being and has violated my rights and welfare as a human
subject. The human research practices, which I am experiencing, should be reclassified as “cruel
and unusual punishment” or “crimes against humanity”, which goes way beyond the physical or
psychological harm that is “normally” encountered in our daily lives or in the routine medical,
dental, or psychological examination. I am experiencing intentional infliction of severe physical
pain or suffering, which violates my rights and falls under the purview of 18 USC § 2340
Torture. I am in pain everyday, but the degree of the pain varies from day to day and from hour
to hour; from minor discomfort pain to excruciating, agonizing pain, where I am in tears and
crying out for Jesus Christ to deliver me. It has been very unbearable. There have been times that
I could not even get out of bed to bathe or even cook for myself because of the extreme fatigue
and the severity of the pain in my body. I am in excruciating pain for hours and days while
suffering in silence because I did not want my parents to worry and also they do not believe that
we are in a human subject research. My feet would become so swollen due to edema that I could
barely walk. Each step that I would take the shooting pain would resonate throughout my legs.
My legs looked like they were going to “pop”. I would have to elevate them and stay completely
off my feet for a day or several days before they would return to normal & there was no pain. My
stomach, fingers, eyelids, face & head also swells. I would experience constant throbbing of pain
for hours. I went “temporary blind” after being intentionally dosed with chemical:
pesticides/insecticides and the emergency medical care failed to treat me. I could hear my rapid
heart rate when I am in the bed or resting; sometimes I would have heart palpitations. One
incident I developed “red fine bumps” in my head and a couple of days later, my hair fell out in
Page 79 of 135
“clumps” as I was combing it. The National Academy of Sciences states this only occurs with
radiation exposures at 200 rems or higher. My vision has become blurry after these exposures.
My body is under tremendous stress, undue distress and inflicted pain, which affects my
performance to try to run my own business and to live a normal life. My body has been
infiltrated with “unidentifiable metal devices”, which is being picked up by a simple carpenter’s
tool: a stud sensor/finder. I could see two in my neck, because that particular area of my neck
pulsates, when my heart rate increases and another one came out of place in my wrist, which I
saw through my skin. I developed very painful red, blisters/mouth sores overnight, while I am
sleeping. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website in order for the blisters/mouth sores to
develop, radiation was aimed at my head or neck. I have a very dry, metallic taste in my mouth.
My eyes are very dry. I also woke up to an excruciating pounding, headache, which has been
with me all day. My body is “aching” all over, as well as, my parents’ bodies. All of our
diseases have been exacerbated; my father has developed cancer, which could have been a
contributing factor from the environment and I recently spent the night in the hospital with my
mother due to her chest pains and very high blood pressure, which never occurred before. Even
people who visit us are being exposed, including children.
Personal privacy is important to ethical research as stated in 45 CFR 46.111. My confidentiality
and privacy rights have been violated. 45 CFR 46.116 (f) clearly states, “nothing in this policy is
intended to limit the authority of a physician to provide emergency medical care, to the extent
the physician is permitted to do so under applicable federal, state, or local law.” The
“researchers” have interfered with the physicians to provide me with the “appropriate”
emergency care. The physicians released private health information, did not adequately
addressed my complaints, failed to ensure patient care was provided in a safe and effective
manner, did not provide appropriate medical screening exams for me, and failed to treat a sick
and injured patient before releasing me, which violates the Emergency Medical Treatment and
Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Now there is a significant high health risk of me developing a
radiation-related disease that could have been greatly minimized through early detection and
appropriate medical treatment. The “researchers” have used disinformation to cause humiliation,
social stigmatization, and discrimination. Invasion of privacy concerns access to a person’s body
and the “researchers” has access to my body 24/7 and there are countless of men, women and
children, also called “informants” or “perps” who have access to my body 24/7 without my
informed consent or knowledge.
Human Subject Research Violates the Rights & Welfare of Vulnerable Population:
Children
Children have been included in this human subject research, without receiving the
parental/guardian permission consent documentation as defined in 45 CFR 46.408 and these
children/minors are not wards of the state or any other agency, institution, or entity as defined in
45 CFR 46.409. No adequate provisions were made for soliciting the assent of children and the
no permission was granted from their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408 as
stated in 45 CFR 46.407 (iii). These children/minor are involve in research, which involves
greater than minimal risk as defined in 45 CFR 46.404 and does not present the prospect of direct
benefit to them at defined in 45 CFR 46.406. Some of these children are not economically or
Page 80 of 135
educationally disadvantaged, but they have been placed in because of their race. This research is
not being conducted in accordance with sound ethical principles as stated in 45 CFR 46.607 (ii).
Both the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects and the President’s
Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral
Research recommended that such waivers be granted only if subjects will not be denied benefits
or services to which they are otherwise legally entitled. The waiver of informed consent has
diminished the protection of my rights and welfare as a non-consensual human subject. I have
received no respect as a non-consensual human subject. There is a non-verbal element that
“whatever happens to the human subject is of no personal concern to the researcher. They can do
whatever they want to the human subject and there is nothing that the human subject can do
about because no one will help the human subject.”
The waiver of informed consent has caused adverse consequences for my welfare and for my
general well-being, as well as, my loved ones. In addition, our rights, safety, dignity, welfare,
and privacy as non-consensual human subjects have been violated and do not comply with 45
CFR 46. This human subject research/experiment is incompliance with the policy, 45 CFR 46
therefore, as stated in 45 CFR 46.123, it should be terminated. If I continue in this “loosely
controlled” research/experiment, it will likely result in irreversible permanent injury, radiation-
induced diseases or even pre-mature death for myself (this request also includes my family
members who were systematically included in this because of me), because the “researchers”
are operating above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific, ethical, and
humane research. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation immediately
out of this non-consensual human subject research/experiment without prejudice. The
“Common Rule”, 45 CFR 46.116 (a) (8) states, “and the subject may discontinue participation
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled.” I
am not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of my participation as a non-
consensual human subject. The legal rights as a human subject may not be waived and the
human subject may not be asked to release or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the
institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
In the National Institutes of Health, Office for Protection from Research Risks (OPRR)
1993 Institutional Review Board Guidebook in the withdrawal from participation section,
it states, “attention should be paid to subjects’ rights when they decide to withdraw from
participation in the study. The federal regulations clearly require that subjects be free to
withdraw from participation without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise
entitled [Federal Policy §116(a) (8)].”
For research involving more than minimal risk, an explanation as to whether any compensation
and an explanation as to whether any medical treatments are availability of medical treatment
and compensation in the case of research-related injury, including who will pay for the treatment
and the availability of other financial compensation as stated in 45 CFR 46.116(a)(6). In July
2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the preponderance of
scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer or other
health problem and there is no threshold below, which exposure can be viewed as harmless.
According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show that symptoms may persist for up to 10
Page 81 of 135
years and may also have an increased long-term risk for leukemia and lymphoma. The
effects of radiation on the human body can be found at
www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. Will the human subjects be compensated due
to research-related injury?
I, Letitia Peters certify that my decision to “opt-out” or discontinue participation in this human
experiment is without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, coercion or
undue influence on my decision. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation
because of my rights as a human subject as stated in 45 CFR 46 116 (a) (8). This request includes
all of my immediate family members (my elderly parents, my sister’s family and my brother’s
family) who were thrust in this unethical, human subject research/experiment without their
consent or without their knowledge.
In closing, I echo the words announced at the 1976 National Urban League National Conference
on Human Experimentation, “We don’t want to kill science, but we don’t want science to kill,
mangle, & abuse us”.

1st Request to HHS to “Opt-Out” & Propose Moratorium on all U.S. Human
Subject Experiments
March 1, 2012
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
H.H.S. Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
200 Independence Ave. SW
Washington, DC 20201
Re: Request to Discontinue Participation in Non-consensual Human Subject Experiment & to
Propose A 90 day Moratorium on All U.S. Human Subjects Experiments/Experiments that
Receive Federal Funding Internationally
Madam Secretary:
Page 82 of 135
I am writing this letter to request your intervention because many of our avenues to bring this
issue to light have been “obstructed” by informants. While in other cases, the government term
“on a need- to-know basis” comes into practice. The issue is: non-consensual human subjects in
the U.S. I am not only speaking for myself and for my family, but also on behalf of the countless
of my fellow Americans and those worldwide who have been placed in a human subject
experiment, without our voluntary, informed oral or written consent or knowledge. The current
deficiencies in the U.S. human subject research system have made this possible. The Belmont
Report and the Nuremberg Code both addressed voluntary, informed consent as a requirement
for the ethical conduct of human subject research. In 1991, 16 federal agencies adopted 45 CFR
46, Subpart A, which then became known as the “Common Rule”, governs the research on
human subjects. Even though the “Common Rule” has the requirement for informed consent, it
has many “loop holes”, which has not been closed in 20 years, and as a result this has caused
unethical human subjects experimentation on men, women, and children in the U.S. and
Internationally.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Letitia Peters and I was a former Electrical/Electronics
Engineer (GS-14/J) with the Federal Government in NJ and Washington, DC. During my 16
years career, I worked as a project manager managing 3 acquisition programs worth close to
$100 million, test engineer, and a program scheduler. I received accolades for my achievements
at my workplace and in the community. I volunteered as a math tutor in the public school
systems in Washington, DC and I was active in numerous organizations. I loved tutoring
children, which I would like to do again real soon. I also started my own event management
business in 2001 after earning a Master’s Certificate in Event Management from George
Washington University. I started to get very ill in 2003 and I was diagnosed with sick building
syndrome. Toxic mold was prevalent in several Federal buildings in Washington, DC and it was
making several of us sick. Unfortunately, I was terminated in 2006. I developed a 3 minute
video, which you can watch at www.youtube.com/nimsociety. I turned my anger to activism and
I started an organization called National Indoor Mold Society (NIMS). Humbly speaking, in 3 ½
years, we brought awareness to the public, medical field, and lawmakers that exposure to indoor
toxic molds and mycotoxins can cause adverse health effects to humans and pets. The 75th
Nevada legislature passed legislation declared September 2009 as National Indoor Toxic Mold
Awareness Month (NITMAM) in their state. Even though I was forced to close NIMS, the
people, businesses and organizations are still today celebrating September as NITMAM, which
was spearheaded by NIMS. Many of the archived radio shows are still available at
www.talkshoe.com. I was feeling better and I was working towards being active in the
community once again. My life changed drastically in September 2009, after I attempted to file a
cyber stalking report and to request that computer forensics be done. One NJ police officer told
me that no one will look at your computer. He was right. Since then, my life has been a
rollercoaster to say the least. I have not done anything to anyone to warrant such unusual and
cruel punishment. I realize that these people will never stop until I am dead so I will stop at
nothing for justice. I have done extensive research on the human subjects experiments in the U.S.
and Internationally. It has taken me years to figure out what was happening to me. At first, I
thought it was because of my activism work so I stopped doing the radio shows and eventually
closed NIMS. My health did not improve it got worse because I was receiving the most
Page 83 of 135
aggressive form of torture that a human person could ever endure. I suffered many nights in
silence, thinking how a human being could do this to another human being. My nightmare began
while I was still employed as a Federal Government employee. As unbelievable, and as
unthinkable this may sound, but I reasonably believe that my family and I (includes children and
elderly), have been placed in this non-consensual human subject experiment as a form of
retaliation because I was a Federal whistleblower. I only wanted to work in a healthy work
environment because the exposure to toxic mold was causing adverse health effects for me
Madam Secretary, I, like so many other non-consensual human subjects are enduring inhumane
treatment everyday 24/7. We would like to eat food that is not contaminated with chemicals,
radiation, or heaven knows what. We would like to have one solid night of sleep, without being
wakened out of sleep, because our neighbors are beaming us with electromagnetic weapons. We
want our lives back now. I will do everything possible with the help of Jesus Christ to ensure that
the next generation is not a “guinea pig” for the rest of his/her lives. Many non-consensual
human subjects testified at the Bioethics Commission 4thand 5th meetings. You can watch
Meeting 4 session 10 (March 1, 2011) and Meeting 5 Session 6 (May 18, 2011): Public
Comments at bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-four and bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-five. In addition,
you can download the transcript in pdf file or watch the live archived sessions. I echo the words
that were announced at the 1976 National Urban League National Conference on Human
Experimentation, “we don’t want to kill science, but we don’t want science to kill, mangle, &
abuse us”.
How do I know that I am/we are in an experiment/research?
We meet the definition of being a human subject in an experiment/research as defined in 45 CFR
46.102, as well as, according to California Law, Health & Safety Code Section 24171, a medical
experiment is defined as “the severance or penetration or damaging of tissues of a human subject
or the use of a drug or device, electromagnetic radiation, heat or cold, or a biological substance
or organism, in or upon a human subject in the practice of research of medicine in a manner not
reasonably related to maintaining or improving the health of the subject or otherwise directly
benefiting the subject.” The informants are utilizing COINTELPRO tactics. COINTELPRO is a
well-organized, well-funded, well-connected, well-orchestrated operation with vast resources
across state lines and Internationally. COINTELPRO is an acronym for Counter Intelligence
Program. Wikipedia states, “it was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the
United States Federal Bureaus of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating,
discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations. COINTELPRO tactics included
discrediting through targets through psychological warfare, planting false reports in the media,
smearing through forged reports, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, extralegal violence and
assassination. COINTELPRO took place between 1956 and 1971. Officially, COINTELPRO
was termination in April 1971, but was it? The last major Congressional investigation of
COINTELPRO operations was conducted in 1976-1978 by the Church Committee. These
horrifying reports did not provide any effective legislative remedies for future victims. Nor did
they produce any prosecutions of proven criminals within the Justice Department.
COINTELPRO covert operations have been unleashed to neutralize the non-consensual human
subjects, which includes advanced electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including
Page 84 of 135
gamma rays, microwave, & infrared), weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, &
radiological), implants, and satellites/drones. You can read more information about the current
COINTELPRO tactics at www.COINTELPROContinuesToday.org.
Recently, Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-MA) has authored the Confidential Informant
Accountability Act of 2011, H.R. 3228, which would require Federal law enforcement agencies
to report to Congress serious crimes, authorized, as well as, unauthorized, committed by their
confidential informants, to amend title 28, United States Code, with respect to certain tort claims
arising out of the criminal misconduct of confidential informants and for other purposes.
Deficiencies with the Current Regulations in the Human Research System
Since 1991, the Common Rule has not been a strict, ethical, enforceable and lawfully,
promulgated regulation. The Common Rule “was originally written by the National Institutes of
Health and do not always appropriately address the ethical issues in research outside of the
biomedical context.” It is now being updated after 20 years. Year and year, Congress, HHS &
other Federal agencies continued to sponsor federally funded human subjects experiments,
without ratifying any Federal regulations & International standards, which would protect the
human subjects. Congress and HHS have failed to ratified legislation which would have closed
the loopholes for the protection of the human research subjects. These deficiencies have
benefited the researchers and have not protected the human subjects. There are:
1. Former President Clinton & the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation
Experiments (ACHRE): He directed the ACHRE to uncover the truth, recommend steps to
right past wrongs and propose ways to prevent unethical human subjects research from occurring
in the future. The Federal Government and Government officials failed ignored to implement
many of the 18 recommendations outlined in the ACHRE’s final report as well as, the March 27,
1997 former President William Clinton’s Memorandum: Directive to Strengthened Protections
for Human Subjects of Classified Research; thus allowing continuous waivers for informed
consent of classified and secret human subjects experiments; no sanctions for conducting
research unethically; allowing for research conducted by Federal agencies that do not follow the
Common Rule, privately funded research that is not regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration or private individuals or institutions that do not receive any Federal funding to
conduct human subjects research without requiring that informed consent must be obtained for
the past 15 to 20 years. DHHS failed to implement the memorandum, but NASA has included it
in their policy. As a result, many human subjects’ experiments are being conducted without
being required to obtain informed consent.
2. Former Senator John Glenn: There is no law on the books requiring that
informed consent must be obtained. Informed consent must be obtained prior to conducting
research on human subjects. Former Senator John Glenn cited this issue in 1997 in his remarks
for his proposed legislation S. 193, Human Research Subject Protection Act to the 105th
Congress. The intent therefore of this legislation is twofold: First, to fill in the gaps of coverage
of the common rule by requiring all research involving human subjects to abide by the rule; and
Page 85 of 135
second, to elevate the importance of conducting research ethically, the bill provides criminal
fines and penalties for failure to comply with the requirements of this law, and by extension 45
CFR 46. The full text is available for your review at
http://home.swipnet.se/allez/Eng/HumExpEn.htm. Former Senator John Glenn said, “I want to
put this in personal terms once again. You just think about your own family, your own son, your
own daughter, or grandchildren who might be, the next time they go to a doctor, the subject of
some medical experiment that they are not even told about. I do not think there can be many
things more un-American than that. That is unconscionable, and we should not permit that.”
3. Proposed Congressional Legislation to Protect the Human Subjects: Congress
passed the Defense Authorization Act of 2012 in less than a year, but Congress has failed to
ratify any proposed legislation for the protection of human subjects in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2006,
2008 and 2011 for the past 15 years. In the April 29, 2002 press release, Congress Examines
Research Protection Oversight System: Legislation Needed”, Congress examines research
protection oversight system and states that legislation is needed, but it is never ratified. The full
press release can be found at http://www.cossa.org/hsbackground.htm.Year after year, Congress
and HHS has funded human subjects’ experiments, without having proper legislation to protect
the human subjects. This has allowed for unethical, non-consensual human subject experiments
to continue. A list of the proposed laws is at www.circare.org.
4. President Clinton & National Bioethics Advisory Commission: The issue of
informed consent were addressed in 4 reports (1998, 1999a, 1999b, and 2001) because the topic
is central to the protections offered to research. As a first priority, NBAC shall direct its attention
to the consideration of the protection of the rights and welfare of humans research subjects. On
May 17, 1997, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) unanimously adopted a
resolution that “No person in the United States should be enrolled in research without the twin
protection of informed consent by an authorized persons and independent review of the risks and
benefits of the research. Later that month, Former President Clinton stated that “Science must
respect the dignity of every American. We must never allow our citizens to be unwitting guinea
pigs in scientific experiments that put them at risk without their consent and full knowledge.”
Almost 15 years later, the former Senator John Glenn’s, NBAC’s and former President
Clintons’goals remains unmet. In the May 4, 1999 letter, NBAC Chair, Harold T. Shapiro’s
memo to former President Clinton stated in his memo “Consistent with your October 3, 1995,
Executive Order 12975, the NBAV has focused a good deal of its efforts over the last three years
on issues surrounding the protection of human research subjects…I know of your interest, as
well as that of the Congress, which has rightfully inquired about the adequacy of existing
protections… our key concerns are
the following:
· Federal protections for persons serving as human research subjects do not yet
extend to all Americans.
· Despite widespread implementation of federal regulations by those departments
Page 86 of 135
and agencies sponsoring substantial amounts of biomedical research, a number of
departments and agencies who sponsor primarily non-biomedical research or little research
overall have failed to implement these federal protections.
· Federal protections do not always include specific provisions for especially
vulnerable populations of research subjects.
· Many federal agencies find the interpretation and implementation of the Common Rule
confusing and/or unnecessarily burdensome.
· Federal protections are difficult to enforce and improve effectively throughout the Federal
Government, in part because no single authority or office oversees research protections across all
government agencies and departments.
· New techniques are needed to ensure implementation at the local level.
5. EPA sued by the Pesticide Industry: March 2002 — the pesticide industry sued EPA
over this approach, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that
EPA’s interim approach was not established through required notice and comment rulemaking
and should be vacated. In a June 2003 decision, the court stated that, as a consequence, "the
agency’s previous practice of considering third-party human studies on a case-by-case
basis, applying statutory requirements, the Common Rule, and high ethical standards as a
guide, is reinstated and remains in effect unless and until it is replaced by a lawfully
promulgated regulation."
In conclusion, there have been many attempts to ensure that the safety and welfare of the human
subjects are protected, but many Federal agencies have failed to implement these federal
protections, including DHHS and Congress. In the 2001 NBAC’s final report states, “Despite the
fact that many research institutions voluntarily apply the Common Rule-even to their privately
financed research-there are other significant sectors of privately funded research that remain
ungoverned either by State or Federal law. NBAC finds that the absence of Federal jurisdiction
over much privately funded research means that the U.S. government cannot know how many
Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they have been
recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks they are
undertaking, and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed. Not only does this
prevent the Federal Government from protecting Americans enrolling in research, but it affects
the Federal Government’s ability to craft policies governing emerging technologies. While
preparing its 1997 report Cloning Human Beings, for example, NBAC noted that the Common
Rule’s lack of jurisdiction over privately funded research made it impossible to rely on
IRBs as the primary mechanism for protecting human subjects against inappropriate uses
of those technologies.” I have completed a 41 page analysis, which discuss these issues in depth
is available for review.
Page 87 of 135
Failure of OHRP to Investigate Allegations
"If HHS receives an allegation or indication of noncompliance related to human subject research
that is conducted or supported solely by a Common Rule department/agency other than HHS,
HHS will refer the matter to that department/agency for review and action as appropriate" as
stated at http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/ . In May 2011, I went to
OHRP’s office to file a formal complaint to find out which Federal agency was responsible for
conducting non-consensual human experimentation on my family and on those Americans in the
U.S.A. I was told by OHRP’s management that “there was nothing that this office could do for
you and that you should contact each agency and request a FOIA request.” In addition, she was
not aware of any agency, which was using electromagnetic radiation. I walked out with a copy of
the Belmont report and the 45 CFR 46 in my hands, which I received. Others who contacted
OHRP have received a similar response by letter, which states: "OHRP has determined that it
does not have jurisdiction over the matters referenced in your letter. Therefore, OHRP
will not be able to pursue this matter on your behalf.” If it is not OHRP’s jurisdiction, to
ensure compliance oversight over human subject research, then who is responsible? Since
January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use the Internet-based registration maintained by DHHS as
stated in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer right on DHHS’s website?
Madam Secretary, this is why 11 years later from the issue of the final NBAC report, we are
coming to you, as non-consensual human research subjects to ask for your intervention to honor
our 3 requests as per the “Common Rule.” Many of us are in life-threatening situations.
1. “Non-consensual” Human Research Subjects Request to Discontinue Participation
I am speaking for myself and for my family, as well as, on behalf of the countless of my fellow
Americans and those worldwide who have been placed in a human experiment, without our
voluntary, informed written or oral consent or knowledge. I am writing you today to request that
we would like to discontinue or “opt-out” our participation in these human subject experiments
without prejudice. As stated in 45 CFR 46.116 (a)(8)) states , ” and the subject may discontinue
participation at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise
entitled.” I am not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of my participation as a
non-consensual human subject. The legal rights of subjects may not be waived and human
subjects may not be asked to release or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the
institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
2. Human Subject Research Fails to Meet the 4 Criteria to Waive Informed Consent
According to 45 CFR 46.116 (d), ALL of the 4 criteria listed must be met to waive informed
consent. An IRB may approve a consent procedure which does not include, or which alters,
some or all of the elements of informed consent set forth in this section, or waive the
requirements to obtain informed consent provided the IRB finds and documents that:
Page 88 of 135
(1) The research involves no more than minimal risk to the subjects; Minimal risk is the
probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in the
daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy persons.
(2) The waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and welfare of the subjects;
(3) The research could not practicably be carried out without the waiver or alteration; and
(4) Whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with additional pertinent information
after participation.
Each one of the 4 criteria to waive informed consent has been violated:
In response to (1) The research practices, which myself and many other non-consensual human
subjects can be reclassified as “cruel and unusual punishment” or “crimes against humanity”,
which goes way beyond the physical or psychological harm that is “normally” encountered or in
the routine of a medical, dental, or psychological examination. This is torture. As a result, many
non-consensual human subjects are/were diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses; many are
maimed or died as a result of the daily torture with lasers, electromagnetic radiation- gamma
rays, infrared, microwave. Some even committed suicide. Many have lost their hair and teeth.
In response to (2): The rights and welfare of the subjects have been affected. The basic ethical
principles of respect of persons, beneficence and justice as stated in the Belmont report have
been violated. According to 45 CFR 46.123, the department or agency head may require that
department or agency support for any project be terminated or suspended in the manner
prescribed in applicable program requirements, when the department or agency head finds an
institution has materially failed to comply with the terms of this policy. In addition, whether the
applicant or the person or persons who would direct or has/have directed the scientific and
technical aspects of an activity has/have, in the judgment of the department or agency head,
materially failed to discharge responsibility for the protection of the rights and welfare of human
subjects (whether or not the research was subject to federal regulation).
In response to (3) If the research could not be carried out without the waiver or alteration, then
maybe it should not be doing it in the first place.
In response to (4): This is an ambiguous and open-ending statement with no timeframe attached
to it. My family and I have never received any additional pertinent information after
participation. When appropriate could mean anytime including after I am dead.
3. Human Subject Research Violates the Rights & Welfare of Vulnerable Population:
Children
Many children/minors have been included in this human subject research, without receiving
parental/guardian permission consent documentation as defined in 45 CFR 46.408 and these
Page 89 of 135
children/minors are not wards of the state or any other agency, institution, or entity as defined in
45 CFR 46.409. No adequate provisions were made for soliciting the assent of children and the
permission of their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408 as stated in 45 CFR
46.407 (iii). These children/minor are involve in research, which involves greater than minimal
risk as defined in 45 CFR 46.404 and does not present the prospect of direct benefit to them at
defined in 45 CFR 46.406. In July 2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the
conclusion that the preponderance of scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of
radiation pose a risk of cancer or other health problem and there is no threshold below, which
exposure can be viewed as harmless. According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show that
symptoms may persist for up to 10 years and may also have an increased long-term risk for
leukemia and lymphoma.The effects of radiation on the human body can be found at
www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. As a result, the children’s DNA has been
altered and now these ” DNA mutations” will become part of their permanent DNA. Now, when
they will have children and this new modified DNA will become part of their hereditary and
passed on for future generations to their children and their children’s children. Some of these
children are not economically or educationally disadvantaged, but they have been placed in
because of their race. This research is not being conducted in accordance with sound ethical
principles as stated in 45 CFR 46.607 (ii).
Request a 90 day Moratorium on all U.S. Human Research Subjects/ Federally Funded
Human Subjects Experiments Internationally: Serious Concerns about the Current Update
of the “Common Rule” and the Future of Human Subjects Research/Experiments
I am requesting a 90 day moratorium on all U.S. Human Research Subjects/Federally Funded
Human Subjects Experiments Internationally until laws are ratified because the current Federal
laws and International standards do not protect the human research subjects. This is a massive
undertaking. It has been 20 years since this document has been updated. Even thought we have
been treated like “animals”, we are human beings. We should have the same rights as everyone
else. This will allow Congress and the DHHS to develop a comprehensive plan to resolve this
important issue that affects the lives of human beings. It appears that this is no big thing, but it is
a MASSIVE thing for us, because you have no clue how it feels to lose your eyesight
(temporarily and then regain it) or not being able to barely walk because of the excruciating pain
. There has been poor oversight by HHS and Congress in the past 15 to 20 years for the
protection of human subjects. Will the new revised “Common Rule” include the issues of
ACHRE, NBAC, Executive Orders and Memorandums by former President Clinton, results of
the EPA lawsuit, and former Senator John Glenn? If these issues are not even in the new revised
Common Rule we will have the same problem today of “non-consensual” human subjects in the
future.
Is there a conflict of interest with DHHS sponsoring experiments & those who are on the
Advisory Board? How can DHHS “police” itself? In FY 1999, DHHS was the largest sponsor of
Page 90 of 135
federally funded programs. There was a proposal to have an independent organization to provide
oversight for human subject research.
Has HHS reviewed the Europeans laws on the protection of human subjects’ experiments? The
European has stricter laws and many of them have come to conduct their clinical trials in the
U.S. because it is “easier”. Everyone is aware of the “easy pass”, which is available. What steps
will be taken to mitigate that the new laws are advantageous to the human subjects? The
Common Rule should include regulations for biomedical and non-biomedical.I propose that
Congress and DHHS should work closely together during while ratifying the Common Rule.
DHHS has received over 1153 responses and not including the comments from the Bioethics
Commission. Based on the past history of the DHHS, can they be objective to develop a Federal
regulation, which is beneficial to the protection of human subjects and not advantageous to the
researchers? Does DHHS have the resources, knowledge, skills, and ability to revise “The
Common Rule” to become a strict, ethical, enforceable and lawfully, promulgated regulation that
will protect the human subjects? If the Federal regulation, “The Common Rule” is revised
correctly, then (1) Many human subjects’ experiments will decrease dramatically (2) Researchers
will face criminal charges, therefore eliminating the “free pass” for researchers to persecute,
maim, mutilate, and even kill their human subjects and (3) informed consent will be required,
therefore eliminating the researchers ability to “select anyone that they want of their chosen,
without informing them” to participate in their experiments. More importantly, will it be an
enforceable Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their actions
and it will eliminate many future unethical, human experiments? In addition, there will no
longer be people in lifelong non-consensual human subjects. All human subjects’ experiments
will be transparent. Will HHS bring in outside experts? How long will they take? The ACHRE
used hundreds of people to go through all of those documents. Is Congress going to ratify its
Human Subjects Protection Act? Will the revised “Common Rule” go out for review to the
public again? Will the resolution of those public comments be posted? I am proposing a monthly
update by HHS to Congress in this process and then to the public. Can the public be involved?
Approximately 600 pages of U.S. victims’ testimonies were submitted to the Department of
Health & Human Services, Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) in Oct. /Nov. 2011.
On Nov. 23, 2011, I sent a letter via email to the Bioethics Commission & to OHRP to respond
to OHRP’s Federal Register that OHRP will accept the public comments from the Bioethics
Commission. In addition, one other victim also forwarded a letter to them as well. Was this
action completed? I also sent my comments, which I provided to the Bioethics Commission.
HHS should have received the 25 pages of legal analyses: 12 pages of analysis by G. Mason cites
legal cases (many attorneys would like this one) proves the inadequacy of 45 CFR 46 in
enforcing the right to informed consent and retired attorney Robert S., provides more proof that
the Federal Government agencies are involved and he discusses modern-day COINTELPRO
tactics. This document is also available for review at www.COINTELPROContinuesToday.org.
In Dec. 20111, Bioethics Commission received 41 pages of analysis by Former Federal Govt.
engineer, Letitia Peters provides proof that the Federal Government agencies and Congress have
not ratified laws to protect human subjects in almost 20 years. From pages 36 to the end, she
presents information relevant to HHS, Congress, & to the Federal Government agencies. My
Page 91 of 135
concerns about DHHS capabilities to handle a massive undertaking of updating 45 CFR 46 after
20 years are a serious concern. What will be Congress’ role? This document will be available for
review at www.thecanche.tumblr.com.
In closing, I support the efforts that America has done to condone crimes against humanity and
torture in other nations, but now we need America to be here for us: the American people. My
religious beliefs have been violated by being in a non-consensual human subject research as
well. There are countless of men, women, and children in America and worldwide who are
unaware that they are victims of COINTELPRO abuse and/or have been placed in a non-
consensual human subject research. They do not attribute their ongoing “bad luck”; mishaps;
animal killings; or mysterious, untreatable, disabling “environmental” diseases to covert
operatives using old COINTELPRO tactics plus new weapons of war to terrorize, neutralize, and
prevent resisting the treatment. These professional, well-orchestrated intrusions induce
excruciating pain, exhaustion, terror, alienation, and sometimes result in violent behavior against
themselves or others - eventually, one way or another, “neutralizing” and killing the non-
consensual human subject. We want our lives back now. Princeton Theologian, Paul Ramsey
whose 1970 work, The Patient as a Person states, “No man is good enough to experiment upon
another without his consent.”

Out” & Propose a Moratorium on all U.S. Human Subject Research

“Taking A Stand Against Injustice” Series (Part 1 of 3)
In this first article, we will discuss justice for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. Since the
non-consensual human subjects/TIs meet the definition of being a “human subject” in a
“research” or “medical experiment”, they can request to “opt-out” of the human subject research
at any time without prejudice. This is stated in Federal law. These “researchers” are operating
above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific, ethical, and humane research.
There is no way for us to determine the name of the research or medical experiment, because
there are over 55,000 projects, which involves human subject research and we were placed into
this human subject research without our informed consent or knowledge. For the past 15-20
years, both HHS and Congress have failed to close the gaps or “loopholes” to protect the human
subjects. Year after year, they have continued to sponsor billions of dollars in human subject
research, without ratifying any laws to protect the human subjects. Currently, NO ONE is
IMMUNE from being used as a human “guinea pig” because the laws are not there to
protect you! First, we seek a moratorium on all U.S. human subject research. Second, we want
Congress to conduct hearings on COINTELPRO activities and pertaining to the obstruction of
justice being committed by informants from the private sector, city, state, and even including the
Federal Government. Finally, how do HHS and Congress intend to ratify laws to protect human
subjects in the future? Recently, the world has seen in the case of the late Trayvon Martin, which
was an awful tragedy in itself, where the police chose not to enforce the law, even with all of the
evidence presented in the case. It took people from all ages and walks of life protesting, signing
petitions and receiving national and worldwide media publicity in order for justice to prevail. We
thank God for answering our prayers. The case for Trayvon Martin represents all of us who have
been seeking justice, but were unable to get it before. Now the bar has been raised to a higher
level in America. The non-consensual human subjects/TIs are seeking justice because the laws
are in place, but the “people” are choosing not to enforce or adhere to the laws. Our slogan is
“We say NO to COINTELPRO and YES to JUSTICE. We say NO to NON-
CONSENSUAL HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION, and YES to JUSTICE. Will you stand up
with us to seek justice for the non-consensual human subjects/TIs as well?
HUMAN SUBJECTS/TIs TO HHS SECRETARY & CONGRESS: REQUEST TO “OPT-
OUT” OF UNETHICAL RESEARCH & PROPOSE A MORATORIUM ON ALL U.S.
HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH
Page 93 of 135
“It is a moral issue, but for many it violates their religious beliefs and principles.”
April 24, 2012 -Trenton, NJ- In 1997, former Senator John Glenn said, “I want to put this in
personal terms once again. You just think about your own family, your own son, your own
daughter, or grandchildren who might be, the next time they go to a doctor, the subject of some
medical experiment that they are not even told about. I do not think there can be many things
more un-American than that. That is unconscionable, and we should not permit that.” Why are
there still non-consensual human subject research occurring in 2012, which are maiming, killing
or driving people to suicide? Aren’t there laws in place to protect the human subjects?
In Dr. Harriett A. Washington’s book, Medical Apartheid documents many non-consensual
human subject research/experiment cases. In 1994, the Medical University of South Carolina in
Charleston was accused of enrolling poor African-American women into narcotic-treatment
research without their knowledge. In 1995, an experimental measles vaccine was tested on
mostly African-American and Hispanic children in Los Angeles, without receiving their parents’
informed consent. From 1994 to 1995, New York City law enforcement officials helped
researchers coerce African-American parents into enrolling their boys into a study that sought to
establish a genetic propensity for violence, without receiving their parents’ informed consent.
This scourge has spread beyond racial minorities, as detailed in her new book, Deadly
Monopolies. Since the 1980s, approximately 20 U.S. research projects have won legal waivers
allowing them to bypass any form of informed consent. In 2011, drug giant Pfizer paid $75
million to settle claims that children in Kano state, Nigeria, were injured or killed by non-
consensual administration of its experimental meningitis drug Trovan.
Letitia Peters, a former Federal Government electronics engineer and non-consensual human
subject states, “I would have never imagined that as a law-abiding U.S. citizen (except for a few
parking and speeding tickets) that I would be going through horrific ordeal in America and in
2012. All attempts to silence me with extreme persecution, torture or by any means possible have
failed. I have been treated worse than an animal. I speak on behalf of countless of men, women,
and children in the U.S. and around the world. We are Americans and are entitled to nothing
less than the full rights of every American. The acts of violence that have been taken
against us, should be condemned by all Americans and those worldwide who value freedom
and justice. We have become someone else’s property because our rights, welfare and safety
have been affected. Isn’t that slavery? Now, we are human subjects in a project involving human
subject research without our knowledge or informed consent. For many of us, it is a moral issue,
but for some this violates our religious beliefs and principles. The current Federal laws have not
protected us. I would never “volunteer” to be a human subject with my many health ailments
confirmed by several physicians. The three generations of my family has been placed in this
unethical, human subject research. I love my family, but to do this to the children and to my
elderly parents is totally unacceptable. Is this genocide? My family does not believe that they
have been placed in this unethical, human subject research. History is repeating itself. Logically,
it does not make sense and it is not the acceptable norm. No man has the right to do this to
another fellowman. Many of you would not like it if the tables were turned and this was being
done to your family. Why are you doing this? You are serving Satan who comes to kill, steal,
and destroy. In Jesus’ name, may the angel of the Lord persecute and chase them who are
adversaries to our souls and want to do us harm.
Page 94 of 135
I WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ANYONE: NOT TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS,
NEIGHBORS, OR EVEN COMPLETE STRANGERS.
I have a strong spiritual faith and belief in God/Yahweh and this violates my faith as a follower
of Jesus Christ/Yeshua. I thank my enemies for helping me to develop a closer relationship with
Yahweh through Yeshua. He has been my provider, refuge, fortress, shield, vindicator, healer,
fortress, restorer, and deliverer. He is the only reason why I am still alive because of His grace
and mercy. I stand on the Word of God in the Holy Bible because it is the only truth 24/7. I love
Yahweh with all of my heart, mind, soul, and strength and He is worthy of my praise. It is
finished! Hallelujah!
No Response from HHS about Opt-Out Requests
Letitia Peters, further states, “in my in-depth research, I discovered that America has a 100 year
history of using minorities, especially African-Americans and their children and women as
“guinea pigs” without the human subjects or parent’s knowledge or informed consent. In
addition, this human subject research does not comply with 45 CFR 46 Subpart A, “The
Common Rule” because the rights, welfare, and safety of the human subjects have been affected
and the research involves more than minimal risk. The research practices, which we are
experiencing can be reclassified as “cruel and unusual punishment” or “crimes against
humanity”, which goes way beyond the physical or psychological harm that is normally
encountered in the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of
healthy person as defined by minimal risk. This is torture. Many are maimed, been diagnosed
with cancer or other illnesses, committed suicide or died a premature death. The basic ethical
principles of respect of persons, beneficence and justice as stated in the Belmont report have
been violated. Human subjects should be protected by the authorized agency, HHS and not by
the researchers.”
On March 2, 2012, I emailed an 8 page letter to HHS requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue
participation in this human subject research, but I have not received an official response from
them. On March 20, 2012 and April 12, 2012, I emailed a second request using this opt-out form.
Others have also written to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius requesting that as a human subject,
we have a right to be “opt-out” or discontinue participation in a human subject research.
Case of Elmer Allen, a Non-Consensual Human Subject Diagnosed as Paranoid
Schizophrenic
It is documented in official Federal Government medical records/documents that the Federal
Government scientists diagnosed many non-consensual human subjects with “neurosis” or
“paranoid schizophrenic” who stated that he/she was being experimented on by the Federal
Government. For example, this was documented in the case of the late Elmer Allen. The sad part
about Elmer Allen’s story is that nobody believed him. He went to his doctor and told him, “I
think I’ve been injected with something.” His doctor diagnosed him as a paranoid schizophrenic
at the same time that he was conversing with the atomic energy scientists in Argon National Lab
to provide them with tissue samples. Elmer Allen was not only used in 1947 when he was
injected with this radioactive isotope, but he continued to be used as a guinea pig for the rest of
Page 95 of 135
his life. When Elmer Allen’s daughter, Elmerine was interviewed, she told the story of when she
left for college, her father would tell her watch out, “Don’t let the U.S. government guinea-pig
you.” And they always thought that Elmer Allen had some kind of, well, Elmer was kind of
quirky, and he had this delusion that the government experimented on him.
In the 1970’s, a second generation of atomic scientists rediscovered this experiment. So they
wanted to dig up all the people who were dead, who had been injected with plutonium, and they
also wanted to bring whoever survived them back into the lab for further studies. Elmer Allen
was one of those people who was still alive.
AMY GOODMAN: Under what pretext since he didn’t know, supposedly, that he was a U.S.
government guinea pig?
EILEEN WELSOME: They told Elmer, and this is all documented in the medical records, that
they knew he had a very serious cancer and they wanted to know how he had lived so long.
The entire transcript about Elmer Allen is at
http://www.democracynow.org/2004/5/5/plutonium_files_how_the_u_s.
Discredit the Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs by Committing them to A Mental
Institution by “Any Means Possible”
Like Elmer Allen, many non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) have tried to
bring this to the public’s, family’s, or friend’s attention, but they have been called “crazy”,
“delusional” or been diagnosed with a “mental illness”. Police officers, psychiatrists, judges,
physicians, Federal intelligence agents & their family members, friends, and associates are being
used to discredit the non-consensual human subjects/TIs. Many of these individuals are
informants (perps or perpetrators, moles or double agents). The police were involved in non-
consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) being committed “for observation” even
though they were not harming themselves or others. Some have said that the police had lied to
them and even put them in handcuffs to take them to a mental institution. Who would believe a
“crazy person”? Now the committed non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs)
are afraid to speak about their ordeal because they fear that they might be recommitted again and
this time even longer. All of the non-consensual human subjects have stated that it has never
been suggested for them to see a psychiatrist, but they always want the human subjects/TIs
to be committed to a mental institution. This tactic is also a form of adult “bullying” in
order to intimidate the non-consensual human subject to keep silent. It can also be
perceived as an “abuse of power” as well.
Technology has changed and people are unaware that some technology can be used on them
without them even knowing it. Electromagnetic radiation is one of them, because it is invisible to
the naked eye. People are unaware that electromagnetic radiation can change their pleasant, easy
going personalities into angry or hostile ones in a matter of seconds or even make someone
irritated by bringing up a particular subject.
Many non-consensual human subjects have been wrongfully committed to mental institutions
and given a diagnosis of schizophrenia, neurosis, or other mental illnesses. Schizophrenia is a
disease that typically begins in early adulthood; between the ages of 15 and 25. Men tend to
get develop schizophrenia slightly earlier than women; whereas most males become ill between
Page 96 of 135
16 and 25 years old, most females develop symptoms several years later, and the incidence in
women is noticably higher in women after age 30. The average age of onset is 18 in men and 25
in women. Schizophrenia onset is quite rare for people under 10 years of age, or over 40
years of age. Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder for most people who are afflicted, and very
costly for families and society. The overall U.S. 2002 cost of schizophrenia was estimated to be
$62.7 billion, with $22.7 billion excess direct health care cost ($7.0 billion outpatient, $5.0
billion drugs, $2.8 billion inpatient, $8.0 billion long-term care). (source: Analysis Group, Inc.)
This is being done so that no one will ever investigate these allegations and the scientists can
continue with their unethical human subject research. There’s a saying “what’s done in the dark
will be brought to the light”. In Luke 8:17 states, “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made
manifest; neither anything hid, that shall be known and come abroad.” This is what happened in
the case of Elmer Allen who lived to be told that he was in a human subject research for over
20+ years, without his knowledge or informed consent. He was telling the truth and he was not
delusional. Truth did prevail. We will fight for all human subjects/TIs that were wrongfully
diagnosed with a mental illness to have this permanently expunged from their medical records.
Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs Should Send their “Opt-Out” form to HHS and to
Congress
The “Common Rule” has not been updated in 20 years and has failed to protect the human
subject since 1991. Obviously, there are serious deficiencies with informed consent in the
“Common Rule”. There is no enforceable Federal regulation or International standard on the
books for informed consent to be required because Congress has failed to ratify any proposed
legislations pertaining to human subject protection in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, and
2011, thus allowing for unethical human subjects experiments to occur.
Non-consensual human subjects/Targeted Individuals (TIs) should revise this “opt-out” form by
inserting in their own story concentrating on their pain and the violation of their rights, safety,
and welfare as a human subject and send it to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at
[email protected]. The mailing address is:

Conference in Washington, DC today.
Failure of OHRP to Investigate Allegations
On behalf of the Secretary, HHS, the Office on Human Research Protections (OHRP) approves
the terms of these written institutional assurances, which constitute binding commitments. In
essence, OHRP holds accountable and depends on institutional officials, committees,
researchers, and other agents of the institution to comply with the institution’s assurance and the
regulations. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, OHRP’s Division of Compliance
Oversight monitors compliance through not-for-cause compliance oversight surveillance
activities and for-cause compliance oversight evaluations of allegations or indications of
noncompliance with the regulations. OHRP has the authority under Title IV of the Public
Health Service Act (42 USC 281 et seq.) to investigate complaints about human subject
protections in HHS-conducted or -funded research, as well as any other research covered
by the institution’s Assurance of Compliance. OHRP also promotes compliance through its
Division of Policy and Assurances, which provides policy and guidance documents pertaining to
the regulatory requirements in 45 CFR 46. If HHS receives an allegation or indication of
noncompliance related to human subject research that is conducted or supported solely by a
Common Rule department/agency other than HHS, HHS will refer the matter to that
department/agency for review and action as appropriate” as stated at
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/.
On April 26, 2011, I met with Kristina C. Borror Ph.D., Division of Compliance Oversight
Director to file a formal complaint and to find out which Federal agency was responsible for
conducting non-consensual human experimentation on me and others. I was told by Ms. Borror
that there was nothing that her office could do for me and that I should contact each agency and
file a FOIA request with each one. I knew there were a lot of research projects using human
subjects and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be very difficult, if not
impossible to find, since there are more than 55,000 projects that involve human subjects. Others
who contacted OHRP have received this response by letter, which states: “OHRP has determined
that it does not have jurisdiction over the matters referenced in your letter. Therefore, OHRP
will not be able to pursue this matter on your behalf.” Since January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use
the Internet-based registration maintained by HHS as stated in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer
right on HHS’s website?
Non-Consensual Human Subjects Testimonies & Request for a Moratorium
Congress and HHS are sponsoring projects involving human subjects, without 45 CFR 46 being
an enforceable lawfully, promulgated regulation, informed consent being on the books or a
Page 98 of 135
ratified Human Subjects Research Protection Law. As a result, “the absence of Federal
jurisdiction over much privately funded research means that the U.S. government cannot know
how many Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they
have been recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks
they are undertaking, and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed.” Many non-
consensual human subjects testified at the Bioethics Commission’s Meeting 4 Session 10 (March
1, 2011) and Meeting 5 Session 6 (May 18, 2011): Public Comments. There were others who
submitted their written testimonies. The archived transcripts and videos are available at
bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-four and bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-five. Several months later, the
Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) requested public comments pertaining to the
update of 45 CFR 46 and has received 600+ pages of testimonies from human subjects and over
1100 responses, which did not include the public comments from the Bioethics Commission.
A moratorium is being requested so that the “Federal Government can get it right”. This is a
massive undertaken, which should require the support of HHS and Congress to ensure that any
new regulations will benefit and protect the rights, safety, and welfare of future human subjects.
We are requesting Congress to conduct investigative hearings about illegal “COINTELPRO”
activities, ratify laws to protect the rights & welfare of the human subjects so that informed
consent is finally on the books and oversee the activities pertaining to the revision of 45 CFR 46
by HHS so that it will become a lawfully, promulgated regulation. Will the revised 45 CFR 46
address the issues of ACHRE, NBAC, Executive Orders/Memos by former President Clinton,
results of the EPA lawsuit, and former Senator John Glenn? How will 45 CFR 46 interact with
FDA regulations (21 CFR 50, 56), HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164), Public Health Service
Act (42 USC 281) & other Federal & State regulations that impact the conduct of human subjects
research? The Common Rule offers more exceptions than FDA regulations do. Should that be
true? More importantly, will 45 CFR 46 become a strict, ethical, and enforceable, lawfully
promulgated Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their actions so
that unethical, human subject research/experiments will be eliminated in the future?
Request to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue Participation as a “Non-consensual” Human Subject
I, Letitia Petershave been randomly selected to be a participant or human subject in a
research/experiment without my voluntary, informed consent, either orally or written and
without my knowledge. In this research/ experiment, I am/have been exposed to
electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma rays, microwave, & infrared)
and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, & radiological). In addition, my body has been
infiltrated with many “unidentified metal devices”. I meet the requirement of a “human subject”
in a “research/experiment” as defined above. I already had a compromised immune system due
to the exposure of toxic molds/mycotoxins in the Federal buildings in Washington, DC. I was far
from being that “healthy person with no major health ailments”, but I was working towards it
everyday so that I would have a better quality of life and become a productive U.S. citizen in the
workplace and community once again. I am on disability retirement & I would have never
consented to be a “volunteer” in any human subject research with all of my confirmed
diagnoses; especially one which uses gamma rays, microwave, infrared and weapons
(biological, chemical, directed energy & radiological). I believe that my selection was not
equitable in my case as defined in 45 CFR 46.113. I have endured unnecessary &
Page 99 of 135
unimaginable pain and suffering that presents a danger to my well-being by continuing in
this human research. I am in a life-threatening situation everyday that I continue to be in
this human subject research. Furthermore, this violates my religious principles and beliefs.
I want out now! In addition, the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects
believed that those who are already burdened (e.g., by disabilities or institutionalization) should
not be asked to accept the burdens of research unless other appropriate subjects cannot be found
(i.e., if the research concerns their particular disability or circumstance).
This human subject research/experiment has failed to comply with the terms in Title 45 Public
Welfare Part 46 Protection of Human Subjects (45 CFR 46). This part of the “Common Rule” is
intended to allow IRBs to waive informed consent in its entirety or any of the required elements
of informed consent. In order for this human subject/experiment to waive informed consent it
had to meet the 4 criteria in 45 CFR 46.116 (d). An IRB may approve a consent procedure which
does not include, or which alters, some or all of the elements of informed consent set forth in this
section, or waive the requirements to obtain informed consent provided the IRB finds and
documents that: (1) The research involves no more than minimal risk to the subjects; (2) The
waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and welfare of the subjects; (3) The
research could not practicably be carried out without the waiver or alteration; and (4)
Whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with additional pertinent information
after participation.
Risk is defined in The IRB Guidebook as the probability of harm or injury (physical,
psychological, social, or economic) occurring as a result of participation in a research study.
Both the probability and magnitude of possible harm may vary from minimal to significant.
Federal regulations define only “minimal risk.” Minimal risk is defined in the Common Rule as
the probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in
the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy
persons.
The daily exposures of electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma rays,
microwave, & infrared) and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, & radiological)
presents a danger to my overall well-being and has violated my rights and welfare as a human
subject. The human research practices, which I am experiencing, should be reclassified as “cruel
and unusual punishment” or “crimes against humanity”, which goes way beyond the physical or
psychological harm that is “normally” encountered in our daily lives or in the routine medical,
dental, or psychological examination. I am experiencing intentional infliction of severe physical
pain or suffering, which violates my rights and falls under the purview of 18 USC § 2340
Torture. I am in pain everyday, but the degree of the pain varies from day to day and from hour
to hour; from minor, discomfort pain to excruciating, agonizing pain, where I am in tears and
crying out for Jesus Christ to deliver me. It has been very unbearable. There have been times that
I could not even get out of bed to bathe or even cook for myself because of the extreme fatigue
and the severity of the pain in my body. I am in excruciating pain for hours and days while
suffering in silence because I did not want my parents to worry and also they do not believe that
we are in a human subject research. My feet would become so swollen due to edema that I could
barely walk. Each step that I would take the shooting pain would resonate throughout my legs.
My legs looked like they were going to “pop”. I would have to elevate them and stay completely

off my feet for a day or several days before they would return to normal & there was no pain. My
stomach, fingers, eyelids, face & head also swells. I would experience constant throbbing of pain
for hours. I went “temporary blind” after being intentionally dosed with chemical:
pesticides/insecticides and the emergency medical care failed to treat me. I could hear my rapid
heart rate when I am in the bed or resting; sometimes I would have heart palpitations. One
incident I developed “red fine bumps” in my head and a couple of days later, my hair fell out in
“clumps” as I was combing it. The National Academy of Sciences states this only occurs with
radiation exposures at 200 rems or higher. My vision has become blurry after these exposures.
My body is under tremendous stress, undue distress and inflicted pain, which affects my
performance to try to run my own business and to live a normal life. My body has been
infiltrated with “unidentifiable metal devices”, which is being picked up by a simple carpenter’s
tool: a stud sensor/finder. I could see the two in my neck, because my neck pulsates, when my
heart rate increases. Several times, I developed very painful red, blisters/mouth sores overnight,
while I am sleeping. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website in order for the blisters/mouth sores
to develop, radiation was aimed at my head or neck. I have a very dry, metallic taste in my
mouth. I also woke up to an excruciating pounding, headache, which has been with me all day.
My body is “aching” all over, as well as, my parents’ bodies. All of our diseases have been
exacerbated; my father has developed cancer, which could have been a contributing factor from
the environment and I recently spent the night in the hospital with my mother due to her chest
pains and very high blood pressure, which never occurred before. Even people who visit us are
being exposed, including children.
Personal privacy is important to ethical research as stated in 45 CFR 46.111. My confidentiality
and privacy rights have been violated. 45 CFR 46.116 (f) clearly states, “nothing in this policy is
intended to limit the authority of a physician to provide emergency medical care, to the extent
the physician is permitted to do so under applicable federal, state, or local law.” The
“researchers” have interfered with the physicians to provide me with the “appropriate”
emergency care. The physicians released private health information, did not adequately
addressed my complaints, failed to ensure patient care was provided in a safe and effective
manner, did not provide appropriate medical screening exams for me, and failed to treat a sick
and injured patient before releasing me, which violates the Emergency Medical Treatment and
Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Now there is a significant high health risk of me developing a
radiation-related disease that could have been greatly minimized through early detection and
appropriate medical treatment. The “researchers” have used disinformation to cause humiliation,
social stigmatization, and discrimination. Invasion of privacy concerns access to a person’s body
and the “researchers” has access to my body 24/7 and there are countless of men, women and
children, also called “informants” or “perps” who have access to my body 24/7 without my
informed consent or knowledge.
Human Subject Research Violates the Rights & Welfare of Vulnerable Population:
Children
Children have been included in this human subject research, without receiving the
parental/guardian permission consent documentation as defined in 45 CFR 46.408 and these
children/minors are not wards of the state or any other agency, institution, or entity as defined in
45 CFR 46.409. No adequate provisions were made for soliciting the assent of children and the
Page 101 of 135
no permission was granted from their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408 as
stated in 45 CFR 46.407 (iii). These children/minor are involve in research, which involves
greater than minimal risk as defined in 45 CFR 46.404 and does not present the prospect of direct
benefit to them at defined in 45 CFR 46.406. Some of these children are not economically or
educationally disadvantaged, but they have been placed in because of their race. This research is
not being conducted in accordance with sound ethical principles as stated in 45 CFR 46.607 (ii).
Both the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects and the President’s
Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral
Research recommended that such waivers be granted only if subjects will not be denied benefits
or services to which they are otherwise legally entitled. The waiver of informed consent has
diminished the protection of my rights and welfare as a non-consensual human subject. I have
received no respect as a non-consensual human subject. There is a non-verbal element that
“whatever happens to the human subject is of no personal concern to the researcher. They can do
whatever they want to the human subject and there is nothing that the human subject can do
about because no one will help the human subject.”
The waiver of informed consent has caused adverse consequences for my welfare and for my
general well-being, as well as, my loved ones. In addition, our rights, safety, dignity, welfare,
and privacy as non-consensual human subjects have been violated. This human subject
research/experiment has also failed to comply with the terms of the policy, 45 CFR 46 therefore,
as stated in 45 CFR 46.123 it should be subject to termination or suspension. If I continue in this
“loosely controlled” research/experiment, it will likely result in irreversible permanent injury,
radiation-induced diseases or even pre-mature death for myself (this request also includes my
family members who were systematically included in this because of me), because the
“researchers” are operating above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific,
ethical, and humane research. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation
immediately out of this non-consensual human subject research/experiment without prejudice.
The “Common Rule”, 45 CFR 46.116 (a) (8) states, “and the subject may discontinue
participation at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is
otherwise entitled.” I am not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of my
participation as a non-consensual human subject. The legal rights as a human subject may not be
waived and the human subject may not be asked to release or appear to release the investigator,
the sponsor, the institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
In the National Institutes of Health, Office for Protection from Research Risks (OPRR)
1993 Institutional Review Board Guidebook states, “attention should be paid to subjects’
rights when they decide to withdraw from participation in the study. The federal regulations
clearly require that subjects be free to withdraw from participation without penalty or loss of
benefits to which they are otherwise entitled [Federal Policy §116(a) (8)].”
For research involving more than minimal risk, an explanation as to whether any compensation
and an explanation as to whether any medical treatments are availability of medical treatment
and compensation in the case of research-related injury, including who will pay for the treatment
and the availability of other financial compensation as stated in 45 CFR 46.116(a)(6). In July
2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the preponderance of
Page 102 of 135
scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer or other
health problem and there is no threshold below, which exposure can be viewed as harmless.
According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show that symptoms may persist for up to 10
years and may also have an increased long-term risk for leukemia and lymphoma. The
effects of radiation on the human body can be found at
www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. Will the human subjects be compensated due
to research-related injury?
I, Letitia Peters certify that my decision to “opt-out” or discontinue participation in this human
experiment is without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, coercion or
undue influence on my decision. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation
because of my rights as a human subject as stated in 45 CFR 46 116 (a) (8). This request includes
all of my immediate family members (my elderly parents, my sister’s family and my brother’s
family) who were thrust in this unethical, human subject research/experiment without their
consent or without their knowledge.
I echo the words of Dr. Harriett A. Washington, ”Just as U.S. physicians demanded justice at
Nuremberg, Nigerian parents stormed courts in Kano and Manhattan to demand that we live up
to our stated ideals. Sixty-five years on, it is high time we did.” Don’t you agree?
In closing, I echo the words announced at the 1976 National Urban League National Conference
on Human Experimentation, “We don’t want to kill science, but we don’t want science to kill,
mangle, & abuse us”.

Action Requested by all Non-consensual Human Subjects/TIs
Hello Fellow Non-consensual Human Subject/TIs:
It is time for the TI community to get organize. Spring is here and I refuse to carry all of my
“evidence” around any longer or to spend another year in this experiment. Is there anyone out
there in agreement with me? Don’t be shy now?
Let’s come together and get organize.
We need your time and support.
I have seen plenty of websites, which talk about our problem, but I did not find any information
about a SOLUTION until recently and it was right under our noses.
I am writing to inform you that based on irrefutable facts, you can request to withdraw
participation from the human subject research. IT IS YOUR RIGHT AS A HUMAN
SUBJECT. We have a leg up on many other people because we know that we are in an
unethical, human subject research/experiment. I have done the research and developed a form to
Page 103 of 135
be submitted to HHS and to your Congressional representatives. I have done the research and I
have found a SOLUTION to our situation. I invite you to join me by revising the attached opt-
out form.
Do you have 30 minutes? You only have to discuss your pain, and the violation of your rights,
safety, and welfare as a human subject. I put everything in ***red where you would need to
discuss your pain, safety, and welfare** on the following pages to make it easier. You can even
use my words, if you can’t come up with any of your own. Many of us are suffering from “brain
fog”, which is affecting our mind. You can do something about it. If you follow the steps outline
below to do spring cleaning from the inside out. The other areas do not require any changes,
unless you want to do it. Don’t forget to sign the form or use a script font.
Please also send it to your Congressional representatives as well. Please send the attached press
release (70.5 kb) to media (newspapersand tv stations) along with your story or alone.
Attached is the opt-out form to be revised (52.5 k file). You can use the words, which I provided
and make them your own or use your own words. I know that many of us have “brain fog.” I am
tired of hearing EXCUSES! Well, it is EXCUSES , NO MORE! If you can’t do this, then you
don’t want this to end this. Only the perps, informants, double agents, and spies want this to
continue so that they can get their “comps” and the devil have their souls. Many of them should
be going to jail for obstructing justice.
The “researchers” waived informed consent by telling HHS that the research involves no more
than minimal risk, like going to the dentist. We know that our pain has been more than a
toothache. In many cases, it has been crimes against humanity or torture. This is why we need to
talk about the pain and the violation of our rights, welfare & safety as human subjects. We need
as many testimonies as possible going to HHS Secretary Sebelius and to your Congressional
representatives.
Why should we be contacting HHS? ( A perp wanted to know the answer to this question so
here’s the answer.)
The OHRP has the authority under Title IV of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 281 et
seq.) to investigate complaints about human subject protections in HHS-conducted or -funded
research, as well as any other research covered by the institution’s Assurance of Compliance.
Here are 8 ways: Just do what you can every day.
1. Contact HHS: We need to write and call the comment line.

Experiment & to Propose A 90 day Moratorium on All U.S. Human Subjects

Page 105 of 135
Madam Secretary:
I am writing to request your intervention on a very important issue: non-consensual human
subjects in the U.S. I am not only speaking for myself and for my family, but also on behalf of
the countless of my fellow Americans and those worldwide who have been placed in a human
subject experiment, without our voluntary, informed consent, whether orally or written. I have
the right as a human subject to request to “opt-out” or discontinue participation in the human
subject research. In addition, this human subject research has failed to comply with the terms in
Title 45 Public Welfare Part 46 Protection of Human Subjects, 45 CFR 46 Subpart A, “The
Common Rule” to waive informed consent for this human subject research.” Attached is
Statement of XXX XXX, a Non-consensual Human Subject to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue
Participation in the Human Subjects Research/Experiment for your review.
A moratorium is being requested so that the “Federal Government can get it right”. This is a
massive undertaken, which should require the support of HHS and Congress to ensure that any
new regulations will benefit and protect the rights, safety, and welfare of future human subjects.
We are requesting Congress to conduct investigative hearings about illegal “COINTELPRO”
activities, ratify laws to protect the rights & welfare of the human subjects so that informed
consent is finally on the books and oversee the activities pertaining to the revision of 45 CFR 46
by HHS so that it will become a lawfully, promulgated regulation. Will the revised 45 CFR 46
address the issues of ACHRE, NBAC, Executive Orders/Memos by former President Clinton,
results of the EPA lawsuit, and former Senator John Glenn? How will 45 CFR 46 interact with
FDA regulations (21 CFR 50, 56), HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164), Public Health Service
Act (42 USC 281) & other Federal & State regulations that impact the conduct of human subjects
research? The Common Rule offers more exceptions than FDA regulations do. Should that be
true? More importantly, will 45 CFR 46 become a strict, ethical, and enforceable, lawfully
promulgated Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their actions so
that unethical, human subject research/experiments will be eliminated in the future?
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
me at xxx-xxx-xxxx or via e-mail at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you
expeditiously.
Sincerely,
Cc:

3. Contact Media (secular and alternative) in America and Internationally
Send the press release to the editor or to the reporter who did a story pertaining to human
subject, bioethics, or research. This can be sent in America and Internationally. Just cut
and paste. Keep doing it. You can add your story to the press release and request a story is
done.
Google: “worldwide news media directory”, local news media or national newspaper etc.
A couple of weeks ago, CNN did a story about vets who were secretly experimented on by the
U.S. Government. Please send your testimonies to Dr. Sanjay Gupta who did the story as well as,

investigations, 1513 of Title 18 Retaliating against a witness, victim or an informant, or
1514 Civil Action to restrain harassment of a victim or witness. Whoever intentionally
alters, destroys, mutilates or conceals records, or documents with the intent to impair the
object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding will be punished to the full
extent of law as defined in 1519 of Title 18 Destruction, Alteration or Falsification of
records in Federal investigations and bankruptcy.”)
6. Follow-up with everyone. Get people’s names and contact information.
7. Change Your Mind, Body, and Spirit. IT IS TIME TO DO SPRING CLEANING FROM
THE INSIDE OUT.
NO SUGAR. NO JUNK FOOD. NO SODAS.
Download the book at www.radiationdetox.com to start detoxing your body of the radiation.
DMG is one supplement, which will increase your body by 300%.I use baking soda and
hydrogen peroxide as a paste and scrub it on my body with a loofah brush. You should always
brush towards your heart. The baking soda will exfoliate your skin and then put oil (emu,
coconut, extra virgin olive oil or essential oils) as a barrier on your skin. In my hair, I combine
the baking soda with the shampoo and then for the 3rd wash, I use the baking soda and hydrogen
Page 108 of 135
peroxide paste so that it will not cause a chemical reaction in my hair. My hair has turned blonde
on its own because of the chemical reaction. Eat green foods to alkaline your body in a powder
form (with no fillers if you can afford): wheatgrass, spirulina, and chlorophyll. Drink plenty of
water with lemons to hydrate your body. Coconut water and coconut oil are excellent sources,
Drinking bentonite clay.
Your body has its own electrical frequency. You can change it by what you do, think, and eat.
They know your body frequency so that is why you feel the pain. In addition, these lethal
weapons hurt anyway. When your body frequency is low, that is when cancer and other diseases
develop. Complaining lowers your body frequency. Think of thoughts of love and happiness
increases your body’s frequency. Think positive. Praying increases your frequency. Drinking
green tea, roobios tea and other teas will help. Eating vegetables will increase your frequency.
Buy oxygen to oxygenate your body. Eat bananas. Exercise will change your frequency.
Remember this: You have to get as much oxygen in your body as possible. Google: Increase
your body’s frequency, alkaline your body, kill parasites
8. PRAY, PRAY & PRAY.
Diseases are curses. If you want to start changing your situation, please say this:” I curse,
break, and destroy the spirit of Fear and I curse, break, and destroy the roots of the spirit
of insecurity and the roots of the spirit of inferiority in the name of Jesus Christ and
command you to leave my mind, body, and soul and never return. In the name of Jesus
Christ, I command all spirits associated with spirits of fear, insecurity, and inferiority to
come out of my body now. Hold your tongues and leave me now! In Jesus name, I
command you to go to the abyss and never return again.”
Say the Lord’s Prayer.
Visit www.demonbuster.com for more deliverance prayers. Break the generational and
individual curses over your life.
I had not heard that what I provided was INCORRECT. It is based on sound, irrefutable facts.
Can you believe that there was someone who actually wrote that they were happy to see that the
Bioethics Commission said that the laws are adequate. Instead of doing something that sounds
feasible and does not cost any money, but your time. The enemy wants to tell you about what
will NOT WORK before you even try it! Does that make sense? They don’t want you to DO
ANYTHING! THINK POSITIVE! How would anyone know what will work unless you try it? I
know what will work. NO ACTION. COMPLAINING. NO ACTION. TALKING ABOUT
YOUR SITUATION ALL THE TIME AND NEVER MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE
OF FEAR. FEAR IS FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. THE THINGS THAT
HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST 8-9 YEARS. Divide and conquer in the TI
Page 109 of 135
community has ended in the name of Jesus Christ! We are united in the non-consensual human
subjects/TI community in the name of Jesus Christ.
THEY WANT TO KNOW YOUR EVERY MOVE SO THAT THEY CAN SABOTAGE
IT. This is a quote that I keep in mind. “Sabotage is used to defeat people.”
WHY HASN’T THE TI COMMUNITY GONE TO DC? Obviously, they do not want you to
go to DC as a group! We want a remnant of people to go to DC. It is time to get organized.
Wake up people! In the name of Jesus Christ, Satan and his demons are defeated! Spring is here!
Don’t you want to have a new beginning?
I pray for the people who have been sent to sabotage us. May the mercy of Jesus Christ be on
your souls; perps; double agents, and informants. You are not fooling me. The gig is up. They
went too far with my mother and now it is on. If I have to expose everyone and every
organization, then I will do it.
If anyone has a website or want to expose the truth, then enter the information at
www.yestojustice.tumblr.com.
Beware of NAYSAYERS or THOSE WHO HAVE EXCUSES or THOSE WHO WILL NOT
SEND THIS PACKAGE TO THE OTHER MEMBERS IN THEIR
GROUPS/ORGANIZATIONS.
I want you to think for a moment what has been going on with this community. It is a HOT
MESS! CHILDISH BEHAVIOR! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY
LIFE AND I HAD ENOUGH!
The vehicles are flying in this residential area. The aircrafts have gotten off of their flight plans.
Will you trust and believe with me? That is all that I ask of you. I hope to see more on the
conference call tonight.
I am only doing what God has told me to do.
Blessings,

Re: Request to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue Participation from Non-consensual Human
Subject Research/Experiment;
I am pleased to submit my request to “opt-out” or discontinue participation from this non-
consensual human subject research/experiment. I have a right to “opt-out” or discontinue
participation from this research/experiment. This research involves more than minimal risk. My
family and I are being torture. The “researchers” are violating my rights to obtain medical care. I
am in a life-threatening situation. This research should be terminated because it does not comply
with 45 CFR 46. We are requesting a moratorium for all human subject research.
******* FORM BEGINS **************************************
Statement of your name, a Non-consensual Human Subject to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue
Participation in the Human Subject Research/Experiment
Introduction:
In the Bioethics Commission’s report released on December 15, 2011, the Bioethics Commission
suggested that to keep track of the more than 55,000 research projects using human subjects, the
Federal government should create a central online portal and database where basic information
about the projects are archived and made easily accessible and further concluded that it “cannot
say that all federally funded research provides optimal protections against avoidable harms and
unethical treatment”. The Bioethics Commission also said although human subjects in US
government-funded research are generally protected by existing rules and regulations, their
safety and well-being could be enhanced with stronger measures, including increased public
transparency and a system of compensating subjects who sustain research-related injuries.
Research is defined by the Common Rule regulations as “a systematic investigation, including
research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable
knowledge. Activities which meet this definition constitute research for purposes of this policy,
whether or not they are conducted or supported under a program which is considered research for
other purposes. For example, some demonstration and service programs may include research
activities.” Medical experiment is defined by California Law, Health & Safety Code Section
24171 as “the severance or penetration or damaging of tissues of a human subject or the use of a
Page 112 of 135
drug or device, electromagnetic radiation, heat or cold, or a biological substance or organism, in
or upon a human subject in the practice of research of medicine in a manner not reasonably
related to maintaining or improving the health of the subject or otherwise directly benefiting the
subject.
Human Subject is defined by the Common Rule regulations as “a living individual about whom
an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains either a) data
through intervention or interaction with the individual or b) identifiable private information.”
Human subject is defined by FDA regulations as “an individual who is or becomes a participant
in research, either as a recipient of the test article or as a control. A subject may be either a
healthy human or a patient. Subject [also] means a human who participates in an investigation,
either as an individual on whom or on whose specimen an investigational device is used or as a
control.”
Human subject research should adhere to the ethical principles and guidelines for the protection
of human research participants summarized in the uniform set of regulations, called the Federal
Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, 45 CFR 46, Subpart A, formally known as the
“Common Rule.” The 45 CFR 46 regulations are based in large part on the Belmont Report and
were written to offer basic protections to human subjects involved in both biomedical and
behavioral research. Today, 45 CFR 46, Subjects A and E: Registration of Institutional Review
Boards (added 1/15/2009) is shared by 17 Departments and Agencies, representing most, but not
all, of the Federal Departments and Agencies sponsoring human subjects research. Many of them
have not adopted Subpart B: Additional Protections for Pregnant Women, Human Fetuses &
Neonates Involved in Research, Subpart C: Additional Protections Pertaining to Biomedical &
Behavior Research Involving Prisoners as Subjects, or Subject D: Additional Protections for
Children Involved as Subjects in Research. For the past 20 years, 45 CFR 46, have been
considered merely “guidelines” and is not a lawfully, promulgated regulation.
Before a research project involving human subjects is initiated, it must be reviewed and
approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB has a central role in ensuring that all
human subject research is planned and conducted in an ethical manner, and in compliance with
federal, state and local regulations. The major responsibilities of the IRB are to assess the risks
and benefits of proposed research and to promote respect for its advice and counsel in
safeguarding the rights and welfare of human subjects.
Failure of OHRP to Investigate Allegations
On behalf of the Secretary, HHS, the Office on Human Research Protections (OHRP) approves
the terms ofthese written institutional assurances, which constitute binding commitments. In
essence, OHRP holds accountable and depends on institutional officials, committees,
researchers, and other agents of the institution to comply with the institution’s assurance and the
regulations. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, OHRP’s Division of Compliance
Oversight monitors compliance through not-for-cause compliance oversight surveillance
activities and for-cause compliance oversight evaluations of allegations or indications of
noncompliance with the regulations. OHRP has the authority under Title IV of the Public
Health Service Act (42 USC 281 et seq.) to investigate complaints about human subject
Page 113 of 135
protections in HHS-conducted or -funded research, as well as any other research covered
by the institution’s Assurance of Compliance. OHRP also promotes compliance through its
Division of Policy and Assurances, which provides policy and guidance documents pertaining to
the regulatory requirements in 45 CFR 46. If HHS receives an allegation or indication of
noncompliance related to human subject research that is conducted or supported solely by a
Common Rule department/agency other than HHS, HHS will refer the matter to that
department/agency for review and action as appropriate” as stated at
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/.On April 26, 2011, I met with Kristina C.
Borror Ph.D., Division of Compliance Oversight Director to file a formal complaint and to find
out which Federal agency was responsible for conducting non-consensual human
experimentation on me and others. I was told by Ms. Borror that there was nothing that her
office could do for me and that I should contact each agency and file a FOIA request with each
one.” I knew there were a lot of research projects using human subjects and it would be like
looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be very difficult, if not impossible to find, since there
are more than 55,000 projects that involve human subjects. Others who contacted OHRP have
received this response by letter, which states: “OHRP has determined that it does not have
jurisdiction over the matters referenced in your letter. Therefore, OHRP will not be able
to pursue this matter on your behalf.” Since January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use the Internet-
based registration maintained by HHS as stated in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer right on HHS’s
website?
Non-Consensual Human Subjects Testimonies & Request for a Moratorium
Congress and HHS are sponsoring projects involving human subjects, without 45 CFR 46 being
an enforceable lawfully, promulgated regulation, informed consent being on the books or a
ratified Human Subjects Research Protection Law. As a result, “the absence of Federal
jurisdiction over much privately funded research means that the U.S. government cannot know
how many Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they
have been recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks
they are undertaking, and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed.” Many non-
consensual human subjects testified at the Bioethics Commission’s Meeting 4 Session 10 (March
1, 2011) and Meeting 5 Session 6 (May 18, 2011): Public Comments. There were others who
submitted their written testimonies. The archived transcripts and videos are available at
bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-four and bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-five. Several months later, the
Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) requested public comments pertaining to the
update of 45 CFR 46 and has received 600+ pages of testimonies from human subjects and over
1100 responses, which did not include the public comments from the Bioethics Commission..
A moratorium is being requested so that the “Federal Government can get it right”. This is a
massive undertaken, which should require the support of HHS and Congress to ensure that any
new regulations will benefit and protect the rights, safety, and welfare of future human subjects.
We are requesting Congress to conduct investigative hearings about illegal “COINTELPRO”
activities, ratify laws to protect the rights & welfare of the human subjects so that informed
consent is finally on the books and oversee the activities pertaining to the revision of 45 CFR 46
by HHS so that it will become a lawfully, promulgated regulation.. Will the revised 45 CFR 46
address the issues of ACHRE, NBAC, Executive Orders/Memos by former President Clinton,
Page 114 of 135
results of the EPA lawsuit, and former Senator John Glenn? How will 45 CFR 46 interact with
FDA regulations (21 CFR 50, 56), HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164), Public Health Service
Act (42 USC 281) & other Federal & State regulations that impact the conduct of human subjects
research? The Common Rule offers more exceptions than FDA regulations do. Should that be
true? More importantly, will 45 CFR 46 become a strict, ethical, and enforceable, lawfully
promulgated Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their actions so
that unethical, human subject research/experiments will be eliminated in the future?
Statement of your name, a Non-consensual Human Subject to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue
Participation in the Human Subject Research/Experiment
Request to “Opt-Out” or Discontinue Participation as a “Non-consensual” Human Subject
***Revise, keep high level here*** I, your name________have been randomly selected to be a
participant or human subject in a research/experiment without my voluntary, informed
consent, either orally or written and without my knowledge. In this research/ experiment, I
am/have been exposed to electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including gamma
rays, microwave, & infrared) and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, &
radiological). In addition, my body has been infiltrated with many “unidentified metal
devices”. I meet the requirement of a “human subject” in a “research/experiment” as defined
above. I already had a compromised immune system. I was far from being that “healthy
person with no major health ailments”, but I was working towards it everyday so that I would
have a better quality of life and become a productive U.S. citizen in the workplace and
community once again. I am on disability retirement & I would have never consented to be a
“volunteer” in any human subject research with all of my confirmed diagnoses; especially one
which uses gamma rays, microwave, infrared and weapons (biological, chemical, directed
energy & radiological). I believe that my selection was not equitable in my case as defined in
45 CFR 46.113. I have endured unnecessary & unimaginable pain and suffering that it
presents a danger to my well-being by continuing in this human research. I am in a life-
threatening situation everyday that I continue to be in this human subject research.
Furthermore, this violates my religious principles and beliefs. I want out now! In addition, the
National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects believed that those who are already
burdened (e.g., by disabilities or institutionalization) should not be asked to accept the burdens of
research unless other appropriate subjects cannot be found (i.e., if the research concerns their
particular disability or circumstance).
This human subject research/experiment involves noncompliance with 45 CFR 46. This part of
the “Common Rule” is intended to allow IRBs to waive informed consent in its entirety or any of
the required elements of informed consent In order for this human subject/experiment to waive
informed consent it had to meet the 4 criteria in 45 CFR 46.116 (d). An IRB may approve a
consent procedure which does not include, or which alters, some or all of the elements of
informed consent set forth in this section, or waive the requirements to obtain informed consent
provided the IRB finds and documents that: (1) The research involves no more than minimal
risk to the subjects; (2) The waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and
Page 115 of 135
welfare of the subjects; (3) The research could not practicably be carried out without the
waiver or alteration; and (4) Whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with
additional pertinent information after participation.
Risk is defined in The IRB Guidebook as the probability of harm or injury (physical,
psychological, social, or economic) occurring as a result of participation in a research study.
Both the probability and magnitude of possible harm may vary from minimal to significant.
Federal regulations define only “minimal risk.” Minimal risk is defined in the Common Rule as
the probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in
the daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy
persons.
***ReviseGo in detail about your pain, violation of your rights, welfare, privacy, and
safety*** The daily exposures of electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including
gamma rays, microwave, & infrared) and weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, &
radiological) presents a danger to my well-being and has violated my rights and welfare as a
human subject. The human research practices, which I am experiencing, should be
reclassified as “cruel and unusual punishment” or “crimes against humanity”, which goes
way beyond the physical or psychological harm that is “normally” encountered in our daily
lives or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination. I am experiencing
intentional infliction of severe physical pain or suffering, which violates my rights and falls
under the purview of 18 USC § 2340 Torture. I am in pain everyday, but the degree of the pain
varies from day to day and from hour to hour; from minor discomfort pain to excruciating,
agonizing pain, where I am in tears and crying out for God to deliver me. It has been very
unbearable. There have been times that I could not even get out of bed to bathe or even cook
for myself because of the extreme fatigue and the severity of the pain in my body. I am in
excruciating pain for hours and days while suffering in silence because I did not want my
parents to worry and also they do not believe that we are in a human subject research. My feet
would become so swollen due to edema that I could barely walk. Each step that I would take
the shooting pain would resonate throughout my legs. My legs looked like they were going to
“pop” any minute. I would have to elevate them and stay completely off my feet for a day or
several days before they would return to normal & there was no pain. My stomach, fingers,
eyelids, face & head also swells. I would experience constant throbbing of pain for hours. I
went “temporary blind” after being intentionally dosed with chemical: pesticides/insecticides
and the emergency medical care failed to treat me. I could hear my rapid heart rate when I am
in the bed or resting; sometimes I would have heart palpitations. One incident I developed
“red fine bumps” in my head and a couple of days later, my hair fell out in “clumps” as I was
combing it. The National Academy of Sciences states this only occurs with radiation exposures
at 200 rems or higher. My vision has become blurry after these exposures. My body is under
tremendous stress, undue distress and inflicted pain, which affects my performance to try to
run my own business and to live a normal life. My body has been infiltrated with
“unidentifiable metal devices”, which is being picked up by a simple carpenter’s tool: a stud
sensor/finder. I developed very painful red, blisters/mouth sores overnight, while I am
sleeping. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website in order for the blisters/mouth sores to
develop, radiation was aimed at my head or neck. I have a very dry, metallic taste in my
mouth. My eyes are very dry. I also woke up to an excruciating pounding, headache, which
Page 116 of 135
has been with me all day. My body is “aching” all over, as well as, my parents’ bodies. All of
our diseases have been exacerbated; my father has developed cancer, which could have been a
contributing factor from the environment and I recently spent the night in the hospital with
my mother due to her chest pains and very high blood pressure, which never occurred before.
Even people who visit us are being exposed, including children.
Personal privacy is important to ethical research as stated in 45 CFR 46.111. My
confidentiality and privacy rights have been violated. 45 CFR 46.116 (f) clearly states,
“nothing in this policy is intended to limit the authority of a physician to provide emergency
medical care, to the extent the physician is permitted to do so under applicable federal, state,
or local law.” The “researchers” have interfered with the physicians to provide me with the
“appropriate” emergency care. The physicians released private health information, did not
adequately addressed my complaints, failed to ensure patient care was provided in a safe and
effective manner, did not provide appropriate medical screening exams for me, and failed to
treat a sick and injured patient before releasing me, which violates the Emergency Medical
Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Now there is a significant high health risk of me
developing a radiation-related disease that could have been greatly minimized through early
detection and appropriate medical treatment. The “researchers” have used disinformation to
cause humiliation, social stigmatization, and discrimination. Invasion of privacy concerns
access to a person’s body and the “researchers” has access to my body 24/7 and there are
countless of men, women and children, also called “informants” or “perps” who have access
to my body 24/7 without my informed consent or knowledge.
***Include this section or delete it if it does not impact you or your loved ones***Human
Subject Research Violates the Rights & Welfare of Vulnerable Population: Children
Children have been included in this human subject research, without receiving the
parental/guardian permission consent documentation as defined in 45 CFR 46.408 and these
children/minors are not wards of the state or any other agency, institution, or entity as defined
in 45 CFR 46.409. No adequate provisions were made for soliciting the assent of children and
the no permission was granted from their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408
as stated in 45 CFR 46.407 (iii). These children/minor are involve in research, which involves
greater than minimal risk as defined in 45 CFR 46.404 and does not present the prospect of
direct benefit to them at defined in 45 CFR 46.406. Some of these children are not
economically or educationally disadvantaged, but they have been placed in because of their
race. This research is not being conducted in accordance with sound ethical principles as
stated in 45 CFR 46.607 (ii).
Both the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects and the President’s
Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral
Research recommended that such waivers be granted only if subjects will not be denied benefits
or services to which they are otherwise legally entitled. The waiver of informed consent has
diminished the protection of my rights and welfare as a non-consensual human subject. I have
received no respect as a non-consensual human subject. There is a non-
Page 117 of 135
verbal element that “whatever happens to the human subject is of no personal concern to the
researcher. They can do whatever they want to the human subject and there is nothing that the
human subject can do about because no one will help the human subject.”
The waiver of informed consent has caused adverse consequences for my welfare and for my
general well-being, as well as, my loved ones. In addition, our rights, safety, dignity, welfare,
and privacy as non-consensual human subjects have been violated and do not comply with 45
CFR 46. This human subject research/experiment is incompliance with the policy, 45 CFR 46
therefore, as stated in 45 CFR 46.123, it should be terminated. If I continue in this “loosely
controlled” research/experiment, it will likely result in irreversible permanent injury, radiation-
induced diseases or even pre-mature death for myself (this request also includes my family
members who were systematically included in this because of me), because the “researchers”
are operating above the law and below the accepted standard of scientific, ethical, and
humane research. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my participation immediately
out of this non-consensual human subject research/experiment without prejudice. The
“Common Rule”, 45 CFR 46.116 (a) (8) states, “and the subject may discontinue participation
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled.” I
am not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of my participation as a non-
consensual human subject. The legal rights as a human subject may not be waived and the
human subject may not be asked to release or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the
institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
In the National Institutes of Health, Office for Protection from Research Risks (OPRR)
1993 Institutional Review Board Guidebook in the withdrawal from participation section,
it states, “attention should be paid to subjects’ rights when they decide to withdraw from
participation in the study. The federal regulations clearly require that subjects be free to
withdraw from participation without penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise
entitled [Federal Policy §116(a) (8)].”
For research involving more than minimal risk, an explanation as to whether any compensation
and an explanation as to whether any medical treatments are availability of medical treatment
and compensation in the case of research-related injury, including who will pay for the treatment
and the availability of other financial compensation as stated in 45 CFR 46.116(a)(6). In July
2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the preponderance of
scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of radiation pose a risk of cancer or other
health problem and there is no threshold below, which exposure can be viewed as harmless.
According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show that symptoms may persist for up to 10
years and may also have an increased long-term risk for leukemia and lymphoma. The
effects of radiation on the human body can be found at
www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. Will the human subjects be compensated due
to research-related injury?
I, ____________certify that my decision to “opt-out” or discontinue participation in this
human experiment is without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress,
coercion or undue influence on my decision. I am requesting to “opt-out” or discontinue my
participation because of my rights as a human subject as stated in 45 CFR 46 116 (a) (8). This
Page 118 of 135
request includes all of my immediate family members (my elderly parents, my sister’s family
and my brother’s family) who were thrust in this unethical, human subject
research/experiment without their consent or without their knowledge.

Letter to HHS Secretary to Request “Discontinuation” in Non-consensual
Human Subject Experiment & Propose a 90 Day Moratorium
Fellow Non-Consensual Human Subjects/TIs,
Please join us as we have found the loopholes to benefit ALL human subjects.
This is part 1 of 3 parts so be on the look out for the other 2 parts in the next few days.
Page 119 of 135
Please read the following letter. I have been looking for a solution to our situation about how to
get out of it and guess what? I found the loopholes for us, which was in the “Common Rule” all
the time. One is that we can ask to discontinue our participation as a human subject. It is our
right to do so as a human subject. Does that make sense? We do have rights. The other is that
they violated the requirements to waive the informed consent. They also violated the rights and
welfare of the children: vulnerable population. This does not cost anything, but your time.
Knowledge is power!
Here’s the letter, which I sent to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Please feel free to revise the
letter by replacing your information with mine and then send your letter to her. Her phone
number is 202-619-0257 (I got a message saying that this is disconnected.) or call 1-877-696-
6775 to see if you get the same number. Her email address is [email protected]. If
anyone gets a fax number, please send it to me so that I can post it. The mailing address is:
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
H.H.S. Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
200 Independence Ave. SW, Room 120F
Washington, DC 20201
It may take a few days. I did receive a response that my email was received.
I will do a conference call on Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. If you follow me at
www.thecanche.tumblr.com, then you will get a message every time that I post something.
More laws to check out: http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/18c73.txt.
18 USC 1505 Obstruction of proceedings before depts., agencies and committees
18 USC 1512 Tampering with a Witness, Victim or Informant
Obstruction may consist of any attempt to hinder the discovery, apprehension, conviction or
punishment of anyone who has committed a crime. The acts by which justice is obstructed may
include bribery, murder, intimidation or the use of physical force. The purpose is to influence,
delay or prevent communication of information to law enforcement, to alter or destroy evidence.
Page 120 of 135
The informants are obstructing justice. 95% to 99% (I will give them the 1%) of the people you
are interfacing with are perps or informants. They were blocking your correspondences.
The doors of opportunity are opened for us until Friday, March 23, 2012. Spring is around the
corner and it is time for new beginnings. We have to expose these informants, perps, or double
agents. It is time for you to get out of your residence and start talking to people. Bob S. and G.
Mason also have done an outstanding job. With all 3; it is an airtight case. I will send out my
analysis, once I have updated it so look for it tomorrow and you can post it, just reference my
website www.thecanche.tumblr.com. The analysis which I did shows that the Federal
Government has a history of discrediting non-consensual human subjects. It is documented in
official U.S. Federal Government papers. They have referred to them as neurotic, paranoid
schizophrenia, or delusional so that they will appear “not all the way there”. Now, we have the
proof that this is a pattern of the Federal Government have done in the past and is continuing
doing. It is a perfect plan: Discredit the victim so that no one would believe him/her so that they
can continue with their evil plans.
Proposed Schedule:
Sunday, March 4, 2012 start fasting 3 hours before daybreak and end Wednesday, March 7, 2012
at sundown. Drinking water with lemons during a fast will helps our immune system. You can
download the free e-book at www.radiationdetox.com to learn how to repair your body from
radiation exposure.
Evening conference calls begins on Sunday, March 4, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. EST to Friday, March
23, 2012. Mark your calendars!
1 day fast from March 7, 2012 from 3 hours before daybreak to sundown - We would like as
many people as possible to do this.
Join us in Washington, DC on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Send an email to
[email protected] and put in the subject: Ready to Join You in DC. Anyone is welcome to
join us. They do not want you to come to DC. Only the perps and informants want you to stay
out of DC. We need a group of people. We will keep going until we get action!!!
Prayers-We need as many people as possible to pray.
Page 121 of 135
Perps/Informants- We will pray that you will confess and repent of your sins.

If the lawsuit was so feasible, then how come an attorney will not file a class action suit on our
behalf?
No one knows that we exist; our stories are not on the nightly news or in a major newspaper.
Even the journalists who came to the Bioethics Commission, they all left before they heard our
testimonies. Your website can be redirected. The petitions have been tampered with so that you
will not get the numbers. We need to get out in the public and tell our stories.
I know that I will. Will you?
PLEASE WRITE YOUR STORY THIS WEEKEND. We will need your story in the next week.
www.COINTELPROContinuesToday.org has an excellent format to follow to help you with
your story. They will even help you. We need as many stories as possible to be done. (I just
found them a couple of days ago.)
Let’s think about our freedom now!!!
We will have flyers for you to pass out. Get involved! The enemy is already defeated and he
knows it. We have the truth. It is now up to you to do your part. Please share this with others
Blessings,

Re: Request to Discontinue Participation in Non-consensual Human Subject Experiment & to
Propose A 90 day Moratorium on All U.S. Human Subjects Experiments/Experiments that
Receive Federal Funding Internationally
Madam Secretary:
I am writing this letter to request your intervention because many of our avenues to bring this
issue to light have been “obstructed” by informants. While in other cases, the government term
“on a need- to-know basis” comes into practice. The issue is: non-consensual human subjects in
the U.S. I am not only speaking for myself and for my family, but also on behalf of the countless
of my fellow Americans and those worldwide who have been placed in a human subject
experiment, without our voluntary, informed consent, whether orally or written. The current
deficiencies in the U.S. human subject research system have made this possible. The Belmont
Report and the Nuremberg Code both addressed voluntary, informed consent as a requirement
for the ethical conduct of human subject research. In 1991, 16 federal agencies adopted 45 CFR
46, Subpart A, which then became known as the “Common Rule”, governs the research on
human subjects. Even though the “Common Rule” has the requirement for informed consent, it
has many “loop holes”, which has not been closed in 20 years, and as a result this has caused
unethical human subjects experimentation on men, women, and children in the U.S. and
Internationally.
Page 123 of 135
Let me introduce myself. My name is Letitia Peters and I was a former Electrical/Electronics
Engineer (GS-14/J) with the Federal Government in NJ and Washington, DC. During my 16
years career, I worked as a project manager managing 3 acquisition programs worth close to
$100 million, test engineer, and a program scheduler. I received accolades for my achievements
at my workplace and in the community. I volunteered as a math tutor in the public school
systems in Washington, DC and I was active in numerous organizations. I loved tutoring
children, which I would like to do again real soon. I also started my own event management
business in 2001 after earning a Master’s Certificate in Event Management from George
Washington University. I started to get very ill in 2003 and I was diagnosed with sick building
syndrome. Toxic mold was prevalent in several Federal buildings in Washington, DC and it was
making several of us sick. Unfortunately, I was terminated in 2006. I developed a 3 minute
video, which you can watch at www.youtube.com/nimsociety. I turned my anger to activism and
I started an organization called National Indoor Mold Society (NIMS). Humbly speaking, in 3 ½
years, we brought awareness to the public, medical field, and lawmakers that exposure to indoor
toxic molds and mycotoxins can cause adverse health effects to humans and pets. The 75th
Nevada legislature passed legislation declared September 2009 as National Indoor Toxic Mold
Awareness Month (NITMAM) in their state. Even though I was forced to close NIMS, the
people, businesses and organizations are still today celebrating September as NITMAM, which
was spearheaded by NIMS. Many of the archived radio shows are still available at
www.talkshoe.com. I was feeling better and I was working towards being active in the
community once again. My life changed drastically in September 2009, after I attempted to file a
cyber stalking report and to request that computer forensics be done. One NJ police officer told
me that no one will look at your computer. He was right. Since then, my life has been a
rollercoaster to say the least. I have not done anything to anyone to warrant such unusual and
cruel punishment. I realize that these people will never stop until I am dead so I will stop at
nothing for justice. I have done extensive research on the human subjects experiments in the U.S.
and Internationally. It has taken me years to figure out what was happening to me. At first, I
thought it was because of my activism work so I stopped doing the radio shows and eventually
closed NIMS. My health did not improve it got worse because I was receiving the most
aggressive form of torture that a human person could ever endure. I suffered many nights in
silence, thinking how a human being could do this to another human being. My nightmare began
while I was still employed as a Federal Government employee. As unbelievable, and as
unthinkable this may sound, but I reasonably believe that my family and I (includes children and
elderly), have been placed in this non-consensual human subject experiment as a form of
retaliation because I was a Federal whistleblower. I only wanted to work in a healthy work
environment because the exposure to toxic mold was causing adverse health effects for me.
Madam Secretary, I, like so many other non-consensual human subjects are enduring inhumane
treatment everyday 24/7. We would like to eat food that is not contaminated with chemicals,
radiation, or heaven knows what. We would like to have one solid night of sleep, without being
wakened out of sleep, because our neighbors are beaming us with electromagnetic weapons. We
want our lives back now. I will do everything possible with the help of Jesus Christ to ensure that
the next generation is not a “guinea pig” for the rest of his/her lives. Many non-consensual
human subjects testified at the Bioethics Commission 4thand 5th meetings. You can watch
Meeting 4 session 10 (March 1, 2011) and Meeting 5 Session 6 (May 18, 2011): Public
Page 124 of 135
Comments at bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-four and bioethics.gov/cms/meeting-five. In addition,
you can download the transcript in pdf file or watch the live archived sessions. I echo the words
that were announced at the 1976 National Urban League National Conference on Human
Experimentation, “we don’t want to kill science, but we don’t want science to kill, mangle, &
abuse us”.
How do I know that I am/we are in an experiment/research?
We meet the definition of being a human subject in an experiment/research as defined in 45 CFR
46.102, as well as, according to California Law, Health & Safety Code Section 24171, a medical
experiment is defined as “the severance or penetration or damaging of tissues of a human subject
or the use of a drug or device, electromagnetic radiation, heat or cold, or a biological substance
or organism, in or upon a human subject in the practice of research of medicine in a manner not
reasonably related to maintaining or improving the health of the subject or otherwise directly
benefiting the subject.” The informants are utilizing COINTELPRO tactics. COINTELPRO is a
well-organized, well-funded, well-connected, well-orchestrated operation with vast resources
across state lines and Internationally. COINTELPRO is an acronym for Counter Intelligence
Program. Wikipedia states, “it was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the
United States Federal Bureaus of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating,
discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations. COINTELPRO tactics included
discrediting through targets through psychological warfare, planting false reports in the media,
smearing through forged reports, harassment, wrongful imprisonment, extralegal violence and
assassination. COINTELPRO took place between 1956 and 1971. Officially, COINTELPRO
was termination in April 1971, but was it? The last major Congressional investigation of
COINTELPRO operations was conducted in 1976-1978 by the Church Committee. These
horrifying reports did not provide any effective legislative remedies for future victims. Nor did
they produce any prosecutions of proven criminals within the Justice Department.
COINTELPRO covert operations have been unleashed to neutralize the non-consensual human
subjects, which includes advanced electronic/electromagnetic radiation technology (including
gamma rays, microwave, & infrared), weapons (chemical, biological, direct energy, &
radiological), implants, and satellites/drones. You can read more information about the current
COINTELPRO tactics at www.COINTELPROContinuesToday.org.
Recently, Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-MA) authored the Confidential Informant
Accountability Act of 2011, H.R. 3228, which would require Federal law enforcement agencies
to report to Congress serious crimes, authorized, as well as, unauthorized, committed by their
confidential informants, to amend title 28, United States Code, with respect to certain tort claims
arising out of the criminal misconduct of confidential informants and for other purposes.
Deficiencies with the Current Regulations in the Human Research System
Page 125 of 135
Since 1991, the Common Rule has not been a strict, ethical, enforceable and lawfully,
promulgated regulation. The Common Rule “was originally written by the National Institutes of
Health and do not always appropriately address the ethical issues in research outside of the
biomedical context.” It is now being updated after 20 years. Year and year, Congress, HHS &
other Federal agencies continued to sponsor federally funded human subjects experiments,
without ratifying any Federal regulations & International standards, which would protect the
human subjects. Congress and HHS have failed to ratified legislation which would have closed
the loopholes for the protection of the human research subjects. These deficiencies have
benefited the researchers and have not protected the human subjects. There are:
1. Former President Clinton & the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation
Experiments (ACHRE): He directed the ACHRE to uncover the truth, recommend steps to
right past wrongs and propose ways to prevent unethical human subjects’ research from
occurring in the future. The Federal Government and Government officials failed ignored to
implement many of the 18 recommendations outlined in the ACHRE’s final report as well as, the
March 27, 1997 former President William Clinton’s Memorandum: Directive to Strengthened
Protections for Human Subjects of Classified Research; thus allowing continuous waivers for
informed consent of classified and secret human subjects experiments; no sanctions for
conducting research unethically; allowing for research conducted by Federal agencies that do not
follow the Common Rule, privately funded research that is not regulated by the Food and Drug
Administration or private individuals or institutions that do not receive any Federal funding to
conduct human subjects research without requiring that informed consent must be obtained for
the past 15 to 20 years. HHS failed to implement the memorandum, but NASA has included it in
their policy. As a result, many human subjects’ experiments are being conducted without being
required to obtain informed consent, whether orally or written.
2. Former Senator John Glenn: There is no law on the books requiring that informed
consent must be obtained. Informed consent must be obtained prior to conducting research on
human subjects. Former Senator John Glenn cited this issue in 1997 in his remarks for his
proposed legislation S. 193, Human Research Subject Protection Act to the 105th Congress. The
intent therefore of this legislation is twofold: First, to fill in the gaps of coverage of the common
rule by requiring all research involving human subjects to abide by the rule; and second, to
elevate the importance of conducting research ethically, the bill provides criminal fines and
penalties for failure to comply with the requirements of this law, and by extension 45 CFR 46.
The full text is available for your review at http://home.swipnet.se/allez/Eng/HumExpEn.htm.
Former Senator John Glenn said, “I want to put this in personal terms once again. You just think
about your own family, your own son, your own daughter, or grandchildren who might be, the
next time they go to a doctor, the subject of some medical experiment that they are not even told
about. I do not think there can be many things more un-American than that. That is
unconscionable, and we should not permit that.”
3. Proposed Congressional Legislation to Protect the Human Subjects: Congress passed
the Defense Authorization Act of 2012 in less than a year, but Congress has failed to ratify any
proposed legislation for the protection of human subjects in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2008 and
2011 for the past 15 years. In the April 29, 2002 press release, Congress Examines Research
Protection Oversight System: Legislation Needed”, Congress examines research protection
Page 126 of 135
oversight system and states that legislation is needed, but it is never ratified. The full press
release can be found at http://www.cossa.org/hsbackground.htm.Year after year, Congress and
HHS has funded human subjects’ experiments, without having proper legislation to protect the
human subjects. This has allowed for unethical, non-consensual human subject experiments to
continue. A list of the proposed laws is at www.circare.org.
4. President Clinton & National Bioethics Advisory Commission: The issue of informed
consent were addressed in 4 reports (1998, 1999a, 1999b, and 2001) because the topic is central
to the protections offered to research. As a first priority, NBAC directed its attention to the
consideration of the protection of the rights and welfare of humans’ research subjects. On May
17, 1997, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) unanimously adopted a
resolution that “No person in the United States should be enrolled in research without the twin
protection of informed consent by an authorized persons and independent review of the risks and
benefits of the research.” Later that month, Former President Clinton stated that “Science must
respect the dignity of every American. We must never allow our citizens to be unwitting guinea
pigs in scientific experiments that put them at risk without their consent and full knowledge.”
Almost 15 years later, the former Senator John Glenn’s, NBAC’s and former President
Clintons’goals remains unmet. In the May 4, 1999 letter, NBAC Chair, Harold T. Shapiro’s
memo to former President Clinton stated in his memo “Consistent with your October 3, 1995,
Executive Order 12975, the NBAV has focused a good deal of its efforts over the last three years
on issues surrounding the protection of human research subjects…I know of your interest, as
well as that of the Congress, which has rightfully inquired about the adequacy of existing
protections… our key concerns are
the following:
· Federal protections for persons serving as human research subjects do not yet
extend to all Americans.
· Despite widespread implementation of federal regulations by those departments
and agencies sponsoring substantial amounts of biomedical research, a number of
departments and agencies who sponsor primarily non-biomedical research or little research
overall have failed to implement these federal protections.
· Federal protections do not always include specific provisions for especially
vulnerable populations of research subjects.
· Many federal agencies find the interpretation and implementation of the Common Rule
confusing and/or unnecessarily burdensome.
Page 127 of 135
· Federal protections are difficult to enforce and improve effectively throughout the Federal
Government, in part because no single authority or office oversees research protections across all
government agencies and departments.
· New techniques are needed to ensure implementation at the local level.
5. EPA sued by the Pesticide Industry: March 2002 — the pesticide industry sued EPA
over this approach, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that
EPA’s interim approach was not established through required notice and comment rulemaking
and should be vacated. In a June 2003 decision, the court stated that, as a consequence, "the
agency’s previous practice of considering third-party human studies on a case-by-case
basis, applying statutory requirements, the Common Rule, and high ethical standards as a
guide, is reinstated and remains in effect unless and until it is replaced by a lawfully
promulgated regulation."
In conclusion, there have been many attempts to ensure that the safety and welfare of the human
subjects are protected, but many Federal agencies have failed to implement these federal
protections, including HHS and Congress. In the 2001 NBAC’s final report states, “Despite the
fact that many research institutions voluntarily apply the Common Rule—even to their privately
financed research—there are other significant sectors of privately funded research that remain
ungoverned either by State or Federal law. NBAC finds that the absence of Federal jurisdiction
over much privately funded research means that the U.S. government cannot know how many
Americans currently are subjects in experiments, cannot influence how they have been
recruited, cannot ensure that research subjects know and understand the risks they are
undertaking, and cannot ascertain whether they have been harmed. Not only does this
prevent the Federal Government from protecting Americans enrolling in research, but it affects
the Federal Government’s ability to craft policies governing emerging technologies. While
preparing its 1997 report Cloning Human Beings, for example, NBAC noted that the Common
Rule’s lack of jurisdiction over privately funded research made it impossible to rely on
IRBs as the primary mechanism for protecting human subjects against inappropriate uses
of those technologies.” I have completed a 41 page analysis, which discuss these issues in depth
is available for review.
Failure of OHRP to Investigate Allegations
“If HHS receives an allegation or indication of noncompliance related to human subject research
that is conducted or supported solely by a Common Rule department/agency other than HHS,
HHS will refer the matter to that department/agency for review and action as appropriate” as
stated at http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/ . In May 2011, I went to
OHRP’s office to file a formal complaint to find out which Federal agency was responsible for
conducting non-consensual human experimentation on my family and on those Americans in the
U.S.A. I was told by OHRP’s management that “there was nothing that this office could do for
you and that you should contact each agency and request a FOIA request.” In addition, she was
not aware of any agency, which was using electromagnetic radiation. I walked out with a copy of
Page 128 of 135
the Belmont report and the 45 CFR 46 in my hands, which I received. Others who contacted
OHRP have received a similar response by letter, which states: “OHRP has determined that it
does not have jurisdiction over the matters referenced in your letter. Therefore, OHRP
will not be able to pursue this matter on your behalf.” If it is not OHRP’s jurisdiction, to
ensure compliance oversight over human subject research, then who is responsible? Since
January 15, 2009, all IRBs must use the Internet-based registration maintained by HHS as stated
in 45 CFR 46.501. Is the answer right on HHS’s website?
Madam Secretary, this is why 11 years later from the issue of the final NBAC report, we are
coming to you, as non-consensual human research subjects to ask for your intervention to honor
our 3 requests as per the “Common Rule.” Many of us are in life-threatening situations.
1. “Non-consensual” Human Research Subjects Request to Discontinue Participation
I am speaking for myself and for my family, as well as, on behalf of the countless of my fellow
Americans and those worldwide who have been placed in a human experiment, without our
voluntary, informed written or oral consent or knowledge. I am writing you today to request that
we would like to discontinue or “opt-out” our participation in these human subject experiments
without prejudice. As stated in 45 CFR 46.116 (a)(8)) states , “ and the subject may discontinue
participation at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise
entitled.” I am not waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of my participation as a
non-consensual human subject. The legal rights of subjects may not be waived and human
subjects may not be asked to release or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the
institution or its agents from liability for negligence.
2. Human Subject Research Fails to Meet the 4 Criteria to Waive Informed Consent
According to 45 CFR 46.116 (d), ALL of the 4 criteria listed must be met to waive informed
consent. An IRB may approve a consent procedure which does not include, or which alters,
some or all of the elements of informed consent set forth in this section, or waive the
requirements to obtain informed consent provided the IRB finds and documents that:
(1) The research involves no more than minimal risk to the subjects; Minimal risk is the
probability and magnitude of physical or psychological harm that is normally encountered in the
daily lives, or in the routine medical, dental, or psychological examination of healthy persons.
(2) The waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and welfare of the subjects;
(3) The research could not practicably be carried out without the waiver or alteration; and
(4) Whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with additional pertinent information
after participation.
Page 129 of 135
Each one of the 4 criteria to waive informed consent has been violated:
In response to (1) The research practices, which myself and many other non-consensual human
subjects can be reclassified as “cruel and unusual punishment” or “crimes against humanity”,
which goes way beyond the physical or psychological harm that is “normally” encountered or in
the routine of a medical, dental, or psychological examination. This is torture. As a result, many
non-consensual human subjects are/were diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses; many are
maimed or died as a result of the daily torture with lasers, electromagnetic radiation- gamma
rays, infrared, microwave. Some even committed suicide. Many have lost their hair and teeth.
In response to (2): The rights and welfare of the subjects have been affected. The basic ethical
principles of respect of persons, beneficence and justice as stated in the Belmont report have
been violated. According to 45 CFR 46.123, the department or agency head may require that
department or agency support for any project be terminated or suspended in the manner
prescribed in applicable program requirements, when the department or agency head finds an
institution has materially failed to comply with the terms of this policy. In addition, whether the
applicant or the person or persons who would direct or has/have directed the scientific and
technical aspects of an activity has/have, in the judgment of the department or agency head,
materially failed to discharge responsibility for the protection of the rights and welfare of human
subjects (whether or not the research was subject to federal regulation).
In response to (3) If the research could not be carried out without the waiver or alteration, then
maybe it should not be doing it in the first place.
In response to (4): This is an ambiguous and open-ending statement with no timeframe attached
to it. My family and I have never received any additional pertinent information after
participation. When appropriate could mean anytime including after I am dead.
3. Human Subject Research Violates the Rights & Welfare of Vulnerable Population:
Children
Many children/minors have been included in this human subject research, without receiving
parental/guardian permission consent documentation as defined in 45 CFR 46.408 and these
children/minors are not wards of the state or any other agency, institution, or entity as defined in
45 CFR 46.409. No adequate provisions were made for soliciting the assent of children and the
permission of their parents or guardians, as set forth in 45 CFR 46.408 as stated in 45 CFR
46.407 (iii). These children/minor are involve in research, which involves greater than minimal
risk as defined in 45 CFR 46.404 and does not present the prospect of direct benefit to them at
defined in 45 CFR 46.406. In July 2005 the National Academy of Sciences came to the
conclusion that the preponderance of scientific evidence shows that even very low doses of
radiation pose a risk of cancer or other health problem and there is no threshold below, which
exposure can be viewed as harmless. According to data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, show that
symptoms may persist for up to 10 years and may also have an increased long-term risk for
leukemia and lymphoma.The effects of radiation on the human body can be found at
Page 130 of 135
www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/radeffects.shtml. As a result, the children’s DNA has been
altered and now these “ DNA mutations” will become part of their permanent DNA. Now, when
they will have children and this new modified DNA will become part of their hereditary and
passed on for future generations to their children and their children’s children. Some of these
children are not economically or educationally disadvantaged, but they have been placed in
because of their race. This research is not being conducted in accordance with sound ethical
principles as stated in 45 CFR 46.607 (ii).
Request a 90 day Moratorium on all U.S. Human Research Subjects/ Federally Funded
Human Subjects Experiments Internationally: Serious Concerns about the Current Update
of the “Common Rule” and the Future of Human Subjects Research/Experiments
I am requesting a 90 day moratorium on all U.S. Human Research Subjects/Federally Funded
Human Subjects Experiments Internationally until laws are ratified because the current Federal
laws and International standards do not protect the human subjects. This is a massive
undertaking. It has been 20 years since this document has been updated. Even though we have
been treated like “animals”, we are human beings. We should have the same rights as everyone
else. This will allow Congress and the HHS to develop a comprehensive plan to resolve this
important issue that affects the lives of human beings. It appears that this is no big thing, but it is
a MASSIVE thing for us, because you have no clue how it feels to lose your eyesight
(temporarily and then regain it) or not being able to barely walk because of the excruciating pain.
There has been poor oversight by HHS and Congress in the past 15 to 20 years for the protection
of human subjects. Will the new revised “Common Rule” include the issues of ACHRE, NBAC,
Executive Orders and Memorandums by former President Clinton, results of the EPA lawsuit,
and former Senator John Glenn? If these issues are not even in the new revised Common Rule
we will have the same problem today of “non-consensual” human subjects in the future.
Is there a conflict of interest with HHS sponsoring experiments & those who are on the Advisory
Board? How can HHS “police” itself? In FY 1999, HHS was the largest sponsor of federally
funded programs. There was a proposal to have an independent organization to provide
oversight for human subject research.
Has HHS reviewed the Europeans laws on the protection of human subjects’ experiments? The
European has stricter laws and many of them have come to conduct their clinical trials in the
U.S. because it is “easier”. Everyone is aware of the “easy pass”, which is available. What steps
will be taken to mitigate that the new laws are advantageous to the human subjects? The
Common Rule should include regulations for biomedical and non-biomedical. I propose that
Congress and HHS should work closely together while ratifying the Common Rule. HHS has
received over 1153 responses and not including the comments from the Bioethics Commission.
Based on the past history of the HHS, can they be objective to develop a Federal regulation,
which is beneficial to the protection of human subjects and not advantageous to the researchers?
Does HHS have the resources, knowledge, skills, and ability to revise “The Common Rule” to
Page 131 of 135
become a strict, ethical, enforceable and lawfully, promulgated regulation that will protect the
human subjects? If the Federal regulation, “The Common Rule” is revised correctly, then (1)
Many human subjects’ experiments will decrease dramatically (2) Researchers will face criminal
charges, therefore eliminating the “free pass” for researchers to persecute, maim, mutilate, and
even kill their human subjects and (3) informed consent will be required, therefore eliminating
the researchers ability to “select anyone that they want of their chosen, without informing them”
to participate in their experiments. More importantly, will it be an enforceable, lawfully
promulgated Federal regulation, which researchers will be held accountable for their
actions and it will eliminate many future unethical, human experiments? In addition, there
will no longer be people in lifelong non-consensual human subjects. All human subjects’
experiments will be transparent. Will HHS bring in outside experts? How long will they take?
The ACHRE used hundreds of people to go through all of those documents. Is Congress going to
ratify its Human Subjects Protection Act? Will the revised “Common Rule” go out for review to
the public again? Will the resolution of those public comments be posted? I am proposing a
monthly update by HHS to Congress in this process and then to the public. Can the public be
involved?
Approximately 600 pages of U.S. victims’ testimonies were submitted to the Department of
Health & Human Services, Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) in Oct. /Nov. 2011.
On Nov. 23, 2011, I sent a letter via email to the Bioethics Commission & to OHRP to respond
to OHRP’s Federal Register that OHRP will accept the public comments from the Bioethics
Commission. In addition, one other victim also forwarded a letter to them as well. Was this
action completed? I also sent my comments, which I provided to the Bioethics Commission.
HHS should have received the 25 pages of legal analyses: 12 pages of analysis by G. Mason cites
legal cases (many attorneys would like this one) proves the inadequacy of 45 CFR 46 in
enforcing the right to informed consent and retired attorney Robert S., provides more proof that
the Federal Government agencies are involved and he discusses modern-day COINTELPRO
tactics. This document is also available for review at www.COINTELPROContinuesToday.org.
In Dec. 20111, Bioethics Commission received 41 pages of analysis by Former Federal Govt.
engineer, Letitia Peters provides proof that the Federal Government agencies and Congress have
not ratified laws to protect human subjects in almost 20 years. From pages 36 to the end, she
presents information relevant to HHS, Congress, & to the Federal Government agencies. My
concerns about HHS capabilities to handle a massive undertaking of updating 45 CFR 46 after
20 years are a serious concern. What will be Congress’ role? This document will be available for
review at www.thecanche.tumblr.com.
In closing, I support the efforts that America has done to condone crimes against humanity and
torture in other nations, but now we need America to be here for us: the American people. My
religious beliefs have been violated by being in a non-consensual human subject research as
well. There are countless of men, women, and children in America and worldwide who are
unaware that they are victims of COINTELPRO abuse and/or have been placed in a non-
consensual human subject research. They do not attribute their ongoing “bad luck”; mishaps;
animal killings; or mysterious, untreatable, disabling “environmental” diseases to covert
operatives using old COINTELPRO tactics plus new weapons of war to terrorize, neutralize, and
Page 132 of 135
prevent resisting the treatment. These professional, well-orchestrated intrusions induce
excruciating pain, exhaustion, terror, alienation, and sometimes result in violent behavior against
themselves or others – eventually, one way or another, “neutralizing” and killing the non-
consensual human subject. We want our lives back now. Princeton Theologian, Paul Ramsey
whose 1970 work, The Patient as a Person states, “No man is good enough to experiment upon
another without his consent.”

U.S. puts sanctions on telecom firms in Syria,
Iran
The Obama administration announces sanctions for
recording cellphone calls, monitoring Internet traffic and
employing other technological tools to 'facilitate grave
human rights abuses.'

WASHINGTON — The Internet and social media helped fuel last year's "Arab Spring" pro-
democracy uprisings. Now, the Obama administration wants to prevent companies from using
the same technology to help repressive regimes in Syria and Iran target dissidents.
Taking aim at what it called "digital guns for hire," the administration unveiled new sanctions
against major telecom firms in those countries as well as the governments themselves for
recording cellphone calls, monitoring Internet traffic and employing other technological tools to
"facilitate grave human rights abuses."
"These technologies should be in place to empower citizens, not to repress them," President
Obama said in announcing the sanctions Monday in a speech at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum.
The sanctions freeze any assets or property in the United States controlled by the companies or
the Syrian and Iranian governments. The sanctions also ban government officials or company
executives implicated in using technology to "track and target citizens for violence" from
obtaining visas to enter the U.S.
Page 134 of 135
The U.S. has used sanctions against companies in the past. In fact, the Treasury Department in
August announced sanctions against one of the telecom firms named Monday, Syriatel.
U.S. officials said the private company, Syria's largest mobile phone carrier, was controlled by
an insider in the regime of the country's president, Bashar Assad.
But focusing on specific technologies used in repression is a novel approach, said Philip N.
Howard, director of the Project on Information Technology and Political Islam at the University
of Washington.
"There are other countries, perhaps China, Cuba or Russia, where technology firms are also
state-controlled and may also be implicated in human rights abuses," Howard said. "It could
open the door to other kinds of diplomatic actions."
Still, there are complexities to targeting technology in repressive countries such as Iran, he said.
"The tough policy choice would be to figure out how to have effective information technology
sanctions on Iran that would cripple the infrastructure of the regime while still allowing civil
society groups to use Facebook, Google or Twitter to get news or information about the world
and get news and information to their family and friends," he said.
The administration's international cyberspace strategy released last year said U.S. officials
"encourage people all over the world to use digital media ... and denounce those who harass,
unfairly arrest, threaten or commit violent acts against the people who use these technologies."
The Internet and social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter played a pivotal role in the
pro-democracy uprisings of last year's Arab Spring, which led to the toppling of repressive
regimes in Egypt, Tunisia and other countries.
U.S. officials and activists say the governments of Syria and Iran have used technology to
prevent their regimes from falling.
In Syria, the Assad government has killed about 9,000 people as part of a yearlong crackdown on
armed rebels, according to the United Nations. The Obama administration said the Syrian
government had directed Syriatel, which controls 55% of that nation's cellphone market, to cut
off network access in areas where the government planned attacks on rebels. The company also
recorded mobile phone calls on the government's behalf, the administration said.
Datak Telecom, an Internet service provider in Iran, collaborated with the government there to
monitor, track and target people who tried to get around the regime's blocking of Internet
content, the administration said.
Datak also assisted in surveillance of Iranians who used a popular commercial email service, and
it planned to expand the operation to potentially include millions of Iranian Internet users,
according to the White House.
Page 135 of 135
The administration also aimed the new sanctions at Syrian and Iranian government agencies and
officials who directed the surveillance operations.
One person specifically named was Ali Mamluk, who the administration said oversaw a
communications program by the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate that was directed at
opposition groups.
Mamluk worked with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security to provide the Syrian
government with training in the use of Internet monitoring technology, the administration said.
He also requested Iran's help with monitoring social networks, it said.
The Syrian General Intelligence Directorate has been implicated in serious human rights abuses,
such as arbitrary arrests and the deaths of detainees, the administration said.
